Here we go freestyling again...

Check my latest video out. This could be my final freestyling video.



Recently, I have been trying to figure out the dance technique called shuffling. So, It's going to be a long rest before I make another dance video. Progress for shuffling so far fairly good. I just realized that shuffling requires VERY strong stamina, VERY good agility, and VERY synchronized coordination. So, I am trying my best to learn shuffling through videos from Youtube. For those newbies (I mean for those who doesn't know any other dance, very fresh from anything) who want to learn shuffling, you have great advantages over those who had learnt other form of dancing. Explanation? Too long. Ask me if you are curious about this fact.

My First Homemade Desktop Background...

With the power of Adobe Photoshop (again) and since I got nothing to do (again), I made a desktop background that suits people who are "emo". Right now it is my current desktop background and it looks cool and so "emo" at the same time. I don't know where in the world I got the inspiration from, but whoever or whatever it is, I am very grateful. Haha...

Feel free to use it as desktop background if you want to.

This is what you called "Nothing-to-do"...

Let me show you the power of Adobe Photoshop.

Yes, it's me.

But that was ALREADY photoshop-ed.

Surprised?

Check out the actual picture.

This is a fine example of "nothing-to-do". Haha...

MIFF 2007

Experience... That's what is all about...

9 long days I have been travelling on the LRT and STAR train. Each day I have seen advertisement that has been out-dated on the glass panel of the train, cursing myself for not finding a place to sit, swearing in my heart as I see my Touch'n'go card's credit reduced, etc., etc. But these do not go to waste.

MIFF, or Malaysian International Furniture Fair, is an organization that held an event (called MIFF) once in every year. It has more than 485 exhibits to be premiered and promised quality furniture from every exhibits. Yes, it does sound grand. It IS grand. But what does everybody not know is the ACTUAL effort to organize the event itself.

My friend told me about this event in the middle of the night through MSN (Pamelyn, it was 1am, please-lah). So, we went for the interview in Cheras and the interview only lasted 3 minutes. My goodness, all the way to Taman Maluri and used up RM4++, and all I need is THREE MINUTES??? [Banging my head on the wall]

Few weeks later, I got the telephone call from MIFF, and I was given the 5 days job. Due to my corrupted mind of money, I asked for the 9 days job (there was two options: five days or nine days). This decision completely changed my life. Rather than getting a job where I have to use my communication skill with the foreigners, I got the job where I have to assist the hall coordinator, which means, I have to manage a hall during setting up, show day, and moving out.

It's like becoming the middle man in the three way battle: MIFF, exhibitor and contractor. My legs always become numb in the first hour due to long walking distance. There were so many things to do: making sure lightning are okay, checking workers' pass, checking construction of the booth, carpet, etc., etc.

From the eye of an outsider, it looks like everything is normal and peaceful, but the real picture was much different. Sometimes I have to be strict at some particular factor. Sometimes I have to be flexible in order to fulfill the exhibitor's needs. I have to stand some exhibitors' anger as they spat out their fury at me. So, I am actually the representative of MIFF to get scolded by exhibitor. Just joking.

But all the effort I did was considered an experience to me. I also forgot how many cups of coffee I have taken to stay awake. I have never seen an organisation that is more organized than MIFF. Thumbs up for MIFF. :D

Overall, sugar and spice and everything's nice. It's an experience worth going through. If there is any other future events, I would gladly try my best to be the part of it.

A New and Weird Perspective

Since the day I started working, I did not know that it's going to change my life...until now.

I have just resigned from Everkids and started looking back at what I have done. I can remember customers who smiles and enquires politely, who frown and do not believe a single word I said, or who is eccentric in words and kept saying, "Oh really?? Wow!! That's was like, dude, cool~!" There are times when customer gets a bit frustrated when I took a while to search for stock...only to realized that there is no stock for that specific item. My conclusion: Damansara and Bandar Utama people are very patient and are willing to endure anything that I did wrong.

Well, that changed my life. Not everybody is not nice after all.

Wait, there is a bigger change in me. I became very money-minded.

Imagine everyday when you pay something, you will ponder on the spot "Thank god, finally I can buy that thing" or "It's going to be so fun~!" or "Alright, still got one more thing to buy" or "Hmm...it's nice...should buy one more"... But for me (viewers, do not be petrified), when I pay for something, I will think:

"How many hours of my pay has been spend?"

Maybe you don't understand at first.

For example, since I was working in Everkids RM5 per hour, when I buy KFC Set Meal that is RM9++, I will ponder, "There goes 2 hours of my pay..." It's so freaky, since I never have this thought before. When I bought a whole cake for RM90++ for my class gathering, I was actually thinking, "This is equal to 3 days of my pay...hm...how to cover it?". If I treat my friends, I will always think of the money first. I will be calculating in my mind, how much is the treat, equivalent to how many hours of my pay. Even sometimes I will skipped dinner break to save money to cover up my expenditure days ago. I will feel stressed when I spend RM10 or more in one goal. I will also be worrying about whether my expenditure will make me lose the interest benefit in the bank.

Oh, dear. What has happened to me? Is it a good or bad sign???

Currently (which means right now) I am trying very hard to balance out my mindset. I have to remember that there are times to save my money and times to spend my money too. It's not only one way at all. I trying to remind myself now and then. *frustrated*

Oh well, I'm working on it. Before I end, I would like to say thank you to my collegue especially my boss, Mr. Wan for giving me an experience of my lifetime. Hope you all achieved your sales target in March!! (no more RotiBoy for dinner anymore...*sob*[T.T] )
