Restaurant want to get rid of me

MrUbikeledek — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 10:29:14 +0800

I went to my usual restaurant for lunch yesterday. I always go there for lunch, either with colleagues or alone. The restaurant is close to my office and it was connected to my office via a covered sidewalk. So it's connvenient and I don't sweat as much walking there. But yesterday, I went as usual. Sit at the table and wait for the waiter to take my orders. but the waiters pretend not to see me. There's several people who came after me, but the waiter went to take their orders as soon as they sit down. After like 20 minutes, I shouted at one of the waiters to take my orders. Only then they came to take orders. They say they don't notice me coming in, but I know it's a lie. I know the waiters want to get rid of me. I think they notice that many girls that lunch there all show interest in me. I always caught many of the girls checking me out from the corner of my eye or from reflections. All the waiters are male, so I can understand that they feel jealous at me.

mother a prawn actress

MrUbikeledek — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 21:33:49 +0800

What do you think will happen to a child of a prawn actress? Will they face ridicule by their friends in school? A lot of ex-pornstar change their name after they retired, and most never reveal to their children that they were a pornstar. Even in the most liberal society, an ex-pornstar can create controversy. They and their family always live in fear of discovery and most public institutions usually avoid hiring a person if they know the person have a history in pornographic industry. Many ex-pornstar lost their job due to their past. So before you fap to a pornstar, think of what they and their family will going through for your pleasure.

Public transport should be considerate

MrUbikeledek — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 11:42:00 +0800

I found that in General, most public transport are very inconsiderate when it comes to big size man like me. Their seat are made to fit only thin person. So is the movie theatre. Whenever i want to watch movie, I have to buy 3 tickets so that i will have empty seat to my left and right to fit my bulk. So is when i bought bus ticket. Unfortunately, i can't afford to buy 2 tickets for the flight. So this is something a government should consider. Stop discriminating big people.

Company want to sabotage me

MrUbikeledek — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 11:37:02 +0800

Few weeks from now, there'll be an anniversary celebration in the company. It'll be held in Marina Putrajaya. Got kambing golek and live band and all the staff in the company will congregate together that day, including all the aweks that i only see from afar before. But there's many in the company who don't want me to join in the celebration. They persuaded My boss who ordered me to attend a week long meeting in Shangri-la Tanjung Aru at the same date as the celebration. They all said they feel disappointed that I can't join the celebration. But I know they just lying through their teeth. I know they were the one who arrange for me to be away during that day. I ask my boss to send someone else, but my boss remain adamant. It's he who suppose to go to that meeting. But he send me instead. The admin dept give their blessing for this even though it was an obvious breach of responsibility. They're all conspire to deny my attendance to the celebration.

Women prefer narcissistic man

MrUbikeledek — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:59:51 +0800

QUOTE

A joint Polish and Finnish study has found that women are more attracted to dark, brooding men and that this unconscious preference could be related to reproductive success.

The research focused on women's attraction to narcissistic, Machiavellian and psychopathic men by analyzing their attraction to facial features associated with these personality traits.

The team was interested in three traits in particular, known as the "Dark Triad." These are narcissism, characterized by egotism, pride and a lack of empathy; Machiavellianism, likened to a disregard for morality, manipulation of others and self-interest; and psychopathy, characterized by callousness, remorselessness, impulsiveness and antisocial behavior.

The researchers asked 2,370 adult women to look at photos of two men's faces side by side, with one face having more or less of these three key features than the other. They were then asked to pick which of the faces they found most attractive.

The results showed that most of the participants were attracted to men with strong features associated with psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism, while a smaller minority was not.

The team, led by Dr Minna Lyons, then investigated why women seemed more attracted to men who looked dominant, aggressive and dishonest.

Looking the women's personal lives, they linked a preference for narcissistic men to reproductive success, as women attracted to narcissistic men's faces gave birth to more children.

"We predicted that women's preference for narcissism could be most strongly related to their reproductive success. In line with this, we found that women with preference for high narcissistic men's faces gave birth to more offspring .... Moreover, women with strong preference for Machiavellian male faces reported fewer offspring than their same-aged peers with weak preference," said Dr Lyons.

Preference for psychopathic men's faces was found to be unrelated to women's current number of children.

She got transferred on the spot

MrUbikeledek — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 04:45:56 +0800

Last Tuesday, I went to one of the departments in my office to supervise the installation of a new switches. The head of the department is on leave, but he leave one of the junior officers to deal with me in his place. The officer is a she and She's quite a pretty. When i talk to her about the work, she's smiling and giggling. When I look somewhere else, I noticed through a window reflection that she was checking me up like she saw something she like in me. I also noticed that other people there also noticed her behavior. It's just too damn obvious.

On Saturday, I went on weekend vacation in Cherating. In sunday morning, I walk along the Cherating beach when I suddenly stumbled upon her. I ask her what she doing in Cherating. She said that she was ordered to transfer to Kuantan last Friday. I suspect that she was transferred was because she show interest in me and other people in the company don't like it. It's always like this. Whenever a pretty girls came to our company and she show some interest in me, the people around me will band together to push her away from me by every means possible.

Quota in US education

QUOTE

MICHAEL WANG, a young Californian, came second in his class of 1,002 students; his ACT score was 36, the maximum possible; he sang at Barack Obama’s inauguration; he got third place in a national piano contest; he was in the top 150 of a national maths competition; he was in several national debating-competition finals. But when it came to his university application he faced a serious disappointment for the first time in his glittering career. He was rejected by six of the seven Ivy League colleges to which he applied.

“I saw people less qualified than me get better offers,” says Mr Wang. “At first I was just angry. Then I decided to turn that anger to productive use.” He wrote to the universities concerned. “I asked: what more could I have done to get into your college? Was it based on race, or what was it based on?” He got vague responses—or none. So he complained to the Department of Education. Nothing came of it. “The department said they needed a smoking gun.”

QUOTE

For the moment the court has taken the view that universities may take race into account, but racial quotas are not on. The Ivies deny running a racial quota. But in its comment on the Asian groups’ complaint, Harvard defends the use of race as a criterion in admission—“a class that is diverse on multiple dimensions, including on race, transforms the educational experience of students from every background and prepares our graduates for an increasingly pluralistic world”—and describes its admissions process as “holistic”, meaning it takes into account considerations wider than mere test scores.

QUOTE

Some Asians allege that the Ivy Leagues have put an implicit limit on the number of Asians they will admit. They point to Asians’ soaring academic achievements and to the work of Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Walton Radford of Princeton, who looked at the data on admissions and concluded that Asian-Americans need 140 SAT points out of 1,600 more than whites to get a place at a private university, and that blacks need 310 fewer points. Yet in California, where public universities are allowed to use economic but not racial criteria in admissions, 41% of Berkeley’s enrolments in 2014 were Asian-Americans and at the California Institute of Technology 44% were

Those who want to migrate may want to ponder this first. It's not all as free as it was claimed to be.

Why there still no snap poll

MrUbikeledek — Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:08:25 +0800

Why there's still no snap poll in Selangor. Isn't already clear that the PR have fragmented and no longer represent the majority? Why not call a snap poll and DAP and PKR can finally kicked PAS out of Selangor for good.

Looking for a place to bring someone for dinner. Search the web and I found a place called Coliseum 1921. Specifically their branch in Plaza 33. Have anyone dine there before? How's the food? the atmosphere? the service? Do you consider it worth the price you paid?

Should Dr. Mahathir start new party?

MrUbikeledek — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:57:04 +0800

Dr. Mahathir influence is still pretty strong. Even many Chinese and Indians still adore him. My father, a die hard UMNO supporter, still talk about him a lot and he said often that Mahathir is better than Najib. Do you think he can get support if he start new party?

Pakatan Harapan mulai retak?

MrUbikeledek — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 21:34:41 +0800

QUOTE

Tiga bulan selepas gabungan pembangkang dibentuk semula sebagai Pakatan Harapan, ia dilaporkan sedang menghadapi pertikaian terbuka pertama di Selangor.

Ini berhubung pembahagian kerusi majlis tempatan untuk Parti Amanah Negara (AMANAH) yang telah diperuntukkan hanya lapan kerusi daripada 34 yang dipohonnya.

Walau bagaimanapun, Setiausaha Agung PKR, Rafizi Ramli percaya pertikaian itu tidak akan berkekalan walaupun mengakui perbezaan pendapat secara terbuka tidak memberi cerminan baik kepada gabungan baru itu.

"Jika masih ingat, setiap tahun menjelang pelantikan ahli majlis tempatan, ini sentiasa menjadi isu, ia bukan perkara baru.

"Tetapi pemimpin Pakatan perlu menerima hakikat bahawa kita bergelut dengan masalah kerana perbezaan kita," katanya kepada Malaysiakini.

Rafizi berkata demikian sebagai mengulas kenyataan ketua AMANAH Selangor, Izham Hashim yang melahirkan rasa kecewa dengan bilangan kerusi yang diperuntukkan.

"Mereka perlu berlaku adil kepada kami. Kami mempunyai maruah, pemilihan kami bukan hanya keluar untuk memenuhi kuota," katanya kepada Malay Mail Online.

Pertikaian itu mengimbau kembali kepada perbezaan secara terbuka dalam Pakatan Rakyat ketika pilihan raya kecil Kajang pada 2014 yang berlarutan sehingga krisis menteri besar Selangor.

Sementara itu, Rafizi berkata walaupun beliau sentiasa menyokong AMANAH, namun parti itu tidak boleh meluahkan rungutan mereka secara terbuka.

Opposition an ‘embarrassment’ PKR told

MrUbikeledek — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 21:33:11 +0800

QUOTE

PERTH: PKR central committee members who spoke at a forum in Perth, Australia were taken aback when members of the audience told them some hard truths about how ineffective they thought the Opposition coalition was back in Malaysia.

In a report in The Malaysian Insider, social activist Amran Ariffin was blunt when he told PKR central committee member, Mohd Rashid Hasnon and deputy youth chief Dr Afif Bahardin that the Opposition coalition was a “real embarrassment” and the only true Opposition leader in the country was former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“Umno is at its weakest, and you can’t even govern, you should be embarrassed,” Amran said, asking them whether with the current leaders they had, if there was any decent future for Malaysia.

He added, “With an opposition coalition modelled along racial lines, you are aping Umno and hoping to beat them at their own game. This is a perfect time to have a party that cuts across racial lines and represents all Malaysians.”

Another audience member Murdoch University research fellow Dr Greg Lopez said the Opposition was struggling to keep their pact intact, giving many the impression they were an “unreliable” bunch.

“Why trust somebody who can’t even hold a coalition together,” he asked in reference to the disbanding of Pakatan Rakyat due to friction between DAP and PAS, and the formation of Pakatan Harapan that does not include PAS.

“We know Barisan Nasional is terrible, but give us a reason why we should support you,” Lopez asked bluntly.
