Got this from my friend, didn't realized all these before...
After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increment, no commendation and that his company is not doing anything about it. So, he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR his observation. The Manager looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down, saying:
My friend, you have not worked here for even a day. The man was surprised to hear this, but the manger went on to explain;
Manager: How many days are there in a year?
Man: 365 days and sometimes 366.
Manager: How many hours are there in a day?
Man: 24 hours.
Manager: How long do you work in a day?
Man: 8am to 4pm; 8 hours a day.
Manager: So, what fraction of the day do you work in hours?
Man: One third.
Manager: That’s nice of you! What is one third of 366 days?
Man: 122 (366 x 1/3)
Manager: Do you work on weekends?
Man: No sir.
Manager: How many weekends are there in a year?
Man: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays = 104 days.
Managers: if you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days are left now?
Man: 18 days.
Manager: Ok, I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Remove 14 days from the 18 days left, how many days do you have remaining?
Man: 4 days.
Manager: Do you work on New Year day?
Man: No sir.
Manager: Do you come to work on workers day?
Man: No sir.
Manager: So how many days are left?
Man: 2 days sir.
Manager: Do you come to work on the National Day?
Man: No sir.
Manager: So how many days are left?
Man: 1 day sir.
Manager: Do you work on Christmas day?
Man: No sir.
Manager: so how many days are left?
Man: None sir.
Manager: So what are you claiming?
Man: I have understood sir. I did not realize that I was stealing company money all these days.
Moral of the story – Never go to your HR for help!!!

Year End - 2007
It has been a while… since I last wrote.. Almost 2 months now… Nearing Christmas now, in a week’s time. This year flown by so fast that now is another year end.
This year hasn’t been a really good year for me for what I recalled. Just recently, my vein was swollen, so bad till I can’t move my neck and right hand, it’s painful even if I don’t move. Following this closely, my eye lid was kinda swollen. Prior to this, in the later part of this year, a little boy kicked my big toe’s nail off my toe, which was so painful. Until now, my nail has not grown back fully, half way there.
Of course, I have many good stuffs along the way too. I have met a really nice and sweet guy, completed my Bachelor of Communication, gotten a great job currently, and completed the climb at Mount Kinabalu. I have been to many places, this year, mostly in Malaysia (Never travel so much to Malaysia before). I have switched to a competitor company of my previous company, it has been a really good experience here, with excellent training, good senior and approachable managers and it is the market leader in this industry. I’m lucky to be able to get in at the right time. After the 2 long years and finally, I have gotten my degree. Never think that I can do this, but I did! So glad that I did. Been with this nice guy for 7 months now, so far things have been great for both of us, even though there are still quarrels, scolding and anger during this time.
Hence, i wouldn't say it's really a bad year, just a not so good year I guess, epecially for the last quarter of the year.
Looking forward to my Gold Coast, here I come…. Another 10 days to go!!! Counting down now… spent too much these 2 months, with all the packages and Christmas presents, I must have spent a bomb. And after the Gold Coast trip, I need to really, tone down my spending a lot… too much now. Maybe my New Year Resolution should be saving $$$, slim down and train for better temper control.
That’s it for now folks.
