A JOURNEY OF PRECIOUS MOMENT !!!

3 September 2009

I feel so different tonight. Decided to pen down some great memories in the past eight months. Life has been changing rapidly from my initial plans to what I am doing right now. Finally, I knew that I have grown up to be a MAN.

Its so great to finish work early tonight though there are much more left behind for tommorrow. I realized that I have left some of my close friends behind. I haven't meet them for a few months. Let me recalled what had happened since JANUARY 2009.

JANUARY 2009
Begin a new year with a bunch of girls going for CountDown at THE CURVE. Really enjoyed it so much. It was really happening at this place. I almost cried because of what had happened in 2008. But I did realised that its the growing stage.

I were back to work after the celebration only realizing that my company wanna cut our salary by 50%... ITS A LOT MAN... I were so disappointed with the management, its totally unbelievable... but fortunately, my commission is able to cover my actual salary. The month is ended with anger and disatisfaction.

FEBRUARY 2009
It should be a great month as the CNY is here. But it was really unfortunate that my family started the new year with a loud bang in the family. FAMILY was totally in a chaos on the first day of CNY. Aunties and Uncles fighting at home. It was really sad to see this during CNY. It should be a month to celebrate a family reunion and happiness.

UNFORTUNATE LUCKS coming after one another. My company refused to pay salary by threatening us. I was really angry and devastated. I went to lodge a report at the Ministry of HUMAN RESOURE of MALAYSIA and consulted few lawyers on this issue. The feedback was not so promising as I will lost in this battle if its brought to court.

I accepted the fact that I have lost since I started the job. WHY??? Its all stated in the OFFER LETTER of AGREEMENT. Sad... SIGH... But LIFE STILL MOVED ON...

I finally met with Timothy after a few persuasive invitation to meet. I still remember when we met at THE ISLAND at KUCHAI LAMA. He tried his best to explain to me about what he is doing. Its ONLINE PAYMENT SERVICES. What's that??? Just out of curiosity, I went to consult my friend, Sook Wen.

I have no idea of what it is all about but I take the challenge to try it out. I have resigned from my job. If I dont take it, it means that Im gonna be jobless. OMG!!! But nonetheless, I took up the offer.

MARCH 2009
Finally I have get back my freedom from my previous employment. Though I knew its gonna be a tough road to go on from here. Fortunately, I have taken up the offer from Timothy. To join a company from TAIWAN... PAYLINK SOLUTIONS SDN. BHD. I am sure its not as famous as AIR ASIA or IBM or HP or GENTING. but its larger than life in TAIWAN.

I started up as a junior Advisor. Learning the good and bad of the industry. How the company could benefit the business world and the successful stories in TAIWAN. Its really impressive as the first time, i am dealing with ROGER, a TAIWANESE, the owner of PAYLINK SOLUTIONS SDN. BHD.

I were given a task to complete a business presentation which I have never done before, proposing to CHH Sdn. Bhd. But indeed I have done it successfully. The meeting between CHH Sdn. Bhd. and our company were fruitful with the presentation act as an intermediary and proposal for the company. It was my first achievement.

APRIL 2009
It was a very good beginning towards my new career. But I was worried about my own expenses as I am on commission basis. It made me headache. But I did carried on with my job as I have learnt on how to deal with businesses.

I were given a second task. I am representing my company PAYLINK SOLUTIONS SDN. BHD. and SUN TECH Co., LTD (TAIWAN) to meet for a discussion with an Australia's company, WOWPAYS. I were nervous at first as I have never deal with a foreigner but Roger gave me lots of courage to do so.

Finally, we met with MARK KEVIN, Wowpays' MANAGING DIRECTOR. It was a great first meeting between us. I am a translator between the two bosses. I were so excited over the outcome and result of the meeting. Since then, I am representing PAYLINK to deal with foreign companies.

The collaboration between PAYLINK and CHH Sdn. Bhd. were started with all the plans were put to place. We wish the partnering could work out well.

MAY 2009
I have finished all my savings to bear all my expense. I decided to get to my last resort, getting help from a friend, BAN. He is a nice friend indeed. Offering his help to me. I do appreciate that. BUT something bad happened. I mistakenly understood him. He is willing to pay for my food and petrol but not to give me cash directly. I were screwed upside down. Our friendship since then broke apart. I just wonder, did I do anything wrong, even an apology is not worth it anymore???? BUT I am really SORRY... I didn't mean to do it.. I were really angry... I told myself not to seek any help from friends anymore... LIFE IS ABOUT OURSELVES.

With my own courage and determination, I close the first deal by the end of the month which happened to be my previous company's client, a lawyer firm. The deal signify a new beginning towards my new career. Finally, it has proven that I never made the wrong decision.

JUNE 2009
June is really an interesting month among all. All of us were busy looking for representative who are keen into business. Finally, I have got 3 on my hand, Muina, Lawrence Ho and Bernie. But unfortunately, Bernie couldn't make it as she is going back to Sibu. Wish you all the best, Bernie.

I have knew Muina not too long, its merely a year and a half. She is a very nice friend. I appreciated our friendship a lot. and she is now my business partner. She was my side partner, but now, my direct business partner. It may sounds weird and complicated, but its very simple. hahaha

Lawrence was my high school friend. He was my junior back in High School, we have known each other for about 10years by now. Time flies really fast man... hahaha... I met him again on FACEBOOK on one "beautiful" night... I took the initiative to meet him. We met and we discussed about the job that im dealing with...

He is keen to join me and we have become business partner since then. It was a productive month, not only me, bt to Timothy and Jac, our Manager.

JULY 2009
We are undergoing a new management restructuring. We have to catch up with our new positions and jobscope. I were promoted to be a manager, Int'l Development Manager. It was just a name, bt it meant a lot to me. An achievement that I never dreamt of. It was an opportunity given to me and I treasured it with commitment and responsibility.

With a new position and task given were different, the whole team strive to work harder and building the company towards another level. Its a very productive month. A few big merchants like STG, IS ELITE and DYNASTY WORLDWIDE signed up as our merchant. It was an achievement for PAYLINK. The three of us, Jac, Tim and myself have successfully created a name for PAYLINK. We are the "THREE MUSKETEERS" of PAYLINK... Haha...

LAWRENCE is officially our team member. He joined the management team and be one of our active partners. I took the lead to guide him in his daily work and progress. He is a quick learner and a very dedicated guy. I am learning from him for his good attitude. He is one of the role model that I should learnt from.

AUGUST 2009
AUGUST is an interesting month. We have decided to start up something new. A NEW PROJECT that gonna storm the world. Business discussion were ongoing and we are busy preparing for the proposal and presentation slide. I looked like a workaholic BUT im not.... hahaha... I have to work on weekends without a rest day... Busy attending meetings and discussions too..

Its like a time bomb, without wasting a single minute or seconds. We work day and night rushing for the proposal. Nothing is greater that working on this out...

Its another level in my work, upgrading to a upper level management. It was a fantastic journey seeing how I fair for the last 6 months.



Its SEPTEMBER right now... A few more months to bade farewell to 2009... I wish that our plan work out and my hardwork wont land me on disappointment anymore...

Cheers...
