Lost Connection

Another one week that I never update my blog, without the boardband, I just lost the connection with others. Not only cannot update my blog, but also cannot check my mail daily, cannot update my photos too.

Tomorrow will try to get either the celcom boardband or maxis one, need to have either one, so that can get back my connection. Still no time to go to U-Mobiled HQ, a bit lazy to do so, because I know they still cannot get me any solution, go there only will waste my time.

The whole week I had been busy with my work, 3 days (26-28 August) work in Kluang, Johor, another 2 days (29-30 August) in Kuang, Rawang. 25^th night already reached Kluang in late night, drive for 3hours to reach there.

Work for the whole week and today is the first day I get a good rest. I can sleep until 2-3pm, and only wake up because a sms come in. Cannot continue my sweet dream, not only worry tonight cannot sleep but someone forcing me to go out for dinner.

At home still a lot of things to do, laundry need to send, document need to settle, photo need to process, mail need to send… … … need to take at least three days to stay home and get all these work done.

Not only the work at home cannot be done, but this coming Tuesday still needs to go for my studio class. Jane and I need to get the revision class for the classes that we missed in last two weeks.

Now need to go to get some rest, and wish the day after tomorrow can get my connection and start to update this poor little blog. Need to get more sleep.

Happy 51 Merdeka Day…

Someone in my Life

Maybe I really wish to have someone in my life, to share with me, but still I didn’t meet any right person to fit it. Sometimes I’m thinking, am I too choosy? Or maybe this not a good time for me to have someone since I’m not ready for it.

Thinking to share my life with someone but always not as easy as I thought. The right timing, the right person, the right feeling, maybe want all these meet at the same time, even harder to win a 4D.

These two months I did meet with some guys, but too bad, none of them can be the right person in my life. The feeling of thinking a person everyday is no more in my life, maybe I feel disappointed with the relationship before this, then make me cannot move one more steps to the front. Before I make sure I get the right person, I don’t wish to make any steps, I’m scared, I’s scare I’ll fall down again.

Jealous, jealous people who can maintain a long-term relationship. Wish that myself can have one. Not easy, not so easy to get it, and not so easy to maintain it even when you met it. Waiting, keep on waiting, just like someone at the bus station waiting the right bus to come. Praying, praying for not hurting anyone, and no more hurt by anyone.

My life still moving on no matter him comes into my life or not. But still… I’ll wait for the day to come.

Setting up my New Office

Last Friday Jimmy called me up to HQ and talk about my work. He wants me to setup a new room next to his office to become my office in HQ. This office need to be done by early next month, means after this I need to work in HQ. This really a bad news for me.

Before this, I only need to be there when we got meeting or I need to get something there, beside that there is no reason to keep me in HQ, but now no matter I got work or not I still need to be there, stand by to be his PA.

Not only that, but I need to setup a new setting for the project, and start to in charge for all project, no matter big or small. Last time only the project that he got no time to do then only ask me to get it done, but now everything must go through me.

A new office, a new job, another challenge. Next time will be busy to stay at office and call each customer… … …

Tough Job

Last few days ended up my tough job to bring this ShangHai Po (Shanghai Lady) and her family to Langkawi, really a tough work, I wish that no second time to do this kind of job. don’t know where should I start to tell what happened on the whole trip.

The first two days I bring them to visit some places in KL city area, but my plan keep on change, just to fulfill their needs. After come out from a place sure they will complaint something. Come out from Pavilion, complaint about not thing to buy inside Pavilion, most of it is international brand, so she can gets it anywhere. When walk out from KLCC then complaint that too many people there, not so comfortable to walk.

When I told her that our aquaria is smaller than the one in Singapore, then she straight away cancel the plan to visit aquaria. Luckily the first day I only need to accompany them for half day then I just tell them I got dinner plan and drop them back to one-world hotel, then ended up my job.

The day we went to Genting Highland, luckily I bring Cheryl and Eva with me, if not then sure I’ll die halfway before we reach there. That day I feel a bit free because not me to serve them, most of the time I just let Cheryl to answer their questions. Seems like the ShangHai Po interested on Cheryl’s job, so she keeps on asking about cosmetic and the marketing of it.

My tough job starts when the time I need to go to Langkawi with the family. Before we depart towards LCCT, they already complaint why we only arrange a ‘small car’ to fit five of us into it. That morning suddenly I need to change the plan of ask our company driver to fetch us there because the driver is sick, so I just called to LIMO, but they said we must make the reservation 4hours before. At the end I just call to one of the taxi driver, who recommended by Cheryl, and luckily the taxi driver got no appointment that hour. A Waja to fit 4 Adult and a child I think should be enough, but they still complaint. Haiz.

Then when we on board, the first question comes out from the little feller, the 7 years-old daughter, is “Why we take this flight? The seats so small…”. WTH… now we’re the one who paying for the ticket, still complaining… If she pay herself then for sure I’ll go for the most expensive one, who don’t wish to fly with business class? Fu*k…

Only 45mins flight, I don’t understand what make them to complain… If they really wish to have good service then they should tell me earlier when the time I ask for their details to buy the ticket.

Too many bad things happened in Langkawi for that three days, the conclusion is never ever bring someone who wish to take a ‘high class’ holiday at a Kampung Area. Those three days on the island make me headache when I need to arrange the place to go and things to eat.

“Oh we wish to eat at the hawker stall…” but when I bring them to the hawker stall, they complaint not thing to eat here, and want us to change to some other place.

“Oh we wish to eat some local seafood…” but complaint the way we cook is too strong (taste), she want something light, like steam fish or prawn. The third day she complaint our local seafood make her allergic, so she don’t want to eat seafood anymore.

“I wish to go to the seaside…” Bring her go for at least four places, only one places she like, the others each of them sure got complain one. Haiz… she wish to play the water sports but too bad most of it not work because her daughter too small, like the jet ski, she cannot drive too fast because her daughter go with her, so she not so enjoy with it.

“Why we must stay near the town but not near the sea?” OMG, she last minute only ask us to make the reservation for the room, then when we check for the availability, most of it full and very expensive, just because now is the school holiday, not only local people will be there, but most of the Arabian are there too… WTF, we still let them to stay at the room facing the sea… I never see her stay under the sun for more than half an hour, so don’t tell me she wanna enjoy the sun.

Jane and me only can go to shopping after we drop them at hotel for a ‘afternoon rest’, for two hours, or after finished the dinner, around 9 something, and quickly get the stuff we want at the local duty free store.

The most happy thing for me on this trip is the shopping part. Finally, I get the camera backpack that I wish to have for so long from this island. We shopping inside the ‘largest shopping mall in Langkawi’ (cannot recall what’s the name of the shopping mall), and I just saw one backpack in this camera shop. The funny thing happen when the store keeper do the mistake and put the wrong price tag. Too bad, when he noticed it is too late. The original price for the backpack should be RM 488, but the price putting there is RM 388, after he discounted for me at RM 320, only he found that the price RM 388 is for another model, the one without compartment for laptop. Jane gets it to me as the birthday gift for my birthday, now only I claim my birthday gift with her.

Not only get my nice birthday gift from the island but I get 24 bottles of miniature from Langkawi too. I love the miniature of this Vodka collection and some other liquid too. Actually I wish to get more but worry the kastam may check, so only get 24 bottles into my bag. The usage of my new backpack is to put the miniature. Not only the miniature of the bottle but I also get one set of Miniature Mahjong, a very small size mahjong, inside a very nice box.

In Langkawi sure people will buy chocolate, different kind of chocolate from other country. I think I spent more than two hundred for the chocolate. Get some with wine and some chocolate that cheaper than here. OMG, this time sure need more exercise in gym room, too many chocolate de.

Still cannot get the connection at home, so recently my post most of them are ‘expired’ one, after a while only I post it out. I got no time to complain this at the head office of U-mobile, but will do it soon.

Next Monday will go for another Felda trip at Johor, so no time in KL. That few days will update not thing, but try to update back my post after this. Sorry for them who follow my life all these while, I’ll try my best to fix things back to normal, without my internet, not only cannot update my post but I’m wasting the flickr account too, didn’t update any photo after so long they get me the Pro account.

PA to PR

All these while I’m just an ordinary optician cum branch manager for a single retail outlets under a big chain store. After the serious case in between me and the CEO, then I become the staff under the black-list. This makes me to become the staff direct under my AM (Area Manager), and then now he makes me become his Personal Assistance, to settle the work that he cannot settle.

Today receive a very rare job from my AM, a job that shouldn’t done by the people under my position. It’s not related to my work, my duty… none of my business at all… He wants me to become the tour guard for a lady from China, means to become the PR for our company, and bring this lady visit our lovely country.

Who is this lady? She’s the big-person from China, one of the big person under Carrefour Management in China. Her 4 years-old daughter will follow her on this vacation.

What links our company to this lady? Even she’s the big-person from Carrefour, but still our company to handle her vacation because she help our company to settle some problem in China before this, so this will be the time for our company to pay-back.

Today my work is not to settle the problem or planning for the next eyecare project, but is to plan for the timetable of “Visiting Malaysia in 7Days”. Today whole day busy to make the last minute reservation for the room for tomorrow, then check for the time and date for the flight from KL to Langkawi. Forget to tell that I’ll bring them to Langkawi for 3D2N on the coming Monday.

In the timetable will bring them to visit the main landmark of our country, KLCC Tower, KL Tower, Genting Highland, visit Sunway Lagoon, and some famous shopping center too. My another mission is to bring these China people to eat some local food, I’m so headache with this since I’m not so into most of the local food, especially the spicy food.

This is the first time for me to handle this kind of cases, so make me feel very nervous, not sure what kind of person I need to face with and what will happen on this trip. Just worry that this will be the last job for me in this company if anything happen during the trip. The first job as a PR…

Changing the Trip AGAIN

Today receive the call from Mr. Editor, telling us that our trip to Bali will cancel due to some changes from the HQ. AGAIN… haiz… when Jane told me this I’m so mad of this Mr. Editor, because he keeps on changing our trip, from Bandung to Bali then now change again. When I’m almost speak the bad word – Fxxk, Jane give me some good news.

She telling me that Mr. Editor said now we no longer working with the branch from East Coast side, but directly under the HQ of this company, because the big boss interested on our topic and wish that this will not only publish at the newspaper in the east side. This means that our work later will publish in nationwide. This big news for us, means everyone from this country will see our job after this.

Then Jane give me the second good news is big boss willing to pay both of us a basic salary for this trip, not a small amount, it’s equal to my basic salary for a month in my current job. Just a short trip then I can get the same amount that I work for whole month in my current company. Too bad it just a part time job, if not then sure my life will better for me to work with them fulltime.

The basic salary only for our own spend, because the rest of the expenses will cover by the company, included the flight ticket, accommodation, everything we eat and transport charges on our trip. We’re so happy with this new offer from the big boss, and this give us a chance to save some money and buy some good tools to upgrade ourselves. Maybe a super wide-angle lens will be a good idea.

We no need to do the planning for our trip since they will be ready everything for us, not like the trip before this, we need to plan for our schedule, places to visit, now Mr. Editor will get ready it and give us a timetable. Another good thing on this Plan Changing.

Trip will only come by end of October, so the whole month of September will be free; just concentrate on the wedding job by end of September. New Changes, New Challenge.

Simple Day

Today should be working day, but since the project postpone to next week so I got one more week free from work. Before the project start I got not thing much to do, like today. Wake up 12.30pm, still not enough because the day before only sleep 3hours, thanks for the ‘Yin Yong’ (Coffee mix Tea) from Kim Gary. Then lunch with two friends in the Curve, then evening time goes to workout before dinner.

e is just simple and easy, enjoy the free time, just relax and clear up my mind.

go back and continue my tv series, then do my portfolio.

-End-

My FAULT

Bad Day, really a bad day. Bad day not because I need to go back to office in early morning. Bad Day not because last night cannot sleep at all, until morning 6am only can fall asleep. Bad day not because I’m not feeling well. Bad day not because I need to company my friend to clinic. Bad day because I received the text message saying that my cloths sent to my doorstep and it in between the door and the grill.

That time I was halfway watching movie inside cinema, I don’t know what to do, should I get back immediately and get in the cloths? Or should I stay back and wait until the movie end? At the end I choose to finish the movie. Stay back not because I’m not worry about the cloths or not worry someone may break in, just because I’m too angry this happen and I need to cool down.

My fault, all MY FAULT to tell her that tomorrow I wish to workout and need to get my cloths. MY FAULT to tell that today I cannot go to gym because no sportswear. MY FAULT to make the first SMS that ask for her tomorrow what time she will go for medical checkup, this make her feel that I NEED my cloths URGENT. BUT none of my text message telling her I NEED all my stuff by next minute.

Without informing me that she will reach my place, suddenly received a text message telling that my cloths is here, until I cannot stop her to do that. Who’s fault? MY FAULT…

Unhappy day, unhappy than scold by my CEO, unhappy because I’ll lost something in my LIFE.

Final Project

Since this few weeks will have some free time at home, just spend sometimes to finish the portfolio that cannot finish after few months. Cannot keep it for too long because after this will have another final portfolio to go, then by end of this year few more job to go, so have to finish it soon.

Few reasons the portfolio cannot be finish, the main reason is I keep on changing the design for it, keep on checking for the article, changing and changing. Only the front cover already design at least four different one, until now still no final decision come out yet.

Just have to make sure I finish this portfolio by end of September, if not then I’ll be in big trouble, too many portfolio in pending, at the end none of it will be done.

Final

Even the studio class just started, but now I have to think a topic for my final project. Need to get ready a story for it. Thinking what topic will be the best. Any idea?

Ops...

The Usage of Office Desktop

This morning went into AM’s Office, he’s not around, he gave me his office key to settle something. I didn’t mean to search for something bad from his desktop, but after I finished everything and waiting for staff from another department to come and meet me.

That moment I got not thing to do, open IE, and then check my mail… finished… check my blog… finished… still waiting… IE still there, only the address is empty… Type in ‘a’… not thing much come out… Type in ‘b’… a long list… even the list is long but few words get my attention… ‘fu*k’, ‘hole’, ‘three…’… just click one of it to find it out where the address link me to.

Pop up with Ads, Ads that selling porn, straight porn. When I closed the pop-up window, the original window running a video, porn video, OMG, straight porn. Now I know what my AM do when he’s free… Watching porn in the office. Cannot continue anymore, just shut it down and call for the staff who should meet me half an hour ago. Just wish to leave the room A.S.A.P…

Bad Service

One month, my device not working at all, cannot online at home, bring me a lot of trouble. Since today, I need to go to BTS, just pay a visit to U-Mobile branch in G-Floor.

Give them a very dark face; ask them to check for the status. Feedback: Sorry no coverage at your area. WTF, they not upgrading their service but ‘downgrade’, DOWN until cannot provide any service at all. When I tell them I wish to terminate the contract, they tell me I cannot terminate unless I pay the penalty, RM 799 + RM78 (last month charges).

Solution given: Just wait until our system fully upgrades and we’ll inform you… BULLSHIT! How I gonna know how long your stupid company need to take to upgrade your stupid system, which only can use for few months, then die. I repeating asking for the same question: How I gonna end-up the contract, by not paying you anything? How you all gonna compensate my lost?

Still no solution at all, just gives me the contact number for the HQ in 11th floor in the same building. Office closed just visits them next week.

++++++++++++++

First Class

This evening is my first class for my studio class, so excited. Just ready all tools, and get ready the notebook to copy down the notes. What I didn’t expect is there are so many people in this class. Normally one class should be 5-8 people, but this class 11people. OMG, too many people, until we got no time to practice how to use the studio flash set.

One of the senior said, just relax, first class always full, or extra, but when come to second or third class, then getting lesser and lesser. Just believe it at this moment. Not enjoy with the practical part since too many people take turn to take the shots, just learn the theory, and then practice it another time.

Luckily normal day seldom people use this studio room, so we planned next week to come over a bit early, and practice by ourselves.

Disappointed

Today come back to work in the office which I just left. Come back, because today no optician in the shop. The second reason to come back to Klang this day, just to pick up the stuff that still inside my room and pay the rental to the landlord.

This morning Cheryl help me to clear the room and move all the stuff to her little car, then company me back to my office. Then only she find out how ‘good’ my staff is. The practitioner left me a piece of A4 paper, full with the work that she cannot done, most of them is very simple job.

Then I try to use few hours to settle 2/3 of the work, before I start to do mine. Looking at the sales figure for the last three days that when I’m not around, *disappointed. When I ask for the reason why they cannot make a good sales, the answer just too simple: No sales.

Still some new frame on table inside the refraction room, no one knows how to make that frame into the table and sell it. I cannot imagine what figure will come out after end of this month, since I just build up 100% sales from their last record. Last time we blame no support from HQ but now cannot do this anymore.

Not only the sales, but also they do not thing for the stock, the work beside the sales. It backs to the time before I enter into this branch. I feel disappointed but still I need to let it go, because it will be very dangerous for me to stay back. No one will know when the CEO will call to the branch and start to scold us. Just receive another call from a friend work in PJ, last week he just received the call from him, repeating the same thing everytime he talks to the staff.

I don’t know how to pass most of my work to them, even if I handover now I’m sure that they cannot do it. Others ask me just let it go and let them to do it themselves, but… haiz… another thing that I’ll worry is after this month they got no optician and that time if no one takeover then will I receive the call from the CEO again? What will happen next…

Dim Sum Buffer

Good Blunch

As the plan that we set to weeks before, this morning will go for a buffer breakfast in Oriental Spoon, KL Sooka Sentral. 8 of us, just nice to fit into a big table, which is the first table from the way walk in. The partition just gives us a little privacy and not disturb by the big family next to us.

After the bad dinner last night, in Zanmai Sushi @ the Garden, this morning felt that very hungry and cannot wait for the food to ready. Talk about the bad dinner, so disappointed with the service and the food from the restaurant that most of the people highly recommended. We wait for more than 15mins to get the table to fit 6 of us, then only we realize that inside the restaurant cannot feel air-con but only the heat from the spot-light. Before this when we standing outside to wait for the table, we complained that the Garden not cold enough, feel so hot.

Then they missed my order, mine tenduri come after others finished their meals. I’m so disappointed with the service too, call for few times only refill for the green tea, ask them to check for the meal, after four times only come out with my meal. The food not so fresh, some of it tasteless, especially the vege.

Thanks God that after the bad dinner, this morning I can get some nice breakfast. The building very silent in this Sunday morning, but a lot of people waiting in front of the restaurant before it open. Luckily we made the reservation two weeks in advance, because a group of lady didn’t make reservation cannot dine in because the restaurant is fully booked.

Wish to post the photos that I took for the dim sum, but all photo with Jr., because I used his camera to take it. Maybe try to update the photo after this.

Even the dim sum without pork, but still taste nice. Next week will be the last weekend for the promotion of this dim sum buffer, RM 18.80++. Too bad cannot make any reservation now, if not sure next week I wish to go again.

Spent 3hours plus for our Dim Sum Buffer, a nice blunch, in the lovely Sunday. *full

Good Price... Bad Price...

PC Fair, crowded as it always does. LRT jam, everyone heading towards the same direction. Not only the LRT ticket counter got this long queue, but all ATM machine also ‘busy’.

With only visit the two halls inside conventional center almost kill Chester and me. We set few item to look for, but seems most of the thing not in good price so at the end come out with only one DVD RW on my hand, Chester totally come out with empty hand.

The SD card I bought during the last PC fair in April just cost me RM 55 (4GB SDHC level 4), but now the same type of memory card cost me another RM 5 on top of the old price. WTH is going on? Blame the petrol? I know the price of RM 60 to get the 4GB SD card still cheap but I just wish to get the same price or lower than last time.

The price on the box of the DVD RW that I get actually printed RM 85, but in the list was RM 88. When I try to ask the salesman why they putting the different price, then his answer is: Oh, that’s the cost of the DVD RW, so we only earn RM 3… WTF, try to make some story here… nevermind, I need it urgent, even the price is higher than the price they sell in original outlet, I just pay for it.

The price of the DVD I get from outside is RM 35 (for 50pcs) but they selling the same brand in RM 48. Stop to compare the price de, just walk out from the door and continue my day with some shopping in Mid Valley.

PC fair, to announce some new product? To promote some good stuff? To sell the goods in good price? Or to earn more money from the crowd?

11.00PM

Today whole day walking in and out, no sales, not thing to do, just did one eyetest, damn boring. Luckily this day is my last day in here, if not then sure I’ll…

Today so lucky my god-sister came and companies me for almost whole day, and lunchtime thanks for Pikey company me for lunch at Ikea. Talk about the lunch, I noticed that the meatball from Ikea getting smaller and smaller, the price still the same but the meatball is different de.

Pity me today have to work until 11.00 in the night, I blame Tesco because they set it to close at so late. I’m so sleepy!!!! Luckily tomorrow no need to work, then I can wake up after 10.00.

Ended the day work in Tesco MD, I’m FREE. Tomorrow will visit the Pikom PC Fair in KLCC, anyone wanna join??? (I heard the sound “NO…”, because I know too many people there…) I just want to go there to have a ‘look’…
