Hectic New Job


Nearly 2 months since I started working with HDPM. What HDPM stands for? Go find it out. It's inconvenient for me to reveal the full name here. Prohibited!

Anyway, I find myself slowly adapting to the company's environment, culture, policies and procedures. It's really different compared to the audit firm I worked with during practical training. Security and confidentiality are top priority. Not used to follow so many tight rules and regulations. Very tiring at times. But as the proverb says, "When you are in Rome, do like what the Romans do". Fortunately, the managers and fellow colleagues are friendly and helpful. Glad to know them all.

My department consists of more than 130 staff, divided into 3 major categories and 8 operating teams. Seems like I've gone back to my school days where the Chinese is the minority. I speak in Malay and English since I joined this organisation. There are only 8 other Chinese staff who I'm still not close with. Pathetic eh? Not a bad factor though.

There's so much to learn. You just can't claim yourself as an expert even after many years of working experience. Changes to policies and procedures happen everyday. Cascades will be delivered to the mail box. It's our own responsibility to get ourselves updated. Well, one of the disadvantages working in the banking line. Oppsss... Looks like I've drop you guys a hint.

*wink wink*

Did I ever mention bout my abnormal working hours? Mine is from 3pm to 12am. Wondering why? I'm serving UK clients. I gotta follow UK working hours and I gotta brush up my English. Duh! One thing I like bout it, I fear of no massive jam and I can speed on the road.

Staff is not allowed to bring in any electronic device into the processing floor. So, I wasn't able to take photos as I wish to. Participated in a number of activities in these 2 months - Inductions, Birthday Bash, Netball. Too bad, the photos taken by the Human Resource team are kept inside the internal drive. No one can possess them in private.

Will post the few photos I've taken recently. Hope there are more to come soon...

Catching Up


Hangout with my ever close gang - Luke, Kok Loong and Shi Min last Friday. 3 persons weren't able to join us. Jia Lun and Wey Shin are still in the UK undergoing their 3 months top up degree program. Joo Sim is currently working in Penang.

To begin with, we had lunch in Sushi Zanmai, The Gardens before moving to Midvalley for our movie session. Oh yeah, I wonder how many of you know bout this... Kok Loong and Shi Min are now an item!

*hoo haa hoo haa*


Congrats to both of them. I was super shocked the night before when I saw their relationship status in Facebook. I thought it's a prank. OMG... How come I didn't know this earlier? Big bang discovery. These people are good at keeping secret eh? Since there were only 4 of us, Luke and I on the other side took a photo of ourselves too.


Okay, I know what you guys wanna comment bout. I received lots of questions whether we are a newly made couple as well. The answer is a big NO. We juz so happened to wear the same colour tops. Why? Coincidence is a crime? LOL...

Enough with clarifications. Let's move on to food.

Luke's Unadon

My Nuki Saba

The couple's sushi

It was a pleasant lunch though I didn't really fancy the food I ordered. Gotta appreciate every minute we spent together as we won't be able to hangout so frequently after this.

A group photo at the end of lunch

This world is big yet so small. Yes... We ran into Sean at the same restaurant. Now you see how many coincidences we had in a day!

All in white

Seriously, I found myself feeling terribly awkward the whole time. We no longer walk together in a bunch as before. Luke and I walked ahead, leaving the couple behind having their own sweet time. Hmm...

Movie of the day was Knight and Day. Luke's choice. Great movie. Lots of action, humour and you also get the chance to enjoy seeing the good looking Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz for 2 hours.


But the 1st thing we did when we reached GSC was posing with the Toy Story 3 poster.

Puzzled Woody lost his right arm

The culprits!

Kok Loong and Shi Min left earlier as they had another plan later in the evening. So, Luke and I went for dinner at Carl's Jr while waiting for our next show.

Save the best for last. Toy Story 3, everyone's favourite childhood animation is superb. Most touching compared to the 2 previous ones. I left the cinema with teary eyes. A must watch movie for June.

Lining up next for July:
Back Up Plan
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
Salt

Exam Silly


I've been bugged by exam for nearly 2 months. Those days were so hard to live through. No fun at all! Went through the same routine everyday. Besides 2 meals a day, toilet business, 3 episodes of drama and 6 hours sleep, I spent most of my time munching on books and notes and whatsoever study materials. So dull right?

Well, this 4 lettered word brought the most chaos. The tremendous tense and heart-weakening moments. I took the remaining 3 papers - P3, P6 and P7 last month. So wish to pass all and I'll never see those papers ever again. But I doubt it. No wonder students always say June sitting is a killer.

It's hard to describe how saddening I was after the 1st paper. OMG... Totally unpredictable questions. Start sweating once I flipped open and read the 1st question. Hands trembled non-stop like nobody's business. Oh boy! I never experience such a thing during last December sitting.


As usual, I'm putting in my least expectation to avoid huge disappointment at the end of August. That's when ACCA results will be released and we'll all see how good or bad we fare. Either we cheer or we cry out loud!

Internal resits had juz over last week. Absorbing what I've read for P1 and P3 is not easy. Brain went rusty after half a year of rest on those subjects. Burnt the midnight oil for 2 weeks at McDonald's to memorise business models and all sorts of theories.

*sigh*


Fortunately, I'm still alive. Still afford to laugh. Still afford to smile. Wahahahaha...

Not gonna think too much for the meantime. Better look forward to my new job. Time to move into the next stage of life.

Bro In His 20s


Celebrated bro's 20th birthday 2 weeks ago. Dinner in TGIF. At last, we broke the birthday in Wong Kok Char Chan Teng chain. LOL...

It was an unplanned celebration though. Since we were around the Pavilion area, we might as well kill 2 birds with one stone. Without nice clothing and makeup, we walked into TGIF with t-shirts, shorts and slippers. Only bro was in his formal wear as he juz finished work.

Ordered 2 different set meals that comes with an appetizer and main course each.

4 persons portion

(Clockwise from top left): Clam chowder, Shanghai chicken salad, Boneless wings, South adobo chicken

The food was awesome. I'm in love with the salad. Unique taste.

The happy couple

Sleepy & pale looking sis

Bro had his free piece of chocolate mousse cake too. Looked fairly nicer than mine with a strawberry on it but the texture was horribly dry. Eww...

Birthday boy

Not-so-fresh cake

3 big pandas. Haha...

End our night with a horror movie. Bloody intense. The way he kills is so cruel. I was extremely frightened by its ending. Damn.


Had nightmares for the 2 following nights. Freddy Krueger, the bastard!

Gaga-fied in Genting


It's been more or less a month since my last post. I'm really slacking in updating my blog eh? Well, nothing much happened lately and I have no enthusiasm to write up something. Juz received the photos taken in Genting from Shanny bout 2 weeks ago. We went for a day trip after my internal exam back in April.

Had lunch at Four Season's Restaurant in Wangsa Maju before driving up to Genting.

The food is only so-so...

Reached Genting almost in the mid-afternoon. Weather was superb, slightly cloudy. Camera was taken out from the bag and we began with what we are good at most.

CAMWHORE

You get!!!


Basically, our trip was all bout photo shooting and gathering at Starbucks. You know right? Most students' hobby during past times. Hahahaha...

Yeah... We love it!

Guess we are a lil too "old" to play at the theme park, so hanging around wouldn't do any harm. Of course we didn't juz sit and watched people play. We planned our own game.

Sounds so wrong? O.O


Found this cute caterpillar at the theme park exit. Long enough to measure the height of a kid. I purposely leaned against it to show that I'm obviously TALLER!


We walked from one hotel to another. Went into Highland Hotel casino. Not as impressive as I thought. Will visit One World Hotel casino next time. Heard it's way better.


Genting trip is never complete without jumping actions. A-must-to-follow trend.

Jump so high that we could touch the sky

Starbucks drinks at the end of a tiring day was the best treat ever. Java Chip, Mocha Latte, Chocolate Chip... You name it!


Picture of the day goes to...

*tadaa tadaaaaa*

Totally Gaga-fied

There are more photos. Hundreds of them. Outrageous ones!

But only for "private view". Ngek ngek...

April Baby


Sze Yi's birthday also falls in April. 16 days after mine.

We went to the same place for dinner. How boring! Pavilion is really lacked of affordable restaurants. What to do? Oh never mind... What we care is the food and ambiance.


Ordered something different this round. Tried their cheese baked rice. Eww... Taste very weird. I wonder if it's something to do with the cheese. I prefer Kim Gary's.


Had the giant birthday milk tea for free again. Twice in a month. LOL...

Couple in red

Didn't take many photos coz the mood wasn't there. I finished my finals in the morning. Darn tired the whole day. I looked like a big panda lost on the street.


Though I was only left with 10% energy, I still enjoyed myself. I talked lesser than usual though. Kinda quiet throughout the night.


Amount spent on dinner... RM50.05. Nice figure!


No point going to Pavilion if it's not for a movie. We watched Date Night.

The couple in the show is hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at their dirty jokes. Gosh...

Virgina = Face???
