Life of a Singleton

Dear All,

TCF

A New Blog Will Be Born

Dear All,

It's been shit long since my last entry. Somehow, HORIZON doesn't reflect the CF now. Therefore, I will be creating a new blog and I promise to update it at least once a week. That's all for now. My next post in HORIZON will be my last and you will know my new blog then.

HORIZON wishes you a prosperous and healthy lunar NY.

Eeew

Hmmm... "Went in as a boy - Now a Man"???

Don't know about you, but when I read that entry again, I was at the point of hurling. Never know I can write such thing! BUT the content was alright. Haha. Just the title. It's a little OTT (Over The Top).

So how's everyone?

I realise that the more stress I'm in, the more I write in HORIZON! Maybe I have nowhere to go... or vent whatever that's inside me! LOL.

Today, I made a huge mistake. I forgot my sister's birthday! She's in New Zealand right now, flying back to Australia tomorrow. Yeah, she celebrated her 2xth birthday in NZ. That's really something. However, for what I've done, I do not have defense.

Thankfully, she's a nice woman. She didn't get pissed, but when she called me, I was slapping my forehead, literally and felt like shit. Still feel like shit! What have gotten into me?

If I'm filthy rich, I would've boarded a plane to Australia right then and celebrate with her. That was how I feel when she called. "Damn it", I told myself.

So sorry, babe! (sigh).

Dang IT...

I utterly regret cancelling my gym membership. Not that I have the time to go, but when I want to go, I have nowhere to go to...

I can't run in the morning because I practically whoosh out of the house the moment I open my eyes. I can't run in the evening because I usually reach home around 9 plus. I don't want to run at that time for fear of getting raped. LOL.

My only safe spot to run and etc, I cancelled it. Brilliant. I must find some other way to sweat it out! Therefore, I hereby announce that I am open to ideas on how to sweat and get the endorphins going.

Went in as a boy - Now a man

22 December 2007, Friday. That day, I became an executive in Malaysian Re. I was employed by the company on 3rd July 2006 as a Contract Executive. I was bound by a contract because I was their scholar. I went into Corporate Strategy & Planning first. Then, I was transferred to Reinsurance Admin. My whole perception of the company changed ever since.

I was offered a position as an executive with my current department on 22 December 2006. 6 months have passed since and now I'm no longer under probation. I'm a proud executive within a reputable firm! Fate dealt me a card that landed me in this company of which I triumph. At least, that's what I like to believe. Work has been a roller-coaster the moment I walked into that department.

I see future there. However, I'm not barring the possibility of having better offers. I did, I do and I believe I will always have them if I put myself out there. Having said that, which firm lets you have the freedom to think and implement things completely on your own. Whenever you require assistance, the door is always open, literally! That is what I like about my company. Friendly people, fast-moving issues, pressure and fun. One thing for sure that made me reconsider staying is the people. No doubt they are a great bunch.

I will never let go of my dream of being a consultant. I want to see other companies and their workings. When I'm one (consultant), I know I have this company to thank, especially my current department. Brilliant and down-to-earth people.

Looking forward to the challenges. Cheerios!

Since I've been gone...

Look who is back??? It’s the infamous TCF of Kuala Lumpur. My last post was in 27 March 2007. I tell you, that was a very long time ago! Maybe some of you have already given up coming to HORIZON. My bad…

For the past few months (more like few weeks), I’ve been interestingly busy with my work. The work is still going on but it is also high-time that I put something in HORIZON for fear that people will not come anymore.

So what is new with everyone? Don’t be shy to post it in my blog. Put comments in it or just crap it out on my CBox.

A lot of things happened in the past few weeks. One of them stood out! "What?", you might ask and I shall tell you. She’s my friend and among all of us (the uni faculty mates), she changed the most (in a positive way). I tell you, I was shocked and in awe when I met her. From a studious person to a relatively sexy and smart woman. Such a change warrants a shout-out. If only she reads HORIZON… Sigh. Her name will not be disclosed to protect her privacy.

Now, apart from the above, below were the things that happened for the past few weeks.

Celebrated my 24th birthday
Went out with my uni mates to catch up
Went eating like a mad person
Lost weight
Gained weight
Lost weight again
My sister’s plumbing in OZ went way wrong
She’s getting married (so not)
I’m getting married (definitely not happening)
Attended a wedding reception. It was wonderful. This is one wedding where I really enjoyed the songs they played. Probably because they are living in Australia so they didn’t play those “sesat” Chinese noise.
… And many more!

Not boring… Not too happening… Just very Zen and CF-like.

My boss, supervisor and myself plan to drive into UM to reminisce. We will climb up the flight of long, straight stairs in the Economics Faculty. It will be interesting to visit our uni, especially to them since they have not visited it for a very long time!

Looking forward to it.

How it goes and whether they are able to finish the 54 steps, I will update you. It’s going to happen on one of the Fridays. Visit HORIZON from time to time to see if there are updates.

I know I kind of suck at updating HORIZON. Nevertheless, I will try! Ciao.

Before I really go, I have another big plan. The plan is to make my bosses use MSN. LOL. Seriously...

Well, I know I said I'm going off but I just have to add one more thing. One of my friend, M*x is getting married this July (exact date 07-07-07). Who is the lucky girl? I think she's the one that followed him around in Economics Faculty last time. I was shocked when I receive the news and was asked to be one of the witnesses to the wedding. The date of course, it's a little cheesy, if you know what I mean but I guess to a certain extent, it's romantic??? I don't know. I'm not a romantic person. Also, if I'm not wrong, he has his own start-up (business) now! Talking about moving forward and FAST!!!

R.E.S.P.E.C.T...

Bad Day

I had a bad day. I disappointed people. Couldn't really get over it yet. Stressed and pressured. Need to sit very calmly and look into matters. Just want to be alone and think over some stuff. Bloody hell. Giving self 2 days to "file" all bad crap into an "archive". Haha.
