Princess Lilue

Shock ! Horror ! My friend emailed me in a frantic yesterday, saying that she was given a 3-day notification of termination.. what??!! They've got to be kidding.. anyway, she is..was under a contract term, which should ended 1st August. However, this is linked to her performance/completion of CFP studies, where her final paper's results will only come out next month..

hallo.. it's one thing to terminate them (yes, there's abt 5-6 of them) if they had failed the exams, but another to chuck them before results are out & without proper notification.. kesian la kat orang.. and they had the nerve to say that if they passed the exams, they can "re-apply" for a job there under a yearly contract basis.. if results comes out in august but you sign the contract on 1st august.. that would mean a whole year under a contract (which most likely to say that there's no increment, no bonuses, no benefits), with no guarantee whatsoever, that you will become a permanent employee at the end of it.. i'd say that is just plain mean.. who is this employer you might ask? well.. i better not say it here, but it is a pretty well-known local company...

anyway.. hope she wont let this bring her down.. hang in there, girl! There's better opportunities out there.. somewhere.. i should tell that to myself too, but i guess i'll stay put a while longer & see what these people cook up for me.. hehe.. bosses still telling me to "shout at people" more often.. hmm.. ;p easy enough for most, i'm still working on how to do that ..haha..

anyway.. i better go home & get some rest.. darn this fever thing.. getting all the symptoms, yet no temperature can be so irritating sometimes.. gie kat doctor pun diorg gelakkan je.. ;( but not that i can take leave pun.. still got work to do & ntah sapa la pulak nak visit 2moro & i have to give presentation.. aiyoo..i'll be distributing my germs then instead of info..haha.. better go update my presentation at home la, luckily dont have to do from scratch..hehe...

woo.. didn't realised that i haven't written for so long.. Actually there's been a lot of half-way written stuff that i've kept in the draft.. haven't managed to find time to really jot down what i have thought abt.. hehe.. excuses2.. i know.. that would be 1 good reason to get myself one of those pda/palmtop thingys this coming megasale.. hmm.. must recite to self: do not spend my hard earned cash on stuff i do not need & will not use ! but soo tempted tho.. hehe..

Anyway what's new with me? Hmm.. loads .. and there's none.. heheh.. right now is midnight, i'm already half asleep listening to this presentation thing & this meeting wont end for another hour.. ;( so forgive my ramblings here..

After 2 days of drilling from the regional manager, spending the last 2 weeks on qtr end stuff, plus had to entertain an out-of-town cuz on a shopping spree around town last weekend, cathing up with all the latest flicks & slip-in some time to finish the new Harry Potter book last nite..fuh. i'm totally beat.. ;p

& mum just announced that she's coming over 2moro.. yikes.. by the time i get back after this, it'll be like 2am already & i've got an early meeting 2moro at 8.30..when do i clean up the house before they come over??! erk.. i should really go home at 3pm tomoro.. hehe.. i wish la..

hmm.. if mum is coming over, then i'd have to miss the uni-mates gathering tomorrow.. i did so look fwd to meet up with them considering we havent had any gathering for months, almost a year really.. well, sure there was the odd meetings with one or two of the gang, but which that itself had been a while back..

in fact the only people i meet these days are ex-housemate&hubby, and the best friend (who incidently just got back from japan so havent seen her for a couple of weeks already).. how sad huh? heheh.. did managed to get hold of her tonite to welcome her back & we got to talking abt how we dont get to meet new people no more.. i mean, i'm okay with the "being alone" part which most people find soo amazing.. hello! just coz i live alone doesnt mean i'm lonely okay.. there's major difference between being alone & being lonely. I would like to have a person to share it with, but i dont 'need' to be with someone to be able to be happy.. and i dont believe in being married to your job either..

anyway, i'll talk abt this topic some other time.. can barely think already now.. when la these ppl want to stop talking?? ;( i want my bed now .....

nite nite..
