New Chapter of Life

For the past few weeks, I was actually struggling myself in adapting into new environment of university life. Life was not easy for the past few weeks and extremely tired for the programs organized. For me, it should be considered as a good chance to reevaluate myself so that I am able to improve in term of mental and physical approach.

In fact, I recalled back a lot of memories which was buried in my brain for decade. Perhaps, it is all for my own good to behave as an undergraduate student. Orientation week was such a week that really testing on our ability in coping with obstacles in life. How do we react in the situation is extremely vital and playing a role in building up our character. Perhaps, there were a lot of strict rules and regulations to be followed by it just the matter of time for each individual to get adapted to them.

I understood how difficult to manage a team especially when it comes to hundred of us and with different backgrounds. The attitude is sure to be vary in each individual. In addition, half year holiday had caused us to be less disciplined. So, strict seniors are essential to lead us. Hence, I did not blame them for “torturing” us for sleeping less than 5 hours a day in average. The reason being that they even slept less than 3 hours a day. So, really thanks for their contribution.

There were combination of basic knowledge regarding the whole system of organization of the university and motivation talks being shared to us during the whole orientation week. Learning and mixing new friends were what I had done for the week. I believed in my deep heart that god always guide the way for me as long as I have putting my effort. Even though where I will be in, there will always have a close friend that able to assist me in whatever way he could. The friend I mentioned here is close friend. I am fortune to say I have found one, he will be my friend when I am in need. I hope that we can be friend forever. Thanks to the arrangement of fate that brought us together form far part of world.

Another good news from me is that I finally able to talk to my old friend. An old friend which I missed so much. He was my junior at once when I was in primary school. And now, he is a future doctor and study in the same campus as me. Yeah, for your information, I am studying dietetic course in UKM, K.L.

For me, I really appreciate the friendship we have built since I was in primary school. In fact, I have met him before in my form six time. However, I just do not know how to start on the conversation until now only we met each other after a year time. For me, I believed in fate and I hoped tremendously that it will be continued wherever we are in future. I will treasure it as a sign of friendship forever.

I was in Bangi for a couple of days and back to KL Campus for the remaining orientation week. I will study in Kl for another 4 years to complete my degree in bachelor of dietetic with honor. Let see what my room condition:-

In fact, being a doctor was my ambition since secondary school. As I have studied form five, although my result is ok but I knew that it cannot offer me a seat of medicine. Hence, I took the challenges of STPM, form six. I said to myself, give myself a second chance to prove that I am able to study. So, i took STPM because I know STPM is world recognized. However, life is unpredictable. I could not get medicine course in local university. I am just thinking to stop my dream now but I felt not worth it. The reason is I have fought all the way from SPM to STPM until now. I should deserve a chance. I kept thinking and searching for solutions but there are merely two ways I can do. One is through MCA channel but with slim opportunity. They even advised me to appeal within UKM faculties so that it is more convenient.

I know in my deep heart my chance is slim, but I still insist on my perception that work until the end of the path. At least, I would not feel regret in my future life as my son asked me, “Daddy, why can’t you be a doctor but a dietetic?” I will answer him that I have worked my level best to fight for it but I have failed to achieve it. At least, I do not blame myself later for not trying to grab the chance that seemed to be little.

A lot of procedures have to be done for appealing course. For your information, when the time I knew the procedures, it was the last deadline of the appealing section. Some of them had refused to go appeal but I insisted. I knew that opportunity is to grab but not leave. I take the challenges to settle all the essential documents. Before I know, I was required to hand over my appeal letter to HUKM’s faculty of medicine before 5.00pm. I was in rush to go there and I try my level best to reach there with a few of others students who wanted to appeal too. We took taxi to there and reached there before 5.00pm. I was so lucky that being directed way by the staff there to the destination and I was being told that the Prof. is here as his car is here.

My friend and I went to the office and the staffs there said that he is not here and went for meeting. But, with our persevere mindset, even though three time the staffs there persuaded us to leave our appeal letter to the clerk but we still insisted to wait until he is willing to see us. We bear the hungry and thirsty to wait until 6.++pm only the Prof. free to meet us. At last, we have a discussion and we handed over our appeal letter hand in hand to Prof Datuk Dr. Lokman Saim.

Persevere really give us a good motif. We don’t know how is the result will go to be, but I left no regret in my path in persuading medicine course. I know I have done the good job as persevere in handing over appeal letter. A great courage to step out compare to the others. I know I will not regret and I relieved from my worry.

Now, I just hope that I can able to study hard. If really there is a vacancy, I will study it but if there is no, then I will remain in dietetic course. Until now, I need to ask my fellow audience or friends regarding how to study effectively in university? As i found that most of the lectures all like rush time and I unable to catch up the speed of the lecturers. If you have any good suggestion in studying during lecture or skill on study effectively during university life, please do leave me a comment. THANKS!!!!

My Fifth Italian Restaurant

I am sorry to say for the long period of no update news. In fact, I am recently struggling myself regarding my future career. Let me write down on the fifth restaurant first before it has lost in my memories.

My fifth Italian Restaurant is located in K.L area too. It is quite near where is in Bukit Bintang area. The name of the restaurant is PREGO. Has anyone heard it before? A clue for you is this restaurant is inside a hotel. Guess what, it is in The Westin hotel.

We were shocked what we first reached there as there are officers of the westin hotel waiting for us. We were like stunned for a moment as we were not treated as this before as those we are VIP. Later, we only realized that the PREGO restaurant is under the supervised of The Westin Hotel.

We setup our equipment and got really to take our shot. The food was served in order and I can say the whole things run smoothly. Nothing much I could comment as there are officers to assist us. Quite good to meet with people from hotel line as I not practice it before.

A very funny experience that I never experienced before. Again, it is dealing with knowledge and common experience as well as language. The dish’s main ingredient is from turkey. As far as I considered, turkey should be “fire chicken” which we will serve it during Christmas.

The story begin, there were 5 of us sitting in the same table and chatting after work as well as served the food there. Two officers from The Westin Hotel, our agent, my uncle and I. The fun began, our agent ask “How do we say turkey in mandarin?” She asked my uncle and in fact in my deep heart I have said “fire chicken in mandarin”. However, my uncle doubt first and all of the others remained silent for that particular moment. As my uncle’s assistant, I guess I am responsible to answer ands assist him in whatever ways if possible. I said it out the answer but in very low volume.

Within that few seconds, my uncle said an answer which indicate camel in english. I just like doubt that is my answer turkey=”fire chicken” in mandarin? The two officers there corrected it for my uncle. You will know what happen next. Use your imagination i guess you will know it.

The mixing feeling like I could help him at first but because of my doubt and less confident regarding the word, I could have help him to avoid this but leave him alone for answering. I just can say sorry lah! I have tasted the food there. Quite good. And we managed to get a free vegetarian pizza, different taste and favor. Overall, is ok.

Life within these couple of days

I am free now as I have quit 80% of my jobs. Hence, I have plenty of time at home wondering around to do what and sitting on the sofa as well as day dreaming myself with no purpose. In fact, this sudden change has just made me felt that not comfortable and required a bit of time to get adapted.

You might ask me what about the other 20% job? Yeah, it will be the fifth Italian Restaurant on the next Tuesday. Actually, we needed to take today but unfortunately unable to arrange it. Hence, it has postponed to next Tuesday.

As I mentioned earlier, I did not work starting this month. Thus, I have to plan something for myself to do in order to spend my precious time. I have a lot of things in my mind which need to be accomplished. However, I just feel like need to get myself a rest. In fact, all the things I wished to be done have a minimum progression within these couple of days.

At first, I wished to give myself a total rest. Therefore, I started to watch drama series. However, even watching my favourite TVB drama also could not stimulate me to proceed further. I don’t know what had happened to me? I just had a feeling that I am wasting my time here and watching movie that cannot provide any benefits. Perhaps, this is a sign of growth which resulting the change in my life style. I still remembered that I was a “series killer” which enable to watch the whole drama within 2 whole days the longest.

However, my attitude started to change recently with no more severe “series killer” but just watch the drama shown in TV for about 4hours the longest starting 6.00pm to 9.30pm. If compared to last time, I could watch at least 12 hours a day. The situation has totally changed.

Anyway, it is a good sign too and I don’t worry so much. I started to read books when I have leisure time or even when the time I woke up. Today, I spent my whole day reading a book of title -Sun Tzu’s Military Strategic. I brought it 2 years ago and did not have time to read it. In fact, I started reading it in January until now. Owing to working and tiredness after working, I did not spend a quality of time to read the book.

For your information, in my whole life until now, I merely read a few books which can be counted using my both hands. I do not have reading habit but I wish I can have it. I know that my additional knowledge can be gained through reading. Hence, I will choose books that related to my life for my reference in future. I chose this book is because it has been instilled in my mind since I was young that Sun Tzu is a great warrior. He able to guide the people to manage and react when come to war. There is a saying that business is just like a war. How can you and should you react when come to business world is closely related to the strategy of war. Hence, I wish to find out more about the related informations.

There are thirteen chapters in this book which covered the whole idea of war. In fact, I am not learning the technique of starting a war but the skills of managing a business. I wish to be a successful person in future which really have no boundary or border when come to the word–success. One success is different from the others. Success is not equivalent with career. Some of you might say what am I talking about?

Let use myself as an example. I wish that my career can help people but I hope that my success is to be a rich people. So my career will be something related to medication field and my success is rather big and I just think that I do not want to say it here because some might say you must be dreaming.

Dream big, that is what I used to say. It is no harm to dream big but it will be extremely dangerous if no action is taken. The reason being the dream just cover your rational and causing you to be in low spirit mode and resulting you to waste your precious time just merely dreaming. Again, I am still learning how to take action and that is why I read this book to backup me if I must success in future.

The book cover quite a lot of detail things and some of them just too hard for me to understand. As so of them need to experience practically for understanding purpose. It will take time to understand first the whole concept. However, understood the concept does not mean can fully apply the concept as they are totally different circumstances. How to put it into practical will be another thing to pick up.

Today, I read book for the whole day. It is my first time in my life. It let me feel that I am actually gaining something and not wasting my time. Indeed, I felt dozed off in between the reading but I still think that I have done a good job by getting myself rest for while and continue reading. At last I read the whole book at night before writing this post.

My Fourth Italian Restaurant

I guessed this will be my last restaurant to visit. Anyway, there will be one more restaurant to go, but I am now considering whether to go or not. The reason simply because I need a few days for me to settle down before accepting the news from the local university. I don’t know, perhaps I should let my friends to decide whether you all want me to accomplish my fifth Italian restaurant or instead of it. Leave your choice in my comment, it will be taken under my consideration.

Yeah, this restaurant is located in town too. It is very closed to foreign countries’ embassy office and KLCC. Obviously, it is a high class restaurant which often being visited by executive officers around that particular area. I did meet a Datin there but I did know who is she. Anyway, I have to admit that this is an excellent restaurant which has a fantastic customer service (even though we are not their customers and eat without paid for the dishes).

The interior design there is good, I will rate it 7 if the highest rank is 10. Simple but comfortable, no much decoration with fancy items. After having visit to the Italian restaurants, I found that they are more focusing on the design and the whole environment of the restaurant which enable to bring up the mood of having meals. No like Chinese restaurant which is more focusing on food but some of them just neglected the vital of design. In a nutshell, Italian used to play in art but Chinese used to play in dishes.

If you asked me to elaborate on the good customer service there, I will say they really made their biggest effort to assist us. The captain there made the arrange just nice for us to take photos. I can say this restaurant has given the biggest cooperation to make our lives much easier.

Moreover, the boss also joined us to have lunch together. He even served us nicely and explained to us the dishes. In fact, I was nervous to have lunch with him. The reason simply because I have ZERO experience in table manners. Frankly speaking, I seldom use cutlery and fork to eat. I can say most of the time I use either spoon or chopstick to have my meal. When come to real practice in table manners, I have nothing in my mind but a lot of movie style that flashed through my mind. I pretended extremely polite when cutting the food, swallowed it without making any sound. Acting like very gentleman, but not in real. Really a funny feeling! I just cannot get myself adapted to that situation.

Every actions had to be extremely careful. The boss there did served us nicely and even allocated the food for us. In fact, I did not eat beef. Unfortunately the boss gave me the beef that caused me to eat it as manners reason. I just did not know how to reluctant it within that few seconds, moreover he had highly recommended this beef as the most delicious dish and most expensive one. What can I do? My uncle ate it and so do I. Sorry cow, I did not mean to eat you as your are vegetarian, so guilty in my heart.

He did explain to us all the dishes include where were the ingredients came from and etc. Unfortunately, I could merely understand 30% as he spoke it in high speed and a lot of new terms as well as countries’ names that I totally never heard them before. This can be a result in poor P.A knowledge which did not cover the food knowledge in respective countries. Just kidding!

When came to pizza, I guess most of us quite familiar in using our hands to taste it. However, the boss used cutlery to eat it. I was a bit worry, “Is that the proper table manners?”. My uncle and I used the cutlery too (actually I just pretended that I know how to eat pizza in using cutlery). It could be so embarrassing if you did something wrong on the table by using your hands to taste the pizza as this action might result in misunderstanding of Italian by thinking that we are rude. This was the thought when he used the cutlery to taste pizza.

Anyway, he used his hands at last to eat the pizza. I relieved and put the cutlery down as well as using my hands to eat it too. When came to socialize, there were plenty of time without any conversation when having meals together. You could not just sit there and eat the dishes without joining into the conversation. I mean everyone who sit in the same table should contribute something to let the conversation to roll.

If you are in that situation of mine, would you say something when every things turned silent as there are nothing to say? If so, what are the things you will be saying in your first sentence to let the conversation get started? It was a difficult time for me to say something, my role in that table is to agree what were being discussed. I knew that I will have a difficult time to be a P.R officer if I wish to be in future.

Yeah, I did start my first sentence by asking him “What was your age when you become a chief?”. (As I knew that he was a chief before and later came to Malaysia to open an Italian restaurant). At first, he couldn’t hear me. That was the time you will get panic as what you have said not being understood by the foreigner. You will properly need to repeat it again, but you might have the feeling of less confident. I did experience it at that moment but I know I have to voice out in higher volume (but still in polite manner) to repeat my question again. Confident really plays an important role when come to real practice of communication. Then, the ball kept rolling until I did not know what to say.

Even though you failed to say anythings afterward, you wouldn’t be neglected in the conversation as the people knew the existence of you and they will contribute in the remaining conversation. As long as you said something in the conversation, you will be treated as person who know to socialize because you do not hide yourself and sit aside as well as eating your food merely. That was my point of view regarding a conversation with a stranger or person you just know unofficially.

Another things just crossed into my mind, the foreigners really have a big ambition in their mind. Why? This is because they already setup their mind in their teenage who they want to become in future. The boss actually an assistant in the kitchen when he was 17 years old. I made a guess that he is a bit young like 30+when I saw him. So, he said he had stayed in Malaysia for 10 years and yet not married. Then, he will properly be a chief when the age of 23+ as the earliest age who have mastered the Italian food and can be a 5 star chief in Italy. Later, he migrated to Malaysia to open his first restaurant.

A 23 years old man can be brave to go oversea and setup his first restaurant by himself. He definitely need to apply loan to renovate and design his restaurant. So many investment had to be put in when opening of new restaurant, he still can settle it. Really admired him! Our chief in Malaysia will have a different thought as they will work until 40+ only start to create their own business. Even though want to open a new restaurant also, they will properly choose Malaysia as the place to open instead of other countries. The Italians think in another perceptive, they will invest even at the early age. So, they usually get what they want much more faster than us. And now, he owned a few restaurants in K.L and Sunway area. He lives in Bangsar area which can be considered very rich people in my point of view.

It reflected something in my life- i.e. I need to setup my mind and really work on the goal without any hesitation. Think big will have better effect and full plan have to be worked on it as the blueprint of the whole idea. So, I hopefully I will have a firm direction after the announcement of the result of entry into local university.

My Third Italian Restaurant

Yeah, do you all still remember that I am recently working on a project with my uncle about the Italian Restaurant. Today, I went for my third restaurant for photography section. The restaurant is in the town area which is located near Imperial Hotel. You might know the meaning of soft, lord but I doubt that do you know what is the meaning of “Loft”?

You might be wondering why am I asking this question, the reason being the name of the restaurant is “The Loft of K.L”. When I first reached there, I just do not understand the meaning of loft. I stretched my heard out also do not know. After I found it in the dictionary, it means “room, place used for storing things, in the highest part of a house under the roof.”

Firstly, in my first impression, I would say that the restaurant is bit scaring as the whole mood is in dark. You can hardly see through the inner part of the restaurant from outside of the restaurant. Perhaps, it is a style of Italian. However, I was wrong when I entered into the restaurant. It is class and luxurious restaurant with a small stage and band equipment as well as beautiful interior design. Before you step into the restaurant, you can see a fish pond on your right hand side. Personally, I like fishes especially Koi Fish. So, it is a good design for me.

Talking back to the photography section, it was an obstacle which caused us wait about half an hour. Anyway, we have finished it within one hour++. If really want me to point out a few things that really impressed me in this restaurant, I would said the toilet. You will never believed that there is a unique design in this restaurant regarding the toilet. It is gentle and lady are in the same room!

It was rather amusing when I asked where is the toilet from the waiter, they showed me into a lady. First, I thought the waiter must be misconducted me or am I so sissy that she thought I am a lady. For your information, there is no door to specifically divide the gentle and lady. There is only a small corridor before you can see the Sanitation Equipment. When I first saw a signboard representing lady, immediately, I came out from the corridor. I saw around but unable to find another corridor or door. I guessed the waiter couldn’t make joke like this, so I went in and saw there is another side without any barrier and it is totally combined with lady–the gentle.There is only a box like structure that made the separation. So, if anyone would like to come here and wish to go toilet, you need no to worry that you are directed wrongly.

There were a few more dishes which I did not have time to take photo with because of limited time. Sorry for no sharing enough food if you wish to see more. The food there was ok lah. No need to pay but can eat, want to complain what more! But, if you really want me to pin-point a dish, I will said there is a dish some sort like “chocolate cake” is fabulous, tasty and full of chocolate combination.

*The pizza is ok but the Modesto’s pizza is better.

My Job Within Five Months Holiday

I guess some of my friends are wondering what am I doing recently. Actually, I work two part-time jobs. I work as a part-time photographer and IT support officer. Let me just elaborate on my photographer experience first in this chapter.

As I mentioned earlier, I work with my uncle who is also a professional photographer. He employs me. Five months time, I did experience a lot of things. Owing to this job, I have my trip to Johor which is a state that I have not been since I was born. That is a special function which is a wedding of an Indian couple. I have not been to any Indian’s wedding party, it was my first experience. The couple is Christian, so we went to church and at night they had their party near the seaside. Romantic indeed! It was totally different from our culture of Chinese which less of movement. What do I mean here is that Chinese used to treat their guests in order and serve their guest with food and beers. Then, all shout “喝sing…..” and sit there waiting until the end of the function.

For this couple, they did it in another manner. The food is like buffet and had to be self service. The food was not as nice as Chinese’s wedding. However, what do I really admired was that the interaction among the relatives without considering their age. Do you know what I meant? Let me give you a hint, the interaction involved movement. Yeah, it is dancing. They employed a live band with members of three. They initiated the party and more and more people came out to join them in front of the stage. You can see a lot of people dancing with hot songs and their dancing skill is like a professional. Chinese cannot do this in front of their own relative usually as “we” are shy and phobia to come out in front of the stage.

A simple band with hot music, the mothers of both couple came to dance and enjoyed. The young and old people joined and have a wonderful time. I just think that this is really a fantastic moment.

Besides that, I have the opportunity to go Melaka too. My uncle able to get job from Subang Parade and hence they employed us to Melaka Parade for taking commercial photos. Most of the photos in the annual report of that particular company is being done by us. Nothing special happen here but I have a wonderful time when staying in Melaka as that was my second time to Melaka. The traffic all changed as all are one way direction. Hence, if you miss out a junction to turn, you might need to drive around and come back. Really difficult.

The most benefits that I gained was joining events that organized by the Mead-Johnson Company. I have joined 3 times in total. One was in a Hotel (K.L.area) , one was in Genting and the last was at Hilton Hotel in K.L Sentral. I could explore to many things that I was totally a newbie. Namely, a night ball function. Everyone dressed up nicely as prince and princess. They just wore that best clothes which cost them 1 month salary (I guess). I wished I can be one of them and have fun together that night. If really wished to be one of them, I will wish to be the manager or CEO as you will be the most magnificent people on that night.

Then, I worked as portrait photographer in PWTC for MamiBaby Magazine. Actually, there was a kid function there. I was the assistant photographer with another partner who was the student of my uncle. I still remembered it was a two days work. Most of the babies took photo with their parent and they are a few of them took individual photo. No everyone took a good photo especially for those who baby was too small. They are the one who really cannot make them laugh or even smile. Anyway, I enjoyed that because I can see a lot of parent who just have their newborn baby in hand took a memorable photo at our counter.

Most of the time, I have the chance to take dishes as my uncle worked for 美味风采. Hence, I can say I will work as part time Hochak team eating here and there. Let me reveal to you a little secret. Sometime, you might have the experience of the dishes in the catalog is no longer same as the food served. The reason simply because of the photography technique. Lighting plays a vital part in contributing the shining and sparkling of the food. The angle of taking the photo will definitely have the magnificent effect on the food,so the food appeared to be “big and worth to eat”. A word summarized all, that is illusion. So, don’t get cheated especially for the famous restaurant (as they have big budget in photo shooting).

Last but not the least, I guess my last job with uncle will be the recent project which is related to Italian’s dishes. It is a project under government with the purpose to introduce more Italian in Italy that how successful of Italian making their own business here. It will be good to attract more investment to Malaysia. There are total of ten restaurants to take photos,up to now we have only did two restaurants. I guess I am only able to take for another three more.

The first restaurant is located in the k.l area near jln.p.ramlee. The name of the restaurant is Modesto. It is beautiful restaurant. The owner of the shop is a foreigner. He is quite young and I guess should be 40 below. However, he own a lot of branches in K.L. Moreover, he expended his restaurant to Singapore and other ASEAN countries. The food there is good and after the photo section, he treated us with pizza and pasta. It was my first Italian dishes, I would say it is delicious dishes.

Today, I worked in the Tamarain Hill Restaurant near the Flamingo Plaza. It is a spa restaurant with the interior design that really emphasize on natural. The entrance is small and not obvious. When you cross by, you will not notice it. However, when you step into the entrance, you will able to see a long path with full of flora at the both sides. This is a good design as people with full of stress in mind will be able to relax by leaving their anxiety at the entrance and step in to a new dimension of natural world.

Personally, I love the interior design of the restaurant. Along the path, you will be able to see a turtle’s pond. Just before you step in the third floor of the restaurant, there is another fountain in front the front door of the restaurant. Only one word can describe the scenario, i.e. BEAUTIFUL!

There are 3 floors, by walking down from the stairs, you will reach the second and ground floor. My photo section destination is at the ground floor, so we just went there to setup. At the ground floor, you will be able to see a natural scene surrounding you and there is a swimming pool in another side of the ground floor. I just wish that my house is design in that manner. However, I just feel a bit of scary with the decoration. Anyway, it is beautiful. The chief did not serve us with food, so I did not able to taste their dishes.

Langkawi Trip

I went to Langkawi on the 2th of May with my classmate from secondary school. It supposed to be our class trip which was delayed until now after 2 years time. At first, we were thinking the destination of trip. One of my friend suggested to be in Genting.

However, I just want to go a bit further and be more adventurous as I have worked in Genting before. In my personal view, I have been in Genting quite a lot of time. Hence, there are less attractive for me and I just cannot know what to enjoy in the Genting. Moreover, I have a trip recently to Genting with my colleague (YF. Hong and JS. Fong). In additional, remember that I mentioned earlier I work as a part-time photographer assistant. Owing to this reason, I will go to Genting once or twice in every months since I have been working with my uncle. Most of our jobs relevant to food and dishes under Genting restaurant. Hence, I made my mind and suggested a special trip to Langkawi.

Along the way of planning, I found that to organize a trip, you must have a systematical way. Besides checking it online, you have to personally made a phone call to the owner. As most of the time the website of that particular thing that we searched might not be updated version.

I might say that I was a bit lucky as I found something really cheap than usual. I searched it online and I found her website and video on Youtube. The first impression was that “Can I trust this offer?” For your information, the apartment rental supposed to be RM300++ as the cheapest. However, the same apartment which offer to me the same condition as stated in another website that I found was about RM220. If you are me, do you believe blindly without hesitation or you will say this must be a trap? What do you think?

I admitted that I am a bit of worry about the offer at first. Yeah, I did hesitate when come to make the decision. One of my consideration was that I must cut down the budget for my team and get for the lowest price of rental as possible. I have once came into the point that, yeah I just don’t want the offer for safety.

However, I have made my final decision after a call. I SMS the contact as stated in the website. The person I contact was a lady. Later, she called me up after a few minutes of sending the SMS. She asked me about the confirmation of booking. I just doubt that she is sincere or not. Actually, I was not prepared to communicate with her and suddenly she called up me causing me out of witness. If you are me at that moment, what is your option, confirm the booking or delay it? If delay, what is your excuse?

I chose to delay. I said I am a student at first in the SMS. Hence, I said can we get some more offer/ discount for booking your apartment. Can you guess what, she did give us RM 10.00 discount, so we only have to pay RM210.00nett per night stay. I asked whether have any hidden fee, she said no and some more no government charge (anyway Langkawi is a duty free zone).

I gave my excuse by saying I would like to discuss the matter with my team member first, so if you will to face the same situation like me, you can use the same trick to get avoid cheated first. At least what you can do to make the trip to be more safer is to check all the details and never make any instant decision. Come to check the truth of this existence offer, I would like to ask you, how can you determine this offer is whether a fake or real?

For me, first I have to know, the person I contact is really exist in this universal. So, I called up the apartment and asked for the staff there regarding the person that I contact. Then, I have to ensure that she must be living there as she told me that she stay at the same apartment. You know what, all the answer I got is true. It means that she is the owner of a few unites in the apartment. I asked my friend about the offer and they just agree without any hesitate. After the call, I have more confident about the offer as the staffs there really convinced me by saying she is the owner!

So, I made my mind that I should take the offer without further delay. For your information, we have to pay by account transfer through banking. After all the things settle, I need to handle another thing with YF.Hong that was transport. We were late to buy tickets and we enable to buy the return tickets from the same company(transnational). So, we chose another option which was recommended by the staff there as the tickets available were merely from Etika company. We had no choice but to accept it. However, I found that the seat for Etika Bus is more comfortable than transnational bus. Thus, I felt happy too.

At last, I went there and have fun over there. Moreover, I found that the owner is very nice to us as I always “kacau” her at night for wine opener . However, she still with her smiling face and offer her help. Thanks for her kindness . Moreover, she taught me a knowledge in opening of red wine. Let me test all of you, when you have opened a red wine. What is the thing that we need to take note especially for the cork?

Call for help to Sichuan and Myanmar Victims!!!!!

I was shocked in my life when I opened the newspaper today. It was a great disaster for china in Sichuan. In my deep heart, I really cannot bear with the natural disaster anymore as this had happened in Myanmar.

The most important thing is that children are the innocent one. There was a primary school collapsed after the earthquake in Sichuan. 900 students buried in live…… I just wonder how can this happened to them as they haven’t had a chance to explore to this world and they were focused to leave.

It is rather a conflict for me when I sat down and thought for a while. I felt so guilty for not able to help them as the disaster happened. Retrospect the tsunami case, I remembered I have hold a fund raising for the victims in school and that is a little effort I can put in. However, at this moment, I am waiting for result and not bonded to any society. Hence, I have no way to offer my help.

For my case, money donation is limited from me as I am still a student. I guess the biggest effort I can contribute here is to call out a fund raising program which enable more people to be aware of the helplessness victims of the disaster.

If anyone of you have any charity work require volunteer for the fund raising, I am available and ready for offering my help. I am still young and I guess I must be able to help in any kinds of jobs. So, nicely contact me by send me a nudge through msn and my msn is seehoe88@hotmail.com. Let see how we can arrange the following things.

NOW, let put our hands together and help the remaining one to keep on their lives. Let them feel the warm from far distance in every single corner of the world, let them have the courage to stand up and face with the challenges waiting for them. Hoping them have the greatest bless from all the religions and may the spirit of the sacrificed victims to rest in peace and ready to crossover.

Gear Towards Your Ideal Life

My Direction…

During this couple of days, I was doing something really boring. Working, watching TV, sleeping and the next morning working again. The ball keep rolling with no aim, no energy and no strength for me. I do not know exactly what should I need to do in order to cope with the situation.

In fact, I started to hate myself, why should I living without an aim recently. I have been observing the people surrounding me. They are working tremendously hard for their lives. No rest for them as they need to earn the living for their family. Who am I mentioning here is my uncle (my mother’s youngest brother).

He is a photographer. I used to work as his personal assistant since I was form 4. Frankly speaking, he has a huge network in the photography field. Owing to this reason, he can get a lot of jobs and so do I. I helped him during the school holiday especially this time.

For your information, I have gone to quite a lot of big functions namely Mead Johnson Annual Meeting, Celebration Dinner, Advertising Dinner and HP New Server Launching Ceremony. Let me give you a bit of history, before 2005 the sale of Mead Johnson was not so good in fact almost bankrupt. Because of the renaissance in 2005 by promoting new package of product, they are able to beat the other competitors.

So, in a nutshell, never say lose when you have not reach to the end. There might be a chance waiting for you just one step in front. I found up something very interesting which I will never learn them in school. I guess, I need to share here to all my friends.

First, these big companies used to organize their function in 4/5 star hotel. For example, the recent Mead Johnson function that I participated was in Hilton Hotel. A question just cross into my mind, how can they have that huge budget merely for a dinner? From what I know, Hilton Hotel is very high class place which absolutely will charge like no body business. Just selling two popular product of Enfa-Grow and Sustagen enable them to have such glory success in win share in every store of the share market.

Second, there are intra-competition in the company. It shown when the time the celebration dinner from Mead Johnson. I dislike the complicated relationship in the office which you need to “pandai-pandai” treat your colleagues so that you are able to be promoted. Another question cross into my mind, how can I be outstanding in the office? You might say I do not need that, but to be realistic, you need that as you hope for high position and salary.

The CEO will not sympathize anyone in the office, if you are not giving enough to the company. You might be fired. CEO do not care for the intra /inter competition, the main thing is that they need to consider is the sale at the end of every month is profit. Hence, good management of the company is essential.

Coming back to myself. As I mentioned earlier, I hate myself. What I have planned for the holiday was gone just because I did not stay focus. I wish to learn musical instrument from my father, even I have initiated it but I did not maintain it. Besides, I wish to have my own business, I have a chance, but I did not treasure it and let the time past and I am still no improvement. I hope I can learn some basic Chinese medicine but I did not persevere on my perception.

A lot of thing just pass through me and without further elaboration from me. I regret so much. However, I STILL HAVE A BIT OF TIME TO CHANGE. Mind power is extremely effective. I guess I must be persevere for what I have set. Any suggestion for me regarding how to stay focus, please leave me a massage because I realized my biggest problem is cannot stay focus and easily be influenced by games and series movie from tvb.
