the one with the update

i know i havent been updating much about my life lately. which sorts of beats the purpose of having this online diary, although it has always been my hope that it will be published when i die. (chewahhhh hahaha)

lets see, where shall i start.

i went to an interview last week, the longest 4 hours of my life. it is at one of the major oil companies in the world, no, no not the national one, the other one. but the outcome of it is still a big question mark. i half hoped i would get it, so that i can move on out of this company, a place that i grew up professionally but which i have outgrown, and the other half hoping that i dont get it, so that i have an excuse to stay somewhere im comfortable and continue to be bored to death.

on the other hand, an interesting development has arises at work. apparently my super boredomness and constant sighing at the lack of work i have seems to have finally penetrated my boss's mind. he called me into the office, one day after my interview (his ability to guess my moves is amazing! wonder where his sources comes from hmm) and gives this long motivational talk about how im "valuable to the company blah blah" which i would buy two years ago, but im wiser now enough to know that seniority and pioneer means crap in this company if you're not related to the bosses. so i listened patiently, smiled when required and nodded and immediately said yes when he offered me to transfer to trading group, as a business planner. the transfer will be effective in early September, so we'll see. im not putting hopes on it, unless if they are planning to relocate me to Singapore, which in that case, yeay :)

so that's work.

and oh, we're going to air terjun chamang again this saturday for a department picnic :) tee hee at my encouragement tee hee u know me and rivers right :p

both missy parvo cobrano and missy zaitul chantal is back from their god forsaken overseas postings yeay! ok2, maybe not god forsaken, but honestly, who has ever heard of Mauritania, that in North Africa for you, and Sandjeford, somewhere in Norway?? kan kan betul tak :p but im glad they went and back safe and sound, otherwise we'd always be blissfully ignorant of these places hehe

so, finally to the best part of all.

im off to Bandung, Indonesia for four days! wuhooo!

this is my second trip already actually, the first was like 3 years back, and ive always promised my self that i would returned here.

this time, the entourage is more tho, 10 of us are going! its going to be a headache trying to organize the itinerary so that everybody will be happy and satisfied but for a certified planner and organizer like yours truly (certified yes! i got the masters to prove it hehehe) i think i can handle it, and i have a feeling its going to be a fantastic trip :p the only downside of it is that im so broke-n-to-the-bone that my funds are strictly for food and transportation only, and will not be doing any shopping at all. yep, you read it right the first time. no shopping. at all.

well, unless if they have a gorgeous black handbag which i soo need now for work :p

but other than that. no shopping. period.

(^_^)

ps : mr sun informed me that he just shipped all my stuff that i left in UK the other day, so it should arrive in about two months time. yippee! there's this gorgeous dark grey sequinned handbag that i bought that im dying to use, havent seen anything like it here in malaysia and this creamy suede hobo bag that i got especially for work and my tops from NEXT and ..oh oh my Timberland bagpacks gegegege..

see this is why i CANNOT do anymore shopping!

thanks mr sun (^_^)
