Recession

Time to relax, even though i felt it's not needed. Anyway, good for reflection of my highs before the lows come.

Taking my own sweet time

Ahhh..it's so nice to be able to do things at my own pace. It's makes work so much more enjoyable and productive. What is the point to achieve quantity compromising quality?

The corporations seem to work in such a manner. They believe high production of products increase profits, provided that there is a high demand. Without demand, you can produce anything you want and it will still be not sellable. However, if you focus on quality, the chances of being consume is higher. Quality meaning: real effort taken to produce with a flexible time constraint, employee positive working attitude, no lack of resources for production, and a congenial working, social environment.

I know it's not possible to fufil all the requirements but it's not impossible. This is where the part of management comes to play. It have to be the strategy and vision of the management and implemented fairly and democraticly through two way communication between higher and lower level of the corporation. I believe it would sustain the profitablity in a longer term, just like the delicious Nasi lemak hawker outside Istana which had taken the limelight from my magnificent mansion and this reminds me to get rid of that bloody hawker!!! Idiot.

Braindead

My brain is dead. Corporate management has taken its toll on my poor little brain. The way management funtions and operates varies in differing heights, it all boils down to objectives and agenda of the board. Aren't our goal is to make profits? Yes. However, there are external factors to be taken into account too, like environment, society condition, political stability, etc.

Like i said, my brain is dead. I can't really think. How nice would it be if i make consumers brain dead but enough for them to consume. I just need a good marketing campaign.

Corporate management

It's been a week since i last blog due to the large amount of materials i have to read and understand.

As you know, my papak wanted me to study corporate management. He says the management is the most important function besides finance. If you can't manage your management well, costs will go up and efforts and money will be wasted. And also, the need to control our colleages making sure they aren't going to oust us(management) from our job. In another words, dictate them using a beauracratic system which we can make sure everything runs smoothly, accordingly and orderly. We are the rulers of the empire and have to continue our dynasty.

It sounds all so exciting as i can feel the power slowly transfering to me. Power. An amazing ability to influence people who, unwittingly, give their power to the influencer. The best thing is how a person can receive huge "supports" from many. It makes you wonder whether the people understood why they have given the support to that person. It's so simple yet complex at the same time.

My papak is making sure that i will be the one receiving the supports in no time. He wants me to be a great ruler. One who will set a good example for the world to learn and follow.

Damn. I feel my vocabs are limited. Need to learn more words from today.

@#@^%@#$@^#%

Damn. My papak wants me to study corporate management and the course is starting tomorrow!!! Of all days, it starts tomorrow. Why can't it be later? WHY? I was planning a visit to the mama shop tomorrow morning, when everyone is still in their morning blues. This is so frustrating. And now, i don't know when can i visit the mama shop. @#@$^&%#@^%

Visit to mama shop

Today, which i meant yesterday due to that 54 minutes past midnight, I went to the mama shop. When i first heard of it, i was thinking what the hell does the shop sells? A shop that sells mama or mama selling shops or mama shops? So in order to answer my question, i have to visit the shop to find the answer. And there i go, stealthly, sneak to the shop without the knowledge of my bodyguards. And by the way, they are pests, you know. I don't need bodyguards. I am not a criminal or in a dangerous position as i don't have enemies! My papak is paraniod. He just worry way too much. I wish he learns how to take things easy and trust his beloved Utama. I am an adult already. Not a small boy, you know.

Anyway, once out from the pests, i took out my shitty map of Singapura and try to locate the districts of....erm....i don't know which district a mama shop opens in!? sigh. So, i suppose, i have to start from zero. Not a single clue of mama shop.

I look at the morning sun and decided to head west. There i go, i walk and walk. It was a very pleasant walk through the orchid farms. In fact, it's beautiful. The greenery, flowers blossoming, huge trees. I like it.

Then, suddenly, I saw from a far a shop name 'MAMA SHOP'. "Yes!" i exclaimed, "i finally found one. Luck is on my side today". I quicken my footsteps, twisting my hips sideways vigorously to enhance the movements. Within five minutes, i covered the distance of a mile, the distance from my discovery to the shop. That's fast right? I reckon so. I might be a prince but that doesn't mean im a pampered one.

Out of nowhere, My bodyguards appear and surrounded me. My adviser squeezed his fat ass through them and advices me that my papa would not be please for my behaviour and would lead to serious consequences for everyone.

Damn...I thought today i would be able to enjoy the day by myself. And now, their lifes are under my actions, I oblige and followed them back to Istana. This is so so so so so so so so irritating. I was right in front of the shop and i couldn't even step inside to see what it's like. I feel like killing somebody now!!!

Rooms for improvement

A friend of mine said my blog lack the depth, which i kinda agree. My command of english is not to a level of mastery, and still learning to understand this bastard language. By the way, English language is not a pure language. It is formed through other languages like germanic, french or anglo-saxon - along that line. It is, itself, abstract and words can be interpreted differently, if you didn't get the crux of the sentences. I even heard dyslexic have problem understanding the language. But i must admit that my knowledge is not wide enough to substantiate this claim. However, My friends supported it as they, themselves, agreed. One of them is a english major.

I am Utama, the Prince from Majapahit Empire. I speak javanese. Sadly, javanese is not a language to be written in this virtual world.

Just like my palace, big and roomy, there are definitely place for improvement. Learning never stops.

April fool!!!

Happy April's fool day!!! Hahaha.

Blog is quite amazing. It has this function where i can change the time & date even when today is not first of April. I feel so powerful. I can change time or date whenever i want. How nice. I really wish i can do that in real life so mistakes are correctable. Things would be perfect, in my dreams i suppose. Haha. Bloody dreamer...

Today, was the day i landed on Singapura. Similary, as always, I was greeted by a grand reception of Chinese lion dance accompanied by Malay dikibarat and welcome in a customary Indian manner served with Peranakan's delicacies. It was such an eclectic cultural combination that one could not be more please with the creativity of singapureans. Actually, i like to call them Temasekians. Sounds better, isn't it? Singapura inhabited by Temasekians. Nice, i like.

As usual, after the welcoming by the hospitable Temasekians, i headed down to the Istana. It's right in the middle of Orchard road. It's a boring place. The whole stretch is mostly filled by orchid farms. I don't want to see orchid. I want to see the liveliness of the island, the main activities beside work. So i asked Farquhar, sounds like ah-qua, where are the fun places. He told me none. He said singapura is a place to work and live, not to play. I was shocked by his mercenary attitude. I simply don't understand why papak let him manage this island. Look at what he have turn it into, an island with no life. So i suppose the creativity of Temasekians are fake, the eclectic mix must have been stolen from someone. I need to inform papak of the situation.

The Majapahit emprire is not only a conqueror, it has humanity at heart. The lives of the civilians are the main focus as we have responsibilities towards them. They are the primary group that form this empire. Without them, there will be no empire. Peace and strength to protect and provide are what makes the Majapahit empire lasting. Claimer: This paragraph is solely base on my thoughts and no relation with the empire itself.

Okay. Time for dreaming. Need to digest the informations i'm receiving.

Good afternoon.
