What A Week!

Last week was busy, busy, busy week for me. I was managing the final production of our publication before we hit to the printer. All was completed on time, ahead of schedule, but alas! we have not award the printer yet. We have not finalise an external agreement yet. Wow, talk about moving at 90% speed and suddenly you have to slow down to 10% speed blantly. Well, now is waiting for management and marketing decision.

Last week I attended an interview at one of the hotels in KL. Luckily, I managed to reached there on time because there was a thunder storm while I was on my way. It was a simple chit chating interview by the CEO of the potential company. After about an hour of discussing my working style, personality and attitude, I was hired! We even finalised my salary package on the spot. Strangely, I saw my colleague waiting there since I arrived and about to leave the place. I approached her and she mentioned she was waiting for someone. It turned out that she was called for an interview too. What a small world. She resign because she doesn't want to be transfer to my department but in the end, she still has to report to me in the new company. Too bad...

Last weekend I went to my hometown in Labuan. Well, I have more than 1 hometown since my relatives and families are scattered around. It was a short weekend trip and I was accompany my sister. It much more fun going with my sis than alone. We walk around the small town looking for great bargain. We bought few liquors and chocolates there are super cheap. Why not because it's a duty free island. Altough I have to say most things are not duty free. It's only worth to buy cars, liquors, cholocate and some of the electronics but most of it are old models.

This week started of with a bang too. I was rushing to get my medical check up done because my new offer only valid if I passed my check up. That was done in my half day MC. Then, is filling up the forms and sign the offer letter followed by emailing back to my new boss. Last night my new boss called to check if I'm ok with one of my colleague joining the team. I've no problem. Not sure about her though.

Tomorrow is off to Singapore to visit my new boss and parent company. At the same time, to discuss about the model and goal of the business in KL. Hmm..my flight is 8am and only takes an hours. After that, it's whole day meeting before I return home in the evening flight. Not bad for the celebration of our 51st year Merdeka yeah...
