When I was a kid, I love to associate the front side of a car ....to a look of a face. That's exactly what happened today during my lunch with the BOE's (Board of Engineers).
Me : "Dude, check out that Nissan X-trail.."
Wilson : "What about it ?"
Me : "Piece of junk"
Wilson : "Couldn't agree more.."
Me : "It's front view reminded me the face of a crab. A big, hairy, fucking crab."
Wilson : "Hahah .. yeah, it looks like a crab alright. Damn, they're using seafood as an inspiration to design automobiles nowadays..."
Words can't describe it. Just take a look at Nissan X-Trail, and it will automatically make your brain think of crabs ... or some large crustacean critter beneath the ocean that feeds of rotten carcasses.
More examples :
Proton Wira would remind me the face of a cat.
BMW 5 series, a nasty face of a whale shark
Volvo S80 (dubbed as the Chinese casket with 4 wheels) reminds me of some old dude with a big nose
Honda City the flowerhorn fish car (with a matching tail and shape, goddamn).
Proton Juara looked like some freaked out stick insect.
I always associate Hyundai Sonata with Rob Steward's face, or that Wormtongue guy in Lord of The Rings.
Perodua Kancil looked like a petite underaged female student wearing a big thick glass.
Hyundai Elantra had the look of some fat teenage geek with no life.
Toyota Vios .... a face of a small annoying mongrel (Odie)
Toyota Altis .... some faggot with a baby face
Know what Gen2 reminds me of ? A mime. You know what's a mime ? A mime's a freaking clown that mimics everything you do and annoys the shit out of you.
Nissan 130Y - some Chinese professor with thick collagen filled lips.

Datsun 120Y
I am driving my father's old car - Datsun 120Y. Was doing some research and decided to publish it since I might be doing some mods in the future.
B310 series
The final rear-wheel-drive Sunny from 1977 to 1981 featured numerous variants, including a fastback station wagon as well as more squared-off, utilitarian ones with three and five doors, a coupé, and two- and four-door sedans. These models appeared with Datsun 120Y and 140Y badges in some markets, though Sunny was increasingly used for export, too. The B310 was known for its high equipment levels and build quality at the time. Mechanically, it used the same engines and transmissions as the B210, except that the rear suspension was updated - the live axle was now suspended using a coil spring/Panhard Rod configuration in place of the B210's archaic leaf springs. In 1980, the B310 was given a mild facelift, with a smoothed off front end and grille with square headlamps, plus the dashboard was redesigned.
Anyway the car below is not my car, I just grab from Internet
Pimp My Ride?
Most probably I need it, from a house saloon car to a race car.
What I need is a more comfortable journey, new suspension, wheels, breaking system and better interior. Haha...

Performance Management Dialogue
Dialogue
Maybe I am not competitive enough, if I were to include in comparison, I don’t think my score will be high or good.
Competition is good in working environment provided it is healthy competition. So for the future, I would try to take up more challenge as I try to improve and be more competitive in more area. Subsequently I hope I am able to learn more and contribute to the team better.
However working here is good, gone are the days of college’s spoon fed days. I can learn more to be independence and less dependants on others to get the work done. Self learning seems to be the best way for me as I don’t need to depend on others to get the work done, moreover other colleague get to get their done as well.
For my work performance, I feel ashamed. I have been in APCO for around 4 months, yet I haven’t found any bug. I was helping out in TETRA last week and I manage to find a severity B bug. 2 day versus 4 months, I should be finding more bugs in APCO. This is something that I need to work on. I will try to do more testing and contribute more. Hopefully I can discover more bug for APCO.
The one thing that would be nice if everyone is more considerate, I know this is very subjective and not possible. But imagine this, if more people are more considerate for equipment swapping, they would take care of their equipment, return it to cabinet when they are not using it, it would be fewer headaches for the equipment team and it would be easier to get equipment instead of waiting or asking around to get the equipment they want. After the reform in equipment team yesterday, I hope things will be to be better and easier.
Feedback: Fight back against the office suck-up
Some feedback I get:
What do you care?
1) Ignore this person, he's not your problem.
2) Mind your own business. It's not your job to control or monitor or complain about the behavior of your co-worker. That's your boss's job. Let him handle it.
3) Get back to work. You're getting paid to do the job you were hired to do, not keep track of your co-workers.
4) Grow up.
==============================================
In the real world this does not happen. Everyone knows that you have people in offices who do not have the skills to keep their jobs but they do keep them, how they do it is by brown nosing and sucking up. In this process they make up stories about people who just want to work and get paid which in turn ruins their reputation.
==============================================
On Power
I used to think like you. I'm a VP now and flattery doesn't get people anywhere with me. The reason is confidence.
Suck-ups are looking for power. Ther problem is, they have no skills with which to acquire that power naturally, so they use manipulation and disguise to obtain it. It is better to fight these people quietly before they have the opportunity to negatively impact your workplace.
Early on in my career, I suppose I was 25, I thought suck-ups were annoying little people. The most harm I saw them doing was to their own reputation. One day, I was told that the department was restructiong and I was being given my 2 weeks notice. I couldn't understand it. I was extremely hard-working, delivered on all my objectives and was generally well-liked.
A bunch of people in the office arranged for a piss-up on my last day. My entire department except the VP was there. During the course of the evening, 4 people confided in me at separate times. The suck-up had bent the VP's ear enough, so when the VP couldn't find a better position for him, he made one, where I sat. At first I was in disbelief, so I started asking a few casual questions. Turns out almost everyone knew.
Suck-up was there. After I was confident that this was true, suck-up approached me, offering his support. I didn't confront him about it. I simply said that I wished I knew why? Paying close attention to his face, the slightest grin crossed it, his pupils dilated, he became flushed and said these things happen. I knew it was him, and I vowed to figure out these people so it would never happen again.
I made friends with him.
A year after getting fired, I ran into the VP. I was much more confident, being paid more and was in a more senior positon to the one I'd been fired from. I courted his attentions for months and finally won his confidence. We actually became good friends. In doing so, he told me the truth about suck-up. Praised me for how well I had done the job and remarked about his incompetence.
Five years went by, and I still kept in touch with suck-up. He was still in the role I had vacated, I was now a Manager for another, more notable company. One day, we needed to hire the exact position I had before, and suck-up after me fulfilled.
On approval from my friend, the VP, I hired suck-up on purpose, luring him with what looked like more money and an extra week vacation. He came on and was sucking-up to me, the directors and the VP within weeks. One month after he started, I discovered the inevitable level of incompetence he was famous for in his last role, I knew he would as I had kept in touch with others as well.
I brought him into my office and told him to sit down. He started commenting on how nice my suit was, blah blah blah, suck suck suck.
I looked at him blandly and asked him some questions about how he was going to improve his performance, yadda, yadda, yadda. He provided some vague comments about attention to detail and the like.
Then I looked at him straight and said, "You'd thought you could get away with what you did five years ago, didn't you?"
His face sank, and he turned bright red. "I don't know what you mean!" (insert sucking sound here)
"Yes you do. Tell you what. I'm going to let you off easy, you're fired and we're even. Clean out your desk." I continued, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I spoke with our old VP yesterday, and they were glad to get rid of you. They hired someone that actually has skills."
The point of the story is not to illustrate how sweet my revenge was, but to show you how the nature of relationships change only if you can make them change.
Suck-ups will eventually get found, but surreptitiously forcing the hand doesn't hurt anyone but the, and could potentially save your job.
I take a proactive approach to suck-ups now. I weed them out of the grass and crush them before they get the opportunity to hurt anyone with real ambition.
The essence of power is to eliminate those around you who can challenge that power. A suck up does that by focussing your bosses attention on what the suck-up wants, rather than the reality. once that attention is off of you, it is harder to get it back.
This being said, reputation is everything. The only people who know what I did, are myself, the VP and the victim. The VP won't talk because I helped him out by not having to pay this guy his severance. The victim won't talk because he was too humiliated. I understand through my contacts that he hasn't been able to find anything better. This pleases me considering my rank.
Last year, the VP became CEO of another company. One of the first things he did was hire me. He said that anyone who showed the amount of patience and perseverance I did in exacting my revenge needed to be with him as his aide-de-campe.
It's a great partnership now and everyone is happy.
===================================================
Grow up... EXACTLY
Keep in mind you are not being paid to create a level playing field for you and your co-workers. If your boss is not able to see through the smoke screen maybe you should consider working somewhere else where these people are weeded out at the first layoff.
=================================================
It's a 2-way Street
Have you ever considered the boss LIKES being sucked up to? If he was smart enough to see it for what it is and didn't like it, he'd put a stop to it. Don't ever put yourself between the boss and the suckup or you might get squashed. As someone else has already advised, just do your job and make your own achievements.
==================================================
BAD advice!
This strategy:
"1) Ignore this person, he's not your problem.
2) Mind your own business. It's not your job to control or monitor or complain about the behavior of your co-worker. That's your boss's job. Let him handle it.
3) Get back to work. You're getting paid to do the job you were hired to do, not keep track of your co-workers."
DOES NOT WORK!
I know. I tried it. I eventually ended up with a boss who would come up with these "great ideas" only to come up with another a week or two later... none of them were easy to implement and none of them worked. He's a primary reason I quit. Funny thing was, if you caught him off guard, he'd say things like, "I'm only having a weekly meeting because I was told to have a weekly meeting."
================================================
Not well thought out
Don't assume your boss can see through it. Some bosses have low self-esteem. They want to feel superior and if this guy's helping them feel that way, they'll soak it up.
Find a way to make their suck-ups obvious, and then the axe will fall.
Bigger point, don't ignore it. It will do you mroe harm in the end.
==================================================
Ignoring the problem...
...DOESN'T make it go away. I have one of these to deal with, and the biggest problem is that the individual seeks to take on MY job responsibilities by placing themself in a position of criticality where they are in charge and I have to seek their approval to get things done. The biggest problem is that these people want the authority without the responsibility that comes with decision-making.
Worst part is that my boss knows what is going on and yet refuses to do anything about it.

Every office has at least one: That blatant suck-up using obvious tactics to try and get noticed and curry favor with the boss. What's worse, these jerks usually get away with it. A few of the TR staff are trying to come up with top ten most blatant (and, unfortunately, effective) tactics for schmoozing your way up the corporate ladder. We've got eight so far, including the classic "laugh at the boss's jokes" and "always arrive before/leave after the boss." Can anybody add to the list, preferably with real-world examples and effective counterattacks?
Here's what we've got so far. Feel free to add, subtract, mock, critique, or ignore this list when adding your own entry.
1. Nod your head continuously any time your boss is addressing your team. This conveys that you agree with everything he says and that you only wish you could have articulated it as brilliantly as he is doing. If his ego is insatiable, his eyes will constantly gravitate in your direction for affirmation. In other words, embrace your inner bobblehead.
2. Disagree with everything the boss says. Go out of your way to contradict her every statement. This shows that you're an independent thinker and way smarter than the rest of the peons you've been thrown in with.
3. Use the same buzzwords as the boss. Make sure what you say is an actionable, user-centric, directionally correct turnkey solution with touchpoints. As you can see, it doesn't even have to make sense if you say it fast enough. For extra points, speak entirely in acronyms.
4. Ask questions during company meetings that have no purpose other than to showcase your tremendous intellect. If the CIO is talking about reorganizing the help desk, don't be afraid to raise your hand and ask what effect the current business strategy will have on the next quarter's profit margin. For an added bonus, ask this question at the end of a meeting. (See next point.)
5. Don't make any major presentations during the course of a regular meeting. Wait until the meeting organizer is wrapping up and makes the perfunctory "does anyone have anything else?" request. Then you launch into your spiel, assuring that everyone has to pay attention to what you say. Sure, they may hate you for making the meeting run long, but you'll have made an impression.
6. Laugh hard at your boss's jokes. The higher placed the boss, the greater your laughter should be. If it's the CIO, feign uncontrollable mirth by intermittently wiping tears from your eyes.
7. Be at work 23 hours per day. Be there when your boss gets in and when she leaves. Even if your workload only constitutes about 3 1/2 hours, stretch it out with coffee breaks, four-hour lunches, non-work-related web browsing, and general co-worker chit chat. After all, productivity is measured by your physical presence not actual turnaround.
8. Pay close attention to whatever phone/PDA/gadget the boss uses. Do a great deal of research on it, then casually let the boss know that you're looking for a new phone/PDA/gadget with particular features--namely the exact ones that his model is known for. The boss will instantly recommend his own gadget, so that when you buy it yourself, he thinks you took his advice, rather than merely copied his purchase.

The Reason
The reason I don’t want to work here as permanent
1. Too many back stabbing
Even working as a contractor, I saw contractor stabbing each other behind each others. Imagine working with them in the future, all backstabbing and no work productivity. Now only I realize, the toes I step on today maybe attached to the ass I will have to kiss tomorrow.
Knifing friends in the back is not my cup of tea.
2. Pretentious people
Doing a good job here is like wetting your pants in a dark suit. You get a warm feeling but no one else notices.
I don’t pretend to work. I don’t work to show off to others. I don’t work in front of other people. I don’t need to tell the world when I complete my task. I don’t brag. Therefore I am not suitable to work here.
3. Working hard and looking really hardworking
It is not that I cannot perform in my work; I find no reason to act in front of others. I know I can adapt to my work, I also know what I can perform here and I know I got nothing to prove to others. I already proved to myself that I can complete my work while still got time to help others. Also, I know I am efficient and dedicated to my work.
4. I don’t complain much
If complain is the only way to get the work done, it seem pointless working here. There is not reason for one to work hard if he or she can just log complain about others. Someone jealous of others, then they start complaining, more jealously will occur.
e.g.
I can work at any place the management arrange for me, there is no need to make a havoc over this, no need to complain about others.

Feeling
Don’t we all want others to understand your feeling?
Don’t we all want others to respect your feeling?
It is not good if others keep on playing with your feeling. In the end, you get hurt.
Do I have the chance to be your friend?
I can’t promise I will be able to make you feel good all the time
But I can try my best and I wont play with your heart and wont mess with ur feeling.
