finally back..

first week back from the client's place.. finally back in office.. ahh.. :) well, i was stationed at my client's place for almost 3 months (or more). interesting experience? well aside from seeing really nice expensive cars, my day is usually filled with answering phone calls, entertaining some fairly interesting questions, programming - which i though i would not be doing anymore, attending meetings, documentations, chassing after some users to complete their work we gave them, being chased by my boss to complete the work he gave me.. yup.. pretty interesting, huh?
most of the time, when we speak that we are going to the client's place, it automatically gives an impression as though, its something grand or important.. well, i used to think that way too. until i was there a lil too long. hahaa.. some of my friends started to think i'm stationed there forever and some of our clients wanted to hire us as their permanent staff. that was when we (the rest of us who were stationed at the client's place) started to give hints to our boss to station us back to office.

now that i'm finally back in office.. ahh.. nice. my table again, my friends around here, my cup that i regularly make my coffee in the morning (back in the client's place, i had to buy my teh-tarik!).. it is nice to be back in office. but reflecting back on the 3 months or more in the client's place, i did manage to learn alot.
1. i learned how to deal with the clients when they ask a lil too much questions
2. i learned to just listen to the client's pressure that they have to go through
3. i learned that my colleague and boss aint that scarry, in fact they're really fun to be with
4. i learned alot about my colleagues over lunch (since there were only 4 of us)
5. i learned that in the small group of people, it is easier to potray God's character

well, i'm not saying that i was all perfect during the time i was in the client's place but, i realised that when there is a smaller group, it is easier to potray God's character. well, also aside from the fact that we are the only familar face that we see everyday while trying to 'enjoy' our stay there. now that i'm back in office.. there's a bigger crowd. we're mixed with our different colleagues from different projects...

well, i hope.. or rather, i pray, that during the few months at the client's place, God's character was shown to the people that i encountered with.. ;)

in a brief

a long overdued blog.. hahahaha.. well, what's new? :D well, let see what can i update or bring to your interest on the interesting events that happened..

historical visit
well, not really a historical visit to the past or anything like that. had a company trip to a famosa and stayed in the resort. a really cool place actually. its huge.. it has different types of accomodations (hotels, apartments, condo).. it has different activities (golf, paint ball, horseback riding, night safari, plane flying - or something like that, basketball).. it has alot of visitors... fuh~ and what did i do there.. meeting, simple team building, and got sun burned. well, okie.. some of us visited the cowboy town... but i really wanted to go for the paint ball and the plane flying thingy.. hehe..
anywayz, what amazed me is, this was my second company trip i have attended. and thinking about my company trip last year.. too many things have changed. its amazing how in 1 year so many things have changed in my workplace alone. and how many of my colleagues have come in and went out and new ones come in (which are younger than me.. i suddenly feel old) but somehow, i still thank God for all experiences that He has brought me through to still stay in the same company .. hehe

relaxed week
after been working late hours and being bombardard by clients etc etc, i decided to take a week off. and the best part was the leave was solely for a break from work.. which means.. shopping! hahaha.. spend the most week preparing/reading the Out of the Saltshaker for cell notes. and the most 'interesting' thing that happened was, i was looking high and low for the book and thanx (a big bunch) to wai nyan, he got me the book. when i was at home, i proudly show to my mom the book and suddenly.. she goes to her collection of books and comes to me with the same book! she had it all this while!! oh well.. its not the first time. aside from that, occasional visit to the mall back home. and i actually bought more clothes there than in kl. haha

back to reality
back to work... oh well, everything good things just have to come to an end. back to work, back to stress week. but it was suprisingly not as hectic as i kinda expected it to be but still managed to be blur at work especially on monday. hahaha..

oh well, back to work now.. ;o)
