Sick of waiting

My day started off with boredom. Nothing much to do in office so I practically sit and stare at the desktop's screen saver. Sometimes, I get the chance to send documents to different departments at different floor and that's the time I really walk slowly. Anyway, another staff started calling me Jenie. I don't know how did they come up with that name but I have yet to correct them. Should I?

Mum messaged and asked me to hang out in KLCC because she's having dinner til 9ish so I walked to KLCC and watched


This movie is ok, not too bad and not fantastic. Why? Because 2 different mid 30s Caucasian men were sitting at my both sides and they kinda distracted me from having my movie-cinema-me moment!! They are both lookable and tall and well build and lookable. ANYWAY, they distracted me by their occasional laughter and taking-a-sip-from-my-drink time. The left guy put his drink on his right side while the right guy put his drink on his left side and KLCC's seat is weird as in the drink holder is quite low and between seats unlike normal mid valley's GSC where the holder is sticking out at the end of the arm rest. So when they want to take a sip, they got to look down or sit up and move forward to find their cup. Their frequent movements at different times is very distracting.

Another distracting point is Tom Cruise himself. He is so hunky and so lookable (ignore acting skills)!!!! I don't like how Cameron acts by the way.


Movie finished at 9pm and mother told me she'll finish by 10pm so I went to Kinokuniya and read the book that I planned to buy from MPH the other day (The Swan Thieves). The song that they broadcast was an excellent choice!! All the violin and orchestra pieces were splendid and so relaxing. Anyway, I'm glad that I haven't buy the book because after reading 30 pages, the story was not as good as I expected. BUT I am very much into another book-House Rules
House Rules. The synopsis- (high light to read)HOUSE RULES is about Jacob Hunt, a teenage boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject – in his case, forensic analysis. He’s always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do…and he’s usually right. But then one day his tutor is found dead, and the police come to question him. All of the hallmark behaviors of Asperger’s – not looking someone in the eye, stimulatory tics and twitches, inappropriate affect – can look a heck of a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel -- and suddenly, Jacob finds himself accused of murder. HOUSE RULES looks at what it means to be different in our society, how autism affects a family, and how our legal system works well for people who communicate a certain way – but lousy for those who don’t.

Why sick of waiting? The last longest time I've waited for my mom to come fetch me was 8 hours in front of the school where I worked as a temporary teacher and it was a Friday, far from my house, raining heavily the whole afternoon till night and all school activities were canceled. Last night, I waited for my mom at the street outside MPO for 1.5 hours (from 10pm) and it was SCARY because my phone died so I don't know if my mom forgot me and the taxis keep honing to attract passengers!!! Gosh, I just hate waiting for her.

Today's sign language class was fun because we learned how to describe object and colours with our hands =)

I just realised that my office is so strategic!! I can go KLCC, Times Square, Pavilion, Bukit Bintang, Sungei Wang, Monorail and LRT by just walking!! Whee~~

I have been watching 1 episode of Supernatural every night and I have yet to get scared by that show. The only episode that managed to surprise me was the Episode 10-Asylum where it all happened in the burned down abandoned sanitarium.

my 1st sign language class

Before I start my post concerning the title, let me tell you about my job today.

Reached office early like usual and begged for work so I got to do filing again. I did filing last Friday and it was easy and fun. But today it was getting on my nerves because the files are not arranged systematically, they were all over and the same company having few files with different years everywhere!! It was so frustrating because I swear I saw company XYZ seconds ago but I can't find it when I need it. There were 7 huge tall cupboard for the files mind you. Anyway, I end up with bad headache and was so glad when it was 5.30pm.

The staff that gave me most of the work keeps telling me I worked too fast. I guess she's having problem giving me work because I can't do much and the stuff that I can do are finishing LOL. Maybe I can volunteer to sort their sucky filing cupboards. That will definitely fill up my time.

I have many paper cuts on my hands =(

******************************************

So, my 1st sign language class was...quiet. We'll be having 2 instructors. One normal lady and another deaf lady. Today's class was conducted by the deaf lady and it was err, honestly, not very exciting. I was actually having palpitations while waiting for the class to start because I thought it'll be fun. I can actually see my shirt on my left chest beating along my heart beat!! So, it did not occur as what I've expected.

Class started off with introduction by the normal lady telling us about all the activities. OH YA!! We have ASSIGNMENTS and TESTS!!!! Gosh!! Attending deaf related activities consist of 40%!! I don't mind at all but the thought of written assignments (50%) is just so sad. Anyway, after the normal lady left, we were told (signed) to not talk, not to sign and not to write in the next 4 classes. We're allowed to start signing after the 4th lesson. AND this level only includes signing alphabets and numbers which I already know since Al lend me her sign language book last year.

The next 45 minutes includes us drawing and signing to explain about ourselves. So I drew this. Don't laugh, I didn't use a mouse to draw so it was not this ugly.
There were 7 of us so it took up quite a lot of time especially this aunty who is about 40 / 50 years old which have this huge family tree. Next, we learn to sign 1D, 2 D and 3D shapes.

I guess I can only look forward to attend those deaf related activities and learn their culture. Let's hope I'll be able to pass this class to proceed to the next level and be able to sign smoothly before I start my next semester.


PS: I don't know why people always assume that I'm a banana (don't know how to speak and write in Chinese) Jeez...

swing


When was the last time you sat on a swing and swung as high as you can while looking up in the sky trying to reach it??

It was so exhilarating!!!

It was so fun!!

It was so relaxing!

You guys should try NOW!!!

Nope, it's not childish to sit on a swing.
There's no age limit to it =P

time flies!!!

Wow, one week has passed and I'm still here minding my own things. Nothing much to blog about now since work is boring. But I just explored Crowne Plaza and discovered a MPH there!!! Whee~~

I'm going to spend most of my 1hour lunch time at that MPH. Was already tempted to get my hands on this book but I have no $$ =(

Oh ya, the 2 staffs that say behind me went facebook and was teaching each other how to use it after my boss left. I was a good girl, never surf net at all =)

OK, that's all now. Was planning to go uni to continue downloading my Eyeshield 21 but mom told me to stay at home so here I am. Just finished watching Benjamin Button and 3 episodes of Supernatural. Now mom is using the laptop (belongs to my bro's) to watch Back Up Plan.

Feel like watching A Team and Knight and Day but A Team is off cinema already =(

boss hates me I think lol

On my 1st day, the staff that introduced me to the surrounding told me I can surf the internet but not into sites like facebook so on my 3rd day of work, I was so bored so I practically was reading all sorts of news from Yahoo!! I even got to know about Megan Fox's news before it was announced in radio LOL!!!

Anyway, at 2ish pm, another staff (lower ranking) told me I cannot surf internet whenever I like and my boss (an AGM lady) have been looking at me quite a few times when she pass by my place. Oh ya, I sit at a very strategic place. All AGM, CEO and high ranking people need to pass by my cubicle to get to their office BUT the computer faces inwards so I won't really notice them (but they can see what I am doing) LOL.

So after that only did I realise why that AGM suddenly on that day keep asking me to do stuff for her (she was absent on my 1st day) like photocopy this, send the document to XX floor. Hehehe, cool right?? Reading blogs right in front of her nose!! HAHA (sorry, my bad but I really have nothing to do!!)

The staff that was kind enough to tell me gave me this 2009 file to check so I end up checking it til 5.25pm when that AGM called me to photocopy another document then send it to the 9th floor. By the time I came back it was 5.40pm (OT! OT!) and I got to rush for 7pm ballet!!! Well, I guess I deserve it =P

On my 4th day, I was a good girl. I did not surf internet and I checked the files that was given to me on Tuesday (2010's file) and Wednesday (2009's file) 4 to 5 times!!! Just to fill up my 8 hours!!! So bored!! I yawned gazillion times but never fell asleep even though I really felt like it. Now, this is what I call gaji buta!! I don't like it at all!! And feeling useless now is as bad as feeling aimless before I started working.

I'll beg for work to do today. I.D.O.N.T.C.A.R.E!!
