Facebook...

Recently found a website, the facebook.com has so many funny and interesting games, gifts, fun wall, growing gift and more, unlike other group-playing website, this one has more variety and most of their applications, and beautifully designed in attractive graphics.

You can invite as many friends as you like, once you've built your network, you can start to communicate with them by sending them a gifts, glittering pictures, sketch a picture for them, keep a pet, draw at their Fun Wall, or playing games with them. You can choose many variety of gifts, from growing plants, chocolates, bakery food, free or paid gifts, and so on. The games, which is not a real-time game, you and your friends do not need to be online at the same time to play the game, for example, the pirate game.......

I'm still exploring the website and now 'digging' more funny stuffs from it. If you are interested, you can also join me and share your experience with me.

English

I never thought that, I'll take a job that need to use English everyday. I have been using Chinese a lot: sub-editor, secretary...... but I never so confident about my English that I could be able to speak and write. However, it's what I'm doing now -- application support in English (and Mandarin).

Whenever I write or speak in English, it always remind me of my secondary school's English teacher. She is a good teacher, kind-hearted and patient, especially to us. I always admire her because she speaks well and standard English, although it didn't really help me to improve my English..... I feel a bit regret now when I really need to use it a lot, I should have taken it seriously enough during that time, then at least I would be able to discuss about the weather with my user. (It was once I stuttered when user asked me about the weather in Malaysia.... I couldn't find another word to describe it other than "hot", "good".... =.=")

I still can remember the grammers that she had taught us: verbs, past participle, gerunds, objectives, etc. I had put on so much effort to organize my notebooks during her class, but unfortunately it has been lost by one of my friend (and this really makes me feel so regret, I shouldn't have borrowed my precious to him.... ><), which I still take it as one of my treasure although it's not with me now.

Now I'm trying my best to learn all the "chicken sausage" (as what Chinese says...) at least to get more comfortable on my daily and casual conversation. Experts say, it doesn't matter how much you have learnt, the most important is how much you keep.

Thank you Ms. Tok, for being such a good English teacher to me. Although I'm definitely not her best student, but she is still my best teacher. And what I've learnt from you, really be a great value to me in my life.

Counting fingers...

The baby has so many gestures since his was born, he likes to squirm, stretch, kick, rock...... anything whether you can imagine or not. Now he has learnt to move his fingers.

He likes to count his fingers now, one little two little three little indians...... of course he doesn't know how to sing, but he likes to play with his fingers, sometimes cross fingers, clench his fist and hit to the air, stretch out his two fists to the air like he's riding on a motorbike.....

We like to see him moving his hands and fingers and he also likes watching us moving our hands and fingers in front of him. He is so excited when we playing with him.

Now he can "count" one, three, four, can point out his last 2 fingers with the others folded, can "give me 5", but still cannot "count" 2 or do a "V"-sign. We are still trying to teach him that... hopefully he could do it soon.... ^^

Farewell

Just got a SMS from a friend, they are going to have a farewell dinner for one of our ex-instructor, Sai Kit. He used to teach Body Combat, but now has dropped the class because he'll be leaving to overseas for work. But I couldn't join because of the time and transportation problem.

Although I'm not actually so closed with them, I truly hope that I could join them. Because of my friend, a person who is always low profile like me still have a chance to get along with them. I used to join his class a lot, but now since he's left, even the Combat class has been replaced.

There is another instructor will be leaving the club soon. The people I know is going to leave one after another, and new guys/gals will be coming in. It's hard for you to see the person you know is leaving, but at the same time, I'm also expecting those newbies to come, hopefully they won't disappoint me.

Another farewell is going on for the Japanese lady in our team previously, she'll be going back to Japan soon. After working with her for almost 2 years, we actually had some good times together.

Wishing that everyone can find their better future in other places, and everthing the best in their life.

Finally failed...

Finally I've failed to keep my record here. I have been keeping it for a few months, but unfortunately, I still have to break it.

I didn't do it in purpose actually, I always thought that I could make it on time. But today, it wasn't unpredictable, it's just to hard to leave the table.

I used to take my lunch alone, no matter where I go, I seldom have company. But recently I got somebody who always have lunch together during the same period of time, has welcomed me to join their group. I like to listen to what they're chatting about, the story or experience they are sharing, and sometimes share my opinions too.

Getting lunch buddies is quite hard for me esp. in my team, because almost everyone take different lunch time. I have got used to it but still love to have companion sometimes.

I was late when returned back to my desk, but it's not just because of the 'lunch chat', it was also due to my 'over-confidence' that I thought I could get back on time, but anyway, it's failed.

Although I couldn't avoid to feel a bit sad when I failed to hit it, I try to make it a "with-no-regret" thing. I've expected it a few minutes before the time was up, but I still stayed there without moving, so I shouldn't feel bad as it's what I deserved.

Rain....

It's rainy season again. Raining almost everyday, sometimes morning, noon, or at night. I love the rain actually, but I have to be staying indoor, because stepping on the wet glass actually is really uncomfortable.

It's getting dark, raining again. Part of my clothes is wet, furthermore I'm in a chilly air-conditioned vechicle, it made me felt shivering.

The bus service here is getting worse. It used to come every 15 minutes, as they published. But later, it became 30 mins. Now even hours you need to stay in the station without a sight of the bus. If I drove, it only takes me 20~30 mins home; but if I took bus, I would spend more than 2 hours not even near to my house. I left the office before sunset, and reached home after dark. If you told me, the public transportation service has improved, I would ask you to try it youself.

My Garden

Can you name these plants in my garden?

Finally.....

Finally, I've finished my presentation today. I felt myself shivering not only because of the nervousness, but also due to the freezing environment around.

I'm not sure whether it is an advantage for me to speak in a conf call, good thing is I don't need to face the audience, but at the same time, I also cannot see their response. Luckily all the audience are just within my team, I don't need to face to any 'vip' or 'stranger'. Yet I am still not satisfy with my performance.

This reminds me of my best presentation performance in my college. I still remember the topic, the audience and the scene. We have prepared for so long, actually especially for those who are not regular with English speaking people like me, presenting (not just reading) in English is quite a big challenge to me. But with well preparation, I finally could make it with quite high marks. That was the one and only best presentation I can do so far.

Now one challege is over. And then more challenge is coming to me in the future. I'm quite afraid that I can't do it well enough. I'll just try my best for what I can do. Gambateh~!

A New Challenge

Recently I am assigned a new responsibility. I can say it's a new challenge to me. I'm not sure if I could handle it well, but I'll try my best to catch up everything. I always wonder, how far I can reach with my ability. It's just a step forward, maybe there are more challenge come towards me in the future.

But now... with the environment full of holiday mood.... it's really hard for me to pull myself together, concentrate on those ABC things. Believe me, I'm really trying... but I'm really sleepy too...zzzzzz

Selamat Hari Raya

This year's Hari Raya, except the crowded ramadhan bazaar you can see along the road, it seems lesser Raya mood than past years.

The streets, especially city center like Petaling Street, which used to be very empty during Raya and CNY, now is 'flooded' by foreign people. The city is no longer 'lonely' anymore.

No matter how many raya songs we have heard on TV, radio or shopping centers, it's more commercial than festival. What is going wrong with these?

During the 2-day holiday, as usual, I'm with my family. Since the baby is not here (his parents have brought him home for holidays), we were able to hang out. So normally we just spent our time in the shopping center during Raya, first day at Jusco, second day at Tesco (also 'co'... =.="). For most of the people, it's quite boring if you hang out in these kind of place during holiday. But for me, it's quite a precious family gathering time.

Especially while the little fella is not around, we could go out and buy a cake for my bro's birthday. We don't have grant celebration on our birthdays, but in my family, every member will have a cake on their birthday. It's become a habit, or you can say, it's kind of family tie.

I still have to work even though it's a replacement holiday for Raya on Monday. But of course, not as busy as normal days. I can be more relax. The air is a bit freezing around me... I'm looking forward to go back home and meet my baby nephew who will be back today.

Travel

My friend just back from a overseas trip. We had a lunch together today, and I was so concentrate, listening to his travel stories. Where they have been visited, what he had seen.

I have some friends like to travel so much, every year they will go on a trip for at least once. A few weeks ago, one of my friend just finished his 23-days backpacking trip in China. I was full of admiration when I listened to his travel exprience, how he walked for hours from one village to another. It wasn't easy at all, but at least, he enjoyed througout the journey.

I'm still looking for a chance, or better to say, the best timing, at least I have to take a flight to somewhere, anywhere. What's my destination? I will let you know when I have decided. :)

Clouds

Have you ever noticed about the scenery above you while you are walking under the sky?

I take public transports almost everyday to travel around, so I have much time to walk outdoor. Waiting for the bus in the station is quite boring, so if I'm not in a trance or thinking about nonsense I'll observe around, include looking at the sky.

I like to see the transformation of the cloud, especially when it turns into a special form, it will bring you a lot of imagination. When I was young, I used to believe that there is another world over the sky, where all the fairies and angels are there.

Having a fantasy in your mind is just like a joy in your life, especially if you were in a rather dull working environment. That's why I'm named "Fun". Whenever you are, whatever you are doing, just have fun and you will find the way to live happier.

Workout

I attended the class again. Although it's very tiring, I still try my best to attend the class every weekend, and this is what I can do at the moment.

The combat class in KLCC has been changed, since their previous instructor has dropped. Now SPK will be my new place for combat. The attendees for the class had inscreased, maybe some of them were from the KLCC club. I like the atmosphere, where everybody is enjoying themselves in the class, following the music and the beat, moving and working hard. That's why I like to be in here, although without any companion.

I have some friends joining the instructor training course, some of them has passed almost all the tests. I don't always meet them in the class because sometimes we are going to different clubs. I used to have a friend joining classes with me, but all left me alone. Although joining the class alone is somehow lonely, but I still have the passion and the perseverance to keep it on, haven't thought of quitting yet.

That day, I had a chance to have a small talk with our instructor. He advised me to join the pump class, although I still think it's quite heavy to me, maybe I'll have a try someday.

Go online again!

After so many months (I think almost a year!) unable to online at home, finally the internet access is setup again in my home pc.

The first thing I did online, is to guide my dad how to check his client's info and their policy details from the web, because he has been asking me to do so for long. And then the second thing.... hehe of course is to update my blog.

The line is still slow. But it's just enough for me to update my blogs... hopefully I'll have more 'stories' to tell.

My Best Friend's Wedding

It's been so long since the rumour has spread that, they are going to get married. But until now, it's still a hearsay.

We have been discussing about this topic for so long. The story is a bit complicated, it is much different from what we usually experience. Many people cannot understand the situation and thought that the story is going "underground", but actually, it's not as simple as what they think of, and it's hard to explain.

I don't know how I became her 'manager' or 'spokesperson', she threw the 'ball' to me when others asking her about that. Sometimes you don't really need to be so serious to explain the real situation to them, because it may not what they want to hear, and even we don't know how it actually goes on.

Nevertheless, I'm still her great supporter and will have my best blessing. Whatever step she takes, hopefully it could bring her the better future.

Who wants to be an agent?

I wonder if it's really so hard to find a person that is really willing to be and fitted as a customer service with mandarin speaking skill?

It might not be the candidate problem, maybe our manager also has set high requirements, not only to their mandarin speaking, also in other aspects.

Many has believed that, people are always looking for the best job, it's just the same as jobs are also always looking for the best people. That's why not many people can get what they wish to be.

If you are good in communication skills (otherwise can be trained also), and have basic IT skills (it's better if more than just "basic"), can speak in English well (of course if you can speak Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc... it would be an advantage.), comfortable to be a helpdesk agent (chances to be promoted if you have good performance), and can work under pressure and time-constraint (need to be tough enough to deal with difficult and demanding customers), I don't mind that you may send in your application. :P

New opportunities

When I was given a ride to the station by my colleague, we were having 'serious' discussion in the car, including job and career.

My team is, somehow getting demotivated with our work. It reminds me that how joyful we were when we first joined the team, hanging around with our teammates, having dinners and gathering with our trainers and manager...... We used to have a great time until we really go on live, it seems everything has changed.

People start to leave, we started to have conflicts and disagreements, even management also took attention on us. Undeniably, it's frustrated and disappointed. All the good things seems like have gone in just a glance.

However, I never hate my job or thought of leaving. I used to be tough in my previous experience after all. (Some said that...) It's not easy to find a job that is 100% suit you, you have to cope with the environment, and find the best way to fit in. With my previous experience, I have learnt to adjust myself to 'survive' in any situation.

However, I'm still not giving up yet. I still have a hope, a hope to really get myself the environment that I can really be comfortable, enjoy, and best fit to me. Opportunities are always there, it's just depends on how do you want to 'grab' it...

My Hair

It's been so long I haven't changed my hairstyle.

I think since I stepped out from my college, I have been keeping a long hair until now. Maybe there is some changes like rebonding, coloring, highlighting, or even a bit shorter or longer..... it doesn't consider a "change", does it?

I always think that I wish I could have a different look before my 30. It could be a curly or wavy hair, or even boy hair. As long as it's not long and straight, as long as it makes me look really "different". No matter it is a "shock" or "surprise" in front of my friends.... haha!

Last time after I finished my combat class, I went to a saloon. Actually I was originally wanted to have just to wash my hair. But then after being persuaded by the stylist... (another stupid fella....) I agreed to dye my hair, again, with a high price and little difference. Nobody realized that I have dyed my hair next day when I went to office. But the good thing is, I didn't regret.

Next time, I really prepare to have a 'real change'. How would it be? wavy? curly? Jolin-style? or just a simple short hair? I haven't decided yet. Hopefully you will see the changes next time you see me... hehehe
