Abg Toya is back....!

After a few days of silence, finally Binx is back.

What has happened since I've last posted the entry?

So far, everyone else have got to know about my transfer and offered their condolences (arrghhh....) and words of advice. I've also went to seek advice from the accountant who works directly under Aunty Beast, and made him promise to watch my back and help me to learn the ropes ASAP. Plus, after reading Mr. Buaya 69's and The Hustler's posts on a similar topic, I felt much better about the whole transfer thingy...

Have been busy all week trying to clear up all my pending work to be handed over. So far, things are still pending. Brought back some of it to be finished over the weekend but I haven't got around to it yet. Will for sure be in a panic mode by 10pm tonight.

Found out from a fellow colleague that I may have to sit for all 3 papers that I have left for my CIMA exam at one go this coming May. Arrrrrrgggggghhhhh.........!!!! Why lar? Why? Why now? Since CIMA had switched to a totally new syllabus this year, it had decided that even though students that have sat for the 3 papers in one go previously under the old syllabus but failed all 3 had to sit for another round this coming sitting.. That's not fair. The original condition was that you only have to sit for all 3 at one go ONCE, and subsequently you can choose to sit for any papers you wish per sitting. To top it up,the syllabus for one of the paper (the one that I originally planned to sit for in the Novemeber exam) has been changed and in order to pass, I need to attend class. However, it's to late to enroll for it now (since I've just found out about the f*****g news).. Sabar Binx.. Sabar...

Finally got around to push myself to study yesterday. Went to the National Library (yeah.. I'm a nerd.. so what?) yesterday to revise. In order to study, I need a proper table and chairs in order to get me going. I can never study at home, because the mere sight of the bed will entice me to sleep rather than study. Hence, I've been going to the library ever since my uni days. Trust me it really helps. Plus, I get to do my fav activity while I'm there, cuci mata *winks*. Hey, you never know who lepak in the library ok... However, the crowd in the National Library is a wee bit off for me larr... Unless it was near the time for professional examinations (e.g ACCA, CIMA, ICSA, MBA, ect), then the yummy people starts to hang out there. hehehehehe....

Great news... F1 is back!!!! Can't wait for the opening race next week. It will be an interesting season this year due to the reshuffling of teams and drivers. Will miss seeing Montoya (ahhhh.... swoon....) in the Williams BMW car since he'll be racing for McLaren this season. Hopefully McLaren has fixed all the technical errors that had bugged them last season and provides Abg Toya with a superb car to make sure Schumie doesn't make it to the podium as many times as he did last year. Things to look out for: Abg Toya's, Raikkonen a.k.a The Iceman's & Button's pursuit to beat Schumie. Will Barichello still be shadowed by Schumie's glam? Will there be any more battle between Abg Toya and Schumie? Well, don't miss the raceday next Sunday...

Am trying to get tickets to the Sepang GP.. Tried to ask Aunty Yah to ask one of her many flings to hook me up with grandstand tickets only to find out that they are not giving away that many tickets this year. Plus, I realised that the promotions for this year's event aren't as big and as hu-ha as last year's. Hmmmm.... I guess will have to see it at home laa kut. Lil' Sis..... remember our promise to watch it live this year? You kat sana.. so how? *sob sob*


Binx: Go Williams... Go Abg Toya...

Think Positive Thoughts

Those were my parting words to an old friend last night. It seems to be the right words to say to her at that moment, since she was the type that likes to dwell on her bad past. However, I find it hard to do the same, trying to think positive thoughts, when thinking about the near future that lies in front of me.

Received a rather shocking news at work yesterday. I was to be transferred to another part of the department by early next month. Uncle Dan had instructed the transfer. And, since he is the BIG man, whatever he says goes.

It's not that I don't want to be transferred to a new place, doing and learning new things and exploring the other many aspects of the accounting world. It was just that the mere thought of working directly under the Group Chief Accountant a.k.a Aunty Beast had given me goosebumps the whole day.

The tales that I've heard from the people around me makes me dread my move there. One girl actually quit after working under Aunty for a few months. Another girl tendered her resignation, for the same reasons, but were asked to re-tracked it and were transferred elsewhere in the Group. The girl, whose place that I was going to replace, once fainted in the washroom due to fatigue and work pressure. Hence, tell me how am I suppose to think of positive thoughts when all the stories that I've heard about the past executives are all terrifying tales?

One can only pray and hope that God will softened the heart of the Beast. My aunt actually gave me a phrase from the Quran that when recited will cause the person you are dealing with to mellow down or not be as tough on you. My only hope is that she won't scream at me as hard as she screamed at the 9 year old son, when he only scored 80 on his math exam.....



Binx: why can't February have 31 days in the month?

Make Way...! Make Way...!

a souvenir from Perth...

Binx: imagine the stolen glances I got from other drivers today... *lol*

Ash is a Mummy, again....!

After the mating season ended, and Ash's "ohek-ohek" activities came to an end.... it was the time to wait for the babies to come.. And last friday, just as I arrived back from the office, and was about the ease my head on the sofa.. she came to me with a pleading look..

Ash: meaoooooow... meaooooooow... (help.. help.. i'm in pain..)
Binx: Arghh... Ash why now larr...?

So, had stayed by her side all night. I was there when her water broke and was waiting for the time for the babies to come. However, she didn't seem to want to push out that night.

I gave Lil' Sis a call to inform her that her Ramlee, Ajis & Sudin are on the way, only to hear her cry over the phone..

Lil' Sis: huuu.... huu... Ash.. huuuu.... huuuu.....

Ash's first group of babies were delivered on Lil' Sis's bed back in 1999. During that time, Lil' Sis was panicked stricken cause she's not the type that can endure such a geli-geli situation. However, as time goes by, she became an expert of such situation as we teamed up to
become Ash's midwives every time she gave birth. So this is the first time Lil' Sis not around to see Ash beranak.

Finally, after one whole night of agony, Ash delivered her babies yesterday at noon... Her 3 babies are soooooo cute (as always laa kan). But it's too bad that we cannot keep them for long. Since Mum & Big Sis are not too keen of cats, we've come to an agreement that we can only keep Ash.. and have to give away her babies once they are big enough.. Hence, will have to look for new owners for the kittens soon.... Anyone interested?

Ash and her lil darlings....

Morning Blurness....

Conversation took place in the office pantry

Mrs. S: Eh did you see the Star this morning ah?
Binx: Errr, no.. not yet... (continue to eat her home cooked nasi goreng.. yummy..)
Mrs. S: A 26 year old girl was killed at The Curve..
Mr. I: Yeah... I read that one.. It's very tragic eh...
Binx: The Curve? Oooook.. What happened?
Mrs. S: The girl was stabbed... and the best part is they found cement next to her body..
Mr. I: So.. for sure it's a rape and murder case larr...
Binx: Huh? Cement? Raped? I thought they've suspected a construction worker as the murderer... (blank face)
Mrs. S & Mr. I: *ROTFLOL*
Binx: (still blank face and continue eating her b'fast)
Mrs. S: My goodness girl... it's semen with an "S" laaa.. not cement as in the one used in making bricks....
Binx: oooooOOOOOO....... no wonder larrr (blushing red... malu malu...)
Mr. I: Now we know how innocent you are, girl.
Binx: Me bit blur laaa this morning... (dang!!!! hits the head with the spoon..)
Mrs. S: *LOL*


Binx: hope the blur sotong syndrome doesn't last the whole day.... (maybe I've caught the bug from someone...*winks*)

LLB

Was LLB'ing since lunch today.. It's not that I don't have any work to do. Was really in full gear the whole morning. However, after a McChicken lunch break, the LLB syndrome started to kick in...

What does LLB stands for?

Look Like Busy


How to LLB?

It's simple

1. look as if you are concentrating very hard on something
2. stare long and hard at the PC
3. surf your fav sites, blog hop, d/load songs, play games, chat on msgrs, do anything your heart desire

Warnings

1. always maintain the serious expression on the face
2. when reading funny blog posts, try not to laugh so hard.. a smile would do..
3. make sure that your PC position does not face your bosses room, or anyone else that matters
4. make sure there's an open file, scatterred papers, pens, and calculators on the desk to add a dramatic effect.. don't leave it clean or for sure will kantoi with the boss...
5. always have a work related window open as well, so that you can easily switch to it whenever the boss comes over to check on you..

So.. that's it... Happy LLB'ing ppl...


Binx: am bored... very bored...

Sayonara Lil' Sis

Lil' Sis finally left for Perth last Sunday... with 5 huge luggages, 2 boxes checked-in and 3 hand carry bags.. And yes of course it was over the limit, but she was lucky that Mom had some contacts with the MAS crew and they waived the charges.. hehehe..

The scene at KLIA... of course it was filled with hugs, hugs and more hugs.. and lots of tears. Especially between Lil' Sis and her 5 girlfriends.. (check out the updated fotopage)

In Perth, Aunty Yah's husband had to pick them up with his meat truck *lol*..
"Her stuffs are as heavy as one whole cow!"
Mana tak berat as a cow... she would have brought more if she could fit her entire wardrobe the in bags.. *winks*
