Michaelangelo's Restaurant-Deli-Bar

I went with my colleagues to Michaelangelo's Restaurant-Deli-Bar at Pavilion, KL on Saturday and an outing with our senior, Ruth before she is leaving us next week. Since Ruth was thinking to have Western food, we thought to let our taste buds experience the so "artistic restaurant". However, the experience we had were not that up to what we expected from a so-called fine restaurant which located at Pavilion, which should be way better than those cheapskate restaurants.

The food there is pretty normal, some are not bad, some are quite good, and some are just not so up to my expectation. Since my most of my colleagues think that is okay, then I should not make much complaints about it. For me, I wouldn't promote to you as it's not that really appealing but it's no harm trying. The food there is still edible and some are not bad.

However, the service there was horribly poor and I did comment on that. The supervisor came to us and appologised yet giving us some complimentary cash voucher for the next visit as they are so keen for us to revisit them again. For me, I might reconsider of revisiting it again. As for my senior, she might most likely to revisit as we gave her all the vouchers. LOL.

Changes in My Company

Lately, too many stuff happening around me. Many involve with emotional issues. I doubt if there are more to come and will I able to cope with all that. As I can see, I'm a very well emotional guy and I'm the people kind of guy (just like what my senior said when she gave us a piece of advise during the meeting), I know I will get affected definitely.

Yesterday, my colleague, Li Teng just left our company. After the lunch, we had a meeting and we were announced that my senior, who is the one that I am tag to since I join this company is leaving for a better offer in another company. I do get the shock of her leaving so soon and yet so short notice. Well, that company is willing to pay to get her to work with them as soon as possible. I'm happy for her having a better opportunity and I do think that we all will definitely miss her. I just didn't expect she will be leaving before me even thought I do felt that she is leaving too.

Soon, after my senior, Ruth is gone, Nesa will be going off 2 days before I'm leaving my company. There will be new blood coming into our company soon. I heard from my manager, there will be 3 new recruits. However, thinking of the freshies, they will have no authority to approve any amount of claims in the early 2 months or so. It will be really hectic to the rest of us (of probably a month for me since I'm leaving for good too soon).

I can't imagine our company, or perhaps just my team right now can have so much changes in just a week time. Of course if you take a look in this past few months, there are many changes. However, the changes for now is much more emotional, more intense for me. All I can think of right now is to stay focus for this one month and one week before I start to settle myself into new company effectively on July. Lord, please give me strength to keep on moving forward.

Changing of New Environment Soon

Finally, I have tendered my resignation from my current employment at AIA Shared Services Sdn Bhd this week. I think I will definitely miss all the good time I have from this company depsite the pay and some other issues. It does took me quite some time to think over the matter of resigning and jump onto some other unfamiliar work field.

The day I tender my resignation letter, my team leader was like so blurred and not having the mood to talk more about it. He refers my letter to my manager and she was shocked that I plan to leave the company. She never thought that I would (maybe I have the look "I'm not leaving soon") and she gets a little bit emotional since many of us in my team are planning to leave. Not to mention my senior specialist who always being helpful to me was surprise over my decision to leave too.

Well, since I have better offer and yet the work nature of my current job is kind of stagnant compare to the new job I am offered now, which is far more challenging I would say. I am starting to worry that I might now able to work my best and thrive in the new company. That will be my concern right now.

Thinking of it now, I really will miss most of my colleague and seniors that helps me a lot throughout my term in the company. Well, I felt like I talking as if I am leaving tomorrow. In fact, I still need to serve two months notice before I can leave. I am waiting that stupid HR to sent me my exit interview schedule and my last day of term in the company.

I am thinking how will I be getting along with new colleagues there soon. In my current company, we are like friends and we tag along kind of like a family. We chit chat, gossips, play and eat together at times. I wonder how is the new environment will lead me. Will I feel more lonely at new company, new environment? Till then only I will know.

Waltz Friendly Match At Fitness First, IOI Mall

My gym had organised a small ballroom competition yesterday. It was really fun. It't not those official kind of ballroom competition or else, I will be definitely out of the game in the first round. LOL. However, I think by organising such event really helps us to enjoy ourselves and know where we are standing. The most important is I think it will help us to improve ourself.

We started with 9 pairs of us if I'm not mistaken. Every round we dance, the bottom two pairs will have to leave us. Anyway, since it's not an official dance competition, it's just a small friendly match kind of thing, there is not winner or loser. We just ended up competing for the best three pairs. So there are 3 rounds of Waltz to dance. Below is the photo we took together after the competion. Too bad not all the girls there, but all the guys are there. LOL.
Personally, I think everyone putting quite a lot of effort to this friendly match and everyone is a winner since we all have the guts to compete with each other. The match began with the ladies draw the name of the male partner from the male pool list. It's a random selection so that we can dance around with different people yet improving ourselves together.

Maggie, Kelvin's wife picked me up. So I will be her partner for the competition. Well, she is really a good in Waltz. I think she dances better than me a lot and thanks to her helping me up at the dance floor. LOL. I think your both the male and female play a very important role togehter to make the dance a success. It's mutual understanding, respect, and toleration that need to be taken place in order to make it look good.

So I guess I'm lucky to be in the final 3. Well, I guess I do remember my steps kind of well. I think I did very minimal mistake on the steps, maybe the pose and the expression is kind of hard to control since I don't practise often. Imagine it I only dance once a week, two at most at the gym. It's not that I dance quite often at those dance school or stuff. It's really something for me, I mean the experience. Anyway, below is the photo of the best three pairs, of course including me myself. LOL.
