Haha ... the first thing that cross my mind after my sister's bf called me last night is - the medium bedroom currently I am staying is 'haunted' in the sense that every owner will move out. It welcomes 5 owners in this year, and I will be the last one in here. After that, I won't care about who will be the next 'victim' as I am free now.
Despite the pressure at work currently, I need to spend time haunting for new housemate, but I got no success in return for this. There was a girl, who called me up to make an appointment with me last week, and I turned her down in the very last minute after I got to know that she is actually Malays. Well you can call me racist or spit on me, but I rather let the room empty for a month than finding A Malays as my new housemates, and moreover she is planning to rent the room with her bf. Turning her down, and not getting new phone calls asking about the room availability definitely making me frustrated.
But, thanks to my sister's bf in here. Last night, he called me up and telling me that his housemate is going to move out, and I straight away say Yes, booking the room first ... So starting from next month, I will be moving out from this house, and move to Taman Pekaka.
So, to those who left things with me, such as Froggie, and to those who wanted to copy series from me, don't knock on the wrong person ... lolz ...
Finally, I can have a sigh of relieve, but I still need to deal with the current landlord on this, and hope that he let me to tender the house to him by end of this month, saving me the $$ ..
This is a good news to me, cuz there will be internet access and also washing machine waiting for me there, and finally i don't have to wash clothes with my hands anymore and I don't have to borrow other wireless access.
But I really like this house, with the environment, with the public transport and with the Super Tanker in front of my block, and if not becuz of the ppl keep coming and going, I won't be moving. Blame it on those who can't stay long.

Working ....
Today is oct 16th, and I am still in the office, replying emails and keep on sighing as it is already 3 hours after my working hours, yet I am still working. All of this is due to the expedite orders from my customer. Imagine, they are pulling in 490units of orders from Dec to end of Oct/beginning of Nov. Besides the huge orders, there are a lots of smal orders keep coming in, and pulling in to earlier dates. This result with material shortages. There is one material which needs about 3700pcs, and I need to pull in the material to dock asap.
Why am I still here in this hour? Shouldn't I suppose to back in my house, eating dinner while watching movie? It is cuz of this material. We have done everything we can to expedite this. From Shanghai to Penang, the best ETA committed by forwarder is tomorrow before 2pm, but we can't accept it, and we have forwarder to terminate the flight service in KL, and change to truck mode, and the truck scheduled to dock at 7pm, but it hasn't reached yet, and I am chasing for this. Sigh ... This is the normal buyer job and responsibilities, I know about this, but this is tiring with all the parties focusing on you and your shipments. Come on ... I am sick of this.
After this shipment docks tonight, I still have other shipments to chase for. And I know that, starting from next week, pricing will my another big issue.
I didn't went to work on Tue, due to period pain and headache, but I took emergency leave instead. Reason being I have about 5days leaves which is going to due soon, and lazy to go to see doc. But, I can't just lying on the bed whole days, so I went to cyber cafe to online, and I see more and more issues. Coming back to work on Wed, I got many bombs regarding the delaying in my shipment, and now it is 7.51pm, got updated status that the truck which carrying my shipment, already at front gate ...FINALLY !!
Hope everything will go smoothly after this, and everything, including my other shipments, hope that I am able to pulling in all the materisl. hope there wil be no more shortages, hope I can go back at 4.30 everyday... lol ... many will think that this wish is funny, but if you are a buyer in this company, you will know that this is not a wish which is can be granted easily ... haha ..
I haven't go back at 4.30pm sharp for a long long time.
Enough about work, when I'm back from SG, I thought that the next blog from me will be about my trip to SG, but it turns out to be something else .. cuz I don't have the time to scan through all the pictures taken during the SG trip, and most importantly that I do not have the mood to write about the trip, I don't want the trip to sound bad.

Am I a cow? or a horse? I don't feel like I am a human after all
Die die die ... this week is really driving me crazy, from lack of sleep to pressure from work .. it almost took my breath away.
Yeah, no doubt that I had 6days of holidays last week and enjoyed myself , but it is funny when I have the thought that I 'traded' the 4days trip to Singapore with this hell week. When I back to work on Monday, I got about 250++ emails, and I thought not bad cuz 250 ++ is small case. But as when I read through the emails, I see issues, issues and more issues. *Faint*
This job is killing me, with Customer as the priority, and we have to make the impossible becomes possible. Mission impossible is always hard to achieve, and we still have to try 100%, pushing this pushing that, trying this trying that, and it is really tiring.
Another 5 months to go, it is 7months to go actually. Clock is ticking, but I feel that it is ticking slower than before. Wish all my issues can be settled by next week.
This job is no fun, where it gives me pressure and tension, but one thing I like about this jobs is... I get to know more ppl from around the world, and make friends with them. Although it is not advisable by my leader to become close to them as in her opinion, it will become harder when I want to pull in shipment or escalating them, but in my opinion, it is ok as long as we know the border between work and friendship.
Another big bomb which added to my problem is ... I need to find housemate again... Really WTF... She only been staying here for 4days when she told me that she can't suit to the room, cuz of the noise in the morning. Stupid shit ... I really give up in finding housemate now. I don't have the time and money to keep changing housemates again and again. It is really wasting time and effort. Although I really don't want to move out from my house, but IF I can find myself a new room, I will move. Or the landlord wants to increase the rental (my house contract end this month), I will move out. That's it. I've made up my mind.
Just wish everything will become ok.
