SkyTrex at Bukit Cahaya.
Filed Under fun, colleague | 3 Comments
I decided to join my then-new-colleagues to the adventure of SkyTrex in Bukit Cahaya/Taman Pertanian (in Feb, another late post), when I barely joined the company for less than a month; remembering well the fun of team building in Allson Klana Resort, Port Dickson even though the Flying Fox scared the shit out of me.
Not to mention, it is a great way to know my new colleagues better. And also overcome my fear of flying fox. I wasn’t really scared of height, but just the speed of it.
SkyTrex is a jungle trekking from the height of 3 to 22 metres from the ground with different challenges on the ropes. With 23 thrilling challenges (some repeat paths), it could be quite tiring and yet fun.
And I am glad I joined it. A great way for those to overcome their height phobia and trying out something different.
The minimum height is 1.4 metres and takes about 1 to 2 hours or so to complete. Do visit their website for more information & better pictures.

Monday & Farewell~
Filed Under me, life, colleague | 13 Comments
I am back from 2 days of rest at my hometown. It has been good although on Saturday I had real bad flu and headache and slight fever.
But after drowning a Clarinase flu pill and a Panadol on Saturday night, I felt brand new on Sunday! Really, sometimes drug does works like magic. But the thing is to keep it low and take in once in a while for it to works, or so I felt. My nose was cleared and I could almost sing. ^.^
And today, my big boss will be here for a couple of days. I wondered if it is a coincidence with a colleague that is leaving on Tuesday. A farewell for him? I doubt so. Anyway we had a farewell lunchie for him at Kenny Rogers’ last Thursday among us.
It is the first person leaving after I joined this company for around 10 months. The same fella that went to US with me for training. Well, my farewell wishes for him is good luck in his new endeavour in a company with over 200 people in TPM (any company that you know of?)
Happy Monday, everyone! =)

Just What Are You Staring At?
Filed Under office, colleague | 20 Comments
Are you tempted to look into others pc/laptop monitor when you pass them by? I try not to look whenever I can as I know it is very annoying to have others keep peering into your monitor, trying to see what you are doing! (=.=)"
In the office, I was sitting in a cubicle with my laptop facing inside the cubicle. Theoretically, everyone that passes by behind me, can peer to my screen without me knowing. I am alright with it.
But as I was always plugged with pc headset and constantly jolted when my colleague suddenly appeared from my back to talk to me, I put a small mirror so I am aware of those "visitors".
And soon enough, I find a colleague who loves to stare peep into my monitor screen almost every time she passes by my cubicle! (=.=)"
I tried to tell myself that it’s okay as sometimes people are just curious now and then. Thus the peep show.
But her continual attitude really put me off. Just mind your own business, will you?!? I have never even had one glance at her monitor LCD all these while (not that I get to do so at the first place as she was sitting at a corner). But still.. 
But I also discover that another colleague of mine that have constant view of my laptop monitor screen from her cubicle rarely even glance at my way. Thanks for the privacy (even at work)!
So how do you deal to those uninvited-peepers at work?
P/S : Other than that, she’s an OK colleague.
P/S 2 : Matta Travel Fair is coming on this weekend on 5th – 7th Sept 2008 at PWTC ! Yay!!! Time to get good travel deal~ v(^.^)v

So Stress?
Filed Under life, colleague | 14 Comments
A little conversation between my colleague and me last Friday. Here it goes :
Colleague : I am so stressed! There is so much to do and to test!!! *sigh*
Me : Take it easy. Tomorrow is weekend already! Can rest for 2 days. Hooorayyy!!!
Colleague : But on Monday, we have to deal this again.
Me : Rest first and then continue to think about it on Monday.
Colleague : I will keep thinking about it over the weekend.
Me : You really do that? Why? Just forget about it! Put it down.
Colleague : I can't do that. You just worry about things one day at a time. You can just forget about it?
Me : Yes, indeed I can and I do that. In fact I even let it go after I knock off from work everyday. Or else you'll age fast with all the stress!
Colleague : Yes, no wonder I look older. Must learn to let go.. (=.=)"
Well, from the conversation with my colleague, initially I wondered if I wasn't as good an employee as she was. As she was truly worried about the same projects that we handled together up to the extend of worrying it during weekend and after work!
For me, I seldom think about works at home and I don't really get stressed up, unless during working hour. But I suppose we have to let go of it now and then or else it would be too heavy when we carry it for too long without resting.
So, now I think I am a smarter employee, not a less efficient and loyal one. =)
Do you worry about your work after working hours and over the weekend? Or you just pick up the work burden again when you step into the office every morning?
P/S : Happy Weekend! Put down the work baggage and enjoy your weekend!!!

Run & Hide!!!
Filed Under me, life, colleague | 5 Comments
The other day, I asked my ex-colleagues for lunch as my lunch-box-caterer decided not to send me my daily-mixed-rice as she said her man had gone out when she received my order via sms which was rather unlikely to me. Fine.
So at 1pm, I went down to meet up with my ex-colleague. AV called me and asked about my whereabouts.
"Gloria Jeans", I told her.
She was there as well and she told me that our ex-manager was there too! 
I quickly scanned around and instantly saw my 2-metre-tall-1-metre-wide-ex-manager (as they described him in the past) buying coffee, around 25 steps from where I was standing.
I quickly dodged before he could see me and found my ex-colleague hiding from him at the corner too. We both broke into laughter and hurried away before he could spot us.
How funny that we were still escaping from our ex-manager even though we are not under him anymore and he wasn't such a bad guy after all. Come to think of it, we didn't even have much communication or mistreated when we were under him; we were just mere wallpaper that wasn't of much importance to him, or so I felt.
We didn't have no nothing to be ashamed of or be afraid of. He even left the company before I did!!! But why was I running away? It was just instant reaction!
It reminded me of the younger time when I would quickly escape when seeing teachers at pasar malam (night market) or anywhere else. And I have same behavioural act after 10 years out of school.
Would I be the same 10 years later? Or would I just walk over and say Hi, how are you!?!

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!

Lunchmate..
Filed Under colleague | 16 Comments
YRLM : Do you want to go for lunch today?
You : Yes, sure.
YRLM : I already tabau (bought) my lunch, so I am not going to lunch with you.
You : … <speechless> …
I decoded it as : Yadda yadda yadda.. I already have my lunch so I am not going to lunch with you although you want to lunch with me~ *rolled eyes*
And it happened so frequently that I am feeling a little disgusted..

How Easy it is to Earn Woman’s Money~
Filed Under thing, happy, me, colleague | 16 Comments
My colleague and I were just in the mood of exploring cosmetic last week. Both of us hardly makeup to work or even to casual outing so we don’t have much ideas about makeup!
She wanted to find a nude color lipstick that makes her lip pale but it was tough to find one that really gave that natural nude shade after applying as her natural lip color was rather pinkish.
We headed off to Estee Lauder in Isetan during lunch time after a quick lunch at the food court. The promoter put on the lipstick for her with gloss and she even tried the black eye shadow for smoky eyes effect. Finally she chose a piece of nude lipstick and I was happy for her.
We thought that’s all she was getting and before we knew it, it was more than an hour after lunch time and we purchased more items that we were seeking for!
Both of us purchased the makeup set of “Good As Gold” that consists of a palette of eye shadows, lipstick, duo blusher, eyeliner, lipliner and a dinner bag (that worth RM460 but only at RM148 if we purchased above RM150, which of course we did!).
On top of that I also bought a Brush-on Illuminator that cost RM100, which suppose to cover my dark circles but somehow I felt that my Maybelline liquid foundation does a better job! >_<
Anyway, splurging really does make me happy, just at a higher cost. Though, I still think it is rather a worthy set and if the illuminator is really effective, then it should worth it as well.
And I have a long way to learn the art of makeup to make myself prettier~ ^.^
