My current work place

I work for my own, my family now. I no longer working for bosses. Things has change in 2011. I jump out from semicon, step into a whole new world, whole new industry. Which i know ZERO. A lot of things i have learn thru out the setup of the shop, every little things, tiny little things, u need to take care.

But, there is no shortcut, you need to do it step by step. Of cos, without my family back me up, it will be tougher. Thanks God they are here by my side.

My photostat machine.

My work station are full of post it note... i am having gold fish memory!

ah dear's calculator, being stolen by me. Anyway, she help me to decorate the calculator...hahhaa...nice & heavy!

A family portrait around me, remind me to find more money to feed them. This pics has magic, it gives me strength and power to go on and on...

Always my energy drink...plain water...

Now, here is the full view from my shop. Cool? It's a panaroma function from one of display camera. Just trying out the functions. And lady in the pic is my mom, she come to my shop to help me out daily. I love you, ma!

Pls help to retouch for me

It has been entering the 3rd week of running Jajemi Foto. Well, i have learn many things already. So many thing to do, so many things to think. I even will think what to do for tmr every nite b4 i went to bed.

There are few cases customer ask me to retouch the valuable photos. One is her mother's "car front" photo! He wants me to retouch the bad condition. Some part of the photos has been eaten by termites, and due to moisture, the photos stick on glass and being peel off. I took a look on the photos and i replied him with a big smile "Yes, boleh buat!" He paid the money and i promise to give him 2days with very very minimal charge for retouch. Once i have done with it, i sms him to come collect, i can see his face of relief after seeing the photos. I felt superbly happy when i see my customer happy with my service or works. To be honest, working on a "car front" photos is quite....errrrr.....scaring. I received this case during evening time, alone in the shop, when the customer left the photo with me, i dun dare to look into it until my sister come over to help me out.

So, i fast fast take out the photos, snap it with my A550, start to PS while there are accompany....hahahah. I will not show you the photos due to privacy and respect to the one who pass away. So, now the customer got a new photo with softcopy. He is more than happy with that! I think...

Another case, no negative, only hardcopy. Want me to retouch and put on some colour. This is more challenging. I said i will do my best.

This is the original copy. So i paste it on a plain A4, take picture.

Start retouch the peel off part. Once done, i add in the colours layer by layer...

Here is the final prints...How is it? Amazing...i love it. Fantabulous!

Cool me down

Superbly hot weather for the past few days. Alone in my shop one day, no one with me, no customer, not at peak hour...(i oso dunno when is peak hour)...hahahha.

It been quite a long time i din had any cola, so i sneakout, lock my magnetic door and went to nearby s99 speedmart to buy one for myself.

I had my 1st sip....it was fantabulous ah! It cool me down right away. Wat a bliss... 

But then, while i still have half bottle, mom come over with a glass of COLD FRESH Orange juice! She ask me to drink...then i show her my cola, immediately her face black black and scolded me! whahahaha.... Pls la...i long long time din drink cola liao...dun always think i drink very frequent la... Not true! Not true! I seldom drink one.

One small lil experiment i found out is... when u feel very very hot and beh tahan, go n get urself an ice cool drink, be it sluuuuuurpeee from 7-11 or any other can drinks from elsewhere. It will definitely cool you down, and half way drinking, u will start feeling cold liao. The most effective one is sluuuuuuuuuuurpee... ;p

Go try it out if you beh tahan the hot hot weather nowadays!

Jajemi Foto Station - Opening 21.04.2011

My shop open on 21.04.2011. 1st day of biz, i am a bit kan-cheong, a bit messed-up, a bit angry bird...etc.

The technician from supplier is supportive enough to arrive at 10am to help me out with the setup. To be honest, the machine is still lacking of something, condition isn't that ideal. That's why technician is needed.

Well that is the front portion/entrance of my shop.

The greeting flowers start coming in one by one.. i am suprise and happy even though i have ask all my friends not to send me flowers... i nearly drown in a seas of flowers... This above is from all my siblings.

This is from my cousins.

This is from my 2nd BIL.

There are more coming in and i could not manage to take photos.

Blue and bright sunny day!

Hanging cabinets for my albums, frames...etc.

My other cabinets for frames, storage and cameras...

My counter...place i seat most of the time. "BOSS" place...hahahaa...

That's my "vios" that cannot be driven... and no wheels!!! i hope it can last as long as my real vios!

My display area... i love it! Small but nice!

The accessories area...

My ever kan-cheong mom and my ever helpful sis! I love both of you! Thanks for everything and the patience!

Adrian dropping by at nite and as usual, we had a decent chat, changing ideas and inspire each other with some useful tips/thinking. I really love to chat with him since i knew him during his days in NS.

The very "leong" pose that you can find it in every biz magazine.

I wish to take this chance to thank my family who supported me thru out the setup. My friends who come over to my shop to support me, u know who u r... Thank you. I feel really warm although my face expression is rather kan-cheong than happy. !st day mah...abit hiccup here and there...need to be iron out. My relative who come over too, thank you for your support, valuable opinions.

*******************************************************

So, here, i am on my own now, i wish to dedicate a song to all to represent my feelings now.

Jajemi Foto Station - update on 19.04.2011

19.04.2011, 11.09am

Signboard is installing now... i am inside my shop having my very 1st batch of prints. Listening to music from ipod in an empty shop. I have been on-site training for two days, learning how to handle day-to-day operation. I certainly have my own way of doing my own things, my own photos, my own colour decision, so, it's my call, my quality! I am still learning how to tolerate blur prints... i will do my best to adjust it.

Machine is up and running now, nothing much but to get myself use to it. Machine operation to me.... is nothing but to "play" more and use to it. For empty shop, stocks will be coming in later today, once arrive, i will start to decorate/display it in my expensive cabinets.

What else i need to do? I am just being too kan-cheong for now. Always worry that there is something not done yet... c'mon jack... its show time... my SHOW time! aja aja fighting!

Jajemi Foto Station

Tadaaaa.... sneak peek of my lil' shop...

A yellow/orange colour bg for my counter...the place where i am going to sit and work on the photos... the back must be strong and bright to support me! This is only my concept/thinking... not related to any auspicious thing! And the tiles is ready now, it makes the whole shop so bright, its wat i want. i am so happy when i see its ready!

My cousin is working on the lectrical points, my down lights... almost ready... by the time i post it, it is ready liao.

My front portion of my shop, super expensive tempered glass... no choice... it make the shop look nicer.

My soon to be studio, small size, i hope i can shoot some family portrait here.

Brand new 2HP york cassette ceiling aircond, RM2800...expensive la... but again...it look nice... teehee...i know..i m spending... its abit on track now..i hope the cabinets won't be exceed my plan budget...

Till then... let me show you more when i got the shop ready in middle of April, i hope... *finger cross*

Another challenge of my life

It's been quite sometime i did not update this blog here. Been busy building my other career, my photoblog. Lotsa wedding shoot in month of march. In the mean time, i also busy with my main job as a sales, new year new strategy, new plan. Need to visit customer often for new projects. Bosses has given me pressure to perform...

Well, tat's life for a sales person, only results matter, not how many customer u see, how many project u got...it the $ales they concern...

I have tender my resignation on 21st of Feb 2011, and official last day is on 31st March 2011. This is agreement btw me, HR and my boss. So, after clearing leaves, my last working day is on 24th March 2011. So, now, i have been Melaka-KL to check out my renovation.

Oh, i forgot to mention...i m starting my own biz in photography. I opening a photo shop in Selayang, my hometown. Renovation is in progress now. I will share some photos when i have more free time. The shop will be selling cameras, accessories, developing photos, passport photos...etc. It's call <JAJEMI FOTO STATION>

How i feel now? Happy of cos! i am fighting for my own, doing sales for my own...it very much depends my effort. So, the more i do the more i get (i hope...) =)

Year 2011, its a new challenge year to me! I hope i can achieve something in my life and this is a small step for me! Let's pray i can do something here...

Huat ah!!!!!!

I love my current job

I love it because it gives me satisfaction. Feels great to help ppl. It gives me freedom to do the way i like.

I even buy my own tools to work extra. All this are mine and i willing to give extra.

I dun mind to spend a lil, but to get my jobs done. Besides, i look more professional with all these tools.

~bala bap bap ba~ I'm loving it!

我的工作

人家总说我好，在家上班。。。有苦自己知，同行知。。。

我们常在外面跑的，他们以为我们很多时间，以为我们睡的很晚才起身工作。哇靠！那是老板才有的待遇啊！

我们晚上应酬顾客的时候，你们在睡觉。我都喝那些不是我要点的饮料，身边莫名其妙的坐着一堆恐龙妹。。。很好吗？ 被人当傻子般的耍，叫你来不是当你朋友，找你是付钱的吧了。。。省点吧，朋友！酒肉的就有啦。明天依照一早爬起来上班。。。身体是累的，眼睛睁不开的，头是晕的，昨晚的衣服是臭烟味的，被熏出来的连内裤都臭。

没有基本的尊重，你被人小看，被人玩。。。不好受的啊！



我泊车泊的老远的，还有时候为了没有停车位而压力起来。时间紧迫，路边吗？会被抄牌吗？干！先泊了再说。把车子泊的远远，太阳总是不给脸，背着重重的一堆，烈日当空，吃力地走向目的地。人还没到，汉却不由自主的从全身细小的毛孔拼了老命的冒出来。衣服湿了，“隔肋低”很不舒适。。。有谁懂？你们在公司里面吹冷气！




好了，到了“吃蕉”室，气都喘不过来，还要保持笑容的跟“吃蕉们”打招呼，为了要讨好他们，狗一点是没办法的。还要填一堆有的没的表格，够白痴吗？难道不能环保点？

点好了，还要等要见的人，有时候碰见那些超忙的人，好运的话等个10分钟，运气不好嘛一小时以上咯。要打电话催吗？不太可能，人家是顾客。所以，只好发个短讯提醒一下。还说没关系，慢慢来。如果不行，我可以先回去，改天再来约。

就算见了还要被埋怨给人添麻烦，浪费他们的时间，害他们赶来赶去。哇靠！

如果产品不好，进去会被干番了！还要保持笑容哦！幸好，我练了“无吊神功”，我耳朵是聋的，左耳进右耳出，脑子吸收50%就好。那样才可以生存下来。

每次进厂，都很怕，好像进监牢似的，没有通讯，没有朋友，没有人可怜你。。。

这。。。就是sales！为的是养活几个口。。。那。。。你们还认为这些工好做吗？还会对我们说“你就好咯！酱好的工！”

同行们，辛苦了，大家一起加油吧！

我看见了“神”

星期五，因工作需要一早回到总公司报到。忙了一天，过得很充实。

也开会到很迟。十点才离开公司。

心情当然归心似箭咯！

一个人在高速公路的飞驰。

看一看时钟，十一点半晚上，旁边的限速110，而我通常都会飙到140以上。

但是今天我失常了，

我怀疑是一杯越南咖啡加上两杯印度拉茶在我身体里作祟，

正当我要开始猛飙的时候，突然有一张脸出现在我脑海。。。

他是谁？对！他是“神”，我的“神”（Son）

就酱，我把油门放轻，速度降到110，乖乖的跟着。

安全到达目的地。。。时间也差不了多久嘛。

Wanton Mee -- Lucky draw

Suspend my phoneline immediately found out i have lost my phone. Went to nearest Digi center for a replacement simcard. Thinking in my heart, damn shit, lost handphone lagi wanna pay for the sim card. Manatau it's free! Ini baru la good service, ppl already lost handphone, u lagi mau charge for sim card replacement, Maxis, balik la lu...

I hate myself being so careless...my 1st time ever lost personal belongings...tiu!

God create all, give life to everything.

When it is time to blossom, it blossom.

It's just matter of time.

For those friend who are still waiting for the chance.

I pray to God to grant us enough patient.

To wait for the right time, right chance!

长远计划？勇气？钱？时间？

不晓得！

脑袋好多鬼点子，需要好好的把它写下来，再规划。

CNY greeting cards

Company cut budget...this year no greeting cards. Only e-card provided.

Well, to me, e-card is environment safe but still no feel...

Hard copy has more feel... I believe some of my customer still like to received hard copy greeting cards.

So, I managed to get some for my customer.






Not company one leh...sendiri one, ok? Get the company stamp, stamp sendiri lorrrr. Wat to do?!



Envelope oso must stamp, so that the receiver know who is it ma...




See properly ah...my company's stamp...

Wrote something on it...more sincere... I hate those cards with nothing written one...not sincere at all... So, I dun want my customer feel the same way...I wrote something la... I know the writting is so ugly...but no choice la... hahahaha...

Done! ready to be handover one by one...

Happy Chinese New Year!

新年快乐！

万事如意！

This is my standard wishes...hahahah.

Anyway, who cares?! At least I got heart ah...chui meh...

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you whom reading this now!
