All my 'old' friends

I was grateful to be invited in this dinner. Actually after most of them left the CRM team, we seldom have time hanging together, or... actually I'm just not in the list.

This place is very memorable to us actually, we had most of our gathering, welcome & farewell dinner in the same restaurant for > 4 years. From the beginning until now, more than 30 people had joined us but in different time and group.

TK said, let's start at Bumbubali, finish at Bumbubali. It's very hard to group all of us together in the future. I'll be the last person who stays in CRM as a 'pioneer' member. What will happen to CRM in the future? only god can tell...... but anyhow, the good thing is, we all had our great memories and best time together.

Still hard to communicate

I wanted to finish my work a few mins before my shift, then he came over, trying to be nice, trying to show his understanding... but at the end, I still cannot see his 'heart'.

For me, he's like just trying to keep himself out of trouble. His objective is to make everybody listen to him, as what he listens, a good employee should not make any objection, because it shows that you are not co-operating.

If I didn't work here, I would never know that my English can be so good until I can use it to 'fight' with people, haha!

I'm really afraid of my future and our future here... the vision is good, but it's just too far away from me. If we cannot solve the problem now, how do we meet the goal in the far? It's just something that he, or they might not understand.

Bakuteh@Klang

As promised by my bro last week, we went to Klang for bakuteh today. Klang is famous with bakuteh and seafood, but my parents never tried it before.

Bakuteh, from the words itself, literally it means "pork rib tea", the words itself originally from Hokkien. But I bet Hokkien people also might not know it. It's a special food in South East Asia countries, mainly in Malaysia.

This restaurant, is believed to be one of the best bakuteh restaurants in Klang. It's a branch of Teluk Pulai. I think I had been here before, the place looks familiar to me.

This is the bakuteh.

PC Fair

Actually I was supposed to go PC Fair after my JP class, but my car battery was dead in the morning, so I couldn't attend the class, but still I went to pc fair.

It's really crazy, everybody were rushing to KLCC. I was turning around the circle of KLCC for half an hour still couldn't get in to the car park. You can see how terrible it was. Inside also very terrible, there are people at every corner, many of them are wandering around, also quite a lot are heading towards the convention center.

After squeezing through a bunch of people, finally I just got myself one FM modulator, and a DiGi broadband supscription. How are they performing? I'm still testing them. But through preliminary testing, they are working fine so far.

I didn't take any picture in the crowd, just a few after I got out from it. It's getting dark out there...

Keep yourself beautiful

I wonder why, maybe it’s due to work stress, recently I feel that I don’t feel want to sleep early. Almost everyday I would on the web or watching dramas or anything, just don’t want to get on bed. But the next day I still have to work early, so it ends up I don’t have enough sleep, my dark eye circles are getting worse now, my skin condition also not good.

Maybe I should join the cosmetology school in Florida to learn how to beautify myself. But of course, staying positive and practicing healthy lifestyle is the best way to keep yourself beautiful.

Conversation....

Date: Today
Time: Afternoon
Venue: Office

She: What time is your lunch?
Me: I'm going out for lunch today.
She: Oh... I go out with you.
Me: Sorry, I'm going with my friend.
She: Ya, ya, I follow you.
Me: (Patiently) No, I'm going out with my friend.
She: Oh...... ok... (go out, unwillingly)

Me: (freezed, scared... didn't dare to make a move... a few minutes later, sneaked off the room, rushed down to SB floor...)

Other 'audience': (tried so hard to control not to show any emotion... after she left, all of them burst out laughing until cannot breathe...)

Talk, Talk, Talk

First talk, with the "upper boss". In the morning, she pinged me for a small talk. Good thing about her is, she is much more understanding. The way that she talks is very convincing, dependable and trustworthy. At least she expressed it that way.

He was quite shocked looking when I told him that I had a talk with her, then kept asking me what we had talked. Of course I didn't tell him everything. I don't think he could get my point entirely, that's why I don't really like to talk to him, if I could. But the good thing is, at least he cannot really object all my words. It's good to let him know that, I actually have another channel to voice out my words, you are not the only one.

Before going back, I talked to K. She told me something hidden from her heart that she didn't really want to share with others. By telling me so, I knew that I cannot keep her with us anymore, but the good thing is, at least I know that there is nothing wrong with us, nor with the team, it's just she has to make this decision.

Actually I really feel grateful to be able to work with great people in my life. How many manager would tell you, working is just your secondary life. Manager is not an unreachable point to me. I have an understanding boss, although the 'not-really-understanding' dai-goh and 'not-really-performing' people had always let me down. It's good that at least there are good people around you.

I have done my best, I have tried everything. If thing is not changed, it's not my responsibility. The boss has told me that, and it relieves me.
