Rule number one: CONCENTRATE!!!

I am included in type of people who usually prepare everything on my own, to very detail. Except when my mind is not 100% on it. Then anything, literaly anything could happen :) Just like today..

My learning today:

1. Concentrate,

this should not happen: (my mind yesterday) "Tomorrow I am going to grab it before I leave to the airport, then put the charger into my bag, and have a telecon, o ya, I almost forgot, please remember tomorrow morning in the tele con not to forget asking details about the 1st events, and rite, in the early morning I have to go to the immigration to have my picture taken for my new passport which I will be using it in the afternoon, and o yea, my files, to be brought to the immigration, what? hey, I have to also get the money, mmhh what time is the bank open?"

........................

(my mind early morning) "yes, I will tell her to update you later on thursday while I am gone, and yes I can sign that for you. what? That event I dont remember signing it, but I can check it tomorrow morning when I have the time (and energy) okay. He cancel to join us next APCOC? what? well I have to call the RSMs, (mmhh aren't they suppose to call me instead?)

oops.. I am all sweaty that this women need to scan my fingers 4 times.. oorgghh, and ooopsp sir, sorry, I do not have a KTP, can I use the SIM instead? mmhh you need the original documents? OOOoopss.. I forgot to bring them, I left them on my desk in the office.. is it okay sir? (please.. stop rolling your eyes on me, ohhh now the lady from my office rolling her eyes)..... please..please...please... oh great!!! -by the way, this is really cool, i didnt wait for anything to get this passport done! - well.. back to office, .................... "riiiiiiiinggg.."  yes sir, 2 names, I need it now, wait there is an incoming call.. yes, sir, can it wait? I will call you at the airport while I'm waiting later okay, .. fiuh.. oopss.. I have to book the taxi or I will be late to the airport.  back to two names, okay, please text me the name as appeared on passport....

Good, now we can just end the telecon now, I have shoot all the questions needed, and now give it to my dear friend. Dont forget to help her to send all mails this week okay. Have to be this week! and yes the adlibs for event? Well okay, I have 5 min, I'll check them. Good. They're good to go!  ... and please don't forget to send the rundown to the speaker for next Thursday.  And yes this is the voucher please for that event. take it. Ah, my blouse! My new blouse, let me change into it now since I will be arriving late night in KL.. huhh why do I ever need to leave then.. and yes, I am on my way, grabbing the files, medicine, and  "let's go sir, airport please".... oh my God.. I forgot my charger!! Wait, good I still have time.. well, sir, (mr taxi driver) can we a little bit out of the route? exit this high way please? I need to buy a charger. Ooooo that's  a cellphone shop! stop there please.... What?? why on earth I can not use the "non original nokia charger"? I have to buy one. Oops it's already almost 4, okay, I'll pay for that dusty original one, please hurry, thanks, here is the money. " "let's go sir, now we are heading to airport, terminal 3, okay, the air asia"

2. Check everything before you fly anywhere!

(my mind at the airport) "is it the right terminal??"

"What???? This not the terminal? So I have to go to the other one?? okay ouch-- why is it so far away to the taxi stand... and why my laptop is so heavy? Also my lugage.. what did I put into it?  I have to run"
"I take that silver instead, nooo I can not wait 6 people on the line for the blue bird sir, please"
"yes to terminal 2 please, and please please hurry up!!!"

"Finally, finished check in,150thousand IDR? okay, here it is. oh goddd... I did not receive my money back from that cellphone store when I bought the charger! damn! arghhh I lost 70 thousand for nothing!!!! well well.... it will come back to me.."

"now, I have to go to the lounge and typing a note on my facebook.. o o o o... I have to give the copy of my NPWP to the tax free dept, damn, do i have the copy of it?"

"I think everything will go smoothly now.. oops.. yes money changer..RM ... okay i can grab it real quick just for the tips in KL later"

"I think I should put it in a note on facebook, so I can share it with you :) rite? what a great day today"

at the end, it was a great meeting in Kinabalu, Malaysia... a day to remember, it stamped well in my passport

(one day service to fly)

ps: mmhh it's not Kinabalu's trip, actually it's the Port Dickson's trip hahahaha
