Sleep

To all my friends and network.

Sleep, to many of us is just an equity that seems so easy and worthless to trade off as or when we like. It is so seemingly un-important that we use it to trade it for work; for games or for fun.

Although in an average life time; a person would spend 1 third of his life sleeping; 1 quarter of his life traveling; one quarter of his life waiting; it still does not mean that we should treat trading off sleep so lightly. It just means that we need better planning.

For those who have read this, sleep well.

Jokes at the start of FY09/10

1st Joke:
I went to office on April Fool's day, which is also the First work day of our financial year 09/10. Then I heard my boss say, "this week we would need to do OT." Then my supervisor laugh, followed by me, then my colleagues.

I seriously think we misunderstood my boss; he didn't continued his sentence. He just took half day leave and AWOL. Next thing I know; we were staying back in office drinking coffee and doing work while listening to Class95 playing Westlife's "FOOL AGAIN." (can't believe that i am the fool again......)



Financial year: and what it means.
We need to submit our claims before the end of the month and usually my nice supervisors would remind me. Seeing the "emptiness" in my bank account; I am very conscious in submitting my claim for my taxi fares to the PSC department(my company's claim department) once I return from my last trip of the month (cause you can't submit claims twice).

To my horror, I saw this message today. "Due to the end of our financial year08/09, You would need to wait till earliest 6th April for all your claims to be processed." My office literally imploded with the thunder coming out from my heart.

Lesson learn: In other words; the start of your financial year doesn't mean you start spending. It just means you are not allowed to spend, and until that time arrives; you are suppose to be playing survival.
