I got a job!

Hahaha don't let my title freak you out. What i really meant to say was that I found a job, a part-time job to be specific. Hahaha really not the real, real 9-5pm kinda job. With my current predicament, it is hard to find real proper job. Yet.


Moi, currently is working as a part-time tutor (err soon to be tutor) at a learning centre. All thanks to Rachel that got me the job easily. I went for the interview this afternoon (which did not take me more than 10 minutes really) and voila! I got the job! *ting!*


In fact, my job starts with immediate affect. i don't even have the chance to tell my mom. Like, how am I supposed to know that when the boss asked me when can I start and my shrug that means anytime and which she really take my word for it and she interpret it as now? Like I will know? Duh!



But then, I am available lar to be fair. Still, it strike me off balanced lor. Kinda surprised of course not to mentioned, I think i kinda overdressed there. Apparently when Rachel says "smart casual" she really mean "casual" -.-"


Oh, did i mentioned that my current employer sounds like some Digimon Monster? Hahaha it has a cool effect but as I read the history, it's actually the founder's surname -.-"
of course I didn't mean that the founder is a Digimon Monster, how can you even think of it? *eyes open big big*




So my first day as a book marker (yet to be upgraded to tutor) brings two revelations:

1) It is trying to sit uppity right straight for the whole day. My spine really hurts now. Stiff and sore. (Can't slouch, cuz its so ugly *-*")

2) Whoever thought that marking books will be that much a challenge? Please don't underestimate it man! My hand are now sore for having to maintain at "certain" position whole day.



On the brighter side, it's quite near my house (10 minutes drive) which i can even drop by home for dinner everyday if I want (which i really did today haha) and I only need to work FOUR days a week!

How cool is that????



The pay is not bad also lar considering it's part time job and short working hours compared to many other jobs. It's relatively quite simple as well and I can practically take leave anytime I want provided I give them notice earlier.


See? Win-win situation for me since i need to take a few days off for my graduation trip. Which real companies that offer real, stable job will allow its employee which is still under probation to take leave so that she can enjoy her graduation trip you tell me?



Aaahhhhhhh, now you get the picture ^^


*******************************


On a random thought, even my mom's physician in encouraging me to enter the teaching profession. Unfortunately, moi don't have much patients with kids. Nice, smart and good kids nevermind lar, but naughty and loud ones? Just take a knife and kill me first before i kill them! I really can't stand kids that screams at the top of their lungs which is often misinterpret as crying/wailing whichever you prefer to call it.

It. Is. A. Scream. OK? Just accept it!




Imagine if I enrolled in a school and they give me the lousy class, I wonder who would die first? me or the students??? Hmmm........... *ponder ponder*


I think I die first lar.

Course there's only
me one lone ranger against one whole blardy class of monkeys (if not more) *shudder at the thought*



So I think if I still have options and alternatives, I won't jump to that profession. At least not yet. I need physical and mental preparation which might take time. A long, long time.

@ Home, @ Peace

I'm all home alone with nothing to do.


Okay, so maybe not really alone, and not really nothing to do...hehe^^


Right after exam's over, my friends and I head up to Penang and spend our weekend there. Haha, I did some calculation for Snoopy and it seems that every TWO months Snoopy will go back Penang once. This is in huge contrast to two years back where he probably only go back to his hometown two to three times A YEAR. Hahahahahaha if last time his gramps would say "Wah very long din come back liao, we miss you la", now the conversation would likely be replace to something like this instead, "Wah, you come back again ar?Very frequent hor?"


Hahahahahaha.......




Due to time constraint, we didn't manage to do much. Poor Ruth, next time we shall spend longer time there and bring you tour every nook and corner of Penang ok^^


Oh ya, this offer is extended to CCSY as well.....Wait til you come back, then we shall have a road trip again^^ We never been to any trip together before....*pout*



Went to Snoopy's friend wedding reception. Quite fun, not too much different from those weddings in Klang lar. But it seems that they always have a small token of appreciation for all the guests present like maybe mini cakes, cupcakes, chocolates etc. While us Klang people don't really have this sort of things. We know how to save money hahahaha!


But then, wedding photos in Penang is really quite reasonable (read: cheap, but in a good way). Their photos are all quite nice and not those "sei pan" (boring & old fashion studio photos). For the same price, in Penang you can get very good quality photos whilst in Klang, you may still get the most basic if not boring photos.


Snoopy's friend's photo are really cool, with many real sceneries such as beach, garden, waterfall etc whereas in Klang we can only get "studio scene" hahaha. True la, in Penang it's easy to access to the above places as compared to Klang la...So they have the advantage.


***************************************


Lately, i'm addicted to online game. Yeah call me late, call me outdated, but here I am. Me---> online game. In fact, i was addicted right before my final paper (yeah you guess right, my last paper is doomed) *wailed*


It's not that i don't want to stop, or rather to start later after my exam, it's just that at that particular week, this game just have to came out with a new server! OF course everybody wanna be the first few to play new server right? I mean, come on, there's so many advantages takkan lah I should lose out meh? Double EXP lor.....


Hehehe so here I am, engrossed in my new love, online game. If you must know, I am playing Wonderland : The Curse Palace.... new server---> Sagittarius


I like Wonderland because it is cute and colourful, quite like Maple Story. I like games like these, colorful, fun, cute and cartoon-ish. I don't those so called 3D reality games where the colours are all so dull and depressing! That's why I am not interested in Cabal, unlike Rachel & May *slap on the forehead*



Few years back, I used to rolled my eyes (it's very mind boggling you know!) at NKL, Rachel & May for their addiction to RO (Ragnarok Online). Their addiction were so severe that I'm surprise they managed to pull out somehow. Haha but now, I have official join them as I can understand how they feel back then. Though my addiction is not as severe as them, but nevertheless, I understand how online games can be addictive.


Toodles people, I'm off to go find my new love ^^

A closed chapter of my life

I sat for my final paper today. My finally final finale paper. And thats it. Now my uni life is officially over and i don't have to step into my uni anymore. This a weird feeling im having now.


Mixed feeling.



A part of me is happy that finally everything is over, all the struggles, assignments, cat fights, deadlines and exams...all this are finally over as we are all graduating soon. I don't have to. . . . . . . I don't have to do anything that I always do for the past three years! Wow, what a revelation!



It seems that a chapter in my life is closed, and now I'm about to embark on a new journey to write another chapter of my life. This is kinda scary as after spending years and years of studying, now I'm finally over it and about to venture into working world.


Just like every young people, I always wished I can grow up faster, finish my degree faster and get an employment faster. However, now that the time has finally arrive, I'm not how I thought i would be. I used to think that I shall be ecstatic about being able to finally work and all, but now, I'm not so sure. Suddenly the future ahead seem very uncertain. What am I suppose to do with my life now?



Now, the working world seems very intimidating to me. I do not know if I will be able to fit in. What if I'm the sore one left out? Then again, being able to find a job at this time of economic situation I would count my blessing already. Everyone has been telling me that it's hard to find job out there due to the economic recession.


So how long am I supposed to stay at this stage? Being jobless I mean?


After taking today's paper, I now officially join the category of "Unemployed Graduates". Congratulation!



Oh! By the way, today's paper sucks big time! Well, I mean I suck big time, not the paper. So I don't think I shall fare very well in this paper because I cannot managed to finished it off. And I do mean I cannot manage to finished a BIG PORTION of it off which carry a very SUBSTANTIAL marks with it.



Not only that, today alone i received too many bad news that I think my future will look even more dimmer than as it is now (as if it could but it could) with my CGPA dropping like nobody's business. As hard as I wished that this final results will not damage my CGPA badly, but then,

well I refused to give up hope as well!

What is becoming of me?

After going through three papers last week (with one being worse then the previous one), now i'm officially left with one more paper to go. One more paper that separate me from graduating.


But since my third paper has been a hell to me, i dread to think what this coming paper would be. Probably wrath of God? Oh dear...The third paper was absolutely hell to me because i don't know how to attempt it! It's like, what have i read? Why everything seems like can't be applied in?


In the end, what i do is i crapped my way through the WHOLE freaking paper. I vaguely remember feeling the same thing back in Y1S2 where there's a killer paper and majority scored badly which yours truly was one of them. I remembered i crapped through the whole paper and it gets me a freaking C! Now that i kinda feel deja vu all over again so i think this time im really screwed now.


The fact that i always have to rely on munching something during lectures doesn't help a lot here. Nor is the fact that i'd always space out in his lecture, and at some grand time, i actually have the nerve to sleep during his lecture. Now, with all this antics, how am i supposed to sit for this paper then? Even at those rare time that i actually tried to pay attention in his lecture, i don't understand a single thing that he said!



This is just great! In three days time, i am supposed to sit for a paper that i have absolutely no idea what is it all about. Great!



Not to mentioned that i frolicked my weekends away doing absolutely everything other than studying. I think the evil side of me probably planned it this way. Now my rational side of me is screaming "DOOMSDAY!!!!!!!! That's for not studying as i should be"


Did i mentioned that i went to the MPH warehouse sales twice during the weekends? Hahaha i have a wonderful time there buried with all those books and dusts but i really cannot say the same thing for my bro and Snoopy though. They kinda unsubtle-ly dropping bombs telling me that they are dead bored while i'm enjoying myself, they don't find tombs of books and dust anything near amusing. Oh well, boys!


I even had my FYP printed and sent for hard bound. It bloody cost me RM120!!!! Now i'm so penniless that i don't know what im surviving on. In fact, Mother's Day is near, and my penniless wallet is stretched even further by a wonderful idea from bro and Snoopy. They suggested a wonderful Mother's Day gift that's just so perfect except for the hefting price.
(FYI, it is still rather pricey even after divided by three cuz Snoopy gallantly offered to share as well *wink*)



Sigh, but then we only had one mother, don't we? So how can i scale the value of my dearest mommy with cold hard cash??? So i went to the bank to withdraw money today and we planned to purchase the gift later in the evening.


We'll see how it goes later. In the meantime, i think i gotta hypnotize myself to go read my newly bought romance novels for my coming paper.


GAMBATE EVERYONE WHO IS ABOUT TO SIT THE SAME PAPER AS ME THIS THURSDAY!

Busy Mode

Quite busy recently with finally final's final exam. Haha i am soon a graduate. In mere weeks time i can proudly address myself as a graduate. No more UNDER graduate hahaha...

That is if my finally final's final (Woah, triple F, have a nice ring to it huh?) exam goes smoothly. I don't ask for miracle, but at least make it look tolerable when i go collect my result slips. At least no heart attack for me and my parents will not be wondering if sending me to tertiary education is worth it or not hahahahaha!


So far, I have sit for two papers already. But the really killer subjects are yet to come *cough* wednesday. Yeah wednesday is really killing me because i do not have enough time to do ample revision. Yeah well, i am a last minute study type of student due to my lazy bone in me. Furthermore, i can't seems to remember well if i studied earlier. The effort will almost be wasted anyway so why bother? hahahaha i know i am such an evil and lazy person ^^


Apart from exams and preparation for exams, many things happened. This few weeks has been an emotional turmoil for me and my family. I do not know how to express it now, but give me some time to collect my thoughts and I'll share with you all soon.


Right now my only wish is that i'll won't fare too badly for this final semester exam, and i shall be able to find a job with my result then I'm satisfied. I don't ask for more, just a stable job in this current economic uncertainty.


It is very saddening when my relatives all ask when I'm graduating and what type of job i'm applying for, then they further warn me in a good way that this year it is hard to find job as many companies are finding ways to lay off their workers. In fact, some companies currently frozen their intake of new employees due to the recession.



So it would seems that indeed im graduating at the wrong time. Wonder can i get a decent job? I will not set my expectation too high not to worry, just a stable job for me to at least get some experience rather than staying at home and do nothing (read: rot).




And no, I have not applied for any jobs yet, bummer!

Lack of concentration

I CAN'T CONCENTRATE ON MY STUDIES!!!!!

ARGHHHHHH




It's been two days im in this miserable state. Two full days i have wasted by doing nothing apart from sleeping, watching television and eat. All i do is stare at the notes, but nothing penetrates my thick skull to my tiny lil brain hidden behind. I am in such a sorry state that i think i'm really doomed this time.


I need discipline. I need concentration. I need motivation!



Exam will commence in TWO days time and i'm still wallowing here bout me not being able to study bla bla bla.... I'm such a hopeless! *smack on the head*



Anyone got any good idea about how to make me ABLE to study better????? i think i truly needs it. If there's such thing as "increase attention span pill" I'll gladly swallow it, I tell you.


Yes, I am desperate. I am so desperate that I'm freaking out now pulling all my hairs and the atmosphere around me is highly charged with negative ions.



GOD BLESS ME~

Japanese buffet

It's been like what, two weeks since i've been to Tenji with all my fabulous coursemates? Oooo what a lovely time we had there.



that's our table 121-123




Hahaha been lazy so now only i post it up...


Another reason that trigger me to post it up was because yesterday, my besties all went to the famous "restaurant for high class people" a.k.a JOGOYA for lunch!


How i wished i could join them but unfortunately, i have to study as my final's final is approaching (how boring can it be, right?). Approaching sounds too casual. Actually, my final's final is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!!! Hah, that should give it more Oomph!


On the other hand, my dad don't print money nor does my backyard grow money tree...Sobs...sobs...Although they have the "Buy 1 Free 1" coupon, but still, it's expensive and i'm kinda broke now with never ending FYP printing and whatnot. I'll just have to be contented with eating three different japanese food for three different occasion in a month. I guess i'll just have to put my feet down and stop there...sigh!


Anyway, can't wait to hear from them of their lunch experience.



ARGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!


I need to stop of this obsession of japanese food!


Here's some of the photos i took back in Tenji.


this section holds all the raw food and mee (soba, udon, etc) not exactly my fav but the ambiance was great! The lighting just nice, not too dim and the decor also minimal but sophisticated. I like!




Here's the hot spot. You'll probably know why. Yeah, it's cuz of all those fresh oysters and sashimi.




the view from our sitting place.





and these are the people i went with. There's eight of us, two's missing from the picture though



Here's the best part, the F.O.O.D.I.E.S.~~~~


My first dish: sashimi, oysters and tofu.

Look at those oysters man! It was really big, bout 3/4 the size of my hand and it was really fresh, juicy and tasty! Add with a dash of tabasco and lime, it taste heavenly! And the sashimi was really good too! Very fresh!




My second dish: Sushi. Variety of sushi.


It was fantastic as well but sushi make me feel full hence leave little room for more great food.





Big juicy crab ordered by Kelvin. Unfortunately i did not sampled any. I don't want to dirty my hand hahahaha





me and Vic : almost like hosts to some food program huh?!





Papaya soup! This was a treasure that i manage to sampled some. It was fabulous i wish i could have more but my tummy can only hold that much sigh! (I tax from Rue&Tiff's hehe because i don't even know that Tenji had a soup section or something) I dunno where lerrr, never see also!



And dessert time! Haha, actually in between there's more but yours truly was too engrossed in eating that she forgot to stop and take some photos, Sorry people.


Let me see what i've missed out~~~ crab pudding? mussels? steam cod fish (which was way fantastic), abalones? tempura? lamb chop? carbonara fish? beef? prawns? Hmmm....... let's just proceed to dessert lar.



Mango cheesecake, Japanese cotton cheesecake & Apple cheesecake

Verdict: Yummy!




Grape mochi, egg tart & cupcake

Verdict: Everything was fine except cupcake which was a bit stale to my liking



Not forgetting, Grape Pudding!!!!



Hahahaha again, yours truly did not take any photos of tiramisu lar, Haagen-Dazs ice cream lar etc. Reason being? because she was too stuff that she can barely move her arms and rummaged through her bag for camera ^^

Unbelievable!

I'm quite pissed off now.
I can't believe this!


Why is there a double standard??? Isn't it you are supposed to treat everyone equally? Why aren't you being fair and just? Don't you ever learn ethics course before????


I cannot believe that i have to learn this through another person. Why can't you just tell me face to face? E-mail? SMS???? there are just so many methods of communication available and you failed to use even ONE?????


IF i did not approach you directly, are you just gonna act stupid and conveniently forget about it? Don't you know that you are making my life miserable????


The feeling of being left out is really horrible. It makes me feel im not worthy of your attention. I know you are super busy and stuff, but so do I. IF given the choice, I would not ask or beg for your attention. BUT i wasn't given a choice. Neither do you. In fact, You probably chose me for all i know.


Since we were both stucked in this unchangeable circumstances, why not make the best out of it? Just as the saying goes, when life gives you lemon, make lemonades!


Im willing to play my part (i have no choice anyway), so i humbly ask that you play yours as well.


LET US MAKE THIS WORKS OKAY?????

weird feeling

This is weird. I mean, i almost have nothing to do! Well, almost.


I have submitted my crappy individual assignment today. It was so crappy that even I rolled my eyes when i reread it today. In fact, i guess yesterday night i was too tired trying my best to crap that i missed out the conclusion part and some typo error which i only found out after i printed it.


Would have corrected it if not for my pendrive infected by virus in the printing shop earlier. That nasty virus corrupt all my files in the pendrive. Sigh, i think this is God's way of telling me not to change anything anymore. Fate. This is fate, so nothing much i can do there.


Oh ya, about my pendrive, there's nothing important in it actually. In fact just some copies of my work which i still have backups here and there, so no worries there.


Seriously, this feel weird, of not having anything to do. . . . . This feeling is so alien to me that i almost forgot how it feel to be free.......what a bliss~~~


Anyway, since my final's final is drawing near, i think perhaps i should hit the book. Soon. *dread*


I am kinda nervous now because everyone that i know of are talking about future employment in tis and tat company. Everyone has been sending out resumes except for me. My resume is not even complete yet sigh!


This rat race is killing me!!!!! What if i can't find a job upon graduation huh??? How then??? I scared lor.......

Finally...

Finally!!!!!


Finally my FYP is done!!! Finally its all over!!!! I have finally submitted my first draft~


Hahaha...eh don't look down on my first draft ok? it is still countable for marks and to me, this first draft is as good as final draft... Hopefully godmom will be satisfied with it and tell me, "You can now submit the final draft. No changes is needed,"


YAYYYYYY!!!!!! ok ok i know i'm dreaming....but i fervently hope so.... save me trouble....


You guys have no idea how much i have sacrificed for my FYP... I was so "engrossed" with it til i fall sick... I have been sick on and off for about two weeks now...on and off....on and off.....


But the funny thing is, i ONLY fall sick at night... that is to say, in the morning i wake up, my fever will be "gone". But when it comes to night when i'm preparing to sleep, my fever will automatically creep "back" make me fret in my sleep. weird right?


I did not went to the doctor because i don't know how to tell him. Because i know when he look at me (in the morning/afternoon) he won't be able to detect any trace of fever in me...He probably think i'm just there for the MC...and feign sick-.-"


So anyway, i just hope my whatever sickness will go away eventually...and make it fast too... i can't bear to be sick anymore.... I believe i've been sick for the whole year's quota....so from now on, my sickness quota for the year should have been fulfilled...so no more sickness for me right??? ^^



Back to FYP, right before i fall sick, i spent RM40 alone just for the printing....so expensive lor printing nowadays....my printer's adapter rosak liao so i was force to print outside...and obviously they charge me an arms and a leg lar.....so now im so broke...and i shudder to think about final draft printing cost, where binding alone would already cost RM24........brrrr



Then as if im not in a horrible situation already, my house telephone line choose to go dead now. So now i can't online at home...well until my line is fix anyway...


Just great...just as i thought i deserve some entertainment after my hard labour of FYP...darn...now i cant even online -.-"



As yours truly write this post in uni, her fever had just relaps the night before... and as she drive today, she realised ONE FACT that she has been pondering for quite some time. This time, she practically tested and proven it too...and the fact is;


SICK PEOPLE TENDS TO DRIVE FASTER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FEEL THE SPEED AT ALL



it's funny, it's as though one's senses are numbed.....
