~The Mirage of Cubicle~



GOING TO THE TOILET IS LIKE MAKING A BIG BUSINESS. URINE IS THE TIME WHERE YOU SIGN A CONTRACT, AND THE “BIG ONE” IS THE TIME WHERE YOU EXECUTE THE PROJECT. BUT BARE IN MIND, VENUE IS STILL THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER.

It has been two months since I started my training in this company, and it has been so many times since I went to the bathroom to “sign a contract” and “executing the program”. But nonetheless, venue is still very important, the cleanliness, the smell, the view and the decoration.

In the gents itself, they have five cubical prepared for men to deliver their “product”, and I definitely had tried executing in all of them before, since I am a big eater, therefore, gents is still an important place for relaxation before executing the real quality work in the office.

Trying it one by one, day by day and moths takes a hard work because there weren’t really time for me to actually do all these unless it is 100% urgent. Therefore, appreciate on what I did and stop with the EWWWWW thing that you might be thinking on your mind right now.

Throughout all the hard work and process, I found out that the fourth cubical is still not bad, at least it is clean and at least they have water sprayer for those who doesn’t really want to dirty their hands and after that continuing with their work. Imagine working in an international company with this kind of presentation, filthy hands, how would others portray you as?

But the weird part would be the sprayer would have a “squirky” sound, where it “squirks” every time you pressed it and it gets quite annoying because people would know that there would be somebody having their unplanned program executed. But since that the door is closed, they would never know who is behind it, just like a criminal putting a time bomb behind these toilets, as the outcome and effect of the program executed really did make an impact.

My advice for those who needs a place to execute their project would be, plan first on the venue, where to go, how to do it, and of course “when to do it” would sounds a little weird, as it comes like the wind, at the same time, it goes as wind does.

Caution: please remember to keep yourself clean all the time, and wash your hands before you do something else. (This is a Public Service Announcement from EU to YOU!!)

The Dark Light

DAYLIGHT – A THING THAT DOESN’T SHINES FOREVER. MIGHT BE COVERED BY CLOUDS, MIGHT BE COVERED BY MIST; WHEN IT SHINES THROUGH, IT IS THE BRIGHTEST AND MOST WONDERFUL THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN, AS EVEN THE DARKEST NIGHT, WOULD BE BRIGHTENED UP BY THE FULLEST MOON AND SHINIEST STARS…

This world has only two things that could happen towards human being, the expected and the unexpected. By expecting something to happen, it might be good as preparation can be made, it might be bad as the preparation made wasn’t enough or it went towards the wrong direction. The unexpected, is to deal with the senses, by acting impromptu towards situation, and this are the things that might happen to a person.

It was a sunny afternoon as I was still working in front of my computer in the office and a message by a friend came by, informing me that somebody who was close to me, is ought to leave me behind. There were words behind this that brought us together, being the future entrepreneurs together, going through the hard times together, and getting to know each other’s partners would be the closest thing ever.

Just a single phrase, “I’ll be leaving”, and the sky turned dark, rain drops started falling off from the sky, as if it knows how I was feeling like. Imagine working while suddenly struck by this feeling, concentrations would definitely be gone, and everything turned into a mess. Nothing goes right, everything goes wrong.

This might not be the first time, but why did it happened the second time, the third time, again and again, just like a life cycle. Every level of living has its own obstacle, but didn’t know that it came this quickly, and passed this slowly, a total upside down from what a fairytale tells us since we were young, that only the good will live happily ever after and the evil ones will suffer. Does this means that I am evil? Nobody knows.

Maybe this is another challenge of life for me to face and for him to face; maybe we weren’t fated to know each other at all, as it is the chance that let us meet up, but just for a short moment; maybe somebody was right, that this still isn’t the right buddy-ship for me; or maybe, we were just fated to face so. Life is incredible isn’t it?

There are so many “maybe” in this phrase, as this “maybe” might be the choice of life for a better future, for a better understanding of each other, for a better us. All I can do now, is to wish him all his best, thank you for everything and apologize for all the wronged I’ve made. Wishing you good luck and will always stay behind your back to support you no matter what, my dearest bro! (And thank you for accompanying me to see the doc, it wasn’t a really nice memory though, but it was definitely a great story to remember and to be told).

~Weekend OFF!~

THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES ON WHAT TO DO DURING THE WEEKENDS. HANGING OUT, SLEEPING, EATING, DRINKING, AND ETC. WHAT DO EU DO IN THE WEEKENDS?

Weekends are great day to hang out and meet up with friends, to get in touch with friends, getting to know more friends and of course, to spend time with family members. Everything packed just within 2 days out of the 7 days a week, due to a 5 busy weekdays, therefore, only 2 days of fun and relaxation to have, and so to appreciate it.

But how do I appreciate weekends? The magic word is SLEEP. Sleep throughout the weekends due to tiring weekdays. Imagine if a person could sleep from Friday night till Sunday night? That is what I could do since I started working, cutting down my time on socializing. Maybe technology is the thing that keeps me socializing with my friends around me.

In other words, missing my college life, where we get to meet friends all day long, getting into a human touch between people, which might make a relationship out of it, and of course, skipping class would one of the most important things to do, just for the sake of having fun. Think about it; have Eu ever heard about skipping work? Unless if leave is applied or Medical Certificate as a proof.

Therefore, cherish every moment you have with everyone, and please stop sleeping throughout the weekends, it will make you look fatter (which had happened to me, thanks to Kenny, Wallace, Arwen, Jeff and Lee Lian for informing me about this), and if by socializing would make a person look slimmer, definitely changes in lifestyle would be in my schedule.

Therefore, Sleep in an appropriate amount, and not to reenergize your whole week just for more upcoming work, as working is not the only thing of a human being, as FUN is always the word in the dictionary before WORK comes.

LIVE LIFE & APPRECIATE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!

FRIENDSHIP… a Word Not to be Taken for Granted~

PEOPLE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT FRIENDSHIP LAST FOREVER, BUT WILL IT HAPPEN? ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAD FOUGHT FOR IT WOULD KNOW.

Friendship doesn’t last forever, friends come, friends go, and this is the time where you find more friends to fill up the emptiness in the heart. Therefore, appreciating friends will be the best thing a person could do, and by fighting for it, life would never be better, as people would know, that they are the ones that they are fighting for, effort shows love.

Loving your friends will definitely be different from loving your lover, your family or someone else, as friends are the booster to all these. Hanging out with friends, chatting with friends, joking around with friends, borrowing a shoulder for friends, are the warmest thing that could be found between humans, and this is the cause of a better relationship, a better future, and an unforgettable memory amongst people who appreciate each other, till death brings everyone apart.




























Life without Eu = Colourless

-Walking into the Corporate-



CORPORATES WORK LIKE ROBOTS. THEREFORE, JUST DO ON WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO. THIS IS THE WAY CORPORATES ARE MADE FOR…

Many people think that being a corporate is fun, especially for people around my age, for those who are in their 20s or younger. This is our dream, to work for our next life, to earn more money and therefore could buy a car, a house, and travel the whole world without fear.

But bear in mind, being in the corporate field is not easy. Wake up for work from morning till evening, have your dinner, watch some television, and there you go, sleep through the night and the routine starts again. Boring isn’t it?

Every field of corporate had their own stories, and this is my story. Working in a PR company for my industrial training. As usual, waking up early in the morning and work till evening, had my dinner and go to sleep. The normal routine by a corporate who sits in the office, waiting to gain weight from foods and drinks. But the thing that is different here is, we deal with different people, with different mind, with different attitude, and with people who conquer the world… the media.

Understanding the media at the first place wasn’t easy as their schedules are busy every single day, therefore bare in mind about something, work with them instead of working for them. Get to know them well rather than waiting all day long for the right time to talk to them, because they are the main people in our field to spread the message, our love to the world.

Events, a word everybody would love, which would also be a part of out job. Having events are fun, as preparing for the event itself could be hectic, during the event itself would usually be a total disaster, but at the end of the event, you would feel proud of what you had done, as it might not be the on your expectation, but that is the result that you would get by forking out that much.

Sleepless nights, hectic schedule, last minute changes, and night trial run are part of an event, life wouldn’t be easy as everything is done last minute, getting back home in the early morning, unpack, bath, pack and there you go, preparing for the execution of that event. Life might be tough, but the toughness will be the experience that no one else would have.

Imagine telling this to others during dinner night, other than telling that you sit in the office from day till night, there would definitely be something interesting going on within you to tell others, something more exciting, something that might bring Goosebumps towards others, or might be something sadistic, which would touch into a human’s heart.


Love what Eu Do and Do what Eu Love,
No Regrets would ever Lie…


~Every Different Hour Could be Different to Every Person~

EVERY SINGLE MINUTE, EVERY SINGLE SECOND COULD CHANGE A PERSON’S LIFE, BUT JUST WITHIN AN HOUR ITSELF, HOW MUCH COULD IT CHANGE?

Taking the public transport every single day, driving through the same path every single minute, seeing the same thing on and off, but things could be different at all times. Different people, different surrounding, and a different footstep.

Looking through the window every single morning, things might look the same, but different things might come by, maybe something new, maybe something fresh or maybe something old. I’ve seen so much through this journey of the LRT (Light Rail Transit).

Seeing faces that might look the same to you every single day, but there would also be fresh faces every single day. Looking on how people react on the train, reading, studying, staring, thinking, dreaming, sleeping, frustrating, and love would definitely be found, just within this small place.

But what had caught my interest was the behavior of humans. Humans can be kind at place, with gentlemen around, offering seats for the seniors, by giving more space for others to depart at the same time during peak hours, therefore nobody would be late for work, and by time appreciating, would there be more knowledge from reading, regardless through newspaper, through phone or even books.

But definitely not all would react the same way as others do. There would still be some ignorant people, pushing through people, just to get to a more comfortable place for themselves. Aren’t this activity called selfishness. Everyone paid the same amount of money, everyone is rushing to work, and if everyone could all cram together, why can’t that person do so. Just because of a person, the whole coach turned miserable.

Life has never been the same since a take of the train, as also a part of saving the environment to reduce less energy usage, for our own benefit, and for our Mother Nature’s anger towards the earth. Mother Nature had been with us since the starting of our live, giving birth to every single child on this earth, preparing food for our good and also a comfortable place for us to live on.

Maybe humans are still at the age of growing, not to care for this mother’s feeling, boycott would be the word for it, therefore, it is time for us to grow mature, by saving her, giving her another chance, telling her that we are changing, for her sake and for our own good.

Taking the public transport has its own reason, with lots of things to learn, lots of new faces, and with lots of new friends. Why not change a little? As you might see this world with different people, different attitude, different faces, and with different colours, added into your life.

An Evening Coffee~~~

AN AROMA OF COFFEE, SWIFTING AROUND THE AIR, CAPTURING PEOPLE'S ATTENTION TO STOP AND STARE, AND WALKED WITH THE AIR, HOPING TO LIGHTEN UP THE DAY WITH AN AFFAIR... WITH A CUP OF COFFEE AND THERE... AN EVENING WITH LIGHT TO SPARE...

It was a great evening, chilling around with friends in a small coffee house within the busy city, named Typica. Finding a place to sit wasn't the hardest part, but choosing the right coffee for the day was certainly a great challenge.

Coffee contains caffein that would make people regenerated all day long, that is why a cup of coffee in the morning, keeps Eu awake for the upcoming. But it was an evening, and as a coffee lover, definitely a Brazillian Black Coffee would suit my taste.

The first taste of the coffee was very bitter (even until i asked for sugar, but they recommended to dip the cookie into the coffee because sugar will make the coffee turned sour, and that cookie tasted awesome as it was handmade), but after a few more sips into the mouth, made the coffee tasted better.

I put down the cup of coffee, and wanted a rest for a while as it was bitter, and here comes the mysterious part of it. The aroma swayed around the mouth, into your senses and then into your nerves. That was the time it tasted so sweet as if you would want another cup of it.

With cakes and cookies as the side dish, it was definitely an afternoon to be relax, ditching the hectic city.


































Every Sweat by These Coffee Makers are Worth a Test by these Coffee Drinkers...


But,

A Great Cup of Coffee With Eu, Will Walk Through The Day For Eu...

~Another Birthday For Eu~

GOING THROUGH BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR ISN'T EASY. PEOPLE GROWING OLDER, BUT THIS IS THE FACT OF LIFE AND THEREFORE, PEOPLE CELEBRATE FOR IT RATHER THAN GROWNING ABOUT IT, WHICH IS WHY IT WAS KNOWN AS A BIRTHDAY...

































Happy Birthday Lian...

Hope You Had A Great Birthday!!

IMAGINE ON HOW MUCH MALE WOULD WANT THEIR REPUTATION TO BE PROTECTED MORE THAN WOMEN? BUT DON’T SAY ANYTHING, BECAUSE WOMEN NEED IT AS MUCH AS MEN DO...

Humans like to build up their reputation so much, within family, within friends, within the community and also the society. Everyone does it because it is within us, only when time comes, people would put down their reputation to do things for themselves, especially during hard times, just to save their tummy, just to save their family, just to save their closest friends and etc.

Life isn’t an easy thing to walk through. Each and every morning, wearing men’s high heels to work, taking the bus down to the Light Rail Transit station, packed with people and it was definitely the worst thing ever, cram in the train. People can be pushing around, squashing around, but that is the fact of life when we would choose to take the public transport during peak hours.

But there is something more interesting in the train where people would be standing line by line, and I found out that most of the time, 80 percent of the people who take the public transport are female. Does this mean that male does not really like to take public transport just because it is cram? It is still the same on the road where it would be a massive traffic jam even on the highways.

By having a car and a house shows a power of a men, isn’t it? But this goes to women also, when women owns a car and a house, it would bring a higher standard to them, as they rather to face the massive traffic jam than taking the public transports.

I’m not saying that people who take the public transports have a low reputation, but rather they might have a reason on doing so, such as avoiding traffic jams just to sleep more, some of them might be environmentalist, just to save the environment therefore carpooling, use public transports, and of course, to save money on paying road taxes, car taxes, this and that, as it saves a lot and it could be used during financial crisis.

Although there might be different view in this but there is something nice about public transport that I like, which would be the word “observation”. We observe on what people do, and therefore, I write about it and post it here.

There was something that had been freaking me out that day in the LRT. There was a woman, who looks 100 percent like the witch from Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, and even her actions are the same and she is spooking me out, as I could feel the black aura from her, maybe it is because of the cartoon, that is why kids, stop watching too much of cartoons, or maybe it was because of her black shirt. She had her tudung (a malay scarf) which was black in colour, she had big eyes, her skins are full with wrinkles, and at first, we thought it was alright because she is an aged person.

Who knows, a lady let her sit and she sat down with a smile on her face, but to me, it looks evil, and I still don’t get it until I’ve seen this. She reached her station and she stood up. A kid who was sitting beside her was playing and hit the chair she left, and she gave that expression, the spooky expression, as dark clouds could be seen around her, with her big eyes, and altogether, ( I was standing right in front of her and I saw her eyes), she was definitely the witch in the cartoon.

Hairs around my body (please… do not even use your imagination for this phrase) stood up, and it was one of the spookiest thing I’ve ever seen. As things could go interesting in the LRT, I think that I would be enjoying the coming two months of ride in the LRT until I finish my training. Therefore, stop blaming the public transports as they are bringing pros to us rather than only cons.
