And here I take off once again...through the vast lands of asia...
This time is a way back to the Empire hotel where one of the best rooms are found...
Trust me....it's world class. But the room is way too big for just one person...
hit there for a day just to be back in Singapore for an event and just leaving tomorrow morning at 6.15am
to Port Klang.

On a mission...
what's new right? But this time to try striking the great deals and future business dealings with Star Cruises.
Where total maintanence in the area of housekeeping could be handled or provided for by us...
Can you even imagine how much revenue that would mean?....
start with one vessel and stretching to the other part of the fleet....Phuah!!!

The week was like warefare...
merged into a price war...
the bloodshed result.
It wasn't just winning over competitors,
but totally moving them out of market.
Back into the kinda scenario that reminded me of the days as
an Artillery Officer...they say a soldier 'cheong sua' with guns and fighting machines...
while we fight with the calculators and computerized tech...
I was practically punching numbers and formulas in the calculator at various different situations...
different moments...different customers....different problems....I brought different pricing...
my mind was kept busy round the clock..solving big project problems....finding best pricing for acceptance...
and yet making the big marks. I aiming at a 10k profit margin this week...but damn it I hit only about 9.
Yet all at the same time...closing international deals...which was totally difficult since I was dealing with chinese...
Mandrin wasn't making anything easier for me. So trying to hit at that darn freaking few pallet load sales was
like trying to teach a duck to swim...
sometimes it was like a chicken and duck talk.

But through this process I realised one factor...
Solve a customer's problems and pricing isn't a question with added good and personal services...
I found myself hitting a 350% at one....shocked me at how it was possible.
From this blog, it should serve as a reminder to me...
as long as you have the will and keep trying...out of nowhere, there is money to make...
there are infinite possibilities.

Aiming to hit my next mark....I'm gona try for november.
And here I go again!

Those who are poor and yearn to be rich...
I realised that a handful of them would just bullshit their way through
at the slightest spark of status...
even when it's against those of their own kind...

Affirming the dog eat dog world in their sense of being...
Horrible...

sigh....oh well...let them dig their own grave...


Anyway...today I've been given light to my old interest...
'forceful virtual intrusion' against those who utilize the cyber world for the wrong reasons.
Hate it when people email threats to others and utilizing the identity of another.
Somehow I will find out...
threats of death and putting a bullet into another's head is such an unthinkable thing to do.
Esp when we're talking about those victim being in my circle...

I guess the wrong move fortunately was made already by sending an email...
There are but just a few suspects...
and when locality is right on target...
I guess the rightful victim might just use any possible ways to seek the physical virus.

I guess God is fair...where the evil minded are always stupid enough to leave their footprints behind
for the arm of the whatever law there is to grab them by the neck to beat the crap shit out of them...

And soon we'll see...

Now it's Office in Hydrabad!
yet another directorship to head for over there...
goodness...I think I'm gona be freaking ass busy my head off with everything going on like that.

I've also double confirmed my stand on the market requirement for a certain service...
that will be kinda labour intensive at first, but I guess we could make a fight with proper joint ventures
and partnership and soon to head off the IR business...

Shit my mental squirrel cage is ever turning and refusing to stop for awhile to rest....which means I might just KO
with all the thinking and thinking...

Yesterday I just dozed off beside my com while sitting upright on a cusioned BMW sports rim without back rest.
weird....like meditating monk. But ass now hurts....lol....walk also like cartoon....

Have been all busy aiming for my next hit of 20k in profit....how's that sounding to you?.... hahaha....sound good eh...
but it's a huge risk to take dealing with some China business man....
Actually I can't believe I'm actually trading in chinese....I'm doing business in chinese....blah blah blah...
fighting in the china market and stuff like that... and the funny thing is that my mandrin is still as usual purely like shit.
sorry correction.....it's purely shit....with no 'like' in ther description. hahahaa....

These days...one by one, people are trying to introduce some prospective partners to me... like their friend or their friend's friend....or some friend they think somehow in their head might just match me... whatever...
aye...are my white hair really showing that obvious that you all think I'm getting real old and need to hitch up quick?....
uh...oh....maybe....
spotted quite a few springing up already....damn.

But anyway...my next target stepping stone is a big showcase seminar in Sabah to whack the 'ancient' old Singapore market
there... what can't be sold in Singapore will be sold in Sabah...coz they haven't reached up the class where people are
just so picky and want things for big name sake....so alot of rubbish can me sold there actually....GOOD!

that's the hit for november!...
But I WANT TO GO ON A HOLIDAY!!! I NEED A BREAK!!!!!

lol....

Sometimes I pause and ask myself...
"is it all worth it?"
Well actually, the answers were long ago set within me.
I already know the answer to my very question.

The trouble is...I always weigh the consequences over the effort.
And if I see that I've that appetite for the risk...
It's always worth it.
From there I move forward...
The next step in life breaks through though it's a fork road.
A small deviation will get me to another path...
Well, it's not like I can jump over the right way again....just takes alittle more time.

recently I shifted my perspectives... I saw a different way in handling what hits me...
I'd simple throw back the question at anyone...."...it's important, I believe so, but is it urgent?"
This somehow got me some breathing space along the way...
those above me have begun to know my strengths and get the picture of how overworked I've been and
now have left me to set my decision on the various pace...
esp when I've already set my own vision in helping to expand the empire.

And the whole deal goes on...today....tomorrow...the next day...and the next....and the following...and the days beyond...

=)

Took a short nap...
with many things in mind just running through my head...
seems like there are some things I'm just putting off with my busy schedule and lack of time...
Have been on-going taking up so manything things...
learning so much at an accelerated pace.
Now there is even a branch office of the company with director title to my name...
where the start up and operation comes all in my hands.
If things flop, I'd be in the ditch together with it...yet if things rises, I'd rise with it...
From being just a mere asst manager to the Singpore office, I'm now the regional technical/marketing manager.
Some times it's not how high you climb...
it's how much time you've gotten left for yourself...
Life ain't about climbing up there...
It's who you can share the feeling with and not being just alone...

The accidental Prophecy

2 out of 5 came true so far...
What comes next I don't know...
What he calls the HMS...
Health Money Success...

I'll see...I'll see...
but there many things to the whole thing...I'm literally growing white hair at work...
Soon I'll be golden headed...

SIX solid days at work in foreign lands...

Woke up in the wee hours of the morning...actually practically not sleeping at all,
just to hit the roads at 5.30am to make my way to the airport on the 5th...
headed to Sabah Kota Kinabalu.

All set to carry on my quest to settle a whole load of stuff. Like a man on a mission.
I needed to start up the business there. A new distrubution office, warehouse and operation flow.
The new shareholder had totally no idea on business, while his partner has abit of marketing idea...
the rest...would be pure crap and bull.

Had alot to work to get started on...
Anyway... suddenly, I came to realise that somehow along the way I was put set to be one of the Directors
of this Sabah Branch...somewhat fufilled the first prophecy of the hypnotic indian man who foretold my coocoo
future.

Anyway...managed to settle lotsa stuff and now a container is being arranged to set sail from Singapore, with all
the goods and office ware support for the new office.
Left me with a little time to take walk around the place...
Went to the kelong side about 1hr away from my hotel...had great seafood there...all life! super fresh.
Prawns, fish and shellfish...the whole lot...was like practically digging into them right after I caught them.

Weird names they give their noodles though... 'Tua Lan' mee...
Was thinking...what the hell kinda noodles is that?....so vulgar....hahaha

The flea market is rather interesting...they sell anything...dogs, cats, fish, tortoise, little pigs....like some farm.
And the tribal head hunters kinda ornaments and traditional stuff too...
apart from the norm pasar malam stuff in Singapore...
Over all I must say that Sabah is quite a clean place...the toilets are even better than Singapore's.

Philippines...the weird bunch of people...where the guys have got no pride....relying on the girls to work
and feed them....slack to the max and also are humping machines....leaving the ladies dealing with the kids and
slogging like mad...and they...either slack or have someone else some where else in the country....
Well that's as far as I know...
The well known Balut...is their natural Viagra taken with red bull....that's why it's only sold evening onwards...
maybe that's the reason for the moment of passion...leading to them having the award of MBA....
Married By Accident....lol...

But I must say...the food and service there...is the top....fabulous!...
loves it!
hahaha...just a rough country with lasy, driveless people and wanting to seem very much like America....
just cannot make it..so making them look like a merge of a third world country and america fusion....

Oh well...got lotsa stuff to write about this trip...lotsa stuff I did...but too damn freaking tired to say too much...
maybe next time....Maybe...

I hope at the end of the month will be a proof of something meaningful.
Beginning of the week was bad...real bad...so much headache...so pushy...with everything so piled up
...all bottle necked up until I blew my top.
Had enough of the overload...
Only then they felt that it's time they cut me some slack...
but then again...before anything else can be done...
I'm in for yet another trip...

and tomorrow I'm off...in the wee hours of the morning...
to Sabah, brunei and manila I go..

hope I set the places up well and over some great deals.

tata!

When one is tipping off boiling point...
seriously...treading on such waters is asking for trouble...

Don't play with fire....

Argh!!!! ARgh!!!!!! argh!!!
@#$$%#$%@@#$ damn F*** ARGH!!!!!!!!

I'm totally not NOT NOT in the fucking mood to bother shit about many things right now!

How is it that I'm able to come up with figures when I've no freaking understanding of the break down?

Not like I don't want to find out...
It's hidden...and unexplained...no I should say unwanted to explain.
Totally crap!

I'm got something in mind today...on a business plan....
anyone daring enough to head it on with me?

hahaha...

C'mon....who got the balls to just be their own boss and their own worker?....
unfortunately...very little people...

sigh...

Slept for a good 24hrs straight...
in for exhausion...strengthless...mental drain...
took the whole day to recharge the biobattery....hahaha

But my head is still swirling...

Anyway...the ending feeling of the week...
was good.
satisfaction.
proven my abilities...and time effectiveness.
Now the topic on the weird indian man that told of my future has become the topic
to talk about between my parents and their friends...

realised also that I've got white hair growin' on my head already...
OMG...

Phew!!
What a week...seriously what a week it's been...
totally drained by work and the loads of responsibilities.
Suddenly I realised that I'm above all branch geneal managers and directors...
squeezing sales figures out of them...
teaching them the art of technical sales...
teaching them technical handling...
teaching them technical analysis of systemic faults or designs...
goodness!
And it's a whole week of hardcore extra stuff besides my daily work...
trying to force in the entire industrial products and commercial products info in just a week...
I think they all are also overloaded by the info....hahaha...

And even after that...have got so much to catch on my loaded work due to the times I'm not in office...

Oh the rush....esp when having to multi task the whole day through at a 12hr routine.

Fortunately though...at least I've got this weekend to take a day's breather... no more insomnia to back me up on time.

Today...a strange man came up to me to prove his supernatural abilities...
being able to tell my past....my character...my numbers in family size like how many brothers and sisters....
how the sequence is like....my birthday....my religion...what I've been feeling about work and life...
This is crazy....I never believed in fortune tellers...but this....this really shocked the hell out of me.
he could pre-write something out....crushed it in a piece of paper and then talked to me about it and after which
asked me to open the paper to double comfirm his findings after looking at me.

And then he went on telling me about what's like for in the future....together with some caution...
Totally too shocking for me to just remain alert for that moment...

And the best part...he wanted nothing from me... I just offered him a drink....that was purely it.

gave me a stone to keep...
something that is of special usage along my life....

Goodness me....don't know what's all these for...

still trying to figure out...
and awaiting to see the truth in his words of things being predestined for me at the end of this year...
and how things will be on a rise from this november on....

aiyoh...can this be real?....hahahaa...

Life unpredictable..
Like a sunny day fallen with a heavy rain...
With a need for time, abundance for what you don't wanna do...
A couple behind on a chase, yet taking a step forward for only one...
Being determined but yet need some focus...
The madness world in reality that people live it, don't realise it...

After work was a mixing set I was just doin' for the sake of let off steam...
For the steps of pretty people in body fit clothes
walking down the road they call the norm for the lands and take off for planes...

The suave, the cool, the sweet, the gorgeous and the sexy...

but there I was basically moving the whole floor with earth shaking thunderous music
in beats of pop, hip hop and modern acid jazz...

Feels like the entire mood and feeling was put into just the turntable, countless discs and me...
scratchin'....shiftin'...changin'...and rollin' the controls and snappin' up buttons to make all go well...

Not sure why but I'd normally stay around to mingle with the good graciously gorgeous...
but totally had no mood after that...looking at them after the even was just plain nothingness...

Some mood I'm just flowin' in for today...
all the work and draining responsibilities probably....
oh well...

Suddenly have to urge to do something to scare the wits of myself again...
Maybe it's some inner fetish I have...doing things to challenge my mental state...or
just to get me out of the mono routine.

The last time I said I would put on any pink or fool around the idea of dances...
There I took on salsa...and soon I went on for 2 stages of it...
So besides doing the DJ for samba music or world music ranges, I headed off for a total new genre
of mixes. Very much younger was toying with the feeling of height phobia and speed phobia...
yes yes I know the people who knows me will find it hard to believe with regards to these 2 aspects...
But it was true and horrible...imagine I couldn't even walk pass the overhead bridges or even take the slightly
faster speed in my dad's tortoise speed car...maybe snail would be a better word.

But now....erhmm....I think I need not say more on that...hahaha...

Now I'm toying with the idea of taking up Argentine Tango....
erhmm....should I or should I not?....damn it...
need to find that time slot...or someone who is also game enough to be my partner and go on with that flow...
now that part is the bigger challenge than overcoming my procastination of going for it.


hahahaa....

~There will be no ordinary days for you
If there is someone who cares like I do
just for you sweet girl
I'll be always ready with a smile
With just one glimpse of you
You dont have to search no more
Cause I am someone who would love you for sure
So... If we fall in love
Maybe we'll sing this song as one
If we fall in love
We can write a better song than this
If we fall in love
We will have this melody in our heads
If we fall in love
Anywhere with you will be a better place~

Gone has been the weekend I enjoyed most...
A wonderful saturday...
And an eventful sunday meeting up with old friends and good buddies
all at a good friend's wedding...

Somehow...something struck me last night...
I just realised that people actually took note of my many likes and dislikes...
just like even going down to the kinda of food and desserts I'd go for...
or the kind of lifestyle I'd go on with.
I'd hear things like "Kenneth wouldn't want to eat that... doesn't really like sweet stuff"...
or "Kenneth probably would be kept busy doing...."....or "Kenneth simply likes....."
and blah blah blah....

anyway... nothing bad about it...just never thought people really would remember.... coz it really
isn't that important at all.

Well...Congrats to my 2 friends....Ben and Michelle in their marriage!
Here's something I did for them....a flip page album...

http://www.thebenandmichelle.bravehost.com/

Was a wonderful evening well spent...
After work was rugging in the fields at the friendly with a foreign team...
then comes meeting the smiley for dinner and an evening at 'Swan Lake'...

Haahaa....actually it's Swan Lake on Ice...
a performance by Imperial Ice stars...a famous premier theatrical ice skating company
in the world.

Totally great stunts and coordination altogether I must say. Totally put me and me date seated with
mouth wide opened for some scenes...

Whatever it is....even if Swan Lake wasn't that all good...
The evening was already worth while rushing my entire week for...
wouldn't mind living the evening one more time... =)
