the working me

no pics to post cos i don't really like my uniform but am grateful that i actually have a uniform so that i don't need to think of wat to wear everyday =_=

i now work in San Francisco SteakHouse, under the Tai Thong Group (TTRB). Preopening kinda sucks cos it's really messy & stuff like that, but now, i kinda enjoy working there :) I'm a management trainee there so i kinda have a bit of "official power" now, unlike last time, i had "de facto power", which was kinda cool too. i have name cards too! it's on the way though, can't wait to get them & post it up here... i haven't had an off day since i started work on 4th oct.. wed would be my 1st off day for this week.

i bought a car! pics coming soon... i feel like getting my HP tx2 which i saw in harvey norman, cost bout rm2999... & i wan a blackberry too!!!!

this is funny la... :)

escape from alcatraz

After going to work for the 1st day, I came home with a headache, 2nd day as well but on the 3rd day, my head was ok but i was actually running (something I don't do)... this is why...



The job sucks, everyday is a routine - Call ppl come for interview, give spelling test, punch holes. dah la boring & have to talk to pee brains who "I tak faham English la..." & rude ass parents who demand to know why you're looking for their kid. must have screw up kids, that's why their so worried.

Sit in office ALL DAY - No clients to meet, no events to attend, nothing to organize, no name cards, no fancy stuff & NO PANTRY!!!!

Working hours SUPER LONG - sitting in the office all day doing something you hate from early morning to evening... seems like i went to work yesterday & am only coming home tomorrow :-(

No ME time cos I have to get up early in the morning, before i can see the sun, half an hours drive to work & the torture begins. Afterwork, it's evening & the sun is setting, by the time i go home, it's dinner time. after that, I take a bathe & watch TV while almost falling asleep!

No INTERNET!!!! how can?!?!?!?!?!? It's 2009!!!! where can like that?!?!?!?

it's like i'm doing the boring stuff that nobody wants to do. I mean how hard is it to punch a hole in the stupid A4 paper? there is more than 1 hole puncher & they have to look for ME specifically to punch a stupid hole in their single stupid piece of paper! i'm doing all the calling & all the spelling test. I did not even get any training on the stuff! how can they expect me to call ppl up & offer them jobs when i don't even know nuts about the job?!?!?

so i tendered my resignation. Initially I was just gonna make my case a NO SHOW & get absconded but then thought of giving them a piece of my mind since i'm never gonna step foot there ever again. but then again... we have that stupid 2 week notice clause & maybe the HR manager would be kind enough to allow me to go off since i just worked there for 2 days then... so i wrote a letter, just stating i would like to resign, no dates.

then when the pig faced bitch got my resignation, all she cared about was how i was going to pay them back!!! saying i have to pay back 11 days worth of salary!!!! hello!!!! i did not even state in my letter that it was my last day already ok!!!!

half an hour before work was over, i was asked to sign a stupid agreement saying i OWE
the company money!!! the stupid letter even said i requested for early dismissal!!! babi! dunno how to read English is it?!?!?!?!

So i grabed the stupid letter, packed my stuff & RAN!

I ran as fast & as far as i could... After i stopped running, I felt so happy as i did not have to return to hell the following day ^_^v

i'm working...

A) Resign
B) Curi-curi use the office PC for my own stuff
C) Curi the office PC ;-)
D) Buy my own laptop
E) Get rid of Big D ^_^ hehehhe

I will not be able to update my blog as often as I used to... :-( until then, pls help me pray I get accepted to do my Masters ya ;)

vacancies in the animal kingdom

If you follow my blog, you'd know i'm looking for a job. I've been for 4 interviews so far... the 1st was to be a teacher... still KIV cos the program only starts in august. 2nd was sales exec... quite ok, if i like sales that is. I HATE sales & commission based jobs cos i know i won't make a sale & i'm too lazy & pai-seh to go around ask ppl to "buy my product!!!" Somemore everyday kena go out... out=sun=hot=sweaty=stinky=uncomfy=NO! So i gave it a pass.

Then the 3rd job... haha, ad agency kononnya... they don't even have the usual departments of an ad agency... read the following : (big thanks to http://www.blurtit.com/q912839.html)

"An advertising agency has a very different structure from that of a regular organization. On a general front, an advertising agency contains five departments namely the account management department, the account planning (strategy) department, the internal services department (inclusive of the traffic department, the creative department, the print production department, the human resources department and the finance department) and the media-planning department."

However, vacancies were for Marketing exec, advertising exec, management trainee, receptionist & sales exec. now... where would these ppl fit in at the ad agency??? somemore, the signboard say it's DIRECT MARKETING!!!

oki, nvm... since we're already there, let's just go in & see what they have to offer. I applied for marketing anyway... Interviewer introduced himself as Barney & this came to mind : (NOTE - photos adapted from http://www.flickr.com/ credits to flickr)

my fav dinosaur!!!!

only thing is he isn't! face-to-face marketing is his speciality... not anything i learned in UTAR. (i minored in advertising). Face-to-face = direct selling! I hate those ppl! whenever they come pester me i shut off my doorbell & pretend i'm not home! if they're unlucky, i mock them. Me doing that??? then dun wanna tell me how much i'll be getting lagi... no PAF lagi... bodoh! then say i kena spend 1 day following his staff around to do "marketing". stupid idiot! marketing is the 4Ps! where got anything to do with going out to convince ppl to buy stuff???? dun even know what the Product is ok...

Then when say i kena follow his staff, no allowance lagi - free labour!! where can????

Big D say he thinks he's hosting a reality show. Then this came to mind...

He thinks he has a Barney & friends reality show...

So anyway, Big D said i dun have to go & i can tell him that LB or Burson Mastellar offered me a job :-)

Then "some other place" advertised for Customer Care Executice/Supervisor... STPM & Diploma required. So it seemed ok, an established org in malacca. Apply lo :-) call for interview. Big D was pleased & mummy say that donkey Rampal (somebody she knows la) works there & is earning RM1800 without even being sure if she has SPM. So sounded good...

D day came. Ask me to go at 2pm. Call this number when u arrive, said Ms Sa-ren (傻人). When i arrived slightly before 2, i called the number lo... I got this reply "Er... Sa-ren MC la!" cilaka babi betul... So Nvm, HR got other ppl running the show... this fella called Ms Pig gave me a form to fill in... SOP so ok lo, i isi borang, something i suck at (hey, even bank slips i get the counter ppl to fill in for me k...). After isi d, i had to call her lagi to give her my form... then she asked me to write an essay ok!!!! Siao ar???? i not applying to be english lecturer lei! babi betul... Nvm lo... write lo... after all, crapping is my speciality & essay writing is a breeze for me...

Then after calling her for the second time, kena wait so long... kan pig jalan lambat de... she told me my interview is at 3.30pm!!! what the hell??? then why ask me to come at 2???? Ms Pig reply : to fill up the form. HELLo!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not stupid ok!!!! which idiot takes ONE & A HALF hours to fill up 1 form???

cilaka betul... so wait lo, what to do... kena cut short my shopping time lagi. babi. Then finally i was allowed to be interviewed. There were 3 ppl there. One is donkey rampal, another is HR Pig & the last is Monkey from claims dept.

Donkey Rampal



Monkey Claims

HR Pig

HR pig browsed through my impressive certificate folder. took super long, sure la, cos i got she dun have ma... sure she so impressed that my STPM take 4 subjects but sijil only print out 3 hahahahah!!!!!!!!!!

Then Monkey started "talking"... Insurance claim coordinator cum receptionist cum registrar cum doc chaser. Chase rich doc to marry me can la, but chase him to fill in form??? fill in form for patients??? siao ar! i don't even do my own forms!

Then Donkey started making noise... Customer care is basically GRO. Smile at door, go airport to ask ppl if they wanna go to our company, go jetty do the same. fill up surveys & be annoying. I like being annoying but i don't like helping ppl to annoy me!

then i was so confused. Executive do this work kah??? they were like "no, coordinator & officer is what we're looking for".

Me :"then why did u advertise for exec when the post is not vacant?'

monkey & donkey :" HRHRHRHRHRHRHRRHR!!!! blame ms pig!!!"

ok lo, nvm... what's the salary like? none of the wild animals there were able to anwer me, even when i asked for just an estimate! My expected salary i put RM2200. They said it's unrealistic!!! eh, i already kuarang from RM2500 lei! Aim high ma... still negotiable wat...

Donkey : it's too high, it's unrealistic.

Monkey : ya, in melaka market, there is no such thing!

Princess : I beg to differ. I was offered a job at RM1950+++++ but i turned it down. You say unrealistic?

Donkey : But U don't have the experience.

Princess : No ExperiencE???

Monkey : it's all just part time.

Princess : that's because i was studying. If i had been there full time, i would've been promoted even before my 1st year ended.

Donkey : but it's different!

Princess : how is customer care different??? I've not only been is F&B, i've been in Marcomm as well ok.

Donkey : no no it's different! hotel no customers...

Princess : Hospitality industry no customers? die la like that.

Monkey : you have the qualification but no experience...

we need qualification to be GRO??? that's new.

When a dog barks, don't bark back. beat it instead! haha... cut a long story short. they can't even offer me RM1000... better i be a GSO in RMH ok... then after coming home, i realised why it is "unrealistic" to ask for RM2200. Cos Donkey's only earning RM1800. Sad sad her. She says i need 8 years experience to be an executive... O wow... I feel so insulted. management sent these low ranking officers to interview me. I'm more educated than them lagi... they dunno what they're taliking about... Somemore mummy says that rampal donkey is a lazy ass... I should be their boss ok!

So still jobless... but i have part time work tomorrow in RMH :-) my boss even coming to pick me up ok! so nice of him...

not so jobless - soon to be

as my followers would know, i'm a jobless grad. I've applied for countless jobs over the past month (actually only starting 1 june). Govt project had rejected my application, without even an interview session! I've applied in jobstreet, thru snail mail & also e-mail... My application to RMH is in KIV :( last year, i had a lot of offers, mana tau the economy go bust & now i have a tonne of KIVs :(

Apply in Jobstreet, mail & e-mail.

However, i got a call that day, so i went for an interview today, not my dream job, but whatever that allows me to buy my own wheels would do for the moment ^_^ it's in malim, a pusat tuisyen ok... under SLP media sdn bhd... it's a teaching job, teach mini monsters...

i was thinking more to teach uni monsters, kinda like a tutor... so off i went, with my Big D.

me & Big D



on the way there...

well anyway, it turned out to be a bit better than expected, not fully commission based... however, i'm not sure if i can teach mini monsters... we'll see how it goes, she supposed to get back to me in July cos the thing starts in August...

Then we decided to go buy fishies :) heheheh!!! so we went to the fish mall in malim.

balloon dreams

I went to work last Saturday & there was a wedding being held that day. It was more like an october fest there... Swing, Martel, carlsberg, red wine - free flow. Of all the tables, I had to take care of the ones with the October fest group. but it was quite easy as all i had to do was make sure they had lots & lots of booze without even needing to pour it for them :-)

since it was more of a fest than wedding, there were helium balloons everywhere... so I brought it home with me :) hahahahah!!!! I'm generally afraid of balloons, except water balloons cos it can get other ppl wet :-) hehehee... anyway, scared of balloons cos they might pop & scare me :( however, helium balloons are another category - fun! cos it can fly... so nice. I've always had a fantasy of collecting as many as possible & letting them lift me - then I can fly :) I also liked the idea of flying via umbrella, like Mary Poppins :-)

fly? no...

But for piggy sis, her fantasy is super different! She wants to let go as many of my helium balloons as possible! she gets super delighted seeing my helium balloons fly into the air & vanish into the clouds. crazy fella kept bugging me to allow her to release my balloons!!! babi took 1 of my reds & let it go ;(

sampat po...

she was so happy...

anyway, better to let crazy ppl have fun rather than let her harm me rite? Esp when she wants to kill wild animals & catergorizes me as wild animal!

another pair of silly shoes...

After my toes turned into some flesh shedding machine due to my WONDERFUL super BRANDED pair of buaya shoes, the terrible horrible torture tool from hell, I decided to change my regular working shoes to the shoes I had worn to office during my Industrial Training. It hadn't given me any problems then so i figured to give it a try. They're Alain Delon btw...

Alain Delons...

wa! mana tau these dumb pair of idiotic shoes are worse than the crocodile torture tools ok! it made my toes sore in half the time of the buayas!!! then, come home time the toe skin start to shed like autumn :( my special cream finishing already but my poor toes still not healed :-(

Anyway, this place supported me thru uni, paid for my rent, transport, makan and a few luxuries ;) started at 6pm saturday & went home at 1.30am. Sunday started at 8am for dim sum buffet... this week, mummy & Big D brought mama, ah ma, the bro & the bro's gf come makan. Oh ya, & mama's PA was invited as well... cos, kan she mama's personal assistant, kena follow where ever mama goes rite. wa... my mama such a big shot :-)
