While i was busy doing my report.. at d same time watching "Friends" on d tv.. All d sudden teringat the time wen i work d Standard Chartered.. I was working under sales @ jual kredit card.. wat we do basicli is cari as much "elligible" customers possible and sell.. our salary based on d commision so yea.. we do dis by telepon, n mostli thru roadshows.. so awulah kadang2 kraja till malam mun roadshow but dat ws a fun experience so aint complaining..
nways.. each of us ada our own cubicle wid telepon, kalau telepon bunyi we have 2 say
"Alternative Sales Channel Bunut, *include name* speaking, what can i do to help you?"
Skali atu, i tink we wer beribun d ofis.. n telepon bunyi.. skali.. i answrd d phone, atu gugup lah ktawa2 lagi tu.. n inda lagi tercakap ani wah, putus2 brabis.. nervous hantap.. skali guess whu on d other line? d big boss, Andy!! .. gila atu ia abis ku kna marahi.. ia cakap.. "is dis how u answer the phone? bla bla bla.." mati yo! tutup telepon n trus gtau my colleague wat happen :S n den inda batah atu.. ada tia c andy datang lawat ofis kami! GILA kali!! well i dun remember wat happen den, tapi i dint get in trouble plg.. mabi my boss plg kna marah kli cs inda "melatih" d workers properli hahaha.. nice~
dat ws a gr8 experience.. i miss SCB!!

Last last thursday, 20th november, i went 2 Crosby beach, liverpool.. no, not 2 enjoy d sunset nor d sun (wat sun??) .. plus its way 2 cold kn pigi beach jua.. y did i go nways? As if i have a choice, went der for sedimentary module wer ada group work and have 2 do presentation by d end of d day.. 2moro d final presentation, still kinda bangang bnr nya, iath kn buat research apa ni :p las minute wah.. as usual..
wats so special bout Crosby beach u wonder? ..
dy'v got all dis statues (the iron man) around d beach.. it luks creepy plg.. and as if all dis man standing der middle of d beach, if air naik, mcm usulnya diorng lamas haha.. i duno cana explain.. baca bawah for futher explaination..
" The figures themselves have a sense of serenity and thoughtfulness, as they stare out to sea, all facing in the same direction and in the same pose, they appear as though they’re partaking in some sort of ancient ritual from which they cannot be distracted or shaken from. This is made all the more eerie as people have a tendency to stand beside the sculptures, looking out to sea as if expecting to discover what they’re looking for, making it impossible to tell which is which! On closer inspection the figures are vague in detail and rusty, punctured with several plug holes where iron was poured in the casting process - conjuring images from the Warner Bros ‘Matrix’ and the umbilical cord like tubes coming from Keanu Reeves (or is that just me?)"
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/articles/2005/07/05/art_antony_gormley_feature.shtml)aside from enjoying d view.. i ws measuring all dis ripples index, wavelengths, d current direction, bedforms, etc, etc..
wish me luck for d presentation 2moro.. till den~

Lavatories
Prisoners were only allowed to use the WC's and urine in the mornings & evenings after roll call, occasionally, also the midday break. Wenever, they wud have onli few minutes. Sick, weakened or older inmates who might hav fallen down in the rush, were trampled on by others and remained on the floor covered in increments. Anytime, anywhere - including in the lavatories the SS staged regular acts of torment. Prisoners who were _ to work, had to stand, without moving a muscle, all day long to this unaired space. Some inmates have actuali been drown by SS men in the water closets.
Bathrooms..
This is where, in the mornings, prisoners had to wash themselves. At certain times, up to 400 men would be squeezed into a barrack like this one. They had onli 30 min for waking up, rations being handed out, washing, then on to roll call. Consequentli, 8 to 10 people wud b standing at dis 2 basins with onli cold water springing - like a fountain - from d middle. The washrums wer also yet another site of terror. SS guard are known to hav drowned prisoners in d basin for washing feet.
