上司的慶生會

晚餐的聚會

上個星期五，我的上司辦了酒席式的大吃會。當中我們可以有福享用七种佳肴的晚宴，非常豐富。我們到蘇邦再也的鱷魚餐館（Crocodile Farm)享用我們的美味晚餐。說真的我們也好久沒有聚餐了。是不是大家開始忙了呢？還是公司開始節省社員的開銷了呢？我自己也不太清楚。不過，這次聚餐，籍著上司的生日而舉辦的，大家也當然玩得不亦樂乎。

我的上司有個小毛病：就是喝酒後，會失態的搞笑。沒法子，可能心裏頭的情緒壓抑都一一給發洩出來， 也不妨是件好事。

搞笑演員

當晚，和往常一樣都有很多歡樂。

卡拉OK大匯演

當然，the night is still young。我們怎能夠就這樣把這美好的一個晚上就此划上句點呢？

不負衆望，我們以一貫的作風前往卡拉OK去唱個過癮。好久沒到卡拉OK去了，有點期待。原來太久沒去卡拉OK，它的裝修也未免太誇了吧？大客房除了有超大的電視熒幕，這次還添設了吧台和電玩。真有夠炫! 這樣，大家可以玩各自喜歡的東西，不寂寞哦！看來，大家真的玩得很愉快。

唱歌唱到兩點半，好累人！晚上半夜三更吃了不少水果和煎炸的食物，真得很傷身啊！還是趕緊回家好好休息了。

老闆，生日快樂哦！

My golfing experience

Golf, a love-or-hate game. My love for the game was that it entitled me for a walking exercise on a 9-to-18 hole green, and of course a chance to meet with top players and businessmen.

Two years ago, I took up a golf in golf-clinic organised by our sports club. It was an eye-opener for me. After that, I joined my colleague, Chang, to a par-3 course in Guthrie Bukit Jelutong for a tried-out. After that, I deligently went on to do my routine practice at driving range and visited golf courses in Venice Hill, UPM and also my most memorable experience in Sutera Harbour, Sabah.

After I switched my job function, I did not have the luxury of weekend and public holidays. That's where my golfing comes to a halt, a very long halt.

Revisit my golf session with a "new" coach with handicap 16 yesterday. The joy has somewhat comes back to me. I am so elated. Of course, the strokes and swings have long been forgotten; picking up the skills in a different light has definitely opened up a new dimension for me. Need a lot of brush-up and practice.

I now make a point to go practice with my new coach. I don't aim for being professional, but I do hope to become a consistent-swing player soon.

More work to do, coach!

Cutting staff leave from HR

Yesterday I received a work instruction from our top management with regards to the replacement leave. This so-called HR policy is like a sudden poison, replacing our current standard practice of one-day leave to half-day leave should we be working on Public Holidays.

My gosh, do these people from HR really know what the labour laws cover?

My job does not entitle for overtime. That's fine. Reciprocity. But, cutting our leave and disregard for the law is totally unacceptable, lawfully and humanitarian terms.

Working in a china-man company is already tough enough, benefit cutting and now our replacement leave, what's new?

My guess is maybe times are bad, cutting losses.

But, why don't we take this as a positive light? Taking care of your employees from the start, I am sure that these loyal staff will reward the company during the turbulence time. Even not until then, these same people will go the extra mile for the organisation that once take care of them.

I don't know what HR is thinking. It makes me feel more dishearten to know and help me see clearly that I don't have any vision of my future in this company.

I rest my case!

Yuee Shyang is getting married!

I have attended my old friend's wedding dinner yesterday evening, after a slightly more than 24-hour notice via telephone from the groom.

Shock I may seem, but it's hard to turn down a "great" friend's wedding invitation. Hahaha.

Putting on my beautiful dress, new shoes and some make-up took longer than I expected. By the time I realised I was late to the wedding reception. Everything seemed to be in a rush to me, and I am driving 120 km/h to reach the destination. Good friends from school even rang my cell to remind me of the occassion. I thank you for their kind concerns as I was on my way there.

Upon arriving, the bride looks fabulously gorgeous in red cheong-sam and of course my friend, the groom, was in his most handsome manner. Oh dear, a sense of jealousy and happiness just appeared the same time!

I am glad that he is getting married. Other friends have mixed feelings about it, but I must say I am now more than happy that my dear friend is marrying the gorgeous girl he has ever met and live happily ever after in China, or at least I thought in China for now.

Meeting old friends brought back nostalgic feeling. Everyone shared joy and laughter of those-were-the-days talks, exchange current gossips and current affairs, and of course last but not least, more camera man in the making for this splendid evening. It is more glad to know that I am surprisingly beautiful with more spoilt attention than I thought in my decent yet outstanding outfit I had. (perasan~)

I really enjoyed myself very much.

Yuee Shyang and Tan Shu (the wife), Congratulations!

Crazy Lady Driver of Audi

This morning around 0955, I was happily driving to office via BU 11 and BU 12 from Aman Suria, until I met with a crazy lady driver, who was a lady with short hair and with her sunglasses on.

What a shock!

I keep honking and honking and the driver seemed indifferent to that fact that she would have driven me to my dismay and possible fatal. I would never forget the look on this lady's face and also her car she drove - Audi in gold paint that bore the license plate WLM 9139.

What I did not comprehend was that this lady even accelerated after my alarming honk. For worse, she even crossed lane (again) while cornering. A inconsiderate bi*ch!

Even the taxi driver who wished to cross path with this crazy woman, thought twice after realised the agony that I have gone through. Gosh!

Maybe it's her "classy" egoisitc driving and her sunshades that blinds her judgement on the road. I wish she would regret and learn to be a savvy driver before more people would fall into prey of road casualties.

知交

最近和認識已舊的日籍朋友很有交情，不知怎麽的，感覺好像一見如故。剛剛認識的時候好像不是這樣的。會不會是大家見面的次數增加的關係，無所不談，加上大家的興趣一致，所以才成爲知交。

原來知交是一種很奧妙的關係，不能以言語說清楚他的來歷以及去向。很多時候，我會發現，即使大家有著言語以及生活方式的差異，也可以以一種默默不語的默契配合而成。大家互相的鼓勵，互相的尊重，以及把大家心裏所想的都不加掩飾地娓娓道來。很多時候，大家不用多說，心裏也有數。這種默契恐怕只有兄弟以及知交之間所賜有的吧！

很多時候人家說知音難求，我不得不相信其中的難度以及緣分。很多時候，相識是一種緣分。我相信這一回事。很高興可以認識到這位好朋友，真是令我有感幸福。惜緣惜福，我也應該有所覺悟。

由衷感激你的友情與厚待。讓我們的友誼長存。
