Cindy Last Day in HP

Today is Cindy last day in HP, quite 不舍得 to let her go after we have been working for 3 months where we eat together, OC together and play together. I like her as even she is so called "lazy" but she is smart and effective. Moreover, she is friendly and open-minded. This little girl will have her bright future as she is not the ordinary person as she possessed the greeatest mind. It is great by having a smart friend like her who do not mind to share everything she knew with you.

I think I will feel bored without her accompany during my breakfast, my 吃蛇 time. Wishing our friendship will never end even after she left HP. Maybe someday we can meet again coincidence in somewhere like tuition center or in a new environment. Last but not least, wish you all the best Cindy. Do miss 38 gals and msn, sms, email us frequently. Do not overwork till forget us. Remember the do and don't la. Miss you~

Knowledge sharing: Difference between Charge Card and Credit Card

Hello, previous day I learned something from friends and internet where the areas I got confused for a long time. That is :

1) Charge card (AMEX) will have unlimited credit so you have to ensure the ability to repay at the end of the day. However, credit card has certain limit for their customers therefore it will limit your debt threshold.

2) Charge card has to repay the amount in full and there is no room for you to make installment repayment. As for credit card, you can slowly pay off your debt by installment but subject to the interest imposed on the amount you incurred.

Therefore, think properly before you use any card.

Nightmare Started

Few days I have not written my blog, I am quite emotional lately. The nightmare will be started soon as my pen recon not tie again for this month. I have no idea to resolve this time. Crying, worrying, heart shaking , nobody can help. Even myself, tried my best also can't guarantee the outcome. Really challenging task and got me headache. Why this not tie and why that not tie.

Listening to "The Climb" , hopefully I have the strength like Miley~

I wanna kill you - PEN RECON! You got me crazy!!

My Dog

My silly dog looked straight at me as she is starving for food. Her round eyes never blink once when she staring at me.

I seldom play with her as I am allergic to dog fur, but she is so cute. She just passed her 3 years old birthday. Suddenly, I only realised that she stay with us for 3 years. Haha. . . Growing fatter and fatter. . . And eat more and more. . . Wowowo. . . Can't imagine one day home without her as she is so noisy and lovely! Dog Dog love you oh~~

Goals For Tommorrow

I have set a very tiny goal for myself is to understand the rollup for WWIF PPV (business term, so no need to bother) and scrutinise the email to decide when to send out reminder for pen recon. Moreover, catchup some APC task. Then go back earlier from office. Yes ! Hopefully can finish all that by tomorrow! Gambatte!

Today must have a good sleep as I do not know why I feel tired easily. After reading the below news, I am wondering why we don't go for the part time domestic maid instead of the foreign full maids. Moreover, the more foreign maid we hire, the weaker our currency as more Ringgit flow out to Malaysia. For me, I rather pay a RM 800 to a domestic part time maid than a foreign maid. On top of that, the more foreign workers come in, the higher the crime rate in Malaysia(Maybe I just too Bias over foreign workers)

Demand for RM800 maid salary not feasible, say groups

PETALING JAYA: Indonesia’s demand that its maids be paid a minimum RM800 monthly salary has hit a raw nerve among Malaysians.

“Not all of us are getting a four-figure pay packet . Wait for us to progress, then such a request can be deemed feasible,’’ Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) Kedah chapter chairman Pishol Ishak said.

He said many Matta members could not afford to pay RM800 monthly to their general workers, what more a similar sum for foreign maids.

Calling for rationality, he said: “As much as we value the role played by maids, particularly from Indonesia, the salary expectation must be in tandem with the earning power of Malaysians too.”
Indonesian ambassador to Malaysia Da’i Bachtiar has been quoted in press reports as saying that the republic is pressing for the minimum wage following cases of maid abuse by Malaysian employers.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr. S. Subramaniam is expected to comment on the issue today.

It is estimated that 294,115 Indonesian maids are working throughout the country currently.
The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers northern region chairman, Datuk O.K. Lee, said manufacturers would be worried if the Government agreed to such a minimum wage as some local workers earned less than that.

‘‘It would cause anger among the workers. We have to find a balance. Such a move is not advisable at this juncture due to the (global economic slump),’’ Lee said.

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun asked whether employers could still afford to hire Indonesian maids if they had to pay that sum.
“Also, will the increase in pay lead to better service from the maids?”

Chew suggested that households opt for other alternatives like engaging local or part-time maids to only work on certain days.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said there should not be a dependency on foreign labour, including that of maids.In a press statement, she suggested that the private sector, NGOs and individuals provide assistance in building more childcare and daycare centres to help families care for their children.

Insurance planning manager Looi Kok Cheong, who has had a maid for 15 years, said:
“It (RM800) will be a big jump from what we are paying now. It will be better if this increase is done gradually and not in one go.”

Nice Chatting

Everytime I would feel better after having a conversation with my boyfriend. As he is my best listener, and whenever I need some advice, he would provide in an "ad hoc" basis. Ya, I really felt better even I just experienced a very "down" mood recently.

About education, I will like to work it out. For rental, just borrowed and settle later. As for working, still figuring out a new plan as this is quite unexpected and new for me. It is true that I able to walk out from sadness eventually.

Having the best listener is the best medicine for curing my mood. Hehe... At least I have my greatest boy friend. Thanks. . .

Appreciate each day you have after reading the below news:

5 dead, 900 people rescued from Philippine ferry - Adapted from The Star

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - At least five people drowned and 900 terrified passengers, many roused from their sleep, were rescued early Sunday from a ferry that listed then sank in the southern Philippines, officials said. More than 60 people were missing.

Coast guard chief Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo said 900 of 968 passengers and crewmen on board the Superferry 9 were transferred to two nearby commercial ships, a navy gunboat and a fishing boat hours after the ferry began to list off Zamboanga del Norte province before dawn.

A search was under way for more than 60 people who remained missing, Tamayo said, adding that they may have drifted with their life jackets or have been rescued but were not yet listed as survivors.

"We really hope they're just unaccounted for due to the confusion," Tamayo told The Associated Press.

Navy ships were deployed and three military aircraft scoured the seas, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said. American troops providing counterterrorism training to Philippine soldiers in the region deployed a civilian helicopter and five boats, some carrying paramedics, to help, U.S. Col. William Coultrup said.

Teodoro said two men and a child drowned during the scramble to escape the ship. The bodies of two other passengers were later plucked from the sea by fishermen, the coast guard said, adding that three passengers were injured.

The cause of the listing was not clear. The ferry skipper initially ordered everyone on board to abandon the ship as a precautionary step, said Jess Supan, vice president of Aboitiz Transport System, which owns the steel-hulled ferry.

There were reports that the ferry listed to the right due to a hole in the hull, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said. As the 7,268-ton ferry tilted, some passengers may have panicked and jumped into the water, the coast guard said.

Passenger Roger Cinciron told DZMM radio by cell phone that he felt the ferry was tilting around midnight but he was assured by a crewman that everything was well. About two hours later, he was roused from sleep by the sound of crashing cargo below his cabin, he said.

"People began to panic because the ship was really tilting," he said as he waited for rescuers to save him and a group of more than 20 other passengers.

The ferry left the southern port city of General Santos on Saturday and was scheduled to arrive in Iloilo city in the central Philippines later Sunday but ran into problems midway and began to list about nine miles (15 kilometers) from the nearest shore, Tamayo said.
There were no signs of possible terrorism, Tamayo said.

Al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf militants bombed another Superferry in Manila Bay in 2004, setting off an inferno that killed 116 people in Southeast Asia's second-worst terrorist attack.
The weather was generally fair in the Zamboanga peninsula region, about 530 miles (860 kilometers) south of Manila, although a tropical storm was battering the country's mountainous north, the coast guard said.

Sea accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago because of tropical storms, badly maintained boats and weak enforcement of safety regulations.

Last year, a ferry overturned after sailing toward a powerful typhoon in the central Philippines, killing more than 800 people on board.

In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker in the Philippines, killing more than 4,341 people in the world's worst peacetime maritime disaster.
