Downgrading phones.
Thursday, July 15, 2004
Man change phone either by buying or upgrading... how come when i change a phone neither do i have to buy or upgrade... instead to downgrade??? within a month ... my Nokia 8850 my fav..changed to 8250..nw to Ecrisson T160...how come everyone like to change phone with me... i'm not a second hand shop... hai...

My uncle called, out of a sudden, realised he changed a lot, hear thru his tone. ask me wad i was doing currently. y nv go and apply. wads' the outcome. i told him abt my job. ever since he gt a gf, he changed, maybe more daring, more to his gf's side. dun blame him after all he finally found his love. first thing just felt he had a motive for calling but nt straight to his point. he just wan to swap phone for temp use w my aunt. thou i dun wish to but agreed to help him out since he's my uncle. he's a nice fellow.

Felt kinda inferior when i spoke to him. sensed that he was not really sincere abt my affairs. thou he still asked abt me once in a blue moon. inferior maybe.. used to it.. diff family background..is always like tt. just fight for ur dreams and show to them

New job yumyum.....
Wednesday, July 14, 2004
Yupz... its a week plus since i left hsbc... glad i didnt hold back in staying... just landed another job at a subsidary firm of Spore Technologies as Accounts Asst..

Know the name may sound nice at first hear.. but it involves basically only 'kuching kurak' work... Went for interview today early in morn had to drag myself out of bed!! haiz..my slp... had to travel a journey as it's at yck.. only to find out later...had to walk 20 mins walk to their building...really far....

At the interview, only to find out more... well actually was to to do calling for chasing bad debts~! and worst that's the main job scope! and that's what i mind the most.. in the end i replied her had to think abt it and left first.. mins after i left their office and the agent called me shouting to me like " hey yingkai~~ you don't want the job?? Carmen( hr exec ) likes you a lot! she wants to take you! " i was like... stumped of cuz.. cuz the person who interviewed me in the first place was not her but her subordinate..i have never seen her at all.. not even say spoke to her.. only her subordinate pass the msg to her on how she felt about me... hai...wad a crap agents can come out with...

I told my agent i had to consider first as i had another job interview in the afternoon and coincidentally under the same company as well... but this time was through the employer priscilla directly... Priscilla was under Carmen's dept of hq as well...but both didnt know they offered me 2 jobs together... eventually, my agent actually revealed to Carmen that " Aiya yingkai has so many interviews leh" Well, i believe the agent sure has told Carmen the truth about Priscilla offering me the job at a bit higher pay as well... but only on two month basis instead of six months..

Four of us were busy cross- calling each other ( Priscilla, Carmen, my agent and me )... which i find it so sick of the whole thing.. in the end i dunno wad Carmen told Priscilla, Priscilla actually called me to cancel the interview.. which i get the meaning... on the pretext that they had to cancel all interviews for the job at hq side and do some shortlisting on the candidates first before they confirm for interview... which i got the meaning... and guess wad... Pris was still stammering... haiz...if u wanna lie... give a better one thou...


I was damn pissed off...but still manage to react calmly... wad to do ... guess they really need a long term temp person on the first side... well.. my agent was not too bad.. dunno how she fought.. managed to get me extra 200 bucks into my monthly pay which a non undergrad could hardly get.. it was not too much ... but frankly speaking it's hard to get the same rate elsewhere...ha..but i still complain of the work scope saying i was not really into whole calling... somehow they manage to convince me to fit me into other duties related to finance if poss other than callin... well, i never seen a company accomodated me so much... just accept and try lor..else feel very bad to them... not that i very buai hiao bai... but maybe hm..looks convincingly sincere?? heez...

YEaH... starting work next week~ Hope all turns well

torn to pieces...
Wednesday, July 07, 2004
2001... the yr that changed my life... where i felt so directionless... it was the time which i led a wandering life in pjc...thinking last min studies do make miracles... but eventually turn out wrong... it was the period when i slacked, led off track and slowed down in terms of motivation power. in the end i paid the price for 2002.

slept a lot.. and slept a lot..till i became lethargic every day... sch was fun... but my energy span could nv last me more than the afternoon..

2004.i got my results. was quite alright given the effort that i put in. thou was not up to expectations. only one subject killed me. this was the yr which i landed in the wrong job. and tt eroded half a yr of my entire life again.

' The day i left the airport'

last week, i headed to the airport to send off Randy. the day where he turned around and stepped into the immigrations with just a word of thanks, made my heart came to a decision.. many a times i wanted to just call his name and tell him some things before he turn ard and leave but was just tongue tied. sometimes things are fated, we just couldnt communicate that's all... and he should have already had his girl by now. eventually, i don't intend to contact him anymore when he comes back, cuz i made the decision of giving him up.

Recent Happenings- first job after break (5/7/04)
Tuesday, July 06, 2004
Today was my first day in a foreign bank at dohby ghaut… was looking forward to it since last week.

Well first day went under a temp colleague… Sabrina, she demonstrated the methods to update data entry of all clients….. So many thousands…

That’s nt all ..best part is I had to see and take down notes myself…. And to learn within today~~

Opening tens over screens, memorize all codes, passwords and initials, and to play ard w two computers all day….update whole day…. Estimated ard to finish 200 plus a/c min per day… but only 20 half completed for 6 hours~~~ argh….. such a failure… this environment is strictly fast paced…. Learn fast , do fast, take more new tasks fast too…. Simple data entry but hard to perform…. Almost as if expecting u to learn full sets of A/C within one day!

Dahpne the one whom I will be taking over her place… and the one to teach me the stuff also… was actually an Asean Scholar, younger than me…. But she knew everything at the back of her hand, and learns things as quick as lighting…. Not that all those ppl are non approachable.. but they have their own work piling up and it seems hard trying to distract them…. At this point in time, where one needs to pick up her skills, i cant be left independent like surviving in a desert w/o water…

How stress to let a scholar teach me…..~~~~ argh…… well…. Not forgetting I made the com hang more than thrice, lock the pass word and had to retrieve from the main office., and had to bother Dahpne… hai paiseh ler……

The whole place is lively but scary… so many ppl…. But u only feel that u are the only one der…it’s time to be independent perhaps….

Recent happenings- trip to china (7/6/04 – 14/6/04 )
Sorry pals..i noe its been a while since I updated my blog… well here I am back again ya….

Well, in case u wanna know… I’m not schling, neither am I working nw… should I define it as rotting…? ;p

Quitted my previous job in early june, that’s why I left for china on a long vacation in mid june… went w my parents and my bro… was a fun trip and learnt quite a no of history of china… visited places like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing and lastly Shanghai…. Everyday was a rush cuz we only had a day to tour each province.. but Shanghai was bit better had the chance to tour its Big City free and easy for two days thou…Indeed China is forever changing even so for every few months… more expressways to link the provinces up and more transport too…. In case anyone won’t know… china has its fav phrase too : when u reach Nanjing, you will see “ Shi Tou ” aka Stones.. in Suzhou its called seeing “ Ya Tou ” aka pretty babes, in Wuxi, its called “ Ken Gu Tou ” aka eating bones cuz its famous for its Pork Ribs, in Hangzhou its another one called “ Kan Qiao Tou ” aka looking at man made bridges… lastly will be the most voted Shanghai aka “ Kan Ren Tou ” aka seeing ppl’s heads cuz the city is so… so big… well its definitely interesting…

Well, in China one good thing any one must learn is to Bargain!!!! Of cuz… goods produced directly from china are at low cost, of cuz must kill their price to as low as 1/3 of their original price!! Else you will be cheated wor~~~ definitely after the trip I have learnt to becum an auntie haha…. In Shanghai then… also the last of all provinces visited, it’s the best, famous for its dumplings and imitated real like branded goods aka shui huo… the best one cant miss if they were to go der… and ppl der extremely rude.. dun be surprised if they knock into you or push you all the way out of the train w/o even saying sorry~~ well. .hated it was being touched so many times on my shoulders for nothing~! Of course not forgetting Shanghainese also have absolutely no fashion sense… they can wear red blouse, green skirts, black and white socks cum yellow shoes… make me feel like errr…….hahha….

One amazing fact tt I actually found out… was the Nan Pu Da Qiao that links to Shanghai… der’s this wording that was actually hand written by the former Deng Xiao Ping on the high Bridge…. The Chinese word “ PU ” in case for Chinese who knows the word, the last stroke/ dot of the word is actually written below the original stroke where it was supposed to be written… of cuz nt becuz Deng Xiao Ping too short or wad cant reach for that.. but it actually has one significant meaning… Deng Xiao Ping wants to wait for Shanghai to be the most prosperous state in China and one of the best tt attracts investors before he can peacefully change the stroke back to original proudly…unfortunately, when his dream was finally realized, he did not have the chance to change it, only HE is the one who has the authority to change it, derfore to this date the word has still remained incorrect on tt high bridge…
