Hello Roaming!

Sengal betul tak buat roaming kat phone. And even if i did have it, i wouldn't be able to call him coz he's in Thailand. I miss him like i've never missed him before and the worst thing is i don't even know if i'm still gonna be with him when we're both back in Malaysia. Oh god i HATE this feeling!

Selamat Datang ke Singapore

29.12.2009
1330: Left the house ngan cab.
1415: Reached KLCC to take the Putra to KL Central
1430: Sampai KL Central untuk transit ke LCCT dengan Sky Bus
1530: Tibe ke LCCT - check in - went to Departures and found that i had excess liquids in my back pack (my kepentingans and keperluans - Cetaphil & Sebamed) and cause i didn't want to leave them - terpaksalah naik balik ke check-in untuk check-inkan bag.
1630: Lepak kat Departures - dengar lagu-lagu best dari telefon bimbitku (seriously time to get a new MP3 player - Creative Neon dah lingkup, Ipod Shuffle takleh nak masukkan lagu - absolute frustration) sambil membace:

(yeah yeah yeah - am 26 and baru nak baca buku Harry Potter yang ke-2). Unfortunely flight AK709 was delayed due to some delay from Langkawi and the heavy rain (flight was to be at 1700).
1830: Touch down at the Changi Airport - while queuing up for the passport checking, i saw everyone holding this card. I HAD (sebab takut nak tanya punya pasal la kan) to wait til i was 2nd in line to finally ask the person behind me whether the card was necessary - yeah, he wasn't sure (think he was Japanese or Korean). Not willing to take any chances, i got out of the queue to fill in what you called an Arrival Card. Which apparently (after reading the terms & conditions behind the card) is mandatory to be completed and provided during arrivals in Singapore (and some other countries) - oh on top of that my back pack pun dibasahi hujan while it was being loaded into the plane
1900: Re-united with one of my besties Jaclynn - hugged and took the MRT to Tampines as Jaclynn insisted to get me a pair of new shoes for that night as we were to enter one of the most high class clubs in Singapore: StereoLab.

Jaclynn (insisting to carry my heavy heavy back pack)
Me at the MRT station with 2 handbags (we had to switch)And so my 1st pair of Ballerina flats

After this point, i did not at all track the time.

So we got the shoes and went home in a rush (Pasir Ris) and freshened up a bit, took a cab to Clarke Quay and lepak-ed at this bar called Crazy Elephant - Met Jac's friends: El, Zad, Manfred, Tim & another. Of course i had to be tempted to take a ride on the slingshot, so guess what? :

Before queuing

Preparing for lift offUP UP & AWAY!

We then did a little more lepak-ing, then Jac's crazy but really nice friend Zad proposed & INSISTED for us to take a ride on a TRISHAW (YES Beca ye!) to StereoLab (Me & Jac on 1, and Jac's friends Zad & Tim on another - a few others: Manfred & another took a cab - so lucky us. El didn't join as she had to go home and rest - worked the next day) which was i think a 15 - 20mins ride. Jaclynn agak malu nak arrive at the club on a beca so we stopped slightly further up to walk a little. But Zad and Tim made a grand entrance together with a few luxury cars at the main entrance. Funny.

We danced like for 3 - 4 hours at StereoLab to Pete Tong's DJ-ing. Dah habis, they bawak me to a place they call "back to Malaysia" (KTM ye) - the Hungry ate and the Thirsty drank.

We ended the day and took a cab back to Jac's place and it actually to about 45mins to finally reach home - the roads were clear. I think we were home at about 5am - really tired, Jaclynn memang terlentang terus, i cleaned a bit before tidor.

= My 1st day in Singapore, my 1st time overseas after Scotland.

Good News...i think?

So last week my Manager & Assistant Manager called me up to have a serious "talk". Long story short, they asked me if i was interested in taking up a trainer responsibility (without the title) coz the one responsible currently has applied elsewhere.

After all the persuasion from them and the demands from me, Alhamdulillah they've approved my demands and i've decided to stay (for now) and i think my first trip would be to Korea. Yayy.

With that done and settled with...kene start pening kepala about the move and the bills i have to settle before moving...

Paranoia

Day 1
Big Boss : Hi, how are you?
Me : Fine :s
Big Boss : Where do you stay?
Me : Ampang.
Big Boss : Ampang is big...
Me : Bandar Baru Ampang.
Big Boss : Aaa, no wonder i feel as though i've seen you before..
Me : (muke pelik)
Big Boss : Coz i always hang around Ampang Point, i think that's where i've seen you before...
Me : Mmm...i don't think so. I RARELY go to Ampang Point. RARELY. I think i'm there only once in 4 months or something - only when i know i have to get something from there.
Big Boss : Aaa..then it's definately not Ampang Point. (pause). I was telling VJ how you have such a familiar face. Where did you work before this?
Me : Wisma Selangor Dredging.
Big Boss : I guess i was wrong then :)
Me : Yeah, i guess...maybe she was one of my pelanduk dua serupa people...

Innocent right?

Day 3 (there was no day 2)
Time ni dah malam dah la...some-time between 6.00PM to 8.30PM when there was hardly anyone in the office...
Big Boss : So how are you today?
Me : Fine
Big Boss : How did you come to work?
Me : Bus
Big Boss : You know if some days i work late and you're still here, i don't mind dropping you home.
Me : (i made a crooked face)
Big Boss : Yeah, coz it's on the way...you do remember where i stay don't you?
Me : (another crooked face)...no.
Big Boss : I told you where i stayed the other day, this is so sad.
Me : (urghh), you didn't.
Big Boss : Well, it's obvious you don't think of me, that's why you don't remember.
Me : (Eeewww...getting uncomfortable)...you didn't mention it.
Big Boss : i know you're purposely not remembering right?
Me : No (i wish i just said yes).
Big Boss : I stay at Bukit Antarabangsa.
Me : You didn't tell me.
Big Boss : Ok. I'll test you next time.

Not so innocent anymore...or was it?

I've had experiences with the CEO (that's fine, i don't bump into him often), i don't wanna be experiencing some what with the SM...(we're on the same floor) and it's just gross. I just hope it's nothing.

Termination

First:
You retain me saying that "if you leave, you'll be leaving for an offer that's giving you about the same amount of what we are offering you currently after all the benefits (Shift allowance / PH OT)"
BULLSHIT!: Cause now all benefits are taken away leaving me with only 60% from what i'm really supposed to be taking home. You have caused me to be in more debt and i HATE you because of that.

Second:
You say that you'd try your BEST to offer an increment.
BULLSHIT!: The company ended up holding any increment for this year and i HATE you because of that.

Third:
You claim you want to practice standardization for all inbound departments, adding that we do not have enough work on our hands.
BULLSHIT!: I told you eff-ing so. Now you bring in more countries and more clients, everything can't be done in a day even after you jumping in to help (like yeah right!). We're eff-ing underpaid - doing more than other departments do, handling more than 1 client -but being paid the same as other departments are being paid. Where the eff is the standardization in that? And i HATE you because of that.

Oh God! Please show me some light and a path for me to get out of this horrid horrid place!

Feminine

I've come to realize that i'm actually quite a feminine female. The only un-feminine thing about me is my appearance i guess (i'm gonna be sticking to sneakers and flip-flops for a while to come).

How i came to admit to this? Well yesterday morning, my boss nak ikut bancuh coffee before i logged in for work. So while mixing and all, this conversation came up:

Boss : Syazni, can i ask you something?

Me : Hmmm

Boss : I know we're all modern Malaysians rite? but...

(Looooonnngggg pause)

Me : Yes?

Boss : Don't you get a li'l uncomfortable when she starts talking about her boyfriends / scandals? i mean....(well she made a face)

Me : I get what you mean, but i there's nothing much that we can do. I just listen if she's suddenly in the mood to tell but i wouldn't go start asking her about anything to do with her relationships. There's only so much that we can take in.

(another long pause)

Boss : Yeah, well i think she's just trying to prove that she's one of us. Actually, she's way more feminine than us. Especially you and me, well me...you are a bit feminine.

(boring long pause, still waiting for her to finish mixing her coffee)

Me : Yeah, i am feminine. The only thing that's not feminine about me is that i like to wear sneakers and i rarely wear make-up :)

Boss : Screw anyone who says anything about sneakers, they're comfortable.

Me : Yup, i think if one day if i have to start dressing up formal to the office, i will suit up, but instead of heels or whatever other kinda shoes that your supposed to wear with formal wear, i'd end up putting on a pair of converses.

The End

A few more things you need to know:
  1. I don't only wear my Raybans to protect my eyes from the sun, i wear them so i can look a little more ganas and unapproachable to contradict my sweet li'l kiddie face cause i don't wanna be easily approached. (i know it sound way too lame...but yeah)
  2. I love the girlie cloths, the make-up, the shoes (if i finally find a pair that are comfy) but i'm still too scared of the world and what people say and especially the competition (to me it's like a competition on who can wear the trend best, you see one girl passing by and then you look at yourself, asking yourself if you look better or worse. And if you look worse, you end up going on a hunt for something to make you look better and this will go on and on and you'll never be satisfied / If you look better, you'll go "well i look way better than her, die tak reti bawak langsung...bla bla bla"). Well actually i don't do the mentioned but i hate the fact and thank god i'm not a trend follower.
  3. I'm a very manja person, but only to my favourite person/people and who i'm comfortable with and i know will be comfortable with for a long long time.
  4. I'm a typical girlie-girl, I wanna get married and be the perfect wife for my perfect husband and be all beautiful for him every single day so he knows he's got something to come home to: A beautiful wife and good home-cooked food (although i don't know how to cook now, i will soon...hehehe) and then later on beautiful children.
Yang tu je kot yang i know for now, there may be some other people that know me better than i know myself and that perceive different about me, you can believe them too :)

So there you go, that's a little to give to show that i am feminine a little if not a lot.

Welcoming myself.

So here's the thing, this right here is just a platform for me (i don't really know for what) and also probably something to keep me a little more busy than i am currently. I'm not that much of a writer, a composer, a blogger (the least if not at all) but i thought of trying.

The end for now. Welcome Syazni :)
