ali setan



hehe..
jumpa kat youtube akhirnya

filem ni memang (one of) my all time favourite

will try to find the other classic movies

(salute to the guy yg upload this to youtube)

fine dining

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE
and Minister of Defence of the UAE
and Ruler of Dubai, UAE
memang active, executive, determine
and full of new ideas and initiatives
dalam menjalan dan melaksanakan
tugas dan impian beliau

baru-baru ni..
he decided to host a luncheon
(after their weekly cabinet meeting
and visiting one of the government projects)
in a quite symbolic and bold event


it was outdoor, informal and refreshing
at the same time, it did represent...
'back-to-you-roots' kind of thing
don't you think ?

well.. will Malaysia boleh ?
we shall wait and see..

lucky ones


hmmm.. lama dah tak sambung siri isketam
sibuk pun ye.. idea tak masuk pun ye
malas nak menaip pun ye.. hehe..

anyway.. here it goes..

statistik kemalangan jalan raya di UAE
kalau compares with Malaysia
memang jauh la jauh berbeza

di Malaysia tanahairku
penduduknya lebih ramai
bilangan kenderaan pun lebih banyak

namun begitu, pihak berwajib di UAE
memang concern dengan kadar peningkatan
kemalangan jalan raya..
apatah lagi yang melibatkan kematian

antara faktor penyebab.. seperti biasa...
tidak mematuhi undang-undang jalan raya
memandu laju.. tak sempat brake bila emergency..
langgar lampu isyarat.. ikut lorong emergency
dan lain lain lagi..

self-activate speed cameras
memang bertambah banyak
cameras di kawasan town pun makin banyak
di traffic lights pun bertambah juga
at every 5 kilometers kalau kat highway

but.. macam biasa..
orang akan 'slow' masa depan camera tu je
orang tak takut jugak bila in a hurry

(average speed limit in highway is 120 kmh
but, with a grace limit till 140 kmh)

apapun.. yang menarik adalah
kerjasama pihak polis trafik
dengan satu suratkhabar tempatan
di mana, setiap hari akan ada satu page, gambar terpilih
kenderaan yang melakukan kesalahan trafik
sebagai peringatan sepatutnya.. named and shamed..

tapinya.. sedar tak sedar..
kalau difikirkan dan diperhatikan
boleh jadi bende lain lak..
sebagai pameran sahaja.. named and famed..

hmmm...

ne me quitte pas



Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Il faut oublier let’s forget
Tout peut s'oublier all can be forgotten
Qui s'enfuit déjà which is gone by already

Oublier le temps forget the time
Des malentendus of misunderstanding
Et le temps perdu and the time lost

A savoir comment finding out how
Oublier ces heures to forget those hours
Qui tuaient parfois which sometimes killed
A coups de pourquoi by blows of why
Le cœur du bonheur the heart of happiness
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Moi je t'offrirai i will give you
Des perles du pluie pearls of rain
Venues de pays come from countries
Où il ne pleut pas where it never rains

Je creus'rai la terre i will dig up the earth
Jusqu'après ma mort even in death
Pour couvrir ton corps to cover your body
D'or et de lumière with gold and with light

Je f'rai un domaine i will make a kingdom
Où l'amour s'ra roi where love shall be king
Où l'amour s'ra loi where love shall be law
Où tu seras reine where you shall be queen

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Je t'inventerai i shall invent
Des mots insensés senseless words
Que tu comprendras which you will understand

Je te parlerai i shall tell you about
De ces amants là those lovers who
Qui ont vu deux fois saw twice their hearts
Leurs cœurs s'embraser go up in flames

Je te racont'rai i shall tell you
L'histoire de ce roi the story of this king
Mort de n'avoir pas dead for not having succeeded
Pu te rencontrer in finding you
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

On a vu souvent one has often seen
Rejaillir le feu burst anew the fire
De l'ancien volcan of an old volcano
Qu'on croyait trop vieux believed to be spent

Il est parait il there are, it is said,
Des terres brûlées scorched lands
Donant plus de blé yielding more wheat
Qu'un meilleur avril than the best of April

Et quand vient le soir and when evening comes
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie to make the sky flare up
Le rouge et le noir the red and the black
Ne s'épousent ils pas don’t they wed

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Je n'vais plus pleurer i’ll weep no more
Je n'vais plus parler i’ll speak no more
Je me cacherai là i’ll hide right here
A te regarder to look at you
Danser et sourire dance and smile
Et à t'écouter to listen to you sing
Chanter et puis rire and then laugh

Laiss'moi devenir let me become the shadow
L'ombre de ton ombre of your shadow
L'ombre de main the shadow of your hand
L'ombre de ton chien the shadow of your dog

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me
Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

Ne me quitte pas don’t leave me

just for laugh.. or is it ?



How to Put The Right People For The Right Job

Put around 100 bricks
in some particular order
in a closed room with an open window.

Then send 2-3 candidates
into the room and close it from outside.

Leave them alone
and come back after 6 hours,
and then analyze the situation:

If they are counting
and recounting the number of bricks
- PUT THEM! IN ACCOUNTS DEPT.

If they have messed up
the whole place with the bricks
- PUT THEM IN ENGINEERING

If they are arranging the bricks
in some other order
- PUT THEM IN PLANNING.

If they are throwing the bricks
at each other
- PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.

If they are sleeping
- PUT THEM IN SECURITY.

If they have broken the bricks
into pieces
- PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

If they are sitting idle
- PUT THEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT.

If they have thrown the bricks
out of the window
- PUT THEM IN THE MATERIALS DEPT.

If they are clinging onto the bricks
- PUT THEM IN QUANTITY CONTROL.

If they say they have tried different combinations,
yet not a brick has moved
- PUT THEM IN SALES.

If they have already left for the day
- PUT THEM IN MARKETING.

If they are staring out of the window
- PUT THEM IN STRATEGIC PLANNING.

and last but not least....

If they are talking to each other
and not a single brick has been moved
- PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT
