Good time

I think I've ever expecting my training so much like this before.

Every month before the training, I felt like resistant to it. How I wish the training could be canceled so that I don't need to face the people and be so tired. Or I would say, I prefer to be alone and work on my own.

However, surprisingly, I really like them. I admitted that I'm not a good trainer at all. I don't think I have an effective training programme, and I have no confidence that I would impress them and get the good result. Moreover, whenever I saw those agents who had joined my training before appeared in the resignees list, I felt so bad and upset, although I understand that it's nothing to do with me, but still, somebody you have put so much effort to share things with them (I won't use the words 'train' coz I'm not a good trainer at all), at the end they chose to leave.

Of course there were also funny moments during the training. And actually I never really had a hard time in the training, even there were different kinds of people in the room, some of them were quite challenging, but still, I managed to handle it -- with 'backup' sometimes.

And this time, not many attendees, only 5 of them. But still, I really like their reactions and participations in the class. When I saw them laughed at my jokes, responded with their comments, focused on what I said, asked questions when they had....... those all encouraged me to move on and gave me more spirit and energy to keep myself up.

I realized that one tip to make effective training moment is that, put yourself into their world. Join them, use their languages, be their friends or peers instead of trainer, make them comfortale to speak out, laugh with you, chat with you. It's how you can reduce the distance between each other, and then, when they accept you as one of them, you'll have funnier and more interesting moments together. Not only to them, but also to the trainer themselves. It's the same what Alia found out during her CSS training too. Be their friend, not their 'teacher' (or trainer).

Anyhow, I can't expect what feedback they will gave me in the survey. Although I could sense that they're having a good time, but it may not be reflected to the survey feedback. Nonetheless, I have tried my best to work things out, I have no regrets, just hope that the feedback won't be too bad, that's all.

明日頑張ってね～～！

It's just difficult...

We have been trying to be nice to everybody. We don't have any prejudice against anyone. I'm keep reminding myself to put my personal feeling aside and be fair to her, be good to her, be friendly to her, but it's her personality that pushes us away.

She thinks differently, she acts differently, she says differently. All the differences that she has have become an obstacle between us, which is very hard for us to get through. I admit that we others have conflicts sometimes, but still, we care, we share, we talk, we work together, we compromise. The same thing doesn't work when dealing with her.

There are different background, even different nationality among us. But still, we manage to find a way that can pull us together, we work in a way where everybody is accepting and comfortable with it. And only for her, it seems like nothing works. What can we do? I don't know.

I miss my boss so much, especially when there are many difficulties around.

And for her, it's just................. difficult.

Sick~~~~

I had tongue ulcer for 3 days already, still not recovered. And today I 'pandai2' go and eat tomyam, extra spicy (dunno what's wrong with the chef... ><) and then went to buy a cup of riched cappuccino. After a bowl of spicy tomyam soup and a glass of warm thai tea, and then I forced myself to finish the cappuccino in just not longer than one hour just tried to finish it before I went for coaching and it would get cold.............................

Then, I saw the outcome 5 minutes later, stomach too full until it 'overflowed'..... and then my stomach cramped until now. T_T

I couldn't eat mum-cooked dinner, so I just made porridge myself. This is the first time I made porridge by my own, and it ends up looked like rice still.... and I just put a bit salt, so of course it's tasteless. The cubes on top are the pickled lettuce, at least I could get some taste.

And now, I feel hungry again, and the worst, sorethroat. Everything comes together until I really don't think I can still go to class tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get better tomorrow..... what's wrong with me~~~~!

Angry Birds Cupcakes

I found this from the bazaar at Streetmall, Cyberjaya (map). It was sold by one Malay lady on her very little table. The bazaar is only available twice per week (which I forgot which day actually... :P) so you won't find it everyday.

The taste is just so so but I admire their creativity and sense of trends. Of course there are other bakeries are selling angry birds cake, cookies but still I like their idea and concept of it. Cup cakes are only one of the bakery products she sells, others like carrot cakes, kuih also available. But then, only this impressed me. hehe~~ wanna have a try?

You need a blind?

I still remember the time when I first moved into this new office building a few years ago, windows are from ceiling to the floor, and they are everywhere: both sides of the walls, both wings of the building. We could have direct sunbathing at day time and nice night view during night time. It made our office looked brighter and wider no doubt of that, but the problem is, when it's too bright, it affects our eyesight because we are looking at our computer monitors all the time.

Later on, blinds are set on the walls. As it just blocks some of the bright daylight from the window, we feel more comfortable when working with our computers, and at the same time, we won't feel stuffy and still able to see the view out to the building through the blinds. I'm glad that they use the blinds instead of windows or curtains which will either block all or none of views from outside. Also, blinds are easier to clean and maintain.

There is only one thing that I think is not perfect, which is blinds may not be suitable in a meeting room as we are quite difficult to look at the projected screen even with the blinds pulled down. However I think it's just we need to choose a different blinds which is suitable to be used in a meeting room.

If you are staying in UK, you may find Venetian Blinds which suits the needs of your room. Their variety of designs and materials will impress you, and also with reasonable charges. Try to use blinds instead of curtains to make your house look different.

An old time gift

Just when I was doing some house-keeping, I found this. It was given by one of my friend, and I kept it until that day, I decided to throw it.

No doubt it's already expired long long time ago, even the things inside had become hard. Anyhow, it reminds me of a friend that's so caring and it was actually given when I was having a bad cough that time. I'm still grateful for the friend and I'll keep our friendship in my heart forever.

Back to blogging

It's been quite some time since my last blog advertising. One reason is because I have been busy with my works, and then after the well-knowned community website is so popular nowadays, I spend most of my time updating my status, playing games, sharing photos and so on, until I rarely update my own blog.

So it's time for me to come back to my world now. Many may not realize that actually blogging is a way to keep yourself communicating with your friends, and those you know from blogwalking. This is a platform for you to share everything without hassle, you can write anything and everything much more longer than just a status message, and you don't need to worry about your message will be flooded by all other status updates from your friends.

The best part is, you can help others to do advertising and get rewards from that. Recently when I just google around looking for blogging opportunities, I found this wonderful website to blog and earn at the same time. How cool is it huh? So please stay with me, I'll come back here and try to share as much as I could with you.

Remembering Whitney

This is really a shocking news, when I received the SMS at my phone. I knew that she was suffering from drugs and alcohol, but didn't expect her to leave so fast. She used to be a great singer, until she almost failed her performance in her concert in 2010. Anyhow, she is still holding a best selling record which is unbreakable, and the name that cannot be replaced.

R.I.P Whitney!

=================================================================

p/s: this is a song that has inspired me the most from her:

Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all


"Greatest Love Of All"

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
