This Christmas had been so wonderful and meaningful..I went to church consecutively 3 days in a row..busy yet joyful..

圣诞经典诗歌分享会-23.12.2006

如往年一样,教会诗班必会负责及呈献一个圣诞节目..今年所选的诗歌并不容易唱.而且自己因为考试的原因而缺席了好几次的练习..但是因着神的恩典,自己还能勉强参与献唱..

今年教会的圣诞布置是采用了白色圣诞为主题..不得不称赞恩信弟兄..每一年的构思都富有创意感..而且年年都亲力亲为..愿神赐福於他..

平安夜-24.12.2006

今年平安夜适奉主日..教会也举行了圣洗礼..感谢神,小组里有两位姐妹接受洗礼..每位组员都非常开心..

今年小组也搞了一个小型的报佳音团队,到了3户家庭去报佳音...很热闹也蛮有意义的..最后一站在CK家,来个圣诞倒数BBQ派对..大家玩的不亦而乐乎..

我与家人到访了两位教会会友的家..然后就到了我老板的家..今年有幸被邀请出席..所以必须赏脸..嘻嘻..让父母亲认识一下我的"米饭班主"..

晚上,父亲请吃圣诞大餐..哇! 又是吃,吃,吃..

今年自己做了小小的爱心盒子,装了礼物,送给几位要好的朋友..自己也收了少许的礼物..请过目. :p

2D1N at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa

This weekend, I had the privilege to join the Company Senior Management meeting at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa, Cyberjaya..a very beautiful resort..highly recommended by GM..he said, "Once you are there, you are in a different world!"..he decided to take me along for 2 reasons..a) to take minutes b) to prove to me that his statement is true..

I was having some tough time booking for meeting room and guest room..as the resort was fully booked and the meeting room charges was kinda expensive..Furthermore, only 4 of us (GM, Senior Sales manager, Senior Finance manager and a small 'kay lei fei'-me), so additional room rental will be imposed...I managed to get one guest room, and bad news is-I don't get to stay there..a lil' disappointed..but never mind ler..

On Sat, I woke up quite early because I wanted to leave Klang earlier, just in case I lost my way, I still have the time buffer to find my way and not to be late for meeting..but then, I underestimated my sense of direction..I actually managed to find the place in such a short time..Thank God for that..

The meeting started from 9am-5pm, with 2 coffee breaks and 1 buffet lunch..food were good!..for sure I need to go on diet for few days after the meeting..

One thing good about the meeting was that, I get to listen to many 'P&C' news and information, to learn from managers how to run a company, how to manage people and business..but of course, to be professional..I need to zip my mouth after walking out from the meeting room ler..which I believe I will..

On the first night after the meeting, one of my senior manager was kind enough to allow me to stay on her behalf..coz she stays very near to the resort, she can just drive home and come the next morning..so I need not drive all the way back to Klang..was really grateful for that and I was smart enough to bring my clothes, just in case God answered my prayer..haha..just joking..I sms sis to tell her that I will be staying over at the resort..the next thing that I knew was that Mum gave me a call.."you didn't tell me you are staying there? did you bring your clothes? who are you staying with?"..oh dear! Mum had the funny idea that I will be staying with my GM..coz I told her I am following GM for meeting this weekend..after my assurance to her that I am staying with my senior manager, who is a mother of two..then the topic closed..anyway, what makes mum think that I will stay with my GM?? sigh

GM took us for dinner at Cheras..just 4 of us and the bill came up to RM200++..wow..after the dinner, we went back to the resort and the night was still young..I followed them for a drink..

I just can't understand why all bosses like to make their staffs drink..I learnt how to drink wine from my ex-boss..and now, how to drink beer from GM..He asked me."so ai leng, how's the beer?".."well, tasted alright..acceptable.." then he laughed and said.."when i first drink beer, I asked myself..why on earth people will drink such a horrible drink..bitter..and now you said its alright..that's is very dangerous.."...haha..ended up, I drank from a half empty glass to one full glass..

Then, we had interesting chatting session..touching more on personal life..my GM is getting married next year and he shared on his love experience..he was an love expert, his friends called him Doctor Love..he had so many tactics on how to tackle girls and all of them worked well..but then, with his fiance, he said both of them didn't really go through those romantic process..the relationship just started naturally..perhaps because both are old enough and mature..understand that once a relationship started, commitment is a MUST to sustain the relationship..which I strongly agreed upon..then he asked, " ai leng, do you have a boy friend?"..err..I told him a white lie (my friend said its not white, its black..terrible him).."yeah, I do have a bf.".."then when wanan get married? can consider this place for wedding dinner or a garden wedding ler.."..then the more questions GM asked, I need to tell some nice stories already..the reason why I said yes is because I knew it will definitely save me some explainations than saying No..coz he will surely ask.."how come don't have? why?" bla bla bla..then after the meeting on the last day, GM invited the family members or spouses to join for dinner..so he asked, " is your bf joining us for dinner?".."oh no..he is not free.."..haha..the lie getting bigger and bigger..but never mind ler..juz hope that God will not punish me for this..perhaps made the lie came true..haha..day dreaming again

alright..gotta stop writing here..too tired and have to save energy to write out the minutes..ciao

Dale Carnegie-Outstanding Performance Award

Last Thursday during my 7th class, I was glad to be the winner for outstanding performance award..

Let me first briefed you guys and gals a lil' bit on how the class works each week..There are 2 sessions and both sessions require the participants to be actively involved in either giving presentation, speech or opinions for 60 seconds...and then, all participants will vote for the best performance winner..the gift is either an exclusive pen from USA or books..

For the past 6 weeks, I had been longing to win one..partly because my GM kept asking me the same question every Friday (my class os on Thursday)-"So have you win anything yet?" "make sure you win something."..kinda tension as he placed such a high hope on me..

and to tell you the truth, more often, I voted myself for each session..haha..so kiasu..

So this week, each of us were required to show the class some business skills or personal skills, which can be very useful and beneficial to others..

Initially, I wanted to teach them how to tie skarf or wear skarf in various pattern, and you can wear it to work..but of course, it would only benefit the ladies..Then, I asked my cousin to teach me some 'ikatan' that she learnt from Red Crescent..But one day before the class, as usual, the G.A. called me and doing some follow up jobs..she gave me the idea for my presentation the next day-How to fold a shirt in a nice and fast way.

I remembered my sis taught me before on this..so that night, I requested sis to teach me again but unfortunately, she herself had forgotten how..my goodness..but would like to say a BIG thank you to her coz she took the trouble to surf the net, to get into the website and learnt from there..(I went for choir practice that night)..when I got home, she shown me the tactic..and she made a confident statement-"I guaranteed you that you will win tomorrow!"..wow..

True enough, I won..however, I left the class earlier as I need to go for a Christmas celebration at 8.15pm..so I didn't get the chance to hear my name announced, to receive my award and also to give my thank you speech..while I was in the train, I sms my colleague who is my classmate also.."hey, did I win the award? I hope I win..if not, who is the winner?"..30 mins later, he called me.." hey, why did you go back earlier? congratulations, you won the award!"..."true or not?".."true ler.."..hehe...what a funny gal I am...initially so confident, then when the news came, have doubt pulak..haha..

The winner of each class has to give a T.O.U.T speech..T=Thank You; O=Others; U=Usage; T=Thank You again..so Here goes my speech

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for your votes..and was really happy that what I taught today was beneficial to you. I also want to thank my sister for her great help, my GM for his constant 'reminder'..I think I will use this pen when I am taking down meetings minutes..Once again, thank you to everyone!

Will show you all the picture of my award next week..

Christmas Decoration @ Midvalley-11.12.2006

It was public holiday, Sultan Selangor's birthday..Sis and I decided to go Christmas shopping at Midvalley..coz friend told me that the deco there was beautiful..furthermore, we had free meal vouchers to San Francisco Steakhouse..so kill 2 birds with 1 stone.. Last year, the Christmas deco was based on White Christmas..this year, even more colorful and attractive..hard work and efforts done by the management..bravo!
I bought a Reebok bag, 50% discount..so I can carry it to Cambodia during month end..didn't manage to shop on clothes..budget tight..haha..oh, not forgetting those Christmas gifts, to be given to friends..so if you are reading this blog, let me know..then you will be in my Christmas list..first come first served..ho ho ho

A fun time

haha..yesterday Dale Carnegie class was so much fun..All 21 students were divided into 4 groups..each group had to come out with a group name, costume and cheers..I was in the same group wih 3 gentlemen-Meor, Zul and Afiq..and Meor suggested that we will be wearing construction worker costume..he has a collections of it, fully equipped with the neccessary equipments (hammer, spanar, rope, helmet etc)..our group name is SYNERGY and he also came out with the cheers

hup 2,3,4
everywhere we go, people want to know
One mile-no sweat
Two mile-better yet
Three mile-just for fun
Four mile-let's go
We can go-to the goal
We can run-to the sun
We train-for the gain
hup 2,3,4
everywhere we go, people want to know
who we are?
we are the SYNERGY

Yesterday, everyone of us were really crazy..the trainer made us shout and cheers..my goodness..I was enjoying myself very much..however, don't think I will act/behave in the same way after the class..its too crazy..and today I lost my voice..furthermore, tonight has choir presentation for church Mission Conference..sigh
