my ONE month, ONE day present from the estate..

its said that not many people especially fresh university graduates that come from the city can survive a month in the estate... i'm proud to say i did.. and i did it well.. :)


as a reward i guess the estate decided to give me some surprises.. :)


waking up at 5.45 in the morning, i heard rain pouring outside.. thunder and the heavy downfall of water from the sky... which only signaled one thing.. I DONT HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY TODAY:) offing my alarm with gladness coz finally i can really sleep in on a rainy and cold day.. my goodness.. it was like so syok.. hahaha... really... the feeling was like "you get paid even if you are not doing your job and sleeping in.." so nice.. so i guess it was best sleeping time i ever had since i came.. cold, with my warm blanket and my SMELLY pillow and i still get paid.. :) weee... zzzZZZZ.....


so i slept, slept, slept and slept until Mr. Chiew (my housemate) came knocking on my door at 8.30am asking me to get up.. coz today it wont be a busy day coz the harvesters were unlikely to go harvesting...


after waking up, changing and brushing my teeth, i headed to the office only to find out that THE HARVESTERS WERE GOING IN TODAY... alright... good also la.. give me work to do... so i headed to the mamak to have my breakfast then went into the field to receive my SECOND present from the estate..


as the roads in the estate are made from red sand and clay like mud which usually soften after rain, i decided not to blast through the field at top speed which i usually do... so i went about on moderate speed... going over the sloops cutting across puddles of water..


out of a sudden, my back wheel went into a puddle of muddy and lose soil making my bike skid.. it skidded to my right.. i tried to pull my balance back by accelerating..


the next thing i remembered was my saying "OH SHIT.." before hitting the ground and being dragged by the bike for about 5-7 feet...


joshua as joshua quickly scrambles up and look around of anyone was around watching to avoid embarrassment.. lol.. looking at my bike and the spot i skidded and sighing.. my pants was dirty... my book was dirty... haihz.... at that moment the pain did not strike me yet...


i headed back to wash up and change my cloths.. thank God i did not break any bones as the bike was on my leg when it fell... although my legs and hands were pretty badly scratched.. i think at least 200 different scratches... hiahz... but still its painful.. its like stinging all the time..


after that went back into the field to do my work despite my injuries.. then i headed for a OSHA meeting in another estate.. so wore a long pants.. to cover up.. i tell u.. the long pants was "OUCH" keep kena the wound... painful la....


finished got back.. went to pasar malam to buy dinner and some fruits then back.. about 7++


i guess what i really need now is to rest my wounds so it can heal quickly so i can actually walk properly again... i guess thats life la.. we get injured, we heal, we get injured again, we head again.. it goes on... hahaha...


but the most important thing is that we learn from mistake and GET UP again.. :)

upon completion of my first month

one month ago, on this day, i arrived at Ladang Ayer Hitam.


filled with fear, excitement, uncertainty, hope, and of course the mind to excel in work.


this day marks the complete first month working as an assistant manager.


today was not a long day but a day with much of disappointments. (i guess its my turn to have a bad day). disappointments from my workers, bunch counters, mandores (supervisor) and staff. all in all, 32 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 39 plus one BIG FAT ME = FORTY!!!! i guess it was a chain reaction.


1. last nite at a worker's union, my morning muster was canceled because some smart indon guy complained about it.

2. this morning, no muster = ppl went un-reminded about what they are suppose to do - DO NOT CUT BLACK BUNCHES!!!!

3. the bunch counters were slow to check the bunch, the mandores did not check the crops properly, the staff did not do critical supervision = disappointment

4. i went to the mill to do grading to practically prove my point of the muster. so guess what. 3 BLACK BUNCHES!!!! = very disappointed

5. i came back with out having any breaks for the whole day and showed the statistics to my staff. their reaction was : "oh.." then walking away.. = how do u want me to react?

6. my phone.. my dear samsung phone.. yesterday, i lost my bluetooth ear set. today, my flip came up with a problem and now at full flip, THE SCREEN DOES NOT COME ON.. haihz....


wow... some one month completion present for me as a day..


i'm not too sure how am i suppose to tell my manager about the 3 black bunches but i will have to. and i'll be yelled at.. but... WHAT TO DO.. thats life...


today was not a good day.. but God gave us something called a new tomorrow where we can work towards a better tomorrow.. :) look ahead and press on joshua wong and you too...

my 155th post..

i din really know what to entitle this... thats y its as above.. haha..


i was reading my own blog when i noticed something...


i'm actually crazy..


so y do i say so?


coz if u actually read my last 2 post which was 2 days apart.. its like so contradicting.. one day so frustrated.. then 2 days later all is awesome.. weird rite.. actually i also dunno y.. maybe mood change or something..


but i guess its more than mood la.. its some massive element called "TIME".. its only 4 letters but it does alot..


time changes, time proves, time fly-S..


in a blink of an eye.. i've ady started work for almost 4 weeks.. wow.. learned alot and changed alot.. although 24hours might not seem enough for many.. but in fact, 24 hours might change our lives.. the real truth is that every single min and sec might even change our lives.. not only yours but also the people around you...


coz man's not an island.. things u do affects others.. like it or not.. its true.. so moral of the story is think twice before doing anything.. make sure its at the right time and place :)


you would say: "wah.. like that also can ar??.."


i'll tell u: "ya la.. i dont know how did i come out with this.. but i did.."


one more thing..

sleepy me..

dunno y been rather sleepy.. sleep in the afternoon then sleep at night.. n always wanting to sleep.. hahaha... i guess work's getting me tired..


the day my house flooded, i slept from i think 2-7pm.. massive right.. then now i'm getting sleepy also and its only 9+ haihz.. i guess i better get going to bed soon..


anyway.. work update..

yesterday i went to do harvesting.. remember that picture i posted of the guy harvesting? something like that but a shorter tree... i tell u.. it was really tiring.. after cutting down some leaves and fruit.. i was almost out of breath.. imagine going 50 trees in a row.. thats how difficult.. n the strength it took was massive!!!!

besides that, the quality of fruit bunches has taken a drastic improvement.. happy about that.. :)


basically this few days been happy about some thing la.. good la.. haha..


my bro's studying hard..

my relationship with my parents getting better..

someone's happy.. so am i..

i'm happy with my job..

i'm happy with what i'm doing..

finally found the peace i once had.. :)



thank you God..

frustration...

today, comes a time where i'm really frustrated..


with life,


with work,


with relationship,


with alot of things..


how did it become so hard for me? nothing really used to seem difficult to me.. used to be.. "yeah!! joshua boleh" or something like that.. but nowdays.. i'm stuck.. stuck between everything..


work's getting on me now as i start implementing new things, discipline workers, and face the fact that i'm working up to expectations of performance with really limited knowledge.. but i'll try my best...


today i finally cooked my first plate of fried bee hoon..


actually it was mostly left overs from the steamboat.. plus i dont really know how to fry bee hoon coz i aint a fan of it.. tasted ok la.. not too bad.. was not really filled with taste.. just a mild sourish taste from the tomato, sweet cabbage taste and some oyster sauce taste..


i would say not bad for a first try...


quite tired lately.. alot to think.. alot to do.. alot to tell you.. alot to miss..

down on my knees

getting down on the knees is an act of submission.. act of humbling oneself to do what the master commands. kneeling down symbolizes surrender..


very often people get onto their knees.. to propose, to plead, to ask for forgiveness, to show submission to God or someone, to worship and many others..


today, i was on my knees.. for about an hour..


i was wiping the floor..!!!!!


once again my house was flooded..!!! crap.. the hose again got lose n i was sleeping from 2-7pm n it flooded my who gigantic sitting room.. my goodness... all the water..!!! urh!!!! so frustrated to see it...


anyhow.. all done.. haihz.. been tired lately.. dunno y.. sleep so much.. i guess mentally tired gua..


i got a new weapon of mass destruction..

my PARANG!!!


cool rite.. so u better behave or i'll make sure it pays u a visit..

maybe i should get a name for it.. any suggestion??

i can go around chopping the workers ady.. lol..

4th and 5th of july

4th july 2008

woke up as usual.. went for muster at 6am... din feel like waking up coz was rather cold n tired..

it was pay day.. so at about 2.15pm, all the workers were outside the office waiting for their names to be called to get their long waited salary..

sitting inside, i was next to 70k cash.. wow... could have just ran away n have 2 years of salary advanced.. lol... but yeah. took pretty long to actually distribute the money n stuff.. urh.. tired...

went back had a nap was thinking if i should go for friday bible study.. so i got myself together n headed off at about 7pm.. guess what.. finally..!! a person in church who does not repeat the songs 6 times!!!! she only repeated it twice or maximum 3 times.. my goodness.. thats like so much better.. but sad to say.. her voice and worship leading skills... hiahz... OUT!!!

ps. teoh preached about prayer.. although it was long n there were alot of unnecessary parts.. but i guess i did learn something from it.. :) got back n slept... no questions asked.. TIRED!!!



5th july 2008

morning muster... guess what... kena scolding early in the morning my senior manager..

WHY?? coz the dumb harvesters went around cutting black bunches or known as unripe fruit!!! the mill did grading and came out with some really bad reports..!!!

so i started to go around scolding ppl n stuff. urh... sometimes these ppl.. just dont know how to listen.. but then there r many ways to make them do it!!!! CUT THEIR SALARY!!! muahahahaha..!!!

finished work at about 1pm. went back took a shower n rest then went out with Mr. chiew to buy some stuff for steamboat.. his GF and brother was coming over for dinner at night.. the brother's family were also coming..

gold 30 feet above us..

as the CPO prices increases day by day, commodities changes their values.. the previous unwanted oil palm now has turned into gold being planted on trees.. but the question is how do u get gold that are on trees 30-50 feet above us..?



do we climb the tree?



so we use a leader?



or do we use a helicopter??



WRONG... basically we use a fortified harvesting pole created by sime derby.. and here's a picture of how we do it..




so what drops down are bunches of oil palm bunches.. this is a bigger than usual sized bunch probably from 35-40kg
this is an average size bunch weighing about 20-35kg.. the pen as we can see shows the difference of size...

today, i got slightly more hardworking than usual.. usually i'll rather relax n recharge my energy coz working under the sun aint easy.. really sucks up all our energy.. plus.. my "Xiao Bai" (little white) is getting pretty dirty.. even someone said it was awful.. lol..


guess when as the last time i actually washed it..?? 7th jun.. lol... washed it with someone at her place before going for hockey.. hahaha...


when i was washing i was wondering who would help me scrub the tires.. lol... coz she did.. :)


but no matter what.. its clean now.. :) see....

anyway... miss you, You, YOu and YOU.. :)


miss someone loads too.. :)


k la.. sleep time..


zzzZZZ....

first ever before...

today, at 8.45am it all started...



something that never in my life happened..



something that would be the starting point of more to come..



i had to do it.. i could not escape..



we had a management meeting with the staff n senior manager..



hahaha.. alright.. so last week the audit came n really did some checking leaving us with some bad comments.. but actually its not my problem.. simply because... i was NEW :P

so the meeting went on until about 10.45... the manager went on n on.. ok ok.. but i guess ppl who r getting old tend to nag more la.. so bare with it.. i got some little roles to play which is good la.. coz i feel i'm getting too free.. nothing much to do.. which is sad...

then made my usual rounds, went home to eat lunch then slept.. the smart me over slept coz was kind of tired plus din set my alarm right... so woke up got my stuff then headed to office to dos some stuff..

got back then went for badminton at about 8 but got back at 9 coz not many ppl play.. sien.. many FFK...


i almost forgot.. last nite..

was the farewell for Mr. Kalai.. so went to a malay restorant.. according to them had nice n cheap food.. alright.. so was not really a feast... we had:

1. fried fish in sweet n sour sauce
2. some vege with salted fish
3. tom yam soup
4. minced meat in egg
5. quail cooked with some sweet sauce

the quail and minced meat wa nice.. the rest... haihz... guess what.. there were 16 ppl n the bill was RM350!!! thats expensive la.. can eat much nicer n more things in a chinese restorant!!!

after that me n chiew went to some chops to look around before going to a little cafe to have some beer.. chilled there for awhile.. chatted n stuff then headed back at about 12.. still have one bottle of heniekken in the fridge.. :)

time to sleep.. need rest..
