I have never been to a company which is so bad in their system and management. They have very lousy system which nobody follows and the reason people are not complying to it is due to the lengthy procedures. Many things can actually be simplified. For example to get to Point D from Point A, you have to pass Point A, Point B, Point C and Point D where else you can actually short cut and get the work done from Point A straight away to Point D.

Second thing I can think of it the people working in the company, which many of them are from low education level and all they love about to do is bitch about others and trying to get you. They actually trying to show whoever work longest is the company is the one who has the power and authority.

Third, to get a work done, bosses actually have to say something. This is something I don’t see in other company which I call this as teamwork among department. It is definitely the organization and the management failure to get their people work together and collaborate to achieve objectives and goals. Fun thing said is the GM himself have to get down to the floor to make the execution moving, obvious enough at my previous organization whereby the highest group of management have better things to do than to execute small tasks which their lower level of staff can execute among themselves. Everybody is just trying to protect their own piece of ass and at the end, certain objective takes longer time to achieve in matter of time.

During execution in my previous workplace, people come together when there is issue and everybody supportive of working out the project rather than pushing the blame around. Here even the managers are covering their own departments and pushing issues to each others. Tai Chi in another word I would say is a failure for this place to perform better and bring the organization to the next level.

People mindset and behaviours, ATTITUDE is the main downfall of this organization. I can see people struggling hard and everyone feel tired at the end of the day.

Recognition comes as slow and by the time they start recognizing people, subordinates have actually forget what is the recognition and the hard work is all about. This lead to bad team motivation and when you ask flavour for people on the next issue, people do hesitate.

All about this organization I can say with its policies and procedures are all crap as ever. People who work late and 24 x7, covering during midnight during execution, ended up coming to work late actually gets warning letter which makes the person doubt should they stay during an issue or should they just go back in fear of waking up late the next day.

It leads to the point should I or shouldn’t it? In matters of issue, no matter which ever road you take, when the blame comes, they will try to find a scape goat to be blame in order to survive in this organization.

To improve? I would say it will takes this organization 10 years down the road to change the culture. Nobody actually sees any future staying here, attrition rate is high, nobody is doing anything about it or trying to understand what is happening. If you leave, nobody will say good stuff about you but the amount of bad things will actually fload the whole mountain of Alps. The only thing they will say is you can’t take the pressure and trying to point any bad things or stuff you done.

To survive here is actually a difficult task to do. New employee who comes in have doubt of leaving the organization, some actually stay on due to commitment and people like me, trying to have be positive as much as I can putting in things nicer by saying I am staying here to learn, which actually the fact of stuff I am learning is the way people actually work 20 years ago. Small company I would say, politics is high and motivation is low, the only reason I am still here after a year is because of some certain reasons, some goals I make to myself and I know very much myself, one day by looking back, I will laugh and said, yeah I have been through this ridiculous crap before. I never know they exists until the day I landed here.

Frankly I do not know why government impose RM50 annual service tax on principal credit and charge cards as proposed in the 2010 budget. Maybe to them this will help citizen to prevent unnecessary spending and improvise on their money management. However this will not help to certain group of people.

People who need money for instance, emergency as such turns to credit card for help especially the lower income groups of citizen. This has prevent them from resorting to loan sharks.

Anyway as for me I have lots of credit card from the greediness of getting free gifts. Whenever I see any gifts that I like and being persuaded by the persuasive sales person, I will signed up and thinking to cancel later after I get my free gifts. Somehow another, due to my laziness and time, I did not cancel those cards and it is still with me. I didn’t use the credit card much but somehow I still keep it for any emergency usage.

With the recent government proposal, I went to cancel off 3 of my credit cards yesterday. I redeem the reward and call it off. When the customer service girl asked me to fill up the reason for my cancellation, I simply wrote: Government impose RM50 on annual service. Then the girl offered me a waiver for my RM50. To think of it, if I still keep 3 cards, that means I will have to pay RM150 if the waiver is just verbal talk and no action. So to play safe, I still go ahead with the card cancellation. After all, I don’t use that much of credit card anyway.

Running from one bank to the other actually have taken half of my day. I went to one of the bank only to realized I overpaid them RM30 last few months and not to waste away my RM30, I drove to petrol station to pump petrol and drove all the way back to the bank again. After all those hassle, I finally managed to get all my tasks complete by 5pm and now my legs are aching for running all the errands yesterday. Thinking of that I think I am lucky enough, I am not a housewife.  I really salute the housewife who drives everyday fetching their kids to one tuition to another, battling with the hot sun and traffic, paying the bills, queue at the bank for hours, and the list goes on.

On Sunday I went to Gurney Plaza to watch 3D movie. The last 3D that I watched was G-Force and that was also middle of the night that I fall asleep throughout half of the movie. However during the Sunday night GCS was so packed with people that my plan for movie night has to be call off again.

So I went for food hunting instead. Landed at this Xuan Xin Restaurant at Gurney new wing. One of the branch was at Tanjung Bungah Xuan Xin Steamboat. The steamboat kindda suxs but it was cheap for around RM25++ p/pax.

The best part of this is I was so hungry that I forgot to take picture of the food when they arrived. Somehow, I managed to get a picture of myself posting instead. Lol.

I went to PISA Home Deco last 2 weeks. Objective is to look for furniture for my new home sweet home but unfortunately the PISA Home Deco didn’t display much of furniture. It was more of kitchen renovations and stuff. At the end I bought one bathroom hanger to hang towels and it costs me RM68. Things are not cheap nowadays.

I will still continue to look for good and cheap furniture for my new home. Hunting has begin a month ago…and saving money is still in progress.

My target is to get this bedroom wardrobe, looks very classy and of course it is costly too.

Jean forwarded me this link. It’s quite hilarious because it’s funny and stupid at the same time.

Recently everyone is so particular about food and calories. I have a colleague who talks about calories all the time. She is on diet.

I haven’t hear the word dieting for a very long time. Lately this colleague of mine has been hitting gym and exercise regularly. She invited me to gym with her everyday but I don’t think I will able to make it with my hectic schedule recently.

As for her, she has lost weight around 12kg in 3 mths time. She was at 90kg at one point of time and now she is 78kg. I believe she slims down with regular exercise and the right amount of food intake. However not all human beings can do what she does though.

She eats small meals perday and she counts calories all the time.

That sorts of motivate me to go back on diet now. Going to start tomorrow. Now I am at 48kg, and with fish curry and nasi brayani down my stomach at town Karikuddi Indian food just now, I guess I am sort of 50kg now.
