Jez got back from Bangkok (... again) for work. I've got a new colleague on board so am now part of the Internal Audit team. Don't ask me why .. I'm HR .. but am also Head of the PKL department. You see how some people have funny abbreviations on their name cards, like B.Sc.M.M.B.A. (i made that up) Guess next time I should have something similar as well.

JAMIE PANG BBA(Hons)IB.PKL.BSBH.
(the first one is my major .. followed by Pao-Ka-Liao, Bao-Sua-Bao-Hai)

I hope my Chin doesn't leave so soon .. then I'll get to travel more .. to all the units for I.A. Not like I really enjoy it that much .. it's very rigid work .. and am just not a big fan of rigidness. Wonder how some people actually enjoy it .. to all you Auditiors out there, please..enlighten me. And to the Future Auditors ... Good Luck! Was actually looking forward to this trip to our Bangkok unit .. after all .. I do love Bangkok alot .. one of my fav holiday destination .. never fail to get bored of it! Unfortunately, the office is soooooooooooooooooooooo off town, that everyday my day starts off anti-climax from the 1.5 hours taxi ride. It just kills all the vibes and motivation! And after work .. there isn't much time to shop or party .. just ain't got the mood to anymore. Don't worry ... I'll be back ...... SHOPPING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new Bangkok Airport is ...... is ...... For Christ sake they don't even have WiFi ... not even at Starbucks! You wanna go online .. use the available kiosks or purchase some dial up card! Sheeeshhh .... Anyways, this caught my attention in a different perspective. Not that I never caught it during my last trip in November .. but I was too beat that my mind ain't just working.




The hotel I stayed in was fantastic. We had the "opportunity" to stay at the Davis Bangkok. Modern boutique hotel artisticly decorated. My room had some sort of a Arabian-cum-Retro kinda design .. oohh.. -cum-kinky ambiance. I've stayed in so many hotels before and it seems the IN thing is to have some sort of visual or physical access from the toilet other than its door. And not forgetting the lock-less door. I don't get it ... really! I am the kind of person who is really particular about toilets .. (1) It has to be clean (2) Not smelly (duhh..like i have the choice!) (3) Privacy! I can't do my business when there's people around .. especially in public places .. I'll hold it till they leave! I jez need my own space ok! Anyways, I can see the hotel's point of making the bathroom visible to the entire room .. (1) For the honeymooners .. (2) To be able to watch TV while soaking in the tub .. I do that to MTV all the time. But this one in my room is kinda awkward .. It has a glass .. and the curtains are on the outside instead. For what .. Peep Show? I know Bangkok's famous for that .. but they didn't have to emphasize it all the way. What if we had visitors or stayed with someone else .. where's the security man! Everytime you step into the shower you have to shower in fear. Or what if your visitor has kids and ... Ta Daaa~~~~~~ Kinky Kinky Kinky ... haha .....


Yet another night @ Dolce ....
The night was the slowest and dullest ever .. and we early 3 stooges had to entertain ourselves with the Malaysia vs. Singapore football match. Sheesh..Asian football is sooooo incompetent compared to the English/European/Spanish league .. anyways, we lost in the penalty shoot out *sigh* .. and having to watch the Singaporeans rejoice to their winnings .. macam win the cup ler .. and saw some lame Singaporeans with their freaking banners shouting "Malaysia Tetap Kalah ... Malaysia Sure To Lose" ! Screw you guys man !!!!! Where's the sportsmanship! Meng-siasuey-kan your country only to put such banners up! The ball is round .. and at least we didn't suffer a humiliating defeat like you guys in the past .. baahhhhhhh ....

Guys .. we really need to look for a new place .. it's beginning to be very very boring and unhappening .. in no time we'll dread going to this place ..

Sigh .. this is what my town has got to offer ..

Sis-Gis damn steady to come accompany me .. Now she very "wet-de" already .. even about to sleep also can jump out of bed to come .. Love you sis!


Lee Fang resorted to his fantasy .. he was so bored that he made an "invisible" friend.

And I on the other hand .. resorted to the Nokia photo editing software. Hilarious don't you think ... there are more .. but this was my fav ! Hahaha ~~~

2007 Resolutions

It's kinda cliche thing for people to actually have New Year RESOLUTIONS. I mean, do people actually keep track on how well they "fared" with their resolutions? Even if they did, what happens if they don't "pass" all resolutions set? And what if we did make it through all resolutions? Treat ourselves to a good meal? After being able to lose the targeted 5kg last year? Or treat ourselves to some indulgence i.e. shopping, theraphy etc etc? After setting "must spend less and save more" as part of your resolution. Duuhhhhhhh ~~~~~~~~~~ It's not like you get a big bonus after being able to get a good score from your boss after the appraisal. My job appraisal is coming up real soon .. please pray I do well .. I need the big bonus for alot of stuff!

After all that bitching .. i've decided to give myself some resolutions for the year 2007. I hope that it could be some sort of motivation to improve the state or level of my life each year, not like it's all messed up or anything, but I feel as we're all getting older, we need to prepare ourselves ..... for the future! *gasps*

Resolution 1 : Time Management
I do have very well time management .. but not how other people views it. Haha .. I tend to work at my own personal pace .. and it's very dependent on the mood that I'm currently in. Thank god my brain works fast enough to get the job done most of the time. However, I would like to change some part of my so-called time management, and learn how to be less dependent on the mood. In short ... be MORE motivated to work! Do something extraordinary for me to earn that extra bonus at work or a promotion!

Resolution 2 : Being able to come to work early
That has been my biggest problem so far. FYI, I start work at 8.30am .. however i clock in at 8.50am since the 3rd day of my job. It has been 2 years and half years now. I don't know what's my problem .. I can wake up as early as 7am and still be late. The earliest I've made it to work is 8.40am. *sigh* Although in my L.O.A. it did states that I am able to "take time off in lieu" .. I'd better stop taking it so seriously.
Yes! I am late today .. again! So much for resolutions! *Grrrrr* I guess the root cause to it is no having enough sleep. Which makes me wonder .. and have been wondering for many years now .. How Much Sleep Is Actually Enough ? I guess 10 perhaps compared to the conventional 8 hours! So therefore, Resolution 2.1 : Being Able to Sleep Early is added to the list!


Resolution 3 : Settle off my Debt
Hey ... am a very very very good paymaster OK! No matter how much my credit card statement gives me a hard attack most months .. especially the one I just opened 20 minutes ago .. I'd still pay off every single cent to the Bank. They should reward me in someway i.e. rebating my bill like 50% or give me cash vouchers for shopping without terms that I have to purchase over a certain amount or give me bonus points or double up my existing points so that I can exchange for more meaningful gifts other than lame electrical appliances!
Where was I .... OH .. i'd like to settle off my PTPTN debt. Any sponsors? Hahaa ... really, it's a huge amount .. and the interest charges or what they like to call it "KOS PENTADBIRAN" i.e. Administration Fees are killing me and everyone other there whom has taken the loan. *Grrrrr* somehow I feel like I have been duped into signing the agreement with the bunch of other 3,000 or so kids. I seriously doubt I am able to fulfill this Resolution No.3 unless somehow, someway GOD do read people's blog and stumbled upon mine, and come give me a winning lottery number in my dreams real soon.

Resolution 4 : Be a Yoga Master
I've taken up this activity like 1-2 years back .. and am loving it. Although given my "slumberness" nature, I always drag myself to the yoga class instead of looking forward to it. But after stumbling upon a
yoga-worshiper's blog I am tremendously motivated to improve myself in yoga and being able to stretch my limbs the way god forbade. I've made some sort of an agreement with my mom that we'll do 10 sun salutations every single day.

Resolution 5 : Do something amazing!
This is an additional resolution .. just to even out the number. Guess it'll be like do something that I won't be able to do after the age of 25. However, this does not include 1. Getting Married 2. Having Kids 3. Getting a tattoo 4. Getting a nose-job or implants, although I would hope so much that they would simply morph naturally into the shape and size I desire it to be 5. Dye my hair pink, white, or anything shocking ... it jus ain't my style.


Resolution 6 : Read More Books or just .. finish all the books I bought!
There's tons of books at my bedside table. I got in extra bedside table to even off the symmetry of my bed, and of course .. when there's a free space, something just needs to occupy it. And it is.. more books. Obviously, I've yet to finish them. I just don't have enough time to sit down and read for hours! It's amazing how I actually have built a liking for reading .. books simply makes me sleepy, I could even yawn when reading magazine articles. Seriously .. it's like sleeping pills to me. I remembered back in uni where I had to take up this English subject like literature or something, I had to read a book before hand, The Great Gatsby, and was tested for that. I dozed off like a dozen times trying to finish that 60 page book. Hahahaha ... useless me. However, Dd Abu Hassan inspired me to read .. and my first book was .. Harry Porter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Ok .. go ahead and laugh! However, I do find Harry Porter very very interesting! And I equally love the movies as well ! Mind you .. there's a child in every one of us !

Wish me LUCK !

Nocturnal Indulgence

Was in KL for the weekend .. and it was a *B*L*A*S*T*!!! All it takes is a bunch of spontaneous "ON" people, and there you have it! Truly a "relaxing" holiday as our schedules weren't planned and we had all the time in the world to do anything we wanted. On the other hand, am contradicting myself on the "relaxing" part coz everyone was so worn out .. obviously from too much nocturnal indulgence! Nothing much to blog about ... just enjoy d pics!

Day 1 : Friday 1.30am @ The Loft


Day 2 : Saturday 11.00pm @ Poppy Garden

This was one of the most pah-pai places I've been .. first they insist on opening their business to public only at 11.00pm (FYI we waited like bunch of loafers since 10.15pm), then to get good seats you have to book like 2-3 weeks in advance, and the dress code was utterly-ubberly-RIDICULOUS! Konon-laa wanna maintain the standard and class of the place. Anyways, that's what you get clubbing/partying in KL .. people there are stylish .. and if you went to Heritage Row .. don't be underdressed coz you'll feel the pressure there! Oh come on!! We're here to let our hairs down, party and have fun .. not be POSERS and act all dolly and sophisticated! Sorry am not that sort .. even if I was all prepped up, I'd still hang loose and have fun like Paris Hilton (if only I had her height, her looks, her aura, her clothes, and her money .. damn right I don't give a damn on what people think .. so what .. who do you think you are .. This Is ME !) On the other hand .. I guess I'll jez stick to who I am !

Obviously after all those rigid rules .. this is MALAYSIA after all. And I love my beloved country very much! The 10 of us are obviously jeans ambassadors .. and you can see that we have round-neck collar tees as well. Initially we're kinda worried that we had to go back to change (duhh .. like where we were staying was so far .. *Hint*Only 5 minutes walk from Poppy*) But we were still allowed to enter despite "No Sneakers" the boys swear to those shoes, "No Torn Jeans" sorry, but Ayam's classic jeans has a big hole in it, and "No Round-Collared Neck Tees" duhh..Fruit Zhong's in it ..hey, Calvin Klein ok!!!! Before you knew it .. basically everyone was dressed down as well! And .. we had one of the best seats/table in the club .. beside the DJ Console with sofas! Yew Meng and sweet May dropped by later at night and was shocked that we could get those seats coz apparently he said a friend of his needed to make reservations 2 weeks earlier and still couldn't get those seats! Our Lucky Lucky Day !

Day 2.5 : Sunday Morning Breakfast @ Coffee Bean
Was too tired to actually know wat time it was .. I only had 3 hours of slept .. and yes, I overslept!!!

The people I grew up with .. Dr Priscilla Kaur and Nicholas Lo .. we've been friends since like God knows when ... 7 ??? We're letter-writing buddies for a long time after I moved to cowboy-town Jiu-Hu-Beh! Am so glad we're still in touch! And I hope to meet the rest as well .. especially SOOK WEI (gal .. I'm yet to see you !! and i'm dying to!)

Met up with Sweet Haflin .. Don't you think we kinda look alike? Or maybe I jez perasan lebih! Kinda ironic on how our friendship actually started .. won't go into details here. You'll be surprised how ex-girlfriends actually make good buddies! Perfect example! Am so loving her .. one of the sweetest people I know. Whoever gets her .. well, it's as good as striking jackpot lottery. And whoever loses her .. well, you're a blind-dumbwitted asshole!!

Party Party Partay ~

What a long weekend it was .. it's been a while since I've partied sooooo much! Well, it wasn't that interesting at all since we went to the same place 3 times in a row! Duuhhhh .. what has this small ol town has to offer laa. It's the best compromise that we can get.. And of course, party week will end off with a better PARTY this weekend in KL .. woooohoo~~~ ROAD TRIP ! CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT !!! 3 blokes .. 3 babes .. 1 hell of a havoc we're gonna create! Hahaha ..

What a way to start off the festive partying mood with police raid!! Grrrrrr .... that's the biggest problem JB clubbing has to offer! You go to decent places with decent people around, and the police loves decent people! They have to interrupt laa .. at 1.45am when everyone is at their climax! It doesn't make any sense at all to scrutinize randomly selected patroners and letting almost half the crowd out just because there were too many of us! And me and Gis became Miss 12 and Miss 13 (close number from the Miss 10 and Miss 11 we got last time round). Tell me about efficiency!!!!! They claim that if we cooperated the whole process will end quickly. How the f$%king hell is the whole process gonna end quickly when you :
  1. Keep moving the 2 divided groups of male and females from one end to another ??

  2. Randomly go round collecting people's ID, and making a few more rounds to make sure that everyone's ID is collected

  3. HAND-WRITING the ID details on paper !!!! And I was able to take a peep on the sheet of paper .. in which the hand-writing is no different to my boss's or doctor's writing

  4. Pass out urine test bottles to men, testing allllllll then men first .. then only followed by the women's turn

  5. Requesting each person to pour away their urine and "rinse" the bottle before disposing it into the bin ... WTF !!!!!
Hence I suggest the following procedures:
  1. Line up everyone into 2-3 rows. Then collect their IDs.

  2. Upon presentation of thier IDs, give them the blardy test kit.

  3. Get them to go pee .. then come back and cue with their pee.

  4. For crying out loud .. our government did not implement the SMART CARD for these people to take down particulars manually !!! Use some freaking card reader to transfer ID data or whatsoever !!

  5. GO RAID THE AH-BENG-AH-LIAN-TU-KAO DISCOS !!! JEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ ... as if you can get sufficient crime-offenders for your god-forsaken reports!
Our pee-test-kits! Looks so much more hi-tech compared to the plastic cup and test strips used before. However, a freaking big loophole to the failure of its efficiency and effectiveness ... You'll get it if you're under medication or even on diet medication!!! WTF!! Just imagine you wanna be Kate Moss (on the other hand, not a perfect example .. i mean physical-wise, not coc-wise) and there's a raid, BINGO ! You're all cuffed up and ready for the central station! WOW .. how glam can it be !!!!!!! *grrrrrrrr* FYI .. the loophole was publicly announced by "THEM" when we're waiting for the results! We're all dumbfounded !!
