Officially, new responsibilities 28 March, 2009
Posted by wynd of nobody in Uncategorized.5 comments
This is a lil weird, but i am participating in the earth hour by blogging in the dark? It is kinda weird. But as per normal, i just continue on blogging here because i wanna spend as much time as i can in front of my own toy comp. Hehehe. Alright to to move into topic.
Well, i have just made a progression at my work place (a so called higher rank) with a lil extra perks together with it. Of course there were quite a number of people who didnt get the progression/promotion due to some serious (undisclosed) issues~! It is of course insane to not get promoted for some of the people working which really angered a whole lot of people prompting a dark and sour face on many. Well, it was well deserved progression for me as i had put in alot of fucking effort in the pass 6 months. Well it certainly paid off for sure. I cant be happier with what i am getting now, as it is higher than what i had anticipated. This certainly calls for a celebration, but unfortunately i dun really know who to call out since i am busy this weekend with the CPA workshop. But its alright, i can celebrate on a slightly later date i suppose.
Of course with the current progession would mean that i would officially take on more responsibilities but as i would like to quote my colleague who joined in almost the same time, “we are working like the higher level staff but getting paid at the lower staff pay” (changes were made to avoid any unwanted incidents). As quoted, we are work on higher level work but are getting paid at a lower pay. Of course this doesnt really matter to me, as long as i have work to feed my mouth, i am happy and it is best that i dont screw it up big time like the other retarded colleague who is still fouling up people’s work.
Moving on, i am quite pleased by what i had found on the iPod Touch (“Touch”) and iPhone. Of course i am getting closer towards getting my hands on the Touch because most of the functions found on the iPhone are on the Touch which is good. The only known functions that are not on the Touch but is on the iPhone are the phone function of call and sms functions, GPRS, and camera. These three of which i can use far better devices that should be found on other phones. The Touch would be used as my personal PDA i suppose as it truly has alot of applications for that purpose~! It is truly calling me out to buy it. Of course i am listening to an advice to think it through before really making the purchase. This is the time i am still making a lil more research on the Touch and the applications that i would be installing to help me with my work i suppose.
But now i am thinking whether to get the 32GB, or the 16GB Touch. As i had received word from an ex-colleague about his own 16GB Touch, which he added to be more than sufficient for him. And i am using for work purposes and of course a few songs and of course a few shows. So i am thinking real hard, whether should i really get the Touch 32GB or 16GB? And of course i cant wait till the new 3.0 OS come out in June (or so i read). Now just thinking the purchase through and through first.
Well, thats about it for today, till next time. Ciaozuu~!
The life, the work, and not forgetting the money. 23 March, 2009

Damn it~! I had actually posted a post under this title already, but apparently it wasnt saved~! SOOOOO PISSED OFF~!!!
Anywayz, today a Sunday, i was suppose to be working in office, only to find out that there was a major blackout at my office area. Even restaurants cannot function, but luckily mamak was still able to prepare food as normal. Lucky them. But i ended up waiting for about 30 mins before heading off to Hartamas to visit Borneo Ink. There i chilled out with Simon and Eddy, and talking about Jason, and of course not forgetting the idiotic colleague. And apparently there is a person like that everywhere. In every different workplace there is bound to be a person similar to Jason, like my idiotic colleague. Chilling there with Eddy is really nice. Lepak lepak lepak~! It was all good.
Not forgetting since i was in the area, i had myself my favourite Tori Katsu Don~! From Sugimoto~! Was pretty good, except that the Udon soup lack some taste in it, i just dunno why, but the Tori Katsu Don was good~! Huahuahua~! After my good meal, i headed back to the office, only to find that the blackout was still affecting the area. So i decided to check it out. Fortunately the lift was working (i thought finally can do work), but as soon as i got to my workstation, nothing was working~! The electric only for the lift, and nothing else. I could not do my work at all~! Which was horribly annoying. So i headed home.
Of course made a call or two, and after which i headed to my bed for a nap. Was pretty tired, considering the time i slept on sat night or rather sunday morning. After that its just back to the computer only to find out i have my lower palm swollen (due to excessive use of the mouse/being on the computer for too long) which i knew i could not tell my mother or else i get slaughtered. As normal i was doing more and more research about the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Blackberry Bold. Came up with some very interesting findings of course. Naturally the Blackberry is definately super suited for the truly corporate line of work, while the iPhone was more of play than work. But both did serve for work purposes pretty well, only that Blackberry of course had the upper edge in terms of business purposes with the ability to do work while mobile (words, excel, powerpoint) made it clear that it will definately win against any other PDA phones as well as the iPhone (i had no specific use to do work on the run). So that did not appeal to me just yet.
Of course i had a try of the iPhone (Simon’s – Borneo Ink), and i must say, it was pretty smooth~! I like it quite well of course. Of course Simon told me to get an iPhone instead of a Touch, because there is the phone function together with it. Many has argued it that way as well. But for me i kinda want it to be a phone to be a phone (so dat it last longer), while i have a separate organiser (somewhat like a PDA and not a PDA phone). So it defeats the purpose of me getting an iPhone which cost RM2,900++ which is actually closer to RM3,000 for the 16GB as compared to the price of a 32GB iPod Touch which cost RM1,629. The applications definately could be used between both (most of them except for the phone functions as well as the GPRS functions) the iPhone and iPod Touch. And to my delight i found alot of free useful applications, which then means i would not be required to Jailbreak the iTouch~! NICE~!!!
So the pursue for a definitive answer regarding which one i would get, the iPhone, iTouch, Blackberry, SE Idou, and many others to come are still to be researched, compared, and finally attained~! WEEEEEE~!!!!
Going onto the next thing, i would like to point out that the reason why i was heading back to office to work on a Sunday was because i had the huge workload i received on the pass week. With the new requirement of maintaining or achieving a MINIMUM 90% chargeability, i find it harder and harder to pass each day~! Its definately taking a toll on the mind. And i definately cant give in now, as there are too much at stake i guess. But of course there are the normal ups and downs in office, which can be handled in due time. I just hope that the work environment would get better over the next few months. I need a long rest~! I want the Krabi trip i organised NOW~!!!
Now pointing out that life cant go on without money is definately true isnt it. Money makes everyone on earth go on~! I WANT MORE MONEY~!! I will stop here because i need some sleep and its getting pretty late. I need some good rest~! SLEEP SLEEP~! Till next time, ciaozuu~!
The trip, the work, the wants~! 15 March, 2009
Posted by wynd of nobody in Uncategorized.2 comments
I’ve been meaning to blog for awhile now with several thoughts in mind. Of course i think it is just the normal rants in life of course. But i had some good times along the way as well.
First off would be that finally, the trip that i was meaning to organise is finally done and completed, and i dont have to worry about it anymore~! What a total relief~! Actually it all happened sooooo fast. With an email received from the budget airline (Air Asia) regarding an offer, i just had to take a look. And of course there were super ober cheap flights to the original destination, but the flight times were absolutely ridiculous and insane~! So i saw an alternative destination that caught my eye, which was because of the various famous bloggers i read said they had a good time at the alternative destination i was currently eyeing. In that instance, i send out a text message to everyone who agreed to go for the original destination trip (Langkawi) at about 6.10 or 6.15 in the morning~! Hahaha, of course i made sure that everyone knows about it especially requesting those people to reply back to me that they had received the text message. Of course there were a few delinquents who refused to reply on the grounds that they were too busy to even go lunch or toilet breaks i suppose. By the end of the day, i was able to convince almost everyone to consider the alternative destination (Krabi) as our trip destination. By the second day, i was frantically calling and sending text messages to ensure that everyone is going to go, and of course that there were a few who had a change of mind/heart on that second day. And by the end of the second day, i finally booked the flight tickets and the hotels/resorts which we will be staying in.
With the trip in place, of course i had to fork out the money first as i would like to seal the deal first before the budget airlines decided to put in a huge mark up on the prices of the flight and hotel (which apparently happened towards to end of the booking period). And i had one of the trip members (who is always an organiser of events like lunches and so on and so forth) to organise a birthday lunch that weekend for me to collect my money. Of course the destination did change due to some unforeseen circumstances which of course lead to the place which i had in mind to have my lunch (Sugimoto – nice place to have gooooooooood japanese lunch meal). And of course with that in mind, the organiser helped organised that event.
On the third day, due to the odd number of people we had in this trip (initially), i had requested the last person to confirm to just book a flight and crash with another 2 girls whom i had already booked flight n hotel for. But of course the delinquent whom i spoke off earlier had a change of mind/heart which of course made me pretty pissed off. But of course i calmly told her that she can stay with the other girl and of course they have to book the flight and hotel themselves (i am mean that way). With that we finally have an even number of people for the trip. With 5 rooms and 10 people it was already a good trip planned.
Now at the birthday luncheon, of course those who are already going for the trip told others of the trip (among our own group of friends) and they were also interested. Of course after loads of persuading, another person joined the trip with us. And of course we had to perrsuade another person who booked the flight on a much later date. Luckily the flight fare did not change. Which was pretty good. Hahahahahaha.
Alright, so thats about it for the trip above. So now moving onto the luncheon. Of course i had my favourite Tori Katsu Don set~! Which another 3 others took the same set as myself. Which came with the Tori Katsu Don, and a bowl of Udon and a piece of Inari~! It was soooooo damn good i tell ya~! Of course we had alot of chatter going on. Fun fun times. After lunch, we head to Old Town Kopitiam to continue with our chatter as the restaurant was closing. Hahaha. Very nice and very fun~! I even had the opportunity to say hi and happy birthday to my former employers whom i had a trip to Singapore with about two months ago.
We had a good time chatting about work mostly and of course the annoying colleague of mine who is totally incompetant. As we chat we lost track of time, and by the time we were done it was almost 6. The lunch started at 12 in the afternoon and ended nearly at 6 in the evening. Truly a good time. Now everyone is looking forward to the trip especially the 12 participants of the trip. Weeeeeee.
I know i am sure making this post really long with words. And i am sure not many and very fond of reading tooooooo many words (if they are life me), but i dont really have any pictures to post anywayz~! So i just rant and rant in words and not pictures~!!!!
Now a piece of my life. Life has been mundane as usual, with the constant work and the continuous stress for chargeability, it is surely wearing me thin. I cant really say about my audit friends though, as it seems that they work even longer hours, but if that is the case, they dont have to worry as to whom their hours is to be charged to, unlike me whereby i am constantly searching and looking for some chargeable work to be charged to the client. Especially lately, chargeability issues has been a great problem for us especially those who are working in my industry would understand, in this economic period, we have to put in even more effort to pull through.
Almost every night after work, despite my greatest effort, i am sooo tired to have some enjoyment on my PC. So so soooooo tired, my eyes is reluctant to stay open. So i give up and head to bed. As for office this past week, has been a lil laxed, since there isnt much work to go around. I am working extra time to achieve my chargeability for the week and of course it does wears the soul thin. With three staff having nothing to do nearly the entire day, it would be a waste of man power. But worry not, as more work will come in due time. Alrighty then, since i didnt have to work over on this weekend, i am heading to another detox session due to the ineffectiveness of the last session which left me with a whole bunch of air in my stomach, leading to me almost vomiting on several occasions (the vomit reached the back of my throat, only to be swallowed down).
Now moving on, after seeing that the iPhone is being officially launched in Malaysia, it made me wanted an Apple product sooooo badly. And as i was looking around online, the iPod Touch caught my eye. Ohhhh my, it is sooo dam nice~! And it can even act as a phone, using wifi of course. But i was thinking of using it as my organiser, since i dont really have an organiser (those big fat ones that most executive carry with them) and neither do i have a PDA phone or Blackberry or iPhone. It looks damn good and damn nice to use~! The fluid movement and the fluid controls made me crave it even more. Of course they come in 3 different storage spaces. The 8GB, the 16GB, and finally the one i am eyeing on the 32GB~! Of course the iPhone maximum is 16GB, which acts as a phone as well, and has a camera with it. But i am just eyeing that at the moment, as there is the Sony Ericsson Idou, which is still not out yet. Now that is a powerful device (based on the website’s illustration of it). So for now i shall hold on and continue to salivate on the 32GB iPod Touch and the Sony Ericsson Idou~!
Alrighty, i have put it alot of words into this post, so it is time for me to end it and say ciaozuu to everyone who reads my shit~! Thank you~!
