The Heat is On

Today the bosses treat us and all the staff to lunch.For the Chinese staff they ate together at the restaurant and for the malays they gave us the money to eat.We decided to go with KFc and ate at the office.After the lunch again they opened a table and this time the deal is much more higher.Before that a client came and gave all the staff an angpow before they start gambling..The bosses asked me to join them..but I got excused by saying that I didn't know how to play 'em.Then the boss released me and the other co-worker early.

In other updates nowadays the weather is quite hot.Every night I ended up woke up in the middle of the night sweating.So I am planning to get an affordable 1HP air-conditioner in my next paycheck.It seems like I have to cancel the plan to buy the Xbox this April...I did survey the electrical shop nearby and the cheapest around is Mistral for RM800.The guy at the shop said that the model sold like "goreng pisang panas".They ordered 100 units before Chinese New Year and it is sold out including the display set.On the day that I came to the shop they have installed 22 units that day.

A little bit about work.I have settled auditing the Hardware shop and now I moved on a Tepung Beras mill.This time it is darn hard.They print the ledger by months,the invoice,voucher is everywhere.According to the staff the accountant also is so hard to deal with since he is old old man and still use conventional method.Besides they also have construct own factory,so it is darn hard to do verification of assets.I have to go through all the invoices for the construction.

Soroton 2 Bulan

So it's been a month or two since last I wrote...So many things has happenend even I don't know how to sum it in only one entry...All this while I didn't have the time to update the blog absolutely caused by the abundance workload.But I did find a time to go to Kuala Lumpur to get a new system replacing the old 1999 celeron system..a week before

So finally this is the major upgrade I made to the old system after replacing the hard disk and cd-rw some time ago...This time I got a used Pentium 4 1.7ghz and a Gigabyte motherboard that supports sdram for total of rm250..A new black coloured casing with side panel for rm 76..a new optical mouse and a Samsung keyboard..To complement the black set I planned to buy altec lansing atp3 during the visit to Low yat but realising that I travel with bus..I cancelled the plan and instead I bought the set for rm 175 in Ipoh..20 bucks higher than what I can get in Lowyat Plaza..A friend of mine also loaned me a Geforce Fx5200 since he's not using it much at the moments..

During the visit to Kl I got a chance to meet a lot of friends since they also paying a visit to the 'rumah kongsi' during that week.We got to chat a lot of our experience during the practical training..So during the visit I got a couple of dvd's since they sold it 3 for ten at Sg Wang plaza..Besides I got to loan some other titles includes The terminal(absolutely brilliant movie...),King arthur and Yamakasi..I also got few drama series...Smallville season 4 the O.c season 2, a few divx movies and video clips..

A little bit about work..I was doing just fine in the company..At the time I were writing this the company is on holiday for a week...So it's like a midterm holiday for me..the bosses also give me an angpow and a lot of oranges....I learned a lot during the time here...Audit,Tax,Wordstar,Lotus 123,cantonese and a lot more...They also opened a table for gambling one day before the holiday..Of course I didn't join them...On the day we got an angpow everybody has a smile on their face all day at work..the staff there also got a bonus..we celebrated the day at KFC and spend rest of the day with a lot more talk than work..

With the new system I got hands on Need for Speed Underground 2 and Medal of Honour Allied Assault..NFSU2 was nice with the new gameplay that incorporates a free ride just like Grand Theft Auto..Medal of Honour is just normal..It is an old game with a lot of expansion pack..but I did enjot it a little..My next plan with the system is to get rid of the old monitor an get a spanking new 17" flat monitor..or I just paint it black to settle the problem...

My Jpa's allowances also getting lower day by day..It's just 2 months and I have spend 70% of the money..I bought a Tv,mp3 player,the PC,some clothes and just like that the money goes..If I continue to develop this type of habit I might face the problem in the next future..I just can resist the temptation to spend when I have cash in hand.

Now..my father goes prepaid on the fixed line at home because of the unbearable bills every months..So I don't know whether I can go online at home next time.The system incorporates the use of Ring-Ring card the the topup denomination of rm20 and rm50.The internet callls is higher by rm0.05 per minute.the salesman also did warn that the internet connection might be slightly lower. So, for the time being I only have the chance to go online during the weekend at cyber cafe.

I don't what else to write...Maybe some other time later...........
