Work..work...

Up to date..i find that my job portfolio is totally a CRAP, one thing i've learnt for sure through this job is,

During my next interview in any pharmaceutical company :-

1) Do check if the boss u'll be reporting to is newly promoted ( this is a big NO-NO)
2) Do ask if the position is an existing ones ( could be considered) or a newly created ones like mine (Don't waste ur bloody time - even if the pay is good, its gonna kill ur working mood slow n
steadily)
3) Do ask if u have a confirm customer list to be called upon (This is very crucial - u wouldn't want to end up not having one, and worst to check whether its ur customer or not even if its ur area)
4) Do ask how many reps are covering one area? and how will the sales be tagged to u.

and up till now...i'm so far off the track, since the given number is BLOODY ridicoulous!!!
my motivation level to hit the numbers is no longer around..giving it a sales driven job..dammit.

Why do new bosses always wants to prove themselves in a very wrong way? Is it that by coming up with an initiatives that he " thought" would work..prior to not having any good research in hands about it..and only going through instincts?

I wonder how these bosses push n sell themselves around, but in actual fact they didn't even know the slightest bit of their own initiatives.

To all the new bosses out there, please put ur brain to work and the most important thing is DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!....

Follow-Up

Its time to open my chin stitch, appoinment at 10am..reach around 15 past 10. Dr Jalil's clinic is so packed!!...omigod, kul berapa la my turn ni...:( ...waited till 11.30, finished 3 magazines. Tak tahan dah sitting for long, went for b'fast dulu with my mom. (Ishh..dah la kaki sakit ni, patient lak ramai).

Actually, while i was reading magazines..i have a quick look around of the patient pool here. Since its a cosmetic surgeon's clinic, no surprise most them are woman..young and old. Most of these woman i think classic case of f.up lah...but out of them all, stands two indonesian women..from the way they look...i can tell at once. She flash a very sweet smile to me...n i smile back to her. One thing i noticed bout this lady, she has a small, tilted nose...not usually common among indonesians in malaysia...i'm talking bout the normal class ones here.

So i guessed she did a nose job there (i think now common kan all these jobs2 ni semua), and she was holding her stomach every now n then...tummy tuck la tu. I have to collect my medication at the pharmacy after i got another week of mc (my knees are still struggling to bend :( ).

All these while i thought, ladies who came for all these procedures must have got a lot of money, and they don't have to work as hard to earn it..my believes goes down the drain when i saw the same lady at the pharmacy, with her husband..who was holding a motorcycle helmet (the normal ones mind you)..waiting to pay for her medication or treatment watsoever!!!!

Waa..now i believe woman who HAVE money regardless of much or not, can spend their money in the most absurd way that u could possibly imagine. Pompuan, pompuan...(geleng kepala!!!)

I'm Officially a cyclist? ye ke?

Thursday night cycling session in putrajaya, last week with PCC. I'm all set this time around, nak balas dendam la konon..coz last two session i was left behind sebab kena wait for my frens..n the one b4 this one i'm caught up with bad runnning nose...so this time around, i don't want anything to stop me from being left behind...dah siap pump my roadie tyre at home.

I reach putrajaya 15 past 8pm, good timing..:), take out my bike..n my front tyre, (aduhh..pasal takde angin plak ni? flat habis tayar aku...)..then dengan sedihnya..jamie arrived..told her "eh..can't make it la tonite..my tube punctured"..jamie reply "alaa..dun worry i've got extra tube..just get some guys to help u fix it"...thank god, few guys managed to help me fix the tube though..almost 10 past 8.30 though..then vong asked "u come alone tonite"..i said "yeah.."..he must be thinking to himself, aduh minah ni nyer tyre nak puntured time ni la..haha..sorry vong.

Then we are all set to go...Don join this time around with his mountain bike!!...about 15 mins riding through..i'm the 2nd person behind Don at the leading front..tiba2..i noticed my tyre is almost hitting Don's tyre..i tried badly to avoid it..tak sempat or panic to drop the gear..BANG!!!!
I hit Don's bike..a girl from behind hit me from the back...i fall on my left hips

Omigod..i feel like..am i dying?..my body shivers all over, and i'm groaning over pain that i just don't know where it came from..saw blood coming down all over my shirts..Don tried to calm me down..and few other asking him to take me off the road.

After 10-15mis or so i think..i'm already on the grass along the road side...Vong is gone to take his car, only i noticed that my teeth is chipped!!! middle teeth pulak tu...omigod..and the blood that was all over my shirt came from a big open wound under my chin. Ya allah..this is the last thing that i had in mind when i actually started cycling.

Then..to further notice, a big open wound at my left arm..n my right knee. Don put a tissue on my chin..and all i could care about at that time was..my chipped teeth!!..then hsing ling and don assured me the dentist can fix a cosmetic teeth touch-up in no time..relieved skit dengar, in a matter of time, Vong arrived pick me and my bike..lucky my bike is in its tip top condition...tuan dia je yang koyak.


1)my chin after the stitch
3)bruised knee....sakit!!
2)bruised left arms..pedih ya ampun!!

Now..i'm officially a cyclist (as vong said :) ) and also officially on mc for 1 week...hehehe, w'pun kaki ni tempang skit..tapi alhamdullilah my injuries not as bad la. Consider lucky la tu...

P/S: I've to hang up my bike for a min of 3 weeks the least now, my chipped teeth dah fix..got my sweet smile back...i'l be riding back as soon as i'm good to go!!! (tak serik2 budak ni)

"I'm a Sales Manager..please respect me!!"

Alkisahnya begini..we need to sort out customer list with other team last wednesday, so i sit in the meeting room with my manager, and my teammate...the purpose of this meeting is to sort out the customer list..so:-

1. We won't call on the same customers.
2. To know from the other team (since we're in a special task in hands) which customers that
they couldn't call on (the ones they feel like less potential to call on, we'll take it on hands
and the whole purpose is to develop untapped customer potential for COMPANY growth.

Few things pop up, like the customer we visited..complaint that no one from our company is servicing them although they're using a substantial amount of the company products. On the other hand the other team defend themselves saying that "customers are always like that"

Ok la..tu diorang punya pasal la..then the discussion leads to customer that the other team should pass on to us, when my manager are around the other team sales manager act very professional...siap asking for advise from my manager..then the other team decide to pass on to my team some of their customer.

Nak dijadikan cerita, my manager have to leave the meeting for another meeting..he ask me to continue with the customer list he has in hands..so we go through the customer one by one.
Sampai kat one customer..that previously when my manager is around they have agreed to pass it on to us..the sales manager said "that's our customer" (w'pun in actual never visited the customer)..then aku confuse la..aku reply "oh, actually i've written down this particular customer..the one that you want to pass on to us just a few minutes ago".....then she reply "oh. no thats our customer"..then aku cakap "ok, i'll follow up with my manager on this..aku pun jot down la kat excel file tu (yes/no f.up)..then minah tu tak puas hati..and said "can u just put yes on the column?"..then aku repeat again.."i will still f.up with my manager"...i mean regardless of whether i put there yes je or no je or yes/no pun kan ke ada f.up kat belakang tu..tak paham ke minah ni?...that's when she come up with this statement "I'm a sales manager here...please respect me!!"..

Tetiba la pulak minah manager ni emosi, tak tentu pasal..aku reply macam tu je..dia nyer reply bukan main lagi...excuse me, nak je aku cakap kat minah manager tu, "u have to earn one, instead of asking for one"....nanti gaduh besar pulak...so i reserve my comments laa..

Minah ni seriously tak sedar diri, dah la sales team dia reap of my hard work of securing RM30K of sales..bila ku dah secure sales tu..baru nak terhegeh2 pegi jumpa customer..kalau tak batang hidung pun tak nampak!...pastu ade hati nak suruh aku respect dia..Aduh, wake up la minah...are u daydreaming???????????

P/s: tapi aku percaya, doa orang yang teraniaya..akan dimakbulkan...wait for my time to come je la..:)

A sense of belonging....

Have u ever felt the sense of belonging to anyone? be it your family, parents, sister, brother..or even friends...be it a dear ones or just the normal ones?...have u ever felt special about it? or rasa macam biasa je..ya la u have ur family all along..ur parents are always there for you..ur mum always make sure food will be served on the table for you.

Do you have the slightest idea about someone who doesn't have anyone they belong to?
Recently..i came across this situation with a good friend of mine, whom has a non-blood sister..which she lived with all this while..up until last week. The sister basically kick her out of the place without any particular reason to do so, actually she's been living in a very demotivated environment...the sister always pick on her and tell her something like "u ni bodoh la..why can't you be like this or this instead of what you're"...and many more demotivated statements that you can't imagine....Now she's starting from scratch finding her own place..and move on with her life
(I'm very proud of her ..she has the patients that i don't think i could uphold its limit)

Since this happen, i appreciated those who are around me very much...previously i used to nag why this and that happen to me..but i think that's a part and parcel of life (there's always will be up and down...satisfaction and dissatisfaction revolves everyday)

However, at the end of the day..i've got a family to come back to, a friends shoulder to cry onto..sisters and brothers to help each other...Alhamdulillah :)

March is around the corner...cepatnyaa :)

As far as my job is concern, i believe i'm in good hands now...walaupun driving all over GP's in KL is killing my legs by noon...ingatkan nak tukar je gearbox gen 2 tu, tapi melampaunyerr mahal..so i've to opt for a new automatic car instead...i love driving manual (the experience is very much difference..tapi if it takes driving in KL yang everyday the traffic jam is sickening...its time to say goodbye to manual driving :( >

The sales is not looking good for new business ventures that our boss is venturing into now..even though "big sweep" (that's what we're being known all over the company)..even to the international level (aduhhh...mati la aku if i din meet the expected sales target...which is 1 million)..apart from that pulak all the med reps..sedikit sebanyak felt threathen (i just don't understand why they should kalau diorg paham what's the initiatives is all about..maksudnya diorang tak paham la tu..hahaha)

Nevertheless...positive, optimism..is what i desperately need to put in my conscious and unconscious mind to make sure i'l make it to the end with pinternationally recognized initiatives...

ahhh...w'pun penat mendriving sana sini about 8 hrs a day...my mission of losing weight is still on track..lucky me to have anim as gym buddies..:)

i've also join PCC for a ride in putrajaya...waaa fun n ecxiting gilaaa..35km ride beb..i'm proud of myself..ramai kaki roadies kata PCC banyak angin n takut nak join..aku join je la sebab takde geng...but they're very supportive..especially Vong..that teach me how to use the gear correctly..and help pushing my back when climbing the hilss..(naik patah lutut aku ni)...thanks everyone from PCC for putrajaya rides..only this thursday takleh ride sebab hujan...sedihnyaaa


Vong (jelir lidah tu), hsing ling next to him and
kevin opposite her.

Getting back to the gym...one weekend i n anim hit the FF in klcc..and by 7pm..the trainer said they're closing down..so we head to the changing room...mandi2..and when we're blow drying our hair..dengar macam bunyi they're pulling down the door grill..and anim said "Don't tell me they're closing it down"..aku dengan confidentnya reply "takkanla diorang kunci kita kut...so kitorang pun teruskan la aktiviti in the changing room sesuka hatinya...only to come out and find that all the light are swithed off...and grill door is down and locked!!!
Bodoh betul la..bukan nak check dulu ade orang ke tak..main blah je..aku pun call la the nearest FF to get them to call the FF KLCC staff to get us out ASAP....selamat aku ngan anim..kalau either one of us was there alone? aku sue FF KLCC staff yang bangang tue...

we're locked inside here FF KLCC...pathetic!!

I've to get back sorting out my customer list for weeks ahead...bye people!! :)

Kena la review 2008 resolutions..achieve KPI ke? hehe..actually year 2008 has teach me so many things that i should know long ago and chew it & implement it, a lot of sad things happen..as many happy things as well. If any i have learnt is:-

1. Put myself first in ANY situation. (sukati la orang nak cakap aku selfish ke? i really don't
mind)

2. Since time waits for no man, I'm implementing the same rules all along my life after this..
meaning sape yang terhegeh2 tu...GOODBYE!!

3. Be happy to be with myself & my dearest family...that the precious gem GOD have ever send
me.

Thats the main ones la yek, yang tak priority tu takyah la nak eloborate kat sini. Now, my 2009 resolutions...

1. Work - Achieve all the target set..and bring back a hell lot of incentives :-) (btw, i love my new
company n its very the new challenging task)

2. Personal - LOSE WEIGHT AND MAINTANED IT!!!! (This year is gonna be the end of my
yo-yo weight)..i'm going for a gym signup this evening :-)

new solid body sekali...muahahaha).

- CYCLING IS A MUST EVERY WEEKEND (my road bike is gonna reput at home
(dah..mahal tau aku beli..hey..)
