No news yet about the pending job status in Standard Chartered. Means I'm still going to report for work on Monday.

I got an informal interview with my father's friend on Tuesday noon. The office is somewhere near Tropicana. Although I do know that he would rather have a female worker for a particular position he's looking into. It's in an advertising firm. (Now.... don't you DARE have any ideas involving my supposed alter ego).

Yay!! Tomorrow I'm not working!! Hahahah...... if I work on holidays I should get extra pay :P

Oh yes... should I still be in a job on Tuesday, free food!! Shakeys again! End of first quarter and the big boss wanna give the department a treat (Credit Card).

PLUS: Cindy is definately not a person to do to if you want to kick a habit. Eg. My caffiene dependence. What she does : "Why torture yourself, go get some! You'll feel allllll better." Phhbbbtttttt!!! A temptress!!

But I didn't give in!! I had NO coffee / tea / coke today. Had....... milo.

I almost finished Grandia 2... time to hunt for another game!! Whoopee!!

Sorry....... slight headache..... brains being turned to mush due to caffiene withdrawal. I'm trying to get off tea/coffee dependence. So suffering from it for the night shift.

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Multitasking not good today....

WARNING!!! WARNING!! Top management are handling the Temporary Staff in Authorisation case. They are reviewing the amount of work that CAN be done, what CANNOT be done and are going to decide whether to fire one of us. I think next week we'll know the result. Wow.... I get to feel the tension of a pending "termination".... and I only worked for 2 months!! Hahah...

Work sort of stopped getting boring. Since allowed to handle some other stuff. Yay! No longer bugging boss, "Boss.... anything else?"

I actually remembered my dream this morning! Hahah!! It's an achievement for me.....since I hardly remember any dreams. Maybe it was because it was extreamly bizzare. Why the heck was I driving a fire engine in a car park? Only to get down because I was "taking it for a spin". Oh... maybe it's because the lady in the dream also told me I was going to die in a few days time. Hmmm........ interesting :)

Not that I believe that is really going to happen. It's normal.... young = the feeling of invincibility.

Cindy, are you going to collect the pictures on Saturday?? Just wondering..... and if you are, until what time are you free??

PESSIMISTIC??? (refer to Yu San's blog) I told you that was positive point of view!!! Geez!! Behind my back go say I'm pessimistic......

Okay people, you tell me.... this case has something to do with "it could be worse" context.
Tan, stay out.... you probably biased :)
I asked Yu San whether she played CS after her Mandarin class. She said no, her mom picked her up (sad lar... duh!! She would have wanted to :>)
then I said : "Oh well, at least you didn't have to walk home."
LIKE THAT also call pessimistic. She claims that because she thinks that I think of all the awful, bad lucked stuff. I mean.... isn't figuring that a situation could have been worse make a particular situation not look so bad???

Moved back into the Authorisation room. Why? Well, bosses had a meeting, auditor said no, big boss said yes. Woo hoo!! No longer outcasts... but still got bored at work. Too little to do. Came home early again. Oh well.... at least I get some pocket money.

Hmm..... daddy owes me money for the month's paper delivery.... must collect... tak nak break my 50 note so fast!! Last week I spent too fast (I paid for my piccie.... RM40.)

Okay short blog ends here...... time to concentrate on....... FINDING a SAKURA WARS MP3!

Sleeepppyyyy....

I have no idea why I am so lethargic. I'm supposed to be so worn out on the first day of the week! 7 hours of sleep a day should suffice. Or maybe I've become dependent on caffiene. That's not good. Been having tea, coke and coffee.

Anyways, I MAY soon be back in the unemployed ranks. Here's why. Ever since the Auditors came, many restrictions have been placed on my job. Including no phone answering, no telex handling and other front line activity. I can't even park my arse in the authorisation room. Tomorrow I'll be briefed on exactly what I can do and what I can't do. So basically the temporary workers can only work on paperwork. Well... it doesn't take that long to finish it. Plus the mega sale is over. So today I was very very bored out of my wits. I kept asking my boss if there was anything to do. I can't read a book there, I can't listen to music... so what the heck am I supposed to do?? Stare into a log book and pretend to look busy?? I'd sooner fall asleep on it.

So today I actually came home earlier, because there was nothing left. Even the crazy other temp worker (the 7 days a week guy) was so bored he left at 2 pm (he morning shift). I talked to my boss. At this rate, he would only need one guy. Thus one of us (or both of us) will have to leave soon. The other temp is awaiting his results from his college (around this weekend) and according to that result he will decide whether he wants to work or not. As for me, once I land a job off I go... so first result will decide the outcome. HOWEVER, if he wants to work and I have not found a job yet, I will resign. He's working for the money. I'm just blowing time.

So I still have at least this week to make a little money. Not much...but still some. Today clocked in 5 hours only.

Oh well...... things aren't that bad. I'm still standing on my own two feet and have two hands. I'll manage!!

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!!! And I have lots of that!!

Hahahah..... forgot to write about yesterday!!

Went to watch Resident Evil with Phang and Chuen Ian. Cockroach changed the venue last minute so I gave him a whack. I don't see why he has such low pain threshold. Sigh..... I wonder what he learnt at his self defence class..... said he learnt how to tahan tickles (WHAT THE HELL?? What's that?? Some preverted gay center?? hahah!! I just find that really funny). After the movie played a short CS round with them in DJ. But then daddy called me home before the thunderstorm.

Weaseled my way into letting myself go for dinner out with Lilian, Yu San and Tan. Almost couldn't go because of the rain. But then.... the rest of them already had dinner!! (except Lilian.....so she only half jahat) After dinner...... CS!! Yay!! Can play properly without interuptions. In the afternoon I was good with the AK. At night, never became the terrorist, so used various guns. Okay playing lar.... had some laughs. But then I don't think I can be considered the sniper of our gang. Yu San definately an assaulter (stormer). Lilian... hahah... Berserker... very accurate dream neh? As for myself?? Erm.... tak tahu lar..... the team's Distracter? I draw people's fire.
