Car Crashed Again

I didn't know that I could be this clumsy. I crashed my car last year September, and I was already thinking that is the worst thing ever happened as I crashed my car for the second times since I got my car 5 years ago. It's like an average of one accident for 2.5 years.

Today, I manage to crash it again totally due to my careless and absence minded. I was feeling blur blur since I have slight headache and I was just recovered from yesterday fever this morning. I didn't notice the pillar in front of my, just at the blind spot of my right hand side, and I turn my gear to 'D' and it crashed gently to the pillar.

My heart smashed with the crash and I felt that is the most stupid thing I ever done and the clumsiest. This all happened in during this Chinese New Year, what a bad sign. It's the worst luck ever that I can get and there it goes all my ang pow money. Well, I only manage to get somewhere around RM200++. To fixed my car, I think I need more than that.

I will go on an official broke category again very soon after paying off the car repair bills and any other bills that coming my way soon. Not to forget that I need to settle all my credit cards bills. Now, I wonder how nice if my company pays out bonus and give me a pay rise. Well, all this can be dream but reality still reality.

I just think that thank God that there is still people I can rely on and ask for help. Without them, I think it is even harder for me to handle all this stress. So, I think I still should thank Him keeping me unharmed and physically safe all these accidents that happened to me. I would still love to praise Him for that. But if can, Lord, please do easy on me the next time you test my faith. Hehe. Just kidding.

Car Accident and Shean Ming & Lit Teng's Wedding Dinner

Yesterday consider a bad day for me. The rain cause so much trouble. Because of the rain, there is not many people come to KLCC. It's pretty sad to see Malaysian doesn't care about the environment, or even so, they care more about their pocket. Can't blame them.

I've in grown nail on one of my toe and it doesn't recover for the past 3 weeks. Been seek for doctor advice but I was only given antibiotic. I think I've to seek the doctor again. It's damn painful.

To make my day worst, I had an accident. I wasn't driving fast but I lost control over my car because the road is slippery. Partly my fault, I think my trees are not having enough air and I was thinking to pump it when I get the petrol station later. Who knows, accident happened.

I'm luckily that I'm physically fine. No damage to my body by my car is in very bad shape. Well, I think my car span for one round before it stopped. I was scares to death.

Ironically, I've to attend one of my ex-course mate's wedding dinner at that time. So after I've log a police report at the police station with the help of my brother to settle most of the stuff with the police, I went home.

Well, anything regarding to my car, I'll refer to my brother since he is a car mechanic and he has those relationship with those call man, I'll let him help out. If not, I think I'll pretty blur.

To attend the wedding dinner, I actually borrow a car from my uncle. I wonder how am I have the guts to drive just after an accident. Well, I did it too and back in one piece.

So Lit Teng's wedding was great. We have fun with meeting up some of our ex-course mates and catch up a little bit of their doings. We had some beers and crap a lot. It's really fun.

Well, I've to back to reality. Although I know that I can claim my car insurance, I'll have no more NCB for it. My next car insurance renewal will cost me a bomb. Well, worst is that I've to renew it next 2 weeks. I've to pay summon and etc., and that cost me too.

Worst, I'll have a few weeks time without a car. How am I going to go to work? My office, there ain't any public transport that I can use. No LRT, bus and even taxi won't want to fetch me there. It too far. I'm having the headache at first. Thank God that my uncle willing to lend me his car temporally. Hopefully, he won't want it back before I get my car back.

I'll be flying off on 23rd this month, so I'll at least need a car for this 2 weeks. By the time I get home, hopefully I'll be able to get back my car. But seriously, it's pretty painful to see your own car at the state. I've attached some photo of my car.

IGEM 2011

I've been at Internatioal GreenTech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2011, at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) for 4 days, exhibiting my company's eco-products. The response is not to say bad but the flow of people is not at good as last year, the first IGEM organised.

It's held at KLCC on 7th to the 10th of September 2011 and I've been the first one to be at the exhibition for the last 3 days. So I'm the one who start up the booth or 'buka kedai'. 'Tutup kedai' past 3 days also I'm doing it alone. Felt like I'm the 'kuli' already.

This exhibition is good to know more about the green technology and green products available in the market. Well, not all are relevant to end user or consumer like us. Green cars, like hybrid car from Toyota or Proton, and even Panasonic also have their eco car. Cool right? I never thought of it also.

Others will be those green lighting, solar energy, rain water harvesting, wind energy harvesting, organic food, organic clothing, biogreabable plastic, bioplastic, oxo-degradable resin, eco paint, eco wood, eco building, etc.

Working Life - Greatpac Sdn Bhd

Reading back on my previous blog, I realized that I did not blog as often as I used to be. I blog more than 10 blogs about my previous job in AIA Shared Services Sdn Bhd than I blog about my work at Greatpac Sdn Bhd. It's not that nothing happened at my current job. Perhaps I don't have that leisure to blog as often as I used to be. I think I will try to spare some time to blog more if I could.

Looking back, I have been working with Greatpac for a year already. It's the longest duration that I serve a company at this moment. I guess for my division, I'm considered the senior person already except for my senior manager, who happens to be my best friend (Douglas) and my brand manager, Shaun. For for executive level, I will be soon the most senior person after Jia Yee left.

When I joined the company on July 2011, Douglas was the export manager and Shaun is still the brand manager. Of course Douglas is the head of department of my division, JASA Eco. There were a senior executive, Sherman, and an intern named Bryan. On September, Sherman leaves us and followed by Bryan, replacing by a new intern named Cheston.

Early this year, Cheston leaves us and we joined by Shirah, the new sales coordinator on May 2012. She is to assist us, mainly me for our main customers and some other coordination tasks. Sad to hear that Jia Yee is planning to leave us too. So, I think I'll be the most senior person soon in my division. LOL.

Working in Greatpac is stressful in some extent. It's no longer like finishing up your quota for clearing up cases like I used to do in AIASS, but to make sales. Lots of decision need to be make and to be executed in order to make sure the company is running and surviving.

Well, I don't think I can share so much about the insight of the company as it's shall be confidential and proprietary. I'll share more on other issues. In conclusion, there is so much work to do.

Despite loaded with work, I do make some friends in the company. Most are very nice but maybe I just can't get along with so much with all of them. They are definitely elder than me. Those around my age also I didn't manage to make much a close colleagues as I used to at AIASS.

I have no idea how with that kind of relationship with my colleagues, it can still spread rumors of me, trying to date someone in my company. That girl is just a new colleague that happen to be nice to talk with. Seriously there is no way I will fall for her.

I felt like primary school again, those colleagues are like little kids, love making up story and match making you with anyone that you are close with. Luckily they didn't match me with my boss, as I'm pretty close with him. LOL.

I Lost My iPhone

It's the worst day of the month for me. The precious iPhone that has been with me more than a year finally been kidnap by someone idiotic yet brainless people. Its my mistake that I left my phone in the first place. However, I quickly went back to the restaurant where I left my phone just 10 minutes I left the place, and it's gone.

I was hoping in the first place, I left it there, those staff might help me to keep it and give us back if we look for it later. I wasn't so worried in the first place. I tracked it with MobileMe.com, and it shows that my phone is at the exact same spot where I took my lunch today. So I went back and asked, and the answer I got was none of them realize there is a phone when they clean up the table.

WTF! I'm shocked. Maybe I have a good impression that such restaurant like Dragon-i or Tony's Roma, where the staff will return customer's belonging that they left behind. I had such experience before. Dragon-i's staff actually chase out to past me back my wallet and Tony's Roma's staff keep and return my phone when I claimed it bak from them.

This Wong Kok Restaurant at Sunway Giza is my nightmare or should I say it's not my Zen area. It always seems something is wrong there, and today is the worst scenario for me. I started tracking my phone since then via MobileMe.com, an application from Apple to track the location of your Apple products. It keep on showing the location of Sunway Giza and I'm able to call my phone without fail but no one is picking it up.

I use MobileMe.com to send a message to my phone to tell that someone to contact me as I'll reward him for giving it back to me. However, nothing comes back. I'm already have a bad feeling for it. I went back to that place to ask again the staff as I'm seriously want my phone back, not because it's an iPhone but all my information, data, company email, personal email, plans, contacts, etc. are all there. It's really troublesome to retrieve it back.

I can still track my phone when I'm already home. It's only after past 10.00pm, I can't track it and I couldn't manage to call my phone anymore. So I'm strongly believe that the staff took it, although I can't prove it. Now, I'm facing a great challenge and financial constraint. I'll have to get a new phone, barred my cellular provider service and get a replacement SIM card, and live with the fact my phone is gone.

It's very inconvenient when you depend so much on your iPhone on those amazing applications (where you call it apps in short). I'll have to start tracking back all my friends' contact number, emails, birthday (which is the hardest cause you would ask your friend their contact number along with their birth date), etc.

Well, I believe I'll lost some of my old pals or old colleagues contacts forever if they don't have Facebook or any way for me to contact with them with. Especially those friends that you didn't contact them for ages, those are the hardest to retrieve back. I guess only fate can bring us back together and/or get contacted again.

In conclusion, I'm just have another worst day of my life, follow with loads of troublesome yet pain sticking things to do in order to get back my life in order (to have a phone again) and my salary this month will be gone. I think I'm doomed. Lord, thank you for all the hard time you have given me to learn to be strong. However, I need more of your blessing and love than all this unpleasant experience. I'm already broke.
