GOTCHA!

I just set him up; thanks for JJ and Ean of pranking him. =p

It happened on the day, when I woke up in the early morning. about 0600? I appreciate a day like this, woke up early but not working, sit in front of lappie seeing warm morning sunlight beaming into living room, not too irritating car's horn (normally it is, but that day I didn't feel so), and listening to favorite song-- Flo-rida feat Ne-yo, BE ON YOU, without breakfast was like leaving stains on a cloth.

Surfing without target like day dreaming; when I felt I was back to reality,  the mouse point stopped at a column written with "SEND IN YOUR GOTCHA".

I would like to give JJ and Ean a thumb; the post was send by 8 in the morning, and I received their call by 10something, we discussed some tricks to fool him, after an hour, I received his msg:
"XXXXXX, kenakan me! nei hou yeh.......T.T"
Funny man....why cantonese? XD
and he was complaining and nagging me of setting him up. well....just some funssss, and I promise funssss will never stop! GOTCHA!

MY Astro 至尊流行榜颁奖典礼之Show Power! 音乐会 2010


This is it, My Astro Music award that I've witnessed--sounds too formal and not suitable to fit in this sentence, okay, change to --"This is it, MY ASTRO MUSIC AWARDS that I watched. Frankly, I didn't alert much about this award/ concert; in fact i didn't really put much notice into concerts in recent years. They are just human, aren't they? They are human who taking money from our pocket for our sake of have a glimpse (because you will never satisfied of watching your idol in size of a nut or half of your thumb for merely few hours from far while you are paying hundreds for it, if you are not paying then you must be getting free ticket or the concert is not a comfortable one), or day dreaming in his arms/ she is in your arms by listening to the authentic latest released music album. When age is adding, i don't find excited of seeing them; but if there is an opportunity to see them, why not?
So, here i go, VIP seat of My Astro Music Award with help from Xiang's friend.

information on those promotional materials were lying; who and who were coming but in fact, they weren't.



I was lucky enough to have a GLIMPSE at Eason Chen when he was walking out from Highland hotel while we were chatting with Xiang's friend whom works for the hotel.

Here he goes, Khalil Fong--his idol. no doubt, he is talented and his trip of attending this awards was a worth because he won few awards.

A mum-level singer- Kay Tse.  She won few awards too, well, she deserved it.

I was telling my friend: I gained weight, I need a hair cut and f**king fortunately I got pimples on my face for days; so in the other word is: I become ugly... See the photo...feel like "arghh"
Oh yea, allow me to be a vain, and siok sendiri. A guy asked me: you are model ah? when i was buying KFC... =p ...I still have market la wei~~~ XD

The awards started on time, because it was a live show from Astro.  Below are some photos for the night, and I only took photos for valued-celebs (in my own definition, they are not selling their face, making money by successful marketing strategies which credit should be given to their company and agent, like a boy group that will be introduced after one or two photos. ngek ngek)


Kay Tse with her first award at the night.

Khalil and Kay present another award for someone.

Khalil on the stage for his first award at the night.

This well-dressed (full set of formal suit) fella was equipped with 3 cameras, look at his lens....It could cost up to 5 figures for such a lens.

uh--huh...This is the group..."East and Folded" (forgive my direct translation, they are actually 东与哲which name is a combination of both handsome guys... Feel like a Taiwan boy's group, that's why they company and agent should be praised)


Eason, for sure he was the big winner of the day. if he wasn't, Genting could consider to organize a charity event of selling shoes. (I didn't believe his fans or audiences on the floor would so stingy of throwing their shoes to the stage in order to express their dissatisfaction)

and this is the ending of the night.

P/S: Nicholas won quite alot awards too. As mentioned, I only took photos for celebs that I think are valuable one. You got what i mean? *wink wink*

Resignation

It's been quite sometime i didn't update, because I was working. The job is not easy, worked as telemarketer and it is given a nicer name---teleconsultant. Nothing different what, still same job scope of making cold calling and persuade people to buy the product. Definitely not credit card, I was working in an international corporation which organize big exhibitions or corporate programs, while my job scope was to do research, get contacts and called companies come on board to be exhibitors or speakers in the conference.
 To make cold calling is not easy, especially when you don't know who you should speak to. I worked for 2 weeks only, the first week was training, the second week was started to call companies. Before calls to be made, research is a must, that's what make me quit. Personally I really don't like to do research, reasons being might be have done too much in UK? don't know, i just don't feel comfortable of doing it.
  When the thought of resigning was first poped up, I really scolded myself of how can i giving up so easily, not even tried out? Seriously, first thought was happened in the first week...and I was keeping persuading myself to give a try, don't give up so easily. Until Sunday after came back from their team building vacation which was held in Melacca. Everything was fine and i feel, started to love this company. After the trip i was so so tired, but have to do research still. What happened was I CRIED like no body business...why cried? I can't take up the stress...uh huh...this was something ashamed me "MIA CAN'T TAKE THE STRESS WHEN SHE WAS ONLY WORKING FOR 2 WEEKS" =.= ...my face was smooth and never grow pimples as what happened now, whether it was stressed up too much or something wrong with my body system? I don't know. my face looks like shit. After i worked here, seriously i became regular smoker. Well, this is not an excuse, but i really smoke again after working there.
  Has anybody tried of worrying the next day coming or waking up? I did...everyday I did research until mid night, sometimes eye closed but finger still clicking and hand moving mouse as if i was browsing internet. Previous post I said my eye get wet when i recalled study time in UK? it was because I compared working and studying period. Friends were telling me to quit if i don't like the job, but myself was telling me don't quit first even thought it was tough...>< but finally, i quit. With immediate notice, immediate leaving. Friends, don't take this as joke and throw the harsh question on me like: you can't even overcome the stress in your first job and you quit not even worked for one month? what else you can do?? Seriously, i chose to quit but I'm questioning myself the same question too. I wouldn't know what and how to answer this question and definitely I'll remain silent for sometime. A job that you don't even like, you won't stay long...

So now, I'm again hunting jobs.

Monday, January 11, 2010

What wear you down is not the choice you made but the choice you don't make.

what is the time now? 0109. I suppose to go to bed by now, as tomorrow need to wake up by 6, as normal. hmpf...I'm a working adult already.

I don't feel to complain how tough the job is; anyway, whose job is easy? By all means, by hook by crook, do first think after in a smart way. It is all right to have talking/ presentation/ pitching all the time, but I hate the part of doing research... I'm asking myself this question again and again, which job offers you such an opportunity of earning a maximum figure and yet that is within your capability? Visualizing life years later, not luxury but at least above average. If Doraemon do me a favor,  I'd request a machine to send me to 2 years later (with my decision of staying back in this company); it is silly, ain't it? 2 years wasted because of I don't want to face the cruelty of real life; why not i ask a courage medicine from Doraemon? *shake head*

I was looking at photos few months ago; watching clips of few months ago; watching clips in facebook which also took few months ago. I'm regret I didn't fully enjoy just because of a small matter of broke up; I'm regret and self-blaming of influenced by this matter, and hence result....*shake head, again*. When i look into photos with xiang, I regret why should I had insisted on the matter so long; it should be a precious moment, 3 months time of being together with xiang. *turn my head aside* but if without his cruelness, I won't even have a better candidate(haha! you are candidate). Thank you, to both of you.

Facebook becomes a channel to share things and gather; our clips are always being edited and posted. Every time watching is like memory tape rewind. The scene which we sang at Everton Park; the scene which we drove to Scottland; the scene which we played 'Hide and Seek' in kitchen with limited space; the scene which we watched strip show; the scene which we club; the scene which we're doing grocery shopping;  the scene which we sing K in my room; the scene which we discussing tomorrow's exam; the scene which we drunk and cried..because that was the last day of our study life....
Now i particularly miss the scene when we watched Meteor star in 11 Celsius night; the scene when we smoke at Everton Park when i was in sadness; the scene when we were at Cheshire Oak; the scene when we're discussing assignment that made me almost cry; the scene when we're arguing on certain issue; the scene when we drink Strongbow in room; the scene when I was meowing in your window; the scene when we buying stuffs for Europe trip...

What had past, it's past. It's been 4 months, it will be one year soon. Yes, i hate doing research, but time past with 'tic-tock-tic-tock' only. You don't catch means it tic-tocks away; you caught it at least it might be something hold in hand.

Remember I said tough doesn't mean face all problems alone without relying someone, but stand up and re-face? I need people by my side.Oh, maybe edge of toughness is being smoothen or soften, I feel like I'm not as tough as before?  Remember I said I don't force myself to be a tough one by measure my "toughness" with tears? So when I was typing scenes that we've gone through, my eye balls were moisturized...

random facts of me.

Everyone seems to update their blog less frequently since they have started work; assume I might joined their club after 5th Jan, I think I should just update more than I could do at months later. I ain't have much feeling or inspiration towards one particular thing, nor have a particular topic to start on, so... let's talk crap.

I've been sick for days, more than one week. Recover before Taiwan trip, I must. (Yoda)
Hey, do you know JEDI (from Star Wars) is a religion in UK? yea dude, it is... a lecturer told him, and he told us in his friend's small small gathering--his friend come back from Australia. HELLO, Joel, a korean-looking guy (very leng zai!); and him? Weixiang des....

I'm quite fortune to have friends like them. Gang A Gang B and Gang C.
I'm looking back at those photos of others took in Liverpool, I'm regret why didn't I take as much as them? My thought was cool : come on...it is just a street. I'm here for experience and memory, not for getting a fact to prove: "Hey, I've been UK, cool huh?"; but I overlooked the importance of photos, it is not merely prove where you've been, depends on how a photo was took. Raised your hand up 45 degree high and 'chik-chak' definitely is vain, which I rarely do; but a photo with different angles of a street, building, ornament, statue...helps to refresh your memory. Look back at my thought months ago, seems I reacted over-cool of attitude of taking photos non-stop. (I'm quite sick of people taking photos blindly, even a fallen leave was captured in the lens; I think my thought is evolving, photography has started to mean more to me)

Clumsy sometimes is my name, precisely, it is always my name. This clumsy lady just had her lunch downstairs and guess what, I'm not only bring a stomach filled with Roti bakar, half boiled egg, and milo back, also bring a scar of 2 inches long x 1cm width on my right tight. FOOK U! it is painful!

It bleeds straight after scratched by the bamboo chopstick. (why bamboo chopstick? ask the restaurant owner la, why put a half-broken bamboo chopstick instead of steel made bolt)

Another random fact of me: I'm quite blur. XD
the thing is this, Weixiang and me bumped into his friend- Kaixiang when we were on the way to Mid Valley, guys had some talks....then just now Kaixiang left a msg in Weixiang's fb, "asked ur gf quite blur one izi? ytd i intro myself to him but she never intro back"
Er....."Hi, I'm Mia. Nice to meet you" . Do it now, shouldn't be too late =p
No deny, I'm quite blur sometime.
and lazy worms is mass producing in my body. Everyday say I'm lazy, I must. (Yoda)
and the fact now is: I'm boring.

I guess i have a lot things to talk, but my mind gone blank now.
Recap the statement above : "so... let's talk crap. " remember? the first para.
The whole entry is about myself only, so I'm the crap. XD
ok la, not funny.......

(to be cont...)

Don't...lose....faith...

looking at friends around, almost all have gotten quite good offer, sounds like i didn't have one? Nah...i got an offer  and will be starting to work 2 days after Taiwan trip, "huh, so rush arh?" yea, i know. So, the job is like this
- do own research
- cold calling 
- Uncountable rejections
this is what i know, in order to have a better understanding of it; Google helped me a lot ^.< 
Internet is a public place(gosh, i always pronounce it pub-bic space ><), its ex-employers shared their comment in forums, 9 out of 10 were negative. =.=


Battle started, the masculine one said have a try and i don't think you can't; the feminine one worried about this and that. Not even start work, I'm already thinking so much. I was so desperate to get this job as the commission package is so so so attractive, and i bet not much companies could offer this. One thing for true and sure: sales, is the more effort you put, the more you can get; however in certain situation, it becomes partially true because it does not merely depend on how much effort you put but how well you can handle. (leave a space of imagination why i'd say this, the answer will be revealed soon) 


In the forums, there were successful and failed examples, failed examples contributed a large number of the total participants. From what i know from forums about the company: it is a non-stop smoking environment(yer.....i want to quit), unhelpful colleagues, and M.O.R.E
But everyone has confidence in me, you know what....? Battle start again. 


"Everyone has confidence in you, you can't lose one; Don't ever lose faith to yourself, if you don't have one, I've in you" 
VS 
"but i can't speak well....they need excellent Eng speaking....I'm bad in doing research...."


A voice raised: what encouraged you from wanting to get it so desperate? What you promised to yourself?
Now only i know how suffering one is caught in uncertainty. I'm so stingy to support myself. 


Arghh...time to read some books again!
Remember ? "And the secret is: be positive"

If people can stay there and climb up to corporate ladder, why can't I?
And do you realize what is the problem, i mean, what cause me lack of confidence? 
speaking....and English...I don't scare of speaking, honestly. So what cause me lack of confidence is speaking in English. 


Most of my friends agreed,  I don't speak terrible English, it shouldn't be categorized as bad, there are even worse out there. Maybe I'm expecting good work from myself?  "you won't be the best but won't be the worst either" 
Why am i so afraid of speaking? nabeh...


ohya...congratz to my panda for getting what he wants. 
"you wont be the best, but you are always part of the best" 
Cheers~ ^^
