New Phone

Nokia E72 to replace my faithful, 5.5years old Nokia 6610 =)
Releasing in end of 3rd quarter. So, aiming to get somewhere in Nov...

Sut Cha-less City

JB

Yeap, i know it's dangerous to drive & snap photos, but as long as no accident, then i guess it should be fine =p

My tiny table + not-workable phone + super slow pc
*compare this to my kl table in the previous post*

Basically I'm station in QA area (lab + office), with spraying area on my right, a lot of testing equipment in front of my desk. Think I'm gonna die few years faster for smelling those fragrances everyday.
All colleagues (that I spoke to) are very nice to me. Informative & helpful... KL-ian said either they love or hate me... So, I guess they are loving me for now... Just hope I dont screw things up =D

Few interesting incident in JB

In coffee shop
Indo lady: Minum apa
Me: Sut cha (Ice tea)
Indo lady: *puzzled* Apa?
Me: Sut Cha!
Indo lady: *more confused* tak ada
Me: okay, Teh Ice
Colleague: You want CHINESE TEA, issit?
Me: eeerrrrr, yeah... So, they called it chinese tea here? hhhhmmmmmmm

In office (this doesnt apply to everyone)
Me: Why do we arrange it this way and not the other way. Isnt the other way more efficient?
Colleague: It's boss decision, we DONT question boss, okay?
Me: *sweat*

In car
Day 1
Colleague: Becareful when you are in JB. Ketua polis here also kena rompak

Day 2
Colleague: 2 years back got a lady kena snatch here, she went into coma and just died recently

Day 3
Aunty: I didnt sleep well last night. A lot of noises out there, I thought there's thief in the house...

Day 4
Uncle: See, the car is trying to follow us... If such thing happens to you, make sure you do this & that...

Day 5
Colleague's wife: Dont think you are very safe in a car, okay...

*sweat*
and I was in JB for 5 days only...
Is that city that dangerous?
Everyday I get reminder to be extra extra extra careful
Anyway, this is another pic I took when I was driving at Danga Bay =)

Pretty, isnt it?

cheers,

Finally

My work station in RB

Yeap,
Finally it's really the time to have the last part of my training, in JB factory.
This city is definitely not my favorite place to stay.
'Concerned' family & frenz have been constantly reminding me the danger of the ppl in this city.
"Not to stay out after 10pm",
"Dont go petrol station alone",
"Dont talk to stranger",
etc etc...
Gosh, this makes me even more nervous.

My top 3 concern would be *deng deng deng deng....*
1. JB lack of nice chinese food. Sometimes I just gotta to satisfy my need of filling my tummy with non halal food. You get what I mean? (10c, pls say yes)
2. I got no friends. Yeah, everyone telling me I'll make friends with factory ppl, but then... most of them are married uncles/ aunties who probably no time to entertain meeeeee...
3. Everywhere sounds so dangerous, no matter you are in restaurant, petrol station, on the road, cinema, shopping centre, you are highly exposed to robbers. Some say in JB, you have to at least got robbed once. *sweat* (I can imagine Zaf scolding me for jinxing myself)

I think the only consolation is...................... this city is only half an hour away from Spore (pls forget the currency part)
wait wait, maybe there's another, less traffic jamm,
oh yeah, also cheaper lunch (compare to eating at Tesco/ Curve/ Ikano/ Ikea)

See, 3 top most concern killed with 3 consolations.
Told you I'm a hopeful person... *This round hoping Jb is not that bad*

God bless me
for me who have been doing my job well as a devil queen - to be evil to a lot of ppl

Okay, have to sleep early... Tmr gotta wake up earlier to pack =D

cheers,

JB

anticipating...
hopefully everything is okay

Being Hopeful

One of my greatest weakness is being overly too hopeful,
even to things that probably will not happened
to ppl who are not worth it

or is it just becoz I'm too stubborn?

Rude ppl

Idiots are getting to my nerves.
Everyone seems to be on PMS mood.
No, no, no quick forgiving this round.

Random one, two or three

It has been 4months since I left Sony & joined Reckitt Benckiser. Life is good @new place. Meet a lot of new & interesting ppl. In Reckitt, I've been hopping around depts. From logistic, procurement, and now packaging. Later around next Feb, wll be going to factory in JB for training in supply planning, material planning, QA, safety, etc etc... *phew* oh, did I mention training in finance too? My bosses are so far so happy with me. and I also went to S'pore for Regional Induction conference, its something like any other aiesec conferences where there's ice-breaking, talk, team building, drinking, meeting ppl, fun, fun & more fun... wrong mindset, isnt it?

From left (Current boss, mentor, ex boss, me)
Visit Genting Sanyen papermill. Almost lost on the way there.
Thanks to Mr ex-colleague directed the way.
and yeah, I arrived later than my bosses (**)|||

My girl frens @work.
Msian delegates who went Spore.
The 4th from the left is a sesat delegate (from korea if not mistaken).

My team mates for treasure hunt.
Some from China, Thai, Korea and me

Me on self-made go kart
This is honestly a scary experience where I nearly fall off the 'car' during the race.

Next, I joined my ex-colleagues (who is now known as my Sony frens) to celebrate MoonCakeFestival @ Jenjarom. Few of us stayed over, kononnya to help the host's mother clean up the house. But more to kepoh about each others life, happenings in sony, reckitt, & mahjong la... The next day, we went a temple & Pantai Morib, something like PD (almost as dirty, I mean) However, we enjoyed ourselves.. *It shows that the companion matter more than the destination, agree?*

BBQ Dinner

Mahjong til around 6am in the morning.

posing @ a kolam in the temple
(looks natural, right? =p)

and enjoyed ourselves with layang2, flower windmill, the buih-buih
and of coz siew's superb camera + photography skill

Then, one of the 'major' event for this quarter is Nov babies celebration. So, there were 2 sessions. One for Mr Orangy Devil David @ Korean Restaurant @ NTZ. Ms Seah hasnt send us photo. So, couldnt upload. The service @ the restaurant is really superb. You dont really need to call/ wave at the waiter/ waitress to get something from them (so unlike the other usual place we go, eg, murni in ss2 & nandos in MV)
And another celebration for Jill & Christine @ Sri Petaling Steamboat + Starbucks@ JayaOne + beer@ Halo Cafe JayaOne. Yeap, 3 destination on the same few hours night.

Jill & Jas

Thats about it for this round. You can expect another post from me probably end of next quarter =D
