KPI + MUFTI

“Fuck! Fucking bastard! Pick up the phone!! Fuck You!!!...(moment when someone pick up the phone) Hello, good morning, pass me to you director please, is regarding to water project here!”

This is basically happen in our sales department office. People here are very aggressive and impatience because they have to keep their KPI (keep performance indicator) high and is stressful for them to achieve minimum 150 calls per day, at least 12 pitches to the decision makers like CEO, directors and managing directors on the phone. Apart from that, boss who always has his STARBUCKS coffee on his hand like to patrol in the office and reproach employees on the sales performances. It is pretty cool if someone manages to get sales because basically our events are based on USD and he or she would go to ring a bell located at the middle of the office and encircled by the clapping sound in the office. This is a very good idea for motivating employee to achieve their goals. However, if the sales performance is bad for the day, everyone will need to stand out to do the calling. The whole ambience in the office is tense, uneasy and even make you can’t breathe properly.

Mufti! How many of you know mufti day? Well, this is a culture from America where is a day all office employees are encouraged to wear casual clothing rather than formal or stupid “official” suits. Through a research, it was found that Mufti helps to improve productivity and many westernize companies do encourage this behavior in their working environment. Guys, what do you think about this? I personally agree with this statement, employee tend to be more relax and comfortable with their casual wear; just like someone told me before, untie your tie on your neck and feel the oxygen reach your brain, make you fresh!! Alright, why am I talking so much crap on Mufti? This is because my company does practice this culture but not for every Friday. Boss will announce particular Friday for Mufti on Thursday evening which is depending on our sales performance. The first time when I got to know this culture, I was like so happy because no need to wear those stupid suits or uniforms to the office. Just wear whatever you like, even bikini! Just joking, none of us wear bikini to the office la! But after the first experience on MUFTI, I regret and dislike this stupid MUFTI! Reason: Mufti is known as a reward to employees from the boss, of course we need to pay for these. Boss expected better performance! We got to stand up for the whole morning or a day to do the calling. This is just like a punishment when you are in primary school for not doing homework and get punished by teacher for standing in the classroom for the whole lesson. Whenever I heard of MUFTI, Screwy! Phobia!

Buddy!!! Buddies!!!

Buddy!! Hey, buddies!! How is your life getting on? Is everything gone into smooth and right track? Good if everything in right track; not too bad if not in a right track! Everything will gonna be alright! No worries!

I have been struggling hard here. Life in KL is kinda of hectic and crazy! I really have to salute those who stay at KL. Time flies, unbelievable that I am still here and struggling like KETAM! But I never regret with what I decided although this is tough enough. I really learn lots and see a lot through this job. Get to know how an organization performance, operate and their systems. It is kinda of interesting if you can see through and enjoy the scene in the big organization. For example: You get to see damn arrogant people, they don’t give you a single smile? What the hell is that? A smile is not going to cost you any single cents, right? They talk arrogantly; look down on you because you are new! But I don’t care! Who the hell you are! I don’t bother!! If you don’t want to smile, why should I talk to you even though you are the manager or director!! Don’t expect me to bow for you! I have my own dignity! Anyway, I love my department where my manager is good and fun enough, but of course she can be very strict and she is kinda of perfectionist! What to do? Have to work hard! Guess why I love my department so much? It is because we always have party among ourselves! We like to buy junk food and end up with sharing the food whenever the general manager is not around! Sound cool, izzit it? Yes, everything has gone into the routine slowly and I get to use with new environment slowly! Hey, guy.. life is unpredictable! Everything is gonna be alright!! Just wait for a right timing!

Hey, I will be back on 8th May. I am very excited toward it and this is the motivation for me to struggle here!! Can’t wait to see you guys soon but too bad someone is not around when I am back. Gonna to miss you la… don’t forget my present ya!! Hehe.. take care, guys!

New Stage, new chapter!!

Yes, I am back! Back to my own lovely country- Malaysia. I have been charging my energy back hometown for last three months. Spend time with family, hang around with buddies, visit old friends, go for holiday, movie analyze, research for my further studies and sending resume; this is what I did for last three months.

What is my actual plan after since my graduation? Well, I plan to go UK for my master studies. Always have a dream to go to Europe study and explore around. LOL, as you can see the main purpose for me is not to go there study but is go there to explore. Is always nice to be a beg packer and go around with limited budget. Is challenging!! Believe me, this is really fantastic. Do experience once in your life. Anyway, this does not come to me at the moment. Is not a right time, I suppose!

I am currently having my three months training started last week in Marcus Evans Company which is one of the world’s leading providers and promoters of global summits strategic conferences, professional training, congresses and sport hospitality. In another way, this is an event management. If you like to find out more, refer to this. http://www.marcusevans.com
Another new chapter; new topic; new stage! I have never thought of working at Kuala Lumpur. Life is unpredictable! Is really tough for me to struggle around in KL for the first few days; have to wake up early for taking at least one hour bus to go to my office and another one hour for me to come back. Well, the distance is not that far from my house to office, just the JAN!!! A big headache if you own a car here.

For the first week training, is kind tough to me. As I am the youngest one among 8 trainees and the only one without any working experience. I was struggling like KETAM in the Fire. However, when the moment I get through the test and step into their office, everything worth it. I see the whole working environment, how employee work, competitive between the teams, how the sales go on and etc. Everyone seems to be energetic and enthusiastic. Cool. I think I need to get harder for better achievement in this competitive environment cause the people there is Damn KIA SU!! GOSH!!! I better stop here. Have to do my homework for tomorrow. Bye and take care ya , buddies!! Miss you guys.

离别时刻

项目:离别会
日期:17 Oct 2008


一直想着要回家,家永远是最舒服和温暖的;在外头生活是有苦有乐。我真高兴做了来这里的决定。让我体会了不一样的人生,也寻找到我要的答案,明白了要去争取属于自己的天空,让自己独立,不去靠别人,让自己长大了许多许多。还在这里遇到了各种各样的人类,让我体会到我是幸福的。

在这片土地上,我有了一群可爱又天真地好朋友。大家在一起总喜欢闹各不停,吵吵闹闹的过日子。当然,遇到难题时,大家就会开紧急会议来商量。真的很感激上天派了怎么多的小天使陪我一起长大。他们都说有我这样一个老大,才有怎样可爱的他们。但,他们不知道事实是因为有怎样的他们,才会有怎样的我。就因为有了他们的陪伴和配合,才会有今天快乐的我。谢谢你们,陪我疯到底。让我不感到孤单寂寞。

在这片土地上,我们做了许多之前都没做的事情,一起去冒险,学韩语, 好笑的是学了几句韩语,就和韩国店里的老板沟通,下场也知道是怎样的了!大家一起研究菜谱,发明了许多奇奇怪怪的食谱;组了车到处乱跑,一起改歌词,唱怪歌;拍的戏时绝对的精彩,一起抓螃蟹但一只也没抓到,笨到极点了!!

时间真的过得很快;才一转眼,以在墨尔本待上快一年半了。快乐的时间永远过得快。再过不久,大家都要各自回家了。剩下的也只有回忆了。

诗瑾下个礼拜久回家了,恭喜你,毕业了。我们说好了,回去古晋不要见面。知道为什么吗?为了要保持形象。大家每次在一起都顾不了自己的形象!记得哦,不要见面!哈哈

17 Oct,诗瑾为我们煮了一大晚餐,一个人包办了全程的工程,辛苦她了。为了表示谢意,我们也精心准备一份回忆给她。诗瑾的小型演唱会-特别是为她表演的。大家一共唱5 首歌曲和一个舞蹈。歌曲有:Auld Lang Syne, 606之歌,Season in the Sun, 一千零一个愿望,最后就是:诗瑾的歌。。 一切圆满结束!! 那是一个平静又开心的夜晚; 大家珍惜着在一起的时光!

诗瑾为大伙准备的晚餐。丰富吧!

606之歌

6062 是我的号码,在这个606屋里有四个房间;三个马来西亚学生和一位来自中国-上海的学生。大家生活在一起,一起煮饭,一起玩,一起唱歌,一起闹着玩;久而久之,我们成了一家人。这是一首606之歌;是来自5184,5181 和6162。


606之歌

什么样的天气加上什么样的风景就是什么样的心情
什么样的开始加上什么样的结局就是拥有什么样的故事

什么样的缘分加上什么样的距离就是什么样的友情
什么样的美女加上什么样的诗瑾就是什么样的老大妈

大妈在炒菜
大妈她姓蔡
大妈没装脑袋

我们随便猜
我们不理睬
我们不知好歹

诗瑾这大妈
像一只河马
双腿粗得可怕

我这样说话
他会生气吗
但还是不管她

什么样的丫头加上什么样的署条就是什么样的 Chloe
什么样的丫头加上什么样的idea就是什么样的Anita

什么样的丫头加上什么样的酸醋就是什么样的Jojo
什么样的风水加上什么样的怪人就是什么样的606

这是时候了
时间快到了
吃药时间到了

左手拿杯水
右手拿汤匙
请把嘴巴打开

把药吃下了
怪人治好了
不再是河马了

不疯署条了
不疯酸醋了
但Anita 还一样的

//为什么我每次都中招??

再见了,朋友。。

这是一首特别送给朋友-诗瑾的歌。

我要送你一首歌
它的名字就叫诗瑾
所以现在打开耳朵注意听了

道别的时间快到了
在一起的时间短了
只能写首歌说出我们心里的话

有你的这段时间
过得很逍遥自在
时间飞驰的跑着
转眼你就要离开了

Chorus:
说真实话吧
不要离开行吗
再陪我们一下

日子愉快呀
那是有你的存在
不孤单

真的我舍不得
让你离开
试着将你的手紧紧拉住
强忍着眼泪
不让它流了

Rap:
我们陌生,相识,熟悉,结束
全部都经历过吧
也试过快乐疯狂和失望呢

兴奋等待的螃蟹始终都等不到它
避难
我们还傻傻等待聪明的它们

多么 怀念你过煮的饭, 烧的菜, 说的话
一起拍的戏, 唱的歌, 是多么的潇洒
一幕一幕浮现脑海
希望你在那里也不会忘的



一起吃韩国套餐
墨尔本到处留痕迹
唱歌跳舞表演,过两天一夜

一直开玩笑闹着玩
对自己有信心
前方的路多坎坷也会轻松度过

我常说你mi cheo sseo
你知道为什么吗
为何容易被人欺负
答应我别这好吗

Chorus:
an nyeong ha se yo
用韩语来问候
an nyeong hi ka se yo
韩语的道别
以后还会记得吗
a ra seo

就要垮出未来
蓦然回首
最美是拥有那份友情梦
唯一能给的
只有回忆了

现在终于毕业了
终于要翱翔了
迈向人生另一步
我不会再哭了

Chorus:
收拾好心情
挥手擦干眼泪
我衷心祝福你
默默陪着你
就算不能在一起
And I swear
人生遇到难题
勇敢面对 再难过也不要憋在心里
看了很难受
朋友记住了
再见了诗瑾

2Days1Night Lakes Entrance

Agenda: Lakes Entrance Crabbing Trip

Mid term break again. Time flies as this is my final semester in Swinburne. Tons of assignments are summoning me: “Anita, we are waiting for you..” Well~ Don’t care about them.. Here we go~ crabbing trip to Lakes entrance where is situated between Bairnsdale and Orbost knows as the Gippsland Lakes.

We rent a Kia Carnival which can allocate 8 people from Budget Car Rental, the car is pretty cool and nice.

We bought all the crab nets and baits which cost us quite a lot. However, due to our inexperience and have no idea where the crab ideal spot. We end out with ZERO crab. Not even had chance to see the crab. Cool, right? Anyway, we did enjoy our trip; Ninety Mile Beach is such an awesome place to have fun; soft sand and green beach..

Accommodation: The Lakes Apartment. We have a luxury stay at the lakes apartment. The house design was amazing feel like never want to go back and stay there forever. Of cause it has caused us a lot too, AUD 270 per night. Pretty cool, right? Have to sew up my pocket..
