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..


remember to drink more H20 k.. c",)
