Making a simple thing longer process

 Sketches

Just encounter this not-so-one-of-a-lifetime incident. It happen all the time when I’m queuing to pay my water bill.

Question: Do you own the car or you rent the car?
Answer: I didn’t rent the car.
Question: So you own the car?
Answer: Yes, I own the car.

Simple question, answer with a self-question. That’s how it goes, and it can keep going too. Another tactic should be repeat and ignore the answer, like this:

Question: Do you own the car or you rent the car?
Answer: I didn’t rent the car.
Question: We need to know either you own the car or rent the car.
Answer: Yes, I didn’t rent the car.
Question: See, you have to own a car before you can use Phython fuel pump.
Answer: But I already own the car.
Question: So you already own it? Go to…

Simple isn’t it? That’s how people like to question and answer, and let the simplest matter complicated and ended up with “So many work today”.

Insurance is good. Agents are evil!

Unlike my uncle, who don’t like insurance… No, he hate insurance. “Getting an insurance is like wanting to get ill”, so what is the point of buying an insurance?

Contract

Not really making any sense though, but I too, don’t like much insurance agents, but no disrespect to the insurance policy though. My uncle did get some insurance back then, but when he felt down one day, but can’t get any claim from the insurance, he get angry, and get mad, and started to hate insurance.

Insurance agent scam the shit out of everyone. When it comes to policy, we all don’t like to read, especially those small font 9point sentences. Normally insurance agents don’t tell you everything in the policy, just part of it. The parts that sound too good to be true, you’ll start questioning the specific policy and there goes the rest of the policy.

Seriously, you don’t need that much of insurances. And you definitely don’t need a policy to force you to save, if you get what I mean…

Exam? Competition?

I don’t really like competition, and I hate exam. After all, it is just to tell how good you are. But how good you are doesn’t apply to the real life situation, in other word, one are just looking at the ranking.

Sketch in Paper

I like NBA, not for the competition. Ask me to anything about basketball, I can tell you a lot, what are the fouls move, how those game strategy works and etc etc. But I cannot name you all those NBA teams’ name. Simply because I just like the art of human body, the way they throw the ball, especially slam dunking. Just as I like WWE for those horse riding apparel on those model.

Competition, is what sharp us today, or in other word, the “kiasuness” in us. But do we really need that? I know I don’t. I don’t need to prove how good I am, I prefer to do what I should and what I think it is good for me – Speaking of selfish :P

More online storage, again!

While puffing off my Perdomo cigars outside the balcony, I started thinking about the use of… Free online storage.

Dropbox is the one I used the most, seriously, nothing can compare to Dropbox, even Box.net which is the pioneer, is not as friendly as Dropbox. Funny, how I bear with Dropbox for their dekstop application. I installed the iPad app as well, it is just too easy to run around with Dropbox.

Now, Google introduced their Google Drive!

I remember I signed up for a few more online storage like Box.net… But I can’t really remember the URL for all of them…
