Cameron Highland



Finally I went to Cameron Highland with my girl last week after planning to go there since last year.

It's no very cool at Cameron, very nice temperature, round 25 degree C. Having a steamboat dinner is the best meal ever.

There are lot of jungle tracking activities available, but I think most of the people enjoy plucking the strawberry than doing out door activity. We only went to Parit waterfall and Robinson waterfall. Too dangerous to do the remaining jungle activities alone. It will be a very enjoyable activity if more people are participate.

Ok, this month is consider my holiday month and I had spent most of the time outside also lot of money :(. Need to work hard to earn more money so I can plan my second holiday month this year.

The next stop, I wish to visit the Angkor Wat. Anyone interested?

Habit

Today, I got an idea on how to wake up early.

Say, you normally wake up at 8AM and you are alway late to work. So you plan to wake up early a bit but you just can't used to it.

Here how you do it.

You can adjust the alarm in the way that each day the alarm is bring early a minute. So the first day, the alarm on on 7.59AM, and the second day 7.58AM, and so on. You would feel the different of 1 minute. Therefore, after a month, you are able to wake up on 7.30AM. You may continue this practice until you able to reach office before your boss :)

But some habits will kill you.

The experiment showed that, if you throw a frog into the boiled water, the frog able to respond it and jump out from the boiled water. But if you put the frog inside the water and slowly boil it. The frog is dead meat at the end.

Just like human, if you start to accept your daily life, your work, your income, your position, etc, you are become slave to your company and you lost your ability to fight for your own right and benefit.

So before it become your habit, think about the frog first. Enjoy your working life.

Team building

Just finished 2 days team building at Genting Highland. I heard the course is very expensive. Not sure why my director want to spend these money for it. For sure he got his own reason, only time will tell us the truth.

Back to the team building course. I have to admit that the speaker is a great speaker (that why the fee is so expensive). As usual these kind of course will be very similar to those self-help books that I read. Anyway, just want to share some points will you all.

1. Work for fun, not for money.

If you read all my blogs, you will know that I or most of us are applying this now. If I had chosen to work for money, I think I had left this company for long time ago, and I will never stop changing my job. However, I think the speaker hide some terms and conditions from us. The above statement will only be valid if and only if;


i. You are not over underpaid.
ii. Someone (especially the management lever) appreciate you contributions to the company.


Based on the two conditions that I mentioned above, we can conclude that money is not the only factor in keeping a worker, indeed it's one of the main factors. It also told us that money is one of the most effective way to show gratitude and appreciation to the worker.

2. Work as a team

In the other word, it mean teamwork. So far I had to admit that not everyone is in the team or even some are in the team, they are more like a parasite to us. Anyway, I glad that I able to name most my colleagues and their role in the team.

... think more we and less I in daily work.


The main obstacle in building a team is that most of the people only want credit but not shit. Some people are very good at taking credit and some are very good at making shit, and some is very good at cleaning the shit. Who are going to be awarded is depend on how cleaver is the boss.

3. Love your colleague.

Ok, need to thank for my colleagues for giving me "I like you" card. Sometime, we like someone even though they look like a gangster. Basically, we like someone not because they are handsome, pretty, rich, high post, etc, but because we can accept the attitude of that person and you feel safe when working with them.

Well it's enjoy to have this course and have fun with the colleagues after the company trip although I'm sick these few days maybe due to consume too much of alcohol :)

Bangkok trip



Just came back from Bangkok trip. It's a fun trip and tire also. I still feel sleepy today, luckily I'm on leave.

Bangkok is a very nice city, lot of shopping places, thing are cheap, exciting night life, culture & 18x shows. I'm quite surprise that Bangkok is much more modern than I thought. Maybe one day she will be ahead of bolehland if we still dreaming that we are at the top of the world.

About the agua (lady boy), some are just so pretty until you don't believe she a man. So never try to drunk at Thailand, you don't know who will sleep beside you until you hear her voice.

The next special show is the Thai Girl show. Well, I don't know how to say it. Just feel pity to them that need to use their most native skill to earn money. I think I should stop supporting those 18x movies :)

Spend quite a lot of monies for this trip. Anyway, it's worth.

I shall start to plan my next trip from now. Hope to show you all another round of nice photo soon.

It's 7AM, why am I here?



It's 7AM and I'm at LCCT waiting my flight to Jakarta. The flight is 9.50AM. So I'm 3 hours earlier than my flight O_o. Don't think I'm Kiasu, although maybe I Kiasi :)

So Limo new policy,

We only serve those customers that agreed to take the Limo 3 1/2 hours earlier than his/her flight.


Ok, so policy is policy although I know I will be waiting here for 3 hours for nothing. Because of same Limo driver mistake, we need to suffer this policy.

I start to wonder the coming trip, the flight is 8AM, so are we need to take the Limo around 4.30AM. What a waste of time.

I'm using Air Asia to go Jakarta for WORKING, because MAS is very expensive. I think I had contributes 50% of the company annual profit this year.
