May 28th - June 3rd

so there i was feeling sick, having fever wee morning of 28th...thinking...yeah....i can have MC...so i carry on and slept through the night...then 6:50am, i woke up and checked my body temperature...and i am OK...no fever!...no flu...just sore throat...i felt quite devastated actually...but hey..what to do right...so i got up get ready and spent the rest of the day...talking in a very deep sexy voice...till my boss asked me " you went karaoke is it? your voice so bad one??"...ahahaha....

the next few days...i practically tried not to talk as much as possible...and ended up staying in the office....then on Thursday evening...about 4pm..i took the opportunity to ask my boss for any early warning for surprises for the Friday grouping announcement...i felt something amiss as my boss looked stressed...and tried to leave office early....she always do so when she is stressed up...

and my hunch was correct...apparently, i no longer be selling consumables as planned earlier. but still i am under my current boss but with different post. i was told that i will be under her under the dealer and industrial division. but my sissy colleague will be transferred to the consumables department under another manager's supervision. so i guess my boss felt devastated as she cant pull my colleague to be under her as she promised early during the initial grouping announcement.

so came Friday morning, i went to the announcement with no fear since i have known the outcome. others felt restless as they were not informed or hinted.....then they were announcing...who is going where and under who...slowly from one division to another...then came the marketing, dealer and industrial division...bla bla bla... Stephen will be covering the industrial as industrial sales specialist.... then out of the sudden the vice president said " Stephen! where are you?? i put up my hand...and then she said.." Stephen, this industrial market has been long neglected and now we want to tap into this area and expand......after the discussion we felt you are the best candidate for this position....you will have a target of RM 1 million!!!" i was stunt!! my eye almost popped out of the socket!!

i spent the rest of my day thinking...damn!...how am i going to get Rm 1 Million of sales...this year and i have 7 months more to go!...

but..hey...my parent was in town over the weekend to help take care of my little niece while her parent took her sister for a vacation at Redang. so i enjoy their company..

MAY 21st-27th

Lets see.....first it was my birthday...my god...i'm officially 25......mid 20s man.....damn fast....as usual...did not celebrate it......received some wishes.....then its tuesday....i settled all the on hand quotation before leaving for 2 days kuching trip with my boss....and prepare the things i need to bring over...

then came wednesday morning, i called for a limo to LCCT way early, 630am and yet the limo came 610am....i rushed and hop into the limo and head to LCCT...reached there...ate breakfast at McD....and waited for my boss who is famous to be late and as expected...she did..hahhah....
we then checked in. we even got a bad look and a reminder from the steward for being late.

then..hahaha...the worst thing happened....apparently our beloved HR people booked the wrong day of flight....we initially supposed to flew in to kuching on tuesday instead of wednesday. but then i changed it and informed her (luckily i filled up the form as proof). she manged to change the hotel date and not the flights...and i was so busy, i did not aware of the error at all....until we check in...HAHAHHA...

so after clarified with the HR, we bought the next flight to kuching and head there. luckily we managed to get it.....delayed by more than an hour we flew in at 10 am and reached kuching at 12 something....rushed out...rented a wira....head to the hotel.

with the simple map on hand, my boss and i blindly found our way to the hotel...hahaa....tried it several times now....checked in to our rooms....we rested for a while and i contacted our customer.....the one that we supposed to meet can only meet us during dinner hours

since we felt not hungry we met an customer and spent about an hour. towards the end of the meeting the scheduled customer called and inform he can meet us in out hotel (its only 330pm). but then we haven have our lunch leh.......alredy feeling hungry...we drove back to hotel and waiting for the guy to reach at the cafe...we ordered the teat time set but only managed to get to eat it at 515.....its in front of me and yet i had to pretend i am full....

bla bla bla...we ended the meeting at 615....my boss and i then changed...and have a walk at the famous kuching waterfront....bought some fridge magnet and went back to our room about 730pm....feeling full we passed dinner...

but then i felt like..stupid rite.....got allowance to eat dinner and not having it...so i called up room service and ordered nasi goreng ala sarawak...priced at 11 something..hahahah thinking that i do not need to pay for it...

slept soundly....wake up bout 800am feeling blur!!!....bathe and went down for breakfast....only about 11 we went to meet our last customer....we got lost so badly...till we took an hour to find the place....discussed for more than an hour we left and found a parking summon...hahha.....well since its a rental we ignore la..hahha...

not repeating the no having lunch...we hunted for food and drove around kuching.....but my boss request for food....is very demanding...this la....that la...and we ended up in a rotten local fast food...but luckily the food still taste ok....

head to the airport...waited for a long long time...left kuching at 6pm reached at 730pm...
drop dead tired...

then i spent my thursday and friday getting my work sorted up.....

spent my saturday with my pets and then head to ss2 to Darren place to get new pair of specs and relens another....RM560..gone...then went dinner with him and joanne....
