good news today on a supposed 'blue' monday...

hmm.. i hope the day will come soon... that she is going to be transferred out of my workplace.. hehe... heard this piece of good news in the morning today.. i felt a sense of relief that i do not have to tolerate her 'noise pollution' in the office. sometimes, without this kind of people, office environment can be a pleasant one.

the second piece of news is, despite she sounded unwilling to cover my saturday duty during my birthday week, my old friend, angelin volunteered to cover for me.. thanks gal.. she is really nice. I am not upset that I have to come back to work on that saturday, in fact by her unnecessary remarks. geez...

anyway, i felt really 'loved' by some of my friends. they are really sweet in fact... some commented that they missed my company during training and some said that they really miss me!! nice friends indeed... today had dinner with my batchmates. deep down in my heart, i know one fine day all these will slowly diminish but i do treasure every catchup we have.

I believe god is blessing my life now... he is watching over me and I believe that things will improve... :)

new environment...

have already been at new workplace for past 1 week, i guess my closer friends would know that i have this b*** at my office whom i dislike. I have no idea what kind of frustration is she facing when the work is not as much as what i was handling before.. her favourite phrase 'training never teach you this meh?' can hear it from her at least once a day. there is so much the trainers can teach us, you cannot expect a newbie like me to know everything from a-z comparing to you facing the system for whole 3 yrs! shall keep my cool... i am sure i will do my part by learning things asap so that she will not be 'bothered' by anyone. i maybe quite quick-tempered when i was at my last job as I was the only person left in my team then, comparing what i was handling then and you? the disparity is poles apart. nevertheless, i know i can do it and she will get it from me if she pushes her luck further.

hmm. shan't talk about her.. anyway, had a nice gathering/farewell with my ex-cols at Jumbo seafood restaurant @Dempsey. I didn't eat much.. not a seafood lover. Quek is flying off tmr to Aussie, all the best to her.. she has really came a long way. i am sure she will be happier there as her parents are there. I will miss her lots! very nice col who i clique well when she came in not long ago in my previous company. basically, i miss my ex-cols esp mel and lw. we agreed on an annual trip every oct. shaoye shall be the person to plan! oh boy, really look forward to that!!! :D i do not like bali personally but my last bali trip was an enjoyable one. company does matter and makes a difference indeed.

on a happier note, i met up with my batchmates (again, yes!) at jamie's place for bbq yesterday. it was an exclusive invitation by her so not many were invited but all came to the yellow themed bbq. all must dress in at least >30% yellow colour. interesting.. love the catchuo with the rest. we talked about our new workplace and we agreed that the batchmates are indeed better cols to work with. haha,

today, was a nice day to rest. went for my facial and my face has spots of redness. pain! especially my nose!! the beautician really did a good job and my nose is blackheads free!! thereafter met up with XX and end off the day a happy one... :)

I believe that things will turn better as time goes by. hehe... :)

first day of work tmr...

at last after 8 wks of training, im finally on board for work tmr. would like to thank all my batchmates and trainers for their patience and understanding. it has been tough and despite it is over, i do miss the times spent. late nights, lunching in, smoke bombs throwing all over the place and team work.

i can only say it was great back at school for training and i will treasure the times which we have spent together. though, i have confirmed with him that he is married but thanks to him, i enjoyed his classes and probably one of the factors which is why i managed to pass all the tests and assignments.

i look forward in meeting my colleagues tmr and hope they are as fun as the previous organisation's. ta!

Yeh!!! deployment will be next tues!!

geez... can rest a few more days before i start work.. i can foresee i will miss training days!!! i am already missing it now! my lovable batchmates and trainers... really missed the laughters and fun... mischievous trainer making fun of trainees and trainees trying to 'smoke' trainers.. during assignment assessment, trainer portrayed as nasty client who is hard to handle....

totally unforgettable.. i have been through 2 different banks' training, never experienced such a fun but tough training.. even my batchmates agreed for those who have went more than 2 banks. *hugs* to all...

shall rest tmr at training centre and party at night!!! haha!!!

tmr is my deployment date...

FINALLY, my training is over. passed the infamous test paper. knowing that i will not be seeing my trainer soon, i bought him coke, his fave drink the night before yesterday. his commitment in work really impressed me. he did not have his dinner and continued conducting a crash course for those who needed it. thus, the coke is a form of reward to him. :)

can tell he is very happy. haha. i bought him coke yesterday again but this time, my batchmate, Jamie passed it to him. he was shocked and taken aback. Jamie told him it is given by me and confirm he can accept. yah, he did and said ok, discreetly.. and walked back to his office. he looked really shy.. cute.

i have no idea whether he is married or not... somehow, i feel it is not nice to admire someone who is married. i feel these 2 mths of training have been fun and educational. really enjoyed alot. XX feels i sounded kinda hua chi but i guess it has been sometime since i admire someone after the last. thanks XX for your concern.

hope my colleagues are nice at branch..

a happening D&D..

my company's Dinner and Dance was on 12 Nov 2010 and indeed an enjoyable and happening night. was slight disappointed as my reporting manager did not contact me to join my branch's table ... oh well... its fine. what's important is, I enjoyed myself!!! :D

took many pics... if u ask me, what food were served during the dinner, i can only remember there were fish, noodles and mango sago dessert though, it was a 8 course dinner! have no idea what other food was served. throughout the whole d&d, i was going around taking pics with my batchmates. haha.. took pics with my fave trainer. the one i admire lots! geez... he looks charming especially with his cute dimple at the left side. haha.. he is a smart boy man... good at illustrating to those who have lots of ??!! on their heads during his training. he is also very mischievous during assignment presentation and my team has to throw lots of 'smoke bombs' at him but failed 'cause he knows that we are 'smoking' him. hahahaa!!! My whole batch loves him!!!

haha... i think he is the only one who managed to attract me after the last wave. sad to say, the training is going to be over.. don't think i will be seeing him once im deployed to branch. *pouts* Next week is going to be a short week of training. think i will be seeing him another 2 days then im off to my branch.. unless i fail my test! haha.

really look forward to see him everyday...feels as though im back to my younger days of admiring cute guys! so funny!

another assignment passed...

scored a 8/10 with my team for the FX challenge!! it was fun!! haha.

Our trainer isn't that bad after all instead I find he is quite humourous and fun! He has a pair of small eyes when he smiled he looks like cute cartoon character which I can't recall now. He has came a long way. impressive by his determination. he is around late 30s but he looks as thou he is a fresh grad from uni. cute guy indeed..

i am feeling so sleepy now but i have another assignment for thurs submission... no choice..Zzzzz

Fate not meant to be....

Today scored a 9/10 for my group presentation!! :D

These two weeks have been pretty tough during training but I'm glad to have nice and fun-loving cols around. Though, some of them have been separated from us due to different job functions, they still come by and chat with us. We have new cols that have just joined us and have been nice as well. I really treasure the time spent with them. I can feel the rays of light shining into the grey period of my life.

I have a close friend, Jamie who has been accompanying me. We can clique really well to the extent that I felt as though we have known each other for years. Haha. She has been my listener and in turn, I have been for her as well. The guys in my batch have been nice. There was one whom I thought he could be a nice option but upon knowing him better, I felt he is a person with high self-esteem and a temper. I know myself very well sometimes I can be quite quick tempered and I can foresee a situation whereby he would not compromise due to his principles. When it comes to argument, it's worst. I do not need a partner that always give in to me but at least, one that will have the patience to tell me where did I do wrong and how should such a situation being handled better. I do not deny the fact that during the whole course of training, he has been taking care of me. Thanks.. Appreciated..

Finally, discovered a 'gem' recently but too bad, he is attached. A charismatic and in fact, a smart one. He is humble and patient too. Somehow, I see some traits of someone in him and yes indeed. haha. Upon chatting with my female batchmates, I realised that some of them are attracted by his charisma as well. wow. impressive!

i guess fate not meant to be... hmm.. i wonder how's XX doing... have not seen him for sometime.. all the best for your interview.. :) shall sleep early today.. think there is another assignment to be given tomorrow. (i feel as though i am back in my uni days.) Zzzzzzzz

at last... iphn4 is in my hands...ON 24 OCT!

am so happy that i have managed to purchase my desired hp till date. thanks to my company that allows so from the benefits!! :D

Another week to go ..

Felt really tough initially when I do not quite understand what the trainers talking about as im not from a financial background (academically). tends to be quite demoralising. however, i feel i am fortunate that I have nice and patient teammates that are willing to spend time to explain to me and to them, no questions are stupid questions. :) thanks, Steven, Julien and Jamie.

Though, I have been working a non sales related job for 3 yrs plus, i felt that to be a professional banker, there are so many things that you have to be knowledgable about and not on plainly products focused. Learnt alot of this training. I really enjoyed myself alot. Glad that the fundamental training has indeed broaden my knowledge and further made me curious to know more. seems like good times do not last, another week more, we will be deployed to our respective departments. i am adjusted to my current lifestyle and soon, have to adjust again.. hmm... i hope my cols will be as fun loving as them and thus, will enjoy my work and time spent.

Today's presentation, my team scored a 9.5/10!!! which is a high score to speak coming from a strict trainer. thanks to all my teammates and im really proud of all of you. teamwork rocks!! :D

got to hit my bed... tired... yawns... ZzzzzZZZ
