Friday Morning

It's now 6.43am and I'm not working!

The weather is about 28-29 degree- Cool and nice outside!

Today, I'll spend my time....

- Continuing my TVB series of course (Anyway, I've finished 'The Little Nyonya')

- 煲凉茶! (WIP)

- Waiting for husband to finish work at 1pm

- Visiting the construction site

- Accompanying husband for a hair cut

- Grocery shopping

It's now 7.27am....and I'm knocking off now..

Before I left, something to share you after my working hour at 8.15pm. Guess what? A nut pee in front of me and others in the train some-more! I could describe in just a word- GROSS! GOD, what happen to the world? (Luckily, he didn't show his X)

Hi Hi

Just drop by to say Hi before going to work!

Ya, I'm starting at 4.45~9.45 (5 hours shift)

That's the reason I'm still here, blogging! :)

(FYI, I'm in the office, taking calls now)

Recently, I'm watching a Singapore drama- The Little Nyonya '小娘惹'. This drama reflected the life of  a nyonya with tears and laughter..I'm just half way through.. Still lots more to go. Perhaps, let me briefly introduce you the drama

Title:  The Little Nyonya '小娘惹'

Episode: 34

Staring: Jeanette Aw 欧萱, Pierre P'ng 方展发, Xiang Yun 向云, Felicia Chin 陈靓萱

Synopsis:  A life of a maid in Huang family, becoming a second mistress and 'torturing' life continued....

 

Anyone watching?

WIP- Part II

I have new neighbor!

FYI, my next-door neighbor started their construction a week earlier than us. Unfortunately, we still have no chance meeting the owner yet (my neighbor). We used to visit the site when we're free (is about 5 -8mins from our current location). We did notice that there are a few more construction to be going on, however, till now still they haven't start yet !(Awaiting building license,perhaps?) At this stage, only the two of us commencing the construction...

I received a letter from our builder that we need to attend 4 meetings during the construction:

- Brickwork Meeting

- Ceramic Tiler Meeting

- First Practical Completion Inspection

- Final Completion Inspection 
 

Hopefully, we could move in before summer. Normally, it took about 6-months to complete the construction! From the estimation time length, it should be in August 2011. We could take a month for preparation (e.g. painting, flower/ grass planting and etc) as August is "Ghost Festival" (July in Chinese calendar). Anyway, we will see how it goes. Perhaps, it might complete sooner. Who KNOWS?

In the meantime, of course, I will definitely calculating/budgeting for the new house (surveying for furniture and electrical appliance) I did show this to Angie. Maybe I should share it with you too!

Before that, I have been visiting shops (IKEA and other furniture shops) but can't really find the ONE. Therefore, I decided to check out from ebay website and finally I saw this! The problem is now I have no place to keep it (currently, I'm just renting a room!) I wish they could keep that in their depot until my house is ready. Unfortunately, they are only able to keep that for a month. I'm thinking of renting a small container- still awaiting their reply :)

What do you think of?

WIP-Part I

Stage 1: Earthwork

Stage 2: Slab

What a relief!

 Had been working for a week without break

Finally, I've my break

:)  * Just one day :(

Nice to be at home

Listening to Puff Daddy, Nelly Furtado, Neyo...

Blasting the speaker to max

Happily singing in the room

Just me...ALL ALONE

Husband is not around

That's always a good thing (sometimes)

Hahah..

Next week, I'm just working 30 hours/week

BTW, I'm on BOH (back of house) AGAIN on Wed and Thu

[ not been on this queue for ages]

Will be making calls to cyclone victims to check out 

whether their service is up running or not?

What about you? How did you spend your beautiful Sunday?

贱man!

近来从友人口中听说....

分了手,男方还向女友领回所有曾经买送的礼物.

过不过分?

一点GENTLEMAN都没有...

那还无所谓.

更过分的是...

更可悲的是...

半夜三更跟人要回!

如果没有的话,就要CASH...

真是OMG!

这男人真的...真的是够CHEAP了!

说老实话,还好发现得早... :) [GAL, You're so LUCKY]

 要不然,那就 "O LI KAT DAI" :(

P/S: 一句话,眼睛长亮点 (老人家说的 heheh)

CNY- Nothing to ME in PERTH

Almost end of day of CNY D2

I guess everyone is enjoying their holiday right now- gathering, steamboat-ing and ang pao ang ang..

I wish I could be one of YOU too

REALLY...(I'm always thinking of!)

Nowadays, as you could hear from the news, cyclone YASI was a mess to the resident in Queensland

Due to that, Perth call centre is busy,busy and busy

(Townsville call centre is temporary closed)

I had been working for 20 hours on CNY D1 & CNY D2

Taking all sort of calls (times flies...)

Ever since I'm back from Malaysia, I have been working for 12 days in 2 weeks...

Of course, GOOD MONEY but NOT ENJOYING at all..

 

Frankly speaking, what am I expecting? MONEY???

Kinda bored- still I need the MONEY wow..

I'm so CONFUSED! :(

Man's Best Friend- P2

I'm back to Perth safely on 24 Jan 2011 at 12pm.

Supposedly, I'm off on 24 Jan. I received a call from my scheduler whether I'm  able start working or not. Without further thought,I went to work at 2pm!
  

Finally, I bought myself a 60mm MACRO lens and a tripod.

Result of 60mm MACRO lens

After 2 weeks holiday, I have been arranged to work 6 days/week (just for this week- I presumed). FYI, tomorrow (26 Jan) is a Public Holiday in Australia- "Australia Day". Again, I'm working! :)  I don't mind working as I'm broke after a trip back to Malaysia. Haha...

Man's Best Friend

This is my dog- Kenji (健二 in Japanese)

Brief introduction about HIM:-

- A gift from sis's friend

- 11 years old

Days in SP - Part 1

I have been busy attending SIL's wedding (since day 1 in SP)

Hahah--I volunteer myself to be the camera-girl

Frankly speaking, there is still more to be uploaded :)

Kindly be patient, ok?

 ~*~*~

My loved one

I haven't been meeting my mum and sis since May 2009.

Of course, I would take this opportunity to reveal them to you guys...

Unfortunately, I can't show my sis (the one in S'pore) as I didn't take any photos of her! :(

Left to Right: 

younger sis-Qxing (pronouced as "Queen"), mum- Mrs. Lee and Hubby- Keng

Home Sweet Home

I'm finally back to my HSH...

Thank GOD for the safe journey

:)

Flying up in the sky

THE TIME HAS COME...

Tomorrow, I'm flying off to Singapore at 9.35pm!

Of course, I'm still working from 7.15am-1.45pm

Will do my last minutes shopping (including visiting bank and etc) after working hour...

:)

*~*~*~*

Yesterday, I bought a AUD16 credit so that I could make calls to landline/mobile using SKYPE

Had made a test call to mum- not breaking up at all

It was absolutely 'crystal clear' during transmission! :)

Guess how much does it cost for that?

Just AUD 0.03/min (much more cheaper than using my 3 cap-plan)

The other thing is, I might considering signing-up the "UNLIMITED Malaysia" (only applicable to landline in Malaysia) and I just need to pay for AUD7.99/month

What's benefit me?

- 10,000min call time (167hour/month)

- Could make calls up to max. 6 hour/day

- Limited to 50 no#/day

Note: If I signed up the yearly subscription, I just need to pay AUD81.48/year[15% discount] (as now I have to pay for AUD29/month for 2 years contracts)

Besides that, I found out where Vodafone is offering Prepaid 365 days recharge (*similar to Hotlink 365)- That's what I'm looking for as well (I might considering this as well when my mobile contract ended)

** I want to save more $$$....That's my main purpose >.<

One-Day Trip

Tomorrow, we're heading to Penguin Island in Rockingham!

You could check out the website: http://www.penguinisland.com.au/ for more information

See ya. 

 NOTE:

Unfortunately, we didn't turn up at Rockingham

Car broke down (battery flat)

Waiting for assistance....

:(

AQWA (Aquarium of Western Australia)

"Tick-Tack", "Tick-Tack"

Xmas is soon approaching, eventually there are SALES all over the mall.

Of course, I have to pamper myself too..

Guess what I get for myself this time? A new watch

 

 

That's the brand!  (I purposely did that)

At first, hubby and I thought of exchanging present during XMas

Unfortunately, we can't think of what to get for each other

Then, I told him I'm looking for a new watch

Luck in on my side, watch is on SALES(up to 50%)

Without much hestitation, I quickly grab one!

As for him, he is looking for a pair of shoe

Still searching for one.....

Sharing is caring!

Today, I received another commendation from a customer.

Normally, the customer will get the TL (supervisor) on call for appreciation

However, this customer wrote a letter to our CEO for appreciation.

Therefore, it's really special and meant a lot to me

That's the reason, I would like to share it with you....

The Envelope

The Letter

P/S: Sam is my name in Australia (Don't be surprise!)

Xmas

We just had our XMAS lunch a week ago and Santa Secret present (exchanging gift among my team). I received a pac of choc,in the meantime I'm giving away a necklace.

Though XMAS is soon approaching, unfortunately I have to work on that day! On the other day, I did get my scheduler to approve my short break in between 26~28 Dec- Plan to have a farmstay or B&B! *26 Dec is Boxing Day (also a PH in Aus)

How are you celebrating your Xmas then?

P/S: I'll meeting YOU in SP in 3 weeks time.

Summer or Spring??

This summer is a bit strange! Why said so?

I don't feel hot at all...

or I would say that we're still enjoying  the spring!

Normally at this time, I could feel the HEAT..

Anyway, can't bother much...

because I can't wait to go back to Malaysia.

:)

Call Quality

Have you heard of this -"Your call will be recorded for quality and coaching purposes." when you trying to reach any call center for assistance?

Nowadays, I could hear my own calls (they just had their system upgraded!) and hope that one day I could share them with you. I personally have no comments with the new system- as long as I did what I 'm supposed to do, then there is nothing much to be scared of! :)

Am I right?

FYI

1. My new home address is 30,Panozza Circle, Maddington,WA, 6109. (haven't started building yet!)

2. Flying back to Malaysia/Singapore in a month time.

3. I received another commendation today.

4. Working from 6-2pm for this entire week.

5. My mum will be visiting Taiwan for a holiday- Safe journey to you! [Note: Don't forget about my Coke]

6. I'm going to receive my pay tomorrow. [That's happen every Tuesday :) ]

7. It's summer now in Perth! (Never ever visit Australia at this time!)

8. I'm OFF on Wed and Thurs (being a "Bo" instead of a "Kang")

9. INSOMNIA yesterday! (Thinking of what to do to the new house!)

10. My sis bought me some wall sticker for the new house!

11. Peaches, cherries, nectarine, apricot seasons'

12. We're planning for a Xmas trip.

13. 1 AUD= RM3, right?

14. Pizza day tomorrow.

15. I'm " 无聊"- (Better stop now!)

My job scope

Since,I have not been blogging for quiet sometime- Perhaps, let me reveal a little bit more about my job scope. When I first joined the organization, we're trained to support ADSL, Cable and Wireless broadband. However, nowadays all the calls were being transferred to Philippines. 

At this stage, we're only supporting the following item...

T-Hub

T-Box

Just let me briefly explain to you what is exactly the 2 of them.

T-Box is a Internet and TV experience- A set top box give you access to FTA TV channel and connect to Bigpond service (BPTV, BP Video, BP Movie) as well as connecting to Youtube. While a T-Hub is more than just a phone- A touch screen where you could connect to Internet easily with just a click.

A year wiser!

Thank you for the birthday treat. I really enjoy it ~ lobster, squid, fish, prawn, scallops and oyster with a piece of cheesecake and a blueberry crumble!

Sharing

I will have the stickers (sample shown as below) on the wall in the new house. You could check out from ebay website. It cost about AUD20++ (including shipping) and above. BTW, these are products from Korea!

Whatever!

Hei all, how are you doing lately? Me? I'm off today and will be working on Sat till next Monday.

This was my second weeks in Thornlie! Everything is smooth sailing at this stage- the most inconvenience thing was, there is no BUS after 7pm. My husband had to pick me at the train station all the time if I'm working late. Later on, we will be visiting Heidi Hunter (our settlement agent) to hand-in the bank-cheque for her. Once the documents being sorted out, we should be able to start  the construction! Frankly speaking, I'm eagerly waiting for the construction.

Yesterday, My TL had a ride on with me (listening to my call). Dione was on a long leave, so Matt  is taking over her job. He's a really young chap (he's a year younger than my sis in Singapore). The first two call were really a satisfactory to me and him. However, my third call  was a DISASTER! The customer was so argumentative. He wanted to speak to my TL (Matt was there too!) and finally, Matt took over the call. If Matt was not around with me at that time, definitely I won't be letting him to speak to my TL. Don't worry about me, that my working life now. You might be getting a compliment on the first call. However, later on you might need to get your TL to be involved! :(

Ya..ya! Another 2 months time, I'll be flying back to Malaysia! (Unknowingly, I had been in Perth for more than a year. Time really flies like an arrow.) My sis knew that I'm going back soon, she had a list of perfume to order..... (I still owe her an IPOD)

What I really want? You can't believe that! First and foremost, I wanna go to "er-jie" to order a table of food and taste them in just a-day! [Listen to me, yup in "JUST A-DAY" as we don't have much time in SP) That's my plan with my husband. Come and join us if you're free. Secondly, we'll be staying in Penang for some shopping and of course Penang food. >.< Besides that, I wanna get some new gadget for my camera- a tripod, micro lenses and a few SD cards. Any idea where should I go for it?

Before blogging, my head comes with a lot of stuffs to "utter" here! Now, it seem to be a blank paper to me....Hahah. I might have to stop here.

Lastly, you guys have a happy working and 

a great weekend ahead!

Love.

Our First Night

Today will be the first night sleeping in Thornlie.

Not sure how will it be?

Better place. Fresher air

I'm moving out tomorrow....

We found another better place....Still in Thornlie!

and we're only paying AUD140/week including 200GB Internet connection

;)

Total of 5 of us in a 3 bedrooms house

1 couples + 1 student +  2 of us

Lucky thing is, there is NON-SMOKER in that house.

BTW, our titles finally approved!

and we should be able to start building our house soon...

Escaping from.....

I'm off duty again! 

  

As I told you, I''m doing the cooking now... We had tuna cabonara for the past two-days.

Today, I'm going to have curry chicken,stir fried vegetables and tortilla wrap for dinner.

;)

Working! Working! Working!

I'm in the office right now starting 6.15-2.15pm..
Today seem to be a bit quiet on the phone
That's the reason why I'm blogging now!


Michael and family finally moved to their new premises today...
My hubby will be busy helping them.
Me?? Luckily, I'm working! >.<


Once I get back, the house should be emptied!

Haizzzzzzzz....

Today only I found out that there were someone who smoke in the house..

(the house/room that I'm going to move)

[No offense to those who smokes]

I'm just sensitive/allergic to that.

How am I going to stand for 6-8months?

I can't even stand for a day, man!

I contacted the owner about the it

And the owner told me that they are not supposed to smoke in the house.

Frankly speaking, I wish to stay there as there is no string attached (no contract) and it's really convenience for me to work in city too.

Oh GOD, What should I do?

I might be looking for a new place....

Busy Week

This week I'm gonna busy like HELL...

- Working on this coming Sat and Sun

- Working late morning next week

- Moving to a new place soon

- Have to wash our own cloth without the washing machine for a week!

- Doing the cooking job!

- No Internet connection for a month! (I bet so!)

- Titles? (Patiently waiting. Still haven't heard any news yet!)
- Watching Grey's Anatonmy S3/S4
- Downloading Crime Minds S1 and S2

That's how my life goes...

Changes: P2

At last, we found our new "nest" !

We'll be moving to Thornlie - another suburb in Perth. It's about 5mins walk to the train station and 5mins drive to IGA Supermarket. Since I'm not working today, I decided to just check out the places with my husband and will be meeting the landlord this coming Sunday!  Frankly speaking, we can't complaint much about it anymore since we're just renting a room....Besides, that's just a temporary "nest" to us while awaiting the new house to be built. Furthermore, we're paying 150/week including water and electricity.

FYI, there are total of 5 rooms and 3 had been occupied by the landlord themselves and 2 will be leased... Husband and I will be taking one of the rooms while the other room will be taken by hubby's colleague (cum friend from Malaysia) but he has not decide yet!

Anyway, we'll be moving to the new place on the 22nd Oct 2010...

Changes

OMG!

Michael and family are soon moving to their new premises and supposedly there will be another guy from Malaysia is taking over this house and we thought that we're going to continue to have the same room until my new house is ready.

Now, the guy is not coming to Perth at this moment due to unpredictable circumstances. Therefore, we have to move out from this rented house. In 3 weeks time, we have to look for a new place. :( We decided to rent a room instead of a house! That's what we're looking for at the moment, somewhere near to train station or bus station.....(because of me again!)

Sometimes, things do change! It happened  and we can't say much about it......

Free:P2

Yesterday, I managed to finish Grey's Anatomy S1 (It's more likely about life of the intern in hospital)

Now, I'm moving on to S2 (27 episodes)

At this stage, there are total of 7 seasons

More to go...

Tomorrow, I'm going back to work as usual.

Haha, Guess what? 

I'm starting at 10.15am >.<

Free:P1

Finally, I'm free from the headset for 2-days! :)

Any plans? Nahh...

Most probably will be staying at home-watching TVB series

Anyway, I just finished watching Supernatural S5

Which series I should go for? Greys' Anatomy?

Perhaps so- I'll have to start from S1(9 episodes in S1)

Cool...

All shop are closed due to Queen's Birthday

Can't do my shopping today- I need to grab some biscuits!

Plan to visit Booragoon Shopping Center tomorrow.

YH: Do you like the Coles Pure Butter Shortbread?

Guys, happy working,ok!

While I'm going to enjoy my weekend to the fullest! >.<

Something to share

Recently, I put an order for 2 wallets through Braun Buffel online store.  FYI, this was my first time getting such an expensive wallet for my husband and myself. :) 

That's all for today. Have a pleasant weekend.....[Unfortunately, I'm working on weekend! :( ]

My working life!

I'm no longer in Double Dragon. (* Reshuffle of all the teams under Mr.Liam South-the Centre Manager)

Now, I'm in a new team known as Metal Gear and my superior is an Aussie lady named Dionne. She is absolutely a superb superior ~ patiently guiding me all the time! :) Thank you very much for your patience. I really appreciate that!

Frankly speaking, I have no drama helping the customers performing any troubleshooting. However, I do have an issue if customer kept asking WHY? WHY? WHY?, started raising their voice and yelled on the phone, I'm panic and really have no idea what to do next! Sometimes, I felt like I'm not  competence  enough to handle those difficult customers. Of course, I knew that PRACTICE MAKE PERFECT. I never gave up~ attempting my utmost effort to fix this up. [I understood their frustration, they paid for the service ~ definitely, they want the service to be working.]

 

Though I'm not a good speaker/communicator, I'm kinda satisfy with myself! :) 

Thumb up to See Ming
A BIG applause to See Ming
Wakaka


Note: Monday is a Public Holiday in WA (It's Queen's Birthday)
Most of the ppl in WA will have 3 days off but I'm working on Sat and Sun (off on Mon n Tue)

我"变"了!

是好,是坏.

我真的不知道

有谁知?

这两晚, 我竟然睡不着...

(平时的我一躺在床上,就很快的可以入眠)

让我想起有些事情一定解决

老实说,我好担心!

内心里真不好受

不知该如嗯...

:(

以前有它的陪伴,让我可以重建阳光

让我自信满满; 笑之内心, 面对所有重重困难!

即使有什么不开心,只要向着它

什么都变得好了

现在的我变得好懦弱,想把自己藏起来...

让我想要从回"只有属于我的世界"

是我妈,我妹的 "自闭子"

其他所谓的freak-ass

我知不是每人都可感受到

只要是那些认识它的话,

就会明白.

不管结局如何, 希望我可以作出一个明确的决定!

重新(心)站起来.

A sumptuous dinner

I have been wanting to visit this restaurant ever since YH's BIL mentioned that to me....

Finally, I had this dinner on 18 Sept 2010. Supposedly, my husband had promised to bring me to the restaurant two weeks ago but due to unpredictable circumstances, we didn't make it. Anyhow, I made it at last. :)

As I'm working today, so we reached there about 5.45pm. Guess what? You can't imagine that, lots of people has been queuing outside for their turn. Luck is on my side, we just waited for about 10-15 minutes only.   Anyway, we just ordered two dishes - Fettuccine and Grilled chicken with salads. 

I have no complaint about the food. Besides, this was my first visit to Italian restaurant in Perth.

Before leaving, I ordered a tiramisu for takeaway.

Hehee..

My piece of land...
