14 Degrees

i dun like giving presentations..
i simply dun like the idea of going up in front of many pple and present…
not that i have stage fright… damn if i had stage fright, i wouldnt b winning awards with my Princesses for our performances..

u may say it is different cos with the Princesses, we are in a group..
it doesnt matter really, as long as you have stage fright, you are just afraid to face a large audience..

this time round, i am required to read up another of M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t services, S.h.a.r.e.p.o.i.n.t.
and i am required to do a presentation to alll the HODs in the company..
damn! part reading up is ok.. part nak buat report tu ok gak.. ni nak buat presentation lak..
double damn!

the last report that i had to do (S.e.l.e.c.t l.i.c.e.n.s.i.n.g dari M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t gak) was not so bad lah.. quite interesting..
yg ni abit boring cos the presentation i have to do is those basic knowledge stuffs that the HODs need to know.

but i do foresee alot of unsatisfied faces cos with this service implemented, my team will not be bogged down with last minute requests for folder reation in the server etc. ni semua dorang dah leh buat sendiri and they will be accountable for their own teams.

padan muka dorang..
no more manja requests for IT to this and that for them..
BOLAYAN! hmph!

hmmm.. so maybe it is not so boring afterall eh..
maybe i should impose so much info for them to swallow that they will die ternga-nga there and then.
that will make the presentatiion fun eh.. hehe

=========================================

when the 3 of us get together, we can say that all hell breaks loose.
dari blum kawin, sampai kawin, sampai dah beranak, sama gak..

the eldest will always be bullied by the younger 2…
cos the eldest is always the soft spoken one.
the younger 2s cried when her solmenization went on smoothly, this is after the many hurdles that she had went thru..
the younger 2s were there…. so they knew..

the youngest will always have her way of speaking her mind out..
will always have her share of manja-ness with the elder 2..
works her butt off to get what she has achieved now…
God played many tests on her and yet, she is still strong…

the middle one, is married, has a kid and getting fatter.
hmm.. leading a normal life with irritating pple working as her colleagues.. (atually not pple lah, person)
prefer to just shut up than blast her guts out of anger..

the relationship the 3 has can never be described correctly..
they are more than frens, more than family…

whatever the relationship is, i love you both k..

============================================

my princess has grown an awful lot..
she just turned 20 mths on National Day..
oh gosh she has learnt so much and each time she shows what she has learnt, i look at her in awe.
mcm tak percaya tu anak aku sendiri..
at times i can just sit and look at her from far, just to see what her next antics are..

just the other day we went to an ice cream parlour just to satisfy some icecrea cravings..
we bought an ice cream mudpie and 2 scoops of icecream..
her dad already declared the mudpie all his..
while his daughter declared the 2 scoops of icecream to her own… leaving the mummy curi2 here and there. hmph!

here’s the daughter and her self-declared ‘All Iffah’s’ 2 scoops of ice cream..

and here’s the father and daughter.. berpakat not to let mama eat the ice cream..

yup..
happy anniversary to me!

i celebrate my first year in this company today..
from where i was to where i am today, i am indeed thankful to Allah for all that He has bestowed upon me in my career path.
alhamdulillah, despite the heartaches and of cos the irritating pple/things happening here, i am indeed happy here.

and yes, despite us moving back to where my old company was (in fact, further actually), i still love my job..

for the flexibility (mana ada company kasi pakai bermudas/jeans and selipar pi keje), for the great frens/koligs/managers (despite the occasional irritants as i have mentioned) etc.

so CONGRATS to me for the amazing one year here and all the best wishes for the many years to come, insya Allah.

and till then, i shall remain the one and only… the greatest Nemesis (to whoever deserves it)

the main scope of my current job is to reply to all customer’s technical queries/problems, be it from US or from Europe or Asia.
altho it is via emails only, it can be quite taxing as the turnaround time is 24hrs and their GMT time is totally different from ours here in s’pore.

previously i was handling most of the replyings… be it from US or from Asia or from Europe, where Europe customers give the most problems. Problems ranging from sending emails in their native language to having emails with abusive verbs and vocabs all over.
pakkal lah aku tak boleh reply balik as wat goes thru in my head, instead i have to reply in the most courteous manner.
*sigh* the perks of a support staff…

anyways.. with new things implemented and to be implemented, my senior E manage to pull my crazy/senile/tua-nak-mampos-tapi-eksyen-muda new kolig into the team.
si dekni lah aku slalu bitch about tu.. we shall name him V.

now with V in the team, things are supposed to be slightly better kan?
well apparently not so lah.. even tho i cant say that he’s totally hopeless…
haiz..

dulu aku handle most of the queries kan?
so when he first came in, we gave him the US section cos they are much easier to handle.
tak susah sgt, and they always speak in english… DUH!

aku lak kena handle European customers and hari2, mesti ada customers yg email in their native language…
ada satu tu sapai maki kita sbb kita tak faham apa dia ckp.. NOT MY FAULT WAT~ he emailed in German..
then bila aku suruh translate, dia pakai online translator yg langsung takle di harap..

some of the sentences will sound like ‘my dead already have to answer mouse. i love to die this mouse. please give life to mouse my and all things ok all.’
ah ambik ko! i love to die this mouse eh…
org2 mcm ni lah kecik2 taknak mampos, then dah besar ganyut menyusahkan org.

Otak sakit sak..
tu otak sakit pasak customers.. otak sakit pasal team mate lain tau..

anyways as i was saying, i was handling europeans customer, plus sales queries, PR queries, marketing queries, web order queries as well.
ni semua tak kisah sbb si V kan baru masuk team.. so its ok..
lagipun sesaper yg handle US list, kena hanndle technical problems in the office as well.

then last month, E suruh kita switch lak..
dia handle European customers and i handle US customers.
suka lah aku.. lesser queries to entertain and i get to polish up on my technical skills in the office.

ku sangkakan panas ke petang, rupanyer hujan di tengahari… (eh betol tak ni??? aku ni main bantai jer tau… =p )
aku kena handle US list, abeh sales queries, PR queries, marketing queries, web order queries pun aku kena bantai jugak..
DARAH NAIK SAK!!!!!

nak cakap baru, dah tak pe.. dia dah almost 3mths in the team pe..
abeh bila aku tanya V asal tak answer, semua dia bantai I NOT SURE AH
NABEH! U NOT SURE THEN DUN WANT TO LEARN MEH!???!!

ni ke org umur 33 tahun???? *&^%&^&*(**&(^*(%*&@#$%^&*@#$%$#@##@#$%^

haaizzzzzz
nasib nasib…

———————————-

all not supposed to be in ofis till end of the week…

haiz.. lepas satu, satu..
at least its good… i dun have to see my “beloved” kolig.

*this is not an extract from the movie ‘10 things I hate abt you’, but this is REAL HATE *

i hate the way u SLURRRP your blardy coffee LOUDLY that makes me irritated to the max

i hate the way u laugh cos it sounded like u forced your heart and lungs and intestines out to make that loud laugh

i hate the way u think things are funny when they are not; maybe u fail to understand the matter in the first place

i hate the way u just talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk even when i showed you my IM-NOT-FARKING-INTERESTED-TO-LISTEN-TO-YOU face

i hate the way u tink that child care leave is a farking joke; u maybe farking around but u aint married with a child. or maybe u do have a child but u dun give a damn about

i hate the way u swear.. u’ll go like faaaaaaaarrrk one moment, FARK! the next moment, FARK LAH! the very next moment after dat. even after being told off, u NVR understand

u may be new to this but it DOES NOT GIVE YOU any leeway to behave that way.. for farking goodness sake! u are farking older than us!!! shame. please… start acting like one.

ok fine. im bitching.

i received news from my ex-kolig in HP yesterday evening after maghrib… our dear fren cum kolig, Jiyaudeen or how we fondly call him, Deen, passed away due to a heart attack 2 days back.

He left behind a wife and 3 wonderful kids… Innalillahirojiun.. we are totally saddened by his departure… he was a very dear friend and kolig… he was a mentor who never fails to cheer us up and pushing us to be strong… but alas, Allah loves him more.. he was called to be by God’s side sooner than expected..

the saddest thing is his youngest child was born just a few 6 months back… and his second child is only one one year 6 months old… i have not visited them but i was told that the wife was in a bad shape… Ya Allah, please give her the strength to carry on with this life and be there for her children.

I cant say im not affected at all just becos im no longer with the company… its the memories of working with the team, working with him makes it painful in the heart.. may Allah bless his soul… amin…

rest in peace deen.. i know u are in the good hands of Allah now… we will miss you…
