bloody bugger!!

woke up this morning to make myself a nice breakfast while my maid was cleaning up my house then headed to office to settle some claims and receive some last min instructions before i become manager for a week..


so whats with being manager for a week? my manager n the other assistants will be going off for holiday and will only be back on sunday night.. so its only me here to manager the place with 1 other staff for a week.. ya la.. its my first time handling more than 2 thousand hectares of land on my own so sure nervous la.. but then can la.. no problem!!.. lol...


after finishing everything, went out to bahau with chiew for lunch.. on the way out after the traficlight, there was a slight jam so i slowed down my car and behold a dumbass proton wira hammered me in the back!!! my goodness!!! the worse part is the bloody fellow did not even stop as i pull over at the petrol station just about 50 meters after the collation!!


so i went to the police station to make the report la.. and the stupid police asked me to not make the report.. y? simply because the stupid police did not want to do any investigation.. what he asked me to do is just go fix the car urself!! WTF!!! but at the end i just made the report since i'm gonna pay taxes which is their salary.. so who cares!!! let them work since they r so lazy!!


after seeing my company mechanic, he offered to fix it for me for only 100 bucks.. so ok la.. fine.. get it done.. but what i wanted is to get a brand new perodua bumper to repair it.. since i'm gonna claim the opposite's insurence which might not happen.. so haihz... bare with it la... sad..


anyhow, my car's not really that badly dented la.. but shit la.. that bloody guy!!! IDIOT!!!


anyway, if anyone sees this dark blue proton wira with the number plate WHB6143 stay away!! his driving sucks!!!

back from training and at my very much missed estate..

after 2 weeks of so called PAID holiday cum training, its time to head back to the REAL WORLD!!

left ipoh at about 3pm to go to HQ ro pick up somethings then heading back to Ayer Hitam.. on the way we met william and few other guys then decided to drop by a rest house to have a drink as it was a really long journey for us..


after that we continued and stopped at senawang giant for some "shopping" and dinner but ended up not really buying anything.. but at least i enjoyed my black pepper hot plate yee mee.. :)


by the time me n badrul reached the estate it was 10+pm.. but we drop by the office which is NEW.. cant believe they moved in without us.. haha.. which is good coz wont need to pack my stuff.. but i've got some books and records still missing.. really need to go hunt for it soon..


some other news i got was that seems like its most likely i'm gonna get transfered to malay rompin.. whats to be said about it?.. i asked for it... although i'll be leaving the bigger estate, bigg house, nicer place for a more remote and isolated area but i'll have to stretch myself to learn more, be much more independent and of course prove my worth.. it was never n easy job to handle a whole 587 hectares urself.. even a acting manager only has about 500 hectares..


all in all its good that i'm being posted there.. so i can learn real quick.. coz i've been pretty much protected and pampered here.. out there, i'll have to fight for survival and learn how to!!! besides, getting a transfer was part of my career plan to be promoted to manager in 5 yrs.. hahaha..


let me tell u whats cool about being a manager..
1. u get ur own really huge bungalow
2. u get a free hilux with free petrol
3. u get to sit around n play golf all day as ur workers work their butts off
4. u get really good salary which might hit 5 digits
5. awesome bonus somewhere between 6-10 months per year
6. with great pay comes great responsibility.. so yeah.. thats the catch.. u got to be in-charge of an asset worth nothing less than 50mil ringgit.. some estates are worth more than 150mil depending on location, age profile and hectarage


yup.. so thats just part of the things.. anyway, i'm grateful that people has confidence in me.. hopfully i'll not let them down.. as for now, Mr. VJ Kumar (my training manager) said i'm not a planter yet.. only a flower planter coz i am yet to plant any oil palm trees.. only leads of flowers.. lol...


my new bed had arrived.. but sad to say i wont be bringing it on my transfer.. so looks like someone else will be enjoying it as soon as i get transfered.. but i have not recieved any official memo yet.. so i'll just have to sit back and wait for it.. half an hour ago some of my workers were asking me about it.. but yeah.. i dont know how true is it so would be best not confirming anything..

leaving for 2 weeks.. :(

last few days been pretty much busy preparing and finishing up things before i leave for training. somehow the past 1 n half weeks seemed to fly by really quickly as i dont have much time to just sit at home n get really bored much..


basically i've been very much working on my project at the new office.. its not completely done but its almost ready.. i've snapped some pic of it..


this is when it just begin..

starting off the cement-ing..

cement-ing completed.. now what?

planted the flowers n grass around..

it looks terrible now but in 2 weeks it'll look much better..



so now as the words r done, i'll have to start doing the logo..

E.M.P.T.Y

KLK logo - draft logo before leveling the soil

done connecting + leveling + making frame.. i think can be completed tomorrow. then time for more planting of grasses.. too bad i wont be around to see it until another 2 more weeks..


today, what i've been doing is going on a joy ride with my manager and doing nursery hopping.. from the nursery in bahau to the ones in kuala pilah.. pactically spend the whole moreing out with him.. got back then realizing i was very short of time.. but still good thing can complete my things at 6.30pm when my work is suppose to end at 1pm.. lol...


as for my little investment cum business, its been doing well.. but the problem is i'm really short of cash now even had to borrow some money from my parents to lend it to my worker coz of RAYA.. haihz... but anyway.. thanks mom.. :) now i'm just counting down to the 19th where my money will come in again coz its their PAYDAY :) i current profit is i think just slightly below RM200.. i'm not too sure coz din really count today..


as for now, i'm ady all packed n ready to go to sleep then leave tomorrow at 8.30am with badrul.. there r few things i'm actually worried about.. my house, my fish n my dear monkey.. although ady arrange people to come feed it 3 times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and ady bought grapes, apples, pears and other things worth more than 30 bucks for him.. i think this monkey spends mroe money of food than me.. lol... anyhow i'll miss mojo... haihz... wonder if i can take him along..


here's some photo that shows people that leaving the city aint the worst thing.. u get some other really beautiful things... such as THIS :

the sun hiding behind some dark clouds

just one of the beautiful sunsets = awesome

my house from afar.. thats how big it is.
.
some pattern of the clouds

today's sunset with the blue sky and soe formation from the clouds

its actually much more beautiful compared to the picture.. see it to believe it..

the moon at night.. had stars around but not near enough to take it with the moon.. it was really bright..

i noticed a bee hive in my garden.. it big but then its still new.. no honey yet as the hive is still flat.. wait for another 2 weeks n it'll be filled with honey.. :)


alright.. time to sleep.. tomorrow attending muster then having a 5 hours drive.. i plan to travel at 90km/hour again tomrrow.. slow n steady.. save petrol..


IPOH... here i come!!!

UTAR -> good?

i noticed that my post on segi college has had pretty many hits somehow but i definitely did not write anything nice about it.. coz what i wnt through there sucked... so since i'm an ex UTARian so i guess i should also write something about UTAR..


i'll start off with the pro of UTAR

1. its pretty much cheaper than other private uni
2. most of it's courses are credited by LAN which is suppose to be good
3. its new campus is really big, beautiful and conducive
4. the rapidly growing university is being affiliated with many world renowned universities
5. they are always striving to improve their standard of education and lecturers
6. utar certificated is well recognized by many private and governmental organizations
7. various highly demanded courses are being added into the list of offered course hence foundation in utar is highly recommended
8. enables students to be in touch with many event organizing to improve communication, management and social skills
9. provides good soft skill and other vocational trainings to students at a very reasonable price
10. the uni invest heavily in research and development in sciences


the con of utar
1. its highly populated with chinese hence the level of english language might not be as good as some other uni
2. the standard of lecturer are not well maintained but they are working on it
3. weak alumni community as it has just been founded
4. if not placed at kampar, other campuses might not be as condusive because some of the faculties are placed at industry lots


some other things why you should consider UTAR
1. our vice president Dr. yeoh is an awesome person. friendly, meek yet at the same time respectable
2. more than 80% employment 6 months after graduation
3. offers scholarships + master programme scholarship
4. offers study loans (PTPTN)
5. i dont know.. i guess coz i'm from there..


from my experience there its not the best learning environment but indeed my uni life where i was actively involved in events and socities was well worth. learn alot from my supervisors, seniors and other people. new skills, new friends, had to push myself through sleepless nights and all... made me a hard shell to take on the working world.


besides that if u dont think u r really smart u can really consider UTAR as u will be able to graduate. but if u are a high flyer, the moment u start getting results, u'll be really happy to see your name in the first class list during convocation rather than a second upper in some other universities.


think about it.. consider it..


p/s: this is not an advertistment but just how i feel and something to leave for my uni.. :)

3 days to training..

yesterday my manager brought me over to a division of my estate. its about 600 hectare of prime oil palm.. decently good crop which should be able to hit 30-31 tonne per hectare for this year..


manager asked me of i would like to go over there.. which very much was hinting that he might send me over if i would consider it.. but then the problem is that shifting there means alot more responsibility and hard work.. coz if i go there, i'll be the only assistant there with the manager only coming over once or twice a week.. what if i get stuck with some work.. hahaha... besides that, the assistant house there is not as nice as the one i'm living in now.. its kind of smaller.. the house itself and the compound.. haihz...


but the best part of it is that i can have the freedom to move my workers around to complete things quickly without the disturbance of other assistants.. lol... besides that i will not be so closely watched by mr. manager which aint always the best thing.. but then without much help i need to be very independent and learn up things very quickly.. more like forced to which is good.. but then the best part of if i'm transfered there is i am able to really prove my capacity and ability hence alowing myself to promote myself hopefully quickly..


that was yesterday... today basically everything went as normal.. bla bla bla... had a friendly game today where we won 5-2.. :) din really have much of the ball and any really dangerous shots plus had my form back..


after that i had bala over for dinner.. cooked spagetti carbonara.. basically its white sauce.. ummm.was slightly salty but then overall it was really nice and cheesy plus the cheese sausage i added went along really well.. had a short chat before him leaving.. so i guess its good la.. can make people working for u happy so that they r more willing to work.. just hope he dont mess up things while i'm gone.. haha.... i'll need to call back to do regular check up..


time to sleep..

monday...

today's progress of work.. finished putting the bricks together with cement and now its the plastering part where all the bricks will be covered with cement for a real good look.. only half the T and AM is done.. i'll need to quickly prepare to build the logo and start planting the flowers..

there's alot to be done for the logo.. leveling the ground, doing the outline for the logo, doing a actual mock up on the ground, lining the bricks then cement them together, plastering and also planting for plants.. haihz... the hardest part is the logo's not a simple shaped thing.. its... difficult.. but i'll do it...

LDG AYER HITAM

mojo and his lunch (grapes) ->expensive monkey

just part of my garden, grass just got cut :)

my pond with 9 japanese carps, still slowly modifying

the last part of the evening sunset from my gate, every evening's sunsat is different.. depending of the weather and stuff.. one word for it.. BEAUTIFUL

view of my house from my gate.. the distance is more than 100feet.. i think 110feet to be exact..


today it marks a start for my 1000 bucks investment.. i'm selling rice (beras) and petrol(minyak) in the estate from my house... 1000 bucks of rice and petrol is alot.. but i'm ady almost sold out.. i ady sold 160kg of rice and 80 liters of petrol.. i still have 90kg of rice and 40 liters of petrol left until end of this week.. i'm now stuck with only 250bucks until mid of the month where all thier UTANG (oweing) will be paid when thier salary comes in..


all in all although i seem poor but when i finish selling all of it n middle of the month comes, i'll make about 125 bucks.. hahaha... thats a 12.5% return in half a month (salary is paid twice a month).. imagine bigger model and a full month..


i expect myself to see a small shop opening latest in 2 months time selling more than 1200kg of rice and 400liters of petrol a month :) that would be a nice fat side income for me.. :) but the question again is where do i get such a model??.. hahaha... dont worry.. i dont spend much here plus i'll find a way.. as its says: "if there's a will, there's a way".. just hope my monthly savings can hit 500 a month which is more than i expected..

football??..!!

today as usual.. work.. but out of a sudden was involved in a football friendly match with a team from bahau..


so i went for it late to only be able to play in the 2nd half which was not much better than the first half. our players were very much confused with their roles and position allowing the opposing team an upper hand and controlled the game with more possession..


after getting on the field, i was only to put the losing 4-0 game to 6.-1.. at least we scored ONE.. hahaha.. i guess the teams needs to do alot of training, running, sprinting, passing and hell loads of strategy ans set piece practice..


its friday tomorrow and i got lots of stuff to complete before i leave the estate and head for training at ipoh for 2 weeks.. my days are short here.. eh... 9 more days before leaving.. haihz...

i reached back at my estate to find mojo missing again.. my goodness.. this time i went to the guest room where he was hiding the last time to look for him.. but he was not there.. since it was only 10+pm.. i went around the house looking for him.. but then could not find him.. haihz.. so went to bed..


woke up.. ding dong ding dong, went to work, cane back to find mojo in my chicken cage behind my house.. my maid locked him in the day before coz he was running about disturbing her... lol... used some food to tempt to get into the cage then lock that silly thing in.. lol...


anyhow he's back n everything's back to normal.. work work work.. today my maid also cleared 4 dead rats out of my room.. somehow the foul smell was around since last nite so i asked her to check it out n found FOUR of them.. DEAD... i dont know why and dont plan to... but its gone for good.. :)
