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 due to my talking to Irene about doing this expiry/exercise (short form is xxx) thingy at the same time and from the lack of concentration, instead of typing EEEE, I typed "I SEXXXXX".
Ok, u may laugh ur head off at me now! My 1st thought was oh my god!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT!!! Yes, I felt really stupid and ridiculous!! What would the customer be thinking??? So embarrassing!!!!
Hope u had a good laugh at me & I hope this brightens up the day for all of u reading my blog! :)

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 hardly talk to his mum unless I go to KL and the other time was when we went Cambodia together. That's about it.. Oh well..
And on Saturday morning when we were driving there, he said he had a sudden realisation. I wonder what that means. Am I thinking too much and reading too much into things?? Not gonna get my hopes up lest i be disappointed. :)
PS: Do not let Eeyore know about this post!

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 both desks need me to help them out, I need to know the day to day stuff and definitely all the nitty gritty stuff. Hence, I need to study on the subject I hate most in Uni which I failed for 2 years in a row & never passed even til the day I graduate. That's how much I suck at this subject & I'm seriously wondering what the hell I am doing now!! Whatever made me think I can do this now?? Sigh...
Ok, enough of the grumbling. I wanted this job, I chose this path. I've got to stick with it and hope something good turns out. Time to hit my books for half an hour and concuss coz I have to wake up at 5.45am every morning now! I need my sleep and I can't afford to make any mistakes at work or it's gonna be costly! Nitez all!!!
PS: Eeyore came in & saw me blogging. Insisted that I change Eeyore to his real name but I don't care! Not like he reads anyway (actually, I wonder if he will read today's entry since he saw me blogging. Hmm...).
