The Standard

I am a current customer for both Digi & Starhub. Being a customer for these two service provider, I tend to compare about which one is doing better. I definitely give my vote to Digi. In terms of customer service, Digi has been doing a very good and professional job - in terms of answering call, use of language; Digi is more friendly and lead the conversation towards solving the problem. Starhub on the other hand are lacking of these traits.

In terms of waiting time to get to talk to the customer service officer, Digi response is much faster compare to Starhub. In my experience, I can reach DG customer service in less than 2 minutes while it took around 8-23 minutes for Starhub to respond to their customer call. This is totally unacceptable! Digi has also been very flexible in terms of converting from postpaid to prepaid and vice versa, while that is not the case for the latter.

Needless to say more, I love DIGI.

My Ongoing Dilemma

All this while, I thought I already decided that I am going to stay in SG while working there. But lately, the idea of staying in JB while working in SG crossed my mind as well. If I am to stay in SG, it will less hectic to move around especially in the morning and evening. Anyhow, the room rent is expensive. Don't talk about renting a whole house. What if I wana have kids? All these questions keep on lingering inside my mind.

If I am to stay in JB, of course I can rent a whole house on my own, which will be more convenient if I am to have  kid or kids... and of course I would like to have one or two or more depending on my financial capability. My future prediction is,  by September 2011, I will become a father already.. God willing :) (Jangan kamu ingat si Paul saja pandai menilik)....

One of the disadvantages that I have to endure is, I have to wake up very early every morning. Safety issues in JB as I read crime rate is high over there. But I guess, sometime things comes in package. You can't choose, but have to decide base on your priority.

What about my gym membership? I purposely upgrade my membership to VVIP so I can access every center around the world including SG. Currently there are about 6-8 centers available in SG but none in JB.

Due to this dilemma, I decided to observe, plan, and act... this is not a mere PDCA practiced by many companies as one of their improvement method... hehe... I think, I should go and stay in SG first.... maybe in 2-5 months? until i become fully familiarize and adapt with everything. After that only I decide whether staying in JB is more favorable or not.. I mean, in a big picture, for me, my wife and my anak anak.

The Crossroad

It was an intense time for me for the past 2 weeks. What happened in the past 2 weeks was a situation where I had to choose the next career path that I will have to go. It was so intense in the sense of choosing the best option and what I really wanted.

Everybody have their own way of thinking of what career advancement is all about. For me, I relate it much on money, job satisfaction and location. I am not and idealistic type of person. I am more interested on the value that I might get as a return. It may sounds self-centered or selfish for some people, but at least I know I never doubt about the quality of work I had done so far. Its give and take.

Making a choice was the hardest thing. I, for once thought that I had made my decision, but with just a slight swing on situation, I became unsure. I prayed hard. I asked God, why things turn out to be confusing? What does God want me to see or to learn? I didn't know the answer. But I have faith, that He will show me the right way, out of many crossroads.

In the time of uncertainty, I just walked on, following every logical move and avoiding from making any immediate decision. But thanks to God, starting from yesterday, I have decided on the pathway that I should choose. And I am very satisfied with my choice.

I still remember last time when I was just about to move to Penang, I questioned myself.... why must Penang? Out of many jobs interviews I had attended in KL and only one in Penang, why the one in Penang responded? I asked God what is His plan, and I dont know the answer until yesterday. Now everything seems to make sense for me.

I am very thankful to God for everything especially the precious lesson of a simple word "Have Faith". Senang saja mau cakap tuh 'Have Faith'.... tapi bila sampai situasi sebenar, susah juga ko mau ikut....

The Appearance

It’s been a long time since my last update. I do not know what to write since every day I had been doing the same thing over and over again. So, I am not going to repeat them again and again plus I am lazy to do so.

My mobile phone is not doing well. I don’t really know why the contact lists has suddenly disappeared and lead me into trouble to memorize almost 200 contact numbers inside. I hardly memorize any number due to my short memory capability. Thus, I have to use back my very old phone while considering other options in near future.

Talking about job, well nothing interesting to tell so far. Job is job; the difference is just how you look at it. Anyhow, relationship and mood become better than before. Having a good boss is one of the reasons I should appreciate to be here.

This weekend I will be watching a movie: Transformer with my friend and my sister as well. My friend bought the ticket 3 days ago, and of course gets a good seat for all of us. Apart from that, there is a plan to go out for clubbing, but I have not finalized whether to join or not. Need to see who is going.

About my personal life, I had been planning around preparing for my future engagement which will take place this coming December. It’s a normal thing for everyone whom getting engage to think about related stuff, to prepare themselves in every aspect around.

Why people need to get engage? Can’t we just go and get married when the time comes? For me I would prefer the latter. But as to fulfill the requirement of the “ADAT” as insisted by my family so I have to follow it as a sign of respect. No offence to everyone. It’s just my opinion.

I plan to go back to Sabah during Hari Raya. I checked the flight ticket and found that return ticket cost up to MYR 650 from PNG-KK-PNG for both MAS & Airasia. I am still thinking whether want to buy or not. But, looking at the 9 days holiday, I think its worth to buy (busy pressing my calculator now). At least I get to go back 2 times this year compare to 3 times/year in the previous time.

My Resignation

I am in the midst of preparing my resignation letter. I plan to send it by Thursday if everything goes smoothly. This is my tentative plan. I cannot disclose more..... Let us see what happen. May the 1Q 2009 Plan will take it course. Hopefully the wave of the economy downturn will not spoilt it..... again?

Thought of Friday.....

I am glad, today is Friday. I was busy thinking about my job, my career. Indeed, I contributed most of my time and energy to prepare myself, applying for jobs here and there, both government and private sector. I believe some people will think that I am crazy… looking for a job in this tough time? Might not be a good move, might be the opposite too. But, in the end, what I think is that matter.

I was a bit surprised as I lose 3kg from my total body weight. I had been exercising regularly for the past 4 weeks, with an intention of maintaining my health, as I am diagnosed with high cholesterol level. Today, one of my colleagues from other department which haven’t seen me for that period told me that I looked thinner. I checked it out and found that I indeed lose 3 kilos. Actually I want to maintain my ideal body weight which is 60kg. I guess I need to eat more from now onwards.

Next week will be marked a start of the Lent season. I will attend the Ash Wednesday Mass on the 25th February 2009 at 8.00pm. What is Ash Wednesday?

It is a day when we remember our mortality and mourn for our sins. We again convert our hearts to the Lord, who suffered, died, and rose for our salvation. We renew the promises made at our baptism, when we died to an old life and rose to a new life with Christ.

I didn’t realize that, next week will be the last week of February. There will be another one month before we can say, 1st Qtr of 2009. I still remember last year when I said, my plan will be accomplished within the 1Q of 2009. I do not want to say anything before the 1st Q of 2009 is over. Hopefully everything gonna be okay.

The Words

I just stay at home today. Need to complete the company report plus need to spend extra time with family before takeoff to KL tomorrow. After that I will take 1 day rest before working as I only start working on the 6 Jan 2009. It’s killing me when I start to think about working.

It is raining here as I writing my post. I put all my clothes in the washing machine, and check my flight info so that “banana won’t fruit twice”. That was a terrible experience.

Year 2009 will be an interesting year for me despite the tough economy condition. I see a lot of opportunity to advance. But at the same time, I got some strong issue which will drag or affect my plan behind. Only time will show which one prevails.

I Concur

I sensed something, and through my sixth sense, it confirmed to be true. People change anyway, that’s why we need to be wise. Social life, improved. Get to know more people. Why? Have a better social life, replenishment and being secure. New opportunity came in today. Will explain more when the time is right.

The last 2 weeks, was an intense time for me. Calculating the risk and think on how to go about doing it. Sigh….. It’s difficult, but not impossible to do. Middle of December will shed some light, which will show some direction whether The 14 Jan Plan will happen or not. I just have to wait n see.

Hello everybody. I had abandoned my blog for such a long time. Not because I had nothing to say but, not in the mood of writing I guess. Yesterday my boss told us that retrenchment would not be a case in our company. Thanks to that. And he mentioned about this year bonus too.

From what I can understand, this year bonus will be slightly higher compare to last year as he was saying that it is the company policy to give in that manner. I am quite happy to hear that, but who knows? I don’t want to put too much hope, but hopefully it will become true.

And when it’s about 2 more weeks before I go back home, I start to feel that I am going to fall sick again. The very same sickness that I will have each time I go back to my hometown. This is very predictable and I don’t know how to explain this phenomenon. I hate being sick when it suppose the time to enjoy. I really hope this time, it will not make a ‘scene’. Some more, I have an important role to play this month. Please pray for me, as I started to take vit. C last Monday.

To Recover

Tomorrow will be my first working day for this week. It was so nice to have a long break, as I managed to do the things that I am suppose to complete before Christmas and the coming New Year.

I do not know whether some of you still remember when I mentioned about delivering my second P-L plan. Well, it seems to have failed. It failed for the second time. I tried for the third time, but still failed without even I start it. Now I have to find other way to solve this matter. Must get it done within these two months left. Hopefully.

This is DK2 if I am not mistaken. I just want to bring the old memory back again, as I think I missed those times. Anyway if I am given a chance to go back to those time, I would say, I would not. Would you?


Nah, just try to freshen up another Christmas memory. Half already back to hometown for good. The other enjoyed their good time all the way. So, they won’t go back. Hehehe


Mabuk sudah!!

When will I get to see you again? I miss them coz I am very close with them in the old days. Where ever you are, take care and all the best in career and life k.

And lastly, enjoy the happy dancing fiesta. It’s quite funny for me.

Meeting H-I

Did I mention about meeting someone? Yup, I managed to arrange the meeting and it went very well the next morning. I chose this location as I need more privacy, and to ensure my work and preparation progressing well.

It took about 38 minutes. Anyway, communication was not as good as like the previous one, some arguments have taken place, but it was still within/under my control.

That was the place where i did my job.....

When i need to think and reflect in peace, i have to be comfortable first.

Need a good sleep too.....

The very important tools.

I called this, "The Essence"

The Plan

It’s only 3 months to go before the year 2008 end. I will be going back to KK next week for my personal retreat (actually it’s a coincidence to be the Hari Raya Holiday). There are a lot of things I need to think about.

For the next 3 months, I have to get through into 3 main things. I named it H-I, P-L, C-H. It’s a personal thing anyway, so I am not going into detail of it in here. But, I have to get these things done by this year, and I am working on it to make it a success.

There will be some complication anyway, which will arise upon the accomplishment of these H-I, P-L and C-H. The complication depends on which method I choose to get it done. I expect it to be happened in the month of January 2009, and now I am considering a few option on how to overcome it the best way I can.

The 1st quarter of 2009 will be a rocky way for me. The consequences will depends on how I managed the H-I, P-L and C-H. I will always try my best and to think that I managed it accordingly, but I am not a sole person to make this successful. It depends on a group of people which I called “The Win”.

Lastly, if this so-called “The Win”, turn their decisions the other way, my next plan of survival which I call “The S-B code” will have to be executed. If I cannot find any resolution by 1st Qtr 2009, then come April 2009 will be another story.

When the time is right, I will elaborate more about this in a more transparent way.
