• Lost Connection

  Thursday, Jun 4, 2009 5:38PM / Standard Entry

  Lost connection to the cyberworld for a few days - my Internet line at home not functioning... FRUSTRATED. These 2 weeks has been a frustrating week for me......frustrated coz of my work performance - i can't achieved my collection TARGET! My commission is based on my collection target .... what's even worse is my base incentive will be deducted. OMG... so depressing. It's already a 2nd mth that I can't hit my collection target. I still can't really get over it. I told myself if this month, I still didn't hit my collection target I'll leave the company coz i just can't keep on making myself more depressed. I know that the economy is not good & a lot of businesses facing some kind of difficulties but why they aren't paying us. I don't want to blame other people, even though my heart thinks so but at the end of it, if i blame other people, 5 more fingers pointing back at me. I better relook & reflect upon myself on my results. I only can blame myself for my results. Deep down in my heart i wanted to do my own things, becoming a free agent doing freelance work & happy with it. I just wanna enjoy doing my work. Whenever I think of the deduction, i feel really demotivated. I can't go on like this forever - it's INSANITY....
  
  Sorry if I bored you with all my negative comments, I just need to express myself....in my blog.

• Macau - Las Vegas of the East

  Tuesday, May 19, 2009 10:39PM / Standard Entry

  
  Our hotel in Macau - Greek/Egypt theme
  

  
  

  We departed from HK around noon time & reached Macau about 1 plus. Took the free shuttle to our hotel - New Century Hotel. Check-in & love our hotel rooms coz it's so huge - a few sizes bigger than our room in HK (see below). After this we went out for food.
  
  
  
  

  My sis brought us to a place, i can't remember what's the name of this place (a lovely church which was featured in the Korean series "Gong").

  
  
  
  
  

  We went there for Portuguese food. The most interesting food on our table is "Sauna Prawn" - when the prawn arrived on our table, it's still fresh & live, then the waiter marinate the prawn with some wine & put them into a pot with hot pebbles & let the prawn cooked. The Portuegese name of this dish is called "Camaroes Suados". We were very hungry already coz it's almost 4 in the afternoon. One thing during this trip is our meal time is always very late & we always get hungry very fast, probably due to the cold wheather.

  
  
  
  
  

  Some of the foods we ordered
  
  

  After we complete our meal, we went for a walk around the area, it's so quiet & peaceful compared to the busy Hong Kong. And we bought the famous Portuguese egg tart.
  

  
  
  

  It's getting colder when the night arrives. Our next destination is The Venetian. It's a must visit place in Macau. We took some pics outside.. & later we went inside to the casino.
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Hotel lobby

  
  Just spend a little time there. After Venetian, we went to another equally good casino, Wynn. My sis purposely brought us there to witness the "Rotunda" show there. It's quite grand & spectacular show. After the show end, many people throw coins - they say it'll bring luck. We also throw coins & hope luck will follow us. So we went into the casino & try our luck.

  Rotunda show
  
  
  
  
  Me & my winning $$$
  
  

  Ha ha ha... lady luck follow us, we won some little $$$ there. After satisfy with our small win, we make a move to our sis place. The purpose is to help her bring some of her stuff back to Malaysia. Sis is coming back to Malaysia for good. She worked 1 year in Venetian & have been back to Malaysia since early January 2009. By the time we reached her place, it's almost 12a.m. After packing, we went for a hotpot supper at the shop below my sis place. In the cold weather, we find that having this hot meal really warm us up. It's been a long & tiring day, we reached hotel about 2plus & I slept about 3plus.

  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  Woke up abt 8a.m, packed everything & check out, keep our luggage at the storage room & went out to have dim sum for breakfast, my sis treat us at a famous dim sum place in Macau. Dim sum is quite a big thing here.
  
  

  .
  
  
  

  After our heavy dim sum breakfast, we went to the most famous place in Macau - The Ruins of St. Paul. Many tourists went there to take photos, so do us. It's a good place to take pics & I love all the pics we took there. On the way down, we bought lots of cookies from "Koi Kei Bakery" as souveniors. My sis also bought this porkchop burger to eat. She missed it during her last visit here few years back.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  We rushed back to Venetian coz we wanna go for the Asian Adult Show - we won't find this type of show in Malaysia so we decided to check out the show there. Our last day in Macau is quite rush coz we gotta check out many places. I think we still left out some places unchecked. At the Asian Adult show, the most outrageous show is this painting by Pricasso - he use his penis to draw & paint portraits. I feel quite disgusting, would you keep this painting? Other than that, it's more like an exhibition on tools & aids for sex. There's some stage show which i don't really pay attention to it coz so many people there. There's a dance show by a group of men wearing just G-string & some sharing by a Japanese porno star using fingers to achieve orgasm? After 30 minutes inside this exhibition hall, we become bored & all of us agree that we wasted our $$ to come to this Asian Adult Show. The ticket price is HKD$100. Anway, it's an experience for us.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  After this, we rushed back to our hotel & collect our luggages before taking a cab to the jetty. We checked-in direct to HKIA. I can't remember what time is our ferry but we reached HKIA quite early. Our flight is about 2340hrs so we have a couple of hours there. So many people in this airport. We didn't saw any familiar celebrities. Have our dinner & we shop around, i didn't buy anything there. I was drop dead tired & I slept at the waiting area. But i was impressed with the service staff at HKIA, very efficient. Goodbye HK & Macau, going back to Malaysia. It's the most tiring & rush trip i had but i enjoyed it.

  
  

  

  Me - too tired sleeping at HKIA

  Some interesting photos at Macau

  
  
  
  
  
  Salute this person - can stand still with this pose for so long - heard they are highly paid - some doesn't even blink their eye at all. Tough tough job.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Venetian shopping mall - the signature design is it's always has blue skies - no nights. U guess urself
  
  
  We missed this - Macau Tower

• Day 4 - Goodbye HK

  Tuesday, May 19, 2009 9:15PM / Standard Entry

  Day 4 in HK.....woke up early went to Ladies Street but it's not opened yet, opened about 1p.m. So we just lepak-lepak around the area. 1st stop.. B'fast at a local "char chan teng", we have some porridge & "yao char kway" - very full & can't finish the food. Wastage... next time we shouldn't order so much.

  
  

  

  
  
  Honestly speaking, we didn't really go & explore foods coz we don't have much time. Everyday we are out from morning till midnight. And we don't know the location of good food in HK. Next time we should do some homework before our trip.
  
  
  

  Later we went to have some desserts at "Hui Lau Shan" - heard from friends that we need to try out desserts in HK. We manage to find one near our are hence we try it even though our tummy are full. Indeed all are really yummy... we have a few types - all with mangoes... We're mango lovers.

  
  
  
  

  

  The shop - "Hui Lau Shan"

  After having this yummy dessert, we quickly rush back to our hotel to check-out & say goodbye to HK...Carrying our big luggage, we walk to the MTR station & yook the train to Sheung Wan to take the Turbojet to Macau.

  [quote]FROM:MR.UMEH OLOLO,AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
  FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.ADB BANK LOME TOGO
  S.A 13 RUE DU COMMERCE BP.346 LOME -TOGO WEST AFRICA.
   
  Dear Friend,
   
  I am writing following the impressive information about your profile through the website your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of (TEN million US dollars).
   
  In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in APRIL,2004 in a ROAD ACCIDENT.
   
  Since we got this information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we
  learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the accident leaving no body behind to claim the money. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.
   
  The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after long period, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
  and an indegine cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family.
   
  We agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this transaction and 50% would be for me and my colleagues.
   
  Thereafter I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will beremitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application.
   
  I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
   
  I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can
  invest our own percentage to avoid peoples awareness as we are civil servants.
   
  We can conclude this operation within ten banking days.Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, all confirmable before you apply if you want.
   
  May God be with you. Trusting to hear from you shortly. Peace and love
  always.
   
  Best regards

• Hong Kong Disneyland - the land that makes you happy & be a child again

  Wednesday, May 13, 2009 10:25PM / Standard Entry

  
  5 of us in front of the entrance... my 1st time to Disneyland.
  
  3rd day in Hong Kong, we went to the land of happiness .... Hong Kong Disneyland. We spend the whole day in this park - more than 12 hours & yet we couldn't manage to go to all the different sections, i remember we went to see 2 shows, 3 rides, 1 in Adventureland & 2 in Fantasyland. We don't have time to go to Tommorowland. What a waste?
  
  We reached there almost 10a.m & there were already many people queuing up to buy entrance tickets. Without wasting anymore time, we bought our tickets & check in to the land of happiness.
  
  
  
  "Let It Snow" parade - we watched twice - early afternoon & late evening. It's not too impressive in my opinion. The late evening show is followed by fireworks.
  
  
  Trying to be cute... I'm very tired
  
  
  
  I love this carousel.
  
  
  my sis enjoying her food (dunno how to describe this)
  
  
  My youngest sis is as usual - CUTE
  
  
  Yeah, i took this thing oso... still no idea what's the name of it.
  
  
  
  Winnie The Pooh
  
  
  
  On the bridge to Tarzan's Treehouse
  
  
  
  Some random pics in the happy land for our happy memories...
  
  We left about 10p.m ...... Another full day gone.
