Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas!
On Saturday I receive 3 invitations to go for a party, a scout party at Wenworth Hotel, a Christmas party at Beat’s house with 5sc1 fellas, and a dinner with some relatives. (Why can’t they arrange them on different days….haha) After giving it much thought, I decided to forgo the scout party, as Kitloong didn’t want to go and I wasn’t supposed to go single, and go for the Xmas party instead… though I felt sorry for letting down KahChing and Kamhei. Well…

Anyway, the party went on great, thanks to Beatrice and Twins’s superb organizing skills. The food was d-licious, mayb with the exception of Yolanda’s what was that? Pasta? Since when did Kenny Rogers come up with this kind of weird paste-like thingy? Haha… Just joking. Pei Yei and twin’s cake/breadpudding was really yummy too.

While we were eating in a circle, Peipei suddenly came and lean on Roshan’s leg! I think she even pinch his leg or something, though I missed most of the action. Haha, suddenly, Roshan a.k.a JaySean, being his usual Roshanic self (translation: shy), jumped up and immediately called his “gf”, probably to apologise. And the whole place erupted with laughter, well, a new couple is born, it’s something worth celebrating right?

After we played the usual musical chair, chairless but with pillows.

Here are the pics

And the friends

YOu might start to wonder where am I in those pics. Well, where indeed? I am starting to wonder if I ever did go to the party. :P

DAY 1
After a nervous morning (cause my mum told me a bunch of Do's and Dont's I couldn't really adhere to, like don't use handphone), I reach the company my parents are currently working in at 8:30. Christina from Retail was supposed to make a pass for me, but because the person-in-charge wasn't around, I had to be pass-less, meaning, I wouldn't be able to even go to the washroom without harrassing someone to open the door for me.

Anyway, upon reaching the Credit Control Department, which is the place I would be at for this two days, I was disappointed, yet relieved. It was a small office, consist of around 10 person, including Goh, the Manager of the department.

The morning session was DAMN boring. Everyone was busy making calls, printing stuffs, typing... So none of them gave me as much as a glance. Being given a Standard Operating Procedure handbook about 1 1/2 inch, I began to read and eventually, day-dream. Dream, dream.... zzzz....sms.... come on, the time couldn't be that slow!! ..... Finally, my dad came into the department and rescued me away for lunch.

The second session was much better. Goh gave me a briefing about buying and selling of shares in relation to remisiers, and then Yap continued on Limits and other basic stuffs. Still, I wasn't of much help to them as when I offered to help, they answered," It's ok" (translation: just sit down don't disturb) Then a person came out from the inner office and asked to talk to me. So i went in and he went on about Accounting, CPA, and stuffs. When I finally squeezed out some courage to barge into his room to ask him some questions, I then realise that he is the Executive Director of that company! OMG, Imagine how he feel when I asked him,"What do you do for the company?" Opps.

DAY 3
Today, I went to Research Department. What I would have to say is.... the people in the 2 departments differs in many ways. Everyone here is English speaking, and the whole environment is more lively. Surprisingly, most of them are quite young, the oldest being 30++. It's like walking into a college. YenLing, a girl who just started working here as a Research Assistant (RA) after graduating from Manchester U (UK) earlier this year helped me a lot. She gave me some stuffs to do and gave me her user ID so i could log on to the net and do "whatever you want". (really?)

That night, I followed my parents to a dinner, again. It's a welcoming party for the new boss, David. The food was okay but I really wanted to get outta there as it was so boring for me and most of them were smoking and drinking. (It's their tradition to test their boss's drinking skill)
-.-"'''

DAY 5
I followed the research people to the morning meeting which they would be presenting their report every morning. I felt lucky I wasn't the one presenting. It's Issac's turn today, and I think most of them were unhappy with his presentation. One of the dealer shot him with a lot of 'ridiculous' questions which he could not answer. The dealer, dissatisfied with the answer, shook this head and started to walk out of the room, until the research departmental head, Andy started to explain that the question was out of the scope (they don't need to know the answers), and then both of them began to raise their voice. Feeling angry, the dealer just walked out and slammed the door!

After going with them for breakfast, they went back to the room and did an international report. YenLing turned on a weird radio-like machine and dailed two numbers (I think it's to Thailand and Singapore). The all the research analyst began to present their report in front of the machine in turn. There was not even a sound from the other end that I seriously doubt if anyone's listening at all. When the last person finished, I was anticipating another question-answer-quarelling session, but instead, they just turned it off without even listening to the next country's report. Then I wonder, what's the point of reporting if no one cares to listen? Puzzling indeed.

Right after that, Andy held a meeting. Of course, he commented on Issac's presentation. Not clear enough. Next time, record his presentation and let him listen. I doubt he even know's what he's presenting. Then he went on with a new format of report, and everything went back to normal.

DAY 8
This time around, it's Settlement department. Out of the three, I think this is one department that I can actually understand and help a little, as basically, what they do is mostly proccesing forms and as for the main counter, cheques. The Head, LiFen, was more organised as she arranged people to actually explain what they do to me. So... I got to help out here in the backroom and the main counter. But still, it's not something one would like to do for the holidays.

DAY 10
Yoohoo!! Last day! Today, I was put under 'Transfers' and a Malay lady kindly taught me the procedures and tricks that the remisiers do to make money. Then I went around giving presents to all of them as a token of appreciation, and off I went to celebrate! Haha.

Comments
The one thing I learned from this whole experience is, appreciate and enjoy your student life before its gone! Really, it's much better, and yes, even the burning-the-midnight-oil part. Well, at least a got a RM300 allowance for being a two-week-disturbance to them.

One word to describe the concert.
Thunderous.
Imagine the sound loud enough to lift up the mood of the entire stadium blast off right in front of you. That's how close I was to the stage. Even my jeans was literary moving due to the sound.
Just like the last concert, we didn’t have the chance to have a proper dinner. Only difference is this time, we had KFC instead. At around 7:45, my family, my aunt, my young cousin, Kitloong, and XiaoYan arrived the Kelana Jaya Outdoor Stadium. Many were queuing up to get in, thanks to the SVVIP ticket we had, we went in from the other entrance, skipping in the queue.

We decided to go to the mobile toilet. Immediately I regretted once I got in. The whole cubicle smelled of, ahem, you-know-what. NO water was supplied so I couldn’t even flush or wash my hands. And yet the whole cubicle was WET?!! even the top, imagine what that is. When I came out though, I saw all 3 of them wore the same expression as I, so I guess it’s not just mine.

The next 20 minutes were spent finding a water supply to wash our hands. And somewhere in between, the rain stopped. At 8:15, the concert begun.
Immediately I started to think, hey, maybe having an ordinary back row seat at a concert wouldn’t be a bad idea after all. I didn’t expect it to be that loud. It was like, the whole stage exploded when the music came into life. I swear I couldn’t even breathe properly throughout the concert.

Now there she is.

Fast beat, lively, dancing through the night, that's her.

Yet when we looked closely, we noticed how tired she was. Fragile and thin, I couldn't even imagine how hectic and strict ( in terms of food) her life must be. Camera can really widen a person. You couldnt even spot a single piece of fat on her. Really, people, stop harrasing those actors/ress and singers with your criticism, it's really unfair to want them to be perfect when we ourselves don't.

Energy came!

That's 天空 's songwriter, wei si lin.

The only drawback, not much people shouted for Encore. (She said she might perform again if the audience insist)

Terima Kasih!

Does any of you like Jolin Tsai? She's performing in Malaysia on 9th Dec. ANd the best part is... I've got tickets to the concert!! FOC. Haha... I can't believe my luck. Well, eventhough I am not that huge fans of hers, I like her song. I wonder who wrote the songs for her. It's somehow, "uniquely off-beat, hard to catch, but still sounds right" Unlike some songs which, eventhough u've never heard before, you can guess the tune within ten seconds. The fact that she can dance is a plus too.
