Life as a credit control officer
The calendar at my desk. I'm always looking forward to put a BIG CROSS on it... because it means that the end of the month is approaching.
The computer at my desk. HP brand. The only good thing about this is that we can listen to our mp3 on the desktop. The downside of it is that we can't connect to the internet. >.< I'm actually wishing that we have internet connection there in the office everyday. Yeah, just too bad...
This lion and the small tortoise is a McD Happy Meal toy inspired by The Wild. It's on my desk since a few weeks back coz i had happy meal for lunch on a super-boring Saturday afternoon during my lunch hour. I know i sound like a kid but i do love happy meals. Hehe!
You can see the telephone on my desk here. Don't think this job is glamourous ok.
A board to separate our working stations. Typical office-like environment.
Hello, good morning. May i speak to Mr. So-and-So? This is Yina here, calling on the behalf of Citibank.
I'm sure you can imagine how tedious and boring my job is right now. Hahaha.
My working station. It's kinda messy but i don't care. Haha. As long as i get my work done and get my salary, then i'm satisfied already. Hehe.
p.s.: I hope Su Jun is happy after reading this post of mine. =P
Su Jun, you better be happy alright? Hahaha.
I need some help here!
Can't really decide on which colour I should get... been thinking about this for the past few weeks. Geez. I think
black is elegant and sophisticated. As for
white, i think it's pure and demure and classic. Gosh, black and white is equally good for an ipod. What colour should i get?
Kindly leave your comments if you have any. I think i'm driving myself crazy just by deciding on which colour i should get. Argh.. unnecessary worries. o.O Hmm... speaking about ipod nano, there's the thing i'm gonna get with my salary which i'm about to get it very very soon!!! Yes - buying an
iPod nano is the first thing i'm gonna do once i get my salary!! So i guess most of you who are reading this will know where my money will go to right? Hahaha...
I think most probably i'll grab the
4GB iPod nano which has maximum capacity for songs and podcasts and photos. Yipee! Just that right now i have trouble deciding on which colour to get... I NEED HELP!!
Really on MC this timeYes. It's true. I kid you not. I'm really on MC this time. Why? It's simple - i'm down with flu, fever, headache, and throat infection. *whines* And i think i can proudly put this big blame onto the crappy air-cond office in CS. The air-cond system is centralized... and only a few miserable people (including myself) turned up for work last Saturday bumming around in the office for more than half of the day. And not to forget, freezing our butts off while attempting to call customers and also hoping that one lucky customer will pick up our call on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
It's ridiculous, really... to be working on a Saturday. IT SUCKS!
It's pointless... totally pointless to ask your employees to come to work on a Saturday where the air-cond is killing them and the call report on Saturday is so poor. Have you guys heard about productive efficiency and allocative efficiency? If yes, please think of a way to change this crappy way of managing a company. If not, please refer to any Economics book.
Conclusion? I'm sick because of my company. I'm sick because of the bloody freezing air-cond in my office. I'm sick because i worked from 9.30am till 6.30pm last Saturday! Really hate it when i'm being forced to do something. Arrrgggghhh....
*grumbles and grumbles like an old woman*
Reminder : The blogger herself is feeling so sick today that she can only blog about her sickness and the cause of it. The blogger will blog about other interesting stuff when she thinks she's feeling better. So for the time being, please bear with it...
*coughs* *sneezes* *throat irritation* *eyes swollen* *headache*
I HATE WORKING!
Friday is Good = Good FridayAlas, i'm FREE today. TGIF... really MUST thank God that today's Friday man. Some more today's Good Friday. And god, it's raining on a Good Friday...
Nothing much happened during my last 3 working days which started from Tuesday till Thursday which was just yesterday. Did the same old freaking stuff again and again. Tedious workload i must say. And we gotta reach our minimum daily contacts of 125 everyday. It's not that difficult but it ain't easy as well. Sometimes i would get like 300+ call attempts a day but the number of contacts (which means i get to talk to the cardholder) won't be that much. So it's pretty tiring and A LOT more BORING.
Bleh!
Ok, i think i kinda promised NOT to complain about my work right? >.<
I'm so gonna have a brand new set of Baju Kebaya and a brand new set of Baju Kurung by next week. muahaha! Tailor-made by my Malay colleague's mum. Just went to her house this afternoon to get my body measurements done. Haha. My mum will be making a Nyonya-style kebaya top for herself. So my baju kebaya and baju kurung will be my 'official working attire'. LOL. I hate to take a long time to decide what to wear for work every morning man...it sucks. I'll be happy since i will have my baju kebaya and baju kurung next week as i don't have to crack my head on what to wear again. Hehe. I'll be a happy little girl for once. XD
Alright, alright. I know all of you can't even imagine how i would look like in a baju kurung and a baju kebaya. Even i myself can't imagine too! So all of us (including myself) will be put into suspense for the time being... and patiently wait for the surprise...
Hahaha!
Don't you think i'm pretty bold and daring to go make a baju kebaya and baju kurung for myself?? I dunno... i just think it's pretty fashionable... hehe.
Attention!! The boyfriend will be coming back from Hong Kong tomorrow!!!!!!!! =D
Just like that.Yes. One week has just passed by just like that. I can proudly proclaim that the last week was like an 'achievement week' for me as i went to work from Tuesday right up to Saturday without taking any unpaid leave or MC or anything. Yup, right now as i'm typing this, i can feel a proud sense of achievement running down my spine. =D But oh boy, the thought of having to work for another week (starting from tomorrow) will send shivers down my spine. I dread working badly... very very badly indeed. Ouch!
Okay. I think i should stop my grumblings and ramblings about working for the time being. But hey, working sucks! I kid you not!! Really!
*grumbles*
Last weekend, the PC Fair was held in Crappy Square once again. And yesterday, my mum, my brother and I went to buy some technological stuff. And boy, it was really cheap indeed! What a bargain! We bought a USB hub, a card-reader, a Canon bubble jet printer, original iPod earphones for my sis, 2 black ink cartridges and 1 colour ink cartridge, and a Nikon CoolPix P1 digital camera! This digital camera will be a 'family camera' where every member in the Lim's residence has the right to snap photos with it. This Nikon CoolPix P1 comes with very very good features such as :
-
8-megapixel effective CCD for prints up to 13x19 inches

3.5x optical zoom lens (36-126mm in 35mm equivalent)

I guess this is considered as a really good buy since the man selling cameras gave us a 1 gigabyte SDd memory card FOR FREE. What do you think? 8 mega-pixels is A LOT. I don't really see anything more than 8 mega-pixels nowadays, do you?
Anyways, i still prefer to own a sleek and slim Sony Cybershot T9. It looks so fashionable. Hehe. by now, i guess most of you will know that i'm bias towards certain brands eh? Another classic example is the iPod. Hehe. I swear i'm gonna get my beautiful iPod nano at the end of this month. No more second thoughts! XD
Enough about tech stuff. It's 2.52pm right now and i feel so lazy to do anything. It's so blissful just staying at home doing nothing and thinking about nothing. I love it. But for now, i would like to give a
BIG SHOUTOUT to
Wei Ling coz it's her birthday today!
HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY!!! Too bad i can't join you in CS today coz today's my off-day. Haha. =P Tomorrow lar! =P
And also, not forgetting to wish
Audrey a
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! Oopssie... hope you received my sms this morning...hehe. I was too busy yesterday, that's why. =P Miss you lots over here in Johor Bahru... =)
By the way, i have
sleek and
straight black hair now. Just went to my mum's hairdresser to dye my hair again as it was uneven before this. Still not used to it yet coz it's quite black. Hmm... not going to anything to my hair again for the next 3 months. I do have issues with my hair sometimes, really...
Can't seem to upload pictures to my blog right now... i wonder why. Hmm... i guess there's something wrong with blogger.com again. Too bad... will upload some pictures soon.. i promise!
I need a toy dog.
SHIH TZUS. I LOVE THEM. So freaking adorable!
The silky terrier. I like the shiny coat.
The pug. I like the sad face. SO CUTE. hehe.
I really do feel like buying a new puppy but i'm afraid that Tiger would get jealous becoz of this. Hmm... I'm kinda obsessed with CUTE DOGS right now, especially Shih Tzus. HELP!! Last night i even dreamt of having a beautiful Shih Tzu in my house! Hahaha.
Please send a brand new Shih Tzu puppy to my house, can?
The end is always the beginningBeen rotting and slacking at home for the past 5 days (including today). It was seriously good man. Didn't miss working at all. I guess i'm proud to say that i'm those type of person that won't and never get attached to the work i'm doing. The bottom line?
I HATE WORKING. Period.
Oh wait... maybe i'll love my work in future coz i've yet to find my passion in life. Teeheehee.
Been hooked on this book recently -
Carrie Pilby written by
Caren Lissner. Pretty fascinating i would say. And boy, i'm kinda hooked on the way the author writes the story. It's about a girl of high intelligence who struggles to make sense of the world as it relates to morality, relationships, sex and leaving her apartment. A well-written story i would say although i've yet to finish reading this beautiful novel.
"Reading Carrie Pilby is like finding twenty bucks on the sidewalk--it's the kind of surprise that makes you feel lucky all day. Caren Lissner will break your heart and twist your mind, often in the same sentence." Boy... i simply love novels like Carrie Pilby. ;)
My woman is coming back from KL this weekend. *beaming* I miss this woman so much. So much ok! And i'm so gonna grab that Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code novel from her once she's back in JB. muahaha! I need to read that book before the movie is showing in cinemas nationwide!! It seems that the movie will be showing in May. So yup, there's still plenty of time for me to digest it properly. Hehe. By the way, this woman i'm talking about is SanSan. *winks* Don't think she'll be free to even read my blog. Haha. Architecture is a killer!! =P
I still wanna watch I NOT STUPID TOO!! HELP!! Wei Ling, when?!?!?! I'm still waiting for you and Siew Wern you know... =P
Gosh, the weather changes pretty fast nowadays. It was scorching hot the last minute but it's already raining like cats and dogs at this very minute. o.O Yikes. Can't accompany my mum to pasar malam anymore. >.<
I have this strong urge to buy a new puppy. A CUTE LITTLE PUPPY where i can carry it around whenever i go. You know, in the fashion world nowadays, carrying a little puppy in your handbag or in your arms is like putting up a fashion statement. A strong one that is. Just think about Paris Hilton and her Chi Hua Hua, tinkerbell. Awww... Maybe i'm dreaming too much. But hey, seriously, i do wanna buy a new puppy, preferably a
Shih Tzu. They're so freaking cute man coz they have a very high and short nose which make them look so freaking proud!!
Thunder... gtg... to be continued...
Jusco Tebrau City can make me get high.Spent half of my day today in Jusco Tebrau City with JJ! (Jean and Jeff lar... hahaha) Jeff (Shen Jean's darling) drove her bro's car to pick me up from my house and headed to jusco tebrau city. Seriously, the journey going to Jusco Tebrau City was just PLAIN SCARY! Thinking of it can really send shivers down my spine. That scary. Get the picture?
Jeff, try to drive slower next time... life is precious k. =P
The moment i stepped into Jusco Tebrau City, i was smiling like a fool all the time. I dunno why. Shen Jean noticed me smiling. So funny lar. Hahaha. It's quite true that Jusco Tebrau City can make me happy. Quite pathetic huh? Hehe. I dun care. I just love that place coz it's new and posh and clean and nice!! I just gotta save up MORE money, that's all...
Din manage to watch 'I NOT STUPID TOO' at Tebrau City today, instead we watched
'Date Movie'. It was a really crappy and super-funny-and-super-lame movie. It's like a combination of Mr and Mrs Smith, Meet The Fockers, How to lose a guy in 10 days, and Legally Blonde.
Super hilarious. Super lame. Super funny. We laughed our heads off in the cinema. Speaking about the cinema, it was freezing cold.... *brrrrr...* Gotta bring a sweater the next time i watch a movie there. And they have this MEGASCREEN in the 1st movie theatre man!! 3 of us went in for a peek and boy... it was really GIGANTIC. This special MEGASCREEN movie theatre is the VERY FIRST in Malaysia and it seems that they only show those blockbusters on this specially made MEGASCREEN. I can't wait to watch a good movie on their MEGASCREEN man. Any takers?
On a totally irrelevant note, my mum dyed my hair
BLACK a few days ago coz she said she can't stand my hair colour which was brown. Quite sad. There goes my brown coloured hair. Sigh... Anyway, i look so young once again, like a high school girl. LOL.
While i was waiting for my hair to absorb the colour...
After i washed my hair... Okay, i know i look seriously mad here... like one mad woman rite?
TA DAH!!!!! Black hair again!!
My whole family said i look good in black hair. So what do you think?
Bye Bye Brown Hair!! =(
