Before I even start with the post.. lemme just say, KL's traffic after 6pm is CRAZY! I reached Sungai Wang at 6.30pm and it took me 1 freaking hour just to reach Menara SCB (next to Pavilion) - MY GAWD!! THAT USUAL LESS THAN 2-MINUTES BLOODY SHORT DISTANCE TOOK AN HOUR! EesHhh..

Just gotten my offer letter from the new company. Everything's settled. Signed. Time to move on. I'm entering HELL again (well.. soon!), and its even deeper this time round' - but like I told my friends, if I'm not ready, I wouldn't have submitted my application in the first place.

And in regards to the 'why here, why not there' questions - well, 'Where' is not important - because its the same SHIT everywhere. I wasn't seeking for a greener pasture elsewhere. Its the experience of meeting different people that counts. Nuff' said - yah yah self-comforting whichever way you wanna look at it.

Oh well, its time to bid 'Adiós' tomorrow..

Eeks.. abit gancheong now pulak ):p

她﹐打來了。。聲音﹐不太一樣
很累似的。。沉沉的。。有種不好的感覺。
聽了叫人不舒服。
是壞消息嗎? 我。。被拒絕了嗎?

她說﹐"我看了你的電郵。。
也許明天就會有答案了"
。。。我﹐9點左右﹐再打給你。。OK嗎?"

我﹐"哦﹗" 了一聲。
"聽起來好像蠻不順利的。。"

她回一聲﹐"沒那回事﹗我待會﹐會再解釋。。"

一分鐘後﹐她傳簡訊來了。。
" 有人在旁邊。。不太方便說話"

我再次回了一聲﹐"哦﹗。。
了解﹗"

現在的心情還真的可以稱得上‘亂七八糟’
很煩呢﹗ 煩死了煩死了 煩死了 煩死了

亂七八糟的心情

26 January 2008

Looking for a job is not an easy task. Looking for a job which requires you to go through medical checkup and shit especially for post-BMT patients like me is HELL!

( A loud collective *SIGH* )

Looks like I gotta postpone my plan a little. The latest news I received is, I gotta go get a medical report from the Medical Record Dept. of UMMC (previously referred as UHKL) - where I usually do my monthly checkup. What I heard was, ING needs written consent from my Dr. regarding my medical condition. And although this is just for further clarification purposes, there's no way the HR's gonna release the letter to me because of that darn medical 'clause' stated in the letter prior to appointment. (So Jillie : you were right about the mah-fan-ness caused by my prev leu)

On the bright side, the HR is willing to help and do most of the paper work and deal with the UMMC people, minimizing the hassle (which caused me time and energy) as much as possible. So, she'll get some documents ready, fax it over to UMMC on Monday and see what's the next step - whether or not, I'd need to be there (at the hospital) personally or everything could be done at their side and all I do is collect it (the medical report) myself some other day.

( *Shakes head* I felt so moody already... )

I had the same issue previously when I first bought my life insurance 6 years ago. The same thing - need to go through the Medical Record Dept. shit and if I'm not mistaken, the entire process took ages. Now that's what I meant by having to postpone my plan a little. It'll take ages that's why! (I hope things would be faster now, WAY faster!)

..............

Of course, I could've opted NOT to tell anything at the first place and lie my way in. But I think it IS necessary. They (the company) ought to know and I think its just fair for me to inform them. No one's at fault. Just troublesome - cause I need to do an EXTRA step as compared to other people.

Morever, if I don't do it with this company, chances are, I'll have to do the same thing at another. So, the same issue still arises. Better acknowledge and confront it now than later - at least I get an idea of how complicated these things are in my case. No? (yah.. self-comforting, I know)

( *SIGH* )

Well, can't do anything at the moment. Just gotta wait~

In this game, I gotta be patient

25 January 2008

I've been worrying about today's medical checkup for the past few days. I've always thought it is 'THE' ultimate procedure which determines everything. But I was so wrong. Apparently, the Insurance coverage that follows, is what that matters.

The checkup went well. I told the Dr. everything about my medical history/background matchayacall-it. After the physical examination, chest X-ray, urine examination, Dr. said I'm fit for the job. Sounds good. Everything looks positive now, I probably can wrap everything up today, hooray!!!

But... wait~ I was then told, the medical report needs to be reviewed by the Insurance company (wat the fu*k). It'll probably take a day or two (double fu*ked). They need to verify if my medical condition is covered by the policy etc. (something like dat laar). And if things are cool, I can get everything done by Monday evening, at the longest.

Otherwise.. ..

*grin*

Let's hope there won't be an 'otherwise'.

By the way, I got my car back :D - looking better!
Just give it to me!!

Just give it to me!!

23 January 2008

Sent my car to the workshop this morning. Total damage: RM400 . Called the BH. After 20 minutes on the phone, he finally agreed to bear and cover the full cost. (Yaaatta~). Hopefully the car would be ready in 2 days time. Public transportation around my area is shit. I need a car!

As I have no transportation back home, I decided to take the nearby KTM station to MidValley - thinking I might as well go shopping. Trust me, I've never been on the KTM and hohoho.. I was having such a hard time figuring what's the difference between "interchange station" and "route interchange station" (I DON'T RECALL HAVING SUCH PROBLEM WITH PUTRA LRT/MONORAIL!!). I ended up following my gut feeling - well, actually... more of like following the people .. LOL.. just follow those who look like they're heading to MidValley and I'm bound to head towards the right direction. (AND I was right!! haha)

My first KTM experience:
PETALING -> KL SENTRAL -> MIDVALLEY
(RM 1.10 for Adult single journey)

Yep, I'm no longer a KTM virgin. Nyek Nyek :pPpP
Do we still have STAR?

My first KTM experience -.-"

22 January 2008

So, what happened?

Location: Sprint Highway (before exit to Sri Hartamas/Mont Kiara)
Time: 6.30pm

I WAS happily driving home from work when:

The 3rd car in front of me BRAKKKED!
The 2nd car in front JAM BRAKED!!
The car in front EMERGENCY BRAKED!!!
My car BRAKKED!!!!
The car behind me... COULDN'T BRAKE (fast enough) ~



Bravo! We were stucked on the 4th lane. Took me and BH (short for BL**DY H*LL ) awhile to get to the side of the road (Thanks to the jam and all the inconsiderate drivers. THANK YOU! *sarcasm*). I wasn't sure what to do next. For all I know, my rear bumper totally 'kemek'-ed and I was struggling to maneuver the car back and forth (the bumper was in the way).

BH got down, apologized.. exchanged name cards (yeah.. abit odd), told me what happened and said he needs to claim insurance. After >30 minutes of phone calling, exchanging infos (name, contact, i/c no. etc) and looking busy, BH told me to give him an hour or so. He'll drive back to his Sentul workshop to see how much the damage would cost - if he can afford it, we'll settle it personally .. otherwise we'll go make a police report.



BH called later around 8pm. He said he is able to cover the cost himself.. so, no insurance required, no police report necessary, he'll settle the bill (for me). Good. I'll just send my car to the workshop tomorrow, tell him the price and voila...

SIGH.. what a great evening.... and to think I can sleep till late tomorrow. SIGH!~

p/s: Saw Millfross. She and PP was on the way to Plaza Damas, they saw me and pulled over to see what's up. Didn't talk much though.. I felt bad.
Great! An accident.. a day before public holiday!

RANT! RANT! RANT!
Bosses/Directors - stop reading beyond this line!
A SO-CALLED "unfaithful" employee rant ahead!

Family can be so UNSUPPORTIVE! (Hell yeah.. I am talking about MY family!, you heard me rite! Hmph!!). The least they (parents) could do is congratulate me for getting an offer, but hell NO~ NOT EVEN A "Oh, that's good" or a *smile*- they just have to pull in another issue which I've made myself clear for gazillion times - the bloody yearly bonus ('bloody' cuz' I swear I heard them mentioning it every now and then since December) ! THAT's all they have in mind! THE BONUS!

"This is such a wrong time to resign.. If I'm your boss I won't give you any BONUS this year"
"I don't think you should look for a new job now - What if it affects your BONUS?"

What's wrong with parents? Its not as those I PURPOSELY choose to leave after getting the bonus. No wait, Its not EVEN as though I'd be getting one in the first place. Mind you, I have not performed well over the past 1 year. Things have been really stagnent. And if I don't deserve a bonus this year, I can SO UNDERSTAND why, and I blame no one! But if my company thinks I deserve some, there ought to be something I did right. RITE!? AND if they really decides to take it back just because they know I've been looking for jobs, HELL.. WHAT CAN I DO RITE? Ultimately, if thats really the case, then all I can say is they're so not professional - period - (which I hope is NOT the case, everything should be justifiable!)

But Noooo~~ parents insist I could've waited till May or June.. at least work for another few months AFTER the 'bonus' (the annoying-but-important B word again). Like yeahh.. by THAT time, I probably would drag my feet to work everyday! Wo-wee~ sounds FUN! (MY ASS). And as though that few months are gonna make much difference? So should I choose to leave now, I AM considered burning the bridge? and should I choose to leave 4-5 months from now, I leave with a good impression? NOT LIKE I CAN'T SEE WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM (of course, they have a point there *somewhere* , I have to agree) .. BUT, KA-CHINGS$$$ shouldn't be the MAIN concern here.. ultimately it all boils down to my career path - that's whats important! - obviously, the old folks don't understand a thing about my job. All they know is :

Son is working. Working != Career. Working = $$

SIGH!!.. I need a shoulder to cry on. Come .. lend me yours.

Watabe Atsuro (渡部篤郎)
Images sourced from atsuro.jp


Watched Last Love, First Love, again :D I still think its a good movie! The song by Kazumasa Oda, ... Lovely! Anyway, you go watch it.. this post is not about the movie.. its about the lead actor, the talented Watabe Atsuro-san.

He may not be most good-looking Japanese actor around.. (though, I think he is one).. He may not be an ikemen either.. But he sure is gorgeously charming! Cool in his own way - the mannerism, the charisma.... the pics explain everything. He can act, he knew it, he acknowledged it as his career, he brought it forward to the next level, he made it. Now that's a real man! :)

Atsuro speaks english (proper english! not the stereo-typical katakana-based english and I kid you not, he has such a sexy voice!! XD), he learnt mandarin (in the movie) and French (in France, for a play). Now, is he talented or what? *melts* - I have a thing for intellectual guy *melts*

UPSR Result - 1C, 1D and 5Es... !

My f*cking gawd!! What is wrong with kids these days? I always thought having an 'E' is bad enough. FIVE(5) Es in a row is utterly ridiculous! Its not funny! I can relate to it, if the student skipped the exam thus getting an E for being absent. But having sat through the examinations and ended up with 5Es is just .. (paused)... sad :( What have they been doing in school? Anything else but learning?! Not that I want to be mean, but any sane principal would know better than to accept students with such poor academic results into their school. Its only logical!

What exactly happened :

Remember my aunt who got into hospital recently? The last I heard, she's having a hard time registering her grand-daughter into a nearer secondary school, (in case you're wondering, the father of the child (divorced) is too busy earning day-to-day income and have no time for this) - apparently, there was some issue with the MoE and some paperwork needs to be settled blah blah blah, and MCA got involved in the end (I have no idea what's the actual story here, but yeah.. that sorta sums it all up).

Anyway, me, mom and bro decided to pay them a visit. After some chit-chatting session with my aunt (she's fine, by the way... just upset), we asked the grand-daughter for the 'transfer letter' to see how we could help (to fill it in/send it out/anything possible that we can help) and to my OH-naMo-amiddabHa GuanseYin-puSa!!, I couldn't believe my eyes!.. SIGH...

1C, 1D and 5Es on the UPSR result column!

First thought that came to my mind: what KIND of result is this? wtF!? So this is the award my aunt (SO NOT) deserves for raising those pathetic grandchilds over the past >10 years?!

The grand-daughter is 12 years old now, fu*king hell!! There's already heaps of problems in the household and she's taking her education for granted. As though there's not enough issues to be worried about already. FUCK! .. Don't tell me she's still young! That's a stupid excuse. I don't recall me being THAT irresponsible at 12.

The second immediate thought that came across my mind: I'm seriously not surprised if she does not get accepted to the secondary school of her choice. UrGhh..!! I felt like yelling, shouting and scolding her that very moment but I did not. DOUBLE UrGhh..!!

Sigh.. but having said all that, I still hope she gets into a school somewhere (near). Just get it done and over with ASAP. It aches to see my aunt getting overly upset and worried over such measly problem when she could've lived a peaceful, free and easy life at her age. I felt for her. I really do.. And I hope she'll be doing fine :)

朋友說﹐ " 是你的就是你的﹔不是你的﹐就別去強求些什麼。。
懂吧? "。

" 嗯。。"﹐我簡單的回應了一下。

其實說真的﹐強求。。也強不出些什麼來吧。。

" 既然已是定局﹐就不該想那麼多。。。 "

" 對吧? "。







我想了一下﹐終於有個結論。。


屁啦﹗﹗

說得可真~ ~ ~容易呀﹐拜託﹗﹗。。。
也不想想﹐人嘛~﹐本來就是好勝的熱血動物嘛~
若失去了重要的東西﹐當然會覺得不服氣﹐不甘心﹐不開心啊﹗﹗
說什麼 " 不該想那麼多 "。。 天啊﹐那是對心靈上如此殘忍。。如此狠心。。如此冷血的一番勸告呀~ ~ ~

難道就沒有好一點的建議嗎?
比如說 " 保持愉快心情是力量的泉源 ﹗ 要記得保持正面樂觀的態度哦 "

See? 那不是好很多了嗎? (即踏實又健康 - 還可教你做人得坦然的去面對事情呢! :p)

有時候呀。。動動腦筋還真是件好事

您說是吧?

I MADE IT!!
I'm still ALIVE!! I'm still ALIVE!!
I'm with the others!! Haha =D
For the very 1st time, I was glad to be stucked in a jam.
At least no cars are moving...
At least things are getting much more visible..
I can finally stop worrying!
(is there a car in front? is it safe to cut to the next lane? should I brake?!)

The heavy thunderstorm scares the hell outta me! I couldn't see anything while driving home! The wipers were not fast enough. Driving at less than 60km/h and still worrying if its too fast, is not a good sign at all... BaHs~ket!

Got home 45 minutes later. Quite an achievement I reckon'..
Heavy downpour, got home safely, no scratches, no dents.. excellent!

I just finished a big bowl of apple crumble for dinner... (srenae made it. it WAS good :p). Don't ask. No one's at home. No food. Wanted to ask someone out for dinner, mana tau he went offline ALL OF A SUDDEN! Grrrr~!! Took me awhile later to realize, I could've CALLED instead... (yeah, I forgot I've got your no. Mr-helpful-weatherman-for-a-reason - you know who you are)

Friday night and no where to go.. *YaWn*

My Lovely Desktop (^^) .... at work


Butterflies in the stomach...

Just received KC's call not too long ago. The meeting is set at 6.30pm tomorrow :) (Latest update: It has been postponed to next Tuesday!) One side of me is thrilled because I'm finally expecting something. Another side of me is nervous because it has been a while since I last do this. Moreover, I'm not prepared! *Damn it*

Then again, I'm never prepared... :p

The HOW questions
(the set of stupid mind-boggling questions to myself) :

I wonder how it's gonna turn out to be?
I wonder who I'll be seeing?
Should I JUST be myself ... or more?
How am I gonna impress him?

The WHY questions
(the set of questions that made me realize how stupid I am) :

I don't see why I should be worrying. I'm there to help
Why can't I take it like ... say, catching up with an old friend?
Why shouldn't I be myself? Why can't I?
Ultimately, that's who I am

Nothing to worry.. something to look forward to.
Nothing to be afraid.. something to anticipate.

I guess what is troubling me is the fact that I've been given tips and pointers to score in this meeting. And seriously, as much I'd like to thank YY for this, I don't really like it?? Yeah, of course I appreciate the tips and all, it helps, thanks.. but this ... is just not right. I don't know how to put this in words.. I just don't like it this way. Its not about people teaching or telling me what to do. Its more about I want to do this myself.

And if I get it right, its because I made the best effort.. not because I followed the advice. And if it turns out the other way round, I only have myself to blame.. and I don't want people to point at me and says, 'See? I told you, you should've...'

The next time I'm going to do this, I AM SO gonna keep my mouth shut, especially if its gotta do with my relatives. Nuff' said. Wish me luck~

I LOVE MY DESKTOP! :)
