Meet Pink Nose & Moey

Meet Moey (right)& Pink Nose (left). This pic was taken when we celebrate a bday for a coll. She owns Pink nose and i own Moey. So we all celebrate her bday together-gether.

Pink nose was named bcos......well the bunny has a pink nose.

Moey was supposed to be Slow Mo cos it's a snail but i couldn't get the name registered in the website as it has been used. Hence, Moey

my new toy

Just bought my first GPS (Garmin Nuvi 255W) for RM 1150. My sense of direction has always been "non-existant", except for going to work and back

Been doing some research on which company to buy from. Did found a website which sold the same model for RM 1070 but i was a bit worried on the warranty as they did not state it in their website. Lefta message there but i gues it was a weekend and nobody worked

So determine to test the unit before purchasing it, i went to Digital Mall in Sec 14. Wasn't too difficult to find the Garmin shop, located on the right hand side of the main entrance. This shop claims to be the only Authourized Distributor by Garmin. Was quite happy with the unit even though it is more expensive by RM 80 so hubby said 'buy" (bday present from hubby).

Reached home eagerly to tear open the box. Surprisingly there was no warranty card. Maybe just need to register ito online. The manual were too simple. No instructions on how long you need to charge the unit. Tried looking for the simulation function but didn't know how. Realize that the sales person attending to me failed to explain some of the functions to me and i being too impulsive have forgotten to ask him. Anyway, will ask him when i collect my free casing next week from him.

Tested the GPS today with Rolly Polly to look for a food place recommended in Food-4-Thot blog. the unit bring us there alright though it has a wierd slang which need some time to get use. eg Kepong pronounced as Keh Pong

Will test it again on next week when i'm going to KL

A blood sucking colleague

This colleague of mine is really getting on my nerves (it’s the same person that I complained about the other time). Not only is he selfish (in my last blog) but he’s a cheapskate as well.
Imagine. He usually stays back in the office during lunch cos he claimed that he has a lot of things to do in the office. So out of empathy and courtesy, I will offer to buy pack lunch for him since I’m going out for my lunch. But whenever I buy lunch for him, he will just pretend to forget about it and not pay back. I’m not a calculative person but the way he behaves really gets on my nerve. The pack lunch doesn’t cost much but do you still want to buy lunch for him knowing that he’s not going to pay you back even after the tenth time?

The other day was better still. He wanted to buy water and I was at the same stall paying for my drink. He took out his wallet and exclaim “I don’t have small change. You got ar?” well my smallest was a RM 10 and I paid up. He said “that’s not a small change”. I was thinking, yeah you cheapskate if you don’t have small change just pay with whatever money that you have. If the stall owner says he doesn’t have the change, then only you ask ppl around you to pay for you la. Haven’t even touch your own money and you are already asking ppl to pay for you. And as usual he will conveniently forget.

The next time I will not be so generous. I will ask you to pay back buster.

Hulu langat jungle trekking / river trekking/ abseiling - fuhlamak

Went with a small grp of friends to Hulu Langat. This trip was suppose to be a recce trip prior to the actual event for the Kiwanis Youth Camp so that we can familiarize with the route and be a volunteer during the actual day. We were suppose to meet the rest of the Kiwanis organizers/ commitees and Nomad staff there in Hulu Langat to start the trekking.

When we reached there weather is good and we were briefed the usual stuff and start our trekking in about 9.45am.. Being the first time there and an amateur trekker, I can say this is a very challenging route. Steep slopes and long route. Need a lot of endurance and yet we need to move on without much rest. Most of the Kiwanis committees are season trekkers and it’s a challenge to even keep up with them.

Nevertheless, after trekking for almost 2 hours, we reached the water trekking part. First it was easy but gradually it became harder as there are more rocks which you need to be carefull cos u may slipped. After another hr or so, we reached the abseling part. We need to abseil from a cliff with the waterfall beside you. At this point, we are at the point-of-no-return, which means that there will be no route for us to trek only but only the river. It started raining. And we were in the last batch to abseil down. By the time it was our turn, the water has turned from crystal clear to brown colour. Fearing that the water level will rise and swept us away, our team leader lead us to higher ground. The slope was 75 degrees slanting and bcos of the rain, the soil became soft and eroded under our every step. We practically have to crawl on all fours; grab whatever rocks/ trees/ plants/ shrubs to avoid slipping down. At 1 point, I even have to dug my feet inside the mud to get a grip. Our team leader (from Nomad) panic cos she didn’t know what else to do. Luckily, another Nomad team member heard us and came to us. He then brought us back to civilization.

I was exhausted and bushed by the time we reach back to the route. We still have to go back down the trek that we came up from.

As I’m writing this, my muscles are stiff and I walked like a penguin. My shoulder aches like crazy, bruises everywhere and the worst part is my skin were scratched from the shrubs/ plants and suffer from insect bites and now it’s getting very itchy.

The best part is I still need to go thru this again on the actual day. Hopefully , minus the rain

Some men are turning into petty bitch

I’m beginning to dislike this co-worker. He is selfish, good in ‘tai chi’ and I’m surprise that he even play politics since men seldom play this game.

Eg. 1 of him ‘tai chi-ing’
Currently he handles 1 main project which is to oversee the renovation of outlets. And recently boss gave him another project to handle for yr end. He did not even touch a single thing on the 2nd project citing that the 1st project takes up too much time. His 1st project is actually very simple. Basically dealing with renovators, approving artwork (in this case I will be involved as well). So the boss decides to pass the 2nd project for me to handle. Currently I have 2 main project to handle and at the same time a few minor one.

Eg 2 of him being selfish
He liaise with 1 particular customer very regularly due to the renovation of their outlets. Thus, he will go to see them to so-called get their approval. Whatever info that has been transpired never reach me.

Eg 3 of him being selfish
Whenever the sales person ask him to do something, he will always says that he is busy and will put it off until one of the salesman was questioned by the GM.

Eg 4 of him being selfish
There’s one time I’m not sure how to go about doing a task, so I asked him how. He replied me that he doesn’t know but the next thing you know he has done it.

More than meets the eye

I rattled about this blur sotong sales guy in my earlier post and this post is also dedicated to him cos he made history yet again.

He went missing after taking the company’s stocks worth RM 15K as well as cash & cheque. (‘transformers…..more than meets the eye”)

The whole company tried to call him ystdy but no one can reach him. Today the wife called the office looking for his husband…apparently he didn’t went home.

Dunno wat happen to him.

Maybe he’s not so blur afterall -_-

Now hafta think where to go and what to do with all this free time……..
