If I die Tonight

If I die Tonight
How would i die??
Accident??? Sickness???
No one knows...


What would happen after if i'm gone..
What would happen in my crib??
What would be the people's reaction after hearing it
What would my friends and also the one's care for me do?


Wonder who will be informing about my death?
Wonder who will eventually dress me up
Wonder how they will dress me up... In my suit?? Like a panda's outfit??
Wonder what will happen to my car? The car which i love...
Wonder who will be sharing my things out??


Wonder who will eventually visit me in a coffin in my crib??
Wonder who will weep for me the most??
Wonder who will miss me the most??
Sometimes i wonder what are the songs will be played for my funeral
Wondering who will lead the prayers??


Will the people from the past that i fought will pay last respect??
Will my parents able to take the pain which the son has been gone forevermore...
Will the person who likes me.. Forgets me as fast as possible..
Will the people forgive that wat i've done to them....


IF i die tonight... all i want is ur forgiveness...

It seems like yesterday....

Man... Finally 11 months of working... 3 places i've jumped... Not bad heh!!!! Some say bad, Some says it's good. Sometimes i regret why i took up this particular line... Maybe it's all about passion which i had since standard 4? 

I remember the time when i was in primary school, where teachers used to ask what would like to be when you grow up... Most of them was like.. Lawyer!!!! Doctor!!! Pilot!!!! Teacher!!! Some even told SINGER!!!!!!... Came to my turn where i stood up and the question was being asked and i replied a Hotelier!!!.. Most of them looked at me and LOL! and i remember one macha shouted.. "macha that fellar wanna be a cook lah!!!" and the whole class LOL louder as i stood at the end of the class without any feelings... Just looking down at my Pencil box... The teacher knew i was a lil shy and she actually backed me up by saying... "Class!!! Don't ever underestimate Hotel line!!!"  I was like WTF???? Then she explained about the career that i was about to choose which was totally unique answer from the students that she has taught before and with her curiosity feeling, she asked me more... about how did i get the interest of being in a hotel line... 

So i stood boldly and said that I'm fed up with people telling they wanna be lawyers... Doctors... and etc... besides... My dad is a lawyer and my uncle all are lawyers.. I want to do something different from others... Something which has not been dreamt by a kid.. My class teacher was like.. "wow!" Amazing Kallen! and she asked me which department that i would join and i said to be a chef but not so sure on which cuisine to emphasize on. She then asked who is your role model.. I calmly replied " who else but one and only "Chef Wan" .  Few moments later my teacher asked me to sit down and she explain more about Hotel line as the future industry thing...MAN I had a Proud face!!!!!

13 yrs passed by... and today being a hotelier never makes me bored... One reason... You got the Passion... You will do it no matter hat ever it takes... Sometimes i work 16 hours... and also worked without off days but still i've never given up... In 2009, i still remember those words that hurt me the worst.. The words that pierced through my heart.. and today i'm pushing myself off the limits to prove that bitach a point!!! After all, i've got nothing to lose...

A lil Freedom needed

Been more than month
He works day and night
Sacrificing his precious time for work
Sacrificing for his manager who eventually needs break
Break from work to focus on his family..
Who yearn to see him back at home to spend time with..


He understands the kids feelings
The feelings he once went through
A feeling where his father worked day and night
Working so hard till the father can't let go of the job and spend some precious time with family


As today as the son follows his steps..
The steps that he has not seen himself of what happens in the past
The father realized  that how much the precious time he has not spent with his family
But today... The father realized how much his son has grown and how much he has missed his college life...


As People say " When you do things good.. Good things Comes back to you"
True enough about that statement
He's getting a week off
Thinking what to do??
Going for a Vacation?? Spending time with family???
Seeing relatives which he has not keep contact??
Or eventually seeing someone who he wants to see for a year plus..
An interesting girl who he eventually made friends through Facebook




Time is ticking and He doesn't know what to do......

A New Chapter

Life has it's up-s and down-s
But nothing is gonna stop it from happening 
As they say it happens for a reason
But... When all the answers will be answered?

Days gone by,
As he still there alone,
Wondering how to solve each puzzles
But the answer,he still awaits for it..

Not knowing the answers will be answered soon
So he decides to just leaves it...
Leaves it for good
For he thinks that life has more better things to offer than the answers he awaits for

It's time he turns over a new leaf and writes a new story about life...

A Picture which really i love the most...

20th May 1993... A day all of us were excited as tadika kids due to photography session that the tadika organized. I was basically in my own world due to my speech was slow and all i could utter was basically simple words... Used to dream alot i say =P. Most students were trying their best to give the best smile... I used to remember there was a girl wanted to make up that time.... lol!!! Memories....
At 1st, We were told to stand and some of them to be squat down... I as usual was standing beside a guy name Rajiv *SEE I STILL REMEMBER MY TADIKA MATES!!!* and the guy just stand few feet away and said "Okie students, I'm gonna take a shot... Don't close ur eyes kaayyyy!!!"
Most of the students were smiling and giving their best pose during the class pic except for me... i was like... Okie i'm under the sun and the sun is glaring at me... how am i suppose to give the best of me.... The Photographer snapped and the pic turned out well...
Next session was like a student with the class teacher. I remember i was almost the last one to take a pic and then came to my turn to take a picture... I still remember her(teacher) name... Her name was Ms Tina. That time i would say she was around 20+ i say due to her young age.. and we took a shot.
When the pictures were washed and being given out, my classmates were excited and i dunno how many pictures did the teach wrote a note behind each picture being taken...
I'm sure not many of you have actually know my childhood stories... My tadika hood was a lil sad as my parents thought i couldn't sing... couldn't talk... and they thought i couldn't hear.... went for so many speech therapy... But the beauty is that... this teacher knew i could do it... She really took the effort to spend more time understanding about my psychology and stuff. She kept on observing me to make me to improve in terms of speech. She pampered me so much as i always remember... Her smile was the thing i always love.
I was able to sing some nursery rhymes and was able to catch up some stuff in that particular year but my parents didn't knew wat was actually happening in school and on concert day, my teacher gave them a shock whereby she told them that i will be doing a solo singing on stage.. I still remember that moments as my mom was damn worried cuz she thinks that teacher is joking but my teacher told my mom one thing " your son has improve much from the 1st day i knew him". Then came to a time where they brought me out... I was asked to perform twinkle twinkle infront of estimated crowd of 700 people.... When i sang, there is where my mom, dad and brother was shocked of their lives... I knew my mom was crying for real.... and after the performance... hahahahah!!!! the amount of hugs and kisses i got from my family was awesome lah.... All my parents knew was... i used to play with this car and i won't say anything until i'm hungry or something else...
Oh yeah... that ran off track!!!! Back to the photography thing... She wrote a lil note behind the pic which i knew all this time but won't be bothered to read it... Until today when i was driving around and i suddenly thought about her... I went to my old pic albums and looked for the pic... There i found it and man!!!!! i was freaking small!!!! Turned the photo and read the note which stated as below
"Kallen,
Work hard and always tell yourself that you can do it! There is nothing a man cannot do if he puts his mind to it. Take Care of yourself....
Love Cikgu Tina"
When i read those words... I cried!!! Honestly i cried!!! I'm not ashamed of that statement... she knew who i was...and what i was capable off... She knew that i could do the same things as other kids just that she knew i was a lil slow.. But today.. i look at myself, as a person who is currently having a degree and also working as a supervisor in a hotel. Leading other staff to be a better staff.
I seriously wanna meet her once more to cry on her shoulders that i'm the student which you didn't give up on... and you knew i had something in me.... but the question is????? Where is she now lord!!!! I wanna see her once again and talk to her... All i wish is that... CikguTina (Syamswiatina Hj Ishak) i wanna see you real bad!!!!

7 Months and that's it i could push myself!

Greetings once again!!!!

It's been a while i've updated here and always been updating on facebook =) So, I'm sure some peepz may not know what's happening with me...

Last month, i tendered a 30 days notifications which actually the company sees that they were happy... got no idea why were they happy about but as they say life goes on.... Even the company secretary asking me why am i leaving and i had to reply like Godfather style "It's nothing personal Teh... It's Strictly business" I kid u not... She was freaking puzzled from what i said ( I was like laughing to my self) and i explained to her.. it's nothing about i hate people in the company, it's just that i got a better offer and i have to move till i can do so...

News started spreading all over until Ex staffs were asking me through facebook. There are certain things that made me leave there...

  • Money Talks!!!! My Salary wasn't that good enough for me to sustain my self...
  • Certain people made full swing use of me and i don't mind doing it... increase my salary and i don't mind doing it...
  • None of my photography hardwork being paid AT ALL!!!!!! and now most of my shots being used in the calender
And yeah there were certain cases i wasn't kinda happy with them in terms of throwing me in Sales and then to Front office and so on.... I don't mind doing it... but do it in a proper way lah!!!!

But one thing i realized that i was more motivated to work in Front Office than to work in Sales cuz one thing i realized... What's the point called ur self as sales person but outside they disrespect you... Got that thinking for a moment =)

And i'm too used to the Shift hours which eventually i really had a good time at Front office and with the upselling thing...oh yeah.. lagi lah it motivate us!

Tomorrow i will be joining a new Hotel named "MY Hotel" as front office supervisor which the task is kinda similar to Duty manager =).. Hopefully i can prove Starpoints wrong and they have to regret for the things that they have done on me =)

Adios!

5 months... and it still goes on...

It seems to be like August 5th was yesterday and now months being in the hotel line ain't easy i can tell ya...

Some think that it's easiest thing to do these day compared to Law, Medic and etc etc... But they failed to realized that handling with human beings are much more pain in the ass... I seriously thought front office was bad until i came into Sales.. My oh my... i see weird type of people... weirder than college lecturers... Some are really nice clients... some are not nice... NOT NICE AT ALL!!!!

Well let me share with you some recent unpleasant experience i had during this month. The story goes....

"AH the Credit Meeting!!!!!!!(This is where all the Sales people hates the most)... The meeting between the Chief Accountant(C.A) with Sales and General Manager sits at the round table with secretary sitting beside me( My latest bestie)... Then... the C.A distributes the list of companies which still hasn't paid towards the hotel for payments of stay, functions, seminars and so on. Then the C.A slowly takes out his reading glasses and reads each company's list... and i was pretty happy cuz none of my accounts have any payment problem as they go under pax acc. (Which is they settle there and then it self)....

It was going all well till there's this account name by Hawa Ghazali.. I was like.. okie... this company owes us RM660 Nett and it was under my General Manager's account. Outta no where, my GM suddenly said.. Kallen!!!!! I need you to follow up this payment... well, i was in the state of like saying no but u know the rules.. listen to GM!!!!! Got her number and stuff like that it was going fine.. The person i had to call is a Datin status... so yeah, had to handle her with care cuz of my GM's guest!!!!! (all this happened 2 weeks ago)


On January 12, a day i will never forget... My GM asked me to head down to her house and personally invite her. Thinking that he would have called her and informed her about my arrival i went to her house. It was beside US embassy and it looks nice. Old White Bungalow house with some porsh cars were parked there... As i slowy closed my door, the area was so silent as church. Hearing my foots steps, i approached her front door and was looking for some signs of human beings. Suddenly a voice being heard " Who's there!"

As i looked around and saw a pregnant lady from the top balcony inside her house and i gently replied " I'm looking for Datin Linda . May i see her?"

As the lady looked at me and replied me " I'm the one" " who asked you to come here!!!!" she shouted from the balcony as she walked down the stairs.

I was like oh crap! and replied " Mr Melvin sent me here... He asked me to personally invite you for the corporate night event which is held on the 13th January"

As she was walking down with her nighty not knowing she was sick and pregnant and she was shouting " Didn't Mr Melvin asked you to make an appointment?" "No one comes here without an appointment!!!"

I was like.. Oh F***!!! I'm screwed!!!! and i apologized so many times to her for not making any appointment..She eventually said can you lower down your voice... U're making me get a headache!!!! I was speechless... seriously...DAMN SPEECHLESS!!!!!

She asked me what was in my hands... One hand was the invitation and another was all her bills that she owes the hotel as she grab it from my hand as i was shaken up by her harsh words. She got even frustrated when the invitation card was only written her name and her husband's name not there. There she goes again shouting at me... "Huh!!! How can u invite me but not Datuk!!!!" I was like oh great... My day has gone bad to worst!!!!! For nothing i had to apologized for nothing!!!!!

While she was seeing all her bills, she still was shouting at me... " I've paid these bills!!!!!! What else you need!!!!" I was just speechless...Speechless enough to put me to silence where i used not to speak at all..... And i slowly said, "These are the bills from the hotel, i'm not sure which you have paid and not paid as they claimed that you have not paid Datin" in soft spoken tone...

Then, she saw those bills and kept on repeating, "Anthony!!! Next time you should have done an appointment with me" . " Now i'm sick and none of my guest have seen me in this condition"

All i could do is sit there in silence, waiting when she would chase me out from there. Suddenly she called her Male maids to attend to me as she gave the invitation card on my hand and she walked away from the hall to the top balcony she was .. I was puzzled as he maid approach me and gave eye signal which meant i should leave soon or else more disasters to happen. She told the maid to actually photocopy the invitation and giving me the original copy.

The maid gave her the photocopy version and she said "The invitation card has too much of the nice fragrant smell until i can't take it... i was like HUH!!!!!!!

As then i told her that i had to go back to the office to get some job done and i told her to get well soon.

As in the car, i was alone... Normally i'm the type of person who actually listen to loud music but this time i didn't switch on the radio but just in that state of shock.... I drive out from there and was like... Oh my... Did i went through some dreams???

And suddenly when i reached at Jalan Ampang, a messaged appeared on my phone and it was from her. I was like... "Aiyoo!!! what lah she wants!!!!" and i read that message. " Dear Anthony, You're good guy but came at the wrong time"

I was like.. forget it and just reply a sincere apology message.

When i reached at the office, there i met my GM and his secretary smiling and laughing so loudly as i got down from the car as if i was like from the Corleone family (watch godfather then you would know) with those clipons and slowly walked towards them and GM asked me

"So, got the cash????"

"Nope, and please don't ask me to see her again...EVER" with that high tone as the secretary knew i was pissed and something really bad has happened. Without any more actions, i just walked away and head down to Hannifa to get some drinks as Kickapoo...

Seriously i was too tensed to even think about health and also my so called diet until i had to drink 4 cans of it...

My secretary was messaging me and asking how it went. That also i didn't replied to her and i went into the office. Then my GM came into the office and asked "what happened"

As i replied "Never in my life have been insulted so bad" Not even my parents has done that nor my friends!!!!! and to make things worst she was pregnant and cursing me..."

Gm replied: "it's okie, it ain't you're day" and he smile and he walked away... My heart was saying " what the fuck!!!" You made me a fool down there!!!! and i got cursed by ur shit!!!"
