Lucky? or unlucky?

For those who knows me well enough, prolly knows that my car is nearly 14 years of age by now…
Yeaps..sadly, I’m not one of those super-lucky-ppl that gets a new car from their parents when they started working…
Thankfully, I’m also not one whom needs to take our ever-so-reliable LRT to work. Psstt..taking the LRT is one way where you can sleep standing up…oh wait..nono..u may even faint standing up!
Yeaps! the crowd..they just sardined you during peak hours…that even if you fainted on your way to work, no one would notice…cuz you are still standing where you were 9283743264 minutes ago. YEs! It does take that long to reach your destination (due to some “very considerate” ppl that would just hold the door from closing)…
oppsss…sidetracked..

Anyway, back to the point…I had decided to be nice, and hence, picked my granny to get some things, and then over to my place during my lunch break so that she can go out with my mom later. With that, I obviously had lunch at home….
And just when I was about to leave for my client’s place again….the car refused to start…
Me: o.O okok…this happens before..it’s normal…start a few more times, and it’ll move…
*Turns the key again* The engine was making some noise, obviously working very hard to start…and failed..
Me: =.= one more time
*Turns the key*…..failed
After numerous tries and 15 mins later…the engine just stop making any sort of noise at all!!
Me: o.O Oi.. Oi… wake up…
*Turns the key* All I can hear? *Bzzz *….
Me: =.=” I give up..

Hence, I called a cab..to go back to work.. >.<
While waiting for the cab
Grandma: Eh, fun..so lucky ar u! Your car die also die in front of your house
Me: o.O Eh eh..my car died..and you called that lucky?
Grandma: But of all the places to die..at least it saved you a lil trouble, towing the car and all..
Me: EErrrr..well, if you wanna put it THAT way…

Also called my uncle…to come and have a look…

At 1700 hours, *phone rings*
Me: Hello uncle, so, what’s wrong with the car?
Uncle: Eh…I come only, it starts at the first try wor..
Me: o.O *Cis you car! Like that ler now?!* Errr….nola…I’m sure there’s some prob. It seems to have the prob to start up when the engine is still hot…
Uncle: err…okok..I see what I can do.

At 1730 hours
Uncle: Eh fun, I changed the “I-cant-remember-what” and “fill-in-the-blanks”..Should be ok now.. You test first. If still got problem..call me again
Me: Okok…Thanx..Sigh…

Now all I need is someone to fetch me from work. Called my aunt.
She came at 1845 hours, and since I’m not the driver, I just need to adhere to her timing (Beggars can’t be choosers)…and wahla! I left work really early today! *well, early for me, k?*
My aunt also thinks I’m super lucky to have the car died in front of my house
Me: >.<

Went home, and tried on the car again. No problem! Woohoo! Let’s hope this is still applicable tomorrow…

Conclusion: I know it’s bout time to change my car now, as advised by many….But well, I actually feel pretty good with the car… *Sigh*

Body ache

My body is aching now…after my first gym session yesterday…
that shows how unfit I was…nono..I am..
@!!#$%#&!

Can’t think of what else to write
Bye!

Going cuckoo?!

I really reckon I’m going out of my mind…
This year alone….I’ve done weird things that even I couldn’t comprehend..Yes..it’s THAT bad!
Perhaps my life is just soooooo bored that it makes me do weird things to spice it up a lil…
And I blame it on my work..lol..(no where/one else to blame)
Seriously, I have never been so random before…till I start work, that is…must be the audit effect…tsk tsk *shakes fist*

Lets see:
1 year ago
Suzen: Funny! I’m Fat
Me: No, you’re not…
Suzen: I am…I’ve grown fatter since I started work..
Me: No…Can’t tell also..
Suzen: Yes!! HOWWWWWW????
Me: Dunno wor…

6 months ago:
Suzen: I’m fat fat!
Me: Where got??!!
Suzen: Got!! My stomach is flabby now…and it’s like 3 fold!
Me: Bullcrap la u!
Suzen: Lets go exercise…
Me: Gym?
Suzen: Yes, lets go gym..
Me: >.<

3 days back…(1 of the comments in my previous posts)
– ivy – said…
spot the lie ar.. hmmm the genting one is true, cycling.. erm.. u dun like sports, but cycling u can sit down.. so ok la, take it as true..

Ok..so what happened? I joined the gym.. o.O
Yes..Sometimes, I surprise myself even…and I still have no idea how that happened…let’s see…
Monday (09/07/2007)
I was early…first day at my new client’s place…traffic was better than expected..hence I was at my client’s slightly before 0830… And since I couldn’t reach my senior, I had no idea whom should I be seeing or where should I head to…
I head back to ground floor…The building was relatively empty..It’s still very very new..
Then I saw the gym there…new and just opened..peeked inside..it looks really nice…and it has quite a few facilities…with a swimming pool! I missed swimming…
At night:
Me: Eh zen, let’s go gym..the one I saw today..very nice
Suzen: huh? so random..
Me: Yeah…but it’s really nice..with plenty of facilities
Suzen: Where’s that?
Me: Near my place. Seksyen 14.
Suzen: Where is that sia?
Me: …..
Suzen: How much?
Me: Dunno..didn’t check out the price also..if you interested, I go check out the price, then let you know, we go together
Suzen: yayaya. then I can stay with you
Me: Haha..okok

Tuesday (10/07/2007)
Went in to get the price list from them..but turned out..I was given a lil tour (which was pretty nice, really) and a very very detailed information on what’s being offered by them…the next thing I know…I signed up (=.=)”
What’s worse? Suzen ffked me…*Sigh*
I can’t believe this myself…. Crap…I just joined gym?!?!

Conclusion: Truth is…I’m un-fit, I’m unwell, and I have minimal energy..I’m almost always tired..Sometimes I could just feel my body protesting against me being such a bum.
And my dad just told me that I have the most unhealthy lifestyle..hiding inside my room, staring at the comp the whole day…
So, I’m determined to change that..Let’s hope this may be a good start to better things ahead.. Atm…I’m looking for friends who are interested to do this together…any takers?
\(^o^)/

p/s: Would also like to take this opportunity to apologize to all that was being disturbed by the call…You guys know what I mean…

Of new Offices

My fourth client for the year. And I’ve just realised…out of my 4 clients for the year, 3 of them moved to new office(s)! Yes..I think I should go buy lotto now…I mean…it;s like..all my clients just moved? How likely is that?!
So, yeah…most of my clients’ place are really decent..since they are all new..
My current client has just moved over…in June ’07.. And I’m sooo happy for them!

Why? lol..cuz their new office is soooo much nearer to my house! Approx 10 mins drive.. Means I get to sleep more without having to be at work late! Woohoo!
The place looks pretty cool, but we do not get audit room tho.. >.<
We sit with the rest…given a cubicle.. lol..not that I’m complaining…cuz the cubicle’s real big…

And geez! I’m soooo jealous!
They even have a pool table in the office!! How cool is that?!! And what do WE get after the move from Wisma Sime Darby to KL Sentral?
We are getting bathrooms, with hot showers…. =.=” How sad can this get? It’s soo obvious they are accountants….the facilities they give…is because and just because they want us to stay overnight working our heads off, and then we can clean up and work again the next day…without needing to even head home! *tsk tsk*

Things are going great at the moment! I’ve been given a good section, good for learning…except that I stared at my working paper, and then the client’s workings, and then at mine…and then back at client’s workings…after 30 mins…I’m still staring…and I’m still as lost o.O hahahahahahaha! I love this feeling!
For the past year…all I ever did..was stare at the working paper *yawn*, stare at the client’s workings *more yawn* and then start working…
Yes, I’d rather be lost than bored…(pfftt..I’m weird, bite me!)

And in that same building, is the biggest gym in SEA! Complete with sauna, pool, etc etc etc…And it looks soo cool…maybe I SHOULD consider going to gym… just to look cool! (^o^)V Wheeeee! Now all I need is a friend to go with me…and ($_$) Gosh! I’m broke! Alright! I shall now go think of a way to get rich quick! Like..filthy rich! So rich that I can buy a yacht, and a Ferrari, and an island, and a private jet…and yes, Suzen, so rich that I can boil soup by burning RM notes..

Ok..getting too random here. Bye (>”)> <(“<) *hugs everyone*

We are the champions, my friend…

I’ve been on course for the past one week…
And although courses can be pretty exhausting, they can be pretty fun too!

We were divided into groups (By tables)…6 groups in total
Me, Shane, Paik Yee and Sue Ling were in the same group…and named ourselves to be 5.30
The reason?
One of our expectations from the course: To be able to go home at 5.30 everyday (>..>)”

Nonetheless, it feels good to be the winning team…(my first time winning with the team in courses k…) teehehehe

A new beginning

I have just came into realization that despite the crazy workload and long hours, I may have had made myself comfortable with where I was. (Although it’s nothing comfortable really). I may have fallen for the comfort zone trap.

With the news of the pull-out from my current recurring engagement, I am set for a journey into the unknown. The unknown can be scary. And people, by default, do not fancy change. It puts them at their most vulnerable state, filled with uncertainties. And me, like most, am also a lil afraid of what lies ahead, for my once cleared road has suddenly blurred, my plans, crumbled and messed up.

A friend once told me: It is only when you step into the unknown, that you discover you can fly.

Perhaps this change would bring a breath of freshness. Perhaps it would be a new beginning after an end.
Whatever it is, I am looking forward to take a step forward, to get out of my comfort zone, and challenge my boundaries once more.
\(^o^)/

A day of Mixed feelings

It’s July 5th, 2007, 2230 hours.
For some reasons, I am feeling extremely tired physically.
I really wanted to head for the bed, but today, marked a change in my life…not a substantial change, but enough to make a difference to me..

I have been having courses this week…We get loads of courses during the off peak period..
The beauty of it…We get to take time off work, and go home early! Yay!
The not-so-beautiful part? We all need to be there at 0830 sharp! or else… =.=”
And yes, we are just fed with information and more information from 0830 to 1730… o.O
But it can be really fun…catching up with friends, batchmates….and we get really good food during the morning and evening tea break! \(^o^)/

Anyway, as I was in the middle of my course today, a Senior Manager smsed me. It caught me by surprise, simply because he’s not the type that would sms his Associates over tiny matter. He requested that I see him whenever I could. (I actually wondered if I did anything wrong when I was under him the last time).
By lunch, I sorta found out the reason…but it wasn’t from him. The news came from another colleague of mine, who happened to be in the same team as I was in the job. I have been pulled out of that job, for good. I was a lil stunned, for I have been in the job for quite a bit and recurring. Yet, I couldn’t help but feel really relieved to hear that. It was a hectic job, with long hours, and the clients aren’t the nicest of the lot.
Nonetheless, since my SM requested to see me, it’s only polite that I see him still.
When he delivered the news to me for the second time in the same day, it was nothing new. But the way he puts it, I couldn’t help but felt a lil sad..
He was trying his very best to tell me that I am out not cuz I’m incapable, but rather, due to other internal issues. Had a lil talk with him, before I excused myself as I needed to head back to continue my course.

As I stood up, prepared to walk away from his seat after the discussion, I said Thank You, smiled and walked off.
The Thank You was not out of courtesy, the smile was not to just be polite…it was sincerely from deep down of my heart. For I finally felt someone cared.

Follow your heart, or listen to your mind?

Some gets it good…These people are the people that excel in what they enjoy doing.
But truth is, not everyone falls into that category. Some of us do not live in such a perfect world.
We would have to make choices…choosing between what we enjoy doing and what we do best.

Some would choose to do what they love, even when they aren’t up to the standard to do it.
These people are aware that they are may never reach the top, in whatever they are doing, yet continued to pursue their dreams in their own way
Others, would be more rational and choose the route which is more stable…by doing what they do best.

Question is: Would the first bunch of people who pursued their dreams still be happy a few years down the road, knowing full well their career advancement would be handicapped by the fact that they really aren’t that good in whatever they are doing? Or perhaps, for having such passion, such determination, these would prevail over their handicap?
What about those who followed their minds, and chose the easier way out of doing what they do best? But is it really easier? Few years down, would they still be doing so well, when they have no interest in it? When they do not have a heart, passion, or even care about what they are doing anymore? Would they not grow tired of being someone they are not?
For every step they are taking, they are a step nearer to their goal, to their destination. They know very well that they would reach where they are heading, for they are capable of reaching there. But when for every step they are taking towards their goal, they are a step further from what brings them happiness, is that step worth taking? Is turning back ever an option?

When either route you take, you are fighting a losing battle…How would you choose?
