Recce Commander Course

Im currently on course right now, so my free time is reduced greatly... Well, that means i have to follow a set of timetable and cannot do things as and when as i like. It also means that i have limited free time which restricts me to do certain things and prioritize them like the last half of the year. Haizz... I do hate trainee life...


Today had nothing much to do as i wanted to rest my aching body after a week of training. I rented a Korean movie to watch, reccomended by the shop owner. Quite a nice movie i should say. It's about a not so popular gal falling in love with two guys. One of them is rich playboy, changes girlfriend every other week and is man of the every high school girl's dream. The other, a small time hooligan who bumped into her and starts calling her 'sister'. It is logically correct as the girl is older in age with the 2nd guy but they are blood related as they share the same father. The girl does not know about her father's 2nd marriage and her step-brother. So this unpopular girl suddenly becomes popular with the rest of her class or even the entire school. And the entire story is about how this two guys fought over who should be her boyfriend. It touches on how this girl falls in love with the playboy yet cares for his new found brother. His brother who lost both his mother and grandmother to a hereditary diesease that he is the only one left. Alone in this world, he turns to his sister for comfort and seeks the empty love in his heart he craves so much for. An overal romance-comedy that i suggest would be a couple-type of movie to watch in the cinema.


It was a rather long story and would require some time to explain. What i would suggest is renting the movie and watch it yourself. It's worth the price and time. The one thing that i took from the movie was falling in love with your sibling. Does it really happen? Does a long lost sister invokes such deep feelings for the other that he actually falls in love? I have known my god-sister for almost eight years. I even stayed with her for long periods of time. We share our joys and pains with each other. But somehow... I do not think i would fall in love with her. No matter what... All the things i do, all the words i say would always feel like an elder brother to a younger sister. I guess im just different. It does brings me to wonder why is the situation different from the movie. I guess the answer lies in the that pair of eyes i see whenever i call for her.

Where's the Baby??

My uncle who was living in Australia told me this story, till date i can never believe its real.


One day while he was shopping in the city, he saw this lady with her blouse unbuttoned and her left breast exposed. So he walked up to the lady and said, 'Mdm, do you know that your left breast is being exposed? You could be arrested for indecent exposure by the officer!' The lady looked a little dazed at my uncle. Than she freaked out and screamed, 'Oh God! I left the baby in the bus again!!'


Weird eh...

Management Experiment

I recalled a survery i read about management in the business world. Should be something like this...


Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling. Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.


One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder. All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why.


However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder. A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey.


One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why. This is how any company's policies get Established.


Weird eh...
