Am I Being Sensitive Or What???

Banyak dah case. Tapi minggu ni agak ketara sebab semuanya berlaku dalam satu minggu n berturut turut.
Sebelum ni aku ingat he was being nice trying to take the load off my shoulder. Tapi sejak akhir akhir ni mcm makin menjadi jadi plak.

Aku mula perasan masa @ndy assigned aku suh ajar @$h.Immediately after @ndy assigned tu dia terus webek aku ckp yg @$h mmg susah nak diajar. susah nak terima. kene sabar n all. I actually thanked him for that reminder. But in the end I find it fun to teach @$h. He accepted everything well. And he understand why I teach him that way. The best thing is, he never asked the same question twice.

So things went on.. I never cared actually. Banyak jugak berselisih pendapat tapi aku just take it as he's trying to remind me. Then one fine day @ndy webek aku tanya leh tak sub @ndy while he's going on vacation for 3 weeks. That 3 weeks will be on Ramadhan. I said yes and I told @ndy in case I need to travel or something I'll pass it over to 3ric.

The next day I talked to 3ric telling him that @ndy asked me to sub and I'll pass to him if I'm loaded. He said ok. Suddenly he went webek'ing' @ndy telling @ndy that it's going to be Ramadhan so Mariah will be tired so HE SHOULD BE THE SUB. I was like WHAT??!!!

Case 2: H0ngyu was in a customer meeting and sent a desperate email to @ndy. @ndy fwd that email to me to take care of it. The problem was I read that mail only the day after. Knowing that H0ngyu n 3ric are in the same time zone, I figure out H0ngyu might have called 3ric for help. Since H0ngyu is not picking up the I called 3ric up and ask. 3ric bagitau yg dia dah bagi apa yg H0ngyu nak. So I emailed H0ngyu saying that I heard that 3ric has helped and I guess the issue settled.

Tapi H0ngyu replied kata he actually needed another doc and still hoping me to help. So I made my research with the little information that H0ngyu bagi and sent that docs yg H0ngyu mintak. I also sent to the other 2 guys so that they will keep it for future reference. Soon after that 3ric replied to all mcm ckp kat H0ngyu
"apsal ko tak ckp ni doc yg ko nk. aku leh bagi ko la doc ni. x pyh nk hrp mariah. btw, doc yg mariah bg tu ko takleh pakai sbb ada 5 instrument tak sama dgn ko nye skop" (Nota kaki: bukan ayat sebenar tapi camni la aku baca dia)


How bout that? Aku malas nak reply pape. Biar je. H0ngyu pun senyap jek. So aku expect dia tau apa yg dia kena buat.

3rd incident: @ndy sent email mntk tolong sesapa yg free utk buatkan keje dia sket sbb dia tak menang tangan. @ minit lepas @ndy bagi email tu 3ric nye reply dah sampai bagitau yang dia ada submission due 3 haribulan but whatever.. he can still help.. throw me the jobs... Me? I realized that mail after 15 minutes. Then think for a while. Susun all my jobs and reply personally to @ndy "Sure.. My pleasure". No crap thing about when is my due date bla bla bla...

Really.. what is he trying to do? Kenapa sume benda aku buat dia nak pangkah? Aku yang sensitive sangat ke? 

I'm Invisible

5 in total. People just forgot about me. They forgot to return my call. They forgot the 'date' that we have agreed to have. They forgot that their boss has hired me. Worst, they forgot my name. Ouch! That's hurts... That's really hurt...

Winey is Sick

Intro - Winey is a car.

Poor Winey.... Malam tadi aku balik keje dalam kol 8 mcm tu. Dah gelap. Aku sorg je tinggal kat ofis. Turun bawah, mcm biasa masuk kete bagai start enjin. Bawak kete keluar dari parking. After about 3 meter away from the parking lot tetiba kete rasa berat.

1st thing to check was handbreak. It was released. So I tried again. Same sound and heavy feeling is still there. I went out of the car to see if something stuck in between the tyre. Nothing there. I tried again. Same.

Panic jap. Tarik nafas. Browse phone book. Call Murad. Takleh get through. Call Nabeel. Also cannot get through. Then call Kandeel. Alhamdulillah he picked up. He came back to the office.

In th emeanwhile, I didn't dare to move the car at all. Tengah jalan tengah jalan la. Pak arab dok bagi lampu suh aku move aku buat bodo jek. Kandeel sampai dia try same thing. Then dia put the car to N pastu tolak. boleh gerak n takde that weird sound. So we decided to tolak the car back into the parking lot. Called Europcar. They said they will be here in 1-2 hours time. Kandeel told them to come on the next day. He sent me home and i was sad all night...

So today...... Winey is gone on the ambulance ride to a hospital in Dubai....

You will be fine my dear... I'm gonna miss u a lot...

For A Friend In Need

Go Home

We had to go to Dubai for a customer meeting. This is my first meeting in Dubai since I have Whiney. I need the mileage as Whiney did not go out on the road that often. Plus, the other two guys are living in the desert which is already halfway to Dubai. It doesn't make sense for them to come to AD, pick me up, and then drive to Dubai.

So, I asked this guy, how do I go to his house. He was thinking on the best direction to give. Suddenly

"I'll give you my GPS. Tomorrow morning, you switch it on and press 'Go Home'"

Smart isn't it....

And in two days time we have to go to another meeting which is 'around the corner' of the desert. Again today, during lunch I asked another guy, how do I go there.

"All of us will 'Go Home' and we'll go from there"

Stress!!!

Amat jarang. Rasanya tak pernah aku menangis masa customer meeting. Tapi kali ni amat gila. N aku actually menangis bukan sebab customer. Sebab our own guy.

Aku spent one full week buat preparation untuk meeting ni. Aku stop semua keje lain. Bila org tanya aku just kata 'No, I have to complete this. I don't have time for any other things'. Sampaikan Andrea sendiri call aku personally mintak aku 'curi' one hour untuk reply email dia. Itu pun aku kata aku takde one hour nak bagi kat dia.

Dalam meeting mana yang aku pegi semua extra cost dah siap dalam tangan. Dalam meeting mana yang aku pegi dah siap approval untuk supply native file dalam tangan. Dalam meeting mana yang aku actually went through line by line and siapkan reply sebelum meeting. TAK PERNAH! Tapi for this meeting aku actually buat semua.

The customer was tough. I agree. But they are customer. Diorg tak paham macam mana kita kerja. U asked me to understand that the customer is dealing with 5 vendors. Then what about me?? How many customer do u think i have to handle for G@$C0? 23! And is that the only project? HELL NO! Aku ada 5 lagi projek lain aku kene handle. Yes. Customer tak tau. Tapi KO PATUT PAHAM!

Handling tough customer is ok. I canhandle. I have no issue. I'm fully capable of that. I've done that. Customer komplen pasal kitorg terlalu agresif? Ko tau kenapa kitorg agresif. Kalau aku bisik2 ingat customer nak dengar? Ko kata ko just nak convey the message. Ko ingat aku tak leh baca body language customer n know this by myself?

 I KNEW THAT BEFORE YOU TOLD ME. BUT DON"T ACCUSE THAT I"M NOT PREPARED FOR THIS MEETING. WHO ARE YOU TO SAY SUCH THING? YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BACK US UP. KEEP THAT COMMENT WITH YOU. ABSORB IT. WE'RE ALREADY IN A STRESSFUL MEETING AND YOU WANT US TO FEEL MORE MISERABLE??!!!

Lepas ni jangan harap aku nak datang sini lagi. Jangan harap aku nak tolong close kan project ko lagi. Kalau ko panggil aku datang sini untuk say 'Yes' to everything baik tak payah. Ko boleh jumpa customer sorg2 n say that 'Yes'. Banyak lagi sales lain yang perlukan khidmat aku.

Sekian.

Nak cite gak.. Takut lupa

Pagi tadi dalam teksi otw ke customer office, kitorg bercerita la pasal sewa rumah kat Seoul, AD, Kuwait bagai... Seoul n AD has almost the same. Then terbawak bawak ke cerita pasal kereta. JM tanya aku bawak kete apa. Aku cakap la Mazda CX7. SUV. Very big for me. JM tanya napa aku amik kete tu. Aku cakap coz itu yg plg kecik they have (my usual reply).

Makanya terbawak bawak la ke cerita pasal how big kete kat ME.

2.0 liter - itu kete mainan anak aku je..(aku = MT)

2-door car - bini aku pakai untuk g bilik air dari bilik tidur (MT lagi)

JM pun tanya, "What kind of car do u drive MT"

MT jawab, "I have a Hummer. A very small one"

Back to Seoul

It's raining here.. Heavily plak tu... takde can nak merayap...

Plan asal mmg cantik yang amat. Khamis cuti. Jumaat cuti. Sabtu cuti. Ahad kene ada kat Seoul. So original plan was fly from AD to KL on Thursday morning. Sampai thursday afternoon. Lepak Malaysia sampai sabtu, ahad fly to Seoul. Perfect.

So, I did my research with my lovely travel arranger (yang amat sabar dengan request2 ku itu). Total of 5 options. Called up Etihad to check flight availability to KL. Ada lagi kosong. Called my boss for permission. Got the permission. Chose my options, and asked Rozannae to book. Called Etihad to get that seat from AD to KL. HABIS!!!!!!!!!!


Terpaksa called Rozannae secepat mungkin untuk kensel Option 4 and back to Option 1 which is direct AD-ICN-AD.

Homesick kah? Tidak... saya cuma ingin mengambil kesempatan di atas peluang yg tersedia. Malangnya tak berjaya.. Cuba lagi di masa akan datang ye...

I Have Intention of Going to Azkaban

Tajuk di atas takde kene mengena dgn cerita di bawah.

Hari ni 1st time aku kuar dgn this one Malaysian guy yang aku kenal through FB. Takut gak. Alhamdulillah everything went well.

Bukan senang aku nak ada kawan kat sini. Nak cari mmg tak reti la. Kebetulan this guy tegur kat FB. Lama jugak la kitorg chatting. Dalam sebulan mcm tu. Then semalam public holiday. Hari ni aku mmg rasa nak tgk Transformer 3 sebelum biz trip to Korea. Takut miss mcm miss X-Men.

Ntah macam mana sblm keluar tu chat dgn this guy kejap kat FB. I told him that I'm going out. Then dia kata dia pun nak tgk Tx3 gak tapi tak nak tgk sorg. (Ngayat kah itu?) Aku tetiba selamba je ajak dia g tgk skali. Maka terjadi la janji itu.

Tgk kat AD Mall je. First time kuar je mesti AD Mall. huhu.. Kenapa? Sebab itu tempat mainan aku. Apa apa jadi umah dekat. Beli tiket, dia bayar. Aku nak bayar balik dia tak nak amik. Abis wayang lapar la plak kan. Nak makan. Aku ingat nak makan dalam AD Mall je. Tapi dia ajak g Noodle Bowl kat Zayed Sport City. Rasa macam ok gak. G la makan sana. Dia bayar lagi.

Tu je. Pastu aku balik rumah. Kene balik. Kalau tak nak gak lepak lagi tgk live band kat memana kan. Tapi memandangkan esok aku ada flight kol 8.45 pagi.. lupakan je la hasrat tu dulu... Maybe next time...
