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.

Perception of Love

What do we all know about love? I believe it's a complex feeling and emotion that each of us will encounter. Either it's the love from your family members or from your friends and even someone that you just know, not to mention God himself (except those atheist people). I would say love is a good thing yet it can also bring disaster.

Love from family and friends are very common to everyone already. In fact, all sort of love also we kind of familiar and even experiencing right at this moment. However, I would like to share my thoughts about love in term of relationship with someone totally not blood related to you. Well, friends fall in this category. Perhaps I'll talk about common love relationship.

For this topic, I think the song sung by Anita Mui and Jackie Cheung really explain a lot about relationships that occurs in many people's life. I personally feels that the chorus talks a lot about lots of people's relationship. I've attached the YouTube video clip here for listening and for reference.



As you can see, at the chorus part of the song, it mentioned that if loving someone over the limit in the relationship, the couple can tends to enemy and hating each other if the relationship doesn't work out the way they expected it to be. To love each other is really difficult. The difficulty lies in each party has their own expectation, and it's really depends on both party to tolerate and to make the relationship viable and sustainable.

Other than that, simply just to love someone is not easy either. Even just to received someone's love that is considered one sided. There is no way those love can return or repay. Those guilt that builds up and you probably will never able to solve it. If you love someone, it also may not return the way you want it to be.

To choose not to love is not too difficult. Unless you are Buddha that can reach enlightenment or perhaps like those monks that you will not be able to get attach with desires. Other than that, I think it's impossible to suppress your feelings. If you like to ignore love also not that simple. The responsibility or empathy to cherish someone important in your life makes life more difficult to control.

The moral of the story, if you found someone that you love, tell them how much you love them before it's too late. Try your best to cherish each other and makes this life the fullest. No matter how, to love is not easy yet challenging, but not to love is even more difficult and sad. Hope everyone will found that someone worth loving.

Life Will Never Get Better If Without Faith

It's really a journey of life when you have a faith to rely on no matter what happened or going to happen in your life. It's definitely not an easy path but guarantee you will find peace with it. With faith, things eventually goes better in the future or somehow you will find it accommodating.

I'm relying on something that far greater in strength, far more wiser and powerful to help me go through things that I have no idea how to solve it. I just hope things eventually will find it's way to the solutions.
