Recently, my boss sent the team an invitation asking us to go to globalsmart and do a personality test. According to her , this is to foster better working env. Anyways, only 2 ppl did , myself and another girl and of course my boss.
At the end of the questionaire you're suppose to select to compare with the team mates.
HOlly Smolly, I am the totally opposite of my boss. I am direct while she is not (cunning fella), I don't care about class or status, while she does... eeeeeeee and there are other comparison.
So will this personality revelation cost me the chance to climb up in this CO? Perhaps...

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson.
This was the second book I was talking about but maybe this was his first romance novels.
The story? Its quite good but its written in a total different way, like how one would write a diary for future keeps. Its really touching. But in the beginning of the novel, suzanne said this .... its very meaningful and I would like to share with you........
A friend once told Suzanne a story and it goes like this
" Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day, you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends, integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truely understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life......."
TRUE?
i believe so.. if only everyone can find courage to know it and do something about it.
The routine of life will kill you.... and before you realized you're a feeble old woman or man.

Where Have They All Gone?
One thing I like to do is - naturalistic obversation. I dont' feel weird dining alone or walking alone. Hey what the hey, I even watched movie alone before.
When I am waiting for people or when I am seating alone eating or in the LRT or monorail I like to obverse things.
Yesterday, I was out riding the public transportation. Drove, parked somewhere, took the LRT and then walked some and then boarded the monorail. Throughout my journey i was observing my surroundings.
One thing that kept poping into my mind is - Where has all the good looking people gone? I mean.... all the ones I saw i would definitely consider below avg lah... Seriously. I mean I am not saying I am looker or anything but you know like any one else you want to see something soothing to the eyes. When I was in the US, they were everywhere... Cute guys at every corner , every nook. What happened to the asian men??? that bad gah?
Anyways, since there was nothing to cuci mata with, I found something else. You know, the smell of damp clothes or those that never go the sunshine much? That pungent smell..
It kills me when the LRT or monorail is so packed and it reeks of that smell. Gosh makes me wonder if these ppl know they stink. if they realized it, why did they still wear those clothes.
How many of you have taken the public transportation lately? Have you seen any good looking people around town.... ?

TM : Dirimu bukan sekadar nombor
Ye KE?!?!?!? Semuanya cuma kata-kata kosong.
Bila anda memandu di jalanraya, papan iklan ini kelihatan di mana-mana. Sungguh menyakitkan mata. Bagi saya, bukan saja, ia menyakitkan mati tetapi menyakitkan hati....
Diriku memang sekadar nombor bagi TM. Sejak saya, menjejak kaki di kedai TM pada bulan februari, rasa kecewa saya adalah tidak terhingga. Kenapa dikatakn begitu, itukan yang anda sedang fikir?
Ceritanya panjang. Tapi pendek kata, kalau nak lafaskan slogan begitu, TM mesti ada "action" yang boleh menyakinkan rakyat malaysia yang mereka adalah sungguh dgn slogan mereka.
Sejak feb sehingga kini, talian telepone masih tak ada. Sedih................
Pendek kata.... Sehingga hari ini, diriku cuma sekadar nombor rujukan.... and kawasan tinggal saya cuma sebahagian daripada kaji siasatan mereka... and pelanggan yang mungkin boleh jadi sebahagian daripada pendapatan mereka, sedang mencari jalan lain untuk mendapatkan talian telepone, kalau boleh tidak dgn TM. Tapi, kebanyakan kawasan adalah kepunyaan TM.
So TM!!!! BUCK UP......

Weekend is almost over
Remember my previous post where I said that I will snooze my brains out? ehehe Well I kinda did....
u
But even with that i managed to finish a book I just borrowed last week and completed the whole book yesterday and what more a book I just started reading yesterday. Yes, I have to admit I do read books prett fast. Therefore, these days, I try to borrow books more than I buy. Coz at the end of the day, i dont' want to be collecting more books when I don't have any place to keep em.
The book I just read is called Sam's Letter to Jennifer. Uh huh, you got that right, its a love story but the ironic thing is, its written by a man : James Patterson. this is the very ever first book in terms of love story that I have read which was written by a MAN. Its interesting that when you read the book, it kinda doesn't stick to your mind that the writer is a man. But truely its a book worth readin... for male or females. Its poignant and talks about love and life. So many beautiful quotes in there. I am gonna borrow one of his other books... another love story. But he is actually not a romance writer , he wrote books like The 4th of July and many more those category books. But the two i just mentioned were his only 2 romance books.
On sat morning, before I went for my facial, I was watcing channel 17 ( my fav channel - when it has nice things on) and there were showng the great outdoor adventure. Its how this couple of guys tried to conquer mount cotopaxi in Peru i think. How the stuff one guy said in there was so meaning. How cotopaxi is not for conquering. They can only reach the peak if cotopaxi allows it. They almost didn't make it 2 times and had to fall back. It made them realized that they didn't respect it enough. It was totally awesome how it was said. Anything on mother earth you can only experience if the big power allows you to................... Cool huh.
I love hearing quotes like that or statments like that. I started couple of years ago , where i kept this notebook and i wrote down all the quotes that touched me. Well after I left my pervious company, i sorta misplaced the book. Yeah I kinda misplaced alot of things in my life too... SIGH.
This is part of me that you shall learn more... as you get to learn more about me. I am a sentimental person... in alot of ways.... but by me talking about this doesn't really count. I would like you to know me when you read my blog. Of course I have to be honest to say that I would not in anyway, make myself read like an open book. Its not my style....
Also, lately, I have been having thoughts about moving to Italy.Why? Dunno ,maybe the idea of having the chance to live near a monastery and find solace is very enticing at the moment. Maybe it things permit, study philosphopy as its a subject matter that interest me as much as psychology does. :) I do not have any idea how my life would proceed after this or where things will lead me. But I do know I am tired of fighting. My fighting spirit is going down hill and I am resigned to let fate take me where faith wants to lead me.

The overrated........
Watched Mr & Mrs Smith yesterday.......... Its WAY OVERRATED!!!!!!
My friends and I thought this would be good movie. we usually wait till the show shows at our cheap cinema which charges RM5 after the movie has shown for awhile. But my friend who kept telling us that she wanted to watch in a confortable cinema and was willing to pay RM11 for it. HAHAH OH BOY! was she disappointed.
Granted that Brad Pitt is ahunk and all.. but the bottom line is the movie is not as great as advertised. Kinda like the advertisement for KFC OR FILLET BURGER.... It false advertising that one if you ask me... the burger is way smaller than its shown. I MEAN WAY WAY WAY Smaller....
I did finally watch Star Wars EP III. Was good I have to admit. Went to berjaya timesquare to watch it. Weird thing is its at GSC also but it only cost RM8 before 6pm shows and weekends and after 6pm shows only cost RM9. Mid valley is cost much more... wonder why...........
Just waiting to watch ... NARNIA.................. hoooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooo
and also the Interpreter...................

Its about this time one year ago, I got my first offer to leave big O after being 6.5 years there. Its almost a year now... can you believe it?
Time sure flies. brings back memories about the emotional turmoil I went thru during that period of time and how the world just went down hill and never stopped.
How am I faring now as its been a year now? I would say, that window of opportunity gave me the courage to leave the place which had lost its luster to me but yet I hung on just becoz I was too afraid of the unknown. I wouldn't say that I am totally happy everyday of my life since I left.
I miss my old friends.. I miss the familiarity ... Unfortunately, nothing last forever.
Just couple of days ago, I got both sms-es and emails telling me that 2 of the people whom I would say quite close to me in my previous company has tendered and left the company. Funnily when I called one of them, she told I am the first to congratulate her while others kept telling her that she made a mistake. She told me that she is afraid. I told her, I felt the same way when I left. Filled with fear and anxiety. Consoling her was like just me consoling myself. I told her that it will eventually get better...
But did it get better for me? I am still having sleepless nites. Esp this week, I can't sleep, I can barely eat. I had 2 escalation this week while the bloodee indian bonnie just sat on his big fat arse and did nothing except a 85 format proof reading document. The work load is definitely not equally distributed
And to add on to the problem, this lab admin who is also my team mate doing the same work but with additional role as lab admin has threaten me. See, he is very very extremely unhappy with bonnie. But he is chicken shit.. he doesn't want to complain but instead asking the rest of us to complain then he will complain. He gave me an ultimatum during lunch yesterday, he said, okay in your 1 to 1 with yoda ( nickname we gave our boss but just fortunate, she is neither cute nor as adorable as yoda but her height matches hehehehe) to spill the beans about bonnie. I said if you want to tell go ahead but you can't dictate what I want to say in my 1 to 1. Then he said this , if so then don't ever come look for me with work relate things esp the lab. WHAT THE !*@&#(*!&@#*!. whats happening to the team?
For me, I just do my work, I need to get my numbers up.... thats all. Get my fricking salary and dream of a future away from this corporate crap.
Actually bonnie has a nickname we call him at work its 42.... :) have you ever watch that awful not fully english comedy on tv.... the no 42 at ....
hehehhee.
My mood has better today. Thurdsay and friday was pretty foul as problems just kept piling up and I hate the bloodee developers in the US. Bloodee arrogant group of s (!&@#*(&!@. Yesterday I was at work at 6.40am... doing some CBT training before the meeting at 10 and also to complete one of my cases.
This weekend I am just gonna snooze my brains out.
