CNN grieves that guilty verdict ruined 'promising' lives of Steubenville rapists

CNN: So very sad that two promising young men were convicted of rape. Both very promising. Both very good football players.

So... it's a damn tragedy if you're talented and you had to be jailed for a crime you did?

Twined

I placed you as my center
I know I'm in for heartbreaks
This room represents you
I'll be waiting for you

Thoughts on Management patterns

subject: Thoughts on Management patterns

Loyalty
======
Loyalty cuts both ways.  An organisation should reward a loyal staff.  If an organisation does terminations mercilessly, then staff morale will be badly affected, which in turn makes it hard to build loyalty.

Get it done today
=============
A lack of respect for an employee's personal time.  Bosses often do so to hand in their own deliverables timely.  Yet, shouldn't there be a consensus on when the work can be completed?

Deliver it as you promised
====================
Many managers insist that the promised delivery date is to be fulfilled. Are managers glorified time keepers?  Or should they, with their experience help to spot potential problems before they happen?

I don't think it needs 5 days
=====================
This either produce a slipshod work in the end, or force the employee to put in serious overtime.  Like, "Get it done today", the manager would appear uncaring.

Year 2012 in summary

An escape from hell.  A stay in limbo.

Two long awaited unions.  A return to water.

A rude experience.  Long overdue task.  

An uphill task.  A penny short.

A sad news.  A sad injustice.

Disturbed...

Knew of several friends who had problems with their marriage, in this year alone.

Sad because they are my friends.

Disturbed cause it makes the national statistics of 25% divorce rate seem so real.

I want to believe that love conquers all.  That the pledge to each other is long and binding.

I wish them all the best.

Back from Malacca trip

It has been 4 years since our first Malacca trip.
Much has changed, sadly, though surprises reward the patient ones.
Photos soon...

无印良品《我找你找了好久》

无印良品《我找你找了好久》; I finally found you after a long search.

This was the song that introduced me to the group during my polytechnic days.
Enjoy.

I have church on Sunday...

Fair enough.  Though whenever plans come up, this comes up as an immovable block of stone.
I question the enthusiasm that you showed for the event, which I had kept you in mind for so many years.
I wonder.  Does missing a session makes one a lesser person?  If so, does going to church on another day lessen the experience?
Your public display of piousness is admirable.  I question your clarity.

Poisoning the well

Poisoning the well (or attempting to poison the well) is a rhetorical device where adverse information about a target is pre-emptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing everything that the target person is about to say.
