what I do

These are my babies, they puke paper, sometimes got color, sometimes, no color. When the paper cannot come out, they cry. That's where my job comes in, to "burp" this big baby. Sometimes, it requires a little patience, other times, luck~

but thats not my main job, i do........to be continued

Commitments

Busy Busy Busy

there is a sense of urgency to accomplish the short assignment the boss gave, to give proposals to innovate the work processes. the more I think about what to type for the proposal....

blank~

and then I did my 10 mins meditation~
I know that the meditation I'm may not be the actual one, nevertheless, it helps me to be focused and to calm my nerves.

Finally gave a few ideas on the innovation part, let's see how it goes~

Lead You, Lead Me~

16 June 09
Woke up determined to go for a 20 min jog, woke up slightly earlier than usual, 635am. There was no doubt in my mind that I want to jog for that 20 mins, checked the net for any updates on FB, hotmail, then I went out to jog.

2 days ago, I got an invitation from my boss to lead a small group (something never done before in our dept). I will be one of 3 other leads from workshop. I was honoured to be chosen, but somehow, I'd expected it. One time, when the big boss of my dept asked the crowd to speak out, no one volunteered. I thought to myself, why is everyone not doing anything. Then I asked MYSELF, why I am not doing anything?! I summoned the confidence and courage and spoke out, stood out and shared my experience of what the company is to me.

TOday, I was told briefly about what we're supposed to do as team leads. My team will
have to work on Demo machines, roughly put, photocopiers placed in customer's office as a trial machine. The details will entail tomorrow morning.

There will be an AW Advance selection tomorrow, which coincides with the company's bi-monthly meeting. Want to go but buts are holding me back. Intention not strong enough. Will work it out. Choose the best option.

And today was "the new small group's" first small group meeting~! Met at Jaya One. Discussed the guidelines for the next 3 months. Keep the spirit of LP going on, felt happy, grungy, and told myself, this is what I thrive in. Experience this feeling and empower myself. And then all of a sudden i got elected as group captain ,all the responsibilities on one go. Keep breathing~

One thing I've learnt today is to keep track of my progress on a day-to-day basis, which is why I'm planning to keep this blog as an electronic journal.

Goals are an everyday motivation, the checkpoint for every goal, is at the end of each day. It is only then will one know what to do next.

Woke up telling myself I needed to finish the Modern Workshop asked by Woon (boss).

Asked boss for his email so I could send it by email, since I was asked to go direct to customer's place.

 

I had to go direct to customer's place, which was a Petrol Station, in Jln Cheras. The place was behind the store room, smelt like something had died in there. The PIC was not there, came after me, so I had to demo the machine to this cute malay girl with fake colored eyes~@.@

Next, I had a dilemma, a call came in to check up on a machine which I had been there only a few days ago. The problem was that the machine was noisy. Here comes dilemma, the fact I knew it was noisy the first time I was there, but I didnt log the call made it even more gut-wrenching. Somehow, me conscience told me to take responsibility and go for the call but on the other hand I felt guilty for not addressing the matter initially. Making 2 call trips just because the 1st time I felt lazy is just not an excuse. Well, I'm not going to bash myself, I did the best I could at that point of time. What's going to be different is that I will at least check or, forward the case.

Before I went for that "noisy" call, I had to attend to an Installation call, which was a tedious one, something new for me. Install Re-Rite onto customer's PCs. This company is selling cars. Went to see the IT guys, nice chaps, friendly too. Seeing them "work" looks kinda fun too, always on FB, when people in the building needs PC-related installation/troubleshooting, they are there. Got to learn a few things from them too~ Services~ and they used this program, where we recorded what I said and do on the PC, so that they could refer to the installation after I've left. The program was damn cool~ I recorded the step by step instructions on how to install the Re-Rite program using a mic~CAMSTUDIO, wicked~!

On the way back home, experienced the KL jam. With my iPod, any jam is bearable :D

Tired from the week, I thought it might be a great idea to start my meditation. Learnt a lot from the 10 mins on spent.

aik?

wow~ its been so long since I've written anything on this blog

updates:

- finished my LP

- TeleDynamics Rookie of the Year

- bonus soon~

- new small group~ :D

- now helping to organize AW-lympics

- nxt level of Mandarin classes starting soon

I'm half-banana, half-malay

Yesterday (friday) , I was doing my calls around KL, and I get this quite often, especially with matured- Malay women. The question they asked: " Kamu ni Melayu ke, Cina?" . LOLx. And my reply was always: "Cina". I got 2 different person asking the same question yesterday. A few other times previously.  :P

And then I thought to myself, am I really Chinese? I don't know how to speak Mandarin, only broken-Canto, mostly English and Malay to my Malay friends.  Now, I know what I need to do, I MUST LEARN MANDARIN. Not as a selfish personal goal, but more of a need to feel my roots and to connect with Mandarin-speaking people (not everyone speaking Mandarin is Chinese, k)

Actually, I know a few Mandarin words, I've been to classes before, but I never really utilize it because I was afraid ppl might misunderstand what I said and dont ask for clarification. It would make me embarrassed to go on talking with them not understanding...if u know wat i mean....

So, I've made a commitment to LEARN and PRACTISE Mandarin~ yea~ so I need all of ur support~!

TQTQ,

After Advance experience

Well, well, well, Im pretty much excited after finishing my Asiaworks Advanced course. To me, the advance was all about letting go and knowing who I am. The few adjectives which would best describe my experience are SPONTANEITY, PASSION and RESPONSIBILE. I have to constantly challenge myself to outdo myself in every aspect. The one person I would really want to thank is Diane who never gave up on me an enrolled myself. And trust me when I said that I was a resistant fighter~ haha~ everything she said, I tried to deny it~ but in the end, I went ALL IN~ gave a 100%, experienced the program and it made me realized a lot of things I took for granted. 

Every day is a new challenge. Think of it as an opportunity to create something good.  Be all that you can ~

With love and respect,

2nd post CNY/goodbye/asiaworks

Well, its been another week, a tough one indeed. CNY and cousin sis' wedding. Angpows, angpows, angpows,,,,ahh...missed the smell of new money.  However, the money seems insignificant now tat im working~.Nevertheless, extra pocket money is good too. They say the economy is in recession, less angpow. Not really. Same as last year wut...(for me ler). & the gambling...aiya....not so good this year. Lost money. . . but its ok. my idea of playing is tat if i cannot afford to lose, i wont play. i set an amount im willing to lose, so no hard feelings after losing. winning is a blessing. 

Took 2 days off last week, there goes another two days annual leave (less money on claims). went to work bck on friday, which made me felt kinda good, must earn my pay, the company's paying alot of a simple job like mine. Taking another 3 days leave for my asiaworks training. @@ there goes 5/8 days of my annual leave.....

almost two weeks ago, i broke up wif my former girlfriend. its not been a moment tat i hav not thought abt her, its like every little thing i do, i see, i hear, keeps on reminding me of her.  its bad.  i know. i need to move on. but it's hard. "move along, move along like i know u do ~"

tmrw is my asiaworks advance course. kinda excited to meet up wif frens. but more than ever i want to c those r those willing to pay so much money to join this course ( yea, like im not one myself) :P well, i can honestly say tat the basic was an eye-opener. made me realize a lot of things abt myself. yet, there is stil a reluctance in me to push myself, it is because of the "event" which caused me to slump. i wanna just breakdown. but NO~ im gng to move forward. hope the adv course can help me help myself then. 

until the nxt time~BYE
