green or orange

upon reading the front page of THE STAR ystday (thurs) on JHO,

me :: why didnt u send me to maz international for preuni? so that i can mix with middle east and korea ppl. and i will have gd contacts of ppl by now.
dad :: i should ask why grandpa didnt send me to middle east to study!!!

i would say JHO, the guy who became famous overnite, is smart in choosing his directions of life. ;)

just like how ananda krishnan, our maxis, measat, astro and tanjong boss mixed with the right ppl. hes one of the top10 successful tycoon here. by the way after maxis listed in klse market last nov coz our PM hinted "we must attact foreign investors to contribute to our country by listing huge firms in the stock mkt especially our telco". so indirectly hes hinting to mr ananda. after listing his baby maxis in our klse, he decided to privatised baby measat, astro and tanjong; these 3 stocks ll be delisted la. thats the speculation and highlight going on the whole wk in klse mkt. ;)

today theres a client called up and asked "what happen to tanjong stock?"

so dee-dee-pui. today is d 3rd day delisted and now only ask. i was busy and said "its suspended (meaning nobody is allow to trade.. not even PM. lol) till today 5pm, next mon only can trade . then client "harrrr?". i said "newspaper said so!".

i was rude, but cant help thou.

he didnt believe and phoned 30mins later to colleague's extension to enquire d stock. eventually colleague asked me and i said "suspended till today, mon can trade". i think client heard over d phone. clients think m stupid or what, hes not confidence in my answer! so dee-dee.
------------------------------------------

superb busy for 3 days from monday at work till i lost my mind on which is my toothbrush when i wanted to brush my teeth before sleeping. i asked myself "which is my toothbrush, orange or green?". i took orange and as i was brushing my teeth "i guess this is d right one". then next morning before getting ready for work, i decided to try the green one and as i was brushing "this one isnt mine i guess, its too soft, but heck la, m half way brushing!". then in the night i still couldnt figure out which is mine. i took all 4 and asked parents which are theirs. conclusion :: either orange or green is my bro and mine.

i mumbled to myself and repeated twice "the problem is still back to square one, which is mine, orange or green?"

mom answered "green is urs!"

o-kay. i took the wrong one last nite.

so, where to?

for the past 2 days, it has been hectic coz colleague wont be around till this thurs. ystday i was tired to visit pavilion during lunch. today i managed to squeeze some time for a trip to pavilion and its paid off coz i bought some stuffs. i packed my food from downstairs even before lunch. "who cares if client wanna trade stocks 7 mins before lunch, m gonna grab my food!"

at 5pm-ish, i checked my phone and only to realise that i have received 2 texts. one texted at 1130am asking for lunch. another texted during lunch to ask how am i.

gave a called to a fren
me :: did u see stock xxx flew after lunch?".
he :: so did u buy? 1000 or 10000 stocks? you told me before bout xxx, i have been checking it out.
me ::are u teasing me, u know m totally broke to buy. i wanna buy also no money la.

then our conversation diverted to business partnership where he talked bout it mths ago. we gonna talk face to face bout that 'biz' this week.

he :: u r the perfect person for this, but man.... u sucks sucks SUCKS big time
me :: i know. my chinese rite"
he :: yes ur chinese, can u go and enrol to chinese classes at d moment. u really sucks in it.
me :: i can talk in BM to d clients.
he :: the clients hate to speak in BM. dont tell me u r gonna say "nak beli berapa? sepuluh ribu? seribu?, pls go and enrol to mandarin class!


should i be semi-self-employed at this age? does it outweigh where am i standing now?

i guess taking the risk now is better than in coming years. coz if it fails at my early years, its not late to move to other path. hmmmmmmmmmm

From California to Korea.

I should update ini silly blog with pictures while sipping a glass of juice (i really don't know what kinda juice, maybe orange with... eer.. no idea) on sunday afternoon. By the way, dad told me "theres juice for you in the fridge" after I had a plate of spagetti.

I gave a treat to mom to watch Nanta's Cooking. Go check out in youtube and net whats all about la. I saw the advertisement in the newspaper a week ago and I told myself "hey, they are here for the 2nd time. Why don't I go since the response from their 1st visit was overwhelming, and why on earth would they come here for the 2nd time?"
Venue :: KLCC (perfecttttttttto)
Day :: Friday nite (double perfecto, after my work)

Firstly we went to California.



*Daughter gave a treat to mom to watch Nanta's Cooking because daughter is dying to watch it. Therefore mom had to have dinner with daughter before the show*
*Morroco Salad i think. That green vege, peanuts, pumpkin, tomato, avocado, cherries and chickkkken. I love the chicken, maybe they put some spices and drugs into the chicken, yummy. It was sooo yummy that mom eventually made salad at home 12 hours after she had salad in cali*

*6 huge slices of pizza shared by 2 person. Initially I thought there are 4 slices, coz other tables had 4. Maybe the signature dish - BBQ Chicken, is meant to have 6 slices.*


Then, we "flew to Korea" by our feet.
*I went to "Korea" to watch this show. Before the show started, there were some words written in English, BM, Korea and Mandarin to keep the audience occupied by making us cheering, clapping and even sing Birthday song to the master chef coz it was written that his bday was on that day*




*Above and below pictures are the only 2 shots I took during the performance. My full concentration on the show. ;)*






*The cast, arent they hot and pretty!?!?"*

Mom pestering me to take their pic. Quick Quick. They are out here.


Trust me that there are many Koreans around KL. ahjumma, ahjussi, unni, noona, dongsang, oppa etc etc. I felt like I was in Korea in KLCC that night.

I was disappointed and angry when my pic taken with them was blur because of wrong setting. Damn la.

Yes, the show was better than STOMP! Nanta's Cooking props are way better than STOMP! It has story line, and it was entertaining. The audiences were laughing, and so did Mom.

I texted my piano teacher "I have just finished watching the show, you should watch. Worth watching. Just ditch your students in your house, tell them you will be back in 2 hours time tomorrow. If you don't find the show entertaining, I shall teach your Grade 1 students theory".

Piano teacher went to purchase the ticket an hour after she received my text. 24 hours later, I phoned her to ask how was the show. She was happy and it entertained her!

Everybody is happy!

;)

Mom's Bday.

Celebrated mom's bday in 'my Elephant' - Thai food.


*Starter - Verdict :: So-so only. Nothing special and it isnt in line with the price*

*rice being served on the nicely cut banana leaf*

*my Elephant only serves brown rice*

*vegie*

*Salad - Pomelo with 3 prawns, ikan bilis, dried chillies - Yummy*
*friend told me the mango salad was nice, shall order that in my next visit*

No picture taken on the Tom Yam. Too lazy to snap it as my momentum to eat was built up.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh.

funny peeps.

one thing i like bout my job is the interaction wit clients.

some are too demanding that it turn out to be a joke for me.
me :: mr xxx. u wanted to sell xxx but its not done at 4.10.
mr xxx :: really??? then tmw u queue at 4.50.
me :: 4.15? 4.50?
mr xxx :: (repeated either 4.15 or 4.50)
me :: huh?
mr xxx :: (4.15 or 4.50). ok? BYE! muahahahahahahhaha!

i was laughing hysterically like hyenna after putting down the phone - 4.50? that uncle is known to very demanding on stock prices.


some can give up coz the stock is getting superb low and its rather not to sell and to hold it so that in future, handsome profits can b seen.
me :: ystday i queued at 0.30. cant get.
(the history of this particular stock - bought at 1.90+, then it goes down terribly for the past 2 mths coz something happened, all the way down to 0.60, then 0.40, then 0.30)
client :: muahahahahahhaha. if like this, i dont wanna sell.
me :: yeah. although it ll b delisted from NYSE, but it will be transferred to chicago board, and u can still trade it. will be more tedious to place your order to sell, but still can trade la.
client :: yeah.
me :: maybe the price will sky rocket in 10 years time. this stock can be a long term investment.
client :: at first i bought this stock to gamble. now it need to be an asset. i think need to wait for 20 yrs.
me :: haha.
client :: haha.

world cup 2010.

i hate holland coz i like brazil.
i hate germany coz i like argentina.

2. klcc harrords. havent been to the klcc's one. loser-nya.
3.
4.
5.

------------------------------------------------

as usual, i flipped thru my favourite (what a financial freak person... no i m not anyway... m just exaggerating that its my fav one) newspaper at work around 830am while another hand occupied with a pen to write my reports. i always read the newspaper while doing the reports before boss comes in coz i dislike when ppl read newspaper before me and messes up the newspaper pages. even at home, i ll insert the pullouts into a one fat thick newspaper before i read. anyway back to office-story, so on fri's headline on bottom front cover was something to do with genting malaysia yada yada yada.

slight before 930am, a client called.

client :: hello? where is xxx(boss)?
me :: shes .. shes.. shes at the washroom. what can i do for u?
client :: who is on the line?
me :: amanda
client :: what happen to genm?
me checking the price :: HAR!!!!! why the price goes down like this?
client :: ya, m asking u.
me :: hmmm..
client :: u go and check.
me :: ooh.. i think genm is acquiring casinos in uk. but i dont understand why the price ll go down. i thought this should be a good news.
client :: izzit? not casinos in usa? genting usa.
me :: genting uk. i read from the newspaper just now.


boss returned client's call.
boss reads out the news to client:: yada yada bla bla ding dong yada yada. the price goes down coz of genm acquiring casinos in uk yada yada. my girl told u just now rite.

u see, by just reading the headings or even the first paragraph in any articles will do.

boss mood has been good!

scenario #1.

boss :: who is free to bank a cheque for me? (turning her head to colleague and i)
colleague and i quite occupied.
me :: u r very free.
boss smiles cheekily :: amanda, u bank in for me. u r more efficient (she praises me coz she needs a favour from me.. i know)
colleague mumbles and smiles :: wah, u dare to say boss is free.
me :: hahahha.


scenario #2.

boss wasnt in the room and i told colleague i want to have beer badly and asked her to join me. then boss entered the room and heard us.

boss :: why? wat happened?
colleague :: amanda wants to go pub to have beer.
boss :: ask XXX (the client i referred to in previous post). if u ask him, he will surely go.
me :: dont want.
boss :: or u ask ur frens to join and ask him along.
me:: dont want.
boss :: why not?
me :: dont want. i dont want my frens to be in the limelight.
boss :: u said u dont like him therefore ask him to join ur frens and u.


scenario #3.

i was doing boss's claims.

me talking to colleague :: gimme a client name for boss's entertainment claim.
colleague and boss named :: use client XXX name.
me :: har. him again?


but seriously its a waste that the client is old. if he isnt, i could have 'tackle' him and dont need to work my ass off in the working world. hes quite a fast thinker from a few phone conversation i had with him. i told him today that he needed to sign a form and told him the logic behind it. before i could finish the reasons to get the form sign, he understood. unlike a silly lady today, i explained to her twice ... , she still couldnt understand and said "i still dont understand, but just email me and i sign la". that lady is a blur sotong. i saw her before and i know shes a lady with confused-character from the way she fills in the opening account forms - multiple errors and gotta give her a few new forms.

last sunday i asked dad if i can dont work coz m sick of working. he replied "cannnnnnn! unless u find a rich husband".


-brazil vs holland today-
m going for the samba boys!
