STOP AND STARE

Dear blog, exhausted~

Just came back from KLPac Open Day. It was good, especially the live music played at the lawn area. Oh yea, they even have Bellydancing Workshop, ouch~my stomache got cramped a while.

Guess what, I thought the Open Day was held on Saturday and I drove all the way there just to find out...I've got mistaken of the date. Damnn...so I went back home and as usual, Saturday is my cleaning day: clean up my room, iron up all my clothes, do my laundry and etc. Slept till 6.00pm and surf the Net to find inforamtion on TTDI map location. Phewh~NEXT!

Today, I do enjoy myself, Zulfy were not able to make it so I dragged along Mei Fong and one of her friend (Wen Li). Yeay..yeay, Mei Fong managed to catch up to 5 goldfishes and she gave me to take care of them since her house has no aquarium. Wohhooo, my next task, 'To give each fish a NAME'...Muahahahaha. Enjoy the pictures~

~End~

I was browsing my friendster testimonial and I was hooked up with this. Someone wrote it...

I longed for acceptance
You welcomed me with open arms

I longed to be heard
You turned to listen

I felt worthless
You treasured me

I thought I was incapable
You gave me a chance to prove what I can do

I was without talent
You called me gifted

I was trapped in a shell I built for myself
You set me freeI never knew

I could do anything that counts
You believed in me

I thought I was limp
You made me fly

And so I did
And I soared high.

~To a friend that always stick by my side through ups and downs, Mei Ying~

He's been a GREAT pal to me for all this years. Been really supportive, cheers me up and 'pat at my back and told me to chill myself'. All his jokes, 'I dah boleh hafal'. It took me 24 hours to think and step my feet back on the ground and I realise that.......(yada yada yada)..and the (yada yada yada).

A week gone by, and soon CNY is coming over. Excited to have my breakaway back in my hometown yet to clear some stuff in my mind. Been listening to this song loads of time...pretty hard for me to express my feelings in words. This time around, I think I keep it to myself.

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can u see what I see

Wake me up: Mei

I feel G.O.O.D

From: Hairil Izwar Abd Rahman

Well done and keep up good work.
Have a nice weekend.

As above is referred.Today I receive my first compliment. I feel good doing what I’m good at. It’s a breeze to me. It’s not the comment given by my client satisfy me, but the compliment given by my mentor: Mr. Hairil’s comment rewards me more.
Sounds funny huh? Yeay…, at last I’ve made him proud!

Last Friday, we plan a visit to Menara KL for UMW Toyota which comprises of 2 VVIPS from Toyota Japan and 2 of my clients. From our side, Mr Hairil tag me along to accompany our GM to the visit.

I’ve took the effort to call up Menara KL itself as I couldn’t get to Mdm. Zulfa to get the person-in-charge contacts. So, I called up Abang Zain from HR and he gave me his colleague who works there. Called him up and in the end, I was directed to Mdm. Zura. She is really nice and there’s few last minute coordination that need to be done. Phewh~all my ‘kepenatan’ eventually paids off.

On Wednesday, I was quite drained out as I need to prepare for the VVIPs souvenirs. It was an easy task actually, but all those small little stuff that unpredictable caused my legs to blister and etc.
Here's what happens…

I circulated MidValley three (3) times just to find photo frame shop but as it was closed down 2 years ago, my only resort was to go Jusco/Carrefour/Metrojaya to find nice photo frames. As the 3 places are located differently, I have no choice but to search one by one. At last, after several back and forth journey, I picked my favorite photo frames and headed to the customer service counter (located in another location). So… I’ve told the personnel what I want and how I want it to be (I can be quite demanding in this) and my most important note to them is ‘Kak, make sure kemas eh’. I stood with them and helped them out as they move really slow and then suddenly, ‘Piannnnnnng’, they broke the glasses of the frame. We then decided to take both of the glasses out as it’s not safe, yet after informing Mr. Hairil, he still wants the souvenirs to be protected with the glasses.
So I’ve rushed all the way back to buy another photo frame and re-do the souvenirs all over again. By then, I know I was running late for another meeting...

Ape lagi, I quickly finished and touched up the photo frames and headed to Memory Lane for the wrapping purposes. Told them how I want it to be (being demanding again), chose the ribbon and then suddenly, out of no where ‘Ermm..Miss ar, we don’t have this kinda tape, you got to buy somewhere else’.

WTH, this time I ran back to Jusco and bought the tape that they requested.

Gave all the stuff that they requested and it was time for me to leave the shopping malls (2 ½ hours). My legs cramped… and I sat in my car for 5 minutes before headed my way to the office to take the LCD projector for meeting purposes. Grab some ‘Twiggies’ as my lunch and headed to the lobby area to pick up the RNOC teams, namely Tuan Haji Kams, Mr. Noorhaslin, and Mr. Afiz for Al Rajhi’s After Sales Meeting which located at Wisma Selangor Dredging.
I entertain them...as usual (sometimes I feel macam tour guide). The meeting was fruitful as Al Rajhi understands their action plan to move to next step.
On the way back, Tuan Haji Kams ride back with me as he knows that I’m not good in KL roads. Thank you Sir, I appreciate it and thank you for your time.

Back to the office nearly 5.30PM. Tired…continue some documentation work and faxing bills and it’s time for me to pick up the photo frames. Went back to MidValley and when I saw the photo frames are ready, I felt relieved and of cos they are awesome *pat at my back* wohhhoooo..good choice Mei.
Thought of doing some grocery shopping but then since the waiting lines at the cashier were really long, I kinda lost my mood. Called up Mr.Muliadi to see whether he’s in the office and yeah..he’s still there. So ape lagi, Ezuan, Mulaidi and I decided to have karaoke session in Bangsar. After a long hard day at work, I need some entertainment too…

Gotta admit, Mr. Muliadi and Ezuan can really sings. Damn, they are really good. Hey, it’s been great to have you guys around. They never fail to cheer me up…except Muliadi’s choice of songs seems a little outdated la, Ezuan on the other hand, more to ‘jiwang and ballads songs genre’ At times, their songs really brought back my memories..ish..ish..ish.

All in all I had fun. Thank you!

Till next week~Mei

Serenity...

This week kinda free and easy for me, not so much things to do just coordinating visits and meeting. Phewh~now this is simple

I’ve got my worst news on Monday..’Mei got selected to be the Secretary for MNS Division’ and I was like ‘wth’, not a secretary again…Honestly, I’m honored to be voted without my presence yet in every election, the consent of the individual is crucial. Now, that’s called ‘menghormati hak asasi manusia’. It feels like a burden rather than enjoying it. I don’t quite like it…

I hugged Adyanty today when I was on the way to the ladies. Suddenly, I just need a hug. Maybe it’s a relief and non-stressing day for me. Everything going on rather slow today. It’s a breeze…

I still need to complete my SIGMA article which overdue on Monday (14th Jan). It’s really hard for me to pen down my feelings plus having the thoughts of others reading up my article freaks me out. I wrote stuff that interests me and I will looked back at those writings when I feel like it. That’s when I see the changes in me…@sense of maturity….being over-emo, and at times it makes me realize how stupid is my actions.

My short breakaway in Melaka did not go as plan as my sis and I were occupied with our work. Imagine, I was driving on the highway, and both of our phones keep ringing. She was on call with her technician bout machine…lot 1..2..here and there where else, my client keeps on bugging me on updates. But I was thankful, my sis made the effort to visit me, thanks chea; but next time do me a favor yea…next time around, just take the car and goes shopping on your own. I don’t think I can cope with your pace…seriously...you’re a shopping maniac.

Till now…
Warmest regards~Mei

My Journey

Yeay! Yeay!

Good news for the month (rough weeks),

Chea-chea coming over my place this Wednesday, woohhoooo, shopping babe, and this morning when I wake up~poof, 'taaaaadaaaaa' I've got this email.

Thank you Lin Hui for your kind invites. I do appreciate it. I'm not an excellent kinda student, yet I try all kinds of thing la, ape nak buat, mengisi masa lapang. Called up Chea-chea and told her the good news, and as usual, she's proud of me...muahahaha (waiting for free goodies from her).

Called up mummy as well, and told her that Chea-chea and I have plan a family dinner this Friday as we hardly meet up. Next. I've got to plan Chinese New Year Eve Dinner....usually all the planning comes to me and Chea's work is merely into contribution. Muahahahahaha, I love being the 2nd child, cos I'm papmpered whenever she's around. Wohoooo!

That's all for now, Ciao

Came across you're a very outstanding student (no laaa, saya bagaikan habuk di celah pintu) where personally, I was impressed by your emcee skills (malunya....) for a few times. Say for example, during Japanese Cultural Night (ahak...me and my kimono). With this, I hope you can share with us your experience when you were in MMU by writing an article of about 1,000 to 1,500 words. Your article can include your academic achievements, how you developed your leadership skills, etc.

Perhaps you can also share with us what made you write in Sigma 2006/07- "I'll always remember the good and bad old days that I shared with my colleagues, lecturers, staffs, and officers in MMU. It doesn't matter how hard it would be, it's the journey that I endure 'here' that takes me to maturity. This quote has remind me of who I am...
