Long time no write...

I have been blogging in my head the whole week. Every time I see something interesting or an interesting idea came to mind, I made a promise to update it in this blog as soon as I get home. However, the only thing that I have managed to do when I got home was zzz.......

So, what was it that I wanted to update about? Hmmm... let me see...

1. I have managed to master reading a book while standing in a crowded LRT... after only 1 week!! woohooo... ! (hahaha... I really had to find something to focus on besides looking at uninteresting faces day in day out)

2. I really can't tolerate those people that stuck earphones into their ears to listen to their favourite songs and also sharing it with the entire people in the train as well. I get to listen to various kinds of music every morning without asking for it. The best part was when this one dude, who happens to portray a very cool image, shared with me and the rest of the people in the LRT his collection of dangdut music. Yes.... I kid you not.... I swear it was dangdut. Even the makcik that was standing opposite me was making weird faces when she heard bits and pieces of the melody that came out of his earphone. The dude was moving his head (banging up and down) as if he was listening to the latest R&B or rock tunes... muahahahha.... Very the funny ok...

3. So the 3rd season of Prison Break is back and it is getting more intense by the minute. I thought the creative team of the show would have run out ideas by now. I was wrong! The show is better than ever. Go download it now...! And while you are at it, if you are a Grey's Anatomy fans, go and download the 1st episode of the 4th season as well.. It is going to be another interesting season...

4. Things are getting tougher on the work front. There are more things to learn and master in so little time. However, it is good to finally be recognised for something that you are good at. Just hope that better things will be in store for me in the future. Insyaallah.

5. I have been cracking my head to fill 15 pages of bulls***s for my career profile that I am suppose to submit next Sunday during the face-to-face CIMA membership assessment. I have only filled 1 page so far and I am running out of ideas on what to bulls*** about. HELP!!!


Another long, tough week is awaiting... Hope all of you (if you are still reading this blog) have a great week ahead.

Crazy week...

With all the buzzing news about the discovery of Nurin's body to all the political mumbo-jumbo on the news, there were lots of things to talk about over the week, especially when you were trying to make small talks with your new colleagues.

So, I have survived my 1st week at the new office. It has been one rough week indeed. And no, it was not rough due to the LRT issue. That was just the beginning.

When I accepted the job offer, I was forewarned that it is going to be a demanding position that will require me to stay back every now and then. However, I was not prepared to be asked to stay back on my 2nd day on the job till the end of the week!!! Gone was the thought of having a home-cooked buka puasa meal with my family. I even had to make do with just a mug of coffee and a handful of biscuits aje last Friday because there was so much things to do as our department was shifting location on that particular day.

Hence, I have been going back home at 9 p.m. (the latest time out so far) since Tuesday. And I have been going to bed as early as 10.30 p.m. daily!! That's a record breaking time for me as I am known for being a 'burung hantu' every night. Rasa dah macam takde life lar pulak...

Luckily Mr Judge is working this weekend. If not for sure this weekend sibuk klua dating. Now I can recharge my energy for next week. I have a feeling it is going to be another loooooong week (month end closing reports!!!).


How was your week?




binx: *sleepy*

Confession of an LRT Virgin...

Well, today was not my first time taking the LRT. However, it was my first time taking the LRT during peak hours.

Imagine my horror when I saw the sardine-packed train this morning. There was no room to even breathe. However, since I had no choice but to squeeze myself in or be late on my very 1st day, I took a deep breath and plunged into the train without any hesitation.

I had barely enough space to stand comfortably. And the minah standing beside me still had time to pull out her Malay novel, oblivious to her surrounding, and started reading, while trying to maintain her balance at the same time. I wonder how she did that. Maybe it came with daily practice eh...

*****

It was already 6.15 p.m. when I stepped down into the LRT terminal. There I was thinking that the crowd must have died down by that time since most of the offices let their staff go off early during Ramadhan. Oh, was I wrong... !

When the train came, the people, who had queued obediently at first, turned into monsters and started to pushed and squeezed themselves into the jammed-packed train. I was pushed from the front-back-left-right. Even the hot, delicious karipap that I was carrying got squashed during that ordeal. Sedey tau....

At one point of time during the train ride, I felt something poking into my butt. It caught me by surprised and I was really paranoid that someone might have taken advantage of the situation and got "excited". Luckily, it was just a PVC sling bag that a kakak was carrying and NOT someone's "thing". Horror nyeee laaa...

*sigh*

I really salute you guys that had been taking the train to and from work. How did you do it?




binx: *sad*

My favourite month is back...!

Ramadhan is back...!


So Selamat Berpuasa to all muslim out there...

Pegi pasar ramadhan tuh jangan ikut nafsu k.

I'll be breaking fast at the office today and tomorrow :(
Tak dapat makan my mom's cucur udang (wajib dish every year)
Sedey... Sedey...


p/s: happy birthday, Lil' Sis!




binx: karipap & popiah month!

Things are looking good now...

I hope...

Went for an interview (twice!) last week. And finally got the call yesterday saying that they want me to come on board by next monday! whooopeee!!

Handed in my resignation letter without any hesitation. One week notice is sufficient enough as the new company said that it was very cheap for them to just buy me off from the current company.

No more working odd hours!!! That means I can berbuka puasa with my family and friends. Yipeee...!!

Upside down

What does it say about the management of a department or a company when 7 out of 11 people in one team resigned in one month?

Well, that was what happened to my team in August and early September.

Everything is going downhill now as the original members of the team that had undergone the 2 months solid training in the UK had tendered their resignation last month. They were not satisfied with the way the upper management handles the team. Their voices were not heard. They were over-worked and under-paid. Hence, when a rival bank, who just started up a new department and needed skilled workers offered to double their current pay, they jumped without any hesitation.

So now, from a newbie, I became one of the senior members of the team. I was put in charged to train the new trainees, as how my seniors had trained me.

I wish I could resign as well. However, after submitting my resumes everywhere, there is still no luck in securing a job *sigh*. Just hope that after being accepted as an associate member of CIMA (in October, I hope!), the job offer will start coming my way.

As for now, I have to settle with working for more than 12 hours a day and earning peanuts.




binx: back to sending out resumes!

I've been 'spied'...

So after all the hassle of preparing for 'the day' for the past one week, I have officially been 'spied' (bak kata orang Melayu, dirisik)...

It was a simple ceremony, ermm ala cowboy pun ada jugak... Everything was so laid back that it didn't even feel like a merisik ceremony, more like a family gathering.
