Cool Simpsons-Star Wars Mash Up

Culturally Speaking...

Spent the day at WCG with two of my friends snapping pix of cosplayers at Suntec City and headed down to Esplanade to check out Intone playing at Baybeats.

As we headed back after the set, we walked towards the front of the Esplanade which prompted one of my friends, who is from Sarawak, to ask if we visited the Esplanade frequently to catch any cultural performances.

Upon hearing this, my other friend replied, as-a-matter-of-factly, "The only culture in me comes from a daily bottle of Yakult". I'm putting this down for the quote of the day.

Some pointers in life according to Maui philosophy....

Saw a guy wearing a t-shirt at a Burger King outlet in town. Back of his tee had some interesting pointers in life according to some Maui philosophy. Couldn't remember exactly all of them but here's a list of those my friend and I recalled:

1. The best things in life are not things
2. The man who dies with the most toys.. still dies
3. You can be rich too; either earn more or desire less
4. Age is relative; once you're over the hill you pick up speed
5. Don't judge a day by the weather
6. No rain, no rainbow
7. Be honest, speak the truth, you'll need to remember less
   

My Top 10 Demotivators for Office Survival

I noticed that many organisations have motivational posters put up around the office to encourage their staff to go the extra mile. But I'm wondering exactly how many people actually stop midway in their work to look at these posters and ponder on their messages.

Maybe I'm alone on this but I'm pretty desensitised to these posters as I've been exposed to them since national service. However, what I do find interesting and amusing to read in-between work are demotivational posters . For the new and uninitiated, here's an example:

Of course your HR department would never put these up around the office but hey, I seriously think it has a better effect since humor's a good way to help unwind while you're working on your deadlines.

And here's my favourite list of demotivational messages:

1. Apathy: If we don't take care of the customer,maybe they'll stop bugging us.
2. Blame: The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.
3. Cluelessness: There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
4. Consulting: If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
5. Demotivation: Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people.
6. Mistakes: It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.
7. Power: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely, too.
8. Pressure: It can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or an average person into a perfect basketcase.
9. Procrastination: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
10. Worth: Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important.
