Totally tiring days (TTD) Part 1

I had two straight productive days, business-wise. On Monday, I had a meeting with a supplier, which happened to be a competitor to my previous company, which also happened to be the first company that I started my career. Confusing? hehe..Well, I jumped from my first company to a competitor's company, that is. Both companies offered the same products, and now I hated both companies, but I had to make one of them an ally for my current big project. We are having a problem with this deal currently because as per normal, people with contacts LOVE to steal projects and would like to 'makan atas angin' no matter how the other party sweat and bleed to start that project and did all the ground work. Just because you know this somebody or that, you DEMAND and THREATEN the supplier to work with you instead of with the other party when the deal is about to materialize already. I screwed the supplier big time, and since they knew how I work and they knew that I can make their lives a living hell, they called me for a meeting so that at least I don't come home at the end of the day empty handed despite all that I have done. They still need me as an ally for future projects (of course I told them that this would be the last time that I want to work together with them!) Tau takut!! Hehe.. The portion of the $$ would be very, very much smaller compared to the earlier forecast, but at the present state of condition, I don't really have a choice because I don't play golf with SOMEBODY..hehe... Something is definitely better than nothing kan? Should I take up golf after this? But it will be a long way la pulak to get to know who's who kan? Takpelah, at the current condition, I prefer to be an ikan bilis rather than ikan jerung..Sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit kan? Well, real insight into the business world..

After that I met an old friend for lunch and gossips catchup. Thanks babe for the lunch! It was a good meeting with talks about life in general and it was so nice to chat like nobody's business, just like the good ol'days at the uni (we were best buddies from matric to degree). During lunch, I got a call which went something like this:

A: Dura! This is XXX.
Me: Yes En XXX. Anything?
A: Esok you kena datang sini la.. Kita ada price nego session dengan Tan Sri. You kena datang pukul 9.30-10.30am. Ajakla MD you sekali sebab Tan Sri nak jumpa.
Me: OK. Esok saya datang.

And I was like, "Alamak! Ni yang leceh ni!" Jumpa VIP ni is just not my thing la..More of tak reti and tak pernah buat sebenarnya. My bro-in-law pulak takde gi US. Adui..Terpaksala ajak my BIL's partners to accompany me for the meeting. So, after lunch, I went to the BIL's office to have a short discussion on how should we go about for the meeting.

After that meeting, I have another unplanned meeting, because earlier, I simply called an old contact to check whether she would be free in the afternoon to have a meeting with me. I haven't got the chance to introduce my new 'baby' to her yet, so just tried my luck by calling her. She answered something like this: "Eh! Mai la datang sini..Kitorang tengah ada banyak duit ni..Datangla nak propose apa-apa pun boleh" Wow! Beshnya! So I went to see her and it was also a productive meeting with many opportunities. Alhamdulillah..

On the way back, I dropped by my company secretary's office to collect some documents and then stopped by I*I mall in Puchong. I wanted to look presentable for the meeting with Tan Sri tomorrow, so I bought a new jacket, a new pants and a pair of new heels. Adui.. Just for a meeting..Tapi takpela..Because the meeting was the gateway for my next moolah, so just play by the rule lah.Hopefully everything goes smoothly after this..

I reached home at 11pm (dah lama dah tak balik lewat gila macam ni) and everyone at home was worried. Was greeted at the door by En Daniel with a super duper sweet smile. I knew he missed me because when I left the house that morning, he was asleep and I came home really late. I felt so guilty (but totally tired) and after playing with him for a while, I got into the shower and when I came out, he was already asleep. Cian Baby Mummy!
