Happy New Year

It's been so long....so so long that I hardly remember to blog liao. Getting lazy and busy as well. Not to say...I dun even read blogs.

So, new year...some had made new resolutions but me ? Hmm...nah... I dun and had never made any. I tend to act more on my feelings and wants (that explains on many of my unnecessary purchases, my dad complained I bought too many sandals, ueek~~!). Oh...not forgetting the dozens of clothes... (still can wear and some, hopefully can wear again - provided I manage to shed off few more kilos in .....5 yrs time?)

Hahaha....I doubt I ever can...but last year wasn't bad. I did shed off some kilos, and indeed, some clothes had waited like 4 yrs for me. Haha, was glad I didn't throw / give them away. Normally, I dun buy clothes according to trend...so still can recycle la. But seriously, I need to housekeep my cupboard again (the last time was last month). Now the doors can hardly close. But..really sayang those clothes...I think I need to give them away and come to reality I own way too many clothes which I dun wear anymore. Then, I will have more space, more room for MORE clothes, muahahahaha ~~!!

Now I need to find time to clear it...so can shop :)

But wait....when to shop ? Quarter end again and I need support during CNY...so so no mood.

Duh...

Sweet Mango

After Quarter end...I just wanna relax...

Rainy Day

Guess which pair belong to me?

Sincerely Yours

It’s been a while …. quite a long time in fact….somehow I kind of lost the mood to update my blog. When I first started to blog, I felt I had so much to express. Maybe b’coz at that time I have too much bottled inside me. I had things I couldn’t let go, I had worries, I couldn’t comfort myself, sometimes lost, sometimes undecided. So I guess blogging was the best way for me to release.

Now, I have so many things going for me. I have my dancing, my life…I am spending more time to relax, doing things I enjoy, catching up with friends once in a while my handicraft…kind of guilty that I sort of neglected my beads for about half year while I spend time improving my dancing skills. It’s my number 1 passion for now.

Of coz, I still am busy with my work but I have learnt to be more relaxed, to think more positively. I used to be upset when ppl criticized me or when things do not turn out the way I wanted. But I am glad that I have matured in my thinking. Sometimes I am quite surprised with myself, how I am able to provide comforting words and motivation to friends who needed an ear or guidance. I am simply thankful for this gift.

Last quarter end, I was very busy with work, it was that busy moments where I had issues, backlogs, boss chasing for reports, etc…when I received a call from someone whom I least expected. That call was not someone saying hello. My colleagues could hear me changing from laughing tone to serious tone. Immediately after the call, I was able to adjust myself to normal mode, still smiling and back to work. If this was to happen few years ago, I would have exploded. But nope, I kept my cool because I know I am not guilty and I somehow pity those who have nothing better to do than gossip about the untruthful things.

You people who are too free and with nothing better to do, go ahead and accuse or spread rumours. I am fine…in fact, I was surprised with myself for being able to laugh it off…you can raise your voice at me, point fingers at me and I don’t give a damn. I am not guilty of all those accusations and I am not free to bother about all those nonsense stuff. My workload was more than enough for me and to be in that hectic situation and hearing your accusations and yadaa yadaa….haha…boy, I was really surprised why you would think I am still interested to talk about things that does not matter to me anymore.
If you have not done it you shall not be worried about it….it’s ppl’s choice…their mouth…we cannot control them, so let them be. As long as I know I am of clear conscience, God is always with me.

I have always prayed for your happiness. I sincerely wish you find the right one. It doesn’t matter if we cannot remain as friends. It matters not what you think of me, it matters not what others think of me…what matters most is what I think of myself and same for you, you are who you are, believe in yourself and always have positive mindset. You are in control. Be happy always.

May God bless those who are still in blur…lead them to the right path, comfort them and give them peace. Thank you for Your Blessings, Amen !

Regardless....sincerely and always will be your friend.

Dance Dance Dance

I just realised this morning that I almost forgot I own this blog….totally forgot abt my blog for almost one month.

What to do…I am busy preparing for my dance competition this Sunday.

It's the 6th National Ballroom Dancing Championship at Penang Che Koon Hor Moral Uplifting Society (Macalister Road)
4pm - night.
Day event is free.
Night event - for those finalists….have to buy ticket (comes with dinner).

Anyway, I have quite nervous this time.
New partner…we only have our 5th lesson yesterday and tomorrow will be our 6th lesson. Yup, only 6 lessons and off we go for competition.

And to top it off….we dun have lessons for our Jive, time constraint la….so, we focus more on our Cha Cha Cha and Rhumba. So Jive, we just hentam and do our best la.

I am now down with flu….chia lat or not?

3 weeks ago, I sprained my right ankle and was limping for 3 days. My ankle was swollen…no thanks to jungle trekking during our team building. Duh !!

The moment I sprained my ankle, I was almost crying….nope, the tears not for the pain, but for the fear of not being able to dance !!

Last night, I wasn't in my best condition, I was pale and already seeing stars. I had to stop for few times. I must remind myself to take dinner b4 dance.

Today, with my running nose and a little swollen ankle and cramps on my legs and knee, I just pray to God that all these will not deter me from giving a good 'performance' for our dance rehearsal and great show on the actual day…not forgetting my arthritis pain is most of the time unbearable….but nope, I am not giving up dancing for sure, at least not so soon.

Oh…I am actually quite stressed….that my menses not here yet and it's too late now…I just hope it will come only after competition, pls pls pls !! U cannot imagine how weak I feel during the first 2 days of my TYM (Tai Yee Ma - nick name for period). I hope TYM visits me next week. Then I will feel very blessed. Thank You God.

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.
