我想了很久都不知道該怎樣寫或者該不該寫才好. 如過不寫, 放在心理也蠻難受的. 所以還是寫一點吧. 今天本來很好心情的, 不過為了一點小事情就破壞我的好心情了. 我不會說是誰, 也不要誤會. 不是男生. 只是覺的人,是很難去了解的.
為甚麼每次都要我開口先了? 又不是我的錯. 這次我不里, 不要說話就不要說嗎. 我很累了.
好了, 寫到這里就算啦. 我的話語太差勁了. 越寫越錯. ;(
晚安.

我懷念的
已經沒見他一個星期多了. 知道他最近很忙不過來. 看到他每次做到醬夜,感覺有點心疼. 有時后會留一段短訊支持他, 鼓勵他一下. 無論如何, 還是希望他工作順利.
真的很懷念以前的日子. 想起我們一起趕project的時後, 一起吃飯, 一起聊天. 現在他越來越忙了. 不知道甚麼時後才可以約在一起吃飯, catch up 一下呢?

First Service for my MYVI
Woke up at 7am this morning and sent my car to Perodua Service Centre at Sect 19. Luckily I’m early cuz it’s really a lot of people service their car at this time. I was wondering what am I got to do here while waiting for my car. I brought my laptop along just in case they have wi-fi here then I don’t mind to wait.
True enough when I stepped into the reception, a lot of things has changed. I think the last time that I visited this service centre was 6 years ago. The waiting area now is so advance, so neat & organized. Of course they have wi-fi, you can make your own drinks, can watch TV and they even have kid’s corner area. And the customer service personnel were very friendly and helpful.
I finished my service just an hour. It so great! I remembered the last service I came, I waited for 4 hours. Total service cost me RM230. Quite expensive tho but the technician said usually first service is that expensive. The next service will be much cheaper.
Anyway, it’s ok, as long as my baby (my car) gets the good service. :-)

The Appraisal (10.11.08)
My boss has invited me to attend the appraisal for the management trainee. Inside my boss’s room, she also invited another department manager as the management trainee report to her and sometimes me. I wonder if I were the management trainee, I would be scared to death. Is 3 against 1!!.
This appraisal took us 1 ½ hours to finished. The appraisal for this management trainee was not that good. We as her superior/mentor need to tell her the truth on her working performance in order for her to improve and excel in the future. We understand this is her first job and she needs to go through the working environment in a distributor company is not easy. Even for myself who had experienced in working, in my current company now, I have cried twice! I felt so pressure and stress working in this company that I have gave up twice too. But I thanked God for my boss who appreciated me so much that she didn’t want to lose me. In order to retain me, she thinks of other port-folio for me to explore. I’m so blessed to have such supportive and understanding boss. I always tell my friends and colleagues that my boss is the only reason that I want to stay and worked for her. She is such a humble boss to me and to her staff. I do not know why still some of my colleagues (or the reps) don’t like her. I understand she is a very analytical person but to me it’s good. I have learned so much from her in analyzing the data or reports (and eventually became an analyzer) and it’s quite interesting when you found out something from analyzing. Haha..
Anyway, this is not the main topic. Let’s get back to the appraisal’s story. Towards the end of the appraisal, she cried when the department manager asked her if she is too fierce. She didn’t say yes but her tears answered all. I know the department manager also feel sad and thought the reason the mgmt trainee cannot progress well is because of her. I tried to comfort the dept manager and also to tell the mgmt trainee that she has a wrong perception on this dept manager. I worked with this dept manager before and I know her working style. She wants things to get done as per agreed deadline. The reason she got angry I think is because the things couldn’t get done and the person who in-charge doing it kept quiet. I think this is not a good working attitude and that’s why she got frustrated.
Of course the dept manager also explained to the mgmt trainee on her expectation and frustration. In the end, she also shared with us her problems (the reps who gave her hectic), got accused by principal/customer. To my surprised, her tears rolling down as she shared. I have not seen such a tough lady like her would cry in front of us. My boss & I were stunned. I don’t know what to say/comment. It was my first experience of watching two ladies crying during appraisal. Phew… after hearing their sharing, looking at my own work problems, it is like nothing. I’ve learned to appreciate what I’m doing and complaint less.

My 2nd Mission - Gym (10.11.08)
I have always wanted to take dancing class as I really like dancing. So one day Calista & I were looking for real dance class somewhere in PJ but couldn't find one. So we thought why not signing up for gym. They have dance classes too and offer different type of dances. And there we go, signing up as a membership with True Fitness. It almost 8 months and so far we only attended one time for the RPM (cycling class). The first experience was unforgettable for us as it is so extreme exhausted. From that class onwards, we felt lazy to go and starting to find reasons.
Until last night, Calista & I give ourselves a chance again to go for Body Jam. My friend told me that the instructor is very good in Body Jam. And true enough, we really enjoyed the dance so much. We even can’t wait for the next class. :-)

Quiet Time
Today I’m still not in the mood of talking or chatting online. Sometimes I felt it’s kind of wasting time spending the rest of my day in front of the laptop just browsing through facebook, friendster, chatting through msn, ym, playing online game or working. Is there none other thing that I can do?
One of my friends posted a link on his daily devotional using “Through the Bible Through the Year” in facebook. Suddenly it recalls me that I have that book too! I remembered I bought this book together with an empty book for us to journal down as we read the book.
I took out the books this morning and flip through what have I jot down previously. As I’m going through it, I felt so guilty and sorry to God. When I bought the book, I was so fire for God that I had my devotional time almost everyday and jot down all the points as I read through the bible. I wrote down my prayers & my views but I cannot believe, it only last me for one month and then I stopped reading it. I gave myself many reasons for not having quiet time with God, such as working, online, outing, etc.
I write blog and I read people’s blog as well. Most of the blog that I read were usually shared about struggles in their life, feeling depressed, hurt, lonely, hopeless and so forth. I felt very pity for them and I have the urge for sharing Christ with them too. Life with God is so great and even if we go through crisis, we will still praise God. I understand as a human being, we definitely have emotion. And do you know emotion can actually blind us? We must get rid of these emotions and there is where we need God.
I am very thankful for my younger sister, Lacerena. She is the one who brought me to Christ. I came from a strong Buddhist family and I’m a very stubborn person. No one can force me to do anything if I don’t want to. Same goes to the religion. No matter how my sis shared with me on Christ, I just don’t want to listen. But because my relationship with my younger sisters was much closed, we always hang out & do things together.
One day Lacerena and I were invited by our colleague for a Christmas party. Although I’m not a Christian and does not know what Christmas is all about, when comes to party, who cares whether I’m a Christian or not, and I just agreed to go. The whole night spending time with those fellows Christian, I watched them. I just couldn’t describe what kind of joy they possessed? I have not seen people who are so joyful, so helpful and so friendly. I enjoyed so much that night.
From that night onwards, my colleague started to invite us to join their care/cell group. Fyi, cell group is a group where a few Christians (10-12 people) gather together once a week to fellowship with each other. Cell meetings may consist of a fellowship meal, communion, prayer, worship, sharing, bible study and discussion.
I joined the cell meeting a few times and finally accepted Christ after hearing one of the touching testimonies from a friend. I was still in doubt after accepting Christ and thinking if I have made a right decision? What happened if my family knows about it? What about my current religion? I felt like I have betrayed my God!
I shared this with Lacerena and she told me not to worry about all these things. Start reading bible and talk to God. If you are still not ready to become a Christian, God will not get angry. He will wait for you. I felt peace when I heard that. Thinking of “wah, your God so good wan ah, I accepted Christ and then don’t want to be Christian also God will not get angry?” Kind of flexible I talked to myself.
So I started reading bible and pray to God. With the help of the cell meetings, I got to know more about God & Jesus. I felt the relationship between me and God is getting closer. Can you believe it? A relationship with God??!! Wow, it’s so cool.
A lot of people don’t understand Christianity. They would think Christianity is boring and restricted by all kinds of rules. It is not!! Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. I did not have this kind of relationship when I was a Buddhist. But when I became a Christian, I know my purpose of life here. Somehow, God has changed my life.
I could not imagine what would I be if I’m not a Christian? I guess, I would be a rebellion child staying out from the family. Whenever I am down or feeling of giving up, I know God is always there for me. He will bring me back to Him when I’m lost.
I have wasted so much of my time this year. I hope it is not too late to get back to God again. I need to plan my time properly especially my quiet time with God.
Till then, it’s Sunday. I pray that everyone would have a great week ahead.

Promises
Today I felt quite moody, doesn’t want to talk much. I don’t know why, maybe something that has been planned did not work out. Feeling of disappointed but it’s okay. I have already used to this kind of feeling. It’s always like that, hoping and eventually disappointed. It has somehow makes me don’t dare to hope anymore because I scared of disappointment again and again. Although I know I may be disappointed if things don’t work out, I still hope and looking forward. Human nature..sigh.. Perhaps I should hope only 40% so I won’t feel that hurt in the end. Haha…
Nowadays it’s so hard to find someone who can keep their promise. I mean even for myself. A lot of time I got so angry with someone who can’t fulfill what they have said or promise. It’s so simple, make a clear statement. Once you say “ok” or “yes” then it is an agreement between you and the other party and you should fulfill what you have said. If you are not sure, say you are not sure and provide alternative solution if possible or just said “No”.
I met a lot of these people (especially sales person whom I worked with) who said can do can do..but then nothing happen. My sis told me those sales people are born to be like that. They always talked nice just to make you feel happy or another word, just to shut your mouth. Well, I really don’t agree. Whether you are sales person or not, you should be responsible of every word you said to the customer or friends. This is how people can put their trust in you.
Of course, people are not perfect. I must confess that I am one of it among the sales person. I have made a lot promises to God but I can’t fulfill it. I know I have disappointed God so many times and yet, He still love me. Shouldn’t I learn from Him, my big hearted God who forgave every sinner? Why am I still holding the grudge then? If I myself cannot do what I’ve promised, then I should have no right to complain about others.
Alright alright…that’s it. I should let go. It’s time for me to list down the promises that I’ve made to God and fulfill it one by one. ;)
Have a wonderful & blessed weekend.

Another Promotion or New Port Folio??
My boss took me in to her room this morning and I thought what big thing has happened? She told me that she is thinking of restructuring where she needs someone to drive the sales management as well as someone to drive the principal care management for the department. She asked me to consider taking up this new portfolio as the leader of principal care management. There will be 2 supply chain executives under my supervision who will in-charged of the daily operation duties. While myself will be overseeing the execs and at the same time explore on some new projects or standardizing the current processes which can improve and bring benefit to the organization.
I was quite convinced with her approached & interested in this new venture and I'm prepared to give it a try. I believe this is a good moving path for me. Anyway, still need to wait for the confirmation from my boss and meanwhile, I can do some homework to brush up myself. As this new portfolio need to meet a lot of principals (potential and current), therefore, I better prepare myself in advance. Gambateh stephy!! ;)

Wei Wei's First Concert (2/11/08)
Here goes another event. It seems like last weekend was full of activities. Stock count followed by dinner with gu gu and attending Wei Wei's concert.. but it's fun. ;)
I thought I will not be able to make it to attend wei wei's concert but thank God, He make my wish come true. My second day of stock count ended at 1pm and wei wei's concert starts at 3pm. I still have time to have lunch with Calista and proceed to Sri KDU to watch my niece performance. Hooray!!!
The concert was very smooth and the kids were just so adorable. Watching at their dancing, I can't help but laugh until end of the concert. I loved children. They are naive, they are honest, they are worry less and they are cute. It makes me recall the time when I was a kindergarten teacher, I helped up the kids for the concert. It was a fantastic experience I would never forget. Being a teacher is always my ambition when I was a kid and I have fulfilled it. But it doesn't stop there, I will continue to be a teacher in the future, probably after I got married or when I grow older.

Stock Count & Birthday (1/11/08 - 2/11/08)
Initially I was very upset that I need to work on weekend for stock count. In the past, our stock count doesn’t end early. I remembered last year the 1st day of stock count, we worked until 9.30pm!! That was really a nightmare to everyone of us. But this time, to my surprised, the 1st day of stock count can end by 6pm!!! And we have also completed the recount on the same day!! All of us were so happy because usually the recount is always the next day.
The warehouse colleagues deserved thumbs up from the management. They really did a very good job in doing the housekeeping, otherwise we will not be able to finish that early.

Coincidently, I have 2 colleagues having their actual birthday on 1st Nov. I remembered last year's stock count also falls on 1st Nov. What a pity. This time we thought of giving them a surprised birthday celebration. I bought a cake (Chocolate Indulgence from Secret Recipe) for Nei Nei and other department bought a cake as well for aunty Luna. So we all sang birthday song to them and both of them were so touched. I felt happy too seeing them enjoying the cakes. :)

My Aunties (Gu Gu) from Spore (31/10 - 2/11)
I finally got time to update my blog. ;)
It was quite a short period of gathering with gu gu cuz I need to work on weekend. We only meet up for dinners but at least I have spent the whole day with them on Friday. Good enough liao..
These aunts were the closest relatives to my dad so far. I don't know why last time I don't have good impression on them but I think the more I get close to them, our relationship is getting better. They are quite funny actually. Man gu likes to talk and she can really talk non-stop. Sam gu is more quiet person. Both of them always travel together and I'm actually quite envy of them. I wonder when my sisters and I grow old, will we be like them, travel around together?
