Selfish??

I know that from the moment I accept the new job offer, there are a lot of things that I have to give up. And some of these things made other people around me feel disappointed. I am so sorry but I need to think of myself sometimes. We all need to be selfish at one time or another, for our own good.….

New challenge

I've got the job!!!! So happy but nervous at the same time. New challenge for me....IT consultant...Sounds nice eh....At least I'm on the IT track now. I tendered my resignation to Jennie and Arthur. No surprise for them coz I've long hinted that I really want to join the IT line. Have yet to tell Peter, I bet he'll be quite surprise that I have to leave in such a short notice. I'll miss them lar. Although there are some bad times but I've grown a lot here. And not forgeting all the guys (*wink*wink*)  that I've grown quite close to. I'll miss you allll.Don't bully the new secretary, okie?....And my thanks to F&C and HR for all the help that they given....A bit hesitant to leave but I must move on. So, goodbye ALSTOM and here I come, NTT......

Memory....

Went down to 5th floor on Wednesday to collect some files. Reminds me back of last year when we were still there.Lots of good and bad memories. I used to wonder why some things that are not meant to be happened. Things that made us sad and happy at the same time. Things that gives us pleasure and guilt at another time. It's really hard to understand but all things happened for a reason. It makes us grow stronger and more mature. Good or bad, it's how we think of it. It's how we analyse it. So, occasionally, you might be sadden by it but hey...it's in the past....

Presentation time.....

Well, it's finally over. Went for the presentation yesterday. I can say I did ok but then they are only hiring one person so slim chance. Pray hard....

Traffic jam.....

5.10pm on a rainy Friday evening. I started my journey to Informatics for the class. Knew it would be jammed up coz of the rain earlier. Half way thru Jln Pinang, I realized I left my phone in my office drawer. Turned back to office and the second time I left is 5.40pm.  And believe it or not, I reached Informatics @ 7.15pm. A 15-minute journey become a 1 1/2 hr trip. And what caused it? No, not the rain, not flash floods but Malaysian drivers. Yes, drivers that apparently doesn't know what a yellow box is for. I don't really know how people can be so thick skin to sumbat inside the yellow box, knowing that they will not be able to go for the next 15 minutes. Just because of that, I have to watched the traffic light turn green, amber, red, green, amber, red......Other drivers started honking, but what's the use? And for that 1 1/2 hr, there are not a single traffic police in sight. Sigh....driving in KL really is a pain in the ass.....

Scariest Interview pt 2

Holy shit! I just got called for the second interview in NTT-MSC. This time they want a presentation about their products and company. I have to go through the website and then come up with a creative presentation. Should I or should I not go? It's for a sales cum support position. Really have to think through whether it's suitable for me or not. Sometimes just feel like giving up after so many interviews and then it's either they find me not good enough for them or I find them not suitable for me. I think I am really slipping into the comfort zone now. Part of me wants to change job but then the other part is scared of leaving what I have now. What if the new job turns out worst than this one? What if I can't take leave to go to NZ this coming Nov? what if I fail in doing a sales job as I have an introvert personality? This is what risk taking means. Trying something new and not knowing what will happen. I still have a few days to think about it.....

Scariest interview.....

Ai yo...I went to an interview in Cyberjaya yesterday. Company is NTT MSC- Japanese-owned company. So, I was not nervous at first because I went to many interviews before mah. When I go into the room, it reminded me of Malaysian Idol. There are 5 interviewers1 I started to get nervous as two of them were Japanese and when they start asking questions, it was so difficult to catch what they are saying.But then they are very friendly. In fact the local interviewers are worst. Their attitude and they way they asked questions are a bit sarcastic....Anyway, I was lucky because for this interview, I did my homework. I searched about their company and prepare the common questions asked during an interview. Everything went ok but...my handphone rang in the middle of the interview!!! I really forgot to turn it off. So there goes 20% of my marks....So, just keep my fingers crossed.

Starlight Cinema

It's been 1 week i didn't update my blog....Busy lah...Have to study...So, let's see what happended in the past week....Well, I can't think of anything interesting except that I went to Starlight cinema yesterday, Saturday 10th July 2004. Got 4 free tickets so don't want to waste it.
Cool experience....We(me, Poh Wai, Kong and Foong Ling)went about 5 sumting, arriving at Bukit Kiara around 6pm and surprisingly many people are already there. Parking is a big disadvantage as we need to walk VERY FAR to reach the entrance to the cinema. But what the heck, the experience is worth it. We saw that cute guy from 8TV Quickie, whom I do not know the name. Anyway, Mai and Imran suppose to meet us there later but it was so crowded that they can't walk to our spot. Well, there are still a lot of room for improvement.
1) Parking- should open up more parking in the club itself and not all around it.
2) Entrance- should be more organised
3) Toilets- hmmmm.....as usual-Malaysian public toilets but 10x worst
4) Designate walkways to let people go in and out instead of having to step on people's mattresses
5) More food stalls!!!!
6) Ban people with smelly feet and shoes from taking off their shoes....uhhhh....the smell in horrible....

We are very luck that it did not rain and the weather is so cooling. We only stay for the first movie (they are showing LOTR trilogy, BTW). I wouldn't mnd staying till 7am in the morning because I LOVE LOTR!!!! Anyway, it was a well worth experience minus the smelly feet and smoking from some people who doesn't know what NO SMOKING means.
So, a second time if I have the chance? COUNT ME IN!!!

I won!!!!!

I won!!!! I won second prize of a LOTR contest. Although the prizes are of not much use (keychain, characters collectible, mug and the trilogy VCDs-which i already have) but being an avid fan of LOTR, I am so happy!!!! Just hope the VCDs are the extended versions. The news really made my day yesterday....

Dirty Dancing

I could not really sleep last nite, dun know why, so I watched a bit of the movie, Dirty Dancing (downloaded illegally, he he he). Wah, so lomantic lar....Patrick Swayze looks soooooo hot....After watching it, feels like dancing, and dreaming of being in the arms of a hunk like Patrick Swayze....Sweet dreams and till then, Happy July.....

Just a thought....

While driving to the office this morning, I was thinking that it would be nice to have a younger sibling. Someone to call me 'cheh cheh', someone I can send to school/ tuition/anywhere, someone that I can help with their studies or just someone for me to bully. It would be nice also to have a older brother to take care of me.....
