Just started my new job for one week and last week we were in induction. My work hours now are 10am-7 pm but in the future I may have to work shifts. Actually, I WILL have to work shifts and they are following the UK hours and those are usually 3pm-12 mindnight or 4-1am or 5-2am.

No overtime.

I will be travelling to Bangalore, South India sometime early March/late March or early April.....
But they say Bangalore is nice cos garden city of India, pub city of India.....Anyways, I will communicate through this email/errolyn.com cos I can't write at work and got no external email there. Can call me still in my handphone except when I go travelling. Then I will give you my temp number but I don't think you guys will wanna call melah....hehhehehee....Anyway, thats all for now....

I am an AM in Training. Anyhoo, take care over there in EDS or wherever you are. And write to me either here or errolyn.com ya!

Well, today's Valentine's Day!!!! Happy Valentine's Day to all who read this. I didn't get any flowers today but am trying to console myself that flowers are ridiculously, appallingly, horrendously, astronomically, unnecessarily expensive this day of the year.......but then which girl doesn't like to receive them eh?

Congratulations to Elene who received not one but TWO bouquets! Good going girl, gotta take lessons from you!

Ok, today's not only Valentine's Day. I have been busily packing up my cubicle stuff since the beginning of the week cos today's my last day at EDS. Yes, hard to believe two years have flown by just like that....in the blink of an eye....and especially now when I am enjoying my job so much, I wonder if anybody really understands how sad it is to leave.

I tell myself that yes, we will keep in touch, but how many people actually do that? We all have the best intentions at the beginning but as time passes, people forget, get caught up in their own lives; get too busy sending girls bouquets of flowers! Hahhahahaaa....

But then, life goes on. Tomorrow will be another day. I will go home tonight, cuddle in the bosom of my family and get energised to face the NEW CAREER on Monday! It's an exciting job, no doubt about it, it's just that right at this moment, it's kinda hard to feel sad and excited at the same time. Me, the jetsetter. I shall look forward to writing about my adventures and exploits.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends, old and new. I shall miss the EDS family but I look forward to being accepted into the HSBC one soon......

Ok. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR everyone!!!
It's that time of the year again....albeit yes I am writing on the Third Day of CNY. Although I must say I have only been spending time with my family lately. So no gambling, no clubbing, no hanging out with friends yet.

Why you ask? Cos my sister and mum are travelling to Shanghai, China for 2 weeks and it is only natural that I want to spend time with my whole family as much as possible. Since my sister will be going to work in :(Singapore:( already and ESPECIALLY since I will be moving (up, hopefully) to a job that will require me to travel! To such far-off places as Bangalore, UK, Hong Kong, US and others. Though I really don't wanna be anywhere but home should the Third World War start! .....With somebody like W. Bush at the helm of a country declaring war on another.....with missiles no less.....it's just too scarily comedic or comedically scary....take your pick.

But then, on to more happy matters. Yes changing jobs....after two years at EDS....it's time to move on I guess and I will be writing (frequently I hope) to give you more updates on my new horizons. Especially those friends of mine who are far far away in locale but close in my heart!.

Salut! and Happy Chinese New Year.....Still receiving ang pows this year....no change......

Write me if you want: errolyn@errolyn.com (though I may not always have access to this account at work....you know....firewall and all that jazz!)

Hi! It's been so long hasn't it! Well, I guess I can just blame it on work that has been basically non-stop since I last wrote in December. It's interesting how time flies.....

My manager went on Christmas holiday back home in Scotland and left the two remaining team members on duty....I have had to field calls from the customer while handling requests from our internal company staff as well as churn out proposals that never seem to stop coming!

Anyways, I went home for a while for the New Year and am now just looking forward to Chinese New Year where I will be able to 'rest' for 10 days! As well as collect ang pows! As is the tradition of the unmarried Chinese girls......

However, will there be a change of job or position for me in the future. 'Predictions' for the Dragon in the Year of the Goat 2003 is that there will be plenty of career opportunities available for the discerning Dragon should he wish to change careers or even just companies......I wonder....will I be traversing the oceans soon? Will I be conquering the skies? Who knows....

Mid this year, this Errolyn will be venturing to New York, Boston, London and Oxford for the first time ever.....Stay tuned for more exciting peeks into the life of Errolyn......HAHHAHAHAHAAAAA.....

Desperately Seeking Readers!

I was so fascinated by it that I just had to share it with you before lunch. I wanted to put in a winky smiley here but it seems to interfere with the templates.....or something so no winky smiley, sorry.

Stanford University announces plans to clone human embryos

WOW! I don't know if this is entirely advisable.....I can just see the headlines screaming anto-cloning news....Although it is for a good cause because alot of times, stem cell treatment is the most effective way to grow new 'weapons' to fight the disease. However, this issue leads almost seamlessly into another controversial matter with regards to the procreation of human embryos (brothers or sisters to be less impersonal) specifically to be generators of stem cells to be harvested. We'll see what happens.

Christmas is coming and New Year's is coming. After that there will be one month of solid work (yes, no public holidays in January!) followed by CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Raya has come and almost gone....though looking around the office and even some roads around KL, you'll think it was still here.....There's hardly anybody around.

I was involved in an accident just before Hari Raya. Clumsy old me accelerated into the back of a Kembara at a roundabout. It was a case of bad driving for me because I stepped on the pedal without confirming that the woman drive in front of me, although having pushed the nose of her Kembara so far out into the traffic, still hadn't moved....Well, it was an expensive lesson. Cost me RM700 to replace my bonnet, grill, have some knocking done to realign crooked bits of metal....

C'est la vie!

Yahoo! News - Bad Sex Prize Up for Grabs

So, have you guys heard of the above before? I was just talking about this with a friend earlier in the week and here we have the most recent winners!

Well, it's that time of the year again! December.....when Hari Raya is going to be celebrated as well as Christmas and people rush to get home to be with loved ones and families....There is no other time in the year that inspires people (or the other extreme!) like this time of the year.

Each year, December never fails to put people in the mood for good spirits, love, reflection and a lightness of heart. Even when you encounter a bad driver on the road, he's liable to get away with it because you're too busy thinking about tonight's dinner with your family.

KL's going to be empty since it's the Immigration State of Malaysia. I will be going home too but can't afford to go home too many times....only at the end of the year in order to celebrate the birthing of 2003 with my family and friends.

Selamat Hari Raya and Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year!!!! to friends and acquantainces and everyone out there who is celebrating .....or not.

TO my mum, dad, sister: Janice, friends: Lisa and hubby Ban Hu, Melinda, Szu Ping, Thing May, Kong Wai, Nigel, Elene, Tubbydolphin, Adam, Michael, Danny......Happy Holidays and Happy Chinese New Year!

(I know getting ahead of myself)

Hi there! Time's running out on my one-month assignment here at my new project. I have learned lots and had fun doing it. Just have to wait and see if they extend my posting.

This coming Sunday is the KL Duck Race! We have a duck just waiting to win. His name is ED and whoever doesn't have a duck but is interested in supporting one, Ed's your man!

Gosh, so much has been happening lately that it is kind of difficult to keep up and report about it....but suffice to say I've been running around and travelling alot especially since my sister is back from the States.

We just came back from Haadyai so we bought a lot of new stuff at unbelieveably affordable prices. Had my favourite massage as well.

Just reread Ender's Game and is a little bit into Speaker for the Dead....you guys who haven't taken me up on my invitation to read the trilogy should be punished!

Anyway, my parting words for this session are: Enjoy Life....Take Care...Love Somebody

So what on earth has been happening with Blogger? I just read some of my past blogs and thought, damn, I have learned so much in the past year. Of course some of the things that I have learned but not been able to put up due to some Blogger mishaps. Wonder if they've remedied it. I would love to keep writing so friends and family can see what's been going on with me!

Let's see if this goes through....
