Its Monday, Go To Work!!

I feel like this most of the time. I really wish there are some days where I actually really look forward to work at my current job. Its hard to choose happiness? Money? Career? Time? Balance? Its all kinda correlated. You can't be happy without money. You won't have money without a career. You can't have career without loosing precious time. Its hard to balance everything without losing something.

Lol, what a depressing post.

Happy Monday Blues.

Hello from Bangkok Kapp! (21-25 March 2013)

Haven't blogged for a long time as I am just very very very farkking lazy. So many trips outstanding but this one has got to be by far one of my favorite.

Went to Bangkok with big group of friends with a secret objective of a proposal

Bloody Awesome.



The whole proposal thingy went smoothly. Except for the part where the guy kept on crying his balls off. Gahahhahah



Congrats to Dicky & Bee. It was a beautiful night filled with beautiful people. :)

I guess every one is feeling super blue after the trip. Sames goes for me. I am blue until black... Blue Black. gaahahhahah

As I use to say, when we feel super blue or sad after an an event or a trip, it means what we have done is too bloody awesome that we feel so sad after it because the moment is over.

Oh well, until our next trip together guys... Taiwan maybe? ;)

Hello from Egypt!

Would have never expected that I would visit Egypt. And during a major political situation as well. LoL

Anyways, with my 'superb' planning I have actually a few days free to spend in Cairo. Unfortunately for me because of the political situation here I couldnt visit a few places and was stuck in the hotel for quite some times. But I did manage to see one of hte ancient wonders of the world :)

THE PYRAMID OF GIZA (Can't take my mind of Pyyramid Escape :))

(View of the Pyramid from the road)

(Tickets to the Pyramid. Had to buy 2 tickets, one to enter the area and one specially to enter the pyramid)

(A close view of the Pyramid. There are actually 9 pyramids there. 3 big one and 6 smaller one.)

(On my way climbing up to enter the hole)

(Insde the Pyramid. No camera was allowed. So I just used my phone. Seriouslly, it was not an easy climb. The passage way is fucking small. I was like almost in a squating position climbing 100m high)

(Th end of the read. Just a coffin with nothing inside.. Quite anti climatic, but the climb up was interesting. :) )

After the exiting the pyramid, my guide brought me to where I can go and take a camel ride out to the desert and take a picture of the 9 pyramids in the area.

(My driver bringing me out of the area and to the desert. I was suprised when he suddenly joined me on the camel. Imagine the camel carrying me and the driver. Poor Camel. But seriouslly guys, riding a camel... its not comfortable. Alot of bouncing. Sports Bra recomended for ladies. hahahaa.)

(Me, My camel and the pyramds)

(The view of the Desert)

(Seriouslly, I rather not have the arabic scarf on me. My driver just like suddenly came to me and started wrapping it around my head. I just cant say no to him.)

(Can you see how kangkang my leg is! Told you its umcomfortable!)

(Next Stop was the Sphinx. hehehehe, look familiar?? Destroyer??? Dota?? :))

(The temple outside the pyramid where the mumification process is done)

Well, thats about it. I have not seen any mummy yet as they are all located in the musuem and due to the political situation I cant really get there. Tour guide brought be to some other plaes as well, but I am too lazy to show them here... oh well maybe just one :)

(Bought myself a cartouche with my name in egyption on it. :))

I would say that Egypt is a place that everyone should atleast go once in their lifetime. It was quite impressive. Also recomended to go during the winter season so its not that hot. And to the pyramids, recomended to go early in the morning when it just open. I miss out on all the crowed. Perfect.

But to prepare for the smell when you are visiting the pyramids. Its full of Camel and Horse shit. I guess.. I cant really tell the difference :)

Hou Lan Jet Lag

Jet fucking lag is the worst thing ever.

I was so fucking jet lag that i slept at 9.30pm yesterday. Woke up today at 4.00am and couldn't go back to sleep.

I even went for a bloody Jog.

Its now 2am and i am still awake. Following up on some work email and guess what. My boss is awake and we are like fighting emails up and down. LoL

I have been working for more than a month none stop. Working still Saturdays and flying off on Sundays. None stop and its kind of sickening. And there is no replacement leave to be taken to readjust back to the time zone. By the time I am back to Malaysia i have to follow things up on my trip and attend meetings the very same day i touch down or the next fucking day.

Its exhausting.

My fucking job is really stressful. I am holding the biggest accounts of my company. Any slight fucked up and its a real goner. And there is alot of fuck up even though its not from my side. I have to go and clean other people's shit.

Trust me guys,

its no fun traveling overseas to wipe shit off the floor.

Its no fun traveling overseas with a mask on

Its no fun traveling overseas with a heart of half truths

Energylesssss

I've been really exhausted for a long long time..

Not to say that I have been working too much... well, I do work kind alot and with all the travelling its really taxing on my body.

But its not like I do not have enough time for rest, its just that I just can't scarifice my own personal time so I always sacrifice my sleeping time. I just have to go out for my Yam Cha session, going online even though I am fucking tired, another round of farming on diablo.

My mom has been really worried as she is seeing news many people just dropping dead from exhaustion.

The guy who watch Euro Cup None stop
The guy who played diablo non stop
Previouslly, there was a lady who died due to over working.

I think we should really take off one day, just to have a proper rest and clear up our minds. Sleep is something our body needes very much that we scarifice too much of it.

That said.... lets go to

Saaawaaaarrrrrdddddeeeeeekaaaappppppp

:)

Cheers!

Turkey Trip

Can't believe that I am actually actually in Turkey again.

After receiving a call on Saturday, I flew of the very next day to Turkey. I am so bloody tired from flying and damn dreading the shit waiting for me to settle.

Anyways, I haven't even got a chance to share the stuff from my last trip and I am already in this part of the world again.

Here is stuff from my last Turkey trip


(Hotel Breakfast : Nuts and Cereal)


(Cheese cheese and cheese)


(Salad bar)


(More Salad and Cheese)


(Bread Station)


(Has this at my customer's canteen. Aigua with meat :))


(I guess some of you know what this is :))


(Car view during journey at Istanbul)


(Turkish Airline Travel Kit)

My favourite Airport Lounge

Gotta say that my current favourite airport lounge is the Turkish Airline Lounge located in Istanbul Ataturk Airport.

Let me share why you guys why


(A Pool table with a library)


(A tea station)


(Pastry station)


(Coffee station, with someone actually stationed there to service you)


(A wide selection of drinks)


(A small selection of wine)


(A Station for fresh pizza & bread)


(A salad station)


(A soup Station)


(A station for warm food)


(The Men's toilet. :))


(Prove that I was here. Gahahaahaahah)


My transit time in Turkey is always crazy where I have more than 8 hours waiting. This lounge really makes thing a little bit more bearable. Imagine last time when I couldnt enter the lounge. Try imagining sitting in Burger King for 8 fucking hours with no company, no plug point to charge ur phone, laptop, ipad. One word.. Suffer

Anyways, other good lounges that I have been to is Asiana Lounge in Korea - Seoul airport and also the one in Frankfurt Lufthansa Lounge. But my favourite still goes to this one.

Hello spirits!!

Sometimes I really want to know....

but I'm shy...

yet I'm curious ....

really curious....

erm....

I wonder....

I'm wondering...

I have a question here...

THEY EXIST?????????????

Simplicity from home

(My Mom's herbal garden)

(Simple homemade Meringue with Passion fruit & Yogurt. Yeap my mom makes meringue. Personally I would prefer if she roasted a whole leg of lamb as I am not really a dessert kind of guy. :) )

On another side note, just got my medical checkup results today. Seems that I am perfectly health other than a fucked up cholesterol level and urine acid. Basically eating too much meat and not enough exercise. There goes my roasted leg of lamb.... or not.

Kegetaran

Do you guys sometimes come to a total blank when you a dealing with a certain someone?

Sometime I draw such a blank that I start to getar getar and even stutter which kinda sucks.

There goes all my sales skills.

I had a friend during my uni days who had stutterin problem. How he sometimes overcome it is by thinking and taking the person he is dealing with as a totally worthless person. Sounds fucked up but I guess this sorts of allow him to speak somewhat normally.

Another friend of mine advises that try to imagine the person your are dealing with another person that you are comfortable with.

Well, I guess this is a a confidence issue. But you know, even going in to a meeting which has been scheduled later, your sort of have a the time do to what we sales people refer to as a "Sales Call Plan". Sales Call Plan is basically preparing your self for a meeting by writing down scripts of what your conversation will be like. This is a common practise where I work. It allows someone to be prepared. Everyone somewhat has done a sales call plan in thier life. Basically imagining scripts that will happen before a meeting.

But you know, up to a certain extend, even when preparing a sales call plan I can sometime come to a blank. They say when you do not plan, you plan to fail. But when I try to plan and come out blank, its like planning to fails as well.

Not to say that this happens to me very often. I just hope it doesnt happen in the near future. Or better yet, dont happen ever again. :)

Hoy From Manila

Had a short trip in Philippines last month. I don't really travel to that region quite often but I do like Philippines. Entertainment life is top class. Bimboness Level 15

But then we have to be careful as its not really a safe place. For both foreigners and locals.

(I forgot the name of this noodles... ahahahahahah. But its really something different. Don't really know how to describe it)

(My driver told me its part of Laguna Lake. I am not sure though)

(Lotus. Its full of these plants. Too bad it was not flowering)

(My driver is also something like part of the FBI (Philippines one, not US). He let me hold his gun :) )

(Don't play with guns kids)

I wanted to plan to go to a shooting range when i was there. But just couldn't find the time. My next trip, I will have try more local food as well. This trip too many commercial food :(
