Race to the finishing line

In performing my training for the past week, I feel like racing to the finishing line.
I can't wait for this measurement thingy to be over soon. ^-^
Of course next, there will be many things to come. Things will be pouring in. More finishing lines ahead. ;P

Just me and my name

What Eileen Means

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Exciting events

My convocation will be held on 16 August 2008 at 3 pm. :) Hmm..I'll be hunting for baju kebaya/ any formal attire next month. I dunno where to get nice and reasonable ones. My friend recommended that I go buy 4 m cloth and let a tailor sew. But I prefer ready made ones, as they are more convenient. Coz I don't know what kind of cloth will end up suitable and besides, I don't know any good tailors that make nice Malay kebayas.
My another cousin in-law is expecting a bundle of joy in August (or earlier than that) too if not mistaken, and one more in October. Haha.
My cousin sister just gave birth a baby girl on 23rd June 2008. That means my aunt will be 3x grandma within 6 months.
A triple promotion for me being an 'aunt'. :p

BLOG

I find this news informative. A few years back, the term 'blog' to me is still vague. I thought it is just another www and a new internet jargon that appears along side with other new terms. But this word has become so influential nowadays. :-)

I've got my broadband

I've subscribed to Celcom broadband on Monday.
Now I can get fast internet, way faster than my dial-up dinosaur connection ;-)
Actually I thought of waiting till next month but since they have this Euro 2008 free pouch and 512 thumb drive, I just grab it. I also football fan so...
I think the 100 days 100 cars contest is useless.If a company wants to reward customers, don't come up with the strategy like the biggest spender= the winner.
I always join contests too, but one principle that I practice is that I won't join a contest if it involves spending a lot of money to collect points or buying product to collect tokens or having the highest entry to win.
And what I've won so far from these contests made me value the prizes I got because I don't spend to get those, I got it from my effort.
Anyway, I subscribed to Celcom coz it got good coverage, 5xMom oso recommend ;p and plus, I've heard many complaints from customers from the other network companies both in blogs and newspapers, so I just choose to be a blue fan la..LOL

First day

First day in office involves trying out the uniform. Next, making a badge and filling in some forms. Then, the unavoidable orientation. Haha..a MUST for all new employees, no matter in which factories, unis and schools.

Goodbye Yesterday, Hello Tomorrow!

On the last day of my job on Friday, I had a walk around the surrounding buildings other than mine. As I entered the other building, it was a different scene. Among those people who walked past me are not of familiar faces as it is a totally different department. I just smiled at them; some walking hurriedly, some talking over the phone, some waiting for the bus at the lobby and others chit-chatting as it was nearly lunch time. Wherever new places you go, you are about to meet new people. After walking about, I took a look at the cafe. At that time, it was already packed with people. Unlike the cafe in my building, it is usually deserted as colleagues here prefer to eat outside.
Before I went home, I sent an e-mail to my colleagues and drop a small gift to my supervisor who happened to be out of office on the last day. My manager is also not around. At 5.55 pm, I officially returned my badge and walked out. Bye bye! ;-p
