Are you working in a war zone?

Work environment is equal to a war zone. Today globalization has brought us to fight in this no borderless war zone. A lot of us actually felt what the picture i posted.

There are lots of ups and downs in our working life. It's a matter of time on how you will minimized your downs and maximized your ups. So don't feel sad or disappointed when you are in the downs. It is more important to strategize on how to bring yourself up again to fight in the war zone. Always remember, thie decision of the change on yourself is own hand.

Try to make use of environment /resources to make the change you wanna it to be... I'm planning to make a change too... hehehe... :->

5 stages of No Internet Access

I'm in Starbuck checking my mail. I planned to finish my compilation of the list from reviewing all the software during my F2F @ Pudong, Shanghai. I could not finish my work thanks to Streamyx.

I called the Streamyx customer care this morning. I was so pissed off as it also happened when i came back from Business Trip... *sigh*. Anyway, my brother in law has reset my modem then we lost the ADSL line. Let's see how the Streamyx worked to close this tomorrow.

I'm not like what the comics shown... hehehe... i only have 1 stage which i will make a compliant and scold the Streamyx (Internet Provider). So do you go through the 5 stages shown in the comic below when there is no access to the internet? I like the 3 one which i.e. Bargaining.. :-p

Interesting Experience in Shanghai

I will be flying back to Malaysia this afternoon. Just checked out from the hotel. Waiting for my collagues to do the same. The hotel actually provided free Wi-Fi connection @ the lobby :->

I have an enjoyable week @ Shanghai even though a very busy schedule on my F2F meeting. The Shanghai office working hours is strictly 8am-5pm as the shanghai employees will not stay late in the office as they are travelling using the office shutters services. So, this gave us some time to wondered around Shanghai... hehehe... I went to Shanghai most popular shopping street.. i.e. Nan Jing Road. The lighting and decoration was very impressed with full of high and medium class shopping mall along the road. BTW, thousand of peoples are walking on this street daily. So of cause, there were lots of cute ladies and guys too. FYI, Shanghai has the most younger population among the cities in China.

"Cheapo! Cheapo! Looku! Looku!" is the local famous English to try to sell the Rolex Watch, Gucci Beg etc to the tourist. They followed us to pursuade us to buy something from them. BTW, they also trying to sell services too... I believe you get what i meant... :-> Some ladies and guys were trying to approach me to ask whether i need some special service from ladies. Anyway, i was curious and asked them whether there also guy's services too i.e. Service for gay. This was what they reply "YES!" and they listed down the items with the price. Sound so professional! I regreted to ask more information as this guy was following me form one end to another end. He was trying to pursuade me to take up the package. Fortunately, there was a policeman which chased him away... what a relief!.... :-> Hey, don't put me wrong. I'm not into any form of one nite stand from the street... it was so dangerous especially in a stranger place.

More Picture coming soon on Shanghai, stay tune eh! :->

Resume my gym workout

Finally, I have a nice 1.5hrs workout @ the hotel gym yesterday. I planned to go to Fitness First Plaza 66. The total travel time from PuDong to will take about 1 hour+. I decided to stayed in the hotel gym.

The hotel gym is nice and cosy with the latest Techogym equipment. The x-trainer come with duel functionality touch screen and display. You could setup your workout setting like what we did in Fitness First back in Malaysia. The only different is the functionality is embbedded in a touch screen electronic display. After you finished setting up, you could minimized the touch screen and watch TV. The feature is awesome!

I had the whole gym by myself and have a good workout on the free weight too. Still thinking to pay a visit to FF @ Plaza 66 tomorrow after work. :-p

First day working from Pudong Shanghai

Reached Pudong office on 0745. Met my collagues whom i conference with them for months but never have F2F before. Quite a tired day as we had reviewed near to 20-30s applications. I had 100% focus as i need to write summary to my management.

Anyway, my colleague and i had a nice dinner @ the hotel that we stayed. This restaurant is a modern theme restaurant which consider one of the expensive restaurant in Shanghai. Guess how much i spent for my dinner (per person since we separate the bill) ... Dinner includes Japanese and Typical Shanghai crusine with Beer...

a. RMB 133

b. RMB 450

c. RMB 612

d. RMB 1000

Hehehe... made a guess and i will provide you the answer tomorrow... :->

BTW, my colleague and i walked about 5km in total from our hotel to Pudong business area and the oriental TV towel + the riverside. It was a good exercise and the view was refreshing. Visit my photo album for Shanghai visit.
