DRooLZ MaNia: April 2007

25 April 2007

Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day.

Is it the raining season? It's been raining the past few days. Hubby is not too thrill though he's always the only person that embrace this weather gracefully (murah rezeki weather) because he is down with a continuous flu. Hasn't been feeling too well lately. And he's always at his worst when the flu bug gets to him. Poor Baby...

Then again, it's good news at work. Out of the whole 500 formality emails which my manager always think its redundant, paid off. Finally! I was almost at my wits end trying to improvise my correspondence, verbal conversations and product knowledge. At the end of the day (which is right now!) i felt totally good!!! Then again maybe i could converse at my pace today because i am all alone in the office. No worries about anyone hearing me fumbling with my words...
Thank God...

Well, since the day has end for me, it's time for a lil retail theraphy to reward myself for another job well done!!!

Yahoooooooo!!!!!! Shoes.... here i come.......

21 April 2007

Two weeks had passed. It seemed so fast ever since i had started working in my new workplace. Seronok sey!!! Tapi yang tak seronoknya apabila diri ini masih tergapai-gapai dalam dunia IT. Fuhyooo... Bahasaku pon!!! Kherkherkher....

Anyways, few good news for me. Even though i am no longer working as a manicurist for a shop that supports local magazines, i am still being asked for to take the shots out of freelancing. So, what does this means? It means that throughout my patience and dedications in giving the best in the media industries, is appreciated and recognized.

Two days ago, an Art Director for a Magazine, called to ask if i will be free or willing to take up an advertorial photoshoot, i hesitated but initially i took on the job. I felt glad after that. Hubby gave his support too in allowing me to do freelancing. So, expect to see more jobs engagement with this director. Alhamdulillah...

Customer basis, not to worry. Have a few in hand that regularly calls to asked to do home service. Another alhamdulillah... Instead of pocketing the sum to the company, i will be pocketing it to my pants. Ishx3... Kayax3...

Last weekend was my first weekend that i finally got to spent with my family, my Kiddo's soccer tournament. Though i have no interest in soccer, i tagged along to show my presence. Can't call that support (i think). So, here's to more coming weekends. Hehehe...

Introducing Braveheart Football Association.

The Mummy showing her presence. The girls are just out to have fun.

Kalau dengan si kecik pulak, asyik nak cari makan aje. Until bloated, cari tempat nak ZZzz pulak. Hehehe...

This face is wherever the Kiddo is for soccer.

It was really a hot hot weekend. A late shower at the end of the tournament but all that was worthwhile for Kiddo reigns Champion.

The Champions with the sponsor for that event.

Well, that's for last weekend. This weekend is a spent-at-home day. Laundries to get wash and done, SA1's around the corner. Bila part nih je lemau i dibuatnya. Weak from screaming and repeating myself from saying, "PLEASE GO AND DO YOUR REVISION!!!"

Mommas out there, sound familiar to you? Yeah, those dreadful seasons are back again and this is just the begining...

IT Lingo anyone?

2nd day at work... Fuhyooo.... fening2 lalatz member. So many abbreviations to learn. Not to mention the definitions of each!!!

The husband say, "You can do it! You can do it!" YES I CAN!!! This IT scope of mine is tough for someone who has no knowledge of IT before(not a single bit). But i am very greatfull with this company that willingly gives me the opportunity to scale from the very bottom(i really mean bottom like in the very inside of your arse!!!) with the dedicated help of the Sales/IT manager himself.

Patience, perseverance and performance is all i have to describe him. Every minute of his time wasn't spare for answering stupid questions of mine like, "What is ADSL/DSL?" etc.... Even at this moment of mine, i am still trying to figure out what i had just learnt today. 2nd day babe, lagi Honeymoon katakan.

Insight on the first day:

9am - Reach destination (Orang tertentu lum sampai lagi! Sia2 tolak orang sampai nak jatuh kat mrt). Wait... and wait... and wait... haiz...
9.30am - Bagedil nih baru sampai. Showed to my desk and being introduced to the rest of the team members which compromises of Charlie(& The Chocolate Factory)no lah, the Sales Manager, Ling, my another Sales Manager and Larry, the IT Manager.
10am - Settled down. Get all passport(ids, keys, tap card). Break ice with Ling.
10.30am - The ZZzzz Monster almost got to me when Ling was explaining the nature of my scope, company's profile, who do i liaise with at SingTel, who are the agents, authorised dealer/distributor and so on.
11.45am - Got out from the ice breaker and was finally given a real task. To quote prices for our SMEs. Reply correspondence to clients on our services, at the same time introducing myself.
12.20nn - Invited to have a quick lunch with my managers. Members belanja. Konon Welcome Lunch lah. Accepted.
1.15pm - Freshies katakan... Nak cepat balik kerja. Anyways banyak lagi nak kena faham.
2pm onwards till the end of the day, prepare quotations aje. But so far, I AM LOVING IT every bit of the 'WorldWideWeb'.

Today, learn product knowledge. This, i really have to absorb soon or i will make a fool out of myself introducing the product(staggering about it) to all the IT managers in our SMEs .

"Don't worry, i have confidence in you. So put tonnes of it in yourself. Down the road, we will be rewarded. But try not to take too long." the manager said. Very motivating...

So i say to myself once again...

YES I CAN! YES I CAN! YES I CAN

It's The Holidays...Again

Tomorrow's Good Friday. Wow!!! Pocketku koyak Mak!!! Let's see... Iman's birthday is tomorrow, my niece, Sarah's birthday is on the 8th and lil frat's birthday is the day after. Soon after that on Monday, i'll be starting my new job.

I have a looong break for this as i have finally left that blardy old work place with that evil boss of mine. How peaceful... I can't wait to be at my new work place. It sure offer me a good prospect in times to come. Syukur alhamdulillah. Berkat doa suami dan keluarga, rezekiku disana akhirnya. Come to think of it, i seriously have to get use to waking up in the mornings to avoid that rush hour traffic that literally spells 'MASSIVE'.

Working outfit... fret no more, i'll just have to mix match whatever leftovers that i still keep for the past 3 decades. Orbit?! Apa orbitnya benda yang dah old fashion? Isn't vintage the fashion norm nowadays? People are wearing vintage dresses, grandmas pleated skirts/tops and ruffle blouses to the office hokay. Alah, doesn't matter the work wearlah. Most important thing, i learn fast and well

Eeee.... bestnya!!!
