The Lost Symbol

Dan Brown... mention this name and words like bible-sceptic, conspiracy and symbols come to mind. I have to admit the Da Vincci Code was a good read... the movie isn’t as good as the book. Then sometime this year i watched Angels and Demons without reading the book. So, my expectation on the movie is lower, thus, i could say the movie is ok.
Now, the focus is on The Lost Symbol, Brown’s latest novel. The novel started off in a slow pace and after a few chapters, the plot gets more interesting. Then I started turning pages, or rather scrolling pages as i was reading the pdf version ;) After watching two movies on Robert Langdon, it’s kinda hard not to associate the Langdon character with Tom Hanks! I gotta say Brown is a good story-teller. But after the ‘mystery’ is solved, there are still 50 over pages left... so I read on to see what’s in store. Those pages are boring... I just skimmed through those pages. He should’ve ended the book after the truth has been revealed to Langdon... that’s what I think...
Well, what do you think?

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade...

So when my company decided to make it compulsory for the company to shutdown for the raya holidays i bought tickets to return to sabah... this time around my family decided to take a (jalan-jalan cari makan) roadtrip to sandakan, a place that's about 5 hours away (by road) from kota kinabalu...

The road condition is terrible, being in a twin cab doesn't help either... about half-way into the journey my poor nephew had to switch places with me, hoping that Rav4 will be less bumpy...i was so tempted to fly back to kk after the trip!

The hotel was so-so, the town filthy, the food acceptable...

I think any trip longer than 2 hours should be done by air!

Stressed @ Work?

I know God won't give me anything I can't handle.I just wish he didn't trust me so much.
~Mother Teresa

We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us.

Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas.

Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.
~Richard Carlson

Sometimes it seems your ever-increasing list of things to do can leave you feeling totally undone.

~Susan Mitchell and Catherine Christie, I'd Kill for a Cookie

Stress is poison.
~Agavé Powers

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
~J. Lubbock

Argh

You know, sometimes being too 'efficient' isn't a good thing... especially in the workplace when the actions and decisions of others might affect your work progress... yesterday was really a day when i felt like yelling MYOB to that particular person... tension is in the air...

You know what i really need?
