我爱你

《我爱你》， by S.H.E

这是一个真实故事。

想当年在大学时，看到这个MV也是哭的犀利巴拉的。
看到的是，男女主角坚执的爱情。
说到做到的海誓山盟。
感叹以前人的爱情，为什么可以这样坚定不毁。

然而今天我又重看了这个MV。
感触有点不一样。
这次让我发现了女主角的老公。
他爱她，可是他知道她心里还有那个当年的他，
所以，他因为爱，放手，让她去找回以前的他。
这样的爱，也是不容易啊！

三个人，三种爱，可是却一样的难能可贵。

这样的爱情，在这个速食年代，还会有吗？
我要求的不多，只希望我的真心付出，也能得到相同的回对。

"從你眼睛 看著自己 最幸福的倒影
握在手心的默契 是明天的指引

無論是遠近 什麼世紀
在天堂擁抱 或荒野流離

我愛你 我敢去 未知的 任何命運
我愛你 我願意
准你來跋扈地決定 世界邊境"

黄灯-红灯-绿灯

在现任的公司有两年了，

遭遇了很多事情，有起有落。
好的是，得到很多很宝贵的机会，也有机会接触到不同国家的业务，
加上从sales到marketing那浓缩版的学习经验，还有相处到很好的同事们，
让我根本没想过要离开。

可惜好景不常在，
越来越高的target，做不完的powerpoint slides，
justify不到的number，hit不到sales的压力，还有一些人为，
让我一阵日子，真的过得很迷茫。
也让我看到了我在这公司职业途径的那盏黄灯。

开始放慢脚步，好好想想到底这样的环境，适合我吗？
我，还能在这样的环境，发光发热吗？

答案是，不能。

所以在黄灯当儿，我到了job street，似两年前，又开始积极找工。
看到了一间我很喜欢的公司，又看了看，薪水有点底，
可是不管了，click了apply再说吧！

结果，过了5天，那里的HR打来，要叫我去面试。
超级兴奋！

和自己最要好的同事分享了，她也很兴奋的参与我为面试的准备。
一起想象会有什么问题，然后演习较好的答案，
甚至一起讨论当天面试时穿什么衣才会有好形象。

终于，那天到来了。
很紧张，但也很兴奋。

面试过程，自己评估，表现不俗。
问的问题，我也会答。
加上我真的很勇于表现自己真的很喜欢他家公司的产品，这点绝对大加分。
只是担心，要求的工钱，对他们来说有点超于预算。
所以面试后，还是抱着平常心。

两个星期过了，还没接到他们的电话，
就想说，应该是过不了关。

又开始努力的爬job street和接洽head hunter，
哪知，过了两个星期又两天，我终于等到了那通得来不易电话！

天啊！我当时真的是超级无敌大兴奋！
谈话中，一直提醒自己不要表现得太兴奋，
要不然他们可能会压我薪水，
可是怎么压抑的了我心中的那团火呢？
很难，很难。
所以与其压抑，我就全面释放！
告诉HR我真的很想要当这间公司的员工，可惜，薪水还是不是我预期的。
结果我又鼓起勇气游说HR要HR帮帮忙，再加多一点，
考虑下我明年不能享有yearly increment，和牺牲bonus的局面，再帮我push下。
结果，真的是好心有好报。我的这个小小要求，成功！

Oh yeah!!!! 然后一等到HR说完，我就马上立刻说" Yes, I do!!! 明天可以签offer letter吗？签完我马上丢信！”
结果，真的隔一天我就去做体检，然后漂亮的签了offer letter，接着潇洒的丢了那只用5分钟就写好的辞职信。


现在的我已经迫不及待红灯的到来，因为接着红灯的，就是那美丽闪耀的绿灯！

距离我的last day,还有12天！！！！！

What is your personality like?

Got to know Myers-Briggs personality test from Fourfeetnine while reading her Dayre.
Out of curiosity, I went on google and did the test.

According to Wiki, this Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure the psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.

There are 16 types of combination for the personality from 4 groups of preferences :

Extroversion (E) / Introversion (I)
Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner world?

Sensing (S) / Intuition (N)
Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you prefer to interpret and add meaning?

Thinking (T) / Feeling (F)
When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at the people and special circumstances?

Judging (J) / Perceiving (P)
In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to stay open to new information and options?


So, when you decide on your preference in each category, you have your own personality type, which can be expressed as a code with 4 letters.

The result I've got is ENFJ - Extroversion - Intuition - Feeling - Judging.

Based on the table below, for ENFJ type, I am actively sociable, enthusiastic, harmonizer, expressive, warm, idealistic, empathic, possibility-oriented, insightful, cooperative, imaginative, conscientious, appreciative, and tactful.

Haha, so true!! :p

Link below is where I did the test if you are interested.

There are 72 Yes No questions, so happy testing! :)

Bangkok Day 4 & 5

Let's continue with my Bangkok Day 4 and 5 post.

For Day 4, our plan is to explore Union Mall, Central Plaza and also Asiatique.

 The first station is Union Mall. I did a research on the hipster shopping mall that local like to go, and I found out Union Mall at the top of the list.

To go Union Mall, instead of the BTS, we have to use MRT. So, the route is MRT Sukhumvit --> MRT Phahon Yothin. This MRT line also the line that you can go to Chatuchak Market (station Chatuchak Park).

The effect of advertisement made us decide to have our lunch at "The Pizza Company". LOL.

Fatty always been sold to advertisement. Since I've decided all our meals from Day 1-Day 3, I let him to decide for this time.

Service was good, milk tea was too sweet and pizza was just ordinary. :)

After Lunch, we were filled with energy so we started our crazy shopping exercise again.

This was Fatty shopping for his clothes. Too bad his size always ran out of stock. #whyalwayslikethatone

So many shops to break my wallet. 

The quality of the clothes is pretty good but the price is slightly higher compare to Platinum Mall / Siam Square and they don't really appreciate bargain. 

Next to Union Mall is Central Plaza.
Initially Fatty was planning to find his Football Jersey here and so lucky that we've found out there is After You in Central Plaza.
When we was in Siam Paragon, that franchise was undergoing renovation. I thought I've to give a miss for this already, so I was so happy when I saw this in Central Plaza.

 Long Q but I was waiting happily.

HoneyToast + Chocolate Lava Cake
Total damage : around 350baht.

This photo has explained how good the honeytoast was.
No doubt. Well expressed by Fatty.

After our Hi-tea break, we've decided to take a move to Asiatique before the sunset.
We walked to MRT Chatuchak Market, then changed to BTS Mo Chit -- BTS Siam, interchange BTS Saphan Taksin, 
Once reached Saphan Taksin, you will see signboard showing how to walk to pier for Asiatique free boat)

 On board. Very nice view along the journey.
With mild wind, it was a very relax and we really enjoyed it.

 It took around 20-25mins to reach Asiatique.
For us, Asiatique is a very unique place compare to other places we've visited in Bangkok.
Felt so different, hmm, it was like you were not in Bangkok but in Angmo's country.
Very romantic and this was the place I felt so in love.

We had our dinner at Nikuya, a Japanese BBQ buffet restaurant.
Rating for food : 6/10
Rating for environment : 7/10
Total damage : around 1300baht.

Night view for Asiatique.

After our dinner, we took a short walk and did some shopping.
Then, we took BTS again to go back to hotel.

For day 5 (our last day) in Bangkok, nothing much to do because we slept until 11am and all we did was rushing to get ourselves ready and called a taxi to the airport.

~The End~

Bangkok Day 3

Let me start my Bangkok Day 3 blog with my OOTD. Bought this love shape blouse at Platinum mall, around 150Baht. Nice right?

Our first stop for Bangkok Day 3 is the 4-faced Buddha aka Erawan Shrine. It can be reached via BTS Chit Lom station. Once you reach Chit Lom station, please use Exit 2, just walk straight until you see the Shrine. Don't worry you can always ask the local as this is the one of the most famous tourist spot :)

You may refer to the map when you reach Chit Lom station. 

We also used this as the guide to reach the shrine.

"People mountain people sea" at Erawan Shrine. 

I didn't survey on how to do the praying. 

Hence just did my usual prayer where I hope everyone can be healthy and happy. 

Fatty did pray to kena toto, and he did. 

So, we are going back end of the year to redeem the vow to the god.

People say if you have a specific wish, and you promise to fulfil the promise with some thing very specific, you wish is very likely to be came true. However, you must back to the Shrine for fulfilment, if not something bad will happen to you.

 After Erawan Shrine, we walked back to BTS Chit Lom and move to MBK (BTS Chit Lom -- BTS Siam, interchange BTS National stadium). This is the heaven for Fatty. Through out the whole trip in Bangkok, he told me that he loves MBK the most. We were shopping for his jersey, his shoes, his t-shirt, none for me.

 We also had our lunch at the foodcourt in MBK. Not bad I can say, but not the superb yummy kind. 

Total damage : Around 350Baht.

 After that, we took BTS back to Siam Square. Hehe, here is where I love the most. So many nice and fashionable yet affordable clothes. Fatty bought some superdry T-shirt here too.

After crazily shopping, we went back to Siam Center for some air-conditioning. 

The weather in Bangkok really 不是开玩笑的. Very very hot and humid.

After see see walk walk look look and some selfie, we went this Mr Jones Orphanage cafe for our high-tea. Very well-decorated cafe, but too bad, the honest comment for the cakes = so so.

Then, we took a taxi to Chinatown for some local product souvenirs and dinner. 

There is a very famous souvenir shop named 林真香.

After that, we went for a very famous restaurant for dinner : T&K Seafood.

These were the dishes we ordered. 

Stir-fried morning glory, Lemon steam siakap, omelette, and a coconut. 

Total damage : Around 700Baht.

A little stall at the Chinatown street selling pomegranate fruit drink. 

The pomegranate drink was so damn good, the small bottle costed us 47baht, a little bit pricey but worth it! 

After our dinner, we took a taxi back to Siam Square and we took BTS to Nana for some explorer. 

Fatty was looking for some football jersey for his cousin and he googled that Nana has a lot of nice football jersey. However, we found nothing from Nana. 

After Nana, we were so tired so we just took BTS back to Asoke and that was our Day 3 in Bangkok.

I'm lost, for just "a bit"

I'm trying to be very objective driven , for my work.

Everything I work on, must have some objectives behind, whether it can help me to enhance my working experience, whether it can make me a better employee, or whether it can make me more intelligent in making decision.

What do I want to achieve by working?

1. I want to gain experience in managing a business. In this case, brand management.

2. I want to learn to make a good decision with justification, and not just based on my own guts

3. I want to increase my personal skills and competency, be it in presentation skills, time management, people management, budgeting..etc etc.

However, these seems off-track right after the business review I had on last week.

I have a feel that I can't "qiong" any-more, because of the inconclusive direction and the poor leadership.

I have a feel that I've gained my experience in doing a very nice waterfall chart instead of marketing plan.

I have a feel that it's not worth to work hard for my company any-more.

I'm trying very hard to stay positive.

I'm trying to believe all the strategies are going to work.

I'm trying to put back my own emotion and just treat this as a "work".

But, I just can't.

I care the business, I care the brand.

However, the more care I dump in, the more negative I'm.

How to deal with it? I'm lost, for just "a bit".

You've got mail

One of my colleague has lent me a DVD ==> You've got a mail, stared by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, back to year 1998.

The movie is so lovely and it has provoked me to write this blog post.

Well, I always want a man who can write beautiful words to me, be it love letter, a card during special day or just lovely sms (thanks to technology) to show how much he loves me.

But God always don't give exactly what you want.
I've tried to get him to write me something, but he always respond in such a way that he hates to do all these, especially expressing what he thinks about me, what he loves about me.
Will I feel sad or down? Yes, I always feel down about it, but what to do?
I just can keep this deep in my heart and wish. Because I dare not ask any more after few attempts of trying.

Ohya, maybe you will think that he is not good in writing. However, in fact, he is a good writer. At least, he was a good writer. He owns a blog during his uni time and he can write, beautifully.

I really wish, maybe when I'm getting older, he will realise and get noticed that deep inside my heart, there is a wish from me to get him to write me some love letters, and he would do me that favour so that my wish can come true.

Bangkok Day 1 + Day 2

We landed at Don Mueng (DMK) International Airport around local time 2pm. Please bear in mind that there are two international airports in Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueng. Airasia flights land in Don Mueng while the others land in Suvarnabhumi.

Me. in the taxi. Costed us around THB 220 to reach our hotel. 

The hotel we were staying in - Furama Xclusive - Asoke. Quite convenient though because it is really near to BTS, MRT and also Terminal 21 shopping complex.

The distance was like 5 mins to MRT, 5 mins to BTS and 5 mins to Terminal 21.

Service level = GREAT to the max.

We were encountered weak WIFI signals in our room, after 10mins of the complaint, the hotel staff came up to our room, and brought us a wifi router to put it into our room for better signals. Walao eh, this is exclusive.. really!

Not to say that, they greet us every time they see us, and also help to press the lift when we were back to the hotel with our hands full of shopping bags.

Very nice!

Room rate can be differ due to the season. We booked the room at around RM160 for a night at the not so peak season. 

What we were not really happy was just the air-conditional was not really cooling. Did our complaint as usual (ya, we love to complain), and technician has done all sort of checking but it's still a little bit warm.

This was the only bad thing during our stay in the hotel.

This was how our hotel's room look like. Not bad compared to the two we stay during Osaka and Kyoto trip, according to Fatty.

This is the restaurant we went for lunch during our first day in BBK. It's located in Terminal 21, food were really awesome!

We ordered Sambal Vegie, River Prawn Tomyam and also Lemon Steam Sotong!
All were awesomely and perfectly done.
We ranked the food here as Number 1 throughout our trip in BBK.
Please give it a try if you are in Terminal 21.
Price wise just standard. Costed us around RM70 for two persons.

After our lunch, we just spent some time walking around Terminal 21.
This shopping center was designed into different city in each level. Quite nice and interesting thou. Not bad to shop too. If you found something really nice here, please buy it. Perhaps you will never find it after this and you will have to regret.

Just me posting before departure to Hollywood.

Fatty and me. Posting in front of the "Golden Gate Bridge".

Just Fatty busy shopping for his clothes.

Tried MOS burger and hmmm... not up to our expectation. 

This was how my burger looked like. Hmm... not really appetising.

Alright, these summed  up our first day in BBK.

Let's continue to our Day 2 entry.

This was me waiting for the train, heading to Siam Square. 

This was how the train station looks like. Pretty clean and organised.

The BTS ticket.
To buy the ticket, you have to change paper money into coins. The ticket machine only accept coins.

Walking, heading to Central World. Weather for me was bearable, but for Fatty was just HOT HOT HOT.
(p/s: with my Kate Spade Saturday bag, bought it in Japan, nice right?)

Central World really a big shopping complex, anyhow, not much crowd on the day we went, and we found nothing to shop in here. (at least, not my interest)

Only went to Boots and shopped for "Soap & Glory" hair conditioner.
Tell you, the price for Soap & Glory in Thailand is much cheaper compared to Msia. :)
I'm using the conditioner currently, and the smell is really good!

Had our lunch in NARA, located at Level 7, in Central World.

( got to know this restaurant from Boey's blog.. :p)

While the food was just around expectation, it was a little bit pricey.

Sambal Morning Glory.

Pho. (Beef noodle).

Seriously, I loved the soup very very much!

Another Pho. (Spicy type Beef noodle)

Bangkok Street View.

Resting in Starbucks. hehehe.. Orange Soda was Fatty's and Green Tea Latte was mine :)

Guy's nightmare - Platinum Mall.

Not much of purchasing because most of the clothes are for wholesale. 

You have to buy at least 2-3 pieces then only you can get cheaper price.

Then, we took a Taxi from Platinum Mall to Siam Paragon.

Ta ma de, the was a line for us to Q up for Taxi, and there was a coordinator to get Taxi for you. 

Was cheated by the coordinator because for a such short distance, the journey took us BTH 200!

Aih... Cant complain anything for this time.

Had our dinner in the famous SOMTAM. Environment was nice, meanwhile the food was just okay.

Their main outlet is located in Siam Square Soi 5, meanwhile the one we went was the branch located in Siam Center.

Somtam means papaya salad.

 When the name Somtam, it means the papaya salad is the must try if you are having your meal in Somtam.

They are famous for their fried chicken too!

Had ordered the soup and spicy soup too!

Just me enjoying my food. Yum Yum Yum.

After meal, #letustakeaselfie time. Took a lot photos infront of Siam Paragon. :)

Then, we went to Thong Lor via BTS for the very famour Mango Sticky rice. :)

How to get there? 

Take BTS and stop at Thong Lor station, exit Exit 3. Once you walked down, go straight to the junction and turn left and walk straight until you see the shop.

Me again posting infront of whole stack of Mangoes...

That's all for my Day 1 and Day 2 in BBK.

Shall continues for Day 3-5 in later post.

:)
