Farewell dinner and last training

The last training, ironically, was one that made me very nervous. I woke up in the middle of the night dreading it. Timmy said I’ve done it many times, but this time, it was as new to me as it is to clients. Since I was leaving, I didn’t bother reading much on it =P

Anyway, I pulled it through. Skipped those that I wasn’t sure, a manager who was supposed to attend didn’t, many weren’t FPO-adept and I’d think that I explained pretty well for the rest. Good bunch of clients too with my fav Sok May being there, so it was kinda havoc.

It came in a big bag but when opened.. It was a metal rhino keychain which Timmy thought was a metal pig =D Nevertheless, it was touching being appreciated; as Sok May said it was for the troubles. Well, I am paid to be troubled.


Evaluation form. If only it had come a wee bit earlier =)


When they found out that I am going to Toyota, they started giving me name cards! With written handphone number on it! Berebut some more. Unshamedly asked to call them if there are any opportunities! Don’t think I’ve had anyone give me their card unless I offer them mine. Reaffirms that I made the right decision. And starting earlier than expected, next week!

That night, we had a farewell dinner at TGIF. Wendy, James, Kin, Siti, MS, Lai Wah, Sherly and myself. Despite bringing my camera, batteries and even the battery charger, I brilliantly forgot the memory card at the office. Anyway, I soon lost my interest in pic-taking after MS’s pic-taking antics started to piss many of us off that night.

(no pics yet at the moment)

After dinner, I met Timmy for a nice walk at Digital Mall and then McD for dinner/supper. Nice moment =)

The people I’ve worked with for the past 1 year and 5 months..
Kin
The best thing at Nielsen. The office Streamyx but I guess that’s what makes her fun. Not a good idea but I confide (not everything of course) in her about my relationship. Best times was when with James; I think we make a great trio!

James
Good friend #2. His softness and gullibility make him a very good companion (to bully). If I am lazy to do something, I’d just whine and whine and he’d come over =P Sometimes I pity him for he is actually quite a nice guy beneath all the err.. softness.

MS, Lai Wah and Sherly
Lunch gang but nothing to talk about. Not into Chinese dramas and Lam Fung. Totally nothing to talk to MS, only teach Lai Wah her Erican homework and Sherly is the best for I can still make conversation and crap with her.

Lily
The 3rd person that I can talk to. A soon-to-be Klangite after getting married and looking forward to her wedding, where I can catch up with everyone.

Wendy
Talkable, occasional lunch partner. Once my Skype said “Apple Bottom jeans (jeans), boots with the fur (with the fur)” I was amused that she knows the song! Turns out that it’s her sons’ fav song =D

The insignificant ones =P
KusKus who either stinks or sprays so much perfume on himself like it doesn’t cost money. Kak Izan and Kak Su (quite confused between both) whom I exchange smiles at breakfast. Ermma who is sweet and having a thing on with Saiyidi. Dennis who greets my boyfriend but not me! Kwan the kaypochi that is too kaypochi for even a woman. And Siti the fierce lady who makes me laugh when she scolds people sei pat poh!

And lastly..
Madam and boss
Still mad at madam. The only thing I did ‘wrong’ was to resign, ok? Boss is funny.. what kinda boss sings Isabella loudly in his room. And I went to peek at him wearing a jacket sleeping on the couch and looking so comfy. Jealous! And the times he got stood up by TV3’s big bosses and then merajuk. Or when someone asked if he is going to their open house and he said ‘Tak ajak pun?’ Hahaha. And to think of it, I wanted to box his balls once. I still want to if he were to ask that question again.

What a company. It was really good, everything was good, except for the pay. 0.5 day to go tomorrow.

Timmy and Sue: A great year of love

First meeting
Romp KLCC near Famous Amos still hold special memories up to this day. In fact, it seems so recent that I was loitering there while waiting for him. And then we couldn’t find each other :D
After the screening.. =)

McD at MV
Subsequent dates were always at MV after work. I’d reach there first, wait in the car until Ridin’ Dirty rang and then I’d go in and wait at McD for him. Standing at the railings looking out for a man with hat, and breaking into a smile seeing his beam emerging from the sea of unfamiliar faces.

Dunkin, trolley and the escalator
Another MV date but this is etched in memory. We went grocery shopping in Carrefour, Timmy bent over the trolley with a list in hand looking very husbandly =P We had coffee at Dunkin til late and it was closing, so we had no choice but to part. Somehow it was a difficult goodbye at the escalator. That episode marked a new closeness that started the heavy-hearted feeling each time having to say good night.

Korean BBQ at Taipan
He asked if I wanted Korean BBQ or Spanish. I thought why can’t we just have something local and familiar but decided that Asian is surely a safer bet =P It turned out fun, the table was full of condiments and I remember the walking hand-in-hand to our car while he gushed at a sports car that I have no idea what up to this very day.
5th date


Dinner with Accenture guys
I was led (and he too) to believe that there would be spouses at the dinner. Turns out that I was the only one and err.. I wasn’t even officially his gf then. Someone thought that I was a new colleague. Whatever. Finding the pic on his blog was surprising cos we weren't officially together yet, yet he called me ‘princess’.
Some stuff


Interview and Haagen Dasz KLCC
I accompanied my boyfriend to an interview. Imagine someone bringing his gf along and introducing her to the interviewer =P Felt a sense of belonging, and it was truly a special time as he grasped my hand with the other holding a heavy silver briefcase, crossing the zebra crossing in the rain. Then we had Haagen and submitted an entry for its name-the-ice-cream contest. We called ours something like Tower of Love but guess they don’t share our towering love la =P We spent the whole day together; I’d say it was one of my best Timmy moments.
Confession

Raya 2007
We parked by the Tabung Haji roadside and bought all the clothes in half an hour =D Spent the wee hours of Raya morning in McD Bukit Rimau after I led him to some Econsave. Felt that we were in our own world. Spent the next day separately at the same location in Bukit Tinggi. One of my favourite moments too.

5th date

Spraying car and KFC
Had to trouble him to send and pick me from the spray workshop. Rushing from Bangi at peak hour to Klang is no fun task. Seeing a Honda City drive into the compound is a happy feeling. Then we had KFC in Sentosa before going home. Since when is KFC worth a mention? =)

My 23rd birthday
We spend the whole day together, from Sungei Wang to dinner to late night movie+dessert. The effort and atmosphere was overwhelming.. it was such a beautiful time and yeah, it was so overwhelming. I treasure and appreciate it so much.

Turning 23

Pangkor
Timmy’s birthday celebrated in Pangkor. I declare this as the best time ever, enough said. Best out of best moments was scooting our motorbike around the island, 2nd best was the many walks along the beach hand-in-hand eating black kacang rebus and 3rd is the running dripping wet from the beach back to our chalet across the road. We were totally alone in the quiet island.
Holiday in Pangkor and F1 and Idyllic life in the kampung


Genting
The first time to Genting, I accused him of purposely waiting til it rained to agree to go to the theme park. We sat in the freezing cold outside. It was so freezing cold and yet we found amusement in torturing ourselves and trying to finish the sandwich as quick possible.

Some stuff

KL Marathon
Semangat wanna take part but ended up walking almost all of the way =P An event with sweat and tears, literally. Ended on a good note though. He said I am annoying cos I kept asking how far have we got left or if we are there yet. Wasn’t trying to be cute but rather wanting to know well, how much have we got left so that I don’t run my heart out only to find out that there was another 9.5km to go =D Think it’s the first time he annoyed-ly said I am annoying =D Funny part was he had to run with his huge backpack, met Amran doing ‘miniature steps’, sitting sweatily in the train and then both fell asleep in the cinema while watching Horton Hears A Who =D
KL International Marathon and Medal! The Medal!!

Honda Power of Dreams
The blissful aka bahagia part was when we were smoking outside the hall waiting for it to start. It must have been something nice we were talking about or it might just have been the nice-ness of being late out together.
A photo, an opening, a musical and love stories

Valentine
Another overwhelming moment. Can melt in the atmosphere, it was so beautiful. The post and the pics say it all.

14th February , My Valentine and Valentine pics


Emily
We rushed from Pyramid to pay the down payment to secure her. It was a suspenseful ride; she could be snapped up anytime by anyone who came first with the money. But we secured her, admired her but had to leave her behind that day. The next couple of days were even more suspenseful but 10th May 2008, Emily was born. Timmy’s message said he’ll pick me between 4.00-4.30 and ‘yes, emily gonna be there soon he he he’. We got her, we love her and she is the best looking car among the Silvias, Skylines and Fairladies.
Look.what.Timmy.got , Emily pics

Petaling Street and Erican
Everywhere I go, I have to meet Timmy there. It was funny skipping the class just so I could meet him earlier. Sometimes it feels strange that you go to Petaling Street, your bf is there. You go to KL for interview, your bf is there too. We had a sweaty walk to Central Market and to Pudu eating keropok lekor along the way and wanting to stop the car and run down to buy more =)
In the seemingly long absence..

It had been a good year. Was listening to my current favourite, Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, as I wrote this. The melody, together with the lyrics was so appropriate. Dedicated to Timmy.

Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my and baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss

I wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

While Timmy was too busy to layan me..

Joys of Training
Just found out (by accident) that training tomorrow is off. Woot woot!! Some assholes don't tell you things until you ask. So I will start to cease being a responsible citizen and only say things when people ask.

I found myself smiling to myself during training, right in front of my clients. Ok, sometimes I do smile to myself but this was really nice! Then I waved at the screen to while trying to not-wave hahaha. And then smiled goatly. Such a fool la hahaha. We should have done this long ago, at the comfort of your own place within the frosted glass, where you can smile as goatly as you want =D

Since tomorrow's training has been postponed, immediately I stopped preparations and turned to blogging instead. Friday's training will be prepared tomorrow hahaha.

Follow up
Follow-up on yesterday's interesting interview candidate. She sent a thank you note that is now being circulated around the office. There was nothing about it, it's just that the shallow MS found it a practise so strange that she had to circulate it. Doesn't she know that it is the norm and is mentioned everywhere online, that a thank-you note is to be sent? I have never done it, only to Toyota which I wanted very much (but now not so wooty after all) and my freelance translation work. Other than that, I remain the cocky fart *smug*

Oh, that lady is 31 years old, applying for an entry level position and asking for a 3k+ pay. Why would anyone pay that amount when a fresh graduate can do the work for less pay? You gotta work harder lady (in big boss' room).

Which made me start thinking: You've gotta know what you want. You can't be working years as a stewardess and then realised that client service is your thing. By then, you are old but have no related experience, but of course you can't settle for a pay lower than your current one. Scary.. especially since I haven't found my footing. But banks pay well except that you need to do sales. So in case that I decide I don't wanna do research anymore, I just need to be willing to do sales but of course the pay wouldn't be that high after years of unrelated experience. Hah, whatever.

I found Sofi!!
'I' invited people to join a dating site, I invited myself too. Good thing, cos Sofi replied my email:

"Hey you,I haven't heard from you in soooo long and now you offer me a dating site?? What's that suppose to mean ah kawan...."

Hahaha, I haven't spoken to her for ages, dun even know where she is, so I was so very happy and thankful!

To whoever else who received that invite, it was just me missing you. Meant no harm.

From Kin
[5:02:03 PM] Kin says: [4:33:06 PM] Abe_fifth says: miss u like crazy
[5:02:09 PM] Kin says: u tgk tadi i buat pe el
[5:02:13 PM] Kin says: dah dpt
[5:02:15 PM] Kin says: ha haaaaaaaaaa

Old uncle said "miss u like crazy" to old aunty hahahaha!! So old already, and so cheesy, think singing Moffatts' "I miss you like crazy" meh..

Open house tomorrow
Since my training's cancelled tomorrow, I can go to TV3's open house. But the question is: Was I invited? Cos I resigned already. Well, it's not like there isn't enough food for one more or that it is a RSVP event, but.. not that I wanna go as well but everyone is going and I will be left behind. The strange thing is MS initially wasn't invited even though she is the one servicing the account. People like the secretary, IT asst manager and operations exec are going. Only those PR people/front line should go what, cheh. Just dun wanna be left behind ma.. we'll see how la..

Outing with Timmy's colleagues

Activity since morning: Tesco with Timmy to get money and for me to buy stuff, dim sum breakfast (these 2 are pre-outing programmes), walking around at Pyramid, watch people skating, watch a disastrous movie called Disaster Movie, walked more and then to Yuen for dinner. Didn't know what else to eat already from being there too many times in the last 2 weeks, so I targetted the chicken wings. Managed to get 2 courtesy of Kevin and one of the trainees' friends, but then, wasn't so fantastic already hahaha.

Wonder who was it who wanted to watch that movie.. cos Kevin said it sucks, Thayalan said it sucks too and probably Lawrence too, so who was it in the majority who wanted to watch?? Padan muka hahaha.

As most of the many pics are of me eating, this is the only one worth sharing.. =)

I like this pic =)

Job

Toyota. Since I have no information due to HSBC being such a wuss. Everyone I speak to advises me to go to Toyota at the mere mention of the name, so I guess the choice is justified.

Old job

I opened the door today for a lady heavily made-up. Then, she, boss, big boss and HR met in the meeting room with such joy that Lily likened to a Raya jamuan. A former stewardess it seems. So this is the kind of bimbo that’s suitable for a client service position. Big boss was so hard that he sat in the interview. Everyday he’s gonna get a stim =D So bimbo la but yes, this is what’s expected of a client service. Hooker ah??

While that lady was saying 'bye' to boss in his room after the interview, which took a good 20 minutes..

"All good things must come to an end" -Nelly Furtado
When things come/or coming to an end, you tend to regret not appreciating it. Well, I am glad that I had treasured and savoured every moment of breakfast had every morning. 11 months have suddenly come to an end. And I think I could only do better by publicly displaying more affection, which trust me, isn’t already at a healthy level currently.

Anyway, glad that I treasured and appreciated every moment. Don’t like feeling guilty or the ‘should have’ feeling.

Last one to share!

What on earth is this??

God please shine some light on me..

Monday and still no decision. High pay but sales and bank branch environment. Lower pay but office environment and research, which is what I want to do. Can money, faster career growth and a 26 days annual leave be able to motivate me to do disliked work in a disliked environment? Faster career growth? I don't even want to be a bank manager.

Felt useless asking for opinions; seemed that I am incapable of making my own decisions. It's just that since I have friends doing almost the same thing, I might as well find out first hand what it is like, isn't it? And finding out if Toyota has Internet from Phuan's sister's bf hahaha. I need my Internet; I already can't have breakfast with Timmy after I start my new job and no chatting with him some more..?

Surprised that everyone knows about Stan Chart. Really didn't expect people to read my blog hahaha.

Stupid me, it's a new entity, surely it will be a 'hunter' position. Duh!! Cos there's nothing to 'farm', bodohnya.. No one knows how much EPF is offered, no one knows exactly what am I required to do..

I've decided to leave it to fate. If Toyota agrees to give me that little bit more, I'll take it. Else, I have no choice but to go to HSBC and start thinking happy thoughts on the money, the prospects and the days of leave. But Toyota better make that offer. Doh..that money makes me drool la. I don't even have any banking experience and they are willing to pay this? Argh..come on, come on..

Last week here.. and I think I am really unfortunate that assholes want training at the very last week I am here. There are like, 52 weeks in a year. And we had just finished a session!! Cilaka. Don't want to do. Cho kau!

Updates on…

..work
Pissed. Found out that if I didn’t take the remaining leave that I have left, I would be reimbursed. Thrilled! Then boss said that there is nothing pending and wants to contra those days off.

Call it good luck that the annual dinner is scheduled in the final week of the 2 month notice. Then call it rotten luck that the leave needs to be contra-ed off. Not the matter of eating every last morsel out of AGB but I’m assured of something nice in the lucky draw. Everyone now is asking ‘So you won’t make it for the dinner?’ 1 year and I had to miss it in the final week when I am legally employed and forcefully unemployed. Whatever the heck is. It’s a conspiracy to stop me from attending the dinner!

Do me and I do you. Cost me 600+ bucks and a lucky draw and it serves you right that due to the forced upon shortened tenure (and lack of income), you are left with 2 (and possibly) more sessions of training. You said there is nothing pending, yet asked me to hurry? How to hurry? Well, you said the rest can handle, go handle then.

Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy.

..work again
We just had training and now you want training again. Bodoh ah? Can’t believe I failed to escape with flying colours and have to conduct 3 trainings during my last 3 days in this stupid company. Well, I could have been doing 5 trainings in 5 days but I am ignoring it at the moment.

Special mention to Sok May, a client who is very prihatin. She said that it’s a pity to be doing training on my last day, she would defer it if I didn’t prepare, asked me to give them to the others and called them sei yan thau for not wanting to take them. I love this person :D She is also the one that called me pontianak and also sei pat poh when I told her that I had already signed Stan Chart’s contract =D Let’s just say she is my favourite client and she is the only person I wanna add to my YM when I’ve left.

..job offers
Nil. Still waiting, waiting, waiting, getting desperate, pleading, pleading, waiting, waiting, til wanna go mad already.

…translation
Got my first article to translate, all 11 pages of them. Good already considering that I’ve been told the average is 20 pages. I like this job! Can be done during tuition class, tkd class and anytime while waiting for anything and anyone. So rike!

..outing
Outing’s been changed from Lagoon to skating and movie at Pyramid. Lagoon is maddeningly expensive at RM90 per person! Let’s call for a boycott and it serves them right that even without our boycott, they are already empty. The last time I went there, the fee was RM39 and still full of people. Padan muka.

..kid tales
Teaching for almost a year and a half, I’ve come across all sorts of kids’ names. Picaster is ok and could be cute (but it’s not something I wanna call my kid). Ryane and Rhyon are sweet despite there having no such name. But the one that beats me is Meshach. The strangest I have seen. As suspected, I searched it and true enough, it was a biblical name. Something like Messiah I guess? But that kid is like a hantu!

I have been thinking for some time, that I wanna name my kids something unique(-ly made up) and sweet. Like Ryane - there is no such name but yet it is pleasant. So I wanna give my kids something like that and am ‘creating’ one now =D Somehow Nuala and Nuada (from Hellboy!) keep playing in my mind now, they sound cool yeah? =D Cool but not kid-worthy.

Today is Thursday, tomorrow is Friday..

(A slightly delayed) Hello October!

It had been a good week. I got called for a second interview but still need to wait til the end of this week, urgh.. I got news on my interviews and positive news too :D I messed up big time and my boss didn’t even say a word. And best (so far) is I just got to be a freelance translator!! Easy money, can be done anywhere anytime. Have Timmy to thank for convincing me to go all the way to Melawati. I told you October was going to be a good month!

Edit: Got called for another 2nd interview. Macam ni lah, October! :D

Why else it is going to be a good month:
1. I get my Timmy back. Not entirely but good enough.
2. There are activities lined up: Timmy’s company outing (why am I involved then hahaha). So the posts would be on happenings instead of words from the heart.
3. Our 1st anniversary. Of no significance to you nor him but it is to me. We are one =)

So what happened over the long Raya break?

Pre-Raya holidays..



On the way home from work.. clear road, so steam!



Day 1: Mid Valley. Zones A and C closed, had to circle the dodgy Zone H for half an hour. Saw a silly woman drag a huge flowerpot with her car while trying to reverse out of the carpark entrance. So funny =D




Day 2: Timmy’s house to eat rendang. Ate until there was none left =P

Day 3: Fermentation, round #1.
Sent an sms to Mr Tay to remind the boy what time to come for tuition tomorrow, Mr Tay called the mum and turns out that they are in SG instead. If I had sacrificed a holiday for that sole class that got cancelled, I would have flipped. But since I had nowhere to go, so I decided to be cool and calm..

Day 4: Yuen buffet steamboat, Pyramid and Ajoy’s place
Didn’t expect Yuen to be open for lunch. Goodness, there was a lot of (sea)food! For the price of RM19.80!! Prawns (2 types), crabs, ‘lobsters’/sea bugs, fish slices, pomfret, all sorts of clams, all sorts of balls (not of the genitalia kind), all sorts of vege, fried rice, fried mihun, chicken wings(!), 4 flavours of ice-cream, jelly, fruits and kuih. So value for money. I didn’t have dinner that night, which is a great achievement for me knowing how much I need all my 3 meals (and more) each day.








The BEST!
Day 5: Same as per Day 4 sans Ajoy’s place
Eating 2 straight days of seafood buffet and chicken wings is not a healthy practice. But who cares? Going there again next week in fact!

That’s the summary of the long Raya break. Last year’s was better but I surely don’t wanna pull off that stunt anymore cos a journey to the unknown could be a harrowing experience.

*****
Being 23 years old gave me enough knowledge to share, gathered from experience and observation.

Info #1: Malls you don’t want to visit:
1. Mines Wonderland
2. IOI Mall
3. The upper floors of Times Square
…unless you have a thing for yeh-ness and dodginess.

Info #2: Seeds and Padinis are really good to iron. You might as well buy them since when on discount, they aren’t much more expensive than the other brands. Can’t find much ¾ sleeves ones though.

Related to info #2, pillows are not good for ironing on.



:D

*****
What disturbs me is that why would people attempt to change things that are already perfect, especially despite knowing that it would leave a dent? The mystery still plagues me to this very day. But I have a 'be thankful' bracelet, so guess I have to be thankful la.. (?)

*****
We were on our way to Amran’s open house and stopped by the roadside cos we were lost. Timmy was approached by this motorcyclist who claimed that his baby had just been given the wrong medication by a doctor and had to bring him to another doctor but hadn’t enough money with him. I dunno how true is this story as there was even an incident where a pregnant woman lured a Good Samaritan to being robbed. Anyway Timmy gave the guy 40 bucks. Not only it was 40 bucks but it was all he had in his wallet at that time. I, for one, would have given the guy 10 bucks as BoD (if I even give at all. Not stingy but there just seem to be a lot of these going on) and surely not until I don’t have any money left on a day out. It made me see my boyfriend in a different light. The same goes when he bought 'Bobby' (a vagrant who isn’t very sane) a burger when everyone else shooed him away. I mean like, when you walk pass a vagrant, would it ever occur to you to buy food for him?

So, that’s my Timmy =)

*****

It freaked the daylights out of me when my ahyee said I am my mum in the making. I have heard people say that I start to sound like her when I am mad/nag but never thought that there was so much similarity? Maybe it was an exaggeration that was meant to be a warning? Call it denial, whatever, but I am determined to repent! I will have faith in my children and will treat them fairly.

Disclaimer: I criticize people out of cockiness and amusement, bearing no similarity to my mother who do it out of purely having criticism in anything she sees.


In the mean time, welcome October again!
