20 Sept 2009

Almost two weeks I am not able to put on my thinking cap for writing something in this blog. Yeah..ini gara-gara:-

1. 16 September - Apa yang digemburkan/dicanang/diwar war/ diteriakan oleh semua ahli penduduk di malaysia ni tidak menjadi kenyataan. Datuk Sri Anwar berjaya menakutkan umat UMNO dengan retoriknye, sehingga satu gerombolan telah dihantar ke Taiwan untuk belajar bercucuk tanam pada musim taufan sedang melanda. Gerombolan ini berjaya membawa golf set, baju pakaian, dan cukup wang utk membuat lawatan sambil belajar. And the best part, this event held during bulan Ramdan, and the worst part was majority gerombolan ini adalah orang ISLAM...(please think positively).

2. Terlampau sibuk dengan budget for 2009. Dah 2 minggu tak mengerjakan terawih.aduhh. Berjaya membuat satu presentation yang amat "okay" on 18th September. Managed to convince top management that year 2008 will be a good year. In fact, still a lot of thing kept in my sleeve, waiting for a good/right time. For year 2009, most of managers budgeting/forecasting on lower figure. Was not accepted by me and top management. They have to think and re-work/re-do/re-think, what they are supposed to do to justify their higher expense but lower sales. Yes, the outlook is not going to be bright, but what i told them, you have family to feed, our staff have family to grow, they need money, by hook or by crook, we/company/family need to survive. What ever happen outside there, we have to think about our family, our staff, our company.Having said that, the bottom line was still not improved. Instruction from top management for me to intercept and to re-look their business plan, which i felt another burden..but "saya yang menurut perintah"

3. Today, I am still stuck in the office. Yes, only crazy people working on saturday. But, the supplier/staff payment need to be paid at least 3 of 4 days before raya. Thats why on my table, 2 boxes of cheque need to be signed by today.

4. Recently, went to 4 to 5 hotels for buka puasa event. Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hyatt Saujana, Holiday inn Glenmarie, Sime Darby Convention and Bluewave Shah Alam. For me, as a food-cautious person, i give full rating to Hyatt Saujana. Reason
a) Convenience. Parking/accessibility/ and most important thing is SURAU. Selalunye, aku akan menjamah sedikit dan meneruskan dengan solat maghrib.
b) Variety of foods - memang perh...sebab aku jarang makan banyak pada bulan pose. Bila kat sini, aku hilang pantang.Dari kambing ke udang ke ayam ke nasi ke mee ke semuany aku rasa. Balik rumah, berat aku naik 2 kilo.
Tapi, aku bandingkan dengan Mandarin Oriental, harga memang sembelih, choice of foods tak banyak, aku siap lapar bila sampai rumah lepas buka puase.

Selamat Berpuasa..ada 10 hari lagi nak raya. Belum beli/shopping for my abah and emak. Ingat nak beli kain dan butang baju melayu. Papahal pun, kena call diorang..i am very bad taste of shopping something espcially to my parent or woman...
