Time to Think... about 'it'

Just reached home and finished my shower… The Sabah trip was end… only one word can tell… TIRED.

This three days trip was finished up very fast, not because we too busy with our work till we cannot feel the time was running, but we spent too many hours on the road, until we only have little time to do our work.

First day, we reached Tawau, Sabah, around 10.30am, and then we just drop by some local restaurant to take our late breakfast, and straight away go for our first mission. This day we spent three hours on the plane, and 6-7 hours on the car, oh forget to add in the one hour in the limo, from KL to LCCT.

The time we spent on the transport equal to the working hour in the office, or maybe more than that. This trip we got not much thing to do, but still tired, with the long journey and the bad condition of the road. First day we only spent less than 3 hours to settle some work with the Felda people, the working hours is too short. We got no choice, and we cannot stay there for too long, still a long journey to go, we need to reach another place, Lahad Datu, before sunset. Nighttime cannot drive because cannot see how bad the road is and will take longer time to reach.

From Tawau town area to Lahad Datu, takes about 2-3 hours, actually only 186km, but still take that long, so just imagine how bad the road is and why we cannot drive more than 120km/h, sometimes just less than 60km/h, in some area.

First night we stay in this 2 stars hotel, only 2 stars, and we get this family suit, with two rooms. Too tired for the day, so before 10.30pm everyone went to bed de…

The next day we need to spend another one hour plus to reach this Felda office. Around 3pm, we start our journey all the way back to Tawau again, another 4hours plus on the road. When we reached Tawau, none of us wish to move anymore, just rest for a while in hotel room, then only go for our dinner.

My LIFE

Actually this trip not only make me feel tired, but give me sometimes for meditation too. The whole trip I spent a lot of time to think… this time not think about my career, not about my photography… BUT MY LIFE, what I want in the future…

Listen to some songs, let the brain to do some arrangement for the messy data in it, then start to think… Many question to ask and try to find out the answer in me.

I start from “Who do I wish to have in my life, as my soul mate…?”…

Actually is asking who I wish to be my BF. LOL… for sure I don’t wish to be always single (who wish to?), so now is the time for me to think carefully what guy I really wish to stay in my life. My age no longer in the category of “Young” de (I’m not saying that I’m ‘old’), so I need to make up my mind, and look for the right target. Don’t wish to spend time in some relationship that “maybe work… or may not”.

Just wish to meet someone that really can share something deep inside me. Not that easy, since after few relationships, I think I’m starting to look for someone ‘too perfect’ or Mr. Perfect. If I really look for Mr. P then for sure I’ll be single for the whole life de. Always not that easy to get someone that you wish.

I did think about what kind of life that I’ll have if I still stay in single. Fully concentrate on my career? Enjoy the time by visiting some other places? Maybe from one place to another? Working oversea? Be a backpacker for my photography trip? Do all these until I meet someone that can let me settle down…

About friends… and Family

I did think about one day how I gonna come out to my friends and family… need to think about this de, since mum already start to ask de… (about when I want to get a girlfriend)

(This will continue by tomorrow… tonight too tired for me to keep on write this, too TIRED… to be continue…)

WHY...

4.34AM Wake up by the call from HO

4.50AM Still waiting for the LIMO to arrive…

I’m SO sleepy… and I HATE early flight… I always ask why must choose this hour if there still got another flight… now I really hate the one who bought the ticket.

See my face in the mirror, looks so blur, so sleepy and not willing to wake up… but still have to…

Now I blame the airlines de… Why set the time be so early… *Yawn…

The Night Before

I’m just finished pack some stuff for the next three days. I just wish everything settle as soon as possible. Today only I know that this trip not only just go there to explain for the customer about the spectacle they order, but also need to repeat the order for some ‘mistake’.

I’m not really sure what happened, but the only thing I know is that some of the order was missing and customer complaint that they didn’t receive the goods. I just wish to know what happened. Before we go, we already double confirm only we deliver to Sabah, but now ended up with this problem.

Tomorrow will be early flight, 5 something need to go to airport, but till this hour I still cannot sleep, didn’t feel sleepy at all. I’m not really what they planned but I know that we cannot rest right after we arrive. As what I know we need to settle the Felda in Tawau, right after we arrive there.

And the time of flight back to KL, they bought the ticket back to KL is in the evening time, so means when we reach KL will be late night, the next day I still need to work, this really a ‘good planning’ for me. Not thing to do, but just follow, this trip I didn’t plan to bring any laptop with me, and didn’t ready to watch any movie in my ipod de, just know that it will be a tired trip, so when really free, then wish to get more rest then.

Try to take some rest de…

Dreaming

Not thing much to talk about what happened today, everything just boring, tried to finish most of the work on hand and make sure the staffs take care the branch when I’m not around. Just worry everything will mess up when I’m not around. I hate to settle the customer complaint.

When I finished my work, feel a bit free, then my mind starting to play something about the movie, M-O-H. Ya, you all may say it just a movie, a very common romantic movie, but this kind of movie works in me, especially now…

Getting bore with my single life?

MAYBE because my life just likes missing some ‘moisture’, too dry, gonna die de…

Actually human always like that, maybe not all, but at least me. Never appreciate something that you have, but looking for something that always just a dream. People likes dream, and I love dream. Just because you can dream for anything that you want, dream what you wish to dream.

Movie just like a dream, something that people dream for, but cannot happen in life, then put it into film. I think I cannot watch too many movie de, and then end up will wish my love story follow what inside the movie. :)

*Dream… Dream… Dream…

Still waiting someone to appear in my life, and agree to bring me into his life. Suddenly remember a very bad comment from a friend: I cannot imagine that you stay in single, how can it happen on you… LOL means always have someone around me? Maybe what he means is I got many friends? But friends only can make me I’m not alone, but I’m still carry the title, Single.

My mind comes out too many funny things de… cannot concentrate on writing de…

Again

Last night received a call from Jimmy, once again he called to help him settle something about Felda. This time he wants me to go to Sabah again and settle the complaint from the customer. This coming Saturday will take a morning flight to Sabah, and will come back to KL on Monday afternoon.

The reason he wants me to go there beside of settle the problem, he wants me to make sure all the paperwork done before hand it back to HQ. This not the first time he wants me to do so, remember last trip to Jengka, I spent the whole night just to ready what he wants, and hand it to him on time. Sometimes just too bad to let people know the skill you have…

This makes me not staying at branch for more than two days in a week. Still many things to do in branch, but I got no choice, must do this first, since it’s more urgent than others. Now I wish that everything will be fine, and hope that can settle the problem.

I’m sure that this will not be the last project to settle for, because I heard from Jimmy that he will gets some new project from Yayasan Felda, there will be few big project to do. I’m not involve in the small project, because some other people will handle that. (no paperwork needed for the small project)

=====================================

Talk about the movie – M-O-H (Made of Honour). I love this movie, this afternoon watch it with SK, cannot join others group to watch it at Pavilion, so watch it on that same day, same movie, but different place and time.

I love the part when Tom talks with Hannah, after the kiss in the pub, that moment only he tries to tell what is inside him, but too bad he cannot get the trust from Hannah. In real life, a bit hard for me to tell the truth when I facing with someone I loved, just like Tom.

The story line always can be so romantic when it in the movie, just wish that it could be happen in part of my love story. :P *Day Dreaming…

Oh ya, talk about the service at this Wisma Rampai. This morning fetch Jr. to do his passport, then we never expect that the service is damn good, not saying that the service in that department is good but the service for the people who take photo and fill-in the form.

We make two three round at that building to get parking, and one of the lady who holding the advertisement of ready the passport size photo in 3mins direct us to get parking. I tell Jr. must let this lady to do some business then, in less than 10mins, we finished up everything, ready the documents, the forms and the photos.

In one hour, Jr. get his new passport, then we go… wish that the day can get more sales with her good service skill…

Why so Bad Luck

I thought that I had settle most of the problem of the branch and make things back to the proper way, but another very important issue has pop-up this afternoon. And this really makes me mad.

This afternoon suddenly the management of the complex appears in my branch and tells me to make sure the branch is in good condition, because the tenancy will end up soon, if they find out we cannot match what they need us to, then they will not let us to stay in this complex.

After that I receive a call from HQ, that tell me the same thing again, and they want me to make sure that everything is good. In this case I only can say ‘Yes”, just to obey, no rights to talk.

Why the tenancy must mature after I take over??? Why must let me meet with all these hard time? Why me… Why I’m so bad luck to face with all these? Why… Why… Why… things come to me one by one, no time to rest, no…

I’m not worry about the things that I can handle, but the one I cannot control, they will expect me to get that done too… I’m not superman, what you expect is over my limit.

Say Goodbye

This morning attend a very stupid product launching at Eastin Hotel, make us more disappointed with the supplier and refuse to sell the product. Why I said they stupid, because they just ask a not-so-professional person to talk to us, make our Q&A come out with nonsense answer.

When we ask them: Why the product must made it in this level of water content?

Answer: The production team wanna cut the cost for the product, so they just set the water content at this high, so that use lesser material.

(LOL… WTH… If customer heard this answer, then I’m sure they won’t ever pay this amount of money to get it, they can pay the same amount of money to get some better quality lens, in the same function.)

Question: Less material, means the lens cannot last for too long? And the quality not as good as the lens provide by your competitor?

Answer: Emmm… The material… make it this amount… just to cut down the cost, and make the lens cannot last that long, because this lens is for daily use only. If the lenses can last longer then customer may use it for more than one day…

(Stupid… another supplier, or their competitor, made the lens for daily use, in better quality but they never worry consumer may use it for more than one day. Just to make sure the quality of the lenses is good for the user.)

This only part of the funny answer in the talk. This the first time CV launching something that not do it to meet customer needs but just to fulfill their company marketing scheme. After the talk, we, among the colleague from same company made a conclusion that we will keep on selling the lens from another brand and just keep this lens until customer ask, but won’t hard sell it, the profit margin some more lower than other product.

Today taking day off not just because of the launching, but the main planning is to farewell for a friend that will transfer to the branch in Malacca. She also facing the hard time like me, that she need to move all the way from KL to Malacca, just to take over the branch that now no one in-charge, at least more than 2months. What happened to the previous manager? Common for our company that the staff resigns by without handover in proper way, all because company threat them too bad, and they never inform management to arrange someone to take over the branch before they leave. Even HR knows that someone will leave soon, but doesn’t mean they will inform operating manager to arrange the new person in charge.

My friend will go there to take over the branch by no one will explain anything, if something missing then don’t know who will pay for it. What we more concern will be not that safe for a girl to transfer to some places alone and stay alone.

We ask why she never reject this offer (may not call this as an offer), she said she tried, but the CEO reject her with a reason: I pay for your school fees before this, so now the time you have to listen what I order you.

They didn’t ready any hostel for her and didn’t give her any allowance to pay for the rental. For me, at least my room and the installation of the room all pay by the company, approved by my area manager. Now I felt that I’m much luckier than her, at least I still remain in Klang Valley, but she’s not.

The only excuse to make us feel better in this circumstance will be we only need to do it for another 6 months, and then we will leave this company together. Or just wait until the CEO really want to terminate us before our contract end, we may leave early than that. The CEO reminds us that he will terminate anyone that cannot reach the target in the particular period.

Not Belongs To

Right after I took my shower, after the party in MarketPlace. 3.10am, 22^nd of June, with the hair still wet, and some alcohol still inside my stomach, I’m writing this…

Everyone may called this as a “Party”, and gather together with a happy heart, but not me. Tonight I wish to I’m drunk and just sleep before I get my shower, but now…

Told someone that I may not attend if not because of someone… I’m giving myself too many reason to cheer up and just enjoy myself in it. BUT still, I’m not happy. Asking myself, am I not belongs to this kind of party, or clubbing??? Myself answer, maybe YES, because not use to clubbing so how I gonna enjoy it… Another inside me answered that, NO, you not, just because something in your mind so make you not enjoy the party. Remember you always feel happy to share the time with friends in the club.

Giving myself too many thing to think of, but none of it can be the true reason. Work, too many things to settle for, so keep on thinking of it. But not, use to forget about work when I off from the office. The Venue, this the first time I’m in this place, so not use to… No, there always the first time and this cannot be the reason. People, not use to meet friend in this kind of place. NO, all these people you meet every time, in most of the gather, so cannot be.

Apollo and Hermes having a big fight in the silent night, no one is win and no one is lose, just making both of them tired. Apollo try to be himself in the party, but Hermes trying to take over the place, this make them a bit weird when come into people. The feeling of happy and sad both mixed into the mood now, just don’t know how to explain what is happen.

A glass of Vodka Lime and two glasses of Red Wine cannot do anything to both of them, none of them is giving out. They try to take over the mood from the other one, but still not working so well. Apollo tried to call his friend to company him, and make Hermes to give up. But Failed, his friend now in hometown and only come back to KL in another two more days. Apollo sad, but Hermes happy, Hermes try to use ‘sleepy’ as the weapon to make Apollo to give up.

No one is successful for that, no one, just making me to sitting here and write this out. Not thing to do then, this late, cannot be going out again, no one will open the door and let you drink inside de. Just to let both of them finished the fighting, and let the body to announce the time to sleep.

Please give me another glass of wine…

Relax Outside... Tough Inside...

This is the day before another two days off. :P tomorrow is my offday, then Monday I got a good reason to not go to work, I got a seminar at Eastin Hotel. Although the seminar only half day but I still take full day off and not coming back all the way from KL.

Next week will be a lazy week for me, because I only work for three days, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday all my offday, but I’m sure that after I come back then the same thing will happen like yesterday.

Sounds like my work is so relax, many days off, but no one will know the 13hours in office. Sometimes even not thing to do in office, my mind still thinking how to improve sales.

Another very serious issue is about the staff, in this area hardly for me to get a Chinese staff, working with Malay staff always problem. My staff now all is too young and they don’t really understand what the meaning of working. Sometimes I really pissed off with their attitude, they can disappear when halfway of working, not show up on the working days (without reason, or with some nonsense reason)…

Everyday I pray that HE can control my emotion and help me in my work, without HIM I do nothing.

Today another staff make me headache again, a call for me then no need to show up de, all my arrangement mess up de. Wish to get a staff as soon as possible then will terminate him.

Good TeamWork

First day come back to work after the short holiday start from Monday. Just as usual, the first day back to work after a holiday will be terrible day, everything pop-up from my task, many… many… too many…

My staff only will tell me: “David, this customer need this glasses by… VERY Urgent…” or “David, this one ah, we don’t know howto settle ooh… Can you please…” and this “David, when you not around, something happened… and… you need to do something…”

OMG, actually I already receive the call from office during my holiday, more than enough de, but still many things there waiting for me… I really need staff that can help me handle the branch when I’m not around. I really miss my good staff in Bangsar. Last time only me the one who call them when I off to ask they do something for me, but now…

My staff team in Bangsar all resigned after I left, the last one who left will be my good supervisor, a Vietnam student, yesterday morning take his flight back to Vietnam de. I just wonder how the manager in Bangsar gonna handle the branch without them.

I need a good team, to help me work things out. The support from HQ just arrive few days before this, the new frame that I need to do some package just arrived, and I wish that this can bring some income to our branch.

Now just busy to settle some unsettle-problem and ready the promotion stuff, then grab more sales… another busy day.

Happy... Sad...

Happy:

Receive the skin care products from the ‘specialist’, now got no reason for me to complain hard to get the skin care that I want, and I look so bad without some nice skin care. I know I need to do something, if not after the long hours work in the stressful working place, I’ll looks like 10 years older than my age.

Too many steps to remember, but wish that I use it correctly… :P didn’t pay much attention during that time the specialist told me which first and follow by which, something in my mind that time… :P

Sad:

Receive the news from WILL telling that he lost his camera, after our dinner in the Mediterranean and Tapas Restaurant. We try our best to look at the place that may the camera drop, in the car, in our bag… but still cannot find it.

Called back to the restaurant but the waitress said they never see anything left on the table, even there was I don’t think they will tell :P I know, I’m so bad to judge people like that. But what make us worry will be take by the other customer in the restaurant.

When we were in the restaurant, there got another two tables of customer dining in the same time. One is just next to our table and another one just came in right before we leave.

Felt so bad to hear that the camera was missing, all memories inside the camera gone with the camera. All the group photo are using WILL’s camera to take, and there still got some nice photo that WILL took during this trip. Luckily the one before this was save, if not sure WILL will feel even worst.

Even he’s getting the new camera but still the memories will not come back. WILL lost his camera, me feel bad to lose the memories, our memories. :’(

First Time in the Cinema

Don’t think that something happened in the cinema for the first time, not thing happened, just watch movie. This title just explain that today bring WILL to the cinema in Pavilion, and this the first time WILL watch movie in KL, with the malay couple sit beside him and chatting during the movie show. So sorry for that WILL, too bad that movie, The Happening, just show in the small cinema, so cannot choose the twin seats at the side.

Today plan suddenly change since WILL meeting postpone to some other day, and I’m be the one to company him again. Just too free for me, on short holiday. :P The plan change to have a movie in Pavilion and walk around Bukit Bintang area to get the stuff that WILL looking for.

This evening we have this nice dinner at MOUSSANDRA Mediterranean and Tapas Restaurant, with the company of William and SK.

We enjoy the good time, with the good company in this restaurant with not-so-many-people. Some sad story about this restaurant, as what the waitress told us that KL Plaza will close down for at least one and a half year to do some renovation, since the Pavilion Management take over the plaza. All the merchant need to move out, but this restaurant actually not in the plaza but just the back door attached to KL Plaza, most of the people come in from there.

Now in the following months, they may facing some problem in business since the renovation of KL Plaza may affect the business. The main door is not so easy to let people notice them.

Talk about the dinner, we had ordered too any dish till we cannot finish it, too full. After the appetizers, actually we almost there to stop eating, but we never know that SK did order another 4 main course for us. Looking at the nice food, but the hands not willing to move and grab the food. The food is not that bad, we wish to finish it, but really full.

We almost finished the recommended food in the restaurant so no other reason for us to come back then…

Story of the Chopsticks

Today I got a very important work, there is to bring WILL to walk around in KL. Since today I’m free and I’d finished most of the work for my tough mission, then just spend sometimes with WILL around the city.

WILL requested to have one photography session with him, to take his photo in the city. I still remember WILL have this nice photo on his Facebook and Friendster, and I find out that one of his friend also a photographer, some more he is more to portrait photo. I don’t know what to do, and not sure will my skill can reach what WILL request for.

Just to try my best, take some photo in the KLCC park, but the hot weather almost kill me, I can feel my whole body was sweat, even inside… We took not more than 20 photos, and then I give up and ‘run’ into SURIA KLCC.

Forget to tell about where I bring this white guy to eat. We had our lunch in Crystal Jade Lamen Restaurant in Lot 10. Just to try out the Lamen and the dumpling in the restaurant. So funny to look at a white guy using the pair of chopsticks.

We had a good time to chat at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in KLCC, that time actually taking a break after the ‘hot photography session’ in the park.

Dinner we went to this Korean Restaurant in Mid Valley, another place to use the chopsticks for meal. :P I just try to bring WILL to some places that he seldom go, but what come out in mind all is the restaurant using chopsticks. I think WILL may think that I’m making fun with him… :P

This the first time WILL visit Mid Valley and The Garden, I’m not sure what this white guy think about our one of the most famous shopping center in town.

A simple day, just walking around the city, without car cannot bring WILL to some other places like Putrajaya, or walk around in the few park in KL, like Titiwangsa Lake. Maybe next time.

Continue of the Tough Job

Today go out with Jane and Bong (bring him to go with us so that he won’t waste his holiday at home watching tv series for whole day, and everyday…) to this island called Simpang Lima, or some of them called Sungai Lima. Too bad, the weather don’t really help in our shooting, since the whole day cloudy and it’s rain when the time we reached that place.



Without the good lighting, so we just can take what we can, try our best do finish up the job. Another week then we need to hand up our job. The whole trip, the sun only comes out for not more than 20 mins, and in this 20 mins doesn’t really help but just make us feel hot and uncomfortable with the weather.



We come to this place not in time, whereby the local people tells that they only work on the first and the third week of the Chinese calendar, so this week will be the week that they rest. The aunty who provide us some info about the activities on this island, tells that if we need to take the nice photo of the people working on this island then we need to come before 8.30 in the morning, and another good time will be around 5-6pm.



So sad that we cannot take the photos that the people doing the work, but we’re lucky that the children in this place give us a lot of cooperation that make us have some great shots for the children.



Another good experiences that make us know next time when we want to do the record for this place then we should come on the right time.



Today really tired, since travel all the way to Klang and the whole day activities on the island, plus the weather is no good. But at least some great production that may let us end up this tough mission.

Bandung change to Bali

Can’t wait to on leave now… Tomorrow start will on leave for four days, just to clear my mind for this few days. Tomorrow will go to this island which next to Pulau Ketam, called Simpang Lima. Hope that we really can catch what we need to submit.

Talk about the trip to Bandung, now got a little bit changes. The two reporters that did the job before this runaway to another publisher and bring the photos with them, then they publish it without the approval from the editor. Last night received an email from the editor, who’s now in Laos for business trip, said that they wanna change the topic and will change the location. Means we no longer go to Bandung but our first place to go is Bali.

OMG, just almost finish do the research for Bandung, then now need to change… haiz… still don’t know what they really want us to do, from the email, they stated that want us to ready some places in Asia and report about the “Village Lifestyle”. We so shock, because before this we only agree to take for one trip but not this..

They want us to ready the schedule for them, and later will meeting with them when they come back. Wonder can we ask for visiting some place like Korea, or some places in China… :P some places that we really wish to go. :)

Today so tired, after three days work, non-stop, if not tomorrow need to go for the shooting session then for sure I’ll sleep until the sun goes down only I wake up. :P

Cheer Up My Dear Friend

I don’t know how to cheer someone, even I know he or she is unhappy. I’m so stupid to handle this. One of friends is having some problem with the family, her works, and friends. All these come to this friend in once, until this friend don’t really know how to handle all.

I’m just a good listener, but not a good advisor. I cannot help much, just listen to what this friend try to tell, cannot give too many advice. If you ask me how to solve the problem for this friend, then I’ll ask you how to handle this case.

Sorry friend, cannot help much, just wish that you will getting better and everything will settle soon. Cheer Up friend, just leave everything to HIM. HE will show you the way.

Simple Single Life…

Chat with POD on Gtalk, he tells that his life now very good, he’d found his loved one, and I said he’s show off in front of me. POD thought that I’m still attach with QR, he get shocked when I told him that now I’m single, for sure, he asks what happened…

I didn’t really answer his question, but only repeating that “Now I’m SINGLE…”. Don’t really know how to answer, since I’m the one who dump QR, just because my feeling was changed, cannot tell why, cannot tell how…

Others ask, are you met someone else? I said, nope, if yes then I won’t tell that I’m single de. Just because both of you stay apart? Answer is “Yes and No”, because this happened since QR still in KL, but confirm when QR went back to uni give me some extra excuses to say distance is a factor.

Actually I should tell earlier, but I didn’t do so. With the reason I don’t wish to spoil his second birthday, then I choose to tell after his 23^rd birthday. Last year I still remember I told him I wanna break up just one month before his 22^nd birthday. That was the first time I told him that I wanna break. This year I told him after he asked me: What happened in between us?

Last year I give both of us the second chance, just because I still believe that we still love each other, even after someone come to me that time, but still I chose QR. I’d hurt the one who came to me that time. Last year I hurt not only one guy, but two, this bring me that I lost two good friends. This year, beside QR, I hurt no one, this time no one involve in our relationship, but just QR and me.

Ya, now I can tell others that I’m SINGLE, just SINGLE, really SINGLE.

Friend asks me to enjoy the single life, before I’m attaching again. For me, single life = work, work and work. A very dry life, but luckily I still got a lot of friends with me. Spending my time with friends for movie, coffee and shopping, will be my single life. Simple Single Life…

Simple Single Me

Lazy Me

This evening come back to this lonely room in Klang. Don’t wish to come back tonight but cannot, because tomorrow need to work. If tomorrow morning only come back then I need to walk up very early in the morning , the bus journey will be about one or one and a half hour from KL. Some more I’m not use to the morning life in KL, very terrible, I’m not use to it because all these years my working hours will not in the peak hour.

This day I’m so enjoy with my offday, a lazy offday, wake up around 12 something, then went out for a movie at mid valley, then get back to Klang. Evening just finish the Chinese TV series, and do some update for my blog. This my lazy day that I’m stay away from everything, not even think about call back to office, and they never disturb me, so lucky to have this day.

After this may start to watch another Chinese TV series, or maybe can watch the CSI series, since I still got a lot more to finish. Just enjoy this peaceful day and take a rest. A bit boring, since get use with the busy life, but still thanks God for the day.

Tough Job

Today the first time walk around in KL city area but cannot get what we need. This morning went out with Jane, try to do our assignment, to take the portrait for the people in the city, not the ordinary guy on the street but to get some people in difficult life. We need to get this done before 20^th of this month, this related to our trip to Bandung in next month.

We started to walk from Petaling Street to Pudu bus station, then walk to Dataran Merdeka, then walk back to Central Market. All the streets are clear and beside workers and the driver, no other people on the road.

The whole morning get not thing related to our topic for today, just some landscape shots… Haiz… Just worry cannot get it done before due date. Our last chance to do it will be on next Monday, whereby we try to go to somewhere else in Klang area, the island called Simpang Lima, just next to Pulau Ketam. We’ll try our luck.

This the first time we facing the problem of cannot get the subject for our topic, a good experience but not a good feeling, worry… even the editor only ask for 50 pcs from us, but I don’t think its easy. Now just pray for a good day on coming Monday, so that we can try our luck to catch our subject on that day.

Another few job are coming to our way, a lot of wedding on coming September, and another few job will be in the end of the year. Wish that we can create some great photo in Bandung, because we may get the chance to go to Nepal. Until now my studio class haven’t start, don’t know when I can get the certificate…

Another NEW Stuff

SPIRIT Pop-Up Flash Diffuser

WITH 'n' WITHOUT

When people got no money to buy a good stuff for them, then they will come out something to replace it, and I’m one of them.

I dream for my speedlight for long time de, but still until now I haven’t manage to get one. Without the speedlight, sometime it limited my production, especially indoor. When indoor, I need to use flash to make everything bright and sharp. I need to freeze the movement; I need to add some light to speed up the shutter.

This little accessory can help me when I’m only need to add a little light to my production. It’s cheap, light, easy to use and still get the effect that I want. Another good investment to my work.

New Definition

Now my situation in this branch is “One Man Show”, because even I’m work with another 4 staffs, but still I need to work alone. I really miss my team in my old branch, they are the staff who can really help me. In this branch, I need to settle most of the thing by myself.

As a sales coordinator, they don’t even know how to serve customer. Last time is not my job to serve the customer, I’m the one to stand behind my staff to support or back-up them; but now, I need to go to serve the customer who walk in, if I let them to serve the customer, sure customer will walk out with an empty hand.

I don’t know what happened to this branch before this, that make all these staff becomes like this, and I need sometimes to fix this back to normal. Now I need to get new staff and educate them from the beginning. Now I try to educate the old staff but if another two more months they cannot show me some effort then I really need to consider changing all the man power.

New definition for Good Manager = multipurpose manager, plus do most of the job by himself. Don’t make any order to the staff so that they won’t feel any pressure at work.

So sad.

Cannot STOP

This morning planned to go for a photography outing but too bad the sky was raining since it’s dark. No production for today, just drive around and look for the location that we may come back next trip.

In the afternoon, take lunch with SK and my partner, Jane, in this new restaurant called The Cave, in SS2 PJ. (so sorry forget to attach together with the photo of the restaurant…) This place is not bad and I love the interior of the restaurant, you’ll feel that you’re dining in a cave. The food we only can give 3 stars, since not much choice. For them whose height is above 180cm must becareful to walk in this restaurant, since some of the place in this restaurant are not design for them above that height. The air-con in this cave is damn cold, maybe so many people dine-in during the weekend.

After sending Jane back to her office, then SK and me start our shopping in Sunway. This afternoon we planned to do some shopping in Sunway, for me is not that easy to get here to shopping cause I’m not drive. The first stop we go is the place where our little brother works, Padini Concept Store. Actually my first plan is to get a new belt for work, but when I reach here, all the plan gone, and new plan suddenly pop-up when I saw all the nice cloths, totally forget the origin-plan.

Walk in and out from the fitting room for at least 4times to try out the fitting, walk around the store for at least 3times to get all the stuff, tried out the cloths more than 10pieces to get the one I want. Almost two hours we spent in that store. At the end, get 1 dinner shirt by SEED, 1 v-neck T-shirt by SEED, 1 casual shirt by SEED, 1 sharp colour T-shirt and a short pant by Padini Authentics.

Actually wish to get more but must take care of my credit in my wallet, all these already cost me few hundred, this only the first store. Some more last few days just shop for my working cloths, another few hundred gone. OMG, what happened to me… suddenly get so many things… Maybe this is to cover back for the last few months, whereby that time I got no mood to shop. Oh I must stop it now, if not sure next month when the time statement on my hand then my hand will start to shake…

Opsss… Forget to tell that I get a nice slipper from Edwin. :P

Ask Again...

This evening SK come over my office just to fetch me back to KL, tomorrow I got a photography outing so this evening I must get back to KL. Everytime I walk with SK, and meet with my friends, and then sure this question will come out from their mouth: “Is that Your Girlfriend?”

Sometimes I’m lazy to answer this question since if I say no, then they won’t believe, but if I say ‘yes’ then how I gonna explain later. Why people must think that one male and female walk together then must be something in between them. People always said: No pure-friendship in between a male and a female. =.=’’’

This time my staffs ask about it, but I never give them any reply, just let them think about it themselves.

Another week was gone, this my second week in this branch. Started to get use with the life in Klang, and started to accept the lifestyle here. My room in Klang looks better and feels more comfort to stay de. The only problem needs to be settle is the transport from KL to Klang. Still feel tired to travel all the way to Klang, by bus.

Challenge

Today SO ‘Cham’… the whole day busy after Area Manager visited our branch. This morning meet him in his office, last night purposely go back to KL, from Klang, just because this morning got a meeting with him and need to choose the new stock with the supplier. Then he drove me back to Klang, not only to visit the branch but to witness the handover too.

Handover just a simple job to be done, but what he want me to do for the branch really not that easy. Too many comment and too many things to do. The way he talks just like simple and easy work, but when I start to do then totally not that easy.

I still need to make it right, I know is a lot of work to do, but since I agree to take over this branch then I should do what needed. Maybe he’s right, if I go to the good branch then cannot prove that I’m good to mange the branch, originally that branch is good. Heroes always need a bad situation to show his superpower.

Tired, since a lot of stress, and many work haven’t done. Wanna zzzZZZ de…

Wake Me Up

5mins before this, my housemate suddenly come into my room and wake me up, because he said some one break into the house and took his handphone. First thing in my mind is “what the guy took this time?”. This is not a new issue in this house, which someone breaks into the house. In these two years, we lost many things.

I still remember 18 months before this, my ex-housemate lost his laptop, which still not yet one-week-old. That time we lost one laptop and two wallets. Another case will be 6-8 months after that, my ex-supervisor lost her handbag, which that time she put it next to her bed and she still sleeping that time. That times the thief break into her room and grabs the bag.

Now this time when the time we sleeping, the same thing happened. This time the thief break the gate behind the kitchen. He just got enough time to take my housemate’s handphone then run away with it. My housemate said he only saw a men’s shadow in the dark. Not thing lost beside that. Now I cannot sleep anymore, thinking when it will happen again.

Poor housemate, he’s so angry now, sitting outside and telling me that his new handphone. Poor him. If just now the thief break into my room, then both of my handphones will be in dangerous. Now I’m worry about my camera, which I keep it inside my room. I wonder should I keep it at somewhere else when the time I’m not around.

Who will be the next victim after this???

G.I.F.T

Remind me if I did.

Thanks for the lens and I really love it so much. I cannot give everyone a kiss, as what SK did, :P wish to give everyone a hug…

The cute little PLU cup from Froggie, so cute… before I open the content inside, I already love the box, the box with full of words…

Emmm… should I bring this back to hometown and put it inside my room? Or just keep in inside the drawer. Just wonder my mum will ask the meaning of the printing or not… wish that no other issue will come out after this…

The book, a photography book from Kenzon and Richard. I’m so surprise they get me something that I wish to get before this. Thank you so much. Actually that day I read this book in MPH and wanted to get it, but now I get it as a gift for my birthday. So nice… Promise will read it and improve my skill…

Another bag and tie… From Chester. I love it… Thanks, Chester… Another bag in my collection, I can’t remember this is the bag after how many bags in my collection, only remember that this is my 2^nd bag from the brand of SEED. I love the tie too, easy for me to match with the light color shirt.

Another collection, Underwear, a kinky underwear from Takashi and Jason. I need more space to store my collection de, the drawer cannot fit de, need a huge drawer. :P but still wish to stock in some new one… :P

A secret gift from a good friend… is a she… I love it, and I never have this kind of stuff before, some more come with a lovely color, light blue. Can you guess what the content of the box??? Even your answer is correct but the gift still belongs to me… :P

This only part of the gift, some of it still ‘on it’s way’, like my little sister still thinking what to get. As I know not only the gang of blogger want to get me the portrait lens, but my sister also think the same, and my partner, Jane too. Jane told me that before I tell her that I get the lens as my birthday gift, actually she already ordered the same one with another dealer, if I never tell her then this year I’ll get two same lenses. My sister complaining doesn’t know what to get beside lenses…

Thanks for the gift and the love come along with it. *hug
