Thoughts and experience of a city girl

Work is picking up for me, I am gradually taking support calls and going on-site to provide support. And my manager has given me my first project with Talisman, my senior is actually handling this but since he’s going to be transferred to another country soon, I am supposed to take over from him. I am excited with this opportunity and hope I could deliver as good as my senior.

Done my first presentation for the production team last friday, I am satisfied with the outcome, and I believe my manager was too. Got another presentation coming up, more technical this time but looking forward. My team members have all been nothing but supportive, I really count my blessings when it comes to work. It’s just unfortunate that 2 senior colleagues will be transferred this December, nonetheless, they are all an inspiration to me.

My health, I will be finishing my last 2 sessions of back reconditioning program by tuesday. There’s some improvement but nothing that significant. One thing for sure, I won’t enrol in this kind of program anytime soon, cos it’s taking so much of my time and I don’t see immense improvement out of it.

Driving in KL, gosh….arrrgghh…so many ignorant and inconsiderate people out there. There was once I was driving on the fast lane, pretty fast I would say, and this crazy wira driver cut in front of my car out of a sudden, nevermind about that, I thought he was going to accelerate and go along with the speed of the car in front. But no no no….he has to press on his brake! I was so taken aback and thank goodness I managed to brake in time and barely milimeters before hitting his stupid car. His car practically was stalled for a couple of seconds. He showed no guilt and I could tell by him eagerly looking at his rear mirror to see if I did knock into him and then he slowly sped off. I suspect he did that on purpose and might want to get something out of me. Silly, pure stupidity. So many drivers who change lane without signals, use HID lights (irritating!!) and the most fantastic scenario I encountered recently was 3 huge lorry drivers(one carrying a crane), all in one lane each and at the same speed! All the cars were practically being held back by their selfish act. Just because the 2 lorry drivers on the right think they could be faster than the other by a tiny bit, so they tried to overtake and rammed their accelerator but obviously the effort is to the drain. Only created frustration among other road users.

Enough rambling for now…looking forward to Greece/Italy next weekend. Til then, adios!
