James Yeong’s Blogs

     Wow… It has been quite some time again I have left this blog untouched… 4 months since the last blog… I think my blog supporters are not keeping track on my blog anymore as I don’t have any updates…

     Well, like I mentioned before, work is busy over here… Year end is reaching, and it is a busy period for event company… Quite free today, so take this opportunity to update my blog… Like I mentioned in my previous blog, yes, I have travelled to Korea for 3 times & I’m traveling there again next month for 8 days… Gee… Korea again… I think I should get a Korea lady over there, right? LOL…

     Well, I have graduated in March & my convo was on 16 September 2007 as there is only 1 convo ceremony per year and it was held in KL Convention Centre… Guess you guys have seen the pics that I have posted in my friendster… Nothing much to comment as it has already past & it will take some time for me to study again as I still wanna enjoy my working life without exam stress & anxiety…

     Along the way from the past 4 months, some close classmates have left the country to further thier study at overseas… Peggy & Kai Wan were those that I’m closed enough to aware their leaving to London… Hope they are doing well there… Saw some of their pics and I’m happy that they are getting along with their new friends and environment… All the best to them & keep in touch…

     Time is really flying without us realizing it… It is now October and 2 and a half month more we will come to the end of year 2007… It is almost time to review back what have happened this year to improve next year life… Hmmm… What I really wanted to comment is that I am exhausted of traveling around Asia… Just so tired… Coming these 2 - 3 months, still have to travel to Korea & Bangkok again… I think I can be the tour guide for these 2 places… Well, as long as I’m happy & enjoying my job, I guess it won’t form a barrier for me to discontinue my journey…

   Guess that’s all for now, nothing much in this blog but just wanna make sure that I’m still exist in this blog… Definitely not dead yet… LOL… take care every1…

     Wow… After such a long time I left this blog untouched… 4 months to be exact… Well, my final exam has already passed and past… Even though I didn’t get top student as I always wanted to be but I was happy with the results I have obtained… I know where is my weakness and strengths… It doesn’t really a matter anymore because that was 2 months ago… I graduated from Taylor’s College School of Hospitality & Tourism on 24th March 2007… Convocation yet to come, in August 2007 I supposed…

     Soon after my graduation, I have been offered back to the event management company (Incentive, Convention, Events & Meetings Planner) that I have gone thru my internship last year August 2006… I started to work on 28th March 2007 as an Project Executive… I have my own desk (of course), my own name cards, my own pc (that’s why u see me online with "Busy" status in MSN), my own music players(LOL - hey, I can listen to the latest Hits when I work, ok? Quite a lot of freedom)…Time really flies like I always said… It has been 2 months down the road and I’m very satisfied of my current job… Some of my classmates might have got their full time job offer also and some of them might working part time while waiting for Degree starting end of next month and some of them might go overseas… Where ever you guys are, I wish you guys all the best and remember, Keep in touch… Really missed every1 of you… Eventhough working in the event line is kinda busy but sometimes I’ll steal some of the time to think of all of you and browse thru your friendster to see any updates from you all… Contact me when you guys are free… I’m available on weekends (Sat & Sun) if there is no event… If weekdays, hmmm… might be quite busy due to uncertain job loads… Sometimes might finish work at 6pm and sometimes 7-8pm… Traveling in KL is a nightmare… U need to take 1 hour to drive home… By the time I rch home, I’m just too tired to move around and will sit either in front of the tv or in front of the pc… Unless it is a very important appoinment, if not, I’ll never move my butt away from my cozy sofa… NEVER… LOL…

     When I joined the company, the 1st trip that I get to go is Korea and that was from 25-28 April… And I’m going there again this Friday, 8 June for 2 days 1 night for hotel inspection for a coming conference… This is the 1st project for me to handle individually with 240 paxs in Seoul, Korea from 2nd - 5th July… This means that I’ll need to go Korea for the 3rd time from 30th June to 6th July for this conference… After this Korea trip, I need to travel to Kunming, China from 27th - 30th July for a smaller group meeting at 100 paxs… And after that, I have to travel to Bangkok, Thailand from 15th - 18th August for another meeting at 200paxs… Wow… It’s like traveling non-stop within these 2 months… Gonna be extremely busy & tired in July & August… That haven’t counted local meetings and conferences which happened in the same months… These 2 months are really busy and peak months for event companies… Guess I can only be contacted through my emails… or maybe MSN if I have time to Online… People, you can buzz me in msn if u wanna chat with me, ok??? Eventhough I always put my status "Away" or "Busy", SOMETIMES I’m available… If I didn’t reply your private message in MSN, means that I’m either very busy like no days and nights or I’m really away from keyboard (AFK)…

     Well, that was about my study and working life… My own private life, sigh… Long to write… Well, let’s suspend it to the next blog, if everything goes fine and if I’m free tomorrow, probably will update it again… Will try my best to keep it updated… Don’t want to make this blog long again… I know I’m long winded like usual… LOL… Well, let’s see when is the next update… Take care everyone… Love u guys…

     LOVE!!! These few days were being haunted so badly by this word… It can never stop flashing in my mind… I can’t stop thinking of ***… For my TCHT classmates, this person is not the person that u think of, is another person who jz appear in my life admiting that this person is ***… I know is very mystery but who am I to reveal ***… the time has not come yet… maybe *** is the person whom I am seeking for but at the mean time, why *** appears now?! You know how much tension I am confronting now with my final exam just around the corner but *** appears in my life now… should I approach or should I jz remain my step?!… but what if I missed this chance?! Would I be able to have *** back after another 2 months??? Love and life is hard to predict…

     Was having gastric yesterday afternoon bcoz I skipped my breakfast… Gosh, u can’t imagine how pain it was… I was like between "hell and earth" (is it such an idiom) and the pain made me lost my energy, strength, soul and everything… my whole body was sweating but no1 seems to really care except asking "Are you okay? U wanna go hospital"… What should I do that time? Nothing but to force a fake smile and replied, "NO"… But luckily, and angel Peggy was so nice and kind enough to lend me her heart to share my pain… Thanks for buying me the gastric medicine and a bottle of water… Really help me a lot… Appreciate it 1000 times… And Ms Sophie text me today asking whether am I feeling okay… Thanks for the concern Ms Sophie…

     Well, today, someone saw me holding a stick of something with fumes… She was so unhappy and text me a msg saying that I was telling a lie to her and her friend that I promised them not to touch this stick… Hey, sorry, ok??? Just once in a rare blue moon… It has been a couple of months I did not touch those… I think sometimes, if we need to socialize, we need to hold it also… As long as I know that I’ll not get addicted to it…

     This blog contains many unknown and mystery words and meanings… Only meant to those who understand what I felt these few days… Feeling of missing *** so much now but I can’t do anything… Thinking of sending *** a text msg, but better not to create chaos… Concentrate on my exam 1st maybe… Sighh… Why this thing appears now?!… Hope my destiny and luck will guide me thru this narrow and challenging path… Good Luck James Yeong… You can do it I believed…

     Decided to update this blog at last… I have really no idea what had happened to me this new semester in TCHT… Or I should say my last semester in TCHT (cross my fingers and pray hard that I would make it thru)… Today and yesterday supposingly time has been allocated by myself to do my analysis of my TIS(Technical Industrial Study)… I have to re-do my analysis as my tutor said it is not good enough and I’m doing performance analysis but I did not compared the issues that I analysed with the actual performance against the standards… Seriously, I could never thought that actually I did not use these 2 days to do things that I have planned initially…

     Like usual, Saturday is considered as my day off and I would never touch my homework nor my assignments, even during exam week, I seldom study on Saturday… So yesterday, I went out with my classmates (Peggy, Woon, Lim & Owen)… I joined them at Low Yat Plaza and then we proceed to Times Square… My spirit of doing my TIS came to me after I come back from the town, but I keep on telling myself I should give myself a break as it is Saturday… This is me, I always follow my instinct and own instinct direction, so it ended up that I did not touch my TIS at all yesterday…

     Supposingly, I should have done it today… I woke up at 11am, planning to do my TIS but I ended up watching tv, online, eat and the worst I actually slept for another 4 hours in the afternoon… As any other friends of mine know, 1 of my hobbies is sleeping, can’t deny… I just love to sleep… Sleep always kill me… my 4 hours just past without any purpose… After I woke up, I planned to do my TIS but I don’t have mood… I went out to eat with parents and came back, there I am again… Sitting at my cozy sofa and watch tv again… I’m wondering what had happened to me?! This question keep on playing in my brain… Yet I still can’t the answers… My trial exam is just 6 more weeks from now I believe (correct me if I’m wrong), yet I’m still relaxing here… Lecturers asked us, "Don’t u all start to panic now and scared for the exam?"… Well, the answer for myself is not at this moment… Maybe for me, the word ’scared’ only appears the night before the exam where I have not fully prepared for it… But what I need now is to concentrate on my study… Nowadays  I sleep quite late at night (consistently at 3am)… I can hardly concentrate on my revision and study in class due to my TIS and tiredness due to lack of sleep… I can only fully concentrate after I finish my TIS but I just like to postpone everything and I just like to hide myself behind this TIS… Sigh… Any1 can help me??? Motivation??? Should I need 1?! Or myself is the best motivator??? Well, nvm… just to express myself in another of my lengthy blog…

     Wish everything would go well as what I have planned for my future… Really hope that I can finish up my TIS within these 2 days… With the blessing from God, I hope I can do it… I think the only thing that I can do best now is seeking blessing from God?! Or perhaps praying hard to my own instinct that I would execute what I have planned… Or perhaps any1 out there would be kind enough to give me any healthy suggestions?! HELP ME!!! Really squeezing my brain hard enough to find the answers yet I still can’t… Or this is called LIFE?! Or maybe there is really a solution to it?! Going to be insane soon… Darn… Save me pls… Where is my saviour???

     First of all, as a follow up from my previous post, I would like to thank ppl who had read my previous blogs esp Gladys and Peggy who have left comments for me… Thanks for ur comment… Nevertheless, I realised that my 5th resolution of 2007 has captured many attention… LOL… Well, it’s just a resolution anyway, just wish it will become reality, so nothing much I can wish, rite? Hehe…Anyway, thanks to every1 who had spent a little of your precious time to read my post, eventhough u did not leave any comments…

     Come back to the main topic of this post… Today really so tired but still wanna update my blog bcoz I’m so dedicated to update it… Dunno why… LOL… Today after class, at 1pm, I went for lunch in our college pratical restaurant namely L’escoffier… Had lunch with Gladys, Pei Poh and Mr Yeoh (our French lecturer)… Then went to library for a meeting with Mr Adrian regarding on the 50th Independence project that have been pending since last year. Thank God at last we had made up a decision and has started with a proposal… I’m involved in some part of the proposal, so gotta do it within this weekend…

     After that, I had a drink (yam cha) with Pei Poh and Gladys at mamak stall in our college (Uma Curry Hse)… I was thinking of watching movie bcoz it was quite boring and they seems like don’t really agree with that… So after a while, Peggy came and join us… With her arrival, she has suggested to go to Redbox Sunway Pyramid… Without thinking long enough, I had spontaneously agreed bcoz it has been a while I did not go karaoke… So my 2 fellow lovely and pretty friends also agreed… We reached there about 6pm and sang until 10.30pm… We have sang quite a number of songs and I really enjoyed myself bcoz it’s a medium for me to release my stress before attempting the final exam which is 2 and a half months from now… Feel so happy bcoz I sang my heart out and some rock songs, we were shouting like mad fellow, but it’s enjoying bcoz that’s a way of releasing tension… LOL… Found out that Gladys has a very nice vocal esp when singing Malay songs… Hehe… Should keep it up, try to go further(Malaysian Idol, Astro Talent Quest, Akademi Fantasia also not bad)… Peggy was not left behind too, she can sings very well too, some high chord tune she can manage to balance it and sang it sweetly… And of coz our Pei Poh, tried her best to sing cantonese songs… haha… but she can sing well as well, nice voice… Every1 so perfect in singing… Bravo… Hopefully, we’ll have this lovely time together again in the future, ok???

     Well, it’s already 12.10am and I’m really very tired… Gotta stop here for this time… Will keep my blog updated more frequent if I have time… Okay, take care ppl…Ciaozz… ZZZzzzz…

     First and foremost, I would like to wish every1 Happy New Year 2007… Wishes all ur new year resolutions will come true and have a great year ahead…

      The year of 2007 has just started and I of coz have my own resolution throughout the year… First, of coz I wish I have a good health, it’s extremely important as a good health helps me to achieve my goals easily… 2ndly, I need to study hard for my last term in Taylor’s College, after this I will never have the chance to study anymore, not until I further my study to Master after some years of working… So gotta enjoy my college life while I can (just 2 and a half months left)… 3rdly, I’m going to work in event management company again I believe, just wish that the company will have many interesting events and can travel around again… and of coz I wish I can get a higher pay bcoz I’m not depending on my parents anymore on financial matter… 4th, wish I can get a car by the middle or at least quarter end of the year… ermm… maybe not local car or MYVI as every1 is asking me to change to that car… din see anything so special about that car… 5th and last resolution, wish can get a lover… haha… quite boring living alone, no1 to love and being loved… LOL… it’s a part of life, so of coz I can’t leave that… Well, of coz depends on fate and other factors…

      Today, is the 1st day of class in term 6… Term 6 is the last study term in higher diploma and I gotta work extra harder to get a distinction pass of coz… Many ppl asked me: "I thought you should be enjoying college life and I think at least a pass will do, right?"… Well, my answer to that is: "I think u dun have a dynamic and strong goal for ur future, I believe u set a very low success rate for urself and u’ll be satisfies with it"… Gosh, come on guys, I do enjoy my college life and I studied last minutes as any other does… It’s just that I pay more attention in class and do some research when I’m free… If I’m aiming for just a simple pass, I think James Yeong would never exist and he is dead from the world… As my close friends know, I always aim for the best nevertheless in study or any of my daily routine works… Challenges bring me more mature and understand the World better… So I advise u guys out there, please set ur goal a bit higher, if u can’t achieve it, u’ll look back and spot for the mistakes and that’s where u aware and learn from mistakes…

     Anyway, my classmates, let’s put our hands together and we shall walk it thru this Term… Hardest road to cross throughout the course but let’s us work harder and we shall see the great impact or results of our hardwork… Whilst, at the same time, enjoy our college life while we still can… Short term but a lot to study… Will surely miss u guys after the term ended… Every1 will have their own goal to achieve and we will be separated… But I do cherish all the moments being together with my classmates… Thanks for everything… Love u guys… Muaaakkkkss……

   Today think of updating my blog. Well, a long story again… LOL… Having holidays now like any other students do… Well, as TCHT student, we only have max. 2 weeks holidays… The 1st week already past and it was a bz week… Straight away after exam on Friday(15/12), I have a dinner with my ex-training company(my future employer), on Saturday I have gone to the Halo Charity Concert… The concert was kinda boring at some part bcoz many uncle and aunty singers whom we dunno, so it was bored listening to oldies… Luckily there are many young artistes who capture our attention such as Guang Liang, Daniel Lee, Ling Yi Chung, JJ, Ah Du, and many mores…

   On the following day(Sunday), I have gone to Port Dickson with my Year 1 TCHT classmates… It was kinda ok but there are some defect areas which causes some of us not too happy I guess… Anyway, with the hope of getting to the beach for relaxing, we ended up playing volley ball at a volley ball court, bcoz the beach and the sea water are too dirty… We were there for 1 day and 1 night and we went home in the next morning…

   On Tuesday (19/12), I have gone to Kuala Selangor to visit my sister who has married to there… I was helping her to do something and at the same time enjoying the seafoods and the environment there which is of coz different from KL… On the last day of my trip, I was thinking of go home but my classmates, Peggy and Pei Poh invited me to their place which are Sekinchan(15mins from K. Sel) and Sungai Besar(30mins from K. Sel)… I went to Peggy’s hometown at Sekinchan on 22/12… We went there for lunch at a seafood restaurant… After that we have gone to Peggy’s mansion for a chat and we have talked a lot of stuffs… Later, we went to Pei Poh’s hometown at Sungai Besar for a visit and we had our dinner there… So when dawn arrived, we went back to Sekinchan and we overnight at Peggy’s hse… We chatted a lot that night until I was asleep and they continue to chat… I was too tired… Wondering did I said anything that I supposed not to say when I was asleep… LOL…

   Well, 1 week of enjoyment has past just in a blink of eyes and this week is another busy week again… Need to rush my Technical Industrial Studies Report… It’s a matter of life and death for my higher diploma bcoz without it, I wouldn’t be able to pass my higher diploma… Need to do a report with quality and reliablility… Need to start it today but don’t really have much mood so here I am to blog… Hopefully will be able to finish it on time…

   At the same time, was worrying about the exam that was just past… I think I did quite badly for my Budgetting exam… Can’t really answer… Was surprise what was taught by the lecturer did not came out… So, for me I was really doubt how to answer… Sigh… Guess this term my marks will be left behind again… Next term is my last studying semester in TCHT for my higher diploma… Have to work really hard…

   But frankly, I dun really much mood to study nowadays… Maybe my training in the event management has changed my perception?! Maybe I want to come out to the industry and work… For me, hotel line is definitely a ‘NO!NO!’… After training in the hotel, it has broaden my point of view of this industry… My future career will start with event management and maybe will proceed to other industry… Well, 1 thing good about Hotel Management course is that u have a wider options in the career paths bcoz what we learn is not only about hotel but management as a whole…

   Every1 asks me whether I wanted to continue my degree, and my answer is very obvious by now which is ‘No!’… I think experieces are deemed much more important rather than the knowledge that u obtained from the books… Nowadays, ur empoyer would like to see ur experience and the way u handle a task and not to see ur paper qualifications… trust me, u can buy those paper from some universities or colleges just with a sum of money, but do u have the experience… It’s clear that u don’t… So every1, pls stop asking me the same old question again… Tired of answering it already…

   That’s all for this time but like normal, such a long essay… Will try to keep it short next time… Wondering who will so free and read this essay… Haha… Ciaoz…

   Here I am again with another blog… Quite dissapointed of having a LAME classmates… Gosh, u really have no idea how lame the whole class is… Sigh… Today when Ms Lisa Tung, our Sales & Marketing lecturer asked our class to volunteer to help up during a conference in our college, you guess what?! No one seems to care… Only the Grp 3 members are so keen but not Grp 1 and 2… I am belong to the Grp 1 and Grp 2, and that was my classmates since last term… A boring life I have to say, but what to do, I have chosen my own path to study in the management option…

   Sigh… I believe my classmates would have viewed this blog, but this is what is happening out there… No harm to report the reality… How am I suppose to survive happily in this environment??? Anyway, luckily I still have my own friends whom I can still hang out happily… Going for clubbing later… I think either Zouk or Espanda or some where at that area?! Still haven’t confirmed… Try to release my tension of the week also… Have been so bz with assessments, it’s time to take a short break 1st and then will continue my journey a.k.a war…

   Wow, my spirits of blogging are back… Updating my blog again after yesterday… LOL… Quite an enjoying day today… This morning attended 1 class that is the most boring class of all… But today the class finished very fast… About an hour only… So me, Pei Poh and Jin Hong went to Sunway Pyramid… I refuse to drive there bcoz nowadays is very jam and harly can find parking if drive there bcoz they are having construction for Pyramid 2… So rather take cab but ends up we walk there… LOL…

   Talking about walking to Pyramid, wow… such a long time I didn’t walk for such a ‘quite long’ journey… About 15mins… Anyway, quite good bcoz can activate my sweat glands… haha… Long time didn’t exercise… We were thinking of watching a movie but all the movie start after 1pm… So we decided to walk around… There’s a bazaar in Pyramid now, at the old Giant’s lot… Pei Poh and Jin Hong bought something while I did not… Planning to go tomorrow with my mum so she can pay for me… hehe…

  After that, we went for Thai Steamboat at Dusit Thai Restaurant… The food was just okay… Not much difference from all the steamboat restaurants that I have been to… Still prefer the 1 in Sri Petaling… Really darn nice… We were there for 2 hrs and chatted a lot… Like usual, I can’t stop talking and at the same time, Peggy msg me to inform me about our class at 2pm has cancelled… while eating, have to call and text to inform all my classmates…

   Since the class at 2pm has cancelled, we went for bowling at Pyramid Bowl… Wow… Such a long time I didn’t go for this sport… Thinking back of those time in Secondary school, I’m such a good bowler… Haha… Same as today, I was leading for 2 games that we played… Maybe my competitors are not that great… Anyway, it’s not about competition, it’s about fun and I do enjoyed it…

   Well, I’m in college now and since there is about an hour to go before my next class start at 4pm, so I must take this golden opportunity to update my blog… Right, that’s all for this time… Gonna go to my class soon… Everyone out, there, take care and Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya… Maaf Zahir dan Batin… Ciaoz…

   Hmmm… About 1 and a half month I did not touch this blog… Today makes me wanna leave something here… I thought of writing about my 21st birthday celebration but too much to write, will summarize and write it next time bcoz my main concern this time is not on my 21st birthday… Anyway, I enjoyed so much that day… Thanks to my friends and buddies… Muakss…

   Finished my training last 3 weeks, and life has to go on again… I thought I would be happy and enjoy class but this term seems like everything so dull and boring to me… Don’t have so much feel and instinct to study… The lecturers this term are quite boring… and the subjects are so darn boring… sh**… turn my day down almost everyday except Ms Mun Yee’s class today… She is really a good lecturer… Must compliment… That’s the style I wanted to see to keep me awake and interested to study… Rooms Division and F&B theories are all so boring and don’t have much mood to study bcoz the book is so thick… Just like my Form 6 Biology book… Gosh… Only 3 months, study so much… Can input meh???

   In addition to that, why most of my classmates are so quiet and not spotting??? Sigh… I mean Group 1 & 2 specifically… Make me no spirit and no fun at all when attending class… Luckily Peggy’s gang have something attractive to be seen… If not, it will be just like previous term, so bored and unactived… Where is my Term 1, 2 & 3 friends’ spirits??? Tze Imm, Kai Wan, Ajit, Yoko, Khai Lee & Shi Yuan miss u all so much… Everytime I see you guys, I’ll think back of Term 1,2&3… How I wish these days can be replaced by those days… Everyday, after class will straight away go back… What Peggy said is true, everyday we all rush to go home… Haha… I also don’t know why but that’s the routine since previous term… Make us no interaction at all… Can’t get to know each and every1 closer… What to do??? It had happened and still happening and everything can’t change… Who am I to change it??? Just keep this routine going on… Just another 5 months to go…

   What I can hope now??? Just wish time will pass by faster which is going on now and also with to finish my higher diploma faster and start to work perhaps… Still thinking wanna continue my Degree or not… Let fate determines it…  Also wish I can get along with my new classmates… They are quite happening even though not as happening as my previous classmates… LOL… No offend… hehe…
