kind of exhausted and not so

i was supposed to continue with my concern over the 2nd link to be built soon connecting both Batus (Batu Maung and Batu Kawan) haha..

first i thought of drawing a map showing how the island will look like after the 2nd link is built. but as a result of my procrastinating behaviour and laziness to be exact i din lah obviously.

i haven't had time to even read the magazine i brought home since last week okayyy?

been busy for the week First with my work Secondly with my SLEEP!

baka! So Damn no LIFE man!

i realised i have been making a big fuss over my life nowadays. But i couldnt help it ma.

So so so bored please find me some entertainment.

Just came home after lunch @ Kim Gary with my mama. Bumped into Ms. Goon who went to do some shopping while popping around with the intention of looking at the Ms Youth that is going on today which one of my friend is involve in. Her name? Clara Khoo ( i dun even know her name is Clara till today)

I'm so damn full now. High on Baked Cheese Chicken Chop Rice and "Lai Cha" plus Red Bean Snowy and Thyfoon Style Noodle Soup and Borsch Soup. Okay do make things clear here i shared with my mum. Like i can finish all.

Ok and back to my conversion. Temp to Perm. This is the jargon used in the working environment. My manager told me to redo my resume because the previous that i'd submitted for that Pricing analyst temp was way TOO SIMPLE (or empty she said)

She forwarded me a copy of the Job description and resume for my reference. Haha Thanks I (her name starts with I) Was told to do it on Tuesday when i only manage to lift my heavy fingers and laptop to draft a new one just now before lunch. I'm so lazy rite?

She told me to draft it as informative possible so as to reflect that i know how to handle a few task so that i receive a FAIR pay. Yalah! otherwise underpaid "ma cham"

haihss...anyway i wanna cabut liaw

traffic jam JAM JAM!!

the congestion on the island kills nowadays. Those travelling from the Province Wellesley take up to at least 1 1/2 hours to reach the Island if there was a massive jam.

The solution to it has finally come => Penang's second bridge and monorail projects given cabinet approval

and please refer to this link From Star Online

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/3/nation/15035546&sec=nation


But...

How much time needed to the completion of this 9th MP?

The current 13.5 km long Penang Bridge that stretches from P.W costs RM800mn (at the time of building) and took 5 yrs to a completion in 1985.

The Second Penang Bridge NOW stretches 24KM long from Batu Kwan to Batu Maung is estimated to cost RM 1.1bn)

A little bit more to finish is that it has a monorail system on the bridge. sounds interesting huh?

Oh well...then the 2nd Penang Bridge will replace the current Penang Bridge as the Longest in Asia ranked 5th in the world.

But how long will it take to complete? 5 yrs or less than tht? I really wish so.

But i have a concern here...( i shall come back later on the concern as currently i have some work to do)

ages ago

realised the last time i blogged was last monday.

but i dont find anything to blog about yet.

oh I just remembered. had a reunion lunch with a bunch of my high school mates the day b4. actually there were only 7 of us (7 tht's our number and what a coincidence). one thing difft is this time ALL GIRLS.

Lunch at Kocha and as usual i was there the earliest and those who is and will be late was late. They came at 1.30pm. I'm used to it but can they just be early? at least once? bah!

Let me say this to you here. To me if u are late for an event it implies that it has very least importance to you and you are not serious about it!

We were making so much noise in Kocha ( a taiwanese restaurant lah) that the boss came to us and told us to lower down our voice ( so paiseh and we left after tht)

We continued our "loud" plus "noisy" session in Coffee Bean Belissa Row. We were there from around 3 to 6.

Then we went into our separate ways before meeting each other back at 9 plus (which i was the driver who drove them up to Batu Feringghi) aiming to sapu some DVDs home. It was me only. They were all aiming for accessories. 3 didn't go with us.

And what's shocking is when we reached the tourist belt in batu feringghi...we saw a lorry right infront of the dvd stalls with the display table all lifted up *all blanks* with no lights . (am i describing it rite tht u get me?) So "sou heng" rite?

The authorities was just doing their sapuing job. Sapu-ed all the dvds before i could even sapu.

hmmm not much luck eyyy...

i guess i should be sleeping kinda early tonight cus i went to bed last night at 1 and i woke up with a sexy voice this morning.

*needs more water as bling got dehydrated*

Later Note: Not very early hey....it's 10.06 now. I should be sleeping now! when im not and im chatting on MSN. sheesh

The Targus Defcon Lock FOC from my Upper Manager. I found the usage of it. Lock my ankle to the chair? So tht it will heal faster. hmmph!

shit man!!

I'm so NOT ME!!

I woke up early in the morning 9 o' clock and rushed to Gurney Plaza to do some shopping

oh gosh....i'm getting worried man! i've never done this kinda thing before! FIRST TIME EVER

I only bought 3 pairs of shoes from Vincci. (should I say ONLY?)

Wanted to buy some tops but aiks could not get at least one.

:(

heavy downpour

a heavy downpour yesterday morning started just before i roll out from my bed.

And then i only left the house at 7.20 when my sister needs to be in school at 7.30. THe journey to my ex-school is just around 20mins. When we reach the school area it was already 7.45. Guess i saw who?(only Colistrians know this) I saw Encik Rozaidi!! standing at the 1st porch giving instructions to cars going into the school compound to drive straight down.

hahahahahahaha.....He looks quite old now. With a pair of glasses. I could still remember the time when he first came to our school; he looks quite blur cus he was new and he was our Form teacher in 2Ungu. The naugthiest class in the year 1998! Fought in a Science project and apparently a group of us was accused of being the "ta jie ta" in class which lead to us ended up drinking coffee in the headmistress' office. Yeah i was one of them! And then in year 1999 a friend and i was transferred to another class separated from the other group of friends who was in 3 Ungu. I was in 3 Indigo back then.

But looking back at it now, i have no regrets cus i know i didn't do wrong. WE were and will be innoccent in that case in 1998.

Anyway....tht downpour cleared the haze out of penang's way. It was crystal clear with visibility up to 10km.

Fell sick yesterday and left work earlier at 3pm.

:(

hazey haze frustration

It's now 8.22AM and i just reached the office 22 minutes ago.

What i did was Setting up my PC, Updating the Ms Outlook, Read The Star Online and now on blogging. Haven't started working? More or less with this way too ancient laptop.

Anyway...

The renovation here on the 1st floor finally has come to a completion. and

We have new cubes on the floor. and

There will be some relocations of seatings. and

I'm kind of affected. cus

My upper level manager is coming to sit right BESIDE me!!!

Oh GAwD!

NO MORE

1) Blogging and blog hopping
2) e-news @ Star Online
3) SUDOKU!
4) Freedom


Sigh..............

oh nooo.......world's turning upside down

I thought the HAZE yesterday was worst.

Today's is A DISASTER

I wanted to snap a picture of the haze condition but i see no point doing it cus i can't even see the Penang Bridge from the Coastal Highway.

the visibility runs from 5km to 8.

It's feels damn stuffy and also feeling a little uneasy over the air inhaled in to my system.

What's worst on top of this polluted air is TSUNAMI is back!

Not Penang but a neighbour of Penang in one of the islands of Java. please please don't hit Penang again cus i don't want to be waken up from my sleep over a shaking bed.

HAZE IS GETTING WORST!!!

I can hardly breathe outside! It's so so polluted out there that until now the sun hasn't turn up from her sleep.

Can u imagine the severity of the haze?

It's Cloudy!

But...

It's NOT a NATURAL CLOUDY!

I don't like!

It causes eye iritation!!!

name revealed

I finally remembered asking my mum about the "Ling" which should be my name.

Instead of 龄 or 玲。

It should be this 伶。

According to her.. it's "Ling Li's " Ling. ( i hope the reader understands this)

Had such a yummy dinner last night. Went for the Famous Char Koay Kak on Burmah Rd. Then had the Ice Cream Fondue at Haagen Dazs. A good one and i only paid MYR15 for tht thing. Hahahahahaha......

Also yesterday, my upper level manager came to our cube with 6 small boxes. At that moment i had some thoughts. What is in the box huh?

And then i could see on the label that says

"Targus Defcon Cable Lock"

simply just a Laptop Lock for FREE. Give me a moment to check the list price on the internet.

*pressed Ctrl+T for a new Tab running om Mozilla Firefox and typed ap.dell.com and started searching*

came back with a dissappointment. I CAN'T FIND IT!

I guess it should at least be 25 bucks!

What should i do with it? Lock my laptop? The laptop that i used in the office is way too ancient to be stolen. No offence OK.

Lock my own lappie at home? Kinda stupid isn't it? Since i've got one that i dun even bother locking it, why do it now after i got this extra one FOC?

baka janai...!

I was talking to a friend on the Windows Messenger (internal msn @ office) and i told her she can stop looking at the 4 letter word if she resigns.

Don't mistaken the 4 letter word as F*** like how she felt OK?

The FOUR LETTER WORD THT i mean here is D-E-L-L! Whenever u click on the toolbar on your desktop u see the 4 letter word and if u do have this brand of PCs u'll know.

:P

destined to stay up north

Last weekend my parents went to the fortune teller miles away from home.

Why do we need to find fortune tellers? Of course there are reasons behind it.

I have no idea what my chinese name for Ling is . My dad said it is supposed to be this 龄 and because it was too complicated for me to write i was told from young to write this 玲. And then my mother said since they are heading towards south they might as well go to the Fortune Teller and ask which kinda "Ling" i am suited with.

And so they found out what kinda "Ling" that suits me that until now i have not made myself informed.

Why? Cus it's not very important here.

Most importantly is this. Fortune Teller said

" I'm destined to stay up north"

My destiny is that i'm only suitable to work in the Northern part of a place apparently. Which now makes a lot of senses. I'm not a very superstitious person i have to stress here but i have to believe what they have to say and what i see (otherwise where are the explanation? Someone please tell me why?)

1st.. This journey back to Sydney, my father did not have a look at the condition of the day on the Chinese Calendar (which usually he will). So i was badly injured on my ankle. (this point is to prove why i have to believe what the fortune teller said)

2nd..If i was able to work in the Southern part of the globe why did DIMIA coincidentally increase 5 points in April 2005 and why not April 2006 or even April 2004? (Best explains it isn't it?)

3rd..Been to a handful of interviews in KL and in the end most aren't successful. It's either i don't want the job or I failed their assessment tests.

In Conclusion

I can't travel down to KL, Singapore, Indonesia or Australia or New Zealand to get myself employed because i just don't have that kinda destiny with these places. So those places will sit on the list solely for travelling purposes.

So u might hope to see me moving towards the North side to Sungai Petani? Haadyai? Chiang Mai? Laos? Hong Kong? Taiwan? Japan? Korea? Europe? UK? or the US? We shall see how things goes?

And the other thing they asked was

What kinda husband should i choose? What age plus what zodiac?

*faints*

I haven't ask them either.

Well Well Well......given what the fortune teller said about me not suitable working in the Southern side. I will not give up cus who knows? Destiny can change as time passes by i believe. It could be that in the meantime i wont be able to secure a job? 3 years down the road if i try i might get one. Right?

team building dinner at Shang Palace

The Shang Palace























A normal table prep looks like this



















With my existence it looks like this























1st Dish of the Night. The "Little Monk Jump Over the Wall" or famously known as "Fat Tiu Cheong"


























Review: The little white thingy (top pic) apparently is what they call Fish Maw. In overall terms i used to thought a Fat Tiu Cheong should come in big pot and not as watery as what i ate tht day

Rating: 5/10


2nd Dish : Cheezie Lobster

























Review: Doesn't Look tempting isnt it? Compared to this (rated 9/10)



















Rating: 4/10


3rd Dish: "Soon Hock" Steam Fish























Review: Reared fish and so it doesnt have much taste. Other than being fresh.


Rating: 4/10


4th Dish: Scallop with Cauliflower
























Review: Best dish of the night. Yummy with it's ultimate freshness and it's tender soft scallop

Rating: 8/10

Last but not least : "Suit Kap" for Dessert
























Review: Worst of all i have to say. The little why thingy tht u see is what we call the "Suit kap" and it's hard and not smooth. Unlike the one i ate the other time it was so smooth that it melts in my mouth that i can swallow it in a second.

Rating: 1/10


Overall: I will not step into that restaurant anymore as i think the food served are not so excellent. (Should have gone to the Jade Palace Restaurant or Starview instead!) That few dishes comes to a total of MYR2152 after a 25% discount. Which means it's actual cost was MYR2869. I personally think it's a little bit overpriced. Over not the ingredients but the QUALITY of the food. Malaysia is not a good place to eat these kind of delicacies i came to realise. Comparing to how much i spent in Sydney having to eat Really Huge Lobster and Big Mud Crab i think it's so so much worthful and i have to say luckily we decided to go for the dinner in EAST Ocean. Thumbs Up!

when did you?

ITALY go rock the football field this Sunday!!

I remembered bringing up the issue of not sending my car for shower for 6 weeks. (back from Sydney for 1month plus 2 weeks)

And so i decided last night to bring "him" for a quick shower before my dad again bring him to his hometown this weekend. "He" should be quite clean after a quick one last night and who knows IT POURS THIS MORNING!

I was sitting right inside the car with great surprises or anger should i said it? If i dun wash it, the sun will be shining happily and if i do wash it, it will rain right on the next day or 2 days later. What the helll!

Let me dwell with this. Actually it's not easy to. About me being the light sleeper. Having to be one can be good like if someone break into the house you can call the police. (how mann times out of 10 a house can be broken into?) I hate myself being a light sleeper that even after a phone rang i could hardly sleep back. So last night what? I slept at around 2AM over my light sleeper-ness! SToooOpid! Yet another thing is that i hate myself being so PESSIMISTIC over certain things lately.

There's this long weekend ahead where Monday is the Replacement Holiday for The Birthday of the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri for Penang. Which is So GoOD cus i GET TO WATCH THE FINALS! The plan for the long weeked would be just World Cup Semi Finals and World Cup Finals. Cus i have no car to go jalan jalan....sigh

and just a reminder to myself and those who needs to be reminded.

IT'S JULY

ITALY WON!!!

Germany lose :(

Frankly...i like both teams. So whoever win or lose doesn't matter.

BUT don't let France win! *blek*

I thought today was Tuesday. I did not realise how time really flies. Honestly before lunch i thought i was still lying in the hours of Tuesday.

Just put on my initial on the Letter of Contract Extension with Dell. If things go smoothly i will be in Dell until 6th January 2007. A long time to go huh? That's when it marks my life 1 year after graduation! sigh.........

Updates of my ankle: I could see my veins clearly now! Unlike when it was swollen it looks like a "mi ku". Although there are still a bit of swolls left; at least i can walk faster now. Anyone wanna join me for a shopping spree this weekend? hahahah


Recent Joy
Other than the World Cup Mania there has been a recent craze about Superman. Hotlink presented me with a FREE Superman Ringtone and an Operator Logo. Everyone out there shares the same conversation about how Italy beat Germany and how Rooney was sent of by the referee such as even FIFA have no idea why a Red Card was issued to him. Besides that, the other same conversation shared is Superman! Because he's returning ...to the skies? No no...he's coming to the screens!

But i'm going to watch STAY ALIVE! this Friday with my team sekalian. And they have decided to go to the Trader's Hotel by Shangrila for the 5 course dinner. Eat what? I have no idea other than knowing that there's lobster and abalone. No more "Fat Tiu Cheong" for reasons tht i havent find out.

It doesn't matter anyway....

a 3 month old Imago

He is MiNE!






















Let me introduce you to him. Born on the 23rd March 2006. Name called IMAGO PGT**** (better don't disclose it here cus we never know how many stalkers there are out there) But it's damn obvious i shall say cus my car is the only one having the title PGT on the road. The rest are all after tht like PGU,PGV and now PGW and so on...bla bla blahh

Do get it right. It's neither Green nor it is Silver.
It is Green when the sun shines. (Day colour) and
It is Silver when the light shines on it. (Night colour)

Why he? Because i have to maintain *him* every month. take *him* to shower every fortnightly ( in fact i havent bring him to shower ever since i came back from Sydney) He is superbly full of dirt now. What to do wor? I have a fractured ankle.

i know it's tough, but i know u can do it

Let's do some blogging before i head for home.

The team that i am in will be holding their team building this Friday.

I thought i would be involved in that event cus i'm only on temp maa..

But i was told tht i can join them hahaaha... for a free dinner and movie.

According to them we might go to either CRC or Shangrila's now called Trader's Hotel (only traders can go *blek*)

What we gonna eat?
shark's fin, big prawns, fresh fish without doubt will be in the menu.
Another important dish is the "Fat Tiu Cheong" (i think they call it Monk Jump over the Wall? in English?) i have no idea laa...
And dessert will be the Suit Kap (yeah again) hahahahahaha

Oh another dish too..THE LOBSTER. I just ate it a month ago! yummie lobster


I think rite...they really know how to EAT! Know how to "POU"!
Not scared nose bleed meh? So "POU"

hahahaah but damn happy get to eat "hou yeh". pray hard my nose wont bleed la yea.


Later Entry
While i was on my way home, i had this sudden crave over fried chicken. So i dropped by KFC @ Tesco thought of rewarding myself some crispy strips. Well they don't sell it anymore to my surprise. So i rewarded myself the Pop Chicken (no corn in it so i refused to call it PopCorn Chicken) instead.

















In not exceeding 30mins. 3/4 Gone! *blek* *gallop* *gaaalllooopsSs* yum yum

hope you are doing good there

I took a day off yesterday to attend another interview. This time with the monetary policy authority.

I was so dumb to have forgotten that it was a Friday and i did not buy myself a return ticket to the little island i was from and so I GOT MYSELF STRANDED in "Kay Elle"

What happened was after the interview session with the 3 panels, i took another 2 hours completing a test. When i've finally done with that Harrison something something personality test it was already 6.15pm. When i finally reach the Bank Negara stop via KTM it was already 6.30. With the speed that i'm walking like limping takes even more time to move from places. I then try to get tickets to Penang from Plusliner at the Old Train Station. (i don't know if i'm right but tht's what the lady from the Informasi told me so).

Plusliner dan Nice semua dah penuh! (I was flashed with these words)

Then...what happen was i walked ( or limp?) all the way to Pudu (far right? but do i seem to have any choice?) to get bus tickets.

Same thing i heard the lady said, "Ke Penang dah Penuh hari ini."

Ish!...Without having much choices i bought a ticket for the bus home this morning @ 10AM.

Disturbed my cousin again at her place. I don't have any clothes with me not even a toothbrush or a cleanser. Nothing!

I survived as I was lucky to have my box of clothes at my cousin's. Otherwise i will be like a mad woman wearing the same old shit for 2 days smelling like salted fish? hehehehehe...

As i was on the way home today, i was browsing through The Star and i came across this article. Pressing on how an abandoned project in 1998 called the Bayan Mall Project currently known as Queensbay Mall should be completed ahead of schedule by 6 months in the coming November. It will be the largest mall in Penang. Jusco will still be the anchor tenant for the mall and i was quite shocked to see that TGI Friday's is coming to Penang. Zara too and some others that i obviously don't remember.

Another separate article i read on Thursday was that Hard Rock Cafe is coming to rock Batu Feringghi. How true will the article be? Time should tell us.

I bought a copy of the Cleo magazine and i love the current issue so much! and i shall share with you the content of CLeo in the coming post.

Need to get some rest before the Brazil vs France match (1998 World Cup later at 3am GMT 0800) after having watched the England vs Portugal match that led to Portugal's victory in a 3-1 win penalties shootout

what more to say?

Been there done tht!

If you can count how many times in just this 5 months after which i came home, How many times did i go all the way to the "city" for interviews?

How many window shopping i did in KLCC, MidValley and 1-Utama? How many buses, LRT and Monorails i took in KL?

That will come to uncountable soon. Why? Because just last week i came back after a long weekend in KL and then happy to say (or should i not?) that im going down to the Central Region again.

But this time it will be a real short one.

Almost every month i will have a moment where i feel restless and i think it happens now. Or why else i'm blogging on all these?

All the flashing backs, the stupidities and sillyness.

baka! i don't really know what am i typing now

before i reach the level of insanity and come out with non making sense words i shall stop here. right here!

20062006

refer today's date for the title of the day

been having thoughts these few days. It keep on coming till which it's hard to come to a full stop.

Quote for the week "When will these thoughts come to a STOP?"

Well well well...

I will be heading down to the City this weekend and do wish me Best of Luck.

There will a Career Fair that will be held in Mid Valley this weekend too and i should be there.

i don't know what is there to talk about..to blog about cus i've lost my words to blog. aihs nvm

scroll...scroll to look at the pictures

also to present you this interesting picture

Starbucks Coffee in QVB which is under Renovation. Isn't it Cool?

officially graduated, employed but actively looking for a job

Just 2 days ago i've got an offer for an interview in KL next Thursday. This is what i've been waiting; waiting to be shortlisted. And finally here it comes and there are in total 34 candidates for that particular program. If i manage to get that position i will most probably ended up in KL city. Which also means i'm moving down.

This trip to KL will be a long one that stretches from Thursday to Sunday. Needed to go to 1-Utama for some shop shop. :P Now praying hard that my ankle should heal by then. Another headache thing is applying for leave (Yes again!)

Last few days at work was as usual. One abnormality is that i've been thinking much, much on nostalgias. Flashing backs...bringing out all the memories i had in my previous life chapter that officially ended last Sunday 11th June (a date that is easily remembered)

What did i do for the past few days from 31st to 11th June in Sydney. Needless to say it does mean a lot and it should be recorded down. but not here...

dear diary......

bla bla bla bla bla


Back to the year 2001. graduated from high school with such a decent and innocent mind.During that time i thought the transition period was hard. Thinking of what to do. Of course Form 6 is an Absolute NO NO! Whether to go to KL or stay in Penang? If in Penang where? INTI, KDU, Disted or TARC? (back then it was one of the most popular colleges in Penang)
















2002. Completed the NSW HSC in Inti Int'l College Penang. Another transition period which wasn't quite hard to go through.














2003.Enrolled myself in The USyd Commerce Program for 2 semesters. The hardest time is right after the 2 semesters. Thinking of where to go. UQ? USyd? UAdelaide? or ANU? Wanted to get into ANU badly but they offered me a place for 3 yrs. Well well coming to USyd is what i always wanted to; so in the end i went to USyd.(that so far i have not regretted going as it marks one of the best chapter in my life)

















2004 - 2005. Needless to say what had happened because it is so meaningful that it's undescribeable by words

2006. One of the WORST Transition period. That's where my career starts. Struggling now towards the job that i've been looking for. Also to the other 3 guys in the 7 who will or has started their career, Do make sure to chase after what u want to do and Best of Everything.






















2007 and beyond. I think i will still be working hard like a mad woman. We shall see how it goes. I may look like this

another 6 months i go

I have just receive a confirmation of my contract renewal with Dell. And i will be on contract with them for another 6 months.

Benefits outweighs the cost of it. Cus other than staying employed i can seek for a new job. Although it seems quite blurry from now on which direction i wish to follow i have faith upon the job that i wish to opt for.

I'm aware how life can be difficult during this transition period but i think it's worth the wait. Because i know bearing a fruit needs effort.

And so im gonna be sticking with the word Dell for as long as until end of this year.Which means i will be in Penang until end of the year as for now unless i've got a job offer and supposed to go somewhere don't know what.

And at the same time actively seeking for a job. Any opportunities in the areas of Banking and Finance please let me know peeps.

Since i will be here. eh those there let's plan a trip somewhere end of the year laaa. I will be here. Right here waiting...

Back to serious stuff now

I woke up with my ankle a little swollen this morning. I think the reason was that i wore a sports shoes for the whole day (i should have put on the brace)

BUT If i dun wear a sports shoes how am i gonna drive???

A friend offered to drive me to work and Today i put on the braces and i'm sitting on this blue chair in front of this laptop blogging AGAIN.

Thought of going to the physiotherapist soon to see the condition of my ankle and also to get some MCs so that i can rest at home. At the same time feeling bad for taking MCs but i can't help it.

Will see how la ha...

I'M BORED!!!

Yahoo Horoscope says this to me :

Planning your future can feel like a task that's hard to get your arms around -- after all, how can you look into the future with any sort of certainty? Things are in a constant state of flux -- especially now -- so you'll feel less frustrated if you just let life go on as it is for a little while longer. There's no need to pin down every little goal you have. There is a real mystery in your future, and you should see it as a very exhilarating thing.

Quite true...

to those days

What happened on the night i arrived?
Parents has a great shock looking at my ankle.

Then..
Started unpacking. That made me realise how little stuff i have and how much food i brought home.

Then..
Decided not to work on Monday which is yesterday. Rested at home the whole day. Sleeping time scares everyone away. Woke up at 9am. Slept at 12pm to 4pm. Then slept at 12 am after the dinner. Elder sister ordered Fried Crab tht i'm quite sick of eating already during dinner.

Now..
Sitting in front of this lappie blogging away after i drove to work this morning that safely reaches Dell Asia Pac. Finished doing a few pricing files and now feeling a little restless because god knows how many times i yawned. I took 15 mins to walk from the parking lot to my office which normally can be reached in 5 mins time. And im back to work...work and work...

That's my life and how it's gonna be from now on. Just work work and work. I really miss those times i had in Uni and of course particularly the 10days in Sydney although i had a fractured ankle. I so wish that time can just stop there but it doesnt seems will do. Well as time passes by im sure we will meet each other again. Looking forward for tht time.

At the moment hoping to lodge an insurance claim to get back my AUD 300 spent on my fractured ankle. Wish me luck and also Hope to recover soon...

To Mr Chin, Min Li, Joy, Kim Teck and Yien Von
Thanks for your great care and hospitalisation when i was back then.
Thanks for the graduation gift too to all. Good Luck in Final Exams and Happy Winter Holidays

back to where i used to be which also coming to an end

whatever that has its beginning for sure will come to an end. And if u ponder on that same thing over and over again u will never move on.

Sometimes i wonder if i did move on? or have i been in tht particular time frame that i didnt move on at all. some odour reminds u of someone or something and some songs reminds u of someone or something or some time too.

I was overly obsessed with this song for such a long time tht i think if it is to be played here it feels utterly different.

Am i insane?

Well things was going allright except the fact that i had to wear tht brace for 5 weeks and i doubt i could drive to work.

I've learned that what i say has got its effects on someone i know. What i think is that if u want to find out something come straight to me and stop guessing. Taking up freaking 3 months to go through isnt worth it my dear. And now tht knowing the truth u will realised that u have wasted 3 months on this Shit i said which isnt all about you at all.

A memorable Birthday and Graduation Day

My 22nd Birthday

Kim Teck and My Graduation Day

"sappai"

how do i usually go thru the weekends?

1. Drama watching
2. Sleeping
3. Doing nothing
4. Eating Hokkien Prawn Noodles every saturday and Curry Noodles every alternate Sundays
5. Family dinner every Sunday (eat out version)

and i realised how "O-U-T" i am. I did not realise there's an A&W outlet on Gurney Walk nor there is a traffic light stop on one of the main streets in Island Glades that connects to Yeap Chor Yee road.

yet so what? why making such a big fuss on that?

a friend gave me a L-O-U-D "AIYOH" last night.

well i think if i do not have anything to do or buy why bother go to one of the hottest place on the earth of Penang called Gurney Plaza where the traffic jams almost happen for 24/7. Last night i was caught in a massive jam for half an hour and another 15mins just to get a parking place in Gurney. and what is worst is that i drove 2 rounds passed kelawai road then to gurney drive just to get into the multi storey car park in Gurney Plaza. Realising the stupidness of driving for the 3rd round i could not bother more thus parked my car on the space next to gurney plaza which is also managed by Gurney Plaza management only that it's an open air car park. Luckily it was at night or else you will get to eat Roasted Bling

so i strongly reckon all the ppl here dun ever go to GP during peak period. Sien looking at the jam on the roads! Penang's getting excessively jam. My friend who went to KL to work for only 3 months had a huge shock last night. She said what's goin on with Penang lately? So much cars huh?

Let me tell u a fact. Car plate number registration is running as fast as the thunder and lightning could go. My Kelisa was registered 2 months ago and it is called PGT **18. Today it's PGV. What i wanna stress is that a letter runs for a month only.

Freaking 1 month OK?

That actually tells u why i dun like going down to the city of Penang during weekends cus the traffic can never be smooth. So how else i know when and where we have new openings of food outlets or boutiques? On top of that i have absolutely nothing to shop.

Later Entry

Innocent i should say as i was trying to look for the envelop for some documents in one of the cabinets the metalic spray bottle fell and dropped on my left foot this afternoon.

Right away blue black could be seen. And it is still very painful now! A simple touch could release the pain.

Frustrating...

friend--ster

i tried logging in to one of the hottest site on earth called friendster.

2 attempts using Mozilla Firefox = Failed

First attempt with Internet Explorer = Passed Through

After i manage to log into my Personal Page on Friendster i was impressed! Impressed again by how much they changed the layout of it. But to no avail, all my attempts to "kaypo" like it be viewing pictures or checking who has viewed me all failed to load.

And this is not the first time friendster had changed their layout and then causes it taking ages to load. and currently while i'm blogging, the page that i click on to view pictures is still loading and it will take forever to load. ISH!

tsk tsk...

so i wasnt that impressed afterall.

i learnt a new phrase yesterday. I will share it with you guys when i see you next week.

sicko

previous post was a picture of the team tht i'm working in dell. well i haven't had the time to pen down a few words regarding that. it doesnt matter heh.

Anyway...
Time's running out. A few days is left at work. Yay! I'm really tired of working now. this month especially i've worked 22 hours of OT.

imagine coming home everyday at 7. I could not imagine later on if i were to get a job that requires me to work till 10 or 12. I would be in deep shit. It's really damn tiring. Ytd was the worst day. Felt hungry at 9.30am which led to me having my lunch at 11.

yes that early!

And then while working on what am i supposed to do i felt very much pain on my head. Had a very bad headache. To make things more difficult is that my eyes were in pain too. Shall it be a symptom of anything? It started 3 days before. or might it be What i need is just sleep?

And i didnt had enough sleep last night. Slept quite late, woke up at 7.30 am.
My time is all screwed up. and i think it's gonna be even more screwed up this wednesday night.

and hopefully i wont look like a panda on the 2nd when im supposed to snap pics of my graduation. One of the most important day of my life. Oh please dont make me look like a panda.

moved

The PC set now sits well in the living room after i kick it out from my super small room.

Talking about PCs,I bought this system about 2months ago and right after a month of usage not that i wanna say anything. My Creative speaker produces noises which is a sign that it actually is a faulty product. Well it actually develop a kind of feeling in me that this brand isnt that good after all. The next time im gonna buy a speaker it wouldnt be Creative anymore i should say. This happens to a lot of people who make purchases who i should say customer experience and confidence. I seriously lack of these on Creative now.

The speaker was sent in for warranty servicing for how long u guess?

1 month! Freaking long 1 month! and then they could not repair it that they replace the speaker. huh?

Anyway i only wish to express my frustration over the purchases i made.

And today what i did was digging out the medium sized luggage bag and cleaned it. Now finding a way to pack the things in that small luggage bag.

Come to think about it...i think i'm not bringing much food. What i have is only Heong Pneah, Rojak Paste, Agar-agar, Ms Low's special request mushroom soup and Curry Chicken Paste and it's already H-E-A-V-Y.

Yet to buy is Tau Sar Pneah, Phong Pneah and "Shanghai Chai".

Not much though. haihs....i have no idea what is there to buy to bring over. I think i better figure out how to pack my things first before anything.

on OT for the past few days for 2 weeks

havent been blogging for a week.
the story wil begin this way

Last week was a real busy week. I was busier than a bee is. And no doubt this week isnt relaxing afterall.

Went for a BBQ party organised by a colleague who stays in Tg Bungah last Friday. Will show u the pics we took if my colleague do send it to me.

And then back to work after the long weekend with loads of work to do. Almost everyday other day if the clock never hit 7 you wont see me packing up heading towards home sweet home.

But today with my auntie coming to pay me a visit, i left earlier leaving behind 6 price books that i have yet to finish. It seems that i have to finish it tomorrow no matter what because if i dont i will fall behind as we are required to attend a meeting on Friday at Northam Tower as it is the kick-off for our dept.

And so i was supposed to attend a dinner tomorrow at 68 Kelawai with my colleagues due to their Quarter 2 calendar kick-off which i now not sure if i have to go.

Well if im not going means i'm not gonna see the"big" ppl of Dell for the dept that im working for and also the nice food! *drools*

And even if i dont go i can have my own sweet time w/o needing to eat and talk in front of strangers. That's just not being myself to keep my mouth shut. As it is an awkward and strange situation to be quiet because out of 10 sentence they say i think i only do understand 1 sentence. (not the least though kekeke...sometimes i dont catch anything!)

Anyways...we shall see how.

Before anything, my manager approved my leaves! yay! yay!!!


2 weeks more to catch the flight to fly all the food and dramas to Sydney and of course myself :P

I have not finished shopping for food. Like i have to get Him Heang Tau Sar Pneah and Phong Pneah as well as Curry Chicken Paste and Shanghai Pickled Vegetables.

The rest that i need are all sitting in my luggage bag.

What more to do now? Wait for time to pass lah! and also expect more work like Price books to do in the coming 1 and a half week before i fly as free as flocks of flying birds and leave the word that starts with D for a while. (if only i can fly forever in the skies with no worries) haihss...

One thing im considering now.
To climb or not to climb? To Melbourne or not to? or to Jervis Bay?

I need something to tell me where should i go. The right answer to it is

$$$$

a busy week

been busy since the week started on Monday.

had been working overtime due to some heavy workload from the past few weeks.

This week is not doubt a short week. Everyone is off from work tomorrow Yay!!!

An earlier celebration tonight for the Day off from work.

Mission Impossible III viewing @ GSC Gurney Plaza.

Movies on the list for viewing in the next week days.
Poseidon, X-Men; The Last Stand and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Of course it's easier said than done. I hope i have the time and also not being lazy to climb up to the 8th floor GSC cinemas.

And i have done my work and had a little chill out moments surfing in Wikipedia and i found this.

Min Li u must make sure u see this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi_Goreng

learn how famous can a small place like Penang Island can be?

Go to this link and i guarantee you will understand the most out of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang_cuisine

now i know

Just got back from the Steamboat Dinner. Had a great night eating, laughing and of course 8-ting!
Who was there? 7 of us from the same school and the rest 3 are their post high school friends. And i saw this guy called F who is a friend of my high school mate that i think is quite good looking. kekekeke *blink*. Unfortunately we did not snap any pictures.

It doesnt matter anyway.

Coming to date i realise one thing which i think i told a friend before, i found guys who wear glasses better looking. Why? Cus they look smarter and of course there are exceptional case as it depends on what type of glasses u wear. :p

And this is what i kept forgetting. I see this guy in particular without fail almost every other day at work. He reminds me of a friend who i havent see for some time cus they look so so similar. The difference is that he is shorter than my friend is. We are not from the same dept though. But i see him almost every other day. haihss..if only he is the friend i know. But it's impossible cus he wont end up working in Dell.

do you know?

that this Thursday is an Important day?

Because at 1:02:03 (if u got lost it's h/m/s) on the 4th May is

010203040506

We have from now 1 day 16 hours and 28 mins to the significant number above (Time +0800 GMT)

Later Entry:

Just had lunch and it started to pour 10mins ago. Today is definitely my day. Just had a look at my dashboard and i realised the last time i ever scolded someone was on the 25th Jan (on my blog of course)

And today i felt so so irritated that i wanna scold that irritater again! But i wont let it spoil my wonderful rainy day. No matter what i still had a wonderful night last night with the jokes cracked by a friend. Let today be a good day to be remembered.

Besides, i have a Steamboat dinner with my School Mates.

and the scoldings shall be postponed to a later date. To those who wish to know who is the lucky irritater STAY TUNED

Happy May Day

i believe in this now

Shop Till You Drop

Having a long weekend doesnt mean it's good. You will tend to spend more on shopping.
In just these 3 days i spent..hang on let me calculate.

Groceries that costs me MYR 53

New Pillow that costs me MYR 13 (cheap rite)

New Bag that costs me MYR 45

Clothes that costs me MYR 57

Petrol that costs me MYR 50 (a periodic expense)

Totalled to MYR 218

Worked 5 days a week. Total disposable income per week = (56.66 * 5) * 0.89

equals to

MYR 252.14

Weekly Profit/Loss Statement = MYR 34.14 (which is my lunch for 5 days)

Oh no...i think i overspent for the week. but i havent finished buying

Need a pair of Sandal and Loafers. Purchases has to be postponed to a week before departure to Sydney.

hmm....

letting it go

I keep on thinking if i should be doing this.

Being harsh so that in the end everyone wont get hurt? I'm skeptical about this.

so close

Last night i went to the Autograph session of Nicholas Teo's or (Zhang Dong Liang)
He only sang 2 songs though cus he was sick.

He's doing quite some publicity i think because he will be in Hang Chiang High School's Hall today at 1.oopm.

Hmm i hardly see celebrities going to school halls. :p

Anyway......I feel like buying the CD and get the autograph from him but did not in the end and god knows why.

Well it doesnt matter anyway, i will sure get it next week!

I think i really have to get myself a REAL job soon. A real one as in the area of my interest before i got back from Sydney. Otherwise when i got back i will be cut throat. Cus my contract's coming to an end! Oh no......please approve my applications to those companies tht i've applied to.

3 months gone

a peugeot 406 went on fire this morning on Jalan Sg Pinang. And so it creates a huge massive traffic jam along Jelutong Expressway that heads to that particular road.

And of course when i passed the road the fire was already set off.

This friend of mine once told me "You changed" and so i asked her "Is it good or bad?"

you could guess what was her comment.

I feel like going for a shopping and movie marathon. But i have so much constraint that i could not fulfill it. First time contraints, then money constraints.

Arrgghh...Life's hard.

In these 3 months, all i have been waiting is going back to Sydney for graduation. What about after coming back from Sydney????

i need to get myself a CD!

by Nicholas Teo....

His lyrics are all so meaningful my gosh!

Especially the debut single ONLY ONE

it really feels good to DRIVE

especially

=> under the rain

=> @ 80km/hr while listening to your favourite music

and it must be done

ALONE

as this is the only time where lots of thoughts developed. Having our own silent moments.


Later Entry:

Do you think that if you mixed too much or too long a time with someone you will talk and act like them?

I actually do think so. It is some kind of a peer pressure of some sort.

It may be good and bad and it depends how u see it. And of course being urself is the best.

On a random note : I do not know how long i can stand all this shit already from this friend of mine. What comes from this friend seems to me that it's ALL FAKE. I think this is a hint. I'm beginning to ignore now. When u are in need things seems to be nice and when im not in need and there i could see the true colours and stripes. WTH. And the problem is tht I don't know when will I burst into flames AGAIN! and this is something tht i dont wish to happen.

also another note: I have another interview to attend tomorrow. Hope things go well. ta da...

爱 ， 不简单

but according to the composer here

爱, 恨简单

完了是怎麽开始 也许就是对你有一种感觉

忽然间发现自己 己深深爱上你真得很简单

爱的地暗天黑都已无所谓 是是非非无法决择

没有侯悔为爱日夜去跟随 那个疯狂的人是我哦~

I Love You 无法不爱著你 Baby说你也爱我

I Love You 永远不愿意 Baby 失去你

不可能更快了 只要能在一期起做什麽都可以

睢然都不放弃 这爱的权利 如果你还有一些困惑

爱的地暗天黑都已无所谓 是是非非无法决择

没有侯悔为爱日夜去跟随 那个疯狂的人是我哦~

I Love you 我一直在这里一直在爱你 I Love You (yes I do)

永远都不放弃这爱的权利 如果你还有一些困惑

Oh No 清贴着我的心倾艇 艇握说著爱你 (yes I do) 我爱你

P/S: I hope the lyrics are correct.

the weather and the nostalgia behind it

Been raining lately back here in Malaysia.

It's either not in the morning or it will be during the night.

Rainy days also mean more traffic jams.It is good to be off from work touch sharp 5pm as I will escape from all those jams.

I still like rainy days. In fact I like it so much tht I hope it will rain everyday. A lot of people think it's moody that I should agree but the weather just suits me. Suits me doesn’t mean I'm sad everytime it rains. I found more joy when it is raining. I still remember when I was young I used to play alone in the living room with my "masak masak" ( normal girl's toy lah) and it started raining not too long after that and I will walk to the main door and look at the raindrops falling from the sky. And ever since that day whenever it rains I will stand at the main door and look outside my house. Overlooking the cars that had a heavy shower, my dog called "Lucky" who will hide in his small little wood house and the mango and guava tree which is also having a heavy shower outside. It's good to turn back time now and I wish I could be at that moment forever.

Coming to miss my childhood life back when I used to be home together with mummy while dad and sister was off for work. Younger sister was still quite young that time. It's so good to be small…nothing to worry about. What we worry was toys and food. Unlike now which is so much more like family,career,food, money and education! I wish I can be small forever.. To be the quite spoilt and pampered daughter in the eyes of my family.

I have no regrets though cus I think I had a fantastic childhood.

As it comes to High School, Friendship develops. The spirit to study hard and strive to success is there. Then and that comes all the way to where I finished my Degree.

Right at now I'm starting my career.

or should it NOT A SIGN?

The HR lady called again 2 days ago. This time another lady who I could not rmb what her name was. I had a feeling they are quite desperate for a Finance Executive. Well if I accept their offer also I would only start in July.

The lady was saying that actually Pei Ling (the hiring mgr) wants to hire you.
And I could rmb very clearly how the other interviewer who made her "pa pai" face and also the hiring mgr who made this comment " I don't think u are suitable for this position. As I don't see the push for it from you. Try to convince me as I may be wrong"

What I said?
I told her this " Well I see where u are coming from as what I have been saying is about investments and portfolio mgt and as u could see what I have in mind are all these as this is what I learnt from Uni. You may be wrong."

To people out there who will be looking for a job.

1) Speak Confidently and you will be able to get the job
2) Be Honest
3) Be Confident and speak for yourself

After so many rounds of interview I think this is what they are looking for. Tell them tht THEY MIGHT BE WRONG

It’s quite fun to say this to them and of course provided that they wont feel offended.
The HR lady then went on trying to convince me to take up the position. Telling me that the company offers Home Loan, Car Loan, 2 months bonus, Performance based bonus as well as a Review on Salary Increment every January.

What makes me think she was desperate?
She called my house number and my mum answered the phone when I was away at work because I did not answer my mobile phone. She finally could get me thru on Tuesday 8.30 PM.

Freaking 8.30pm and she was still at work. WoW!

Should it be a SIGN?

While i was driving home yesterday after work the HR lady from Prudential called offering me the position of Finance Executive. The office that is situated in heart of all the clubs are in KL. 2 buildings away from Concorde Hotel and Hard Rock Cafe. Conveniently situated near the Dang Wangi LRT Station and the Bukit Nanas Monorail Station.

So i REJECTED the offer. The reasons behind it is that they offer to pay me what Agilent Technologies in Penang is willing to.

I might as well stay in my Good ol' Penang. Without even thinking twice i rejected it!

Well i guess it should be a sign tht i can never work in KL.

First interview with Cobra KL - i don't think i'm suitable
Second interview with Prudential - it's not even offering the KL market rate!

And surprisingly all interviews tht i have attended in Penang, i could get the position!

SO I have come to this point where i make my final decision to stay in Penang and not to KL anymore.

And so last week the father told the daughter that the trip might go on if he has no contract coming in. Just a few days after that he got the tender from a client. And so it means i'm off to Sydney alone again. It has been finalised and im booking the ticket today.

I realised tht if u own a business u have to "pau sua pau hai" and in the end u are super busy that u cant just go anywhere for a holiday.

And then we have another type of business ppl who can segregate duties to their employees that they could visit 5 to 6 places in a year.

My dad is classified in the 1st category.

When he has no contract he will say this "It's bored AND tolong lah, be a little thrifty and control ur spending, No $$ liau!"

When he is super busy, " aiyo.. i'm very tired and busy"

Life really has it's ups and downs. Even my banking account has its ups and downs. When it reaches the 1st day of the calendar month it goes to the upward trend and as the month goes along until it reaches 23rd to 28th the trend sees a downswing. Yeah currently i'm only in the mid-month and the trend is moving downwards. Oh no....

Province Wellesley 1 day trip

Right after my brunch from Pantai Jerjak this noon we went over to the other side of Penang called P.W

Obviously the person who drove was me and i havent drove crossing the bridge for 2 years and now this time i drove to Permatang Pauh and Mak Mandin and then came back to the Island with the Penang Ferry.

Going over to that side means i had a new hairdo. Which i think is quite the time cus i wanna have a nice hairstyle for my graduation.

I have 46 DAYS to SYDNEY

the CITY tour

7.30am Board the bus

12.15pm Reached Puduraya bus terminal

1.00 pm Had lunch at Bintang Walk

1.30pm Reached Bukit Nanas monorail Station

2.00am The interview

The interview

There were 3 interviewers, 1 quite old, 1 in her 30's, 1 in her 20's.
The old lady and the young lady is quite nice to me during the session but the stupid lady in her 30's came in to the room and made her "PA PAI" face. When i first look at her i know she will go on and make her face and ask questions with a stupid face. The expression tht can only come from her! No anybody can imitate her.

I was thinking that if u ever work with someone like tht, who is so "pa pai" i think u should expect what the working environment will be in the department.

She made me feel as though she's the person who has the “狗眼看人低” look. Don't look down on ppl. I despise u more than how u look down on people for whoever u are. It is obvious tht it's because of who u are that u can be in that position. Your time will come! I wish u good luck and i dun wish to see you ever again!

3.30pm Went to Wisma Technip to get my winter clothing from cousin

4.30pm Reached Lot 10

5.00pm Back to the dangerous and polluted terminal

6.00pm Board the bus

10.40pm Back to the Good Old Penang

day dream

I realised i tend to daydream recently especially when i ride on the bike.

It might be because i have nothing much to do other than paying my full attn to the cars and other bikes tht speeds passed me.

Recently i've been thinking about this. Thinking of myself whom is quite pampered already. Not well pampered but at least what ever tht is necessary and i want it my dad will say OK.
My father has been teling me lately...among the sisters do u know tht u are the most fortunate one. Whatever u want i give it to you. See ur sisters and reflect it to yourself.

And so i think im quite pampered. Although im quite pampered but my father never say he wants to get me a PSP or an iPOD or a digital camera or even a mobile phone.
He said " If u want to buy use ur own marnee"

Come to think about how pampered i am and seeing how my friends are their situation is worst!
This friend of mine for example is super duper pampered. Whatever she has are all branded. "No brand, No buy". That is her motto or should i say her family's motto cus she has 2 elder sisters. Sometimes when i look at her spending money like mad i think she's not using the marnee the right way.

Whatever it is, it is her money and i dont wanna intervene in her life.
And so tht would also mean she doesnt intervene in my life. We have befriended each other for so long and yet she will make sarcastic remarks ( i dont mean tht i could not accept it but if it's repeated u will feel mad!) and being boastful about everything. Talked with a "pa pai" tone.

How would u feel if u have a friend like this? I'm so gonna die if i see her everyday!

yayy!!.....

overly excited recently and i think it may be because of the mth of april or may it because im having a wonderful week. Today's a public hol and another 2 day's of work im gonna on hol again cus im heading down to THE CITY, this time to Jln Sultan Ismail.

last week most people were busy with the All Soul's Day and same to my family. Mum and dad had a journey back to dad's kampung for 3 days and they brought back the yummy chee cheong fun that i havent eat for ages! I had only tht for my dinnner hahahhaha but it's super oily ler (sure gain a bit of weight) aiks!

oh and i had a team meeting last friday and they started to talk about team building. Suggestions were to take a cruise to Pulau Payar. or to the Jerejak Island Spa and Resort. or an apt stay in one of the hotels in Batu Feringgi and eat sumptuos meal just like the one i had during the first week of my work. BUT i wonder if i will ever be involved in tht. Because i'm a non-employee!

If u realise everytime when i send an email out u will see

From: Lim, Bee Ling (non-employee)

And i hope i could go...at least i get to see more things and also to have a little bit more fun.
Everyone is allocated MYR300 u know?
aiyoh.....if only i can join them.

A friend left Dell already and is moving on to her next phase in life. What about me?
The company tht i worked for is not bad. I for some reasons don't like it but if u ever were given an opportunity. Just give it a try for reasons like this

They offer

- Flexible working hours ( i think only a few depts like mine)
- Smart casual attire
- Food Allowance
- Travel Allowance
- Car loan assistance ( which means u pay the price of the car and the interest is borned by the company)
- and another thing is that the car park is FOC

Take out your calculator and start counting. With tht fringe benefits how much u save p.a? On top of ur salary u are given extra money u know?

So in future when u apply for jobs make sure u are well informed about the fringe benefits the company pay you on top of the basics.

And when they say $2000 a month dun expect to see $2000 on your payslip or cheque or account. Because it will never be that amount. Factor in SoCso and EFP (abbrev. in M'sia)

When i was given my payslip and cheque i had the greatest shock in my life. It's really Peanuts!
Hoping April is a better month because i had some OT claims. Otherwise i will be dead.

Ah Jay send me a sms the previous night asking for my interest in the COC Camp back in High School here called Convent Light Street. To be held in JUNE! During the school holidays.
And so i'm having a clash here! To be frank enough here

I MISS HIGH SCHOOL TIME!

Of course the trip to Sydney has to come first and sorry Ah Jay I cant make it and please enjoy and show me the pictures.

more about it

i did not leave out the facts ytd but i havent had the time to continue.

now...this is what i wonder

when Demand > Supply

A certain amount of qty supplied has to be produced to meet the Demand.

or

At least a certain amount is supplied over the qty demanded to meet future demands.

But it seems that the supply is always lesser that what the qty demanded in this instance that i want to talk about

And i came to think about this..

When there are greater demand, workers will have the pressure from their supervisors to work in ungodly hours to finish up the quota for the day. Working under pressure makes u feel restless and it might also harm the level of productivity hence the quality of the product.

Just like the qty for cars demanded...Recently one of the local car production (not to name any here) has to move rapidly due to the infinite demand for it that some people are willing to wait 6mths to get their hands on the car.

IF this is so....Do you think they will produce bad quality cars?
Factor in the quality of the workforce as well as the working environment and the amount of wages received by the labour.

I think there are two sides of argument for this statement. Well, it depends on which angle we look at it.

the journey

To be honest i am a facts person and not a descriptive person. Just so like when i was back in high school i also favour the former over the latter.

Anyways.....some facts and descriptions today. (been wanting to blog but havent had the time)

Well, the Imago went for a holiday with mum and dad and so the poor me is on the scooter again. I think i miss my bike somehow which is now with my elder sister.

and so about the journey....

Immediately after dropping my sister i will pass the Weld Quay where the ferries are, where commuters from the island and the P.W will take on a daily basis. And there are a lot of people who stays over there and comes to work daily on the island. That makes u imagine how crowded the Island will be during the peak hours. And then I came to the Expressway and whether i have the intention or not to i will see the 13.8 km long Penang Bridge that connects the Island and the Province Wellesley with the backdrop of the Sunrise. (not mainland OK?, cus it sounds very China, The father said they still use the word P.W right until today) Whilst along the way of the expressway i there are quite a number of billboards, a few examples will be Maxis and Nokia. Another more surprising one will be this. It says...

"Flamingo, Ikan Lumba-Lumba Merah serta Suasana Romantic Senjakala Semuanya Di Singapura"

It's actually a billboard that advertises the Sentosa Island.

Then i could see Tesco, Secret Recipe and then Sushi King on my right. Right after that i will go into the Coastals Highway connecting to the F.I.Z. Gold Coast is right on my left before i could see the Bayan Bay shopping mall still under construction after 5 to 6 years of abandonment and of course it's going to be completed soon.

Then Intel Technologies stretches along the right side of the road before Agilent Technologies and then Inventec then Seagate and then SMCi electronics i think and then i will turn right into Dell Asia Pac.

I did not forget about the left side of the road cus there's nothing to see except the Jerejak Island that according to them they will Convert it to a Holiday Island. Apparently they have a SPA Resort Already.

The Jerejak Island was used to be a place where the govt used to send convicts there and this is according to my dad. But now it's free of convicts. Cus most of them are in the Penang Jail. :D

CORRECTION:
NOT Convicts BUT Tuberculosis Patients

Today is quite cooling cus it looks like it's gonna rain but i doubt so. Because "Matahari pada waktu pagi sudah Terik, apatah lagi nanti?"

Happy April Fool's Day

Last week i realise how much my dad really care for me. I know how much he care for me la of course. It's just that i didn't thought it would be that much.

Immediately after i got myself a car, my dad bought me an insurance policy.
I remembered him saying that i need to buy my own and now he bought me one. @.@

Then he told me something tht i never thought he had done.

Then just yesterday he said "You better make sure you be good and don't make us worry!"

oh well i can promise you that i will be good anyway. The only time when i was naughty was my eagerness to go to Aussie and NOW im back!

Don't worry la daddy and mummy.

Back to the story at work.

The lady who sat beside me was on leave the whole week! And so i enjoy the cube on my own which i can solve uncountable Sudoku puzzles this week. LoL

and then come to think about how one of my colleague answer the phonecalls.

This lady said " Ok hor. Wait ar.."

I was like @.@ how can u talk to ppl like tht?

It might because i'm just not used to it at all.

And then about the few ladies who sat in the cubicles next row. One was on leave and work away from home cus she needs to look after her child.

Then another one has a hoarse voice but quite pretty.

The other one has a good figure but not pretty. Likes to be praise. And she came to work this week with a freaking thick makeup. With green eyeshadows! My god! *faints*. She sits diagonally from my place and i have to see her whenever i go to the toilet or whenever she stands up! Aiyoh can't stand her nia.

Drove to work a week already. First i need to head towards City area to drop my sister @ school then pass through the Expressway to Coastals Highway to Dell which streaches as long as 20KM. Far right?

and i need to drive 30 KMs a day.

Later Entry

Just got back from Gurney Plaza and i managed to get a Polo -T. Hahahahahahhaha....
And then went to buy the dessert i fancy near Weld Quay as well as my favourite LAKSA near my house. Fuiyoh it's freaking delicious!

And now i wanna go and clean my car. I think i need to polish my car and hope my dad have the time to teach me :D
