So What's Going On Now?

Okay, as i promised, am going to write a decent content today.

Basically what's going on with my life right now.

I joined a new company last 4th January. I wish I can blab a lot of good stuffs about it. But seriously, I havn't got much. Its a small company. To me small or not doesn't really matter but when the place you joined lack of staff, its somewhere somehow going to bother you. Especially when you hold a post like mine. When I joined, apart of me, the Executive Secretary and my boss( she's a local Chinese celebrity, socialite and the Group Strategist) there's a PA and a Marketing Director. And now, the Marketing Director resigned(his last day was Friday) and the PA went for maternity leave. And one Marketing girl was hired. Came in last week, on the day the PA went for labor. Oh god, now, I have to juggle out almost everything except marketing. The PA job includes HR, Finance and Admin. Imagine that I have to go out most days of the week with my boss for meetings and have to go back to office right after to settle the office jobs. Pretty tiring eh? What's more when your boss ain't paying your traveling expenses. That's another matter.

Its quite confusing really. I mean, the job prospects are pretty exciting. Its not boring at all. And my boss treated me well in terms of communication. Almost like friends but of course with the big R.E.S.P.E.C.T. I'm always tiptoeing on very very thin line. She's really delicate. You know the type of person who can yell at you on top of her voice because things are not how she likes, and laugh, smiling, hugging you the next second?? On a positive aspect, I get to follow her to glamorous launchings, meet notable famous people in various industries in Malaysia, and stumble upon great places that I never imagine myself will ever have chance to see with my naked eyes, let alone step on its ground.

The question now is, would you sacrifice in order to get rare, awesome, hard to get or rather unique work experience, while most part of your days are spent in tense mode, because your boss is like something in The Devil Wears Prada movie? I hope I will never label her as Devil. Because who loves to work with a Devil? Put your hands up!Ha ha. But yes, if you are wondering how my work is like, its like the PA of the Devil. Plus, I have to do extra job(i.e the admin, HR and Finance job and get to know all the company products, with perfection!)

I just wish that, my boss will be kind enough to sponsor my Blackberry AND the monthly bill, my traveling expenses or at least my parking allowance. After all they are for work purposes aite? Damn, my money is smaller now! How can you tell your boss this stuffs without sounding too demanding? How to make her feel its totally reasonable??(I heard she's stingy). SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL MY 3-MONTHS PROBATIONARY PERIOD ENDS????

SO what's going on with my life besides work??

I always regard myself as an INDEPENDENT girl. Right after university, I chose to live on my own, renting with friends. But now, I moved back to my parents house. Yerp! Something that I never thought of doing after so long, especially now that I am married. Since we are selling our Kemuning house, and we had to give up our rented house right about the same time, we became nomads. Stayed with my in laws for about two weeks or so. And one very hard day at work I felt like having my mom cook for dinner and sleep at Kajang house for the night. I just felt very strenuous after seeing blue garbage bags and duffel bags became our wardrobe at Superman's sister's house. And I didn't know where my jewellery was. You know, I am very attached to my clothes and jeweleries. So so sad! That night I felt so much calmer. Slept peacefully on my newly bought king size bed. The next morning, I decided to tell my dear Superman, that I don't mind to travel so far from Kajang to Damansara everyday if that is what takes to have calm after work hours and a decent big wardrobe for our stuffs. Furthermore, its free! So we transfered our stuffs to my mom house during the weekend. Second weekend of January 2010.

Now we are looking for another property to call home. Perhaps by the time our money rolled in,, in about 3 to 4 months time, we already found the house. We argued alot where and what kind of property to buy. We have a very different taste. That what makes us not bored of each other. Consistently trying to figure out what's the best decision. He loves landed house while I adore condominiums. He loves trucks, I love sedan. Funny eh?

Tomorrow will be another Monday of January. I'm keeping my hopes high for a better less strenuous, more exciting week. How about you?
