HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mother's Day is back once again and this time, I'd like to give thanks and honour to all the ladies who have 'mothered' me in one way or another. Nobody can doubt that y'all have done a wonderful job and today is definitely yours to enjoy. But the real award will have to go to the only mother I have in this world (and the hereafter), Puan Hajah Kamsiah binti Haji Abdul Hamid or more well-known as 'Madame Kam' to my close friends. So to all mothers out there and especially, Madame Kam, have a wonderful Mother's Day today. Y'all are much loved! Muah! Muah! Muah!

ENFORCING MY IMPERATIVES : IN A 'GRAMMATICAL' MOOD

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to 'request' someone to do something since its strength is never as potent as 'telling' that someone to get the job done. I don't like to be seen as an autocratic person (bitchy, fussy and uncompromising are more like it) but somebody (not me obviously) has got to do it. I have had enough of unfulfilled requests, incomplete tasks, abandoned jobs, substandard projects et cetera et cetera et cetera and I don't think I want to be diplomatic any longer. I've tried to be cynical and sarcastic but some people just can't grasp the idea of cynicism and sarcasm. To resolve this issue, I will have to resort to implementing imperatives. No more 'can you, could you, would you, will you' and 'please' when it's much more effective to practise my authoritarian skills (I can be very Hitler-like, mind you). So I guess I will have to tell some people to do their jobs :

IMMEDIATELY
RESPONSIBLY
QUICKLY
RIGHT
ONCE

So to those who feel that this entry is written for you or about you, you'd better get off your lazy ass right now!
