One step at the time

2009-03-28T20:10:00.002+11:00

YES, another step to achieve my new year resolution.

Not a six figure yet but it will be eventually. By then, I can cross the new year resolution.

Had the mid week PDT and it's pretty interesting guest speaker , one of them is Jack Daly (http://jackdaly.net/) . He mentioned that if you want to achieve any goal , the simplest step you can take is "PUT IT IN WRITING" . I found out this is so TRUE...... what I did write last year and I achieved it.

I guessed when you writing it , you kinda put some effort and commitment towards it! It gives you a direction on what you should do. He said the next step will be break into the small little action that you can measure on with specific deadlines.

Deadlines is a MAD key word in all corporate history , do you know WHY?

Without it , ppl won't have sense of urgency and just take their time. In the environment where all been measured by profit and cost , it just doesn't add up if you work without deadlines.

Imagine this happens :

You've been given 3months to finish the assignment , what most ppl will do ?
I bet you know the answer , waited for 2 1/2 month before started to look into it. How's inefficient ?
If you have only 1day to finish it , you'll definitely start it ASAP.

I always think that my life is my own corporation. I am running my own so-called "board of director" as to what I will decide in my life . I created my own sense of urgency and deadlines on achieving my goals.

Miss Him so Much

2009-02-28T09:55:00.003+11:00

It has been two weeks since I came back from the holiday.

Life pretty hectic since then , workload is getting more and more by the day that including my catch-up work. Got to finish the work late all day. The impact : GF is not happy!!!

Adjusting the sleep at the first couple of day is hard , I think this is the very 1st time I had jetlag.

I guessed all of this are the downsize having a well-earned holiday.

Talkin' about the holiday. It has been a great one tho It could be better without spent half an hour in the emergency unit in the hospital 'coz the food poisoning. The other thing was the "A" Plan is not working out as I wanted before I left.It's kinda sad but I think it was a reality check for me to be a better man! I'll make it happen next time arround.

The one that I realized that I spent more time with my family this time than my previous holiday. It's kinda nice in a way! I played with my little nephew who I really MISS-ed dearly. The way he tried to speak and how he pretended crying so one of us can pick him up from the baby walker. I missed the way he laughed ....... very very....genuine. I took tons of his pictures.

Miss U little Ben!

Another day in the sauna

2009-01-23T09:48:00.000+11:00

Hell man!

My branch's aircon was break down for 1week already, shitt ass! With the sweltering temperature in summer ,it's aint good idea to stay long time there.So?

I choose to do my ritual in casino than doing it in the branch. Hahaha,its cooler down here.

Today is my last day in the office before 3week holiday in indo. Jetting tomolo to merlion city and i'll be float arround in the airport like the terminal movie for 6hours.So my next post will be from there!

Adios!

2 Faces

2009-01-15T22:04:00.002+11:00

Yeah , I can be two faces sometimes.

Pride? most likely that caused all this trouble!

Im at the point of no return!! Confused !! Was it my fault ? Was it scapegoat I can blame on?

God please help me! My left brain wanna do the right thing - my right brain wanna just decided something that changing my life!

WHICH one?

The law of relativity is kicking in! Or Should I use the law of objectivity?

DAMMM...............

New Year Resolution

2009-01-11T01:07:00.002+11:00

Yes............another year to get my new year resolution.

I set myself with high standard on this year resolution, some ppl think it can be "TOO NAIVE " but I think it is " OPTIMISTIC".

Okay , Let me start then:

1. OBVIOUSLY ,the left behind '08 resolution, buying my 1st property regardless if my other half doesn't want it! Its my CHOICE.

2. Getting my bonus this financial year - It should be the FAT $$$ one !!

3.Aiming for another promotion by September or my boss giving a pay rise to say the least. I am aiming for six figure salary package by the end of the year. *AMEN - all my smart and hard work will lead there sooner than later*

4.Going for holiday with all of my family whether in Indo or some part of this continent.

5. Married?(*#&$*()&@^%^ in the balance - if everything sweet , they shall happen this year!

6. Oh...oh.... lastly , I will try to find my GOD - I'll find this is the hardest out of all . I found that you need a place to rest your soul , sometimes you find that money and love is not enough to be happy in your life. That what I found out a couple of time last year.

As a person , I will :
*. Be more receptive with the constructive suggestion and advise.

*. Be more SELF DRIVEN not rely on something or someone - I know what I want out of my life and I'll drive myself go to that finishing road.

*. Be more decisive - I'll make a decision by the same day with proper thinking obviously.

*. Be more caring with my family and friends - "YES YONG, you gotta call them regularly NOT when you need them" .

*. Be more engaged with the people around you - building up more networking day in day out.

One year ago........

2008-12-31T20:43:00.003+11:00

3hours to the new year

I could see people said how great HE was .....
I chatted with the people who were real life witness on HIM.....
I listened to the touching story I never heard or knew before about HE changed their life....
I shook their hand who said sorry but grateful that HE lived his life to the fullest....

At the hours that changed my life for the better

Crowd started to leave to spend their 00.00 hours with their loved one....
Main road outside swarmed by party reveler...........
Car honking......
Trumpet singing..........
Firework blasted over the dark sky............

At the 2nd hours of new year

Took the bow at HIS glorious and smiling picture ,
The two gesture that hadn't shone through HIM in the past two years..........
I knew HE left us for the better in the upcoming year.........
I believed HE has changed a lot of our character and our approach toward life ahead......

For this I want to say I love you and miss you dearly.....

Thank for came by in my dream three time this year and kept teach me how to live the life to the fullest.

Hope you have a good rest "over there" !!!

Love you,

Your son

Blog title ?(@#(!#$$)_!_

2008-12-23T18:36:00.001+11:00

I think i have to change the title of this blog. It seems that I did my post from the place that no other blogger do it ; toilet @ casino and NOW accupunture clinic.

Yes , you heard it right.Accupunture clinic! My rolled ankle from the misery basketball night two week ago still hasnt fully recovered so time to call my 'accupunturist'-i dont know whether its the right word, into the action.

What I'm feeling now? Fully electrocuted with these needles hanging on my achillies and ankle. I think I posted the picture how it looked like before.

Said enough abt this torture!

Work? It getting quiet now,i think ppl going out for the holiday already.

Man, i really trully bored at work.I am just been lazy to do anything eventho pile of compliance need to be done. Festive season what do you expect , holiday mood.

Okay , I gotta go now ,my accupunturist came back already.He gonna start 2nd round of torture.lol ;p

Wish you a Merry xmas peps!

5 sleeps to christmas

2008-12-19T14:42:00.000+11:00

Another week gone.

So what i gonna do till xmas?

1.Xmas dinner with my team tonight , guessed what we gonna have ? Indian food is our fave pick. Not a fave one for me today though considering im sitting in the casino toilet.U know what im doing?hahaha.

2.Xmas shopping for the team and xmas kringle on sunday.Economy a little bit tough so i just gonna get something reasonable and useful for the team.'old school mode on'

3. Xmas lunch at diana's place.Looking forward for this one since its kinda re-union of all the old team,including my ex bosses.Havent seen everyone for ages.I gotta bring my EOS since there will be a lot of pro over there.

Alright , my time is up here.All been flushed and time for luncheon.

Have a great and safe xmas to everyone out there.

I hate you BUT I love you

2008-12-15T22:00:00.003+11:00

Copy the image from Axioo website

It is so true about this image, sometime you have to see from different angle / perspective.

I guessed it shows "How do you perceive one on another in your life ? " - It's kinda the Half full and Half empty glass analogy.

I remembered once I hate my parent decision but looked it back through now. I can see how they actually loved my so much with that decision. Somehow , It took a while for young naive brain to get it!

"Open your mind with flow of ideas and perspective , you'll treasure the wisdom"

Start of the weekend

2008-12-13T08:31:00.000+11:00

Sent the car to be fixed at kingsford.

Waiting time started at McD ''family resto'' - luckyly they got the free wifi with ''generous limit'' of 50mb, a very very rare thing in Sydney.Bloody crappy network here in oz , even worse than indo i supposed.

Enough saying how bad free wifi overhere.

It's pretty interesting to have breakie in McD in the morning.A cup of hot capucinno with one equal sugar and listening to 2days Fm.

I see ppl fight for the death to get the weekend paper provided to the extent the old folk in front of me run to the counter to grab it.Funny hey?

I see ppl kept lining for their hot breakie.Man , it never stop, a constant flow.Reminded me with the line in bakmi gajah mada in the sunday morning.

So? I got another 20mins to burn until my car is ready.

Dunno what to do? Finished all the quota and kick my ass off.

Weekend wrap up

2008-12-01T00:04:00.000+11:00

Time is flying!

Hell yeah , it's december , the festive season , already.It means closer days to my holiday.

It seems just last week the beginning of '08 - now another 31sleep to go!

This weekend is like our ritual w'end - ie nothing really exciting happening.Sleep , food and groceries on the top of house hunting. Speaking of house hunting , it's really interesting to see how the real estate agent tries to sell it.Some of them tried to sell it hard , too hard untill they frightened the buyer.Some of them sell it easily 'till the buyer walk away.

Reflecting to my work - i never 'sell' anything to my client. I always help them to get the appropriate products.There is a fineline on it, not everyone can understand on this approach. I tried to 'infect' this technique to all my staffs.Haven't had success so far but it will eventually get into their mindset.

Enough said! I blog this entry from my lovely mobile since my 'tight quota ass' inet run out the d/l limit , it throttled back to dial up modem 64kbps,SUCK!

Feeling crappy today

2008-11-25T22:36:00.000+11:00

Walked to the city today for my last workshop ; "mind sense". A great session - teach you have to believe on what you can do by choosing your emotional state and getting your positive behaviour together.

It's kinda true and relevant on all your life not limited to your work.If you can fully do it,sky is the limit!

They presented Anh Dho ; a comedian who are vietnamese background been told that he could't be a great comic.He proved everyone wrong by being the comedian of the year and earning $0.5 mill and living his life to the fullest.

Some key point I took out of this workshop:
-Be courages to set your goal
-Aim high and you'll be surprise how eady it can be achieved.
-Get out of your comfort zone to be a new person
-Learn to fail and bounce back to be a stronger human

I'll bet that you'll land into the moon before you feel the loss of gravity if you BELIEVE IT!

Btw i attached a couple pic i took from mobile.

Can't wait till January

2008-11-24T20:09:00.000+11:00

I'm really lookig forward to have holiday in January.
Cant wait sitting at the dinner table on the night before chinese new year.
From my memory, this'll be my 1st chinese new year with my beloved family since 2002.I really miss the new year spirit; eat lot of foodies , meet all ur relative u normally wouldnt see , most importantly the red envelopes $$$ *cling....cling....cling*

Indo - I'm coming.........

Test

2008-11-23T09:03:00.000+11:00

I'm trying to post the blog from the new mobile.

Test......1.....2......3!

New Phone......I'm A happy 3 customer

2008-11-23T08:26:00.004+11:00

Finally , I got the new Nokia E71 after "days" of craving for the new mobile phone.

Well , I already got two other mobile at the moment N70 and Dopod810.

I just tried to find the new excuse to get the new phone by saying the N70 is getting rustic and Dopod 810 is stupid enough ; unable to "beep once" ringing mode so I couldn't really use it at work. Hahahha...... I have to throw my sales pitch to Sherly to pursue her allowing me get the new mobile.

Afterall , I really got the GREAT deal from 3mobile, LOVE ya..... They waived me the cancellation fee of $176 and I only need to pay extra $10 on the top of my low cap.HAPPY CHAPPY CUSTOMER! My loyalty got paid off now with $14 discount on monthly spending after staying with them more than 4 years.

Said enough on 3mobile, I really considered either to get the blackberry 8707G and E71. Read all the review and they gave a decent high score! I supposed the only big different is the OS and camera function. This time I chosen more conservative and reliable mobile ,NOKIA.It gave me a easy to navigate option that I comfortable with and "beep once" ringing mode (Love this mode- i missed this option since I used my Dopod).

I am still trying to play arround the mobile to fully understand all the function. The new added function is Nokia Maps , look good in the name but its pain since you gotta pay for using it.Nokia gave 7days trial which is pretty minow!

Now , I gotta sell my DOPOD810 either in EBay or Indo. Anyone interested to buy? It still in MINT condition (I really meant it) , has TomTom Navigator software and loads of extra! Sent me the comment if you want it!

Overall satisfaction: Happy with my choice!

On the other news, I'm going back to Indo for chinese new year on 24Jan-15Feb'09.Got good price from SQ,nice! Saving up my "wedding and 1st home " dollar!

Finally, we went to this Malaysian restaurant after two or third time bad luck 'coz there is always long queue. Tonight , we went straight to the tiny winy table literally.

Anyway , these some pictures taken by my old rusty but do-able N70 camera

The menu

Nasi lemak with fried chicken. Nice sambal and crispy bait fish.

Soft and crispy Roti with onion - nice Sambal and curry

Finished the dinner with Ice Kachang - too sweet by my standard but decent taste compared to other Malaysian stall

Andy Lau Concert 2008

2008-08-27T21:17:00.003+10:00

Finally, the tickets are ready to be picked up!

We're not a big fan of him but I think it would be a worthed concert to go.

We started to download his songs and watch the karaoke in YouTube ---> We Tried to be The Fans.

Talking about a real fans , my friend (H) is a real die-hard fan of Andy lau.Every time we went for the karaoke , he ALWAYS (*I Stressed this word ; ALWAYS*) sings his songs. Well , he sang really well with exact tones and pronunciation as Andy Lau sing so he's damn good singer man to the point he can monopolize the microphone for the entire karaoke.

To prove his love to Andy Lau , he went to the Korean/Hong-ki hairdresser in the chinatown and the conversation goes like this:

* The stylist washed and the blow dried his hair *

HairStylist ( HS ) : So.....how would you like the style today? *with broken english*

My Friend : Hmmm......
* slowly picked up something out of his pocket like Chow Yun Fat in the God of Gambler movie *

My Friend : I wanna be like him ............ a newspaper with ANDY LAU picture on it!!!

HS : * Speechless *...................... Okay!!

Man I couldnt believe someone can be a fanatic to celebrity especially a male! (U!*(*&@&!)&!*&

Cockatoo Trip

2008-08-24T20:01:00.013+10:00

The Journey started here : A free ferry trip

People still lining up for the free trip.....suck-in!! Just pretending you are tourists and cut the line.hahahaha:)

What a perfect day with a perfect background

After 15mins free ride, Here you go the island with the big yellow banner!

Potato wedges is a relief to a starving girl

Tummy's full --- She going estatic with the camera shoots!!

Tried to appreciate the art : "self reflection"

One of the best shoot ; good composition and lighting * I think*

I like this shoot ; creative look but gotta try to edit it in photoshop later

An ambition to carry the Olympic torch, It's vain now!

Final shot in the island. One thing I noticed about this island ; Cockatoo by the name and Seagull-Rule by the nature.

Exciting week

2008-08-17T21:45:00.000+10:00

Ghee..... it has been a really hectic week so far!

Last Sunday - we went for the City2Surf Run , wake up 6am and finished @4pm.Had a early dinner and went back and you can guess what happen next.........sleeping the whole night.All aching starting to take its territory....only sleep and a pray can help.But I am a secular minded person so the latter wasn't a preferred option.

Monday - busy day in the office to prepare the staff for the next 2 days since I would be away for the conference.

Tuesday - wake up 4am to catch a coach ,which never arrived until 6am, to Hunter Valley .Damn I gotta wait in central station for 1hr in freezing winter cold.I could've join the homeless ' conversation around the bond fire.....:P Well it's totally my fault anyway since I deleted the invitation email sent last week. Arrived at the conference , rego and started an exciting conference , team building (we made some short movie with the theme of "Brokeback Mountain" so gay) and listening to some crap until 5pm. Once the movie been released , I'll post it here.

Anyway I been nominated for the "best cameramen" but I was close but not close enough !!

Had the boring gala dinner with bunch manager I haven't got the clue. Sat next to the gay guy who laughing all the way when they played the movies everyone created. I wasn't sure if it was a funny clip or he just drank too much white wine ( that like 5-7 glasses ). Finished at 12pm!

Wednesday - Wake up @6am, couldn't sleep properly.A much better day in conference , no much thinking process needed. Hearing and listening to the big boss said and listening to a heroic speaker , who conquer the everest with his amputated toes and no oxygen. A good story about survival and been a positive and always look something that you can and want to achieve in life.

Thursday + Friday - Catch up the work I left behind the past 2days . Gotta work smarter coz on of my staff didn't come to work Her son got really sick. Went for the long and full paid lunch ( I swear this the 1st time I went for 1.5hr lunch) with one of the mobile lender.Nice!!

That sum up my tiring and short week!

I WANT A CAMERA !!

2008-08-17T06:05:00.001+10:00

I have been craving to learn a new skill
.....
.......
.........

PHOTOGRAPHY

I kept looking for the digital SLR that suited my beginner skills.

I don't want to burn my $$$ for the feature I wouldn't use.

Ultimately , I don't want to spend Thousands buck since I can be easily bored with the new thing AKA anget...anget....tai...ayam.......(Plain English translation : HOT.....HOT.....CHICKEN.....SHIT). That's what my girl told me!

Well that's really true in a sense!

But.......

I really want to make this my hobby and I love taking picture of a landmark or landscape.Who knows I'll be the professional photographer for my weekend job?

Extra dollars needed..........

Finally, I have decided to get the new Canon EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS lens ( the basic lens ).

CityToSurf Marathon

2008-08-16T05:56:00.000+10:00

Finally , I managed to fulfill my ambition to run in marathon 14 painful KM from City to Bondi beach. I really wanted to have a go since 2 years ago but I always got something I gotta do.

And I asked a couple friends to join me in the Fun run.

With 1 training in the bag ; 1 week before the D-Day

I really expecting NOTHING, well at least I could finish the run without St.John Ambulance escort.

I was over the moon with the result ; 168.52 minutes for 14km

I had some picture and video posted on this link

http://city2surf.sunherald.com.au/results08video.php?intbib=51263

NY resolution........Mission Accomplished

2008-06-27T13:58:00.000+10:00

My planned "wish-list" for 2008 :

~~1. Got another promotion by mid-year~~
2. Got myself a decent apartment/house either here or Indo ( AMEN!! )
3. Help out my brother studying in Taiwan

I got the promotion today to run one of the branch in Pyrmont........*over the moon*

Good money with 40% potential bonus......yummy!!!!

Can't believe it happened so quick!!

A good Marketer

2008-05-20T18:30:00.000+10:00

Nice work to create awareness!

Perfect Marketing = explosive and controversial

Work Smarter not Harder

2008-04-05T09:14:00.001+11:00

I've heard this sentence over and over again either through work or friends.

I think this is a really powerful message around this sentence that I haven't got it YET.

People ( at least me not to generalize to all public) always think that if you want to success on anything you do , you gotta be work harder. I found it sometimes true. However , you get some constraint on how harder you can work , for instance : tiredness , family commitment and lack of motivation.

Hence, I gotta change my mindset from "work harder " type to "work smarter" type. It is a challenge that I somehow contemplating.The instance I have this week was 80/20 rule which says that all of our activities you will have 20 % success rate and 80 % idle or ineffective activity that won't contribute to the 20% success rate. I gotta start to minimize those activities to get more result, I think it just a matter of cost v benefit analysis on those activities.

Seems easy to write and yet hard to be implemented!

Money Paradox

2008-03-12T23:04:00.001+11:00

Settings : @Fuel Station on Super Tuesday Nite ,when you can get cheapest fuel deal for the week.It's like NO-MAT in 21.
Main Actor : Indian cashier so-called "APU" and A big DICKHEAD proud OZ (ABDPO)

ABDPO : .....mate, don't you have any Vortex98 fuel ( premium leaded fuel ) ??
APU : I'm sorry sir , we waiting for the delivery
ABDPO: When will you have it ?
APU :....hmm.....probably tomorrow morning!
ABDPO: *High Tones* Mate, why you turn off the fuel every Tuesday? So it happened that every Tuesday you haven't got any Vortex.Always.....bloody........

Then, he walked toward his car......its LEXUS!

Man, you gotta shame on yourself , you can drive brand spankin' lexus but you can't afford to pay extra 10cents on your petrol and try to shame a poor operator who don't know anything about the Caltex policy.They just worked there!

Give 'em a break!!

That's I called Money paradox - the richer you are , the tighter you'll be.

Best and Worst Airport

2008-02-09T23:31:00.000+11:00

Came across with this articles in Sydney Morning Herald this avo.

The best and worst airport to sleep over ;

With all prediction and prejudice , I'll imagine Indonesia will b the worst.

Guess What??

It came outside top ten for the worst on 2007

But....

It was runner-up in 2006

At least a clap for the airport's boss there and honestly not that bad for Indonesian standard because it was matched by the like of JFK airport ; NY airport.

Here's some comment :

"A most horrible airport unless you are a very strong cigarette smoker." (?)

"Later the same security guy came over and brought me a cup of tea which was all very civilised!" (Standanista)

"The most disgusting toilets I have come across. I gagged as I tried to not step in the human waste that surrounded the filthy squat toilet. Actually, as I write this, I am starting to gag. " (Mo)

"Ko , sista just went to operation room for caesar"

Another 1/2 hours.........

A new that we've been longing,

"Ko, a baby boy with 3.80kg and 49cm height"

WOW..... I was like winning a million lotto.

It was so surreal.

Finally, another soul been brought into my family.Thanks GOD!!!

For me , I'm officially an Uncle!

Yay.................

Another New Year Resolution

2008-01-24T19:42:00.000+11:00

I guessed it's never too late to make NY resolution although 1mth into the year already.

Here's my list:

"Always try to make mistake on the first strike - so that I can learn Not to make another one"

"Be conscious around yourself"

"Don't take it anything for GRANTED" - I think I really have to commit on it, I don't want to lose someone without being able to tell them how important they are in my life.

Those I really want to be my foremost NY resolution!!!!! * finger cross *

My planned "wish-list" for 2008 :

1. Got another promotion by mid-year
2. Got myself a decent apartment/house either here or Indo ( AMEN!! )
3. Help out my brother studying in Taiwan
