Notting Hill

Random

hmm quoting the same old sentence - how time flies.

this is the second month in the uk and it is almost over. the weather has been good lately and it seems summer is near (or already is). can see people smiling and apparently everyone seems to have good mood with big smiles on their faces. 

been busy lately with work too. not much complaint as everywhere is the same. i guess it is just depending on how you cope with the stress. demand or request from seniors/ leads could be unreasonable but who cares - if you were the one who has been assigned on that particular job, please get it done on time or else people would just blame that you are not effective/ efficient enough. hmm. surviving skill plays an important role. lol. 

sister in law has just delivered few days ago and the baby girl - my niece looks cute! i think everyone must be very happy with the newborn but too bad i cant really share the joy. called mom once and heard the baby cried. it is an indescribable feeling, somehow feel very touching.

in year of 2012, i am glad that i am still achieving the goals that i have been set. 

a letter to grandma

this is the first mother's day without your presence
people always say time heals
i know it works out well up to a certain extent
but not on a special occasion like this


memories are flashing back
i start to reminisce the old times when you were still around
your voice, your advice and your graciousness
looking at the pics made my heart wrenches


if i were given a chance to meet you again
i would tell you how much i love you..


thanks for showering me with love 
you will always be with me on my mind

Dream

hi

i am weng hoong

i used to dream a lot

how to fly high up in the sky

how to dive deep under the sea

the future ahead is always filled with uncertainties

i am not sure how far i could go

but i will continue to dream

until they have all come true

wish me luck

time flies. 


it seems like things are getting back on the right track after spending 5 weeks in the uk. i have already stopped counting how many days i am in the uk, guess this is one of the positive changes. 


unexpectedly the workloads in this company are heavy. time given to complete a task could be ridiculously unreasonable. for instance a study which was supposed to finish in 5 days but the senior forced me to finish in 3 days. i dont mind working overtime, it is just that they should have considered things like this is my first time working on such a study and i would expect myself to spend more time in studying the cases before producing the report. this will in fact affect the quality of the work produced. 


well... i am not complaining but just want to express my thought. fortunately things have been turning out on the good side whenever i encountered problems. the director had revised the hours and i have been allocated 5 days to finish this particular work. after all every cloud has its silver lining. =)


will be off to scotland later and hope this trip could rejuvenate my tiring mind before returning to the battlefield. 

missing you

Grievance

black and white seems to be very important especially consensus has to be made in between different parties.


i was supposed to be provided with 1st month free accommodation in the uk but i had only stayed in the hotel for one week due to the fact that i managed to find a room therefore i moved out earlier. prior to moving out i spoke to the admin if i could have the remaining balance from the hotel expenses credited into my account since i move out earlier. she agreed that this should not be a problem. things went well and i moved to a new place and was waiting for the 1st month salary. 


unfortunately when i checked my account balance today i found out that they never banked in the remaining balance into my account. i spoke to the boss with regards to this and what he told me was that i will not be paid anything from the balance. i was like wtf because this contradicted with what the admin and i had agreed. he further explained that: "you are not supposed to make any money from the company through this way, by right you should have found your accommodation prior to coming to the uk and in fact the company is not going to take the responsibility for funding your stay in the uk".


i was quite surprised when he told me this, didnt we agree that i will be provided with 1st month accommodation in the uk because this is my 1st time coming to the uk? didnt we agree that the balance will be credited into my account if i were to move out earlier? i could not really find a place in the uk not until i have seen the places and rooms myself. cant he understand this basic theory that i am not supposed to simply rent a room without viewing the room and its surrounding, as well as the safety aspect? if i never moved out earlier then i do not have to pay for the 1st month rental in advance. when i was trying to explain this to him what he told me was "we appreciate that you have found a room this quick and save the company money". @@


alright i am foolish enough that i did not instruct the admin to prepare a black and white stating that the refund will be credited to my account. somehow the boss is wrong to comment me saying that i am trying to make the money from the company through this cheap skate way, i never looked for a room before coming to the uk and etc. 


this is very insulting and it really hurts! A good lesson learnt indeed.


do allow me to do this.. £"£^$"^%£&$*&%(^*(&^)&)(*&)(*)(
