Bad luck or Clumsy?

Yesterday, I accidentally poured some hot water onto my lap! F*cking HOT, ok!
Pain like hell!!!

Today, I accidentally cut my finger while chopping onion -_-"

I asked Nel " Am I bad luck or what?!?!?!"

Nel said "CLUMSY!!"

Czech Cuisine

This is the most romantic restaurant I've ever gone to-date.


The restaurant is located in Prague, Czech Republic. The atmosphere of the lower ground section resembles dungeon. Haha. It's actually converted underground vaults built during the medieval period.

I had to whisper while speaking to Nel because the restaurant was just too quiet and peaceful. No music; nothing! The other patronages around you could easily overhear our conversation otherwise. Fortunately, most of them won't understand our languages.


Anyway, you won't want to spoil the ambience by speaking loudly in a cosy restaurant like this :)


Nel ordered a roast wild boar with potato and vege. Haha, wild boar sounds so exotic in a city restaurant but that was the words writen in the menu.


I ordered a roast duck with dumplings and cabbage. I didn't know what those dumplings are until I read it from a travel book. It is a dumpling made of either wheat or potato flour that is boiled. By the way, it's tasteless :(


I don't particularly fond of the dishes. I don't know, perhaps I don't know how to appreciate Czech Cuisine.






Nevertheless, I will give it a second try if I ever go to Czech Republic again :)

Tax Tax Tax

The emergency mini budget is out!
Income levy rates will be doubled which means I have to pay double from 1 May onwards :(
Whatever interest I earned for saving my money in the bank is tax at 25% (increase 4% compare to last year)

Is this budget going to help Ireland's current economy? Nobody knows.

The Dinner

I had a full day class today. I almost fell asleep untill my lecturer said that he actually lived in Malaysia for quite a couple of years. He then made a statement "I realised that Ireland corruption is very very very mild!!" Hahaha!!!

Anyway, Nel and I made a simple dinner tonight. I cooked the "tumeric fried chicken". Actually, I did not fried it, I oven-baked the chicken wings. Nel cooked the omelette :)



A complete dinner must come with a dessert. We had ice-cream :D


I'm looking forward for next weekend! We have Good Friday and Easter Monday! 4days off in a roll :)

试用期

昨天,我的同事A被‘炒鱿鱼’了!原因不是经济不好,而是A的试用期到了。说起来还挺残忍的。我的老板认为他的能力不能够胜任这职位。A已经不是第一位了,之前就有一位同事就这样被‘干掉’。

谁错谁对,我还真的搞不懂。A是四大会计公司之一培训出来的。昨天是A的试用期刚满。老板就告诉A不需要拒续。A手头上的工作也这样停了。

有时候觉得老外很假,因为他们老是把 perfect! brilliant! amazing! excellant! 挂在嘴边。
有时候明明就觉得还好,他们就说 marvelous! wonderful!

可是我现在看到的是老板还蛮直接的。像这样的事情就已经发生第三次了。
以前我还在KL上班的时候,也有类似的情况。但是那时候的老板就没有那么直接。他把我的旧同事的试用期延长,长期不给他工作。最后逼到他自己要离职。其实叫他不需要拒续也不必赔钱,毕竟还在试用期期间。我就不知道为何要为难这位同事。

之前的老板, 我认为他做法拖泥带水。
现在的老板, 我又觉得他有点‘绝’!

同样的事情,两种做法。如果是你,你认为那一种方法才对呢?
