You know what's today's date???

31.08.09

Yea... It's 31.08.09!!!

It's a public holiday!

so what?

In this profession of mine

there's no such thing as public holiday!

I was wondering...

Is it just like what ppl said...

"We must start out in this field 1st. Just tahan for a couple of years plus. After that you'll senang!"

or ppl said that

"this is the toughest field!"

Is that really true???

When u can't take the pressure anymore,

You yourself will asked,

"Why am 1 doing this? Why should we work so hard when the pay we got is worst than what a beggar earned a day by begging on the street compared to the amount of workload we r burden with!"

Is this really worth it???

Then, when you, out of nowhere got some spirit to faced all of the challenges...

Again, 'DEMOTIVATION' will pay you a visit!

Work Life Balance?

Wtf! It's more like -No Life, All Work- scenario !

!!!Wake Up!!!

so,

If you really wanna take up this profession,

you gotta give something away for a couple of years plus...

you gotta lived with it & packed yourself with +ve thoughts all those years

you just gotta ignore whatever -ve that comes your way!

& if you felt you can't take it anymore,

ppl will say

"Find another job 1st, market is bad now"

In the end, Life Goes On~

?What can you do?

Movies Galore

Alot of movies 2 watch!!!

If u like action-oriented movie --> Laughing Gor
Gangster-Undercover-Police

This movie tells the story of Laughing with a dark background as a triad member under Chou (Anthony Wong). Chou was the triad's leader and persuaded Laughing to join the police force as an undercover for the triad to spy on police activities. While in the police academy, Laughing excelled but not well enough to be confirmed as a police officer. Instead he was recruited to be an undercover agent to spy on some illegal activities. Laughing now maintains the life as a double undercover agent, with crucial information from both sides. However, an incident disturbs the balance of the two identities and threatens to blow his cover. With both the triad and police force suspicious of his loyalty, Laughing does not know who he can trust to save him

(if u r tvb-lovers - amusing plot, thumbs up 2 anthony wong & francis ng! damn go0d at acting as bad guy!)

If u like fun-going & humour oriented

A 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. Due to his age, he thinks life has passed him by. One day, an 8-year old wilderness explorer named Russell, changes his outlook on life and the pair goes on adventures, encountering wild terrains, unexpected villains and jungle creatures.

[if u love how younger generations blend with older ones]

Family-oriented with funny man, Eddie!

Eddie Murphy stars as a successful financial executive, Evan who has more time for his BlackBerry than his seven-year-old daughter, Olivia (Yara Shahidi). When he has a confidence crisis and his career starts going down the drain, he soon finds the solution to all his problems in his daughter's imaginary world.

-> if u like family-like movie; relationship between father & daughter<--

4 years
& finally HE graduated!
& finally HE got to leave 'The Little Jungle of Sintok'
& finally HE got the magical 'Scroll'
& finally HE will say G00dbye to HIS FriendS
BUt sadness filled His Heart
As THE ONE HE WANTED most to be there
will not be the PHYSICALLY....


2day
HE made HiS way to another 'Leaving Party'
Leaving Party called CONVOCATION
for SHE has Graduated thiS time Around
As HE arrived at the Destination
HE whispered:
" MUM, 2day's Andrea's Convocation! I know MUM will be with US even though MUM's not around anymore. MUM deserves to be HERE more than any1 else! "

Sadness filled His HEART once again
for MUM did not make it to His
as well as to Hers
HE felt the 'true pain of FATE'
for the very 1st time in HiS short life so far...

......THE ONE missed Deeply & Truthfully.....

MUM
We always th!Nk, MisS & L0ve you

If you were A Memory...

If you were a memory,

I would be downhearted

If you were a memory

I would be depressed

If you were a memory,

I would be devastated

If you were a memory

I would want to be part of that memory

A memorable memory

A sweet and meaningful memory

An unforgettable memory

Whereby

Looking back at sadness would make me laugh

but looking back at laughter would make me cry

If you were a memory,

Which I don’t want you to be one

& If I ever had an option

I would want you to be my FUTURE...

SiCk-enin'

Even though you were tired,

When YOU were around,
Your never ending care, love & touches

Once the time past, you can never turn back the time again!

When you wanted the time to slowdown

It is even faster that the speed of light! ('kua zhang' abit)

Why must you choose me?
Why must you infect me?

Why must I feel weak because of you?
Why must I feel sick because of you?
Why must I suffer because of you?

Can you pls leave me as soon as possible?
Can you pls go now!
Can you just leave me al0ne!
Can you not disturb me anymore?


I beg u.........






Damn o Damn VIRUS

Sumatera Utara 2

Language Barrier

Bahasa Indon or watever language it is called is quite hard 2 undst when spoken by the locals there but when listening to the radio, the language is still understandable. Basically they sounded so 'malay' with a slang.

wang - uang
universiti - universitas
Ogos - Augustus
Julai - Juli
Akaun - Akuntasi

Accomodation

The place where I sleep & eat during my stay there. Every1 stay under 1 shelter. Even the GM & Financial Controller. They are both M'sians working in Indon and there are 2 more Chinese Malaysians from Muar there. They all made my stay in Indon easier.

Transportation

My main mode of transport in Indon! Of course i dont have to drive myself lo.. Got driver ma! But in the area I went, hard to c those normal 'Sedan' cars...Mostly i saw this 4 wheels & most if not all are Toyotas!!! The their toyota sure got this "KIJANG" word de...no matter wat model

Experiences

One think that caught my attention there is that most of their road do not have lines in the middle so at times mmg susah to differentiate between 1 way n 2 way. Then right, in the middle of the road pula ada tong tong then ada orang duduk in the middle of the road holding a net pula.. I fikir & fikir also cant think of the logic of sitting in the middle of the road with net. So I ask the financial controller, & he told that they are 'fishing' for donations for masjid!! Can you digest that? Haha...

Then, I don't think you would 1 to drive in Indon. They used their car's hone all the time, to signal to the drivers in front to 'GET OUT OF MY WAY' & 'I AM OVERTAKING U!' Driving in Sumatera was really stressful. Even me as mere passenger felt the tension-ness!

The 'trishaws' we used to know here are different there. Instead of using bicycle to get it moving, they used motorbikes pula! hehe. They dont have to wear any helmet or any protections too! A ride through the dusty streets in the evening will bring you to the scene of mothers carrying their child siiting outside their 'badly conditioned' house by the road staring blankly & chatting away. They seemed contented despite their simple & limited life!

Sumatera Utara

Just back from 2days 1 night working trip to a factory in Lintas T.Tinggi - P. Siantar Km. 21.5 Kalembak - Dolok Merawan Serdang Bedagai, Sumatera Utara Indonesia!!!

Departure & Arrival
8:30am - Driver came & pick me up.
10.15am - Exited Seremban toll. Arrived safely at LCCT, KLIA soon after. Airport full of buzz, pack with so many people. Check in, go through normal procedures and waited at waiting area.
10:45-11:45 am - Reached too early? What can I do? Saw ppl using their laptops at d waiting area so I also follow suit. Luckily, there's wireless was available. Surf and chat all d way.....
12:00 noon - Announced the arrival of QZ8055. Queued up and wait for my password to be checked and jalan to the waiting Airbus.

Polonia International Airport, Medan
Arrived about 12:05noon. Yes 12:05noon Indon time. Indon time is 1 hour earlier than our local time.. At the Polonia, all arrivals need to go through 'Health Spray' (Disinfect). There were ppl taking advantage of 1st time tourist there who dunno where to go and wat to do next. This particular guy came and offer his help and being 1st time there, I blindly and stupidly obeyed! He was helpful and I went throught the procedures easily, dont have to wait n queue up but it came with a price! The guy later ask for wang cop passport! I gave. Then, he asked for wang kopi! I was reluctant at 1st and replied "Wang tadi tak cukup? I takde ruppiah lagi belum tukar lagi". But that guy, like any 'money-sucker' around kept pestering me...and me being annoyed, shut his 'smelly mouth' with another piece of Ruppiah!

Went through the gate and saw the 'one' arranged to pick me up. He was holding a piece of card in rectangular shape showing "KEVIN - K***". So i walked straight to him & adknowledged that I was the guy he was waiting for! He told he was waiting for 3 other Auditors from Bandung. So I sat there and he went to the Domestic Arrivals platform and doing the same thing again. Holding another piece of rectangular card with different msg this time around. I waited there for nearly 2hours. Just sitting there observing people and culture in Medan. The taxi there mostly used 'Excel' branded car and colored in blue and red with their company's logo firmly 'chop' at the doors. Let me ask you a Question here. What is the thing that most ppl around the world love the most??? Any idea? personally, I think the answer is CIGARETTE ! Nearly every1, young or old was smoking and the 'asap-asap yg teramat wangi sekali' was filling the air there; make until me so kenot de tahan with the 'aroma'! (4give me for my language here, wahaha!) So nearly 2 hours of 'aromatherapy' there that had shorten my life to 'who noes how many years!' =(
It really amazed me that, both young & old shared d "passion & beauty" of these *tiny paper wrapping tobacco 'time-bomb'* Wahaha!

Thank God after 2hours of sufferings, the 3 Auditors from Bandung finally arrived! Smartly dressed in formal with jacket attached! Look young but after knowing them better, they are not as young as I thought in the 1st place. More of them later on. =) After 2 hours of waiting, next I have to endure another 2-3hours of "ass-pain" to get to the Factory in the address stated above sekali. The journey through the town & road of Indon posed another 'new chapter of xperiences' in my life!!!
