...sands between my toes...

...i has always wanted to go the beachside to de-stress and unload all worries and malfunctions of the brains. i can think extremely well with sands between my toes, sea water slapping my foot and cool breeze blowing my long hair and lots of people to watch. i enjoy the breakaway work...
of course, i was at port dickson to do requirements with ilmi : institut latihan kefahaman islam angkatan tentera malaysia. yeap, islamic institute for army training. 2 days @ ilmi. 1 nite @ seri malaysia. and a short moment with sands between my toes.
day 1 ::
project kickoff. so many ppl. iitc got 6, nti got 3, ilmi got like 10 while btm with 2. nti sales manager presented. then to kevin then to nti pm and then me. personally, i didnt think nti ppl were in such professionalism or is tht what the outside world is like? obviously i was not taught like tht in a professional way. wht they did? nti did not bother responding to some comments by btm people. frankly, i think she was rather unprofessional. and frankly, btm people were very much of snooker cue up their ass. requesting for aircond. d'oh. not my problem anyway, but nti did not respond.
was introduced to ilmi people; especially captain sulaiman-ilmi pm for this project. others include captain nasir, snr sarjan ali, etc. after project kickoff which was so d'oh and unprofessionally done, was tea time. always makan. nowonder they all so fat. army ppl fat. wakakakz. after tea was my requirement studies session. and this i gotta tell.
everyone was in the room looking at me conducting the studies although i SPECIFICALLY mention that, only those relevant ones should be in the room. i so wanted to shout to them and say, those not involve please get your lazy ass of here (especially to nti ppl and btm who are just so pain in the backside - talking so loudly)
started with registration module, then finance and then to assessment and student affairs. and because ilmi was not made aware of what they are required to do, they ask us to print out all the screens for them to go thru. this time i was really wtf. our sa process prohibits us from doing so. nti again culprit. d'oh. at this time, all of the lazy ass were still in the room.
captain nasir was very committed. he gave me most of the details. so is the snr sarjan zamri. while having our requirements discussion in the front, lazy asses were having their nice laugh and chat at the back. not long, lazy asses left. was so happy. we continued our discussion till abt 120pm and noted the time to captain nasir and he was late for his prayers. and we all left for lunch.
we wanted to print the pmis user manual. called jerks and requested to send to us. jerks says ftp. ok. but no line to download. kevin was a great dude. suggested to go polipd to chat chat and then copy the manual back from them. thanks polipd. but back @ ilmi, our discussion continued until like 5+pm. all captains return to their ship. we were printing the user manual and screen shots to ilmi. printed until like 6+pm. went for kfc. kevin, karen and yong left at 730pm while justin, radde and me checked in seri malaysia for a nite.
at nite went rounding. and of course finally got my toes between the sands and i was a happy person. of course, we had meeting at nite in the bloody hot room until about 1230am.
day 2 ::
continued with requirements till about 1230pm. got many missed calls from nti pm. d'oh requirement studies lar, how to answer call. 1230ppm was halau-ed out from the room cos hey wanna close di. and then came back to iitc. reached iitc at about 400pm. raining heavily in hiway. nearly slept while driving. evening went to yam char with kevin and loon to de-stress again.
at nite, went and meet aaron at subang and had a great chat till midnite.
