Business trip @ Jakarta 2

Today, is the 4th day given training to this new gal...
The experience is bad!

Why I said so? I also do not know where I should start.
Her pick up is very slow & don't really pay attention.
At first I thought that is because of a lot of interruption. But until today, Today is a holiday! No one is in the office except me & her. No interruption at all...
But, she still unable to cope it...

Why?? I'm asking myself... Is it my manual very difficult to understand? I sent to my friend & some other coordinators. They said it's completely simple with following the steps.
Then, what is the problem? Is it she don'y understand? If yes, everytime when I asked, are you clear until this moment, then she said yes!
Then, I gave her some spot quizzes... Which really make me frustrated!
The same things, the simple question, she already cant answer me! How can I expect her to planning on it? Even read the manual also got problem, then how I gonna to continue teaching her?

I was complaining with my colleagues that I gonna give up teaching on her. I'm gonna tell my boss that give me double salary & I work for 2 countries instead of teaching her & giving me trouble. I even told my colleagues that can I go back Malaysia now & ask SAP analyst come to continue it for me. Well.... all just what I wish I can only.

At this moment, I really out of my patient & I asked to follow the manual, I monitor it besides.
But, she still unable to do it. I almost shout at her & ask her think properly before do it. Then, she replied me: "I think you are too tired already, why not we take a break & continue after lunch."
Wah ser!! What will you feel when you heard about it? Going to faint? Going to vomit blood? Going to heart attack?

That's how I feel in Jakarta trip with totally exhausted...

Business trip @ Jakarta

Finally, I'm in Jakarta already.
As final plan, my boss really committed his word & send me to Jakarta to conduct a training to the new staff here.

Today, is the second day I stayed in Jakarta. What is my feeling in Jakarta?? That is the common questions that all my friends & colleagues asking me, even my boss...

Well... My answer is Jakarta is not as complicated as what you think. Yes, can't deny that Jakarta is very crowded with people & cars. That's not common if you can't see any cars on the road. People here are very polite & good manner, it's not like Malaysian. But, I think Malaysian will not used to Indonesian's driving skills. We are used to drive fast & impatient, but for Indonesian, they are driving slow & peace. How slow they are? Yeah.. May be it's only 20km/hr or 40km/hr. I think the speed is only happened in Malaysia when it is traffic jam.

Next question, have you explore in Jakarta already? Unlucky, I still haven't explore any in Jakarta yet. I was suffering on conducting the training. The training is not going smooth as what I planned. I was slow down my schedule & loosen the schedule, so that she can easily pick up. But, I think I lose. There are a lot of issue happened here, a lot of interruptions, & also the student is not really pay attention. I'm really try my best to teach her, but I noticed that, I'm getting lose on my patient. You know, as from my planned, I'm going to teach 2 topics in the first day. But unfortunately, I only able to conduct one. So, the next day I went to the office early & planned to start early too. Who knows, she is doing other things in the morning & we only start the training around 11am. As planned, today I got to teach her for at least 4 topics, but again... she spoilt my planned again. She pick up slow, not paying attention & etc...

Ai... It's really tired to conduct this kind of training.

Continue when I'm free as I'm tired now.

New Year 2008

How you celebrate New Year 2008?

For me, this is the first time that I celebrated & countdown at Bukit Bintang eventhough I'm born in Kuala Lumpur. Haha... Must be feel surprise, right? But, that is the fact.

At first, we planned to celebrate it at The Curve. After fetch the 2 friends in PJ, they said they are too boring to celebrate in PJ again as they everyday walk to work at there, etc... So, I called up my sister to check up for the traffic condition in KL area from website. Seem that, the traffic was fine. Therefore, we decided make a move to KL. But, when the time we move up, we stuck in the jam due to "Lori Rosak dalam 3km". & this lorry make us stuck in the jam for at least one hour. We all are starving in the car & almost can imagine the food are just in front of us... Haha... (sound a bit serious already...)

Finally, we reached KL at 10pm & surprising that there is no jam at all. We quickly get into a parking & crab the food to feed our super duper hungry stomach. When we all see the food, quickly put into our mouth. I'd been forgetted that I can't eat in fast & much after super hungry. Just in the half meal I had, I been attack by the gastric... :( But, still I continue & walk to the destination after the delicious dinner.

When we reached Bukit Bintang, there were really a lot of people over there. There still got 1.5 hours to reach 12am. But, the crowd over there were playing around with the spray, party ribbon, whistle, etc... Besides, there has a stage & few local singers are presented on the stage. The situation are so hot & happening. The whole road was full of people & rubbish.

We keep on tried to find a place to stand & look at the stage. But unfortunately, I'm too short... Unable to see anything... At last, we move to the bridge of Lot10 & Sungei Wang. Because I got a friend will join me as well & we promise to get each other on the Monorial Station. While waiting for my dear friend, suddenly start raining heavily... But, the crowd still not moving away from the road & luckily we all are on the bridge with cover top.

Finally, my dear friend reached around 11.15pm. But the rain still on with slightly light a bit. Then, we got 6 persons altogether & we started to move to the stage with hand hold hand. Basically, from the bridge to the stage is not far, it just may be about 300 meter, but it took us 20 minutes to reach there. From the way we moved on, those people with the spray were keep on spray on us due to we all were still "clean". Then, we all wanted to skip on the spray, we were "running" here & there & hide at the back of guys... Haha... Funny that, our guys here suddenly become snow man... :D

Time passed fast & 12am reached... Everyone wish each other happy new year 2008 & all the crowd were move to the middle of the road & enjoy the fireworks show on top of us. Due to our ladies are all small size, we all been squeeze into the crowd as "sardin fish". Our face showed the sweat, rain & also tired~ Haha... But, still funny, happy & unforgettable memories.

After the countdown, we take a move to a mamak stall at Jalan Alor. We take a drink & have a "gila" chat... Out of 6, I only know 2 friends. The rest are friend's friends. But, we all seem like old friends already coz we all are same type: Crazy! :p

After drink for an hour, we split into 2 cars again & back home. But for my side, 4 of us were not back home yet, but for supper. We went to SS2 had a supper & play around again. Around 3am only come out from the cafe & back home.

That night, I was reached home at 4am with super tired & satisfied, but no next time at Bukit Bintang.
