Special Occasion

At this point of time, I recalled a song from Fish Leong - 分手快乐. There is one part of the lyric as below:

"其实爱对了人,情人节每天都过。。。“
(If you love the right person, everyday is valentine day)

This actually says the right thing. I would just wonder why the couple won't understand this 'philosophy'. Perhaps it is a break up song, those in sweet sweet life won't love this kind of song.

This not only applies to valentine day. For others like Christmas or any other festive seasons, why can't the couple just treat as a normal day? Why must they go out to spend alot of money?

On the other hand, those who are still in single status, to be threw with some pathetic eye sight. In fact, I feel so peaceful in these two days staying at home without joining the crowd out there. They feel that I'm so lonely which I do not feel the same. Funny........

I believe that most of the girls who has a boyfriend would expect something from them, but why? Anybody can tell me why?

Peace...............................

Job Street

Due to some unpleasant experience in my team now, I do have the intention of changing my job. Before this, I like the culture of my team and of my company, however the culture seems like changing subsequent to the change of the top management team.

I do not actively search within the local industry as I do not want to start all over again in similar industry. Although through jumping ship, I will only get higher pay and wider experience. However, my current role offers me high exposure to the EXCO team and also my huge human network here.

I just give myself the opportunity of working overseas, or I should say it in this way. I have narrowed down my path only to overseas.

Now, what is the problem?

There is a field for us to select expertise. I hardly find one of them to fit my experience. If relating to finance, all is about corporate finance, M&A which I do not have. If relating to investment, I'm even worse, coz it will come together with banking.

What else fitted? Business Analyst? Haiz.. be it.. Perhaps I'm not that lucky enough to get head hunted.

Interpersonal Skills

Recently I was offered with a regional deal which is of the same team. Well, from the intonation of this starting, I guess most of you know what is the outcome for this.

I did went for an interview for the said offer, however, I failed to secure the position due to my title. 3 interviewers (3 of them also Directors), have the same feedback on me which is lack of communication skills. I was actually competing with another colleague and he is so fortunate to be selected as the candidate.

I do admit that my colleague have an extraordinary communication skills. Even though he has less experience in my team, but he is able to provide suggestions and ideas without solid ground. Given this, he has the win point.

Actually, I'm ok with anyone who are able to get this offer, except him, I really feel imbalance. All the while, I'm the one who do all the ground work to support him. Just because of he has less experience, I have pass all new initiatives projects to him as he can start fresh and from my end, I will just support him because I'm familiar with the reports. With this opportunity he is able to demonstrate himself to external parties.

He always complain that the modeling work is difficult, he is busy, he is tied down, he is assigned with alot of works etc. However, he has the luxurious of time to go smoking, to go chit-chatting, to go home earlier than me!!!

It makes me feel that no matter how strong of my technical knowledge, I won't be able to move up. Lesson learnt - leaders need not to know everything, but to speak and social. The ability to think is damn important.

The complication to this is, I have to absorb all of his work as PD business partner. With the current workload, I already OT for 80% of my working days. I raised this concern to my superior and the respond from her was to ask me re-align the job scope myself. What a pretty answer!!! I can't imagine my life in the coming few months.

Sigh!!

Shape Run 2010

Ehm.. since when was my last public run? It was probably during my Form 3/4 time which was about 9 or 10 years ago. My body weight has been increasing since my form 5 about 48kg to the existing 78kg. What a huge increase. Haiz!

Before this, I have taken a Fitness test, it mentioned that the total weight I have to lose is 8.9kg. Good point to it is, I have all the 'fat' to convert into muscle. I just need to work out more often to have a nice body shape with balance weight.

In line with this, I have participated into the Shape Run 2010 (Fun Run category - 5km). The key motivator for me joining this was the goodie bag. Paying RM30, I can get back items worth RM300. Haha.

I trust for me being in these pictures would be miracle to someone. Don't worry, I will make this more often or at least committed to once a year.. =)

Cheapskate Celcom!!!

During the previous pikom pc fair, my colleague had subscribe to Celcom broadband. In order to close sales, they offered you with lots of freebies, promising you this and that just to convince you to subscribe.

She paid RM98 for the installation fees plus one month subscription fee of RM98 (if I recalled correctly). They promised us that if we were to terminate the contract, we just need to return the modem (in the event of termination occurs within the first year).

She decided to terminate the service and holding the usb modem stick, she went to Celcom HQ.

The thing that I wanna highlight here was, celcom refused to terminate the contract due to we did not bring along with the box. I questioned her that what was in the box that you must need it for termination?

The answer given was really a surprising one. She told me that she need to get all the freebies back before she can do so. I was wondering, the freebies in the box was just a stress ball, a damn ugle USB and warranty card. What the hell is that important to get all these back?

I think she was intended to 'recycle' all the freebies to the next customer. In addition, her attitude when answering my questions was damn fucking annoying. What the hell is the customer service attitude?

If I were the victim, definitely I will lodge a complain to Celcom already. However, my colleague said that, we should not help them to improve. Since we are not going to continue the service with Celcom, just let them be and let them to be dislodged by their competitors.

Cheapskate Celcom!!!!

Iconic Wall Torn Down

Until now, I still can't figure out why is it so attractive to have whole bunch of people standing at the roadside just to watch this historical moment. It is just a wall so?

This fucking event had cause traffic jam near the Pudu area, the t-junction nearby Time Square. I waited for 3 traffic lights before i can cross the junction. Can you imagine that a traffic light can just allow one car to pass through? And its like driving zig zag to cross. What the hell!!!

If you want to tear down the wall, just do it silently at midnight.. WTF!!!

Partial Singaporean

Recently, I found out myself had gradually transformed into a Singaporean. Why would I say so? What are the most general things that the public will frame on Singaporeans? Kiasi, Kiasu, Complain Complain..

Kiasi and Kiasu should be the nature of every human being. However, when it comes to complain, most of the Malaysian will just keep quiet and just let it be. In such a case how can Malaysia has the improvement? I would agree that to certain extent, complaints do work to improve a service, a product or whatever related.

In just half a year, I have formally lodged 3 complaints to 3 different organizations. The first one was to SCB where the solution provided was to reverse all interest incurred. The second was to KTMB and after few emails ding dong ding dong, they agreed to pay ticket refund while there will be disciplinary actions taken towards the officer in charge who dealt directly with me.

Now the third one was to DHL for their poor delivery services and also again re their professionalism. Hopefully I will get a satisfactory reply from them.

Somehow I need to position myself as such a noble person to improve Malaysia. Wakaka!!!
