Whats the big deal?

Malaysia Boleh!!! Thats the tag lines which was so synonymous with us Malaysian.... In any quest no matter how humangous of how microscopic it is.. we always tell ourself that Malaysia Boleh! In a way its a great things for us all... it gives us the patriotic feeling to us all... We are so proud that we are able to accomplish somthing for our great nation...

We have the guy that swan his way accross the english channel... we have the first solo sailing adventures.. we have first asian woman to cross the north pole....we have the best female squash player in the world... we used to have the tallest building in the world.... the longest bridge in asia... also the longest tunnel used for both water and cars. ( which btw has started cracking .. but still safe to use says the govenment...)

Some of this are things which deserve to be sang to whole world. But what the heck .... lets add some more quircky stuff.... like the longest sate... the longest kebab... the biggest flag made of old telephone ??? Dont u things we have way too much of a Malaysia Book of Records? if i'm really bored and have much time to spare.. i would like to create a new record .. the longest TM tower made of recycled handphone.... hehehe... real size one... not the minature one ok! i got reputation to take care...

Just like in the news today...."8,571 dance their way to new record" lead by our beloved tpm wife.... hell yeah!!! Lets make some record which we can really be proud of... muhahahah

So i think for fellows xittm... our next reunion we can easily top this record huh?? So i hope geegerik can organise one survey for the record we should do in our next reunion which worth to be in the book.

hehehe!!

Obsession...

Obsession literally means "the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire " ( from dictionary.com). Depends on what is your obsession...it could be real life hazard or it would be your greatest inspirational motivator.....

Take my ART for example...he's obsess with fishing trip to siam ( forgot where it is now) . So this week was his maximum obsession mood! He'll drag me to each fishing equipment stores there is in Klang Valley. He'll call all the shops both locally and abroad just for price comparison...he'll watch channel 78 persistently for new technique... bought all the magazines... You name it.... Normally he'll complaints about my lengthy shopping trip.. but i guess underneath it alls we are exactly alike... but on a different areas...There is this one shop in Kepong..which we'll loyally visist every weekend. I kindda enjoy this shop the most amongst the others... Let me elaborate on my reasons...

Me and ART have an extremely curious and active daughter. So evertime ART took us to the shop... arissa would mess eveything up to the maximum!! U know this weight thinggy the angle use to make sure the hook did not float! This thinggi comes in many different sizes... so arissa would mix the up... exchanges stuff... which the shop keeper was not really too happy!! So i kindda like this Kepong shop since its next to a bird & fish shop. So while ART bz looking for his supplies.. i'm able to keep arissa bz and occupied with the talking, singging and flying birds and fishes.

As i'm wrapping up this post.. ART is on the way back to KL with two coleman full of big fishes ( he saids the size is bigger than arissa which is 93cm now) I really hope this trip has given him a fix to his obsession

who wants to buy fresh fish... let me know by 26/6/2007
cheers

Traffic Nightmare

6.00am I wander if u know... how to live in tokyo...if u seen it... and u live it you really really know... fust and furious..............Thats the sounds of my daily alarm clock waking me up every morning now... but the Softness of my blankie and the roughess of my arm pilllow (provided by ART of course) is more tempting and more pleasurable to my body .. so my zzzzzzzzzzzzzz continues....

6.30am alin....alin bangun...nanti lambat tak tau!!! ( said myART). Repeating it about a million times.... untill he'll yell ... i give up......

That's my morning ritual every day... tu tak include my arrissa crying for her mommy not to go to work! arghhhh its a real tough battle to fight! Its like i'm getting myself ready for a war! A war agaist traffic jam in KL more precisely... 7.00am I'm ready to go!

War stage 1 : Getting pass Summit USJ to enter NPE

Bloody hell.. on weekend when the traffic is clear it only took me less than 10 min to pass... but now i have to crawl, leech and squeeze myself for more than 30min . where is the lrt when i need one!!!

War stage 2: Getting pass Jalan Pantai Baharu to Jalan Bangsar

Totaly waste of my RM 3.20 paying NPE toll just to find myself stranded again right at the junction to go into Jln Pantai Baharu ( heading toward Menara TM). I've wasted another 20 min here. Untill finally i freed myself into Jalan Bangsar and heading towards Muhameru ( Bukan muhawira) muhahahah..... Tension punya pasai. Time now it already 8.00am

War stage 3 : Getting Jalan Tun Razak towards Jalan Semarak

So many cars to pass... so little time... its crawling the time the ppl from jalan ipoh ( or rather jalan kuching what ever laa) intesect with Jalan Tun Razak. Crawling pass San Peng Flat, crawling all the way up to Jalan Semarak exit. Its already 8.30... if i'm luckyi'll be in office by 8.20. so i can pass War stage 4.

War Stage 4: Getting going the lift heading towards 18th Floor.

Normally if i'm unlucky i've to wait another 10 min untill i'm safely in the lift heading towards my desk. Reason being... all the staff arrived at the same time... and the lift is bloody slow! I guess not a chance for speed movie....

Welll... thats the trauma now... every morning... i've to syc myself up.. not to be too touble by this whole mess! I blame the government for failing to prepare a better public trasport for myself. I blame other KLite for insisting of being so self centered and refuse to car poll eventhough u live next to each other and heading for the same way. ( My neighbour and me for example) Last and not least ... i blame my self for taking this job in the fist place and not being paid high enough to enable myself to hire a diver ( like keme)

To be continue.... with my jorney back nightmare........

Miserable and miss my arissa and art!

cheers

New View New Sight

Its been ages since last time i wrote here...I guess i'm too buzzy getting my life sorted out. So for information.. after almost 7 years i've stayed in TM....... i have finally make one baby step out of the company.

Welcome to real world.. i said to my self. Its my one week anniversary at my new place now. So far i hope i have understood many things which needed to be understand! And i truely feel that things are in a great big mess! I can find the info needed to get at the tip of my finger. For first time after so many years working i felt really lost and many things are out of my control. I suppose not too worry too much since i guess time will direct me to get better hold of my stuff.

The huge challage is now for me to manage people under me? Can i really give a clear direction which people can follow ? Will i be able to control te situation better with them? Or can i really mange people at all??? Hahagaha... only time will tell! I just do what i did best for the time being!

And by the way... i still have many post vancant under my supervision. Particularly for event management group. So if any one of u have an experience managing event pls send me ur cv... who knows... we can continue our working relationship better than we can under our friendship role?? ( it don't make sense at all right?

One of the toughest action which i have to do now is to wake up at 6.00am everyday just to beat the traffic jam. I guess that the price i have to pay for my new found liberation???

All in good hand in good time.
Cheers
