I Love Penang Walk 2019

Yo, this is the first time I participate in this public event after my road accident. I Love Penang Walk or I Love Penang Run is the best event I want to join due to its cost.

I accidentally discovered this event in Facebook and decided to participate then. Online registration was required and it costed me RM30 for the I Love Penang Walk T-shirt, finisher medal and e-certificate. However, it gave me emergency contact wrist band and 20% discount voucher for coffee/tea in a cafe.

These were taken yesterday in The Whiteaways Arcade.

 This Christmas decoration was in the venue and it looked nice.

I set up alarm for this event because it starts at 7am using my Honor 10 but I forgot that the time frame is different because it was still in Indonesia time zone. I set the alarm at 5:45am but indeed it rang at 6:45am Malaysia time zone. Thus, I was late! I was shocked and quickly brushed my teeth and rode my motorcycle there at once. Luckily, I was safe along the journey. When I reached there, it was already 7:15am and I parked my motorcycle in front of Income Tax office. Fortunately, I was on the last batch of the queue. 

The journey is from Occupy Beach Street to Penang Heritage sites. These were the photos taken along the streets.

 

 
 

 

 

I wonder how special the rojak will be.

 

 

  

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

Yo, this was the finisher medal at the finishing line.

 

 

 


When I took my motorcycle, it was only 8:43am, meaning that the journey just spent me 1 hour and 28 minutes by walking and photography. Well, the journey is not long and I hope that more friends will join next time. Frankly speaking, I hope for I Love Penang Run in the next event.

Then, I went to 桥头 to eat Hokkien Mee as breakfast. It costed me RM4.50 and RM1.40 for a cup of coffee. Well, the taste was good. 

After that, I whatsapp Lim Bing Huang but he didn't reply or see my message. I think, he is still sleeping. Ergo, I called him to meet up in Greenlane McDonald's. We chatted quite well there and I received his payment of premium. He is interested in this event and he asked to inform him of this kind of events later.

First Spectacles

Well, I managed to find Eu Gene on Monday to check my eye sights. The first time I went to his shop, he was not around, he was attending a seminar, so I just could meet his dad. However, his dad did inform him of my presence after knowing my name. 

But I did it at the second attempt. Both of my eye sights were 200 degree by checking through the optometry machine, same like what I checked in Kampar when my youngest sister did some contact lens there.

Nonetheless, my short-sightedness was just 75 degree for both eyes by manual checking. Wow, there was improvement! If I'm not mistaken, my left eye was 75 degree while right eye was 125 degree. Well done. 

According to Eu Gene, there is no medicine yet for light receptor, that's why my eyes still like wearing a sun-glass. There is improvement, last time when I first noticed (when I have memory) was about 80% dark but now it's about 20% only.

He said the contact lens that my sister bought got limited lifespan, about 6 months only, that's why there was RM60 discount. I asked him whether my spectacles will have lifespan, he said no.

He said he would give me a CLHS price. My frame + lens was RM138 but I want lens that can filter blue rays from mobile phone, laptop or television. He said it would cost me another RM100. Well, so I spent RM238 for my first ever spectacles. The so-called CLHS price is RM50 discount.

These are my spectacles. I purposely choose a frame without a pair of white rubbers because normally people's nose will get scar. Eu Gene said there is dark purple at the side, so this frame is worthwhile and it's plastic frame is thick, therefore it is stronger.

This is my style and the way I wear the glass. Am I looked good?

Eu Gene's optometrist shop just opened on 17 September 2018. The rental of his shop was RM6,000 per month, I was frightened. That means Eu Gene can earn more than RM6,000 a month. So hopefully he can secure his insurance or saving plans with me. Let me earn a bit. 

He is sharing his shop with hid dad. His dad sets up his office at the back of his shop and doing other businesses. 

I get my spectacles today, two days after I check for my eye sight in his shop.

The main reason I buy this glass is because I want to wear it to Si Jie's wedding in the mid of October 2019. Her wedding is in Ipoh and I'm worried Tracelyn can't fetch me, so I have to drive. There is no road lamps along the high way. Wearing this glass at least can give my parents some confidence. 

It's not nice when I watch television wearing this glass but it's okay when looking at cell phone or laptop. Eu Gene said it's normal since this is just my first time wearing this glass. So just hope for the best. 

Road Accident Anniversary

好久没有update blog了！

2018年7月20日，我发生了车祸！导致我一个多月没有知觉！醒来之后，眼睛还是暗淡的。

当我醒来时，已经在我的房间了。当时，我并没有觉得什么不对。爸爸问我我还知道自己发生车祸吗，坦白说，我不知道。随后，才发现自己嘴上的疤痕。

第一天，觉得视线很暗，但是我闭嘴而已，或许是车祸过后的反应呢。不过，第二天还是老样子。所以我问小妹，雪琳，几时要去看眼睛医生。之后，家人才知道我的眼睛有问题。爸爸是带我去GMC看Dato Dr Lai，所谓马来西亚最好的眼科医生。因为他应该是全马唯一一位在外国考获眼科执照的医生，而且爸爸有几位朋友找眼科医生治疗眼睛，但都治不好，而Dato Dr Lai却能把他们治好，所以就带我去找他治疗。可是，每一次都要价RM500-RM600。而且他说我的脑里的血不多，所以不用动手术，我只是眼睛的茎受伤，因此要等时间来康复，没有药吃。只是这样对话5分钟，就要那么多钱！我问他我可以吃朋友来看我时送我的补品吗，他说不必，因为我还受伤，所以补不到。他有叫护士带我验眼睛，不过我的朋友说那种验法眼睛店都有。但是去GMC之前，我有去Optimax，才RM300多，但是他们要拿我医院的报告看，因为他们没有可以看我眼睛茎的机器，所以我也只是看他们一次而已。

不过，还好啦，现在眼睛有好转了，没有以前那么暗了，好像带墨镜一样而已，所以晚上、雨天，我是没有出门的。

这些是Ms Boon和Ai Nee去医院探望我时拍的照片，她们说这是我在GH ICU时拍的。整个脸都被包裹了，怎么会没有疤痕呢？奇怪的是，ICU是不用穿衣服的吗？哈哈。。。

爸爸说我因为细菌感染，所以医生把我送去ICU。我是在Padang Polo，槟洲元首的屋外第二棵树发生意外的。走路都可以进院，但是我大概是晚上12点出事，但是半夜3点才入院！还好，流血不多，不然应该会干枯而死了吧！而且，直到现在，还是没有人去报警。我不怪他，我知道他怕事，但是连医院都不通知，那就是要我死了！这是我不能接受的。还好自己有买保险，不然不知道要跟谁借钱。借钱就好哦，不要说给我们。可惜的是，我醒来后直到现在，却失忆！忘记自己的车祸是怎么发生的。有人说我是自己撞的，我就说如果是自己撞的，会这么严重吗？

私人医院不敢接受我，因为爸爸看到GH的ICU医生和护士不多时的决定。所以医生一看到我开眼睛了，就要我回家了，因为不够病床。但是我还没记忆、知觉。

我第一次有记忆是Maria Sim GSM、Danez Chan GSM、Ng Tat Hoo USM、Steve、Lai Peng和Danez女朋友来我家看我时。

我很感动，他们竟然从Johor、Seremban那么远的地方来探望我。还好自己手脚没有断，不然才要开始学走路而已呢！

同时，Maria也自己给我红包，祝我早日康复，也顺便把Mr Hoi的红包给我。他们回后，我打开一看，吓到我了！Mr Hoi竟然包最大包的红包给我，RM2,000呢！不过，他没有来看我啦，只是会问起我的近况，当他有来槟城时。不过，他倒是有whatsapp我的哦!

在我回家后，但是还没有记忆时，有同事来看我的，包括Wai Keong GSM、Yvonne Lam GSM、Low Chung Siang GSM等。Low Chung Siang告诉我我应该还没有醒的，因为或许我不认得他们，所以我会怕。

CRZ和志豪GSM刚好在槟城有group event，所以顺便来看我，真有心。

Tracelyn USM、Si Jie、立杰USM、Suk Yong USM、以及Adeline USM也有来看我。所以Si Jie在今年的婚礼，我一定要出席。在我有记忆后，Tracelyn是来看我最多次的人（除了CM Loh和Mei Sim以外），她还有跟Thow Hing Chuang GSM一起来看我，而且妈咪和Ms Boon说她还去医院看我呢！

William Ang和女友、Tan Peng Tong以及Meng Choo也因为SG BM在槟城的活动，所以特地来看我。

这是CM Loh、富贵和我去Gurney Paragon看戏时，遇到Lai Sin GSM来看戏时拍的。

CM Loh一直叫我去agency学习，好啦，就应酬他一下。有一次Ms Chew看到我，特地来跟我share hand。

也感激“山友”来看我。有Stepanie Q、学优、Bee Chia Ying和Venessa Tan。

Ai Nee也带她的agent来看我，她说我以前有attend过她的agent的。哈哈，我也忘记了。她还自愿载我去和Wai Keong的recruitment meeting。

还有一些人来看我的，只是没有拍照而已。总的来说，真是感谢他们，还有Mr Hoi。

这次的意外，导致我3样东西不见。第一是我的pen。不过还好，因为它的clip不好，可能被抛开了！第二是我的电话。我的Huawei P10 Plus啊，才买不久而已。好笑的是，为什么拿我的手机而不拿我的钱啊！妈咪还我钱包时，我看里面还有几百块啊！第三更奇怪，摩托车的外套，晚上跟本不需要外套的啊！

我出院后，爸爸讲我乱说话、比手划脚，因此他带我去问保长伯。阿伯说有东西在那边等我了，他只是要求我痊愈时去拜他而已，他会去现场抓它。

Teng Bee Teng也来看我两次，在我没有记忆时。她每次都叫爸爸带我去问济公。所以这次眼睛的问题，就去问济公了。济公说他做东西很慢的，要快，我可以找别人。他还给了我一个手链，他说是保来的。而且，他还给我神符。Teng有跟他拿，但是他不给，哈哈。。。

所以，就希望我的眼睛快点好吧！我要重见天日！

Football 7

Well, the Barclay Premier League is starting tonight! Hopefully it will be a fruitful season to my favourite team, The Red Devils, Manchester United.

There had been three recruits for Manchester United during the summer. There are Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic. I see eye to eye with all these recruits. They are what Manchester United need the most in those areas. 

Lindelof will be a great addition to the Central Backs as there are a number of injuries, such as Rojo, Jones and etc.. 

Lukaku will be a replacement for Ibrahimovic. He will be key to open up the score sheet in every match. For your information, Red Devils lack the cutting edge last season and in fact, it had been the case for many seasons since post-Ferguson era. Hopefully the goal scoring statistics of Lukaku will be carrying on in Manchester United. 

Defensive midfield is always the area to improve since Michael Carrick is almost certain to hang up his boots after this new season 2017/2018. We need more power, speed, energy and toughness in order to cover the back four. Ergo, Matic is an excellent addition and I'm so happy with the transfer move.

Well, my ideal formation for Manchester United this season will be 4-2-3-1. Yup, it's an old style but it will be balanced formation. The line up will be De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Rojo, Herrera, Matic, Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Martial, Lukaku.

Rashford can be employed as right wing or central forward. His speed and cutting edge provide valuable options. 

It'll be an exciting season after second year in charge by Jose Mourinho. Let's see how the catalyst will respond to us. 

Challenge 3

I can't believe that I had alienated my blog for almost two years. The last post was on 03/09/2015.
Well, for a quick summary. I had done my promotion in 2015, thanks to Dr Wong's help. In 2016, I got my maintenance settled in November.

Now it's 2017. The economy of Malaysia has been a horrible one even though our government still insists that there is growth in our economy. Everyone feels the impact. Low currency, higher inflation rate and etc. I am one of the victims too. 

For your information, most of my client bases are of the lower income group, majority of them are promoters in complex or mall. Their purchasing power is not high. As a consequence, I'm badly affected. Ergo, the strategy that I use this year is to join roadshow team formed up by SG Farlim. It's another way for me to get new name lists and to force myself to open new markets. There is still room for improvement in this sector. 

Ironically, my sales drop heavily this year. I just manage to close RM27k ANP up to date with nine NOC. I start to freak out as the time remaining is not much. I still have four months to go. I'm not worried about my ANP as my PFYLP is already RM41k. Nonetheless, I'm more concerned about my NOC as I need 25 cases with RM50k+RM25k PFYLP to get my maintenance. 

What should I do now? I'm going to list out the cases which will come in within these two months as promised by my clients and see how much the difference after that to formulate a new strategy to secure my maintenance. 

I start to self-aware. I'm not going to fake myself anymore. I want to be a role model to my team members and also a good reference to our fellow SG buddies.

Luckily the my commissions are increasing this year and this must give a big hand to the characteristics of my industry. 

Goals for the year of 2017:
1) Ideal situation - USM promotion 
2) Maintenance
3) 3 more newly recruits and 50k ANP

Let's pray hard and work harder in order to achieve what we aim for. 

Challenge 2

I'm on the verge to get my promotion this year while someone special has entered into my life. Nonetheless, none of them is surely guaranteed.

I'm going all out to fight for my promotion out there and it's a blessing that my motivator comes into my life. I treasure and appreciate her a lot. 

After the Independence Day of Malaysia, I thought we got closer and it was a good sign. Nevertheless, something happened this morning and I felt totally defeated!

Why do I have this kind of feeling? At the age of 25, I still have nothing comparable to my peers. Ergo, I considered myself as a total failure. Lifestyle won't give you anything and money is all that counts.

I don't want to blame about luck or whatsoever. I just know that I need to double my work rate and perhaps more cases can  come in. I want a car and a house for my loved ones. I want her to feel secured with me and I want to show her that I am the right one, a real man for her.

Can I do it? It's now or never. We're no longer young. I still believe that I can do whatever I want to do. However, sometimes things won't happen as we wish. But, I'll always try my best to strive for success no matter what! This is my character, no waving white flag without trying my very best. 

Four months to go and I believe I still can make a mark this year. Let's see.

Resurrection

Well, it's almost one year without updating my blog. I believe you miss me so much, aren't you?

It's a new chapter of my life. Finally, I struggle out of myself and choose a better and appropriate path. I want to revive!

Yesterday was the happiest day since I graduated from TARc. I found someone who can be part of my life eventually. Well, it's unofficial yet, hence no more disclosures here.

We went to have movie, 'Ant-Man', meal after that, ping pong and swimming sessions, dinner and also the wine time. It was a huge breakthrough for me. 

To my surprise, she asked me to fetch her back. I was very excited and thrilled. 

I respect her and love her. She wants me to do better. I promised her without hesitation. Ergo, it's time to make my life planning and a resurrection is a must! I'll totally change my strategy and my working habit! 

I want to narrow our gap in this year, and fully in pace with her next year and fighting for our bright future next. I want her to be happy. I want to give her a better life! This is the promise! Just trust me, I can do it!

Price

Last month was the most difficult month for me this year. Luckily, I had gone through it.

Everything comes with a price. I believe that all of you know that there is no free lunch in this world, don't you? If you are going to strive for success, you must pay for it. Like Madam Karen Sue said, if you want to be successful, what are you going to exchange for it?

For my job, I can exchange it with my hard work and time. However, with all these being exchanged, can I make it this year? The answer is 'not necessary'! Thus, what's more?

I need to calm myself down, have a clear mind to make a proper planning. Instill some strategies in my plan, with emotional control, I'm still confident that I can make it, ceteris paribus. 

Getting money from outsiders is the toughest thing so far. People won't simply give you part of their money without a valid reason. On the other hand, we can't earn their money without putting in any effort. Do you agree?

Anyway, we don't depend on others. This is because the people who is always there to help us out is ourselves. The reason is very simple, people won't help you without a price paid for it. They have their own ambitious, they have their time, they are not born to help in your achievements. We can't say that they're wrong, but should we rate our friendship in this way?

How do you price yourself? If you think you worth more, do something!
