an account on my 1st week at work

on monday, i arrived an hour early to report to work, not many people were in the office, so i spent my 1st day reading and trying to sort things out myself... had dinner with paul and pratheeban, which is like awesome... the guys, just made me laugh and laugh, and i laugh so hard, i think i cried... the good old days...

on tuesday, again, arriving an hour early, and the office has more people, and then, the action started, meetings and handovers, gosh, so much to absorb, but my puny brain isnt build for all these... and then they told me that i should report to site the following day... what about accomodation? where do i stay? man, this is no good... during the interview, they said that i can have the option of living alone or they provide, i said i prefer to stay on my own... about a month before i report to work, they told me that only if they fail to provide, then i can stay on my own, so i did not look for a place, and now they told me that they did not look for a place for me since i wanted to stay on my own... crazy...

on wednesday, drove to kamunting with hubby... they manage to find a place for me, and well, the place is crappy, ended up staying at this cheapskate hotel with hubby... thankfully we found a place, but the guy needed a week to clear the place for us... so i guess by next monday or tuesday i should be able to move into the house...

on thursday, meeting, discussion, reading, nothing nice...

friday, i am starting to blend in... the place is nice, quite and nice views... weather was good... rain and rain and rain...

by saturday i am already tired... drove back to klang after work... and now i am just resting and doing nothing...

to sum up, the new place isnt that bad, but the new company is kinda crappy... they don't give us internet access at all, only email... and then when i walk past the it guys, i saw them surfing like crazy and chatting like nobody's business, talk about control, grrr...

i ordered my dell, not too sure when i'll get it, and once i get it, i'll at least have a computer to update and chat and play some games... we'll see...

unemployed

being unemployed isnt that bad really... i gave back the handphone and computer to the office and drove home after that...

it started to rain as i was driving home... i guess i was no longer rushing, relaxed maybe, and the rain slowed me down, so i sang to the radio, and drive home slowly... seriously nothing on my mind, never knew that having no work stress can be feel so good...

i cant chat online as i have yet to buy a new laptop... so i tried to use the phone to go online, not the easiest thing to do... check a few emails, replied from fellow colleagues to my "farewell" mail earlier... most are good wishes and some really funny... nick said "you are free at last"... and bidyut said "i know i'll be tempted to call you..."

driving back from office brought back bitter sweet memories from the workplace... already i am missing all the fun times gossiping with faridah and roza... and faridah... she is such a wonderful person to work with... and she too said she missed me already...

the worst part about all these is that you leave behind the great people you have worked with... the company isnt the best in this world, but the teammates, has got to be one of the best... you don't get combination like this much tho'... people from all corners of the world, and yet blend together so nicely... miss all of you already!

went to bed at 9 last nite... nice nice nice...

this morning, wanted to call my mom and sister for breaky, then sis said she wants to send ian over, so it's babysitting for me... took ian swimming, kinda relaxing... a weekend of doing nothing...

now, i am using sis' comp to come online, still wondering if i wanna get a laptop or i should just stay away from computers...

maybe i should stay offline for good? let's see...

beijing

the phone rang at around 5 in the morning on friday... the guy said that the flight will be delayed to 10:40, i drop back to bed and slept...

arrived in the airport, checked in and went to the lounge... at the lounge, i saw the cutest thing... a boy, i think around the age of ian, was at the food table... he took so much of the packaged biscuits, and he kept dropping them... he must have at least taken like 10 or 12 packs... and then a lady asked what he was doing... he just said "i will be in shanghai, my mommy told me to take lots of this so that i will have something to eat later"...

spend some 6 hours on board, watched 3 movies, almost... i did not finish the last show i was watching, they came to collect the device back... after the 2nd movie, i wanted to nap, and i thot i napped, i woke up to realise that it was only 15 minutes...

arrival at beijing was pretty smooth... came out and saw the guy waiting for me, so i followed him to the carpark, while waiting for the car to come, i witness a fight!!!

nothing much happened in beijing so far... went to work, go back, handover, go dinner, lunch, sleep, got scolded by taxi driver (i also dunno what happened, he just suddenly shouted at summer, and told us to f*** off), that's all... went shopping with summer, and she took me to all the big brands... too pricey, cant afford... but we went for manicure, it's pretty cheap... but dun complain about quality la...

handing over was quick, the guy was not interested in my lecture, said that it's too complicated, and he wanted to study so that he can ask question, until now, no question, well, not my problem... i handover my job in 3 parts, each to a different person, the only common comment i get was "oh so much to do"... how come when i said that no one bothers? anyway, it's not my baby anymore, they can do as and how they like it...

cant log on to fb in the hotel, cant log on to blogger in the hotel... grrrr...

home sweet home

arrived home at about 2 yesterday... and what did i do after??? i slept and slept...

woke up around 8 in the nite, went out for dinner, come home and then sleep somemore...

was supposed to wake up earlier this morning, and go have breaky before my facial, but i was still worn out, so i slept til 9, and hubby went out to pack breaky instead... he is so so so sweet these days...

so i went for my facial... and then went to my sister's to help her connect to the internet... she's got herself a nice looking notebook... not really value for money tho'... well, i need to get one of those myself, but heck i am out of cash... gotta wait before i can get one... but i'll need to return this soon, and if i don't get one sooner, i'll probably have problems adjusting...

looking forward to the relocation, but a little excited, worried, stressed, all at the same time... need to find a proper and decent place, not too far from work... at the same time, the place has got to be properly connected... man, this is hurting my head...

but i do not know if i report to kl or kamunting still... apparently they called and said that i should report to kl and then called again to ask when i am going to kamunting... confusing...

will be going for interview in leighton this wednesday, and i don't know what to expect, i'll take it more like going for a talk sort of thing, it's not really nice to quit a job before starting... it's so unprofessional (is there such a word?)...

will be going to beijing next friday and be back in the week after, and i guess i need to go to india for one last time... gosh, so much of travelling, i'm tired... right now, i think i'll go back to sleeping...

and "happy mid-autumn all"

spend about 9 days or so in india and came back on saturday, in time for the holidays... can't say i did not enjoy... went for a pedicure and manicure... but it was a horrifying experience... this is not the 1st time i go to the nail parlour in aeon bukit tinggi, but this will be my last time... the pedicure was ok, as usual... but the manicure... gosh, that stupid woman just cut off a piece of my flesh... need i say more? ouch...

went around to look for place to do my tattoo... finally found a place that was quite decent and the guy seemed quite professional... so, i will be making an appointment to get it done...

had dinner with my sister and mom... and realise that emotions are very fragile, and so are relationships... for those who knew me from ages ago, i guess you guys know how much i trust men when it comes to responsibility and relationship... well, i would say that what i found out today reinforce the believe i have in my heart all this while...

been pretty depressed since dinner... felt kinda bad... and there are so many things to be sorted out... oh no... if this continue, i'll go mad!
