Recession, Figures and Management
Jan 6th
The day time is spent going to Putrajaya’s new office, meetings over meetings and solving problems over problems. How much I like my job, I am starting to hate management. Eeeekkkk!
The recession is coming, and many people are speculating this and that.
This month, like every other year, is when the Business Plan is being unveiled. One funny thing is, the projection figure is going upwards. That’s it. I’m gonna be even more stress this year!
One particular reasoning is because, the recession will not hit to our shore till end of the year. It takes some time to hit us from the USA.
Still, I’m sure the clients are sure to sustain their operation thus we sustain ours too. This is also another headache. Don’t worry! It is all going to be fine. I know the secret weapon to tackle all this issue..!!
On management, I think, it is not as easy as we speak or as we read. Human are the toughest ‘thing’ to deal with. Especially certain ‘kind’ of human living among us. Hey, don’t judge my view. It is just a matter of fact that these ‘kind’ of people are behaving like that and their attitude will never change.
But, am glad. Glad that I have to go through this. It’s either you suffer for the better or you suffer when there is nothing. Choose ONLY one.
Today is also the day I’ve met the successor of The Boss. Senior Boss I shall call him. Senior Boss is taking a break from the banking line after 5 years. He is the aftermath of the current on-going recession. I guess, we pretty much has a lot in common towards the business that the long drive back from Putrajaya was very interesting and how we see the swift towards the new management of the new generation nowadays.
A young chap he is, just a few years elder, now learning the ropes of the business from The Boss. Hoping one day that he will come back to run the business. I seriously hope he does,soon. The Company really needs a lot of new blood, new management and new brains.
Towards a great 2009 business year!

Must Listen To Married Woman’s Advice
Jan 5th
I am seriously liking this client already!
Sometimes, a crazy Monday needs some light crazy phone conversation.
It was all about one Teh Tarik that she wants to reward me…
Client: I like ur response leh.. So fast! Come, come! I reward you one teh tahrik.
Me: Wah.. serious! I don’t mind. Once in a while, the client spend supplier. Yay!
Client: Then you have to come over and claim your Teh Tarik lor…
Me: Oh yeah! There got Kopitiam at your building. We can have white coffee instead.
Client: har? You don’t want our very own…
Me: Wait! Your office got that superb Teh Tarik machine thingy! That one will do!
Client: Whoa.. you are so easy to please lah… too bad, I’m married.
Me: Aiyak… there goes my chance…
Client: Eh.. u faster go and find one lah… (She does that all the time)
Me: hahaha… like shopping by the roadside, choose one?
Client: Aiyahhh.. You don’t have to be so picky ma can find lor…
Me: THAT, I have to disagree. Have to be a little bit picky. It’s for life okay!
Client: Actually yeah, must be picky. Listen to this married woman’s advice.
Me: hahaha. Not a bad decision I’ve mad all these while…
So yes! Being picky for a men is, right!
It’s not about looks. It’s not about money. It’s not only about personality.
It is the whole, if you can live with that person for the rest of your life and live happily together after you’ve said your “I Do”.
Agree?
Hello 2009, Goodbye 2008
Jan 2nd
**It is taking me ages just to click publish, because the line here is so bad! It keeps breaking off. Oh! I was ‘leeching’ line from McDonalds near my place.**
I am here to click “Publish” of this post that I made earlier. Should have put it on auto scheduled but, I wanted to put in pics, BUT, it is just not loading from my camera the pics. Grrrrr….
BUT it is still NOT being published (nothing comes free). I went back to my apartment and then, my housemate came back. Pinjam-ed his Maxis broadband which is suprisingly fast today.. SO here I am blogging at the comfort of my own bedroom.
——————————————-
30th December 2008: 0138AM
So fast, one year pass already…
I’m still here in the office to quickly clearing things up before New Year, because I know if I don’t do it, it might not get done and backlogs will be for a week. Wow! Wonderful.. -_-
ANYWAYS…
I’ve said goodbye to 2007, and now, I’m saying goodbye to 2008.
So fast one year already, and I think, my 2008 is pretty much eventful. Very Indeed.
In my career, I’m glad that things are going my way. Simple to say, I’ve achieved the one of the many positions which I want to hold in a company. It is going to be a great 2009! Definitely!
I’ve voted for the first time. The feeling was good. The election was somewhat a landslide. What a victory for the opposition which many of us would want to see. But still, there is a hope for a better country.
The family has been great. The two additions to the family sure does give some extra vibe to the home, but number 2 decided to move out, down the road. -_- Me nephews are so cute! (wait, pictures coming up)
My circle of friends is increasing by the day. The most notable friends I’ve made is the random bunch of people met on 20th April 2008, just to watch a movie and ended up carrying the extra “title” DGMB. (Still can’t beat my Tan Silly Latuk)
There are too many acquaintances I’ve made to mention here and it will not stop. It is one of my “rich pillars”.
Blogging has increased tremendously as it is kinda like the passion of me to write something as a recorded moments in my life. AND hey… I do reflect on my past post and see what has been happening and to see where was I at any point of my life… The brain can only take so much, but you will be surprise on my memory though. Though, it may be over-worked, I can remember well on things that matters to me.
I’ve been spending money like crazy and making ends meet is kinda tough when you just keep on spending and spending. Almost 70% of the monies are spent on food. Don’t ask me where the food went. I can’t find you the answer.
I have finally said “Tak Nak”, though not completely. It is not tough to say “NO”. It is just mind over matters. I certainly do not deny that after saying “Tak Nak“, I have said “Maybe” few times.
Also, I’ve started to call it a quit on crazy clubbing nights out. It has been burning a big hole in the pocket and now, it doesn’t work anymore. I need a chill out session with less “bing bing bang bang”.
The YapMobil has taken it’s first major vehicle injury and hospitalized for a day. Now, that, has taken a big chunk of my monies. *sigh* It was the best car injury ever, even the workshop guy was shocked!
But oh wells, what’s past shall remain history, for tomorrow is the day to look forward too.
This 2009, I’m looking forward to many things…
I want to get ‘married’, cause that’s the only way I can gain weight. -_-
To bring the company to greater heights… I’m an addict for achievements and satisfactions. One victory is never enough, I must rule the game and win with utmost respect and honour. (che wah…. Speaking-nye)
Among these three, I did not do one one thing;
Seek and you will Find,
Knock and it shall be Open,
Ask and you shall receive.
Let not history repeats itself.
I want to go on a nice vacation. Wait, I’m already planning for one. Let’s put it this way. I want to go on many many vacation! I’ve yet to cover the northern South East Asia, India and maybe Dublin or London?
I must learn to response to SMSes and Calls I received during crazy work hours promptly. I’ve been getting a lot of complaints from the many of my dear friends. Sigh.
I’ve got many in my makeover list which I wanted to do, but left hanging either due to cost or time. It’s about time, I find the time to take up dancing class. Like I’m serious! They say, girls like guys who can dance. True?
hahaha
I need to start going to Gym back again. Okay, what more difference can it do, but it is a good start to a healthy life. I seriously need some energy charging after a long hour of work… Furthermore, I’m like paying freaking RM 20 everything to keep my super low fees alive.
Must spend EVEN more time with the family… MUST! MUST! MUST! MUST!
Must also spend more time with the buddies… Betul kan, Jun?
Must not spend so much on unnecessary things. It’s save and invest time! Oh, and with the projected economic situation which is going dwindling down… Might as well right?
Must clean my apartment EVERY WEEK. Yes, I’m kinda a bummer sometimes. Hey, I need a lazy time off when I’m off work okay! But, me likey cleaning. Everything will be sparkling clean, for sure! So, yeah, cleaning of the apartment EVERY WEEK, if this plans fail I will do it TWICE a month.
err… there are a lot more to accomplish and the list is just too long, BUT;
and most importantly of all, this wonderful year, I want to give love. I want to see that when you are happy, I’m happy. All I want to do is to make you happy. You may be the beggar by the road, you may be the homeless mother, you may be my best buddy, you may be my family, you may be the kid without companion at the back alley… anyone and everyone deserve to be loved. Simple as that. Something different I want to do, starting with tomorrow.
This, to a great 2009 ahead,
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
The Timing is Just RIGHT…
Dec 28th
Just when I wanted to go over to KY’s Christmas eve party, I’ve got a call…
Just when I wanted to sleep late for Saturday, I’ve got to go KL Sentral…
Just when I wanted my Sunday off and do something constructive, I’ve got SMS…
Just when I wanted to start helping with the nephew’s 1st Birthday, I’ve got call…
What a co-incidence… Looks like it’s not only Santa is not granting my wish.
But many others are not! Hmmm…
Oh, funny thing was, I went to office today and when I left my office about noon-ish, my office neighbour came out and we both said this to each other:
“Oi! Sunday lah…!!!“
Hahahahahaha…
We chated a lil bit and shared how is things like when you don’t have anyone to back you up in the office. His case was even sadder. All his office staff got asked to leave due to his bosses disagreements and what not, so left him alone.
I guess, afterall we both share the same common sad working story…
Before we parted, he said this to me:
“Tomorrow, make sure you don’t come yea. It’s public holiday!”
and we both laughed…
…
Nope! Tomorrow will be a chilaxin day. Maybe another ‘date‘ to look forward to.
Box! Box! Boxing Day!!!
Dec 26th
I thought today, many people will be on holiday and the day will be VERY relaxing..
Nay…. but…
Wow!
Surprisingly, I’m surviving till now…
Yes, I’ve been boxing here and there the whole day… Whole day!!
Hello, I’m a product of hard knocks!
I learn my ropes through the hard way!
No one was there when I needed them…
None! Nil! Zero! Kosong! Ling!
Today’s date shall be mark… and I will remember this day!
This very day where I held on to the fort all by myself…
ALL BY MYSELF…
This is the day where I get to to play many roles..
This is the very day also, I know where my limit lies… Boundless…
Mr. Neethia (moi Tourism lecturer) said to me when I met him on Wednesday…
“You are still young… do all you can now.”
Hmmm… If it is not me.. who else eh?
Oh… just a moment ago, I received this:
“Dear All,
All of you are fully aware that 2009 economic and financial situation surely to be very gloom !“
About time for a rocky year ahead… I’m all ready…
You want figures! I’ve got it all… Bring it on!!

It was an eventful weekend… after I face a crazy start to my weekend…
There was so much going on that I would need more time to write… ;D
Let’s see…
There was ‘work‘…
A lot of ‘moving‘ around…
A little bit of ‘shopping‘… hmmm, I bought cleaning cloth and soap powder.
Some usage of ‘muscle‘ here and there… SOME.. some..
Did some spring ‘cleaning‘ at the apartment… Christmas! Christmas!
Went back to Klang for ‘tong yuen‘.
A Chinese delicacy which brings the meaning of family reunion…
and.. of course, usage of the ‘brain‘ to keep it at optimum level… on SUNDAY!

“Hosting the most successful conference which creates impactful experiences“
ermm.. quite a fair bit of ‘makan-ing‘ here and there…
Dim Sum during the day and night… quite literally…
Deterred and killed the sick virus away…
Fever and headache was felt on Friday night and killed completely by Sunday night…
Thanks to Panadol ActiFast and some nap…
Not forgetting, the crazy Christmas night out with fellow DGMBians…

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2009!!
Christmas is THREE (3) days away! WHEEEEEEEeeeeeeee
