Laugh at Me!

Ok, this is gonna be a very random and stupid post for all of u to laugh at me. :) 1 week into my new role, I am already handling a few things on my own - 1 of them is to call customers thro a machine to inform them on the settlement. Sounds simple? Yeah, kinda. So how this machine works is that we type a conversation to each other like MSN. The only difference is that the other party can see what u type as u type (think typewriter!) and there is no way u can delete or backspace what u typed. Getting more interesting?? So how we let the other party know that we type wrongly is to put EEEE and they will know that the word u jus typed is wrong. So now, here comes the story. I was doing my usual calling and talking to Irene at the same time. Customer answered the "call" and I was supposed to type "I BUY" but I dunno why my brain kept thinking of selling so I typed "I SE...". From the above way of typing, u'll know that I should continue with SEEEEEE but d...

Unexpected

Had a huge huge fight with Eeyore on Friday nite. It was ugly with doors slamming in each other's faces, screaming and shouting vulgarities at each other. Really ugly.. Finally got my point through and I guess we made up. Not a pretty sight, yes, but at least it's ok now. Went back to KL on Saturday morning to attend a wedding of someone we both don't know. At the wedding reception, Eeyore shocked me by telling me something that I totally didn't expect. Apparently, his mum has been asking him a question sporadically from Chinese New Year til now - when he will marry me. I was in awe! It was soooo unexpected and I really didn't see it coming! I mean, I really never would have thought his mum would ask him that! It's.. unbelievable even til now. Don't ask me why, but I really really really wasn't anticipating that! I know my family has been asking me that question a gazillion times so why is it so shocking now that his mum asked? I guess it's coz I har...

New Role!

I'm supposed to be studying right now but can't concentrate! I'm so screwed.. Sighz.. Started work at my new department since yesterday. Overall it's quite ok. The guys are nice to me and I know quite a few people on the floor so it's been quite alright. :) Traders generally hate Ops people coz they think that Ops folks ask too many questions & they're really happy that I'm there now to resolve all these questions on their behalf. Haha. But, my system accesses need to be up and running before I can help them. I have a weird life now. I start work at 7.30am, go out to buy lunch at 11.15am and eat at my desk. Then I head home at 5.30pm & be hungry til about 8 or 9pm coz I wait for Eeyore to have dinner. :( Think I can't wait for Eeyore for dinner too often coz I get hungry by 6+ 7pm these days. Sigh... Anyway, my mentor is quite nice to me. He's written quite a few notes for me on the spot to study. Though it's quite pressurizing and that b...
