Maybe there's certain things that I really shouldn't say it out loud, at that instant when I'm saying it, it didn't ever cross my mind that I shouldn't say it. I have to admit this is the "E" type of me.
(...yes stereotyping myself is what I'm really good at and enjoy doing...)
There is a big reason why this blog is 'private' and not for work-cllg to read... because corporate world doesn't really match well with my social/personal life.
Right now all I wanna rant about is me being so "E" to automatically reveal to teammate that I got the bank job offer, tho we're both hush hush about it. Smart fella he ask me for the bank interviewer contact... he took the liberty to email and even call up my future boss to arrange for an interview!
Here I thought I could escape from the company... well and also the people... but this cannot be happening!!! I cannot imagine if he really got the SAME job as me in the SAME bank doing the SAME thing! Gosshh....
Actually he's definitely uninspiring... one of the worst worker you can ever find, but I cannot tell him straight that I think he should buck up. He's already getting salt from the management, by getting 0% increment... can you imagine how 'bad' is his performance? Well good thing is, it'll make me look better than him... but I'd rather work with somebody like smarter / more hardworking / better attitude / more motivated at work!
I'm not a person who will intentionally take advantage of people, but its sooooo easy for me to screw him. He arrives in office >8.30am, go home <5.30pm, go out for lunch longer than me - consistantly. And he's terrible at pretending to be a good worker, by taking a nap at 10am... Yes he can just pull his chair near to the desk, laptop screen lowered, as if as he's looking very closely at the monitor, but his eyes are closed. I sit beside him i know lah! What you want me to do? Wake him up? Or become like the kpc to private msg the big boss?
This cannot happen!!! Now I only wish that he don't sabo me... cos I haven't get the LO yet. It didn't occur to me that he'll ever sabo me, his only naive wish is that we both resign together. Yes I jump he jump. I hate that phrase.
My dad just gave me a scare when I told him abt this... cos dad kutuk me for being so stupid to always dunno how to keep my mouth shut. Deep inside I know my cllg will not harm me... but I cannot control what's beyond my control.
Anyway.. I will keep on sending positive energy towards all beings.. even if its to my current teamlead & managers. They're not harmful... I just hope that things don't get complicated next month when I return from HK.
Nobody at work will be expecting this from me. I'm like playing poker in the office. Question of what happen should there be a counter offer? DOH!!!

Hmm...
Hmm... if you're wondering who's the schweird girl that called me out of no where, she was my secondary school classmate. I wonder what I can say to her on the phone when she narrated about her unreal story about her ex-boss mind-reading her & claiming to be jesus? Maybe I should directly enrole to join level2 of the BGF counselling course!
What is counseling?
Counseling is a process that enables a person in need (PIN) to sort out issues and reach decisions affecting his life.
It involves talking with another person in a way that helps the PIN solve a problem or helps to create conditions that will cause the PIN to understand and/or improve his behavior, character, values or life circumstances.

It is not about giving advice (*should remember that*). It is about helping and supporting a person in need to find an understanding and answers that work for that person. Counseling is a friendly, supportive and positive approach to personal development.
~*~
No regret, I skipped the past life talk at BGF to be home watching the closing ceremony of beijing olympic. Very very interesting! The pretty qibao the ladies wore -- i want! Esp the those worn by the medal/flower ladies with flair skirt... so cool.
Somehow I have high hopes for China (economy wise)! Although I speak like a Malaysian and feel totally Malaysian... I wish I could wear the traditional chinese baju & understand 华文.
Broadly speaking... I wish for China, India together with East Asia, South Asia & SEAsia to move or challenge the world.
Finish crapping... :P

Random words
There's alot of words that went through my head... most of the time. From the moment something happened, I would think of the words of what to blog about when I get my fingers on the keyboard.
Like how do I link up all the schweird people and how do I deal with them?
How do I talk to this ex-classmate who would call me up again and start talking about jesus christ being chinese and brandon is jesus christ and he really is. What has got into her mind? What caused her to go insane? Is it because of her past life karma? Why is it so hard for schweird people to differentiate the real and the unreal?
If you say, ignore. Don't bother. Don't care. Ok so next time when the phone starts to ring (since you didn't save her number), you don't know that schweird people will call, you just answer the phone.. and when you realised its her "ooops!" *click* -- duutt duutt duuttttttt.....
Of course its easy to do that... do I want to do that? Why don't I want to do that?
When my teamlead ask me to do things, anything, I will just agree to do it.
My teammate would start saying "I'll do what you're asking me to do later, I have got my things to do first..."
...then he make that face for me to see. Why have I never talk like that to my teamlead (nor to anybody) at all? Seriously... what my teamlead would suddenly ask us to do adhoc-ly is not difficult, most of the time instructions will be given, all I gotta do is just do it. Simple.
I don't have a proper topic to write about now... maybe for fear of those schweird people reading my blog and mis-interpret it their own way, and somehow I just don't have enough patience to deal with them.
I am so impatient, I can't paint a pebble. I used to be able to paint / draw in school, but it takes me longer than usual to complete a piece of artblock. It takes alot of energy and time to paint the perfect picture. I liked art in school... I think I still appreciate art now... but I have lost my patience to time, that I don't remember when did I lose it.
The art of time management says that prioritise what is 'important' first above what is 'urgent'. But what is 'important'? What is important to me today, might not be important tomorrow. My mind is so random, I can manipulate my own mind. If I have a clear mind, I can even see how easily it is to manipulate others.
For example, I don't like talking to my mom, because she likes to pick on me on all the wuliow petty stupid stuff that you will be so annoyed with her. You bring home some rocks and you might want her help to paint the rocks, but first you hear complains about how stupid it is to get rocks, so heavy, so much work, so many to do.... then you bring home paint & brushes, and you just say a few words like "maybe you can try paint like this one (show sample), see if you can paint nicer than this?"
There she started painting... so nicely. Taking out her old art-book samples...
This evening, painting adjourned to BGF. But when I got home with the paint & stuff... it was already near midnight, thought mom should go sleep. I knew it that one sentence that I could say, would make her sooooo excited... "I asked Dtk to pick the nicest rock, you know which one he chose? Neehhh the one you paint one the one with alot of petals very big the one!!!"
I think it didn't take more than 5 minutes.... she took out the stones... and the paint and brushes... and started painting.
*yeah its 1am now she's still actively painting on the other table not disturbing me*
Words could hurt, words could flatter. The choice of my words could influence the listerner, to recieve it sourly or to take it sweetly.
I guess I have to remind myself of the intention inside my head... sometimes to me words doesn't matter (although it has always put in hot soup)... because I can say something sweet & nice to hear but there's ulterior intention to please you, there's also the crude & unfiltered hurtful remarks that I could simply babble without intention to displease you.
What's my point anyway?

Activity-Oriented
"I'm not looking for a do-er, I'm looking for a thinker" ~ interviewer said.
That prompted to reflect, if I have the iNtuitive preference which makes me think so much endlessly inside my mind, then why is my temperament high on choleric... the "doer"?! The personality-temperament test also say it's contradictory to be both high choleric - phlegmatic... can I be both a doer AND and thinker? What do you think? Maybe you'd think I'm more of a do-er eh?
Since I ask so much & wonder off in my random thoughts, sayang thinks I'm a thinker generally.. but with work/ activities, I'm a do-er. The fact is that, I cannot sit and 'do nothing'. Sometimes I wonder, what happens if my heart just stop beating one day... due to never-ending pumping. Cos all batteries have certain lifespan.
I was transported to sayang house oneday, without bringing my laptop nor any materials along... and I had to do nothing... hmmm.... I rest on the mattress but took out my handphone and starting sms-ing.
Every night at home, if I'm not out for mtg, then I'll open the laptop go online... do anything! Settle the DnD tickets? Process the photos? Post up a blog? Why is it that I can't live a moment... without doing something?
Even if there's really nothing to do anymore... oh there sure will be something! Clean the house.. read the book... arrange my clothes... clear my bags... the list goes on.
Now am I a do-er or what?! There's endless things to do...
- the new house
- the DnD
- the sun sch student trip
- the weddings to attend
- the 3rd issue of newsletter
- the idc
- the kathina
- the photos
- the website
- the membership system
- the publicity
- the job change
- the plan
- the olympic
- the funds
- the insurance
- the trip
...
..
I hope I'm still normal! But I'm not complaining if I'm not normal ;)

OMG New Kids On The Block -- Summertime!
I've heard 'Summertime' a few times by now on radio, pardon me for my lag.. cos I was kinda not in tuned with radio fm, the usual kancil my mom used to send me to work takda radio & I hardly drive now! First time I heard 'Summertime' by New Kids On the Block on radio... at uptown, I was like *speechless*... my fingers holding my jaws... and since my mom was seated beside, I gotta behave.. and I can't scream with voice.. so I just screamed ala-Ally Mcbeal.
And amazingly, I could STILL scream over New Kids On the Block! This morning, on my way driving to temple, I was rushing *as usual* but suddenly lite fm put on NKOTB! And the song?! da da da da dum.... I'll Be Loving You Forever..... and I am still this crazy old me. Then I just sang along... you know the whole lyrics of the song?! Yes.. I can sing ALL NKOTB songs... come to think of it... hey why not dedicate this song to sayang! Hahaha. I used to think I'm singing the song for Joey Mcintyre, doh.
Yeah
I'm not that kind of guy who can take a broken heart,
So don't ever leave, I don't want to see us part.
The very thought of losing you means,
That everything...Would go down under.
[ Chorus: ]
I'll be loving you forever
Just as long as you want me to be
I'll be loving you forever
All this love's for you and me, yeah
(I'll be loving you)
I'll be
(I'll be loving you)
Loving you
(The things you do)
Yeah, it's forever
(I'll be loving you)
I'll be
(I'll be loving you)
Loving you, yeah
I count the blessings that keep our love new
There's one for me And a million for you.
There's just so much that I want to say
But when I look at you
All my thoughts get in the way
[ Chorus ]
We've come to far, to ever turn back now,
This love will last forever...
I can see it all now!
Somebody please hit me! Wake up wake up! If only there's internet when I was 12 or if there's youtube when I was 15... First thing first... youtube got so much crap inside there, just one search and oh my ggoddddd. As crazy ridiculous as I may sound, I wished that the 'Summertime' video was not so provocative with near naked lengluis seducing the 5 guys... really cheesy sleezy mem-per-wuliow-kan a nice tune / song. Ok ok.. actually the lyric also wuliow... but I actually liked the song minus the sluttiness of it!
Here you go... see if you have any idea what I'm zoning myself into, before there was Backstreet Boys or Take That -- New Kids On the Block ruled my life. I'm still hoping and wishing that one day, I'll be able to meet them... all 5 of them, and I will keep my composure... cannot be like the siow cha-boh who simply couldn't breath or cry infront of them and couldn't even utter a word!
OH ya... another thing... my all time favourite NKOTB member > Joey Mcintyre! When I first heard 'Summertime', I thought the 1st verse is Joe! Woww! *ahem* Well JordanK is always singing the lead but Joey gets to lead other songs too! The youngest... the cutest... the voice... the capricon (im virgo), the I-would-faint-if-I-see-him... Joey Mcintyre!

Interview and mom
I better blog a quick one before I head off to a frenzy Fri-Sun. I went for the As interview this evening, only to have the interview contact person ON LEAVE. Then I waited till a little past interview time, and the guard finally got somebody to pick up the phone, and asked whoever to come out to greet me. So I waited until no mood liow.. a chinese guy with one tiny earing on his left ear came out to shake my hand... and said his name. AND I totally can't remember his name. His tag is always covered.
I'm expected to be interviewed by 2 indian guys but why am I talking to a chinese guy? Hmm.. so anyway the whole crap abt the As interview, is just like how Mudz (already cleaning shit in As) have warned me -- NOT to take it up, to firefight or clean shit. Imagine being hired to lead / drive a whole new asset mgt system from zero... well infact negative zero. It's already in a mess... how to start from zero? Actually a big part of me is saying -- GO for it! You love challenging yourself... you want to be like a consultant, and go fix other ppl's problem and you like to do that! Why are the circumstances stopping me?
The craziest thing that came out of my interview today is not about the interview, but about my whole new inspired self -- that I want to change! Errr... not that drastically, but I want to go speak to my teamlead abt new roles and ask for transfer! Never ask never know! I was even telling myself, heck go ask for transfer to Spore temporary also syiok wat... I'm so sampat that its 2.40am now and I'm still online.. to just finish off all my todo-list.
Closed 2 epf investment sales... so abit semangat for myself... was hoping to close my cousin sis dca investment, but I don't have any maybank autodebit form left! ISssghhh... tomorrow... Fri when I go HQ uptown to submit sale gotta request for more autodebit forms. Meanwhile at uptown, I could also settle the legal fee payment. *I just enjoy killing multiple birds with one stone*
Oh ya.. the motivation for writing blog was initially about my annoying mom... again. I just don't know why I have to 'react' to her, because all she's trying to do is just to "talk to me" but I can't engage in any meaningful normal conversation with her. NOT when she goes
(before leaving the house for interview)
- "your hair ah! Why do something to your hair?!" *keep running faster out of the house*
(when she's folding the clothes and I'm seated nearby in the hall, suddenly..)
- "so you don't like the As job right? you must make courtesy call to say you're not going for the second interview if ever they call you back ah... ppl so good call you for interview.. you dont like you must call back ppl to say you dont like..." *i didn't say I don't like job*
(when she ask me to write 'attention to raymond' on the envelop)
- "WHY YOU WRITE LIkE THAT?!" huh?
- "So rude! You should write Mr... after so many years you dunno how to put Mr.?!"
(when I took the liberty to give 2 biji durians to neighbour since our hse got so many biji)
- "why you so kaypoh go tell people you want to give them durian? nevermind, since your aunty is not coming tonight, you can give the durians to neighbour..."
- "WHAT?!? you gave only 2 biji? HAIYOOOO!!! Dunno how to give dun give la! Where got ppl give 2 biji durian!!?"
*faint*
I feel like blaming myself for being such a no good daughter who dunno how to talk to her mom nicely, but on the other hand... I wish I don't have to talk to her ever & she don't come ask me why I don't talk to her.

When You Look, What Do You See?
When it comes to understanding people, I really like to source for information. Just as I'm doing that, I also realise that's a "P" characteristic. Always open for information, very inquisitive and not conclusive. Unlike the "J" who likes to have things settled and sorted out.
The MBTI just went through my mind like a real life experiential learning, as I try to understand the human-human communication / relationship. Esp between me the N & P with those with prefereble to perceive things through Sensing and react to the outer world through Judgingly. And how I wish I can always remember these tips on communicating more effectively with S type.
Here's extract from this article about WHEN YOU LOOK, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
SENSING
-Can’t see the forest for the trees > hmm..
-Comfortable with what is real
-Drawn to the past for understanding
-At work likely to give "perspiration" > I don't sweat in office...
-Sensible, practical, realistic
-Wants specifics and facts
-Prefers an agenda; sequential
-Values practical application
-Relies on direct experience
-Relies on evidence
-Orderly and predictable > so not me
-"If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!"
INTUITION
-Can’t see the trees for the forest > so me!
-Comfortable with what is possible > yes
-Drawn to the future for visioning > c'mon on let's dream...
-At work likely to give "inspiration" > ya ya...
-Imaginative, speculative, idealistic > so me!
-Wants general concepts and themes > yes
-Prefers freedom to brainstorm randomly > you bet!
-Values discussion of future challenges > I think so
-Relies on hunches and imagination
-"Break it and make it better!" > possible!
The ingenuity of the intuitive is to vision and imagine better possibilities. The ingenuity of the sensor is to adapt the ideas of the intuitive to practical usefulness. Each needs the giftedness of the other. In conversation, the Sensor hears what it said; the Intuitive hears what is NOT said. One tends to be the thinker-upper, the other the getter-doner.
TIPS FOR COMMUNICATING MORE EFFECTIVELY
To communicate more effectively with a Sensor:
Give specific examples. Follow a clear agenda. Provide detailed information in advance. Emphasize the practical aspect of the project. Give facts and details first, then the big picture. Use an orderly, step-by-step approach in presenting information. Compare new concepts to established, customary ideas.
To communicate more effectively with an Intuitive:
Show the Big Picture first. Allow them to share observations and insights without judging them negatively. Appeal to their need to be novel or unusual. Expect them to digress from the agenda. Allow them to discuss implications of the present for the future. Use poetic, imaginative language with analogies and metaphors. Understand that their communication style is roundabout and indirect.
Do you associate mostly with other people of your perceptual type, N or S? If so, cultivate friendships with your opposite. I have learned much from my S friends about how to mange time, organize errant paperwork, and how truly gifted they are in the logistics of planning and completing work. They tell me they have learned some useful things from N friends, such as, there is more than one way to look at a situation; when you don’t know what to do, stall for time; and dreaming about the ideal situation can sometimes help produce it!

The Designer
Cheng cheng cheng! Introducing the floorplan of my new house! Guess what I used to draw it? That's right... Paint. Would inspire alot more to use Visio, ahh.. the joy of the sketching out building and space... no wonder I thought I'd become an architect when I was younger. Take note though, its not to scale, cos I've only seen the place once and didn't do measurement then. This is purely whipped up through my imagination.
...ground floor...
...1st floor...
I wish I can do 3-D design using the computer, I used to take the subject 'Rekacipta' for SPM, supposed to learn AutoCAD but like err.. not-qualified female tudong teacher first time teaching this subject.. so err... forget it. I took that subject thinking I'm so gonna become an architect! Heck, even at my 1st INCOVAR at the 13th IDC, in one of the experiential-learning workshop, thought I was convinced I can still become an architect one fine day when I'm 40 years old!
Ya don't ask me why I end up in UPM and doing CC Engineering la... got la civil engineering and landscape architecture... but not same mah! Also got the parents factor as a kid.
So back to the house, sayang was thinking of breaking down 2 walls. I err... more into looking at the whole budget and money part. He said he's gonna be the interior designer, ok actually we both have really keen eye on design, but I realise I'm more "P" and he's so "J". It just dawned on me, he's so "J" and I'm so "P"! *if ur blur, go study mbti*
I couldn't even decide what is my favourite theme for a house concept, I can't even tell which colour to go where, or what type of cabinet should go for the small kitchen. Or whether hacking the kitchen wall is such a good idea, or hacking both walls. Or having lacy curtains or having bamboo-ish stick curtain. Or as simple as WHICH bedroom should I take?! Which one to convert to study room?
Oh boy... is there a solution to being "P"? Ya... have a boyfriend so "J". Haha... but with regards to the homeloan -- ocbc it is.
Aspire to think Big!
Wow.. look at the market. This is just one of the graph for one of the client, for a local balance-income fund (not aggresive). I was telling my upline if only I sold off the units before 2008 then can get 30%! 
But she said "we can never Time la!". That's the theory that I learn, which I mostly agree about investment, which is to go for long-term investment and using dollar-cost-averaging to help me keep sane with the yoyo market.
I'm honestly not cash rich enough and not ecomonically sound enough to risk in the volatile stock market. I also don't know how to buy-sell properties like Robert Kiyosaki. So what I do is keep RM200 aside everymonth into a fund with one-goal in mind, make the money grow until when I'm old!
I must always remember why I must do long-term investment -- retire at 55 & my epf balance by then will not be enough if I were to live until 70 years old. Factor in my suka travelling + many hobbies... havent even talk about charity! Imagine if I can become a tai-tai with alot of cash to do alot of Dana anytime! :P Like in future, when INCOVAR think about asking for sponsor, they think about 'auntie quek'!
Hmm.. do I dare to think big? Well maybe just a little bigger than my current small contented brain? I'm just sooooooooooooooo complacent, I don't seem to set smart financial targets for myself... why not?! Wouldn't you really want to bring your mom and munyee+his mom to Europe holiday together? Wouldn't it be cool to have just a little bit more in your asset, so that you don't have to argue with your dad about petty household expenditure? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to give your parents more than what they're asking for? C'mon MJ -- I need a little push here -- you aspire to think BIG!

My f***ed up country
Well its pointless to rant about the gridlock in KL last Monday, more so because I was not caught in it (reason why I choose location over better reasons), but I sooooooooooo cannot tahan what my country is going into.
Constantly glued on Mkini.com... it is sooooooooooooooo pathetic what the BN-government is trying to do. Who the #^%^$^%&*@!! care if a 60-year-old man raped a 23-year-old tall young man?!! Oh they say sodomy is big sin in Islam, punishable to 20 years in jail if convicted... oh you means that's WHY the government has no other proper intelligent way to stop the opposition from taking helm? No wonder the BN is scoring its own goal.
Too bad I didn't listen to the debate live on TV (went to bgf support dr. cky talk), but I wished the media, the people, the parliament would all seriously look into the impending economy crisis. We're all wasting so much effort, so much publicity, so much time wasted in roadlocks due to stupid politics and to rub salt into wounds... they're not talking about how to tackle the heart-attack composite index?! Just let it drop further and further?!
Just let prices sour? Just ignore the relevent points brought up in the debate? Why the government and the Sbah/Swak MPs got no balls? Just read world economy news and I don't know when to press the panic button or if I should already be panic!
Anyway... I have to learn to release my air inside my body... cannot keep getting sucked in feeling like the stupidest fool being a Malaysian.
I don't even care if there's a street protest right now, I would just march on the street like all fellow 90% of the urban folks who voted for opposition on March 8.
Screw the governemnt.. screw BN!
