Heheh... didn't blog yesterday.... got home very late, didn't want to type out blog.

Anyway, work has been rather....... well.... not entirely, but sometimes I finish my stuff too quickly and then there's nothing to do....sigh.... I even now resort to going up to my boss asking for stuff to do. Well, sometimes he teaches new things, sometimes he gives me some stuff, but sometimes he says..... you hold on.... relax first..... oh well....

Yesterday, after work, Senan and I were going to a Career Club gathering at my teacher's house. I was invited.....after all, I was their boss for a year or so and successfully started a tradition for the club. PLUS, I finally get to see both my daughters at the same time. A rare occurance....

It was a pot luck gathering, so I rushed off to Tom's to get some chicken.... as usual they made me wait.....and wait..... for about 20 minutes..... geramnya. Returned home and picked up Senan, his gf Wirawan, Lee Fong and another of my brother's friends. Then off to Taman Tun. Heheh... haven't been to that area for 2+ years, kinda had to make a couple of turns to find the right road.

It was fun.... meeting all my friends from that club. Hahah... although I was the oldest there (aside the teachers and their husbands) and there were those that were new to the club and I did not know them at all, but still half the group were known to me...... time flies. As foresaid, met up with those two daughters of mine too. Basically none of them changed much except for one particular person.... he really gotten chubbier and fatter. As for me, well..... I returned to my original weight so they weren't too surprised.

As usual, the food too much.... teacher always have leftovers. Teacher also made all the past presidents line up for a photo session again. Sigh... of course starting with senior muah. Also played Charades..... something my club had been doing since my term as boss. We so expert at it already out of 30 acts, only 1 wrong. Cheh wah.... these people are the best charades people I know. Communicate well and knows what each other thinks like.

As for my successor, Sarah, she is still as naughty as ever!! But she's still fun to be around. We continued our tradition of banging each other. She bang me, I bang her. Got hit by a spit ball, returned the favour. Sigh...... it was a good night :).

Today however, nothing special happened. Hmmm...... oh yeah!! I got an interview for a position in PWC next thursday. Half to take half a day off from work to rush to KL and back. Oh well..... cuba lar. Hopefully my boss doesn't mind. I already took monday off so I can go back to Seremban.

Terence, my older brother asked my why I used Sakura as a Winamp skin! The nerve!! She's nice what!! Then he says she has no personality....... WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY THAT??? Then I banged him saying that his Rinoa has even less personality other than being a spoilt, undecisive brat!! NYEH!!! Somemore he use her as winamp skin.....taken from me somemore!! BEH!!

I still have work tomorrow, half a day. Supposed to meet Chuen Ian and Phang I think.... that Ian's not around to confirm anything...... bugger.

Short entry... wanna sleeeeppp

Finally finished my paperwork!! And the best part is, no more came in. Heheh... I beat the rush..... for a while.... my boss then caught me and gave me a new job. Then sat in front of some lousy PC with monochrome monitor checking info. Sigh.... at least it's something new. When returned to my usual spot..... the new paperwork was nicely there for me. Telling me that tomorrow's another day.....

Now and then, here and there has ended.... sad ending..... but sort of crappy anyway. Will be watching Vandread, if it's nice I'll continue, if not....... it's out of my viewing time!!

Sigh..... what else arrr...... aiyah......too tired to think. Napping was a bad idea. Feeling more groggy than ever...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sigh.... it rained when I left the office....... again. My mom says it's a sign. Hahah... maybe it's a sign that I should move on pretty soon :).

Can't say much about work today. Still the same stuff. Although I try my best to clear the table of all the paper, more and more comes in!!! Oh well, at least I have a small stack left behind..... but who knows who much that pile will grow over the night..... sigh...

But here's something I learnt at work today: Never EVER try to hit on a customer..... ESPECIALLY when the phone calls are recorded. I guess this applies to making lewd phone calls to your gf/bf (BIG hint to Hani, for future reference lar). The recording machine is right next to where I sit. The managers were investigating a complaint a customer made. Female customer somemore. So I overheard this conversation.

Employee (guy): Hello, may I speak to *name* (sorry I was never good with names)
Girl: (sounds like a young woman) Yes speaking.
For this first call, everything seems normal. The normal explaination of who he is and what information is needed to obtain from her.
*phone call no 2*
Girl: Is this about the payment again?
Guy: No no... I'm just calling to see how you are.
Girl: You must be bored in the office.
Guy: Hahah... sometimes, how's your chinese new year preparations?
Girl: Not finished yet.
Blah blah blah
*now interesting part*
Guy: Where do you live?
Girl: Sri Hartamas.
Guy: Really? I work in TTDI. Maybe we can go out for lunch soon.
Girl: (thinks he's kidding) Yeah... okay.
Guy: Great!! When?
Girl: Huh?? You're serious?
Guy: Of course. Any problems?
Girl: Well, I'm already attached....
Guy: What? You're engaged?
Girl: No.... I'm married... (I think she's lying, she just wants to brush off the creep)
Guy: So what? (what the hell??)
*Girl stunned for a few moments, then hangs up.*
*guy calls back one more time, girl has already pulled out her phone wire*
So now, I guess she made a complaint and the management is on a war path.

Cindy: OKAY!!! I'll go out with you on Sunday.... anime hunting in KL ya?? I forgot... where's Alan??

Lilian: How's the house? Me kinda stuck in the office in one dinky little corner in front of an aircond.... freezing my arse to the chair.

Yu San: Did you find out Christine's sirname? What have you been doing?

Samantha : Thanks for the CNY card!!

TJ: I wonder if you read this blog........ so I think I'll save the "feel better you doink" message for an email

Nina: Errrr...... errrmmm...... Yosh???

Oh yeah...... work related...... I want an MP3 player so I don't have to listen to a stupid malay channel!!!! (suffered for 5 hours today). All my anime MP3 should suffice!!

Alrighty then...... details about what I'm doing.

Firstly, I'm a definate TEMP worker. No appointment letter or anything like that. Job title wise..... I think I'll call myself TEMP worker at Standard Chartered.

As you all know I'm placed in the Authorisation Department. Well..... currently I'm doing paperwork..... Matching card numbers with those in a log book, filling up the log book and all sorts of filing stuff. Geeee...... very clerical work. Ouch... back hurt from bending at an angle for too long. Sigh..... how unchallenging..... all you need to do at my level is to be able to read and add numbers. Brain bored....

Okay, what's more, I have to work 8 hours at least a day. That doesn't include lunch you know. So if I want to leave at 6pm, I'll have to report at work around 9 am. Providing I take 1 hour to makan of course. At the moment, I'm not required to take night shift. That's because I don't handle the telephone calls yet. And I work during bank days. So none of that 6 day work 2 days rest thingamajig.

So here's the big scoop on my supposed salary. As a temp worker, I'm basically working for peanuts. I'm getting RM7 an hour. So basically, in a day I would make slightly less than RM50 (minus lunch and transport costs). Oh well..... hopefully I get to change job really quick!! I'm scheduled to get a job after CNY. Don't tell my boss now though... tak nak let him know I'm running soon :).

Oh yeah......got drenched...... rain bad to me........

Heheh... about yesterday's blog.... aku tertidur.... tak nak bangun....

Well, yesterday went out with the YCCians. Let's see..... there was Yu San, Cindy, Kuan May, Joa Quim, Haz, Nina, TJ, Boon and of course myself. Met at the Durian Shoppe. Gee, at least the smell wasn't strong, otherwise I would have just died right there!

Went to have lunch at Dave's Deli and after lunch went around window shopping while some of the other YCCians went to shop for other stuff. For example, Yu San went to get a fisherman's hat. Errrmmmm..... I guess she was just slightly off yesterday :P. Now... where's the bomb shelter I was hiding?

Then hit the arcade to play a couple of games. Wow.... Kuan May can Daytona!! Very good somemore!! Sigh.... after all these years, Cindy, Lilian, Cheng and Sandra were the original teachers of the game to me..... yup.... I'm still not up to their standards. Hahhah.

Strange.... didn't seem to have done much, but still managed to spend about 5 hours with them. Hahah...... kinda fun, considering I don't know half of them that well. Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of knowing you guys!!

As for today, went to Midvalley for some Career thing sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resources. Overall, the place was....... dull. Sheesh. The booths were hardly decorated nor able to give much information on what the company is doing. Well, can't say ALL of them were lousy, but only a few booths actually were informative. Anyway, signed up for this gaming company based in Pahang. HAhah... see lar, if they call I'll consider it once again. I'm young I'm still able to cope with changes.

Oh yes..... today's gang was Lilian, Joa Quim, Yu San and boy, and YS's boy's friend, Leo. Heheh... if I said YS's Boy boyfriend I think I'll be clobbered.

Lunch was in Shakeys. Service was kinda bad, but can't really blame them. Full house and all.

Then went back to my area to play CS. Joined by Sandra and Daniel and Chuen Ian. Sigh... I didn't really play well. Must be another phase coming up. Oh well.

Couldn't join the rest for dinner because I did not inform my parents about it (I didn't know!! You can't blame me!! I'm not psychic!) so I went home after CS.

Geee... I seem to be typing this entry pretty quick, maybe it's because I'm kinda fidgetty about working tomorrow. Okay people!! I'll explain the job in detail tomorrow!! Till then, YOSH!!!

*Fabian listening to Sakura Wars mp3s...... wants to get the TV series on VCD pretty badly.*
