Personalities of people I met:

i. "Tak apa" attitude.

One of the more popular one is the "tak apa" attitude ("I don't care). As long as they get to do nominal work and get paid, they do not care if anything happen to any one else and the company. Only when they themselves are in a situation, then they 'tunjuk taring'. They only care when their livelihood is affected.

ii. Big time liars

I hate this type the most when they say one thing, they do another. Some more declare openly to take responsibility but then just push it away at the right time. This usually comes with many years of practice at setting people up and getting away with it.

iii. so-called "expert" or "experienced" person (tin kosong)

People who claims that they are "experts" when they only know about the subject for a short period. And lead everyone by the nose and make loud claims that have no substantiation. Sigh.....

iv. "The world is my oyster"

Things should evolve around them and they are oblivious to what is happening. One example, one fella pretending to be blind and not help when the more senior people was cleaning up the place. What a shame....

v. "Bagai Kacang lupa kulit" ('like the nut forgetting the shell')

Is similar to the dog biting the owner's hand that was feeding it. People just don't appreciate that the current economic situations in the world is bad and jobs are hard to come by. Some more can become 'traitors' because of association with so called "big fish". Sigh...so sad....

Well, that's life....I quote "or the world wont be round" (Famous quote by Choulyee) =P

KUALA LUMPUR: Biotechnology will benefit all races and provide the direction for the country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Biotechnology, as the main driver of development in the five economic corridors, has an important influence in agriculture, the environment, energy resources as well as future development of scientists, he said.
“With our three areas of focus - agriculture, healthcare and industrial development - biotechnology will have a tremendous influence in the direction of our country’s future,” he said at the opening of BioMalaysia 2008 yesterday.

He pointed out that the emphasis on biotechnology would pose a challenge to industry players.

“These areas (corridors) are multiracial and it (the benefit) is not for a particular race only.

“Biotechnology will help improve people’s lives. It will also produce many new courses in universities.”

The corridors are Sabah Development Corridor, Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy, Northern Economic Corridor Region, East Coast Economic Corridor and Iskandar Malaysia.

Abdullah hoped the application of biotechnology, including producing more effective medications, would give Malaysians a more healthy, vibrant and active lifestyle.

He said he was glad that the Biotech International Advisory Panel, which held its third meeting on Monday, recognised Malaysia’s effort to succeed in biotechnology.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili said the three focus of biotechnology would be applied at the corridors based on their strengths and their needs.

He said the International Advisory Panel had advised that Malaysia go back to its strengths in marine and agriculture and find ways to add value to them.

He said the meeting felt it was the right time for Malaysia to market itself more aggressively, as the Americans and other investors were looking for alternative investment opportunities.

“Malaysia is a suitable alternative. With a reasonable high growth rate of 5.5%, we are able to absorb the shock (of the meltdown in the United States),” he said.

About 2,000 delegates took part in the three-day conference and exhibition.

LEAD programme.....at Ulu Kenas =)

Just came back from Ulu Kenas, Kuala Kangsar for another LEAD programme........a much needed departure from my work......had a very good weekend there. Tired now but satisfied with the weekend....=P

Long time no blog.....=P

Hello...it's been a while since I last blogged. I have been busy, busy and busy. Not only with work but also with lasallian stuff. It was FT weekend last 2 weeks and now in another 2 weeks will be LEAD programme. 

Now, got some pics to put up.....

My ex-colleagues in Genting Sanyen (Division outing)

Current colleagues in ACGT (Asiatic Centre for Genome Technology)

Also, I worked so hard that I 'lost' some hair.....hehe....most of it had grown back....haha

Yes, its been 4 months since I left sanyen to join ACGT. The job's pretty challenging but I should be able to handle the usual workload.....of course with extra hours put into it....*tired look* Now officially a 'farmer' (my friends will give me that 'you are kidding' look). Yes, I never did once ever think I will end up in the agriculture sector. It's amazing how things become. 

Haaaa......it feels good to blog again. It takes off some level of stress (I was actually doing some work just now, drawing so many crosses just now until i felt 'crossed-eyed'!)

Ok.....back to do whatever is left! CHIA YU!
