Wow, I didn't realised I abandoned my blog for more than a month. Pai seh ! I was really busy with quarter end last month. Then right after that, had to go for dance competition the next day. I was deprived of sleep on the last week of Qtr end...some days I slept 2 hours, I think that week, I slept less than 20 hours a day.
Actually, I don't have to torture myself...but my role transitioned to another colleague since a quarter ago. I wanted to but I can't just let go like that n let the backlog numbers shoot high up. Since can't force, I have to do it lo. Every night have to monitor till late, working with production and calling Option/Shipping team to quickly pack & manifest those urgent orders, otherwise flights/vessle will be missed and there would be no second chance. Yup, it was indeed very critical. You have no choice unless you are the type who don't care or not responsible enough. In our team, everyone has to have two very important characteristics : Sense of Urgency & Sense of Responsibility. And with my added roles, I felt even more responsible. At the same time, stress levels added up coz need to prepare additional mgt reports every now and then.
I had hard time controlling my temper, you can't imagine at those stressful moments, you are like working in share market, every second counts, multi-tasking skill is already something you should have mastered to be in our team.
You have to understand your work processes well...there will be ppl pressing / squeezing more from you, trying to get things any possible way...if you are not prepared and on top of your numbers/situation/status, that's it, everyone will be looking at you...blames on you....criticise or even get more from you.
It was like fighting in a war, yet at the same time I had to train...very tiring and really testing my patience. I was sure I had raised my voice, scolded my sales or anyone...be it my colleague, management ppl, whoever...anyone who dared to suggest stupidity at those critical moments, anyone who dared to challenge policies set, anyone who made impossible requests, anyone who demanded status/report at the wrong timing, anyone who did not pay attention and kept asking, anyone who has shown lack of support or urgency, anyone who takes me for granted...I can go on and on...but I guess you know I was really frustrated and still managed to kept cool...by still smiling, joking and laughing at those ppl who got onto my nerves.
Well, that's work life. At the end of the day, you cannot be too calculative. I dunno about other ppl, for me, I work for my company, for my management, for my team. I am truly satisfied that my effort is contribution to company's objectives and goals, towards achieving CE. That is how I keep myself motivated.
With the team expanded, u can see some changes. Not everyone is as dedicated as the older members. I just hope and wish that everyone in the team is helpful and continue to keep the team spirit alive.

Sushi King RM 2 Promo
Yesterday we (with my 2 other guy colleagues) join bunch on Kiasus for the Sushi King RM 2 per plate promo. Ya ya, if u still dunno, u have until this Thursday. We reached eGate’s Sushi King before 12 noon. Already some 10 ppl waiting outside. Brandon gave his name on the waiting list….so we waited, waited and we waited…ya, some 30 mins before we got our seats…not that strategic, but approximately 3 metres away from the few ‘chefs’ in the middle preparing for hungry and ‘tham-ciak’ Kiasus.
A lot of blue and pink colour plates circling the belt…looks like a lot of Kiasus waiting for red & purple colour plates. We saw 4 of 5 ladies, plus 2 men….waiting nearby the middle section where the Chefs were busy preparing sushi with Unagi and Salmon. We were really surprised to see how ‘boh kuan’ these ppl can be…the grabbed those plates even before reaching the belt. Like hungry piranhas, they compete and snatched. Hands out of nowhere, in between us, in front, from the side…compete to grab the plates….really scary. I thought we were attending ‘Por Tor’ dinner. Goodness! And to think these ppl are mostly from factory, white collared workers.
Well when situation forced…guess what? We too tried our luck and joined in the ‘attack’. Really pai seh, but then, who cares since everyone’s doing it ? Whose fault is it?
Sushi King la…who asked them to limit those plates? And these ppl will not go until they tasted and had their fair share of the more expensive stuff.
If u have yet to experience this, go join the race….Good Luck.

Gloomy Day
Love the weather today. Not sunny, no rain yet...little breeze. Some birds chirping away. My dogs dreaming away... everything look peaceful.
I feel a little lucky to enjoy these...although can't fully enjoy it with the discomfort I feel (TYM), some more dad is not feeling well, down with flu. He's taking nap now. I just finished checking mails, nearly 100 emails for 1st half of the day !! Dunno what sort of culture my company set...sigh !
I wanted to go back to bed...but probably not, the weather is nice to zzz but too nice to waste on sleep. Maybe will go back to my office emails in a while before I decide what to do. I really dislike feeling moody and lousy...sometime I wish I am a guy, no need to suffer every month. U guys are damn lucky. No tummy cramps, no worries abt staining yr pants, no backache, no need to fish out extra $ for pads, swim any day u like, dun have to calculate or check the calendar and bring extra pads when travelling, no waking up few times in the middle of the night to wash up (in case flood/tsunami on the bed), it's so so so convenient for the guys huh.
If there's ever a next life, I want to be a guy la. There's plenty of ladies for me to choose, haha. I don't have to worry too much about which dress / clothes to wear, whether my shoes or bags match or not.
Alamak, rain liao. I hope not for long. Have a nice weekend.

Now Everyone Can Cry
If you have two flights on the same day, and if you’re thinking of flying via AirAsia, think again.
Yesterday, Meow received sms at 9pm+ from AirAsia informing his 1st flight from PEN to KUL delayed from 12:25noon to 2:05pm.
The SMS gave 3 numbers to contact for any enquiries or assistance.
03 - 8775 4000
+603 8660 4343
03-8660 4388
So he called and called till the line went dead. Then I found this at the website :
Our Call Centre Customer Service Team is trained to quickly assess the current seat availabilities and fare information. Our Management continuously monitors call waiting time and phone conversations to ensure superior sales techniques are in compliance with our policies. We staff our Call Centres to service our customers daily from 8.00 am to 9.00 pm
Big problem ! Cos his 2nd flight from KUL to Phuket is at 3:20pm. And that is the last flight. With approx. 20 mins left to catch the connecting flight, he wouldn’t be able to make it. And worst, no flights available on Thurs. His training is on Thurs morning.
Frustrations, anguish and really KNS!!
Went through the internet, found a lot of negative reviews complaining on delays...delays...delays! Not helping to calm leh...blood pressure increasing liao!
Helped him check for earliest flight : 8:10am. So I told him, the only hopeful option is to take a gamble. Else, fly via MAS and have a hard time to explain to his company's mgt ... and claim for the ticket ?...that would be another problem.
So sleepy now, slept at 3am, woke up before 6am. Went to AirAsia counter. The agent seemed steady and cool when I explained the issue...like it's a norm. After listening to me, he just said "Oh, he can take the 8am flight, check in now".
I asked "No extra charge?" He said No.
If he said yes, I would lose my patience and cool. I will make sure Dato Tony Fernandes receives a 'love' email / letter from me.

Thief in the House
Yesterday, back from work, discovered a thief. Insider’s job.
Whole loaf of bread…my dad ate one piece, what I found... left only 3 pcs….who is the culprit?
The same culprit that ate Bak Kua and stole Mandarin oranges during CNY.
Short but height is not a challenge for this culprit. I bet he had a good time partying with the food.

JJ I miss you
Was in KL last week. Saw JJ. He was happy to see us. But when we had to leave, he was so upset. He had his favourite orange ball in his mouth, hinting for us to play with him.
Then when he realised it didn't work...he went to sit at a corner, not wanting to come near us...even though I called him many times. He just looked at us with his sad eyes.
At that moment, my eyes went red...it was really emotional for me. I miss you JJ. He's a very obedient dog. I love U!

Bleeding Heart
.JPG)
I bought this plant from LPSM last 24 Feb, at the Upper Pg Road. It's called Bleeding Heart. In Mandarin, I think they call it 'Loong Choo' (Dragon's Pearl). I snapped the pix last night. The seller told me, once the flower blooms, it will drop off. Lucky thing I snapped it last night. This morning before I went out for work, indeed, the flower had dropped off. So fast !
But it was really beautiful.

Malaysia Gemilang, Rakyatnya Malang?
Everyday the newspaper / TV news is full of bias views. The so called ‘dacing’ is supposed to shown balance… justice…but what you see/read is merely showing positive stuff of BN. See liao also no mood…might as well visit opposition blogs for more true stories, scandal, corruptions…stories ‘behind the scene’. Stories that make yr blood boil…make u swear at times… KNN, govt. Chiak Lui, chiak ka pa pa !!
It’s real sad to see we still have beggars, children begging at street, homeless ppl walking in dirty clothes, sleeping at bus stops, roadside, etc.
I still remember my China grandma hit by a motor more than 10 years ago. She had a broken neck and paralysed neck down. She couldn’t move and sent to GH. She did not survived long, less than a week…cause of death was Pneumonia. Her lungs were infected and full of water. Because there was not enough special beds (which can be adjusted to slant) for patients like her, the drips into her body had filled her lungs. I am very upset. It wasn’t the accident that killed her. And worst…the guy who knocked her, hit his head, had his head X-trayed. He was advised to go home, doctor said he was fine. 3 days later, he died due to blood clot in his head. What sort of standard do we have for health and medical care? Innocent ppl who had survival chances but their lives being gambled at the hands of our govt. ?
My grandma was a very strong woman, she came from China. I believe she could still be alive if not for the inadequate resources our medical centres have…and the guy, he could probably be attending some Ceramahs and enjoying coffee with his friends. And the innocent baby girl Yok Shan who lost her hand...she can never enjoy swimming, dancing, pool games, playing piano, etc without facing challenges. I pray that our country will be more caring, more people-oriented, more humane pls!
God Bless Malaysia.

I love You and You and You...
Someone asked me some time ago, can we love more than one person at one time?
Can you?
Well, I can.
But too bad, I cannot be with all the people I love at the same time. I can only choose to be with the person I love most...the person who care for me most. Who can accept me for who I am...whom I am comfortable to be with, whom I won't feel bored of...who is my friend, who is there for me when I need someone most....ya...that would be my choice.
Love can be divided. If u r to cut it into pieces like cake, I guess, some will be bigger pieces, some smaller.
There are some we like them for their character, personalities but seems like we r not fated together.
There are those who seems like ideal partner to be with but do not loves us enough to choose us...or cannot commit...or not ready....all those excuses.
Or there are those we think so perfect, so good but already attached or married...too bad.
I dunno about you...what do u think? Can you love more than one person?
Can you?
Well, I can.
