...another sleepless night....

...i dont know how long have i been tossing in bed again. lots of thoughts and worries are flooding my brain. am feeling so pressured and disturbed. My performance review is in Dec. if i were to leave my department, i have to decide by this week. if i were to leave, my performance review with my current manager will be so awkward. and he jst told me today that i did well this year. this must be one of the most painful decision i have to make this year. if my work sucks, or if my manager's an *******, then this would be so much easier for me. can someone please guide me.

*sigh*

at a cross road..

sigh.. i cant sleep.. been tossing around in bed for an hour... although i am dead tired. it's monday night... the most tiring day of the week.

Anyway, i m undecided. I have been given a choice to 1) stay in my current department 2) transfer over to another department.

Option 1 : What is keeping me here... or shooing me away

1) during my job interview, nobody including the MD believes in me, nobody believes that this young and inexperience girl can do well in a customer (c-level) facing job... but yet my current manager fought to bring me into the team.

2) unfortunately my manager is an extremely technical guy who is pretty bad in managing people. he does not provide guidance, or coaching. he believes in throwing me out at the sea, bringing me back when i am seen drowning. yet, when i drown he doesnt tell me why i drown.

3) my manager speaks very well of me to others, resulting in me being awarded as appreciated staff, and been identified as key talent in the company. yet i m empty inside. and ppl do talk behind me...

4) i am dealing with many nasty sales ppl who are cunning, scary, impatient, hypocrite... all the bad stuff... and my manager is not able to protect me from them.

5) i m currently software products/tools specific, meaning i m the hammer and nail without given any instructions or menu. practically, i can built anything (houses, furniture, toys, buildings, playgrounds etc) but just not given any instructions...meaning you're stuck with tools, without menu/instructions. in short, you can do alot with me, but when u want me to build a house, i m useless, unless u have the brains and know how to use me.

6) i have pretty good work life balance, leaving office at 5.30-6pm everyday.

7) i m not optimizing my learning experience and opportunity here, i just try things out through the trial and error way...trying my luck day by day without any specific directions.


Option 2 : Get out of here, challenge myself another step further

1) thanks to my manager's good words of me, another department has approached me and has offered me to join their team

2) this department specializes in a specific solution, meaning the nail and hammer comes together with instructions and menu. but this menu only builds houses... all kinds of houses including semi-d, bangalow, low cost flats, apartments, condos etc...In short, it specializes in Financial Solution like BaselII, Risk Management...(ping would understand these terms)

3) this department's manager is way more capable and is very willing to coach me.

4) financial industry is always the more secure sector, with better pay and career path. better opportunity for next role. but i dont quite like numbers.

5) if i join this department, it means... challenging myself all over again... gone are those flexible lazy days.

6) this department could coach me to do things the right way instead of banging my head around, and i drown less.

7) joining this team also means working hard. not so easy life.

Salary and remuneration? will be the same. but option 2 may pay better when i leave the company.

sigh...i hope you girls understand my dilemma.... i need to give an answer by this week. i really dont know which is better for me, or what i want for myself. sigh.. i cant sleep. i dont want to regret over the decision i make. i cant decide.. feeling so lostt... help!

so quiet around here!

hey girls! why has it been so quiet arnd here? i saw from fb yesterday that chin ye's married! :) lol... who's next? ironic that time's passing by so quickly.. almost another yr will be gone and OMG.. we'll be 26!!!!! jst OMG. i DONT BELIEVE IT! and i m nottt happpy to be there at 26!! :S

anyway girls... what happened to our breakfast sessions? each time we plan for something it's always only me and chris who turned up. the rest... mia. what happened laa? eh, one of these days we should have another girl's night out... go listen to jazzy music, sip fruit juice (can be something else for the rest of you), cuci mata abit..etc... *before we celebrate our 30's.. (OMG!! Thirties!)

gonna be friday again girls... but i m not at all excited abt it. i wonder why.
anyone's free to go shopping with me on sat?? i need a shopping + food therapy for de-stress...

Just for the Chicas

As usual came to work, feel bored and looking for some motivation and i found this & should remind myself every morning lol...

"Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need."

-Voltaire

Well my work so far has been boring cuz i dont have much to do yet, is my 3rd week already.....lets c when the bomb is coming...another quote i hope it works...

"Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it's possible for you. And then close your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it."


-Jack Canfield. Jack is the creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul. I love this quote because it outlines a specific process that you can go through to attract more of what you want into your life: believe, visualize, and express gratitude. This is what I'm doing everyday for each of my goals. Now, some people might say "that sounds like some mystical mumbo-jumbo". Maybe. Jack Canfield does it and he's a multi-millionaire. You can put it this way, it's another tool in your arsenal. The people who are doing this process everyday are going to have this over you (if you don't do this). I think this is an excellent process and I encourage everyone to: believe, visualize, and express gratitude every single day. You will be shocked by the results.

Announcement, cHiCaS~!!

girls, Dr. yap hsiu lye's home! let's meet up before she flies back to the arms of nick again!!

pretty chan wont be around this weekend, therefore is everyone okay for Friday night? let's head over to the Curve's Little Penang so that Dr. lye can eat char kuey teow, cendol, asam laksa, prawn noodles, nasi lemak, lobak, curry laksa, asam fish etc etc all in a night :D

hi girls

i'm sorry i have been MIA for so long.
my life has been non-stop working/studying for about 2 months now.
i'm officially out of my house officer year, and i'm now called a "senior house officer" or a fy2. very scary, because although i have 1 year's experience behind me, the responsibility is also greater and i still feel like a junior inside.
bin, that was a really good video. i guess all of us, at some point, no matter what we're doing, will feel low and crappy. i know i do.
i really hate my job at times, because it just seems like i went into it naively thinking i was going to magically make everyone better. but there's more paperwork than patient care, i don't even like or sympathise with some of my patients, and sometimes the demands and pressures put upon me just make me feel like giving up. i thought patients would be grateful and appreciative, but sick patients and patients in pain are not necessarily grateful, doctors are getting more and more involved in litigation issues, and then there are the repeat offenders who come in all the time because of self inflicted problems, ie alcoholics, drug abusers, etc etc. sometimes i wish for an ideal world where everyone would remember to take their medication, do as they're told but it doesn't happen that way. i already feel so tired of this job and i've not even gone all the way up the ladder yet. i've seriously considered quitting as well.
so besides that, i've just sat for my mrcp exam (it's a specialist exam for those wanting to specialise in medicine) yesterday which is a hard paper with a 70% fail rate. i'm back on surgery on call today from 8am until 9pm, and tomorrow. on friday i start nights from 8pm until 9am and i finish on sunday. so there's my weekend gone. when i finish on monday 9am, i get the rest of the day off and then i'm back doing 8-5pm the rest of the week. my bank account has gone into overdraft a few times because i don't have the time to go to the bank any more, i have to do everything online. but hey still, that's life isn't it.
thanks for all your birthday wishes and happy belated to the july, august and september babies!!! i will update another day when i have the time but but but i just wanted to tell you all that i've booked my plane ticket home for oct 10 and i'm arriving oct 11! will be in msia for roughly 2 weeks. so i will see all of you then and i can't waitttt because i miss all of you so so much. heading off to sleep now for another 13 hour shift tomorrow ....... wish me luck!

love hsiu lye

What do you do when you fall down?

i'm here

hello hello!! ok let me update myself.....august was examinations ( meaning student taking exams and teacher's stressing their life out)....september ( recording) my church SIB is coming out with an album and i've been going in to the studio every other day....till like 5am in the morning....ok lar 4 something..by the time i hit the sack.. the solat( aaahhhumwam pum ) is on.....
and yes i don't know what is in store for me in oct.nov and dec....

it's 8am in the morning and im going to krabi for a wedding...am singing for the wedding and i'm looking forward to this break in a long time...my first holiday for this year.....

oh well i think sometimes we put in 110% but we believe that we only get what 40% of what we've put in... but this is life.,..

it comes to a point sometimes i tell myself i'm sick and tired of teaching,....im sick
of this and sick of that...but when we think and realise what we can contribute...maybe we would feel a little better.....like the other day...my student came and told me teacher i want to be a music teacher can ar? well it's stuff like that that keeps you going....so always try and look for the silver lining at every dark cloud....

i miss you all very much and i hope that we can catch up soon!! chris promise after krabi i'll be seeing you!!!!


love you guys
yin

bean sprouts..

Bean oh bean..

we ve been playing "Farmville" on facebook and i guess those money that we earned there will never ever be in our purse to be splurged when we walk around shopping malls.

well, i guess it s true, like sin lee says..there are times when we are just so down and when we reflect back..we are thinking of all the "WHAT IF's?" but, bean...we ve gone through a long journey to get to where we are today.

let me tell u something, i know someone who used to be able to afford to drive a skyline..but now drives a kancil. if it was me, i would have die-ed (i know..i know..dead) asking me to have a leap in my economical status. 

who s not in debt..wana check out my credit card bill? Gary s kept my credit cards...muahaha..and with all these debt..hmm..u would cry if u were me. and bean, u r very successful compared to some of us. u ve got a home to go home too..mum cooks u dinner..eh..my mum s thousands of miles away k? i ve got ajinomoto in my almost every meal..i think my chances of being lydia sum is way much higher than urs...u at least hit 4 mins in the gym..mine...barely 4 secs..

just do ur best...if u ve done ur best, done compare urself with others. u r in ur own league.

well well, arent u glad u have chicas like us? well, i know...at times, i do post up things similar to this and then i ll have u guys telling me that things would be fine..so here we are bean, seriously, starbucks on sin lee..sin lee is so ever-beautiful...smart..funny (trying my luck on gettting my cuppa coffee too..eh..but sin lee..pls dont have that pregnancy attitude of having difficulty on choosing between iced or ice blended k? ) ahahahahha!

ANYWAYS,  i m looking forward to the year-end as i would be terrribly busy. am packed for my marketing schedule in Oct..and in Nov, i m making a trip back to Kuching to meet up with Gary's family. and then in Dec, i ve got my SuperCamp and then right after, i m leaving for Guangzhou for my hols and Gary s coming over to visit my parents. so yeah..and guess what bean, i havent seen chin su yin for years..i dunno how she looks like anymore! hmm....

okies..am at work..not FARMVILLING..but am working..sigh..and they havent sacked me yet...damn... and my pay, bean...if u ever have a peep at my payslip...u d rather be a prostitute...i m serious...

heheheh! much love to all of u...who s coming back? when?when? 

starbucks

sinlee i want starbucks please thank you.

bin ah bin everyone who has a car has it on loan and everyone who has a home is in debt. ask my sister :)

you have super dead sexy friends, thats all you'll ever need LAH OKAY?

October....

Ah bean..is October coming and don't be so negative!

" Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall.
Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll"

i believe everyone of us has the obstacles, nonsense that everyone has such a perfect life...melo is waking up midnight answering calls, ping is working til dunno hell wat time, su yin is like running around recording, chris deserve better $$$ while cleaning the shit work, angie chong in US missing us, msia food, haha the list can go on...and im challenging a new role...............

Cheer up! Starbucks on me ok..;)

this is a very sad post...

guess everybody must be really busy with their work and personal life now.. everybody must be now pursuing after their dreams and chasing after their goals before reaching 30, regardless its about getting a good man, getting married, having kids, getting a well paid job, buying a house, completing masters, completing collections of bags.. etc ..etc ...we are all very busy challenging ourselves everyday.

however busy we are, never forget to take really good care of ourselves as we can no longer deny that we are all 25 heading 30. will start noticing that we are aging faster, metabolism starts slowing down, getting tired easily, start noticing fine lines by the eye, below the eye... etc.. etc .. etc..

what draws me to writing this is because my very caring bf has very consistently reminded me out of good will that if i dont take good care of my face and body now, i'll start looking like 'sum tin har' - 'lydia sum'. and nope, i dont want to end up being fat and not so attractive when i've never even been attractive before. cant imagine being ugly all my life. what a loser, no achievement at all! no prime time before.

lately i am abit stressed up at work. it's the last quarter to close deals, meeting targets, and achieving quotas.. and being a sales support, the pressure and stress from the sales managers are mounting up on me. favoritism is showing, and cooping with work has been really tough. signs are showing that i m not performing well and my job's at stake. if someone has to go, i'll be the 1st to be gotten rid off.

yesterday was a very sad day for me. i came home, dad told me it's time to sell my car. things are falling apart and fixing it would cost me more than a new car. before i even get to understand what each button does, i have to say g'bye to my car. buying a new car? i really doubt i can afford another car. it was my pride, now it's going away. i bought it to prove to myself that i could be independent, and i could drive like everybody else. but now .. i m back to square 1. still as useless as before.

i dont know where am i heading to. feeling so lost at the moment. just when i thought i had it all, a career, a reliable and caring but not so romantic man, my very 1st asset-my car... it's all starting to look distance again. so much uncertainty.

i cant recall what used to be my dreams and goals, and what i used to work for. everything feels so meaningless tonight.

Happy Burstday DR YAP ah Lye!

Hey Hsiu Lye! Happy Birthday! Many happy returns of the day! COME HOME SOON! and we ll celebrate at the mamak stall..and try on some cool new eye-lashes! hahaha! and not forgetting, welcome to the 2.5 club! gosh...5 more years before we hit 30 yo! hahaha!

HaPPppY BirTThhDayYY Pingg!!!

bin's posting..

Yes boss.. yes sinlee.. I m blogging .. I m blogging… don’t angry… don’t marah… :D

my life’s a real bore, I cant think of anything to blog about...

I took a Quart of baskin robbins ice cream on the 31^st Aug celebrating independent’s day and I thought I would get ice cream poisoned from overdosed of ice cream. but i survived, punished by a few newly added kgs and a heavier flabby arm accompanied by a higher density of fats on my 3 layer stomach.

And I think I m falling sick… my entire body’s aching.. having a headache.. and water’s dripping from my nose. I can feel that uncle flu's coming to visit. and my aunt P is here for her monthly visit therefore all these are adding to my irritation and frustration.

i cant wait till raya hols... then i can sleep and hibernate like sinlee :D

Holiday? I want holiday in cambodia! Anyone up for Cambodia? Mystical - historical - antique - OooO - Cambodia….

so who's up for holiday end of the year?

WOH LA WOHHH

helo

i have no pictures to post up about my hot and sexy life. but you must believe that i have a hot and sexy life anyway, ok?

it's very hot now in LA and i have my period. i don't like it at all because it makes me very uncomfortable. the hotness, not the period. well the period maybe a bit also

i have two chapters to read for class tomorrow then i have to review one chapter for thursday's class. that about sums up a students life.

OH woh la i'm going for a football game this saturday. i hope that time my period finish already. sigh this is like the period post.

Day 4 in far far away land...

i am getting so jelak of the food here... every morning the hotel has been serving extremly salty bacons, sausages, watery scramble eggs, cheese, fruits and yogurts for breakfast. And as for me, i am really not used to eating fruits early in the morning. so it's bacon and cheese for me. its so fattening and unhealthy. i can see my face bloating up by the day.

And i was almost a roadkilled yesterday while walking over to mango-mng shopping area yesterday. folks here are all wreckless drivers and its also said so in the travel guide. i was almost a scrambled egg on the road. i heard the car speeding over and its scheeching tires stopping about 10cm from me. the idiot driver was smiling. and i had a heart attack.

Anyway, yesterday evening we returned to the castle to capture unfinished spots. we took about 500 photos yesterday :D but nah, i m jst gonna randomly post a few.

checkout the - Royale Turkey :D

a marking of us in Portugese egg tart landdd! -it's actually custard tart, but back in m'sia it's made of egg.

at the St. George Castle...

the castle oversees the entire Lisbon city and its shorelines..

was almost sunset again, so we set off the castle.. and walked back to the hotel enjoying the night views of Lisbon..

Day 2 & Day 3 in far far away land...

I was really wrong about the gloominess and dullness of Lisbon city afterall... after discovering the other part of Lisbon when kangyih's portugese colleagues droved us out for dinner last night.

It seems that Portugal is famous for both its ancient and modern world combined in 1 city. The modern part of Lisbon was so beautiful and it was a pity my camera could not capture night scene well. It was so amazing, beyond any words i could use to describe the modern city. never seen such advance and modern architectures, buildings, city.

So anyway, now back to the ancient part of Lisbon, till i charge my camera for the modern Lisbon city this weekend.

Day 2

On our way to Santa Apolonia to get lost in Alfama... and to discover St. George Castle.

and along the way, we passed by the military museum, which we will not enter until we get the tourist pass this weekend :D

along the way to Alfama... and we were lost.

by the time we reached the castle it was almost sunset, and we were chased away by the guard. but later we met another nicer guard who told us we could come back tomorrow using the same pass, just to tell the other guard his name. -hope that works. will be returning to the castle later today. and here are some shots we took before the guard chased us away..

check this out, the moon on the side is always bigger and brighter!! hahaha it's true afterall... moon was like 50cent m'sian coin and super bright... could lit up the pathway. really pretty!

A random shot of us when we were lost, didnt know how to get back down to the city by foot. it was almost dark, and we couldnt see the map.. so we just walked and walked and walked.

and stumbled upon this famous monastery or a church, known as 'Se'. - only foundout when I saw it in the travel book later when i was back in the hotel. after walking a distance, we miraculously reached Baixa and enjoyed it's romantic night view. some of the food we had for dinner. each meal on average cost us about 40-50Euros. about RM200-250 per meal! i missssss m'sian food. for that price i was paying, i could get 1 table of 7-8 dish in a proper chinese restaurant. Abalone and sharkfin also can! and finally we found the subway and were on our way back to the hotel!!

Day 3

this is another famous monastery known as Jeronimos. Was built more than 500 years ago, and it took about 50 years to built..

now i can proudly challenge everyone, 'yes! the moon on the other side's bigger and brighterrr!!!' :D
