Work

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:51:10 GMT

If you notice, I seldom talk about my fucking work nowadays ever since I left Ipoh Parade.

Well, it makes me feel so fucked up and I don't even bother to mention about that on my blog.

However, today, which I have been under this stress for couple of months, I need a place to release, and here we go..

You might not know what company I'm working for, and I am not going to tell you unless I leave the company one day.

What I can tell is, I'm working in a big corporate in KL, a real big one ok, and they are having like 3000 staff there. I'm working under one of its subsidiaries for its Marketing & Promotions, and I lead the team. I have 1 Junior staff & 1 designer.

So the most fucked up time for my work is, I gonna report to a person that has no clue about 'MARKETING' at all, and every single thing I do, I need to explain to him why I want to do that, and sometimes he will suggest some ideas which doesnt make sense and asked me to do it and propose it to the top management, which at last, i will be scolded being such an idiot to waste time on that unrealistic proposal and i cannot say NO to my immediate superior.

Well, this is not the most difficult part in my job. The most annoying part is, 2 months before I departed the company, a new designer was hired to do all the designing works for the company, including press ad, premium designs, leaflet, brochures, promotion materials, etc. Anything that does with the photoshop or illustrator, the jobs will go to him.

However, this designer has been giving me so much of headache because in fact HE CANNOT DESIGN. He previously worked in a printing company that only handled the output jobs such as taking out the file from the CD given by the clients and proceed with the printing progress, which DID NOT REQUIRE ANY DESIGNING TASKS AT ALL.

I don't blame him for being so new in the industrial, however, my immediate supeior who hired him as a designer should have known clearly the company cannot compromise a designer has no experience or not strong in designing & creativity at all to to take over this position. Plus, he is not paid as a fresh graduate salary. Therefor I want to say, my immediate superior is not only a dumb in marketing aspect, he is also a dumb when hiring a designer not testing his skill & creativity during the interview.

Despite of his(the designer) inexperience, he is neither a hard working person. He will just leave his desk at 6p.m sharp (always) even though the deadline is due. I am okay if he is not skillful because skill can be learnt through training & practicing. However, a person neither can perform nor being commited to the work, is definitely unacceptable.

His irresponsibilites, lack of skill and does not take initiative towards his work has brought me so much of headache!!

I was so frustrated!! And the most frustrating time was when I highlighted this issue to my immediate superior, he thought the person he hired, was doing a great job. Obviously he adored all his designs, which were all rejected by the top management.

So I was stucking in the middle, where I have a lousy designer which has been protected by my boss and I was claimed that I did not lead him properly and did not fullfil my tasks effectively.

I have been stucked in this situation for about 6 months and finally I have a release! the top management has finally hired a person to take over his task from Sales & Marketing. In other words, I don't need to report to him anymore!

Well, I won't know who the person is, but it cannot be any worse than now, and I believe when he looks at the works have been done by the designer, he will definitely feel the same that I do.

This day has finally come, when I look back, I am impressed I am still able to standstill, if it happens 2 years ago, I shall have left the company long time ago. However I put it as a challenge, I wanted to learn not to give up easily when I encoutered problems and I see myself growing from here.

Thanks for reading this, I feel so much better now and I hope the new person who comes in, will bring in hopes to the company too.

Cheers & have a nice weekend!

Australia Part 2 - Gosford

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:43:01 GMT

If you wonder where is Gosford, it is a city located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, approximately 80 km north of the Sydney city.

We took a train down to Gosford from Sydney city to meet up Jody's family.

We stayed in an Inn which still cost about AUD150/night

Gosford is a beautiful & quiet city..

Jody and his brother, Adam.

At night, we met up with his mum, Margaret for dinner in a club. She was shocked when saw Jody in Adam's car because she was not informed of our visit :)

The next day, we visited Reptile Park

Arrhhhhhh!~~~ Help!~~~ Hehehe

At night, we booked a chinese restaurant for Jody's mum's birthday :)

It was a great night!

Went to a mall for a walk, saw few chicks dancing... Hmmm

Jody's brother Adam's stable in Gosford

Found a great roasted chicken in Australia - Red Roaster

Yummy!!~~~

Went to a buffet restaurant at night...

Forgot to mention in my last entry, when we were in Sydney city, we went to the seafood market to have breakfast :)

My breakfast ^^

Ok, that's all for today, will update the next destination - Gold Coast in few more days! See ya!

Australia (Part 1) - Sydney City

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:40:23 GMT

Love Australia!

Because I can wear my boots here & I don’t feel bloody hell hot :)

We have 3 main places to go throughout our trip, first 3 days in Sydney City to meet up his best mates, follow by Jody’s kampong, which is called Gosford to meet up his family, and lastly we will spend our last 5 days in Gold Coast by ourselves.

Super happy and couldn’t wait! Even though it had brought me to 14 days non-stop working days before I went for this holiday. It was worthwhile though.

Anyway, we checked in to Amora Hotel which is located at the Sydney city, was great hotel, but bloody hell expensive.

They even provide the PSP and online services (charges apply of course!)

Everything in this city was expensive, even we were the guests in the hotel, we wanted to park a car in the hotel, we needed to pay AUD35 or AUD45 for valet parking. Crazy, isn’t it?

We went to do some sightseeing and you know me, I love to do stupid stuff in front of the camera…

& also made people to do it! :p

Opera House

Went to Aporto burger for lunch

Their chili burger is sensational!

Went to the liquor shop…

Started to bar up in the noon, well, it was our holiday!

Had dinner with Jody’s best mates, Nathan & Cloudio.

The dinner cost AUD400 for 4 persons, which was more than RM1200! Having fine dining in Australia is shocking after converting to our Ringgit :O

The next day, we woke up late and went for lunch with Jody & his long known friends in a Chinese Restaurant, which is owned by one of his friends there.

Most of the Chinese food I have in western countries are too salty, I think because Mat Sallehs love them salty, you could see they love the food!

After that, we went to Darling Harbour

There was a show, she was great!

Awesome!

After the show, we proceeded to the Aquarium

Aquarium premium shop

High 'tea' time

The baby loves the beer :D

After the tea, we went to China Town

Pink restaurant in China Town :)

We also walked along the street to explore more 'interesting' stuff :D

White cxxt with black big cock :D

At night, we went for a buffet, another shocking dinner with its price!

Entrees

It is like the Brazillian buffet style, they served us variety of meat such as chicken, lamb, beef, prawn, sausages, etc.

Very fulfilling night, but went home with empty wallet :(

Ok, I shall stop here and the part 2 of the Australia trip shall be in Jody's kampung :)

Hello

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:40:43 GMT

Greetings from Queensland, Gold Coast here!!

Here is 2 hours ahead from Malaysia, and I believe most of you guys have just got ready for dinner or just finished while I already had it at 5pm Malaysia time.

It was shocking as I have been waken up 7am in Malaysia time in Gold Coast or 6am M'sia time in Sydney which I not even done it when I work in KL.

Anyway, got up early for holiday is another issue and it has been fun & wonderful to be here.

I hope the holiday never ends and guess what, I not even have one bit of dizzy or whatever discomfort here. Well, I think I should have considered to quit my job, it has brought me too much of hassles & pressures.

Ok, I will update when I come home. Have a nice day!

I Don't Like Sneakers! I Don't Like Sneakers! I Don't Like Sneakers!

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 14:22:46 GMT

Ok, there is nothing wrong with sneakers, sometimes I pass by some shops selling some nice sneakers, they do attract my attention...

but........

I am too short for that!!! -_____-

You see bebe had to band down because I was wearing a sneakers during our HK trip last year. I looked like a midget!! We know that high heels is not a good idea for a trip which requires lots of walking..

BUT......... see what I've found!!?? ^_^

It's a high heel comfort shoes from Crocs, even though it is the most expensive shoes that I had ever bought, I am happy I can still be pretty and tall in Australia! :)

Yahoooo!! :D :D

Ok, I haven't packed my luggage yet. Gonna go now. Good bye and see everyone 2 weeks later! :)

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:32:02 GMT

Attended a wedding dinner last month in KL Hilton with Jody.

It was beautiful!

Food was nice, surprisingly! Non-alcohol & alcohol drinks were served constantly.

Service was perfect.

Many Friends Visit!

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:27:25 GMT

Yea, month of September is happening! We have few friends who come from Australia, New Zealand & Macau for their leisure or work trip in KL.

It was great to spend time with them, they are funny & easygoing.

First of all, we have Grant here from N.Z. He stays here for 1 month for his work. His nick name is Ice Man. When he first knows you, he won't talk so much to you; Gradually, when we know each other more, HE STILL NOT TALK TOO MUCH! HOwever, if he likes you, he will smile a lot and you can see his kindness from his eyes. Very interesting person & I love to tell him joke to make him smile :)

Follow by Brent(The black shirt), he flew down from Macau for his work here.

One thorn with roses or one rose with many thorns? :)

Aaron with his beautiful gf from Australia, he will stay here for couple months for work.

Last but not least, Nathan from Australia, he came here for leisure and he is Jody's buddy since they were kids. They did many crazy & naughty staff last time back then, I bet they must have lots of good funny memories. We called him Mad Nathan, because he is a real mad person! EG: He took off his pants with only his undies in a mall to try on a pants. WTF!!

You guys must have heard about how big & grand is the Bintang Palace or Deluxe or Vegas in KL, right? We were in this Bintang Palace couple weeks ago invited by some bosses.

Big luxury decorated room with big LCD screen.

Nice pool table

Grand wall sculpture

I heard it costs RM20k per night.....-_-

Photos taken by my sohai Sony compact, bad quality, thinking of sell off my Sony compact and get a Fuji. My DSLR sometimes is too bulky to carry to a pub or club. People might think I am a reporter or parazzazi... (Yes it did happen once in Penang last month)
