Hurrah

Spiderman 3, here I come!

(many thanks to moi sister who bought them tickets)

(woohoo!)

Drama weii, drama!

(Refer to this post)

Remember what I said about "...watch out for the drama that's already unravelling before your eyes"?

Well guess what.

A GM that we are chummy with cannot quite believe that my colleague and I are resigning. At first he was ok with it, and now he isn't. He went to see my company Chairman (?!?!?!?!) and now he has instructed the CEO to see us personally.

O.M.G.

Is this really necessary?!

Happy 3rd Anniversary Bantus Capoeira Malaysia!

Update:

Photos from last night's celebration on Hilmy's blog. That's me in yellow. Tee hee hee.

Hey ho! Happy 3rd Anniverysary to Bantus Capoeira Malaysia!

It's gonna be a fun filled night of roda-ing and food. Come join us at the academy if you can, 8pm onwards...

;)

Ok peeps. I've done it.

I've finally resigned from my job of 4 years & 10 months.

Pretty decent for a first job, no? Anyway.

The process of actually resigning was simple enough. Getting the courage to actually do it was a totally different matter as I was super nervous. Finally 'threw' in the letter on Monday after work. My bosses (GM & Manager) were caught unaware and were pretty shocked.

There's too much to type, but to make things short: After meeting with my GM for 1/2 hour on Monday evening, I came out even more determined to leave. Why? Because the things he said to me (in between "Why?" and "What can we do to make you stay?") wasn't actually very reassuring. Things like "You know, I'm not in the habit of taking back people who leave" and "You know the turnover rate for the industry you are going into is very high and on a whole, not stable."

What the...?

Maybe his PR skills weren't very good. Maybe he really didn't know what else to say. Maybe he was just babbling. Maybe he was a bit intimidated cause I didn't say very much. Who knows?

To make matters worse, my colleague has also resigned. As some of you know, my department is actually made up of only the 2 of us, so things will get real bad if we both leave at the same time.

Jeng jeng jeng!

I'll be meeting with my boss again today to discuss some alternative arrangements (from his side, not mine). I doubt he can sway my decision anymore. It's a done deal. As they say, the contract has been 'signed, sealed and delivered'. So folks, do watch out for the drama that's already unravelling before your eyes.

More updates later. Thanks for reading kengkawans! :)

Today is D-Day

(What is D-Day?)

Shopping spreeeeee

I went on a crazy, retail therapy binge last weekend. I bought (or rather, I spent money on):

2 skirts for work
1 work shirt
2 dresses (only RM30 each, cheap eh?)
1 casual top
1 pair of shoes (my dog bit my favourite pair for work!)
1 wrap around skirt
1 white shorts
1 black pants
1 black stretchy casual pants (what is it called?)
1 black jacket

Hurrah for sales (and good excuses!) :)

Where are YOU?

How do I change?

If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
