It's a saturday!!! Not that i don't like work.. but saturday means i get to chill and just hang out. ;) A colleague just came back from Swansea a few days ago, so last night after work, a whole bunch of us drove to Hartamas to party and celebrate his return. Wanted to go to Bar Med, but the place was just freakingly overcrowded until people were spilling onto the road! So, we headed to Finnigan's instead. There was no music, coz it was more like a pub kinda place. So just sat and drank and drank and drank... :) We managed to consume 4 bottles of Jack Daniels. Everyone was pretty high... especially yours truly...hehehe... Getting high in front of my workmates for the first time. Furthermore, one of our induction class trainers came along too and she was pissed drunk man!!! She was just spouting vulgarities left, right and center! And telling us stories of her b'day where she got pissed drunk as well. Hehehe... Also, managed to find out a lot of things bout work and office politics. All in all, just don't get involved in it. And if you're unhappy about anything, don't tell anyone coz you never know when the person might backstab you. And five of us from my process were just sitting down and talking and i kinda told them about agnes. And they told me that it's probably jealousy that's making them say that and the fact that her trainer is ramesh whom they already dont' like. Sigh.. anyway, we kinda made a pact among the five of us and agnes that we'll stick to each other and back each other up no matter what. I mean, we're all in the same boat, no point back stabbing and bitching bout your colleagues. Sigh.. all this politics... don't know how i'm gonna survive out there... with me being so blur most of the time. Wouldn't even know it if someone was backstabbing me. Time for me to be more observant and keep my eyes and ears wide open.

On a happier note (also work related), my work was error free for one whole week!!! Quite an achievement considering CARM is forever changing and opinions differ from India to UK to M'sia. And... my name got mentioned by Mark Seymour during the 'clapping' session. So quite proud la.. even though must play being modest and all.. but inside..hehehe... personal glory!

Went shopping today for some new house stuff. Moving to SK this month already. Will be shifting my stuff over tomorrow. Bought new bedsheets, a rug, towel etc.. Can't wait to be filthy rich, own a really nice house or condo, so that i can start buying stuff for it. Just love shopping for house stuff. Bought a few clothes as well. 3 tops to be exact. Forgot to buy the black skirt that i wanted. KLCC was freaking packed! Pretty hard to move around. Sometimes wish that i was so rich that i don't have to worry bout the prices of things so that i dont' have to crowd with other people during sale times. Oh well... hopefully that time will come soon enough!

Met Janice at KLCC. She's doing her masters in finance in MIM - Malaysian Institute of Management. It's a part-time masters so she'll be looking for a job. When i heard that, i started thinking whether i should be doing a masters now itself or not. I mean, i started thinking about the time when i was so sure that i was going to do my masters abroad and get a job abroad as well. But now, my values seemed to have changed. And i don't know if it's because of the relationship that i'm in right now. That i opted to stay and get a job here is because of him. Or is it because i really want to work here for at least 2 years before continuing with an MBA? I mean, that's what i tell people... but i'm not really sure if that's what i really want. Sigh... now i'm feeling really confused and messed up. I mean, if i take a masters in finance or something like that, then i would have to work in some financial shit. And do i really want that? Coz i dont' think i have the knack for it. I think i'm more cut out for some administrative job or something like that. Partially why i'm opting for an MBA as well. Sigh... i really don't know... if only someone had all the answers in life for me. Like i could just ask "What should i do now?" and i would get my answer immediately. Even Farrah and Annie going to Cambodia to volounteer work for the people there made me confused for a while too. I started thinking if i should join them etc.. but luckily i came to my senses and realized that kind of stuff just ain't for me. It was the thought of working for the UN that made it appealing. I wonder how a person gets an administrative job with the UN... hehehe... :)

Guess i'd have to sort out myself soon enough. Whether to stay and continue on with my job and study later... or screw the job and study now. Somehow, i think i'll procrastinate till it's too late and i'll just end up with the former. Procrastination's such an evil disease...
