Mid Autumn aka Mooncake Festival

Yeah... I am going back to Penang for this important festival. Told my mum that i will be back since weeks ago and she promised to cook me some favourite dishes. :)

At the same time, i also arrange for a Pot-Luck gathering with my gang + important person in my life. I believe that Mooncake festival is a meaningful festival, it's great that we can gather those people that we care & love together during this time. Eating Mooncakes, snacks, home cook dishes as well as looking at the Moon in the garden that full of Lantern.

Since my year ain't that good in 2009, I really wish that i can enjoy every single moment with them (mummy, kaima, love one & buddy). I know it gonna be fun in this Mooncake Gathering Pot-Luck, fo sure we will play some silly games and making silly jokes as well. Can't wait to go back to penang.

Besides, Chinese New Year and Christmas, i feel that Mooncake festival is very important to me.
The union of man's spirit with nature in order to achieve perfect harmony was the fundamental canon of Taoism in celebrating Mooncake festival.

The feeling of "YUAN" is so deep during this festival, full moon make me feel like get together with people that important in my life.

Wish i could enjoy this important day.... with you and the rest of you ..:)

Decision Making

Finally, i made up my mind to quit my current job. It's silly right? But i feel that i make a correct decision.

Well, i attended several interviews and it's time to make another important decision .... my next destination.

1) Wine & Liquor - Sales & Marketing Manager
(5 & 6 days work, 10 days Annual Leave, Higher basic with basic claim)

2) Beauty & Slimming - Business Development Manager
(51/2 & 5 days work, 12 days Annual Leave, Higher basic with Fixed Allowance)

3) Customer Relationship Management & Premium Solutions - Sales & Marketing Manager
(5 days work, 10 days Annual Leave, Lower Basic with Incentive & Allowance)

4) Healthcare (yet to confirmed) - Senior Retail & Marketing Manager

Except the 3rd one, all the above are new to me. Of course the nature of jobs are still the same... marketing, business development, PR, promotion. Only different is the trade.

The 1st and the 2nd are pretty interesting, i drink but i am not a heavy drinker. I like to look good but i am not so into beauty & slimming centre.

As compared the bosses, i "feel" that the beauty & slimming one sounds better. At least he understand my previous problem and sounds more professional in marketing field. I am quite lucky that all interviews conducted by the key person (Managing Director, CEO and Senior General Manager) in the company.

What about the package ? Except the claims (milleage, toll & parking), packages are better than my current job.

After my deep consideration, i already make my decision to join the Beauty & Slimming Company. If the 4th offer come in next week, i may change my decision ? Haha

Anyway, wish me all the best. I will do the best in my new job.

(For Your Infomation, i am currently free from job. My ex-company pay me 1 month salary and asked me not to serve notice. I spend my time in helping my cousin setting up his restaurant business - renovation, licensing, staffing, training, accounting & administrative)

Shall I reduce my price? Sound like ..haha

Well.... am i consider lucky enough to earn this figure XXXX.

Most of the Interviewer commented that I am highly paid. Well, it's value for money... hahahah. I got my proof track record in my experienced.

For the shake of getting a more challenging job, i think i don't mind to reduce my value a little bit. (A little bit = RM 1.00 wakaka). Of course i will proof to them that i am not a lousy manager and they will definately increase my value very soon.

Tell you guys something, i got early confirmation for all my previous jobs with good increment (except the current one).

So far, i haven't receive any good or bad news... all waiting for the call. I wish i could get it soon.

What make me stay in a job ?

1) Job satisfaction
2) Challenging -- Result Orientated
3) Good employer - nice and not too stingy (must give pressure also)

Anyway, i enjoy the interview sessions. Eventhough i may not be hired, i think that's life experience. Remember to do necessary study before go for an interview.

Will continue this journey until i get the best for myself.

Love From The Heart

Do you know how to love a person ? Am i qualified enough to ask this question. The answer is "NO". Im still in the process of learning this.

Too many problems came into my life recently, i kept on telling myself to stay strong and be positive. Yeah... I really stay strong and faced it one by one. Throughout this process, i learnt how to love people around me, show my love to them more.

My mummy.... someone that i love her so much in my heart, my dad really hurt her so much and keep on creating problem to her, to the family. I blame myself for not with her all the time, i know she really need me..... I am sorry mummy.... i love you. Recently i communicate more with her (SMS or Phone call) and this could indirectly cheer her life. I will try my very best to take her out from Penang.

My dad.... someone very stubborn, he will never change himself.... i can't forgive him, i tell myself to forgive him, but he keep on asking money from us. I want to give him a lesson, I cant tolerate with all these. He is very selfish person, never think for me and mummy. He make my mum so struggle and my mum really sad. What can i do ? God, please help him... becoz i still love him

My Porkie.... we have gone through a real tough period, it sounds very difficult but i hope you can get over this. Trust me, it's going to be great soon. Just put some faith and you will see the sunshine every morning.

My grandma.... i will never let you be alone, Nobody are allowed to leave you like that. Sorry for not visit you that often. Let me work out something for you, mummy and porkie.

My kaima.... i know you really sayang me. Same do I. Sometimes i do talk something hurt you indirectly, no hard feeling please. You support me so much throughout this period.

My didi.... Pray pray pray... you non stop praying for me. Don't worry, im going to be great!

My buddies.... really appreciate everything that you guys did for me. Thanks for the concern and i know how to appreciate it. Especially Alicia, million apologies for throwing tantrum on you the other day. You are the Best.

Give yourself a short moment to feel the "LOVE" from people around you. 5 minutes would be enough for every night and it really works on me.

Learn to be a person that receive loves and give loves......

寻回当年的我

这两年来我真的改变了许多,尤其是工作的魄力,比起5年前的我真是逊色多了。以前不管多么艰难的任务,不管是多冒险的工作,我一定会尽力去把它完成。

近年来也觉得自己信心欠缺,做起事来都没那么顺利,自然气势也大大地降低了。以前做起事来都是胸有成竹,在我的字典内是没有不能够解决的问题。

从第二份工作开始就深受公司的器重。想起当时年纪才24岁的我,被公司委派到公司分区处理3间超级市场的运作市场人事;就那么样地从一个打理20多位员工的部门主管,转变成领导3百多位员工的经理。领导了这个团队两年,在被调回总公司并委任为首席执行员特别助理,主要处理公司的市场及广告部门,同时也协助首席执行员协调公司中央管理系统等人事行政事务。

我从未想过自己会有那么多机会处理不同层次的管理工作。在4年内我真的经历了不少磨练,吃了好多苦,流了不少苦汗。但是那时候觉得非常值得,因为老板真的很珍惜并肯定我的付出。记得为了公司新分店开张,我连续3个月无休工作,每天早上8点上班到晚上11点。有时还得和老板们开会到凌晨3点钟。这一切换来的是满足感及开心。那时我独创了人生的很多第一次,第一次监督一间购物广场的工程,第一次负责一间购物广场的开张工作,第一次当经理,第一次领导超过300位员工,第一次掌管那么多流动基金,第一次致开幕词,第一次当收货员等等。这一切都不简单,但是我学会了--------坚强!!!也懂得一个人生理论 - - - 要带领团队要先带领团员的心。

要寻回当年的自己可不容易,那股大将的士气要到何时才能回来呢?最先是有个能够信任干部的老板,再来是一间能够有发展空间的公司,同时要有个工作团队,一个好的工作团队才能把事情办好。

我已经尽力去争取我现有的一切,可是在这样的情况继续工作下去并不可能把满足感带来的。我必须找回当年的我,我必须积极,更积极去寻找它。如果在现有的工作环境下去,我就会退化甚至老化(哈哈),没有目标,没有自我,没有计划,没有进步,没有提升。

告诉大家一个心底话“我不想止步,更不想退步”。我会克服这次的考验!!!
