I had so much food lately...my appetite has drawn unnecessary attention when i dine with colleagues and mates alike. (i like this attention ). Was in KL for 2 weeks for my job training. ah miss those guys there...we had so much fun...the 2 weeks were like honeymoon and worry free. I love the people that I met...every single one of them...in particular Justin aka michael jackson, Chua aka Isaac my party buddy, minelli the crazy mamma and 2 sarawakian guys.....it was indeed memorable. cant remember when was the last time that i laughed and ate so much. gained 2 kgs in that 2 weeks.
Oh yeah...farewell Michael Jackson...ur songs made my childhood memorable....will miss you. so now back to penang and work and stress...boss starts to pressure me to perform. but am going down singapore with a cheap jetstar flight this friday. i miss sitting in the plane..hopefully the smell which i am anticipating in jetstar plane as well as the music will be there....i need a break and relax and am looking forward to meet with my cousin, nephews, godfather and good buddies which i miss heaps.

okay annual dinner is over....that was a blast. its an honour to meet up and dine with Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow. i felt that was treated like a king since i work in Public Bank. Dine in Salsa for fine dining dinner, buffet dinner in G hotel, Buffet lunch in Trader's Hotel. During Tan Sri Chairman's visit, had lunch and breakky with him in the grand ballroom in Equatorial Hotel.
so no more dancing and honeymoon is over. its time to pull up my socks. but HOW?! i 've never felt so demoralised before in my life. and since i started working...been rejected so many times from customers. not sure how long can i handle this as am way short of my target. just barely achieve RM180k of loan when by now i should have netted RM750k. the thing is also i have exhausted my contacts and yeah once my boss is free from his errnads, he will call me in for a talk.
i love my company and bosses but not my job function!
anyways, will leave everything behind and go and enjoy myself 2 weeks in KL as will be there for training. by the time am back will be so close to another new month....time flies...
oh yeah my church has rejected my idea of bringing in OMF Taiwan field director to discuss about future partnership opportunities. but he will still be in penang and will be his tour guide.
sigh....am confused and stuck in between...the reason i am back is for church...but...anyway......sorry for the long absence as was so busy and short of time.
yeah the world might be hit with the deadly and panic-causing swine flu but i am down with fever. before u wanna ask me what is my body temperature at the moment..let me clarify that its not physically but in my job. wow cant believe that 1 month had passed to quickly and i received my fattest pay cheque in my life...woohoo!!!! so yeah last month like many said is a honeymoon month as i just started so am forgiveable though i sell NOTHING. but this month...am feeling the heat. pressure starts to set in and stress is lingering in my bones.
thanks God that am starting to meet with more prospective customers and submitted few cases as well as few more in the pipeline. this aint easy but i am learning so much as this is my first official job and i know how it feels to be on the field and inthe market. these arent cliche words but am literally feeling the "world" dodgy people are all around and some people whom i never expect to meet and see also somehow will just come across. basically...just expect the unexpected. for now this job is fun and interesting...
oh yeah...our founder and chairman is coming over to Penang for annual dinner so all the sales staff have to perform and i cant believe that am dancing...so almost every weekday, i am attending an intensive 3 hours dance class led by professional choreographers. at least this spice things up in my 2nd month of working life. the dinner will be huge as the budget is RM1million!!! so yeah am actually pretty excited about this.
i like what my god-father told me when i called him yesterday...he told me that if there is a job on earth that is stress-free....he asked me to intro that job to him for he is interested. this makes me look at my stress from a different point of view.
so yeah sorry for the absence as u can tell that i am indeed busy. but am still coping well and hopefully doing well in my sales :)
astalavista...adios....

Okay yours truly has finally moved on to the next chapter of his life. i am feeling like a real adult now. cos am working and facing the world. seeing what reality is all about. So far so good...as i expected i would say...i mean seeing dodgy people and politicking and feeling the heat...the pressure and stress of working. so far am coping pretty well cos just started slightly over a week :)
So now, I am officially a banker.i am selling loans...so refinancing, mortgages, home and commercial loans are my DNA from now on. So my contact persons are credit officer, other bankers and managers. Of course my target groups are lawyers, developers, property agents, referrals, family and friends. so if anyone needs loans come find me and we shall discuss.
Now my target during this probational period of 6 months is 2.5 million. STRESS!!! Cant believe that i am actually doing sales now....but it is interesting as well as challenging. Will learn so much from here. Please pray that I will hit my target....or else will lose my job.
Jehovah Jireh...My Provider....I need u more than before in every way.....
Man…so many interviews done and 1 more in the pipeline….5 interviews done….so after next week…will be 6 interviews. Seems like I’ve got better after each interview and honestly..i hope to put a stop to this. It aint fun especially if u need to travel interstate. Financial Cost incurred and all the preparation that needs to be done for each interview…man it SUCKS!
God always send angels into my life and Pastor Matthew and Jennifer are awesome people. This couple have been encouraging me and is definitely essential to me….man am so sick of this waiting game and each expectation is returned with rejection. They met me for meals few times, prayed for me…always call me and chat with me and also give me some encouraging reading materials as well as quoting bible verses to me. This is what bros and sis in Christ is all about…..I aspire to be like them to others too.
Anyway, I learn something called active waiting. Everyday waking up waiting for a phone call from company is dreadful. But as I wait…I spend some quality with the Lord that I would not have otherwise. It has been tough I would say…waiting is not something common to me and I have to do something which counter my character as I am always on the move. Some said I should treasure this opportunity which I have and stop complaining as once I start work…it will be history…hmm….confused…..
Indeed finally the day came….this morning…I received a call from Public Bank and will start work on the 1st of April. Also, my car just arrived…yeehaa…all is sweet!!!
