Friday again!!

It has been quite a while since I have talked to my buddy because I am a bit busy and most of it is because I am lazy.

My thoughts seems to be scattered all over the place tonight so I thought this would be a great moment to talk to my buddy since I don't feel like doing anything including watching hong kong drama series. It is abit wierd that I choose not to watch my drama series because that is my favourite past time hobby. Anyways, here I am talking to my invisible illusionary buddy. For me, it is definitely fine to talk to oneself but others do not think so. I might be the random one but I definitely think everyone needs some time off away from the crowd.

I am going to write about what happened this morning. It is kind of ridiculous but I bet a lot of us have such experience before. Let me start from what happened yesterday night. Out of curiousity, I upgraded my iphone 4s software to iOS 7 because everyone was giving positive review about it and my apps are not working well on the older version software. The problem is I was too tired that I can't be bothered to wait for the whole download process and I fell asleep straight away. Working life is exhausting when you have to study at the same time.

When I woke up, my phone shows 5.38pm. LOLOLOL... I was asking myself did I actually sleep for more than 12 hours? I basically missed the whole day by sleeping - I did not go to work, I did not call in sick, I went missing in action for Friday. HAHAHAHA. My second thought was to go to the clinic to ask for medical certificate so I can go on sick leave. Yes I know I am naughty and a terrible employee but what can I do? I can't turn back the clock to get to work on time and even if I go to work, it is already after working hours since bank finishes at 4.45pm on Friday.

Thank god I am still rationale that I look at my watch to confirm the time. It was 8.13am. Friday has yet to come to an end and I can still make it to work although I will be late for work. I can't be bothered to think about the consequences anymore so I got on the LRT and make my way to work as usual. I saw colleagues on the same LRT so I was quite relieved. I ran all the way to work from the LRT station and the business banking head was just standing beside my table dealing with his personal assistant. Opppsss... he caught me red handed.

Anyways, I hope I did not get into trouble for being late because last Tuesday, HR just reminded us to be punctual. I hope Apple don't come out with new software too frequently because I am not very impressed with what happened after I upgraded my phone. LOLOLOL...

Life has been challenging as well. Branch attachment was fun but going back to HQ is a pain in the ass. I am aware that when I am in the branches, I smile alot. I sincerely smile from the bottom of my heart, but when I am in HQ, I tend to put on my fake smile and get impatient with people. I hate it. People around you are no longer caring or willing to help anymore. You will be left there sitting for the whole day doing nothing. You will have to beg for work everyday.

To those who let us sat there reading manuals or did nothing: I can understand how busy you are but if you think you couldn't handle management trainees, just tell HR. Don't think your time is precious and we have to put up with all these nonsense. I know we are there for just a week or two, but at least let us do something. Why can't it be a win win situation, where you get us to help you and at the same time we learn something?

Anyways, all these thoughts should be kept here with my buddy because people told me not to be too demanding. I was scolded because they say I don't appreciate life without work and they like to do nothing but get paid. I realized that I could not fit in properly no matter how hard I tried. It makes me so depressed. OMG... depression kicking in again!! Damm!!

Another thing that makes my day so blue is that we have to wait for our person in charge to go out for lunch together. Guess how long we have to wait... 1 and 1/2 hours and no apologies at all. I have to say although your position is senior vice president and you hold a phd, you are busy and have to handle a lot of things, saying sorry doesn't take you more than 2 seconds. I was not impressed with his attitude at all. Of course, during lunch I did not say anything at all because I was not interested in whatever he is talking about because I have no respect to him anymore. Unhappy face during lunch
=(

After lunch, it is time to pay. Guess what, nobody from my group took the initiative to pay. I took out RM50 note and left it on the table. Other group members were sitting there looking at me and the person in charge. I guess they were expecting the person in charge to pay but for me I did not want his treat because he is such a lousy person. They are taking people from the senior management for granted. HAHAHA.... At last, the person in charge asked us to pass him the bill and he has to foot the bill of course. I handed him my RM50 note and he didn't want to take. I can sense that he did not volunteer to do that because he was damm slow in taking out his credit card and he looked at the bill for 2 seconds too. But there is also another possibility that he is just the slow type of person. After paying, all my group members said thank you with a big smile. LOLOLOLOL... I hate those fake smiles!!!

Life sucks!! Friday is bad for Priscilla as always.

I think I should change my blog to a place where I do my research on equities rather than all these negative thoughts and feelings!!

I hate Fridays!!

Happy girl in Selayang

It's been a long time since I have talk to my buddy because I have been quite busy for this week and foresee myself to be as busy for the rest of the month.

I have been turning in very early because I have to wake up pretty early everyday. It is good isn't it? Healthy lifestyle which I have been always longing about. Life was good for this week. Although I have to travel to Selayang every morning to work, my colleagues are very nice people. I love this type of working environment and it is far very different from what I experienced in HQ. The boss is super nice, caring and encouraging. He assist my journey to work by fetching me from and dropping me off at the KL Sentral Terminal when possible. If he could not make it to send me there, he will ask around the office to ensure someone to drop me off the LRT station. I really appreciated his kindness and this is so much better than the HR in HQ. Life in Selayang is in heaven while life in HQ is in hell. I am not talking about the amount of workload but it is more about how we interact with each other. There is no backstabbing or talking behind people's back in Selayang. It is worth it for me to wake up very early to catch two buses to get there and adapt to the filthy environment.

Yes, Selayang is really dirty and smelly. That's why all my colleagues do not eat around that area. They will drive to somewhere else to have lunch because they believe the food around that area is dirty and can cause food poisoning. That is also the moment when everyone sits together to talk, chill and relax. I love the feeling of being part of the 'family' because they will never leave me in the office alone or let me have my lunch alone.

Although my colleagues are very busy people, they will take some time out to answer my silly questions and teach me the relevant work flow. Some even stop whatever they are doing and focus on teaching me things that I have to learn based on the to-do list. How can I not feel touch by the kindness and actions of my current colleagues? I remembered my first rotation where I was left there sitting and reading for the whole week. Nobody answered my questions or even take the initiative to talk to me. When I did not know how to do, they just tell me it is ok to do it wrong, rahter than teaching me the correct way. Later, when they do my appreciation, they just mark me as lousy, below expectations. I was really really angry about it. But thank god, they are out of my life now and hopefully forever out of my sight.

My colleagues are naughty too. They tried to match make me with one of the guy in the office. They hard sell the guy to me and warned everybody else not to bring me out to meet clients next week because I should follow the guy next week wherever he goes. OH MY GOD, funny colleagues, but they define themselves as caring colleagues that wish the best for the work mates.

I am counting my blessing and I hope this month shall never end. I love to be at work now!! =)
I am back to be a happy girl despite what has happened last week which basically ruined my whole working life.

PEOPLE

It is either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow that I am going to have a presentation on my job rotation experiences so far in the bank. I really do not know what to talk about for the topic because I do not think I have enough content to talk about for 5 minutes. I have yet learned a lot of things at work and it has been very depressing  although everyone kept telling me it is ok to not learn or do anything.

My group insisted of finding a word with an alphabet starting with our name. My name is Priscilla, so I have to find a word starting with 'P'. I was asking my friend what should be the word, and she told me perfect. I thought it was a good idea because I have to show optimism in me. But the truth is, I can't get over it myself. OMG, although I was told to put on my poker face at work, I will never want to say my experience there is perfect. It would be so fake to me but I'm sure someone out there are willing to use the word 'perfect'. So, I came out with the word PEOPLE.

In our daily life, we have to deal a lot with people, it is something that is unavoidable. For example, we have to deal with the cashier when we pay for our groceries, we have to order our food by telling the waitress what we would like to have for lunch, we have to work together in teams at work and so forth.  

Mouth is the most notorious weapon ever invented by God and no men on earth could ever invent anything else that can be as poisonous or hurtful as what words of mouth can do. I know it is impossible to stop people from talking behind your back because whatever you do, they will have something to comment about it. For example, today, I chose to listen to whatever they are discussing and absorb what is the right way to share ideas so I decided not talking much. Guess what, people commented on me again. They said they have never expected me to be so quiet. Others commented that since I am so quiet, I should be the one that should be doing the presentation. Actually, I was giving out my ideas too in the first place, but nobody was listening. They were very focused on the pretty Y lady. Hence, I might just shut up and listen to Y lady. Y lady is well known for her detailed work so everyone just want to hear from her. Also, I have bad reputation in the bank therefore nobody wants to even be close to me. Fair enough, by talking to me, they are having reputational risk.
I just do not understand why people like to comment and criticize on others when our focus is to get the discussion done. Seriously, why? WHY? WHY? WHY?

God gave us a pair of ears and ONLY one mouth, so why not listen what others have to say rather than always talking? I am not against people who talk, you can talk all your heart out but please only talk about yourself. You have no rights to talk about others because you have not gone through what they have and you basically do not know the whole picture of whatever you are telling. Then, it is time for story twisting and selective telling.

Rumors and gossips can completely destroy a person in the eyes of others. I can't believe a simple sentence like 'I have no faith in the HR' will be spread out to all 29 management trainees and also escalated to the senior management. Everyone was talking about it behind my back and I did not know until now. Hurray, thanks everyone who talked about me because each of you guys spent at least your precious one minute talking about me rather than doing something important!! I still have no faith in the HR. They are good in selective hearing; they only want to hear from their 'pet dogs' and others, they will treat you like stray dogs. Although both are dogs, you get different treatments and penalties.

For example, you can be late for every training and not get whacked in the face but you can get insulted in front of 29 other management trainees because you express your opinions. This is where the unfair games come in. I admit I am not beautiful because I do not have 23 inch waist or big round eyes like a Barbie, but I do not think I deserve to be treated this way. I understand human are sight-oriented animals but humans have to be rational.

TO BE CONTINUE

*I believe if I present based on what I have blogged, I will get more bullet holes at my back. I don't think my back is big enough for extra bullet. So, I will present the way they want it to be - full of lies and pretend I am happy with what they have arranged for us. Poker face mode on!!

Let's call it a week!! =)

Don't know why I am so exhausted this week. My back ached carrying the heavy laptop bag and handbag. Is this a signal that I might fall sick over the weekend? Or maybe because I have really learned something this week after one and a half month of zero input. I feel contended. This week, at least I have something to write on my learning journal and it feels wonderful to review what I have learned. On the other hand, I must have caused a lot of trouble to my person in charge. I kept asking questions because I was so confused during the starting of the week. I never really understand foreign exchange rates in university and even now I would not guarantee that I understand everything because I still calculate the dates wrongly =(

Doing research and forecasting the future trend of 7 exchange rates will be my jobs for the weekends. Can anyone please help me do my assignments? I have no idea how those currencies move and what is happening in those countries in depth until I can be confident to forecast their future movements. Tedious jobs but I think I will enjoy it!!

 G7 currencies:



DXY (U.S. Dollar Index)
EUR/USD
USD/JPY
GBP/USD
USD/CHF
AUD/USD
USD/CAD
NZD/USD

Will be my weekend companion. Maybe I should start doing it tomorrow because my mind is completely blank now. I can't even concentrate on what the security guard was trying to tell me just now when I was about to enter the apartment. I told him to slow down because I could not catch a word out from his mouth. OMG... I must be really tired today, mentally exhausted.

I did not have quality sleep for the week. Often I will wake up in the middle of the night and my heart beats so fast that I don't understand why it is happening. Is there something wrong with me? Am I too fat that I am going to have heart attack soon? Oh nooo... Maybe it is time for me to go on diet. But... I love food!! I like to eat!! I am a round round tubby.

It's Friday again!!

I saw this on facebook under Golden words of Paradise,

If people say something bad about you, judge you as if they know you,
Don't feel bad, Just remember
"DOGS BARK EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE PERSON!!"

Lol. Since I can never stop my dog to bark, I can't stop people from commenting about me.
Woof Woof... Dogs are angels!!

Shakespear said:
I always feel happy because I don't expect anything from anyone. Expectations always hurt!!

Yes, no more expectations to my company and colleagues!! Yay, I only have high expectations to myself!!

Emo Friday night!! Sigh!! Good night peeps!!

給白羊座的1封信


To my dearest Batman's wife:

給白羊座的1封信

白羊的人生可以用兩個字概括:糾結。
不管從哪一方面來說,白羊本身就是一個矛盾的個體。
與白羊相戀須知:1.很慢熱,我很冷漠  2.很直接,討厭轉彎 3.不喜歡說話,也不喜歡你太吵 4.喜歡自由的感覺,討厭囉嗦 5.心智很成熟,看事很透徹 6. 很絕 7.需要行動證明愛我。

羊羊人看上去不拘小節,其實感情上道德上有絕對潔癖。
觸動原則的任何錯誤,哪怕再小都沒有辦法彌補。
決絕的轉身不回頭,不難過,不留遺憾,不內疚。
因為內心已經想的很明白,問心無愧,犀利得一塌糊塗。

你的一點關心,心思細膩的白羊會記得你對他的好。把自己的愛毫無保留的送給你,白羊是不被了解的可他們不會怨誰
他們會傻傻的認為讓我承擔吧,別讓別人也受到傷害。
所以別讓他們最有魅力的笑容,成為掩飾痛苦的偽裝認真愛白羊,你會知道白羊的愛是充滿淚水的。

羊羊內心都很善良,很柔軟。羊羊內在的感性絕對不會亞於雙魚。羊羊真的是毫無心機地活在這個世界上。他善良得如此無私,往往讓人覺得不真實。
他很怕被人誤解,尤其是被自己在乎的人誤解。
羊羊其實本身真的很正直,確實耍不來心機。即使不被理解被誤解也依舊試著解釋。

白羊的反擊力很強,吵架的時侯羊羊可能會說一些很讓人傷心的話相信我羊羊真的不是故意的,那是他的直覺反應。
吵架就是要吵贏!
羊羊很可能一說出口就後悔了。可是很難拉下臉來衷心的道歉。
不要跟白羊生氣,放他一馬。我保證他會很感激對你加倍的好。

羊很懶,不想活得那麼累。能簡單,盡量簡單。
不愛解釋,始終認為懂自己的不用解釋。不懂自己的不必解釋。
不想管那麼多不相干的事,他們只挑自己愛做的事。
要嘛不做,要做就做到最好。其實羊羊也是完美主義者。

白羊座對好朋友可以很熱情,亂七八糟聊個不停。
對比較普通的朋友很冷淡,聊不上幾句就沉默。
羊羊很珍惜對他的好朋友,感覺是壞的叧有意疏離。
羊羊的普通朋友很多,好朋友沒幾個。
羊羊很孤獨常常自己一個人,一個人吃飯,一個人上學,一個人逛街,一個人發呆。

白羊真的沒辦法一心二用。聊手機時會把電影暫停,工作時不知道聽的是哪首歌,思考時不知道你在說的什麼。
因為羊羊的注意力只能集中在其中之一,白羊們更不會去花心。
因為羊羊喜歡簡單。腳踩兩條船,對羊羊而言是非常麻煩及複雜的事情,羊羊懶得去做因為羊羊真的很懶。

給巨蟹座的1封信

給巨蟹座的1封信

逃避是他們的習慣。
他們對自己渴望的東西,總是先退到一邊,似乎毫不關心,然後突然撲上去。他們沒有很強的適應能力,卻有天生的領悟力。
他們以自我為中心,懂得自我保護。
... 他們最害怕孤獨,但又注定了孤獨。
有很多秘密,把真實的自己藏於夜半的寂靜和午間笑聲的明朗中。
巨蟹經常會說“我覺得”“我想”,他喜歡用敏銳的第六感來表達想法和感情。
不喜歡複雜的環境,他喜歡呆在安靜的地方做他喜歡的事。
喜歡跟志同道合的人組成一個小圈子自娛自樂。
巨蟹座善良體貼,不計較,會細心的記住好朋友的生日。
或許多愁善感,但仍然會在最難過時給你微笑.

巨蟹是十二星座中最為戀家的星座。
他們是現代的模範伴侶,他們無論走到哪裡都不會忘記家裡有人在等著自己。遇到巨蟹座的戀人是最大的幸福。
巨蟹是一個很感性的星座,一旦陷入愛情就會想要時時刻刻跟對方黏在一起。所以對癡情的巨蟹來說,每次結束一段感情都是最痛苦的經歷。

巨蟹天生悲觀,脾氣古怪,會突然爬進保護性的殼裡。
在受傷後他很少反擊,只會放棄。逃避是他的習慣。
他很念舊,喜歡舊東西。
他最注重的就是安全感,希望被保護卻常常是一個人。
他希望有屬於自己的空間,喜歡獨處。

巨蟹不喜歡受別人限制。他不喜歡任何東西過於圓滿,對他來說有缺陷的人生才是完美的,缺陷是靈魂的出口。
他的快樂都是微小的事,比如看見一隻小貓或小狗,收拾乾淨自己的家,看著在花瓶裡有水珠的香水百合。
很多巨蟹喜歡顧影自憐喜歡自己舔傷口,他心裡想什麼從來不說別人也猜不到。

巨蟹座的人有包容心,一般不會為了一點芝麻小事而耿耿於懷。
具有容人的雅量,很少拒人於千里之外。
再加上其有禮貌,善交際,富幽默感之迷人個性及對人道主義的尊崇會有許多朋友。
事實上巨蟹座的人經常會在強悍的外表下,隱藏著一顆柔弱的內心他就像這星座的表徵--螃蟹。

巨蟹總說著無所謂的話,喜歡瞎想。尤其是讓人流淚的情節。
巨蟹夏天露出皮膚時,厭惡被陌生人觸碰。在公車上最為顯著。
巨蟹討厭裝的人,但有時候自己也不得不裝,還裝得挺真的。
巨蟹笑起來完全不顧形象,任憑周圍怪異的眼光也不會收斂。
巨蟹的心思很簡單不喜歡勾心鬥角

Spelling makes wording wonder

Thank you note turns out to be thank you not!!

I wrote a thank you note and when the receiver reply my email, the subject became thank you not.

HAHAHA. Ok, I actually did not write it sincerely but I have to send it for being a nice employee. Maybe the receiver can feel the insincerity. Bleh... =P

*I have to wait for 1 month to get my necklace fixed. >.<

Pissed off with Lazo Diamond

Dear Lazo Diamond,

Your things are absolutely crap. I bought a pair of white gold earrings and it lasted for only 3 days before it broke. The earrings are not cheap. After that, I went back to the store to trade in for another pair of earrings, which I am willing to pay any price difference. However, your staff deemed that I could not do so because the earrings are broken and implicitly pointed out that it was my fault for breaking the earrings. I do not know what did I do to break those tenderly soft earrings when I was sleeping. The collegue of the supervisor who did the transaction with me claimed that she was on sick leave despite the fact that I just saw here walking out of the shop five minutes ago. Staffs in the shop was trying to be busy to avoid any contacts with me or trying to help me to solve my problems.

After arguing a bit, finally I get to trade in my broken earrings with another pair of new earrings. Unfortunately, my necklace broke after less than a month of purchase. I went to another branch in Wangsa Maju to repair. You staff told me I will have to pay for the repair. However, the staff who sold me the necklace told me it is life time guarantee and repairs are all for free. I am very frustrated with how your staffs manipulating customers by being less transparent. Nevertheless, I did get my necklace fixed on that day.

Today, which is three weeks after the second incident, my necklace is broken again. I am fed up of visiting your shop once in less than every month to get my accessories fixed. The quality of your products are pathethically low and I wonder this time I will get charged for getting my necklace fixed.

Kind regards,
Priscilla

First day of June

Yesterday I had a presentation with the department I am attached with and people obviously like to ask me questions.

I was asked whether there is any products targeted to Gen-Y in the market that is up to my satisfaction. I told them I have yet found any for the time being and in future I might be able to find one. Then comes the work related question - What if you are a product manager, how do you juggle between company's profit and the benefit of customers?

HAHAHA... Guess what I answered.

It is none of the choices given. Tata ... Answer: I will reconsider my future, i.e., I will think whether I suit being a product manager. Actually reality is cruel. The moment you work the company, you have to put the company's benefit first. Oh wells, I added, if the company pays me well, I will put the company on top of consumer's benefits. This is so not like my statement. After that, they say everyone starts by getting paid less. Aiyo... who does not know that? I told them the truth, if I feel the connection between the company and me, I will do my best for the company. Connection matters, which for me right now is missing.

Actually the answer can be I will put the priority of customers first. Banking is a customer service business. If the customers are happy, they will recommend the bank to others. Although the bank is getting less profit per customer, it is gaining the market share.

This answer sounds so official, which I don't think will ever come out of my mouth. =P

For this week, I have been to KLCC for three times. I don't want to go there anymore. Goodness... No money to shop and most importantly no mood to shop. Thanks to all the baddies around me @.@
I will grow strong and God bless everyone!!

Happy Gawai!!

Lousy Friday

I always say Friday is always a bad day for me. Yes, it's Friday again and it is time to be upset.

While I am trying to get over all the anger about the insult which happened previously, I just heard from another HR personnel (Miss Y) that the guy actually talked behind my back in the HR meeting. According to him, I am not taking my job seriously, I am very demanding, I only want to get into research, I am not going to stay long in the company.

First of all, I am not taking my job seriously. Excuse me, since when I work with you? You are never my person in charge (PIC) or even worst you are not in the same department as me. Where the hell are you coming from to make such judgment?

Second, you are the one that forced me to tell you what department I prefer. I have already told you that  I am uncomfortable with telling you about it. And now you tell me I am very demanding. I seriously don't understand why in the first place you asked about it. Just to slander me? WTF

Yes, I want to get into research, but I told you I want to get into Risk department too, right? Why do you have selective hearing? ZZZzzzz

Yes, I will not stay long in the company. The reason behind it is the way I am treated, it is absolutely unfair and disrespectful.

Miss Y tell me I should talk to her boss about this particular matter because if next time I leave the company, I will leave a bad name because they will treat me as not taking the job seriously. In fact, I took the job too seriously that I flag my expectations high and get disappointed over time.

It was destiny to meet the boss. I saw her on my way back to the office. I seriously did not know how to tell her what happened because I did not want to make it obvious that I am complaining. After long hours of juggling between to tell or not to tell, I finally got it out of my heart.

Obviously, you don't expect anything much from a boss because for sure a boss will defend his/her workers and not for you (referring to me, a small character). She asked me to ignore what he said. Hellooo... how is it possible? It is like I slap you on your face and I tell you, Please ignore.  Could you ignore it? Anyways, life still goes on =)

The conclusion from the whole conversation was I am a stubborn person and I do not take advices. I told the boss if I continue to talk to her, I will end up cleaning the toilet because HR can send you everywhere they want to. They are like the magician with a magic wand, Alakrabra, there-you are washing the toilet.

I do admit I am a stubborn person and I don't get shaken easily. But do remember, they are people who are able to convince me through the power of knowledge and experience, for example, the head of deposit department.

Mentor and Buddy!!

For the MT program, we are each given a buddy and a mentor.

Today, my buddy (who is from the previous batch of MTs) complained that I never approach her. That is right, I never contacted her because I really do not feel the need to do so. There is nothing much I can say to her since she is also in the same company as me. Bleh... I am worried that I could not control my anger or temper in front of the so-called buddy, who is there to help you along your way for the whole year. I have not much interest in knowing more about the company and how they move their way through the program. I only want to do my work and be at low profile. That's why I can predict myself that I will never succeed in corporate ladder. Sigh >.<

I have to clarify, my buddy is a really nice person but today she is on fire because of someone and something. HAHAHA.

Oh, I also have an appointment with my mentor. I did email him but he never reply me, so it is not my problem. Anyways, I wouldn't want to tell them what is deep down my heart and what I am planning to do.

Seriously I don't feel like talking to anyone in the company because I have to be so careful when I talk and it is just uncomfortable and unnecessary for me. If you see me at work, most probably you will see me with my head set and sitting at one corner hiding behind the laptop screen. HAHAHA. Low profile and undetectable!!

Bottle opening day!!

Today was an interesting day. I walked around the whole building, asking everyone who I know to help me to open my blue Zebra water bottle. For those who know me in ANU, maybe you guys know which water bottle I am referring to. 

This morning, I filled my bottle with cold drinks and brought it to work. When I wanted to drink, I couldn't open it. The inner pressure must be so strong that it stops me from opening it. Then I waited until lunch hour when there are more people around to help me 'unlock' it. Hmm.. there were at least 10 people who attempted to open up the bottle but FAILED. If you were on the spot, you can see two people working together just to open a bottle. Funny but showing team work scene, one holding the base of the bottle, the other twisting the cap.  Sorry for giving you guys a hard time during lunch. LOL.

We went for chu cheong fun today. Hmm... I don't like the sweet sauce of the 'fun'. Yucks, it should be savoury, how can it be sweet!! HAHAHAHA. It is also quite expensive given we have to sit at the road side and possibly get run over by a car, also it is so so so hot in the afternoon. It wasn't extremely yummy or something very special to me. I am not going there anymore if I am given a second choice since I don't like sweet sauce on my 'fun'. It doesn't match!! It's like eating chocolate ice-cream with salt sprinkled on it!! NONONONO, in my dictionary!! Others can still like it as long as I am not invited to go there. =)

Back to the blue bottle, later in the afternoon, I went to find my other good friend on the 20th floor. He was looking for a cloth to aid his opening process. HAHA... act so pro!! An uncle (Treasury head, the one that stop us for a drink) was around and without any difficult time, he managed to open it. My jaw dropped to the floor because he was the only one who can open it after so many failed cases. LOL. He said before opening the bottle, I should turn the cap left and right, rather than just anti-clock wise. One lesson learned at work, but too bad it is not any working skills!! Good enough for me, a bit of improvement everyday, no matter which field!! =)

First trip to KLCC =)

For my first time I went to KLCC to post my job application letter, I did not know where the post office was. Of course, I have to go to KLCC without telling anyone because it is really unethical to tell everyone I am prepared to leave the company while I am still there. Ok, I admit I have been very unethical lately!! HAHAHAHA

The weather on Thursday was extremely hot. I took out my UV protection umbrella and walked to the LRT station. To my surprise, the LRT was fully occupied. I thought the LRT would be quite empty given it was on a working day but at lunch hour. Most of the people were heading to where I want to go, KLCC.

I know I only have one hour of lunch so I have to rush to get things done as quickly as I could. So, I decided to ask the security guard who was standing at the entrance of the shopping mall.

ME: Excuse me, where is the post office?
Security Guard: There is no post office here.
ME: Are you serious? (I stared at him because I was so surprised that he said there is no post office in KLCC. Two people told me there IS a post office there. I walked all the way here and now you said there is no post office. !@#$%^)
Security Guard: The post office is not here, it is inside the building.
ME: I laughed. What a great joke!!

Then the security guard told me the direction. Finally, I managed to find the post office and get my things done.

The trip to KLCC's post office was very adventurous despite the hot weather!!

Dear security guard, I know your job is always boring but do not joke with someone who is in a hurry. He/She might be so focus on getting things done and not understand your joke at all!!

Long weekend

It's a long weekend. I spent my whole day sleeping yesterday. I woke up at 12.30pm, went back to sleep at 9.30pm because I am down with flu and fever. No wonder I felt so different on Thursday afternoon at work. I thought I was just ready for the weekends but it was a signal from my body to tell me  I am going to fall sick soon. Imagine I am down with sickness at least once in a month. Oh ono.... my body is seriously under attack. I need to find some food or supplement to boost my antibody.

Yesterday, my house owner bought new washing machine. Hurray... it means I don't have to hand wash my clothings. Thinking twice, I am so used to hand washing my clothing that I am reluctant to wash my clothings using washing machine because office wear are so expensive and I do not want them to get ruin when using washing machine =( Quite a lot of my clothings in Australia ended up in the rubbish bin because of the extensive use of washing machine and dryer. Let me see what I can do with my apparels. Maybe hand wash those pricey ones and dump those lower end ones into the washing machines. =)

I am supposed to study... but I am not. Oh wells, I feel like in a shopping mood now. Too bad, I am just too lazy to walk out of my apartment and I need to save for my tuition fees. Ok, I shall stay at home for the rest of the weekends and do my presentation slides >.<

Please go away, Mr FLU and MRs Fever!! Go find someone else who are happy to accept you!! =)

Hurray for Wednesday!!

Hurray, this week there is only 3 working days because Friday is Wesak Day. Tomorrow will be the last working day for the week. How cool is that, we only have to work 4 days a week!!

Time flies and I have been really really busy everyday doing things that was assigned by the person in charge (PIC). Although those work seems to serve no purpose at all to me, I think it should be useful for the PIC. Hopefully, it is not just asking me to do for the purpose of filling in time. Oh wells, I am still happy because at least I am fully occupied for most of the hours at work. I am pretty easy to satisfy right? =)

I want to go shopping!! I want to go eat something special!! But I am too lazy to step out of the house and I am too afraid to get snatched or hit by a car!! Oh noooossss...

I am a new share trader now!! I have my own online trading account!! A lot of things to learn as I trade, a lot of newspapers to read everyday, a lot of analysis to be made over time!!

I am so contended for now although work still sucks as always!! =)

Supportive parents =)

I am such a lucky girl. Although there are a lot of people out there that constantly insult or talk behind me and working in a company that never appreciate my talent or my degrees, I am blessed enough to have friends and family who understand and support me.

Yesterday, when my mum called and I decided to tell her everything that happened to me in my work place despite the fact that I seldom talk to her about u bad news or unhappy stuffs. I never want my parents to worry about me therefore I always tend to show them the happy side of my life. But yesterday I thought they have to know a bit more of my current situation so they won't be shock when I quit my job. To my amusement, my mum actually was even angrier than me about how people in the company treated me. To be honest, rather than being angry, I was more upset and depressed. That's why I cried a lot. I really thought I am the worst out of the other management trainees.

My mum was extremely supportive in this case and she asked what can be done to solve this situation. So, I told her I can always do my CFA and improve my chance to get into research department. Please don't get me wrong, my mum meant I should do my CFA and continue my career somewhere else. HAHAHA. My mum reacted spontaneously by saying

'How much? When is the exam? I will take care for the exam fee. Do your CFA and add points to your qualifications. Don't let those West Malaysians look down on us.'

I think I inherited the direct and decisive characteristics from my dear mother. When I told her there is an exam on June, she asked me to sit for that exam, but obviously it is too late for me to register. Can you see how eager my mum is as compared to me who only complain most of the time? I must be more aggressive from now onwards.  

My parents never force me to do anything but sometimes they do nag me a lot, especially mum but I am very grateful to be in such family. Thank you, mum and dad. I think I can get through all these rough moments in life. For those baddies, shoo shoo shoo. Get out of my life.
