Va te faire voir

wish he was my boss


For some of you that have not known, yours truly is no longer unemployed. Sorry that you would have to learn the news through my blog. Suffice to say that I like the job but not the environment LOL. But since a whole lot of people that I know of kept saying hey just go, give it a try and see how it goes then I did go and I knew from the start that there’s must be something wrong with the position Well, I’ve been there for 2 weeks now and I suppose I had a very good idea on this company. Oh, by the way this position is supposed to be a temporary position to permanent, if everything goes well. Which I kind of doubt based on the financial siatuation of the company.

When I was 1st called in for the interview I was told that the position is as similar as my previous post. At the time I thought well I could learn lots of things as they have ISO this ISO that. The funny thing is my second interview was conducted after I had accepted the job verbally. Odd you say? Wait till you have read more.

In the second interview I had to wait 1 hour for the interviewer and another 1 1/12 hour for interview. Luckily I keep my book handy. I was then asked to describe my job scope in my previous position and I even got my handwriting analyzed by the interviewer which is now my HOD. “waaaaaaaaa you tend to stress on letters like f ar l ar..you must be really go getter right?” I was about to answer yes I have a tendency to stress on these 2 letters because I am most likely to mutter f*** lu under my breath but no, no, no, I politely answered, “Yes, I am such a go getter that will benefit the company and that is why I should be hired” and with that I had drove the final nail of my own coffin. *sigh*


(Note to self:
1. If a company is popular and always been mentioned in the news it doesn’t mean that they'd give you a good package
2. Your position’s name is designed to mislead you on your jobscope
Darn!)

It’s kind of bored since there is no I repeat NO CUTE GUY in the same floor which is a very big turn off for yours truly. The good news is in these few weeks a group of lawyers and auditors are there for some corporate exercise so at least I could still have a bit of motivation to go to work everyday. One more thing is that I am in an all girl department which is known as COSEC. Knowing me you would have guessed that I would mispronounce it sooner or later as COSEX. It sounds somewhat of an orgy party don't you think? Luckily I was not charged with sexual harassment act as I had signed an agreement to adhere to the act. Duh!

Books

Managed to finish 3 books this week. I believe that I did a lot of reading to get rid of the stress from this so called stress free job.

1. Talk to the snail by Stephen Clarke

He’s one of my favourite authors. After finishing this book in my humble opinion that those who in contacts with the French could really relate to the book. And not forgetting those sarong party girls who always hunt them down at clubs or anywhere applicable will definitely learn a lot and should be able to come up with somewhat intelligent plot to marry French. But it would still be an enjoyable read especially if you want to learn how to curse in other languages which would benefit you tremendously especially at work as there is a section at every end of the chapters where the author lists down the common phrases used by French.

2. Pontianak with survival guidelines by Nambai

I don’t really read humor books written by Malaysian authors but I think Nambai had made a very good attempt with this book. A must read if you wish to camp in the wood I suppose. There might be some tips that would become handy! Who knows?

3. Malaysian Politicians Say The Darndest Things by Amir Muhammad

If you read Off The Edge then you might have read some of the phrases in the book which was excerpted in the magazine. It’s a collection of quotes from our beloved ministers from over 3 decades. With every quote there would be explanations of how, where and why the quotes were said. It was a great help in order for us to really understand what the quote is about and why it is categorized as darndest. I would have to agree with lots of other Malaysian’s out there that lagu IT is the most annoying song of the 1990s.

Talking about song, I would like to start a campaign to stop radio stations from playing Sean Kingston’s song, Beautiful Girl during the morning rush hour. Really kills my mood ok? We already have Akon why should we need another singer with suara sengau itik serati itu? Hehehehehe

Movies

Nagabonar 2

PLEASE WATCH IT AT THE CINEMA OR EVEN BETTER IF YOU COULD BORROW THE DVD FRO YOUR FRIEND (just like I did hehehe). It’s definitely good. I like! "Apa kata dunia?"

Setinggan

It’s one of my all time fave and watched it while waiting for iftar. Really brought back the memory. Kudos to Aziz Satar for his great effort to direct the movie. Bravo Pak Aziz!


How Far We've Come - Matchbox 20

Waking up at the start of the end of the world

But it's feeling just like every other morning before

I wonder what my life is gonna mean if it's gone

The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that

Started staring at the passengers waving goodbye

Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time

But I believe the world

Is burning to the ground

Oh well I guess

We're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

Let's see how far we've come

I believe it all

Is coming to an end

Oh well I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but

I don't really know

I can't remember caring for an hour or so

Started crying and I couldn't stop myself

I started running but there's nowhere to run

I sat down on the street, took a look at

Said where you going man you know the world is heading for hell

Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can

Say goodbye to I believe the world

Is burning to the ground

well I guess

We're gonna find out

see how far we've come (right now)

see how far we've come

I believe it all

coming to an end

well I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

Let's see how far we've come

gone gone baby it's all gone

is no one on the corner and there’s no one at home

was cool cool, it was just all cool

it’s over for me and it’s over for you

Well it's gone gone baby it's all gone

is no one on the corner and there’s no one at home

it was cool cool, it was just all cool

Now it’s over for me and it’s over for you

I believe the world Is burning to the ground

Oh well I guess

We're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

Let’s see how far we’ve come

Well I believe it all Is coming to an end

Oh well I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come
