YAY

Met an old friend at my usual watering hole at KLCC yesterday. My ex-classmate, big-gun in the corporate world, very smart, sharp, with a killer eye for business and currently driving a Brabus, he,he. Executive director of a large company, director of a larger Telco company and also one of the director of a company that's "finger lickin good"...
"YAY, how's everythin' Bro?"
"I'm ok"
"Have R got in contact with you, my friend?"
"Nope, but one of our junior did, and as usual asking for donation la"

"I am resignin from the company la" YAY said. " Gotta do this "national service" for two years at the International division of the MOTHER of the TELCO company"
" Hey dude, congratulations man !!!"

Well, I guess YAY will probably be the most eligable "Duda" with a title "Datuk" in town very soon. Way to go, man.... "Bila lu mau belanja gua main golf kat club mahal ko tu lagi???"

Alamak, apa nak buat ni!!???

Hari ni gua kena kasi presentation to the largest Telco company in Malaysia. So, instead of the usual Dockers khaki, gua pakai seluar smart hari ni. Baju pun smart,tie jenis smart, kira everything smart le. Presentation to start at 9:30 am, by 9 am I was already there. Smoke a cigarette, and then went into the restroom. Did my small business, and while zipping-up the pants, I heard a small cracking noise. ALAMAK!!!! Zip seluar gua sudah tercerai, dan tak boleh nak repair. Gua sudah pucat. Nak beli yang lain, tak da kedai bukak lagi. Left the restroom slowly, with my notebook as a shield to hide the accident. On the way out, jumpa plak somebody yang gua kenal, kena lak stop jap, salam2, borak2, dengan muka yang very uncomfortable.

"N, I got a problem man. I might not be able to give the presentation, my zipper gave way". " Aiyoyo, golfer melayu, apa mau buat...tak pa, lu tunggu sini, gua pigi cari safety pins, mo man tai, maaa". N came back with the safety pins, and then, I tried my best to use the pins to secure the sensitive area. Gotta do it slowly la, kalo tersilap, mau gua menjerit kat dalam restroom tu, kes naya nanti...

Anyway, I still did the presentation with the most uncomfortable feeling in the world.

Morale of the story: lain kali bawak jacket, kalo jadi cam ni, just put on the jacket , buttons down and nobody will notice....you hope

I'm gooood

Hey,hey,hey...It has been a very productive week. Got back the maid, got a few LOIs and POs. Finished writing 2 proposals. Did two very effective presentation to customers. Sort out some payment issues from 2 customers. Selected to represent my alumni to a prestige golf tournament happening in July. AND weekend is coming...
Now to solve some minor issues at home. The 10 year old TV doesn't look like a tv no more, green smudges all around, the fridge is on a crazy timer circle, sometime ok, sometime not, bla, bla,bla. Aisay small problems la, gotta concentrate on my weekend golf game. Yee Haa!!!!!

I can see light at the end of the tunnel

I hope to settle the maid's problem by this week. After going through "hell" with the old agent, I've done most of the application for the permit of the maid, myself. She's now in Dumai, awaiting for the Visa to come back to Malaysia. Hopefully she'll be in Malaysia within this week. Now, I can go off and enjoy my golf game without feeling guilty of leaving my wife with all the house chores.
My golf is also getting better everytime I teed-off. Last week, I was 1 under after 7 holes. Par,Par,Par, Birdie, Par, Par,Par....I shot 80. Not at Perangsang but at Kelab Golf Sri Selangor. That itself is an accomplishment. So, my golf buddies, bring it oooonnn, and.....MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FORGET TO STOP AT THE ATM AND BRING THE MONEY. he,he,he

I'm short of.....

MONAYYYYY!!!!!!!! The flow of the mullah, going out is a bit too much, compared to the flow coming in. I really need a plan to rectify this problem....either ask for more from the company, or maybe I should look around??? Purchasing power is shrinking everyday. The wife is getting pay-cut from her company. Me? OK but not enough la. NEVER IS and NEVER WILL!!!!!

Alumni Golf Tournament

Aku ni selalu gak masuk pertandingan golf. Salah satu yang gua jarang miss is the golf tournament organized by the School Alumni. This year dah 3 kali gua masuk, first, kat Peransang, 41 points, 2nd placing, medal a, 2nd kat Tasik Puteri, 37 points, medal a, top 5 gak la, and last sekali, last Sunday, kat Bangi Golf resort.....

I was in the same flight with an 18-handicapper, but that day he was playing more like a 12-handicapper. At the end of the round, he scored 43 points, and I got 37 point... Cheh, tak dapat gak jadi champion. Tapi tah macam mana, organizer change the format, and the guy goes into medal B, and became the medal B champ.
As for me, jeng jeng jeng, .... dapat gak jadi medal A CHAMPION for that tournament. What a feeling!!!
Looking forward to the Malaysian Venture Capital Assocciation golf tournament, sometime in July. Why? I'm the defending Champion la...

Banyaknyer kerja....

Arghhhh, so many things to do, with so short of a time to do it. This is making me sick. I"m supposed to do all the stuff during the long weekend last week. Took my notebook home. The intention was there, but I guess not much time to do it. Yelah, mana nak gi selesaikan masalah maid gua kat imigresen, bawak family jalan-jalan cari makan, gi kenduri kahwin and tak lupa jugak main golf. 2 kali plak tu!!!! So? where got time la??? Ohhh, by the way, that last golf game was not with the "buaya". I guess he became a "cicak" knowing that he's supossed to play with MUA....AHAK
