What are the differences?

I never expect to have 'close shop' meal from my department. However, my boss able to get one for our own division, a table for 8 person. We went Restaurant Chui Heng to have dim sum and 'yee sang' .

This is not the main point of my title mentioned. After we had our lunch, we were asking for dessert, as per conversation below: (funny part please refer to chinese characters) from my AD.

"今日有么耶甜品啊?"
What do you have for desserts today?

"西米露,雪蛤膏,红豆沙,。。。。。。。。"
Sago, hasma, red bean etc

"红豆沙好热吗?我赶时间."
is the red bean soup hot? coz im short of time.

"是,热的。"
ya, its hot.

"好鬼热的?"
izit damn hot?

"............"
speechless

Point: What is the difference between "好热", and "好鬼热" which the waitress really dunno how to answer my AD.

Direct Reports Away Day

Last week i break my own record for working till late night. Previous record was just 9.30pm. This night, i left office at around 10.45pm, because of the preparation of Direct Report Meeting away day the next day. I have to assist my boss to get the slides done and the printouts.

This was my first time to attend such a big meeting event at somewhere out of the office. The venue for this away day was in Mandarin Oriental Hotel. In fact, i have least important character that day, and just my boss want me to tag along to get more intact with the business.

I was afraid to attend such an event initially since my english is not so good and i might not have enough background as well. In addition, i dunno most of them. This was how my boss reply me and made me speechless.

"You know Mahathir?"

"ya."

"but Mahathir wont know you.so who do u think between u and Mahathir will be in higher rank?"

*speechless*

"so in fact u r higher rank than all those direct reports and hence you should attend."

Im back

Finally, im back to this virtual world which i had long lost from it due to technical difficulties of the internet access. From my last msn display message, my last online was 31 Dec 2008. In which, i cannot online since last year. Fuck man!!

I keep on searching around to find the best internet service provider which can cater my needs at an affordable range. Again and again, comparing prices and so on, at my very first thought, i opted Izzi.

I discussed this with my boss on this topic since i cant work from home and i cant send him email. After a short round of discussion, i changed my mind to support Celcom 3G. My housemate told me that one of our friend is working for Celcom and he would able to give us a discount if we subscribe from him. So again, i wait for another few days as he work in Menara Celcom and we wont able to reach him. We set an appointment on Saturday.

I search in the internet and some of the brochures regarding this broadband service and i really attracted by their advertisement and their services. Finally, i went to Low yatt to enquire face to face about the details and payments which eventually i find out that there are many surcharges. Fuck!!

Few hours in low yatt, bump around in every outlet, i was forced to back to my initial option which what im using now - Izzi!! Haiz.

Total initial loss plus high set up cost = RM 979 shared by two!!! (luckily currently izzi having a promotion period and free 2 months subscription to me, an OX year born baby..@@@)
