Journey of Mi[rna]

Take my words here:

Never get close to your enemies

Never give out any things that belongs to you to enemies

================================================================================

I had terrible news yesterday about my on going project. Allah, why the project can’t go smoothly?
There’s always something on the way. The presentation, the jealous competitors, the betrayed subdealer, etc. We made wrong decision to give our quotation to the competitor. You will be wondering what the heck were we thinking? Well, not me……… I would never never make any contact with my competitor, especially give them my quotation and price!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck NO!

When I was still an athlete, I would never said hi to my opponent or ex opponent outside arena. I would never smiled, never shake their hands……..If I started to make some contact, it would lead to a "relationship", then I must chit chat or whatever things that I didn’t want have at the first place.

See, now what happen when you trust people easily and too greedy of something……….
I have warned him, Henry has warned him…….Yeah him…….the big B.
The jealous competitor used it to go against us.

I will never give up cos I’m at the right side.

Missed out my niece’s birthday on Aug 21 just to fly to Denpasar, prepared things for the exhibition on the day after.

Never been to Nusa Dua, last time our exhibition was in Kuta area. It’s quite far from the airport.
We brought so many things and they were heavy.
The hotel was nice, it’s at hill, but our room was at the back, needed to walk far from the lobby with our heavy luggages.
After took some rest, we went to Westin Hotel, the venue.

The first two days of the exhbition was good because many  urologists were there, visited the exhibition. Susan got some prospects from key doctors.

After that, it was soooo quiet! Boring! Not to mention I have to deal with the principal, this guy is unbelievable. He’s so sarcastic, just because we haven’t sold a single system…..Can’t blame him, he’s the Director of Asia Pacific….Or maybe because he’s an American? Dunno exactly…
He wasn’t helping us to improve our selling strategy! Aarrrrggghhh…………. Need to report this to boss.

We attended welcome dinner, sponsored by Olympus. Nice food!
There will be farewell dinner too…..

On first day, we didn’t get our lunch on time. The organizer told us we won’t have it. But they distributed it after all, at 3 PM! It wasn’t lunch time anymore.
But the lunch box was nice, it was not paper box, but made from dry grass. Usually we use that kind of box for gifts/presents to put inside, but they use it for lunch box, hahaha…..

Alicia, new staff from KL, joined us on 2nd day. Bad thing happened as we found out that the extra bed was in living room, and it was a couch bed! The bed was thin, I can feel the wire underneath.

Another thing that Susan hasn’t changed yet, the first two days of exhibition we were always late. I don’t like being late, and we were having exhibition with our principal, she should know that better!!!!

I was only able to meet my sister on Saturday. I had plan to stay there starting on August 17. Unluckily, I could not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a great feeling to see your family member, the one is that really close to you.
Rara, my niece, would have her birthday on Aug 21. But again, I wouldn’t be there to celebrate. I should fly to Denpasar for this urology meeting.
So, I enjoyed and used the time I had before leaving. Went grocery shopping, had lunch at Pizzahut, watched rented VCDs, ate roasted fish, played fireworks, slept.

Susan, please don’t do this again. Please don’t leave me alone doing all of the job, I wanted to cry, I had no rest the whole week!!!!

(It’s not that I don’t allow her to take vacation, everyone needs it. It was just the situation I was in)

So many things to do, and only one me who would do those work! Susan went on holiday with her family for the whole weekend.

But then, there were two cases of capsule endoscopy that I must take care of. I even worked during public holiday, shoot!!!! It shoud be allright if everything went well, but I didn’t know what happened with the printer and the CDs of the movie I have saved for the doctors. They could not read it on their own PC.

One patient was a selebrity’s husband and another was the mother of a general. Wow….

I started very early in the morning, around 6 am, then got home around 9 or 10 pm during last Monday thru Wednesday.

For mass leave on Aug 18, I will claim it as my working day so office won’t cut my 1 day annual leave……RUGI bo’ !

I’m baaaaack!!!! After almost a week I had no time to log on to the net, especially to my lovely blog, I’m here again.
You would never imagine how I survived without the internet for a week, LOL…….
I always surf the net whenever I have time at home, after work. I chat with my net friends, update my blog, post pictures, etc.

With Susan on vacation the whole week, I had to cover her job too. And really, even my other colleagues never saw me in the office every day, this week. I was always on the road, from hospitals to another, took care of clients.
I went home exhausted, I went straight to bed. Didn’t even touch my laptop just to check work e-mails. I didn’t give a damn……..

I have been planning to reduce my time for internet.
I have a slow, a very slow internet connection, and it makes my surfing time less enjoyable. That will be one of the reason. And also I’m bored with messengers. My funny, cool net friends are seldom online. So I don’t have a nice conversation without them.
And using ESIA’s GPRS service is too much. Rp 5 per Kb!!!! It’s fast, but I’ll go broke faster.
I once had a bill of more than I expected (I won’t say the amount, you’ll be surprised!). That amount can be used to pay my house installment to the bank, pay my phone bill, and other things.
I experienced this twice! Yeah, twice.

Beside fun, I use the net for research. In the future, I’ll limit my self to this purpose, but I won’t forget to blog though!

AUGUST 17

My country is 61 year old now. It was our independence day.
It’s a little bit late to say it, but what can I do? Didn’t have time to log on to the net since Monday.

HAPPY 61st ANNIVERSARY INDONESIA

Be strong, be brave, gone are poverty, corruption, illiterracy!
