Phew! what a day....what a day....
A move to the new office....whilst the renovation is on going...
All of a sudden, it seems like I'm the one making decisions, making changes to the renovation plans...
having constracters and suppliers reporting to me regarding linits, constrains and what they were planning for...
And most of all...signing the hell for all the crazy expensive stuff...
Firming the phone line transfer from the old office to the new and getting the phone system fixed up together with
the new 2 madnessly powerful multi copiers that I went shopping around for the company for...
not forgetting the internet connection, setting of a server and the assembly of 7 new sets of computers....
and a referbishment of the old ones....All were no joke....
a huge responsibility placed unto me...tired... handling the core factors to the operation flow of the company
during this transition....highly crucial. A day of no communications could mean a few hundred thousand of
opportunity cost... like straight having my butt on the grill....

Well finally....all done....all done...

all done with a day having no aircon, no chair, lagging water, multi tasking like 5 load of different focal of concern
at a go...and having had only 2 hrs of sleep the night before...
wah....army wasn't so siong last time.....was it?....
or is today's operation MOVE HUGE OFFICE was meant for the SOFs?...hahahaa.....

retiring on my bed...sinking into the comfort of soft pillows....is like heaven.....

=)

Morning breakfast at Ang Mo Kio Ave 4...
truly brings back old memories.
The very old stores selling soya bean milk...
the wan tan mee stall and the one selling the best kway chap
I ever had that got me liking it so much.
The long time hawkers were still there besides the new ones springing up
here and there...
But they are the everlasting... the survival of the fittest...they are the strong ones.
I remembered myself as a young boy at about 5...
I would be at the market with my mum and my dad...strolling to the long morning queue
at the fried carrot cake stall for some nice hot tasty starch and off to the fishy wet market
with old aunties pushing around and all I saw was their butt right in my face.
It all takes a fart and I'd be down...foaming....lol...

Felt like a little boy again...

but reality hits when leaving for work...
I'm already 26 going on 27...
before I know it I'm hitting the 30 mark very soon and I'm at a point
where I either make or break....
and I jolly well make my mark in business and hit my target annual income...
Haiz... 2nd day of official work and already almost 1/3 of the company's cases and
business handlings have already been passed on to me...
fighting fire on the spot...
All the turbo charged learning...
sweeping me off...
Hey I'm gona say that this job can be rather addictive...
You just wanna keep thinking, keep working on cases and issues...
and seeing results coming in one by one.
hohoho....GoGoGo!

Back to work!
lots to learn, lots to quote, lots to think about, lots to strategize...
All in a day's work...
=)

My Art of topping score...strategy set. =) On the tryout. hahaha...

My 3 steps in sales...
the good set of 'C's or the bad set of 'C's??....
hmmm....


It's either the
Convince
then
Confuse
then
Con

For a one time sweep



or

Convince
then
Condition
then
Care

For a long term consumer relationship...thus come referrals and bigger bucks...
Process may be slow, but returns has a high chance of ripping out the ceiling tiles in potentials.

=)

Funny how some people just wanna look at things in one direction...
blindly doing things for the sake of it and not knowing if there are
any good effect in future or any possible cost savings....

All he wants was for me to just say that he made a great choice.

Maybe I'm just too frank when it comes to giving opinions of a
certain decision...
And he ain't much of a bird's eye watcher...


Well...maybe he hasn't been out long enough to know
and simply living in the idealistic dream...
Whatever really.....just whatever bradda....

Catching a glimpse of my journey in the business circle...
I found alot of potential for me to rise...
yet a heavy responsibility imposed upon me...
to search and conquer regions for control and it has to be
fast and furious and sure...
One mistake would mean a few hundred thousand USD...
Damn I don't think I'll wanna make such a mistake....
but anyway...
I guess trying and starting off for the first step...
there is bound to be mistakes here and there....
But I won't make the biggest mistake of all....
That's to not even try....not even do anything... =)

It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there's actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I've met you, my whole heart has changed
It's not just my beats, you've rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you've brought me back
And I haven't felt like this since before buddy said Ken relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the choices best
All I'm asking you, is don't write me off, just yet

For all days I've been telling myself, the same old story
That I'm happy to live off my all time, former glories
But you've given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you'd wipe up all my plans

And though I know, I've already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I'm asking you, is don't write me off, just yet

Wah the end of my ICT finally....
5 days....short but really mentally draining.
Fortunately the people I was supporting in the Armour unit
had many of my friends in there and those I've worked with before
during my tour in the Division HQ. I was able to get things done easily
and get lucky with some stuff to make my life easier.

All days were nothing much but planning and planning...
explaining to people on the bigger picture of how things would turn out,
the reasons for certain things being done and stuff...
So much strategizing so much thinking so much talking...
Alamak....so much for them taking this as a break from the daily routine
in life...
I think it's worse....

Hardly have time to sleep there...
simply late nights and super early mornings...
and all with a super long winded CO...

And so I said "Being an officer does not give me any great
benefits, niether does it give power for suppression...
it simply imposes responsibilities. We here my brothers, are going to be
the kings of the battlefield and must make our presence felt by those we
standby for support."

All of a sudden, great memories of my military life just swept by and I found
that even as new breed officers, the higher ranking ones have to lean towards us for
support and advice....

I guess it's just about time to keep the visions open...
Scanning process...
For...
One very thing... I'll want, need, desire, keep, hold on to...
Infra-red, UV and micro-wave vision all in operation...

Hahaaa.... =)

Alamak....but time manah sia?
Weekends! lol

This easy feelin'...Hohoho...

~I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
Against your skin, it's so brown
And i wanna sleep with you
In the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
'cause i gotta peaceful easy feeling
And i know you won't let me down
'cause i'm already standing on the
Ground
And i found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
And i gotta peaceful, easy feeling
And i know you won't let me down
'cause i'm already standing on the ground
I get this feeling i may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering
In my other ear, tells me
I may never see you again
'cause i get a peaceful, easy feeling
And i know you won't let me down
'cause i'm already standing on the ground~

Finally!

Wow what a week!
Came back from the wonderful Bali trip...
Feeling all refreshed and good to go for a new chapter in my life!
Work!
The very thing I've been waiting for since I started studying...
couldn't stand the times that I had to do and learn things that aren't
really gonna be applied in daily life....
to memorize sickening lot of stuff that doesn't help in the survival in this
society...all the blah blahs...

Bali was great....real great... The nice beach...and snorkelling area and
feeding the fishes...
The nice surfers' wet dream come true, where the waves keep coming
and coming unending together with the cool sea breeze...nice!
The cold deep in Ayung River while the few were staying on the rafting boat...
So many things! So fun...so relaxing....not forgetting the massages and spa I had
everyday there...simply gets me all bonded with the bed well at night....hahaha....

And coming home... I get to be a big purchaser for the company...
hahaha...imagine electronic and IT manufacturing companies like Toshiba,
Canon, Commax....all treating you like some king...taking all the effort and time
to entertain you and convince you that their product is better....hohoho....sweet!

Friday....8th of June...the moment of truth...
I FREAKIN' CLEARED UNIVERSITY ALREADY!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I seriously thought I was going to fail 3 modules out of the 8 that I was dealing with...
coz I was only able to do 1 1/2 Qn to 2 Qns max...the rest of it was trying my luck and
putting down my own understanding without even solving any of the problems....

Anyway....it's prep for convocation now and into the workforce!

The target for the year would be aiming and hitting the 20mil deal and more to come!!!
GoGoGo!!!!
Gotta prove myself in 4 months...sitting in the position of Asst Manager...stress....
But hey this is good stress...
Hahahaaaa....


Monday! off to be an Army fighting machine once again!!!....for 5 days! hahaha....

Awww yeh!
Finally! it's surfing time!!!!....WoooHooo!

Wow! today was a rush! Phew!...

Went to scout on IT stuff at the PC show...Goodness! it was so crowded.
people were madness trying to push their way through.
I got pissed with a few and I think a guy got it from me....
Pushing his wah behind me, til I lost my temper and turned around
confronting him.
was on the verge of giving him a choke slam damn it...

oh well...

Spent a hundred odd on Storage utilities today....and some mini-SDs for friends.

After which I came home and took my mum's place in the kitchen while she went
to switch off with her old friends...
Slaughtered 2 fishes that were catches from the pond on wednesday by a family friend.
Got it seasoned and good for the grill...
Then had to prepare for pasta... all fit for the table at dinner time...
Darn dealing with the fish was so much problem when having the wrong tools.
And with nobody's assistance. I can feel why my mum sometimes gets so pissed
when she has to rush while everyone else ...aka my siblings sitting around
the place and minding their own business and just waiting for the meal to be
done. But I guess at least when I call out for them, I don't need to push off
for a second shout and they report to me in the kitchen....hohoho...
then that's not so bad lah...

I wish they can just try to help around sometimes and need not to have my mum calling for help.
By then she's already all boiling inside already.
I hope for more time to just take over her duties for awhile to let her go relax alittle...
Maybe on my first pay I'd just get a spa package for she and my dad to let them both go soothen down
themselves and take a break...
The rest will be old enough to deal with their stuff....meals and transport altogether....
they are 15yrs old and above already...so it's time my parents give themselves some time together.

Anyway today... I just got done with dinner and sweep my mum upstairs and got her away from
the maid, before the maid does some shitty thing to anger her and boil her blood.
the maid has been madness for the few months...it's like having her around is giving us more worries
and more work to deal with. things weren't clean, the clothes iron almost burnt the whole of my table...
the tables were never cleaned well...everything wasn't done properly to the bare minimum required at all!
And we've all been teaching her for months and she just doesn't bother at all...
My parents are are gona bat her all the way back to Indo once the new one is confirmed...
hope that time comes faster!


1 more day to Bali Day!!!

Oh man....counting down...2 more days...
and I'm off!
hohoho....Surf the big waves....

Taking some time to ponder on what I want out of life...
once again...
as I always do....hahahaha

Well...
Career....about there...
just need to work on that make it florish...and hit the big target of the year....
Studies....aiyah...heck it already....it's the past...

home....I'll find it and plan when I'll think of buying one...
Car...Oh...I think soon when I get the certifications by the next quarter...

Girlfriend....OMG....now that one...hmmm....haven't thought of yet. hahaha
It's a tough one.
Maybe wait and see...and the almighty being might just allow the chance to hit...


Also...
I'm feeling my temper heating up somehow...not sure why...
but, I seem to begin to get frustrated when people do odd and persistant things
to me... be it verbal, physical...whatever... the explosion will come.

Guess I really need the holiday!

"To be able to blame yourself for the mistakes made in life
but yet to be forward looking"
Is an enlightenment that will carry one beyond the the line of
norm abilities...

"To know what you want to achieve in life and to fight for it
in the best possible way with integrity" is one who holds strong determination
and will.

My future...in my line...
To get what I want...
I'll SWEAT it out!
For a better life, for a better future...
For the things I want and the place I wanna be....

Saturday....went for Novena....
after centuries since the last time I did so...
Realised I couldn't follow what they were doing....
wasn't too sure of the procedures so just prayed the way I would....
well that's so me lah....hohoho....

I'm so looking forward to the coming Saturday.....
Will then fly off to Bali...finally for a short short holiday....
Get out of the system awhile...

and out of the projects for free lance too....need a break before
I hardcore start on my work....my career.....
the burst into the building of Kenneth Empire!
hahahahaa....

Back in goumet Mood...thus a treat for all

The feeling of sharing is good...
to the belated celebration for mother's day...
for my mum and grandma...
And for the good feeling of getting out of NTU.
HOHOHO....

The best feeling comes when I see people enjoying what I've
spent the day preparing for them...and set 2 days to plan and buy the stuff for cooking....

All my first time tests...(yet to perfect it fit for bigger mass and newbie people)...
Thanks to my honoured guinea pigs. lol.
=>Chicken Fajita with multigrain tortilla
=>Cajun grilled King Prawns with mango salsa
=>Spanish seafood backed rice
=>Swedish meatballs with cranberry jelly sauce and beef gravy cream sauce.
(my big tryout...was afraid it fails and have to finish the whole 1kg myself)
=>Balsamic Vinegar dressing salad with olive and garlic croutons
=>Clam Chowder
=>Chilled Mango Cheese cake

All in good time...all in good time...

Next....hmm....I duno...greek?....American?...

Anyway I hope everyone truely enjoyed the food...as much as I enjoyed cooking!

Sometimes I wonder what should I really do...
there are somethings in life that probably I just need to let it flow through...
and just not bother about too much...
But yet.. how would I know what those things really are?

Damn...such feelings are jack shit!

Feeling somehow that I've been in a way forced to come to a point
where I just don't wanna care so much about some stuff...and just let be...
stick on to what I've been with and the road I've travelled along...
just praying for the well being of my freakin' results...(which I'm so afraid to see actually)

Argh!!!
