life after training.

hola people! just another random update from me. i have officially started my job. not to say i didn't get paid all along. but yes, the drift is finally here.

first day has been awfully challenging. but on the second day, it was easier on me. i can't wait for the coming next week, because then i really get to focus on what i really have to do.

last monday and tuesday were spent at PD for team building. though i was at first, dreading it, it turned out to be awesome. the activities weren't as heavy as activities i had during my foundation team building.

had a very very bad stomach when we were on our way to PD. just had to make the bus driver make a stopover, fml. i look like a happy child thank you.

one of the activities. repelling, just the same as absailing. the last absailing i had was 3 storeys high. now it's 9 storeys high, fml. if you knew me well enough, i am afraid of heights. but surprisingly i did very very well. i was mighty mighty steady as compared to others, who were crying, shivering/shaking, shouting at the belayer. i just went down when i was told, brave me.

my trusted main belayer. the other one down there is tim, is he even qualified to belay me wtf. but i did well. we had other activites such as night orienteering, but how do we take pics in the middle of the night in the jungle? pfft.

that's me, in the air. haha.

at the end, our graduation. very emotional, but not as emotional as what i have for you below.

on the last day of training, was our presentation. so we spent the night before scribbling little notes because the presentation is very important. we had wealth management people and branch managers over, so it was tres important.


still my colleague now.

very corporate like. diana's introduction.

while waiting for our turns to speak.

my presentation was very very successful. haha i can't possibly say my presentation is beautiful right. perasan. but it was good because everyone was actually listening and paying attention. unlike a few people who presented, especially the second group, where there were branch managers falling asleep. it was too long and lengthy. and being the last group, we tried very very hard to cut everything short.

then after lunch, we were all being very very emotional because during lunch...when diana said 'aww, this is ur last lunch together', she starting pouring tears, and that made me cry also. and everyone was like 'wtf?' we came to this training as very different individuals, and fought to find our own friends etc. there were significant age gaps, but surprisingly all of us got together very very well. we bonded over gossips, pepper lunch, SHOPPING and more SHOPPING.


so after lunch, we were given the opportunity to speak a few words. and they volunteered me the last. because even my closing presentation almost made them cry, likely, my speech would make them cry. i didn't even have to say anything, i just stood there, and lydia started the tears. and as i spoke, it's so weird because the guys started to tear as well.

sorry for making you people cry! i miss training already! thank god i still see diana when i am willing to take a walk to dataran, which i usually do. =)

cough cough!

hola! it's really early on a sunday morning. but i am up early to study a bit for tonight. tonight seems important cause for all the heads up from mr martin, miss malar and julian sim.

sides all the oh-ah, i am sick! =( feels crappy as ever. during grooming class last week it felt as if i was going to vomit and pass out. urgh. but less worries, i've already gone to the doctor and she said it's the weather thingy. so everyone, drink more water and honey. you won't want to end up like me!

it's already the last week of training at MA. soon i'd be posted to my designated location. not mentioning where here. feels a lil scary but can't wait for the thrill.



=) hbr1 and i.

tomorrow morning i head for PD for team building. i hope it's not a heavy team building session =(. i will need all the energy i can get for thursday.

seems like the sales have already started =). hehehe. but i think clothes are the last things i need right now. ugh. hahaha. i first, need to completely reorganize my wardrobe, because it is completely a mess! sigh. i need to throw out things i do not need anymore, and designate a spot for working clothes wth.

ok pack for the very last time! tah!

effort on updating.

hello everyone! feels as if my blog has died! working/training life is still just as good. it's tiring, but when you think about the money coming in, it feels alright, hahaha. just try not to think about all the liabilities you have, then life is good.

i've learnt much during my training, but still think that these on-the-job training will be more useful. no point learning things theoretically anymore. nonetheless, there are alway a few things i particularly like learning, for eg, unit trusts, structured products, i really like the laws tied to banking world too. haha. so weird i know.

next week's schedule will be more hyped up with all the skill learning and self image practice! can't wait. oh wells, clothes and make up are girl's favourites /hearts!

i've gained substantial amount of weight but all at the wrong places. sigh. especially the thighs and face. i was way beyond fatter during the first week, but i've cut down on er, intake, and has taken initiative to participate in some sports. hahaha. thus, no longer looking as fat as i was in week one at training! i sound very happy about my fats, yes i am. without a doubt. i look much healthier. breakfast, eating on time, sleeping on time, makes me healthier i guess.

these are some recent pictures (without specs haha). when there's work in life, i spend less time making the effort to whip out a camera to take pictures.

yin wai turned 23 recently, though busy with work, i found some spare time to celebrate this wondrous day with him =) his first birthday with me as a girlfriend. tres memorable. =) however, i am not good with surprises, thus a rather normal birthday dinner and a card, wtf. so cheapo. hahaha. i hope you were happy, baby!

fatter me!

birthday boy at TGIF! =) we couldn't finish our food, cause the portion was hugggge. ok fine, it was just me.

goofy me still try to have fun.

then baby spent some birthday moments with the others. but i only took pictures of the early birds. really, can you tell i no longer can be bothered with taking pictures? hahaha.

patricia n yin ho! were too early. hahaha.

baby and i. and my aunt loves my cotton on top. hahaha. i actually looked really bad in it. but adding on a belt just made it look so grecian, that it actually appears to look nice on me! hahaha.

over the past four weeks, i've developed my own style of my own to work. i love florals and chiffon. anything high waisted, but yet to find a great high waisted working pants. and i've improved on make up skills! i just had to brag about this because i'm literally in love with my new bb cream! it's just so easy, i should've gotten this earlier. hahaha.


it only takes the bb cream, loose powder and blusher to look presentable. =) shhhhoooo proud of myself. i've decided to get the bb cream from skin food after i realized my usual foundation is drying up the skin area beneath my eyes too quickly and doesnt last long enough from 7.30 am to 6.30 pm. and it's mighty mighty oily too. =) proud of my own choice! hahaha, and it's really inexpensive.


anyway, it's time for me to sleep! it's way beyond my usual bedtime. =( more updates next time around!
