Economics English

I've been reading a few novels these recent days, a habit that never failed to entertain me (I mean besides watching movies and drama series of course). Nowadays, I realized these novels provided me a lot of optimism and courage to go through life but not the knowledge about life itself. I tried reading a few educational and even motivational books but that doesn't really excites me as novels did.

Somebody once said to me 'I tau you suka membaca tapi tak guna kalau asyik baca novel cinta and life jer. You should read other educational books that will provide you the benefits in your working field...blablabla..." And the comment continued for almost an hour.

I admit what he said is true. I love reading, but I read only novels and a few biographies. I don't really read books on economics or banking that will definitely help me in my job and somehow, that has influenced me in the way of writing my report to the boss. He will always complain, "You write good English but not economics English." - mind you, he said the same things to my other colleagues too. Okay, what he said was true. I'm not from economics background, and my only source of knowledge in economics right now is from the daily newspapers and a few analysts reports, which for me, uses very simple English. I tried to do the same thing, changing the terms and even shorten the sentences to make it sounds better. But, I'll get the same comment everytime I submitted them to him. He even suggested I watch CNBC and BBC in Astro to improve my way of writing and vocabulary.

I did what I have to do and I tried to improve things and the way I did it, but well, human satisfaction is really hard to fulfill, so like Sidek said, 'you should pray hard to God then'. Well, I guess I should now right?

M.A.L.A.S

Malas...malas...dan malas.

I don't know what happen, but I've been having this kind of attitude since like forever. huhuhu.. Malas nak buat kerja, malas nak fikir, malas nak buat ayat yang bombastic, malas nak bagi komen yang lebih-lebih...blablabla...

Sekarang ni selalu bangun pagi dengan perkataan..."Malasnya nak pegi keje hari ni" dan apabila sampai di office, "Malasnya nak buat kerja hari ni". Bila nak balik plak, "Lambatnya masa berjalan". Astaghfirullah..banyak betul makhluk bertanduk dalam diri aku ni...

I've been motivating myself to be more hardworking or to be more productive or to be more multi-tasking but with the word M.A.L.A.S stamped on my head, this thing would take much more effort I guess. huhuhuhu

I browse wikipedia for the word laziness and it says that laziness is a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so. Feelings of laziness may be a symptom of clinical depression or listlessness. Am I clinically depressed? I don't know! But M.A.L.A.S is one new creature inside which continuously eats my inner-side but leaving my flesh still sticking to the bone and still allow me to be apprently who I am, but lack of desire to do something I should do.
