some people aa..

ok seriously.

some people said that i'm crazy to leave "the company". this was due to several reasons:

1. i got an increment 2 months ago (and a big one too!)

2. i hold a senior position (as in, i have staff to boss around and they have no choice but to listen to me..hahaha)

3. i made great, wonderful, wacky friends there (i'm soooo gonna miss them..especially gie and dils, yang sama mancut like me)


but i have to go.
it's unhealthy to stay.


TOXIC.



i just wish they could understand. it's not alwaayys about the fame or fortune. i mean, yea money is important but it's not EVERYTHING.

oh, i had this conversation with someone from the past and he said "sheemi, you're so so stupid. money IS everything. you cakap senang la..u pompuan.. lelaki kena cari duit banyak2.. happy ke, tak happy ke, we have to work and find money. with money comes power. without money you're nothing."

hello.. like, duh.. obviously we need money to survive la. i'm not saying that i tak nak keje or tak nak cari duit. i love money. money's good. all i'm saying is, i don't believe that money can buy happiness. and i'm saying, i won't compromise my happiness just for the sake of nak mengejar kekayaan. i'm happy being comfortable (does that make sense?)

i'd rather earn less and yet be sincerely happy in doing something that i truly enjoy, rather than earn tons of money but my heart's not in it and the misery slowly eats me up inside..

(kesudahannya ialah the guy who said that i'm so so stupid for not wanting to be rich, adalah belum lagi menjadi kaya raya. mungkin satu hari nanti lah kot. but he definitely has got more money than me, that's for sure..

and yet, he acknowledges the fact that he is not happy, especially since i'm no longer with him..hahaha.. and in fact, he was happier when i was around.. and now it's just too little too late because i met someone who's not rich pun but can make me laugh all day and has a good heart and rajin and pembersih and loves his parents and family so very much and loves me for who i am and understands me like no one else can and i'm really really really happy, like, if there was a competition for The Happiest Person On The Planet, i'd win hands down..so ya, i'm kazillion mazillion times happier than the guy who's got more money to throw around...)



(amik nafas jap..)



oh well. enough of the bla bla.

:: peace out

..

macam-macam orang

there are people (selalunya melayu la) who are soooo bangga and berlagak with the fact that they work in MNCs (multi-national companies) or big corporate organizations with international names and mat salleh bosses.. tapi sebenarnya keje separuh mati with a meagre salary..

takpe.. sebab the company is public listed, or carries a reputable/prestigious name..
like, it gives them great pleasure to say, "hey..tau tak i keje kat mana sekarang? i keje kat (ni contoh la) Petronas.. yang kat KLCC tu. bahagian apa? oh...i bahagian communication.. GRAND kan? hik hik hik.."


(tapi sebenarnya receptionist jer..)

(ye la.. communication juga itu...kena answer calls..cakap2 dgn orang..)

* the writer is being over-imaginative and mengarut, as usual

sleepiness..

the time is 1.40 am

i'm still in the office..and i don't know what time i'm going home..

i have to be in the office later at 8 am..for a kick-ass presentation..




sigghh..

(repeat mantra: i love my job..i love my job..)

mr. nice guy

*
have you ever wondered..

sometimes life works in mysterious ways.. some people have it so easy, and yet some have to struggle so hard..

I know of a person..a really great guy.. funny, charming, intelligent, hardworking, reliable, independent, book smart & street smart ..all the qualities that I like la kan..

iklan jap: most people that I know yang book smart (as in bijak pandai dalam theory/academic – good in maths, kaki score etc) are not street smart (contohnya macam tukar tayar kereta, cat dinding, pandai cari duit, as in excellent business sense)

Ada pulak yang street smart tapi tak book smart. Ada juga yang kedua-duanya fail..lagi kesian.
To be able to be both book smart and street smart is, AMAZING.

(oh..looks like I have to make another entry solely on that..no offence to anyone..
sesiapa terasa..too bad for u! alaaa, no one reads my blog pun...hahahaha)

anyway sambung balik cerita…about this guy I know..I’ve never heard him complain. Orang suruh dia buat apa2 pun, he will do..beli makanan, potong rumput, basuh kereta, lukis floor plan layout, shop for groceries, jadi emcee, buat senamrobik in front a lot of people, buat ni, buat tu.. tapi dia sekali pun tak pernah mengeluh, tak pernah say no. I guess that’s why wherever he works or wherever he goes, he has such a powerful impact, he touches the hearts of those around him. Semua orang sayang dia.

Especially masa dia buat MLM (multi level marketing)..adalah this company..it’s reaaally good..the system, the people.. (X0…G!!!!)

iklan lagi: it really pisses me off when people say MLM ni skim la, direct selling la..takkan berjaya la..
it also makes me laugh out loud.. please don’t judge if you don’t know what you’re talking about..
wei buat dulu la baru tau..just because you tried and failed in one company, doesn’t mean it’s the same everywhere. different companies, different bonus system, different work culture..if you dah buat sehabis baik and ikut system tapi tak berjaya gak, then only you can say “it’s not meant to be”

ok sambung.. so I knew this guy when he was doing the MLM business.. and I was (and still am) in total awe of him..(dahla he’s 4 years younger than me)..hahaha..


but when we were first introduced, I thought he was 25, 26.


He thought I was 19 (blush blush).


His brother was also there.. I thought he was the abang (sebab dia ni kan..gaya so abang2 you know..dia macam ada aura yang protective).. so rupanya yang dengan dia tu abangnye, si dia ni adalah adik.. tapi dua2 suara bass.. Barry White katanya..


both of them memang kelakar..and that’s how we met..


He was astoundingly matured for his age (masa tu dia 21).. and everyone looked up to him..and admired him so much..


The way he gave his presentation, the way he motivates, membakar semangat, a great listener, baik hati, sanggup buat apa saja for his uplines, downlines and sidelines..
Ke mana saja dia pergi, his wide grin, his infectious smile and his big booming laughter sure can brighten up someone’s day..

Ni pula antara comment2 yang orang cakap pasal dia. Please note that these are comments from people who are very experienced, in MLM and also in life..veteran katanya.

I know all this sebab saya ni agak busybody hahaha.. telinga mass comm, i would say. mungkin juga saya berpeluang lepak with all the otai2.

But most importantly because I LIKE HIM, that’s why I’m always alert when his name was mentioned :)

Berikut adalah petikan komen2:

Crown Manager Aseng: budak ni boleh pergi jauh.. he’s gonna be a success story satu hari nanti.. aku tak heran kalau dia boleh berjaya lagi cepat drp aku (Aseng took 4 years in this MLM company to work his way up and earn RM70k a month)


Crown Manager Tambun: dia ni born leader.. potential sangat tinggi.. pegang dia, dia sangat influential..he is an asset (memesan kepada upline si dia ni, iaitu DM Mr. K)

Crown Manager Kak Ida & Kak Ita: kalau mintak tolong, dia mesti tolong..dia ni je lah yang aku boleh harap..he gives more than 100%.. paling bersemangat, paling best, gilo macam kitorang gak..a fine young man..siapa kahwin dgn dia memang sangat bertuah!

Diamond Manager Apai: bagus la dia ni..tak pernah tengok dia masam atau kusut atau stress..ceria je.. beb, apa rahsia ko?

and many more..oh man terlalu banyak sebenarnya.. I can write a whole book on the many good things said about this guy… unbelievable..

Even sekarang ni kat tempat keje dia pun, semua orang sayang dia..the seniors puji dia, the sifus also puji and sayang dia..and he’s only been there for less than 3 months.

if he doesn’t continue kat situ after September.. mesti tempat tu sunyi.. pastu mesti sale kurang rancak..

iklan lagi: can u imagine? this guy actually learned about footwear technology and design about 9 months ago.. he had no prior training in footwear, only in graphic..so memang start from zero la..
TETAPI!
his designs sold like hot cakes when the company had an exhibition at the Garda Shoe Fair in Italy, last month..

ITALY ok! ITALY!!


NOW, the best part is that he doesn’t blow his own horn. dia ni..omigoodness terlalu humble and tak suka la nak bangga2 diri ni. he’s not an attention seeker. maybe to only exclusive people je kot.. (ahem)

But..apa yang kebanyakan orang tak tau..(well, actually no one knows but me) is that deep down inside..he cries silently..

Dia sentiasa bersabar..sebab dia jenis tak suka bersuara..dia suka cakap, “biar orang buat kita..kita jangan buat kat orang.”

He’s a people pleaser.. he likes to make people happy..he is happy when others are happy. He doesn’t like to create tensions and he doesn’t want to sakitkan hati orang lain.. walaupun sebenarnya dia sedih atau sakit hati.. kadang2 he goes out of the way to make people happy sampai menyusahkan diri and sacrificing his own happiness..

Yang hebatnya this guy adalah kerana dia selalu berjaya meng‘cover’ perasaan, dia takkan tunjuk dia pissed off or bengang. or marah. tapi sebenarnya dia adalah seorang yang sangat baran..straight palm some more.. (but the writer has yet to see its full wrath..huhuhu)
people think he’s ok with it..coz he won’t say no..and he’ll smile and say “takpe, tak kisah” or “I’m ok..really, I am”

So orang pun pijak2 dia..or people take him for granted..or people don’t appreciate him..or people just don’t care at all about his feelings..
tapi biasalah..manusia ni kadang2 lupa..pastu jadi selfish..and hanya memikirkan diri sendiri..without considering about others..


Sometimes I just get flabbergasted because this guy is such a nice guy.. lain la kalau dia seorang yang kenjis sawari or dia memang jenis busuk hati or selfish gak..
but he’s a humble, amazing, wonderful guy.. he really is..
Dia terlalu humble sampai orang tak nampak.. mungkin people do appreciate and recognize, but people are too busy paying attention to other people or things and probably he’s brushed aside, not getting the attention that he truly deserves? I wonder..

so..betul ke the saying, ‘nice guys finish last’?
that’s sad. that's not right. it shouldn't be that way.


to the ‘guy’.. I wrote this to remind you of what you’re worth..

Every issue must have a solution, and when we solve an issue, we learn from the mistake and menjadi lebih bijak dan matang.

In life, we need obstacles kan? That’s what makes us become stronger characters.

Sebab tu some have it easy and some have to struggle..setiap individu ada cara yang tersendiri untuk belajar menempuhi kehidupan ini, and setiap daripada kita akan ada plot and ending tersendiri also (cewah..)

Contoh: Ada orang senang2 je parents bagi kereta untuk pakai gi keje.. ada orang kena pegi keje naik putra LRT pastu tukar naik star LRT kat masjid jamek pastu tunggu bas pastu jalan kaki lagi.. (ni CONTOH je la)

But, I feel orang yang naik putra-star-jalan kaki tu lebih bahagia kot hidup dia.. coz pagi2 dia dah byk berjalan, that's exercise, dia boleh jumpa all kinds of people and tak stress stuck in a jam like people who drive..yang sakit kaki, kaki kejung, duduk lama2, pastu kena isi minyak and bayar installment kereta every month and service kereta lagi and if the car rosak kena spend duit lagi..

Plus, wouldn’t it be a great story to tell when you become a millionaire before you turn 30? The ‘journey’…hahaha..

but seriously, success is a journey, not a destination..


I believe that there are bigger plans for you.


I BELIEVE IN YOU.

CAT DIARY
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of
escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow - but at the top of the stairs.I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released; and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe... for now
