Maidless !!!

After a long one month leave, finally my maid said SHE'S NOT COMING BACK. OMG !!! I juz burnt my 8 days current leave last year juz to take care of d kids while my maid enjoy her balik kampung trip. Althou I've a strong feeling she's not coming back, I try to be positive she's not like other maids in my neighbourhood who did not turn up after their balik kampung. Ermmm.. seems, all Indons are the same.

Life is a bit haywire right now.. with me working & managing the house. Of course dear darling do lend his hands to do some house chores, but still not enuf. Romeo is taking charge of laundry of the day, supervising his brothers in between their KAFA & secondary school. Baby continues at nursery after her kindy session. Baby has changed a lot recently, she refuse to go to school in the morning.. She will cry and cry, saying she didnt like to stay at the nursery. Lucky, one of my neighbour agreed to look after her starting this Feb.

Thou it really hectic, M glad I got my house back.. my kitchen, my kids.. M still sourcing how to simplify doing house chores, so that I could have more time to spent with dear darling & the kids and my hobbies.

M Penalized !!!

By who..??? Who else...??? By 'beloved' boss laa..

Last year end and this early year, wuz among d saddest moment to me in my employment history. My bonus was slashed for 0.75 months from what I usually get yearly. Come to 2008 increment, I got 3.6% increment compared to the average in my dept - 4.7%

So sad.. and the more I want to move out !!

Why They Didn't Consider My Applications

Urgghhhhhhhhhhh... it's been months when I aggressively submiting my resume to many companies. Out of 179 applications I submitted, I've attended 6 interviews and DID NOT received any offer yet. Why.. why.. why..????

I tried to analyze back my resume & application letters, is there something wrong some where. Izzit my grammar, izzit my qualifications not strong enuf.. izzit my expected salary too high..?? A friend commented that my photo in the resume, looks very relax - not professional enuf. Doesn't reflect a pro Exec Secretary. Ermm.. probably !

After my recent interview, I think I know one of the reason why I did not get any offer yet. M lack of experience ! No doubt I been in this secretarial line for almost 16 years, but I have only 11 years experience reporting to HOD, not a top management. Other than that, the salary that I requested is quite high (izzit it..???). To me it's fair.. I juz ask for an additional rm200 from my existing salary. At one thought, it may not worth. For the additional rm200, I may get more tasks given on top of my head compared from what M doing right now.

But.. I need to make a move... YESS, I need to get a fresh air to breathe.... HELPPP !!!!!
