The Indonesia Angle Strikes ...

It's one more day before flight day ... yup you know me ... I am psyched whenever I can fly ... so there I was dickering around while half worried about work when I had an unexpected surprise ...

Indonesian Hardieeeeeee's called me up after last week and the BBM ... I thought I better BBM him my mobile number in case he didn't have it ... and as I am travelling tomorrow, I didn't know if I will subscribe to a data package or not ... and sure enough he called ... he explained the challenge of the new hotel that they are building in Indonesia ... he explained the challenge of right branding ... he asked for my opinion (MY OPINION) on what is best if it was me ... and he explained that there are many more sites/ hotels that they can convert to their own chain if this one proves successful!

O pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this could be the break I am looking for - starting a new chain from scratch - a new chain with my direction and my tastes!

I don't wanna jinx it by talking to somebody although me with my BIG mouth ... you know I so want to ... but the whole day, I kept my lips sealed ... even texting or BBM or whatever ... keeping fingers crossed and praying that it goes ahead!

Apparently for this hotel, the Hard has small shares in it but a bigger say as the rest trusts him to get the job done and obviously he is happy with what I have done. Thank goodness. So last month, when he thawed out a bit more and actually chatted with me and the breakfast ... makes sense ... and the last week as well ... I was 50/50 ... you know me again ... half worried I did something wrong!

He ended by saying he will discuss with his partners and then talk to the GUN when the GUN is in Jakarta and get his agreement so that I can be involved. I offered to fly in and chair this project to ensure its success and he sounded pleased!

PLEASE GIVE ME THIS CHANCE!

Aside from the above ... everything went as normal workwise ... talk, joke, eat, drink ... and becoming more addicted to Monster World ... the online game from FB ... which I need to stop soon ... this is because of my kia-su character ... that's why I cannot let go ... hahaha

Okay time to shower, pack and get ready for tomorrow!

Tiring Day

It's Sunday and like any Sunday that I am back in Damansara, I tended to sleep late, wake up several times during sleep, and wake up too early ... then I will feel sleepy later on in the morning ... and this Sunday is no different ... except that I had to go back to office ... ARGH!

I kid you not ... this time, I followed the Macedonian YarnMan ... and if he had told me he over-slept, I would have chilled out at home instead of sitting under the sun waiting for him ... but what the heck no big deal ... so in the office, I was so sleepy ... I nearly fell asleep ... in fact, I tested pushing away everything on the table top and lying down there just chilling out ... but it wasn't what I liked for some reason ...

Then around 2:00pm or so ... we went out for lunch ...

Other than that, I spent the rest of the day downloading movies and didn't do anything else. I still haven't downloaded everything on my Samsung yet and for Tuesday's flight, I think I will leave my Samsung at home ... sigh! And take my camera with me instead

Anything else to add?

Oh yes on the cutie front ... ARGH! I was so bummed out. I thought cutie K, the trainee from 2 batches ago wanted a job here. He was the slim, cute guy with the white glass frames but unforch as the Hajj has left ... he decided he didn't want to work here without the Hajj ... so weird, right? Unless K is also a closet gay who has a man crush on Hajj??? Hmmmmmm .... he was so cute in a geeky sort of way especially with his long bony fingers ... hah!

Annoying Day ...

I am supposed to have today off but guess what? From last weekend to this weekend, my dear old SUPES could not go through the documents and make a decision ... so I am perpetually on standby

This morning, I woke up and decided not to go in office so early ... so waited until about 9:00am and went to the restaurant as per the SMS ... naturally the DAREMAN is not there ... this is China and Thailand all over again ... I SMS him twice and no reply ... saw the JUST ... and he said he had SMS the DAREMAN as well ... and the man himself finally showed up around 15 min late ... in his T-shirt, shorts and sandals! Why o Why do you call for a discussion dressed like that? Basically he was there to appear busy and important, that's all. He could have caught up with us on news earlier or through other means. However, as his folks and sis were in-house, so he had to show them he is VVIP!

The only consolation is to watch him wolf down 3 rounds of breakfast and topped it up with an omelette. Yup, that was worth while! Hahahahahaha!

I am not going to continue in great detail about what I did during the day ... I noticed most of my blog are like that ... kinda boring so I will tell you something not so boring ... I finally got home to Damansara and my worst fears came to live ... I am now at my heaviest weight ever! I AM A FATTY 91.8KG. That's tipping the scale at a FREAKING 200 POUNDS! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMNDAMNDAMNDAMN!

No matter what, after the Thai trip, I am going to start slow walk of 30 min a day regardless of whether I walk to work or not and cut down on sugar and food quantity. UGH!

Other cool things that happened today? Met ADMAN n his MRS ... they are psyched about her opening new business ... their own first business together ... Met SUE n his MRS ... she is so plump that I was stunned when she said she is 7 months preggers already! I thought maybe 4 ... hahaha ... we had dinner followed by movie together ... and last thing ... from out of nowhere DUBAICHUNG called me ... apparently he had moved house as well and is asking if we are interested in organizing a get-together. So I told him about BUZZMAN'S asian tour ... so let's see if this can materialize

No cutie sighted in Tropicana Mall tonight ... sigh ...

O lust ... wonderful lust ... hahaha

Today is such a day ... work is a bitch, mind you ... but I am dedicating this post to the Dog Prince, Sam-Sam-Sam ...

Thanks to the problems in our wonderful reservation, I got annoyed and wanted to solve it ... so I was at Front Desk and calling Eye We See ... and no one answered ... so after a few rounds of calls, I walked over and saw a new girl and handsome SamSamSam! Sigh!

So I got to sit next to him, talked to him, patted him on the shoulder, bent so close to him until I could sniff him and chatted and laughed ... and he was so nice and helpful and even offered to help me get documents that are not in office so as not to inconvenient me ... so sweet! I kept on checking him out from top to bottom ... o I so want to put my hand on his muscular thighs and stroke his cute little tush and perhaps cup his crotch and gave it a gentle squeeze! Hahahahaha!

Enough?

Enough

And on that note, I will end this and will not even talk about the nasty bit of work that happened today especially on the Peeing Woman - talk about ungrateful, dude! Bitches!

Intentionally Setting Matters on Fire ...

As expected, after the Monday night episode, when I woke up this morning, I decided to SMS the DareMan pretending to see the miss calls from last night ... he didn't answer until much later ... he is sleeping I guess ... so much for his efforts at getting up and exercising ...

He said he wanted to meet and talk about the exciting developments in China ... yeah right! And he suggests Bilax2 to which I said no. This is simply because I was already in Bilax2 with the Burnt Man and the Just Man catching up on the things happening and the things yet to come ... so much to juggle, I kid you not!

So we ended up going out to Le Teng and he didn't know that they had something called deep fried chicken wan tan mee. Naturally he whacked it all and said it was very good. Hahahahahaha!

Naturally he started talking about who came to meet them in Shanghai, developments coming more and more in Dongping and what-not. And then as per his norm, he talked without thinking and saying that even though things are exciting, he cannot imagine living in China for the project especially now that he is a family man! You see? He wants the money but he doesn't want the hardship. So he asks if I am keen. I said I am open for anything but naturally I told him that if it is Dongping, it is a 22 days work and 8 days off to Malaysia or 3 weeks work and 1 week off to Malaysia. I didn't tell him about matters such as pay and benefits. After all, does that mean I have no chance of ever having a family of my own if I continue to work for this company? If so, then this company is a selfish company, right?

Anyway, after the nonsense is over, he came down to the crux and asked about the reasons for my email. I explained it to him and I could see from his face, he was trying to find a weak ass answer. So he blamed everyone but himself. He said he wanted the secretary to assist me and have been telling her to get it done not for her to demand that I do it (???). Then he said this is in case head office HRD comes a-checking. How is this even possible when he kept my employment in a subsidiary and managed by a different company? Ah well ... let him say what he wanted. At least, he knows now how I feel. Of course, he had to comment on salaries and what-not. Hey, I am sorry if your pay is low. But you are family. And Master W is a successful CEO of his own companies who still has millions to his name. As for me, I am 40, still single, still trying to find his fortune. So excuse me if I am not willing to work for small pay, making everyone and the company a success and sacrificing personal life as well. Again ... some people ...

The worst part? He actually thought staying in the hotel is a good thing for me. Hello! What about my personal life? Personal space? The villa is not my own as I am subjected to relocate any time and people can pop in any time as well! UGH!

Finally, in the afternoon, Master W also called me up (he called twice earlier but each time I was tied up on the phone interviewing coincidentally) ... he also asked me why and then assured me that they trusted me and just ignored all the idiots around ... so he must have spoken to the DareMan and realized it is the DareMan who had annoyed the hell out of me ... after that, we talked about work in general. Ah well ... let us see what is next eh?

I am praying that the Av-Ani-Deal goes through well enough so that our performance remains positive and we have a good year. Sigh! Quite stressful I tell you

Let them stew ...

I woke up ... yet again feeling tensed after a night of sleep that  was not very fitful ... again worried about not just work but the wonderful people I have as my superior ... so after much thinking,  I decided to F*** it all ... it isn't worth it! Sure I would love for this job to be long term and maybe no more movement in terms of job or country hopping but nothing is worth the kind of shit I have been put through. I am willing to work hard and sacrifice so much but then to have someone questioning me? Pffffft!

I sent an email to Master W and the DareMan explaining my situation and saying enough is enough. As long as I am willing to be jobless, there isn't much they can do about it or to hold it against me. Why am I so unfortunate to always end up working for people like that? Sigh!

What am I supposed to learn here? What am I supposed to contribute or help out?

Anyway, aside from that, nothing else monumental happened ... except just now before 11:00pm when the DareMan called. I let it ring. Then he called again. I let it ring. That's what I meant. I am pretty sure he is calling because he is back from Shanghai and has seen the email and is concerned that I am pissed off about them ... or more specifically him. And that's why I am deliberately not answering. Yes, I am on standby. Yes, I am working late. But hey, if you want to be calculative with me, then let's all be calculative. Or at least, I am pretending to be calculative while still replying to JustMan and the Burnt Man. Hahaha!

Okay. Time for some comics and sleep

Setting My Priorities ...

This is it! I am walking down the path of 40 years of age plus 1 day ... and I  am going to do it right. I woke up with yet another nightmare about work and the Gunn Man and decided that it is simply not worth it. Money is not all that much. The promise of money? Well it is not even explicit in numbers. So why bother so much? Do the best I can and leave it as such

In short, I didn't sleep well for the whole week and I. Have. Had. ENOUGH!

I spent the day cleaning the room and setting my comics and what-not in place. I spent the day getting my life in order. I spent my day enjoying my meals but documenting them and I have started stretching exercises

I have also gone driving to look for house to occupy and found a few. I am going to call them up and see what day is best to view

I have done a good soaking session to cleanse my body

I have wrapped up my artwork 1 full volume, more or less, finally!

And I am going to start on volume 2. Volume 2 will still be something to tingle me down there as otherwise I am not sure how long I can focus but this has only 8 pages. So let's get it on

For the rest of tonight, I am going to start cleaning up this laptop hard drive and start on my writing

This is year 40 + and I am going to LOSE WEIGHT. DO ARTWORK. DO WRITING. DO DIARY

This is the year where I take back my life and not let jobs control me because at the end of the day, we can lose our jobs so easily but then what is there available for us? Nothing. So better get my priorities right

Remember Emaar Dubai!

Remember Park Plaza KL!


Cutie Alert: Saw the Dog Boy today as we were whizzing around the neighbourhood looking for house and he was heading for work. Then had the joy of watching him walk up the driveway to the lobby. Nice hair, beautiful skin and that cute tush in grey trousers. Sigh! I so want to hold him!

The Bat is a Let Down ...

A month  ... not a new month although yes today is Sep1 and therefore is a new month (hello September) ... is how long it has been since I went out for a movie ... and all thanks to my leg issue. And before that, in Jul, it was busy ... with Sill Man and new GM and travelling to China ... so to my disappointment, Spider Man is over but at least the Bat is on

So how was it? Read my review on the side bar ... the only highlight is cutie Joseph Gordon Levitt. He is such an adorable fellow. If he is here now, I would so date him, kiss him and what-not. Yup, I have a huge man crush on him

Other than that, the Gunn Man called while I was in the cinema so naturally I am not going to pick it up. Hah! Not until the movie is finished. He wanted to know how the hotel performed last month since it is Sep 1 and we did just fine, thank you very much. So he is very happy. At least one of his Malaysian efforts are producing, right?

Other than that, it was reunion time - flashback 1989. Yup. Chuboon brought his wife and 2 lads here. Finally we met. The last time they came by, I was in town and when I got back, they had left. So this time I took them on a tour of the place and they chose the beach for dinner. Hopefully they enjoyed the sand, sea and show. They picked that because they said they had boys and the boys wanted it. The wife is so pretty but Choops looks the same except larger - thank goodness ... so I don't have to feel bad. Hahaha!

Breakfast - 1 Sausage and 1 Latte (1 + 2 = 3)
Lunch - 1 Potato Mushroom Salad & 1 Chicken Curry Rice & 1 Apple Juice (1 + 1 + 2 + 0.5 = 4.5)
Dinner - 1 Fried Rice & 1 Egg (2 + 0.5 = 2.5)
Supper - 1 Steak, 1 Mashed Potatoes, 1 Veg, 2 Orange Juice (2 + 1 + 0.25 + 1 = 4.25)
Total = 14.25 (Target 9 for Sep)
