don't work in a bank...

No mood and idea to write about anything these days.
Might ditch this blog for awhile..

*yawn*
*yawn*
*yawn*

God, banking industry is so rigid.
Trust me, its full of protocols and policies, plus the workload will literally suck the daylights out of you! My days of watching the sunrise and sunsets will be over in a few months time...

Sigh, no fun...

whale done~!

What's awesome about being employed by the 'Big Boys' is the opportunity to go for ample of trainings. That was what my awesome giler2 ex-college mates turned colleagues and myself did for the past three days.
Besides than free food and valid excuse to skip work, we had fun meeting with the rest of the newbies and playing games. One of the activities we did was presentation of what we need to know and obligations as employee via drawings.
Above picture display about Anti-Money Laundering Act that my group presented. Our group had the most interesting colourful drawings (self-proclaimed of course, haha!), thanks to our internal artist, Nic Choe who came all the way from Johor Bahru to attend the training.
All and all, I personally think the training could be structured in a better way.
.
If I'm still in the company (planning to find a better job) until end of next month, I'll write a feedback to the learning development centre to hire more articulate speakers so that Eu Jin or anybody with Eu Jin's blunt honesty wouldn't make fun of any slips of the tougue by the speakers, with a straight face. Iskhhh....pandang rendah giler!
.
Heh!..

p/s: I don't belong in a deskjob....

the kick-start of the year..



















** first random picture taken by Ket Seong & Eu Jinn with my camera phone and they make it my wallpaper..

I'm loving my 2008 so far.

It's just great to have a job again (thou' I'm not too thrill with the prospects) but hey, whatever pays the bills~! I'm still in the middle of interviews and applying for a 'proper' Management Trainee programme, preferably NOT in banking! Heck, we'll see about that....I have no choice but to wait and see how things will turn out.

















** Never stand beside a Bangla, be it on the streets or on a bus, or u'll end up like this Amoi... photograph by yours truly..

And it's great to catch up with buddies from ages ago, it was seriously unplanned. They thought of me, called me up and walahhhh...and bumped into a few other 'gang' and decided to extend the yumcha session. Met a few potential lepak geng too...and other potential 'ehem', lol.. The guy is soooooooooooooooooo cute!

And I received two of the first wedding invitation for this weekend, a potluck gathering (potluck is getting famous amongst my friends - kedekut nak keluarkan duit sebenarnya, hehe) and a CNY steamboat get-together with my cool no-nagging "married" clans. And on top of that, I'm having annual dinner with my new division and a dinner cum movie marathon cum Mario Brothers 'competition' with a long lost pal from childhood.

















** 'dating' at OUG Steven's Corner was 'romanticized' with 5 minutes firework display, thou' pardon my phone camera, the picture is not that clear....its only 1.3 megapixels, so don't expect much..

Aaaahhh..... simply loving the company of peeps.

And the best part of all...........................................I had the best Oreo cheese cake, ribena longan, ketam masak lemak cili padi (and got myself in hospitalized yet again, don't ask), had various lamb dishes....yummy yummy yummy!! And was delighted to the core when I 'hentam' three Krispy Creme donuts, allllllllllllllllllllll the way from Sydney on the same day! Lucky me... I didn't get the chance to snap a picture of it..ehem...more like tak sempat snap pics la cause air liur dah meleleh...hehehe..


















** Apple iPhone that belongs to Kevin who already owned some badass Nokia phone and tons of $$$$... he should spend his money on ME, rather than gadgets he can live without.... ;p

Oh.. and I finally got the chance to play around with an iPhone. Thou' some dude I know might not agree with me when I say this.., I find the phone useless except for its cunted graphics. And it was USD399, siap with hacking ntah apa ntah so that the phone's able to support all SIM cards.

Yada yada yada....

I have to end this entry. I have to wake up early and get the 7.15am bus if I don't wish to be stuck in at-least an hour traffic jam in Jalan Genting Kelang... waking up before 9am is the only sucky thing so far, I'm soooooo not a morning person!
