New Chapter Begins

Hi peeps...

it's been long since my last update 2 weeks ago. well i was pretty busy last week because i had to do a lot of packing. Last Friday 30th May marks my last day in Dell and yes currently i'm blogging from KL. At my desk in Mid Valley.

Basically i drove myself down to KL on Saturday afternoon and it took me 5 hours to reach Taman Desa. It would be earlier if the weather allowed me too. It was raining cats and dogs to the extent where i had to switch on the hazard lights on the highway. On the highway it is. Practically I dont see anything on the road and it was dark. *puzzled*

last weekend was solely devoted to room searching...

I went to look for apartments around Tmn Desa, Kuchai Lama and Jalan Jati off Old Klang road heading to Puchong where an ex-collegue stays. It was on Monday night when i went to look for a unit in Danau Impian which is located on the 1st floor of Block 17. unfortunately it is only available in July.I did not decide on anything and wanted to venture out for more rooms. However, to no avail the search continued for 3 days. It took 2 days for me to decide and i called the lady of Block 17 and told her that i'm interested to rent the room. Apparently she did an appointment with another person and she will only decide after the meeting. On the next day she called and she asked me if im still interested. And so; on Wednesday i went to her unit and we had some discussions over the rental and utility and etc.

So i finally found a room to move into BUT it will only take effect on the 5th of July.

I was quite worried on the first day i joined the company over lodging and car park.

Lodging issues had been settled and left with car park issues here in MidValley. I'm not worried about the traffic because i stay very near and it only take 5 km to reach in 15mins time. Petrol is minimal but bear in mind the price per litre has gone up by more than 40%. Full tank for SLK* pays MYR108!! oh goshh imagine if you drive a BMW or Mercedes Benz.

*small little kelisa* a term i picked up from my colleagues here. hee hee

Parking is what i have been worried for the past 4 days. Actually im still worried now because i parked my car on the roadside. :. I would describe my mood which has been in a non stabilise state. On Monday i got freaked out because i have to pay MYR7 per day for car park. That amounts to MYR140 per month. which i can use up the funds to pay my insurance coverage by adding an additional MYR10.

Then i was told that i can apply for season parking which i was very happy on Tuesday. Unfortunately i got turned down by the staff here that there are limited passes available and it's only available when my turn comes. I will be put under the waiting list and its LONG. Then HR told me that if im not entitled to a season pass i get to apply for car park subsidy for MYR60 per month.i was relieved by just a bit. net net i still need to fork out additional MYR80 for car park anyway.

and the good news is here during lunch.
i was feeling so much relieved just now when one of my collegue told me i can actually take a bus from Taman Desa to Midvalley...Tht's GREAT news. 15mins to reach. Tht's exactly the time i took to reach if i drive. next monday im gonna catch the bus to work and it's MYR2 per day unlimited rides on all U buses. yay!!! a big thanks to Elaine :D

that will be my update from KL so far. I apologise because no food blogs coming in the next couple of weeks until i move into my newroom and get the internet connection live. Well i'll try if i can blog over here at my office desk if i'm free. The freedom wont last for long....

i'm owing myself a post of my Birthday Celebration and Farewell Lunch @ Ms Saigon E-Gate. stay tuned :D

Kungfu Panda has finally rock the screens...i've been waiting for this show to come live and there it is. I'm going to watch it real soon. Not forgetting GSC is giving away free movie tickets as a birthday treat and i think i'm going to watch the Indiana Jones next week. a fine print - tickets are for movies marked with asterisk* only.

currently i'm getting excited over the KL-Malacca Fun Hunt organise by Synovate. Its going to be Flagged Off on the 20th June. Can't wait!!
