First Ever Wedding Shots

I am proud to be invited by her as her bridesmaid. I am proud to be one of her sisters. I am proud to be one of her photographers (basically for practice purpose xD) .. But yeah, I am so happy for her .... I wish you and hubby happy forever and have a healthy cheerful smart baby ...

Her wedding was held at Penang, so of course me and 3 other friends took half day on Friday and thanks to Ms Bee that offer her car and driving all the way up to Penang. On the night itself, we had some "big" mission other than food mission .. He he he ...

Anyway, on the next day, Saturday morning, since that Ms Bride and us are staying at the same hotel, so we practically walk to her room which is just few doors away and help her out at her preparation.

The make up session ....





And then, us ji mui help her out on tying up her hair .... I think the 2 sisters did a very good job in less than 10 mins .. xD

 Simple yet pretty =)

Not bad kan !!!!!!! 

 Me love this shot !!



Well, in between occasions like "jip san leong", tea ceremony, I am busy with the bridesmaid role though I don't really don't know what I should do.. xD Blurring standing and just help to collect ang pao lu .... Kekekekeke ....

We had few simple games for the bridegroom which is singing their love song, doing 10 times pumping and making a love promise out loud .. Lol ... Poor bridegroom keep saying he's out of his voice .. Fake betul !!

Then, after tea ceremony at girl's side, we went over to bridegroom's side. Continuing with tea ceremony. Ended the morning ceremony with a simple lunch there. Though it's simple, but the hokkien food .. Oh em geee lorrrr .. It's super delicious, can !

At night, as usual, the wedding dinner ...


I wish them happy together forever

Ps: If you need a wedding photographer at a very low cost, please do not forget considering this pretty little blogger cum photographer, ok !!! xD Quality not-so guaranteed btw ...

After Car Accident Incident


Few days ago, my beloved was being kissed by a stranger. I am so SAD !!!!!! How can my babe being kissed by people other than me !!!! NOOOOO ~~~~ My babe not only kena kissed but also got kiss people's backside . Ish ~ Bad bad !!!!

ANYWAY ...

I do no want to go too much details on the kissing part cuz it just happen how it normally will happen. 3 parties including myself invovled and everything was settled peacefully by making police report and my babe currently is now in the ward for the trauma treatment.

Things just do NOT end there.

On the next day, the stranger that my babe accidently kissed onto called me asking me to make compensation to him for causing him opportunity loss of income. Well, the first question that got into my mind is "How did he got my contact number". When I questioned him, he sounded threatened by telling my nick name and where I am working. I did not immediately promise to him to pay him as I already don't feel comfortable talking to him.

Then, the next day, he called again. As the night before I did some searching on information about insurance claim and I came to find out about that we can make a third party claim not only our car damages but also on compensation called "Compensation on Actual Repair" which actually allows to claim at a certain rate per day for the days where our car is at the workshop for repair. So, I did advised him on that.

Not later than half an hour, he called back again saying that the compensation is not enough to cover his loss. Once again, sounded threatened, saying he will make a police report saying he is being cheated or something like that. To me, I am legally not wrong because if I were to found wrong, the police would have issue a summon on me. But what I was worried more is not about the money he asked for, is how much do he know about me. Also, I refuse to pay because who can be assured of that he will not disturb me again after me paying him.

Although the amount he asked for wasn't a big sum, just RM150, but after talking to friends and family, I really shouldn't pay him. Simply again, I am legally not wrong.

Whatever it is, I just hope that he'll realise this and stop calling me.

Just want to share this out, so that to all my readers and friends could be more aware because in today's world, anything can just happen. Let's just be more vigilant and know our rights. I've learnt an important lesson here.

And on a side not, should I ever find out whoever reveal out my personal contact details to this person, I will definitely make a big havoc out of it !!! WATCH ME DOING THIS !!!!

Looking Back

Sometimes looking back to the path that you took is not a bad thing. It reminds oneself the ups and downs that you went thru that makes who you are today.

People always tell their friends to let go, to forget the sad and move on. I disagree.

Because the fact is, no one can forget things that they experienced it especially the BAD and SAD ones. You'll remember it even clearer than the happy moments. So, I always has this thinking and I do tell my beloved ones, "It's OK to be sad. You are always allowed to be sad for a day in a week. But don't be sad too long. One has to move on. The happy moments carve in our heart and remember it, as this will be the reason for you to look back and smile. The sad moments, keep at a corner but don't ever throw it away, as this will be the reason for you to be stronger as you walk further."


I have friends that say how can I be so positive-minded about almost everything. Simple, because to me, whatever things happen, it happened for a reason which the reason you may not know. Just accept it by maintaining the good one and improve/change on the bad one. Anyway, the truth is I am not that positive-minded at all time. Sometimes I do think very, i mean VERY negatively. Just that I never showed out to anyone. That is very not good. (Notes to self: To improve on this) 

Sometimes, I do too asked myself about how I did. I always compare within myself. A simple example, in my working environment. I always asked myself, have I improve on the areas that I need and should improve? Areas like I have to be more outstanding in front of my bosses, to be more seen that I can work good. I do admit I wished to be more seen and assigned on more jobs and assignments. Just like how my big boss said to us, by having more jobs, it mean that you are capable in doing your work, it mean you are good. Everyone wished to be in that category, seen by boss. We are just denying the fact because we are just introverts.

So, what about you? Do you reminisce your good and bad of your past experience? Or you are a very easy going person that doesn't care the heck?


Remember, looking back to your past helps to remind yourself the path you taken and why you are here but don't ponder on your past too long as well, as it won't help you to grow.

Treasure Hunt 2010

While I filter and resize my photos taken during my 9 days trip, let me update something else first which I should have post it earlier.



Every year, my company would organize a Treasure Hunt activity. This year would be my first time joining the hunt. I was so excited and nervous at the same time because I am so afraid that I could not help my team in deciphering the questions. I was also appointed as the driver for the team.

Our team were given the name of Chicas Superpoderosas which according to my colleague, it mean the Powerpuff Girls in Spanish. This is because our team consist of 4 girls. Seriously, don't ask me to pronounce it because I don't know how and even until to-date, I can't remember that name .. I only remember it as the Chicas. Hehehehe ....


My initial thoughts of Treasure Hunt was we are suppose to decipher the clues given and to find for the treasures. I never knew it does not only consist the treasures which we have to buy and there are about 35 questions or so where we have again have to decipher the clues and guess which name of the shop along a row of shops. Other than that, there is also Photo Hunt which I think I am better in doing that. Hehehe...


Well, obviously during the hunt no photos are taken. =D


Anyway, this year hunt are to Malacca. Our starting point was from Kuala Lumpur and end at Malacca.


We stayed at Renaissance Hotel which is not too far from the town itself. 






During the night, we will have dinner with the theme "Melaka Dalam Sejarah" (Malacca in History) because Malacca is where the history of Malaysia begins. So, to suit with the theme, we are encouraged to dress up maybe in British Colonial, Baba & Nyonya etc. Our team decided to dress in Nyonya style.








How do we look ?? Nice ??? Better say NICE !! =P


Surprisingly, a lot of the them dressed out of my expectation. For example,


Rabbit, turtle and deer

They also haven games and performance which I myself enjoyed very much watching.. Hehehe....


Boy Gaga .. They are good ...

How many can you fit into the big sarung?

They also have the best dress male, female as well as teams. I only managed to capture for Top 3 Best Dress Male and Female.

Top 3 Male

Top 3 Female

He won as the Best Dress Male

Towards the end of the dinner, the organiser would then reveal all the answers and the winners. There are 60 participating cars and Top 40 teams have prizes to win. So, we manage to win ourselves RM50 although we did quite badly.


Now that I know how the game goes, I shall be better next year and be in Top 10 !! =D

Performance Appraisal Month



I suppose the most heart attacking, I-am-performing-very-good month is just around the corner for a lot of the companies.

Was just looking at my sis-in-law's appraisal form. LOL.

And this year is my first year experiencing this appraisal process, demanding for return on my hard work that I've done. I hope that I did OK for my first year in the eyes of my bosses because sincerely and truthfully, I don't think that I've did well, did not meet my own expectation. I hope and shall strive for big improvement next year.

Single + Young = No Commitments ?

 Today, I learnt a new lesson of life.

To jive with my title, of course, it is something related to work.

Well, I am definitely a newbie in the world of working although I've worked for 1 year but that's definitely more to be learnt and experienced. So today, I've learnt a new lesson.

For those who are already in the working world may understand how I felt in this post. So, as you know, especially to those who are still new and single (in a relationship does not count), you are always the best target to be picked as victim for some so-called ad hoc job or what-so-ever.

The reason they give you is you are single, you have no commitments.

The above statement was given to me as well. To me, being SINGLE doesn't mean we do not have any commitments. Being SINGLE doesn't mean I have no family to take care of. Who are my parents then? Being SINGLE doesn't mean I do not have a personal life.

To me, personally, being SINGLE doesn't mean you can just simply ask me to do something so last minute which could have ruined my PERSONAL commitment and plans !!!

Adding to that, my boss even tell me that, studying ACCA is a PERSONAL commitment. It will NOT help the department to achieve its objective / KPI and it should also not be taken as an excuse. In my heart thinking, WTH. It does not help you, but it will affect my future development !!!


I totally understand that as a Head of Department, you have to think for the department as a whole, simply because that's your performance and it directly affects you. Isn't that also can be categorized as SELFISH? Why should I be EMPATHY when you are not?

Everytime I see the way how my boss strategist his thoughts and arguments, it would link to my Dad because I simply think both of them has the total same personalities, which I think it applies the same to all BOSSES. Another common traits on a BOSS is that, they are a GOOD PHYSO. Seriously.

And again, just to throw a question back to you, will you say yes to your boss to everything he/she asks you to do when you think you shouldn't be doing it


OR

you'll have your stance that not everything you should do which may lead to ....



And to me, I had my stance because I have my own justification. You have your plans, I followed accordingly. You delayed the plans and not communicated well, doesn't mean I have to ruin my personal plans just for you. I'll try to give the best of me for the company since that it's the company that is feeding me BUT not with sacrificing my STUDIES, my FUTURE !

oh, btw ... I found this on the net ..

Happy BOSS Day XD

PS: If you know my boss, pls keep quiet about this post, ok? =P

Multi-Tasking

It's been to a week now since the last day of my course.

Quite "suffering" for this week in terms of workload and brain still not functioning so well. This week, everyday when I got back home and after bath, I already felt super sleepy at 9.30 / 10 pm. Normally, I still could stand until 12am.

On top of that, knowingly i have so many tasks that I have to do at the same time. I am really not sure if I could handle all these perfectly or even minimally. I wished I could perform my best out of me. But it seems like I am still not satisfied with myself at all. I still could not outstand. It kind of frust. Maybe I am just demanding myself a bit too much but still that's the way should be to improve myself, shouldn't it?

I realise I will not say out a thing unless I am very confident of the facts. I will not give out an opinion unless I know that the opinion is valid. I felt I should be more daring in talking out ideas.

Anyway, I could see my weekends would be gone with activities and finishing up the slides. Huhuhuhu ... Although most likely I will not touch a lot of work, still I wish I could finish up by this weekend so that I can pass it to my Manager to be vetted.

9th Banking Fundamental Supervision Course

To non-central bankers may not know what does a supervisors do. Is it like an external auditor? Well, it is not. They don't look at financial figures as much as an external auditor does. They focus and ensure that a bank's failure will not affect the financial stability of the nation. This generally applicable everywhere.

Anyway, that is not my main role. I mean, I am an internal auditor. I audit the supervisor while the supervisor supervises the banks out there .. XD

How do I end up in this course when I say that is not my role? Well, as the Sup Sectors uses risk-based framework which is the same concept used at my dept, definitely I will have my take away. Further, to be able to give assurance that the Sup's dept are functioning well, we, as the Internal Auditor also have to understand their business environment, isn't it? So, I definitely has a big take away from this course.

It is a 2 weeks course. At first, I was quite reluctant in attending this course as consciously I still have many pending work to be done and having to get away from the office for 2 weeks. However, the course overall was fun and enjoyable. This course was not only open to the new supervisors but also to other central bankers who is part of the MTCP (Malaysia Technical Cooperation Programme).

So all and all, I learnt new things about how a bank works out there and also I met with a lot of great friends. There are participants from PIDM, LOFSA, SC, central bankers from China, Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Cambodia, Bahrain and also Bhutan.

with the foreign participants at I-City

Plus, this is a residential training, so we actually has rooms at Lanai Kijang, our Bank's training / club centre. At first, I thought I would be travelling to and fro for the training, but when I got the key to my room. I changed my mind. I'll definitely fully utilised the room and facilities for that 2 weeks because after this course, I don't know which course in the future that I'll be able to use this facilities again.

My room !!

The room for ONE !!

a long sofa for u to enjoy ur reading maybe

i love the design of the working space ... i shall take note for my next renovation of my room, if that ever happens in near future and before i discover another new design XD

outside of the room , there's this small garden .. lovely ..

Bomb Threat

*concentrating on my monitor with all the papers spread everywhere on the table* 
"disyaki ada bom"
*ignore*
"semua get ready ya .. bawah dah ada banyak polis .. sekuriti tadi call"
*stop whatever i am doing*

Oh yeah .. That is the actual scene happened yesterday at my office in the morning around 10a.m. Everyone starts to get abit panic although everyone kinda stay calm and coolly. We did saw a row of police cars and vans parked at the road side.

So that is for real !!

After standing for a few mins, we are asked to evacuate the building !!

Yes !! It is for real !! I am totally not lying here .. I can swear to god ..

We hestitated should we run down by stairs or just take the lift??

Fine .. We will take the lift .. It's not fire drill .. HAhahahaa .. We are not trained to evacuate for BOMB THREAT !!!

Once we gotten down, bank staff from other dept. confirmed that it is a false alarm so we blindly go back in the lift and went back to office ...

Gosh ... What a trick played on us on April Fool's Day eve !!!! =.=!

And you know what ...

The police squad actually was there for almost an hour plus .. We are totally not alerted .. The building's security did not make any announcement until our own bank's security from HQ called our depts. So, only our bank's staff are doing the evacuation. Funny, ain't?

I thought once there is a suspected bomb threat , the whole building should be evacuated immediately???? There goes our super sucky efficiency and effectiveness of the Security and Police .. Hip Hip Hooray ~~~

Loving My Job

Now I understand the real feeling of working life. The life is really dull comparing to study life.

Mon - Fri, you'll wake up like a zombie/robot, goes to work for 8 hours the min, come home, have dinner , take a bath and in no time, you realise you already drop dead on your bed.

Sat - Sun, you'll try your best to plan for some activities. And somehow weekends is the only time where you get to wake up late (which you will automatically wake up the usual time you wake up for work) and time is always seem not to enough for everything on the weekend.

OK. That's the overall view of a working life.

Nevertheless, my working life back in my office, is really interesting. I really feel thankful and grateful for having such friendly, outgoing, funny colleagues. Each and every one of them somehow would cheer your day. We never let our stress take control. We shout in the office, we laugh in the office like our boss is not there. But of course, our boss never minds about us joking around so long we could deliver good work to him.

Comparing to the first day I step into the office and now, I think I am feeling much comfortable now since I'm starting to blend into the culture which I believe I am blending into very well.

Not only that, so far, I've know quite a lot of other bank's staff from other dept. which now we hang out quite often for lunch if we were at HQ for audit. And networking, especially in such environment and especially for people like us AUDITORS, I think it is important. Because these are the networks that eventually help to ease our work in the future. Don't you think so?

Well, of course I would not have that intention when knowing these great people. To me, it's like knowing a new friend in school and there's where your circle of friends gets bigger. I always love knowing new people around. Like my previous post, everyone I know inspire me in my life. I grow up by learning the good side of them. =)

So, in short, I am currently starting to love my job and I hope this would goes on and hope there's nothing ahead that would reduce my job satisfaction.

World of Working

I suddenly have the urge of blogging this, hoping to get some view from you guys.

Let me throw you a question, a question which I might get the normal, common answer.
Why do you want to work?






Let me guess some of the common answers that I would get. Forgetting the main factor of all i.e. $$ because I believe that's what everyone work for.
    1. Life continues, and working is the next stage of our life
    2. To support our family
    3. Experience that you would never get in study life
    4. Self satisfaction
      Above is some of the answers that is quite common to all of us and I have no doubt on it. For me personally, the thinking that I have now would rather towards number 1 and 3. I am hoping that I can move towards self satisfaction ignoring the money factor.

      I came to ponder something relating to reason of working when a lot of people came telling me this. People came asking me where do I work (the usual question), so I have nothing to hide and telling them straight I work in BNM. As a Malaysian and of course as a people who are already working, 99.999999% of the people would give me the i-am-so-jealous-of-you look and to make that look worst by telling them I am the scholar.

      A lot of people and yet again 99.999999999% of them would tell me that I should be glad of getting in here and should not ever think of changing my job. And this is because everyone is looking from the perspective of $$$. Well yeah, it is a good job, i never deny on it. I do learn things, I do have wonderful colleagues, I have a nice boss who is more than willing to guide whenever I needed to. It offers the best ever salary and benefits that one could get outside which such a flexible working hours. I don't blame others for so envying me.

      But, deep down inside me, I just feel that this is not the place for me. I just don't feel it.

      A lot of people said that I am such a lucky girl, being able to move so smoothly from teenage life into this working life without much obstacles. And also maybe this is the reason why I felt I shouldn't be here. I feel like going out there ALONE, learning how to be independent

      I do of course appreciate all the things that my parents had did for me. But I feel like it is the time for me to go out to this world alone. I don't want always to be the protected one. I don't want others to say I am like a princess who never know how tough is the life out there. I know if ever I am going to step out from here, I migh regret it, but this is the only way I'll get to grow facing with all sorts of difficulties. But at the same time, I would consider of taking care of my parents.

      Blogging from Office

      Flipping through my P3 notes, looking left, looking right .. *ouch* My neck hurts since yesterday. Not sure is it because I did not sleep well or is due to my mild headache that I have since yesterday as well. And now is even more aching. Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu...

      Anyway, I am slowly into the work audit by starting off with the audit planning. Although the culture here is to work alone, but Im glad that I have a great manager who is guiding me well and even explain on how it works. At least, I wouldn't start off my work in a midst like my colleagues used to. So, I guess everything is going smoothly so far and I hope it'll be smooth throughout my first every audit. =)
