Out of Ideas for a Title
No matter how much I say I would stay home and do work… I’ll never be able to do what I say, cause there are just so many distractions. I opted to stay home today and finish up whatever I’m supposed to do as I have deadlines to meet…and plus I gotta wait for the plumber to come and fix the pipe in my bathroom that has been leaking for about a week now. While I’m sitting here cracking my brains out in coming up with the core competency framework, I’m so tempted to lie down on the bed and take a power nap. Yeah rite. Power nap that will probably last a few hours.

I also have the intention to cook for dinner tonight but I’m running out of ideas of what to cook, as much as I’m running out of ideas in writing up the core competencies.

I’m gonna be working this weekend…preparing for the big event next week. To interview one of the most influential figure in the financial industry and I do not want to be stuck in the most major blonde moment ever, so I’ve got lotsa things to read up and prep myself. I also specifically bought a new suit that fits because all the others are tight which I can only zip half way or not at all. Some pants/skirts can only go up to my thighs. I just hope I can wear them again once Conggo is born. Conggo is the little one’s nickname for now. Conggo loves music. Everytime I put the headphone around my tummy, Conggo kicks and turns and swirls in my tummy.

Yawn…I’m going into my dreamland. Have a good weekend!

The One with the General Election
It has been quite an interesting weekend for the entire nation, hasn’t it? What else if it was not for the 12th General Election that took place last Sat March 8th? As a responsible Malaysian, I exercised my voting rights on that day. And to my surprise, I didn’t have to queue for a long time while waiting for my turn. I was expecting to see some familiar faces at the voting centre, but nope, didn’t see any.

I had never expected that I would be writing about this one day. But somehow I felt compelled to write about this anyway. I’m talking about the obvious – Malaysian politics. I never knew I’d be this interested…I now wished that I could be a Political Analyst, since I now know I actually LIKE analyzing things. Well that is what I do for a living…I analyze situations in organizations and then I get to tell them how they’ve not done things right or what they can do to have the right things in their organization.

So the results of the election were a bit of shocker, eh? I never had expected that the Selangor state would actually fall into the opposition’s hands! Call me skeptical whatever…but I doubt (and I really doubt) if they can actually fulfill what they’ve promised for. But one thing for sure, I know I’m not the only one who’s feeling this way. But I guess, the rakyat had done what they thought was best (my definition of doing my best may differ from yours).

There are a lot of lessons that can be learned from here. A lot of things will be impacted following the results of the election. One very obvious thing was the drop in the market today. Swoosh! What other things can be impacted that can follow suit? Job prospects? Your privileges? Our future will definitely be impacted...in a good way or otherwise…I don’t know. What they execute today will have an impact tomorrow.

So to those who were actually eligible to vote but didn’t vote because you didn’t care…to me, these people do not have the right to complain later on. You had your chance, but you blew it. Too bad.
