Age + Woman, what does this equals to for my colleagues?

Motherhood!

and I.... am falling into the dungeon of 'mummies' as I am sitting next to one who recently gave birth, takes breakfast with another who is pregnant and a mother of two, a boss who is trying her luck for a child, and the rest of my colleagues who are somewhere near it,

My daily messages/ notifications are "junior is very shy, doesn't wanna show the doc his/her gender!" or something like "look here! i'm a real teddy!" and send me this picture: -

and

We have colleagues like Elaine! See what she is doing:-

To My Dearest Dadumbo - Life

2011-02-28T00:47:00.017+08:00

Your life has a purpose, something uniquely suited to who you are.

The more closely you align your day to day priorities

with that purpose, the more fulfillment you'll know.

When the priorities you've chosen stray away from your purpose,

then life becomes filled with frustration.

When you put your time and effort into things that don't really matter,

it brings on a painful, gnawing emptiness.

If something is truly important to the core of your being,

then there is most certainly a way to make it happen.

When you make the effort and spend the time on what really matters,

the rewards will be great indeed.

It will never be easy to follow your purpose.

For by its very definition, your highest purpose demands the best that you have to offer.

Yet following that purpose will fulfill you in away that nothing else can.

To every extent possible, align your priorities to to who you truly are.

Let your own special greatness light up this world.

~Ralph Marston~

Anticipating the Lunar Year of 2011

2011-02-01T00:16:00.010+08:00

I'm energized of counting down for the coming Chinese New Year! Hooray!

The year 2010 has not been a blissful year for me,

even though it is coming to an end of the Lunar Calendar Year.

Apparently I am still rallying round with my 'suayness'.

Dent my car, tripped and fell, phone KOed, 2 bulbs blow out and lastly, my fridge KOed too!

No doubt, I had a great time working in this Mall with this bunch of 'women'.

Spending weekends in Penang catching up with my girlfriends.

Enjoying and having the pleasure to tease Dumbo most of the time.

Dumbo: A dose a week, you won't lose your wits!

However, we have yet to get a complete picture of all of us.

On the other hand,

I'm glad to have known some great people who got me into an ecstatic mode and

filled me up with joy and happiness for my wonderful year!

An imprint on my life.

2010-12-03T01:02:00.004+08:00

Gazing at the plain wooden casket, it is indeed scary.

Knowing you would never apologize for postponing a dinner anymore.

I didn't realize that it would be the last words I could hear from you.

It is my absolute privilege to have known you.

The memories of joy that i will hold onto.

Missing you...

Epigrams

2010-11-29T20:13:00.000+08:00

"the indefatigable pursuit of an unattainable perfection, even though it consists in nothing more than the pounding of an old piano, is what alone gives meaning to our life on this unavailing star."
By Logan Pearsall Smith

"To define the beautiful is to misunderstand it."; By Charles Robert Anon

Recently I've read this article online by Tara Struyk which I would like to share with you.
The differences between the thrifty and the cheap:-

Thrifty: Buying items that are on sale
Cheap: Only buying items that are on sale

Thrifty : Tipping according to service
Cheap: Never tip at all

Thrifty : Putting money aside for savings
Cheap: Saving everything and living on nothing

Thrifty: Taking advantage of a good deal
Cheap: Taking advantage

Thrifty : Cutting out internet and cable
Cheap: Stealing it from your neighbours

Going to visit it very soon!

Thoughts..

2009-04-05T22:23:00.012+08:00

Thoughts..

Year 2009 have been a fabulous for the this first quarter.

My life have been revolving between work and the short trips to KL.

Joleen, SY, Morg, and the beloved team,
Farewell my dears,
to all my fondest thoughts of you,
it shall dwell,
to cheer and comfort.

...Till we meet again...

..The remarkables..

TF, you would be back right????

The fun with HF, Vic & Diego!

Chee Seng & Ariel, my first classmate's wedding!
Congrats!

Celebrating earth hour with the 'Jagungs'!

and... now, waiting apprehensively ...
Would that be a celebration or a bringdown?

jokes of the region!

2009-03-19T11:39:00.004+08:00

The best news of the year! Hell is offering VSS!
hahahaha ..... and best part is, the whole department of sales and cust care has lined up, from floor agents to directors! ahahahah .... thats like only 5% who has not applied!

and lately, I've been serving a region of 4 countries , SG, MY, NZ and AUS.
gosh...

Singaporeans have really superb customers of the 4 regions. They would come out with words of
" I duno what da hell is that" or "what?"
Wonder is their culture that rude? I thought they were those who considered as "highly educated" comparing to the other neighboring countries.

Malaysians would have "helo? helo?" whatever you said, regardless they understand it, standard question they would give you, "helo? helo? helo? helo".
*sia sueh niaaaaaa*

Australian and Kiwis would love to start the sentence with, "look, ....." .

And lately. some nene really cracks me up giving me some service tag of , "D for Ding, B for Blink, G for Green, F for Fling , number 1 and S for Sing" ..... WAhahahahaa..... that is really a person who learns only one vowel!

coming to the end of cny!

2009-02-04T20:27:00.007+08:00

Chinese New Year!

2009-01-24T20:18:00.011+08:00

Once a year, we celebrate the Chinese New Year!

In a very special way,
Family feasts on new years eve.
Reaffirming family and kinship ties.
Dress in red and gold.
We heralds fresh hopes for happiness and prosperity throughout the year.
Firecrackers, lanterns, lions and dragons,
Signaling the fresh start of the year.
May I wish everyone, a Happy New Year!

Kek Lok Si Temple during the first fifteen days of Chinese New Year!

The joke for the start of my Chinese New Year is,
I was the clown for the lion dance performance at work yesterday!
Obviously, CW and Morgie were performing extremely well as a 'lion' while I'm trying to figure out my way, trying not trip with that 2 little holes that I could barely see and breathe through.
WAhahahaha
Would be heading back to KL tmr, never thought it is a good idea to spend new years in KL at all, and work begins on Weds! -.-

The sick day

2008-12-17T16:30:00.005+08:00

Guess it didn't begin today. Monday, feeling uneasy with a pale complexion , my manager has asked me to pay a visit to the clinic, which eventually i had. After taking panadols, I'm lively again! Lol. Yesterday wasn't a problem too until the dot when I left work at 2pm. Flew home and had a long sleep. However, things got worst, started with a fever, then nausea, after paying a visit to the doctor, came out saying throat was badly infected, indigestion, virus attack and blahhhh blahhhh..

Sigh... Now I have loads of work piled up when I slept like in total of 24 hours from 3pm yesterday.
Thanks to my lovely friends, who had so taken so much care of me,
forcing me to finish that plain porridge was funny. Lol...

Alive

2008-12-14T14:39:00.002+08:00

Time
Goes, slowly now, in my life,
Fear, no more, of what, I'm not sure,
Searching to feel your soul,
The strength to stand alone,
The power of not knowing, and letting go.

I guess I've found my way,
It's simple when it's right,
Feeling lucky just be here, tonight,
And happy, just to be me,
and be .... Alive.

Love
In and out, of my, my heart,
And though life,
Can be strange, I can't, be afraid,
Searching to feel your soul,
The strength to stand alone,
The power of not knowing and letting go.

A footsteps that would never be found again

2008-12-09T16:11:00.002+08:00

Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for being considerate.

I understand that I would never be the best fit
hence, I shall leave it...

Dooms day

2008-12-08T16:49:00.002+08:00

Wordless, unexpressed, despondent, desolated. doomed....

8th of December, 2008. Wishing it to end.
Cruising down the Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah and all the way through coastal highway at 4.15am, the surreal silence of the city was spine-chilling.
Wondering what is life's deepest mystery.
It is a formidable challenge in life.
and It could take a time frame as long as a lifelong interval to discover.

On the spur of the moment, I have the urge of leaping off the plank that meant to secure your life, feeling the moment of the free fall gravity at an instant.
(I meant bungy jump, not stepping off a building or cliff)

I've found this : G-FORCE X
The highest slingshot ride in Asia. Maybe I should just drive down this weekend for it.

2009 weddings

2008-12-06T16:08:00.002+08:00

Year 2009 seems to be a great year for my buddies in Auckland ! Lol..
Started with Bobby's wedding. Marrying Mel's elder sister. WAhahaha

Then we have Darrens! hahaa.
Congragulations!

WAhaha, this picture cracks me up! How smart to put a 5 feet 7 infront so that you won't look short! WAHahahahaa and how come I never knew Michael is 6 foot ? NO tipping toes!
WAhahahaha! So much fun!

BRAVO GUYS! Who's Next?

Lost

2008-11-30T20:59:00.004+08:00

Trip to HK was a good trip for relaxing, visiting my dad, hanging out with some friends, laze around and do nothing!

BUT, I'm not ready to be back in reality!

I'm not ready to work, I'm not ready to face the challenge. I've tried to adapt to the 6am to 3pm or 5am to 2pm work shift. But, it is really depressing to work at this time zone. Working in Chin's team was the greatest period i had in my year. Where I look forward to be there, I look forward towards the next project to launch, every next seems to be a enjoyably challenge.
12 days annual leave was needless.

Whereas, now, the sudden drastic change that was arranged for me is not comfortable at all.
I'm lost! I dislike going to work tomorrow, I dislike working with a team which has no team work. 12 days annual leave isn't enough!

Being so emotional has causes friends complaining about how I've been for the past month. During my holiday, it gave me ample time to think about adapting the changes which I tried to change to a better self. However, it has just simply stop there.

Sitting consciously in reality, my phone needs to be on, for emergency purposes i suppose. But neither do I understand why, I wish it is off. I'm afraid if speaking, I'm afraid of changes. I'm not ready for the next change.... Can things be stagnant for awhile?

If it's not possible, can we turn the clock back to 6 months ago? If that's not possible as well. Then I guess there is no other words to describe what I am currently, Lost!

This is what I'm looking at, daily from my room, I'm not sure whether am I in a total lost condition, that causes it to be gloomy or in actual, it's gloomy. Lol..

For most of the time, I do not bring my camera along, this is just one rare picture that I'm out at Knutford steps with Eva. We were just saying, we do not have any picture taken together although knowing for 5 years. Took it for granted I suppose, that a phone call would bring us together. :)

Discovery of a cause

2008-11-23T21:38:00.006+08:00

I'm leaving to HK on Weds to just meet my dad. Gosh.. I was told by a friend that I was extremely moody for past few weeks. I never really found out what causes it.

Guess I've found the answer now, because a month ago, I left for Italy for 2 weeks, I wasn't excited at all, I took it as a holiday that I would have every year. I didn't mind to work throughout the whole year without any holidays. But now, I'm so excited just to think of the trip to HK, how relaxing I could be, how I can dump everything aside and leave without worries.

The change of my team, from SA to ANZ, wasn't bad about the jobscope but what i dislike and felt discomfort most is the working hours. From 5am to 2pm or 6am to 3pm instead of the normal 8.30am to 5.30pm! Lunch is at 10am, snack is at 4pm and dinner is at 7pm. Going to bed at 10pm but not falling asleep until 12am and getting up either at 4am or 5am the next day.

Results of the discomfort and irritated me has caused gastric, voiceless, soar throat and others. The extreme change of mood and snapping everybody with a stupid reason.

I'm living in confusion. My career and friendships.
The feeling of distance in everything and I shall leave it as it is.
I'm back in the mood of careless for everything.

*Sorry Zac, didn't mean to ditch you that night, I had gastric and just couldn't go out anymore. I promise I'll call you once I get back k, definitely wouldn't be you discovering I'm back this time! WAhahaha.. Remember to bring me those pics k! ^.^

The Change

2008-11-02T03:30:00.005+08:00

Italy was fun, but very rush and hectic. Extremely beautiful architecture, very different from the other parts of Europe.

Then, they would have the huge, gigantic sculptures for worshiping or just some rich powerful ruler who stamps their physical look on it, right infront of their castles.

And what amazes me most is, some sculptures, which shows one naked guy grabbing a head of another naked body all over the city. Lol.
I've always wonder, what is the different between artist back in the century who calved this, from France, Italy and UK? Do you notice most of the English sculptures are dressed? Whereas the other parts of Europe like them to be 'original' ? Lol. Hm...

Alright! Holiday's over! However, many things have changed since the trip.
My job, my friends, my life!
Apparently, it is pretty screwed up!!

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T15:14:00.003+08:00

When you have crazy people at work, this is what you would see! WAhaha

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

A day... A thought....

2008-10-10T00:06:00.005+08:00

One more day, and I shall enjoy my longest holiday for the year! Wow!

But how come I'm not as excited? Gosh, leaving behind..... guess its good. :)

One, never fails when it is needed;
One, very tempting but knowing it shouldn't be such;
One, promises are meant to be broken;
One, indulged in the comfort;
I'll find out, which is the one that I need most.
WAhahah what am I talking about? Please excuse my insanity!
Well, a day more, I shall leave it! WAhahaha

The embarrasing story

2008-09-25T22:47:00.004+08:00

I’ve been busy with work, since they are not hiring temporary employees. Other than that, I shall say Penang is just boring. Hm.. But luckily time was occupied by friends, who have settled down back in Penang, after years in Canada, US or Australia. Spending most of the days chilling out, playing Wii, enhancing my skills in golf, badminton, heading to Gym, so on so forth.

I haven’t actually sat down and update myself what is happening among my friends. Today, while visiting Vic’s blog, I’ve found my embarrassing story! WAhahahaa . SY & JL, as per request, I do not need to publish, you can read it here.

J Well, It’s been awhile I’ve enter a club in Penang. Hm… hahah KL’s clubs are way better. Ops.

p.s, Dear, I really still can't get over the 'YJ takes bus to work and have to get me after work from BM!' ahahhahahaa, the secret lies beneath right! hahahaha

Trial of Thoughts

2008-08-25T00:11:00.001+08:00

Today , I was inflated by a colleague who loves rejecting on any task or work that she thinks we would need to know what is the exact procedure on all these shit paperwork which suppose to be her job to assist us on it. Great, one day , when i learn what she suppose to do, I shall walk up to her superior and tell her " I think you can fire her, because I can do what she does, you do need an extra manpower just to help do these paperwork, I shall take care of it " .
Good idea huh! WAhahaha

Trial of Thoughts:
9 months..... that brought me joy, tears, fear and faith to view the world in a different angle.
The moments of preseverance --> building a character --> unrestrained gratification !

Shall I?

I'm excited , a weekend in KL again although Vic and 'Adonis' would be heading to Bali, one for a business trip and another for a relaxing vacation! How tempting!
While HF is heading back for M when all of us are gone! HM..
Never mind, 3 more weeks, my turn to go company trip! WAahahaha
and the finale..... tadaaa.....
..
..
..
shall update in future

one of the world's most luxurious automobiles!

launching of patron in malaysia!

2008-08-11T23:01:00.010+08:00

Ok , stole some pictures from Debbie.

The launching of Patron in Malaysia - Sky Bar on 2nd of August 2008.

800 bucks camera & KL

2008-08-04T19:31:00.008+08:00

My KL extravagant trips with Vic, starting from Ikea shopping:

Then One Utama, and dinner at some fancy Japanese looking restaurant.

and more shopping in Pavilion and this is how we ended up when we were leaving KL.

and here are launching Patron at Skybar's picture that I stole from Mike.

Was playing around with my camera which camera maniacs refer said the mechanical sound effect is horrible. But I love the clarity what a 800 bucks camera can do with close up pictures.

Best wedding event!

2008-07-16T22:25:00.010+08:00

Last weekend was the best weekend I had so far recently. Flew down to Singapore with slight fever. Slept whole of Friday in the hotel instead of shopping.

It is one of my mum's god sister' biggest family gathering.

Wonderfully organized, it was my the best wedding event I have ever attended.
My Cousins - Clement & Charissa

They had a family 'hangout' at Clement's place on Friday, but missed out, as I was sleeping back in the hotel. Wahah. The Saturday began with the wedding ceremony at church, then a buffet lunch, continuing with the traditional "yum cha" session at both's home.

The 'Lee' family then headed down the road for Chili Crab! WAhaha. Yum Yum and us, the 3rd generation, headed to St'James for drinks!

*note: if you were to visit any psychologist, it is not guarantee that when the Dr is drunk, he/she would not provide any jokes or laughter regarding his/her patients to others. Wahahah

All pictures of the night was requested to be sensored. So... hm..

SSHHH! I did not say that! wahahaha

On Sunday, the dinner was held at the Regent, beginning with a cocktial party and the food was very good indeed. Well, I shall say it was an excellent event overall! The joke for the night is, my dad brought his waist band, his bow tie, his dress shirt but forgot to bring his tux top! WAhahaha Must have grown old! So forgetful! WAhaha (I don't have the pictures yet, would post up when I get them)

Disclosing the closet

2008-07-08T22:36:00.004+08:00

Sorry mates, as I was trying not to blog, not to log on facebook as I was trying to run away from that little arrow - I'm so tempted to 'click' on each particular icon when I see it! I rather not update myself on what's happening! Wahah, partly also because I can't think of something to blog about. Hahahaa, but there is something today.

Since somebody ppk me for Maldives because of Bali with XX. Hm...I'm gonna blog about this.
The crazy woman who is lucky not to be Mrs Gates! Wahahaha..
Look at these soos!! and it's not all yet! Wait till one day I sneak in and take a picture of all of them first. Oh yea, I should also disclose the pictures of Snuffy's soos too! WAhahaha.
(Since you already blog about it, Wahahah. I'm not disclosing any of your secrets! )
Darling, if you were Mrs Gates, please do not spend a Ferrari on Manolos yeah! Lol..

Oh yea, Happy Birthday KZ!! Since there is no sale for LV, are you pampering yourself with another LV soo for yourself as a birthday present? WAhahah

An uncomplish mission!

2008-07-06T02:19:00.006+08:00

I've been back in Penang nearly 9 months for now. Did I make the right decision? 'Forgoing' everything in NZ, the opportunity to explore China or HK for a few years before settling down back home? Vic use to warn me, that I should not regret what I've chose. As for herself, she is now contemplating of moving back to Aussie with JW. Hm... contrasting isn't?

Many have said, I'm still young, and still have lots more to venture, it's true. As for myself, I've just lived pass the quarter of my life span or maybe more. I won't be expecting vast changes in next 4 or 5 years. Nevertheless, the tremendous change, from a high school girl, college student to a working woman, Penang, Palmy, Auckland and Aus left me wonderful yet horrifying memories and experiences. Guess I've enough for the mean time.
Shall just cruise through while I can!
Moaning about the boring lifestyle of Penangites, I shall repeat my crazy schedule 8 months ago. Getting abroad for every alternate weekends! Wahaha!

1st stop- KL with Vic

Sorry for not posting the other crazy videos as they are too long. But here is one stupid one, that I believe on Vic & I would laugh at it! Wahaha! Don't have to scratch your head if you do not understand.

2nd stop - Singapore
A trip which I'm looking forward to, for Clement & Charissa's wedding. The posh black tie event, chilling, catching up sessions with HF, WZ and some other buddies and the clubs!

3rd stop - Austria/ Japan
4th stop - Singapore with Vic & Silvie ?
5th stop - Maldives with Vic
6th stop - KL ?
7th - Yet to decide!
By then, it is the end of the year sale from PC fairs, and I believe I do not have any annual leaves left! Wahahaha!

A day before Kentze left.

2008-06-19T19:57:00.004+08:00

Updated pictures from the last day Vic, AY, WC and I to spent with Kentze before he leaves for London the On Tuesday. Wahah. We ended up at Auto city because WC and Kentze resides over the other side of the shore, BM and it is always them traveling an hour to meet us at Gurney or in Penang island.

This time, we chose some Korean restaurant! Lol... Vic and AY have to work on that day while WC and I had a day off from the replacement of PH the day before. Well, as usual, Vic doesn't like to be alone with her heels, hence told me to either bring her slippers or dress up! WAahaha.. I ended up dressing with just shirt & shorts plus slippers, BUT, I forgot to bring her, her slippers! wAHAahaha.. how bad! Actually I don't think it makes a difference.
After the meal, we ended up cam whoring, starting with the serious poses.

Then, we were a little bored, so I started to fool around.

After a little while, Vic got the hang of it, and let it all out!! Waahahaa!
Look at this! Gosh!

--- THE END ---

Laughter - the best medicine !

2008-06-17T22:39:00.005+08:00

During college life, the word 'procrastinate' is used quite often.

When I'm suppose to finish of my report work, or study for my finals, instead,

I'm chatting with friends or do something else.

Whereas, after college, it is not used in my life anymore.
Whenever there are things needed to be done, there is no point of dragging it,

completing it asap is a must.
Well, at least i was practicing it for the past eight months.

Stress:

Stress use to be, not scoring in my papers, rushing for my assignments,

wining at tournaments, the 'back to school' syndromes.
Presently, stress occurs mostly revolves of work, family and friendships.

While working in ME.
Stress is just about the load of homework that you would have to complete before the start of the next day. The worries that I would have to be home latest at 10pm to do it, as by 12am, I could finish off my day and start off a great day at work. Stressing of not getting the sales, getting screwed by our crazy directors, forcing us to stand all day to work!

While releasing stress is just hanging out with colleagues to have a drink at

Northam beach and drink till we're all overly excited! WAhah.

Then I've moved to D. Where I'm placed in the cust care dept, started off doing just delivery cases, pc fair cases, then slowly, the missing, wrong and damage cases and then escalation cases. Unlike ME, it is stress-free once I step out of the office building. However, it is really a depressing job, where customer shouts at you most of the time, where you can't argue back. When there is PC fair, I'll get that 12 hours a day continuously!

By the time I'm driving home, I'm just expression-less and lost.

Then, there were the problematic friendships, which would never ends. Somebody getting back stab, somebody gossiping about somebody, somebody betraying somebody, can never finish with all sorts of stories. Are these considered childish? I believe it would still occur even you're 80 years old. Hence, how would we categorize these?

At the mean time, we shall leave these here then. Wahah!

Laughter, is the best medicine!

Hence, most of the days, my only enjoyment is to join my group of crackpot buddies, that comes out with meaningless conversations, cockamamie ideas, laughing and joking all night long!

I've also notice a change in my character. From a girl that rarely talks, barely knows what is upset and depress about, to someone that is easily annoyed, frustrated, upset and angry of little things that happens. Which I doubt it's a good thing.

**I wonder how long more could I last before I burst and enter another dimension that may be different as being said to be 'normal'.
Hm.. what am I talking about? Neither do i really know! Wahahaha! **

Learning another lesson.

2008-06-16T00:10:00.004+08:00

After years, standing aloof, at last I'm back to normal. I believe I've overcame my 'phobia'! WAhaha
(Thought I may be considered weird at a point)

Learning another lesson:
Is it important to set the correct expectation?

From business terms, setting correct expectation is extremely important.
However, in our life, would it matter? I've learn that it doesn't. It is true that I've made a mistake for not setting a correct expectation at start, however, even if it's wrong, would it make a difference for a conclusion? The answer is NO. I would still ended up to be what my situation is for now.

Does it really matter? To begin something with a correct expectation set?

Us, humans, having a exquisite, subtle and malleable mind,

this may not be applicable to most of the situation.

From my personal point of view, understanding the situation clearer in time to come,

regardless of any expectation set, it shouldn't affect.

If one is expecting a correct expectation set from the beginning and

is sure that it would definitely not change the future,

kindly inform me if there is really such an ideal situation that has happened.

Because at the moment, I could only think of being a physical item, like any product, with a lifetime warranty, could be expected to perform how it should be from the day that you have bought.

Kindly, note that I'm a human, not a product, I do not have a ISO9001 labelled on me, I do not have a lifetime warranty to guarantee a promise or vow made on the 1st day would never change for my life!

I've learn, not to set any expectation in future,
to avoid miscommunication,
to avoid all sorts of complications!

Guessing game is always the best. The thrill that triggers the adrenalin in one's hormones would definitely excite one, and to make it an exciting experience for all.

As said from Sherry Argov, Why Men Love Bitches!

Congrats Bob! You've found the love of your life!

2008-06-15T16:20:00.006+08:00

Congratulations Bob! Finally, settling down, marrying the love of your life!

I miss that year of craziness we had back then. The enjoyment and outings that I've aways look forward to. The days where I 'discover' that you were following right behind when I travelled home from uni, surprising me with the look when you live 40 minutes away and tells me that you're passing by, hence drop by! What a stupid excuse! Hahahaa.... Knocking my window, half drunk at 4.30am and apologizing. The lighting sambucas, rows and rows of vodkas, the absinthes, the Evos, the crazy nights in clubs, and the cigarette mark that you left on me. The one night that you lost 18k in an hour! The food fetish we had for Japanese restaurants! Lol... The crazy ex-gf of yours! The crazy bet we had on the roof top of your office!

Well, I'm grateful to have known you too, being a caring friend,
that is always there for me for everything,
the 1st and last person I'll see while stepping foot to NZ.

The person who gave me a chance, to drift at Taupo, to learn how to do burnouts and entering our records into NZ police dept! WAHAHAHA! The one who gave me a chance to feel what it's like to drive cars like DB9 down to cars like Colt! Days when I laugh at your crazy collections of Evo 1 to 9 but dumping it just there! What a crazy Mitsu fan! Ehem... I still remember you trying to kill my car while I'm not around and squeezing 6 people in it!! Arghh!!

All the best, shall see you when you're back home!

weekend outings

2008-06-15T03:20:00.005+08:00

Changing back to my 'normal' weekend lifestyle after months of being dull, ditching everybody till no one would calls me anymore and i've been running away from everything!

I'm doom to a crazy woman who parties i guess. After work, went for drinks with wc & yen at Queensbay as each of us live pretty far from work place. Hence, spending 2 hours with tea and laughter is so much better than 2 hours in the car, as my usual traffic-jam-walkie-talkie, vic, is away for the weekend with her hubby! Then later on, met up with
SM, SB, Joceline and Adrian for Heineken extra cold at UPR!

Well, we shall be back to normal! Lol.

Hm... today.... did nothing whole afternoon as Jocelyn PPK me again, well, as she is back from KL and just spending 2 days in PG, we shall meet another day instead.

And it began, crazy Morgan, Ian and others bought me beers!! We drank before the paint ball game that starts at 8pm! Gosh.... don't ever drink and play in such a weather,
it makes you feel like throwing out!

Haha. after drinking, and lasting 3 hours for a game, I was exhausted,
headed home and decided not to join those guys for drinks at UPR,
went to have a sweet time catching up with some decent friends! Lol...

flashback

2008-06-14T01:56:00.000+08:00

Not mentioning high school days, shall have a look from my college days!

WAhahahaha! Spent the cheapest yet the best holiday I've ever had with my friends in Redang for 3 days and becoming an 'indian' looking woman around college for the next half a year.

Then my uni years in NZ. Spending most of my time in labs, frisbee, badminton, crazy hostel life and....

Continuing the chapters of excitement for the next three years in Palmerston North.
Riding round the wind farm, driving 40 minutes to visit the beach, catching crabs during winter, freezing ourselves in mud with rugby games, visiting the fireflies caves, bungy jumping, water rafting, flying fox, skiing, rock climbing, racing down no.4 highway, drinking from 6pm onwards till next morning, partying straight through, and sorts of nonsense.

and moved to Auckland, where party life started to be different than the usual kiwi blokes drinking session.

Well, life is NZ is fun when it comes to extreme games, but when it comes to friendship. Hm..
Dave, Mike, Vela, David, William, WZ, and many more. Thanks for leaving me a deep memory for the 5 years I've been there that I'll never forget.

kenzie's night out

2008-06-09T23:15:00.003+08:00

Kenzie is back in town for 2 weeks, continuously we were out for every Monday for dinner and drinks. However, this year, Su Chuen and Hsiao Fen is not here to join our yearly meeting at Segas!

We had dinner at G hotel last Monday and headed to Segas. Today, we headed to Auto city since Wen Chern and Kenzie lives in BM. The korean restaurant (forgot it's name) is not bad at all!

The full set of picture is posted up at facebook. Kindly refer to it yourself. Hehe...
Pictures from tonight aren't ready yet, hence would post it later.

*sob sob*, Kenzie is leaving on Wednesday! All the best! Good to hear that you'll begin your career at Barclays! We missed you! *Hugz*
Shall keep in touch with the email loops! Wahaha!

Prioritizing What is Important in My Life

2008-06-07T09:17:00.010+08:00

The 7am Routine

I really hate this! Falling asleep at 4am, yet waking up at 7am! Without my alarm clocks! Argh.... It seems that I'm full of energy, regardless what time I went to sleep the night before. But I'm sure by 11am, I'll be yawning and lying dead on my bed again!

Yesterday night, an incident that *smacks* me right on my face and made me realize,

What Are The Things That I Should Prioritize in My Life!

I do apologize my dear friends, I didn't mean to disappear for this past few weeks and ditch you guys last night when everyone is there for once and I'm not. Which was really a big mistake. I shall prioritize my family, my work and my trusted friends right in front of anything else from this moment onwards. 9pm at the same place? No problem! Not to worry people, there isn't anymore excuses to turn it down! I do admit that I've been a nincompoop cum idiot for past few weeks. Don't worry, I've learn my mistake.

Sacrifices are only to be made when it is worthwhile for!

Shall go back to my discipline scheduled of 7am to 12am life for weekdays, striving for performance at work, having a good rest, planning my life right ahead to dream becoming the next Meg Whitman, enjoy every single moment of my weekends and Live life to the fullest!

Party is on tonight Adrian! Matt, you better fetch me home if I'm in a 'total lost' condition! WAHhhaahahaaaa! Here comes the Partay!!!

saturday night at bed!

2008-06-01T23:39:00.009+08:00

*article below has jargons meant for known readers only*

It was a crazy Saturday for me, spending 6 hours for 'games' and dinner

for team building at the beach at Naza hotel. I'm exhausted!

Followed by a night out with my lovely girlfriends, Hsiao Fen came back,
the 'wall' is moving, the 'carpet' is flying,
hence its great! (women, you do know what i'm saying right? hahaha)

Well, as I was late from the team building event so An Yen and
others came and get me after they visited Vic's new mansion.
We headed to Alis as Vic did not had her dinner as she was waiting
for me to finish mine to accompany her!

Then we headed to Bed,
started off nicely, with women cam whoring!

and the accidental shots by our 'unprofessional' photographer

as time goes by, we were intrigued by our 'topic' of conversations that triggers crazy actions.

then we have the weird looking An Yen as she had 'hands' rushing over to help her out

then the innocent 'wall' cheered up when her 'paint' came over to colored it

and ended the night when the 'carpet' has to turn back to a clock when its 12am
hahahahaaha

&

Kenzie is back!!! Hooray! Lol. I'm anticipating the dinner with Vic, Kenzie and another friend, cam whoring again in our private little room at Miraku with the fashion freaks!
and heading to Segas after that for the yearly reunion picture with the others!
WAHAHAHAHAHA
would keep you guys updated with the pictures soon.....

"loyalty" and "relationship"

2008-05-25T23:08:00.006+08:00

"Just because you have a relationship with a customer, don't assume they're loyal to you!"
In business, the terms "loyalty" and "relationship" are always carelessly used in an interchangeable way to apparently mean the same thing.

I truly believe in this, it is not only applicable in marketing, but also in every interactive unity!

Baxter has illustrated the second form of unity, which the complexity of social life is found that the act of being loyal to one relationship partner or to one facet of the relationship with the partner simultaneously enacts disloyalty to other relationships in one's social network or the other facets of relationship with one's partner. Which the most frequent enactment of loyalty and disloyalty grows out of the fact that we only have so many hours in each day. In being loyal by spending time with one relationship partner, we simultaneously position ourselves to be disloyal to others in our social network because we cannot spend time with them. Thus, loyalty and disloyalty go hand in hand in this instance.

Hence, "loyalty" & "relationship" would be categorize under a level of loyal or emotional connection to define what a person take it as. When the day when you feel the rest of your world feels distinctly dull, maybe you have some growing to do and a lusty affair offers a welcome diversion. On the other hand, to put yourself in an 'exclusive' manner and slowly, lead to a promise, a pledge or a vow. Towards this, it would just simply involves managing the risks inherent in attempting any new endeavor.

My belated Bday present!

2008-05-24T18:48:00.006+08:00

Nearly a month later, I've received my birthday gift from Vic!!!

WAHAHahahaahahaha

Guess what she has bought me!

Tadaaaaaaa

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

a Mimco Wallet!!!

But!! On the other hand, the lousy me, can't think of anything to buy her!
Sigh, lets just blame because this is Penang!!!

I ended up buying her a few pints of Haagen- Daazs to
stack up in her fridge for her home movie session!
Sigh.....

Hm.... but I guess thats better than Andrew, Abby & Soon Yang's present for me!
Which wants me to smell old!!!
*I'm just joking*
They're nice too... ehehehehe.

And the present from my parents which I love most!
Simply because I chose it myself! hahahah

Da Evidenza..

blogging at work!

2008-05-22T11:24:00.000+08:00

Wahah! Blogging at work again.. hm...

It's Thursday already! Hooray, one more working day before an arrival of a weekend! Lol.

Hm... I shall start planning, but always ended up doing nothing.

Any suggestion?

June is just round the corner... Sigh, PC fair again, there goes my freeeeeedom!!

But the good news is, Kenzie would be back, SY would be back, everyone would be back! WAhahaha!

Ok, I shall take Abby's suggestion and pretend to work hard so that I could get a pay rise! haha

Wesak Day!

2008-05-19T21:12:00.004+08:00

This is an important date for a Buddhist, of course, I did pay a visit to the temple with my parents. However, the procession thingy which is going on from 6-11pm, is something that I'm never interested at to have a look as I've been once and it is super packed! Never like to be in a huge crowd like these events. Lol...

What an unproductive day, went to temple, fetch my dad to the airport, drop by a friends place and then went jogging and stayed home since then... Should have just went to work for the 400 bucks when not much work is to be done. Hm... never mind...

HOoray! Vic is back! Hehehehee! But ops... I still haven't got her Birthday present yet! Sigh... lazy pig! I'll get it soon.....

Such a great weekend!!

2008-05-18T10:26:00.003+08:00

This is a great weeekend!!! Well, mostly because I am suppose to work tomorrow but I am not attending!!! HAhaha.... and thinking of my team building.. gosh.. postponed from today ,to next Saturday and now its next next Saturday!!! Lousy planners... sigh.

Watched What Happens in Vegas on Thursday and it's great movie, something to fill me with laughter! Really did enjoy it! Next is gonna be... Narnia!! Yea.... and Vic is coming back! I shall drag her there with me! Lol... Had a great night catching up with HF yesterday as she is back for the long weekend. But Hf.. you really have to calm down and not crashing through 20 years of age wall gap!!

The 'waking up early in the morning thing' is in me now, guess its aging, as even going to bed at 4am, its happening!! i woke up at 9!!! ..... and a trial of thoughts flow passed.

Many have said, I'll miss my 5 years life back in uni, I'll miss NZ. Hm... as a matter of fact, not at all! I do not miss the place, I do not miss the people, neither do I miss the uni life! Although, presently I'm pack with work, which takes up like 10 to 14 hours of my day, having only a handful of friends who mostly aren't free to entertain me as well, haha, I'm contented and I know it would at least take me 10 more years before I would pay a visit to that cowland! lol...

The only moments of thoughts that I'm amazed is the change of the cycle of life, where people became acquaintances, then friends, then buddies, then partners, and now, a whole big family!

Congrats James and Sylvia! I apologize for not attending your wedding which is half the globe away. Best wishes to both of you!

blogging at work!

2008-05-15T15:44:00.003+08:00

Haa..... I'm blogging at work !! It's not that I have nothing to do. Well as a matter of fact, I do not have calls coming in now, but I cannot make outbound calls, hence I need to wait till later to finish the work that is needed to be done! Hahaha.

With this condition... Where this company blocks everything! Chatbox, most of the websites but I'm lucky to be able to read news and also blog! haha

Something that I would be drooling for... especially when I'm doing nothing and browsing through web like now!

Patek Philippe Twenty~4
Item No: Patek2097
Model #: 4914G / 4914 G
Ultra thin quartz movement.Case, dial and attachment set with 169 diamonds - 0.92 cts. Alligator strap pearly white. Water resistant to 25 m.

Selling at a price which is 1/3 of a Mini! Hm... shall I buy this or buy a Mini? Obviously a Mini but to reach that target, it may take 20 years! hhahahaa....

Wondering..

2008-05-12T22:53:00.003+08:00

What a great start. It's Monday and work's fine! Lol...
After dinner, Abby, Drew, SY and me went to batu ferringhi to buy some DVDs, but sigh.... there must be a raid, nothing is open!!! saddening...

Wondering...
I wonder where would I be in 2 years time.
I wonder, when can I earn enough to buy my Mini. But obviously in Dell, i won't get there unless I'm the APJ MD! Lol.. Or I'm stupid enough to spend 2k a month on loan just to buy a car and need to spend yearsss before I even touch my down payment for a house.
I wonder am I going to stay in Salween Road for all my life?
I wonder, who are my buddies?
I wonder, who are my future family?
I wonder how people sees me , what kind of person am I to them as I do care about what I am.
I wonder what happens next! hahahaa....

i wanna go for a holiday!!!

2008-05-11T20:18:00.002+08:00

I wanna go for a holiday!!!! Hm.. suppose to be in KL this coming weekend but my dad is coming back, and I have team building on Sat, hence trip is cancelled. I'm going down to Singapore on mid of July, hm. I shall continue my flight to somewhere else huh.... where should I visit?? I was thinking Taiwan, haha, a place where I have not been.

Happy birthday Vic! Sob Sob.... Don't get to celebrate it with you here. Well. I'm sure you're most happy to be in Melbourne with your darling! Lol... *Hugz*

what shall I do?

2008-05-10T14:59:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was my lucky day, the one and only day since I've started working, I left work at 5.30pm sharp!! WAhhaaha! At last, we're off the busy season till early June when next PC fair starts again... Lets enjoy every moment till then.. hehehe....

On a Saturday afternoon, I'm doing nothing! Lol.... my buddies are all busy! One left to Sydney, one left to KL, one busy working and others disappeared somewhere. Hm.... and I'm suppose to be at Gurney now buying something for someone as requested but i'm so lazy to move, especially with the jams around town. Lol...

Lets see. Hm... what am I gonna do next? I guess I shall go hugz my bolster and have a nap until further notice given! Lol....

relieved..

2008-05-06T21:51:00.003+08:00

Such a great Tuesday, my team is back on full force with 11 people , and there is a newbie !! Hooray! Nice. great learner! Love him! Haahha... soon the force would be increased till 12!

Vic!!! Can you keep your mails to be 'public friendly' ??? argh.... I have a newbie next to me all day looking and learning what I do and you send me private mails which are not meant to be read! Ohh my.. he was laughing with way off.... *faint*

I am relieved-
.. although I am still leaving the office at 8.30pm but these are the days where I can finish off slowly instead of stressing through all day!
... days where I don't have to worry about anything anymore! WAhahahahaa! everything is clearly explain and sorted out... yeah! I'm set freeeeee!!! Wahaha.. no more rumours, no more quarrels, nothing else is to be worried about!

hm.... lets think about what to do this weekend when vic is not around ! hahaaha

Monday nights

2008-05-05T22:08:00.003+08:00

I'm dead tired ... what an exhausted Monday night.... hahaa..

Ha.. last week was fun, went to watch movies with Vic, had some drinks with abby and friends and Yen is back! lol.... but Vic is leaving to Sydney on Wednesday... sob sob... then back to the lonesomes days ..

Tues..Wed..Thurs..Fri... wow... 4 more days..

Hm. I notice i'm so unhealthy... days where I exercise an average 4 tijmes a week to now, once in 4 months! hahaha. bad bad... stamina is horrible, how unfit. Wonder shall I go back to my routine again..lol....

friday night...

2008-04-26T01:26:00.002+08:00

Ha... got off work about 7.30pm today and hooray! There starts my weekend! Lol.... After dinner, I went to batu ferringhi with Vic and she ended up buying tones of movies which would last her the next half a year. We then both decided to head down to belissa row, and I ended up meeting some colleagues there which I don't quiet understand why are they sitting there with their laptops, when they face the com for more than 8 hours a day already.. Hm.. Lol..

Hm.... wondering whats up tomorrow. Oh yea, Siew Yen!!! CONGRATSSsSS!!! How do you wish newly weds? Em.. Happy Wedding Day?? ahahaa.

peaceful sunday!

2008-04-20T14:20:00.004+08:00

I went to watch the Forbidden Kingdom yesterday and... it was horrible! Don't know what sort of crap story line it was by adding all sorts of chinese historical characters into it, plus with sort of the idea from Lord of the Rings where Frodo is the keeper to send the ring as a mission. Sigh...

Last night, QE2 had the Hennessy Artistry 2008 with DJ Andrew K, DJ Keri and VJ Callen, quite good but the crowd was disappointing, mostly people who are above 40s and late 20s ladies, and one table with aunts which looks like some sexy 20s ladies dressing but turn out to be about in their 60s already!!! My gooooodnesssss, that really spoils my day! Lol..

and later today, I'm going to meet Vic for dinner and AY after dinner as the bday party was cancelled. Hehe! Great! Welcome home Yen! All the best for your job hunting!

2008-04-19T01:20:00.005+08:00

Just came back from a movie with Vic, the Tattooist! Hmm...it is a New Zealand product and it is not good! Vic and I was merely enjoying, it was so boring for the 1st hour and subsequently it began to capture our attention and interest to it but hm... still quite lousy.

After that, while fetching Vic home, there were bunch of people standing on the roadside watching 2 satria racing up and down a 200 metre road! Sigh... according to a friend, this would be people who lives life to the cheapest! hahaa....

I'm looking for tomorrow, as I'm going to watch the Forbidden Kingdom!! Hooray, hope it's nice.
Then..... not sure what I'm going to do after that.

Yea.. at last! A relaxing weekend after a whole week of 13 hour work time each day!! Suppose to be working tomorrow but uhum.. I'm not going! Hah!

Lets enjoy!!! Join the crowd!!! Live life to the fullest!!! How I wish I'm Bill Gates and fullest really do mean something then... hahahaah

Kiasu, Kiasi, Kiamsiap and Kialang !!!

2008-04-13T23:24:00.006+08:00

It is 11.52pm and I'm reluctant to jump on bed to have a good night rest. Mondays.... I never like Mondays.... the days where we get lots of calls, lots of crazy people. This job is kinda demotivating, I'm most happy to help those that are really in trouble or have a faulty computer, but most (80%) of the callers, calls in, because they know by complaining of crap stuff like "your service is horrible, your quality is bad, your this and that is no good", and to treasure your customer relationship with us, we spend time to solve your so call 'issues'. To think about it, if your saying it's so bad, why didn't you buy some other brands?? For those who compares us with other, why don't you buy them instead of us? Why buy us and complain? and when you get your 'compensation', you're happy again? Is that a quality issue? or because of your own greed? Please, people, stop calling us because of your greed, leave the line free for those who are in trouble and can reach us when they need us instead of waiting 70 minutes on the line to get us.

Well, many things are caused by some 'smarties' who wrote in forums with inaccurate datas and causes all the 'woo ha'. The definition of 'smarties' here is for the people who are smart enough to obtain a wee bit of the data (<50%) correct! Sigh... then the 'woo ha gang' would waste 70 minutes a day or several days, complaining to us when we actually can't help them on their 'woo ha' issue.

Thais are nice people, they'll call in, and even we are in the wrong, they would apologize first, and beg us to fix the problem for thm. How I wish I could speak Thai and I could serve the Thais instead of these Kiasu, Kiasi, Kiamsiap and Kialang people!! (I'll make sure I'm not one of them! Hahaha)

what to blog about??

2008-04-08T23:54:00.003+08:00

hm.... I was wondering what to blog about, but obviously, I won't be as exciting as tim who blogs about everything and eric who blogs about daily life, it's not that i don't want to , but just because i do not have much things to say about and my life is just a repetitive weekly cycled' schedule

This whole week was a great week at work, not much cases, but there is a Malaysian PC fair this weekend, and goodness, some parts like batteries, where the world is suffering from batteries shortage, is going to put me in big trouble for the next 2 months! The estimated calls one week after PC fair is to be 2450!!!! Goodnesssssss!!! There is only 8 of us, please don't kill us...
" Dear buyers, please don't kill us, you are told to that there is a shortage for estimated 2 months delivery date, don't come and blame us and not tell you, there is a worldwide shortage of batteries now! "

Sitemeter - it's an interesting meter that tracks my reader, i was wondering, who is this new south wales person who reads my blog daily.
" hi mr/miss nsw, how r u doing? hows my blog? hm.. come, reveal yourself. " hahahaa...

Weekends!! My favourite days of the week! 3 more days to go! Hm... lets plan folks! hahaha

uhum..

2008-04-05T16:00:00.002+08:00

Hm.... after ditching a few friends for an occasion, which i suppose to spend my night waiting for my "buddies" , they ditch me too..... sigh.. nvm.....

its saturday! a day that i dun have to work! lol.... i'm going to........ duno..... so... whats the plan tonight people? hahahahaa don't worry, i shall honour my words to give u a call after dinner... see what happens then. lol.... lalalalala. i went crazy.. weekends are great!

wednesday night!!!

2008-04-02T22:00:00.004+08:00

Wednesday night, 2 more days to friday!!! Hooray!!!

I'm so excited!

Why?

Well, partly because today is one day that i left at 6.30pm from work,

instead of 8/9pm for more than 3 weeks!

Haha!!! and tomorrow i get to sneak out for training for 4 hours! Hooray!!

and I see something funny coming up tomorrow.

I'm hoping the trainer won't shout at me going

"Yi Jun! Aren't you suppose to be solving your cases! Why are u sitting here with the newbies?"

when I , may reply

"Sumir! I have only gone through a 2 and 1/2 hour training instead full 2 weeks when I came because you guys just chuck me in the queue when you are in need of people!"

"I'm a newbie as well!!! I want to go for training!! "

or
alternatively

"Yi Jun! Why are you here? I've just drafted out the lightning report with the legal adviser, please get out and follow up with your case!"

birds of feather flocks together!

2008-03-22T03:08:00.004+08:00

Had a terrible week at work, sales error but doesn't want to approve for concession for customer, then a local courier company that is our vendor which has 2 dumb employees, hm.. maybe thats because they have a stupid MD! (Not more than 20 employees, excluding drivers) Guess what reply I've got from the 2 dumb employees. I have highlighted an important issue in an email that would have a big exclamation mark next to it, as an important email, yesterday (as i was working even though its a public holiday), so that, early morning on the next day (today), they would have seen it.

Guess what's the answer, they asked me, what shall they do, when its 2pm, I've replied them with the attached email that I've sent yesterday to inform stop shipment which is due to ship out at 4pm. THEN, the best part is, One came back and said she hasn't got that email, Another came with a reply of "fyi, i wasn't working yesterday as it is a public holiday" !

Wow!!!!!! NO wonder they would remain this position forever, well, guess the stupid MD isn't smart enough to find out what their mistake was. Now that i notice, they actually got a fantastic server that could filter and reject all emails that is received on a public holiday! Or... they might have some policy stated that employees do not have to cover cases and issues received prior 9am the day after a public holiday.

*POLICY VII: do not have to read or reply to any emails sent prior 9am for the working day after a public holiday. Definition of work to be done: things that has been assign to you from 9am to 5pm on a working day basis.*

WHAT A LOVELY COMPANY!!! Anyone who agrees with the policy above shall JoiN the Company Of tHe Same BREED of BIRd!!!!! Inform me, I shall guide you through each and every step of the process for filling in the application form for job offered of that company!

HM.. i'm actually not as angry now, hehe..... went out and have a drink with abby and drew.. sort of calm down already.... Lol...

hm...

2008-03-20T22:25:00.002+08:00

I was wondering... what should I blog about ? My life is really free at the moment, rumour free! haahaha.... everyday, all I do is go to work, come home and go to sleep, once a while, go have some drinks with drew, abby and friends! Hence..... I got nothing to blog about tooo!!! haaha..

Job.. .hm.... you meet interesting people... but mostly dumb, when they make a mistake, they blame its yours especially Singaporeans, damm kiasu, kiasi and kiamsiap!!! Hahahha.....
Then u meet the salesmen.... the most horrible idiots in the world.... as usual, i use to be in sales... i understand, but when your in corporate sales, and you don't have to bear about after service, thats the most terrible people in the 'salesman world'!

mum.... still menopausing..... let her be. i shall gooo tooo shhleeeeep. hah! goodnight everyone! Sweet dreamssss....

its only a monday....

2008-03-17T22:33:00.002+08:00

aiyoooooo ... tmr need to be at work at 7.45! argh....... and have to work on thurs too... *faint*

hm..... hehehehe. should plan for my weekend!!! any plans anyone? lol....

choice of two?

2008-03-15T12:31:00.005+08:00

There are two choices apparently right infront which is applicable for every case.

Lately, my mum has found this excuse for grounding me, which is the riots , which she said that may cause a danger, however, it's just crap! She herself is going out, marketing, shopping, visiting the temple, dinner , so on so forth, but when it comes to me. I am not allowed to go out, it is dangerous and all sorts of nonsense. Then, lately, she is fond with this phrase "Apparently, you're one that who doesn't love home!" and blast it out whenever i tell her i'm going out. So.. there is also 2 choice. Walk out straight or go to sleep.

Next thing is, do all mums have a menopause period? Everyday, before going to work at 7am, my mum would nag and scold, 'why didn't u do this, do that, where da hell you put this put that' , at work, although its fine, but as a customer care agent or an agent for expressing dissatisfaction, i take complains from 8am to 6pm and continuation of 'dissatisfaction of goods or services' emails till god knows what time. When i'm home, mum gives me a black face and start nagging again. So here we are, two choices again -walk out straight or go to sleep.

Another case would be, two fellas. one... who doesn't give a shit and understand what everything is all about other than blaming me some stupid sort of crap which I don't even know what exactly is the story is and always ended up in 'disappointment' state that I could not do anything than calm and be nice, but is the one whom i'm interested at, or ..... one..... who cares so much, lovely and nice.... but is one whom i'm fine with but not as interested.... however, in this case, i guess i could only choose one?

I seems to be ending up in a situation for two weeks now, starting with waking up, mum nagging s and scoldings, walk out straight to work, taking complains till about 8pm ish, (can't complain much on my job as that is what i work as), stuck in jams, be home about 8.30pm and mum nags again, come online, fella blames, people trying to sabotage friendships by trying to bitch about everywhere and have to take all the shit, luckily, i do have nice buddies to enjoy crap with me, however, i can't go out to meet them, hence i go to sleep.

Thats my life for past 2 weeks, hope its better soon, but guess not, wonder when would it end .....
Sigh...... and see what sort of situation i'm going to end up with by picking the right choice from now...

Penang UMNO!

2008-03-15T12:20:00.003+08:00

Haha... an interesting email that is circulating .. have a look!

Penang Umno will recommend to the Federal Government to stop all proposed mega projects in the state, include those planned under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), the second Penang Bridge, the light monorail transit system, the Penang Outer Ring Road, the Penang Sentral and the RapidPenang bus service.
State Umno secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim said the previous Gerakan-led state government had worked together with the federal government to bring all sorts of development to Penang .

"Since the people have clearly rejected development and made their choice for a change, we will recommend to the federal government to cancel all such projects. Don't blame us for this," he said after a state liaison committee meeting here today.

******Brainless UMNO!! That's not your project! That's not your money! It's belong to all the Malaysian!! Does he knows who gets hurt? All these projects were awarded to UMNO cronies. Grow up old man…!!!!! Your proposals are so immature.

being oblivious is running away?

2008-03-11T22:30:00.002+08:00

Why humans are so complicated? Hm...... Apparently someone mentioned that being oblivious means I'm running away. Hm.... Let it be... Guess thats why god only gave us one pair of eyes which we can look utmost of 220 degrees instead of having 2 pairs which covers 360 degrees. But does it mean that knowing one side, we can estimate or guess whats right behind us? Isn't ignoring it better?

Working life has been great, starting at 8am and leaving at 8.30pm isn't bad too, however, I' m always exhausted by 9. Apparently, thats just me, the norms should be still very energetic and cheerful by then. Well... guess I better exercise more and sleep more instead of having some fun time crapping with friends!! ahahahaahhaha... ops.... gone crazy again.... what tooo dooo.....

the grounded days..

2008-03-09T21:51:00.006+08:00

Yesterday was the "VOTING DAY" for all Malaysians to determine the rulers of their home area the state and the country. Penang had a tsunami results, opposition is ruling for the first time in history for this state. Many top guns have lost , including our 'beloved' PM Dr.Koh! Lol....

However, because of the shocking results, trigger the fighting part between the 2 parties. There weren't any victory parade, everyone stayed home, afraid that any riots which could happen which may cause a launch of state of emergency, then poll results aren't counted anymore. Which my mum is one of them, sooo afraid that if Penang island declared a curfew area, we are in trouble, hence i was grounded at home for 2 full daysS!!!!!! Luckily abby, drew and woon hong are nice enough to bring mahjong to my house and had a few games for these 2 days, if not, i guess you could harvest at least a kilo of mushrooms of me already! Phew....

It's really a shocking news though.. wonder how Penang is going to survive for this 4 years. What would happen? What could happen? What is next?

Sigh.. next is... i guess birds of feather flocks together... why do people love adding salt and pepper on things, can't it be plain and nice? Geez......... These bird flu is really infecting many, causing lots of problems! Better sit and home and do nothing! SAFE & SOUND IT IS!!! hahaah.

the most boring day at work!

2008-03-06T16:00:00.002+08:00

Everybody is rushing in my team, as Singapore PC fair is open today, at 12pm at Suntec City, however, i'm on the team of 4, care line for that. Sigh.. however, there are no calls yet to be recieved so far! Its soooooo boring! Have sat here since 12 and can't do anything else except wait. I really do hate not having any work to do! and I hate this blurdy server that blocks practically EVERYTHING, hence I could even surf the net! Sigh..

Abby is back! Vic is no longer under "MIA" mode as Jun Wen went to Sydney! Back to normal again! Hooray!!

a relaxing weekend..

2008-03-02T17:30:00.002+08:00

It was such a relaxing weekend for me, doing nothing at all for the past few days. Living in an isolation! LOL...

Next week is going to be hectic again, sigh.... Well, Jun wen is leaving to Sydney again, poor Vic would be alone again and yeah, abby would be back on Weds night! Hooray! hahaha..

I pray hard that I do not have to work next Sat! ABBY! LETs go PARTYYY!!!!! hahahaa

traffic jam!!

2008-03-01T00:39:00.003+08:00

I hate traffic jams! Since working in Dell, I spend at least 2 hours on the road, about 30-40 minutes to get there, then about 60-110 minutes to get back!!! Phew...

Talking about jams! What has our ministers have been doing in the past years? I only see roads with more potholes instead of new or better solution for these jams! VOTE WISELY PEOPLE! Look what have they done to Penang in the past years!

Luckily, working with a great teammates has made my day, if not, I would be cursing throughout the whole jam. Lol... and my usual outing during the jam is "kapster" with vic on the phone as both of us are stuck on the same road. haha.....

standing aloof in a sullen

2008-02-24T19:56:00.002+08:00

It is Monday morning, I'm awake, typing my resignation letter to send in again after having few days of consideration. Officially leaving Marcus Evans, the next destination would be Dell. Hm...

Been karaoke-ing, playing pool, playing Wii and drinking too much at a friends' house daily. I shall stop this kind of lifestyle, if not, I would be looking like a 30 year old woman when i'm actually 23 only. Lately, friends have been saying that I'm very moody, angry, so on so forth. Nevertheless I have not found out the reason too! HAhaa... But currently having the feeling of standing aloof in a sullen from ....... isn't good, it does hurts. Sigh...

Thursday is a start of a new life again! Am I looking forward for it? Hm.... pondering upon....

Disappointed..

2008-02-17T19:38:00.003+08:00

It’s been 3 months and a week since I’m back. From my holidays, to my working life, I’ve been drinking and having lots of fun… nearly everyday!

I had a ‘gambling’ session in my house with my colleagues after work on Friday, started drinking from 7pm till Audrey came and fetch me to Kayu to meet fish lips and others when I’m really over the board… and we continue drinking when we ended up in another friend’s home till about 5am! The session isn’t finish yet, as we continue on Saturday night till 6am again from 9pm. Now, my mum’s forcing me to eat porridge today as she said I’m overdose with alcohol. Sigh.

Everyone has left but problems are all left still. There weren't solutions! Unanswered and unknown equation left to be solved. Such a miserable life! Sigh..

Happiness has come to an end. Life is getting bored, as most of my friends have left. I have to get serious in my working life as that would build my own path towards a brighter future.

everyones leaving.. sob sob...

2008-02-12T23:21:00.000+08:00

Back to college, back to work... everyone is leaving. My dad is leaving tomorrow. Desmond is leaving tomorrow, Jayme left to work, Seng Lee is leaving this Saturday, Jaci, Yung Quan, Eric, Jon and some others have left as well. Back to the quiet life and focus on my job! Sigh.... Sob sob...

2008-02-07T02:16:00.000+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
I WISH EVERYBODY BEST OF LUCK, PROSPERITY

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE, I wish you all for good health and prosperity!

interesting to know....

2008-01-27T21:58:00.000+08:00

I was scrolling through my sitemeter, it is interesting to see how people stumbled across my blog. By searching, singapore "siao khee", caryn zouk out, manglish jokes, singlish jokes, perodua, and lots more. *luckily no one came in by searching "yi jun bitch!" hahahaaha. Lately, since many have searched for Marcus Evans "BAD" and many other things about Marcus Evans like how are they paying, so on so forth.

Lol.... Never knew Marcus Evans was such a topic. But I wonder, why did some of you searched for Marcus Evans "bad" ? What sort of "bad" are you referring to? The events? The operations? The company itself or what?

If you are complaining about the events being bad, then I would not say anything than refer to the producers who most of them are fresh grads in the operations team. However, if you are commenting the quality of people although it is catered for senior management levels, it really depends. Especially being in such a competitive environment like some commented that it is a 90:10 rule instead of 80:20 rule in sales. Which means top salesperson would earn to an average of 20k a month? Not counting those who sells sports congresses which figures would be sky high for one. While lowest would only maintain the basic for monthsss. However, there are many interesting things that I have came across through speaking to MDs or GMs of mostly Asian countries.

Malaysians would most probably attend an event which is located locally, Sg or HK. But its contrasting, charging a mere fee of $1.5kUSD for an international event, some commented, why do I have to pay that much to attend an event locally while some commented that travelling overseas would be crazy for that fee too. And being the norm, I was suprised to see many Afghanistan companies would actually attend events in Sg, Thailand and M'sia.

Nevertheless, the idiots which no sales would like to face, which are the XXX country, the arrogant fellas, of course, that does not imply to all but mostly. Why do I say so? E.g. I've spoken to this huge company that has their internal mgmt training courses. However, the MD wasn't the idiotic one, its the secretary. She said "we have the best experts to educate us, we do not have to attend those anywhere else". I politely asked her, "don't u wanna know hows the world outside? what area ur competitors doing?" She replied "no, we do not" and so on so forth. With this, I wonder how good that company would be. If they were the best, you would be renown company in the world and not in XXX country only. I guess they must have been brainstorm to think that they are "APPLE JR" .

Another case was, my colleagues, blasted this XXX country's minister, when that minister commented that these events are only for those lousy people who needs help in their system, when they do not have a good system. Lol... my colleagues just told him, are you sure? Then are you saying that the .... of Commenwealth bank of Australia is useless? He attend because his bank's security is worse than your Ministry? Wah.. I guess if thats right, people, do not save ur savings there then! hahahahahaahaa.. Then she continue by, 'alright sure, I guess i'll pass this msg to him when i meet him in the event that you have commented such' . Stupid minister just freaked out! hahahahaa.

There are no perfect guidelines when it comes to business management. There is only best suggested solutions. Expert? If doctors were experts and make no mistakes, how come there is no publicity news on what are actual stats of people killed because of the 'professionals' mistakes. Are all of the patients treated 100% correctly? If the expert that could give talks and educated an organization about how to manage this and that. Why would he be getting paid by giving lectures instead of being a successful top 10 entrepreneur in this world? Easiest way like how chinese love to laugh it as 'can talk, cannot do'. I get it that it is a way to turn some salesperson down. However, how stupid to hear such words coming out of a huge XXX country organization. I understand I'm being racist here, why so? Yes, because I'm a Malaysian, if I was to tell them I 'm calling from ME London, speaking with an accent, instead of a 3rd world country, they would pass and listen to you attentively. Why so? Does that mean the London team is much better? They are selling the same thing as well !!! I do understand that we can't comment as Malaysia's industry is so much worse comparing to the XXX country. But hm.... Don't forget, you do have a XXX country sales team doing exactly what we are doing. Hence, the conclusion would be, racism is a big issue in this XXX country as well. If that particular is trained by experts and being closed like how it is, why isn't that name on the Business Week each day? Why doesn't events pay them as a speaker to share their glory with others instead of inviting them as a delegate to listen from the successful cases like Taipei 101 or IFCs in New York or HK. Sigh.... pityful, they only have a small industry to cater. Unlike this poor 3rd world country, where business is everywhere, we do not even need to focus of overseas clients.

drew's bday..

2008-01-13T14:05:00.000+08:00

As we were partying at QE2 on Friday with andrew, ben, soon yang, yen yee, desmond, gin and some others, after 2 bottles, soon yang decided to treat us all but in Mois instead, hence, we departed. However, we did not finish that extra 2 bottles, we decided pay a visit again, on
Saturday night, which happens to be Andrew's birthday as well. Lol...

Edward and his friends, Hsin Yi and melvin came along as well, celebrating Andrew's birthday with a secret recipe chocolate fudge cake. The fun part was... drew got sooo drunk, before he collapse, phew..... that was an awful lot of mess that what have been done. Lol.....

so.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW!!!! haha...... finishing calling everyone d? hahhahaha

1st week of work

2008-01-09T21:01:00.000+08:00

7th of November, I came back to Penang.
7th of December, I've got my interview at Marcus Evans.
7th of January, I'm officially working!

Well, I'm working at Marcus Evans located at Northam Towers. Jobs seems to be interesting so far, however, hope it would still be interesting in the months to come. I have colleagues whom mostly spreads from the age of 20 to 30, and only a handful who are over the board of 30. My admin cum finance cum receptionist, Michelle, suppose to be the oldest before Dennis came in and broke the record by aging 36, if i'm not mistaken. Lol..... and the worst part of the story is, miss xxx, after disappearing after the age of 15, and appear again at 19ish and disappeared again a year later, she appeared in my life again as my colleague!!! #!@($&!(!@&*#

However, miss xxx doens't seems to be so bad after all, as she's the limelight of the company that makes us laugh all day, making work more lively for us. Hope what eric has commented doens't come true again thats all. Lol....

a day before..

2007-12-20T14:18:00.000+08:00

Today is Malaysia'a public holiday, Hari Raya Haji. Hence yesterday, the roads were flooded by cars, everyone was out, even at 12am! Watched Warlords yesterday, was a terrible movie. I thought I am legend was bad enough, but apparently it's much better than this. Lol... Hoping to watch National Treasure 2 soon. Anyone? lol..

Holidaying on a weekday.

2007-12-18T01:15:00.000+08:00

Sadly, Jun Wen's grandfather passed away yesterday. I would like to send my sincerest condolences to u, JW.

Went to dinner with Vic today, followed with a drink at Coffee Bean. I notice I'm overly confidence on things I've said, which i thought that it was right but eventually it isn't correct. I shall look deeply into it and change my habits. Eventually, that would turn out to be making a fool of myself.

At this age, I've attended five close friends' wedding. Next to the line would be Bee Suan, in 2 weeks time. It is amazing to know that our classmates, schoolmates and friends who are our age are getting married or even welcoming their newborn baby. Such fascinating love stories, Amber, my beloved house mate, went for a blind date arranged by her parents, fell in love at the first sight and got married half a year later. However, there are people like Vic who have dated the same old guy for 9 years and would still go on for another 5-7 years before tying the knot.

Next, is the best story of my month, a gorgeous friend of mine finally changed. Being a hardcore saver, whom never buy drinks for friends, finally did today and fetch me home! nice...

Seven deadly sins of the VC

2007-12-16T23:37:00.000+08:00

I came across a page about an interesting aphorism from Richard Dale's articles about Bob Davoli, a well-known person in the venture capital industry for his success with his direct style and sharp observations of the VC landscape. Here are some of his aphorisms of seven deadly sins of venture capital version.

This is written in an acrostic form using his name (RDavoli): if it escapes into the wild it will always bear his name.

one more week.

2007-12-16T22:52:00.000+08:00

One more weekend before I start working, sigh, holidays finish fast. I miss the student life which I could just work hard for assignments and exams; enjoying nearly 4 months holiday each year. However, I hope working life isn't that bad. :)

Vic's bf, Jun Wen came back last week, hence, no more movies, drinking outings at the moment. haha... I am home most of my time, watching movies, catching up with some other friends, and mostly, doing nothing! hahaha... So who is coming back next? Lol..

Back from SG!

2007-12-13T00:03:00.001+08:00

There goes my holiday.... back from Singapore. Met Hf, Yen and Nhu for lunch yesterday at Ichiban, then went back to help Nhu pack as she is leaving on Friday. *sob, sob* Went to Hf's boss, Mike's place for dinner, his such a great cook! I should say that the Thai theme dinner was the absolute. Met some friends of Hf and we headed to some shisha place in Baghdad Lane and met a few more friends. We had a great night till everyones exhausted and left at 3am. I slept over at Hf's place and meet up with my mum today at Orchard Road to continue shopping for another 2 hours before we left Sg. It was such a great trip, with the great food my aunt brought us, the parties Hf brought me and the shopping goods that I manage to collect. Lol..

Singapore is a great place to live in, it is exceptionally cheap, even comparing to Penang ( dollar per dollar calculation instead of including the exchange rate). Here's the comparison.

Taxi (Airport to city, about same distance) : SG$ 15 RM 38
Bowl of hawker food noodles : SG$4 3 RM50
Fine dining (average) : SG$80 RM40 (in pg), RM90 (in kl)
Charles & Keith vs Nose : SG$30 RM50
Raoul shoes : SG$ 250 RM650
Nine West shoes : SG$ 13 RM300
Shu Uemura mascara : SG$ 35 RM80
Giordano shirts : SG$ 20 RM40
beer in pubs : SG$ 8 RM10
Toyota Camry (including COE & taxes) : SG$ 97k RM140k
2000 sq ft. double storey semidetached hse: SG$ 1.5m RM1m (depending on location)
average fresh grad salary : SG$ 2.3k RM1.5k
tax rate : 15% 23%

Plus, there are a huge variety of food, goods, jobs, cars, parties, people and others! However, living there would make me age faster i guess, with lack of rest and sleep everyday. Lol..... Hence, is living in Pg better or in Sg? Lol....

I've graduated!

2007-12-11T00:16:00.000+08:00

Hooray! At last, I've graduated and I've got a job offer in Marcus Evans starting in January. Great!

Currently, I'm in Singapore enjoying my holiday. Flew down on Friday night, join Vic for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Esplanade Theatre, it was good. Then, we spend few hours shopping at Orchard Road, went back to hotel to get ready for Zouk out when Vic was half sick, I broke my bottle of foundation and step on it, causing a wound on my feet now! We headed to Siloso beach at Sentosa at about 11pm, stuck in the traffic jamm for about one and half hour, stuck in the queue to get in for about another one and half hour, hence by the time we got in, was about 2am. But the music was great, we joined hf, an yen, nhu and others till about 5ish and left. I've stayed in the hotel with Vic and AY for that night.

Spent the last 2 days shopping in Orchard Road and Vivocity, Vivocity is not as good as expected, KL's pavillion is so much better. However, for much to suprise, things here are considerable cheap comparing to Malaysian shops even after conversion of currencies.

I'll be heading to American Club and meet HF for lunch today at Orchard Road and continue my shopping. hahaha... not sure whats the plan for the night. Will be leaving Sg tomorrow night! Sob sob.... Holidays ends fast.

saturday night..

2007-12-03T00:59:00.000+08:00

Last night, after catching up a little with some old friends at Tiger Arms, Caryn, An yen, Vic & I headed to QE2 again when G-Spot was so dead. There was so much fun chilling at this seaside bar overlooking at the view of yachts, cruises and lights of mainland.

No doubt, they have awesome pizzas and chocolate cake!

Haven't really tried the cocktails and other drinks than spirits and beer from QE2. Lol. Caryn's X rated pink Vodka is soon selling here. Hope I'll get a good mix then.

An yen and Caryn would be leaving on Tuesday, but never mind, I'll see them in Sg very soon! Haha....

Sigh, have to go to work tomorrow, how I wish I could have half a year of holiday! Lol..

summary of updates..

2007-12-01T02:26:00.000+08:00

I went to KL last week with Vic, that was a fantastic trip, covering Pavilion, KLCC, Lot 10, Mid Valley, The Gardens and bit of Sunway pyramid. I'm exhausted!

We drove down on Friday morning and after checking in at Westin, we began shopping right across the road till it evening, and we hop from one shopping complex to another. Was exhausted for the first day hence sleeping at 11pm. Haha, Vic was disappointed as we did not explore some clubs or lounges. On the 2nd day, we continue our shopping spree, as usual, i'm exhausted at the end of the day. When Vic's friends called up to cancel the trip to Velvet due to riots and polices around town, Skybar and Lunabar isn't an alternative anymore too, and I forgot to tell her that Qbar is right below, (she screamed at me when she found out there is somewhere we can go which we won't bump into those riots), hence, ended up sleeping early again. We headed to my granny's place on Sunday, and finish the day after lunch with my uncle and aunts, by the time we're home, its 9pm.

Phew.... Exhausted yet happy for my trophies. I thought she's bad enough in shopping, but I'm not much better anyway. I don't understand why there is a queue which takes up to an hour to buy J&Co doughnuts, they don't taste as good, especially after leaving them in the car boot for 4 hours.

My weekdays' nights were filled with drinks and movies. Last night Caryn, Nhu and Rob came up from Sg, An Yen, Vic and me joined them at QE2, but we left soon after. Today, as Yen was busy, i was left to shop with Nhu at Queensbay as we suppose to head to the beach but it was drizzling. We then join Vic for dinner and QE2 again, the pizza and chocolate cake was extraordinarily good and we continued for a drink at Babylon when Chris and Jia Long came along. It's a waste that Nhu is leaving tmr morning as she has a date later in the evening back in Sg. Sigh....

Haha.... I was laughing at Vic that she gets so excited for days before an event. But, I think i'm no better. I'm now wondering what's my outfit for tmr's party with Caryn, Rob and others. I'm excited for my trip down to Sg this coming friday too! Zouk Out! ooo...I'm coming!!! hahaha..I hope Nhu don't forget to get tickets for me.... Lol... and apparently there is a Big SALE in Sg too! hahaha....

2007-11-21T00:36:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday, I attended leon's birthday party at QE2, the place doesn't seems as attractive as I thought it would be but not bad after all. Hm...I'll try to take a picture of myself when I don't look that redish and sleepy in future.

I'm going down to KL with vic this Friday till Sunday! Hooray, get to shop and have fun. So excited!

Will update soon.

interesting...

2007-10-27T20:01:00.000+08:00

NZ's weather is just horrible. A bright sunny day would never maintain for more than 8 hours continously! Its bright and sunny, next thing, its raining for few minutes, then bright and sunny again, then drizzling again. The cycle would repeat itself for at least 10 times!

It is the third time today that I went jogging in the park opposite my house and it started raining again after a hot, bright sunny day!!! ARgh...... Always ended up drenched!

I was talking to Sean today, he is in the 30s, but he was my classmate last semester, I was curious of why is still studying at this age. Finally, today I had a chance to ask him when he called to discuss on some issue. After his story, I was amaze, knowing that there is a person in this world to let go his prestigious lifestyle and lead a hard life but he enjoys his work.

He graduated with a diploma ages ago, then started as an admin executive, slowly , after a few years, he was a general manager of a local tin can food manufacturing company, it is not some small tiny company! He was earning as much as any Malaysian GM does. However, he didn't quite like it, after few years, he quit, continued his Bachelors, and now he is just a property sales agent for Barfoot & Thompson. I was wondering, is he crazy or what, how could someone love being a salesman instead of the boss. Interesting...

Perodua Myvi

2007-10-26T13:24:00.000+08:00

My mum got her new Perodua Myvi Ezi! Hooray! My family is a loyal local car user! Thats also because we could only afford for them, as they are the cheapest range available. The Wira that we're having now is the 4th Wira, this Myvi is our first perodua. Lol..

I use to hate small cars, as I find them dangerous, feeling unsecured driving with just a wee bit metal in front or at the rear where only a thin slice of metal to separate the 'inside' and 'outside' of the vehicle. But nowadays, I began to fall for them, as they are easier to park, to squeeze around in those jammed little roads in Penang, and saves petrol!

and... Globalisation!! Wow.. Japaneses car makers are so generous, to share and have joint-ventures for the same little product, which our Malaysian Perodua is one of them too. Perodua Myvi is also found to be sold in other brands, such as Toyota Passo, Daihatsu Sirion and Subaru Justy. Da little Japanese racing machine!!

Lost...

2007-10-25T21:01:00.000+08:00

I am sitting on this chair nearly 15 hours daily facing my com, although I am out for dinner on average of twice a week. However, since 14th of October, I have been in this room doing my work and facing these stupid books! I notice that I'm either staring at nothing, cooking, studying, and most of my time, disturbing the people on my msn list. Sigh.... sort of lost and ... annoyed at myself! What am I doing!! I'm growing sideways extensively too! How scary! Guess its time to go on a diet and run at least 2kms a day for like 6 months to get back to normal! Hm....

Next Thursday is the D-day! Wonder how it feels like, sitting the last 3 hours' examination of my university life! Ha... and yes, I am leaving NZ a week after that for good. See ya around the globe as it is destined!

Bored?

2007-10-03T20:55:00.000+08:00

Let Mr.Bean entertain you .. Hahaha

Click on him please.

Globalisation?

2007-10-03T18:23:00.000+08:00

Dr. Cardrow asked me once,
"What has globalisation have to do with you and your non-profit organization project?"

Hm...
I guess the answer would be...

I am a Malaysian made
obtaining a New Zealand degree
typing on a Japanese laptop
driving a British car
calling on a Finnish phone
wearing an Australian piece of design
eating a China made packet noodles
drinking some French wine
and reading the world's news now from internet, grabbing idea, information, theories and suggestions on how to write my report for this project to gain a competitive advantage for survival in its' field of industry!

The luxury phones

2007-10-03T17:15:00.000+08:00

The greatest invention 20th century that impact each and every one of us would be no other than internet and mobile phones. Following on the 21st century, designers gain interest of turning this technology into sleek and classy looking radio waves' voice transmission machine.

From the famous Finnish brand, Nokia's wholly-owned subsidiary, Vertu, selling phones with exceptional hand-crafted with over hundred patents on it, pricing to the highest of $350,000, the limited edition Signature Cobra. Claiming that the reception is "as clear as a Mozart symphony" and the near-indestructibility structure made of metals like titanium and aluminum,
precious stones like sapphire and ruby.

In April, to celebrate Ferrari's 60th birthday, it had a joint with Vertu to produce the "Ascent Ferrari 1947 limited edition" selling at $25,400.

Next, the five limited editions of the Sony Ericsson Black Diamond, priced at $300,000 by Singaporean based industrial desinger, Jaren Goh.

Then, the million dollar babies, made from heart of Switzerland, with a starting price from $25,000 for the GoldVish Illusion to the Guinness Books Records holder, GoldVish Le Million, a guaranteed limited production of three peices only, made of solid gold and diamond-studded, pricing at approximately $1.3 million.

On the smartphone cateogry without gold and diamonds would then be the Mago Luxury Smartphone, with WiFi, touch screen and others. Selling from $4000. BUT only available in Russia.

If you are considering one with 3G, you could explore the Mobiado Luminoso, paying only a mere $1,700 for it. It's equipped with saphhire crystal buttons with illuminated keypad, support most music and video files, however, i'm not sure where you can get it, because it would not be selling in US anytime soon.

Feeling guilty for spending too much on a phone? Perhaps a Gresso Black Aura Gold Edition, decorated with 18-carat pink gold would do? . However, not suitable for environmental friendly freaks, as it is crafted from African Blackwood.

For the cheaper versions of luxury phones?
You could consider the following, by fashion label Giorgio Armani teaming up with Samsung, revealing their first mobile phone in Milan. Pricing at $920.

Or my favourite, the LG Prada selling at approximately $780.
The first completely touch screen mobile phone.

I wonder, how many more famous designer and fashion labels, e.g. Dolce & Gabbana with Motorola, Prada with LG, Giorgio Armani with Samsung, are going to come out with more superb designs with phone companies, stamping their luxurious brand on it.
Or some entrepreneurship 'creativity and innovation' like how partnerships are done, like Versace and Lamborghini in their special edition all-white-car or
Bulgari's joint venture with Marriott International's upscale hotel division.

Mount Ruepehu erupts!

2007-09-27T22:00:00.000+08:00

At last, finished assignments that are due this week.

Mount Ruapehu erupted on 2 days ago, 6th time since 1996. Well, although the eruption wasn't that much like back in 1995 and 1996 which it has produced 7 million tones of ashes and blanketing the surrounding area which 2.3 million fell into lake of Taupo. But, 4kms finished, middle earth from lord of the rings disappeared and 50 people was evacuated and most of them were in critical condition after injuries of getting stuck in the huts up the moutain.

Well, whakapapa and turoa is reopened today for recreational activities again. Sigh, although I bought a season pass but wasn't able to hit the mountains this season at all. But luckily wasn't there 2 days ago, if not would have the 'scared' of my lifetime as Malaysia doesn't have any scary natural disasters. Hm... wonder is that much snow left to ski now? hehe..... two more assignments and an examination paper... Hm.....

ON MY NERVES!!!!!

2007-09-25T16:53:00.000+08:00

Handed in one assignment, two more to go that is due this week.

ARGHHHH!!!!!!! I BLURDY HATE ORANG CHEEENASSSSSSS!!!!!

DAMM....
Firstly, My so call 'successful entrepreneur' lecturer, Dr. Andrew Cardrow!(If any of you wanting to take his papers, do it extramurally instead of internally) , who talks as if his better than Bill Gates in business terms, is a dammmmm lazy lecturer! He can't even finish marking forty assignments which was due on 17th August by now!!! Hence, because of his laziness, he lovessss group assignments, and is dammm racist! (don't ask me how i know, vince, that is just purely my opinion, detected by my own sensitivity) there are 8 Asians in the whole class, believe it a not, we are group into TWOOOOOO GROUPS! Nevertheless, these two groups would be listed right down the bottom of the class. (my guess)

NEXT is... MY BLURDY ORANG CHEENA GROUPMATES! NONE OF THEM DID ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! Assignment and presentation is due on Thursday and they still give excuses of , 'Oh, I'm busy, will meet on Wednesday'. Alright... fine fine.... I've DONE THE REPORT. I've DONE THE SLIDES.... now ... asked them to just complete the referencing part as I hate doing that, I normally just chunk in the link from where i got them from but have not write proper references for it.

Out of the blurdy three orang cheena, after pressuring them, at least one said fine, he'll do it BUTTTTTTTT, guess what lame excuse he gave me, he claims that HE DOENS'T KNOW HOW TO DO CORRECT REFERENCING FOR JOURNAL ARTICLES!!!! WTF!!! 3rd year student telling me he doens't know how to do referencing!

If i'm not in my last semester, I'm gonna report it and hand in an individual assignment instead, now, i'm not going to risk arguing and reporting to Andrew whom i doubt he would be doing anyhting if I did so. Lets just hope my presentation turns out well.

Sigh... *fainting*.....one more due this friday, 2 more in 2 weeks time...wish my luck....

the finale - 10th nov 2007

2007-09-23T18:22:00.000+08:00

10th November 2007, the would be the date when I leave this Cowland forever!

Hm.... all my Australian holiday plans have vanished! But doesn't matter, i wanted to go just because I have to use up my credits from Virgin Blue. Therefore, with the alternate plan that my mum have planned out for me, is flying home and if possible, start work the next day!!!! Sigh...

I'm sort of excited too.... Muahahah! Although I could earn my down payment of my car here in a years time, guess that wouldn't be better than going home! Vic, Yen, Ching, Matt, wait for me!!! Don't go to Koh Sa Mui and Japan without me!!!!! Hahahahaa
