Pieces of my Past

‎I wonder will there ever be a person who is gonna read my stories.

I just realized that I had created two blogs of my own. haha. 
It was fun creating my own blog designs and editing while learning html back then.

Years back when i was studying in university, many wanted to be bloggers.

Everyone created their own blogs and there were many famous bloggers too.

But since Facebook and Smart phones came into our lives, things have changed.

No one blogs anymore. No one writes their diaries in here anymore.

Nowadays people even have Instagram and Tiktok apps where they share their daily live stories online for everyone around the world to read and the best part of all is they can even earn money from it !

Well, honestly, many things have changed since i quit my job.

Every now and then i wonder about these few things that happened in my life:

First:     What would my life be if i had not gotten married? 
              What would my life be if i had stayed single all this time?

Second: What would my life be if i never had kids of my own?

Third:    What would my life be if I had not moved back to my hometown in Penang?

Fourth:   What would my life be if I had not studied in Kuala Lumpur and found a job in KL 15 years  ... ago ?

Fifth:      What would my life be if I quit my job? 
                I have done this and it is coming to my third month of being a jobless mom.
                I will share more about how my life turned out few months from now.

All I know is that my priorities have changed.

It is always hard to look back to our past and ponder on our past when there is no turning back... decisions made can never be undone.

A Hospital Stay !

 

As I was saying, "More time to share my life stories?"

I was so wrong!

Few days ago my eldest son, Isaac had high fever and diarrhea. 
His fever went as high as 40 degrees. We went to his pediatric in Bukit Mertajam as usual and doctor suspected rotavirus. We went home and his fever was still high and he kept having stomach cramps and diarrhea for almost 6 times!

So we decided to send him to hospital, Sunway Medical Centre, the newly opened hospital in Seberang Jaya. We usually go to Gleneagles Hospital, but it was so far, an hour drive to the island.

No time to waste, I packed my stuff and we brought Isaac to the emergency ward.
Admitted to the children's ward at 11 pm.

Honestly, we felt much better with the drip and supervisions from the hospital. Even with the food prepared has made us more relaxed. There was no time for me to cook meals for Isaac as I was busy attending to him, wiping him to cool his fever down and giving him medicines.

Thankfully my mom helped me with the cooking and taking care of my youngest son, Samuel.

On the second day, Isaac's fever subsided. Isaac was still having lots of stomach cramps and diarrhea for 4 times in the morning. After taking the SmectaGo and wind medicines, his diarrhea stopped and i felt so relieved. We both prayed so hard that morning. It was freaking me out.

Thank God so much that Isaac has finally managed to calm down and we soon started to enjoy the movies in the hospital TV. Even the food was to our content.

Night sleep was comfortable too. The nurses outside were very noisy and Isaac told me that they laughed like 'witches'. Haha. This has at least made our stay not so quiet and sorrowful environment, especially at night time.

Needless to say, I have been staying in hospital every year accompanying both my kids for the past years. I thought this year since it was coming to an end (November), that I will get to skip this year without a hospital stay.

Nope! 

When will this curse be lifted or spell be broken ?

The Most Challenging Decision Ever Made !

 Hey there!

My life has changed so much over the one year that has passed.

Now i have more time for myself and my family, especially my two boys.

Surprisingly, i have quit my job! I still cannot believe that I have made that daring decision.

It was the biggest change in my life and i can say that it is the hardest decision i have ever made so far.

Honestly, I loved my job. I worked as an admin in a bank. I am paid quite well, i would say, as i am only an admin executive. My bosses have graded my performance as outstanding and that gave me good increments as well as bonuses every year, for the past 14 years there.

Well, my salary has almost reached 10k and i get 2+3.5 month bonuses each year.

In fact, no one would actually believed that my salary is this high for just an admin and so many months of bonuses each year.

It is such a heartache that i had to leave a career that i have built up over the years. 

14 YEARS ! can u imagine that ??

I have so so much to share as now i have more personal time and i need to share it with 'someone'.

Until then,

12 Nov 2024

I noticed that there is no year written so im gonna pen down the year for me to keep track.

April

Last week was a terrible week . It was so hard for me to get by. My banking service manager blamed me for losing the Master Image that the branch and my centre was sharing. 

 Master Image is a hard disk that stores all our data to set up a new PC. The branch needed it for the red carpet banking new computers installation. I was so damn worried that I really lose it. My ITD guy told me that branch should be keeping it inside their strong room, a place where they keep security items along with the cash. The banking services manager even wanted me to take the blame and write an email to my ITD bangi (HQ) to give explanation for losing it. . 

 As a matter of fact, I couldnt remember anything about keeping the master image at all. I couldnt even remember how it looked like for goodness sake ! Oh dear, I couldnt sleep for days and couldnt even talk to anyone in office. Who else can help me to find. And I even thought i had thrown it away along with the other old RAMS plastics. All this happened a year ago ! How can I even remember when I cant even recall previous weeks work. At the end, when my banking service manager found it, inside her own branch strong room, she called me to inform, to inform nia.... never even apologized to me. haiyo... I only told her that thanks to her, I couldnt sleep for days . -_- 

 I hope she wont ever find me to be the scape goat again in the future when things go missing. From this incident, I have realised that i should keep a book to write down whenever we hand over any important documents over to the branch. 

 I am really thankful this issue is solved. I am grateful too for having Mr Guna (ITD Penang) guy backing me up and assured me that the master image shouldnt have been with and should have been kept by the branch and they are only finding me to take the blame (tai-chi). 

 God has sent a good samaritan to help me ! =)

I have been so busy for the past 2 weekends.
first, my cousin sister's wedding. although it is just a wedding, it is a big wedding to me. haha. she used to be my one and only closest cousin sister. we grew up together since we are both Rabbits. hehe.

A week after that was my training on Employment Act 1955. An interesting topic to study on. The topic covers a very big area. We were given so many case study for better understanding, but most of it are not so simple. i wonder whether does Wen Li study the laws for employment boh...

Deepavali is coming. yeah. finally a weekend for me to rest.

The MCTF '10 ...
here i come! =)

gosh, i was really over excited la. not sure why. haha. just happy cause my first time participating in all this events. probably i should join events organiser instead la. haha.

this pic below is when we are closing the exhibition centre after 7+ pm. the crowd came as early as 10 am. I am pretty sure there will be an even bigger crowd tmr. I was planning to help out tmr, willingly, but nah... i guess i shouldnt over react la... =P
I was hoping to get more pictures on this event, but better focus on work more.

I caught a pic of an orange lion next to my boOth. he looks so funny inside the costume.

I cant help it, but to tickle his chin =X

Isnt he just adorable ??? haha.

Well, throughout the day, i have met many candidates from nationwide and from various backgrounds too. some came all the way from johor or perak. I met one from S'pore too. There are also foreigners. haha. one Mat Salleh guy was too tall and when he stood in front of me, we both laughed.

Many fresh grads out there looking for jobs. It was definitely a good chance for all the job seekers from everywhere to try out. Some look abit lost, some were too desperate for jobs, some were looking for changes in job scopes, and the hell, some were even toO desperate to get our souveniors ! =S

There are macam macam types of homo sapiens out there that u cannot even imagine !

I have been busy lately. Kinda addicted to Plant vs Zhombie games. haha.

Anyway, i have been sitting in with the other seniors for a few interviews. It sure was interesting to meet candidates from various backgrounds. haha. Still learning on the ways of interviewing and selecting the right or suitable candidates.





And ill be going for the Jobstreet MCTF'10 Career Day tmr in Mid Valley ! yeah! My very first time standing at the booth meeting fresh grads or job seekers from all around our country. It sure will be fun though it will also definitely be tiring standing for the whole day. But i know it is an experience i would not want to miss. Unfortunately I couldnt get myself in for the Sat session cause full ady...

Oh by the way, yesterday I also kpc join the long queue in the Burger King shop for the Whooper promotion. lol. Queue up for 1 hour for 3 biji Whooper! Aihz.... as if i cant afford to buy likee thaat.... =P

rewind, rewind...

pix of my colleagues in my previous company











i missed the foodcourt there. more varieties.

the guy is one of my closest friends in office. he is a funny guy. very famous in my department. quite cute ler. haha. a very helpful friend.
this girl used to sit beside me in office.
now she left dee also. will be working in s'pore since her bf found a job there.
i have met quite a number of girls where their bfs are working in spore and they are here in msia. so 'san fu' la, no meh ? can only meet once a month or sometimes twice if there are more holidays.

by the way, when work is stress or when it gets bored, this is what i normally do =)




i will turn around and take a peep at this ;)
this tall tower has become one of my fav place to jalan jalan. hehe.

monday.

back to work + back to school, again.

it is monday again.

last week traffic was very smooth. peaceful.

this is where i work.the building is opposite klcc. the 'plum plum ' one.

the city may look so beautiful and peaceful in this picture.

but today, traffic was massive. frustrating. argh.
well, that is kl. im not sure about other cities.



lots and lots of people are driving on their own these days. no more car pooling for their own convenience.

can i have a driver who will drive me to work every morning... that wll allow me to nap for another 30 - 40 mins in he car. =)

sometimes M will drive me to work. so i get to nap nap awhile more. =P

too bad it's only sometimes nia ....

can i not work and laze around at home everyday? haha.

work is always boring. office is boring. had to wear dull office attires everyday.
my work place is a building that has 33 floors. but unfortunately, there is no leng chai wan.... =P
i am sure there are many many leng chai, just have not been discovered. lol. =X
but i definitely can see lots and lots of leng lui everywhere ! =D

life's like that.

Another Saturday. A boring one. M asked me where i want to go, i told him -> I dont know !

so, conclusion = sleepz + play games (Plants vs Zombies) + read some office work.

hey, Plants vs Zombies is a good game. The best one I've played so far after Mario. =P

my brother ejek me. He said its a 2D game. only noOb plays that. haha. miss him. Muax.

we went for Step Up 3 movie just now. it was good. i still prefer chapter one.
last week we watched Vampire Sucks. aiyo, the movie really sucks to the max ! the jokes are so lousy and shittyly-shit.
yst night i watched a cartoon - How To Train Your Dragon. haha. it was a good movie.

today is my 3rd day working in this new company. so far so good. dare not hope too much for anything. it is always too soon to tell. so keep my fingers croXX.

my mentor's name is also same with me. haha. Evelyn too. so all of us have to create a short name for me. Eve lor...
she is just sitting in front of me. aiyo. funny la. whenever i call her, i feel like calling my ownself. so confusing. ~~~

i just walked over to klcc for lunch this afternoon. salary higher comes more expenses. aiyo. cause nearby are mostly mamaks nia. nothing much of chinese.

parking is also quite expensive. but still affordable.

and for the working environment, it is much better than my previous one. people are friendly and not so noisy. haha. for those who have heard of my stories, they should understand. my previous supervisor was alwy busy selling fruits in office. in order to be 'frendly', we too, have to order fruits from her. she is alwys the queen there. everyone is forced to listen to her craps, nothing but all shits. damn, alwy cant control my anger when i have to talk about her. there is never a good side of this 'lion' lady. famous for being the big bully lioness. forever selfish and inconsiderate. she is the cause of all the chaos that happens in our department. everyone knows that. the working culture is unhealthy and bad morale for the staff. many dislike her, but due to her seniority, we have to kow tow to her. man, how miserable my life has been because of her.
some of my colleagues actually feel that we are being treated like 'dogs' by her. =/

................. i hate everything about her !!! ............................

anyway, hope this new place will be a much brighter place. a brand new start. will keep praying for Him to guide me daily and give me strengh. =)

today is saturday. time flies super fast. will be going back to kl tmr morning. early morning.

then will be stuck with the same old routine again.
this time will be in a different company environment with new colleagues. many things will change. =) hope its for the better. need to pray consistently. alwys lupa XP

today went shopping with mom. bought a watch. didnt wana change yet, i like the timepiece of my old watch. its just the belt was almost torn. then laksa time. =D the best laksa ever in raja uda.
will miss these days i spent in penang.
but kl has more opportunities for me currently. not much choice i have. aiya.

i was browsing through some investment products. i wonder how or where to start. it sure looks interesting. hehe.

by the way, definitely not investments on plants. i thk this pic looks soothing.

anyways. it feels good to be blogging again. =)

extreme. yesterday night was considered Xtreme for me. haha.
su wei gave me the idea of "Xtreme".

well, we went out to penang island for supper at 9.30pm. reached kopi Cine at 10pm. drink drink talk talk. i ordered 'gula melaka'. nice. sweet =) it is a good place. very unique + antique like. unfortunately, no cam available.

then we makan supper in nasi kandar Beratur. lol. just right beside masjid Kapitan. not bad. they both love the mutton. i like the sotong.

then we ventured into 'love lane'. 0.o interesting. but we found nothing. haha.
we felt loved anyway.

oh, the last stop was at the One Club. woO... su wei intro the place. good one su wei, thx ;P
saw so many..leng lui. haha. so hot la !~ and there are other clubs as well. the VoodoO place looks pretty cool.

now i know how clubbers look like. and the 'smell' of the place too. wow.

it was really a good adventure. with chean yen as the super driver (who drives mostly on the fast lane) and gentleman su wei. hahaha. XD

finally,i reached home at 1.30am. yeah! super fun to reach home after midnight for once ;D

genting.
we went to genting durig Haji. these are some of the pics =)
nice memories. with someone so sick during tht time.
anyway, im glad i enjoyed myself with my brother.
since i started working, time seems so limited. cant seem to have enough time for everyone and even myself. aih. time flies. it's crazy.

and using wimax at home, the line is damn slow and lags. now im at other place, so haha, glad i can start blogging again. otherwise, i thk the photobucket and blogger might list me as the inactive user forever.

awW... my brother is sure cute ! haha.

today everything went well. =)
monday aint that bad after all if we stay positive. haha. yea, easy to say, i know.

i had to answer calls at call centre. well, it isnt an easy task u see. many are afraid to be placed there. anyhow, my other trainings are postponed for few days. there is a buddy beside me, guiding me on the terms and the use of the systems.

still, everytime i hear a ring, ill go kelam kabut then my mind would go astray and couldnt focus well. haha. im bit slow. i need to listen to the agents' enquiries as well as reading the information from the dekstop screen. the hardest part is still handling the system cause there are a few links for me to view all the information saved inside the system. it isnt easy to explain the whole process here.

but today, after lunch, i really had to be brave and have more confidence in doing things without depending on senior. cause she got irritated a few times when i forgot which link to look into when people call.

im glad things went well. and the lesson i learnt today is, to be able to have the courage to face difficulties and not to avoid or run away. it just wont help and will only torture myself in the end. haha. well, i answered almost 80 calls today. yiPpiE ! ~ =D
