Dcember love!

Hi All!

I'm an irresponsible person towards my blog I know sigh!
But it's December! It's a month full of love and joy!
Don't you just love December?

It's the last month of the year-- means you will have a new year, with new annual leaves, new salary (perhaps) and more public holidays which falls on SUNDAY! (you know what I mean =)

I enter to this company also on December 2009. So it's been 1 year now!
I like my job, like my colleague, and it's been a fruitful year for myself.
I always glad that I didn't have much bad experience in my work place, unlike many of my friends, undergoing unfair treatment from colleague, overstressed and OT all the time. I'm glad that I have a very reasonable superior, and colleague are kind to me.
What else can I ask for a workplace freshie? (more salary can?)

But one sad thing to conclude my year 2010.
My manager is leaving.
Mei Kuan has been very kind to us, since the day I start working here.
I learn a lot from her, and very impressed she can always have a conclusion in the shortest time, when I'm still scratching my head for an answer.
She is a decision maker, wise leader and kind person.

She's a very young lady, but she is able to lead the whole department, and continuously come out with new thing to wow us.
She have a young mind for sure, younger than me I suspect (my mental age 30). Sometimes I feel that she's very close to us, more like our age, a youngster. Fun and charismatic =)

It's the most regretful event to conclude this year.
But I thank her for giving me opportunity to learn more new things, know more about this industry. In the future I will be like my mentor, caliber and kind, caring and wise at the same time.

More parties lining up!
Where is yours?

Reminder to myself.

Three days ago I've bumped in to my ex-boss, I'm certainly happy to see him. But we don't have much time, so we just 'hi' and 'bye' and hoping we will keep in touch.

The day after, few hours before I knock off, he called and ask me for a dinner.
Of course, I'm more than happy to accept his invitation. He's a mentor for me, my inspiration and my guru in stock market.

A simple dinner, but fruitful sharing with him. He share so much with me, wanted me to follow a successful path, not to do any mistake like everyone does.
Perhaps you might imagine he's a old man with white hair, almost bald, fat and have a huge belly.

NO.

He's 32, have 1 baby boy and expecting another. Have a lovely wife and perfect marriage.
He's NOT bald, a slight 'office' tummy, tech savvy, Apple product lover.


He shares a lot of big principles to me, throughout the years what he realize and understand the meaning of being a successful person.

1) When you are spending 80% of time doing something you don't like eg: your job, spend the rest of the 20% doing something different.

2) Don't do only what you are doing, do well in what you are doing, but also outdo something else. Some thing you are interested.

3) Don't believe completely what people told you. 90% of the things are false perception, the remaining 10% is for you to find out.

4) Don't stop when you see the surface. Dig down and understand the big picture. Understand what people won't normally want to find out.

5) THINK. Think how to spend your time, do your time management, do not waste time on people who won't inspire you.

6) Think more. Think on the solution, be a calculative risk taker. Understand what people need, and what you have to offer.

7) Try updating your resume as often as possible. You MUST find something to update, else you're not improving at all. Add in one column: ACHIEVEMENT.

8) Talk to the elders. Talk to someone who is twice your age, and you must be knowledgeable enough to do that.

9)Finish reading Stephen Covey. This book is deeply influencing my mentor.

10) You don't need to work hard, but force yourself to do something you like.

11) Repeat reading a useful book throughout the years. You will understand something different every time you read back.

12) Don't wait for opportunity. Create it.

13) Study what you have to. Understand the nature of your occupation. Study what other people in your same position won't do.

14) Think analytically. See something, and analyze the story behind.

15) Remember the above.


These makes where he is standing today. A successful business man.
I appreciate his teaching on that dinner, hopefully I can change my life.

This is what he told me : 'I see something different in you, and potential too. I hope in few years down the road, we can work together. I enjoy working with you.'

For the future me.

Dear YewRaisin,

This post is dedicated to the future me, remind me of what kind of person I am now, and hopefully I'll be a better one in 5 10 years time.

I hate to let my hair down now. I love to cut it short but I can't, I can't fight the heat and my lousy hair style. Whenever I don't need to look tidy I'll tie my hair up. I wish I can have a super cool hair cut in the future.

I'm staying in Prima Setapak, a very small room in a big pent house. Zero interaction with housemate, probably changing housemate too often, we are all ignorance. My room is always in big mess. Looking at the room I have only 1 thing in my mind-- I must get myself a house to move my ass out of here. A room is not a home. A house is. My house is.

I'm driving a kancil, small but loyal vehicle. I can't express much my gratiude towards my parents for letting me to have kancil san here. I hope I still driving you after many years, my priority is a house, so I still depends on you.

My favorite restaurant is oh so heavenly good Sushi Zanmai. A must at least once a week. I m not willing to spend on food last time, especially not on expensive sushi. But I do now, and quite often shamelessly. I hope you can cut down on that future me.

It's been almost 2 years in my relationship. Still trying to make things better, know each other more, trying claim some credit sometimes. Our usual outing is movie and makan. I don't want to hear one single hurtful word no more. Relationship is sometimes painful, and loved.

My favorite music is still jpop, faorie drama is still japanese drama, dream land is still Japan. I'm a hopeless Japan whore. I hope you are able to fulfll my dream by then, future. Oh, and I hope people around me able to share with me my love, my passion and my deep interest.

My current occupation is digitl media specialist. There's a ladder I need to climb I know. My house is waiting for me. So how high have you reached my future me?

My parents are in perfectly healthy condition, except they are aging, and started to face some health problem. But no worries, mommy said papa wants to travel to China twice a year, backpacking to step his foot on all the states in China. He said he wants to backpack to Japan (without me). Kamisama, please let them be healthy as always, as now.

I don't like animal last time. But I started to treasure the wonder of animals. Although I still not able to be a good pet keeper, but I started to like pet, love chow chow and Husky. What pet do you have now future?

I always try to save more rather than earn more.I'm saving because I wish to earn more using the money. I hope can at least contribute 10% more tha my salary by doing 'earn more' mission. A successful person is not thinking to save, but to earn more.

EQ...Not too high now, at least not my ideal level. I wish to become someone who can dissolve a problem without making anyone angry, settle everyhing with brain. To do that, IQ come in place.


Hello future me. Are you a better person now?
Fight for a better future, be a better person.



Love,
Raisin 2010.

Birthday for you

Dear Jia Teng,

It was your birthday, on 28th August!
Last year we were at UK, celebrating your birthday attacking your tiny room in Atlantic point.
Just one year, we have drastically changed.
Everyone is working now, work for life, for family and future.
You are a reporter, and I'm a normal office white collar.
When we were all students, we don't care about the money left in our bank, don't need to worry about bills and future, freedom they said.

Wanted to make this day so much special for you, but I realize too late that I don't have what it takes to do what I imagined.
I hope you have a great moment!

I definitely gonna make this up for you!
The only picture i have that day was the steak on you plate, much regret now.
Please give me few more dayssssss.....


Love,
Raisin.

Nothing can describe my feelings now

One word can do the justice--sleepy =..=
is TMD sleepy.

I've been trying so hard to open my eyes while driving, and yet i think my brain shut down with my eyes open.

If only I can sleep lesser ...please help me !!

May you rest in peace.

I received a horrible call this morning, after I reach the office.
My aunty passed away yesterday, heart attack.
This decease took two of my relatives' life away.
Someone told me life is fragile, I perhaps.

Right now, sitting in the office, I am in denial.
I can't believe she just gone. Like that.
She still so fresh in my memory, as if she's still alive, in fact in my mind she still her, needless to say alive.
She always been very good to me, coz she always wanted a daughter, but she have 3 sons.
She even gave me an ang pow before I went to UK, I'm so regret now I didn't seen her much after that.
How could I not visiting her!

She's faced some mental health problem before that, and I knew it, I knew she getting worst, getting better after that, seems fine after receiving the first grandchild. But I just never pay back my care to her like she used to care for me!

I guess nothing can change anything now, nothing can bring her back.


Rest in Peace aunty, you'll always in our memory.

Love, weiwei.

My picture speaks for itself.

Isn't this lovely =)

Congrats to the Spanish!
I wish I can just stand somewhere at the corner sharing the joy of bringing back the world cup.

Malaysia? nahhh...
