Update of myself .. .. 28 July 2005

Ok .. sadly but truly I am guilty of being a friend forgetter .. living in a hustle-bustle, work your fingers to your bones, social-benefitless island .. there is such a tendency to focus on the urgent than the important ..

so since I've got a blog now .. just thought that it might be good to give anyone who knows me have a snap shot my current state of life ..

Let's say I'll start with .. hhmm .. my work
*yawn*

WORK ::
I'm currently doing sales. Well .. actual job title :"Regional Marketing Executive". Job-scope: "SALES". Period

The thing I love most (and sometimes least) is the proximity of my workplace. 4-Storeys down the stairs .. 2-minutes walk across the car-park .. 1-Level up with the lift and within 50-steps .. my @ss is on my seat. YES. It is that near. Don't get jealous, coz it was not planned for.
It JUST HAPPENS!

In addition, while I am still asleep on my bed, most of my colleagues are trying to catch a nap in the MRT on the bus. Yes .. such a bum .. and
DAMN BLOODY PROUD of it.

That aside. Other things I love a lot about this job is the fact that it is a start-up by a few of my friends. Being a start up means ::
  • No politics (Where got time)
  • No bureacracy (No 3 mths market research to decide if our forms should use arial or times-roman fonts)
  • No 1000 pages long rules and regulations to follow (Just do everything legal to bring the $$ in)
  • Extremely high level of freedom to act on things that matters
And also .. not to leave out the most crucial element of an ideal environment .. COLLEAGUES .. Well most of us are really highly motivated team-players. Unlike, most intensive sales environment, integrity is an important value amongst us. I've been in a D bank and geesh .. you wouldn't believe how unscrupulously some animals can get. Well, I did not say all of them are bad. But, a piece of crap is enough to stink a whole room .. talk about a lump of it ..

Last, but not least, it's gotta be abt the boss. (Gotta include this .. in case my boss reads this post)

Being in the business of selling conferences and workshops, the TOP is really congruent in their emphasise on training .. .. for us. Really. Most companies of our size, will spend their penny on training last. Cos to them .. it is a mentality of hire .. fire .. rehire .. Well, here .. things are just different.

.. Damn .. writen so much and I m still on work?? Ok .. now u can guess how no-life I m .. skip .. skip .. ..

.. Next .. let's talk about Marital Status .. ..
  • Single
  • Available
  • Not Desperate .. but
  • Always horny.
--The End --
.. haha .. another sign that I m damn friggin no-life ..

.. Leisure ::
Riding .. .. my MTB, I mean .. ..

do some really nice rides to M'sia .. .. some of the pix can be found on my friend's online journal.

To be really honest .. the cycling part is an excuse. The real reason is .. u must haf guessed it .. FOOD .. M'sia is a "food paradise with 1/2 the price" . And some of the best food is found in some of the weirdest places ..

One of my favourite "restaurant" is this van parked along the highway sell the best Lemuang and Rendang. Nap-shot-kari-pok .. it is somewhere between Kota Tinggi or Ulu Tiram.

The other hot-spot is along a slope ( a friggin slope to be exact ) between Kota Tinggi and Mersing .. it is really a pity that I did not have my camera with me for those rides .. or I could have uploaded some .. .. damn .. gotta pepare for next ride and make sure I am fit enough to carry such luxury items like my camera ..

Reading .. no not porno .. porno is not leisure .. it is sheer indulgence

I once thought that reading is over with my finals in NTU .. damn bloody WRONG!! It is only after you start reading that you realise how lil you know .. moving from unconscious incompetency to the level of conscious competency ..

I like reading about personal development books .. fav authors include Dr John C. Maxwell .. Ken Blanchard .. Dale Carnegie .. Robert Kiyo .. well generally that genre of books .. ..

was also trying to pick up Photography once .. but gosh .. see bey gwee .. gotta relak a little on that .. .. ..

and well what else I wanna say .. ok .. betta stop .. getting a lil late liao .. must go and .. do other things ..
