man at work 2

it was on Sunday (last week) guys! i went to the office to collect a few documents to be brought home. i forgot my baseball cap actually and i didn't comb my hair at that time.

man at work

it's me at my workplace (click on the image for larger photo). well...i have more photos of myself that i would upload next week. i'm having a bad fever and it has been hunting me on and off lately. i went to JB last week and the experience that i had there was hillarious! by the way, i received a lot of questions from someone who only wants to be known as Deena and she posted the questions to my 2nd personal blog at www.....com last week. i will reveal my answers to her questions soon. to Deena, thanks for the questions and the answers i've given to you are the most sincere answers ever! till then.....

who cares anyway!

my close friends told me that i am completely a different person in my blog compare to when they hang out with me in real life. sorry guys! i'm just a human being and an ordinary person. the different thing is when some people choose to be more outspoken by expressing their feelings and views directly in real life, i've decided to keep some of my feelings and views in my blog rather than expressing them publicly. at times, i can be considered as a shy guy and i like to keep some personal issues to myself. i've decided not to be too "direct" because i don't wanna hurt anybody's feeling. but as a human being, if i see something wrong is going on or is happening around me, i can't stop thinking about it and will start searching for a better place to express my personal views. and my blog is the best place to do it, i guess. by the way, to my friend Ashraf (www.ashrafsinclair.blogspot.com), i received a missed call from you last week but when i tried to call you back, apasal asyik tak dapat. hehehe....busy kot!

till then....keep your feet on the ground guys! sleep tight!

every man for himself

hi again,

this morning before my brother left for work, he advised me not to work so hard and not to stay in the office until 11 pm everyday. he told me that he's worried that someday my body could not cope up with the burden and i might get serious illness. i told him that there's nothing much i can do at home. it would be the same old situation day in and day out. but i thanked him for the advice and i told him that i would slow down a bit from time to time. to tell you guys the truth, i consider myself as a workaholic person. i love my job and i am so fortunate to have so many good colleagues and bosses around me. in fact...i have so many things that need to be completed as soon as possible. my managers need my help and guidance and i've gotta be there when they need me the most.

last week i was in Johor Bahru for 3 days and tomorrow i'll be going to Jusco Melaka in conjunction with the JCard day event. my General Manager has instructed me to visit JB at least once a month. so now i have two stores that need to be visited every month. The stores are Jusco Queensbay Mall in Penang and Jusco Tebrau City in Johor. and of course the stores within Klang Valley are my main priority. thank God! i love my job so much! to my GM, sit back and relax cause i won't let you down!

before i log off... to Malay youngsters, listen up! i have no objection if you guys wanna party all nite long but stay away from drugs, alcohol, pre-marital sex and stupid "rokok"! aren't you guys bored of being followers? i have to admit that i was a regular clubber 12 years ago but i've never done all those stupid activities. not many people know that i was a regular customer at almost all famous discos/clubs in KL and PJ (and i'm not proud to say this), but i managed to control myself. bukan nak kata i ni baik sangat tapi alhamdulillah setakat ni 15 dosa besar tu i tak pernah buat dan insyaallah tak akan buat sampai mati. nak tergelak tengok sesetengah orang Melayu yang asal masuk disco je mesti nak minum sampai mabuk. rokok pulak kalau tak habis 5 kotak satu malam tak sah! lepas tu check-in hotel dan puaskan nafsu kuda masing masing! semua nak jadi Mat Salleh sangat! Mat Salleh pun kadang kadang tak macam Melayu kita. macam lah happening sangat benda benda tu semua! bosan bosan! kalau menari je cukuplah. dulu i masuk disco pun pasal nak dengar lagu dan menari je. not more than that.

last of all....no hard feelings guys! keep up the good work and have a nice shopping day! hehehe....

Kazunori Wakayama

i'm not feeling very well today. i left the office quite early at 8.30 pm (i'm so used to leaving the office at 11 pm, so it's kinda weird for me). it's a high time to see a doctor, i guess. according to the doctor, my blood pressure is ok. but i need to come back tomorrow for further treatment.

by the way, let's talk about my boss cum senior manager cum the coolest guy in my office. he is none other than Mr. Kazunori Wakayama or fondly known as Wakayama san. some people prefer the hard way in managing people but he is totally different. he treats all of us nicely and fairly. he's down to earth kind of person and very approachable too. what makes him a great leader is he knows his limit. in other words, as long as you do not cross the boundary, everything will be fine. i can safely say that he is 90% like me in terms of managing people. i like the cool and organize way. i hate the "kelam kabut" and dictatorship kind of management. i always believe that if there is a will, there is a way. a leader who thinks that by screaming at others, people will respect you, is a leader who is as stupid as donkey. we can express our anger to our staff but find a hidden place to do it. if there's no one around you, do not hesitate to raise your voice to the max. but make sure you don't go overboard! and do not get angry too often. it's not good for your health! haha..

to my boss, Wakayama san, you are undoubtedly one of the best leaders i ever worked with. if someday i have to leave Jusco for other company, i will always respect and honor you for the rest of my life. till then...

dear secret

dear bloggers,

i just came back from my sister's wedding in Ipoh. it was a fun, memorable and happening event ever! by the way, photo Dian Sastro kat atas tu have nothing to do with today's agenda. on my way back to KL, i've been thinking about so many things. more about my life actually. i need to revive myself. it's now or never. i have promised myself that i will be a better person this year. so i will stick to my plan and strive hard to achieve my personal resolutions. by the way...i had launched my new blog last week and to my surprise, banyak banget soalan tentang Monalisa Mochtar ditanyain oleh temen temen. hahaha....some of them are curious about the status of our relationship. well..to tell you guys the truth, we used to have a special relationship before, but after few considerations, we have decided to put our relationship on hold. it's more like - wait and see kind of situation. it's the best decision both of us ever made. there's no quarrel, argument whatsoever. in other words, at the moment, i am very much a single person. however, we really care about each other. she's the closest friend i ever had. if she's destined to be my soulmate, i promise her that i will be the best person she ever met and will take care of her until the last breath of my life. but if fate tells us that we're not meant for each other, i will be her best friend for the rest of my life. i hope this explanation will eliminate any doubts among my close friends out there. i have to log off now. till then...

i need a long holiday!

it's 9.30 pm. i just arrived in Nilai and it's still raining at the moment. i called my boss, Puan Subaidah 5 hours ago and she told me that she's holidaying in Penang for a few days. man...i need a good rest actually. a long rest! i think i deserve it. i have promised Monalisa last year that come April 2007, i will try my best to visit her in Jakarta for at least 4 days. but the only word that i gave her was "insyaallah" because based on my company's schedule this year...i don't think i will have the chance or even sufficient time to get married! hahaha...sibuk banget nih! i'm waiting for Concess Operations Manager (a newly created position) to join my department in June or July so that i can delegate some of my workloads to him/her.

anyhow, i really love my job. i can stay in the office for many hours (even until 1.30 am) or do store visit all day long. but the only problem is, as usual, petrol budget. i don't think i can visit many stores in one day. my monthly budget for petrol is RM 350. i can only visit 2 shops/stores in a day. if not....i have to increase my budget for petrol to RM 450. crazy huh! but guys! when you love what you are doing, anything is possible. gotta go now. my brother, Sham wants to use the internet connection. i need a long shower and iron my shirt for tomorrow. till then!

Taeko Motohashi

a new colleague of mine is a Japanese named Taeko Motohashi or fondly known as Hashi san. she is the Shop Training Manager in my department. she's a cute, chubby and a very polite person. well...i admire her professionalism and perseverance. one thing that i like about her is, she's a very calm person. not like some of us who always kelam kabut, sikit sikit nak melenting, perengus and bla, bla, bla....

Hashi san is a kind of person that i can work with for a very very long time. she's a fashion genius too! there are many things that i can learn from her especially when it comes to apparel and merchandise display. she reminds me of my Senior Manager, Kazunori Wakayama or Wakayama san.

he is as cool as Hashi san. both of them are very hardworking, cool and professional. two things that i admire about Japanese working culture are their passion towards job quality and also the spirit of togetherness among them. there's no gap among japanese staff and they are free to meet, chat or share any information all the time. but of course they know their limit and respect each other very much. they don't simply override, overrule whatsoever! if there are any big issues arise, they will try to solve them professionally.

back to Hashi san issue, i do not know how long i'm gonna work with Jusco (nowadays, anything is possible, right?) but i do enjoy working with her and i hope both of us can work together to meet our company's objectives. to Hashi san...thanks for everything ne!

anger management

there're two things that make me happy today. first of all, there's no more Samantha in my department and i finally managed to find and create the new format of Monthly Business Report for my managers. thanks to my General Manager, Ms. Mary Chew for the help and guidance. i received a lot of emails regarding Samantha's issue yesterday. surprisingly, 99% of the emails showed strong support to me and they even shared their personal experiences that were related to my issue. well...life has its ups and downs. and Samantha is the down part of my life. haha...

however, i received a question asking why i didn't talk to Samantha and settle this issue professionally. my answer is...dude, whoever you are, i've been talking to this evil many times before but to no avail. everytime i tried to discuss with her about any issues in a polite way, she would automatically become a "monkey" without giving me enough time to complete my explanation or question. baru nak tanya dah pot!pet!pot!pet and then she kept using the "f" word. when i told her to calm down, she would say,'' ah! aku peduli apa. aku cakap betul ma! kau tolong bagitau manager manager kau, aku nak benda ni settle secepat mungkin. i don't care how the fuck they gonna do it! "

dear readers, what would be your reaction if you're given this kind of answer by someone whose position is lower than you. c'mon! for the bad temper and hot-blooded people, sure dah sepak dah! but i managed to smile and kept cool! i talked to her nicely and asked her to be more professional when reporting any issues regarding my managers. i even advised her to lower down her voice as we're in the office at that time. orang pun dah mula banyak kat office. tak malu ke kalau orang dengar!

i still remember my manager from Seremban 2 called me up and said,'' En. Kamal, apahal Samantha tu. Cakap dengan saya macam nak gaduh je! Panggil saya pulak "kau" je. Cakap baik baik tak boleh ke?"

a week after that, another manager from One Utama said the same thing,'' Apahal Samantha tu! Cakap dengan i macam nak sound i je! Kurang ajar betul lah! Nasib baik lagi 2 minggu nak resign dah. Kalau tak i maki cukup cukup!

same goes to my manager at Jusco Cheras Selatan. he mentioned the same thing about Samantha. the only reason why they managed to control their anger is because they knew that she's going to resign soon. a week before she resigned, i did tell her to use proper words when talking to my managers. but she surprisingly answered,'' ah! aku peduli apa! kalau diaorang tak suka, nasiblah! aku nak resign dah! who the fuck cares, anyway!" i was stunned for a while! nak sound balik, kiri kanan ramai orang. masa tu macam macam benda dah keluar dalam kepala. kejap rasa nak botakkan kepala dia, kejap rasa nak mandikan dia dengan asid, kejap rasa macam nak hantukkan kepala dia dengan laptop. pendek kata...sebut je segala jenis seksaan dalam dunia ni. semua dah keluar dalam kepala masa tu.

but the only thing that make me different is (in fact, all Muslims to be exact)- as a Muslim, kita semua ada iman, betul tak? kalau tak banyak pun at least sikit. kalau Nabi boleh sabar bila orang caci maki dia dan baling dia dengan najis, sepatutnya kita kenalah contohi dia betul tak? bukan ke sabar itu separuh daripada iman. lagipun orang yang suka marah marah ni sahabat iblis. dan Samantha ni hanyalah salah satu umpan iblis nak merosakkan masa depan saya kat Jusco ni. hahaha...kesian iblis kena tipu. itulah bodoh sangat tak nak pergi sekolah. nasib baik setiap pagi saya baca ayat kursi sebelum keluar rumah. sebab tu setiap kali saya rasa nak maki Samantha je....terus tak jadi. saya cakap betul ni! dah banyak kali dah berlaku. bila nak sound je, asyik tak jadi. tiba tiba mood dah ok balik. punyalah hebat ayat Quran ni. dahlah iblis! pergi keluarkan wang KWSP la. awak tu patut dah lama pencen dah. tak serik serik ke? tak bosan ke duduk lama lama kat Bermuda Triangle tu. baik awak apply kerja dengan Jusco, lagi baik! kalau ada rezeki, boleh jadi Operations Manager macam saya, hahaha....perasan!

tak pun kerja chef kat hotel lima bintang ke. boleh belajar masak banyak makanan. saya suka nasi daging merah tau. kelas gitu, nyah! eh...masa bila aku jadi mak nyah ni! tapi pasal awak tak hensem, buruk, hodoh...ada tanduk pulak tu, baik kerja kat kandang lembu je la. boleh kawan dengan lembu. sebab lembu pun ada tanduk pendek macam awak. lagipun banyak lagi cara nak melepaskan marah ni. that's why i've decided to choose my blog as the right place to express my anger. tak salahkan? lagipun, saya ni kan manusia. mana boleh simpan marah lama lama. boleh gila wo! bila lepaskan marah kat blog ni, at least tak ada siapa lah yang tercedera kena belasah! semua orang selamat! hahaha....

well...that's all guys! let bygone be bygone! i just hope that there will be no more Samantha next time! the conclusion from my story is...i just need to be patient, that's all! tak guna marah marah ni. nanti jadi kawan Samantha ...eh, kawan iblis kang, susah pulak! relax and keep cool! eh! apasal aku guna perkataan "saya" kat atas tadi. peliknya! anyway...gudnite guys!

samantha: send this loser to North Pole , please!

all of a sudden, i detest a woman (a lunatic, crazy and a monkey in disguise) named Samantha. don't ask me who she is. thank God she already left Jusco for good. she did not report to me but she has been a complete nuisance for the past 1 month. whenever she wanted to make a complain, she would make a "monkey" noise and email to all top management in my department. her intention was noble, but the implementation was rather stupid. i apologize for being rude but have you guys ever felt of giving a hard kungfu kick to anyone before? well...if she's a man, she would definitely gonna feel the hardest kick ever!

if she had any problem with my managers, why didn't she inform me politely? did she think i would not take action because most of the managers are my ex-colleagues? and had she forgotten that all managers report to me? in other words, i have the right and authority to solve any issues...using Jusco way!! not her way. and of course i would follow all Jusco procedures.

i noticed that she always had the intention to undermine or belittle my managers. who the f**k is she? she's not even a manager? her grade is lower too. the way she complained about my managers were very rude sometimes. she always used the "f" word just to show her dissatisfaction towards my managers (over a small thing). had she forgotten to whom she was talking to? hello...i'm the Operations Manager here. so please show me some respect, ok! fortunately i managed to control my anger (eventhough i actually felt like throwing a big chair to her).

last week, this monkey made noise again. i know she was right. i admit it. but did she need to tell everybody all the time. how about sending all emails to our Managing Director or Executive Director after this? alang alang nak tunjuk bagus, baik email kat Prime Minister terus. sikit sikit nak cc email ke GM. macam budak budak! what was her real intention, actually? and again she forgot that she could always tell me or report to me about my managers. I AM A JUST LEADER. i do not simply listen to rumours or take things lightly. just report to me and your job is done! as simple as that! and of course i would take action and have a thorough investigation. it seemed like she wanted to kill my managers' career. diri sendiri pun tak bagus! nak complain lebih lebih! have a nice day in hell, loser!

samantha...i know you will never come across my blog (because you are too slow, too dumb or too racist, i guess) but do me a favor, will ya! stop being a loser and wake up! you have become an evil since last month. unfortunately i know you will continue being an evil forever! and for that, i pity you.

but someday if you wanna become an "angel", please change your attitude, be professional, respect other people and stop being a monkey, ok! because even a monkey is thousand times better than you! period.

* dear readers: sorry for being so rude this time. i guess, this blog is the only place for me to express my anger. i'm just a human being, remember?

Jakarta On The Rocks!

last nite, i had a strange dream. a dream that i sincerely hope can become a reality someday. man....it was the weirdest dream ever! rasa macam betul betul berlaku! in that dream, it started off with me, standing in a hall within KLIA, alone. all of a sudden, i realized that i was holding a flight ticket to Jakarta! i was so happy like hell! i knew that at last, i would have the chance to meet the one and only Monalisa Mochtar (the last time i met her was at Jeddah International Airport somewhere in 2005 after performing umrah). and then, out of nowhere, i heard an announcement saying," kepada penumpang penumpang penerbangan ke Jakarta, penerbangan anda akan berlepas setengah jam dari sekarang. sila tunggu di dewan pelepasan. terima kasih!"

i quickly ran to the departure hall and saw one of the officers smiled at me and asked for my flight ticket. and then i heard someone said,'' welcome aboard, sir?" to cut a long story short, i arrived at Jakarta International Airport (I didn't know the name of the airport actually), somewhere in the evening. i was so amazed when everyone was talking in the kind of language that i always love to hear ," apa om sedang menunggu seseorang? apa saya bisa bantu om?

hahaha....i was laughing all along and at the same time i was looking for Monalisa's business card, the only "map" that can bring me to her. i was planning for a surprise visit to her office, somewhere near Kwitang. all of sudden i heard someone said," Kamal, bangunlah! tak nak sembahyang Subuh ke?" i started to turn around but saw nobody behind me. and again the same voice with the same instruction appeared. but this time a bit louder. "Kamal! tak nak kerja ke? hari ni hari Isnin. jalan pagi pagi dah jam. baik bangun cepat!"

i slowly realized that it was just a dream when my big brother, Sham switched on the light and asked me to take a bath quickly as it was already 6 am. i swear to God that the dream was like a reality. i could still hear someone said," lekas om! mobilnya sudah ada. apa tungguin lagi?"

hahaha....what a dream! well...if you guys give me a free flight ticket to Disneyland, i would happily reject the offer because for me, Jakarta has something that i can hardly explain, which is so instrumental to my heart. is Monalisa my soulmate? only God knows. at the moment, i'm still a bachelor and i guess, i don't want to settle down yet. i have so many things to do this year. and of course, my parents are more important than anything else in this world. till then!

soulmate

hi survivors,

last Saturday was definitely the biggest day for my sister, NorHidayah who married her long-time boyfriend in a small ceremony in Ipoh. The "akad nikah" ceremony was held at Masjid Solatiah after Asar prayer. The big "kenduri" ceremony, however, will be held on 11th of Mac at one of the multipurpose halls within our house area. well....it's nice to have a new member in my family but at the same time, it reminds me of how fast the clock ticks, from one day to another. when i reminisced the time when my sister was a young girl, i could not hold my emotion and unintentionally burst into tears. i love my sister very much. no doubt about that. both of us have the same chemistry and get along damn well. it's nice to see her overjoyed on that very day. i pray to God that this marriage will be the first and the last for her, insyaallah! to my sister....be a good wife, jangan selalu bangun lambat lagi ya and congratulations!

King Beckham!

David Beckham has often been considered more Hollywood than soccer player. Now he'll get to be both. The most recognized player on the planet has agreed to a five-year deal to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer in the United States, turning down a two-year contract extension from Real Madrid for a chance to lift soccer's profile in the United States.
"There are so many great sports in America," the 31-year-old former England captain and Manchester United star said. "There are so many kids that play baseball, American football, basketball. But soccer is huge all around the world apart from America, so that's where I want to make a difference with the kids."

Beckham, who has failed to win any major titles in 3 1/2 seasons in Madrid, said the time was right for a change. Beckham will become the biggest star to play soccer in the United States since Pele and Franz Beckenbauer played in the now-defunct North American Soccer League in the 1970s. So to David Beckham...i don't care what other losers think about you, but you are certainly one of the best midfielders on this tiny planet. 20 years from now, soccer fans will realize, no matter what some people have said about him, there will be only one David Beckham. Whether you guys like it or not, he's already a legend..and so be it.

i'm "sexy" back!

hi all...what's the story morning glory!

it's been a while ya! man..i've been a very busy person on earth! travelling from north to south and south to north. from Penang to JB and JB to Penang and then back to KL. plus from one hotel to another. it's 2 am but i'm still strongly awake. i've been listening to My Chemical Romance and Muse lately. i hope tomorrow morning my body will be as fresh as ever.

last few weeks, i incidently met one of my idols, Azurin Aziz (http://azurin.fotopages.com) at Jusco Bukit Raja, Klang. i've been an avid reader of her fotopage actually. to tell you guys the truth, i admire the way she treats her husband and her newborn baby, Iman. she has a wonderful family and i really envy her (in a positive way, of course!). to Azurin...i wish you every success in this world and may Allah bless your family forever.

well....it's fun to have a fast-paced career now! alhamdulillah...i don't have to be in the office all the time. by the way...some of my close friends are having the toughest time in their life and i truly feel sorry for them. i hope they will be strong and face the situation positively. i know it's not easy but like the old saying goes," time will heal the pain'', i believe someday they will make a strong comeback and become better than ever, insyaallah! i had experienced that kind of "situation" many times before and alhamdulillah God had assisted me all the way until i managed to get over it. without Him...i don't think i can "survive".

so to all nice people out there.... let's bring the "sexy" back and start a brand new life together. Allah will always be with us and He will always be there when we need Him. so come on, get on! you jump, i jump... remember?

welcome to the black parade

a new designation comes with a new challenge

hi all....

today is the happiest day for me...ever! i am now officially promoted as new Operations Manager for AEON/Jusco NBD Department. alhamdulillah! first and foremost, i would like to thank Allah s.w.t for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity. secondly, i would like to thank my parents for always being there for me. God, please bless them for being ultra-kind, ultra-supportive and also ultra-parents (not ultraman). i would also like to thank Mr. Wakayama Kazunori for his trust and guidance, Puan Subaidah Sidek for her full support and kindness and last but not least, my lovely staff for working so hard to make our dreams come true. i cannot promise my bosses the moon but i can promise them my full commitment, hardwork, professionalism, good judgment plus my blood and sweat (what!!!).

now i have 10 managers reporting to me (there will be more next year) plus almost 150 staff and my responsibilities are to give them full support, sufficient and efficient training programmes, to improve leadership skills among leaders, to increase sales and profit, to develop new managers for future expansion/career growth programme and to create/improve better standard operating procedures (SOP) for my managers/staff to follow.

but one thing for sure, without the help from Allah s.w.t, those plans will easily burst into pieces. so i pray to Him to guide me and correct me all the way so that i would not be like a lonely drifter walking along an empty street. for those who have been supporting me thru good and bad times, all i can is -"thanks a million guys! you guys really awesome!"

iron lady

hi all!

this lovely woman is simply awesome! i guess she has proved something to us that women who wear headscarf can excel in sports. much has been discussed about Muslim women getting involved in sports and many wrong interpretations have come out especially from Western countries. Islam doesn't prevent women from taking part in sports competition as long as they follow the "rules". and Ruqaya Al Ghasara, a Bahrain sprinter has proved to Western people and non-believers out there that Islam is a moderate religion.

Ruqaya Al Ghasara says in an interview with BBC that she isn't held back by running in a hijab, or full Muslim headscarf. in fact, she says, it makes her even quicker. "Wearing traditional Muslim dress has encouraged me. it's not an obstacle - quite the opposite," said the iron lady who won the gold medal in the 200-metres Monday night in 23.19 seconds.

to Ruqaya, keep up the good work! you have made all Muslims proud! keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!

prepare for the worst!

hi people!

in life..at times, our worst nightmare can simply come without warning. your best mate can become your worst enemy in one second and your good boss can become an evil out of nowhere. do not be surprise if your boss doesn't walk the talk and upset you in a blink of an eye. i had that experience before and the pain is still here..deep down in my heart. i'm so fortunate that my current bosses are so understanding and very helpful. they are simply amazing!

there are bosses out there who do nothing except finding other people's faults (some of them are so busy with their laptops for hours). once captured...man! you'll be given below expectation minus! and your mistake will be remembered forever. in other words, dude, you better find a new job because you have no future here. i still remember, a few years back, when one of my best friends, backstabbed me by telling my bosses things that i believe could be solved professionally (unless, at that time, she really wanted to kill my career and trying to get rid of me). she told my bosses that my staff brought magazines and foods in that small kiosk during slow days. i was in Singapore at that time. i had no idea at all because before i left for Singapore, this kind of thing did not happen. the funny thing is, she didn't consult the issue with me personally and i was not informed of that matter until i was scolded unfairly by my bosses in meeting room and was treated like i was the most wanted criminal in this country. after all the hard works, sacrifices, blood and sweat that i've given to my beloved company, i've never thought that i'd be given that kind of treatment.

i was so mad but managed to control my anger. but only God knows how sad i was at that time. but Tuhan itu adil. a year later, when i was at Lot 10 outlet (and she was transferred to Mid Valley outlet from KLCC), GSC Mid Valley was one of my favorite places to hang out. it was my day off and as usual i wanted to watch my favorite movie at GSC. after i bought the ticket, i felt like visiting my ex staff at the kiosk. to my surprise, i saw the backstabber eating ''keropok'' in front of the POS machine and was so obsessed with the food until she didn't realize that i was standing beside her. now look who's talking! she was caught red-handed! by me! a handsome guy whom she used to backstab a year ago with the same kind of issue! haha...

she almost freaked out but managed to control herself. i smiled at her and say "hi!". after chit-chatting for a while...guess what happened right after that? she offered me the ''keropok'' and when i opened the drawer below the POS machine...mak oi! sebut je apa nak baca!
semua ada! macam macam ada!

as an Outlet Manager, she shouldn't do that! she complained about my staff a year ago but now dia pulak yang buat! to make things even funnier, everytime i went to Mid Valley after that very day, and she happened to work at kiosk, i had caught her red-handed more than 3 times! but did i take my revenge to smear her name! no way hose! i'm not that low, dirty filthy stinky idiot! i was so lucky to have so many true friends/managers who had been supporting me consistently in every angle. until now...this secret is still with me and eventhough she never asked for my forgiveness, i have decided to forgive her sincerely. but to simply forget what she had done to me, i don't think so. once bitten twice shy dude! till then....

welcome to AEON/Jusco CN and Azhar!

gorgeous Darina Albakri in Madrid, Spain


Tentang Dia


after almost 6 months working as the only ex-San Francisco Coffee staff in Jusco's NBD Department, 2 of my good friends from SFCC are now part of Jusco team. Azhar has joined this public listed company last month and the other one CN will join Azhar next week. they have the leadership skills, talent and experience that i want to support NBD team to become the best department in AEON/Jusco. my personal target is to train them to become my Area Managers in less than 2 years (insyaallah). starting 1st of January 2007, i will have 10 managers working under me and i need to make sure that all of them meet company's expectations (which i believe they can) before we open more stores next year based on the original plan. Jusco/NBD department at the same time is planning to open more than 50 outlets before 2010 and i hope this plan will succeed so that i can create better career growth within this department.

so to Azhar and CN, you guys have made the right choice. AEON/Jusco is a company that provides job security, career development, lucrative rewards and a place where you guys can work for so so so many years, insyaallah! untuk 2 orang boss saya yang sangat baik dan amat memahami, Puan Subaidah Sidek and Mr. Wakayama Kazunori, thanks for putting your trust in me and insyaallah, i won't disappoint you guys! till then...

Limp Bizkit - Nookie


hi people!

i just came back from Penang yesterday. the whole experience was superb and i've learnt many things there. i would like to thank my employer, AEON/Jusco and my boss Puan Subaidah for giving me the opportunity to take part in setting up our new store at Queensbay Mall. i'm still exhausted actually. i need a good rest now. till then....
