Inspection...

Dear Diary,

 

3 VIPs from Korea safely landed in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah at 11:00PM, Dec 4 2010 and headed to the beautiful 5 star hotel Magellan Sutera for 3 nights of stay. They went here on behalf of the 440 AIA (Insurance) group in Kota Kinabalu for inspection of some of the Hotels and interesting spots in Sabah.

The itinerary made by Miss Annie the Director has been given to me to deal with all the related managers and sales & marketing managers of Hotels, Restaurants, and other travel companies. So, I went and met with the sales & marketing manager, telling each and one of them what date and time we’ll be inspecting at each of their place. Resorts and people involve are Magellan Sutera sales & marketing manager, Nexus Resort, Kellybays Sdn Bhd, Traverse Tours Sdn Bhd, Seaquest (Water Sport Master), Kinabalu Pine Resort (for steamboat lunch), Kampung Nelayan Restaurant, Borneo Tropical Holidays (BTH), Only In Borneo (OIB), and Shangri-La Rasa Ria. I deal with all of them, except for Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort. She requested Liana, our Head Officer Manager to deal with Shangri-La Rasa Ria Hotel for the inspection. I guess, Miss Annie thinks that I’m dealing with too much things already… So, ok… After I finished supervising the inspection requests for all the sales & marketing of Hotels, restaurants and etc, I checked with Liana whether she has confirmed the inspection with Shangri-La side. When I asked, she said “Everything is taken care already and it’s confirmed”. I trust her and Lianah is so professional, so I reported to Miss Annie that everything will go just well for the inspection with the 3 VIP’s of AIA from Korea.

The inspection started on the 4^th of Nov 2010 and supposed to end on the 8^th of Nov 2010. Inspections to all the resorts and restaurants are done and on the 7^th of Nov we went to inspect the last Resort which is Shangri-La Rasa Ria.  Unfortunately, their side claimed that they are not informed that the inspection will be done that day (7^th Nov). Everybody was like… “Huh??”. Hahahahaa… Shangri-La side explained to us that they are advised that the inspection is to be held on the 8^th of Nov. I guess Liana informed the wrong date. So, the VIP’s are all disappointed together with our biggest share holder Mr Cha who is also there for the inspection. I guess Miss Annie died that time. Hahaha..

So……… Miss Annie asked me, why I didn’t checked everything on the first place. Well, she gave that one task to Liana! She said “John is now having too much thing, so you (Liana) will take care for Shangri-La”. Aish…… Everything is too late, blaming each other would bring the situation to nowhere so the inspection for Shangri-La was brought to the next day and the schedule for 9^th Nov is changed making the inspection schedule for 9^th Nov went a bit messy and improper. Anyhow, the guests have not much complaint about it and they went back on the 9^th midnight. I don’t give a damn if they arrived Korea safely (seriously).. ;-P  So, today, Miss Annie entered the office with no “Good morning” for Liana and she blocked her MSN too.. She didn’t call Liana to go her office and ask her anything regarding the mistake but she shows that she really doesn’t wanna talk to Liana at the moment of time.. hahahahhahaa… so funny. I think, Miss Annie is a bit childish sometimes… ^_^

So yeah, that’s the story of my day today. Pretty boring but… I liked it when it bores people. Hahahaha..

To be continued….

I listen to this song these past few days...  So nice.. ^_^

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Officially a Manager...

Dear diary,

So, last Friday, Ms Annie Officially appointed and announced me as the Manager of her Restaurant. Ouch… Yeah… I know I’m lucky to be trusted… But that just put more burdens to my shoulder. It’s not like I don’t wanna be the Manager, but with all the responsibilities I’m carrying now… I think one more responsibility and I am drowned. Well, I am managing a 5 star Japanese Restaurant with another person, Zio (a Korean guy) in KK Times Square which is newly established this year. Since it is still new, I’m doing a lot of efforts to develop the business. Then, I also is now taking caring of a Spa Therapy on behalf of Ms Annie located in Warisan Square. Well, I was hoping that, that’s the only thing I need to manage, well, unfortunately I’m wrong. The most important thing in my job is to manage the Marine Tour (travel agency) together with Ms Annie. I need to deal with all the managers of Hotels, Resorts, Golf and Country Clubs in Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi and Brunei.

Now, in addition to my responsibilities, my lovely Ms Annie is asking me to be the Manager of a Korean Restaurant in KK Times Square (Myung Ga Restaurant). Oh my…. I told some my friends about what Im been up to these days, and they say “you’re one damn lucky bastard!”… Really? Am I lucky? Well, maybe yeah true that I’m lucky to have the chance to gain these valuable experiences others don’t have the chance to have. I just hope that I am not burden too much with my job and I do the best in whatsoever I ought to face after this. Ermmm… I feel much lighter after I poured everything that I wanna say on this blog. This blog is seriously helping me… I’m feeling so much better now…]

(^_^)

“Busy”. That word can’t stop me from enjoying my life to the fullest…

Click above video. It's a nice song. I like it!  (^_^)"!

So, ever since months ago I’ve been up to many things and business… Being a Personal Assistant makes me to be a very busy man. But still I’m able to manage my time and I’m enjoying myself even how busy I am with my work. I start working at 9AM but I constantly coming early at 8:15AM every day, and suppose to finish working at 6PM, but I always try to finish everything and return home at 8PM. Which then, I’ll find a freakin’ good restaurant to have a pleasure of my dinner (I like BBQ House Restaurant). Sometimes after I finish working, I’ll go to watch movie at Centre Point while waiting for my dad to fetch me up. Just after I arrived home, I’ll take my bath, refresh my body with cold water and lay my fresh body in my bed… phoning (calling) someone would be necessary before I close my eyes and sleep peacefully…

Every so often I work on Saturday, depending whether Ms Annie needs me or not. If I worked on Saturday I’d be working only half day which is until 12noon. Then I’m free like an eagle/crow/dove or whatever kind of bird it is... =D So, on Saturday… I typically go for a movie or two, purchase clothes, wander around town, gobble up my lunch at restaurant I never went before, eat ice cream, go to the beach (Tanjung Aru beach), eat satay there, stop and stare at the orange sunset, ready to sleep… while laying down the green grass with the fresh breeze blowing in my face… I like killing my time at Tanjung Aru for 1 or 2 hours. Just when the evening shadows show up and the sky turns from orange to brown, I’ll go run (seriously running) 15 minutes to the bus station at Tanjung Aru Plaza. Arriving at the Bus terminal with all the sweats wet out like rains, I wait for Inanam bus with the feeling of satisfaction that I’ve enjoyed my Saturday fully… =)

How bout Sunday activities? Ermmm… Most of the time I do the same things like I usually do on Saturday. But, at times I will go out of KK town, for instance going to Manukan Island, Sapi Island and enjoy Chicken BBQ with Mr Don. I go to Labuan on Sunday occasionally and to anywhere I my heart and mind compasses me to go…

So, I have three particular spots which “human being” usually can find me… hehehe… When you can’t find me elsewhere, you will find me here. The three places for sure a secret… but let me give few hints.. The first place is a famous beach in Kota Kinabalu close to Shangri La Resort. Second spot is one of the waterfronts in Kota Kinabalu… and the third spot is a Restaurant. A well-known restaurant in Asia with Red colour as it’s official colour located in Bandaran, facing the Round About.

These three spots are the special spots which I always go at times I’m upset, sad or feel like wanna cry. These are the places I drop tears, think deeply. It’s the place where I can be me, where I am in the most fragile state… That’s why it’s my special spots…

So yeah… I might look busy… but still I enjoy myself… For people out there too… Don’t let the word “busy” take away your life… You are the King of your life. If you are a bad King, your life will be miserable, but if you’re a good King, you’ll have a glorious Kingdom. Enjoy your life to the fullest, live a day like you’re living the last day. Do the craziest things, your mind can think of… Be wild and crazy. Just don’t drag your self into some of the things that can destroy yourself (taking drugs and stuff). That means killing yourself, not enjoying yourself. (^_^)

It's time to let go...

I heard a voice whispering to my ears.. "It's time to open your heart.."

Maybe it's just the right time to move on and give chance to other people.. I love you too much Anyee... But, maybe you're just a dream and will stay always as a dream that can't be true...

These past few months, I've met lots and lots of people... Good and bad, beautiful and not.. I can't open my heart to them even how hard they tried.. not because I don't want to open it.. But, I don't have the key for my own heart... It's with you... I guess I should not wait for the key to return back to me... It's time to throw this old lock and build a new one.. I love you Anyee, but you let go... It's time to let go now... I will give chance to another person after this...

Life...

There is no guarantee that this life is easy...
