...Conversation with Handphone Salesman...

Wena : How long need to charge new battery ah?

Salesman : 4 hours first time. After that, every 2 hrs.

Wena : Wah! Sure or not?

Salesman : Yeah. New technology.

(After buying the phone)

Salesman : Hmm... maybe need to add one more hour to the charging time.

Wena : Eh! Why lah!

Salesman : Coz I don't think charger is travel charger so need longer time to charge battery.

Wena : How you know one? No label leh?

Salesman : This charger heavier. Travel charger lighter.

Wena : ...


Go figure.

...New Handphone...

Yep, went out and got myself one today. The Nokia 3100 is just out for the past 2 weeks. Got the white version from Wisma Saberkas. Just about the only white phone in all the shapes without the Chinese characters on the keypad. Very girlie phone, me thinks. Looks great at night too.

When there is an incoming call, the keypad blinks. Thought it was pretty cute. Sadly, the instruction manual was in Mandarin. Grrr... think the phone came from Taiwan. Anyway, thanks to Lolly, have now downloaded the English version.

Now, am waiting to see if there will be a cover that looks like Nokia 2300 for this phone. Love that cover lah!

Will probably get told off from parents for buying a phone instead of flying home! Ha ha!

...Uncanny...

Met up with a blogger and friends from KL.

Looks like Auntie Joan's sister's son. Hmm... uncanny lah.

He also knows cousin Ah Ban. Had the gall to write weird MSN messages to him that I presumably said. *Humph* No rest at the next family gathering. I hope that I fall sick then.

Just realised too that he might know Karl Erik Chee. IT Sales people should know other sales people... Presumably, of course.

...Supersaver...

Sigh. Looks like have to cancel plans to go back home to Miri this weekend. All the seats for MAS Supersavers are fully booked until 31 October.

Ah well. Will rethink about going back to Miri.

...Stress...

Stress has just got to be one one of the most bizarre health condition ever. How to get rid of it? Takes a long time.

Been in this condition since the beginning of September. Urgh... yep, it's work related. And the toughest part is getting rid of it. Takes me a few days just to get rid of it.

Sleepless nights. Low output productivity. Oh well.

Plus side is that I've lost 5 kg since then. Bad side is that I look permanently fatigue. With panda eyes.

Hmm... thinking of going home this weekend. If I can get supersaver. Wanna see the Balasingams. Haven't seen them in ages!

...Tapestry...

You know, there's something about fooling around with Flash proggies that is so relaxing.

Only thing now is to come up with a great story.

...Vitality Curve...

When I first joined my current company, we did not believe in firing people. Then, the Vitality Curve practice came into enforcement last year.

Sigh. Oh well. Then I perk up a bit when I read this posting. Felt a lot better but I wonder what will happen in the future? More importantly, will I be useful enough to survive in this environment?

In the beginning when I read Jack's autobiography, I thought it was pretty awesome. After awhile, it gets pretty depressing when I start to compare myself against his ideals. Especially after reading the book twice. That's when I stop reading management books. And that was like way back in March of this year.

I did buy the GE Fieldbook online to have a read but still haven't open it yet. Am still thinking about it. Not now when my morale is a bit low. Maybe later on. We'll see.

...Losing pens at the office...

This has just got to be the most irritating activity in the entire office. Am always losing my black and blue pens everytime I'm not at my table. Grrr... Then again, I'm not the only one.

Well, a few of us girls came up with a solution : using COLORED PENS! Haha! Seriously though, it works. I used shiny blue, purple, green, red, pink pens. Never went missing again. It work so well that quite a few of the guys are the office decided to follow suit.

The only downside is that I still have to use the normal coloured pens for official documents. Cheh!
