Note to self.

We had 2 meetings originally lined up for this 2-day outstation; but we managed to get 3 meetings. Both are equally amusing I must say.

Note to self:

1. Please at least try to be humble when dealing with subordinates below you. The arrogance is so transparent.

2. Covering your asses will not help the problem; it'll only show you're incapable of handling the truth.

3. Maneuvering the direction so it'll jive with your action items is very tactfully done; just don't let the other party know what you're actually doing or it'll look VERY selfish.

Maybe if their message is carefully explained; maybe if the rebuttals are not so defensive, we would be walking out of the meeting room with no urge of killing people. Words are important. Doesn't mean that when you're on top, you couldn't care less about all the others who are just as equally important.

Anyway. I'll be sure to take this as an experience so I'll know how to react when similar things happen in the future. I'd have to say, my boss handled the meetings very well. I would've exploded or at least rolled my eyes and throw a cynical sentence or two. I guess that's why he's the boss and I'm the rookie. heh.


Impiana KLCC has a parquet floor. I hate parquet floors. Gotta love the room though:)

Couldn't resist ordering in-room dining. Le Meridien has the best hotel burger so far in my opinion.

Will be going through a long series of outstations these 2 months. Possible kah mau teruskan yang itu bulan ni???!!??

Tomorrow will be a half-day meeting and then back to Kerteh. OK U's SO driving on Thursday evening to KL, I'm so bloody tired. Wondering if I can slot in an hour with Tuan Dokter gigi before heading back tomorrow.

Shoe-gasm.

How the heck do they do it????Turn my heart into jell-o with just a glimpse of their GORGEOUS looks. Tgk laki hensem pun tak mcm ni punye cair.

Apa aku merapik hujan2 nih.




INI LAAAHHHHHHHHHH:

I LOVE ALL OF THEIR SHOOESSSSSSS!!!

Mission: RM50 for 2-pax in 5days.

Mission details: Able to spend only RM50 for meals for 2-pax.

Mission starts: 25th Oct 2009

Mission end: 29th Oct 2009

Mission Status: SUCCESS.

Yobih we can manage RM50 ONLY for the both of us the whole week on food!! Of course our nights will be either bread and soup or no dinner after a big lunch.

Why did we challenge ourselves?

To banish the newly-developed spending on junk food habits, of course. And not forgetting the growing waistline!!! All the junk food I've consumed 2 weeks in a row (Raya open houses at different department all week, nang heavennnn) and also my PMS week (OK tok nang terok dlm history, I craved for everything except him haha); it had to stop.

Hence this new regime. It's not so bad after all, we'll continue this for a while and see how it goes. Owh and my weight went down to 52.5kg, better than before when I was busy stuffing my tummy. Still targeting to achieve 50kg (which was my weight during puasa), so no junkies for me nemore!! Iq, I need your scale nak di rumah kau ya for the details!!haha.

Lamak dh sik engkah gamba sitok owh.

Nampak sik ke-vain-nannya sampei half my face is covered by him??Or I'm just that small beside him.heheh.

I have a crazy week next week.

2-4th Nov: KL
5th-7th Nov: Kerteh
8th-10th Nov: KL

If SKG approved, will go to KL again the week after next. And my parents + aunty's family is coming down to KL too that weekend. And plus that thing again mun jadi Insyaallah. U has to stay back since he has a project to man in GPP3 TA that week. Penin palak ku eh mok juggle suma. Mileage QAL bagei dh makei 4thn dh ooo tedah. Servis agik next week tok.

P/S: Ppl, watch Law Abiding Citizen! Cerita itu SANGAT worth utk ditengok di wayang instead of MJ's This Is It (To MJ fans sorry!). In my opinion it's underrated. Best and super saiko. Make sure you watch OK ppl?

Have a great weekend!

PMS worst case scenario: May cause temporary unstability of the mind. Gaaahhh.

Ngrepak rah blog sigek ya jak bgs gk ooo.nyaman nganok.heheh.

Ihavesomuchtotellbutmyhandswouldntcooperatewithmybrianstowritethemdowninhere.

...Hence the short hiatus.

Anyway (aku suka na nyebut anyway oo?)

What have I been doing lately:

1. 260520 - Biz is going hectic; but in a good way:)

2. BD - I think I've gone half berserk over this so I wouldn't stress my brain talking about it...even if there's loads to talk about.

3. Friends' weddings - Friends tying the knots all over, happy happy occasion; beautiful dresses, good food, love the company!

4. Work - Outstations

5. Family - the usual tantrums. Tok gik sigek. tiring!

I just finished reading this book: Dare To Fail by Billi Lim

It basically tells us the other side of winning. Typically people would say losing is the direct opposite of winning; but come to think of it, it's just at the far end of winning. It's a part of success.

'Nuff said, just read the book and you'll know what I mean:)


The current situation now makes me even firmer on my current dream. I keep on visualizing myself opening up the shutters every 8:30 am, running through the inventory, arranging the ready-stocks, updating my very very busy online shop (to reach customers who are too far to go to my store), attending to my new customers, chatting up with my return customers, strategizing & re-strategizing with my biz partner cum my life partner (whichever comes first, depending on certain cases heheh), my dearest Mr. U.

I want to have it all. My dreams & goals. Realization of my future that I keep rewinding & re-playing over and over in my head. So I keep reminding myself: It's OK to stay up an hour or two later than everyone else; it's OK to miss a few episodes of Gossip Girls (aaahhhh torture u can do this!!); it's OK not to have too much fun.

It's all for the future, baby. 260520.

13 Oct 2009

....Ya saidi lpk apa nak dpdh ku.

tunggu lok.

Home Sweet Home.

Hie adik2!

OK. Sudah berada di rumah sejak 2 hari lepas n harini terasa a bit bored coz Mama's done cooking & she's resting now. (OK aku nulong juak ngupas2 bwg & kaco2 periuk atas stove!). The 2 bratties are arriving at 5:30pm, most prolly I'll have to go n fetch them. NOT what I was looking forward to especially about the news that Syadah broke up (cess berita lamak ok she's been exchanging bfs for the last 2 months.bangga la bangga la??!??) & this time it was the guy who called it quits. OK. Please be boyfriendless for a while.

Mickey (mama's latest cat) is sitting next to me as I'm writing this (and watching the cursor carefully haha how cute). Actually there's something missing this year.

1. Pakchu (OK although I don't favor him; but I do think the family is somehow incomplete. Oh well. If you're not happy in the relationship, why stay?)

2. I miss going jalan2 with AADC during malam raya to go watch umah2 org masang lampu2 Raya. Definitely not doing that this year; and I'm not sure about next year's Raya.

3. Aten & Ipah not coming home for Raya. Aaaaaa sik bestnya...this means we're left with Effy & I...which this year I don't think we'll be doing the routine visits that much.

4. Decided not to go jalan Raya this year...it's just too weird. I'm sad to think that last year's was the last full-blast one..even so ada juak org menghilang tgh2 jalan...ada org sik join la. Still, the tradition has been going on for the past 7 years. How situation can change everything. Hmm.

5. No 3rd day open house for me this year; just helping out for Abah's & Anjang's open house on the..2nd day I think? Nevertheless, sila lah dtg ke rumah nenek saya. Tp sekda laksa la this year, sorry!

6. I miss that 1 particular Mr. Crankypants who's right now at Kuala Kangsar being dragged by Opah to prepare for Raya. hehe. Maybe next year, who knows?;)

Let's not dwell on the sad parts during this Raya, shall we? I still have these to look forward to:

1. Mama's Rendang ayam, Ayam masak merah, Kurma daging, Laksa Sarawak (Kenak suma berkaitan mknn & kenak nya adalah first??!!??)

2. Raya eve; this particular one to continue what we've left off yesterday night. Tonight I'm coming with The List!

3. Raya morning. Oohh this year wajib bagi duit Raya; OK2 duit Raya sudah ditukar!

4. 4th Raya - family BBQ yeay!

5. Kacau Qayyum every single day. hehe.

6. Items arriving for my customers. Seriously I love this & I wanna do this forever. Mr. U loves it too kn?hehe

7. Last but not least, being fetched by Mr. U at KLIA on the midnight of 26th :)



To all my loved ones, Happy Eid, semoga Hari Raya ini membawa seribu keberkatan & kebahagiaan (cehh haruskah skema?)

Selamat Hari Raya everyone!
