Good Things happening

Good things happening around me at the end of year 2007. If you have been following up my blog, you will know bad things happened along my year 2007 especially around Nov. Surprisingly November is just like a turning point. Everything turned into good things after incident happened at the beginning of Nov. There are still some good things that I can’t disclose at this point of time but if you follow up really close on my blog then you know I posted 2 articles for one day before I decided to hide it before the right time to tell.

I am sure God is there to make everything happened. Things become very bad before it turn into good one. That’s why I appreciate everything I have gone through and everything I have now. The most wonderful thing is, good things not only happened to me but to my friends around me too. Some of my friends face the problem together with me (they have no choice because they are too close to me so they all kena) and now all of them having a better life.

One of them waiting for their baby to arrive, one of them preparing to get marry, one of them converted into the other department, one of them converted into permanent in the “A” company. Guys, I love you all, I miss the time we all together and I hope you all like what you all have now because I really love what I have now.

Christmas Eve

I never celebrate Christmas before I accepted Christ. Since I become a Christian, I celebrate all my Christmas by following my church caroling team (I am the photographer for my siblings). This year, I decided not to follow (until now also still feel guilty).

This is the first time I spend my Christmas Eve in Penang. I went for a dinner at Northern Café. Then walk from there to Gurney Plaza. The moon looked beautiful that night. There are a lot of families sitting along the beach to enjoy the beautiful scene. Of cause, there are a lot of couples too.

Youngsters gathered in front of Gurney Plaza. It was a battle zone there, everyone spraying each other without knowing who they are spraying to. I joined they for a while and it makes me feel like I am back to my young age again J.

Someone throw some bottles to the police car and it started to be out of control, crowds throw bottle to the police car non stop and someone told me that the mirror was broken. I ran away after seeing the situation (it must be too funny if an old lady get caught and sent to the police station). Only youngsters dare to do so, I am too old for this.

It was special to have this experience but something is missing there. I feel empty without Jesus Christ present in the Christmas Eve, what is the feeling of those who never know the true meaning of Christmas? May be they didn’t feel anything because they never know the feeling of true joy, they never feel the feeling of being love by God. Although you might be unhappy when I say so, but I challenge you, just go to church, try to know and accept more about Jesus Christ, and I tell you, it will totally change your life.

I changed mine…. How about you?

First time as a bride's maid

The night before the wedding, this is on Friday (30-Nov-07). I already set the hair. It is just sround 10pm when I took this photo. This is because I have to be at the bride's house before 8.15am on Saturday (1-Dec-07) morning.

I can't really accept this hair style at 1st. It seems like everyone others like it, so I get use to it.

This is the first time i make my hair curly, I think it's ok. What do you think about that?

Emm...Francis is the bestman on that day too. My paster told me that she was looking at us, standing on the stage, behind the bride and brideroom, thinking when is our turn, hehe. I looked fat here :(.

This is the king and queen of the day.

At the night, on the way to the dinner. We was late because we re-do the hair.

This is taken before the dinner at Hotel Copthrone.

You know what? He is the best friend of me and Francis, he is the one who gave us our 1st furniture in our Penang house, he is the one who bring us to Penang church, he is the one who recommend us to all our friends in Penang and he is the best singer that we ever meet. Burney, keep the promise :P!

This is the photo taken after the dinner.

After 2 days...my face looks like this....but I really like the hair do at night, not much change, the hairstylist just realease half of my hair down and make it more curly. These photos taken 2 am in the morning of Sunday (2-Dec-07).

Just feel wasted if I didn't take any of the photo.

Photos and blog will be my diary.....

I am happy even though I am tired.

I like this photo the most......

Hope you all like it as well :).

Wish the prince and princess, king and queen will leave happily forever.

First Flight to PJ

11/30/2007

My new company - My new life

I started my work finally after a month holiday. It seems like a good start since I get my 1st business trip to PJ on my first day as well.

At lease I got a good experience with my first flight. I fly with MAS instead of Air Asia; I stay in a 4 start hotel in stead of a cheaper hotel. My boss bring me for shopping after working in stead of just sending me back to hotel and rush home.

I have been there for 3 days, back to Penang together with my bosses (hehe, really, bosses). We went out for lunch with all the managers for my 1st lunch in Penang branch. I need to park my car inside the plant in stead of being prohibited to drive in my car (in my previous “A” company). The guard will say thank you after checking your car in stead of being rude.

I have my own office room. I have 2 really good and perfect teams reporting to me. I am the decision maker in stead of a follower now. The managers in plant will smile at you in stead of pulling down the face like a doggy at you. I have my 15% EPF, car allowance, meal allowance, mileage claims, phone allowance, better salary and most important thing is A GOOD BOSS.

Not easy to sit at my current place, but it is worth it for me to work hard for it because I feel appreciated and I want respect my current company. Some one told you big company is always better? No, not really, the most important thing is you need to get into a company which suit you (or may be should said a company that need people like you).

A shark cannot survive in a pond, a gold fish cannot survive in a sea; A bird cannot survive in the water, a fish cannot survive on the land. You cannot say that they are useless, it is just because of their habitat is different. Just like human, just like me.

Interesting Theory . Formula

Human = eat + sleep + work + play
If, Pig = eat + sleep

Then, Human = Pig + work + play
Hence, Human - play = Pig + work
Conclusion : Human who don't play = Pig

Man = eat + sleep + earn money
If, Pig = eat + sleep

Then, Man = Pig+ earn money
Hence, Man - earn money = Pig
Conclusion: Man who don't earn money = pig

Women = eat + sleep + waste money
If, Pig = eat + sleep

Then, Women = pig + waste money
Hence, Women - waste money = pig
Conclusion: Women who don't waste money = pig

Theory:

Man earn money so that women won't become pig,
Women waste money because don't want men to become pig

Hence, MEN + WOMEN = PIGS

A roller coaster week – part 2

Continue from last post, I am not jobless anyway; actually I got the job in the second interview on Wednesday. They offered me the job immediately after my interview, I didn’t tender my resignation immediately because I haven’t sign my offer letter at that time.

If despite the bad side, actually all things are in perfect timing, I got a job 2 days before he “fired” me. I got one month paid leave since he asked me to leave immediately and still paying me the one month salary. So I can enjoy my life for one month before I started to work again. I think someone will say that I should thanks my boss, ya, I will thanks him if he never did all the things before (ya, all YOU did is for our “GOOD” like what you always SAID but not as what we always FEEL).

Most of my friends know where I am going, although I think some still wondering whether I am the one telling truth or he is the one who tells the truth. The only thing I want to say is, use your eye, use your brain, use your heart and you will know who is telling the truth. Hehe, or if you want to say that both of us telling truth, I am fine with it. I just wanted to say, I didn’t feel guilty to him, I just feel guilty to those who really teach me but I never managed to help them. Sorry ya, WY and CH. All the others, we will still meet outside as friends (unless you scared he kill you as well).

A roller coaster week- part one

Some readers might realize that my relationship with my boss (should say ex-boss :P) in AXXLEXX company was not good. I wanted to leave this company long before I renew my second year contract and I have been mumbling about this for almost half a year but I never take any action.

I thought I wanted to give myself and my ex-boss a chance each and every time he when he transfer me to new product. Anyway, things never work out. I am not sure whether it is because of I didn’t “worship” him like others or because the chemistry between us never happened. Everything I did which related to him will have mistake, everything that I did even the same with others, I will still “die” in his hand. Incidents happened along the one year and 4 months which I learned a lot but the more I learned, the more I knew that I am not suitable in that company with the boss named “KyEK” (not real name “P).

Finally I took action to send out my resume to the job market. Luckily, my resume still worth something, I got a lot of calls which wanted to arrange for interview with me. So, last 2 weeks were my interview week. I did wrongly in this case; I went out for interview within office hour without informing him. I don’t have any leave since I already took the leave when my mom was admitted to hospital this year (my leave was pro-rated, which means I earn my leave by my working hour), the interviewer can’t wait till after office hour, so I have no choice but go out during office hour.

Result is, he called me for one on one review last Wednesday. He questioned me on my timeout; he asked me where I went for last one week. Hehe, you know, I never wanted to lie, I dare to answer if you dare to ask, so I told him the truth. Immediately, he said someone told him that I don’t have “heart” to work there anymore (from there I knew, someone back step me, golden finger is somewhere). So he asked me what will happen if I didn’t get the job that I am going for second interview in the afternoon (I took half day leave(the only half day leave that I managed to earn) for that). I am not sure what kind of answer he wanted from me. For me, that question is quite stupid, if I started to go for interview, that means I already decided to go away. If he wanted me to say that I wanted to stay and I like to stay, I tell you, I ‘m sorry, I don’t like to lie. I am not sure whether someone else gave him this answer but I am sure that person is lying! So, I told him I will keep on looking until I got a job. His answer is standard, then don’t waste both you and my time. He asked to give him answer on the next day regarding my second interview.
I think all the clever readers know what happened next. On Friday, he ask me to go for one on one again, I thought he is going to ask me regarding the status, anyway, he didn’t, immediately he ask me to leave the company. So I leave, without any chance to take any of my personal things. He asked the admin to pack for me. This incident shocked a lot of people in my department. I told some of them that “KyEK” will ask me to leave immediately but they don’t believe, they thought he is a good guy although most of us think that he is stupid…I proved that I am right.

Those who don’t know the story before thought I really did something serious that he need to ask me to leave, I tell you, I DIDN’T, the only mistake I did is leaving company for interview without informing him (anyway, trust me, I will die even if I told him earlier). I think the golden fingers will tell him about this blog that I posted up and he will tell them that I am stubborn, too egoistic and no point keeping me because I never listen to people. The other way he will say is no comment on her anymore since she left and he will still believe that he is right. Hehe, I think you are right, but not everyone thinks you are. I might make a mistake and I deserve for all that happened but I know the better way to solve the problem.

Ipoh Trip- Another surprise

It was a rainy day when we wanted to visit Kellie Castle. We almost cancelled the trip, luckily we didn't.

We saw someone with camera shooting somethign, we thought it was personal shooting or may be some low cost local movie shooting and definitely we are wrong. This is a team which do reaserch on Kellie Castle and the owner to produce a documentory about it.

We meet a director cum actor of a documentary. The Indian men behind are all the actor in the documentary. This is a story base documentary which show the story of Kellie himself and how this castle look like if completed.

Although we didn't know the name, he explain patiently to us every story he know about Kellie and the castle to us.

Everyone is listening and enjoying the session.

No regret going there for 3 times a year (only me and Francis) even though is a raining day becasue we finally get some reliable information compared to just listening to rumors about the ghost story.
