Appreciation

Have you ever heard of the expression of "Overworked and underpaid" ?? Well basically i dun quite mind about the overworked part and i'm not underpaid either... but i what i do really mind is the appreciation part of the job... ... ... Well this post has really got me started thinking, since when i start to care about appreciation and recognition? Am i in dilemma in this? I really don't know but i guess this is a side-effect of working in a company such as this where appreciation and recognition is a part of ur life in the company. No recognition = no contribution = u r nothing ... a hard to swallow fact but i guess when in Rome do what the Roman do.

Anyway i really REALLY do care about is the appreciation from my "customer". I've We've been working our @4$ off for the past two and half months and in the end all i got was a notification saying i'm not good enuf to handle this project. What can i say to this? What more CAN i say? Well i decided to let them know about our hardship and seriously let them know that we are not as "comfortable" as they presume we are.

Did i do the right thing? Does saying what i said make a difference? What am i trying to achieve by saying what i said? Maybe i'm just seeking for some form of recognition from everyone or maybe i'm just trying voice out something for the benefit for everyone on the team. Am i being selfish or am i being protective of my teammates? Am i trying to protect myself or am i trying to protect everyone on the team? A part of me is psyco-ing myself saying that i'm protecting my team but a part of me is telling myself i'm being selfish. So who am i? Selfish or protective?

Bottom line... protective or selfish, i did something that have brought some good around here. At least now those "above" me knows what the hell is going on around here. Two more weeks, just two more weeks and its the end... ... and its the beginind of another cycle of endless work and countless hours... hahaha... welcome to the working world, welcome to my world, the world of the Iron Bangla(s)~~

Weird feeling~

Today is a saturday... oops... its now 2am :p

I'm in the lab for about 11hrs today and it seems more than that...I guess i'm starting to feel the "slaving-my-life-away" now... sigh~~

Was supppose to hv lunch with a colleague but at last min i was asked to go to the "airport" and watch the airplane "fly" sigh... Had my breakfast at around 3++ and it was back to work.

At around 11+ it was raining quite heavily and i was really hungry as i've not taken my dinner... I was initially going to have find my fren for dinner but due the the rain it got canceled and just that short journey from the office to my car i felt something i've not felt in a very, very long time. I felt lonely... it was raining and it was cold... i was hungry and my friend just canceled our appointment... damn... that's weird.

As soon as i left the company i decided to try it for one last time as the rain has died down...

Leech: Hey really dun wan ar??
Y: Er... okay lar, u come lar ...
Leech: (Yippie) OK... i'm coming.

From this i learned 1 thing. We must have shear determination to make things happen. If i din make that call then it would have been a lonely night...

Short KL trip visit holiday drive through

Well i was thinking of having a nice weekend back in kl last week but it all went down the drain due to 1 very holy phonecall and i'm still bragging till now *$#!%!$&!$!%$!)&$!*% It went something like this... it was friday and i was having a good time with my frens.

Liz actually called me to join them for a small gathering among themselves and i agreed. On my way to find SC there was a barking and meow-ing going on outside i.e. it was raining dogs and cats out there. So some parts of the roads where i used were actually flooded and it really scared the crap out of me... wat if the water got in my car or brakes... will my precious Goldielocks get stranded there?? OMG~~~~

Anyway i got there soon enough and i located SC and i do say, she looked different. I guess the cloths does makes a person. She looked more matured now while me... hahaha.... i'm still the same riffraff i was before i graduated, the bottom dweller that nobody look upon... hahahaa.. worthloss piece of scum MUAHAHAHAHA.... anyway later we went to the restaurant and begin to wait for the others to arrrive. Andboy were they late, we waited for almost an hour. Well it was raining and its a friday night... so it equates down to MASSIVE TRAFFIC so its understood.

After dinner (well the place have nice food but bad service... so i dun even bother to remember the name) I can't belive there is actually a shop that will some sort of rushing the customer implying to them that they should pay and leave... it sux....





Nice food... but.... ... ...

service :p

Well like i was saying, after dinner we went to a different place to continue our catching up. We went to this place called Exotic. Well it look some sort like a normal place to hang out. But i do say i quite like the atmosphere. Its cooling and its not noisy.. really like it. As for the drinks... ooo.. before i finally saw the legendary drink that bro told me about, the drink that is worthy of its name... The Graveyard, i finally understand its called the name that its called. Its a combination of 7 type of liquor [rum vodka, tequila, whiskey, stout and scotch] and i do say its all hard liquor. By just looking at the combination i dun think i'll drink it but hey while looking for the ingredients i found that those who have drinked it is saying is not as strong as one would believe... i wonder.... should i??? hahahaha.. if i'm not driving :p

Some drinks we ordered... the color is nice but the taste... (except for the one on the right, that's good)

Anyway it was while having a drink with them i got a call from Cat... the call that i am not hopping would get... she told me that xH is looking for my phone number... and she warn me about him calling.... ..... ... 10 mins later, i got a call from xH.

xH: CH are u free on sat ?
CH: No, i got things to do in the morning till evening due to family function
xH: Oh... Are u free on sun then?
CH: I guess so... ... ...
xH: Could u come back to help ?
CH: (a short silence) er.... ok...

Hey wat do u expect me to say? I too is the owner so i guess i owe it that much to Cat to come back to help, i've been away for quite awhile now due to training i guess i just have to sacrifice this time, but wat that made me tick was why does he have to call me while its still my day off?? Hello~~~ i took a day leave on friday?? And he's calling me on friday while i'm in KL asking me to go back to work on sun in Pg... ... WTF~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!

Well basically that almost ruin my evening... sigh~~~ And tat basically is the end of my KL visit... a phone call ... a phone call that spoiled my mood. I was almost planning my journey back to Penang after that phone call, and almost ignoring my friends... sigh~ ... ... ...

My driving

Well this is certainly an improvement ... my driving i mean. Last week i drove back to KL for a family event... i started my journey at 4.50 and i arrived in KL at 9.50 and this is calculated from the time i left Krystal Suit + 45 mins Ipoh town detour... From what i heard its usually a 3 an half journey from Penang to KL calculated from toll to toll i guess i've break my own record now. My average time is usually around 4+ hrs now i've done in less than 4 haha...

It took me only 3 hours (toll to toll) from KL to Pg island this time... hahahaaa..... i nid to control myself... i dun wan to get a ticket ~~~~

Muscle twitching

Twitch here... twitch there...
That is what's been happening to me whole day... i woke up with my left shoulder twitching and that is just the first of my twitching day...
During training class my shoulder just can't stop twitching and it went on to my right arm follow by the left...
Wat the hell~~ The feeling just ... well irratating... the time now is 1.04am... and yes its still twitching... arrrrhhhh hopefully it'll be gone when i wake up "later" ...
