I am so dreading to blog right now cos I've not been updating for quite a while and I have a lot to say about them. Well, here goes nothing...

My last day in SSC
It was raining and I came to work in the afternoon to clear my half day leave. One thing for sure. I am God damn glad I had packed my stuff slowly for the past few days. I was very satisfied with the state I left my workstation for the next person to take over. Its not 100% clean, but its good enough a condition for a human to 'live' there.

Not many peeps knew 22nd March 2006 is my last day of work so by going around the office with a camera sure do give them a shock. It beats me telling them myself. I mean, why should I advertise my last day? If you wanna know, you should have asked me personally, right?

Anyway took some pictures, unfortunately a lot of people were not in the office that day, so too bad, it rained heavily, bade farewells and off I went with my ex-boss and ex-supervisor to a place unknown to me. He wanted to give us both a treat for his promotion and our resignation and he brought us to his brother's pub near Marine Parade/East Coast. Nice place, forgot the name, delicious food and yes, we drank.

Its a good think he made me drink. I can say whatever I want without feeling the guilt or embarassment. I had to admit but I was having a good time with him. Not gonna miss it though...

1st day of unemployment
I did not wake up late. Its like my body had been permanently set to wake up at a certain time. I could go back to sleep but I had an appointment with Haqiim. We met at Coffee Bean, Boat Quay in the afternoon and dear sir asked me a very STOOPID question.

Haqiim: Just the two of us?
Fida: How many others do you know is not working right now?

DOH!

The long awaited event
On friday we had arranged for a very important person to attend a very "grand" party organised by a couple of us to celebrate the last few moments before she gets deflowered! Yup, its Salyza's bachelorette party @ Merchant Court Hotel/MOS. Apologies for lack of photos thanks to Fidzah who's so God damn slow and also my apologies for lack of details cos we had a pact not to kiss and tell ;P I will probably post up some selected, harmless photos here but not now.

The day after...
Went to one of my favourite pub, 1 Nite Stand to enjoy good music, good crowd and awesome booze. Just a simple drinking session for no specific reason. Right at this point I am very aware there's too much blood in my alcohol system, yeah...

The 1st day of my new job
It was alright, my workstation is quite messy, although pretty much bare. The colleagues are alright too. The best part of the job was to know that everybody sort of need to have their MSN activated for easy communication. We use it even though the person we're communicating to is sitting in the same office as you. Cool ain't it?

Work load is pretty much bearable and I'm yet to receive more responsibilities from the manager. I'm slowly reorganising things around my desk and of course the work itself since I am the new girl who has to start something afresh here with a new system implemented by the manager recently.

I feel really good about this place, although I am still in search of a smoking partner, otherwise, everything else is alright! They told me in Aug/Sep this year, the whole company will be having a retreat but no idea where. Can't wait!

Before I pen off...
Will update you more about my work and of course hoping that somebody will not take their own sweet time with the photos! Till then, muacks!

This entry I'm dedicating to Randy Rhoads.


Dec 6, 1956 - Mar 19, 1982


Let me tell you more about this man. He's a very talented guitarist and pass through audition in 1979 to be part of the Ozzy clan. He finished a short life at the age of 25 when the plane he rode crashed.

Here's a clip of a talented young girl, Chelsea Constable, attempting the song at a tender age of 10. I think she's like 16 or 18 now and I found another clip of her playing a Van Halen number here. Is she a child prodigy or what? R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Watch this!



The song he will be remembered by is one titled "Dee". This song is very special to me. Why? Hehe... Fahmy played this song for me years back during our courtship days over the phone. I fell in love with him almost instantly! Eventually he forgot the tabs and I've been pestering him since to start learning again. You are SO gonna hear this song on our wedding day... hehe!

If you're interested to attempt the song, click here for the tabs.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhh!!!!

New layout, ma babies! Watcha think? Cute? Yeah... I thought so. This is the best I could come up with. No fear, I hope to make a better one before middle of this year... till then, just bear with this one.

Ironically I am very busy at work at the moment. I have 1 week left exactly before I step out of this GODDAMNSHITHOLE for good and I have not even packed yet. Why am I so busy? Hmm... somebody doesn't wanna lend a helping hand. Somebody panicked that I'm leaving and there'll be no one else to push her work to

I tried throwing away rubbish I've collected after 6 years of being here and I had to stop half way. Its just too overwhelming (or could be that I'm just too god damn lazy, go figure). I don't think I am able to clear my desk at all. There's definitely more work stuff than personal one. Of course I am planning to dump whatever shit that will not fit in my big box/bag (can't decide on which yet).

I caught Date Movie last night and I'll give it 7/10. Could be better but as usual, you have to be ok with this kind of parody-movie in order to appreaciate it. Oh yes, SCARY MOVIE 4 is coming! And so is X-Men 3!

Oh photo update...


Till then... wish me luck packing...

Its so annoying when people learnt about your departure news and all they could say is...

"Have you got a replacement? I want to recommend (fill in name from wherever) lah..."
I wish I could reject them all! Why can't I be involved in the selection process? I know the requirements way better than anyone here!

"Where are you going... (plus many other queries that leads to hinting for more answers"
Since when have SSC staff tell anyone where they will be running to? That doesn't make me any special. I lost count how many times I lied about where I'm going and what kind of organisation am I joining. Hehe... so bad of me ;P

"Eh how's your workload there? Easy or not? Are the people nice? I thought of transferring to your side..."
Yes, my workload is close to none and the people here are so super fantastic that I have to hunt for a new job. Its like a bed of roses, sugar & spice & everything nice... go figure

I've got less than 2 weeks. Leaving this place for good and with a clear mind and conscience. I've gotta start packing boy!

Also I would like to congratulate a certain somebody whom shall be unnamed until he/she's ready to make the revelation on the successful job hunt.

Don't cry k, you're fated to achieve your ambition.

Its been a while since I've updated my photos... so here it goes!

My fingers suddenly weighed a tonne when I wanna type this entry. I don't even know how to start and I don't even know what to say actually. Some of you may have already heard the news from someone who's a someone friend ex ecolleague (whatever)... I think its time I announce it myself.

Yesterday was the day... I finally decided to tell them I had enough and ask them to let me go. I had a very long chat with the supervisor who had somehow informed the deputy director about my sudden decision. She kept pushing the letter back to me hoping I would change my mind. It kinda puzzled me why she even bothered when she herself is leaving. As sickening it is going to sound, she said that if I insisted on leaving, it wouldn't look good on the boss. She even said that she felt guilty when she tendered her resignation and she's thinking I would feel the same way.

First of all, I don't care squat about the impact I will cause in the organisation if I leave. Secondly, I really need to get out of that place cos' I have already found a job and they need me there a.s.a.p. I think the other party is kind enough to wait for me this long. Thirdly I am surprise that this news of mine came to a shock for many. Apparently I have not been giving enough hints that I am not happy in SSC.

I can't go on right now... getting a lil' emo here! This is just too surreal for me to handle...

... of my dad and I remembered we're in a Genting-Highland-like location and he owns a property there. We went to the biggest shopping mall there and he lets me buy anything. All I remembered at that moment was to go look for Dunkin' Donuts! I couldn't find any after going round the whole place and I settled on some no brand donuts as in my dad's on words "they all taste the same".

I heard my phone ring... I woke up... its my dad!

He called asking if I wanna go Johor Bahru with him tomorrow and I said YES!

[EDITED]
He called to cancel the trip... BOO HOO HOO!!!!!

I wanted to top up my ezLink card this evening and I was queueing like any other civilised people. I was next and there's a nerdy looking chinese lady sighing away behind me. An old couple were topping up theirs and God knows if its their first time cos they couldn't do it right for millions of time. I stepped up and realised they didn't quite comprehend what I was saying, I asked the lady behind me nicely to help explain what they were doing wrong.

Frustrated, she cut me and showed the old lady how to do it the right way by topping up HER card! Once she's done, she showed the receipt to the old lady in a manner like "See! Its easy." and left! The old couple looked at me in disbelieve ~ yeah like its my fault?

I stepped up to them and I showed her step by step how to do it. Turns out her problem is that she punched her pin number a tad too fast and the system couldn't catch up! Repeated the process like 3 times turns out her ATM card's the one giving her the problem.

She wanted to try another time so I SHOWED her again before she finally gave up! You should hear the soft bickering behind me. I wasn't too sure if they were referring to me or the old couple or the lady WHO CUT MY QUEUE! Grrr.....

I was so pissed... so pissed... I bumped into this guy I used to have a crush on!

What a day... what a day!
