The first thing i saw when i went back was the "shit" was all around and MAX has bitten few pairs of shoe which not belong to me.

Happy Me! |
I can sense that my working life getting better since the first day of the year. Even though there are so many obstacles I have to face through. Finally the 4 months of working pay out something. I manage to back on the track. I can set 4 appointments a day so at the end of the day I would tell my self that. “YEAH BOY, keep up the good work” Do not let the rest look down on you.
Today I have met up with 4 directors for 3 different company, different character of peoples, but I noticed something similar which is they are in the early 30’s and they are the owner of the companies and they getting 5 figure salary monthly. Suddenly while filling up the form for my client, I started to think when will I have my own business and get a fat pay cheque at the end of every month. Then I started to look around and realize that I don’t have any idea that what kind of business I would like to run. Never mind, I tell my self, just give me some times for sure I can prove to myself that I can be like them too, own my business and get a fat pay cheque every month.Or maybe better than them.
After complete fill the documents, I went back to office. Is about 5p.m. and my working hour on Friday ended at 5, at that moment I just feel that I do not have enough time for my work and it was the first time I don’t feel like going home early because I wanted to finish my work. The satisfactory of completing a job is there, I don’t mind stay back abit late so I can finish up my job. The day was so peace because I have close a case and the snobbish lady was having her leave.
The day end fast. While having my dinner, my another customer call up and asked me to collect his company documents. For the sake of my job, I have agreed to look for him at night this is because I have to make sure that I provide a good service for the in convenient bosses and also to prove that my manager never hire a wrong person. Yahoo!!
I have spent my working hour in quality and I’m ending my blog with Good night….

The snobbish old lady |
For the past 4 months my working life was mess up, feel like I'm wasting my time in the office doing nothing. Never hit my target, nagged by my lady boss and top management has been a routine for me. Those wasn't the last thing happen in the office. The worst thing was the my "assistant branch manager" aka P.A aka front desk. She is the worst among all.
Lets name this lady ROSE.
I still remember, the first day to work , i was greeted by a middle age lady with manner and she was very helpful. Helping the new hire on the arranging the working area, stationary and such.Hmm not bad.
Week goes by, and i feel that she was not the polite lady that i saw for first time. The lady that i see now is a person who like to command, complaint and act like she's the branch head who control everything from cleaning to management. She even correct my boss pronunciation. She commented my boss. " Is not roadster is Roaster" In front of us. The telling her old time story. "When i was young, i always visit a stall and it has been more than 20 years the owner of the store still remember me."
The last week she scolded me!!Damn! I was suppose to get my ID code for the credit card so i called HQ regarding the matter. The answer i got was me and my colleagues have to answer a set of question before we entitle our code. So the personnel from HQ advised us that we should get our branch assistant "ROSE" "MAMA SANG" to assist us. The ROSE lady agreed to help us out so she liaise with the HQ for the set of question and we may continue on our job. After few hours the branch intern called me. " XXX, The lady call u." So the rose lady command " Take your exam in the room now" I replied : I will do it later, I'm in middle of something". So what i do was i just go back to my seat and do my job. WOnder what are the question that she will give to us.
OK time to check my mail......
Suddenly i notice that i received a mail from HQ and the content was " Please complete the exam and send it back to me" So what i do was i print the question out and try to discuss and figure out the answer. Suddenly the OLD LADY came in, she was about to go out for lunch. She saw I'm holding the set of question and with an angry look she said " I asked you to take the exam in the room just now but you refuse! Why are you doing it now? How do you get the set of question??!!"
" I just got it from HQ, they even sent the mail to us.So i just print it out and DO!" I replied!
"Please make it clear, they never send it to you. They email it TO me and CC to you so they are expecting me to arrange it for you guys!"
"Yayayaya" I just ignored her and keep looking for the answer.
She was so piss off and she said " I give you time to grow up, you would not know". She just walk toward the door and make a call.
It was so funny and satisfy when i see her face!! hahaha. She tried to call up HQ to report the case but the person in charge was out of the office.
THe next step is, i called up the person in charge and tell him what have happen to us. He just reply me " Dont worry about it, is not an exam. U just do it and reply me the answer through email."
hahaha rubbish old lady try to put me in trouble. Finally she back from lunch and the first thing she do was ask me to pass up the answer so she can manually send it to HQ for processing.
"NO need, i just called HQ and they said is not an exam and just reply them through email" AHAHA she was speechless and piss!!
Snobbish old lady! you met your opponent now!
The latest thing happen to me was, I'm having some discussion with my client and another colleague in the room. The bloody old lady just came in without knocking the door and just mention that "He is the one who looking for you this morning".
I was stunned!! OMG we are having our discussion please behave! " After my client left the office, straight i look at her and say " Next time when i have client in the room and we are having our discussion please do not just interrupt us! OK." Her expression change and still dare to answer me " OK! I wont go in next time. Just for your client" Damn!!!#$#$ IS she stupid or what@!! Is a simple working manner ok!!! I reported all this situation to my colleagues so they know what to do next time.
The latest story happen yesterday on 9 Jan 2008. She interrupt my conversation with my mortgage colleague. She told my colleague " I have 5 pairs of swimming suit and bikini. I wanted to go for swimming to keep my self fit but i have to wait for my husband together. But now i have to pass my swimming suit and bikini to my niece since i cannot fit into it. " HAhaha what a joke!!!

Foolish Tour guide |
Family is always number 1, so my uncle has planned for a family trip to Langkawi. The master planner has gathered all the family members of total 27 people for the trip. So the date, transportation and accommodation have been prepared earlier. Since my uncle has been in the tourism field for about 15 years. He get the best services, hotel and meals at a cheaper price.
Our Journey started from Cheras to Kuala Perlis by bus. The bus was so comfortable; we had snacks and jokes in the bus. Disturbing my Grandparents is the main thing in the bus. Both of them has been marriage for about 50 years. Funny part was they love to quarrel. My grandpa and grandma would not sit side by side.
So as usual I will said “ Cumon just sit beside your husband.”
Grandma: “ I don’t want, he just make me feel messy!”
Me: “ If u said messy then why both of u get married for such a long time! Ohh, when you were young you are so loving but when get old u said the old man make u feel messy”
(Haha!!! everybody laughing)
Cant believe a skinny tall Indian guy can fix it all alone.Finally the tyre has been fixed so continue. Around 10a.m we arrived at Kuala perils jetty. Too bad we have to wait for another 2 hours for the ferry because we are late. FINE!!
Everybody on board and finally we arrive at Langkawi around 2p.m.
Thank God!
Story begins here…………….
Everybody is hungry and hot. 27 peoples waiting outside of the jetty for a tour bus. So a guy came to us and inform us that his bus is on the way so asked us to wait for 15mins.
Waited and waited…….It has been 30 mins. Finally a lousy bus arrived. The tour guide asked us to leave our luggage by the road side so later on another better condition bus will pick up for us. Mean while he said we use the lousy bus to restaurant for Meal. Everyone started to grumble. “What?! Is not safe to leave it there!” Everyone so piss off Without any alternative way, we decided to bring our luggage together with us in to the smelly old bus. From that moment on ward, we does not feel good with that Tour Guide. In the bus, he introduce himself as SAMMY, and started to bull shit about things and talk about Langkawi as seem as we do not know about that place. When we asked about where is the restaurant? He replied “ Is near to your hotel and it take us about 15mins to the place.”
What the heck?! 15 mins again? The bus driver drove about 30mins to a restaurant that served Lobster. Hmmm..It better be good. So that SAMMY TOUR Guide, took up the mic and announced “ We have arrived so everybody get down and please carry along your luggage. Since is we going to have lobster for lunch, we forgive him. Suddenly :” Everybody , I’m so sorry this is not the restaurant that we going to have lunch for today. Please carry your luggage back to the bus and continue our journey to another restaurant.”
He announced again: “Sorry for the mistake, we will be arriving at the restaurant in 15mins time. This time it took us more than 30 mins to reach and we only take about 20mins to finish our lunch. Horrible.!!!!!!
Next plan - Check in

Why i wana be rich? |
Since young i keep on asking myself " Will i be rich in future? Can i achieve my goal to be the 10 richest man in the country? Doubting this will happen but i still tell myself that "Sure!! I'm going to be in the top 10 list" Still remember, during my first day of orientation at campus. The first question that my leader asked the group about "My dream". The group members answer, " I wanna be a civil engineer, an IT engineer or a programmer" But when the leader look at me, I answer him " I wana be a billionaire!!" My answer bring up laughter to everybody. i know it sounds abit crazy but I really know what I want to be in future. I wanna be a business tycoon ,achieve my goal to be a billionaire so that my relative wont look down on us.
Still remember,
When i was 16, my family and me went for a holiday at Genting Highland together with my uncle's family. It should be a fun trip because knowing that we will stay at my uncle's newly renovated 2 in 1 condo and for youngster like my siblings and cousins it would be fun because we can catch a free ride to the peak or Awana through the free shutter service.
Too bad things doesnt happen like what i hope it should be.
To cut the story short...
After about 90mins drive from KL we arrive at my uncle's condo. First impression.. WOW!! The design was pretty good and comfortable. Since we had our dinner before we reach, the adult decided to rest and watch news. While us the "young one's " decided to catch a shutter to Awana for few frame of billiards. It wasnt a good game because I have to pay for the game because looser pay.
When back to the condo, my mom asked me "Nick, who pay for the game?"
" For sure is me!" i answer. From my mom expression I notice something has happen when we were out. So my mom tell me " Do you know what you uncle mention " For sure my son pay for the game since your children first time to town, is like a "AYAM KAMPUNG". What he meant was they are the city guys who know alot of things while we are those people who do not know anything.........
" People who has expensive shoes please take it while the cheap shoe can leave it outside!" My uncle says that his family wear expensive shoes while we wear the cheap shoe. He insult again. This time it happen infront of me, how can he say so.!! Is not matter of the value of the shoe but is how he look down on us. He thought with the money in his bank account he can say what ever he feel so. Without knowing that his fat mouth is smellier that the dead rat!
Without my dad who sacrificed his time work in the factory, he wont have the money now. My dad has spent his childhood working as a labor so he can support all the younger siblings, so they have a house to live and food to eat. Without my dad he is nothing! Useless fat mouth.
From that time onward, I swear to myself that I wanna be rich, richer that him prove to him that anyone can be rich.Now i'm 25 and today is 29/12/2007 the word "AYAM KAMPUNG" still clear in my mind. He has awaken a sleepy giant!
I'm working toward my dream to be a billionaire and last but not least build up a Hospital for the poor people out there. Help those needed, I wana be rich in cash but the most important thing is rich in happiness.
SIgn out.

Strawberry Milk Shake |
" Do judge a book by it's cover" or " do not judge a book by it's cover"? The fact is people DO judge a book by it's cover. This mostly happen at the work place or boutiques. This is proven for most of the time and it happened to me most of the time.
I'm a guy who dont dress up when i visit show room or fine dining. One incident happen 4 years ago right after me final paper for the semester.
A friend called "T" suggest that we go for a nice lunch to celebrate and he suggested we go for lunch at restaurant nearby to the campus called MEE n RICE. In our mind we know that the food will cost us a little bit more but for the End of Semester celebration majority has voted for it so we decided to have a try.
Once we enter....
The waiter greet " Welcome" and passed the menu to us. Damn! The price was quite costly, a plate of mee costs about RM14 where some other place may cost us just around RM3.50.
Each of us take our order and my friend "T" ordered a Strawberry Milk Shake for his drink. Yummy.....
After 5 mins.........the waiter came and put a "pad" for each of us so he may place our drinks. What he did was he place it like "throwing freesbee ". RUDE!!!! It seems like we dont have the right to have our lunch at their place because we a young a dress up with our T and Jeans. Ok FINE!!! When that Waiter serve his last drink to us suddenly the Strawberry Milk Shake fall on T body. Haha here comes our Strawberry story.....
Sorry sir sorry sir.... That waiter apologize to my friend T, both of them went to toilet and clean up themselves. What we do was........ AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL !!!! and at the same time we called up the captain and questioned him. "Why your staff is so rude to us? Why dont he serve us politely? We have money to eat so do not judge us with our outfit ok. "
Even though we are students but we afford to enjoy nice and expensive food. Hehe dont think student has no MONEY. We may have more money that those people with credit card debtsss. Ahah! Gotcha
He is in deep shit now ! The captain started to apologize for their bad service and compliment Mr. Strawberry Shake a new drink.Ok fine. Mr Strawberry Milk Shake (SMS) finally came out from the wash room and look at us. "Shit! " is the first word came out right after he sit.
The Captain serve us with our lunch after that and we was enjoying our lunch for the whole one our with the joke until now we still bring it up during the gathering.
It was funny for us but bad experience for the waiter, captain and the worst was Mr. SMS haha.
So i believe that if each of us "do NOT judge the book by it's cover" treat everybody fairly things wont gone bad like what we thought it would be.
Think back, without the garbage man we wont have a cleaner place to leave.
Without a sewage maintainer we wont have a good sewage system.
SO people treat other fairly. A lesson for everyone of us. INCLUDE me
cheers

Feng Shui Alex |
To understand about feng shui has been a passion for me. Applying Lilian Too advise from the book do brought something good for me. After I tied a "3 old dimes" chain at the back of my front door knob, and some peacock feathers on the way up to the second floor, i have received 3 calls that required me to attend the interview. Hmm............. seems working.....hehe not bad
That was past....
Time fly, i have working for the BANK for 4 months but i dont see any progress on me. Life is just like a landslide for me or maybe the work "Tsunami" suit me more. My boss started to make noise asking why am I not performing compare to the rest. Saying me slow, not good enough and ...........boringggggggggggggggggggggggggggg....So after days of consideration, I called up a Feng Shui Master at Bangsar, a well known master fengshui that can predict accurately. So i was looking forward to meet him for some prediction hints on my career. Typical "chinese".
Appointment has been set on the day it self. The night with Master Alex was full with suprises and doubt. WOnder what he has predict going to be true or not. Saying my career will be alright, it take some times for me to achieve my goal. I'm going to be successful person by the age of 30. Making money from the age of 23 to 32...Hmm "Sure or not?"
From my experience,
" I have been losing money since the age of 23 until now ,I have been cheated 5000 by a bloody "lala chai". after few months my worker broke his leg and i have to pay for 7000 for the operation fee and my bloody uncle betray my dad trust and money. Damn useless uncle, and work for a low pay job"
The master mentioned, Is ok your time will come soon, by April of 2008, my career will be better and keep on moving forward. So we wait and see.He also mentioned that i will spend lot of money on fancy car by the age of 31. Few houses by the age of 40 and so on and My career with the bank will be better soon.
So what do you think?
Can it be true? Maybe better or worst? SHould i trust him? Or just rubbish????
Sleepless night

Money or interest? |
Been wondering for quite sometime... Whether money or interest is more important when we talk about the Job. This subject has been a dilemma for me since i graduated. My interest is always with the artistic part. Drawing and designing is in me for the past 24 yrs.
During my last semester in University, my uncle offer some designing job to me. The best part was i have to design a fully build kitchen cabinet for a Doctor couple. It was a challenging moment for an IT graduated guy to design it. But it was the most satisfying moment as the couple love my design so much. Not bad for a beginner designer. ( hehehe) Got pay for RM200 for few pieces of drawing blocks. ;-)
Then......... 2 weeks later, aunt called me up. Saying that her friend's wanted to change her beauty saloon concept to a Balinese style. I have charged a total of RM800.00 for the sketches and labor work.
The sad part was i ended work for my uncle for almost a year with a low pay. It was interesting job when we deal with arts but have to accept the fact that i got low pay for a beginner. What a tough time for me to survive.
Nah......... stop with the craps...........
Since then i have quit the job and been looking around for a better pay job without knowing what are the things that i really wanted to do. Now i ended up working in a well known international financial institution. The pay and benefit is always tip top but i don't feel happy ever since............. Going to work is always a nightmare for me............ Stress has been a very good friend of mine since then............ Mr. Stress has been my alarm clock for few weeks. Sleepless nightssss and free morning call at 4a.m is like a routine to me. Horrible.....
I am lost now........ Dont know what i should do. SHould i just quit the job and start all over again or just continue on my job......... God please give me some hints. My wish for the time being is to get a job which i like........Dont mind to get my pay cut a little bit.
So wonder people out there. DO you face the same problem? If so what do u do? Money or interest? Hope i get some people who can guide.
hmm... :-( Dilemma
Certless designer....
