When thoughts actually counts...

Breathing & ALIVE

2012-01-15T21:22:00.002+07:00

I realise how much my life evolve in work. 'Restart' seems a normal routine to me. I cope and adapt yet one thing remained unchanged…not everyone is receptive towards my working ways.

I remember my first time when I’ve got confronted. I stood still and felt that the entire world is against me. As time passes by, I’m used to have people criticized the way how you do things. Being open to their commentary is a gesture of professionalism yet one should be able to differentiate between positive critics/acknowledgement or the intoxicated statements that implies ‘inferiority’.

A gist on my derivation based on the critics:

I am an idealist:

- I opt for only the BEST solution based on the communication goal and that’s it. Whichever options that stand in between, is a strong NO. They can be the contingency plans, yet strive real hard on the desired goals.

I am defensive:

- I do love to work in a team yet I highly placed objective result when it comes to implementation action and decision making. Is either you are in or out…hence I’m not that all-nice lady to people who don’t walk the talk. Stand strongly with the team and pull off a great campaign.

I manage expectation:

- Everyone loves to exceed a superior/client expectation, who doesn’t? Placing everyone expectation on the table is a MUST while leveraging on each teammate's strengths.

I am a DIRECT person:

- Everyone is aware how bold I can be. Still, I am a person who is full of surprises. I can make you laugh real hard…

All in all, it’s merely work and let’s put it that way.

ONE STEP BACK

2010-09-17T05:55:00.004+07:00

I made my move again and this time 2 steps at a time.

I've tender my resignation back in Telekom Malaysia Berhad and my last date was end of July 2010. Report to The Body Shop right after that.

It felt a bliss at first but when I got to my new job, I was overwhelmed by the new culture and environment. It's pretty amazing how an environment can takes a toll on someone when you don't have the passion in doing the job. For the first time in my life, I felt that ...I don't feel happy doing the things/work.

I don't see work is just work...I need to feel the significance of the job.

I love the feeling when I completed a job...

I love the feeling when my boss come up to me and said 'Job Well Done'~felt like a bliss~'

I love the feeling when all those late nights at office is accompany with your slumber colleagues...

*haizz*

And I tendered my resignation from The Body Shop in just 2 months serving them. The most sulkiest part is that I got to pay them RM 7k as they bought my 3 months period from TM. There went all my savings...

Deeply inside, I know it's a huge sum of money...yet I'm not able to drag myself for another 4 months . It takes a toll on me emotionally. I think it hard enough and I got to do this,,,

This would not be an easy path for me, I've got to cut all my expenses just to ensure I've enough money to survive...so if you see me around, you'll be paying for my yum cha!

There's only one way now: FORWARD.

Gotta forget all my past, it's a brand new chapter.

Sincerely;

Mei

LIFE:

I’ve lost someone in my family. Ama (Grandma) passed away on the 11 May 2010. I was lucky enough to meet her 2 days before she left us. I could still remember, she was so weak and slowly she couldn’t remember names by then.

Chea Chea gave me a call at 3.00 am and told me the news. I wish I was able to rush back to Melaka the morning itself, yet I made the decision to wrap up a job that was given to me. It was also the same day my flight to Beijing was scheduled. My heartiest thanks to my dear sista cos she has been wonderful person. She managed Ama’s funeral and handling all those family issues all at once.

Thank you for being understanding of my situation and supports all my decisions. I pray that she will be happy at the place she’s now…and I’m sure she’s smiling right now.

Ama, you’re always close to my heart…I’ll miss your toasted charcoal bun, I’ll miss those hands that used to brush my short hair…but most of all I’ll miss your big glimpse of smile whenever we took your pictures.

With so many thoughts in my mind, Beijing trip was a blissful breakaway and the time for me to plan what’s NEXT? While I was in China, I felt the different side of my usual life.

My housemates are awesome ladies. Thank you ladies for being there when I need you gals. Endless thanks to Jasmyin Petrinna Tay and Nadine Gan.

I’ve bought my very own LCD TV and this time around, I placed an extra budget to purchase an air-conditioned for my younger sista. She deserves it…

All in all, LIFE has been pretty subtle to me. Some people might think I’m extremely occupied yet during the weekends, I enjoy just sitting in front of TV and just chillexing. I’m calmer when ‘someone’ does the talking instead of me.

WORK:

I rant more about my work, do I?

Pretty good news in my career development here. On January itself, I’ve got an award ‘Outstanding yada yada yada’, I’ve took the $$$ but not the cert :-). Then I’ve got my ‘BONUS’ KACHING KACHING KACHING….but what I appreciate the most was the CALL from my GM in informing me on the GCEO’s Merit Award (an additional of 1.5 x monthly paid, KACHING). Credit to the management who actually acknowledged and recognized those that do the JOB! With that my designation suits me perfectly: GM a.k.a General Machaitellar.

Although I've received numerous recognitions, yet I feel suppress in my current platform. I enjoy doing my job, I really do. My superiors are great people, my Tuan-Tuan did splendid job in setting up…my colleagues, ‘boleh la’. I’ve taken the week off to recall what ‘MEI’ actually made of…so here it goes

I used to be someone who stands up for what I believed in, I used to know what and how to it in just few months, I used to have bosses that supports me and challenge me when needs to, I used to have competitive colleagues/environment (tho they are pretty awesome bitches and gossipers) and makes me to be at their par, and I used to have SOMETHING to improve on myself. It’s all about ‘getting there’.

So what I did is that, I hunt for new jobs la. Went for several interviews, pretty well, got shortlisted here and there, yet at the end of the day, is either I asked for TOO MUCH or their looking at someone FRESH that can be easily adapted to a new organization, in simpler words (ego yang kurang). Well, I’m not letting the ‘rejection issues’ bothering me. I’ve even consider to do what I did last year: Took one (1) week off and went back to cruising…hmm, I missed that. Although it was only a week, yet I’ve learnt a lot. A LOT.

All in all, I just wanna explore more opportunities out there, and who knows in years to come, I’ll be much readied to contribute to the organization.

This is Mei signing off.

2009-10-31T07:59:00.005+07:00

Life has been tremendously occupied.

To summarize:

WORK:

1. It’s all about work, work and work…
2. I threw my tantrum a lot as some things weren’t up to my expectations.
3. This time around, I uttered more ‘blunt words’ that I normally do.
4. There are quite a handful of events that needed to be coordinated at early stage, this time around I will just LISTEN and stop suggesting….I’m paid to listen.
5. Yeah! I’ve got a new colleague, too early to judge, but I strongly believe she can be molded by keeping up to my speed.
6. I dislike @hate undecided decision.
7. I dislike @hate agency who thinks I don’t know…: Doesn’t mean I’m only 24, I have no freaking idea what is creative all about.
8. My new manager has been tremendously a ‘GREAT MENTOR’ to me. He guide me quite well I must say, the only thing is that he just don’t listen to me and up to a point he will say this-

: ‘UP TO YOU LA MEI, YOU’RE THE BOSS!’

- Nonetheless, one of the managers that I fond to work with other than Mr. Hairil.
9. My superior on the hand, is a lady whom I perceived as strong and out-loud lady who never fails to stand up for her team and yea…salute on her passion in getting things done.

LIFE:
1. My TV got struck by lighting…and I’ve got it repaired…Thx to David!
- Good job bro…good job…
2. Housewarming got postponed, as all of us having other obligations to be met.
3. Took a day leave just to ensure I don’t throw tantrum at my bosses…phewh that’s a relief.
4. There’s always things in life which I careless about:
- Picking up the most ‘unattractive muffins’ in a bakery
- Stuck in traffic (Normally I’ll take the time for myself)
- Got lost in driving
- Go to work without make up
- Clubbing/pubbing/chilling (I’m getting old…and I don’t think I have the energy to keep up the same hype the very next working days)
5. I placed a very high demand in:
- Services
- Arrangement of my clothes in my wardrobe
- CLEAR Communication
- my family well-being
- my sista(s) achievement in life (hey, it has to start from the early stage)
- my superiors management style towards me
- spending some time with my housemates (either for a heavenly breakfast on Saturday morning or a movie night at least once a month)
6. I love to quote and unquote statements from those around me. I found them ‘quite charming’ in a way.
7. I have been travelling much more than I used to. I’ll enjoy it more should I’m in a vacation rather than work and of cos accompanied with my gals.
8. I still think SINGLE is SEXY.

9. I'm being far more demanding in meeting my own life expectations!

10. I still don't cook...yet :-)

Mei signing off!

I'M AROUND

2009-09-07T22:32:00.004+07:00

Hey babes and hunks! I'm still around...

It's been quite a while since my presence in this blog.

Loads of stuffs happened.

I mean A LOT.

1. I've bought my all-time favourite WHITE myvi in April :-) with my own money of cos...did not use my parents money since I'm 17.

2. Transferred to a new department :-) something that I look forward everyday. EVENTS! Wohooo!

3. Shifted to USJ11 (opposite Taipan) with my babes! (Jasmyin, Nadine) and superb handsome Germany/Malaysian hunk (David: dey..which happened to be Nadine's little bro who is going to be the NEXT CLEO BACHELOR: hahahah).

4. Went back to Melaka after 2 months travelling due to events.

5. Serving great bosses and surrounded with loads of accessories boyfriends. Hmm, will update you on each one of them :-)

6. So far, yup life has been equally fair to me, have been travelling a lot around M'sia, my ex-manager has been tremendously supportive and work has never been so much of fun.

7. With adhoc datelines to be met, ridiculous request from bosses (quite fun laa), and stacks of REPORTS needed to be compiled has never been so much satisfying to me.

8. Last but not least, I've got selected to be in 1Malaysia TM Billboard nationwide. Wohooo! Nasib je...cos I'm the only Chinese.

Gotta dooze off now~

Flight back to KL is at 8.00am...gotta rush to office, settle all those coordination, meeting up with my bosses (just in case he needed me to complete it).

Mei signing off from Penang!

A BIG GLIMPSE OF SMILE

2009-03-15T10:34:00.008+07:00

Head up, shoulders back and walk as if the WORLD belongs to you.

That’s how I feel.
‘Dey, I’m not in a relationship, I don’t need mushi-mushi thingy’

I’ve found a much clearer career path right now. I’m able to lift my head up again. There’s always a principle that I uphold: ‘No one should makes you feel inferior without your consent’.

True enough.

So here I am. There’s so much of stuff that needed to be done. Looking forward to place all my ideas in my new job platform. Can’t wait!

Yesterday I met with my bro(S), Hafizi and Noh. We chatted a lot and yup, they have been a TREMENDOUS BROS to me. A friend, a mentor, but most of all being such a great companion.

I’ve always enjoy chatting with them, changing ideas, criticizing each other opinion’s, paraphrase one’s statement…haizz, but one thing for sure, they always the one who PULL me up again. Hafizi and Noh are definitely credible people, yet they didn’t show it to the public, low profile kinda person: intact with knowledge: willingness to share: priceless

Cheers my friend.
Your advice is well noted. I need to be ‘BOLD’, never loose the touch yet keeping the ‘harmony’ among the new team that I will be working. Be different.

It’s really sweet of them as well to make me realize that I’m always the one who creates the ‘hype’ within the people that around me. Yeaaa, that’s my specialty, I’m able to ‘hoo-hoo haaa’ : in other words, I’m LOUD for a reason. Gotta think one step ahead of others.

Got the chance to meet up with Margaret and Kevin as well.

CONGRATES Margaret cos making thru as the finalists in ASTRO SHORT Film. Thumbs up.
I’m blessed to have friends that ‘pat at each other back’. Thanks for the LA stamp! Love it gal.
It has been 4 years since I’ve met both of from the previous exchange program. Margaret: Definitely the SAME STUBBORN, independent lady, yet she’s has tone down a bit….Yeaaaaaayyyyy!

Kevin on the other hand, being such a great friend, caring and of cos such a great joker la brader. He chosen a path that he never thought he will…now that’s something that can be proud of. Still, he’s the best bass guitarist!

My current job scope has been exciting lately. Getting more demanding from coping up with datelines, meeting up with customers’ expectations till wrapping up the job itself.

I deliver the job in my own way: a little of twist:

- I’m not good in technical knowledge, yet I know how to leverage my own strengths.
- I ASKED dumb question(S), loads of them as to get the job done!

I’ve started working at the young age, and I’m being trained by all levels, from the makcik cleaner till top notch superiors that molded my attitude towards life.

I’m pretty mature for my age, and I cannot tolerate should others are not meeting up with my minimum par line. That’s the reason, why I don’t listen.

IMPATIENT, you must say, that’s how visible my expectation(S) are.

Expectations needed to be visible and transparent between both parties.
Bosses are dumb people, but so does an employee should he/she do not seek what is required by their superiors.

Do NOT ASSUME, ASK, SEEK and PROVOKE should you need to.

Mei spreading the 'blurnesss' to my loyal readers :o)

A longggggggggg rant....

2009-01-18T20:09:00.004+07:00

Loads of thing happened...just a glance,

1. Fake FAME

Yeah! At last, I appeared in my company's magazine: Front Cover. Phewh~I thought they wouldn't be publishing it. Got many calls from all over the states...many of them were like 'Ermm, are you the one...?; YES I am.

Read up the full version.

2. Engaged into a new game: Squash
My so called 'Geng-Geng Squash'

3. Spring cleaning

Yup, that's my cubicle. As CNY is just around the corner, how could I not clean up my workspace. 4. I've shifted to my new place. Had my last christmas with my ex-housemate

5. Went to TM Club Annual Dinner. It was great but not as awesome as last year. 6. My job getting tougher these days and I love it. Gee...and I'm ready for a change

6. Tadaaaa, meet Aini, a fabulous gal with SUCH A BIG Heart, but most of all being such a great friend.

Will update soon..

Hugs and kisses: Mei

TM Amazing Race 2008_Slumber Giler...

2008-12-17T07:15:00.011+07:00

SERENITY...

Here how it's STARTS!

Yada..yada..yada..(briefing), we were at the back trying our VERY BEST to 'digest' the info...

It was a challenging race yet with loads of 'unique' challenges here and there. We definitely pulled it off. Our team consisted of SUPERB people,

1. The Driver: Palvinder Singh (with his beloved PESONA)

2. The Navigator: Akmal...(with Pal's GPS..he can't seem to live without it)

3. The Entertainer/Joker: FZ (He's the only one that is assigned to MAKE US LAUGH)

and....

4. The Reliable Info: MEI (Yeah men, I'm the resourceful one..who can answer history question, with the help of my bros: Hafizi and Noh!)

Loads of FUN. Don't managed to snap pictures along the way..so only a few shots la. Enjoy

I have fun and mots of all spending some time with my colleagues.

We are from different department: sales, sales planning, business strategy and NGN...but we came as one team, and yeah it's all about teamwork.

Thx guys!

I've had a short breakaway last 2 weeks ago. It was a wonderful experience, but what touches me the most is how 'I begin to like 'X'. Mixing around those from other states make me realize that these ppl has put all their hear out for X.

I have loads of fun but it was dead tiring as there were so many activities line up for us. We hardly got any rest...

So here how it starts...

Thanks to Mr. Johari, we managed to get to Kuala Tahan by 12.30PM. Thx for 'tumpangkan' me. Appreciate it a lot. Once we arrived, we were then told to pack our stuff for 2 days 1 night camp. You should have seen my face reaction on that moment. It has been along time since I've stepped my foot to the 'woods'. Ahhhhh, only one thing that I dislike is 'being dirty'.

So we were then brought for a boat ride nearly about 30 minutes to this island. Yes, we are left stranded for one day there. Set up our camp and off the muslims went for prayers. I was deeply asleep...while awaits for the team to finish their prayer. No problem for me as I adapt quickly to any environment.
A discussion took place along the way as in to create our cheer and group flag. Blue was my group and our cheer goes 'SLUMBER GILER...' The dinner was SUPERB! Yeah, we don't have to cook! Eventually the local guide cook for us, we had RICE, HOTDOGS, GRILLED CHICKEN/FISH, and even LAMB! and not to mention TOMYAM soup as well. Thumbs up guys.

We were all drop dead tired (long hour travel journey) and we still needed to drag ourselves to the 'kupasan tugasan' session. All in all, it was great for the starts. It was refreshing exposure, I must say.

Boat ride..wohooo

Superb scenery

All ups and set your camp!

BLUE TEAM!!!

So many activites in-stored for us. There were CAVE EXPLORATION, CANOPY WALK, TEAM BUILDING activities, Site Seeing for 'Ikan Kelah', HIKING, and so much more. I enjoyed every single of the activity..it was really goooood.
There was Hari Raya Dinner held for us as well. Eventually I celebrated my birthday there as well. Thank you for the gift and guess what I won the 'best partcipant'. Wohooo!

Thank you Kelab TM Malaysia!

Any my greatest thanks to Mr. Johari, Encik Azmi, Puan Rohayah, Puan Zainon, Puan Aishah and Mr. Azman Zan Jusoh for the opportunity.

Pictures say it all...

Departure: Goodbye Rainforest Taman Negara

Today (2 Nov 2008)

I felt a sense of 'clear direction'. I did a emcee job for Taiko's Marketing Annual Dinner and it went 'quite well' just a little of out of hand issue on the stage. Still it ended nicely. Got a pat from the TMK's upper management and yup, it's a wrap for me.

It has been a (1) yr since I left the hosting job, and when I'm on the stage yesterday, I feel being 'Mei'.

Everything is clearer now...I have my dreams to achieve.

I'm going to utilize my time well. Few things that I intend to brush up:

1. My guitar lessons (Yes, I can sing..as well)

- Since I sold my guitar to one of my friend, I need to buy one.

2. Mandarin...language

3. Freelance Master of Ceremony (Hmm...?)

- Looking at my portfolio, yea...I do have the experience...hmmm, I think I should to get extra cash.

Back to TMK's emceeing. Came back from One World Hotel at 12.00am, got a quick shower and off I went to bed. Usually when I'm in my good mood, I normally listen to music when I sleep...and I did.

Slept soundly, till I get a SMS text from my bro: Hafizi.

It was a devastated news to me..it's a great lost to Noh and his family. Things quite rough for them, and I wish I could help...

Eventually my horoscope for today has never been so accurate...

The Bottom Line
You may really want to help a friend, but there are real limits to what you can do.
In Detail
You may really want to help a friend or coworker who is struggling to keep up right now, but there are limits to what you can do. Don't beat yourself up if you can't make their world as sunshiney bright as you feel it should be. Everyone goes through tough times, and this person will get through it. More than anything, they just need your support right now. You might not be able to change anything for them, but you can be their friend -- and that's priceless. So just aim for that.

Yours truly:

Mei

SILO MENTALITY

2008-09-23T14:51:00.003+07:00

I wanna share a quote...

'When a gal threw her fits, she's NOT being emotionally affected...she's just trying to do her job...a job that supposed to be done by others, ..a person like 'YOU'

How's that sounds? It's been a mess 'HERE'. I threw my fits at lots of internal staff here, I mean common, its' been 'tai-ching efficiently' around us. All they know, is just to shoot an email and reuesting this and that...it's a BIG laugh just to think about it, I mean common~if and only IF everyone is doing their part, the company may save a LOT~

I have prepare for the worst and my letter has been drafted, sealed and kept where it supposed to. When the announcement made, I will then decide and make my final say
~ I've tried to ask myself what can I contribute to 'X', but I guess it's my time to go~I have datelines/expectations to meet, and I know my talent and capabilities can be further polish in other places.

The platform now seems to be supressed whereby the restructuring going to take place. I'm not good in numbers and I won't be, I couldn't imagine myself looking at my laptop the whole day. Who say that they are going to allocate you the jobscope that suits your PPA?

Give me a break, I'm not letting msyelf down. I have enough of complying to others and be someone back up.
I have so much to offer and you know what, it's my time to move forward.

I'm lucky cos my dad reminds me that no one should take your dignity without your consent. I shape my own career path, not office politics.

Determination always lead my way. So far, I managed to pull myself up each fall. It would be a hard journey, who can deny that?

So, here I am, standing tall (arrogant, you may say)...who cares? One should keep improving and not complying to others...I was not given an option, it's not a choice either.
It's not about the fairness...they just tend to utilize my 'perfectionist attitude'.

In the end of the day, I'm NO ONE.

I'm not going to demotivate myself, I'm going to STAND UP THIS TIME. This is the real 'Mei'

Daaaa, I'm smiling widely~

Pesta Malam Indonesia II_16th August 2008

2008-08-17T13:19:00.013+07:00

16th August 2008 (Saturday)

I called it A DAY~

Attended my evaluation/assessment test and yeap, I failed my mathematical paper. Yup, I failed. Frustration builds up within me, can’t deny although there are few easy mathematical questions, yet I forgot the WHOLE thing. I’m not good in Maths, and don’t asked me how I scored my papers previously. I took a deeeeep breathe and walked out.

Eventually it’s a relief cos I’m late for my concert :0) Still, I was thankful..all in all it’s a good start.

I quickly went home to pick up my housemate (Mitchell) and other TM’s crew, we managed to reach by 4.30PM. Parked my Honeybee at the VIP’s parking and off we went to the main stage.

After lingering around, I tag along with Mitchell to the VIP’s Access Lounge. Loads of celebrities were there, but naaaah, I don’t feel like taking photo with them cos ‘I don’t feel like it’

~Wohooo~VIP(S) Access~

A bar, cocktail party with loads of lingering around with celebrities and of course TM's crew

Oh yea, as Sheila on 7 walked through the lounge, as usual everyone just swamp them. I’m amazed on how Sheila on 7 treats their fans, they are really nice people~thumbs up. Their showmanship was great as they managed to put on a great show as well as how they resolve the fights among the crowd~Hebat bangat si…

Ok back to the ‘Sheila on 7’, as everyone is rushing to snap photo with them, I caught the most nostalgic shot of the day. The lead singer and his family…

He’s definitely a great dad…most of the time he was advising his son not to run around and ensuring his family closely to him.

~A great dad~

Meet the Fan Session with Sheila on 7

Peter Pan! YEAY~I managed to get a photo with him. I slipped into his circles of friends in the lounge and request a photo with him. He smile and…yes! There you go.

Aku dan Peter Pan Lead Singer (Is it Ariel?)

Some pictures to share

Thank you Mitchell for the passes but most of all being my companion. I enjoy it a lot

STAGE: Pesta Malam Indonesia 2, brought to you by i-Talk TM

LOVE IT

All in all, it was a wonderful day for me, tho I screwed up my assessment test.

It’s true, when one thing don’t work for you; it’s ok…who knows what might awaits you next?

I’m late for my HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL~Daaaaaa~

10.56PM
My job...(not career yet)

I’m sure…that’s how I feel it right now.
I’ve decided…I need to move forward. I gave myself the dateline and I hardly can wait any longer. This is it.

I stayed here for almost one year…I’ve took the time to engage myself to the job. Trying to like the job…to be honest with you, yea I like the JOB. My manager has been tremendously good to me. He’s a great gut with loads of heart. I just felt that the direction is from the management seems hayed wired. They can’t see what are the problem and the arising issues from the bottom level.

What are they thinking…? Seems ridiculous…? Yes, definitely

I feel that I need to get on my feet once again…letting go all those variables that holding me back.

I want to be competent...I need to. It's not a question yet I should establish my very own platform. I need to have my life...

10th August 2008 (Sunday)

7.15PM

My thoughts...

I do have great moments here…great colleagues that make my day (tho at times, their sarcasm is way out of hand). What if they leave before me? I’ll miss them dearly…at least that’s the motivation that keeps me waking up early in the morning to go to work :0(

Kala, Mei, Aishah and Syaz

High Impact Team Building_PD

Muahaha, it's a secret...

I could still remember when I’ve got into the induction camp, I was in ‘Blueeer Hyppo’. I’ve laughed so much and yea, I cheerish the bond. It’s a pleasure to know each one of you. That's how I met Syaz, she's a talented lad and she speaks real well. Hopefully I got the time to know her more. I feel dissapointed not having enough time to know bout Suzanne. She was in my team as well. I know they are great people with great attitude towards life. I wish them 'All the best'!

Now, things pretty different here. Pretty hard for me to be happy and cheerful. When I arrive home, I miss all those talking and burst laughing that I used to. My housemates are really nice people, actually they are GREAT people, but we just don’t share the same ‘thoughts’. Still they are nice people seriously.

My housemates
Mitchell gave me VIP Access Tickets to Pesta Malam Konsert Indonesia, featuring Sheila On 7, Unggu, Dewa-Dewi, Peter Pan and many more. I'm very excited and thankful, but most of all I feel grateful to Mitchell. Thank you Mitchell. I appreciate it a lot.

It meant a lot to me as it's been a while since I've attended all this 'happenning thingy'. I'll be going there myself, hopefullly it's not so bad enjoying the moments myself. I linger around pretty easily. Who knows I might bump into familiar faces there. If you're one of them, let's ROCK the place!

Mitchell, Edina and Peter are my housemates. 2 lawyers and 2 TM people staying in one-roof :0).

Edina reminds me of my mom. She cooks really well, balancing the house chores and her career, ahaak, this lad amazes me on her interests, gardening, knitting, 'a perfect lady'.

Peter on the other hand, is the MAN of the house, all the 'kerja-kerja pertukangan, he's in charge. A great guy as well, as I can see how he treats Edina with care and responsibility. Thumbs up.

Last but not least, Mitchell, this lady is indeed very independent. She's a nice gal with such a good heart. She wouldn't trouble people and always speak nicely, and yea she cooks well as well, as she undergone training with Edina. All in all, they are nice people. Pretty hard for me to explain what has occured between my housemates and I. I've learned the lesson...

Mitchell and Edina

Happy bday gals

My family

I miss my mummy and papa. I had this weird dream of my mummy and I do admit I have this superb big ego to comply with my parents. I was brought up in a traditional way whereby my papa and mummy shows their care and love to us in an invisible way…We don’t hug each other nor say I miss you or I love you, instead of…they will go...like this:

‘Don’t sleep on the floor’
Eaten dee?
Weekend wanna eat what?
Want some pau, papa ta pau?

I’m blessed, as I know what’s wrong and what’s right just by looking on their action. Whatever I do, I know that I can’t repay all those sacrifices that you’ve made for us.
I’ve got to make you proud of me...

Salute...they are my inspirations...

Myself

There's a lot things that I need to straighten up. I need to hold on something that I passion for. Not a relationship, duh...
I've found that there's a lot missing in my life and I need to seek for it before its too late :0)

With love:
Mei

What makes you different?

Friday

11th July 2008

Last Friday was my roughest day. Did a superb mistake which it should NOT be made at all. I can't understand 'why' it such a mess here. I just caused the whole branch to be down for a stupid mistake that my PM should be aware of it, but not only he do not, he request me to proceed.

'Laughing at myself' Welcome to TM~

Thank to GOD, the installer (Mr. Wong) quickly went to the customer site and re-install the NT again. Thank you so much...I was relief. Since the incident happened during lunch hour (friday prayers), there was not much I can do...except awaits the update from Mr. Wong. I was dead tired calling each personnel at the data exchange by then, hence I actually slept for 30 minutes (sleeping with so many things in my mind).

I was lucky as Mr. Wong rang me up and he stated it was OK and running. I became calm...and right then it HITS me: This is not 'Mei'. I should be contented and smiling widely BUT I felt so ANGRY at myself. It hits me REAL HARD this time.

I sat down at my living room for quite some time (thinking)...Grab my car key and walked in the office and once again clean up the MESS.

Although the sales job is pretty flexible here yet I disagree on the tools/system that currently been practised. I don't see the rational of it. There's too many of reporting of status whereby these are those 'things' that should be clear cut. I dislike when people kept pushing me to give in status but all they know is just to complete their job..I mean c'mmon. There is no initaitive to act on it rather than report to the upper management. 'Laughing at myself again' .

I'm SURE that this is not the platform that I tend to build. It meant nothing to me. Can't deny, the benefits are great, mobile fees, increment of petrol claims, data broadband for FREE, laptop and etc, yet it shouldn't be the main constraint that holding me back. I have no commitment and I know sooner or later I'll move forward.

I just got to..

Went back home and I just got the rush to edit my resume. I was stumbled cos I have no idea what to write for my current job. Slept at 9.30pm as I was really drained out (mentally). I slept soundly..and I dreamt in becoming 'Mei' silently.

I just go to...

Remarks:

Thanks to my closest soul mate: Orange, as we managed to spend some time together. It's been a while since we sat and chat. It's nice to catch up with you gal...and oh the scenery at your apartment~that's life. Next time around, we'll opt for the wine :-)

Sincerely:

Mei

Simplicity...

2008-06-05T11:43:00.005+07:00

It’s been a long time since I updated this blog. Was pretty occupied with my job here. At times, there’ so much I wanna pen down yet I don’t seem to get the mood. So as to compensate all of this, Mei going to put all her heart out on this post…Muahahaha, Wakakakaka, Kah Kah Kah, Hahahaha…

Job?
Loads of stuff happens, most of the times, I’m drained out. I know I should have spent some time for myself but it just kept coming. The upper management only knows how to request for reports, figures and etc without taking the time to be directive and be certain of what they want. Work bounce here and there…I knew it supposed to be ‘this way’ but like it or not it should be ‘their way’. As always, I’m blessed to have Mr. Hairil as my teammates, manager and my colleague.

Life is simple so does a JOB. The paid that I received every end of the month is for what I did. Simple…

Memorable moments?
Anyway, this month has been a wonderful exposure for me. Guess what, I’ve got selected to join the trip to Shanghai (TM&VADS Pemiere). Overall, it was allright. The flight was Malaysian Airlines and it was my first time to actually take the national air carrier. To be frank, I’m not the kinda person that demands a lot but the service was pretty bad. The whole experience pretty bad I must say. Maybe it’s subjective.

I still love Thai Airways. Met with loads of familiar faces there, most of them are the people that I’m working with_Halim VADS, Hussain Awang Boon, David_VADS, Gary_VADS, Suutan_VADS, Allan and Gina_VADS. Got to know happening people as well…Zafuan, Ashruff, Hisham and etc. It was fun to hang out with them…all those teasing and crapping. I’m thankful to work with them, all the task done promptly and efficiently. As the trip came to an end, only God knows what awaits me. Pending job…
Came to office on Public Holiday (Wesak day) as to clear my emails. Fuh, byk giler. Enjoy the pictures~

Adyanty and 'Mei'

Taadaaaa!

Wohooo!

Yesterday met up with one of my long lost freshies (Pandan Leman). He actually could still remember me, thx men. I was surprised when he called. Keep up that spirit of yours! We chatted a lot, and yeah I do miss all those bullying. Time sure flies and I hardy realize. He will be in his 4th year and it has been a year since I left MMU. Maybe I do leave a big impact on others. Ape mau buat, I do have a BIG mouth, I just talk. Once, I gave a short speech and I make my audience cried. So yea, you gotta speak from your heart. That’s one of the reason why I just ‘speak’ no matter how bad I fool myself. It’s just me.

Happenings?
Yeay, going off to Bandung soon~looking forward to it. Sigma yearbook is out and I have yet got my hands on it. Thanks for the honour~

Office politics?
Not interested. I gave myself a time line and hopefully I stick to it. Oh yea, I can’t stand of sarcasms statement. Still I’m dealing with it.

Life?
The beauty of life is simplicity…it won’t hurt you if you take it as the way it is.

Till then~
Mei

It's just...

2008-05-06T06:54:00.001+07:00

Freaking tired and spent so much here…for the good reasons, of course. It’s all worth it.

1st May (Thursday)
My niece won the state level sprint 200m hence bought for her Happy Meal and chocolate for her rewards. Not forgetting for her brother as well (my nephew). Proud of her as her achievement was published in the The Star paper.

Spent some time there chatting with my aunt, uncle and of course my Ama. She fell sick for the past weeks and it was great to see her ‘nagging’ at me again. Ahaaa…bought her some ‘siew paus’ and left at 12.00pm as I was exhausted. I’m soooooooo thankful as it was a public holiday (wohoo, no calls from customer)= It’s MY DAY!. Spent the whole day watching TV and bullying Mei Ching (muahahaha, free foot massage). At around 10.00pm, Noh called me up as the Thai people had reached Melaka. Being a nice host, I drove to Melaka Raya and met them up. Hop on to Hafizi’s van and off we went to the nearest Mamak’s stall. It’s great to meet Tim again since the last exchange programme. This time around, he was with his sister: Tuk and one Italian guy: Franciso. Yeay..at last can meet up with Hafizi and Noh! Nice talking to you guys…thx bros. Since it was almost 3am, it was time for me to head home.

2nd May (Friday)
Got up at 6.30am. Fetch Mei Ching to school, argh…then continue my Zzz till 8.30am as I need to bring the Thai’s and Franciso for a visit around Melaka. Brought them for a DIM SUM breakfast and we moved on to the beach at Pantai Puteri. Gosh, the beach was….*speechless*. It’s full of rubbish and the sand is black. Imagine how I felt that moment. We then proceed to Stadhuys area and finished up the tour with a great lunch and tea-break. Hope they enjoy their trip here. I was dead tired by then. The weather was superb HOT and I need to do the driving. Noh joined us for dinner at Tomyam Klasik. To be honest, it’s a great place/ambience yet the service was far below my expectations. I never get angry with services but this way too much. Hmm, maybe I was tired and I hate to wait, and I hate when my food sucks and etc. Drove them to Melaka Sentral as they need to catch the last bust to Penang. Aliyos guys!

3rd May (Saturday)
Today met up with Eunice. Picked her up and off we went to Malim. Whoaa, can’t believed it’s been a while since we have gals talk together.
Was supposed to have dinner with family but I don’t really like ikan bakar (I’ve been eating it frequently since I worked at TM), so I skipped. Just don’t like the feeling to be pushed and doing something that I don’t like (yes, I am stubborn, I admit). Overall my weekends are great…great companions with a little hassle here and there, it’s worth it.

Life is just life and that’s how it’s going to be, and I’m ready to endure the hard part of it. To be honest, I don’t see myself being a technical person, yet I begin to enjoy it. The path that I lead now may not what I want, yet I got to move on. I’ll keep my dreams alive, that’s for sure~

Cheers~Only Mei

My theme songs!

2008-04-30T16:42:00.001+07:00

Thnak you...

2008-04-27T16:22:00.002+07:00

I’m blessed in certain ways…Someone who makes me smile when I’m down, lending me his ears to listen my rant~haizz..appreciate it to all my bro(s). At times, things don’t go how I want it to be, and at times people got misunderstood me and at times, I may not able to explain myself, but that’s OK, soon I realize…that’s how it should be. People will judge and let them be…:-)

I’m smiling now.

Last week was a definitely a rough week for me…as Mr. Hairil took 1 week leave for Bandung vacation, I merely took over all the customer’s request. Phewh~seriously, it’s not an easy task. Friday was the toughest, as one of my clients eventually requested the system to be upgrade in just a day. We couldn’t commit to it as the work order needed to be out (both of my approval took leave), and the limitation of my technical crew. Not to add on the lead time as well. It got worst as being scolded by him, geee.. Seriously this guy indirectly taught me a lot. Thank you Sir for being really direct to me. I’ll try to deliver it. Walaupun kena marah begitu teruk sekali, it’s ok…I got to put my heart into it. At the same time, I’ve got a great news as well…eventually I am being proposed to go to Shanghai, CHINA~wohhoooo. Hopefully, it’s being confirmed.

Looking forward to shift to new apartment with my bestest clown friend…It definitely will be an ease as both shares the same interest, thinking and of cos the way of life but most importantly, he just cheers me up~always. As a friend, I do hurt him at time, hey, I’m quite bold…What amazes me the most is how he actually deals with it.

Honeybee got robbed! As usual…being Mei, I just sat there and look around and the first person I rang was Si Azizi. Thank god, he’s around. Halimah came as well, thank you gal. Appreciate it. Went to my usual foreman, they were really nice to me and told me that my car can be fixed within 30 minutes. Phewh~. Although, the car got broke in, I’m still thankful Honeybee is OK. Without him, tak boleh la I gie kerja…berpoya and etc. Chea-Chea was in KL for a conference as she accompany Boey’s parents. Broke the news to her, and Chea-Chea just asked me to repair it. Aiseman Chea-Chea, you should at least come and visit me. It’s pretty funny on how things go lately. Disappointed yet I could handle it by myself right now. Staying with Chea-Chea Ling now till the stuff settle down, at least…I have someone to talk to.

All in all...Thankful and bless.

Shhh...

2008-03-16T18:48:00.003+07:00

End of this March, I shall be permanent in TM. At last…Work has its own ups and downs. Loads of stupid things happened to me since I’ve came here. When I think about it, it makes me laugh…My journey has been a wonderful one, and I realize that I can do wonders NO MATTER where I am…, it merely takes my determination to pull it off.

I adapt well in my new job (not so new anymore), love the flexibility over here, colleagues… (bole la except I’m seriously bored to death when everyone went out and I’ve got stuck to do billings and account management); but the worst part of all, there is no one for me to joke with and be ‘Mei’

*full stop*.

Let me just rant on my foolish moments

I. Someone caught me talking alone in the office lift
The truth is that I was pretending mimicking the ‘lift voice over’ when the door is opened. Eventually Menara TM lifts aren’t user friendly to the OKU’s (no brailed inaction and voice over). I was pretty lucky as I wasn’t wearing my tag at that time. Muahahahaha.

II. I forgot names….
Seriously…I can’t recall any names EXCEPT if he/she gave me a REAL GOOD handshake. Aha…now you know. Here goes….: I intend to call one of the mobile phone number and in a blink, I forgot what’s his name, till I’ve got to refer him ‘Sir’.

III. I went to the Zoo during working hours…
It happens to me during my job at Ministry. I was been instructed to go to the Zoo as I need to prepare the marketing plan. Only I and the animals there…trust me, walking alone in the Zoo wasn’t a good idea. Ape nak buat, kerja punya pasal.

IV. I requested ANG POW from my CEO…
First thing first, I didn’t know he’s the CEO. Lessons learnt.

V. I saw things that I shouldn’t have….
He knows…I know. Tapi as usual…I pretend to be DUMB. The good part is that he’s willing to teach me the system and my job become way easier. He’s always someone whom I respect, always…Yea, I know it sounds funny, believe me you, its super duper FUNNY when I recalled it. I could still remember, I phoned my sis and told her bout it and both of us were like ‘Bulls Eye’.
Eh, don’t think the other way round (it’s nothing).

VI. I’m the pro in ‘SESAT JALAN’
- Yup, that’s me.

VII. I saw someone just bump into a wall…
I gotta thank that ‘someone’ cos he makes me laugh, seriously. Respect his ‘slumbrenes’! When the incident happen, I was laughing REAL BAD till he needs to cool me down. How’s that? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that act *haizz*.

VIII. I’m pretty conscious with my working attire.
When I feel uncomfortable with what I wear, I will only wear them early in the morning and rushed back home to change it. Don’t ask me why, it’s my habit.

Till then…
Mei

Coz it’s personal…

2008-03-11T19:18:00.002+07:00

Finally, my cousin got married~God blessed the newly weds. 8th Mac was the day…the Election Day, Datuk Samy’s bday as well as the wedding reception for my cousin: Ms. Tan Ai Ying…ermm..make it Mrs. Choong now.

I got nothing to say on the election as I did not register; hence it’s fair enough for me not to comment. The atmosphere back here in Melaka seems different after the Election Day. Was out with Rajes yesterday to service ‘Honeybee’, took a morning stroll at Jonker and for the very first time, the place wasn’t crowded like it usually does. It feels different…

Anyway back to the dinner reception. It was great as the guests do enjoy themselves, so did the bride and bridegroom. My heartiest thanks to ‘The Mellow’, the greatest live band that I ever encountered: maybe because I love each and every of their music genre~oldies…yeah men. ‘The Mellow’ is comprises of Mr. Bob (keyboard), Mr. Edgar (1st lead guitarist) and Mr. Gerard (2nd lead guitarist) and of cos the lead singer, Ms. Ana. When Ana introduced herself… I knew I’ve seen her before. As we chatted, only then I discover her real name is Emilia…'Ana’ is eventually her mom’s name. They sang at Sampan previously, and I was kinda the loyal customer there.

The reception dinner started once the arrival of Ai Ying and Chee Seng. They look so loving, dress up in the old ‘peranakan’ wedding dress. Definitely a captivating moment~

To cut things short, all of us dance the ‘dondang sayang’, ‘twist’ and so much more. It’s been a long time since I hosted. The best part of all, I got to do the ‘Yum Seng’ session *ouch*~believed me…it was like shouting in a gig ~Muhahahaha. Everyone is happy…and I’m contended tho I was in a bad condition (fever, flu, cough, headache, joint pain and etc.). I love microphone…a lot (I don’t sing). Missed it.

11th Mac 2008 (Tuesday)
It was a great loss for TM as I received the news that Colleen Ong has resigned and started working in another company. Met this gal during some kinda interview…and believe me you, she’s an outstanding gal with great attitude. Smart and friendly as well. We came into the same company and she was sent to product marketing. Eventually, her job scope was more into operation side (data entry and so forth), in the end she decided ‘it was the time to move on’. Salute her guts and I wish all the best for her. She’ll definitely pull it off~ She has so so much to offer to TM, and I’m saddened to see such talent is not nurtured here. It takes two to tango…and who am I to comment. One thing for sure, the lost goes to TM.

So yea…Colleen, Calista and Lydia were gone. Me? I’ll follow the flow…I don’t need a BIG car, a BIG house, or what so ever. I’m contended if I’m able to sustain myself, my parents, and of cos living a happy life. I’ll be ‘Mei’ always, tho is hard here~There are things that I’m afraid of (loosing my skills, my creativity, but most of all, loosing my self-confidence). I don’t speak up for myself anymore as I couldn’t be able to prove my point yet it just got to be done. All in all, I gotta keep my head straight up…keep up my spirit and never letting others deteriorating my drives.

Taaaadaaaaaaaaaaaaa……Kabaaaaaaaaboooooooooooom!

Sometime...

2008-03-02T10:35:00.004+07:00

How’s work?

Surprisingly things going quite all right actually, I realize that I’m lucky to be placed in the sales department. I am exposed to ALL TM’s products rather than being in a specific area.

Last Thursday, I was called up by the HR team, but this time around was conducted by Scholar Career Management (SCM): a new division. Anyway, the 2 hours of chit-chatting was for updating our current status in TM. Sad to say most of the majority was quite ‘unhappy’.

After hearing my colleagues’ situation, I’m pretty thankful of what I have done so far...: Some of them are doing business support (photocopying, billings, database and etc.) meanwhile the others are left floating and rotating from one sector to the other.

As usual, the lecture part is a MUST, whereby the officers told us on their career path in TM. I do understand that we (the scholars) gotta be thankful…and I AM. If wouldn’t for TM, I might not end up like ‘Mei’.

It’s true that it’s an advantage to know something more…than just what you’re good at. I’m taking that perception now… a job for me to live on.

Deep in me, I will hold on to what I want…it’s been a while since ‘it’ actually came out and when ‘it’ does, I’ll stand up tall and shout ‘It’s my’….now that’s something.

My sis came to KL for a day trip as Wen needed some help to bring back his motor, so yea…Boey (my sis’s bf) drove the Ranger and they tag along. Spend 6 hours with them, and it was a great day for me. *hint*~I don’t have to spend a cent… (Muahahahaha, being the younger siblings).

Went to IKEA, as they intend to buy few ‘big’ stuffs for their house. As for me, I wanted to get a cupboard, and since it do not fit in my car, I gotta pass.

As usual, my sis keeps ‘ticking’ and ‘penning’ down the stuff that she wants (ukur sini, ukur sana)…argh, how on earth they can spend so much time in doing ‘that’?.

I quickly rushed out to join the queues for ‘IKEA’s karipaps’, I just gotta have it, bought a dozen and handed to my sis as her treat.

After IKEA, we moved to ……(damn I forgot the place) to have our dinner, it was an Italy restaurant around Kepong. I handed my car key to Wen, as I am not familiar with the place out of PJ, so Boey and Chea-Chea gotta tag behind my ‘Honeybee’.

It was a scrumptious dinner, the pasta ‘superb’, the lamb shank was ‘tenderly done’ and of cos the dessert, SEDAP giler. We had tiramisu…

All in all, I had a GREAT day.

It doesn’t matter where you are, it’s the companion around you, that matters…

Thank you Chea for the treat. Appreciate it~

*hug*

Paranoid....

2008-02-25T18:32:00.004+07:00

Gosh...everyone gets really paranoid these days.

I guess words..really that powerful and how they can be 'disseminate' so fast. It's pretty funny how things get twisted. So far, my work is getting pretty easy but not the account management part. It's really different here, and I got to watch what I say and how I act.

No more fooling around and be transparency...I guess I got to be 'stiff'. I screwed up myself last week...eventually it was my bad...seriously. I was so occupied till I forgot to notify/inform/update (put in any ways to suit your likings) the HR team that I've decided not to take the incentive scheme.

Yeah...real bad...was supposed to attend the camp at Perak and in the end, I did not. So yea...I was seen as irresponsible...it was my bad. It doesn't seem rite for me to attend it if I don't have the intention take it. If I go, then I just take the advantge of 'free holiday' :-(.

It's a rough week..with splitting accounts reconcilation~phewh..I managed to do it. Had 2 meetings today...and I screw up the other one (or both?). Arghhhh...

Few good stuffs coming to me, but the timing seems so not right...was supposed to attend Kem Kepimpinan Kristal at Lumut Perak this Friday, since I have other obligations to be met, I've just got to turn it down.

I lost my cousin's programme tentative. Is her wedding program...and I lost it. Arghh..hardly have the time to rehearse the songs that I selected. Can I entertain the audience?

Things to do:

1. Practise the song/download wedding songs

2. Going back to Melaka (1 day trip as Suzanna wanna bring her foreign friends to tour around)

3. Take leave on 10 Mac (Mon).,,for sure dead exhausted

4. Arghh..need to buy 'butang kebaya' and 'taylor fitting'

5. Called and liaised with Gerard's Band

6. Reschedule my Bandung trip (shit happnes)

7. Honeybee needs to be 'servis'

8. Master Agreement (need to touch up sikit)

9. Internet Access requirement thingy

10. Information request (gotta bug SIU)

Where's Mei? She's lost...

I miss MEI A LOT. At times, I hardly know myself. Back then, I SMILE with all my heart...and now, I just smile...Becoming more 'kayu', not that outspoken. Seriously, I don't wanna loose myself. Someone told me that I'm being pessismist, (I am not). Don't judge me or even try to evaluate me.

2008-02-11T21:07:00.000+07:00

Dear blog,
1st Feb 2008 (Friday)

Booyah! I’m back to Melaka with Mr. Penyu and Mr. Buffalo~Brought them back this time cos they need a BATH la. ‘Buang all the sueh’. Packed all my stuff on Friday morning and headed to Kajang to pick up Azizi Bum. Damn…gotta wait him for 30 minutes…Was tired cos got to melayan him the day before and yup the 1 hour 30 minutes drive with him can be full of emo stories. But, I’m really glad to have him as my company. We shared stories, we laughed…*shrugged*

As we need to ‘bentangkan’ all the related issue, my mind occupied with unfinished task. I know that I need pull it off yet what concerns me is the TIME. Wrap the job by Sunday night and it was time to relax…and plan out my CNY.

5th Feb 2008 (Tuesday)
At first, I was planning to go home right after work, yet I was sleepy (tho I can be hyperactive at times). My working day was a great one…seriously. Early in the morning, I’ve got a call from my previous office requesting me to claim my cheuque. I was quite skeptical as I don’t quite earn the bonus…leaving them after 2 months was not a proud decision. On the other hand, I’m glad to leave them in a good hand as Tracy took over my position. She has so much to give…I’ve chat with Mr. Lim and it was a fruitful conversation as he is still the SAME (tegas and not a joke person when it come to work, but if you’re just one of his friend, seriously he can be so crappy and a great joker as well).

*next*
Ahak, Mr. Hairil Izwar gave me ANG POW. Alamaaaaak, macam terbalik plakkan. He asked me what’s POPO name and requested me to hand him ang pow packets. I thought it was for his client. When he handed me the angpows, I was surprised but most of all I’m TOUCHED. Called up POPO and informed him bout Mr. Hairil and POPO said this to me: Mei Mei, kerja baik baik ah…. “Loud and clear POPO, I will”

Working with Mr. Hairil is like working with a super duper slumber giler kinda person yet he knows exactly what he wants. Thank you Sir! So I packed my stuff, clean up my cubicle, had some good laugh with my colleagues (it’s crucial for me to entertain others) and of cos screwing up Ezuan. After all said and done, it was my time to head back to Pantai Hillpark (I need some sleep). Clean up my room, do my laundry and decorate my room before I went to bed at 9.00PM.

6th Feb 2008 (Wednesday)
Woke up at 5.30AM and start my journey back home at 6.15AM. I was thinking of taking coffee breaks in between but the whole journey was a BREEZE accompany with good music. Pull down the wind shield and the cold wind awakes me. The feeling was niceeee…..reached home exactly at 8AM as I promise to Papa and Mummy that I will pick them up for CNY eve prayers. They actually waited me…*shrugged* Chea Chea was not able to fetch them up cos Boey parents were in Melaka, so yea she needs to accompany them. No hal…Brought Mei Ching and Mummy for breakfast dulu, cos I was superb hungry and speed my way to Ama house. Once reached, I have so many tasks awaits me. Of cos I don’t get involved in all the prayers matters. Called up my cake suppliers as I made a pre-order of CNY cakes and they told me that the cakes can be ready by noon. Laaaaa….

Oh yea since my uncle was bored…I tagged him along with me to collect my cakes and of cos distributing them to my previous bosse(S). Drop by at US Pizza and chat a while with Uncle (he taught me how to make pizza dough, garlic spread, and etc.) and handed the staff some cakes. Next, I made my move to MTPN office and meet up with Puan Ruaida. She’s still the same…’motherly’. She makes me feel like home. Thank you Puan. Gave them the CNY cakes and then my uncle requested to bring him to buy lottery numbers. As a good and obedient niece…I drove him to 4D and he was still bugging me to find TOTO and DaMaCai shop. Alamaaak, I was really late for the prayers and exhausted. All in all, I did not help out much…I slept at my Ama’s comfortable bed till my sis wake up.

7th Feb 2008 (Thursday)
It’s NEW YEAR! For the first time, I gave PAPA and MUMMY angpow and of cos handed Mei Ching her allowance. It felt good. We were running late to go to POPO’s house as Boey’s family (so-called brother in law) were expected to be here at 10.00AM. As they arrived at 11.00AM, we missed out the ‘pertukaran ang pow and wishes’ session at POPO’s place. Ate loads of rendang, sambal udang and of cos my all-time favorite~ pineapple tarts…

8th Feb 2008 (Friday)
2nd say of new year..dead tiring. Met up with Ama and of cos relatives visiting non-stop.

9th Feb 2008 and 10th Feb 2008 (Saturday and Sunday)

Met up with Eng Kiat, Soo Fern, Chin Nie, Yann Shuang, Sim, Yvonne, Poh tee, Sy Yunn, Janice, Ya Pei, and others..it was really fun catching up. Time really passed by real fast..arrived home at 5.00am and got to postpone my journey back as I was tired.
Drove back to Kl at 12.30pm and got home at 3.30PM..yea, the traffic was really bad…

STOP AND STARE

2008-01-26T23:53:00.000+07:00

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

Hi Hairil and Mei and of course Puan Mohana, Thank you so much for assisting to organise this morning's event. It was so well done and lovely and you guys really exceeded our satisfaction !
Really appreciate it.
Warmest Regards and have a great weekend ahead.

-----Original Message-----

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...

2008-01-16T06:33:00.000+07:00

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

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!

I think I failed.

Yup I did. I've tried, yet I tumble and fell.

NUMB

2007-12-25T10:22:00.000+07:00

I felt numb today (Saturday_22nd Dec). My normal waking up hour will be 6.30am as usual although I’m back in hometown. Went back straight at 3.30pm on Wednesday (19th Dec) itself as to avoid jam at Seremban. Phewh! Managed to arrive Melaka by 5.00pm. Drove straight home and picked up my parents and my younger sis: Mei Ching to have family dinner at Windmill. They love the place, so ape lagi…bawa la. Right after dinner, brought them to have a stroll at shopping complex while me myself eyeing on the stuff that I wanna buy.

On Thursday itself (20th Dec), I just found out that Aaron and Choi eventually came back to Malaysia for their Christmas holiday. Get hold on them for nice Dim Sum at 8am and right after that went back to my sis place and bugged her as usual. Since I’m in the mood of shopping, I dragged my sis along to Dataran Pahlawan. Yup, I’m the one who was driving. Damn, why me? I hate driving…Shop for almost 3 hours and suddenly I realize I have to make a move to Ezuan’s place for Hari Raya Haji. Drop my sis and drove straight to Bukit Beruang again to fetch Soraya and off my way to Klebang. Thank you Ezuan’s mom for the SUPERB DELICIOUS ayam kurma and the kuah satay. Fuh, sedap giler! It was a great day catching up with Soraya and Ezuan.

It’s true…'All work and NO play makes Jack a DULL boy’

Right after Raya at Ezuan’s place, fetch Soraya home and speed my way to pick up Choi, Eng Onn, Aaron and Jun Kiong to Umbai, specifically Restoran Ikan Bakar Terapung. Sotong goreng was superb, cun la, satisfaction guarantee. Thank you guys for treating me! Right after the dinner, went all the way to pick up Fei Lee from work and the yum cha session begun at at nearby café. Drop all of them off safely…haha…lucky me, and arrive back home nearly 2.30am. Penat giler...

Friday (21st Dec) on the other hand was still a busy day for me, brought mummy and Mei Ching to Tesco to buy some groceries, drop by my previous office to hand Christmas token to Mr. Lim. Penat…yet at least this time around, I have some time for myself (watching TV), right after that drove my dad to my grandma’s place for a short visit. Spent some money in buying pastries and assorted breads for them and the first thing they asked was like ‘Eh, Mei…Ama’s house phone rosak la, can you fix it?’ I was like…*speechless*

My Saturday (22nd Dec) was a totally memorable one (most penat). Was supposed to be accompanied by Rajes yet he was occupied, so I drive my ‘HoneyBee’ to Peringgit and meet up with Boey to repair my car. Was with the foreman from 1-3.30pm and I was lucky enough cos Ezuan was at nearby area as I need to pass him the ‘Tong Yuen’. Phewh~settle. Since I have not taken my lunch, I called up Choi to teman me makan my all-time favourite~Nyonya Laksa at Jonker Walk. The jam was heavy and moving around by car is not easy. Went back home, clean up myself and off again I went out to meet up with Azizi. We chat and he’s really enjoying the work. Well done my friend. Introduce him to Ezuan cos both of them carried the same attitude towards life but most importantly, they entertain me. Is not an easy task to make me laugh~trust me.We’ve chat for hours and only now I realize how bless am I. Ish..Ish..Mei, smack your head and wake up!

Life is just life, is how you fill it up. Effort is what it takes and the rest…just enjoy it. It has been a superb busy weekends for me. My legs cramped at times, yet catching up with others rewards me emotionally. Monday has to come by and yup gotta step into reality once again.

Hugs and kisses@Mei

Mood Swings

2007-12-17T11:49:00.000+07:00

It has been an exhausted week for me. It’s really not easy to be a salesperson. I’m thankful cos Mr. Hairil is back from his holidays. Phewh~with a minimum knowledge of how getting things done over here eventually makes me survive for 5 days. I’ve bugged many people, to name a few Kak Naf, En. Aznor, Mohana, En. Mualaha and of cos my biggest savior of all Lichard (thx men).

From coordinating meeting till handling complaints (alamaaaak…what they meant huh), and even replying to email can be quite complicated at times. For instance, my Assistant General Manager (AGM), who is Mr. Liew mentioned about FINET and it took me like 10 minutes to ask around what is FINET.

For the last few days, my mood swings lots of time. I miss my friends; those that entertain me, Azizi….I need you to make me laugh. Uhuhuhuhu, he is really occupied with Battle of Bands (way the go!) and we hardly meet. He cheers me up just by looking at him and sometimes he reminds me of being ‘Mei Ying’. Whenever I have my second thoughts, he comes around and makes things clear for me...and he doesn’t really mind of my kicking habit. Yea men, I kick people who are close to me.

Last Friday, went back home early to help out my housemates for Christmas party. It was great. The food was marvelous; eventually Edina and Mitchell can be a great cook. Love the BBQ chicken!

My weekends were occupied with housework and cleaning up the apartment itself. I can’t tolerate with hairs on the floor…fuh, it was a tiring day for me. Laying back and watch ASTRO, is what I enjoy most and of cos rejuvenating myself. This time around, I just sat at home tho there’s many invites; Rajes and Jaya was in KL; Christmas Party at Jack’s place, Erik’s day out (guitar search), and etc. I was really exhausted and I don’t quite like driving…since the accident and my parking sucks giler (to the max), so yea…I just stay at home la.

Can’t wait for holidays to come. Planning to go back Melaka and treat my family a nice dinner…but most of all I just need a break and clear some stuff in my mind. Gotta go now, ciao~

Accountability or Responsibility

2007-12-12T07:14:00.000+07:00

Upcoming meetings, learning new procedures, getting my passwords verified, appointments with my dentist, getting the car fixed (now is my handbrake and some loose wires here and there), process my claims, paying up my bills (CELCOM_claim again), get ready to process incoming orders, verifying minutes of meeting…phewh~so many things to do. Yup, I’m listing few of the stuff that I urgently need to settle them asap.

Last week was quite hectic for me. At times, work can be…hmm ‘depressing’ and sometime, I enjoy it a lot (tho I hate IT stuff). Mr. Hairil is really nice to me, he has his points and oh yeah, he’s really good in strategizing sales target. Salute to you Sir. He taught me in a different way…he expose to real-life scenario rather than teaching me on how to use the system itself. Ape lagi, whenever I’m free, I bugged my other colleagues in teaching me how to use the CASS, CIS and etc. Enough bout work yea…

I met Shaz (not Syazrin,,,another Shaz) the other day, being nice as always, he introduced me to some of his friends. We catch up with one another and it’s a pleasure to meet all of you. Was supposed to attend the radiofest at One-U on Fri night, but sadly my gums are bleeding and I’m not in a good condition. I miss Dina…and Faraa, and Ollie and Shac and…arghh…All of them.

Had a great breakaway back in Melaka last week, yet I was superb busy as always due to catching up with friends and oh yea fixing my car. Thanks to Rajes and Jaya cos helping me to check the ENTIRE engine and insisted me to learn the ‘tukar tayar’ process. We’ll keep that some other time yea. Rajes, one of my ‘bestest’ hometown friend, I call him my husband...hehehehe. Anyway, thanks again dear. Was supposed to meet up with Evelynn, but was having dinner with Ezuan and Pinn, haizz..I’ll catch up with you some other time yea.

2nd December was my dad’s birthday as well, so I rushed to Jusco and bought a shirt for him. I’m not able to celebrate with him as I promised Mr. Lim (my previous boss) to attend some ‘Anugerah Pelancongan’ thingy. Sorry papa…Hopefully, my sis passed the gift to him on time. Happy bday Pa.
Went back from Melaka at 5.00am and headed straight to the office. Alhambudillah, I arrived safely in one piece.

I begin to cherish friendship a lot. Common, Mei, you got to be more sensitive towards other feelings. Sorry Aishah, don’t mean to hurt you in any ways gal. I’m bless as she confronted me and express her feelings…and we shared each other thoughts. I know that it takes her a lot of guts to tell me how she really feels. Its my bad of not being sensitive towards my surroundings. Sorry Aishah…The funny part is that we are allright now and she reminds me of someone. So yea…I shall cherish the friendship that we have…Syaz…Aishah and I. Thanks gals.

Gotta go now my dear blog…gotta give my ‘HoneyBee’ a cleanup, do my laundry and etc. I promise to visit you more often…

Some snapshots taken during TM family Day at Taman Desa and the appreciation dinner itself. Can't forget how actually I got lost to get to Istana Hotel. KL roads really driving me crazy at times.

What a job!

2007-12-01T06:27:00.000+07:00

Some of the pictures taken during the Majlis Anugerah Pelajar Cemerlang. Just wanna say, thank you TM for your generosity~Thank you...

Colleen and I (this lad is superb smart)

With Poh (the yellow guy just follows you everywhere huh, altho your in Celcom's territory)

Colleen, Ong and I (MMUians)

That's my boss: Mr. Yusman (Congrates Sir!)

Heyaa, it has been months since I've updated my blog huh.

Well, loadsssss of stuff going on. I start my new job now with Telekom Malaysia Berhad or commonly known as TM. It's currently my 3rd job in just 5 months. Do I like it? To be honest, I don''t really know what I feel now, it can be interesting at times yet, the work task is totally something that I don't quite get it. Blurr..that's the exact word.

I'm not a tech-savvy kinda person, even my sis will try to get my hands off any IT products cos eventually I will just make it worse, now you know what I meant. At times, I really feel good about doing my job, yet when I don't understand what those around me are talking, I just felt so dumb. Hate it...(feeling like a bimbo).

I miss being 'Mei', I want something that I can put all my heart OUT in initiating a concept, a programme, but most of all doing what I really like. Money and status is not that important to me, yet finding something emotionally rewarding to me is what matter the most. I won't grumble or whine due to the workloads (I've been trained years) or having a superb perfectionist boss. Been there..done that, sounds that I'm really demanding huh.

But anyway, I just got to wait and see what TM can offer (maybe I should put it in the other way round). I have faith in myself, I'll give my best shot, that's for sure.

2007-11-30T06:20:00.000+07:00

Pictures during my internship at Xfresh*sighed, I miss 'the non-stop call' from Dina, and she will goes like 'Mei...did you, yada ya da yada'. At times, Orange and I just let the phone rung a few times before we picked them up and we ALWAYS leave our mobile phones in the office ~~so that she couldn't get to us~~. Ooops, who can blame us if we are that forgetful...sorry Dina.

Anyway, I learn A LOT from her. She's a lady with her own piece of mind yet she puts a lot of effort in her work~yup she's a perfectionist, setting her own benchmark in her task yet being extremely consistent is one of the reason I respect her. She's only 23. I do not have her picture cos ALL OF THEM was kept in my landlord's com and eventually it's crashed down. Now I'm really sad...I have to search for links that have pictures of my internship~ouchh

I miss Raja Faraa as well, this lady never fail to 'CHEER' up my day, she is just so sweet. Tho I only know her for 3 months but this lad has a 'pure heart', she don't fake in front of you and her smile is just so 'soothing'. Hehehe, thx gal for the 'karipaps', 'mc-d treat', 'tea-break', and etc.

Oh ya, I miss Tjin as well. This lady work like there's no tomorrow. She's always 'fast' even when she's talking to others. Dina and her have one thing in common~obsess of their job. They have 'commercialize voice'. You can hear her voice most of the time in radio ads~HELP radio ads is one of it, AMBI-PUR as well (Dina and Tjin).

Welcome to Xfresh~busy day, That's Burn (left). I was MC on that day, Orange took my workspace, Aaron Pinto ~BIG BOSS of Xfresh (on the right corner) and there's JFK beside Aaron. ADI tengah tido...

Much clearer picture of Xfresh office=Fishtank, that's Ollie (Xfresh Street Surfers~he's the head of the team). Cool guy~genteleman jugak la. Loads of promo was recorded by him.

Every Tuesday or Wednesday will be my usual visit to 'delivery room' to mail all the parcels contains prizes and etc. At times, I hang out at the delievry room to have a chat with the 'uncles' over there. My usual path ~whereby there are several recording studio along the walkway. Shhh...be quiet

That's Mr. Gerard, but we call him 'G', he's the person-in-charge for Xfresh's promo (for ex: voice recoding, ads, and etc). Oh yeah, did some voice promo as well. At times, it took ~~several takes~~ as pronounciation was not clear and G will goes 'Hmm..cuba kuatkan, buat macam ni...ahak'. It was fun. Thx to Adi cos he taught me how to 'say it right'. Xfresh FM, Lain Beb!!!, Most common phrase will be 'Layarilah www.xfresh.com sekarang!'

There's too much to write on my intership~At times, it can be so tense up with proposals, live liners, other events promo, happening in just 1 week commencing and at times, I can be so free with nothing to do.

Oh next picture, was taken with Shaz and 'Boog' the Bear (Open Season). It's so heavy till I requested Shaz to bring it down for me. Btw, the bear ~~has slept with someone else~~..Oh no, ~~it's not virgin anymore~~. Alberto, how could you do that? Wahahaha...

My training requires me to go for premier screening, press screening, outdoor events and many more. Usually Dina will asked us to distribute movie tickets and allocate the seats if they are not 'free seating'

Cicak Man Premier Screening

The Covenat~Premier Screening

Orange and I

Happy Feet~Premier Screening

Rebecca and I

I had the chance to be with the on-ground crew=Xfresh Street Surfers to the launching of 'TM Syoknya Bersama Bola'. It was great, the crew definitely good in their job, they cheer up the crowd, play some games and etc. Thx Dina.

Same place yet different attire. Official yellow T-shirt for on-ground team. Setting up banners..hard work, yet it was fun

Tagged along with Shaz (thx for the invites yea) to other events: Bernard Chandran's Fashion Show

This is the best~Food review, 'free food la'. Bill came up to RM 700+, and eventually Shaz were in charge of doing the food-review and did some kinda contest on 'Marche' and we got it FREE. Tenkiu laa banyak2.

MARCHE

All said and done...definitely shall cheerish every moment of it. Thx to those who made my internship period a memorable one.

After a while

2007-10-15T11:55:00.000+07:00

I’m back in Melaka for Raya holidays.

Life has been quite, hmmm...`fishy` at the moment. I’m doing my training at the network exchange in Cyberjaya last week and now I’ve got to go to Putrajaya for my very last training. Eventually my training at Cyberjaya was great as Mr. Hasanul, who was my supervisor has been a supportive and sporting kinda superior. Thanks to him, we were able to follow Mr. Nizam and Mr. Uzairi who are TM’s technicians to go to exchange locations and our clients. Fuh, it was a great experience actually. Nonetheless, my training wouldn’t be exciting if not for Ms. Aishah who’s always with her non-stop chatting. You know what gal, you definitely entertain me. Thanks gal.

Some of the stuffs that we did...

Tho, I stay in PJ, yet the training was located way...way further than I expected. I bet there was some uncoordinated stuff going on, but as for me, it’ll be a hassle to `discuss` with them. Sometimes, I just wonder whether the TM’s motto ‘Delivering the promise’ eventually is OUR core value. So, I packed my luggage and drove all the way to Cyberjaya and met up with Jameel. I’ve stayed in J’s place for 4 days and next week I’ll be staying with Calista (thanks gal, appreciate it).

Oh yeah! My sis is back from Germany. I’m really glad to meet her up. She’s still the same, crappy as ever but she weighted more this time (her tummy to be precise), wahahaha. She bought me Coca Cola’s bottle (I’ve requested from her ) but without the content, of course. Uhuhuhuhu, how could she? But anyway, she knows that I’m obsessed of perfume, and....she bought me one! Whoohooooo!!! Hey, I deserve it cos my birthday is coming...plus I’m being a good girl for all this while. I guess so...

I love going back to Melaka, at times I need to settle few stuffs and of course being a chauffer to my mom and my younger sis. I visited Mr. Lim and MTPN’s staffs last Friday and handed my ex-boss a bottle of peanut cookies. Damn, the cookies are great...oooohh, now I’m craving for it. Had some catch-up gathering with my gals, grandma, and of course some gossip sessions with my beloved sistas.

Can’t wait for November to come by. I’m excited to step in my new job. Of course, working with a lady boss will be much harder, but it’s ok. I can handle it. No hal la~

Till then. Tata for now.

Regards:
Mei

All over again..and again..and again..

2007-10-08T17:12:00.000+07:00

All starts with its beginning, but the first million is the toughest...

How true is the phrase above?

I guess, is how you actually view it. As for me, the phrase itself taught me a lot.

These 3 months has been a great journey to me, all the good stuffs just keep on coming. And you know what...I finally stepped out from the government sector~ YAAAAHOOOOOO! *clap clap clap, shout my heart out! ~~Phewh~~~ sighed~

Allrite...you must be wondering what I’ve been doing after my graduation. So here goes...

*breathe in*

I handle US Pizza for 2 weeks, and then after that I was working for MTPN Melaka (Ministry of Tourism) as a Manager for Services and Facilities. On my first day itself, I was offered as an assistant manager position in MMU (thx Nizam on that), but since I have chosen to work with MTPN, I got to decline Nizam’s offer.

I worked happily in this industry till I’ve got called up by Telekom Malaysia ™. The best part of all, once I’ve ended TM call, I got a call from P&G as they offered me as the Customer Development Executive. I went like ‘Whoaaaaaa’ it’s P&G, definitely the place that I want it to be.

*breathe out*

Like it or not, I’ve only one choice to choose from. Yup, TM...honestly, it’s not that bad after all. So I handed in my resignation and last Friday was my very last day there at MTPN. I’m missing it already...Since this post is specially dedicated to them, let’s talk more bout the MTPN’s crews...

Puan Ruaida~
I could still remember the very first day when I met you. You’re so kind to open the door for me and not to mention you have such a GORGEOUS SMILE as well. Thank you for your patience in guiding me. If not because of you, I might still be in US Pizza, doing my daily routines which I enjoy it too. I love all my jobs!

Puan Siti~
Did anyone tell you before that you have a great voice tone? It sounds really sharp in pronunciation, just like a commander. It’s a compliment, not many people have it...only those with great leadership ability own it. What I’m trying to say is that, you’re a great leader...
(I know when I see one cos I’m pretty observant). I’ll miss you!

Kak Siti~
You’re definitely the best person to chill with. Such an outgoing person with great personality. Thank you for fetching Soraya and I to the Majlis Berbuka Puasa ya. Stay cheerful as always.

*Hugs and loads of kisses*

Abang Man~
Teman lelakiku yang sejati dan teman untuk berpoya-poya. Gurau je, jangan marah. I akan ingat masa kita kat KL, Muahahaha, best la, Abang Man. Lain kali, kali, I belanja Abang Man makanan yang best-best kat KL. Kalo gie KL, jangan lupa call I ye...’kita date?’. This is my number: 016-6253653/ 013-2381710 (Muahahahahaa)

Faezah~
Senyap saje...tapi diam-diam ubi berisi. Youlah paling rajin sekali dan paling bersopan-santun. I love your perfume gal. It smells really good...

Kalsom~
She’s the PA. She's really nice to everyone especially when dealing with people. If you like my style, I LOVE your laughter. So laugh more yea. She’s the fairest among them....Thank you Cik Kalsom sebab ajarkan I banyak benda terutama sekali nama-nama timbangan pangkat di sektor kerajaan yang memeningkan kepala saya sehingga kini. ~~It's really hard tho...~~

Adri~
Pull it off! Show what’ve got. You’ll definitely go far if you just put a little bit 'extra' in your work. Looking forward to see you climbing the corporate ladder soon enough.

Ain~
Ermm, two words, ‘sweet girl’. Mei harap Ain akan dapat apa yang Ain hajatkan. You have so much potential in you, all you need to do is be more outspoken and be bold.

Mazleen~
A lady (yup...a lady) whom I personally think a great listener and owns a superb neat and tidy office. Her stuffs are all placed nicely in one corner and every morning, without delay she starts her work immediately. Have some time for yourself. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy...I’ve got to drag you to berpoya-poya with me next time around.

Mr. Lim~
Thanks a bunch for your guidance and your thoughts for all this while. Although, it was only for a short duration (2 months to be exact), I did enjoyed every single bit of my work. Honestly, I NEVER had a BAD MOMENT in MTPN Melaka, tho you had ‘tegur’ me at times.

*let me put in this way*

I kinda have this imaginary switch ~~‘ON/OFF’~~ button in my head which makes me blurrr when I want to. Whenever you see me bloating up my faces...I was dreaming of something else while jotting down your inputs.

My previous boss taught me, she says that only creative people are able to that. I guess that’s true...

You’re definitely a GREAT boss to me, but what amazed me the most is your attitude and perceptions towards life. Your boldness has gained you an outstanding recognition from others which makes you to be more perfectionists and setting up high expectations on your staffs. Keep up that spirit of yours Sir.

Last but not least, do please forgive me if I had uttered any words that hurt your feelings. Don’t mean it. I can’t be able to thank you guys enough.

Before I end, I would like to share one phrase that I strongly hold till today...

You can cry because of....
the death of your loved ones...war...tragedy...disaster...Tsunami...break ups, and yada..yada..yada...,

BUT you DON’t CRY because of WORK and MONEY, cos you can FIX them...

Warmest Regards:Mei

Phewh~So much to bear...

2007-07-04T09:48:00.000+07:00

Woohooo! I'm back, safe and sound. There' so many things happening in this few months. Last months just came back from TM's camp, thank god Ezy told me bout that, if not I might miss it again.

Camp was FUN, but not the 'lecture' part. It was dreadful. The speaker told us loaaaads of grandma's stories. Argh..I don't wanna recall them. But what makes me love about the camp was the finale of the day. I'm more into activities kinda person and yup....I make some new friends. Cool la.

After TM camp was World Assembly of Youth (WAY) conference in Melaka. As usual, I drag Soraya and Sal (was supposed to be Azizi, but I guess he got some stuffs to do). This time around, I met so many familiar faces...whoaa, many of them from MMU as volunteers: so am I.

Well, the event was allright...not great but just OK. The waiting is what I hate the MOST. Soraya, Sal and I were in-charged of tour around Melaka, photocopying and handling speakers' request. Phewh~loads of work but FUN.

I was then told by Andre to be the MC for gala dinner. Luckily Syalmala did the formal part and I took the informal ones which is my specialty. Met Kaduk there, as he was in charge of his band~THE SOUL...glad to work with him again. THUMBS up my fren. Sam was the lead singer...whoaa..he can really sings. I have been friends with them for almost 2 years and hardly I see them performing.

Ok, let'us talk about career. Still waiting for TM to call me up...I have great job offers, to name a few I rejected and withdrawn from BAT, PnG, MAERSK Genting Resort, and even 'Timbalan Pengetua Tadika Quedees'. Being in my position right now, isn't that great after all. Of cos I would LOVE to cancel the contract yet without TM, I wouldn'tbe able to come this far. Thank you TM..seriously...It's allright I guess, the good things will come later then.

I'm still jobless, was supposed to be 'guru tadika' yesterday, yet as it requires a 5 years contract, I just got to turn them down. My last resort: Pizza girl again or being promoter (wohoooo!!!)

Upcoming events:
Exchange program
Convocation
Holiday!

Till then: Mei

You've raised me up...to be more than I can be....

2007-05-24T14:27:00.000+07:00

~The man who moulds me to be myself, nurture me well enough to realise what is wrong and what is right. The man who tells me to work hard for what I want...'Pa' I've seen your passion in things that you've done. Salute to you~

To my 'mummmy' Happy Birthday Mie'. I have your gorgeous 'smiles' and I'm proud of that. Thank you. It's now my turn to repay you guys back.

To my sis who always stand beside me during my ups and downs. The only person who actually 'shouts back' at me, *ouch*. Hate to admit this, but she's always right. My so called '2nd bank negara' and definitely a GREAT shopping companion. Trust me on this one...at times I wonder how come I spend so much more than her yet my stuffs are just 20% of hers. Geeeee...

My youngest sis~allright..allright..I know EXACTLY what you want. $$$. To be honest, I'm proud of her, tho she do not really excel in her academics, yet she has HUGE potential in herself (duhh....she's been bragging bout her junior prefect status till now). I can't promise you..but I try ok?

In memory of my beloved uncle who took care of me during my childhood. I owe you so much....

My 'Ama'...

My 'Popo'

And lastly...I LOVE MYSELF!!! I'm PROUD of myself, and I always will...

2007-05-17T20:15:00.000+07:00

And here am I blogging during my finals.
This will be my LAST time to sit for exams. I'm pretty anxious to wrap things up, yet at times, I feel doubtful with my futures. I can feel my energy level will goes down in months to come, cos I'll be DROP DEAD TIRED to plan everthing and having to do them all by myself. From searching my career, seeking renting house/rooms, till mastering KL public transport in the shortest time possible. Can I?

I know this will be tough, but I really want this. For others, they will be getting back their comfort-zone and as for me I need to starts everything once more.
First thing first, I've got to secure a good job, then only plans out how on earth am I going to shift all my stuff to KL. I can't depend on my parents, they have enough worries for now. All I have are few of my friends and cousins there.

I'm going to work it out...somehow. I'm still smiling :-)

There are 4 interviews that I need to attend and the 'best' part of all, each interview consists of at least 3 stages. I've got to travel back and forth for it. And if I really got a job, I need to have at least RM 2500 start up cost...yup...paying the rent deposit till transportation costs. Really hope I got a good job with a good paid.

It's all in the name of 'luck'.

Wish me luck.

Best Regards:

Mei

Groovy

2007-03-21T22:34:00.000+07:00

One more addition to my assignment this sem (my final sem). Since I took the Marketing and IT subject, we ought to do some kinda online-selling. And there you go, I'm placed in 'GrooVy's group. So far, I guess the members are allrite yet our leader none other than~Ms Yummi, she puts loads of effort...yup, that particular banner is designed by her. Way the go gal. Had our domain name: http://mmumit.net and also each one of us got to create our very own blog~http://mmumit.net/blog/meiying. Now that's mine...

What are we selling? All kinds of things...personally, I'm selling....
1. TV~16"
2. Yamaha Guitar~I only play it 'tiga kali' only~superb new, in a guitar case, and NOT even a scratch~I'll will sell it RM 150...hey ori price is (RM 220)
3. Clothes...(loads of it...Ning Xin gave some to me to sell, my sis's clothes...make up sets...and loads more)
4. Exercise machine (which I bought from smartshop, it costs me around RM 399), But I think I'm selling around RM 100, don't use it anymore cos this sem is killing me~superb busy...

Did my presentation..hmm, how do I rate it~not up to my expectation (for myself), the other group members, they definitely did a great job. IT's ok, I'll take things slow.

I need to learn to CRAP..so here goes...

2007-03-11T10:07:00.000+07:00

1. Thinking of:

* My assignment(S), presentation(S)

2. Missing:

* My all time IKEA's karipap and Seremban's SIEW PAO (usually I just got to make a pit-stop at Seremban town just to buy them)

* I miss DINA and FARAA (I miss Dina's early morning frown..and Faraa's kepppooooo act~she's SO CUTE when she goes 'Hey..korang tau tak..yang..')

* I miss my training (believe it~I miss the crazy datelines, superb job scope, great colleagues...awww)

3. Worried:

* Loadsss of stuff going in my mind (seriously)

Tho I look so 'chill' on the outside... # too many things to list down

4. Really into:

* Obssessed of drama series (english), crap, why NOW?

* America's Next Top Model

5. Important to me:

* Get on my feet back (WAKE UP MEI!)

* Getting things done

* Be straight forward

* No more Ms. Nice lady

* Getting someone to edit the coding of my 'another blog'~its' for Marketing and IT subject

(I will pay...PM me if interested..only one time editing)

6. Hate:

* My hair (I need to cut shorter)

7. Intend to:

* Going to Times Square and SHOUT my heart OUT during the Rollercoaster ride! I need a break

* Enrolling in Communication Course

* Meeting up with all my lecturers (I have no idea why...I just like to talk to them)

* Fly to another place

* Pretend I lost my memory (how's that?)

* Skip all my classes

* Take loads of photos (it's my final sem...2 more months and I'm DONE~VANITO BABY)

* I need to have my cam cable..long story...

8. Will:

* Go home more often

* Eat less (*stop munching)

* Pampered myself

* Be organized

* Stop hating 'her'...I LOVE HER (ewww)

9. Promise:

* Graduate dude with .....?....honors

10. Wish:

* I really...really...really wish to have this kinda room with beach view.

When I look up, the ceiling is a wide strecth of BLUE SKY and during at night, tho it' ll be dark yet the moonlight burst still shines in my room

Place my workspace area directly facing the beach alongside with the cool breeze that makes my day

Sipping my all time fav coffee~just me~before I start my day

(I just need a room, I don't need the whole house..see I'm not that greedy after all~I'll get one day~)

Its' already the 5th week since sem started, yet I still don't have the 'momentum' yet. Industrial training for 3 months indirectly has changed me a lot. I'm not that oustpoken anymore, I prefer to listen and observe...hmm..is it good? I have no idea. I don't focus on simple thingy anymore instead I just wanna get it done. I think even lecturers notice on that... I'm a back bencher as usual but that doesn't mean I'm not bright enough. (I take more time to put my words into a sentence~damn)

Well, even now I have to sleep with music on..I just feel 'serene' and I need that.

Hope everything works out for me. Pull it off Mei!

Get back on my feet again

2007-03-04T12:01:00.000+07:00

CNY just over, can't upload all those pictures...(I lost my cam cable~screw me). Overall, CNY this yr didn't lift up my spirit. I just feel obligated. Yet, it was fun due to friends visiting n etc. Thx to Jarryd, Fei Lee, Eng Onn, and my beloved friend Azizi Bin Ramdan.

Had my CNY open house on the 2nd Mac (Sat), just close frenz turned up. Thx to Hafizi, Joe, Noh and Eric for coming yea. Drove all the way from KL, Thx guys!

Assignments and presentations are yet to come, I ALWAYS have butterflies in my stomache whenever I need to present or even hosting. It doesn't matter on how big is the event, it just the adrenaline rush that makes me giving my best..hehe, now u know. Last week was sucky for me, it's allright~no worries..if things get out of hand, then I'll talk to Ms. Lim. I don't like when someone 'memperlekehkan' my 'kebolehan'. Sorry guys, I just can't find the right words. There's tonnes of work awaits me next week.

Got a new job for Vista's launching in campus~phewh. Gotta thanx Azeem for that. There's an audition in searching for MMU's Vista girl~kinda like an ambassador for the product. good huh, so hurry people, get application forms from buletin board. Me? Nope, I'll pass on this.

Life so far being fair to me, hmm..classes, assignments, presentations (hate it), yum cha sessions, emo frenz, happy frenz~it just in the circles you know...I'm just sad, really sad cos I can't able to present like I used too. What's wrong with me? That's why I don't present lately..I just pass to others.

Aliyos for now~

2007-02-11T07:33:00.000+07:00

Back from Thailand, just got back from The Thai 2007 Thai-Malaysia-Korea Youth Exchange Programme, phewh..it was way tiring yet I had so much fun there, not too mention I tagged along 2 great companions with me, ORANGE and ETHAN. U guys have been great frenz laa, we ate sooooooo MUCH, my god.

There's so much things to pen down, but I guess what is most important to me is that, I managed to get to know other frenz. It's a nice feeling when you found new frenz and 'poof' you actually become best frenz.

It's all started when the 'Secret Buddy' game is played. Everyone is supposed to pick a name and no one supposed to reveal it. We then have to take care of the person we picked during the whole entire program without telling him or her you are his/her secret buddy. Seems familiar..just like Secret Santa yet it's much more thrilling as we just got to take care of our buddies in terms of giving her stuffs or present a good gesture to him/her without telling them every day... So yeah, as for me, snacks and goodies are definitely a good choice. I got to take care one Korean girl: Kim Sun Ji, and of cos at the same time, someone is taking care of me. What I bought for Sun Ji is loads of snacks, from chocolates to cakes to sweets and etc. The last day I gave her my 'Indian bangles' that I kept by my side for quite some time. Yeah, I cheerish it.

The best part is that the person who take care of me..ahak..is a KOREAN as well and her name is Kim Su Young, a beautiful lady and she's younger than me 1 year. It's kinda like a destiny how we met each other. When we gotta cross the river of Chao Phraya, she was kinda sea-sick and I took care of her without knowing that she's my buddy...so yeah that's how I got to know her. Ahak, there is no harm to treat stranger the same like you treat your frenz as everyone is the same.

"The most universal language in this word is thru someone's actions"

Su Young gave me loads of snacks and goodies as well, I like her colourful notes as well...so sweet of her to do that..arhhhhh.. Ohh and the 'cute sheep soft toy', THANK U! I LOVE IT! I really do. We talked over things and hey we have the same frequency. Frenz forevea~

Back to my companions from M'sia. Definitely the best M'isan group so far. We came in different races yet we bond so well. Well done guys. Everyone has their personality and that what makes us kinda shine escpecially the dancing part. I shall keep it PNC. Hafizi=Mr. running hamster and mangaaa..mangaa..mangaa..mangaa......Firdaus=Mr. Momojojo...ahak, Mr. Hamiruddin=National Leader (SIr..pls don't eat so much yea), Mr. Noh (diam-diam ubi berisi), Adrienne, Foong, Ramesh, Guna, MK, Sree, Kavitha, AB, Suthiyaa (superb funny guy...love his jokes and his monkey laughter), Ethan, Orange and me..myself. The performance was prepared last minute (let me see a day before and yea..we did great..I guess the 'Malaysian Style' always with us huh.

We spent 4 days in Bangkok, went to Khao San Road, Grand Palace, Marble Temple, night market with loads loads of FOOD. Did I tell u guys I gained 2 kg dee? Dammit Gotta losse it before CNY? Stayed in Youth Hostel which is our organisation. The place is kinda cozy and I like the cafe, the friendly service and yea...GOOD FOOD! Then we spent the other 3 days at Khao Yai National Park, 3 hours journey from Bangkok, again we stayed in Youth Hostel. Whoaaa.this place is much bigger and it's like a hotel, with snooker table..TV and lots more. I miss that place. Went to CockChai Farm, Vineyard, and did some charity work with the students from the rural areas. Teach the students there English, cook for them, play some games which most of them, I don't get it (hey is in Thai maa), all countries have to intro their culture and etc to the students there. Since they are young and most of them do not understand English, so we used simple English and some body language. For me, I tried to be as simplest as possible by just mentioning keywords instead of sentences. Hope it helps...:-)

Of cos throughout the whole program there must be some bad moments, it's kinda normal, but in the end things will work out, ....as long as maturity takes the leads. I had fun with Orange and yeah..we did quarrel again..hey..now that's frenz ma. We became closer, at times, she irritates me yet at the same time I'm sure I hurt her as well. Hey it takes two to tango. It's allrite, we are old enough to solve our own, luckily both of us kinda 'cincai' type. I like that..heheh, honestly without her prescense..the pgoram won't be fun, as usual we shared the same room again and again...Thank you gal for joining this program, glad to drag you along!

The Thai crews are so nice. My sincere gratitude to the CHEF, this lady always cook SUPERB DELICIOUS FOOD, and she always adds extra spicy for me..thank you! Thank you for accompany me n Orange to shop but most of all treating us 'Kiaw mee' plus the superb 'teh-tarik' whoaa..it tastes sooooooo good.

Aching, my whole body is aching~not enough sleep la. To be honest, I still have not recover from Bali Trip or the cleaning up session. Thank god, the house is clean now..phewh...THX TO MY SISTA

Imagine, I stayed all by myself in the house for 1 month. It's nice when there's no 'bulu-bulu' thingy crawling on the floor. Everyday I just got to have my 'spray exercise at the exact time-7.00a.m. And now, the house is clean and tidy~wahahahhaha

Hmm..let me c, my beloved cuz was back in Melaka for few days, as usual hanging out is a must. Jarryd, thank you for teaching me 'bridge' yea. No worries, bout the 'treat', it's my pleasure..the more you give, the more you'll get back. I'm still blur, yup..but hey at last I can play it, tho I play based solely on luck.Thx to Eng Kiat for his 'patience'~hey who can blame me if I'm that blurr? Weekend was great, since new sem starts today, looking forward to meet up with my friends. Hmm..'fun' awaits me...wooohoooo! yeah babeh yeah...

That goes my weekend. It was supposed to be my 'packing session' and now I'm kinda 'kelam kabut' rearranging my stuff. I do have list yet I have not even start. Dammit...from taking the huge luggage, exchanging currency, print out name cards, getting my traditional clothes,booking my ticktes to KL, confirmation from YHA, toiletries,local souvenirs,arghhhh...
I'm not the typed of last minute when it comes to packing cso I seriously need T.I.M.E.

That's all folk. Gotta continue what I'm doing~hate it...can I fly now?

That's it~

I've got my computer back...the old one cannot be used already. Sad huh? But it's ok, luckily bought another computer few months back. Now I've got Dell~wohho..yeah babeh yeah!

Just to summarize,
Photos are uploaded accordingly,from DOWN to UP
Bali trip was merely for 4 days 3 nights..ohh I miss Bali now.

The last picture is my favourite. Thx to Ken and Orange cos you guys have been a great companion. We are grateful to have Ken as our 'currency converter' as he works as an accountant, plus since he owns 3 credit cards~phewh..thank God for that. Hahahah

Dinner during the sunset was superb plus the food was excellent. Love it. The spa, creambath, massage were great as well, tho I kinda 'geli' whenever they try to suqeeze my leg...hello..

Next stop...??Hmmm..? Spain? Yea..rite, I'll keep that for my honeymoon time.
