The haze is so bad that I caught a runny nose and a little cough. Schools in some states are already closed. For my office? All staff received an email from our health and safety department which simply stated reduce going outdoor and drink more fluids. If you are feeling unwell like sore eyes and sore throat, see doctor.

What else can I interpret? Perhaps, get to work to meed deadlines.

It reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend where employees of a certain company in Japan were ordered to stay in the building after a massive earthquake. Everyone was in a trauma due to the earthquake and when this acquaintance asked for relief as in go home for the day, the person was denied with the reply that 'what if got customers coming in?' Will there be customers doing shopping after a massive earthquake? Or is it just because they are paid to do their work that life has been put aside? This person cannot comprehend what was going on so the person bought a one way ticket immediately to go back to the original country. The person abandoned a high-flying job there with no regrets because life is more important than money. I did mention that professionalism is at stake but then which is more important? Life or professionalism?

Aww... Now I come to think of it there is a local cafe in my housing vicinity that only employs handsome and beautiful baristas/waiters. All of their staff are like those Kpop or Jpop stars. They are like the whole package: makeup and hairdo. Very pleasant to the customer's eyes. Very good strategy for customer retention.

I was in that cafe last night, anyways, and I spotted a handsome barista. =)

Ah... What a wonderful sight. And I recall he is not the only handsome barista. There is a few.

I shall go there again. =)

Wow. Today, a shock of my life.

My job involves me calling up NGOs. So today I called up a NGO who happens to be a partner of my work if they are interested to attend an event. They said they are not interested due to low man power. No problem. Then I said we will be giving a token of appreciation to our community partners. The receiver on the line said "What kind of items are you giving?". It sounded fishy. So... I asked "May I know why do you want to know such info?".

What was the reply?

"Oh, if it's in kind like cash, we will arrange someone to come and collect."

"Oh, the item is not cash. It's a painting done by a deaf artist".

"Oh, then we need you to deliver to our premise."

"But I thought you just mention that you can arrange someone to collect?"

"I didn't say that."

Geez. What an impression!
