its not easy...

... after tendering resignation letter.

1. you get awkward treatment from some colleagues. they would say you are 'action' aka boasting because of higher pay in elsewhere. well u dont need to tell them u are going elsewhere for higher pay. thats the reason why humans are going after all.. dont get me wrong, but my team is still treating me nicely, m directing this to ppl from other divisions.

2. your access in whateva system will be limited. in banking / finance line, your supervisor/boss will have silly mentality that you might save some information and intentionally provide / 'sell' it to the future workplace. anyway its a big offence and might end up behind bars la.

3. eventhough your manager would like to give you a short task to be completed, but the other manager will disagree with it and recommend it to another person. hello, doesnt mean tendering resignation means you will be treated like an alien. sitting down doing nth izzit?

well.. thats what my manager and i are experiencing because he tendered few days after i did. this wasnt planned, just coincidence.

if i am supervising a few staffs, and if they resign, i wouldnt wanna treat them awkardly or try to 'kenakan' them before they leave. i would be happy for them because they are expanding their horizon in elsewhere. losing a staff doesnt mean you will not re-employ them forever.

this industry is small because everybody knows everybody (in this case, everybody is liasing with everybody within the financial institutions), therefore go with a light heart. you might not know if you need others in the nearby future.

my very first item bought through online. i saw this more than 4 yrs ago in a magazine, and then in one of boutiques in bangsar and i have no idea where to get it. finally.......
there are 12 compartments for 12 pairs of footwear. more room space without stacking up 12 boxes of shoe and no hassle opening it to see what you have bought before.

my first time!

taken xray ... and nurse laughed coz i wore it like kimono style which obviously was the wrong way to wear it.

urine test ...

nurse stared and asked fiercely whether did i sleep with bf when i said i cant remember the date my last period came, but it came in oct! she has a look which interpreted as "you stupid girl, you dont know your own period cycle! you must be sleeping with bf!"

doc said "at age of 26, time for you to get marry".
"no potential candidate", i answered.
"this is the problem when ppl are working in banks, go to work b4 sun arise, leave office after sunset", he replied.

doc touched my breast ... and he was hesitating on a lump, i studied his facial expression, he moved his hand to other part of my chest and back to the lump. felt relieved when he said "ooh its not that!". phewww.

if i take the job offer, i will go to work by LRT! you will hear hatred words come from my mouth towards the public transport!



can.i.cry,
*dont wanna take the sometimes-unreliable public transport*
*no more wearing proper nice footwear if i use public tranport*
*my face pores will be covered with air pollution*

my virtual trading

i took leave for 2 days.
i woke up early just to play the virtual trading.
unlike last time, even the sun came out to play, i ll still be sleeping.
m excited and could think over the night on what to trade.
study which stock is a good buy at night.
hehe.

given rm100k, i only bought 2k of CIMB and few other counters.
dad said "i thought u bought 10k! only 2k, insignificant".
even though its just a virtual trading game, i m still cautious.
maybe i wanna be risk adverse so that he wont laugh at me when the stock portfolio shows losses.
sigh.

---------------------------------------------------------------
other than that virtual trading, i have been going out and stay in and go out and stay in bla bla bla.
as i was watching my hk series at 230pm, i got a call regarding an interview.

caller :: can u come tmw?
me :: i cant (... cant take leave since i took for 2 days)
caller :: hmm
me :: do u work on sat?
caller :: obviously no. can u come next wk?
me :: what time.
caller :: 11am
me :: what about lunch time?
caller :: i need to eat.
me :: ok. today.
caller :: today? are u sure?
me :: yes, today anytime.
caller :: 5pm.

so tada.. and i made a mistake in the interview


interviewer aka caller :: do u know financial ratio?
me :: yes i do.
interviewer :: so what kinda ratio do researcher see report.
me :: EPS, dividend yeild.
interviewer :: then
me :: asset ratio.
interviewer :: huh?
me :: izzit asset ratio
interviewer :: i m asking u and u r asking me?
me :: ooh quick ratio.

interviewer :: for high growth company, wanna give dividend but cant. what do they give
me :: right issue
interviewer :: huh?
me :: izzit right issue
interviewer tak nak layan me.

called a fren to ask for d answer. its bonus issue, not right issue.
i felt stupid.
right issue always appear in my mind at the moment coz i have a stock to take care of and its about right issue.

i will always remember bonus issue for life now.

*buat malu sahaja*

i feel that getting an interview for a job in investment industry is tiring.
gotta read up on the current issue in the newspaper.
half of d paper is related to investment and economy.
i took the business page and read it up in the train on the way for d interview.
and for all the interviews i have attended, gotta write an essay or do a small test.
essay title that i got last year in job application is "what do u think bout the current economy?"

today i had to choose between these 2 titles.
1. what makes the financial crisis?
*seriously all i know is that lehman brothers and never interested to read about them, even the fall of enron also i didnt read.*

2. do you think KLCI will be 1400 or 900 points by year end and why?

i opted for the later one as its easier and last week i flipped in the newspaper that many research houses predict it ll b above 1400. and 1400 and 900 range is significant and easier to justify. if ask me 1200 or 1400, obviously way too difficult to write.

never mind if i didnt get thru. i learnt an expensive answer ie bonus issue, not right issue as i have said and i really felt embarassed.

first virtual stock trading challenge game.

so what is the title all about?

upon reading the article published in sat's STAR biz page 2 mins ago, i was excited.

you can actually trade stocks virtually. this sounds so cool. i used to do that for the 1st six mth i started working, by writting on a piece of paper what stocks i bought, price bought/sold, and if i could make profit by 4th day. but right now i dont really have the time to do so at work or/and i dont know what to trade as the market is unpredictable, eventhough its a virtual trade.

http://210.19.197.146/trading/terms.html

i really wanna participate in this game, however one of d rules and regulations stated that

11. Inadmissible Players

a) Staff of ECM Libra Investment Bank and ChartNexus Sdn Bhd are prohibited to participate in StockQuest@ecmmoney.com

b) License holders of Suruhanjaya Sekuriti are prohibited to participate in StockQuest@ecmmoney.com

c) Employees of Partipating Organisations are prohibited to participate in StockQuest@ecmmoney.com

this sucks big time.

you ppl should learn to trade virtually first, then when you are confidence and have the purchasing power, you may go into the real market. the challenge period is from sept20 to oct22, trade stocks and track your investments thru StockQuest@ecmmoney.com during official trading hours 9am-5pm, lunch break at 1230pm-2pm. each participant will have an opportunity to trade with a virtual sum of RM1o0k. winners will be based on the profits generated during the 1 mth period with RM10k cash as first prize. RM10k can make you buy good medium/long term good stocks for real, but obviously not in big bulk of quantity. cimb stock is rm7+ now. its gonna climb and dont be surprise if it reaches rm13 again.

i wonder who came up with this out-of-expectation idea. the fella must be playing lots of virtual online games i guess. and the big boss of among all the bosses is amazed with the idea. lol. ;)

my silly bro just doesnt look interested when i told him that. what a loser.

tmw m gonna glue my eyes on a particular stock which i couldnt get hold of on fri. thats one of the worldwide fav stocks. msia stock market is getting international attention. ooh yeah goldman sachs also actively invest in our stock market. if a company or individual investor purchase in big bulk, theres a need to inform bursa. and bursa will release a news on who is acquring/disposing with the date and quantity.

come try the ecmmoney virtual stock trading. lol.

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!
