A day in the life of a trainee banker

Been pretty caught up with work of late so I've been finding it difficult to post any new stuff. I actually took these pictures some time ago but never got around to putting it up due to time constraints (assignments and tests grr). But since this is my first commitment-free Sunday in a long long time, I figured I'd at least put this set up.

The shots to come is a summary of a typical day at work. They were all taken with my phone's camera so the quality is abysmally terrible, but do bear with me (sidenote: taking donations for a new sony camera phone).

The day starts at 6:30am (even earlier now that I've been rotated to Research)

After showering and breakfasting, it's off I go. Smart tunnel for Smart people.

One of the better views on the way to work. I do not normally drive this dangerously btw :P

Inside the horribly bumpy Smart tunnel.

Out of the tunnel, into the jam along one end of Jalan Sultan Ismail. Fortunately the wait is only 5 minutes tops

Daylight robbery QQ (it's RM9 btw)

On the lift in Wisma Genting. Level 3 is where I hop off (Level 2 starting Monday!)

Morning meetings at 8. Yours truly will be having a hand at preparing the stuff to be said at such meetings

That's my desk at L3. It's not even 8:30am so I am still entitled to surf unrelated sites I believe :P

That's what a typical classroom session looks like. Classes ended last Friday

Zipping forward in time (and cutting out all the boring regulatory talk), it's 5:30pm. Punctuality at its finest, and it's off I go

Smart-ing home again

@*&*$!@()*)(%*(^&*@&(!*&

Post-dinner, shower and checking mails/replying messages, 10:30pm means it's time to go to bed. Sleep, wake up the next day, and the grind repeats itself

So that's how a typical day goes. Some of these will probably change as I rotate across different departments but I suppose it'll still be as grindful as ever.

The Montreux shots.. next week maybe? :P

Port Dickson Christmas '07 Part 4/4 - Sea Shots

That's the sitting area where I spent many-an-hour pondering about the possibilities and whatnot while listening to the soothing sea soundtrack and enjoying the cool breeze. Ahh...

Calm and relaxing Wednesday morning

I was very disappointed at how I couldn't get any good sunrise/sunset pictures though. I thought that since there was a nice area overlooking the open sea, I would be able to at least get one nice sunset picture. How wrong was I. 2 evenings, and 2 very boring 7pm skies.

That concludes this set then. This would probably be the last update for the year and so I wish all of you a Happy New Year!

Port Dickson Christmas '07 Part 3/4 - Nature Shots

I lurveee this shot. Took me ages to get the camera to focus on the flower. No idea why it kept insisting on focusing on the tree behind it instead of the flower.

Port Dickson Christmas '07 Part 2/4 - Petting Zoo

There was a mini petting zoo inside the hotel and I managed to take a few pictures of some really cute furries.

Bunniiieeeeeessssssssss. This one was the cutest one.

"Whatchu looking at?"

Apparently, this peacock was stuck at full open position for quite a few hours according to my brother. Something about a jammed mechanism.

Port Dickson Christmas '07 Part 1/4 - Our Room

I took a trip down to Port Dickson with my family for the Christmas holidays and stayed at this place called Avillion (really nice place btw). Here are the shots!

These are the in-room pictures.

The outdoor shower. It's a really nice idea but showering with the sea breeze blowing at you is not exactly fun

Eye on Malaysia

For the uninitiated, the Eye on Malaysia is a 1 year only ferris wheel ride located in the Titiwangsa Lake Gardens built in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007. It'll only be here this year so if you have yet to go on it, you better do so soon!

I was there for a Toyota event but sadly, there weren't alot of pictures to be taken. There was a fireworks performance at the end but my pictures were terribly awful so I won't be putting them up.

Don't eat then where got energy to take pictures?

Genting at Sunrise - Part 3/3

These shots were taken by Jason with another camera. He stayed up on the hill to take sunrise pictures with his car while I went on down to get some mountainy pictures.

That's me!

I like the car's stance in this picture. Looks like a cute little dog waiting for his master hehe.

And that concludes this set of pictures. Next up will be some pictures I took in Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. Hope to get them up soon.

Genting at Sunrise - Part 2/3

Continuing from where we left off...

The red H...don't mess around with it
