It's official!! All temp staff are no longer allowed into the Authorisation Room. So I have labelled myself an Outcast Nomad of Authorisation. So can only do paperwork. No more phone calls.

But then today the system crashed so they were forced to call us in to assist with the calls coming from EVERY SINGLE MERCHANT in Malaysia. The phones just didn't stop ringing!! And to process the codes, was ONE lousy terminal connected to the VISA and MASTERCARD network. So busy busy busy during the down time.

Church was very looooooooong today though. Oh well...... happens every Easter.

Darn.....no mood to blog....... must be because I can't fulfil everyone's wishes at the same time. So hard to plan!!! I guess I can go out in two groups......but it'll take some manuevering.

Sakura Wars news: I got the package. Became very very happy. But didn't open it because has pressing matters to attend to. After got home, opened it. Happy.......happier.....happier!! *music drops* Eh?? Where are the DVDs???

The following is an explaination of what happened as I explained it to Haz.

^HaZ^: (10:17 PM) konbawa! got the dvd yet?
Dargent: (10:19 PM) errr........ okay...... there's been a complication
I got the package from Poslaju today. Yup.... it contained my Sakura Wars -> Happy fabian
Opened package at home -> Open shrink wrap and open case-> Eh?? Where's the DVDS?? is it hidden somewhere? *check check*
*continued after response from you*
^HaZ^: (10:20 PM) LoL!!!! what happeneD?!
Dargent: (10:21 PM) Nope....... no secret compartments
*thought runs through head*-> OH NO!! what if the people at customs stole it??
*settling down..... few deep breathes and starts thinking*
*tbc*
^HaZ^: (10:21 PM) omg what happened?? was the case there or memang nothing there or whaT?
Dargent: (10:24 PM) the case was there......it just didn't have the DVDs!!
So I thought about it....... memang customs has opened the package (outside box) and have resealed it with a customs tape. So only customs has opened it before me.
Next..... the DVD case itself. The shrink wrap wasn't completely sealed. But the opening wasn't big enough to take out anything from the case! *bc*
^HaZ^: (10:25 PM) and then........?
Dargent: (10:27 PM) Came up with two conclusions
1) Customs stole it (unlikely though)
2) My friend's supplier shipped her empty cases of Sakura Wars
*takes daddy's handphone, charge to company mar!!*
*dials singapore, spoke to my friend, explained what happened*
came to this arrangement. She tries to find out from her side what happened, me cari customs and find out what exactly happens at custom checkpoints.
*TBC*
^HaZ^: (10:30 PM) omg that's just so.... hey, i'm really sorry for you but it's like, who'd want to steal sakura wars dvds???
Dargent: (10:32 PM) But later, I come online and recieved an email from my friend in Singapore
Upon recieving my call she opened her last remaining copy of Sakura Wars (she had 5 sets, shipped out 4 already) and found out that even that one was empty. So she assures me that some arses are going to fry (her suppliers). So investigation is completed. I was right!! hahah... now I feel like a police officer.
who want to steal sakura wars? ME!!
^HaZ^: (10:33 PM) heehehee sorry, of course
waaaah fabian so cool *applause*
so when do you think she'll get back to you?
Dargent: (10:34 PM) well, as soon as her supplier gives her the discs I guess. Muahahah!! maybe I should join the cops........ the only chinese there :)

Now to my interview. It wasn't really a 2nd interview, but another interview for a different job. Project management. Specifically called Enterprise Risk Consultancy. Oh well.... it'll be a good experience. Hope I get it!! Will know the results in two weeks again.....sigh.... I was sooo hoping on running from Standard Chartered next month.

Watched Ice Age with Chuen Ian. hahah!! I like the small rodent! So farnie!! Good movie overall. Disney better buck up!! Although it's animations are still a notch above, but plot and story wise they need to revamp.

Played CS too...... just held my ground against the forces of evil. Hahaha... just felt like saying that.

YAY!!! Lilian also getting crazy over Sakura Wars!! But for her, it's a relapse. Now I got someone to rant all I like to....... *HUGE GRIN*

More news, tomorrow day off!! Interview, so took opportunity to run away from work completely. I'm such a GOOOOD employee.

Anyways, if I went to the office tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to get into the office. Why? Apparently us temp workers aren't allowed into high security areas of the center. Geeee.... I hope this isn't permenant. I don't even know where they would put us if that were to happen. There's no space!!
*imagining* *Fabian sitting at the corridor with people milling about, with a log book in lap jotting down details from forms that come in through a small window above me*

Reading Haz's blog reminded me...... I noticed an abundance of "Kawaii" being dumped on me from the YCCians. I remember my ex saying this to me before. "I don't like being called cute, it means fun but ugly." Hahah...... don't worry, I don't think cute in that sense. But I feel like blushing so much when I hear any words refering me to that. Kinda makes me blush even thinking about it. AND YOU KNOW how much I blush.

Okay.....where was I??

Ah yes!! Today received visitors. My youngest aunt and my cousin + family. Met my cousin's mother in law and ........ my newest niece. She so small thing!

Grrr........ my dog bit me this morning....... bugger tried to shit on the road so I whacked him..... can't he do it in the field when I took him there? So he bit me. He got more whacking after he did his business at the field. Dumb dog...

Oh well....... wish me luck for tomorrow's interview!! Also picking up my Sakura Wars from the dang blasted Poslaju!

Gaaa!! I did come online yesterday...... but I couldn't log into ICQ nor could I get my IE to do anything!! Restarting didn't work, reconnecting didn't work.... so I gave up.

Anyways, I was called for a 2nd interview for PWC yesterday. That was so unexpected. I knew I was placed on a waiting list. But to be called after so long? Well, I'm not complaining. I get to take a day off. Yay!! Hahah..... I'll be in KL!! *evil look* You know what I look for in KL....

And I'll be heading to Poslaju office on my way to the interview. Pick up my package. Hopefully it's my Sakura Wars. And hopefully it's in one piece!!! Hahahah!! Just had a funny thought... what if in the middle of the interview, I reach into my bag, take out the DVDs, look at it, then give a big SIGH, then put it back! What would the interviewer(s) think?? Fun thought...

Oh darn..... tomorrow supposed to go to the photo studio to pick up my photos. Must remember must remember.

Shoots...... I had a lot of things to write.... but now all blank in my head. I am seriously not in sync these past few days. The shift work is sooooo not working on my normal rythmn.

Heheh... yesterday came home rather late so decided not to go online. Besides, had to wake up early for work.

Sunday started of with badminton. I actually woke up at the appointed time. Must be the fact that I had to be ready to go once Yu San picks me up. Yup... I did not drive. Car successfully hijacked by brother.

Lilian couldn't play badminton today so Yu San brought along her brother. After stroking, played doubles matches. First one, Yu San's brother (Yu Chong) and I vs Yu San and Tan. Next round, was the Chooi siblings vs the taller guys (Tan and I lar!! Who else?). Was pooped out halfway through the second match. Tired mar...... do you think it's easy to lug around my body mass? Not to mention all the stumbling around. But surprisingly, my side won both rounds. Even though I was a lame duck for most of the 2nd round. However...... I got whacked by flying shuttlecocks........ FOUR TIMES!!!

Got to take Cindy out for lunch. Then went to visit TJ at her house. She's looking better all right. Good for you TJ!! She's definately feeling better. Ice cream I owe her. Watched CardCaptor Sakura the movie at her house. Hahah..... Yu San was soooo upset that they were portraying 12 year old kids in love. Hey.... it's targeted at kids. So I kinda understand why. Well......let's withhold an explaination on Cindy's POV from my POV.... hahah... for mental and physical health...

Then went to Summit to play pool, arcade and to have dinner. Then of course.... the usual round of CS. Played quite well...... wheeeee!!! Sniper day!! Muahahah!! Aoi-Chan kicked ass!

Well, today I got three letters. That's a first!! Actually two letters and a notice. Nope... not a notice from courts, but a Pos Laju notification. Apparently they came this afternoon and found no one home. Well... if they insist on coming at noon during workdays of course! Anyways, I am not 100% sure, but it could be my Sakura Wars!! Nooooo..... my Sakura Wars is stuck in that danky smelly room in Brickfields. Must rescue it.... but it's soooooo far away!! Sigh..... have to ask them to deliver it to my house on Saturday. Waaaaa!! That's 5 days away!! Could it be it anyway?? I would have thought it was sent through a courier service...... not malaysia's national courier.

Oh yes the other two. The first letter was a bank statement.... oh poo! So I have money in the bank. Finally, it's a contest form from Readers Digest. Apparently I'm eligible to enter this contest that may award me a couple of stuff. A watch, a digital camera and a printstation, a car(or cash) and a cash prize. WOW??!! Hahah... tempted to try my luck. The watch is a definate get if I subscribe for a year's worth of reader's digest. Oh yeah.....cash prize = RM120k. And I'm eligible for a toyota camry worth 100k too!

Hmmm....... I better start writing that email for potential employers now..... eek!! Must not let laziness make me stay in Standard Chartered!

Oh yeah.... I counted last months hours..... me getting RM1160 in next pay.
