After putting so much effort in the past 30 days, finally the month of August has almost ended.
Final Exams of the Sem ended... Closing of the months business sales also was yesterday.
The final day of sales (Friday - 29th August) was really an exciting one. The previous day my sales was still trilling at 95 %, it could be easily be a case of so near yet so far. Like what happened last month.
Friday was reallly havoc for the whole sales team. Those that had achieved their target like my boss - Daryl could take it easy. August happens to be the month with the Highest Sales Target withing the whole year. Everybody struggling & striving their level best to try to bring in the remaining % in order to hit target.
The atmosphere was one of high tension. Everybody were on the phone, typing emails & checking for faxes. Every minute - every second counted. One could compared the office floor like a Brusa Malaysia where the shares were traded.
As for me, I was busy following up with customer. Chasing for pending payment, trying to make sure that advertisment were done on time. So rushing till no time to drink water & use the toilet. Things seemed to be OK after lunch. Guess what ?! My sales started coming in - & in & in & in.
Gosh - really amazed by how it actually happen. The undescripable feeling - feeling of happiness & estasy & excitement. I hit my target - wanted to celebrate & shout but restained so as to be considerate for the others who were still strugling.
In the meantime, our team was also neck to neck with Penang team in a competition. Stakes were really high - it was a competition of the higest percentage achieve as a group. We had 12 members in our team, Penang 5. Everybody kept on 'pumping' their sales in - the figures kept changing every 15 minute. It was Penang leading for a moment, we catched up & at some point of time - at par with each other.
Those moments were really 'gan zhiong' to the max. In the end - I also could not believe myself - I managed to put in 30% of my monthly sales target in a day ??!! But, the best thing that happened is that we managed to overtake the Penang team by a niche margin of 1.12%...
However, the month has not ended & I bet the whole team will keep our fingers cross & pray that our efforts do win us the competition.

Relieve after exam !!!
Fuyoh... i feel so relieve while writing this blog.
Finally finish my last paper - Malaysian Studies. Oh well, basically it has been worrying me for quite a bit... like carryin a weight around during these 2 weeks.
Cant be really bothered whether i get good result anot - A 3.0 & I ll be please with myself. No expectations but cant be bothered - will see what comes out.
Hmmm... so now the next thing i ll need to be worrying is my sales target. So far - lets see - its 70 %, with 6 days more.
Really tension also but i really think scoring in exam is way alot harder than hitting sales target. Anyway, managed to get new time table from Jeff, my course consellor. Next Sem starts on 2nd Sept - one week breaks for me. Happy !
Off for futsal & yam cha with frenz later on.

Past 1 week was really hectic !!!
Finally got a bit more time to write this post....
Finally got a bit more time to write this post....
Believe it or not - I actually took 2 days off to study - 14th & 15th (Thursday & Friday). But, really needed that time off - else I would never have the time to study for Finance.
Thursday - Sleep, Eat, Study & Online. Frankly however - I don't really remember what i did that day. Its like that part of my memory being wipe out.
OK. So comes Friday - Its a boring day - Study, study ... study study... access my webmail from home too...
So Many Notes - Brother's Bed
More Notes - On My Bed As Well !Deciding to put an end to this purposeless, unmeaningful process to an end.
Told myself - "Thats it lah... thats all for today folks.... To be continued another day... "
Called my friend up - asked where he was - He said "Low Yat" & I thought of DIGITAL CAMERA.

Overall quite satisfied with it - expect for the size... But what to do.. cannot expect everything perfect within such a limited budget.

Helping someone harder than imagined.
This post is published as I am diappointed with my cousin.
She might think that she is old enuf to decide for herself what to do. But, what she really did yesterday & today is trully very irresponsible & immature.
She shifted out from home last yr. Since then, she has been working in malls & doing all kind of odd jobs. I cant recall how many jobs from that time till now she has changed. But for that, I don blame her - I was like her too... doing my jobs to keep surviving thru my school days.
So this is what happen, seeing that she has been jobless for quite some time - I decided to ask her if she wanted to work for my company on a part time basis. So after giving her the details, she was alright with it. Basically - the job required her to sit in the office from 9-6 during the weekends calling out to some members asking them to update their email. How bad could that be compare to the job which she last worked, standing there from 10am - 10pm & paid almost the same.
Anwyay, i double confirmed with her the friday day before. "So you will be coming rite tmr? Work starts at 9 & by 6 you can chau..." She replied, "Can ! No problem...."
Saturday morning - About 7 AM - she called telling me that she was tired & wanted to sleep abit longer - would be coming in late. I said give her 1 half hour extra & she should be in to work. So, I went to work & with the others team members. It was 10.30 - She should be here by now but no phone call no sms. I guessed that she muz have overslept and I was right, by 11.30 I got a sms from her saying that she just woke up. So OK lor... told her to come in tommorrow & please be on time.
Sunday morning - About 8AM - she miss called her. So i called her back - thinking that she had reached the office earlier. But that was not it, she told me " We are on our way out - so very likely will reach in another 1 half hour ..." In my heart i was like - WTF ! & what's with 'THEY'?
She said she brought along another 3 frenz with her. Supressing the anger in me... i told her... what is all this about .... very very pissed out with her.
I told her only staff can enter the office. So, she said... y you didnt tell me... so what are they going to do when i working? I said... maybe you can ask them go time square first jalan jalan lor... they she sweared at me... I was really controling myself.. Thank goodness she was not in front of me... else i would have slap the shit out of her.
Well, to me.. .this is like the chinese saying "Hao Sam Pei Lui Pek" or "The Dog That Bite Its Master"... Here i am trying to bloody help you but you do not have any discipline to wake up early, come on time. The way u're speaking to me is as though i force you to work here...
But this is too much... I guess this will be the last time. I am very disappointed but its to be expected when trying to helping someone who not willing to help themselves...

Last Day of July
Its the last day of the month... Very stressful day... the 8 hours seem to pass very agonzingly....
The reason being, I could not managed to hit my sales target, just a thought when they gave the target. With a pat on my shoulder, 'All along you can do it what, this time no a problem for you...' (Refer to earlier posting for more details)
Oh well, since they have had such confidence in me - I'll just try my best i suppose. Calling... presenting our companies produce, seeking to generate leads....
During the last week, it was so near yet so far... 89% of total sales target & it was not moving at all. NOT at all.... Feeling kinna tired - I wasn't in a mood to try to get the remaining sales volumn in... seemingly impossible case...
On the last day - pressure mounted up but i guess it was a blessing that I wasnt the only one who have fail in our mission for the month.
But anyhow, its a new month... fresh start, new targets, time to refocus on priorities.
Motto for the month of August "I don't believe in destiny... Fate is created by my own hands ! "
