still as obsessed

Collide

Playcount: 43 (on my PC, 600plus on my lappie)


Work?
Bored to death at times. I spend about an hour yesterday and today doing nothing. And so i went to explore Dell's database. Whoa....looking at the sizes of their share drives makes me drool (*drools*) TOTAL SIZE 819GB If only i have these, i can save whatever drama without even have to delete it or even rush to finish watching it.

Did quite a number of files today just b4 lunch but right after lunch its just BORED. Yesterday was the other way round. Didn't get much to do in the morn but was fully occupied in the afternoon.

Transportation?

PLAN 1
2nd hand CAR

PLAN 2
NEW CAR

Final plan
NEW CAR. The reason behind it. I longed to get MyVi. Unfortunately i have to wait 3 mths. So i have a friend's father who sells cars managed to find me one (tht i can get my hands on it after the procedures) without hassles but paying an extra MYR3K + 10% of the OTR price (downpayment) + 108 installments.

Then elder sister called to advice me to get a second hand car instead. So i agreed because i think if i wanna get a new car i might as well get the one I really want.
So the 2nd hand plan went on.

Dad said he will go and have a look at the 2nd hand prices for Kelisa(EZi) today.

Just when i came back dad told me the prices of a 2nd hand car.
Kelisa priced at MYR33000 produce in yr 2004 can be paid in 7 years.
Monthly payment would be MYR500plus.

What's worst is that if i get a new car.
The installment period is 9 years paying MYR500 plus a month

The verdict? A NEW CAR LAH!
BUT KELISA?? :(
WHAT TO DO! THAT STUPID MYVI is just taking so much time and an extra MYR3K tht i can buy a flight ticket to SYDNEY!

That's the story! So i shall say i followed my dad.. went merry go around the car market from new to old then to old and now back to NEW.
i dun care liau laa....sick with this CAR STORY!

If only the transportation is good then most of us wont have such problem! Who is there for us to blame?

Faham fahamlah ya

Welcome Luncheon

The team tht i joined in Dell went for lunch at at Restaurant called Goh Teo Kee (apparently there are a lot of branches all over Penang) in Sg Nibong.

There were a total of 11 of us plus 3 managers or actually 4. Not sure of how many actually.
What i know is that im the FRESHESH in the team and the NEWEST and BLUREST.

Anyway...i had a very "fung foo" lunch. The manager is super rich i think. The one who pay was Irene a manager of my manager.

What we had?

1. Fried Oyster with Ginger and Scallion
2. Teochew Tofu Stewed Green Leek
3. Atlantic Cod Fish with Superior Soya Sauce
4. Thai Creamy King Prawns
5. Broccoli with Steamed Australian Scallops
6. Claypot Stewed with Seafood Treasure ( Sea cucumber, fish maw, ABALONE)
7. House Herbal Chicken

Dessert
Snow Jelly with Red Dates and Ginko Nuts

@.@ whoa...damn full from ytd's lunch

Eh peeps hope u guys will find a workplace like this..Get to eat and "pou pou" ha..
Cos ladies "em pou hou yi lou"

hahahahahahahah..

oh eh 6/7 next time we go and have lunch like this together gether la yeah. :D

Lion roars II ( to be continued)

I'm still waiting for my friend to send me the pics we took in S'pore.

And i have no idea why she's taking so long.

Never reply on MSN. Din see online today pulak.

Aiyer a few days more la...I'm working on it.

Well i'm coming back to talk about my first day at work!

Later Entry

1st day at work

Went to work ytd, of course wearing kinda smart. A 3 qtr shirt plus a black slack.

Reached Dell employee's entrance at 8.15am

Manager's not around and i do not know where my dept is.

So i sat on one of the chairs outside the clinic and waited for the manager.

After a few mins, saw SH's sister who also works in Dell. She asked if i want her to bring me upstairs. Of course laa...otherwise i look like an idiot with the Dell Orange Sticker (i have two now, gonna be having a collection until i got my badge)

hmm...then i reached the dept with 2 ladies ( who are my colleagues now) discussing something that i think i dun understand. Then i was told that the manager was caught in the traffic (and may i warn u from my experiene this morning, traffic starts to be congested from Bayan Bay up till the 4th Phase of the F.I.Z)

So i sat there waiting waiting to know what to do. Spend the morning looking at how to do things like a price book.( i dont know how to explain)

Then went to the toilet and bump into my high sch friend SM who now works in the Sales Dept. Then during lunch bumped into another girl called LJ. Then went to the Bakery and bump into another girl who i dun rmb what her name was. Then saw a few other ppl who was from Inti College.

So now u know HOW SMALL DELL IS or actually HOW SMALL CAN PENANG BE!

The conclusion from the 1st day of work is SIEN and SLEEPY ( due to the lack of sleep from the trip)

2nd day at work

Went out a little late this morn because i OVERSLEPT. I can't help it laahh. Supposed to wake up at 7 , oh well ended sleeping for another 20mins.

And like i told u the jam starts from Bayan Bay (unlike ytd only after Crystal Point)

The best time i think to go out is 7.45am. I can still afford to be late now cus i have my scooter to slip in every corner of the road. Later on im gonna join the queue.

Today is slightly more interesting cus i have at least a little bit more things to do.

I'm going to get my badge done tomorrow.
Also my manager ordered a lappie for me. ( she said PC, i hope it's a lappie)
Going to get an email address created.
Also i need to learn how to use Microsoft Outlook
err let me think i think ....tht's all kua

The discussion about getting a four wheel instead of the current 2 wheels that i can only let it speed up till 60km/hr (not more than tht) went a little confused

A second hand? or A new Car?

A second hand Kelisa? or A new MyVi? or the oversupplied cars selling at discount prices?

MyVi is not cheap eh. And according to my dad i have to wait for 3 mths to get my hands on the car. Chisin...by the time my contract's gonna end laa. What is more ridiculous is tht 3 mths is only when u know people otherwise wait 1 YEAR!

The oversupplied of Kancils and Proton Saga now offers at a discount (minus MYR 2000) and u can get ur hands on it very soon. No wait. No hassles.

Aiyoh.........now i know why on average 400 new cars went registered in Penang. 400 a day OK?

1 day = 400
1 wk = 2800
1 mth = 12000!!!???
1 year = 145600!!!!

Rmb it's Penang only. What about countrywide?

I think i will most probably just get a second hand car.....looking at my current condition. Money no enough. Saving money to Sydney leh?

Ohh there's another thing tht i wanna highlight.

The caterer in Dell is serving good food economically.
My lunch costs me MYR 2 only yesterday
Today's was slightly more expensive @ MYR3.60 cus i ordered a drink plus a few fish balls.
Aiyooo....freaking cheap.

On top of tht cheap meal, their own employees ( permanent ones) get another 5 to 10 percent discount on their food.

whoa ....MYR2 => MYR 1.80

Cheap rite? I think can tapau for dinner for those who' doesn't cook dinner.

Lion roars..

The Interview this morning

Last night i went to in to F.I.Z Area trying to look for Dell after my interview in Agilent and i got LOST

And i pusing balik. If only we have this option in Life huh?

Okie...so i reached Dell and register to go into the building.

Haha .....i think for most of u wouldn't imagine how big Dell is or actually how much employees they have. Ridiculous man...

Imagine a hall like the Great Hall or High school hall where we have our final exams and all and there are sections and depts in within that hall itself. And please be aware that not only there are 1 hall but there are so so many halls. Fuiyoh...scary lorr.My gosh!

The lady who interviewd me was so nice. The only few questions that she asked is Do you know to use Excel? This job requires you to work extended hours, do you feel comfortable with it?

That's all.....Hmm....lesser that what i expected. Thought i would be bombarded with funny and hard questions.

And she made a comment " You are REALLY REALLY FRESH"

Huh? Cus i told her i just got back from Sydney a month ago.

"Freshly baked from the Sydney Uni OVEN!" LOL

I just got back from Prangin Mall. Rmb i told you about elder sis is geting a PC for her sons. yeh...done that and went for lunch at McNair St.

And the lady for Jobstreet Called.
try to guess what she asked.

CAN U START WORKING ON MONDAY?

eRR...actually i dun think so cus i will be back to Penang only on Monday.

I got the position as Pricing Analyst in Dell

So i'm having a huge problem.

Wait for Agilent's offer? Hold DELL? Or what?

argghhhhhh...

arggh.......i can feel it now. The feeling of waking up early everyday and coming back late after work and not having the time to watch my favourite dramas and maybe chat on msn.

Came back from the interview @ Agilent late evening and now i am not as usual sleeping as i have a surprise interview(cus i received a call ytd afternoon) to attend later at 10.

and i'm FREAKING SLEEPY! (still looking at my bed :P)

while waiting for the 10 mins to pass....as usual im 8-ting on msn.

Hahahhahahahahahahahahahaahh.....*blek blek*

Should I or should i get excited over the trip to S'pore?
Come to think of being able to meet up with S,W,T and M

Absence makes you heart grows fonder huh?

It is true to a certain extent.

Well i as usual is waiting for SC to come and pick me up for The Pink Panther at Gurney Plaza. I heard from a lot of ppl said that it is good. Will give u my rating later.

Also to go to the money changer to change some Yusof Ishak's 50 dollar note.

Today im kinda busy cus after the movie i'm going to Bayan Lepas where the free industrial zones are for an interview. So wish me luck yeh!

Tomorrow i will have to acompany my sister to Prangin Mall as she's planning to get a desktop for her sons. Hope to get a good bargain. And then i think i shall start packing for the trip tomorrow when i got back from the desktop price surveying.

Oh well...i hope i will have a wonderful time in S'pore. and i have to go now cus i need to get ready ...

~ta da!

3rd destination

Late afternoon yesterday i received a call from Jobstreet regarding the current vacancies in Dell Bayan Lepas and soon i hope im going for an interview.

At least now i think i should grab a temporary job while i look for the one i want. Well what ever it is im putting those in Penang aside until i came back from Singapore.

I got a little emo-ed recently i think. Been having too much thoughts.

Well here we are in the month of MARCH but i don't feel any much different. The long awaiting month of the year.

It's MARCH! and i'm still unemployed and as BROKE. Had the same thoughts still.
Sometimes i wonder if i make the decision to do something not just in the best interest of myself but something that may turn silly when 3 years down the road when i look back i think it is.

Even if i did make it are there any difference? Life, this is Life my gosh!

I'm so so LOST and CONFUSED. I hope to obtain an ANSWER soon..

about the topic of the post.

I went to watch the Sneak Preview of FINAL DESTINATION 3 with a friend who got 2 free tickets from the local newspaper press.

a few yesterday and today

My friend told me that there is this Career Fair in USM from yesterday to tomorrow. And so both of us went into USM aimlessly. Asked the traffic officer how to get to i think Dewan Utama Pelajar. Well we should have used the Jln Yeap Chor Yee entrance as it is actually directly opposite Ivory's newly built desasiswa( what they called hostel in USM) and apartments.

Anyway and so we went into the hall called DPA and DPB (DP stands for dewan peperiksaan)
There were quite a number of companies like Intel,Agilent,Motorola,Robert Bosch, BNM,Lion Team Advisors, EAL Logistics, SBB Mutual,NCS i think and etc.

To those who's looking for a job try using this

Jobstreet
Jobs and More (newly established last December)
JobsDb
CareerWise
Adecco
Kelly Services

I went for an interview yesterday with Bank Negara for the position of Senior Executive
I was told that all fresh grads starts with that position. Sounds very executive huh? coupled with the word senior sounds very Pro. heheeh...

And then the lady from Jobstreet told us if we are interested with working as part timers for Dell on Sat and Sundays for the customer services dealing with those from Aust and NZ.
Also she told us about the hiring manager from Del who is coming over today.

And so today we went again to the Dewan. Went for an interview with Agilent Technologies in some job titles that im not very sure of. Waited for Dell managers until 3 and was told that they would not come and since we have submitted our resume to the lady who has gone home then we I shall send her an email teling her to forward them to the hiring managers of Dell.

Oh Uh... To be frank most employers are looking for engineers. So those who were there wasnt really my type. How long more i have to wait huh? HSBC?OCBC?UOB? Any replies?

Making up my mind soon after i talk to my friend as im going to Singapore next weekend.

Wish me Luck eh.

as always

Trip to KL Updates (overdued, i know)

I took a bus to the CITY on Monday 2.30pm that took 5 hours to reach. Freaking long journey. Cousin came to fetch me from the dangerous and "chap" place called Puduraya.

Then we headed toward the place she stays. And while we were lining up on the road that seems to be like bottlenecks towards PJ my cousin told me she stays in this place called Taman Desa. A place that recently i have always been highlighted about.

Then we went to this Fat Rock Cafe on Jalan Desa for dinner and bump into my friend's sister. Yeah and i was shocked to see her there because she is supposed to be in Holland. And then i text-ed my friend and she told me that her sister is still around because the person who was supposed to be handling the working permit and all did not do his job. So...tht explains.

Then we headed home and reached at 10.20pm. My gosh this is so late. I spend a little time resting and bathing and then im back to the bed. I could not imagine how much CITY people spending more time on the road than at home. I don't think i can take it...but i have to bear with it if i'm destined to get a job in KL.

And then waking up early at 6.45am and headed towards some place nearby to get our breakfast. Then again we lined towards KL. We left Taman Desa at 7.20am and reached KLCC at 8.30am. (fuiyoh!)

My interview was scheduled at 10.45am and so i spend my morning at Coffee Bean KLCC. Came across a magazine called JUICE which is FOC. I willl talk about the magazine in a different post.
Then i headed off the Jalan Yap Kwan Seng (sounds familiar? last year i went to place too but to the Aussie Embassy). There a lot of people waiting and the candidates are all sitting down filling up the application forms just like those we saw in TV. Looks dramatic to me that morning.

The interview

There are 6 of us in a group interview. The questions asked was:-

1) Tell us about urself and what u do.
2) What do you see urself 12 months from now?
3) YOu have looked into our website dont you? So what do you know about our Company?
4) How much do you expect to earn? We will go in detail for every candidate but i can tell u we pay from approx. MYR2500 to MYR5000.

After asking the questions the manager went on to talk about the company. And i was happy to find out something.

Out of the approx 23mn populations in Malaysia out of the 70% are people aging 30 years of age and below. Wow....and yet another thing is that only 0.5mn people are using the Streamyx Broadband Service by TMNET.( i quoted from him)
The interview lasts for an hour. The manager asked if we could go in for another round of interview from Wed to Friday. I chose the closest of course on Wednesday. That means i had to stay for another day.

After the Interview

After the interview i went to KLCC for lunch. Then i went to shop for formal shirts @ ISETAN. Found one. Then when i was on the way to Cold Storage to get some water supplies i heard someone called my name. Who do you think?

Vicky and Calvin lorr...Adui...small la KL. And a piece of dialogue that i wish to higlight.

Vicky : Where do you stay?
Me : Taman Desa
Vicky: Oh..Kim Teck's house?
Me: Nola ish...My cousin's ( only Kt stays there meh)

After talking for a while

Vicky: Eh don't get lost you know
Me: I know la...i wont
Vicky: It's way much bigger here than Penang u know. (apala!)

Looking at me having nothing much to do while i have to wait for cousin to finish work at 6.30 i decided to watch a movie. Fearless i watched. Eh people it's a nice movie indeed. Please watch it as it is highly recommended.

After watching the movie the time was 4.30pm. I went to Kinokuniya and browse through some books hoping to get a book to kill my boredom. Got myself a CLEO magazine and the last JUICE magazine at the check out counter. Then i met up with Tim Nam.

WE went for a drink and we talked about all sorts of things. One thing tht i wish to highlight.

Tim: U stay in bungalow in Penang?
Me: Noler...i'm not that rich. I stay in an Apartment only.( also a lousy one. Hoping to move to somewhere better soon)
Tim: More expensice than KL meh?
Me:Houses in Penang is not cheap. Do you know Gurney Drive?
Tim: yeah...
Me: Those condos facing the Sea sold at MYR 1 million 5 years ago.
Tim: @.@
Me: and the new one coming up near the Penang Bridge called The View according to recent critics by the Newspaper as the clone of the Petronas Twin Towers in KL.
Tim: yeah i saw in the newspapers.
Me: It's selling at MYR2.5mn for a unit.
Tim: oh...Penang got so maju meh?
Me: Huh what....another CITY-sider. What do you mean?

KEk si!

Cousin came at about 7pm and pick-ed me up from KLCC. Then headed to DPP Foodcourt at Taman Desa. Then we reached home at 9.30!!! Alamak...i think im not used to it only.
That night we slept at 10plus. Hahaha no life according to my cousin.

Day 2

Woke up at 6 plus on that morn too. Went to get breakfast at the same place. This time i bought the CheeCheongFun that comes with Yong Tau Foo. Cousin dropped me at KLCC and i headed towards the Office again. Went up for a video presentation and then a guy called Brian brief us about wht we gonna do. Apparently, we have to follow them to somewhere( somewhere that a Penangite like me who dont really know the location in KL is). And then i decided not to follow them. I think the job is not for me. Then i cabut-ed to KLCC


Bought some stuff and then took the Putra LRT to PAsar Seni then to the dangerous place again. Bought a 10.30 ticket at 10.30. Rushed down to the terminal to catch the bus. The bus left at 10.45


The driver sped and in 4 hours time i reached the bus terminal in Sg Dua. Mom came to fetch me at 2.50pm. So happy to reach home at 3.05pm. A 15mins ride. Came home and did some laundry. So much to wash aiyer...

Life's Complicated huh!

How can life be complicated?

When u seek for it, for some reasons tht u might not know u could not get it

When u do not seek, it will come to you

What if u did not even have the initiation to seek at all? Will they even come to you one fine day or it's the matter for you to find out?

It applies the same way on certain things..

When u wait for something to happen it may not happen.

When u do not foresee something to happen it happens when u least expect it.

When u cherish so much of something and on the other hand u neglect something without even realising it.

When u were spending all your time on one thing that the time used can be spend on other things

Why is it like that? Is it just because at one time we can only commit ourself in ONE thing.

That's why in whatever we do we have to think of it up and down left and right; screen it thoroughly before making a final decision.

We make decisions everyday like it be huge or small ones.

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Sometimes i always wonder.....should i keep waiting or should i be doing something else. Something else more worthy than just keep waiting. Waiting for it to happen. So much so that whatever my advices are to my friends are the most typical thing called TIME.

what time flies and time tells shit! I know it's true but to what extent. To what extent?

I'm sick of all these! How long more? How much time needed? There are times when i feel so frustrated that it did cross my mind before to pick up the phone and dial the numbers and confront them! Oh well i think i should be smacking myself cos i dun have enough courage to do so.

The lion is getting fiercer day by day and nyek non stop. Dont forget => Roars everyday

Song for today
The Reason by Hoobastank

I realise that it feels good to have an awesome speaker where you could blast it out loud and release all the stress in you. I'm doing it now!

to the guys in SUV

I found this and i think it's true over something u guys were worried of.

不要太努力去找，最好的東西是在你最預計不到的時候出現。

OK? I'm sure it will come to you one day. Kick back and Relax!

too dumb!

We finally make it at 10.45 @ McD. Had a Sausage McMuffin and may i warn u beforehand The Coffee that comes with it is undrinkable! Which taught me a lesson that i have to order a tea wherever i go unless they have good coffee to offer.

I miss my Flat White so much! No shadows of it here at all! Ohhhhh...Affogato and Iced Coffee :(

We sat there i think for about 2 hours plus. This friend of mine is well known for her weirdness.
In a lot of senses that i could not describe.

Rmb when i once came out with a Poem by Frost called The Road Not Taken. Frost said there are 2 roads diverged in the woods. One taken by most of the ppl and the other one less travelled by.

I obviously took the one most travelled by which i think or most of us think is normal which is what we should follow like...Study hard, Get that piece of paper,Graduate with flying colours,Build Your Career, Climb the Corporate Ladder, Find a partner whom u will spend the rest of your life with, Have Children, Aged and Go to heaven.

She on the other hand took the one less travelled by. Basically she took the path not taken by me(in actual fact the majority of us). She stopped studying after a year in Uni. And she is now enjoying her life. She told me she found a happier herself ever since she stopped studying. She now joined an org. by someone whom she respects. Someone whom she thinks is Great and Perfect who actually Enlighthened her about Life. One who told her why the road not taken by me is a better one.

I always wonder if i did not study HSC and then The Sydney Uni Commerce Program i will never ended up having my personal history with a total of 2 years upon my total lifetime spent in Sydney. What would I turn into if i didn't even make myself to HSC.

Would i be working now?
Where?
And how much am i earning?
What would i turn into?
Am i gonna be in so much debt now?

I just realise i can't finish repaying.

I was talking to a close friend on Valentine's Day about how much debt we owe ppl around us on the way home after the movie Prime. I got to know how she got into the debt with her aunt and uncle who stays in Casino ( dun misunderstood, it's a name of a place). How much so that it's hard when her aunt doesnt have any children. How much so that her aunt wants to pay for her studies. How much so that the aunt wants her to stay with them in the jungle( i mean it literally, cus there are no water supply, no electricity, no car access and please hike).

Everyone has got their stories to tell. Whether long or short interesting or exciting. Whether we like it or not. Whether they wanna let u know or not. I once was so close to a friend that there are no gaps between us. One fine day a mere minor misunderstandings occured just because of a third party. We (3 of us) got into trouble. We stopped talking to each other for approx a year.
How much trouble in that i lose hope, give up my faith, made a tough decision to leave Penang.

If i did not make that decision i think i will be most likely ended up in Inti College M'sia or Monash KL Campus or mayb finished everything up at Disted College Penang. ...and also ended up just like now; remained unemployed not having to blog(as i learn to blog in Syd),not having a tab Sydney on my msn,not having friends like K,W,M,J,V,M,T,N,Z,L,H,Z,S(those who i could think of),not learning how to make the saltiest Kimchi,not attending my handsome lecturer's lecture,not knowing Sydney as how i know it now,not having a lifetime experience.

Which means that i have a different story to tell. How i spent my time in KL or in good old Penang, how i might i have friends like "duno who", how i would drive like a typical reckless driver @ 110 km/hour and not 40km/hour and it broke down!,how i would know how to go around KL driving, how i would know KL more in depth. There are just so much to tell. So distinct and yet memorable.

I have to admit why i left Penang. How happy i was when i was set ready to leave. Leave all these behind. How happy my life was for the past 2 years.

orh... Well i did not regret taking this path. Although i took the normal path that everyone thinks is Good. or Should I Make A Difference?

And i know i cannot just leave all these. But it's the past and should i not dig it out from where i buried it long ago. And now i think things are getting normal again. We still talk from sensitive issues to non sensitive issues. Although not as close as how we used to be but i prefer this one. Well contained. Not too close....not too much arguments.

Whatever it is...May she found a better path whether she decides to apply for a PR in Oz or come back to Penang, I wish her Best of Luck.

"things may looked tough in the outside, but it may be fragile inside"

After the meeting with my friend I bought lunch for mum and sister. I bought myself my fav Oreo McFlurry. I realise i paid the McFlurry for nothing when i reached home. I am so sad. I miss my McFlurry. :'(

challenging my patience

Good Morning! I wish to say (quite paiseh also laa) that this is the earliest i woke up ever since i got back from Sydney. The reason being I'm meeting up with my high school friend in McDonald's Green Lane at 9am. And you must be wondering why i am still here waiting waiting time to pass 9am. Because she overslept and she told me "Tak sempat!"And so i told her to tell me a time. And she hasnt reply my SMS. aikss!

Well i can take the chance to blog anyways...

Make a close guess whether which is a wrist band. Revealing the answers.

The idea came from my sister. As i was lying on the bed while she was cleaning the computer table she said "Eh....pick up ur wrist band"

I was like"Where" (I look at the floor and near the table where i always sit on lies a piece of rubber band)

I said " Hahahahahahaaaaha....Please have a look my dear! It's a rubber band!"

Her reaction was "huh? rubber band lai meh"

Makes me laughed even more! LOL

Oh no....she hasnt reply my sms! IF I KNOW I WOULD HAVE SLEPT MORE! I feel damn sleepy now.

I think i better watch Yummy Yummy the TVb serial while waiting for her. ~tada...

month of Love

Happy Valentine's Day

So what did u guys do last night?

I was at home. hahahaa....

I went out during the day with SH,SC and D.
Went for a K-session and watched a movie entitled Prime by Uma Thurman. We actually dun quite understand the movie cus there is no ending to it but it is a must watch Valentine movie.
You must me wondering why 4 girls would spend time watching a valentine movie. Well it was because the show was showing at 3 and that's the time that suits all of us best.

Always feel like going for a movie marathon alone but i am lazy. If i wanna catch the marathon i have to wake up early catch the earliest at 11 then 1 then 3 and head home for my drama on 8TV and AEC. Laziness pays off now ....like what? Lazying at home lor. Watching, eating and sleeping.

I am not that lazy afterall cus i have cleared all the trash from my cabinet and arranged my university texts on the shelf nicely now. My postcard collections is scary.Spending time collecting it but at the end of the day there are all resting in my cabinet. Hhahaha

Oh not forgetting i bump into Adelyn and Sofiah ytd at Gurney Plaza. But without the chance to have a chit chat. Then later on bump into a few other friends. Please be informed that Penang is very small. Not to say Penang sometimes even Sydney is small. Well it's a small small world after all.

So how was ur valentine's? Mine was allright cus i have never paid attn to this day cus i dun have to and usually i spend time out with friends. the queue at GSC yesterday was long long long. When i say long it's long. It strecthes to where the escalator is. Blurness of my friend.

D : hmm, i wonder why are there so many ppl today? Weekdays wor..
I : Today is Valentine's Day ma....Din you see those ppl who we see today are all in pairs?
D : Oh yeah hor....but i dun care cus i have been passing this day as it is.
I : Hahahaaha

Something to share with you.

Something a typical girl will like like a soft toy is something that i will hate. And now i am spending more time with it ever since it was brought back in a box by my younger sister. Let me show you how gigantic it is.

Everyday when i wake up from my sleep, He is there( I think it's a he lah....cus it was given by the boyfriend)
Everytime when i open the door, He's staring at me
Everytime when i wanna go to sleep, He's there and
He's occupying half of my sister's single bed!
and He's always on top me (A double deck bed)

Who knows one day it will come down to my bed and start talking me to. Aiyer...freaks me out!

What's worst is that..i am home everyday and i think i spend more time with it than my sister is unless she can carry it to scholl everyday then it's a different story.

don't know to be impressed or surprised

I went to look for PCs yesterday because my PC crashed a week ago.

Talking about the PC that i can see diagonally from my position, we bought it way back in the 1998 running on Pentium III Processor with a Clock Speed of 550Mhz runnning on Microsoft Windows 98Plus then to Windows Me with only a 20GB hard disk drive and i think 64MB of RAM. Purchased price MYR4000.

At that time it was the best PC specs in town.

My god! Now....Intel's Latest Technology: the Intel Pro Duo Centrino Technology for lappies and Intel Pentium D for Desktops.

First i intended to get a Pentium 4 processing maybe with a HT technology. Come to realise that my lappie is running on that technology and it was 2 years back.

Now PCs are running on Pentium D. On top of that, it's running with a Dual Core Technology which is way better than the HT Technology.

Impressed by the price of a PC compared to what we paid last time is way too cut throat.
MYR 4000 today i can get these:

Intel Pentium D processor that comes with 2MB Cache, EM64Bit,800 FSB
Intel D945G Express Chipset Motherboard
Pro Lan Network Interface,Graphics Accelerator,High Definition Audio
512 MB DDR2 667 RAM (up to 4GB upgrade)
80GB (SATA II)hardisk
56K V.92 PCI Modem
A Creative Sound Blaster 2.1 Subwoofer Speaker
A Samsung Flat Digital Monitor
A Samsung Optical Mouse and Crystal Keyboard
A Samsung 52X CDRW
plus 3 years warranty

costs MYR3399! (see i can even get a balance out of it)

What is more surprising is that i paid MYR3024 for a PC running on the same processor above
but with a 512 DDR2 533 RAM excluding the Keyboard and upgraded to a Samsung 52X DVDRW

It's unbelieavable.....The Technology! I don't understand why is it so cheap. I thought this might have cost me at least MYR4K and above at least!

Fuiyoh...one day the Intel Pro Duo Centrino Lappie might fall to MYR3K plus too just like the current market for Intel Centrino Mobile Tech.

By then there will be newer technologies again and again prices fall! Hmm.......3 yrs down the road i hope to afford to get a new laptop. What would be good is if im working with a good co. they might offer me a laptop! Way much better rite? But one thing bad is tht they will make sure the processer it good enough, good enough to meet our working needs. Just like a friend who works for Ernst & Young. She was given an IBM laptop running on Centrino Mobile Tech with only a 20GB hard disk. It better than nothing anyway!....Hahaha

in place but ineffective

I went out yesterday to Prima Tanjung just to pass the Tenancy Agreement to a tenant. I went all the way there to Tanjung Tokong and when i reached the 3rd floor the door was locked. From outside and it obviously means that no one is around and it was 5 to 3pm when i reached. Anyway i couldnt be bothered to drive( actully not drive but ride-updates about this later) all the way there again. So i slip it through the door.

And FYI, it was because the weather was cloudy ytd that only makes u see me out there otherwise i will be home sleeping or watching. After that i walk across the road to Island Plaza. I was surprised to see how quiet that place can be now. Most shops closed down...No more PDI, no more Padini Authentics and not even VINCCI. Even Times Bookshop closed down. But i was surprised to see Blush and Quiksilver to survive and not forgetting MNG too. Well i guess most ppl who goes to Island Plaza now are mostly MNG aimers. Bossini opened a new outlet. :O

Thought of going to Gurney Plaza for a walk or for a movie. Decided not to after that cus i think i have nothing better to there other than wasting time walking and looking. So i went home after that.

The updates of me riding on a motorbike after a year is i was on the road on Monday at 40km/hr. Went shopping at Parkson. And....what's worst was that the scooter broke down in front of this hardware shop opposite Prangin Mall. I have been riding on an electric starter bike all my life and without it i dun no how to start a motorbike. (I know I'm stupid but it's just hard to start with tht thingy called "engko" i think)Called my dad to save me from that road full of strangers. Waited for him for about 20 mins to save me. Actually mum came along. Without any difficulties my dad started the engine with the 'engko'. Nyatalah i duno how to and also no strength. Haiyer....kek si!

It wasnt that bad ytd. I was on the road for 50km/hr. And nearly got involved in a stupid accident. The stupid Wira driver!! Dun make me see u again! I can rmb ur number plate! :p

I was supposed to send 2 letters to KL b4 CNY for my dad. Only ytd i had the chance to do so. So i went to the nearest post office which is located in Jelutong. I was impressed to see a small branch like tht to have a QMS. TEKAN A: Setem and B:Pelbagai.

I pressed A and waited. After waiting for a while i realise there are a few uncles and aunties who did not wait for their number to be called and some didn't even bother to TEKAN A and walked straight to the officer and make a queue. My number was 2137 and i saw a lady holding 2136 and she was sitting on the chair waiting for the number to be called. And then came this uncle who came to press for A and B. And the QMS called for 2136. Then this uncle went straight to the Stamp Officer pretending to be called. EXCUSE ME UNCLE! Have a look at your number!!! 2140!!!Is it anyway YOUR TURN? The lady holding the number 2136 went to the officer too and the officer asked the uncle for the number.The officer realised that he was pretending to be called (or he doesnt know how to read i suppose) that he has to wait for his turn. Then came my turn. Nothing really happened but i saw the queue token numbered 2138 in the bin! WTH.....theholder of 2138 cut the queue when 2136 and 2137 is not over and officer please!!! QMS systems is supposed to make sure those who came first are served first. Otherwise why is the system in place!!!

After i left the QMS called for 2138 and this uncle holding 2140 went to the counter!!!!! OH SHIT! YES! I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES!

Excuse me! Please!! People!!! Be a little bit more civilised!It may only be me who sees this today! What about the next time? For the sake of the overall image of MALAYSIA! How to position ourself in a level playing field when a tiny winy things like that is difficult to be implemented!

let's continue

the story recontinues....

The story of the outing on Tuesday Night
D was supposed to upload the picture we took that day on Friendster. I don't have the pic to show and i bet u would know why.

Just to recall who was there.
De,SC,SH,HS,SS,YT,HS,AN,AL,AL'sB and Da
2 guys plus about 9/34 of the classes of year 2001's 5 Principles of Accounts 1(5PA1)

First we started off with saying..Hello! It has been so long ever since the last time i saw you.How have you been doing? Studying or Working? Got boyfriend or not? When are you graduating? When are u going back to Aussie? (the typical lines!)

HS further commented how SC looks now compared to 4 years ago. Guess what she said in front of us all..

HS: Sau Chi......u look very difft now. You look very accountant look. You look more professional now.

SC: (was happy cus she was smiling away)

HS: Last time u look very difft though. You look like a MONKEY!

SC: (her face changed)

The rest of us: :O???? Why?

HS: Dunno ler...she just looks like one to me.

SC: :'(

Aduii....i wonder 5 years down the road what my friend would say about how i look now? *aiks* Piggie? Better dont lah!

Then i started asking HS whether how is she doing in S'pore. Her career wise definitely. I always thought she has finished with her Bachelors at least. But she told us she hasnt and she only had a Diploma and she intend to further her studies which means that she has 3 more years to a Degree. But she's earning her own living already. Which reflects the unemployed like ME.

Then i realise how small Penang is when my friends started to talk about this guy called CK who was HS,SH and PG's ex. (or should i say how small Farquhar St and Light St is when now a friend of ours who works in SC called BN now is together with that guy called CK. What worst worth mentioning is that CK eats SOFT RICE (translated from Cantonese)A good example would be HS and PG pays for all his lodging when he went to S'pore to pay them a visit. WTH.
Of course not two at a time. I was told he was with SH before HS and PG. PG was the last victim and now my friend BN the new victim!
THIS is the man i DESPISE!

Da is De's friend who now works under a probation in Intel Technologies Bayan Lepas. He was asking De and SC which high school were all of us from.
De told him CONVENT LIGHT STREET (CLS)
WHat do you think Da said? huh?
CONVENT LAMPU JALAN

*faints*

I told him he got it wrongly anyway. If it's a direct translation it should be
CONVENT LAMPU LEBUH AND NOT JALAN

Because Light Street is Lebuh Light! (apala ish!)

Then we began the nostalgia in CLS. How 10 of us from 2Ungu ended up in our Headmistress' office back in 1998 and also how we fought for our Science project with 2 Indigo.
And they continue to argue about it that night. 2 of then HS and SH from 2 Indigo and the rest of us from 2Ungu. I was keeping quiet that time and i stopped them after a few mins. I told them whatever it is we are all from the same class of forms 4 and 5. What's the point of fighting among ourselves now! To be honest they are quite funny that night...(this would be hard to understand but needed to be describe in Hokkien)

What i heard during the argument was these
"Wa lang eh ka sui"
"Bo ah...wa lang eh ka sui"
"Wa lang started off with the papier mache ho seng eh. Lu lang copy wang eh"
"Wa lang put chin nia ceh effort on chi leh project eh lu chai bo" then another answered " Wa lang ma si!"

Then a few of us said (of course im included lah...)
" I still think ours is the best!" Hahhahahahahahaha......

Well if the argument was to continue i think the 2 Indigos will lose to us 7 Ungus(2 left earlier)

But i think i yakk-ed a lot on Tuesday night. It has been so long ...........Hope to meet them again and yakkk, yakk and yakk non stop. We left Gurney Place at 12.30 am. :P

What is there to expect?

Sunrise?

or

Sunset?

Drank myself a cup of Cinnamon Ice Blended from Coffee Bean that i think that has no cinnamon taste.

and thts the reason why I'm still awake! Good reason to stay awake over a nice cup of ice blended. But it isnt now cus it wasnt even worth drinking

So what do u think i did?
For the past few hours i have been browsing for jobs. Sites like Jobstreet, StarJobs,Kelly Services, Adecco and specific company sites.

Come to talk about the jobs that im looking for. Finance is a wide spec. and it's has never been easy to be part of it. But i wish to try.

A friend advised me to try McKinsey. Hahhaaa.....is the hat too big for me? Or should i try to wear it? Well i have been telling ppl that i wont apply to AUDITING firms.But they have so much openings that i am so tempted to apply. I can take it as a chance to see the current market as well as getting more experience on interviews. At least i hope i won't be nervous after a few.
So from now on i will apply as many as i could!

Talking about Singapore hmm i shall talk about it later today if my mood allows!

Anyways...Good Morning Sydney!

home for 14 days

What was done?

Should i or should i not do it?

Whether i like it or not....

Body - Soul = Empty

You might not get what i meant but as long as i know it is important.

Important to find something some other things in life tht will enlighten me. Right at this moment which is important. I'm still looking and i wish to explore.

Wish me luck eh?

Anyways...been sick for the past 2 days. Fully recovered this morning and i hope it will never get back.

Wanted to blog about a household joke two days ago. You dun have to ask me why i did not cus i forgot the joke.

sorry..this is because the sign of me turning 22 years soon. *blek*

gtg...will be right back later. Going to change and go for lunch. Bye...

still alive

I woke up this morning to find myself still alive.

It was terrible last night. Vomitted my dinner (i mean it literally) at 12 midnight. In the end i went to sleep with my empty stomach.

This is what i hated! Stomach pain!!! And it always happen here! 2 yrs in Sydney i havent had stomach pain before!!!WTH! I don't get it!

why is it now?

I hope u do understand this.

Why now?

a little pesimistic will do just right

Last night the dinner was cancelled because apparently elder sis said the restaurant doesnt have anything good to offer. So it was called off in the afternoon and we headed for lunch and then to Gurney Plaza. I wanted to get some shirt and suit from G2o00. Well...........almost everything was on sale and i could not find the size that i could fit because i think probably i need to lose some weights in order to fit into it! There were so much nice suits to offer but i just couldn't fit in! I guess i need to find other sources of nice suits like Padini, Seed(maybe cus it might shrink),Esprit(expensive?) and maybe some other brands that i could not name it here or should I tailor made them?We went to FOS to look for Polo Tees and i was lucky to get myself 3 shirts and a Polo T.

Today I went to T's house for angpow and later on to Gurney Plaza again.Y and D were there too. Had lunch @ Kim Gary and then went to G2000 again. This time looking but not buying.

Bump myself into this Hotlink Corner where they were selling the prepaid sim packs. I found out that they still sell 012 sim packs!!!!!I want it badly! I don't understand why but i just like 012. Well i prefer it over 017! A RM8.80 sim pack vs. a RM20 sim pack. Which one would u get? To get one that u always wished for or the one that u dun like? What i could say? My mom said 017 sounds nice what! Why do you need to change? Nothing wrong with it also! But dad remained silent. That would be a good response from my dad! Ignorance is Bliss? or No eye see?

My mobile was on low battery the whole day. Nobody could reach me today and i really hope nothing important ever persisted this afternoon. And one thing tht i realise is that i can actually send the pictures captured on my mobile to my email via GPRS. How dump am I last year!!! Super duper stupiak!! Should have asked my friend who's using the same phone!!Well i will activate it tomorrow if i have the time.

Come to think about it i have a lot to do but i'm just lazy to do it. For reasons like the HOT weather and on top of that of not having a CAR to go around sightseeing!! If i don't do these "sap sap sui" things now like activating GPRS, do some shopping and meet up with high school mates i guess i wouldn't have the time to when i secure a job. After walking for about an hour i realise i havent bought myself a formal shoe and belt. Bear in mind a pair of suit and pants too. I might go get it tomorrow my own.

Came home around 6 plus. Then went out with parents for dinner after fetching the 小姐 from Prangin Mall. FYI in this household we have 大小姐 and 小小姐 and i'm the driver to be! In other words i am the Ah Sam!aiks.....

Received a message from Nic about him coming to Penang for a visit and also to pass me some stuff or should i say exhanging stuffs! Went to 美珍香 after dinner to get some Krispy Frostee for N and C. I was lucky cus it was open. Otherwise i need to sweat myself there tomorrow at Belissa Row which is always jammed with reckless Penang drivers.

Nic rmb to tell me what do u think about the motorists in Penang and never forget THE FOOD!!

Welcome to the YEAR OF

新年快乐.恭喜發財.

One week has passed! With a blink of an eye it's a week ever since i landed on the Malaysian land and here we are celebrating the Lunar New Year.

Well what i have been doing at home these few days was just at home except that on Friday i went to do some grocery shopping in Tesco. It was a quick one though cus mom has done a lot of shopping already and what we did there was just buying some "ling si" :P

Reunion dinner this year was only 4 of us because sister went to her in laws for reunion. On top of that, the reason why she isnt here is because dad decided to book a table for dinner which is scheduled for tomorrow 7pm. So i guess that would be our reunion dinner! Hahaa.....

A friend called last night and we were on the phone for an hour. Elder sister later called and asked what's with the phone engaged for almost an hour. kekekeheheekeke....sorry lah was talking to a friend!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!

Well last night we had our usual 29th night steamboat dinner and this morning we had "mee sua" which according to mom tht has some special meaning that i am not very sure about. I guess it's about living longer i think? "chang ming"? Something about that!

Upcoming plans would be going to auntie's place tonight and also to worship some god at aunt's place i think. And tomorrow would be to the dinner and Wednesday i'm gonna go out! Yay...finally my friends are back and i can get my arse off my chair in front of this lappie and also to collect ang pows from their parents. :D

Before i came back i was talking to younger sis on msn and she mentioned of dad planning to Balik Kampung. But ever since i'm back dad did not mention anything about baliking. So i guess this time we will be staying home for CNY which can be good and bad. Not angpows cus we arent going back. BUT i can escape from bombarded with questions if we arent going back! Which i think is better.

Well i think after that i would need to do some shopping like getting a few formal clothes and a suitable walking shoes preparing for my job later on. To keep those reading updated i havent attend any interview yet and hope to after CNY.

an important email

Right after i finished blogging for the previous post, i went to check my Hotmail that i will check once in a blue moon. A friend sent me an email. All the way from UK and it wasnt for multiple recipients. Thanks Alvin. Thanks for still remembering me as a friend. I'm very happy to have a friend like you!
ta...da.......need to reply his email.

Wanted to blog last night. And what causes me not to is the freaking Streamyx Connection!!!
The stupid LAn green light has been blinking all night long and you know why am i not online last night! Well i was quite sleepy at 11. Im not sure if im still following the Sydney time or Penang time. Or did i just get lazy?
I woke up this morning at 10 you know?Or might it be just the weather? FYI....i have been staying in since the last time i went out with my family last Sunday.

And i got scolded yesterday ler...from the lion in my house lah...The damn fierce one! I think i know why am i so fierce pulak.....Inherited from her!aiks.....

Feels bored to be home to watch drama. That doesnt show any difference to when i was in Sydney except that now i have plenty of local delicacies to enjoy and also astro! But the time slots i'm left with is 5 to 6 and 7 to 8 which both are drama series from S'pore. Hmmm i think i just couldnt stop watching Media Corp's production especially when it's on air on almost every channel like TV3, 8TV and AEC during that time slots. Well watching them now comparing to when i watched it 2 years ago was totally different. A very different perspective now.

Sigh...............i need a car! I wanna go out for sightseeing! Come to talk about it. My friend whom we were suppose to be spending a holiday together got a job!!!!!! I don't know if i should consider this a good news or bad news. My holiday plan is screwed! And now i don't know what to do. I want to go somewhere! Anywhere will do at least to release all the stress in me before i'm into another stress. The working life awaits for me.hmmmph!!!I guess i should let time tell ler....See what she says when she got back next week.

And i am talking to friend. She got a job with PwC Penang. She said "everyday work til damn late lo
pls la not nice wan".
See see what she said!aiks.......hey mate work hard la! what to do.....

And i was talking to HK online just now. She told me about the outing later at 4 pm which i have no idea at all cus SC told me it is yet to be confirmed. Hmm......i wonder if it is still on.

Thinking about the issue of getting a car up and down left and right. I think i should get one real soon. Maybe after CNY. After everything settles down and also my job applications!! *fingers crossed*

adjusting

I woke up this morning with a swollen left eye which for some reasons that i don't know. I went back to sleep and woke at 10. Waited for mum for my Prawn Noodles and i have been doing nothing today.

A friend called.Pretty much the same thing we always talked about and took an afternoon nap after that. I guess my life now until when CNY is over would be Eat,Sleep and Eat and Watch! :P

I was talking to a friend on MSN and u would want to know what he said to me.
He asked how am I adjusting. I told him im still feeling sleepy in ungodly hours of GMT0800. Then he asked me to adjust my body soon so that i can be part of the Malaysian Wall again.

*faints*

Aiks!Tsk tsk........It never ends huh? With the wall stories.

First thing first

I woke up at 10 plus. I sat on my dad's rocking chair that could not rock anymore for a few minutes before the phone rang. And while it was ringing i told my mum and younger sister that there will be people calling me yeah! And then my sister went to pick up the phone and it was for me!!Funny huh? Who called? C,N,W and K from Sydney while having their lunch at Kura. Miss me while having a meal ar??Don't lah! Hahhaah......Joking!

After that i went to bathe cus according to mum we are gonna go across the Penang bridge for a hairdo. Ate Hokkien Char for brunch and then Jayne's boyfriend called. Supposingly for him to come over to my place to take her stuff and well since im going over i decided to meet him at Lengkok Tenggiri where i always go for a hairdo with parents. Then decided also to go to C's house to take half of my room in Sydney back. Told him at 3 or 4 but mom wants to go and do some shopping at Fajar. Drop by at around 1 to take all my belongings.(Sorry C , told u later but went earlier. :D)

Then went for a hairdo and meet up with Jayne's boyfriend. Hmmmph......i cut my hair and yeah i dont look nice! aiks.......curls and curls that looks damn ugly!Duno what im gonna do with it now!

Havent got my simpack cus mom said the numbers are not nice! So we went to Super Tanker with the purpose of getting a simpack and also for tea. Then i managed to get this nice number hahahah.......which is similar to my plate number.

We then went to fetch younger sister from her tuition classes and to the Fort Cornwallis for our favourite Rojak! While we were on the way to "Soon Lai" for dinner we passed through Presgrave St Ghaut where my aunt used to live in. It is all flat now! Nothing could be seen. The phase II Jelutong Expressway looks like it's gonna be built soon. So soon that my aunt has moved for about 2 to 3 months and they have started the works on the land. Too soon when it's too soon.

During dinner i saw this handsome neighbour of mine whom i have not seen for 2 years. Still as fair and as handsome as before. :P hhahahahahahahah....

journey home....

Went to the Airport around 12.30pm. Managed to Check-In before 1 o'clock with 32.5 KG of baggage which the excess 250g of Coffee that i took it out to make it 32KG as one item should not exceed 32 KG.That was because i think i did not show her that i have my hand luggage that weighs up to 10 KG at least. C and W were waiting by the side with my hand luggage :P while K were with me at the Check In Counter.

We went to the foodcourt after that and they took their lunch. K bought his favourite Macadamia cookie that he claimed he ate it raw before.....aiyer!. Well it was too sweet for me hehehehe but i like macadamias! Thanks for the cookie K! I didn't eat anything cus i don't feel like eating and i know i'm gonna be fed with a lot of food on board. Things get quite e-mo-ed at that moment when i wanna leave. Sigh......I don't know why. Just to remind u ppl there that if u are going back for good dun get someone close to send u off otherwise it would be ended up just like how it was yesterday.

I went into the passenger area and passed through the customs smoothly and then in to TRS office. It wasnt as lenient as what i was told. I guess it was just the durability and luxuriousity(if it exists) of the goods that im helping a friend to bring home. Then i went to the Gate 51. It was so near as oppose to Gate 63 where the last time i departed that i had to run. This time i was wasting my time sitting down sending sms and making calls. ThenK reminded me to get a copy of the Sudoku and so i went straight to the toilet and then i saw the Swatch selling at duty free prices!That's an opportunity! A limited Edition Swatch selling at $39.95. I bought it without any thoughts hahahahaha

Then i walked around the place and then back to the waiting area and just 15mins before boarding i realise i havent got the Sudoku! Aiks.........too into the Swatch i guess! I boarded the place at around 3.30pm. My flight was 3.40pm and to my understanding it should take off at 3.40pm too. But the Boeing was on a merry go around on the Kingsford Smith Airport for an hour. YES 1 HOUR! which it then finally took off at around 4.25.It was congested with Planes at that time. There were 3 planes behind us that was waiting to take off and some of those that took off before us that i do not know how many. At that moment what i'm afraid of is not being able to catch MH1168 to Penang. Bye bye Sydney again. I could see the birds view from my seat.Very nice indeed!

I was served with a special meal that i have requested (Salmon luckily) which i was relieved because the rest were served some noodles that doesnt look appetizing. Then i watch the Corpe's Bride and Just like Heaven. Although the entertainment package is interactive i still could not pause or rewind the movie. Or is it because i don't have any idea how to use or is it because it isnt user friendly!

Surprisingly the Captain make it on the KLIA at 8.50pm local time. Too much time spare during the transiting, so i decided to go online. The connection was damn slow which i then decided to go offline and went to Terminal A. MH1168 took off punctually and landed on the Penang Int'l Airport at 11.10pm too. Hahaha....AIRBUS 330 is different to BOEING. More Spacious and brighter! 8 hours in Boeing kills me. THe lady in front of me likes to put down her seat. As usual people like me who has long legs sat for 8 hours like Hell! Couldnt make much movement at all! I waited for quite long for my luggage at the Carousel. I was so scared that my luggage would be lost!Too much worries eh?

I went through the Penang customs smoothly too. No questions asked. Hand Luggage and Laptop Bag not scanned. 3 bottles of Wine just got through! If i would know i should buy more right!! aiks!!Like the tempting Cherries!
I walked out to the waiting area trying to look for my mum and dad. They werent there! Then i walked out from the waiting area. I saw my elder sis. Guess what happened to mum and dad. They were at home! Why ar? Dad's car broke down! And tht's why sis was there to fetch me with her mini Kelisa which the passenger seat that can only load my 32 KG baggage and not even anyone else. Hahhahahahahaha aduiii! Mom said luckily dad wasnt there otherwise he has to be on the roof!

Wanted to go to Super Tanker to get a SimPack but it was closed. It was 11.30pm and it was closed! Isn't it too early to close huh? But according to mum earlier closing is better otherwise something may happen. That's right too. Had a little chit chat with sister on the way home. Also to look around if there are any changes to the Pearl of the Orient. Want to say no changes i could not. So much has changed! A few aunts has moved and some ppl had passed away. So much pat kua news to catch up with. A cousin worked in KL and some other things that happened too.

Sister commented on my luggage "Why is it so huge?...Aiyoh!! But this bag is good as u can load a lot of things and it was very cheap. It cost me 20 pounds only!"
....Oshh....That's cheap!!

Mom and dad freaked out when they saw my luggage! Hahahahha.........

Slept quite late last night. I guess it was around 5am Sydney time.

I havent adjusted my clock lah!

Final one................

I woke up at 7 and It's now 8.39 am. I slept for about 2 hours huh? Spend some time doing some last minute packing to the house. Yeah why the house? The "sa po lang changs" lahh.

It's 30 now and i'm yet to get the coffee powder from Campos.

Mr Chin's cooking breakfast for me later at 10. Hahahahaa......Final breakfast in Syd huh.
I'm leaving Suv at 12 plus.

Bye bye Sydney and Bye Bye Sydney Uni and SUV.

Although there are so many ups and downs here but this phase of life would be my most memorable one. Thanks guys! You made my life more significant!!! My next phase in life is starting soon. In fact it would start right when i step on the Penang Int'l Airport tonight! Wish me luck hehehe.

To be honest im very very sad to leave but Life just goes on. I wasn't even excited to go home at all!I could feel tears rolling down on my cheek now. Anyway!!! Yeah....hopefully i will have the chance again. And hope all this wonderful things may happen again. Sydney i will be back!!!!!!!! Time will Tell.....................Let's hope for the Best together yeah!

To the 6/7. Take Care and Keep In Touch!

irrational

Woke up early in the morning at 9 and went to the city with B and C to get some nougats for home. Boxes of cherries are sold for $25 which i was very very tempted to buy. It was 29 and i am still loading. I don't want the history to repeat itself.

Anyway ...later on send off B and C who has left at 11.10am for a 3.40pm flight. He called while i was having lunch with K at 12.02pm. That's early. *winks*

Packing has never been easy and yeah becareful cus things that dun seem heavy can be heavy now. Even a light mere 250g affects u very much!

Went to the Campos for a coffee with T,J,K,F and C.

Went for dinner at some Japanese "tai phai thong" lookalike at Wynward with N, F and C. We were there from 7 to 10. 3 hours of dinner + chit chats! Muahahahahah! That's a lot to talk about huh? Time just passed as it is.......

Then i suggested of going to the Passion Flower for my favourite Lychee and Rose Petal Ice Cream. Woww.........!! I'm gonna come and slurp it next June hopefully! After that while when we were on the way back to Hordern Tower we saw a dog who jumped into the water @ Darling Harbour. Make a guess who was the hero who went and save the Dog?

What is bad today despite the memorable Dog story and the Passion Flower story is i lost my U-Card. Actually not mine but my housemates. Well i did some irrational kinda thing which i've regretted doing. At times i think when i am in panic i will fall in irrationality. Why in the world? Well.........not much needed to say about the irrational action taken against the lost U-Card. Sorry Z...i'm very very sorry about that!

We have planned beforehand to play a monopoly game tonight hence it went ahead and we drank the Mango Wine from N as well as my Jacob's Creek's Sparkling Rose and it's bloody bitter!! Aiks....heard it is nice and yeah got to taste myself that it actually sucks!

I guess we should better declare the Monopoly of the Week.

That goes to -----------> Mr Chin with the total amount of $5889

Well...obviously i bankcrupted again BUT I wasnt the first one to and surprisingly Nic was the first to.....That's strange! I was the last to Bankcrupt. Hehhehehehehehe!!! Some improvement heh? We ended the game at about 2 plus and we went on to chat again! Hahahaaa please ask the 3 guys what we talked about while having "Heong Pneah" as our snack. I hang around for a while before i left at quarter to 5.

Catching some sleep!! Ta...da!

the story continues...

first it was the colour of kickapoo and mountain dew.

Now...the story of the pot.

While he was washing the pot, he said "Oh...soon this pot is going to meet the brother"

B4 that someone said his hands were wet. So he need a spoon to scoop the meat floss.
Then he said, " The spoon is wet too"

I was like @_@. Lame duh..... Guess who is it?

LOL!

interviews

These few days wasn't very bad. It was quite encouraging. Encouragement to be in my Island! Because i have a few interview to attend. Come to talk about it just let me tell u what are the jobs that i manage to be shortlisted to this extent.

1. Credit Analyst for Dell (Penang)
2. Executive Development Program- Trainee Manager for Regal Group of Companies (Penang)
3. Risk Management Trainee Position for AIA (Manara AIA, Kuala Lumpur)

Firstly.....a lady; SuYin called on Monday (to those of you from CLS, not Teo SuYin from our class) but the Hiring Manager for Dell called from Penang. Honestly i am not very interested with it and she could feel that i'm not very keen in that position too...but she was very nice to. She told me to keep my options open and who knows maybe 3 months down the road she might still have the vacancy and i can always call her back. How fantastic yeah? BTW she was from our Uni...[our senior!] hehe; and on top of that she was from IICP, [my senior!] *winks*

Secondly...i received an email on Wednesday from Regal arranging for an interview today yes TODAY! 13th which i obviously could not make it. So they were very kind and she said i can join the first interview on the 24th Jan at 10.00 am @ the MWE Plaza.

Thirdly, i just received an email from Natalie the hiring mgr i guess, for an interview on the 21st January in KL at 10am. I guess i would be on the way to the Kingsford Smith airport! I would be expected to complete an "Aptitude Test"(psychographic) in 30 mins time. I've just send her an email requesting to arrange for another interview. I really really hope i could attend another interview session because this is what i really am interested with; the Risk Management Position!!!It sounds so interesting....MuaHahahahaaaa!

*pray for me laaa*

*crossing her fingers*

On a random note:

Last week and previous week's Monopolist goes to : Chon Yu (Yuti)

This week's.....who do u think? : Nicholas (Yipi)

yeahla....i bankcrupted! Most of the time usually the first.... but today it wasnt me :P

what would be your answer?

Alllright ......to all ladies. One day if u were to be addressed this qustion by your boyfriend. What would your answer to this question be?

為身麼你們女生有這麼多莫名其妙的想法?

Seriously, I would not know how to answer this question! Would you?

Girls can be very 莫名其妙 at times. But....there's nothing that we can do about it. aiks.....

game and play

The Monopoly of the day goes to -----------------> YUTI!

The Play goes to --------------------------------------> An Inspector Calls. Yeah! A very nice one indeed. Reading it is interesting. On top of that it's meaningful too. If any of you could grab at least a chance to watch it. Please do as it makes you think how you sometimes may lead your life or would have led it mistakenly.

As time passes by i started to miss things already. The place and the people. No matter where you are or where i am i hope this could last forever. Just as always it could be or should be. I shall meet you again.

15!

I went to the SIO to take my completion letter. 2nd June is the date! The date for my graduation. If it's 1st of June it will be even better isn't it? Hhahahahahahahahahaha.....

vs.

C : Mountain Dew and Kickapoo is different!Kickapoo is Yellow!
B&K : It's yellow! LOL!
C : Pours a few drops of mountain dew on the lid to make sure it's Yellow!!!
*B pounds her feet on the ground and K was washing the dishes while LOL*

I believe what was listed above isn't everything but this is just what i could think of now. Everything has their sides! It depends on which side we want to take on and how we deal with it. What bothers us are basically two things i.e love and money. I always ponder upon these two issues in life by critically see things from both sides and see from people's experiences and pasts. Well....most of their stories ended similarly and that they are set on the same issues!

Somethings came across our mind at times and soon it will fade away as time kill them. But there are certain things that take ages to dissappear from our memories. But what could be done? The answer is : NONE! The only thing tht i keep telling people is TIME! Yeah...god knows when it's gonna end!When it ends most of us have already gone through the hardship and heartbroken. That's when it's too late to feel remorse! WHAT ARE THESE! It seems to me that they are a revolving cycle that goes round and round without fail passing every stage that was set upon the same issues!

Writing a blog are fun at times when you wish to keep people around you up to date. Keeping one also mean that u would set aside a qtr or an hour or so to keep urself occupied. It is similar with writing a diary. But with diary you can write more more than what u can say on this blog. I started to write since i was in high school. It was a motivation from my dad. I stopped writing for 2 years before high school ended and i continued writing after that.Also the central issue of today's blog ; Blog or Diary?

People out there............try to write a diary if u find blogging isn't enough because up till today i found a diary the most useful. Give it a try!

A little update from Sydney:

About 17days to my departure
Started work on Tuesday.
The play tomorrow
Completion letter tomorrow
Economics class tomorrow
Gym - postponed! (7 more passes :( )


Horoscope of the day

A new phase in your life is beginning, dear Gemini. The previous phase can be interpreted as having taught you to be serious and devoted to professional responsibilities. And you did accomplish some good deeds. Now you can relax and look forward. Let yourself feel the welcome tug of the future.

Dear Horoscope,
I hope so............*crossing my finger's*. I'm coming to you FUTURE!

A Great Year Ahead!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
~2006~

WooooW...............The Fireworks last night was Very Very FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it would be a memorable one! If YOU guys were there yes YOU!! i think it would be GREAT!!!!!!!!! So much of walking, pushing,standing and sitting on the steep grassland.
BUT it was worth my stay. My insist of staying over for NYE was worthwhile.

If i should be sad or happy? Sad cus i'm leaving and at the same time happy to usher the new year for a greater year! arghhhhhhhhhhhhh...........happiness should outweigh the sadness eh?

20 DAYS TO GO! Novelling?Drama watching?Sightseeing?Working?
I have the time but NOT THE MONEY!

horoscope of the day

"Things are suddenly coming to a difficult stalemate regarding the love and romance in your life, dear Gemini. Perhaps you felt like everything was going fine and that you had nothing to worry about. In reality, this notion of "everything going fine" was just your self-denial hard at work, making you think that you could continue on the path you were on without really considering how your actions were affecting others. Be prepared for a reality check that you did not see coming."

hmmm.........what does that supposed to mean? Isn't a good sign eh?
Anyways today is the last day of 2005. Bygones be bygones. Let's move on friends! See you guys in 2006!
My first and could be my last time in life that i will celebrating my NYE in Sydney. Tonight mark at 12.00am i will be shouting Happy New Year at the Mrs. Macquarie's point to usher the new year! I doubt if u would believe this. I'm going to the vantage point now, yes! NOW!!!! because apparently all the gates in to all the vantage points for NYE wil be closed at 3.00pm. That's scary huh? A bit bizarre but i think i should get there and make sure i see the fireworks because this is the reason why i am still in Sydney right until today.

Another important thing is, i found a job. hahaahahaha....hope i will start working soon!

Checked out this morning at 9.00am. Currently writing/blogging (wink) from room 2. Bye bye room 4........

~tada~
