Career Gone

Finally outa the office... Westin Langkawi, here i come!!

My Sunshine

After a long exhausting day having had back to back meetings, I only managed 3 hours of sleep before I had to drag my tired soul out of my small kiddy size comfy bed at 4:30am getting ready to gather at the office as we were heading to Langkawi for our company conference. A record breaking drive of 15 mins, I arrived at the office (btw, Klang is my home), greeting Goodie Morning fishies groggily… They were all still asleep at the bottom of their home staying closely to the pebbles and corals. Made sure I fed them before they go on a 4 days fasting.

Meow Meow was the best thing during the visit of 'Beras Bakar' ! more like the kitty is bakar.

4 days 3 nights of nothing but blissful fun and piercing laughter in the Zen-like designed 1 month old new Westin Hotel, with the sun shining bright and cheerful as we run the AXN challenge confronting our physical strength, teamwork and speed. The groups were aptly named Vitoto, Yanomami, Birata and Gayabo along with our trip themed Amazon Victory. Running around the hotel, mind you there were thousands of steps all over, for 2.5 hours non stop panting intertwined with killer achin legs, just took my breath away and my footie stamina could only do that much! Later did i realized that, it is our first training to climbing Mt KK in September!! J YES YES, we ARE going to peak Mt Kota Kinabalu… the 6 months training plan announced by HR continued to surprise and impress me as much as the thought of the destination, it is afterall the highest mountain in South East Asia. So what I aint a mountain person topping up with the phobia for heights… I am determined to do it with my JNJ family. As, there’re 3 important things I picked up in the inspiring speech of our ever-charming MD:

1. Say it like it is – Honesty/Transparency
2. Beyond Comfort Zone
3. Enrich Life Experience

Amongst this, there were another piece of incredible news. We will have short working Fridays officially, the day ends at 3pm, effective 1 Feb. hurraaaaaaaaysss!! The positive challenge is, how do I manage my workload ?? only time will tell if I’m able to practice this benefit provided..

Pretty pool side dinner

Unique Chess set @ the lounge

Island hopping with Mr Barney .. Boo... (his surname) sitting by me on the boat

After a few islands.. there was a fresh water lake..

Italian dinner by the harbour... Jo Jo, i call her Ms Skinny, my pretty trade marketer

Sorry Marketing Director, what did you say again?? increasing my sales target? AGAIN??!!!!

On the second night.. kakaaa… blushingly I must say… I should stop after 3 glasses. But it didn’t help when your boss persists to drink as a team …. one after another, and another and another bottoms up of not beer but wine, apparently my memory lost at about 9:30pm (yes, that early)… too pissed to remember anything that happened after that. So, I depended on all the tales that were told to me the next morning such as, sitting on some VIP’s lap, rocking and jamming the broom on the stage floor (I was the rock guitarist in the dance performance, ahem..it’s rehearsed, except jamming on the floor wasn’t part of the plan, though some people thought it was the actual play as I passionately rocked), a baseball throwing act with my adidas sneakers… it flew miles away, both of it. I should spare you more embarrassing details… however there’s one that completely blew away my career – puking on your MD’s shoes, isn’t just a candid behaviour, it was utterly humiliating.. more so when you have zero memory about it !!! jesus crist!! The next day, he came giving me a big bear hug and asked with concern, how are you feeling chinyi?!! With his oz accent. We both burst out laughing, as he described the incident.. so he was trying to carry me up from the chair, and I showed him that I didn’t like it, by performing the classic unintentional piece of act. my career.. had officially ended.

Top: So David (MD) ... did not fire me afterall... Right: Kevin the bee gees, you rock!

'Clear Vision' 9:30pm onwards
