Wow it’s almost 2008! It is always at this time of the year when everybody will start to reflect back on themselves on what they have achieved for the year. I must say that I have learned a lot from work, and also gained a lot of new experiences along the way.
Christmas is just round the corner and everywhere you look is a reminder of the coming year-end and new year holidays. You can even feel it when you go to work, the “holiday mood” is just lingering in the air.
Oh! I have just moved to my new office which is located just 1 floor below my previous workspace. I got the window seat this time but it definitely has its own pros and cons. What’s good? Well I get a view and also a window for me to decorate, lol. What’s not good? I am basically working facing the window..hence my back is facing the office “highway” which in turn equals to little or no privacy. People walking will know what you’re doing on the computer for sure.
W00t! can go for shisha tonight. But first we will be going for a play titled “Aladdin the Pantomime”. Hopefully we’ll make it in time and hopefully it’s good.
That’s all for now, just one short update before I get back to work.

FUCK it has been a busy busy busy week.
Will be moving to a different floor at work by the end of today. So on Monday I will no longer be on the 16th floor, but 15th instead..hahaha ya ya I know..1 floor lower only.
This whole week has been a mix of me trying to finish up as much work as I can before we move down and also going out for dinners, thinking of what gifts to get for the coming birthdays and Christmas. Which reminds me, I still have a parcel to send out to the UK by this week! Shit that is going to cost me a bomb, at least RM150 - RM200! Damn.
Hungry now, guess I'll go for lunch first.
Cheers!

Picture blog!! I know I owe you guys some pictures so here they are! Laptop somehow decided to work again (woohoo!)
First up..
Great week that was :)
First up..
Go-karting pics!
Live & Loud 07!!
Great week that was :)
Shaggy rocccccccccccccccckksss!! \m/
Went for the Live&Loud '07 on Saturday and I must say it was amazing! We were there since 4pm (event started at 3pm) and it was such a different experience.
Maybe it was the nice weather, or the big open field, or the kick-ass stage. Everything made me feel like I was in a concert in a foreign land. Nothing beats the feeling of lying on the grass with blue skies above you and live music playing around you.
Highlights of the event were Shaggy and Whitney Houston. I must say that I enjoyed Shaggy's performance more. Whitney Houston's performance was a let-down. Maybe it's age, but whatever it is, it didn't live up-to par for me. Plus they didn't allow us to take pictures during her performance. (read DIVA)
Pics to come!
sorry for the delay, I know i still owe go-karting pictures, but my laptop has been down for almost 2-weeks now. :(
Ok, now back to work!

It's Mondaaaaaayyy once again.
My weekend was pretty fulfilling :) Friday night we went for dinner at The Curve and then after that went to The Scarlet. I wasn't really in the mood to be drinking and all, so I just spent most of the night standing there nodding my head and sipping slowly at my Vodka. Was still fun though.
On Saturday, my car's battery died :(
On Sunday I had a blast. Went GO KARTING!! OMG go-karting is SO much fun! Went to the Shah Alam track with baby, Christiana and Andy. The track was pretty spacious with a nice mix of tight turns, long sweeping turns and a long-ish straight. They had 3 types of karts to choose from. 80cc, 100cc and also a double-seater kart (so cute).
All of us went for the 80cc as the 100cc might prove to be quite a handful for us noobies. Jessica and Christiana went for 1-round but Andy and myself, we went for 2-rounds! I could've stayed there the whole day but damn expensive lah! Must seriously organise some sort of group event and book the place for an-hour or two.
Karting seriously damn fun, I was sliding all over the place! (noob mah) but luckily never spin out, just managed to kick the tail out and recover. Next time must push harder, until I spin or something.. haha.

Good day everyone. I've noticed that my readership has dropped by as much as HALF! HALF!! where have you guys gone to? tak mau baca my blog already ah?? I know I've not been updating much but stillll... what happened to brand loyalty?? blog loyalty in this case.
Big changes this month, more so from December onwards now that everybody has a day-time job already. Sigh speaking of work...work work work.
In this post I will attempt to describe what's it like to be working in a billion-dollar multi-national telecommunications company. What are the ups and what are the downs. Most of you might already have an idea, but what the heck.
I will start with the cons..
1) Politics - this is inevitable. Big or small, every workplace will have some sort of politics going around. The difference being, in a big company the politics is SO THICK, you can almost cut it with a knife. You will feel it the moment you carry out your job. Best thing to do is to avoid politics if you can, but somehow one way or another you'd have to face the music and confront it. Things such as managers delegating most of their work to you, snakes who'd take all the credit for your work, the relationship between your co-workers and their managers (read favorism, biased opinions)
2)E-mail - is your best-friend and also your worst nightmare. Everything you do has to be in black & white just to cover your own ass. But in doing so, becareful of who receives your e-mail, especially those in your CC list. Alot of damage can be done.
3)Gossip - is almost as bad as politics. Becareful of how you interact with the people around you, watch the things that come out from your mouth and never take it seriously. You'd be surprised how fast things can travel through the grapevine.
4) Benefits - probably the only good thing about working in a big organisation and the only reason why some people stay in the same company as long as they do (5-years, 10-years). Things such as free medical, maternity, subsidy on your expenses such as fuel, phone bill, meals. Company share options, performance bonuses.
As good as it may sound, these things will definately only keep in you in same company for a long long time.
*breathes* It's almost 2am now and I am blogging about work..blah. My mind is getting tired just thinking of all the things to say..I'd better stop here and start DOTA-ing :P

OMG been REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY busy for the past few days. Thanks to my new job scope. Bye bye creative and hello merchandising. zzzz.
Deepavali is just 1-day away but somehow I don't feel the Deepavali "vibe". Feels like just any other week, except for the fact that this week will have 1 less working day. w00t!
So, since I have nothing much to say, here are some random pics :)
Hail!!!
Ice-kacang from the heavens
Christmas 2006

Sooo... I just got back from the hospital not too long ago.
My mom's operation went well thank God and now she is recuperating.
Hence I am back at home now. Will be going back to the hospital later in the evening or
probably some time after dinner. The doctor actually kept her uterus and ovaries in a bucket..
I'm contemplating whether to see it or not, but I am somehow curiously drawn to it..probably
because that is where I was conceived?
Anywho...
Bought myself an early birthday present yesterday...hahahah sorry Alvin, cannot drift RC with you lah, not this month at least :P
But why are there no pictures of the iPod switched on?
=.= iPods and Apple products in general are supposed to work right out of the box! Which is how one of Apple's marketing campaign "It just works" came about.
But my iPod Touch did not turn on out of the box! In fact it didn't turn on at all! And when it did, the screen was ALL WHITE! @_@
Fucking potong stim lah I tell you.
Anyway, gonna bring in back to the Apple store and have them exchange it for a new one.

OMG I SWEAR TO GOD A'FAMOSA RESORT HIRES THE DUMBEST TELEPHONE OPERATORS ON THE PLANET!!!111
Here's the story..
I booked a bungalow for the rave on the 27th this month. I booked on Tuesday and the girl then promptly faxed to me a form for me to fill-in my credit card details which I will then fax back to them. BUT, the form came in abit too dark...So I called up and asked for another copy. IT NEVER CAME.
The next day, I called up again and this dude answered. He suggested I give him my e-mail so that he can e-mail the form over instead... here is how the conversation went:
Idiot1: Hello Afamosa, Reservations
Me: Hi, I would like to make payment for my reservation...bla bla..my form too dark..bla bla fax again..
Idiot1: Ok sir, why not I e-mail the form to you?
Me: ok sure!
Idiot1: Your email sir?
Me: gee ee arr eh elle dee two two at gmail dot com
Idiot1: Gmail? not Hotmail? Gmail? are you local sir? Malaysian?
Me: =.=
That e-mail never came. So I called up again
Idiot2: Hello Afamosa, reservations how can I help you?
Me:Hi, I would like to make payment for my reservation...bla bla..my form too dark..bla bla fax again..e-mail never came..blabla
Idiot2:........
Me: hello?
Idiot2:. . . . .
Me: HELLO???
Idiot2: Hi yes sir!
Me:Hi, I would like to make payment for my reservation...bla bla..my form too dark..bla bla fax again..e-mail never came..blabla
Idiot2: ohh, yes..hello sir...
Me: =.= *click*
Called AGAIN after lunch

Idiot3: *giggling giggling giggling*
Me: Hello?
Idiot3: *laughing in the distance*
Me: Helloooooooooooo
Idiot3: yes hello sir
Me:Hi, I would like to make payment for my reservation...bla bla..my form too dark..bla bla fax again..e-mail never came..blabla bla bla bla
Idiot3: Ok sir why not you just give me your credit card details here and I will fax you the receipt once they payment goes thru
Me: *hesitant* ok sure.. my credit card number is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bla bla
Idiot3: Ok sir, I will fax to you the receipt once payment is done.
