House delay..Wedding Ceremony delay as well.. :( :(( X-(

Our house
Darling and I found out that our house, located at Seri Kembangan, delayed completion.
Initially all of us purchasers were told by Bukit Ikhlas developer that by end of 2008, we can get our keys.
We wait patiently.
However, latest update from the developer was nx yr June, we can only get our house keys.

Our wedding
End of March 2008, Darling and I went back to my hometown, Kuching, to select a good date for our wedding ceremony.
Initial date was set on 27th December 2008, which is the same date as my friends, Rita and Blaise's wedding ceremony.
But due to some issues from my parents in law, Darling and I decided to postpone it till after our house ready, we move in, then only we hold our wedding ceremony.
We tot that we both can settle down in our new house by March 2009.

But seems like....our house delay, our wedding ceremony will be delayed as well.
This is y I am very pissed off. :( :(( X-(

Business Opportunity.. Rejections.. Learn.. Experience.. Grow.. Lifestyle..

What kind of lifestyle do you all have in mind?
What kind of life you want to live for the rest of your life?

Life with scheduled routines.

7am Wake up..perhaps earlier..
7:15am Brush teeth.
7:20am Take bath.
7:45 am Change clothes.
8am Leave house to office.
8:30am Reach office. Take breakfast. Start work.
12:30pm Lunch.
13:30pm Continue work.
17:30pm Go home..stuck in the traffic jam for hrs.
19:00pm Reach home..rest a while. For those with kids, play with the kids. For ladies, prepare dinner. For those who are lucky enough, dinner is already served.
19:30pm Take bath. For ladies, probably still continue preparing dinner.
20pm Take dinner.
20:30pm Watch tv or educate the kids or continue work from home..who knows..
22:00pm Sleeping time.

This is a day routine and continue from Mon to Fri.
During working hours, you will probably get all this shit:

• Scolded by boss or managers for nth/small mistake.
• Back stab/betray by colleagues,
• Tons of workloads, all urgent..

During weekends, probably get some rest and go shopping and eat outside with family.
When shopping, also "save save" spend.
Some even not willing to spend for food costs rm10..I know this..hehe..

Or you want this:

Mon, Tues, Wed,..., Sun

Wake up at 10 or 11 plus. Brush teeth. Take bath. Put on clothes..mmm..what should I wear to accesorize my attire with....For ladies, Prada or Gucci handbag..For guys, Timbaland or Nike shoes?..
Breaklunch with wife and friends..San Francisco Steak House or TGI Fridays?
Afternoon..Shopping at KLCC..bought a new pair of Tag Heuer watch for yourself and wife.
Tea time at Shangri La hotel..
Dinner with family at Hilton Hotel..wife hinted long time no relaxation. You direct suggested "ok, tmr we go to Maldives island.."
Then that nite straight book air ticket..first class somemore...
The next day, off you go..enjoy your honeymoon/holiday whateva you want to name it.. for a wk or 2 or even mths..

Well, everyone wants relaxing days ahead.
Unless those who just want to live a normal and average life.

How many ppl willing to work hard for the 2nd option lifestyle?
Even if they are willing to work hard for it, are their ways moving towards their goals correct?
Some ppl may say "I just want to be average. Live average life. Do average work. Earn average living.".
There's nothing wrong being average.
But, if a person is always doing stuff in average range, how can he/she know that he/she can do better than average?
Has anybody try doing sth out of average?

Everyone in this world is equal in GOD's eyes.
When you look at ppl who are very successful, who live the 2nd option lifestyle I mentioned above, you will often say "He is more intelligent than I do, tats y he can do it!"
You're wrong.

How do you know you can't?
How do you know you don't have the ability and strength to do it?
Have you ever tried?
How many times you try to move fwd?
Failed? Got rejected?
How do you see the rejection you face?
How fast, after you got rejected or failed, stand up and move fwd again?
Have you even try to stand up and move fwd?

Before I read a book..Reject Me I Love It! by John Fuhrman..
Everytime I failed an interview, I will moan a lot to myself and my hubby.
I even cried and think that I am not good enough.
Very very upset.
My hubby got so frustrated sometimes, but he still persuade me to not give up by giving me all sorts of encouragement.

After I read few chapters of Reject Me I Love It! by John Fuhrman..
My thinking changed.
I begin to understand that rejections are good and beneficial to me.
With rejections, I can stand up again after failed interviews..corrected myself..the way I should answer qs, the way I behave in front of interviewer..
I learnt.
I experienced.
I grow.
Now I will be joining Ogilvy

Before I read a book..Reject Me I Love It! by John Fuhrman..
I always think that I'm not good in sales.
I dont have the skills to sales.
I know I can't take it if I got rejected in promoting products, this is similar to the case which I got rejected from interviewer.
I didnt even try, I have already given myself -ve thoughts and discouragement.
Thats y I am always in the option 1 lifestyle, even till now.

After I read few chapters of Reject Me I Love It! by John Fuhrman..
I understand that rejections are beneficial as rejections let you learn, experience and grow.
I understand that I shouldn't have give -ve thoughts for myself b4 I start to do sth.
I understand that self-rejection (there's a list of self-rejections if u read by Reject Me I Love It!John Fuhrman) kills..
I understand that we have to live our life full of possibilities and +ve thoughts.
I understand that we must have a dream, a goal in our life which is able to make us move towards it.

My Darling and I now working on our AMWAY biz.
We just started.
It may take a long while b4 we can reach higher levels.
But with our goals of settling house loan within 8 yrs and giving ourselves and our children a good lives ahead, we are willing to go through rejections.

Ppl rejected me when I mentioned the word AMWAY.
If I havent come across John Fuhrman's book, I will quit easily.
Now, when I received rejections, I will go ahead with other potential users.

I will continue reading this book.
I will read this book again after finish.
If anyone of you come across this book, please get a copy and read.
My personal opinion is..John Fuhrman gives me the confidence and strength to move fwd.

**Ref: Reject Me I Love It! by John Fuhrman
--> Recommended book for ppl who are afraid of rejections but want to move fwd.

AMWAY - Slimming

Every ladies should have a vision of ideal weight and figure.
What's my ideal weight?
My ideal weight is 55 to 57kg.

B4 I came over to kl in March 2007, I was slim, carrying my ideal weight to everywhere I go.
However, after I came over to it.
Every part of myself looks round.
I can't wear nice clothes.

I tried many ways to slim down:

1. Cut down my food,
2. Brist walking,
3. Went to slimming centre, did the treatment and bought detox worth more than rm200,
   
4. Drink detox which made me go to toilet very often and made big biz,
5. Bought slimming spray.
   

I just couldn't slim down.
It was a waste of money tho.

Last 3 wks when I was in Denmark, finally I can see results from my effort in slimming..this was what I did..
Breakfast was provided by hotel. I took bread/danish pastry with ham, bacon, salami and cheese.
Lunch was provided at the office. I took the delicious food prepared by the chef there.
Dinner..I have to settle it myself. I took AMWAY replacement meal, which is called POSITRIM, and Protein.

Guess what, in a wk time, my tummy flat oredi..I am so happy.
When I met up with my colleagues for lunch, Ed and Shah said I looked slim than b4.
With POSITRIM (RM94) + Protein (RM100), only about RM194, I am on my way to my ideal weight.
Just need another few more mths to shred off the excessive fats on my body, then I can once again carry my ideal weight around town..hehe..

Copenhagen, Denmark business trip from 22/09/2008 - 29/09/2008 (Part 1)

This is a church, if nt mistaken. :P
Taken on the afternoon we reached Copenhagen, 23rd October 2008.

According to Winston (our M'sian friend at TIA), at the end of this lake, there's a castle which is lived by the King's brother.

Hi All,

I'm posting this while on biz trip to Copenhagen, Denmark, with my product manager, Siew.

Finally reached Copenhagen airport, 23rd October 2008.
Siew was bz taking photos.
This was one which she took.

Departure..Transit..Arrival
I departed from KLIA using KLM Royal Dutch Airlines at 23:30 (supposed to be departed at 23:10, but slight delay). It was an 11 hrs flight to reach Amsterdam, Holland. There are gift shops at Amsterdam Airport, but the thing is, everything is calculated in Euro. Expensive!! Not long after that, we boarded another smaller plane to Copenhagen. It was a 1 to 2 hr flight. Touching down at Copenhagen airport, we got our luggages and I changed my USD100 to 417.50 Kroners. Then, we took a cab down to Birkerod town where our hotel is.

Time Zone..The time here in Denmark is 6 hrs behind M'sia time. Thats y Darling and I can't have time to chat online so often as when I online after dinner, Darling will be sleeping soundly. When I'm having my lunch, Darling's having his dinner.

Weather here fluctuates like stock exchange..hehe..sometimes cold, sometimes warm, but not as warm as back in M'sia, when the wind blows, I'm still shivering..gotta bring my jacket with me all the time.

Toking abt food, mostly everything here is served cold..cold meat, salad, etc..They do have hot food tho..I only try local food during my breakfast and lunch session. As for dinner, I take my AMWAY replacement meals, which is called positrim (actually it can help in slimming, thats y i opt for it..hehe..), and I mixed it with Protein in berry taste. The mixture tastes like yogurt. YUMMY!!

These photos were taken while Siew and I were waiting for our bus.
This is Holte Station.

Traffic here is smooth all the time as we are in a small town out of Copenhagen city. Ppl here are very environmental friendly. They cycle. The gov actually build cyclist land with small traffic lights. When you're walking on the street, gotta watch out for bicycles. If they bang you, not them, but you're getting into trouble..hehe..

Siew managed to grab a photo of the cyclist traffic light for me.
Did you c the small traffic light on the left of the photo above?

This is a closer shot of the cyclist traffic light.
There's a bicycle sign above the red light.

Siew and I had to take buses to TIA office everyday. Altho we were quite clumsy the first day, we were getting better..hehe..

This photo was taken when we arrived TIA office.
Boss, this is a proof that I did arrive at TIA office..hehe..


An odd photo of me showing the PEACE sign.
Y I mentioned odd? Becoz I seldom do it in my photos.

Siew was saying "Wah! Jerrin hardworking. So serious in work."
Padahal, I was there choosing which movie to download..hahahahaha..:P
Don't think of me as lazy, I got do my work ok..

Lets tok abt working environment..
My co partner, TIA, has a new and huge office equipped with facilities like kitchen with chef to prepare breakfast, lunch and even dinner (dinner cost on staff and deducted thru salary) for staff. Soft drinks, juices, smoothies and hot drinks are available 24-7. They even have their own gym room and sauna. All the staff are well taken care of. Great! Thats what we want in M'sia, don't we?

Working environment here is so relaxing and flexible. The staff come in early and may leave early at the end of the day. Every Friday, they off as early as 4pm. Altho their working hrs are flexible, they are indeed very productive.

This is receptionist desk in TIA office.

Photo taken on 26th September 2008, the last day working at TIA office.

I'm still trying to get used to local time zone altho I'm already here for few days.
I'm quite tired at the end of the day and only crave for some sleep.
I miss my Darling a lot and we tok on the phone everyday.
I checked my hp bill last nite and rough calculation showed that my bills is more than rm600..ooopppsss!! My allowance is solely for my hp bills I guess.. :P

This photo is taken beside The Little Mermaid, 28th October 2008.
Copenhagen is famous of this Little Mermaid statue.
There's a story behind it, if not wrong.
Altho I didn't get to the real statue, I got a photo of myself with The Little Mermaid at Copenhagen airport.

We found a booth displaying 2 sports cars.
To win these cars, we gotta buy air tickets..I couldn't remember tickets to where..

I can't find any gift/sourvenir shops arnd Birkerod.
One of TIA staff, Winston (he's M'sian, but has been abroad for many yrs), told me I can get souvenirs from shops in a town called Lyngby (which they read as "Lumbu" locally). The problem is, what bus to get me there?

This is a dbl deck plane which we took from Amsterdam to KLIA.
Similar to the one we took from KLIA to Amsterdam.

2008 - "Polished" & Computerized Wedding Photo Viewing - 2nd round - 14/9/2008

Regalis Bridal, our bridal shop called me on Friday nite.
I get to view our "polished" and computerized wedding photos.
I made an appointment to pay a visit on Saturday at 1pm.

However, on Saturday 13/9/2008, due to our digi cam tour, we postponed it to Sunday 14/9/2008 11am.
Darling and I were satisfied with the computerized photos altho there were spelling mistakes on some of the words and we amended them.
After "polished", our photos look better..
Bt I had comments on my faces.
So, the bridal shop has to go for another round of "polish"..
This is the consequence of nt slimming down b4 ur wedding photo session..hehe.. :P

We were told that in 1 or 2 wks time, we get to have another round of viewing..
Shall c my satisfaction then..

Updated on 25/9/2008
We viewed for the 3rd time for our "polished" wedding photos on 20/9/2008.
I'm satisfied with every angle of myself.
However, Darling said he wasnt satisfy with our "bed wall" photo commenting that his face looks weird..haha..
From my opinion, I think.."ya, his face a bit sharp"..
I am lazy to go back to bridal shop to reselect another photo for tat..coz selecting photos is a tiring process.. :P
But for perfection and zero degree of regretfulness, I think we should go back and discuss with the bridal shop..
Ok, shall schedule our time for that, right Darling?
