Office Politics....

Ramai ambik MBA pasal they think that they will be better at work, get better pay, get better job…

Most just want to be better…

Some are better

but Some think they are better…

So they start drawing up matrices, the usual high impact/low urgency quadrants, fish-bone diagrams, mind-mapping stuff…..

Lepas the pawow presentation…hilang…lesap…takde follow-up…

+++

Another “cannot tahan” phrase in the office yang to me too over-rated is…

Think out of the Box


Like…apa tu??

Eh…dalam box tu pun tak tau boleh pikir ke tidak….nak suruh orang to think out of the box…or worse…claim that they are thinking out of the box…

You know…opening up their sentence by “ok ok…just thinking out of the box….yadda yadda…”

Awat kena declare that they are thinking out of the box….?


+++

I don’t understand kenapa some people have this “I’m rushing for xxxx….or I have a lot of urgent issues on my plate now..” ALL the time??

Once a while…fine, understandable but ALL the time..??

Does one have to stay back every single day?

Does staying back = hard(er) worker?

Rushing all the time = inefficient..? Right??

Does timely, accurate deliverables play bigger importance than..rushing..??

Then again, my dear…
perception is vital….

Wallowing in Self Pity

I sebenarnyer sakit hati....


dah lama makin hati, this year - 2008 macam tak jive well with my yin and yang...give up lah


Career-wise :-
1. Been outsourced to an IT company
2. In the same team
3. But different portfolio...was handling hardware for 4.5 years, now due to massive reshuffling, I'm looking into softwares and licensing
4. Despite number one, I'm still using the old email. Macam orang cerai gantung tak bertali. Sometimes its better to have a direct cut-off then to give unlimited grace period. Its like...apa tu??
5. Mr X is now my boss. No need to elaborate...

In the Home-Front :-
1. House got robbed twice before puasa in the interval of 2 weeks time.

Bukan sakit hati...more like continuous depressing mode.

I need to step a few steps back, reevaluate life and career, give myself a target and work for it.

Nanti sat....in the meantime...let me light my Marlboro....

trivial woes of me...

Raya just over...had no baju raya so wore one which was 3 years old (which I have to admit my 'baju kurung paling baru), and showed off my bulges here and there. That should tell you how long I've not done any new baju kurung...nor have I gone to any kenduri kahwin or whatnots that require me to wear baju kurung.

I did try to beli baju but OMG...the prices can make tarik rambut. Went to a boutique in the Mall and with my muka tak malu asked the SA, "Sebelum I tengok, apa harga baju kurung paling murah you ada?". She replied "Dalam rm600.00, kak". Apa lagi....terus pusing keluar...sigh...

Went to Seoul last August in hope to buy fake goods. I was hoping to get me the LV Speedy 30.




Tapi takde...beat that...well I (dgn proud semacamnyer) saved up rm500 for my purchase(s) of fake goods and came back with a rm35 PVC handbag.

After the trip, my hubby's friend told him "Nape pi Korea...that is so 10 years ago...we all now go to Saigon..."

Yeah right...baru now lah nak cakap...after I dah perabiskan banyak fulus in Seoul for a rm30 bowl of mee/person....

I sebenarnyer suka handbags...hahahahahha....betoi punyer suka...tapi mahal giler lah yg real punyer..the LV Speedy is around rm3000 in Dubai. Kat M'sia tak tau pasai malu nak masuk the kedai...hahahahahh....

My other keinginan is the Fendi Spy Bag...





Retail in M'sia around rm7680.00....yg ciplak kat Sg Wang is rm150.00....Hmmppph

If wishes come true, I would wish for a Bottega Veneta's Veneta Handbag. Classic...soft, dreamy leather. A class of its own.....



Tapi....aiyo.....banyaknyer ciplak. Bottega Veneta's bag is super pricey...tetiba ramai lah pulak makcik2 amoi2 bawak....lalu saya cancel aje lah...


Ok this is what I don't quite get. Nak kata gaji, my salary is quite ok. Camner I tak boleh nak beli ek? I betul2 tak sanggup nak part with so much cash at one go....a few thousnads for a handbag does not go down well with my brain capacity lah. Tapi every day I tengok this website and weep...http://bag-aholics.blogspot.com/

Honestly...biar betoi....yes, quite envious jugak tengok depa punyer handbag selections.

Let see now....let's do an estimate of my monthly spending...

Nett that goes in the account - rmX

minus Fixed Expenses - rmY

Rumah - rm?
Kereta Merah - rm?

Kereta Biru Abah - rm?
Insurance bebudak - rm?

Duit Mak Abah - rm?
CC Bill - rm?
Bas Sekolah Opi - rm?

Tadika Isya - rm?
Music Class - rm?
Grocery - rm?
Petrol - rm?
ASB - rm?
Duit bergembira - rm?

....Apa yg tinggal ek?

Camner nak beli ni...fake or original....sama aje tak mampu

you think baju tu larat to sampai ke Raya 2009 ke??
