I have resigned

Yep, after working about 15 months in this company...which shall remain unnamed, i have decided to resign on Tuesday...yep going to join a competitor.

I really, honestly loved working in this company, the people were great, but just that it's so difficult to get an internal transfer as what I was seeking for is a technical position. I wouldn't say that I'm a techie person, nor technologically inclined...in fact, my engineering fundamentals should be quite screwed up...hence I want to make it stronger, and then from there, correct the weaknesses and then only move on to marketing and sales positions where I know I can be really good...

I will be starting my new job this weekend, first flying to Abu Dhabi for a 1 week induction course, and then to be based in Labuan. I will be signing up as a Maintenance Engineer. :)

Let's see what it brings...with the hustle bustle of KL city life, I don't have much time left to reflect and do certain things...yes, I admit I was sort of a gym freak...at least yoga freak where I like to go to the gym after work...but I don't even work out THAT often! I happen to just be hanging out a lot at the office...I guess Facebook definitely consumed most of my time...

Writing blogs, keeping journals, keeping in touch with family and friends, study Italian, read more...definitely hope the new job allows me to do more of these...oh and save money of course!

But I would imagine that the new job would be so much more challenging... ;) Am so excited

Just to say hi

cos these few weeks quite busy at work...facebook still blocked at work...

updates:
1) the rumour/gossip with my colleague is gone (great!)
2) might possibly switch to a new position in the company (but nothing firm yet, the soonest will be August I believe)
3) need more money!

be back soon :) toodles.

did a little spring cleaning on my blog

checking up on my blogroll, apparently i'm not the only one who hasn't been blogging...so if your name is no longer on my blogroll, it means you have not updated for about a year!!! but if your name is still there, it means i have hopes that you would update :)

had a good weekend...managed to catch up with 3 lovely penang chicks - pao, ping, heng...we went to this nuffnang thing? however, i do realize that i am too old to be involved in these kinda activities nemore. :( screaming my lungs out seeing kennysia is just so not....me.

Friday i went for karaoke with 2 other colleagues cos we didn't have to work. whoa. RM5++ inclusive of salad buffet and screaming our lungs out? thats sweet...and sunday (i just discovered that my aunt has the best karaoke system at her house) i got to polish a little bit more of my singing (or the lack of it skills) :) :)

and finally managed to set up my hookah/nargila/shisha which i bought in Dubai (that's like 2 months ago). at a garden setting sumore. topped with an amazing yoga session the day before. i'd say that life is pretty good.

sometimes the simple things that comes easily in life is hard to beat.

am i being incoherent? :) *hardly. remember the previous post to which i mentioned a colleague getting a divorce? apparently now part of a rumor - that we have an affair...i'm like the manipulative mistress that is going after him for his money...and now that he's getting a divorce, i'm supposedly very happy about it...???? what the $@^#%&?

just because he speaks to me often (and yes, he does find me attractive but he finds about 100 others attractive too) and we've had several breakfasts together makes me a mistress. i wonder if i'm any good in bed. i must be, since i'm a mistress. you think it's easy to become a mat salleh's mistress ah? need to be super attractive too. i should feel flattered. i kinda found out the source of the gossip - so i'm not so agitated like i was last week. because initially i thought i was 'betrayed' by the colleagues i work closely with...but it turns out (probably) to be from another division which i dont know anyone...so its ok ... treat as free publicity loh...

Star-crossed being

JOPP!!!…before I continue do not think that I am any close to have any remote resemblance to star-crossed lovers’ story of Romeo and Juliet. Far far far from it. I’ve recently met a person with whom my star totally crosses his. A “wan san” (in Cantonese, as they call it).

My team leader (I can just hope that he never discovers this blog). We’ve been working together 4 months already. In the beginning I thought he was a really nice person, being so friendly, chatty, gave very good advice – okay, wait a minute, from the beginning he has only criticized that I do not have good fashion sense, punctuality, no sense of financial control and that I should be so and so yada yada yada. I took them as constructive criticisms. After all, he’s a 1st Class Graduate, a team leader at only 26 years old, a Toastmaster president of some branch and really articulate. He was like the golden boy –

Hah of late, there are few incidents happening that made me really really changed my mind. A few words to describe him – Arrogant, stingy, master of taichi (in the working culture sense). He could be nice at times (I mean, really I felt that I could chat with him but arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh at this time I am not feeling so generous with compliments – he totally kills my mood.

It would be too petty of me of me to describe each incident (which I still clearly remember) but… sooner or later the bubble will burst – Of late I’ve been showing signs of being really anti-him. I ignore him when he speaks, sarcastic, jelling-jeling him, he has to be ultra-dense not to have noticed.

And the worst thing is, both of us share the same birthdate!! (not year, but month and day)…it makes me really doubt horoscopes – the being a Virgo thing, characteristics etc. Boh! But someone did comment how much we are alike – but very friendly, open, very good socializing/communicating skills. That’s about it. I hope, if I were 100% like him, then I must really really be membencikan. No wonder I’ve been gaining enemies.

But I absolutely do not share his perfectionist and organized attitude. And God, I hope I am not so critical of one person as he is!!! (and no, I am not a clean person). Does that make me a worse person than him? Having all the bad characteristics and lacking the good ones? Wah lagi-lah teruks.

Neways I just needed to vent. But really really anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If one day if I ever write on this blog that I am in love with my team leader, someone tie me up and slap me awake. (oh by the way, we share the same surname too, Tan – how can a Tan be so hateful???? I thought we were nice ppl?????)

Unless me also that membencikan. Aihsssssssssssssssssssssssss. HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM HATEHIM

isn't my blog a bit dead?

is there something wrong with my Chatbox? which I've just realized...hehehe

-Guztyne got married (one of my close friends/ex-colleague/we both got cheated over same thing once)
-i attended and exhibition for the Week of Italian language in the world... (i met a cute italian there!)
-i've been seriously skipping gym
-i am FAT (finally the reality so so so sank in...i tot i could get away taking pictures with "angles"...but when you are in bikini...there is nothing to hide...OMG i was hideous. haha)

yada yada yada... update soon. hehehe...

yes the blog is alive and kicking...let me...compose myself...too much alcohol abuse (by that i mean just a few shots of liquor lol)...too much work...too much food...too much everything...only too little exercise...

muax muax...

talak tau loh

gua talak tau, pasai apa makin kija itu kija makin bosan.
entah terlampau manyak pekija atau terlampau sikit kija.
tapi yang pastinya semua olang pun nampak manyak sibuk loh
tak tau sama ada gua seolang sajia yang belum grasp the art of "acting busy"
gua tiap-tiap hali email sama itu HP Heng, HP Lin, HP Loke dan Janice loh
meleka maciam manyak busy wor
hailan loh

gua punya team leader pun pandai menyolok
asyik hilang entah ke mana
tapi dia itu team leader ma
gua cuma itu kacang tanah kecik-kecik punya
ataupun itu cacing tanah
ehhh bukan...ikan bilis

aiyah cincai lah
pun dah 3.30pm...tinggal 1.5jam sajia
pun talak tau mau tukar kijia tak sebab sinang sangat
tapi yang pasti gua punya buntut punya lilitan sudah bertambah besaq lo
entah ada kina-mengina dengan itu donat dan kek-kek percuma kat ofis tak
ataupun yoga itu menggemukkan?

sekian. salam dan selamat bekija.
(FYI: ini bahasa malaysia generasi gua punya datuk, penang style. tak tau lu faham tak)
etimologi: gua, lu, bikin, sajia (sahaja), kija (kerja), sinang (senang), bini, kina (kena), menyolok (menyorok), hailan (hairan)

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

...Maaf zahir batin ar!

to all the Muslim readers...and non-Muslim ones...

Other than the holidays, the best thing is the fact that there are barely any cars on the roads today! yesssssss!!! took me 15 mins to reach workplace instead of the usual 45 minutes, i mean if I bertolak from home at 7.30am lah. yay yay...yay yay... (*pumps hand in the air)...hence the good mood today...

Too bad I have to work this Friday lah (cos no leave mah..sigh sigh...) but as long as don't have to be stuck in the jam can adi...

Friday, September 26, 2008

thank god it's friday

time just flies...!!! dengan tak disangka i've worked here 1.5 months. also earned sorta gaji buta till now. well, occasionally i do have things to do as per my job description, but rarely...rarely... yesterday kena sound from the evil Team Leader also. but that's my fault lah for not doing what I was told to. blah blah. but i insaf adi, i'm the "once bitten twice shy" kinda person. so now must remember what i've been told to do...

not much progress about the part-time for the italian guy i mentioned, guess he's really tied up with his stuffs as well. but slowly lah, me also tied up doing nothing...

just wanna share this pic, taken during my bd 2-3 weeks ago...actually got a bunch of pics (with Heng, Lin and their respective abangs) but they're in my laptop...this one coz Lin's abang took one, so emailed me loh.


Thank you darlings! (oh arent those 2 big candles and 1 small one? hehehe)

now i'm going to fill up my weekend meaningfully...am going to start tutoring my cousin chiayee (who's in Form 2)...hopefully i dont embarass myself by not recalling to solve even simple math!!! (it's true, the older u get, the more you learn, the more you forget), and in between helping at my aunt's restaurant...and meeting up with friends occasionally. how i wish i had dates instead of meeting up with old friends instead. hahaha (joking k, later kena boycott from my friends here)

at the moment, am still sorting out my long term goal/short term goal (with reference to my previous "how do you measure success" post)...still have not decided which one is for me...but i really need to decide...i dont understand why i am so free but yet i procrastinate so much...oh well...we are allowed to dwell in our miseries once in a while (call it a..."down phase")

Happy weekend people...!!!

Suffering...

there are many times when we have to suffer in life, in different phases in life...

as a child, when sebat/hentam from parents for being naughty...
as a schoolgoing child, having to carry so many books to school etc..
as a uni student, having to study 4 exams/cram so much info into such a little brain/assignments

then of course, suffering from stress, too much workload yada yada. i graduated d, so no more studying/student life stress kan? am in the working phase stress now.

a few of us, at least among us who keep regular hours at work (9-6, 8-5 etc) email each other at work. Lin is suffering over her weekend duties, Heng is suffering over her super permintaan tinggi boss that gives her gunungs, Loke emailed to say that she is suffering because everytime near public holiday sure got issue one (work related of course). of course i kena "shoot" that I am the free-iest and work-less among all of us (at the moment)...

I was like, who say...I'm also suffering what...from boredom. and in the working world ladder, that's the highest stage of suffering, which is suffering out of boredom. hahaha. =P (i think in cantonese it's called "sai meng"/ menjemur nyawa??) lol lol. joking only lah...

P/s: but today i have another suffering also, which is suffering from pain due to my weekly Tuesday "Torture Day" for my Advanced Level Yoga Session where my teacher and her students engage in an hour of melipat-lipat their badans and god-knows-what-poses. Wahaha, I'm one step closer to being one of them adi. Ouchhh....

oklah, back to suffering guys...

p/s/s: oh and I did go to Velvet/Zouk last weekend after all. hehe. but really not my cup of tea already lah. my old age cannot handle it...i think i'll take up knitting or some stitchwork....

so how do you measure success?

I was talking to Charng (via email of course since she's in Sg - dengan bahagianya) and I was asking her how does a woman measure success?

1) to have a high-flying career (meeting clients, having a jet-setting friends, she knows everyone, everyone knows her) but coming home to an empty house every evening

or rather to have:

2) a normal job (maybe clerical job...or maybe my job as a quotations analyst hahaaha which keeps regular office hours) life very unhappening but going home to a loving husband and kids...

Maybe it's the monotonous lifestyle that I lead in KL...but i'm starting to think that option (2) is much more appealing. Hell, even Charng the superwoman thinks it. and us just being 24! But isn't it nice to go home, and the husband provides for you...and you finding yourself looking forward to going home everyday, to cook for your family (and them appreciating the food and its all happy and meriah)??

of course it's not so ideal as we think lah. its not like the husband is always so appreciative...and the kids will complain about the food, and you argue over financial matters...then there's the washing, ironing, helping children with homework (worse still, if still baby have to breastfeed, feed baby change diapers middle of the night) but still im sure there must be some kebahagiaan-ness in it right???? see...got some; like Ayah that speaks happily (sometimes a bit kecil hati-ly) of his kids, and Nyonya Penang who speaks of her 2 kids etc etc. Nice u know...

me...in my blog what do I talk of? lately of nothing lah. very routine. recently joined gym so can talk about how out of form i am, how the whole body hurts, how i am aging (macam all complaints ajer)...i wake up 6.40am-7am in the morning, take a bath, get stuck in the jam till Jalan Tun Razak, go work (or pretending to work), go lunch (walk out under scorching sun, sometimes meredah hujan), then continue pretending to work, then wait till 5pm...drive back sesak-sesak, then back home. lately got additional activity, so go gym awhile...then lately my HPC Monday dinner gang not free, so I don't meet them for dinner...then finally...about 8-9pm, i reach home...to an empty home (got my uncle's gf ar, but we don't talk much to each other)...I eat my dinner, take a bath, then i hid in my room, watch repeatedly my animes/italian movies (i bet a few more rounds and i can act out some scened in La Vità è Bella d) then go sleep...then next day the same...weekends lagi teruks although it's nice to see different people at my aunt's restaurant and to talk with my aunt, uncle and cousins, yet...something is missing. I don't know what. Sense of belonging, maybe? They could make do with or without me, so it doesn't matter if I appear or not...gym...I could talk to people but communication barrier I don't like to attempt to speak in my broken Cantonese.

yes lah it's the time of the month where you feel all down and depressed loh. I miss Penang. And I've just started working for 1 month + 1 week... I need some goal and motivation lei...Maybe I should re-enter the world of clubbing again...but not safe to go home after clubbing lah. sigh. what do i need what do i need...

ok i think my boss detected me blogging

to be continued... (happy weekend guys!!!!!)

p/s: I'm sure things will get better soon...

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

so so mouliu

...until that I Google myself. hehe. found several entries. to this blog...to my Facebook...lol. cos now boss is back ar...even worse, have to pretend to look bz. but in actual fact really nth to do mar.

i went for the Power Yoga session again. naturally my body hurting like crazy again...

aihs...

this blog very dull hor...

oh, recently i got in touch with an italian guy, so i might working part-time for him (decent job ok!) so can polish up my long-forgotten italian lah!

ok...back to pretending to work...everyone have a great day ahead!!!

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

whole body is hurting...

not that I did anything interesting or what lah, that's why didn't update my blog... I want to post about past travels, but resizing images at work would be wrong...lol...and too obvious!!!

but I was reading thru some blogs of friends, some who are traveling at the moment, it's really nice to read about their escapades or their adventures, without a care in the world (of course, there are some who travel within budget, like me!)...so i'm still adamant to post one of these days about Sicilia (chapter 3 lol) and the rest of Italy and the other countries that I've been to. if not a bit wasted to keep some really nice pics to myself right????

...now that I am actually working I feel so bored, but when I was in Italy I felt useless. I don't know which is worse. lol...

I'm thinking of volunteering somewhere, but in a way I feel like I don't have much time to myself to do things that I personally like...weekends I meet up with friends...sometimes during weekdays as well lah...then if not I go to aunt's restaurant to help out...otherwise it's not like I have loads of free time or what also...

hmm...hence...the only times that I actually have time is from 6pm-11pm (approx. 5 hours) to do what I want. it's not much, but it's a good 25 hours (5 x 5 days)... so...I've decided to join a gym!!! yes lah, to get back to my infamous ZAMAN KEGEMILANGAN...where everything that was supposed to be small, is small...what is supposed to be rounded and perky is rounded and perky. lol. now sure lah, all out of shape...but as I always said, Round IS a shape...

I just started 2 days ago. 1st day i just jalan 1 hour only...ytd did Pilates and Yoga...today badan very sakit so going to let it recuperate a bit...cos too long didn't berexercise d, so need to get my body into the exercising mode...

but now the sakit kepala also come d...the 2 days that i went to the gym, the next mornings I had super cravings for nasi lemak..yeah had nasi lemak for breakfast yesterday and today...not exactly helping to reach my goal ah. lol.

ahhh so anyways its the yoga and pilates that's making my whole body ache all over lah. lol...

ok back to work...

Thursday, September 04, 2008

no need to worry d loh!

....cos Facebook is already blocked in my company. probably 99.9% of the ppl here spend their idle them on FB...

end of problem. problem solved.

now i don't have to think of the fact that I don't have the time to update my blog liao hahaha.

toodles~

Wednesday, September 03, 2008

phaiseh tak update blog

itu facebook punya pasal lah. akhirnya i dipressurekan to join facebook also cos it's the only way i could keep in touch with some ppl i met in italy...and of course most of the ppl are using facebook d...friendster is considered obsolete...

then i'm like so bored at work so im clicking Refresh every 5 minutes on my hotmail account and facebook. hahaha.

so cannot juggle two things at one time ar...i have not even uploaded the pics that i wanted to in facebook, just a few from my barcelona trip... and neither for my chapter 3 of Sicilia in my blog.

oh i was back in Penang during the merdeka weekend, but didn't have the time to meet up with anyone except family cos i reached like, Saturday night... spent 2 days with my cousin to shop for some working clothes ar (since i got my 1st paycheque d)...after much pain...i got a few items lo. the past 3 weeks i look absolutely chan at work. now still chan, but less chan d. hehehe. now my wallet very painful ar...

time flies lah. even though there isnt much to do at work...cant wait to actually be doing work...starting to feel very nonsensical d...

Friday, August 15, 2008

I have started working!!!

I was supposed to blog about my Sicilian chapter two since a few weeks ago right? I also can’t remember anymore. But anyways as my title indicates, I have started working 3 days ago. Today would be my 4th day here. Nice also ar. I am working at Jalan Tun Razak lah. (kenot disclose the company and exact location lah later will kena...u know lah they made me sign this confidentiality thingy) Also with my amazing fan base later kena stalk leh?? (who says got fan base, sigh my fanclub is on the verge of gulung tikar d)...But so far so good. 3 days straight I managed to reach on time, this is the thing that I worry about the most lah since the place that I am currently staying, Taman Connaught in Cheras is famous for its traffic jam...and I work from 8am-5pm. Good also lah the working hours, had it been from 9am-6pm sure jam giler kena teruk-teruk haha.

So far my boss i.e. the one who hired me is not around at the moment, in fact he will only come back to the office mid-Sept. Wahey!!! Means bahagia for almost 1 month without supervision...but got no tasks also will tension lah. Oh got my team leader take care of me. Nice guy, friendly, talks a lot, maybe talks too much also...I mean for a team leader lah. But then I probably talk more than him, at least the things he say kinda makes sense...got substance...better than me tin kosong wan haha.

The floor I work at consists of mostly expatriates cos it is a regional office. There is another office for Malaysia on another floor above mine, that one are all Malaysians lor. But anyway so far I haven’t spoken to any of the expats except for Hi-Bye. Even my boss also expat...my Team Leader is M’sian lah. My colleagues also are quite friendly lah. =) but don’t know I gave good or bad impression lah so far. I look so fat in my working clothes!! Mentensionkan! Sumore kena one huge zit on my forehead. Like, red and humongous type wan which can be noticed 1km away...since the very 1st day till now. Getting worse sumore. Haha. So much for my hope to look gorgeous on 1st day loh.

But I feel so exhausted lah everyday. It’s not like I am so productive at work also. Go in at 8am then wait for lunch d. And this job won’t require me to actually travel also. I mean, to meet clients etc. Basically I will only be liaising with internal customers. What to do lah, slow slow. Takkan from 1st day of work want to get high profile job d meh. Insya-Allah I target in 1 years’ time get good review, then see what kind of career advancement lo. Must work hard...cannot Facebook so much...I macam let my Team Lead see me FB also I don’t care...he see me play email email with company email and my hotmail also he don’t care...but sad thing is MSN is blocked in the company. Sigh. Can IM (instant messaging) with the rest of the company’s ppl worldwide only. Worst thing is I haven’t seen lengzais so far. Wait I get my 1st salary 1st then I will sign up with a gym to langsingkan my badan again lo.

Okla. Back to work (eh I wrote this from home ok, not I menyalahgunakan company property yahs)...happy weekend to all. My Chapter 2:Sicilia will come soon lah..so stay tuned...

P/s: Janice my office got 2 Venezuelans but I can’t remember my Spanish anymore so I didn’t even attempt to strike up a conversation with them hahaha phaiseh lah I have wasted our Francisco’s titik peluh to teach us Spanish. See got time then I will pick up again Spanish lah. The chances of me bumping into a Spanish speaking fella in my office is way higher than bumping into an Italian speaking punya. Hahahaha.

no more berkulat at home!

oklah since i kena shoot by my friends asking why I did not prepare for the interviews...i have good news...I've been offered a job! by the company of the 1st interview I went to..itu oil and gas punya.. i also shocked. but i also got pray larrrr...hoping that they really really really need ppl... or they didnt have much of a choice since not many applied for the position. hehe. and i got berbuat baik u know. the night before the interview, I at at Nando's and the cashier gave me an extra RM10 for the change. I sumore told the girl "Cik u gave me extra RM10 lah" ...so...buat baik dibalas baik... amitabha..

but the job will not be technical lor. Quotations analyst. I mean..the job required an engineering degree...but I dont think it will be very technical also. but good also la. if too technical also i will end up suffering...and the pay is not bad...more than I expected also. So I'm now just waiting for the offer letter...then review the benefits...the interviewer basically emailed me about the basic benefits d..so i think okay wor.

And since i came back from KL this monday...for the past 3 days I have been abused max. Exploited! My aunt who works at the coffee shop is sick, so I had to substitute her cos ...I don't really have a choice. My grandparents and mom and aunt asked me to..so must give face right...
I HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM 6.45am to 5pm...or 5.30pm...means 11 hours lidat
U know how much my ahkong gave me ar...just to entertain me...RM30...means tak sampai RM3/hour also. very the kolian lor. if not usually i help 12pm-2pm nia..but tmr also same case..have to wake up so early...haihs...but good also la. free workout. run sampai berpeluh-peluh. cos waiting for new maid to arrive ma. so meanwhile my fate is worse than even of an indon maid's...i very confident that i lost some weight d..no 2 kgs also 1 kg lo..kesian me.

hehe...sekian sahaja kali ini. so i am now blogging from my brother's hairdressing shop to prepare for my new job this 1st august. i think so la starting 1st august...but in the meantime..i must pamper myself at my bro's shop. i will curl my hair. hehe.

Happily waiting for my hair to be curled...

the kemouliuan being jobless

jobless for 3 weeks d. starting to feel pathetic. boo hoo hoo. guess what, last Friday I went for 2 interviews... not bad leh..so fast oredi attend 2 interviews in KL...but also i think mati dengan ugly-nya lah. tak tinggal mayat also. sedihhhhh...

well apparently i met some big shot guy during my flight back Dubai-KL who somehow hooked me up for an interview in a big oil and gas company...but i did not treasure the opportunity lah. ruined the interview completely. i went there to goreng goreng oni and chit chat with the guy who interviewed me. haha. he cringed when he heard my responses...although he appreciated my sense of humour...i dont think it will land me a job. hahaha. I give myself credit being able to handle the interviewers without being nervous though. hehe.

as for the 2nd interview..I emailed my resume in the morning and got a call immediately the same afternoon. I was like, no prob, I can attend the interview tomorrow...can wan...thinking of killing 2 birds with one stone. nampaknya there is this saying "If you don't prepare for an interview, you are done for. Don't think u can kelentong or goreng-goreng"

2nd interview lagi mampus. I was only briefed which company I will be vying a position for half an hour before the scheduled interview. Worse of all...tire company...worse of all...very technical wan...and the WORST part: "Ahhhh...later you will be tested some questions on mathematics and physics"

MATIMATI
MATI. hehe. I dengan glamornya filled in the blanks in the paper that i was given 4 questions which I texted my coursemate for the answers...with my description...probably the answers were wrong also. when the interviewer asked me why I answered the questions like this and like that..I was like...yeahhh I remember studying sumtin like that..based on instincts... hehe
DEAD lor...

but they looked entertained at least. all 4 of the interviewers in the 2nd company. dont know entertained ker of frustrated maximum. I would say the latter. hehe.

so sekian sahajalah of my kisah interview CHAPTER 1: DISASTER. back to penang d now...but all is not lost. at least I managed to meet up with Abang Buyong and Abang Ken and ex-colleagues and HP Heng and HP Lin...

berhutang keliling pinggang

This Monday, I went to KLCC Petronas Twin Towers to negotiate with HR to let me defer my reporting date to 10 months later..that is after I come back from Italy. After speaking to the HR Petronas Center, HR Petronas Carigali and Education Sponsorship Unit (ESU)...I ampu ampu ampu..still got a "NO!"

hohoho
you are now reading the blogpost of a girl who just landed in a nice big debt with Petronas. RM42.5k, for the 5 years that Petronas sponsored me.

Arrghhhhhh I also now very dilemma. This current boss is very disappointed that I am leaving...so I think my chances of returning to this company upon returning from Italy is negative. Since he was like ,"WHAT? Giving up such a good working opportunity to take Italian????" Cannot be accepted. After all, this company is designing first of its kind aircraft in this world, and me taking up a position as an aircraft design engineer here, and sumore its first female engineer sure very challenging right???

Also...the bonus that is impending is pretty damn tempting alright. The boss promises a big fat bonus for everyone when its first Proof of Concept aircraft flies. Supposedly end of this year. Gahh. I only been here, what, 4 months??? So calculate here and there, don't think my bonus is going to be THAT good~ now everyday I just do my work lo..and hope to leave the company with a good impression la. It is a worthy investment. Cos the boss is those type that very 'small gas' one..once you betray his trust, it's going to be hard to get back into his good books. by betraying his trust, I guess it means that I leave the company now when my CFD~Computational Fluid Dynamics knowledge is super needed. hahaha. as if la. I'm still a noob in this. Just that I'm the one that stupidly staying back late every night to work. In 2 months' time, I was going to get confirmed. RM3000 adi the salary. Once again, tempting. but..Naaaahhhh.

Italy or not? After the verbal confirmation from the lady in charge from L'Ambasciata di Italia since last week, I have not heard from her yet. Ketensionan. I mean, I really need to start buying all the stuffs already right? But if my pre-enrolment is not confirmed, anything may happen. I refuse to stock up on shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers and lots of canned food unless its definite. More over, thinking of buying a digital camera (although my bank is negative already as it is)...cos salary coming out next week..Tomorrow I can overdraft 1st..@ borrow from my colleague. hah.

Sighhhh..

Petronas or not??? So the HR Petronas Center is willing to give me another 2 weeks to consider if I want to join them or not, for sure they cant wait for me 9 months.. But my prospective employer, Joint Venture Division in Petronas Carigali is urgently waiting for the employees to report in so that they get started on their projects (or so the HR says)...I really really really wanted this job also..cos this position involves dealing with people (which I recently discovered I have no talent to deal with machines/computers) and liaise with those having business with Petronas i.e Shell, Talisman, ExxonMobil etc...can go offshore...can go travel...can do commissioning etc. Damn. and as all Petronas staffs tell me..working in Petronas really has its benefits..in the sense that the employee benefits and bonus is really lucrative.

But Italyyyyyyyyyyy. sigh...kesimpulannya no matter what decision I make, I will hutang keliling pinggang..if I go for Petronas, I wont have to return the 42.5k, but I will miss the chance of the Italian scholarship (worth about RM35k)..but at least I won't have to pay it back..but sure regret forever if I don't go.Should I let go of this opportunity to go Italy and just go Petronas and work????? work..what a depressing word.

so basically, its at this juncture, again its time to make a decision. -_-" hate it.

actually made my decision d. chose to go Italy. There is no right or wrong, nor it may not be the best decision either.

p/s: Zharif (my colleague) says he will miss me a lot when I leave. But till now he hasn't given me my birthday present (he made me mention him in my blog..so here it is) haha.

Surprised..and sweet!~ Really didn't expect it..but how also..a girl will always be a girl..somehow also will damn happy if get roses. haha although my fav flowers are orchids..but roses more romantic I guess..1 dozen is good..the more the better..the heavier the better..haha~ so D is in my good books again d..

type-type-type now I am PMS-ing also lazy type adi..better news to break

***********************************************************************************

Jeng jeng jeng...

some of you may already know it..but I just received the notification yesterday..(Thurs Sept 13th)..so I did excitedly sms, email and MSN some ..hehehe..

BUT I AM GOING ITALY!

yes yes yes! confirmed adi my scholarship...finally!

9months, Perugia. =) should be leaving in Oct..so it means less than a month away...

******************************************************************************

it means that I have to quit my current job. it was a hard decision and took a lot of consideration, but yes i am sooo quitting it. told my manager on wed, she was a bit reluctant to accept my resignation, but she gave me quite a good advice.

yep. that time wednesday the scholarship has not been confirmed yet, but that time too tension liao. kenot tahan..pekchek (due to PMS)..so i just *snapped* and told my manager that I want to quit.

risiko tinggi u know that time..could end up jobless, scholarshipless also. but that time PMS ghost possessed ma..sure won't think so much liao..

tendered my formal resignation letter yesterday. I am required to serve a month's notice, as my contract says. but aiya, now also ketensionan..cos the classes starts in beginning of October..but my letter on 12th Sept..technically gotta serve till 12th Oct..but after cajoling my manager, she says 3 weeks can lor, provided my task handover proceeds smoothly. my MD, the mat salleh is of course not happy..but he is not around now..but will have to face the music next week when he is here also. gahh~

**********************************************************************************
will definitely miss all my colleagues..a lot! maybe not the evil Dr.H..and not the MD Mr.M..

just worked 3 mths here but feel that the bond is quite strong. of course the cubicle next to me is my 5 yr coursemate super genius David, that will entertain my stupidest questions regarding to anything technical (lift, drag,point of gradient, partial differentiation, momentum loss, conservation of mass)..must thank him..he made my 3 months better..at least not so clueless..

haha don't want to describe so much abt my colleagues..rather, future ex-colleagues yet..talk abt it in other post..now must continue my kerja..

so much of work..so little time..

p/s: due to a certain misi I have been MSN-ing since Wed till today (Fri)..I think my mission failed. But still will continue pursuing it...

***********************************************************************************
I dreamt of CFD on onions this morning..freaky..define multiphase domains of an onion???? meshing??? ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
