Day 154: That was an interesting breifing

Today we had our first company briefing. The usual stuff came about. Cake, new people and then when it come to the KPI. The announce that everyone will be getting bonus, depending on how good is their performance is that year. After that they announce that, 8 individuals are over performance and will receive something special from the company. The something special turns out to be a whopping 5000 dollars. That's just crazy. The funny thing is that, The COO and CEO were the ones who choose who perform in the company. I get that the COO choose people who he sees goes in and out of the office (kudos to one of my friends, he was lucky enough to get it). But the CEO picked all the sales people. I could see my teammate face change, ,since I figure that my team (excluding me of course) works our asses off everyday for the company. As another of my friend said... we won't get the recognition since we are the support stuff. In the end , the people who brought in the business matters. I'm kind of bummed that my boss didn't get it, since he works more than me and my teammate combined. But that's also why they pay him the big bucks... Oh well. We did get cake and a nice turkey new year lunch after that. Its all good. I hope I am not the under achiever that they keep mentioning. As long, I do the work that is given, hopefully I should be fine.

Day 153: 2016 has officially started

I'm back to work for the new year. Took half day morning to see my kids off school. But now I'm back. Got a big project coming ahead. Everyone is having their game face on. Good times... Hopefully this year I get to do my job well.

The Kids grow up so fast

Today my kids are going to a new school. The old one was bummed but put on a brave face since its a new school. The young one was happy that finally she can leave the house. Both of them don't want the parents to wait for them. Good for me since I'm working later 

Scratch that off my bucket list

Today I had the opportunity to met a very great man. I was even given the opportunity to shake the man hand and take a picture with him. The man was Tun Mahatir Mohamad. The 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Special shout out to my high school classmate who invited me to her beautiful smart home. That home has motion sensors, cameras everywhere and a lift that runs on magnets. 

I managed to talk to Tun bodyguard while Tun was going back in his Jaguar XKR

Fun facts

* it always takes he and his wife an 1 to reach the car from a public place. So they need to move early to get to where they need to be

* the bodyguard, driver the whole entourage went to see the force awakens 

That's about it. 

I saw your face in a crowded place...

And I know what to do. Just smile and act normally. It would be weird for me to say hi to her given we once had a history a long long time ago in a galaxy quite nearby. I did say hello... Can you hear me in facebook. It's nice to see that the person has not change after 13 years...
