Finally...

I’m officially resigned as an analyst programmer from the bank today.. what a big relief.. so much procedure to follow -_-“ I should have clear all my leave before resignation =( but it’s too late.. I thought it will be used for off-setting.. but what HR told me is that.. my leaves were forfeited due to request for an early release and 2 months compensation waiver… I’m like OMG!! T_T .. 7 days leave gone.. sigh.. my last day will probably be on the 29th or 30th July.. and start working on the 1st August. I did had a short discussion with brother.. both dad and bro discourage me to go Saudi Arabia.. and that leads me to conclude that I’ll be staying at Malaysia, but probably will move from KL to PJ.. I wonder what it is like working there.. hope it’s better than my current job =)

I'm uncertain...

I see another turning point in my life soon.. but for sure it’s a good one.. better than staying at the bank.. I got three choices now and I’m going to choose one of them :

1) Analyst Programmer, Converting UNIVERSE to JAVA
2) Analyst Programmer, GLOBUS treasury system
3) Database Administrator, System Support

Frankly speaking, even myself having problem deciding. There are too many things to take into consideration. Things like money, career advancement, interest, learning opportunities, family, safety, lifestyle and many more, and few of them are not predictable, which makes me hard to jump into conclusion. -_-“ Well mayb I’ll try listing out the pro and cons and perhaps some expect can shed some light or advise/comment on this. Actually it’ll be the 1st and 2nd , the 3rd one will definitely be out since I don’t have any interest in it, so here it goes :

1) Analyst Programmer. Location : Malaysia
Salary : Slightly higher than current pay
Career advancement : I see chance of improvement in this job as it’ll allow me to learn JAVA, which at least enable me to update myself with more up-to-date programming language
Interest : The interest is mainly JAVA and insurance knowledge since the task involves insurance system.
Learning opportunities : JAVA again and insurance system structure.
Family : No issue on this.
Safety : No issue on this.
Lifestyle : Required to work long hour, maybe a change of location.

2) Analyst Programmer. Location : Saudi Arabia
Salary : Same as above or higher, but an additional USD 50 a day.
Career advancement : I’ll stick to UNIVERSE, cant promise better career as chances of getting another job are hard..but not impossible.
Interest : Not much interest in the job, only $ attract me ^_^ and the opportunities to go abroad.
Learning opportunities : GLOBUS and banking knowledge.
Family : May not be happy about it, but if I insist, they’ll still allow me to go.
Safety : Not sure about the safety there, but according to my colleague, there are soldier guarding the working place.
Lifestyle : Required to work long hour, to be allocated oversea, not sure on whether it’s adeptable.

Personally..i think it’s the battle between $ and career enchancment, that’s what make things hard !! Sigh.. headache.. -_-“ Maybe I’ll have a short discussion with my brother and father on this.

A weekend worth sharing.. ^_^

Finally.. after staying home for the past few weekends.. here's one worth sharing.. no doubt it's kinda troublesome organising a small gathering.. making sure all are free.. setting date and venue.. and worst of all..queueing up for the movie tickets take me an hour plus.. nevertheless.. its worth it ^_^ I did something stupid by buying an extra ticket -_-" nvm la.. haha.. altogether 7 ppls.. Kit Yee, Siew Kheng, Ye Fen, Kim Hoong, Wai Hoong and myself went to KimGary for lunch.. Yunn Yi joined during movie time =) We went for the movie Initial D ..hehe. a nice and funny one.. after the movie .. we proceed to have a drink and chat for a while before everyone leaving.. well.. i think it's more meaningful than sticking to the PC at home la.. haha.. guess i'll have to come out often =)

I'm going to resign ...

I sent an email to all my superior regarding my resignation and enquire information on the possiblity of reducing the 3mths notice. Well.. I got positive feedback from them.. the head of department are willing to help me on that without paying to the bank =) Would like to take this opportunity to thank the two superior of mine, Norilah & Alice Tan for helping in every aspect =) Kinda appreciate it. I havent tender the letter yet, advise from them is that I should sign the offer letter first then only submit the resignation letter.. it’s a big relief to know that it’s possible to leave the company earlier, at least I don’t have to worry about compensation on the 3 mths notice. So.. I’ll just have to wait for the employment letter and once it’s ready.. it’s bye bye to the bank ^_^

2 phone call...

1st one.. a good one.. Recieved a call from that company this morning that they are willing to pay 1 month for me =) But cut my pay by rm100.. anyway.. i dont really mind about that as it's better than staying at the current working place.. I expect the new job required to have long working hour.. as they day i went for interview it's already 7+ pm most of the employee is still there -_-" sigh.. is it a must for IT line to stay back late?? Guess i'll have to sacrifice some dota games once started working there. It's time to concentrate on work.. buckle up and update myself. Mh..there are many things that come into my mind.. first..current employment, i'll have a word with the bosses tomorrow on the resignation thing.. 2nd.. transportation problem.. mh..the office is kinda far from my place.. wonder if it's ok travelling here and there daily, otherwise i guess i'll have to move to somewhere around PJ.

2nd.. a bad one.. a call from a close friend of mine.. he just wanted to look for some friends to talk/share.. mh..can heard that he's very down.. well..how true is it that girl just cant stand loneliness? anyway.. no point holding back someone if he/she's not willing to commit.. guess not all the girls are like that ..and hope all the girls are not like that too.. i didnt talk much during the conversation.. just knew that he's not happy.. and i just tried to cheer him up.. anyway.. still manage to give him a few laugh :) but i can sense he's not happy la.. but i appreciate him for calling.. he did mentioned that.. sometimes he envy single ppl like me.. mh..but i'm kinda disagree with that.. i think it's only applicable to those who experience a bad relationship.. someone with steady and happy relationship will feel pity for me.. anyway.. i've been single and searching all the while LOL .. i've been through ups and downs.. and only myself know about that.

Headache la >_<

Good news!! That's a high chance that I'll be given the offer... Bad News!! The only problem is that they are not willing to wait me for 3 months.. Conclusion??

1. I take the offer. Resign and pay 2 months salary to the bank.
2. I reject the offer, stay at bank and wait to be fired.

If i were to choose between the two, i'll go for the first choice.. cant deny the pay is higher.. but it still cant cover the 2 months salary that i have to pay. anyway.. the good things is that i got the chance to do what i like to do.. converting the whole universe system into a J2EE system. At the same time working/learning on JAVA. Well at least it help me to upgrade myself instead of sticking to the same old programming language. In terms of benefit.. of course, bank are sure better.. but i dont mind as long as there are things to learn.. things that i like.. ^_^
By the way.. once i confirm, i'll try to discuss with boss to see whether there's anyway to shorten the period of notification on resignation instead of paying back to the bank. Hope that things goes well la.. having bad headache now.. sigh...

Another interview coming...

Still no news from the previous interview.. sigh.. maybe it’s because of the 3 months notice issue.. anyway.. there’s another opportunities coming.. actually this is what I’m looking for.. employ as a UNIVERSE AP and then participate in upgrading the system to J2EE.. that would be more interesting rather than doing the same old thing. Nothing much happen lately, been at home for the whole weekend..didn’t went back for father’s day, but at least I called ^_^ Did mentioned to him about the interview and instead of hearing his voice.. I heard the so called step mom voice shooting out like a machine gun >_< Tommorow is the day.. I don’t think any preparation is required.. started to get used to the interviewer’s questions.. anyway..hope that things goes well..

It's just nice to know that ppl do care ^_^

Mh..another post to express gratitude to the friends that really care ^_^ Thanks for the help on job hunting, showing direction , advise and concern ^_^ I've got another interview coming next week =) It's just nice that friends do assist in job hunting.. father's day coming this sunday.. not sure that i'll be going back hometown.. maybe yes..maybe no.. brother not going back because he's having training session.. i wonder what dad will think of me if i didnt go back -_-" hope he dont mind la.. :)

Updates on Interview

I went for the interview today :) Took the LRT to Kerinchi and met with the interviewer.. I'm not sure about the outcome, but chances are there.. but the only thing is to require to travel to Saudi Arabia -_-" My personal point of view.. i think it's not a problem, as i'm willing to go and explore other places.. not sure about the condition over there anyway. Well..let's wait first, it's too early to think of it :) After the interview.. i went to movies with Leong and Wai chai. Went for Batman Begin.. mh.. nice movie..should buy a dvd for collection liao :) ok la..kinda tired.. need to get some sleep.. Zzz

Time For A Change ???

Just met with representatives from the EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) section.. had a discussion about the internal transfer opportunities with them, basically to understand what’s their job function and whether or not I’m really suitable or interested on the job. All the while, I’ve been doing programming, I had limited experience in dealing with users and peoples, in other words.. my communication skills sucks..LOL. Well.. the job function is mainly on coordination with users and vendors and project management tasks, which I don’t have much hands on experience in it. Frankly speaking the interest is there as there are new things to learn, things that do not involve programming, things like inter-personal communication skills which I am really poor at, but how well can I adept to this? I’ve always wanted to improve on this but somehow just don’t know where to start. I guess.. it’s time for a change.. time to overcome this weakness which haunted me for a long time. They did gave me time to think about it. Although I’m not sure whether they’ll take me in or not, I find no reason for not trying as I don’t see myself going anywhere hanging around like this. Anyway.. I’ll try to convince them that I’m interested on the job and let them decide on the recruitment. Wish me luck ^_^

Brand New Week..

Time : 12.38am
Song : How am i supposed to live without you T_T
Mood : Normal

Well..here i am again.. it the middle of the night.. updating this blog of mine ^_^ It was raining this morning.. i always like rainy morning .. but getting up from the soft comfy bed is a big problem ^_^ I was supposed to go for an appointment this morning.. having a discussion regarding the internal transfer.. but the boss there have to attend to some production issue..so it was postponed until further notice.. good news :) Leong a.k.a Dotablack found his job.. start working this friday selling padini clothes at genting ^_^ next time whenever i feel like wanted to buy clothes..have to find him liao.. got 30-40% discount.. hehe.. he's been staying here few weeks.. kinda get used to it already, when he's gone.. it's gonna be me and Hoong left haha.. it's gonna be quiet and lonely.. anyway.. i think it's time for me to work hard le.. getting old.. getting worry.. hope it's never too late to start moving...

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Good news for a good morning ^_^ After a long whole week waiting for respond on previous interview, finally receive a call from the agent this morning.. will be going for an interview with her client next Friday ^_^ Hopefully things work out well by then.. most important of all.. hope that I’ll get the offer ^_^ mh..time to revise back my job..so that I can be prepared for this coming appointment…wish me luck !

Moody night...

Mh.. I dont know what happen.. just dont feel comfortable.. not sure whether a song can influence someone mood.. well.. maybe a few songs can =) Been listening to heart breaking music lol.. some really touch one's heart.. ever hear a song until tears flow down ur cheek?? i did ^_^ and sometime feel kinda nice crying once a while ..but make sure you did it without anyone around =) Today.. i saw a malay girl crying in the lift.. kinda wondering why?? for sure it's not tear of joy.. from my point of view.. making someone cry won't feel better than the one crying.. why? well.. because i did that once.. and it hurts myself real bad.. and because of that.. i learned.. learned to care how others feel and learn how to tolerate.. i rather be the one shreding tears than the one making oneself cry.. sigh.. it's going to be a sleepless night.. what the hell is wrong with me? -_-"

A small and happy gathering ^_^

It was a great night yesterday.. and I’ve never been this happy for a long time ^_^ Thanks to these friends of mine for willing to sit down and have a few drinks with me.. My buddies.. Chin Chai, Wai Hoong, Kim Hoong and Tuck Meng ^_^ These guys are just great.. Well.. we went to careffour for some liquor,coca-cola and snacks haha.. cheap one though.. cheap but effective.. so we went back and mix a bottle of 1.5m Cola with a bottle of 750ml “Mai Kong” LOL Never heard of the name before but the name itself already put a smile on my face =) We then proceed to the playground downstair and settle down for some gossip =p Sigh..when it come to gossip.. it cant run away from this “Tzyy Yang” the so-called longest friend I knew in our group.. yet the most hatred, annoying, pathetic, cunning guy among us. LOL sorry for being sarcastic ^_^ I just cant find anything good to talk about him.. Too bad.. I had most of the liquor.. the rest just had a few cup and guess what.. the first to throw up is .. Ah Leong LOL .. and Meng already blur with a cup or two -_-“ Needless to say.. Hoong and Chai are fine by just talking most of the time.. and as for me -_-“ I just go challenge around LOL and in the end, I’m the first one going back upstair, went to washroom and puke.. ^_^ Kinda suffering.. yet found it worth.. well.. I’m not sure what happen next as I’m already asleep after washing my face ^_^ Just knew that it was 2am by then and they are the one who will do the clean up LOL . Lucky I’m good enough to wake up for work today ^_^ Well.. I got respond from other section head.. one from the DBA team and another one from Special Project team. DBA team are willing to accept my transfer and will arrange a discussion section with me, while another one will revert back to me soon.. Mh.. kinda wondering which one I should go for.. anyway..the good things is that..at least I’m not jobless.. ^_^ I’ve checked with the agent yesterday.. there are still chance for my dream job..to travel abroad as a developer.. just that the client havent revert back .. Really wish to get the job.. but it’s beyond my control.. I’ll just have to leave it to fate ^_^

Internal Transfer ??

My boss is helping me to look for internal transfer opportunities -_-“ Kinda appreciate her for assisting on that.. Frankly speaking.. I have no problem with her.. instead I pity her sometimes as most of my senior didn’t respect her much as a boss.. especially the two big senior.. There are a number of vacancies available.. but not in my field.. I wonder I should give it a try.. but how confident I am in a field with 0 experience ? What if the job require sound knowledge on certain area which I don’t have? Sigh.. well.. still waiting for section head to revert.. hopefully some of the vacancies suit me well. -_-“

Another week passed..

Mh..it was a busy week.. been working during agong's b'day too T_T thanks to the ambank and amfinance merger project =( never really had a nice weekend.. well.. at least i got something new to write at my resume =) Sigh..there's still no news from the previous interview.. maybe i just dont have the chance.. i'm just hoping for an opportunities.. y is it good things never happen to me one =( few of my colleagues resign after getting their bonus.. everyone got 3 months plus bonus.. but i got nothing.. so sad.. last weekend i did my first security trading transaction ^_^ earn a bit la.. going debt free soon =) cant wait for the day to come.. after that..life will gets better =D hope so..

A Good Day..

Went for interview this morning at Wisma MCA , 20th Floor. Right beside my previous employer Malayan Flour Mill Bhd. ^_^ Mh.. the office now looks better than the time I work there ^_^ Thanks to my comment to the HR Manager during my resignation that the working environment sucks haha.. Instead the HR Manager did told me to pay her a visit at the new office. Erm.. anyway.. I think I did something right for my ex-colleague. Yeah.. about the interview, actually it’s a recruiting firm.. looking for candidates with UNIVERSE and GLOBUS knowledge ^_^ Just gave them my resume and have a short chat regarding the vacancy. The job required to travel oversea.. frankly speaking.. I don’t mind going abroad.. instead.. I’m willing to travel around.. ^_^ Well.. hopefully there’s some respond .. God .. if you love me.. make this happen ^_^ Let me be employed… I’m just sick of staying here T_T
