O.T.

I did my first overtime tonight. Just now. Reached the office at 8.55am this morning, and went back at 9.45pm. It's been more than 12 hours in that office. Then, i had to fetch Ms. Goh, my colluege, back first as she is carless-for-the-day because her mom is using her car.

Nobody told the both of us that we're going to have to stay for an overtime. Nobody. Not even my boss. Not even Goh. And at the speak of that devil, lazy Goh ducked out at 6.30pm~!!! And leaving only 3 girls to do everything! Luckily, Ms. Ng came over to help us out.
Thank you, Ms. Ng. You're da bezz!!!

Good news is, the both of us get to get back at 9.45pm, compared to Julie & Ms. Ng, who went back at 11.30pm. Goh is going to kena teruk.
Bad news, I WAS NOT & WILL NOT BE PAID FOR MY OVERTIME!!!
(Temporary workers are not paid for doing overtime.)
Frankly, i AM the one who should went back early, NOT Goh~!!!!!

Very tired... and sleepy... and more to tired than sleepy... miss you, world. G'nitezzz...

Papercut

I had papercuts on my fingers.
I had papercuts on my bare palm.
*pouting lips*

I was making an origami airplane and tried to fly it accross the office, but my boss caught me and sent me to detention. But i managed it snuck out of the room and escape. I decided to take the lift as it was less tiring.

*ok, it was a lie, but at least u guys did rolled your eyes on it*

I was really folding an origamied invitation letter pretty quick and maybe that's when the paper cut my palm. I didn't care, I went on folding. And then, i got my fingers cut. *eyes wide out in horror* As in papercut. *relieved?*

Since Goh made me do his work last Friday, it's a good time for revenge. Ngek ngek ngek... *cackles evilly like a witch* The way i pulled him into the room is exactly like pulling a stubborn bull into the workload that it doesn't like; the only difference was, i pulled him using words. How creative i was. *eyes rolled*again* Imagine, you've managed to pull a stubborn bull, full of expection, and yet, what it gives you is only half a grain of rice, per day. Put Goh in the bull's shoes. He only helps me to stick the stamps on the envelopes. Well, at least it's better than nothing. I mean, it's only 347 envelopes that he has to finish from 3.15pm till 5.00pm, excluding the foldings, the stamping, and the paging-ins' invitation letters into the envelope given. He was too slow, so, i ended up finishing his part when I was done for myself.

That's how i've got papercuts on my palm & fingers. Mild papercuts.

Another wrap-ups

Brought my sisters to Kay-Elle last Monday. Does it look abit upstandard-ish? I mean, the word 'Kay-Elle' instead of 2 plain old boring alphabets of 'K' & 'L'. 'Kay' sounds more street-casual; whereas 'Elle' sounds like, well, 'elle' (as in the brand 'Elle'. Sporty Elle). And when you combine it both, then, it sounds more... more... Gosh, i'm crapping. And it's the usual useless craps.
A-nih-way, my sisters will be studying in TARCKL, taking e-commerce. End of story. End of my craps. Except that, that was a statement, not crap. Only the first and last line is a statement. All are craps. This is not the last line i meant. I mean the previous. Ah-hem. Jeezs, when will i ever learn? Came back from the 'trip' on Tuesday.

Wednesday was boring. So is Friday. Especially on Friday. Because on Friday, I have to finish Goh's unfinished pile of work & he even dare to go on leave. Darn. I'm gonna get him back next Monday. Oh yeah, he's gonna get it for sure.

Thurday's, on the other hand, nice. Very nice. How would you describe your day, if your bigger boss suddenly treat you and all your collueges in a nice fancy vegetarian restaurant? I'm not complaining on the food nor the environment. It was air-conditioned. Very comfortable. That is why, Thursday is nice. On top of that, Mr. Ng is nice. Because he is the one who treated us. Muahahahaha..... Free lunch again~! =D I think I should call him Mr. Nice-Ng.
Remindation: Mr. Sunny Ho, my biggest boss, still haven't treated me lunch yet. Such a stingy fella for being the biggest boss. I'm gonna sulk whenever he's around. Just that, I can't really do it, because he's seldom in the BM office. Sigh....

Saturday was ..... I'll leave it to your own opinion(s). Ah Sing, my coursemate from MMU, came down all the way from Seremban. Because he's a guy, I couldn't take him shopping. And because he's a guy, AhKor suggested to go to Bukit Genting. Because his housemate's a guy, they still couldn't get theirselves geographied with the roads(shameful.) Because he's a guy, he's staying in his housemate's house in Sungai Petani, Kedah. And because he's a guy, he still have to go back early. Because they're guys, i still don't like guys being too ego about how the roads should go, especially when i've been in that area alot more times than they have. In short, I don't like guys who thought they know-it-all when they actually DON'T-know-it-all. I don't blame it on AhSing, cuz he's not the one who's driving.

Sunday was SUPERB~! KimFei, also from MMU, came down from Alor Setar, Kedah, to look at her future workplace. She'll be having her training for her FYP here in BM. Took her around Bandar Perda to look for her going-to-be office. Bandar Perda was a big new township in BM which they're separated into Utara (North), Selatan (South), Timur (East), and Barat (West). Luckily it was an easy find since it was situated in Lorong Bandar Perda Selatan Satu. I'm more familiar with the southern part of Bandar Perda. Next, we went over to Prangin Mall. I was only thinking of window shopping, but in the end, i bought a pair of sunnies & 2 pairs of earrings. Why do i always do that?! My hand itches whenever i see earrings on display. OMG! I'm completely an earring-freako~!!! I already have a jewellery box full of earrings! You really should have see it. It is already full! KimFei & my housemates have seen it. They've even tried to get me away from any earrings on display. But this time, i really couldn't help myself. The earrings was too pretty & cute & unique. I was tempted. The earrings got me! I couldn't pull myself away! And not much of a guess, I've bought it. By the way, guess what? The earrings are made of feathers. Yes, feathers~! Not the feathers plucked from your feather-duster, kay... I'm not that cheapo. The colours were very unique. I'll take a pixie of it when i'm free.
On the same venue, I've met Aline, AhXia, (both Penangites) and AhJoe (came down from Sg Petani), all M'cca MMU-ian.
I repeat, SUPERB SUNDAY~!!!

2 Birthdays in 1 Weekend

I've been invited to two 21st Birthday parties the last weekend. The first belongs to Sherbeth, and latter belongs to SweeIm. Both of them are my CBM secondary schoolmates.

I was late for Sherbeth's party (Saturday), as in very very late. By the time i was there, it was already about 9.15 pm. I got stucked in a hair saloon from 2.30pm until 8.45pm where i was getting my hair done. My butt were numb from the sitting. Had a haircut. Changed my hairstyle. You won't notice the changes unless u look at the back of my head carefully. I have to highlight it to make the upper parting to be obvious. but i dun think i'm gonna do that. Depends on my mood. Anyway, back to the point, SherBeth's party was like a gathering for CBM 2001/02 and F6 of HSBM 2002/03. On the CBM-ers list are AiLyn, SzuChyi, Viviene, YiLing, HooiSan, Shuping, HooiSing, JuSuan, Corina, and ChewHui. I'm not so sure about HSBM-ers. There might be more CBM-ers, but as far as i know, those who i've listed is those who i saw that night. Cheers to you guys, and keep in touch. CBM ROcKz~!!!
This time, to SweeIm's party (Sunday), i started my journey early, but still, i got stuck in the Wesak Day procession as i was like a teeny-weeny few fraction of seconds late to pass the traffic lights upon reaching SweeIm's house. As a result, i was stuck there for about 15 minutes long. I was so darn near to SweeIm's house that i can even reach her house less than 15 minute by foot. But then again, I couldn't just leave my car in the middle of the street, could I? I can get 'saman' for that. SweeIm's party, on the other hand, was a small gathering for us, the closer friends. Reached there and the first person i saw was Kennedy, a long lost HSBM senior-fren, then it was my secondary gang of friends, YitShee, Corina, CheaYing, WayNah, Yeap, Jonathan, SengWooi, and ChoonNai. Additionally, Keneddy brought 3 other friends of his, which he don't even bother to introduce to us. By the way, Keneddy still haven't change. He's still the funny chap who has all the attention when he speaks. And he has more attention when i shoot at him when his words contradicts mine. In the hokkien dialect, it is better known as 'zhat'. Muahahahaha....
Back to the main topic, these are the two happy friends of mine who have just reach adulthood legally
.
Dear SherBeth & SweeIm,
~*~Happy 21st BuRtday~*~
***enjoy life to the fullest; you won't know how it's like until you've tried it***
MUAX!
from your krazy IcyMint fren...

Wrap-Ups for the past 2 weeks

I met my company's solicitor, Ms. Ng, a very nice young lady. Why did i say nice? Cuz she treats me lunch on my second day. Muahahaha... I went show-house in a new housing scheme with her, Julie, & Goh in Tmn Perwira Indah, in Permatang Tinggi, developed by Aroma Developers. The house is quite nice. Spacious. 2 1/2 storey terrace. Large balcony. Good handwork. Tidy.

After 2 more days, I met my bigger boss, Mr. Ng (not related to Ms. Ng). He said he just wanted to drop by in the BM office just to check on the updates. Now, who believes? Anyway, he too, is nice. Because he treats me lunch. Muahahaha... Julie told him about the project by Aroma Developers and he took us to around that place again to have a look. 'A serious competitor' he says, 'we have to work fast'.

Finally, on my second week, i had someone to gossip to in the office. Hehehe... Had a new colluege coming in. Julie introduced her to me as Ms. Goh (not related to Goh, by any means), a fresh-grad from USM. She'll be one of our permanent staff for Belleview.

After a couple of days, Julie starts to tensed up. Then, she revealed that the big big BIG boss is coming over to over branch to check up on us. She wants us all in the office to clear up our workstations, wear full formal wear, and it's my first time to see her wearing pantyhose, lipstick & a lil' bit of makeup, which she seldom puts on. Some of my collueges, Ms. Cheng, Damien Leong, and even Mr. Ng from the Penang island branch had arrived earlier to make an early preparations as well as Ms. Ng too, just in case. Mr. Sunny Ho finally came over around lunchtime. And by that time, most of us were already very hungry but we must not go out for lunch yet. Goh said that we must wait until he's either (a) gone; or (b) opens up his mouth to give us permission for lunch. When it was 1.45pm, Julie finally came out of the meeting room to ask me & Ms. Goh to go out and have our lunch first. Their meeting is still on. By the time he left, I still haven't get a good look at him yet. And he didn't even treat me, his new staff, lunch. Damn.

P/S: Btw, treating me lunch will get good testimonial comments from me. So, you'll know what to do. *winkz* ;-)

First Day of My Official Temporary Work

Today is my first day at work.

Yes, I am working... well, only for this break, MMU's longest break ever.
I have worked before, if you consider working for my university as a kind of "job" you had in mind. What did i actually contribute (/do)? I was one of the orientation committee for the May '03/04 intake. We were paid only mere RM10/day which we worked for 9 days. A total of RM90 in my pocket. But that job is damn tiring. Not worth my Rm10 sweat everyday.
There are some hometown friends of mine who didn't believe that i'm working back here in BM, might be because I usually don't work during my uni break. That's when they used to find me, kaki window shopping kononnya aku nih. Sorry to dissappoint you dear SweeIm, Corina, AiLin, SherBeth, YitShee, and others too many of you to mention. This break, i can't accompany you guys for window shopping anymore. I gotta earn some bucks~

My boss, Julie, our branch manager, is a very helpful lady, and so is my colluege, Goh. Only the 3 of us are in the Sales & Marketing department in the BM branch; while AhKeat, another colluege, is the only 1 who's from the Project department here.Altogether, there's only 4 of us, despite the big bundle of work to be done. Sigh...

By the way, just to cheer things up, the nasi lemak sold downstairs near to my office gives me the pleasure of having teatime.

Me MOM's Bday

1st May = Labour Day = My Mom's Birthday.

My grandmother really laboured my mom 48 years ago. Hahaha...
*looks around* Ok, not very faarnee...

Dad took all of us over to Penang Island for a luncheon to treat my mom for her special day because he has to attend a meeting that evening. By the way, she did forgive him as we all know it's an important meeting. We wanted to go to Evergreen Laurel's at first, then Gurney Hotel, but both of them only serve dinner. So, instead of going to a hotel to have our lunch, we have to settle at a restaurant. Dad called up his friends for any recomendations and we ended up at a chinese restaurants called Lakeview or something... but I'm sure there's a 'view' word. Quite an enjoyable meal, except for the long wait for food. The restaurant was on full house as some families are celebrating a week earlier's Mother's Day.

Later at night, I brought back a tiramisu cake i ordered from Secret Recipe a few days earlier and called up my godmother and my godsisters and my godnieces-nephews to join us in the mini-ladies-only Bday party.

Ah Mi,
HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY & WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!

from your loving 3 daughters... and husband.
