wants, or needs?
Just came back from GYM...... what ? what ? what ? did i hear wrongly? Daniel goes to the gym... haha .... yeah he make it a point to go with goliku this morning ....
why? simple ....coz a lot of people say that i m growing fatter and fatter ....if one of them say..i'll take it as a joking remark... but when more than 1 says the same thing ... i think i better watch out ..... haha more because... i dont 1 to face health problems... in my early years of life... or perhaps .... the later years of life...
so my achievement for today
25mins of cycling.....
manage to cycle more than 10 km i think...
proud of it when i see my sweat pouring down .. :)
after some remarks and comments from friends.
The conclusion in regards to the SE500i is that the keypad cracks easilly... and that will be the main problem..other than that its ok .. but ...it is not a 3G phone... so have to scout 1 phone which have almost the same price ... but with 3G functions...
list of things that i need / want ? (updated)
1. ipod touch
2. SE 880i
3. An external hard drive ( since dad says i need to back up my doc in my house old pc,coz it will refuse to work anytime)
4. A bag(school bag, but of course the more modern 1).. mine is already torn... and not mine actually.. is my sister's old bag...
5. Air purifier/ refresher for my room(KL)... (it stinks when the opposite house cook something, and the smell blows into my room)... belacan smell= stinky feet smell... hahaha
6. pencil case ( torn as well )
7. A leather shoe
8.A walking shoe
looks like the list will go on and on... and it will certainly cost me a bomb!.. Satisfaction that can be derived from fulfilling and buying the things above is of course undeniable and irresistable.. but 1 thing that can be sure ...This are all temporal... Humans will never get satisfied with what they have.. and soon the feeling of satisfaction will fade... that is way .... Clinging to HIM is still the best... In Him, you will find love,peace,hope,joy and more importantly... Our purpose in this world.... It is when we have a purpose in life, only we will have a sense of direction and not sway with the circumstances when it actually approaches our life...
Conclusion: Earthly things always seems to be more tempting... but it does not give us an eternal sense of security and also all the values in life...what seems to be more appealing in our lifes now ?

Sony Ericson S500i
i was thinking of buying this phone when i get my wages next month... any opinions ? this would be my first time buying a phone for my self i guess .. to buy the phone ? or to keep the money ? i think i should buy it since the money value of money is higher than of the money value in the future...mainly because of inflation!!hehe..a nice phone.... so now .. on my list
1. ipod touch( my parents buy it of course)
2. S500 i (buy on my own)
my dear son , come home
Today is a saturday, so as usual after having a short nap in the afternoon ... get myself ready .. and off i drive to church... when i open the automatic gate this evening...an indian man was standing right infront of the gate.. of course i got a shock .. in my heart... i was saying .. oh no.. this time he is going to have possession over my pda and stuff like that ... he is a thief!! from the first look i knew it!... i just cant help but putting the word "THIEF" on this face...well, i actually put aside and observe further .. to make sure that i did not accuse him... he was actually stunned as well when he sees me opening the gate... we stared at each other ... i was scared honestly ... i unlock the car and i hop into it ... the first thing i did was to lock the car! so.. i felt safer in the car... i didnt press on the accelarator and run ... but instead i stayed in the car for a moment. . looking at his actions through the mirror... he tries to hide .. but the bushes are not sufficient enough.. and i saw him wanting to climb into ppl's house as well... and he suddenly walk to my direction ... i checked once again dat the car is fully locked ... he stood at the back of the car.. and i duno what his purpose was... i dun care ... i had to reverse the car two times.. because there is a car blocking infront of me ... off i went ... i plan to stop the car after passing by few hours.. but never did i expect that he ran after to my direction again .. i got panicked and i press on the accelerator ... and i actually stopped the car again after about a 100 m drive... i phone my uncle .. and tell him about this ... i was some how expecting him to come towards my direction again ... i looked at the mirror of the car again ... and as what i ve expected. .. he is snatching someone's belongings.... i saw an old man running towards my direction and that indian man following at the back..from the way he acts i know he is a beginner ......and i m really thankful that i m safe....
when i look back of what had happened just now , it will be an easy thing for him to attack me since when i open the gate i was just infront of him and facing him .... but somehow he didnt do anything to me until i get into the car.... am i lucky? i would think that it is not ... i would think that it is God who is protecting me ... and suddenly it awakens me actually... for the pass week most of my time is taken up by my job.. and i have less time for HIM ..... even when doing my daily devotion ... my heart is not fully into it ... and so often than not ... we are more keen in pursuing worldly things rather than seeking and pursuing eternal treasures... when we are busy, GOd will be put in the second place... and i must confess this is what happen to me for the pass week as well . The incident that happen just now is not totally that bad at all .. but it is actually God who allows it to happen ... and reminding me that HE IS GOD .... and wants me to come back to HIM once again ... God often use people and situations that is surrounding us to pull us back to HIM...The world and the things in the world is so uncertain....and i m happy that this incident happened today.... to remind me that not to be too satisfied and take things for granded.... Thank you God for this reminder .. AMEN!

valueable experience
For the pass two weeks, it had been an "happening" week for me, not in the sense of jolly jolly with friends everyday, but rather indulging my self into the working world... so i had actually shifted from a studying environment to a totally "stranger" working environment , which leaves me with a lot of memories,experience, lessons, and thoughts.
how so? well i ve work for dd's dad as an exhibitor in ARCHIDEX 08... the job is basically to stand there from 10 something in the morning till 7.30 in the evening....but then, when i actually look at it ... there are a lot of things for me to learn throughout this 4 days of work. It may sound very mundane and even very normal for some ppl... working only mah ... you work you get paid.. that's it ... but then for me ...it's a bit different .. i've actually get to brush up my communication skills with the customer.. and even have the opportunity to have table talk with big bosses in regards to future business deal between two companies and stuff like that .. what more, the boss actually treat us well... in the sense that . they don't see us as workers.. merely working for them.. but then treat us more like a friend... giving us business opportunities ... and allow us to follow up with our customers after the exhibition...and yeah .. of course ... that is another advantage... because the commission is no small sum!... haha... For 4 nights, the big boss never failed to treat us with good food ..... when i say good food.. its really GOOD.... the price is even GOODER... ok la ... is better i mean ..not like he belanja us hawker food.. but big restaurants...Every nite after work, although we are tired.. but then we are looking forward to work the next day as well... now i fully understand .... management style and leadership style that a manager approaches is indeed the crucial matter that determines the motivation of the worker..and the choice that a worker will make whether to leave the company or continue working for them... oh ... did i tell you that the boss fetch us to work and fetch us back from home every morning and nite? see... where to find this kind of employer. ... yeah .. i trully enjoy the 4 days of work there ....
Slept late on sunday night, but woke up early morning on monday ... 6.30... coz that will be the starting of my new work... followed jessica to the office .. with the expectation that the job is easy... and with good pay ... honestly the pay is good ... compared with other jobs... well.. sat down and getting ready to receive my task for that day ... the supervisor... gave me a stack of details and call list for me to phone ... by the way .. my job title was TELE SURVEYOR... in my mind ... i think ... easylah this job.. phoning people only mah ... but then as days pass by ... i realise that it will be my last priority from my worklist... if i m given the opportunity to choose between jobs... that actually explains why most of the tele surveyors in that company are senior citizens. . perhaps they have more patience i guess
so what is so hard about the job? ok.. first ... one day you have the call 130 people .. with the average of 10 details you need to get from the receiver..If we cannot manage to finish to call 130 ppl ... it will be carried forward to the next day .. so in fact.. you will have more than 130 call list per day .....your two ears will be red by the time it reaches 5.30..... and the refusal rate have to be kept to the minimum.... Honestly speaking ... if someone were to call me to ask for all those details .... i wont even give them any of it .. and will just hang up the phone ... true enough... a lot of ppl experience prank calls from various companies.. and this makes our job tougher and more challenging .... sometimes it is not how we talk to them that matters.. is that the mentality is already there that .... wow .. this company must be doing some fishy fishy business...and this is something the MANAGER would not understand... you see the difficulty now ? .... adding on to that ... for small small matters you will be scolded ....and i wonder why the supervisor likes to scold ppl early in the morning .... which makes me get fed up even from the start of the early morning .. and makes me decide not to work anymore ... its not that i cant take remarks and stuff like that ... but words really cant describe the working envoronment that we are in .... and can you imagine .. being scolded by the receiver of the call and at the end of the day... get scolded by the superior which things that you are not polite in asking them for details ....you can even get scolded even when it is not your fault....
Never the less, there is still lessons for me to learn from here... well, i think this is how the practicability of working environment operates..autocratic leadership style.... is something that i'll never like and appreciate... from this job... it really act as an eye opener to me .... to get a week of experience of how ppl in the office work.. and i began to realise that i dont like office work at all .. it is so boring and repetitive... i will prefer a job with more communication... as in face to face... Every day for the pass week... i had to go out of the house early in the morning ... even before the sun shines ..... and reach home late at nite ... when the sky is all dark...that leaves me with no extra quality time for my self .. and some of my friends .... by the time when i am back ... had dinner and a nice bath ... i'm already too tired to do anything .. and the bed is my best place dat i ll go after that..of course for this tele surveyor job.... i've learn how to be patient and tolerant...and be thick skinned at times...

RUSTY-ing, no more
since i'm starting work tomorrow, i think i should pen down something here...if not, i dont think there will be any time for me to post new entry here again....
for the pass week, i had been going up n down of KL, and this had caused ariel n boon to be confused where i m.. haha ... anyway it was not intentional but rather unavoidable.. Last thursday, i was suppose to meet up with the CG ppl at citrus park for lunch,however, that morning the supervisor of 7-evelen called me for an interview at 12p.m... so i went la for the interview.. from the expression of the manager.. i know i wont get the job since she says she needs me to work for at least 4 months, this is smth which i could not commit.She called me to wait for her call, and since i m impatient,but more because that i m sure i wont get that job, i went to citrus park to find a job..For you guys info, citrus park is a place situated in OUG, where the concentration of makan places such as fast food restaurants,eatery, makan stalls,chilling place etc etc are very large...
therefore,it can be said that the vacancies available for me there are plenty.. I saw a bannner outside Mcd, indicating that they want new workers, but when i asked them, they said that at the moment they dont need any... so .. next destination i went to Pizza Hut.. To cut the story short, i manage to get that job.. but the terms are kinda discriminating and unfair... want to know why ? ask me! haha ... nevertheless, at that very afternoon, i rushed back to muar... since i need to get somethings done for that interview....bla bla bla... and for some very stupid reason, i decided not to work at pizza hut ... Since, the supervisor didnt even take my interview form and stuff like that .. that makes me even more not to go to work..Rushed back to KL on saturday, and on sunday i went to UM to help mian yi out in her stuff.. but i know i didnt help much ... hahaha...
if not mistaken, on monday, while chatting with jessica, she said that she will be starting work the next day, n she told me her pay was Rm60 per day... this attracts me even more ... i asked her to help me ask whether the boss still need any ppl for the job ... and she said yes...woohoo...the next day i went for the interview and i got the job... starting work next week...and this would mean i will need to wake up 6.21 every morning.. coz the job is in PJ..i think its worth it .. and its a five day week..this allows me to go to church and hang out with friends perhaps.....
Yeah, why RUSTY-ing no more?its simply because i will be working for daphne's dad in KLCC for four days...Early morning out, come back late at night.. but i think i ll enjoy the job together with daphne matt n jess..My job ends at Sunday.. and monday will be the starting of my new job...It will certainly be tiring i guess...but yeah ,currently this is the life i want ... Finger crossed that i'll be able to adapt to it ....
Oh ya, before i forget, ariel is leaving for Australia tomorrow...Hey ariel, take care when you are there ya ... Continue to put God as ur first priority in everything that you do and in your life.. May God bless you and hope you have a safe journey there tomorrow... Do remember us in Malaysia...cant meet up wit u this couple of days, but then i can still remember ur face la... Dun worry .... haha ... and i gonna say that u had been a great sis-in-christ on mine.... take care
p/s: i went to KLCC early today, and guess what? i spend a lot of time playing wit the ipod touch... still not mine though... it belongs to the shop.. haha ... m currently still waiting for 1... and yeah ... i'm still very in love with it , the same goes to my friends as well... i want it soon!! can i?:)
