New destiny...

Well well... after all my prayers and sweat worrying that I will not be able to get a job asap to sustain my living (show's money will come normally after 1 month of the performance) especially my car instalment, God has faithfully answered my prayer.... guess what?


Yeah, I got an job offer today.

Went an interview 10am this morning with CTW, a gift design and manufacturing company providing B2B services to the clients located at Sentul Bouleverd business centre.


My job position? You will never be able to guess it...


I am going to be a sales person this time!!! Sounds rediculous, right?


Yes I have been argueing and denying that I will never wanna be a sales person because I hate pushing sales and meeting targets. However, the interview session this morning provided me lots of insights on the job description and responsibilities. That interview secured my doubts on being a sales person. I have peace listening and observing what kind of working environment it might be if I would to take up the challenge.


She promised to give me the answer by Friday so I would start work from the beginning of Jan if the mother, who is incharged of HR agree on it. However, later the evening she called and granted me the offer.


God is soooo good... so faithful in everything He is to bless.


Even though the basic pay is so much lower than my previous job, I guess the job scope fits me more... I suppose.



so... in one day.. my mood of job hunting turned from anxious to stable.


I shall not mentioned more about it until I am both legs in the job.


So lovely peeps... be patient I will update more of it sooner (I hope lol..)




May God bless you with a wonderful year end and another prosper New Year to come. Amen!!!!

Melilea show again

Some of the girls have written on the Melilea show as well.. go pay a visit if you free to know what kinda FUN we had for the loooong hour preparation for the one day show yeah...


click on I-Lynn's blog, Stephanie CHU, Sze-Lynn (Z-Lynn) as well as our Princess Estella's (Winnie Thye) site to know more...


Have FUN reading!!

In reply to our Princess Estella

This is what our Princess Estella had written on her blog... since MySpace does not allowed non-members to leave any comment.. I am going to reply her through here... This is what she has written...

In reply to my dancers’ blogs...
Current mood: surprised

Today I managed to read some of my dancers' blog regarding the show we did last Sunday 16th Dec. I was pleasantly surprised at what they had to say. I would have thot that after a gruelling 2 full weeks of rehearsals and 2 sessions of 7-hour venue rehearsals at a stuffy, 'unair-coned' stadium would put them off these kinds of show for life! But I was wrong, pleasantly wrong...for what I understood from their posts...they were hooked!! Eva even asked me for more shows like this one!!! Goodness Gracious...

I suspect that there is a greater power at play this time that has somehow made all the hardwork, sweat, sufferring and pain go away. This greater power lies in the name of friendship and passion. I saw a great many true friendships forged amongst my dancers in this two weeks that they have been rehearsing together. Also I think they have discovered the passion and joy of performing what I would call a 'mini-musical'...for this time they were not there just to dance and produce steps after steps after steps...this time the steps were easy...anyone could have done it... but I think they enjoyed the acting part and to be part of the storytelling of the show. May not be much compared to full fledge musicals, but it is something different for them.

I was truly touched after I read their posts. For it's been a long long time since I've know enthusiasm and passion from dancers in general. This group is considered very very infant in their career as a pro dancer...some of them might not even last...but I take it personally, that at least this time there is a spark of passion, there is dedication and there is enthusiasm. I am truly proud of them and I hope that time in the industry will not dampen this spark, for it has done so in many of our dancers.

Yes Dear Princess, there was some supernatural power happening around us. The Friendship, and the Love we have for one another. We did not really have any sweat on our rehearsals, only the last two days' venue in Bukit Jalil. Furthermore, it was not torturing or suffering or anything.. because I felt so relax during the rehearsal. Other than the steps are easy... I shall say this out...'it's also because you enjoy the fun together with us unlike some of the previous ones...' Remember the day after I show them the freeze and all the sudden we all got down on the floor together to do crazy yoga post... stretching and etc? That pull you one BIG step closer to us. ^^ Also, I love the first rehearsal where you got all of us sit down together in telling the story line.

You mentioned the word different... Yes.. this time the rehearsal, story line, acting, and show is really different for us. We had not sat down together to listen of the whole story before... we had not done any stun before during rehearsal... we had not have any acting musical before... we had not feel so relax before for any show...

The main reason where we enjoy so much of the rehearsal is also because of... People. We have fun so much together.. because we treat one another as true friend. No politic, no jealousy, no nothing.. but just the same passion... performing.. and having fun at the same time.

I am surprised to see you blog about what we've written too... I thought you know how much we love and miss the time we had. ^^

It is really FUN... and I miss that badly... you might not noticed.. but I do notice that you have changed so much... I love your changed especially the fact that you take me as a friend instead of another one of your dancer.

Hope to see you soon.. our Princess Estella.. we will fight the 'Snake' and save you the next time eheh...

Hugggz...

Melilea Show photos

Hey hey lovely people..


I have uploaded the Melilea show photos on my multiply site... go check out our FUN... ^^

Again, it's been days...

I did not update my blog...

My mind is been messy... other than the hectic last week of everyday rehearsals for the last Sunday's Melilea show @ Bukit Jalil Putra Stadium... I am busy too, looking for a new job.


Going to rehearsals... come back home.. check emails.. picking up calls arranging interview sessions... arranging dancer for some shows... etc etc etd...



My brain was quite in a mess...



I-Lynn is been chasing me for a new update on my blog.. yeah I should record these new sweeties in my post before I forgot about the fun and joy that I had with them.

The dancers list for the 16th Dec Melilea Show include two main characters-Jason (Sir Valent), Winnie Thye (Princess Estella), Male dancers - Aaron Khor, Eddie Chan, V-Selm (zai zai), Calvin (AhXiang), Alan (Ai Ren) and Female dancers - See Ngar, Stephanie CHU, Sze Lynn, I-Lynn, Hui Qing, Jo-Z and me.



In total, we had 7 days rehearsal (app. 21 hours) and two venue rehearsal at Putra Stadiun (app. 12 hours) and one full day of the real show day (10.30am - 8.30pm) on 16th Dec 2007. It sounds like a very hectic and crazy long hours practice for the less than few hours show, however, the process was really fun because this show include more acting than dancing. So basically we were laughing, joking, jumping, cut whiling, learning some funny stuns, talking nonsense and etc...


Friendship generated through the long hours of hanging out together, even though some of us first met at the rehearsal. Lots of laughter and funny times where I could not record them down one by one here... all I can remember is, there were so much fun!!


As the two days venue rehearsal were from 8pm till about 2am, some gals stayed over night in my small little room. ^^ That's was the time where we have crappy jokes and laughs...

In terms of age differences, they are just like 17-18 years old... but because of our passion for performance and dance, there were no age gap at all. Maybe because I am playful in nature some times I was the one leading them in doing some funny and crazy stuff to spare our long waiting time.


Yesterday we went out again, not only because we missed the fun we had together so much.. partly also due to the request of our lady boss Winnie Tai asking us to watch Peter Choo (one of the famous event dance choreographer in Performance industry)'s Christmas roadshow in Mid Valley to learn more on the experience dancers' face expression and how well they could capture the audience's attention.



As we were craving for both sushi and the show Enchanted for so long (we did plan a couple of times but failed to execute it due to time factor), so all the fun plan was nicely packly plan in accomplishing it in one day (meet in Mid Valley for 50% Sushi King, 4.40pm for Enchanted then 8pm for the Christmas dance performance). Finally, we got to carry the plan out nicely w/o any hindrances coming along our way. We took lots of fun photos too while walking around mid valley. In fact we did not do any shopping, our focus were very much on Sushi, Enchanted, Photo taking, then watch the dance. lol. Definitely, laughters and jokes never stop while we were hanging out... we just can't bear to say goodbye to one another, as we know we might not have the next chance to enjoy together again (some going to college soon, I might start working soon once I got one... one going on cruise for his singing career for 10 days, etc etc)...



Time is so precious, it never stops... good moment come and go... photo become the only thing that could hold our memory together... sad~ I so miss the rehearsals time for the Melilea show that I could have fun with the dancers. It's the first time where I could enjoy the rehearsal and show soooooo much. Beautiful memories... If only all the coming shows I could work with the same group of dancers and same fun spirit would be great, but that's quite impossible.


At the mean time, I am thinking what kinda job will best fit me due to my extreme extrovert characteristic. Talked to daddy over the phone just now because i am feeling really lost in all the job hunting. I do not wanna pick any because I am desperately needing a job. In addition, I do not want to pick a wrong one and in return become a job hopper. That's not my style... I want to take my job as a fun thing in doing each day... it's quite impossible to get those kinda job.. i believe many would say the same to me.


I have been following one of my dancer friend V-selm (zai zai) for his singing show for two days and was asked to perform few songs on stage. I felt so happy singing on stage... it feels the same as though I am doing my dance performance too. Didn't understand how much I love stage performances until I sang on the stage last night. However, I know clearly I can't take performing as my permanent career.. I have my commitment where I have to clear each month, I need a stable job.. singing and dancing could be taken only as a part time recreation for me.




So... please pray for me.. I need a direction in knowing what line I should go into and what job best fit me...


Thanks and that's all for today's long post...




Be Blessed!!!!

Why would bad things happen if God does exist?

Eva: Many do ask 'If God is real and He does exist, why would HE let so much of pain, suffer and bad things happening around the world, and especially to us, His creature?'
Let's read on the following story, it would best explain the reason of those pain and suffer.

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God exists.'


'Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?


If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.' The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.


Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the
barber shop again and he said to the barber: 'You know what? Barbers do not exist.'

'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber.
'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!'
'No!' the customer exclaimed.
'Barbers don't exist because If they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.'

'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.'
'Exactly!' affirmed the customer.
'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.'

Eva: So... when you are in pain, call upon His name. He is jz there at the corner waiting with wide open arms to embrace us...

WHY don't we pray?

The highest privilege ever afforded to man is the power of prayer...
The right to talk to the highest potentate in all the universe...
The most powerful force accessible to man is the potential of prayer...
The greatest longing in the heart of God is to talk to His children...

Nothing is impossible to those who pray...
No man ever fainted or faltered who gave himself to prayer...
Every sin is forgiven, every stain is washed clean, all guilt diminished to
the man who prays...

Hell moves farther away, satan flees from the man who prays...
Anointing will come, mountains will be moved, valleys made smooth, rivers
made crossable, the inaccessible made accessible, the impossible made
possible, dreams come through to the man who prays...


God said that men ought always to pray...

Paul encouraged prayer without ceasing...

The riches of heaven are open to those who pray in His name...


Everyone can pray, the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the strong, the
weak, the child, the aged, the sinner, the prisoner, in any nation, in any
language, all can pray...




...then why don't we pray?




WHY?

How to stop persistent night time cough?

My church member forwarded this to our e-bulletin... Why not give it a try if you have found no ways in stopping it. Share with me if it truly works once you try on...

Try this method if you have persistent cough esp at night!


It works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.

Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

An adult friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.

So, if you have kids/grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

A story for you to laugh on...

A peasant was overseeing his herd of animals in the last family farm in Singapore when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the peasant, "If I tell you exactly how many sows and piglets you have in your herd, Will you give me a piglet?" The peasant looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the peasant and says, "You have exactly 986 pigs and piglets."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my piglets," says the peasant.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the peasant says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my piglet?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a MP for the PAP", says the peasant.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the peasant "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid inspite of your million dollar salary for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about pigs...this is a herd of goats. . . .
Now give me back my dog."

Hearing God

Another story that I've found from my old mails... take as short as 2 mins to read on... ^^

The young man had lost his job and didn't know which way to turn. So he went to see the old preacher. Pacing about the preacher's study, the young man ranted about his problem. Finally he clenched his fist and shouted, "I've begged God to say something to help me. Tell me, Preacher, why doesn't God answer?" The old preacher, who sat across the room, spoke something in reply -- something so hushed it was indistinguishable. The young man stepped across the room. "What did you say?" he asked. The preacher repeated himself, but again in a tone as soft as a whisper. So the young man moved closer until he was leaning on the preacher's chair. "Sorry," he said. "I still didn't hear you." With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke once more. "God sometimes whispers," he said, "so we will move closer to hear Him." This time the young man heard and he understood.

We all want God's voice to thunder through the air with the answer to our problem. But God's is the still, small voice. . . the gentle whisper.

Dear Beloved, perhaps there's a reason. Nothing draws human focus quite like a whisper. God's whisper means, that sometime we must stop our ranting and move closer to Him, until our head is bent together with His. And then, as we listen, We will find own answer. Better still, We can find ourself closer to God.

Here's a forwarded mail from my Church, Grace Church e-Bulletin. It's a short and meaningful stories for us to ponder about how we, human tend to me selfish and greedy. I hope you enjoy it as I do...

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, " Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."



The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.



In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering .



The Lord said, " You have seen Hell."


They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.




The holy man said, "I don't understand."


"It is simple," said the Lord " It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."



When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you. It's estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title 7%

My Resignation

I guess I shall post this up instead of explaining it one by one to my friends...


I have resigned from my previous company - Fitness Innovations. My last day of work was 30th November, last Friday.

Reason:-
NOT because...

• I hate that company
• I hate my colleagues
  
• I have any fight or argument with anyone

But because...

• I can't sit still in the office for 8 hours, it's killing me for doing pc work from 9am - 6pm
• I can do paper work and administrative work.. but not taking it as my main job
• I do enjoy designing artwork and flyers.. but again sitting still is killing me.
• working 6 days (Saturdays have to stay till 2pm), which means I will have only less time with myself, family and friends..

In conclusion, even though I do miss my colleagues, bosses.. the company. I can't sustain my motivation to work any longer... it's kinda boring to me to stay full time in office.



For my personality and character, I like talking to people, like scouting and observe around with new stuff. I can't work for money sake, can't take money blindly yet not performing, can't lie to myself saying I will get over it.. it's unfair to both myself and the company.


So, after some times of consideration, I have decided to resign even though i have not found any new job yet. I am not a risk taker for sure... but, I can only go for interview after my resignation because my company is small, it's impossible for me to get leave for no reason (even it's unpaid leave also). Also, I find it unfair for the company if I started looking for job before I resign... it's about loyalty... to me.


Thank God for giving me shows in December to cover my expenses in January. The talent that He has given me in performing would be able to at least sustain my living for the next month.

So my plan is, sending resume out this month while i am doing my performance. At the same time thinking of what kind of job scope I am looking for that would suits me better. I do not want to work for the sake of money. No point dragging my leg to work each morning and mourn about my work. No point. I want to enjoy my work.. love my job... that's the reason why I resigned last week too.


I have gone for an interview.. no news yet. Really hope to get into fashion industry, however, it's never easy.. I know.


Well, since my plan is never good enough.. let's see what's God's ^^



All right... I shall fixed myself before getting into another new job too.


That's all for now... Night!


p/s: Fitness Innovations does have good fitness learning courses.. Do consider and visit Fit Website for more information yeah... or you shall contact me.. I still able to provide information for you...^^

HOT NEWS!!

Why Women Cry

Beautiful story that everyone should read.. especially Man...

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

"When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."


Tell this to every man, so he can understand!

Isn't this a beautiful story that gives me a great reason and explanation that I easily tear? (I would use tearing instead of crying because, I tear.. does not mean I am crying.. lol)


I love the way 'Why woman cry' is presented.

.Lovely.

Junction

I find myself standing at a junction.

There are way too many directions, where do I stand?

Where should I head to?



So many things floating in my mind. I am loosing my focus.


This sentence that taught by Uncle Joshua in the Master Builder (bible study) class is still clear in my mind- Do not make any decision if you can't. Many times in my life I tend to decide base on my own human strength and wisdom simply because I am impatient in waiting for an answer.

It's proven in that kind of situation, I normally make the worst and stupidest decision.

True enough, Do not make any if you can't one.


In our daily lives, there are thousands and millions and billions of decisions and choices we have to make. Picking the right and best one is doubtfulness the hardest things to do, some times.


My faith tend to fluctuate at times.
Thankfully, Holy Spirit will turn me back to the right road each time.



So here I pray...
Lord, You know what's best for me... and You know best what and what not to do. Now I commit myself into Your hands, and pray for Your grace and mercy in leading me through the junction where I am standing now. Show me Your way, that I will not go into the wrong path again. Grant me Your wisdom, strength, love, peace and mercy for my daily lives. Walk ahead of me to lead me, behind me to push me and around me to protect me. I put myself in Your hand, and please take control of the situation.

Your plan, is always the best plan.
Your way, is always the best way.

Show me Your way and Your plan... so I will be able to follow Your steps.

In Your mighty and most beautiful name I pray, Amen!


Another day has passed. It's time to prepare myself for another day again.



Time for devotion and bed.



night!

It's been days..

that I did not update my blog.


No reason.


Maybe because my emotion and thoughts were messy, I can't put them into words...


Hmm... anyway life is still good. God is still working in my life. I see His blessings, love, grace, mercy and patience towards me.

Each time I fall, He catches me...
When I am down, He lifts me up...
When I am in doubt, He confirms me with His mighty flow of plan...


What a good God.



So, I have learned to not make any decision, when I can't...


Trust all in the Lord, and lean not on my own understanding.

He is mighty enough to settle everything that I can't.




Almighty God.



Faithful and Just.




Can't stop loving Him.

It is Never easy...

to stand strong when things started to suppress on you because physically, you are not strong enough...
It is never easy too, to keep your head high all day long as you will tend to be tired...
It is even tougher to sing praises and dance around when your emotion is so down as you are filled with emotions...
It is never easy... to keep your energy high up on the mountain.. as you have limited strength in a day.



Never Easy...


That's why I need God...

... to back, support, embrace, push me from the back, lead in front of me... and also to grant me strength, wisdom, favour, love, peace and joy to go through each day!



I will dry up... if I stop growing in the Lord...



So, Eva Sam shall continue to stand strong... and rely on God in any situation...





Not easy.. but AMEN!

LOST

Where do I stand?
What am I doing?
Where's my focus?



Lost... in words and thoughts...

My prayer of the day

Lord, I need Your Mercy.. grant me strength so I would continue to walk with You.. and shine for You.


It may not be easy as challenges and trials do come every days, minutes and seconds. Therefore, I ask of Your protection over me, to carry on with Your work.


Bless others as You've been blessed me.
Take care of my loved ones... as You've love me before I was formed in my mother's womb.
Strengthen me, so I would not be defeated by the enemy.
Use me... as Your tools, with Love, Peace and Joy.

STAY F.O.C.U.S

Stay focus...
Look forward...
Stay alert, with no wanders...

It seems good...
in the mist...
It is good as it seems?


Well... all I can do is..




STAY F.O.C.U.S

Get Fit Slim Down or Muscle Up

Tada........ here goes my finalised flyers for the workshop... gosh I have amended it for more than ten times.. Here it is.. I don wanna amend anymore...



All right!!!!!!!! I am happy, yeay.. hope we can send it out for printing soon!


ciao... back to work

Thursday...

Have not really update for.. dono how many days.. I lost count. Or actually in fact just one day? I've no idea.


Raya is coming, that does not create any excitement for me. ahha... However, going for my Church youth camp- BOMBs Away does make me looking forward for the weekend. So I will be away from Sunday to next Tue (My unpaid leave is approved.. woohooo). That also means that Friday I would have to complete what I should before leaving back to home. Thank God no Cell Group this week that I will not have to miss anything. I don't mind staying little longer to get my job done, anyhow that's my responsibility. Staying longer in office does not create any bad feeling for me, the only thing I would feel bad and sad when it comes to thinking of the longer I stay in office the shorter time I would have for my family and myself. Just that!


Many many marketing activities are coming up. I am basically busy calling up Magazines of their quotations to advertise our company brand and upcoming new courses and workshop we are having. The Get Fit Slim Down & Muscle UP (GFSD/MU) ads that I upload the previous post is one of the workshop we are currently hotly promoting. However, due to some feedbacks that we got after distributing it, I am amending some part of the flyers again. Not a big deal ahah... I am getting familiar and used to Illustrator now, Thank God!!


Well, I am actually using my lunch time break to update this post. I can't normally do this because I am sitting in the same room as my three other Directors if you have read my earlier posts. Now they are having B.O.Directors meeting so I have a little free time to promote my product (GFSD/MU promotion) ehhe...


Let me explain a little bit more about what GFSD / MU is about. Many ppls notice of the importance of exercising, they are executing it. However, they did not see the result. So, what we are providing here is a 3 day's workshop to let you understand the right way to exercise and how you should do it. It is definitely NOT a slimming program where you will see the result after the workshop. NO WAY!!! You will have to practice what we are providing you and keep practicing it after the workshop... then, you will definitely have a long lasting result to get into the body shape you are hoping for and most importantly, being Healthy!


Hence, if you are health conscious and noticing there's no outcome after your exercises, you should come and join us the three day workshop to learn more about your fitness. Or, if you want to have a better looking body shape, yet got no idea how to earn that... we are here to assist you. ^^
Bring a friend of yours together to join the workshop, we are offering a 50% discount for both of you. NO Joke ok? ^^


All right, that's all for now... I will update the flyers later once it is completely done.


Ciao.

5th week, 1st day of work...

... I am getting used to it.


I was kinda stress out and tension this morning while driving to office. I was experiencing Blue Monday I would say. However, it was not as bad as I expected. Because the Lord was with me... I had no any second to have any side thoughts other than my work...



I was rushing P&G's poster design of a Corporate Wellness programme - Get Fit Challenge that we are organising, busy amending it through Illustrator (which I am no good in it) according to the client's requirement.

Later on, the earlier Get Fit Slim Down and Muscle Up poster that I designed was wrongly printed and I have to amend the Illustrator file again...(T_T at some point I feel like crying for the complicated function it carries).



Men's Health came in to collect the Artwork of advertisement we are going to place on Nov and I have to burn the Illustrator file into CD.


After all the rushing moment, Edmund from printing company came in to get the Advertising and Teaching Manual for printing and again, I have to double check the artwork is corrected done and add on amendment accordingly. This section took me really a long time because of the amount of materials we have to print and etc.


Yeah, it sounds like I am doing lots of lots of art designing work. YES! In fact, my job requires lots of artwork designing due to the newness of Fitness Innovations (M) Sdn. Bhd. in the Fitness (Facilitation) Industry. To date, we have got no competitor because this is a newly created industry. BUT, lots of marketing activities have to be carried out to make our company brand known.


After all, when I noticed of the time.. it was already 6.30pm plus. However, I did not accomplish some other of my work... so I continue to work on.



Next moment when I look up to the clock, it was 7.15pm. I started packing.. and say good bye to all my Directors (Yes they were still in the office at that time, the only person left sharp was our Receptionist) ^^



Jam.. jam.. jam...



I guess I reached home around 8.30pm, dinner... bla blabla...



Do some pc setting work and updating B.O.M.B's Away '07 campers' list (I am in charge of registration).... and checking how to set up my Microsoft Outlook 2007 more efficiently. Eventually I started writing this post... and there comes the time- 12.22am


Gosh... have not showered.. I better go wash and sleep...



Tml is another day to fight on.


*Smile*

A half day off

After my previous post, I better update you guys to avoid misunderstanding.


Actually it was not as bad as I mentioned, but due to the stress and tiredness I had that day I may pictured it as though it was really that bad. Having problem and stress at work isn't anything new to any working adults.


After all I was tired I could say.



ok, that's all for the update from my previous post.


I appreciate all the kind msg and encouragement left by some of you... that's really lovely!





These days, I have been having eye itchiness and dryness. This morning it became worst. So I asked my Directors (three of them) permission for me to go in later after my visit to the clinic. My request was granted. Went in office at about 11am, I did not feel any better... the headache that came along while I woke up this morning worsen my condition.

I could have asked and taken MC, but I know today office will have so many ppls coming in for visit that they need ppl to be there that's why I still went.. hoping I could stay till after work.

In fact, I couldn't. My eyes could hardly open, I feel the sourness when I open my laptop. My head was painful as though it was going to explored. I wanted to concentrate to get my Artwork done today, which is very urgent. BUT, I couldn't.


12.15pm I could not stand the dizziness, feel-like-vomiting, the pain and etc I asked of a day off. Without hesitation, my Directors asked me to go home and rest. I asked of the artwork that I suppose to do today, one of the director said we will talk about it only tml, so.. today I am suppose to.... REST. Colleague too asked me to stop thinking about work and rest well.



So I reached home 2pm, slept all the way. I could not get off my bed. I do not know what's the reason of my exhaustion today. No fever, no soar throat, no flu, no cold, no nothing.. just eye irritation and headache. I keep sleeping and sleeping and sleeping, dreaming and sleeping and dreaming and sleeping... until 7 plus...


I think I had enough rest today... Soon have to rest for me to fight on tml. I pray and hope that my eyes will feel better and I will have full strength to perform better. In addition, my Director asked me to stay longer tml.. to get my work done. 'Definitely... sure!!!' I shall not take things for granted. I am blessed today to get a half day rest.. so I will work harder tml.


Aey, the Marketing Manager from our sister branch Fit Thailand will be in KL tonight. He will be with us from tml till Friday to teach me whatever I have to learn.



So, gambate!!!!

A little upset

First day of the forth week of my work, I feel a little upset.



I have been trying my best... to achieve what I have to.


I tried my best not to be late for work.. and not to leave immediately when the clock touch 6pm. Not that I wanna be a freak or trying to show something, but I feel that working should be fun and not suppose to be a 9-6pm thingy. Finishing what I suppose to and getting my work done is more important than anything. So, other than Revolution meeting and Coffee with Pastor (my church's bible study) or dance rehearsal, I don't normally key in the '6pm-must-leave-office' kinda behaviour. Being in the office from 8 plus to 7 plus and above have been happening ever since I started working till today.



Today, I so wanted to leave at 6pm.. due to the pressure I had. I wanted, but I can't. Because I did not complete my work. My work load is ever increasing, my responsibility is ever piling up....

.
.
.
.
.
.

I think I still need time to adapt to working life. Tiredness due to my busy schedule has caught me up... and my lacking of sleep and rest had attacked me today by twisting whatever words my Director said to me.


I am drying up... because I am slowly being pulled away by my work and the little free time I wanna give myself.. and shut God behind everything. I know I would have been stronger if I am still holding strong in my daily devotion.


I did not...



That's my fault, no one I should blame.


I need to be restored, by the Lord God Almighty. Not anyone else, nor myself.



Working longer hours, is not the way to sustain my ever working life. I have to balance my family, work, God, Church and my own time.


Or I may dry up one day and die...


Keep me in prayer, I do not wanna die spiritually...


may the Lord bless you too in all you do!


Amen!

Three weeks of work

Time flies..


I have been working for three weeks di.. since 11st Sept till todate. Tml will be my 4th week...woo... so fast



I guess I will not have much time to blog anymore... I will try my best to update when I can


Life is been busy, yet occupied.



I feel content, even though I do not really have any free time.


God is still real and good to me, there's nothing I can complain about.



The only one thing is, I need to remind myself many times to stay focus and let not my work pull me away.



Yup... that's all...^^

Fit Malaysia Graduation Party

All right,


Tonight will be a very important night, because I am sort of in charge of a Graduation Party for Fitness Innovations to celebrate students whom had passed their American Council of Exercise exam recently.

So... everything basically is done. The preparation, set up, food orders... etc etc... I was feeling so stress this morning until I got my stuff all done.


Now.. am sitting down on my place, chatting and waiting for the party time. It's gonna be fun im sure... but im gonna be quite stress as well as I could foresee.



Yesterday we, Jerrican, Julian, Jackie, Jonathan and me went studio for a staff photo shoot upon Fit Thailand's request. The photo shooting session was fun and the photo that you see on my blog is the photo that I am putting up in the company website.


All right, dono what else to write then..


My work is... Fun, Stress, Fun... Stress... Fun.. and stress.. hahahha




Generally, I could not complain about this job. Everything's great... I got nothing to complain... although the stress sometimes might kill me.. but when God is there, nothing will be problem for him. So... in conclusion... Praise God for the great job that I get!



He is so good!



No one else.. but Him alone


Amen!

3rd day of work

I was a bit lost this morning... after realising how little I know of the company.


Lost.. I felt so lost... everyone look stress this morning. I believe I was tired too due to the lack of sleep and waking up early every morning.


However, God is always there.. as long as I hang on and trust in Him... everything will be all right and fall on the right place.


It was proven again today! Things and atmosphere started to change after I took a short break walking around my office compound to look for the stationary that was not found yesterday. The air was refreshing... the wind was chilling...


Then, one of my Director came in... and told me that we will be going to EPF at 2pm to open a new account for me and then, we will head towards Ikano Harvey Norman to get me a laptop.




So, I got a company laptop- Compaq Presario V3000 today at RM2999. Very good deal as it's AMD, Windows Vista Basic (I have not really experienced using Vista wei), 1GB RAM, 100GB and I can't remember what else... In conclusion I would say it was really a good deal.





Hmm... isn't that... unbelievable? I myself.. feeling a little bit 'too-good-to-be-true'. But one thing I am 100000% sure- God is with me.. and blessing me abundantly. I could not help, but only praising Him.. because He has shown me His faithfulness throughout these years...



I do not know what else to say... but only... He is good... all the time and All the time, God is good!



Amen!!!



^^

After two days of work

All right, I am forced to update my blog.


My job is interesting... My title is Marketing Manager, yet my current tasks are like a Everything-Manager (manage everything lor) where I have to overlook so many things. I have to learn about the product line, the past activities.. check their marketing materials.. and amend accordingly, sit in with Directors while meeting up clients... going for meeting in discussing the coming activities that I have to plan... Designing the artwork of the flyers... sending out emails to the party involved... have my other Director in her powerpoint slide (which she is not that familiar with to prepare her teaching material)... tidying up the messy stuff (this one i did myself one la.. volunteer...)


Yesterday (the 1st day), I sat in for three meetings... before knowing more about the product and goals and stuff. It was quite a heavy day for me due to the huge database of information being implanted in my mind. Time is limited, yet so many things to cover... and so many things to learn...


Today, I was feeling much better after knowing much and more about my company. My Director couldn't wait to pass on all the Marketing planning and stuff to me, that's why I have to pray for God to enlarge my brain capacity where I can multitask.


Working environment wise... PERFECT!


Comfortable, less restriction.. I can talk and joke with my Directors anytime... no formal dress code rules and regulations... Directors cum colleagues are friendly and.. they appreciate the ideas that I have presented and also, kind enough to teach me whatever I need and answer me any questions that I ask...



I could not ask for more... God is good enough.. to bless me with this job. I have only been there for two days.. it feels so much like home... I feel that I haev been there for more than two years...



The only drawbacks are.. it's a little bit far from my house and the jam is kinda killing my (carrot-leg-gonna-be by driving manual car on the LDP to and fro) leg and... the workload.. is.. quite overwhelming. Praise God, I still enjoy the job.. I enjoy everything I am doing.



This is the greatest part of the starting of my job... because I love it and enjoy it... that would keeps me going I believe. And, I can't believe whatever I have studied has got to help me soooo much in this job. God is good... no one can deny that!


I am who I am... doing what I am doing now.. because the Lord has been bringing me through.. leading me and blessing me. One of my Director is been asking me about my early devotion in the library (my office has a small library) and what is Christianity about.. Isn't that amazing and cool?




I am excited... to see myself grow in whatever I am going to do. I can access internet in the office but normally I don have time to sit down and blog about it. Wanted to take photo about my office.. but shy la all the Directors sitting right beside me lol.



Ok... that's all for now. It's time to sleep.. tml is another brand new working day.


Oh yeah.. i went with my Director to purchase some office grocery jz now (because the pantry is opened to everyone anytime..) in the Damansara TESCO. She is really nice to be with...




All right... David Lee.. I hope you will be satisfied by these... lol



God bless everyone!


Love your job.. then you will find ur working day more excited that yesterday!

My first job...

So... I am starting my work from tml onwards... ^^



Remuneration package is discussed... I am happy and satisfied and also thankful for them so thoughtful of blessing me. All glory to the Lord. It's not about me, for me myself will not be who I am today.. But Him constantly changing me and teaching me.


I am happy of course, because my salary is out of my expectation.. additionally I will get 1% commission when company is earning RM40k and above (It's a company that have just launched in Malaysia, that's the reason why not so well known yet).


I did not really discuss and ask more about how many % of EPF they contributing and etc. Because I see myself would be able to contribute to the company, and achievement (company earning higher revenue) would be my satisfaction. Do not get me wrong, I am not a holy doly where money means nothing to me. It's just that over these years my life perspective has been changed after accepting Jesus into my life.


I do not understand how others feel a night before they start their first ever job, but I am overly excited. Finally I will not have to sit at home do nothing and count my time while waiting for company to call for interview. Finally I will be able to... be occupied again.


Today three of my Directors explained the package they offering me. I am overwhelmed by their lovely care to give me their best offer. Colleagues are friendly and everyone know me before I even know their name. Awesome!


One thing that is confusing me is... most of them are wearing casual wear to office. But, what about me? I can't wear sports wear to meet up my clients right? So, formal or informal? In case you confused, I am not doing sales job.. but marketing strategies, planning and managing the company's marketing activities. Anyhow.. I will have to meet up clients. Not so soon definitely, they will train me for about a week and I will have to be on my own after that. Pls do keep me in prayer... my job scope is wide, the task is heavy... I have to bear the profit or losses if I did not carry my task properly.


Well... that's all for now I guess.. ahhaha..



If you are still interested in knowing more about my company, feel free to leave me a msg oh...



God is always so good.. He has given me exactly the salary I have been hoping for (now if got commission will be over my wish)... for a fresh graduates like me getting such position...



It's His miracles!!

Job Offer

All right, after many days of not updating my blog.. finally I have got something to write here.



Yeah I have got a job offer... as a Marketing Executive. I will be the only Marketer in the company handling the whole marketing activities... that's why they posted the Vacancy as hiring Marketing Manager in the company. Actually I did not carry much hope while clicking the Apply Now button after seeing their requirement as Fresh Graduates are encouraged to apply statement. So they called me for interview last Tuesday 4th Sept at 3pm, Damansara Perdana @ Fitness Innovations.

I was not that interested in entering Fitness industry but was thinking of giving a try (I wanted to join fashion industry). I found out that company is not as fitness centre like Fitness First, True Fitness or Celebrity Fitness. However, providing Professional USA certificate courses in training fitness trainers. The company was established in Thailand since three years ago and it is doing really well on that site, that's why the Directors franchised and brought it into Malaysia market. Although it's only four months old in Malaysia, I can see the potential and growth through the insight understanding I get from the first interview. Basically, I will have to manage the whole company's marketing activities as the founders and owners are not marketing based. They gave me their brochures and asked me to comment on it. So, I told them what I have seen and what I have learned through my four years of studies in my course. They were impressed...


To cut the long story short because I have been explaining to so many ppls and im feeling so lazy to repeat it again. They called me on Thursday (6th Sept) for the second interview, however due to the time schedule I could not make it... therefore, I went in again yesterday (7th Sept).



I was given a piece of paper, asking me to write down "what benefits ppl could get by exercise in terms of Lifestyle, Relationship and Work". I wrote down the point forms and explained that these three things are inter-related. Because, exercise could help the blood circulation where it would bring good health to an individual. Definitely a healthy person would have a positive mindset and lifestyle that would bring a very good relationship among the people they are dealing with. Also, good health enable individuals to perform their task to the best in their work...


Julian (the Managing Director) told me they have already prepared my seat waiting for me to join them. Due to the fact that they want to give me the best offer they could (a special custom-made remuneration package for me), I will have to go on Monday 3pm to collect the black and white (offer letter) and they will discuss the package with me (ie. salary, allowances, and etc). When they asked how much I expected from the job, I told them honestly I am a fresh graduates with no experienced at all (other than doing assignment and the theories). So, the best would be them value my quality instead of me myself fixing a figure on my own. Julian was happy because he find that's really fair. To me, money is not everything I should judge whether I should take up the job or not. Achievement and Satisfaction in the job would mean even more to me. Certainly I would need the salary to sustain my living, however, being just a sleeping worker and not contributing is just not my style of living.


Julian told me, they will offer me a fixed salary plus commission package ( I was shocked because im not working as a sales position) that is definitely higher than my expectation to keep me in the company. So, if I accept the offer on Monday I shall start working from the next day onwards ^^. Cool!


Through the interview sessions, I see their sincerity and how they appreciate one's idea in all things. That's one of the reason that encourages me to join them.

God was there providing me ideas of how to answer the questions that they have asked me in the interview session. Wisdom was very much granted that's why my performance was impressive to them.

They do not have the hierarchy level where employers and employees sit in the same room, this would definitely encourage the communications and cooperation between workers. Furthermore, I see myself would be able to learn and gained so much from the job by handling everything from head-to-toe. It will be difficult and heavy for me, because I am a fresh graduates. But, I do not doubt my ability because I know as God has given me the job He will definitely prepare me for it. God will never give what we can't take... He will always prepare ahead for us according to His plan.


I do not want to go with expectation of how much my salary would be, what kinda position title they would give me (executive or manager) and how many days of holidays I would get. These are not that important. Learning and contributing to the company is more essential than any other things. For sure, I see a fun working environment will definitely keeps me going. So, whatever they are offering... I would most probably accept, unless God says NO to me. So far, I see all positive signs God is showing me for this job... I trust Him that this would be the job for me. Julian assure me of appraisal and evaluation in my three months probation. They will reward me when I perform well. ^^



Well, even though this is not what I exactly wants. But, I can see that I will be able to.. grow. Last but not least, if everything goes fine... next Tuesday will be the first day of my corporate life. Do keep me in prayer yeah... because I want to honour God in all I do.



God is really soooo good!!!!


*smile*

2 Interviews in 1 day

All Right, before I forget about the details.. I shld just write down what I've been through today.


10am: I reached Padini in Glenmarie after some loss of direction turning. Filled in the job application form and wait for Mandy to interview me. Quite a comfortable lobby with two lovely and helpful ladies to assist my visit. Mandy lead me to the guest room (3rd floor if I've not mistaken). She's very fun to talk to. The whole interview session was casual and we've chatted quite some time for about an hour chat. She briefed me about the job where I will have to go through six months in-the-field training in different outlets to learn about the product, display, customer service, etc (every single details a promoter would need to do). Reason being, marketing trainee has to know every details before I could handle it independently. After six months of training, I would work in the office where I've visited today, the comfortable office. For the first six months, I will have to work over time, shift and etc exactly like what a promoter would have to do. However, eventually if I passed the requirement and stuff I will not stationed in the outlets. Again, regularly store visit is essential to know the sales and condition of the outlets.

According to Mandy, she likes my personality, character and etc. But, due to the commitment I have to attending church on every Sunday she would have to talk to the manager if he would work something out. Because if I am exempted for the morning shift in Sunday, others might say otherwise. Thus, she will give me a reply.. hopefully by this week.

11.30pm: Left Padini and head towards Lot 10 for Esprit's interview.

12.30pm: Reached Times Square finally after all the jam. Walk over to Lot 10 Esprit outlet, there were many candidates like me fililng up the job application form. After submitting mine, the estimated time was 4.30pm for my turn. as I have not taken my lunch I went up to Delifrance thinking of giving myself a good treat since my legs were aching (I was wearing my new pair of heels.. both my legs are full of blister now). Got my food ordered- Chicken Delight set with Coffee. Just as I was about to start my meal, a foreigner came over due to the curiosity of what-Malaysian-would-eat. I introduced him my set and started chatting with him. He asked if he could join me since he is alone too. For the very first time I agreed on having meal with a stranger (w/o hesitation some more). Not that he is good looking and all, but since I got plenty of time I do not mind having someone to talk to (I was thinking maybe I could share Christ with him).

He told me he is a Tour Lead of a Turkey tourist team and stuff, quite a nice guy to talk to. In fact, he could be my uncle for his age (mayb that's the reason why im not scare of him). He asked me about my study, work, and a lots of questions about Malaysian. Whether am I feeling good being a Chinese in Malaysia, do we have freedom in talking, living and etc. So I share whatever I know with him- all about Malaysian. Slowly, our topic changed. He asked if I am a Christian after seeing the cross that im wearing. I was so happy because that's the most meaningful topic we could talk about. So I started sharing how God has blessed my family, myself and others to him. He was really amazed by all the stories that I've told him because, he has never been to a church before, according to him. He said his ex-wife was a Christian but he knows more Christianity than her because he has been traveling all around the world. So I told him I would love to invite him to my church if his next tour to Malaysia allows it (his team is leaving M'sia tml back to Turkey). He was so excited about it. Just as how excited I am being a Christian. About 2pm, he has to leave because he has to bring the team over to Butterfly Park. I gave him my email so that we could keep in touch and I could share more about Jesus to him. Before he left, I reminded him about his bill (sorry la because I could only pay for my own bill... I have not realyl earned my own cents yet k?). I told him I would love to give him a treat if I am already working and apologise to him about the rudeness of my action. He thank me for reminding him and together, he paid mine. What a blessing! The most amazing thing, before he left he said to me "Eva, God bless you". Amazing isn't it? Seeing non Christian being touched and mentioning God's name? That's about the whole meal! It's so meaningful to me! It's not about the bill that he has blessed me, but it's about the chance that God has given me to share of His goodness for the short time spend. Tar (is his name) told me, he is very happy to learn about Malaysian and Christianity over the conversation. Wow... amazing experience I have.


After he left, I left Delifrance in a short while. Not knowing where should I go and the every painful steps was killing me, I decided to go over to Sungai Wang Watson to get plastic to cure the pain as I cant' spend two hours walking in Lot 10 (that's not the place where i can spend on anything ok?)

3.30pm: I left Sungai Wang to head back Lot 10 after the 1 hour aimless walk. As I can only walk slowly like a model (lol... i so seldom walk so slow in my life) I reach Lot10 almost 4pm. a half an hour walk, can you imagine? However, it's still earlier than the appointment time. So again Eva lepak in the same area for dono how long... so boring wei to kill the time. Eventually I've decided to walk in Esprit and as the supervisor-look-alike guy when will my turn be. When he started asking me question, we started to chat... as if we have known each other for some time. Again, the idea of sharing came to me. God gave me another chance... to again share my testimonial with him, Kelvin, if i've not misspelled his name (after that I got to find out he is actually the manager in the outlet.... -_-" good that I did not say anything wrong).

Lol.. one thing I realise through my chatting with new people today, both have mentioned about me getting married and stuff. Kevin Onn was the first one keep mentioning about me getting a boyfriend, getting married and stuff and these two few fellas too, saying the kinda same issue. What's wrong with being single at my age?

Yes, I have finally graduated and it seems like Im 'officially' legal to get into another new relationship after the one year of being single. But, Hey! I am still enjoying being single. Getting into another new relationship is some sorts of phobia to me (don't ask me why.. and do not try to imagine the reasons on your own). Well, first of all, I am not that ready yet. Second, God has not sent the right person to me. Third, it seems that I still have so much to do (for God for myself for my family and etc) and time is so limited. Overall, getting into a relationship is not like simply walk in a restaurant and simply ordering a meal to munch. It means much more than that. It's about God giving me the right one who is strong and faithful to God, able to lead the relationship no matter what, God fearing guy, Do-er.. not Say-er kinda stuff. And, I want a Godly relationship (don't argue with me with ur statements and all.. this is Eva Sam's stand) because relationship is all about marriage. A marriage that is God honouring, holy and joyful... bla bla bla...


So, until He sent the right one... I am still happy with my own life. In fact, I've experienced better life after being single because I have come to learn to rely more on God instead of human.


all right all right... the main thing I wanna talk about actually was how real God has been with me today and the joy of me getting the chance of sharing His name.. but not so much of my mate requirement and stuff... so... if you feel offended you could always click the X mark on your right top windows *chuckles*


... what else should I write? I am lazy.. so here I rest my case.



Oohh... I forgot to write down what I 've experienced in the second interview. At4.45pm, finally I got to meet with Rachael (the HR manager). She was quite cool, did not ask me many questions. Only asked me to explain more about my part time dance show thingy and then she started to tell me about the job scope. I can either choose to go for Management Trainee or Sales Consultant. Management Trainee I need to undergo 12-16 months training, if I passed through all the test and stuff they will grant me 3 months probation then only could proceed to permanent staff. In contrast, Sales Consultant I will only have to go for three months product and company training then I will be only own as compared to Management Training where I have to learn every details of it. Then, she offered me to either decide on the spot or take some time to consider whether to take up the challenge or not (which means... she actually offered me the job on the spot).

I did not get her full meaning right away, that's why i asked her why didn't she ask me more about myself. She replied "I am very experience in the field because I am in charge of the whole Malaysia's recruitment. So I know who I should hire and who's qualified... and.. I know who you are!"


I was like..."huh?" (are you sure???) She said, "YES, I know who you are!.. You are bubbly, love talking to people... confidence.... (others i can't remember)... ". "So, do you wanna answer me right away, or you wanna think about it". I told her honestly I would love to work in the office in terms of marketing planning kinda career instead of just staying in an outlets for the rest of my life. Esprit is a good brand where I would love to work for it, however, sales is not quite my type and my line.. and I would love to plan Marketing Strategies (4P's- Product, Price, Place and Promotion) for a brand. Locking me in just an outlet would eventually kill me (of course I didn't tell this sentence to kill myself off in front of Rachael la). I told her I will have to think about it, because it incurs so much of commitment and all.


About 5 plus, I left San Francisco Coffee house (the interview was held there) and went back in to Esprit to thank Kelvin personally, whom has spend his time talking to me, asking me questions and telling me more about the job (and also allows me to share a little bit of Christianity with him). A fun guy to talk to. He too share with me his career path and how much he has went through in retail line like he was working in Nike before... have been working in Japan, Singapore and etc. So, I thank him for his kindness for talking to me. He offered me a discount rate next time if I go back to the shop for shopping... if he is there he would give me a good rate upon my purchase (so kind of him, right? Told ya he is nice). So, I thank him again for sure because I have never purchased any Esprit merchandise before due to my limited fund even though I would love to.

5.30pm... on my way back from KL... to home.


What a tiring day! I still can feel the pain on both my feet.. everywhere...


Sleepy... I wanna rest di... how would my life be once I really start working? If Padini hire me, the training period would be crazy too... I will need lots of prayer to go through it before my energy and stamina dries up.


ok, I will continue writing next time. Ciao

It's been some time I have not been really writing anything in my own blog.


Exam was over since 20th Aug but I did not gain back the momentum to write.


Yeah, I know honestly it's time for me to.. at least write something to keep it updated.


By God's grace I have completed all my papers with quite an honourable result of my coursework marks in the subjects (Don't ask me my exam result... it will only be out in Sept...). However, that does not guarantee my final result of all. So, I can only leave it to God and see what will it be.


God two interviews to go on Tue. Fashion companies that I quite like. A little bit nervous, a little excited, a little bit scare of rejection, a little bit...

Base on my stand of not asking allowance from my parents from Sept onwards, I need a job or at least some shows to sustain my living (ie, pump petrol, dining expenses and miscellaneous). Sitting at home unoccupied make me feel sick, I want to eliminate all the lazy disease before it gets hold of me.

Room is still untidy, papers, notes, books are still all around in my room. The statement of organising and cleaning up my room did not come to fulfilment yet. I feel even more lazy to do all these once exam is over. I think if I would to re-arrange my room that might take me more than four days to do so cos my room is full of .... STUFFS....

I have to admit that Im totally bad in keeping things organised, do not ask me why... I hope someone could tell me that. I can be organised in certain things.. but not keeping all the stuff nicely in my room. Some times I tend to think the only way for me to re-arrange and deco my room would be the time when I am able to purchase my own furniture.. and mayb repaint my room. ahhaha... now I really wonder will I once I am financially stable. I tend to make quite some empty promises to myself, 'I can only get this done.. when I am.......' However, it never really seems to work.


Whatever it is.. hahah... the conclusion- Laziness.


Nothing else can explain but only the word laziness. Sigh...


All right, I have to think of a way to fix myself...


Ciao

Take my Son

Eva:
Another meaningful story I got from my mail today that worth taking some time reading. Since I can't write inspiring story as such, I shld put it up and let everyone get to experience and enjoy it. It is so meaningful where I am always being reminded how blessed I have been ever since the day I take His Son. My life has never been the same again. I am not perfect, yet. But, with His daily teaching in my life, I know I will be better and better and better every tomorrow. Until I meet Him... God is good, trust me!

-------------------------------------------STORY STARTS-------------------------------------

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this."

The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift." The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection. On the platform sat the painting of the son, the auctioneer pounded his gavel. "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?"

There was silence.

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one." But the auctioneer persisted. "Will somebody bid for this painting. Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?" Another voice angrily. "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!"

But still the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son.

"I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

We have $10, who will bid $20?" "Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters."

10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?"

The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son. They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!"

A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!"

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over."

What about the paintings?"

I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the
entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!"

God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?"

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH IN HIM, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, A LOVE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING

God Bless!!
