blue day..

somehow today's not been a good day..

got 4 or 5 blisters on my hand.. my thumb, first finger, middle finger and 2 on my palm.. haihz... was using a metal hock to help load FFB onto the lorry.. it was hot and friction = blisters.. i guess i was not made for kuli work.. lol...


during lunch, my ho went off.. screen was blank only the white lights.. but good thing when i got back home it was back on again.. but then its slightly faded colour.. my guess.. it wont last for long... looks like i'll have to get another phone soon... haihz.. need to spend more money...


today finally i tasted the durian from my house.. ady gave away the first few to workers n my dad.. smelled really good.. when i brought it back for my dad my car was filled with the smell although was placed in a tied up plastic bag... and today, i found out how good it was... it was like... wow... :) u would wished u had tasted it...


today fixed a petrol saving system in my car.. did not cost much but it was said to be able to save at least 40% fuel.. alright.. i'll give it a try.. provided it dont send my car into the workshop.. its only 1 year 7 months... i'll let u know if it works soon.. going back to kl tomorrow...

in my dreams

last few days somehow or another i have not been sleeping well.. been disturbed by messy (my dog), the hose that burst just outside my window and the worst one, dreams...


for the past 2-3 days, i've been always dreaming about snakes.. snakes in my estate house.. all over my sitting room and my room.. its like everytime i dream about it, i'll wake up ad look around to see if they r here..


as a psychology student and a so called sigmund freud enthusiast, i believe dream plays a big part in one's psychological pathology.. its actually signifies alot of things and can be a repressed issue by our conscious mind.. so after doing some search i came out with these findings..

Snake
A snake, being the ages old symbol of evil or satan, makes it a bad omen to have one show up in a dream. To see a lone snake and feel threatened by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is even then working against you, it also a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.


Snake
To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.


Snake
In dreams, the significance of the snake is extremely varied. It also symbolizes man's instinctive drives. With young people, it may well be appropriate to interpret the snake sexually. In the dreams of older people and those in middle age, the snake mostly appears as a symbol of change and renewal. It can also appear as a danger signal.


Snakes Dream Meaning
Psychological Meaning: The snake is one of the world’s oldest symbols found in some of the most ancient sculptures. They are often used as phallic symbols and have long been linked with pagan fertility gods. Because it lives close to the ground, the snake is an emblem of the nurturing earth and also the unknown perils of the underworld. Christian imagery emphasises the dark side of this symbol. It is considered evil, yet it is the snake, created by God, that tempts man to gain knowledge. In dreams, a snake can represent hidden fears. Falling into a pit of snakes may represent the many worries that are threatening you. Sometimes snakes can symbolise the poisonous words and innuendo of the people around you.


i wonder if its some bomoh shit on me or something or is it me who's bit obsessed with snakes lately.. or maybe its just me feeling stress of work which i dont really feel.. can it be a warning from my unconscious that i might be out played by someone who's just waiting to snap at me??.. honestly.. i dont know.. but one thing i know i can do....

long long post..

not been blogging for few days n this is to fill it in...


1. GM's visit

a. pruning (2 months dateline)
b. straighten owl barn (simple thing)
c. maintain grass cut (in progress)
d. fix bridge (this week)

f. woodies (will be done as time does by)
g. cleaner lose fruit (need time to train harvesters and lose fruit collectors)
h. poison male palm (to be done soon)
i. complete bags for platform (in progress)
j. repair water retention drains
k. racking (after pruning is completed)
l. stacking (when i'm free enough to think of how i want to implement it)

its a long list.. but aint that difficult.. so i got to start working on it..



2. ACU 2

after reaching back to rawang on saturday night, it was a race against time to rehearse, prepare and polish up... after all the hussel and bussel, the time came when it was 8pm, 26th October 2008.. it all started.. the starting up was bit floppy but it got smoother after awhile..

as the emcee, i would not rate myself well coz honestly speaking... i was not well prepared.. plus have not been emcee-ing for sometime.. so yeah... stage fright is also part of me.. not today but actually everytime..

ppl's feedback... "excellent job... pls do it next year." my goodness.. they crazy ar??..!! do they know how much time n effort is being put into it.. ppl nowadays are lacking of few things..
- time
- money
- initiative

how u want us to do it again?? this time round was ady a struggle.. what more next time??..


3. skating on public holiday

woke up pretty late on monday.. about 12 i think.. took lunch, packed, laze around and it was about 2pm ady.. haihz... so started off to pyramid.. jam here, jam there.. so damn many ppl!!!

many people shopping, eating, skating and everything la.. the whole place was packed..

skated n skated, round n round.. was kind of sien.. good thing got to know few fellows.. one of them was rosemund (its a weird gal's name but it's hers'.. so i've got to live with it..) this gal, she's looks like probably 13 or 14.. but in fact she's 17... if u need to know how to stay young... u got to ask her...

then before resurfacing the ice ring, the hockey skaters are given a time to do some speeding.. so i went lor.. before speeding, one mabuk fellow skated right into my path.. i tired.. but could not avoid him.. "bang" both of us on the floor.. half my pants wet... then during speed skating, my leg cramp.. then i was again on the floor and ended up with a bang at the walls... now the other half of my pants is also wet... sad case... so after waiting for my pants to dry while skating around and not trying anything funny so i'll fall..

about 7+, got a drink n a dozen of jco.. then started my journey back.. reached home at about 11pm.. first thing i saw was my stand lamp from ikea... my dog tore it into pieces.. haihz... i've got a destroyer dog.. first 2 sets of shoes.. now, my lamp...what next??.. my car?


got to get back to work..

the increase in value..

finally the day has come.. its the opening ceremony of my new office..


basically the regional director, general manager, managers and assistants from about 15 estates came to grace this occasion.. it was a 140k project from turning an old club house into klk's most luxurious office..


as for me, i was pretty much worried about the landscaping coz some part was not completed due to rain the previous afternoon.. so i had to start work early.. got the workers to clear the place at 6.30 and finished at about 7.30..


when the rd and the guest arrived, the only thing that they had to say was "wow.. so beautiful". naturally the answer was "thank you" with a big fat grin on our faces.. basically i've never seen my manager so happy before.. the rd and gm commented well on the building, landscaping and the interior furnishing where it was summed up to name our office "the five star office".. looks like we'll be having frequent visitors and the spotlight as the model office in coming years..


as for me... its a +1


during the tea break. the rd and gm ask to talk to me in private. they wanted me to join in the recruitment drive approaching the chinese community in utar and tarc.. as its a chinese company, they believe that the chinese standards of work often best meet the requirements and ethics of the company. therefore, the company is pushing hard to recruit as many skilled and able chinese workforce into the company as they expand. my job basically is to convince these bunch of gonna be fresh grads that working in an estate is not as bad as they think and the benefits surpasses many other industries.. y not join us and build their future on something solid rather than going out in the world to spend half your life seeking for something that might not even earn enough for you.. as the assignment allows me to work closely with the HR department, top management people and of course our rd and gm, it enables me to have more interaction and opportunity to approach and impress them..


so thats another +1 for me :)


anyhow, hopefully this visit by the gm and rd will give me couple more +1 which will leave them with a good picture of me painted...


sad to say, today's field visit with the gm has been posponed to tomorrow... i wonder how many +1 and -1 will i get tomorrow.. haihz.... nervous.. but no matter what, this is my first gm visit.. so i'll make sure it's much better the next time he comes then it'll be +1 all the way... :)


just now, i went for dinner with chiew and another assistant from selbrone estate.. after that went for a foot massage which was initally suffering but now i feel my whole body relaxed and ready to sleep... lol.... eh... dun simply think... i went strictly for a foot massage ONLY.. lol....


sleep time.. long day tomorrow..

gm's visit..

after attempting to prepare the place for the gm, he's finally here.. today's visit was generally for malay rompin (the division that i'm going to). he was very much impressed with the improvements and did not have much to comment.. my manager was also pretty happy that the gm was happy with the place..


after having a cup of tea at kopitiam, we headed back to our estate.. gm wanted to have a look at our young area as the rain had ady stopped. so we went over.. on the way there, we passed by one of my field.. the first thing he said was, you need to send in the hair dresser.. which basically means that my pruning was bad.. lol.. but no doubt it was bad.. coz i had not really focused on brushing up the pruning.. i was focusing on things i believe is more important.. fruit ripeness standards, woodies (wild plants) and circle spraying..


at the end of it, i promised gm that i'll have it improved in 2 months.. besides he also complained about alot of other things which is not part of my field.. so i care less.. :P he also said that he would prefer me to be transferred to rompin only in jan.. so looks like i'll have slightly more than 2 months to enjoy my bed before i leave.. lol... anyway, after we went to the immature area, my manager's face changed due to all the comments.. was definitely not happy.. i wonder what will happen after gm leaves.. lol... gonna be a big bomb..


so in short... i'll have to wait until tomorrow before i get the full list of comments.. where i'll post it here.. so i'll remember to do it... update it every month, see it's progress..


tomorrow's my office's opening ceremony + rspo meeting.. rspo gm and rd(regional director) coming.. haihz.. still got bit of landscaping to fix...

horrible hornet

this morning when i woke up, i noticed that i had no more working attire in my wardrobe.. so i had to go over to pick up my cloths from the backyard where i hang to dry. after putting on my pants, i felt a sudden sharp pain in my tight... knowing it was definitely a bug, i tried to shake it off.. a hornet dropped on the floor..



after the last experience of a hornet stinging my foot, it was bad enough.. this time round, my tight.. it was more than a week that my last sting took me to recover... its horribly painful and uncomfortable.. now, my tight is all swollen and i find it difficult to move my leg coz every move i make its painful.. hiahz... somehow this little bug has this much venom to create such suffering...



tomorrow's the day.. the day we've been preparing for.. GM's coming.. and i'm half limping.. wow.. how fun... regardless of what, life still goes on.. today had another cow chase... i wonder how long will my bike last me at the rate i'm going.. lol.. 6 months? 1 year? lol.... nvm.. company is paying for it.. :)


tomorrow's gonna be another busy day.. so i better get some rest and hope that my swell gets better quickly.. :)
