a note of apology to A+W Subang Jaya cleaning staff:i'm sorry ... the kittens seemed famish.
a conversation i had yesterday evening...
friend:
what are you reading?
wegra:
freakonomics, the new f-word
friend:
huh?
wegra:
it's by this young economist; my age, harvard grad, with phd from mit. he's saying the conventional wisdom is often wrong because 'experts' bend the facts. and that economics is with brilliant tools for getting to answers but lack interesting questions. so he's throwing questions. example: which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? obviously a swimming pool. nothing new but the delivery is quite good.
*a short void*
friend:
you have to stop reading these books. if you have to read, read bimbo books. you'll just scare 'them' all away.
really?!? that's the real patriarchy scenario here?!? or is it just a pejorative presumption?!?
but... but... tho i read them books, i donch understand them... what's conventional wisdom anyway?!? :op
have a good may day; international workers day, peeps!
p.s. paging baby anisism, kindly e-mail your mobile no to shamsuddinms@gmail.com so that i can drag you to all our meet. thank you.

bestkan janji joni ... cute!
ti.e.na + bertique equally geeky ... wegra ni cewek keren banget sih, gak sesuai tuk buku dan artikel di koran kaek gituan ... :op
betik!!! u got the blue ocean strategy book? nak pinjam!! then kalu best nak trus wat reta persendirian!!
cikpijoh
i laik yewww, you are geeky laik me
bertique
we ship no same ... you read business strategy books ... i'm intrigue by human behaviour + themes surrounding it
pijah,
ada. heheh nak pinjam? boley sesgt. nnt la i buat summary kat my blog - senang sket kan nak digest. err pinjam buleh, buat reta tok leh tau :P
tiena,
ya tiena sgt pandai menyebut baka kambing saya. sebut betul-betul .. baaa--orrr .. hahaha apada bau.
weggy,
i see. if that the case, than u must read the art of seduction by robert greene. tell me what's you take on that book when you are done ;).
bertique
HAHAHAHAHA!
gila nak baca buku robert greene ... i donch laik him, his methods are very the manipulative ... i'm familiar with the 48 laws of power ... i noticed you bought the 33 strategies of war ... and i donch need self-help book on how to seduce, i donch believe in sexual politics ... i believe in bergerak2 thru merits ... :op
wahahah .. 48 laws of power tuh best gak kan? hehe.
i thought u like human behaviour books. and my dear, it's not abt being manupulative la .. again it's how u take it la ..
for me, i just love it because - it's a good information to know. have u ever wondering why certain people are so different when they talk to female/male? why certain people acting a bit wierd? why some people need attention more than anything else.
the name is a bit misleading, i know but trust me - it's far from it. :) u think muka cam i nih kalau seduce still leh naik pangkat cepat ka??
i seduce kambing suh beranak byk leh la .. hahah
err something wrong with my words up there, just to clear the air - i seduce kambing utk dia buat sex dan bunting, err bukan i buntingkan kambing. for the record.
bertique
kemon laa
greene's language is more of a how-to rather than describing, siap bagi 'case studies' lagi. to me the art of seduction is a compilation of approaches to sexual politics. and dengan segala straight face, he's advocating manipulation, deception and expliotation of weaknesses towards a selfish end.
if you haven't experienced sexual politics in real life and would like to know how it's done, by all means read the art of seduction. lagi pun better the devil you know, than the one you don't.
i know, i went very the exhausted after reading the 48 laws of power
hahah .. there's some true in your saying. i agree on the author part. but, i think we have to live with different POV :D.
exhausted? hahah .. but greene ni mmg words-intensive. sampai kat tepi2 buku pun dia nak tulis cerita, at first, i cam terconfused nak baca yg mana dulu. hehehe
bertique
exhausted by what greene is advocating rather, as if there isn't enough evil in this world.
...point of informationnn...!!
ahaksss..:P
