My First Happy New Year 2007 with the team ....


Happy New Year 2007...............

On the 31st December 2006 (Sunday) @ 11.00pm………………….. I was unable to attend Church because my big boss wanted me and some of the senior staff to join him at Nihonkan Restaurant & night club in Jalan Ampang, K.Lumpur  for New year 2007 celebration…………………. There are eight of us including boss as Chef Tambi and Chef Billy Ong were unable to join in, so the seven of us  are as follow: Mr Tan Chuan Hong (Senior Captain of Saisaki), Mr Fang (Supervisor of Shogun) , En. Rashid (Captain of Shogun), Ms. Voon (Captain of Shogun), Ms Mandy Wong (Account Manager), Ms. Pei san (Account Exe.) and Me.
At  Nohonkan……………….. we were treat by the most expensive food and drinks from our boss because we have manage to hit our target be for the end of 2006……… as for Saisaki we are the best in a very short period of time we hit one mill. So my boss were very happy with the result……….. on this dinner I was very curious about something, Why he never invite the Asst. Manager and Supervisor of Saisaki……… So I ask Ms. Mandy and he heard about it, he told me the reasons of not inviting them here, because that they are not worth to be spent on this dinner and he ask me, why I so concern about not inviting them here and yet what have they done to you, you are still so concern about them………….. my only answered to my boss at that time is that, If not because of them I will never learn to be a better and equip staff of yours and I am not the person who will keep anger in myself on a person that have back stab me………. After hearing my reasons he was so please……………..

During the dinner, he even arranges a stage show on Japanese and Korean cultural show………. How nice for me to experience this in a life time because I never been able to see this in my little home town back in Kuching. He even bought the most high quality sake (Japanese rice wine) and Chamisu (Korean rice wine) for this dinner…… it might cost him a fortune to treat us at this dinner…………

 Note: Ang Pow (Year End Bonus)
After the dinner……… is time for the fireworks and we all wish boss happy New Year 2007 and all the present for the dinner……. After that we are about to go……… my boss gives every one of us an “ang pow” (Red Packet in Chinese) ………..  After receive it we all went back…… as Ms. Mandy and Ms. Voon sent me back………….. in the car Ms. Mandy say to me hei bro tomorrow belanja KFC ya……… I just say ok…. Then I thank her for sending me back…….
When I was at home……… I totally forget about the “and pow” because I was too damn tired and took a quick shower and go to bad…………. The next morning while I go through my bag be for going to work, then only I saw the “ang pow” just to open and see how much boss give to me, to my surprise it was Rm300.00 and I was so happy because my old phone Nokia 8250 are giving me problem and have to get a new one very soon………. So at the afternoon I went to Sungai wang during our lunch break, to look for a new phone……… all the new phone there are out of my budget and also the 2nd hand one. One of the “Tauke” was asking what my budget for a phone is.  I told him Rm 100.00…………. then he took out a Nokia 100I
……… I ask him how much he say to me is Rm110.00 and I told him if Rm 90.00 I take, Surprise the “tauke” agree to give me the price………….. I was so happy that I will not lost communication for a while with my parents if my old phone “Kong Out” after getting the new phone and buying a reload card, I went for a hair cut but don’t know where I can find one, so ask around every shop I go are” All Blood Sucker”, then I found one shop  call the Quick Cut……. Well, when I look at the price is very reasonable. For a hair cut is Rm10.00 so I give it a shot………….. the barber was not bad indeed. On the way back to the restaurant as Ms. Mandy were saying last night “Belanja KFC” so I bought a set of KFC for Rm9.90 to give it to her…… she was so happy that saying “No deed lah I was joking only mah” so I tell her joking or no joking when I say ok means ok………..Well today I spent Rm 130.00 and it worth it…………
Note: My new phone (Nokia - 1110i)

After work, while on the way back…….. Mr. Tan or Ah Tan ask me to wait for him and he say, he will sent me home and be for that lets grab a bite at Pudu so I said ok……… while at pudu he ask me how much I get and I ask him back, how much you get for the “ang pow” he say to me Rm100.00, but I never tell him the actual amount, If I tell him the actual sure many comment. So I ask him to guest how much can I get………. He says Rm200.00 because boss likes me a lot, I say to him does you think so, as I was a junior captain and you are senior captain, no way that I can get more than you. So I tell Rm100.00 also and he asks me why like that, I tell him our boss is very fair……………. After the “char kueh tiau” (Fried white rice noodle) he sent me back and never ask any more about the “ang pow”.
When at home, I took a quick shower and pray to the Lord for his kindness to provide me with many helps when times arrives……….. then I went to sleep……….
To summaries on this occasion, I was so thankful that the Good Lord who was looking after me and my welfare when I was facing a hard times in K.Lumpur…….I also do believe that when you do your work with sincerely and hard working, you will definitely be reward with kindness and your faith to words the Good Lord will be reward even bigger………….
