Funny moments in my personal life (Driving skill)

Sometimes I notice whenever I wanted to plan to make someone smile, my plan will normally fail. However, my natural reaction will make someone laugh like crazy.

I remembered one of my colleague who chauffeur me back home from a isolated clubhouse to my home. Dun get mistaken, we were invited to a company event and most of my colleagues whose hubbies would bring them home except for me...no public transport available for me, clubhouse was meant for rich people who had cars. During the ride, this colleague who I couldn't remember his name asked me, "do you drive?". I replied immediately, "I drive.....(paused)..my boss crazy". He suddenly braked his car and laughed loud in the car. I was stunned...i always hear my colleague telling me, i drive whoever crazy. If mental institution is a profitable business, I would earn my big bucks there because I have a flair of making people crazy siah..lols

Im not intending to make people mentally crazy but mentally happy. Currently my dad is recovering in the hospital, i realised the best moment is to able to get contented to be able to eat, poo, urinate. The difficulty of not able to do so really torturing. We gonna get contented that we still healthy.

See, listen, feel positively and live happily, let your body feel the positive energy. Jiayou!

Funny moments in my working life (Remote desktop)

Do you know what is remote desktop? Basically this is the function to access the program of other computer using your own computer. I did not know there was such function until I worked in the hotel. The hotel was pretty small business with only thirty over rooms so they did not employed an IT  staff instead they outsourced the IT company to service our IT needs.

One day, my computer "hanged"..lols the screen just froze for half and hours. I had to admit I really did not to do anything offensively to it or did I accidentally tap on its "freeze" point. I was really doing data analysing and just pointed on the particular figure using my mouse, followed by a click. There it went  freezing in the cold. The air conditioning was also in low temperature about 21 degree celsius because my manager always felt warm in the room. What's a luck? I told myself.

There was my first time calling the outsourcing IT company for assistance. I told them about the condition of my PC and demanded them to come to the hotel immediately otherwise I wont be finished my work in the stipulated deadline. The guy whom I spoke to gave me a very illogical reply "I'm doing now, you just hold on to the line". I thought was this guy trying to be funny to tell me hold the phone till he comes to the hotel, meaning I was to hold the phone for at least an hour!. Just then, I caught my eyes on my computer screen. The cursor was moving on my screen but my mouse was still intact! I looked around in the room, my manager was nowhere in sight! There was "a thing" in the room. It's my turn to freeze, my body was still stiff to react until the IT guy suddenly talked. I finally able to move a little. Our conversation was as follows;

IT guy: "Hey are you still there?"
Me: "Yes.... (in a trembling voice)"
IT guy: "I have killed the bug and your computer should be working well"
I was confused why he told me he killed the living bug at his area and that didn't concern me at all, he should be apologetic to that little bug instead of being proud of killing it. The cursor had stopped moving. I presumed "the thing" had gone.
Me: "How can my computer just get fine if you didn't do anything to it, you was always at your desk all this while"
IT guy: "I have corrected your computer using remote."
Me: "Remote?"
He explained to me in detail what he meant by remote and the bug and I told him I told it was that "thing". He burst out laughing and welcomed me to call him again if I encountered any IT problem.

We learn along the way, I indeed learn it through a funny way then.

Enjoy and lets jiayou : )

Funny moments in my working life (A cow)

Actually my speech is worst than my writing, indeed because of my "deficiency" in speech I created smiles on others faces.

I worked in a hotel mainly catered for backpackers. There was once tourist who casually asked me: "What are you working as?". I replied "Accounts". He then looked at me in an amazing look as if I just told him a an incredible news". He reconfirmed my reply. I nodded my head. He burst out laughing and followed by my colleague at the front desk where we were at. I was taken aback and clueless on why I had done. Then he joked "why's a cow in the hotel doing?". I replied: "Doing Accounts lah". Both of them laughed pretty loudly. My colleague knew I was still in the blurred state,  unsure of what the laughter was all about. My colleague then corrected my pronunciation from "A cow"( ey kou) to "Accounts" (uh-kount). Then I realised he had mistaken I was joking with him that I was "Working as a cow doing a cow". I laughed too. It made senses in my occuption. Whenever I was asked on my occuption, I will tell them "A cow". Because I work within deadlines and slogging like mad during weekly and monthly accounts closing, does my job scope resembles "A cow"?..lols.

Hey all who read my blog, enjoy reading and continue to follow up on my subsequent post ya!

Lets jiayou in our life : )

Funny moments in my working life (Paris)

I'm very delighted to see you are reading my blog. A big thank to you.

In my twenties and to date, I am still naive to believe every things whether it was beyond from common sense or a lame joke. To me, everyday was like a April Fool's day. 

I remembered working in a hospital earning in a pretty low wage apart from having a professional accounting certificate equivalent to a diploma certificate. They argued that my scope of work did not require accounting knowledge as I applied for a business office personnel. I acceded the given reason as I was very much wanted to work in a hospital, sound pretty noble ehh?..lols. One of my colleagues, Karen, suggested: "Lets go to either "Paris" or "Vienna" for lunch to welcome me on board". I was dumbfounded that they could be earning thousands more than me. Otherwise they shouldn't afford to travel just to have lunch. I immediately replied somewhere in town because I did not bring my passport with me. Karen immediately burst out laughing and replied me: "no passport required". I was surprised and started to think wildly again: "Could the hospital own a helicopter? Are we giving a VIP (Very important Person) status while working in the hospital?" With such a low wage, I could benefit such privilege, it was such a good deal indeed.

It's lunch time. We gathered ourselves at the hospital entrance to go together to the destination. I was looking around for a landing platform and signs of helicopter. I was told that we could take train first. I thought the platform could be elsewhere so I followed them obediently.

We alighted at the entrance of shopping centre at City Hall area. I couldn't remember the name of the building. We walked towards a buffet restaurant. Karen asked me to look up. You guess what I saw...it was a embarrassing. The restaurant was named Pariss. I was been teased for a few days. How about Vienna? There's indeed a buffet restaurant name "Vienna" too.

I'm actually a person with common sense but I seldom use it because I trust more on people than the fact...Lols..I live simpler with simpler expectation in life. Sometimes, I realised I gained more than I pin for.

Although some matters or things could be not in your favour at this moment, why not take these moment to pray at and concurrently do your best to think a way to make it works. Don't give yourself high expectation on result if you have already did your best. Sometimes, it will hinder your thinking because the ambitious thought was obstructing your innovation thinking out of the box. 

There is the Chinese belief that in order to succeed, you need three conditions which are Tian Shi 天时 (right time), Di Li 地利 (right place) and Ren He 人和 (right people). Meaning you need to meet the right people in a right place and time. With the blessing of god in your belief and your good effort, I believe you will succeed one day.

Try getting some moment to pray and mediate everyday. The answer should be within your unconscious mind that have yet to unveil. Also, you will feel better gradually day by day either emotionally and physically.

I am also trying to pray and mediate. Let's jiayou ad be motivated together: )

Funny moments in my working life (Appraisal)

My first job appraisal was really funny indeed..lols. Let me share with you snd make it your day.

I was only graduated from high school and was so lucky to get employed by bank. One day,  my branch manager summoned me to her office. I was anxious while approaching to her room because I could deduce I must have gotten a complaint from customer again. This was not the first time I went into her room anyway since my six months career in the bank. The feeling was so deja vu. I used to summon by my school principal in the past, the same feeling I had when I walked to the principal room. 

I knocked on her door and had a "calming" look at her. I got mentally prepared with the lecture. She told me to take a seat. I was thinking, she usually lectured me while I was standing. This time, I was been offered a seat. "This time must be very long lecture" I thought. She was flipping some papers and said to me: "I shall give you an appraisal". I cracked a smile, a smile as if I struck a lottery. You would never guess why I was so happy to have appraisal because I mistook "A praise". my mind started to think wild and kept recapping which customer whom I served so well till he or she complimented me, as such I got "a praise" from my branch manager. My smile was still "fixed" on my face. My manager lifted up her head and asked me in a stern tone: "Why you are so happy doing appraisal". 

I replied her: "because you want to praise me, can you let me know which customer gave the compliment to me? Can I take a look on the compliment letter?". I began to grin from ear to ear. Her look was so stunned that made me puzzled why she found it hard to praise me. Suddenly she broke up in laughter, so loud that my colleagues started to peek in the room through a window in the door. She handed the papers she was reading when my mind ran wild. The form stated "Yearly appraisal exercise". 

I gave her a pretty lost look. She changed the appraisal into another term which I could easily understand. "You received report book in school yearly?, she asked. I nodded my head. She continued "Now I am like your form teacher telling you the grade and performance you had with us". 

My heart began to beat from "soothing music to pop music". Anyway, she still leniently gave me a satisfactory grade. I was pretty grateful to her kindness.

Do you just laugh? So perhaps smile abit....hehe...maybe not so funny to you. I shall keep up to let you know more of me.

Lets jiayou : )

Funny moments in my working life (Parrot)

I started working full time in a permanent job in the bank at the age of eighteen. It was a immediate switch from high school to office clerk. I was pretty immature in thinking and always caused troubles to my immediate superior. It was kind of her that she did not ask me to leave the bank..lols. I met all kind of customers, as mentioned in my first blog, I was not very fluent or strong in English. I remembered that was one caller spoken to me in a strong English accent. In order to ensure my understanding of his questions to me, I repeated his questions in every words and asked him was I correct. He was patiently replied me it was correct and I answered his question. However, he asked many questions following by my "to and fro" repeats, he was no longer replied me that my answer was correct. Our last conversation was like this:
Him: Are you a parrot?
Me repeated his question: Am I a parrot?
After "registering" the question to my brain, I replied: No Sir, I am not a parrot
Him in a annoying tone: then STOP repeating my questions and just answer them, can you?
Me in timid tone: Yes Sir.
I began to cover my mouth when he finished his sentence so I wouldn't automatically repeat his questions and listened very carefully to him.

I realised after I hanged up the call. I was indeed too lazy to listen in the past and always sought for affirmation. If not him who "corrected" my habit, I wouldn't be learning to listen to others.

Instead I got saddened by him yelling at me, I should be thankful to him for giving me a wake up call.

Whenever I told my friends about that incident, they will take it as a joke. But I want to pass the message to everyone, we gonna listen rather than speak up our thoughts to the latter who wants to pass the proper message across.

I am jiayou-ing to listen so do you. Let's jiayou!

We shouldn't overlook our five senses

If we happened to see a beggar walking around with his dirty stinky clothing, suddenly he fell down. What is your first reaction? To help him to stand up and see whether he is injured? Or simply leave him alone and continue to observe whether he can still be able to stand up himself? I am the latter because my thought had overcome the five senses and prohibited me to help the beggar. What am I saying so? Lets put replace the main subject, if I happened to see an old auntie with her neat outfit in the same scenario, I would certainly react immediately to help her. Do you get it? I am judging based on my thought to determine whether should I help, the beggar is stinky so will helping him will stain my hands.

Seriously thinking, I am more worst off than the beggar. I think the beggar will help anyone if he sees one needs help without selfish thought. For instance, when we feel pain, see a doctor and hear the nurse whispering to the doctor with the medical report. Frankly speaking, what is your first reaction? I will "exaggerate" the degree of my pain with my thinking that I may have diagnosed with serious illness. Actually the pain is bearable at the start, but seeing the "secret interaction" between the doctor and nurse. This was the real reaction from me, my stomach seemed to be more painful than it was after seeing scene, I was panicked and worried of the medical bills already. After the a few minutes, the nurse went out of the room. Guess what the doctor told me? "Let me take a look at your report". My panicky and worry immediately converted to puzzled impression....negative thought just flow.."is he trying to hide my terrible illness from me". The doctor took up the report and said to me: "Your result is negative". I was thinking "What! Negative?", this is the first time hearing "Negative" during my medical consultation, this word seem pretty bad to me. I began to ask the doctor, holding my tears, how serious my illness is? He reverted to me in his blank look: "You are fine, you could be having indigestion, let me prescribe some painkillers and digestive pills to stop the pain"...lols...due to my illogical thought, I made my adrenaline flow to my spine more than one, luckily I did not have heart attack then.

Somehow, we have forgotten to use our five senses normally in our daily life. Take my case as an example, I should just see without thought. There is nothing to think in that situation. Unless I hear the doctor told me that my condition required attention, then I need to think. We tend to think a lot, and mistake it using our five sense.

So if you saw someone giving you a nasty look, take your thought out. Unless the latter told you she was unhappy with you. Otherwise, why bother to think of it. There is so many things to think in our life. Remembering the 3P? We still need to plan, practise and progress. For instance, before I went out to do grocery, I plan what I want to buy, I shall practise my computation to determine affordability at two supermarkets then I will progress to determine which item I should buy at each supermarket to shorten my time in my grocery trip...haha.


You have a nice day ahead and jiayou in whatever you do : )
