the one about badrul and the first day at work in the new year...

actually, i don't have much to write about... i'm just excited... well, slightly excited... tahun baru, kerja baru... sedih jugak sebab i bakal meninggalkan kerja lama yang i dah buat lebih enam tahun... banyak kenangan yang dilalui... it's not like i will be working with total stragers lepas nih, but pengalaman yang dilalui tuh yang mahal dan tentunya tak boleh dijual beli... kalau dulu, i selalu seronok bila dapat satu-satu idea to write a commercial... my heart will beat very fast, and i couldn't wait to put those ideas into reality... fikirkan sound effect yang nak digunakan... to choose the right voice talent... and of course music yang sesuai... if i wrote something sad and personal for community services, i will sit down by myself and just cried quitely... or when i wrote something funny *well, i thought it was funny* i will just laugh out loud... leen cakap 'ketawa besar'... and when those ads touches other people's feelings, i rasa macam i dah capai sesuatu yang bermakna buat diri i... banyak sungguh kenangan...

but life goes on... pengalaman tersebut yang memberikan peluang i berada di tempat sekarang nih... to prove to myself and others that i can do more... that i have more to offer... it took me a month before i bersetuju nak terima promotion nih... sesetengah orang akan grab jer the opportunity, tapi i tahu, with it comes bigger responsibility... i kena timbangkan baik dan buruknya... masa yang akan i habiskan dengan kerja berbanding dengan family... macam-macamlah... but it's over now... i dah terima and i will do my best to fulfill the responsibility... takut memang ada... berdebar-debar jugak... but i'm learning... banyak yang nak kena belajar...

i attended my first meeting today... hence this entry... on the way to meeting room, one of my colleagues mintak tolong i settle kan something urgent... well, super duper urgent... it doesn't take long... about 2 to 3 minutes... so, bila i masuk meeting room, dah ada beberapa orang yang dah sampai... salah sorang daripada boss nih dok tengah bising-bising kenapa orang lambat and bila i masuk bilik meeting, dia pandang kat i and terus kata, 'can you please hurry up, i don't have the whole day!'... i'm a vocal person *i'm sure most of you dah tau... muhahahahaa*, but instead of saying something, i just laugh... dengan mata macam nak makan orang dia tanya 'why are you laughing? i'm not joking!'... i dengan penuh 'calm' nya, tanya dia balik, 'errrr, what happen to your day? everybody has one whole day, which is 24 hours, equal to 1440 minutes... were you born with half a day?' everyone else ketawa... except dia lah kan... just at that moment, the bigger boss masuk... fffpphheewww... save by the bell!

you see, kalaulah dia tanya i kenapa lambat, atleast i boleh explain... tak payah nak bitchy-bitchy kan... i tau lah i nih consider 'orang baru', tapi tak payahlah nak buli membuli pulak... kitakan dalam company yang sama, working towards the same thing... i paling tak suka kalau ada orang nak menjatuhkan air muka seseorang depan orang ramai... and this boss punya intention was very clear... ya lah kan... orang baru jangan lah nak menunjuk-nunjuk masuk meeting lambat pulak *walaupun dua tiga minit* but wait, things get better... meeting bincang itu bincang ini, cakap itu cakap ini sampailah ke hujung bila the bigger boss buat announcement... 'you...' said the bigger boss, pointing to the boss yang bising-bising i masuk lambat tadi, 'under the new structure, you and your team are going to report to badrul... he's going to head your department, this department and that department... any question?'... and that boss just geleng kepala...

well, isn't that nice...
