Broadway Musical

Yesterday evening, I had a phone call from Jaime asking me if I'm doing anything tonight and of course, I won't be doing much other than bringing home work to do. So, she invited me to watch the Disney Beauty & the Beast Broadway Musical at KLCC. She got free tickets from her sister and other than herself, her mom-in-law & her aunt-in-law are watching as well.

Since I'm worried that I'll be late to arrive Alan's place, I had obtain permission to leave the office at 5pm instead. Got to Alan's place rather early and rested a bit while playing with Gabby while she is fussing and laughing around. Had a light dinner at around 6.30pm as it was too early for me to eat much. Nevertheless, the dinner is simple home-cook and yet lovely, just a bit too spicy to consume to much in case my stomach cannot take it.


Looking forward to this as it's my first experience watching broadway musical. We were lucky there is not much traffic since we took the highway and pay thru a few tol-gates. We are early and just as expected... Malaysians are always never punctual.


The musical started at around 8.15pm as the Organisor would like the theather to be filled up and nobody will miss out on anything since it's not cheap to get the tickets. Despite that we have free tickets, I'm really honour that I'm sitting at the 7th-row from the stage. No video-ing allowed and I don't wish to do that as well since people do pay to watch it. And I enjoyed myself very much despite that it ended till quite late.

Career Transfer

Officially effective 1st June 2008, I was transfered to another department upon my request in May 2008 as I had enough of handling a problematic staff. Since I know she is also a personal favorite of my ex-boss, there isn't much I should stay-on in the department I'm not being appreciate for the hard work and effort that I had put in for the last 2 years. Furthermore, I personally feel that it's time I request for a transfer as I had indeed feel there is no challenge in just always doing the routine work for that matter.

I shall not brag on and on about the old-role... as it's going to be the past soon. Well, I still had to complete the old-case while slowly handover the old-task to another staff. This month, I'm handling 50/50 of both old and new department. But, to my much dismay due to some complicity of a "special project", my Corporate GM requested me to continue to hold responsible for this "special project" which forecast to complete by mid-year of 2009 and if things didn't quite turn out as forecast, it will be into the 3rd quarter of 2009!! And this easily will take up about 15-20% of my new role *sobs*sobs*

I did not regret for the request to be transfered but the comfort of my old work-place is very much missed by me despite that I only sat at my new work-place from yesterday onwards. My Corporate GM kept rushing me to move to my new place because she knows that my previous GM will continue to give me task to handle if I'm at his sight. So in order for him to notice my disappearance will only he realized that he shouldn't be asking me to handle things under his department.

Eventhough, I have nothing much to fear at my new work-place but it is still an open-concept work-place without any cubicles and my back is actually facing to my Corporate GM's room and we are divided by a walk-way of the main entrance into the 2nd block of our office-building. Thus, everyone that walked into this 2nd-block building can basically see what I do with my laptop and they can easily just haunt me from behind by leaning against the not-so-high cubicles. Hhmmm... pictures explains it all...

~ New Work-Place ~
~ The walk-way behind my work-place ~


Gosh... I can feel the soreness of my legs & backbone tonight due to yesterday moving, I had to move my files and things myself and I happened to wear high-heels to work yesterday. I had to climb the staircase from 1st floor at 1st block to ground floor at 2nd block for more than 8 times. Just so, I don't have to see the "faces" of the Admin cum IT staffs who are responsible for our "moving" each time we are required to do so. I rather do it myself and not see their "black-face" that they will give...

For a history-record, this moving is the 5th time while I worked for 2 years and 7 months in this company. It's crazy but this is how the company works. From cubicle-concept to open-concept and back to cubicle-concept and now again to open-concept. I'm not sure to laugh or to cry...

Dinner with church friends

CK bought us dinner before our CG meet-up at his place. He gave thanks for his promotion at work as well as his good-outcome from the court case that he supposed to attend.

We hardly take pictures when we hang out and this happened to be also WT's phone-camera that caught everyone's attention this evening when she offered to take a group picture before we dig into our food blessed by CK from God. Thanks CK!
