I didn’t change it..
Filed Under me, life | 6 Comments
On my last day of work, my colleague took a picture of me sitting at my cubicle in the office. And my pc monitor was showing the screensaver and I realised I have it on for more than a year!!! I didn’t change my doggies screensaver for a long time!
I remembered when I was studying I like to change my wallpaper and screensaver. But I don’t know why I stop doing it; perhaps I didn’t have much time to browse for a nice one. There are many nice free screensavers available from the internet like the aquarium screensaver. (as aquarium is suppose to make you feel relax!) 
Anyway, I have returned the pc to the company and I think I’ll be getting laptop in my new job. I’ll take better care of it and put some real nice screensavers, like I used to do!

Good Bye..

I’ve been busy lately. There is just so many things to do. In my head, there are many stuffs that I want to blog about but the material just trapped in my head as there are higher priorities of stuffs to do. It is rather frustrating.
Now, I finally have time to sit down and write a little.
First, yeah, my previous post was about the application for United State’s Visa. I finally met up with my new colleagues (and they look quite nice) and 3 of us went to the embassy to apply for the visa. Both of them got on the first day and it was nerve-wrecking to be the one without it! 
The Indian officer was really horrible!
What a mean guy!
Why did he have to pick on me?!?
I went through another sleepless night and for the whole day; my head was filled with visa-anxiety, even when I was doing yoga! But hey, thank God I managed to pull through the next day!
Hooorrayyy!!! I GOT MY VISA!!! :D
But..
BUT..
Another things to worry now is getting the flight tickets as CG said it is running out. *sigh*
We don’t have much time actually as we wanna be back to Malaysia by Chinese New Year which is another 5 weeks!
Anyway, I actually wanna write about my last day in my current.. uhmm.. previous company. I woke up on Friday and I really wondered what got in my mind when I tendered my resignation letter to my manager! Till now, I didn’t have the urge to leave the company; in fact I really start to wonder if my decision has been a correct one and if I would regret at the end of the day.
Whenever my friend asked me why did I wanna leave my company, I felt like I am being defensive and giving reasons that sounds more like convincing myself than just answering them. Which leads me doubt my decision even more.
Anyway, on the last day at work, as my day was extensively brightened by the visa approval, I felt jovial throughout the day. I didn’t even feel like I was leaving the company! I thought I would reduce to tears but perhaps I didn’t feel it as I was going to farewell dinner with my best-friends-colleagues. The gloomy feeling I was expecting didn’t creep in.
Which feels even odd! I am supposed to feel sad as I hate to leave.
I need a closure.
I cannot imagine I won’t be going to the nice pantry and make my coffee every morning.
Saying good morning to the kakak (cleaner) who like to tease me.
Or seeing my whole lots of colleagues daily, looking forward to see some but cringing when I meet the others. Having whole lots of friends, like in school.
Or making the toilet trip with SS.
And missing my Belly Dancing and Yoga class.
And shopping during lunch and after work. Knowing that I can get anything at work.. even bank or post office.
And I shall miss them dearly.

My colleague, VP told me that CW does some free lance job by writing providing research help to undergraduates like those writing company. During my university times, we only get help from the seniors for the assignments and I never heard of paying to get help. Nowadays, you can even pay to write term paper and get them done overnight!
How easy and convenient it is to the student, no more staying up late to finish up the task!

Please Approve It!!!
Filed Under bad, me, life | 10 Comments
I am in furious mood this morning, until now. I woke up early, took the LRT and went to the place to do an application with 2 friends. It took around 3 hours for everything to be processed while we waited and waited and waited, boringly.
My friend got her application approved easily, without having to show any documents and her officer was really nice and friendly!!!
Meanwhile, I got the monster officer who had just rejected a guy application. I showed him all the documents I have but he wasn’t happy. He wanted to see more documents and commanded me to come back tomorrow. No negotiation. Darn!
It is so unfair! I wasted my precious hours, taking off from work, even though I have pile of works in the office and tomorrow would be my last day in this current company. I have to go again tomorrow morning and I am not sure how long will it be and NO GUARANTEE that my application would be approved.
I so desperately want it. Please, approve my application tomorrow. I cannot wait any longer. And I don’t want to be late for my last day tomorrow. *sigh*
And yeah, I hate him! The bugger face!

The Heartbreak Kid~
Filed Under movie | 5 Comments
I watched this movie as it is one of the few asterisk-movies in GSC, reason being I get to watch an asterisk-movie for free on my birthday month! I watched the preview before and it looked funny, real funny as Ben Stiller was in it!
But hey, again, perhaps my expectation was a little too high. It was a little draggy and the supposed-to-be-horrible-wife wasn’t that bad after all. Not as funny as I would have expected it to be but not too bad! And Ben Stiller himself wasn’t the real good guy and husband after all.
No suspense, no high point, just a little funny scenes here and there.
The preview was really overrating the movie!
Thank God it’s free movie!
Rate : 2.8 stars (couldn’t decide between a 2.5 or 3 stars)

Merry X-mas 2 U!!!
Filed Under holiday | 14 Comments
I like Christmas, always do! I feel it much more than Chinese New Year as there’s presents to buy, to anticipate and to receive.
It is a festival of joy, plenty of holidays. But it also means a quiet house as everyone is going back for the long holiday. I mean my housemates. Including me, for a couple of days!
Anyway, to those celebrating, wish you a Merry Christmas and the rest, happy holidays!

Level of service!
Filed Under bad | 9 Comments
My eyes have been very dry at work or whenever I face the pc for too long. I went to see the doctor to get some artificial tears on Monday. The first clinic that I went was very crowded so I was lazy to wait. So I moved on to another clinic nearby that I have never been before. It’s empty! So I gladly went in, registered and got to see the doctor soon!
It was an old Chinese doctor. I told him I have dry eyes and he wrote it on the report. Seeing that he wasn’t going to ask further I told him that I used ‘Eye Mo Moist’ but it is not working. He said it is useless and I should be using natural eye drop. And with that he showed no sign of checking my eyes or asking me the symptoms or anything at all!
I stepped out from his door within a minute and understood perfectly why his clinic was empty!!! I got a 15ml artificial eye drop which I was rather grateful for.
The charges? RM10 for 1-minute-2-questions-consultant-fee and RM20 for the 15ml-artificial-eye-drop. And I am glad for the ING employee card that I can use to pay it.

A Modern Baby Full Month Offering~
Filed Under funny, colleague | 12 Comments
My colleague just gave birth to a baby boy last couple of months. It is the very first baby in our department and we are rather excited! 
So, after 2 months of maternity leave, she is finally back to the office, much slimmer and looks radiance!
Well, as the Chinese traditional goes, when the baby is 1 month old (baby full month), the parents would give away hard-boiled-‘red eggs’ to family, relatives and friends. Sometimes they give cakes or various local kuih. It is to welcome the new bundle of joy and the eggs symbolize fertility. The red colour bring good luck to the child, as red is the auspicious color to the Chinese.
Since my colleague gave birth in Penang, she wasn’t here when the baby celebrates full month. Guess what she gave for us as the ‘red eggs’ offering when she is back to office?
Nope, it is NOT red egg, not kuih, not even Ayam Mas or fried noodles (as both Yit and Sean guessed).
Guess again?!?

It is a KFC Voucher for snack plate and a drink!!!
It is certainly something very special and new to me. Come to think of it, it makes sense as it is much more convenient, durable (can be keep till next year, unlike food which has to be consumed in a short period of time), easy to distribute and simple, not much hassle of preparation!

I did it~!
Filed Under dance, me | 13 Comments
Belly dancing performance is over. And I did quite okay, with some forgotten steps of course, but I think it’s not that obvious, with 8 people on the stage and I was right at the back. Some of them did mistakes too but well, it was alright overall.
I am just glad that I didn’t have to perform off-stage like my 9 colleagues. It was too dark down there with no spotlight on them! Only the light from the stage and from camera’s flash! I know some of them aren’t too happy as they felt that their effort wasn’t being really displayed. I would too if I am one of them.
I have many pictures and some videos too but the sizes are too big to upload, over 200MB for 2 minutes! I am feeling rather lazy to filter them at the moment. 
Perhaps over the weekend when I have more time to go through the pictures!
But I am happy that I did the performance though it meant that I missed too many good performances by others at the beginning and missed the good food and even time to socialize with my colleagues during the annual dinner! And thanks to all your supports!

Make a different today~

Charity is something that I haven’t been doing much all my life, except for the occasional small donations every now and then. Though sometimes I am deeply touched by someone’s grief, I felt that I couldn’t do much to help them with my limited income.
I would definitely want to do more if I can afford it better. Maybe make a little different to someone life would be good. I really am impressed by charity organisations that really reach out beyond their capacity to help those in needs. For example the Boat Angel charity organisation that has a very unique way of building their fund to help others.
They ask for the public kindness to donate a boat campaign, whether big or small to the organisation which will then be sold at eBay. With the money, they would then use it to produce childrens DVD to spread messages to the children and youngster about the dangerous use of drugs, Christian videos and others for our next generations.
With the donation, you could use it for tax exemption and contribute to the society. Well, it might not mean much to the person who does the charity but it could mean the world to the receiving end!
