Jika dalam bahasa Melayu terdapat dalam kitab Injil atau syarahan berkenaan “Allah sebagai Bapak, Allah sebagai Anak dan Roh yang Suci”, maka tentulah ini akan ditentang oleh orang Islam. Dalam Islam Allah tidak ada bapak, tidak ada anak. Ia tidak dilahirkan dan Ia tidak melahirkan sesiapa. Allah hanya satu. Ia tidak boleh disekutu dengan sesiapa. — Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/2010/01/kontroversi-kegunaaan-kalimah.html
One glance at this book, one would think that this book is for people who want to do business or top management of a company. I was not convinced since I seldom judge a book by its cover…so I grabbed it and viola…I found another gem of books.
This book actually originated from The Unwritten Laws of Engineering (which has nothing to do with engineering), written for engineers in mind. It has all the interesting topics that occurs on a daily basis and offer lots of advice I personally find useful.
A lot of people joined the work force without knowing what to expect. Many became disappointed or disillusioned due to the wrong impression given to them by their elders and lack of guidance by their superior. Many end up hating their bosses and co-workers for trivial reasons. In a lot of cases, things would not have gotten so bad if they realize what was written in this book.
It may be only 104 pages, but it is just as good as Who Moved My Cheese. A highly recommended read for employees of all fields of profession.

This is going to be a photo only post. I might come back to this post in future and reflect on things but things are pretty hectic for now so I’ll leave them as they are for now.
The majority of these ransom photos were posted at Chicago O’Hare Airport. Some of it don’t even have a watermark. So I guess this is going to be my last post about my trip to Chicago this time around.
Here’s a nice one from Utada’s Heart Station album - Fight The Blues.
My first impression of China town in Chicago was that it’s not a good neighborhood to be in…presumably due to crime as I was told. I kind of sensed that when I was there but I felt safer here than being in Petaling Street in KL. There’s not much to see here although you can get some cheap/ fake/ 3rd rate souvenirs here.
I guess there’s a lot of Hong Kong immigrants here as most of them speak Cantonese. Also people of northen China. Mostly restaurants, Chinese herbs shops and banks along this road.
This some what related article was slashdoted recently and got me thinking…what makes people want to go back to their own country after many years in the US…the land of promises? Perhaps Dr. Shi was right, that the US is losing its edge? But US is still a pretty cool place to live in. People here built planes, rockets, cars in their garage! China still has a long way to go in terms of having a conducive living/ working environment. Like…there’s no way I’m going to live in Shen Zhen with all that pollution. Malaysia? People wouldn’t think twice to leave The only thing people will probably miss is the food.
There’s a few Malaysian restaurants around Chicago called “Penang”. One of them is in China town. I’ve been to the one abit out of town. Food was decent but nothing compared to the real deal in Malaysia.
We were so busy walking that we didn’t notice this museum right in front of us! I only realize it when I looked at the photos.
I was surprised to see Fa Lun Gong supporters promoting their cult out in the cold. Most people ignore them.
The only thing people will probably miss is the food.
