What A Bliss..

My housemate buzzed me at work today via MSN. She seldom did so as she knows that I am starting at a new company so it must be something big. Yeah! She got a job interview tomorrow at a MNC company in Cyberjaya!

A few of my ex-colleagues had joined the company in the last few months. The company provides good benefit that includes catered-lunch, free parking, transport allowance and many more.

The only cons is the company is too far away from our home. Anyway, I encouraged her to try to go for the interview or she might regret rejecting the interview in the future. What’s more tomorrow is a public holiday!
Good luck to her!

One thing that is very different in my current new company is flexibility. Not everyone comes to the office everyday. Those that comes, doesn’t come from 9.30am to 6.30pm like I did.

They come at odd hours, 10.30am or 12pm or even 2pm. I don’t know what time they go back. When they don’t come, I don’t know whether they are on leave or MC or simply work from home.

Probably it is the flexibility and everyone is trustable for their accountability.

For me? I still prefer to come at working hour or perhaps work from home.

I don’t know when I started to grow close with one of the cleaner in my office and we called her ‘kakak’. She is rather nice to us and we offer her some food when we are having our teatime. So she is like a friend to us.

I told her that I am resigning and she was aware of my last day. So, I went around taking pictures on my last day but I didn’t see her in the pantry, the place she always was! I was a little disappointed as I never took picture with her below.

I chatted with one of my colleague today and she told me that kakak hide herself on my last day! She said she would cry to see me leave so she didn’t want to meet me!Aiks.. that is so strange but she said she can’t bear to see those she likes leaving.

All the best to her! And to me too!

What would I miss in my current company? I think the thing that I would miss most is the environment and colleagues! I have many colleagues here and I got along well with quite a number of them! I have developed good friendship with some and it would be sad to leave them behind. Another would be the great working environment here with fast pc, free flow of drinks, office location, many events and benefit!

Well, in life, when we gain something, we would lose something! A basic principle that WL taught me many years ago! I shall look forward for my new life and cherish it!

I had my first farewell lunch at Nando’s with my department-mates today in this company. I remembered when I was leaving for the past 2 companies, I hardly have anyone farewell for me as the two are small companies.

My first company left barely few colleagues and I am the last one to leave in my second company! Can you believe that! Such a sad situation eh? Anyway, I have at least 3 farewell lunches here. Or maybe more to come!

I heard of a few other colleagues that are resigning lately! Four of them are going to a company in Cyberjaya with very good benefits, shorter working hours, free lunch and even parking & transport allowance! Gee.. I am tempted too but the thing is my house a little too far from the company! Maybe when I can drive well and have my car back, I could consider the company!

But meanwhile, maybe not all the grass over is greener! I need to stay more positive and loyal?

All the managers are very busy recently with the new implementation of job house. They need to meet every single subordinate one by one to explain and discuss about their new level at the job house.

Of course it is time consuming especially my manager who is handling two department with around 40 – 50 employees! Thus I hardly see him around except in the small room where he is busy discussing with my peer.

I wondered if I would need to attend the one to one session of the job house. Initially I felt like want to attend but now I feel like it is a waste of time. Anyway, I’ll let him decide.

I felt rather lonely in the office for past week. My best friend colleague is away on holiday in Hongkong with her family! Another colleague is on MC for 4 days already as she hurt herself during the team building.

So here I am alone. My lunchmates have appointments as well so I don’t have lunchmates for de past 2 days. I asked my other colleague to tabau for me as I am lazy to go out and get something to eat or join the others. But another colleague said I am anti-social! Only 2 days of not joining the other for lunch is considered as anti social???

Anyway, SS would be back tomorrow, so looking forward her return!

“So, have you finish your master paper yet?” I asked my housemate again, for the 100th times perhaps.

“No, I haven’t got time to do it”, he reply promptly, the same answer.

However, I wasn’t really convinced of his answer as he has been delaying his master paper for too long! It has been more than 3 years since he enrolled in the master course and the only thing that set him back is the essay paper. I hope he could get it done as soon as possible.

Just hope he can get it done at least by next year!

Yesterday I had dinner with my two colleagues at Wisma Central chicken rice shop. I saw they have the ‘pork’ (siu yuk) and ordered it on top of my roasted chicken. CL found out that I like siu yuk a lot, despite its ‘fatness’ on the meat!

So today, she was being so sweet as she bought some nice siu yuk from the market near her house this morning! So, SS and I went to Masjid Jamek and we bought famous yummy Yong Tau Foo and Mamak Rojak to top up for the lunch.

We bought too much and really have a nice time eating during the lunch at pantry. I am not sure if I can have such close friendship with my new colleagues in the future. I am going to miss them heaps!!!
