Beautiful hair?

I got a hair cut today + treatment. Planned to curl it up but I chickened out. I'll do it the next time I go to a salon. Now, main focus is to keep my hair helathy and beautiful (muah ha ha ha)....

Word of the day: Ubiquitous Computing

An IT environment in which anyone can access from anywhere at any time. The word 'ubiquitous' is from the Latin language and means "existing everywhere at the same time". It was advocated by Mark Weiser as "Ubiquitous computing", where a person uses several computers. Previously only a concept, the development and popularization of IT technology is making it a reality.

Hungry Ghost.....

Yesterday was Hungry Ghosts’ Festival…. There’s a big show @ Tmn Connaught till late @ night. Noisy. As usual, helped out with the ritual. Burned incense, candles, money and other stuff as an offering to those wandering spirits, which is set to roam free the entire of this 7th mth of the lunar calendar…. Speaking of hungry ghost, there might be one in ALSTOM as there are complaints about food gone missing from my ex-colleague's small fridge under his table and one can hear strange noises if you work till quite late.....Hmmm....

Energetic?

It has been a busy, busy week last week. From work to exhibitions to seminars to classes…The week started off as usually. Me complaining about how bored I am in the office, nothing to do but to read about the services and products, prospecting customers, blah blah blah….Really boring. Then came Wednesday, where the DMEC exhibition started in Shangri La. Have to help out. Thursday is worst because I need to be on duty for the exhibition- the whole day. My legs are like rubber by the end of the day. So, what did I do there? Smile, hand out brochures, handout free gifts, and explain about our company. Hmmm…And then have to rush off to classes on both days. Tiring….Friday is hectic. Seminar in the morning @ PJ, rush off @ noon to Cyber for site surveying and then off to another seminar in KL and then rush home for a part time job. Phew….But surprisingly Friday I was still so energetic after a long day. I watched TV till 1 am, then woke up Saturday morning @ 4am to do something….And still not sleepy the next day….

Movies review.....

When my connection was down for a day or two last week, I managed to finish a very important task. A task which I have been putting off for quite some time because I was too busy 'exploring' the net. The task is...(drum roll pls...) finish watching a few movies!!!(which I got from....-you know i know lah). Just want to share my views on these few movies...

1) King Arthur
Not quite up to expectation....Troy is a lot better......None of the actor stands out in the movie but Lancelot is qute handsome.2 out of 5 stars....

2) 13 going 30
Good movie.....Jennifer Garner is just so charming and beautiful...4 out of 5 stars....

3) Monalisa Smile
Interesting movie...Great cast.....I'll give it a 3 out of 5....

4) The day after tomorrow
Lots of special effects....Cool movie.....3 out of 5

Watched "Garfield" with Foong Ling. Entertaining movie. Odie is so cute. He steals the show. 2 out of 5. And Just yesterday, I watched "Bed of Roses" starring Christian Slater. He is so cute in the movie. The character he plays is just so sweet. I wonder if there is any other guy as romantic as him......I give the movie a 4 out of 5.....



Love

A friend asked in her blog "How do u know when u are in love?"-http://www.su_.blogspot.com/. Interesting topic to be discussed..... How do we really know when we are in love? Is it love when you are so anxious to see that person yet you are nervous to meet him? Is it the adrenalin rush when you finally see him/ her? Sometimes we fell in love with the wrong person at the wrong time or place but is there really any rights or wrong to be in love? When you finally found that special person....at times you feel that you might have made the wrong decision but you still love him/ her a lot....So, IMHO, love can't be defined....There is no right or wrong in it....You can't control your feelings and you definitely can't control other people's feeling towards you. You need to experience it and it might not be perfect but that just adds more spices in it. ;-P

Ambition

‘Do not betray me’, says ambition.
‘You can be the best in whatever you choose. Because I say you can. You are not going to go with the flow. You are not going to fade into mediocrity. You are not just another student. You have a dream. You have a purpose. And you’ll thank me when you make it.’

The grass is greener on the other side?

16th Aug.....Anxious but nervous at the same time. New job, new colleagues, new challenge....I just hope that I can suit into the environment. I am the only one joining and I know it's going to be tough.So, arrived @ 845am, rang the bell @ 18th flr, UBN Towers and a sweet lady opened the door for me (i learn later on that her name is Fiona). No much people around. Met some of my group's staff...they are ok but a bit difficult to clique with.Some, as usual, very sombong loh....Then, spent the whole day reading and TRYING to understand about the company and it's services.Very blur blur....So, am I happy that I changed job? Hmmmm....hard to say on the 1st day but I definitely missed ALSTOM's environment....So, today is the 3rd day and my conclusion?he grass is NOT always greener on the other side.So, what can I do now? Start everyday with a resolution - to do my best in whatever I am doing....Sometimes there are things you really do not like to do but you just can't quit because of some commitments....so just have to do your best till you find another challenge.....

Wandering mind.....

In class now but mind is somewhere else....thinking of something or someone :-P .....Well, just wanna say that I can't concentrate in class now.Cold and sleepy.

1. Soon Yeng's farewell
2. Foong Ling's belated bday
3. Me getting a new job
4. Chai Yee's and Foong ling's graduation
We had a great time......

Met Shirlie, my ex colleague, after the dinner. She's staying in Cititel coz she's here for a 2-day shopping spree. She bought 5 pairs of shoes that day......Imagine that....Had a great chat and finally reached home just in time to watch Queer Eye for the Straight guy...

Goodbye ALSTOM

It has been a hectic week...With all the work and handover and farewell lunches.....Finally, it's time to say goodbye to all my colleagues. Although I don't like the job but I've got used to the people around me, the environment, it's sad to leave....Took a couple of nice pics with them. My department went to KLCC for dinner at Aseana. Had a nice time though the food is not very nice food. Planned to watch a movie after that but TGV was out for the nite coz there's not electricity....So, end up going home early. Just in time for Amazing Race....So, Next week will be a brnd new week and a brand new job...Cross my fingers that everything will go smoothly......Goodbye Alstom...I'll miss you all....

Sick & tired

Yeah, been sick these past two days....Fever and a bit diarrhea....Hmmmm...same like Su lah....Wanted so much to take MC but can't afford to. So many things to do, so little time. Stressful- maybe that's why I fell sick. Anyway, I watched a Thai movie n TV last Saturday-Tigress of King River. Not a nice show but it caught my attention coz got a cute actor in it- Panu Suwano if I'm not mistaken. He's cute.....

Congrats!!!

Nice job Soon Yeng....Really wanted to attend but unfortunately, my leave are all used up for my short notice so, have to miss this....Sorry....Congrats again....

Mind your English....

Someone gave me a pack of sour plum from China.....Here are some of the wordings on the package...

- Lovers' Plum: Secretly made by ancient way by inheriting the tradition.

- If you have any different opinion of our product, please kindly post the package of the product to our company or dial our consumer service telephone and advise us. We'll contact you ASAP.

Well, to me it sounds weird and bit funny......What say you?

Missing them.....

It's been quite some time i did not post anything....Been quite busy since I announced my resignation....Colleauges/friends are all asking the same questions- where will I go, where is the new company, why I leave and so on....Then, have to settle things in my new job- open a/c, check up, getting my offer letter, surveying my new workplace.....then, there are things to settle in my current job so I do not leave anything hanging and unfinished....lots of things.....very tired yesterday and today coz there's really a lot to do....Wish I can have a few days off before starting the new job but I can't....Sigh....But nevermind, I'm happy...But then really starting to miss all the ALSTOMers....sometimes they drives you up the wall but we've been through so much.....Miss you all....
