Awakened

2008-11-04T02:29:00.002+11:00

Someone told me,
in order to succeed in this corporate world,
for people like me,
who does not come from a filthy rich family,
or does not have any political connections,
I need to work my ass off.

Very true indeed,
and it somehow wakes me up.
This is the reality,
and I just can't get away from it.
Although I realise this long ago,
but I was suddenly inspired to work my ass off,
literally.

From today onwards,
I'm gonna work hard and work harder.
I'm gonna be the first in and last out from the office.
I'm gonna stop job hopping,
unless it is an offer from Goldman Sachs or equivalent.

Will I ever make it?

Assertiveness

2008-08-27T22:30:00.006+10:00

One day, I bumped into the CEO in the lift. I was the only one there and he stood right beside me as the lift was a small one. Being polite, I said, “Hi, Dato!” He replied, “Hi! How are you?” And I said, “Good.” And that’s it. There was an awkward silence after that until he reached 8th floor.

Of course he doesn’t know who I was as I’m just a small potato. But I could have continued the conversation like asking him how was his day or at least talk about the weather. It’s not that I don’t know what to say. It’s just that I’m afraid that I’ll say something stupid or ask the wrong question.

I’m always not assertive enough talking or behaving in front of my bosses. I know they would not eat me up even if I’ve said something stupid but I’m just too conscious of what they think of me or what I’ve said.

“Assertiveness is a trait taught by many personal development experts and psychotherapists and the subject of many popular self-help books. It is linked to self-esteem and considered an important communication skill.” Source: Wikipedia.

The lack of assertiveness is one of my weaknesses. This is what my ex-boss told me. I’m confident while talking to my peers yet not assertive in front of bosses. I always answer questions from bosses with questions and dare not voice out my opinion. It’s very true and it’s not something that I’m proud of.

When will I ever overcome this?

I’m back!

2008-08-18T02:36:00.002+10:00

Finally. I’ve left my first job. Why? I want to find my self-worthiness. I wanna do something more dynamic, more meaningful, more related to finance, learn more things and, most importantly, doing something that can help me find my self-worthiness.

The previous job: pay – not bad, benefits – very good, colleagues – good, boss – so-so, environment – good, facilities – good, job scope – bad! bad! bad! I didn’t like what I was doing. Maybe it’s because of my ego. Although part of the job scope is interesting but I can’t learn what I want. For now, I wanna find what I really wanna do. I’m still young and still quite fresh, I wanna take this opportunity to explore more things.

Some people say they wanna make more money when they’re still young. For me, money is not the only thing now, maybe because I don’t have any financial burden yet, so I’m lucky to do what I wanna do. I guess when I have found what I want and what I like, money will come too (hopefully).

It has been more than a week since I resigned. I will start my new job in September but I’m still looking around for other opportunities. Yeah, I’m greedy! I have been staying at home for more than a week and I’m bored already! I actually miss going to work. I thought I needed to rest and refresh myself before starting work but this holiday is too long. I finally felt the pinch of not generating any income. I have to think twice before spending. I just hope that September can come faster.

I need...

2008-05-18T03:48:00.002+10:00

A new lappie,
new phone,
new camera,
new bag,
new shoes,
new clothes,
and most importantly,
A NEW JOB!!!

Monday blues

2008-04-08T00:56:00.003+10:00

My handphone's alarm rang at 6.30am.
I woke up wondering why the hell did it rang as I always set it to ring on weekdays only.
Soon I realise that weekend is over!!!
How can???
Don't you just hate Mondays? ;)

Valentine's flowers

2008-02-16T04:11:00.005+11:00

Here some pics of the flowers which my colleagues and I received on V-day.

This is my flower bouquet.

Nice or not? =)

This belongs to one of my colleague's, from her known admirer.

The little teddy is so cute!

This belongs to my another colleague's, from a secret admirer.

It's really a huge hand bouquet.

Lion dance in my work place

2008-02-16T03:22:00.009+11:00

About an hour before I left my workplace today,

there's an anouncement saying that there's lion dance at the lobby of my office's building.

Noone in my department seems to care about it.

Around 4.45pm, as I have packed my things and ready to leave the office,

I heard drums rolling and saw that two lions dancing their way to our floor.

We were delighted and surprised....

Apparently, the lion dance troupe went to every floor.
Ok, maybe almost every floor cos there's 21 floors.
Here's the pics....

The Lion is coming to wish everyone ‘Gong Hei Fatt Choi’

Dancing its way to the Department Head’s table….

The cheeky lion still manage to pose for photos b4 reaching…

The lion reached the dept head’s table and tastes the mandarin orange…

"Yummmy.... The mandarin orange tastes good!"

The lion dancing its way again, this time to my table.

Meeting up with its twin lion on the way….

The guy trying to lead the two playful lions.

Finally, it found its way to my place to taste the orange.

Posing for photos again after tasting the mandarin orange. Poser…

The orange 'tasted' by the lion…

This is my first time watching a lion dance inside an office =)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

2008-02-14T02:09:00.003+11:00

Happy Chinese New Year!!!
Wishing all of you a properous year ahead!!!
Apparently, the rat year is not good for the 'rats', so beware.

Sorry that I did not update my blog often.
Nothing much to update lately.
Except that I've been job hunting again.
Wish me luck!

I'm tired...

2008-01-20T20:04:00.000+11:00

I'm just tired of pleasing everyone...
My boss...
My colleagues....
My customers...
My friends....
My family...
My other half...
I just wish I could go to place where nobody knows me...

All I want for Christmas is an...

2007-12-17T00:31:00.000+11:00

iPhone

It's really really cool!!!

Anyone wanna make my wish come true??? ;P

OMG

2007-12-12T00:17:00.001+11:00

I shook hand with Datuk Jimmy Choo yesterday!!!
Yes, the Jimmy Choo who make shoes that almost every girl couldn't resist.
OMG, I'm still very excited that I met him in person and shook his hand.
OMG, I actually shook the hand that made shoes for many celebs, including the late Princess Diana.
He's actually very friendly and down to earth.

On the other hand, when I got home and told my mum bout it,
her reponse was "hou ba bai meh" (what's the big deal).
My darling lagi worse, he don't even know who is Jimmy Choo.
Damn potong steam...

Holiday mood!

2007-12-10T01:37:00.000+11:00

I'm loving this December cos there's:
Sultan Selangor's bday on 11th,
Hari Raya Qurban on 20th,
Christmas Day on 25th,
and New Year's day on 1st Jan.
I've also took leave on 24th for my Sg trip! =P

Shopping time!

2007-12-03T02:31:00.000+11:00

It's the time of the year again where there's

sale, sale, sale!

and I'll

spend, spend, spend!

I must control!

Sometimes I wonder,

2007-11-18T22:22:00.000+11:00

whether my brain is just too lazy to remember things,
or it chose not to remember certain things,
or it has ran out of memory?

1st DaY aT WorK

2007-11-06T01:23:00.000+11:00

I have FINALLY started work, after 3 months of holiday.
My office is in down town, so it's super jam-ed and I gotta wake up very early.
And it's conveniently located in a flood-prone area.
But there's lots of good and affordable food available there ;P

Anyway, the nature of my job is bout marketing and sales,
which is not really what I wanted,
but people are making money from this line.
Anyway, I'm jobless for soooo many months and I have to start somewhere,
so I'll just give it a try since the pay and benefits are considered good for a fresh grad.

For the 1st month I will undergo training,
they called it da honey-moon month.
Cos part of the training is conducted in a hotel's function room,
where lunch and 2 tea breaks were provided by the company.
Those from outstation branches were arranged to stay at the hotel,
all paid by the company too, for 1 whole month.
Too bad I'm not from outstation =(
Tak aci!!!

Both breakfast and lunch is the buffet at the hotel's coffee house.
Although it's not a 5-star hotel,
with no fresh oyster or sashimi or hagen-daz ice cream,
but the buffet is quite ok lah.
So after 1 month, I'll be gaining more weight. Die!!!
From my previous experience, when companies treat u so good,
they will have lotsssss of work for you coming up.

I'll have some examsssss at the end of the month after all the training.
Hopefully I'll pass, or else I have to pay for retaking.
So, wish me luck =)

Iced Lemon Tea

2007-11-01T00:55:00.000+11:00

I ordered an Iced Lemon Tea from a kopitiam.
Then, the waitress asked, "你要热的还是冷的 ICED lemon tea?"

I was stoned.
I was confused.
And tried not to laugh at the same time.

Or maybe there's something new in town called
hot-iced lemon tea and cold-iced lemon tea??? o_O

Nightmare

2007-10-26T04:09:00.000+10:00

It was day time.
I was driving along a straight road, alone.
A car was parked at the road side.
Then, I saw passengers getting down from the car.
It was a big family, adults and children.
They were crossing the road.
Therefore, I slowed down my car to let them cross.
Some of them crossed half way and stood in the middle of the road,
waiting for cars on the next lane to stop.
Before I could stop my car completely to let the whole family go across,
a little boy suddenly fell down on his back and my car just went over him.
Two girls, who were crossing the road,
saw the boy, got a shock and fell down too.
My car also went over the two girls.
I was so frightened that I woke up, realising it was just a nightmare.

Life is a journey full of tests

2007-10-19T22:53:00.000+10:00

At school, they test you.
At uni, they test you.
At interviews, they also test you.
At work, your employer test your performance.

Not to forget,
in your every day's life,
God is also testing you.
Test your patience,
test your integrity,
test your faith,
test your courage,
and so on...

And I'm sick of all these testssssssssss.....

Little make-up tips for you

2007-10-11T02:11:00.000+10:00

Girls, just wanna share with you what I learnt from my recent make-up class:

Foundation:

After applying your moisturizer, apply a make-up base before applying any make-up so that your make-up will last longer.
If you’re using powder, always apply concealer before powder.
When choosing a concealer, choose a shade that’s one shade darker than your skin colour so that the spot that you’re concealing wouldn’t turn grey-ish.
After applying powder foundation, use a brush to dust away excess powder so that you’ll look more natural.

Eyebrow:

Using your pencil, start drawing from the middle of your brow until the end. Then, brush your eyebrow pencil against an eyebrow brush and use the brush to draw the beginning of your brow. It’ll look more natural.
If you forgot to bring your eyebrow pencil with you, you can always use a dark brown (depends on your hair and eyebrow colour) eye shadow to draw your brow.

Mascara:

Always use the eyelash curler before applying mascara.
If you wanna use fake lashes, always curl and apply mascara before sticking on the fakes. Don’t curl or apply mascara on the fakes, you’ll damage them.

Lip:

After applying lipstick/gloss, don’t press your upper lip against the lower lip. Instead, use a lip brush to apply or to even out the lipstick/gloss.
To make your lip colour last longer, after applying your lipstick, apply some powder foundation over it and then apply your lipstick again.

Have fun! =)

Frustrated!!!

2007-10-09T23:08:00.000+10:00

My mobile phone service provider sucks!
My broadband service provider sucks too!
It makes me wanna flush my phone and lappie down da toilet!!!
But of course I’m not that stupid.

I’m not gonna pay my bills and I wanna sue them for providing such lousy services!!!

Ok, I’m finished with my rants, ignore me…..

Graduated finally!

2007-09-11T18:38:00.000+10:00

At last, I get to attend my graduation ceremony.

I didn't get to do it for my bachelor's.

Finally, I attended for my master's.

The graduation ceremony marks the end of my student life, officially.
Nevertheless, it also signifies the beginning of a new phase of my life - working life!
I hope my journey of job searching can end soon though.
More pics of convo on my multiply.

Happy Belated Birthday 2 Me!

2007-09-11T18:16:00.001+10:00

Haha...
I was too busy and lazy to update my blog.

I'm 23 already!!!
So old man...
I'm still trying to accept the fact that I'm in my 20s.
I don't wanna grow any older.
If only I can freeze time...

Anyways, my birthday wish for this year is to get a JOB!
I'm still very much UNEMPLOYED!
I just want a job with good pay, good prospects, good benefits, good boss, good colleages, good environment, good facilities, good location... =P
Is that too much to ask for? ahaha...
Can anyone make my wish come true?

Oh, not to forget, thanks for all da wishes =)

Sempena Hari Merdeka...

2007-08-31T01:12:00.001+10:00

This song brings back memories from high school.

Happy 50th Merdeka Day!!!

And happy holidays!!! =)

A Merdeka's Joke:
On 31 August 1957, Tunku Abdul Rahman shouted "Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!", some Cantonese folks thought that the prices of rice has dropped! (米跌价) ;P

Flames to dust

2007-08-20T23:45:00.000+10:00

When the flames are turning into dust,
will you try your best to save the flames?

Or will you let flames turn into dust and build another fire?

What if you've saved it but it's turning into dust again,
will you save it again and again?

Quote of the day

2007-08-17T23:54:00.000+10:00

" Everywhere I go,
I would always find myself looking out at the window,
wishing I were somewhere else..."
- Angelina Jolie

I don't know what I want after all

2007-08-08T00:42:00.000+10:00

"What is your ambition?"
"How do you see yourself in 5 years' time?"

I never thought about these things for a long while.
The last time I had a real amibition was in high school.
And I have never really think about what would I achieve in 5 year's time.

I must start thinking.
I must have an aim.

The effect of overusing computers:

2007-07-29T01:02:00.000+10:00

Tendonitis.

At first, I thought I twisted my wrist.
But the 铁打师父 asked if I always uses the computer and I said yes.
So, pls don't spend too much time using the computer or you'll end up like me.
Aud, don't blog too much, ya? ;)

I'm back in KL!!!

2007-07-22T23:54:00.000+10:00

Just feels good to be home =)

The eating and shopping continues....
Ahaha....

Temptations

2007-07-16T20:05:00.000+10:00

They are everywhere...
The clothes...
The shoes...
The bags...
They are asking me to buy them.
The food is even worse...
They are asking me to eat them.
Ahaha...
So irresistable...

Counting Down...

2007-07-15T12:43:00.000+10:00

6 more days to home!

Fate

2007-07-14T23:41:00.000+10:00

Do you believe in fate?
Is everything in this world fated?
Are we all fated to be what we are now?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you have chosen the other option?

Contradiction

2007-07-14T23:28:00.000+10:00

During the semester when I'm busy with assignments and exams,
I wanted a long long break so desperately.
Now that I have all the time in the world,
I wished I have something to keep me busy.

2007-07-14T22:50:00.000+10:00

7 days to home =)

Random

2007-07-14T00:52:00.000+10:00

I feel so fat yet I can't stop eating.
Damn it!
I must stay away from food.
But how can?
And my mum has planned to have buffet lunch with my relatives when I reached home.
Can die lah like that, eat, eat, eat.....

Going home soon

2007-07-13T22:44:00.000+10:00

Results were out last night.
I passed all my subjects!!!
I can go home soon =)
I finally can leave this place.
A part of me wanting to leave so badly because I missed my family and friends back home.
But another part of me didn't want to go home because I will have to start my working life soon.

I emailed my results to my mum.
When she got the news, she spread the news to the whole world, literally.
I'm the one who's completed my studies but she's more excited than me.
Parents....
Maybe when I become a parent next time I would become like her.

People has been telling me to stay here to work because of the money.
Family, family friends, strangers, etc.....
Yes, I know, the money is very good and the quality of life is better here.
But they don't understand that I don't like it here.
Even if I'm not attached I may not stay here.
I don't like the cold weather.
I don't like not having a big family here.
I don't like staying alone.
I don't like being home sick all the time.
There's nothing like home.
The money can definitely make life much better.
But money can't replace everything.

Aimless

2007-07-01T12:21:00.000+10:00

Exams and uni ended.
I have nothing to do except waiting for time to pass and for results to be released.
Suddenly I felt so aimless.
I miss home soooooooooooooooo much.

It's over!

2007-06-23T22:56:00.000+10:00

Exams ended!
Uni ended!
Yeah!!!!!!!!

But yesterday's exam sucked.
Hopefully I wouldn't fail it.
I mustn't fail.
Must go home next month.
Must graduate this semester.
Haih... don't wanna think bout negative things right now.
Just wanna enjoy my holiday first.

Looking forward for my bro to come over for holiday.
Looking forward to my trip to Sydney!
Looking forward to shift over to Audrey's place for few weeks!
Thank you, Audrey!!! Muaks

我以为我可以暂时地忍耐。
我错了。
今天，那一番话，令我更难受。
我恨不得考完试那天就搭飞机回家。　

Going crazy

2007-06-18T12:49:00.000+10:00

The weather is driving me crazy.
The revision for exams is driving me crazy.
The craving for some authentic Malaysian food is driving me crazy.
Homesickness is driving me crazy.
PMS is driving me crazy.

心灵相通

2007-06-15T13:06:00.001+10:00

Just as i finished posting the previous entry, he told me that he also dreamt that I went back to KL.
So sweet...
My motivation to study is up up up!

It was juz a dream…

2007-06-15T12:45:00.000+10:00

I was packing my stuff, getting ready to fly back to KL the next day.
I was so excited cos I waited so long for this day to come.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw that my notes are all over the place.
Then, I realized that exams are not even over.
Damn it…

童年阴影

2007-06-14T21:39:00.000+10:00

I was surfing the net looking for jobs.
I noticed that most jobs require candidates to be adaptable to ‘fast changing environments’.
Honestly, I really don’t like changes, small changes ok lah, but not fast and big changes.
This is probably due to my 童年阴影

When I started Std 1, I was enrolled in a ‘sekolah rendah kebangsaan’.
After 2 or 3 months, my mum noticed that the school wasn’t very good and transferred me to a Chinese primary school.
After finishing Std 1, my mum thought the environment of the 2nd school wasn’t good either and hence I transferred to another Chinese school again when Std 2 started.
Then, in Std 4 I changed from the normal class to the ‘best’ class.

Everytime I change school or change class, I need a lot of effort to adapt.
Everyone seemed to know each other as they started the class together and were friends already.
I find it difficult to mix with them and my Mandarin wasn’t good either.
I also need to keep up with what everyone has learnt cos different school and class may have different teaching plans.
You may think that it’s good for a kid to be exposed to changing environments.
But, eventually, I kinda developed a phobia when I knew I’m gonna enter into a different environment.

Even a friend whom I got to know last year while working noticed that I don’t like changes.
She said that I always ordered the same drink or food when I went to particular stall for breakfast or lunch.
I didn’t realize that until she told me.
No one has ever told me that before or I may have forgotten.

But no matter how, I still have state in my resume that ‘I’m adaptable to the fast changing environments’ and pretend to be adaptable when I start working.
This world is so real.

Junk food are evil!!!

2007-06-12T22:20:00.000+10:00

They 're making me FAT FAT FAT !!!
Studying is evil too cos it makes me munch on junk food!

Ok, I know I should stop buying junk food.
Should I stop studying too?
Haha...

I feel so fat!

寄人篱下的感觉不好受！

2007-06-03T12:38:00.000+10:00

为了省钱，在这里我选择了住在我姑姑家。
他们一家人都很照顾我的衣行住食。
我住了这么久，他们也没向我收过一分钱。
我真的很感激他们。

可是，昨晚我姑丈问我，我什么时候考完试，什么时候回家乡。
我就告诉他说六月尾考完试，七月尾回家乡。
他又问我考完试打算在这里做什么。
我就告诉他我要等成绩出了才回去。
他又说成绩不必等，上网就可以查到。

这一刻，我感觉到他不想我在这里再呆多几个里拜。
想我考完试后就立刻回家。
突然间觉得我自己很不被受欢迎。

是不是自己太敏感了呢？
还是我做错了什么，说错了什么？

Assignments are over!

2007-06-02T22:39:00.000+10:00

Finally, I have time to blog.
The past few weeks I 've been so damn busy.
Now that assignments are over my inspiration to blog is gone.

But I just wanna say:

I miss home!!!

Now that assignments are over, I have more time to think and ended up thinking about home.
I realise that assignments are good in the sense that they keep me busy and think less of home.
Ehehe...

I'm looking forward to go home.
Just 2 more months to go.
Can't wait! Can't wait!

But I'll definitely gonna miss my student life.
This is my last semester.
Of course I'm not gonna miss studying but just miss being a student. =)

My 1st traffic jam in Melbourne

2007-04-23T22:24:00.000+10:00

Today I experienced my first traffic jam in Melbourne.
I was driving home after class about 8.30pm.
Usually, it will be a smooth journey but today was jammed up like LDP during peak hours.
I thought there was a big accident or something.
After 30 mins, I finally get to see what was happening.
There’s some police cars and a tow truck with a car on it.
I can’t really see whether the car was damaged or not.

But the point is that all these cars were on the emergence lane, not the highway!
The highway has three lanes and all three lanes were not affected by the accident.
But ALL the cars that pass by slowed down to look and caused a massive jam!!!
Bloody hell.
I thought this will only happen in M’sia.
I guess I was wrong.

Getting fat!

2007-04-11T23:02:00.000+10:00

Die lah!
My spare tyre is getting bigger.
So ugly.
Later nobody wants me.
How???
Must be the fast food.
Or is it the sweets?
Or have I been eating larger portions?
Haih...
Must stay far far away from those unhealthy food.
Must control my diet.
Must exercise.

Ugly shoes

2007-04-09T12:25:00.000+10:00

Why do these people like to come up with ugly looking shoes.
I know they're functional but they're ugly!
Who would wanna wear these boots in M'sia?
The fishmonger?
And these ugly shoes are expensive.

Happy Easter!

2007-04-09T00:24:00.000+10:00

It's Easter's holidays and I get a 1 week break.
But I've got 2 assigments due when classes start, sigh...
Good Friday and Easter Sunday are public holidays here and all shops are closed!
How can???
I'm very very bored you know?
Everyone seems to have their own plans for the holiday, except me.

But on Saturday I managed to tag along my uncle n aunty to Chapel Street.
It's a shopping district.
Didn't buy anything cos the things are very expensive.
I miss shopping in KL!
I miss shopping in Hong Kong and Macau too!

Absence makes the heart fonder

2007-04-08T17:07:00.000+10:00

Came across this phrase while blog hopping.
Very true indeed...

Somehow, LDR makes me treasure my relationship with him more.
Maybe it's because I don't have much friends here and my social life here can be flushed down the toilet.
So I guess I spent most of my time missing him...

Some people thought that LDR doesn't work.
But I think if when you really love someone and you are willing to put a little effort in the relationship, it will definitely work!

Goodbye daylight saving!

2007-03-25T19:23:00.000+10:00

Daylight saving in Melb is finally over! Yeah!
This means the timing difference between KL and Melb is only 2 hours =)
You see when the timing difference is 3 hours with day light saving and my darling have odd working hours, so I need to wake up in the middle of the night to webcam with him.
Sometimes, I couldn't wake up when I'm tired and so we couldn't chat =(
So with 2 hours difference, if he reaches home by 12am, i can still stay awake til then.

I know I haven't update my blog for some time. Why?
Because there's nothing interesting to blog.
Life here is as boring as ever, study, study and study.
I wish I could move out.
I wish I could do distance learning from KL.
Nevermind. 4 weeks have passed and I'm nearer to finishing my course.
But assignments are piling up and I'm feeling so lazy...

Home sick...

2007-03-01T10:51:00.000+11:00

I'm back at Melb to continue my studies and I'm home sick again...

I wanna go home!

Just hope that time can pass faster....

Me and my family boarded Airasia to Macau. There’s 6 of us.
Surprisingly, the flight was on time and it’s a new airbus, not like the stupid plane that I took to Kota Kinabalu last time.

We reached Macau airport about 10 minutes early and my uncle who’s working in Macau came to fetch us.
The weather was nice, not too hot nor too cold, but a lil hazy.

All of us stayed in my uncle’s apartment in Taipa, which is an island beside Macau.

2007-01-21T03:23:00.001+11:00

Hi, everyone!
I'm finally back! hehehe...
I just realised that I've not bloggged for exactly 2 months.
Even the chat box is not functioning.

Why? Because busy working loh...
Everyday also have to OT, so sien...
My contract is ending in 1 week's time. Yeah! =)
But this will mean I'll be going back to Melb soon =(

I shall blog more next week coz Lay Sye's wedding is coming up and I'll be travelling to Macau! =)

Weight issue

2006-11-21T03:50:00.000+11:00

Since I came back to KL, whenever I meet someone, they'll tell me I've gain weight or I've become chubbier.
So I shall just sit at home until I've lose weight.

I was told that about 9 out of 10 girls who went to Melb to study would put on weight, yes, only Melb.
Apparently, those girls who went to study in Queensland didn't gain weight or gained less weight compared to those who went to Melb.
This is what I heard lah, true or not I dunno.
So if you don't wanna gain weight, don't go to Melb for study! haha...
I've gain about 1-2kg for spending 3/4 months there but dunno why my face become sooo chubby.
Imagine that if I were to stay in Melb for the rest of my life, what would I become?

Home sweet home

2006-11-19T04:23:00.000+11:00

It has been a week since I arrive home.
It's sooooo good to be home =)
I haven't blog for the past few days cos my wireless router was down.

Anyway, I wanna complain about MAS, our beloved airline.
My flight was delayed for about 2 hours.
My flight is supposed to depart on 3.40pm last Sat.
I reached the airport at about 1.30pm.
I checked in my laguage and went passed the immigration.
I happily went to one of the restaurant bought a pie and a drink as lunch while waiting for the gate to open.
After eating, it was about 3pm.
I walked to the waiting lounge, find a seat, sat down, took out a magazine to read.
I was so looking forward to board the plane to go home.
But about 15min later, the staff stationed at the gate made an announcement.
She said that the flight will be delayed for about an hour due to some technical problem.
WTH?? Nvm, I told myself 1 hour is not that long.
So I called my mum to tell her that the flight has been delayed so that she don't have to go to the airport so early.
So I waited and waited and chatted with a girl beside me.
She's also a M'sian student looking forward to go home like me ;P
She was telling me that she heard that there was one time that her friend punya friend's flight was delayed until the next day.
Very 'efficient' right?
So, about 30min after the first announcement, the staff made another announcement again.
I thought she wanted to announce that we can board the flight.
Mana tau, she said the flight has to be further delayed til 6pm cos they need more time to fix the machanical problem.
WTF???
She also said all the passengers will be given a AUD15 voucher to spend at any restaurant in the airport.
AUD15 for waiting for 2 hours.
My 2 hours is only worth AUD15.
Haih...
After collecting the voucher, me and the other M'sian girl I was talking to sat back at our seat for a while before going to the restaurant.
We decided to go to Starbucks.
By the time we walked there, there was a long queue.
Most of the ppl Q-ing are the passengers on my flight.
By the time we 'ta bao' it's already time to board the plane.
So we went back to the gate and we're glad to know that there's no further delay and it's time to board the plane.
After 8 hours, I arrived at KLIA safe and sound. =)

Oh ya, those ppl who met me, mostly my relative lah, said I put on weight.
It's the first time, in dunno how many years, I actually put on some weight.
My pants now are very tight, so sad =(
I have to eat less but I've been eating and eating and eating and my pants are more tight now cos I miss the hawker food sooo much.

I haven't done much these few days except looking around for a temp job.
Anyone wanna hire me?

Balik kampung!

2006-11-10T19:37:00.000+11:00

Exam’s over and I’m going home tomorrow.
Ahaha… Can’t wait, can’t wait!
Just feel like getting on the plane right now.
I’m kinda feeling weird after exams cos I’ve been really really really bz for the past 3 months but now that exams are over, suddenly, I have nothing to do.
Nevertheless, I’m happy that exam’s over and I can go home! :D

Speaking of balik kampung, during the last CNY, while I was working temporarily in a bank, one of my ex-colleague asked me:
‘Tak balik kampung ke?’
So, I told her KL is my kampung.
Then, she asked again, ‘Your parents are from KL?’
So, I said yes.
Then, she asked again, ‘Your grandparents juga from KL?’, macam tak boleh percaya that I’m a KL girl. Aku anak jati KL, k?
So, I pondered a while and told her yes but they’re actually from China but when they came to M’sia, they settled in KL.
She then turned to another colleague and said,
‘Bagusnya, dia tak yah balik kampung tapi dia ni macam takde kampung lah’
Her statement is so funny.
But now I’m proud to say that I have a kampung and I love to balik kampung.
Hehehe…

Poh Poh, I'll be missing u!

2006-11-04T12:00:00.000+11:00

My granny just passed away last night.
Hope that she'll suffer less in heaven and may God bless her.

Poh Poh, we'll miss u always!
And your cooking too! ;P

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the days, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
-I'll be missing you by P. Diddy-

Sigh...

2006-11-04T01:15:00.000+11:00

A problem which I’ve been running away from has come up again.
Should I continue to run?
Should I solve it?
I know I can’t keep running away, unless, I stay in Melb forever (ok, juz joking)
But the problem is I don’t have the guts and I don’t have the solution.
Sigh…

Anyway, I’ll be returning to KL on the 11th of Nov. Yeah!
I was supposed to go back on 26th but my granny’s condition has worsened so I decided to change my flight.
I was looking forward to go home.
But now that the problem has appeared, I wish to stay a little longer in Melb.

Life’s tough.
I hate my life!
Arrgghhh!

Cravings

2006-10-28T16:11:00.000+10:00

I was surfing The Star's website and I saw these:

Lemang, ketupat n rendang!
Omg, they look so yummy.... miss them so much!

Btw, in case u don't know, today's big news in KL is this:

Scary wei...
Luckily, there's no passenger, only the driver is inside.
For more info: Train Overshoots LRT Terminal and is Left Dangling

Haih... somemore say M'sia Boleh.

Missing home, again...

2006-10-18T23:57:00.000+10:00

Hmmm… how shall I start?

After a month or 2 after I arrived in Melb, my granny was diagnosed with leukaemia.
Before this, she has been suffering from some blood disorder, which is not life threatening, but it has worsened to be leukaemia.
Two months ago when she needed blood transfusion, I couldn’t do anything even tough I have the same blood group as her since I’m already in Melb.
I felt so helpless.
Yesterday, while she’s in the hospital, she asked my mom when will I return to KL.
Though I’m not her favourite among all my cousins, she still looks forward for me to go home.
And mind u, she didn’t ask about her own daughter who’s in Canada.
Now, I feel even more helpless since my exams start next week and I couldn’t go home.

Now that I’m far away from, I learnt to appreciate my family more.
Before I came here, I used to think that migrating to countries like UK n Australia is good cos u can earn more money and there’s more social benefits compared to Malaysia.
Yes, without money u can’t survive but money is not everything.
Now that I’m here, I’d like to be closer to my family back home.

Sometimes I wonder what’s the use of people migrating away from their home country, being away from their family, relatives n friends.
When I look at cousins who grew up in Melb, I thought to myself, I wouldn’t want my children to be like them.
Not that they are bad or anything but they know very little about their roots compared to me.
They are educated and smart yet they can’t really converse in their own mother tongue.
You may think that their parents are at fault but I feel it’s not easy for them to teach their children everything about their roots.

Nevertheless, I’m thankful that technology has enabled me to keep in touch with my family, friends and of course my dearest bb.
Can u imagine prior to the 1990s, internet and handphones are luxury and these things didn’t even exist way before that.
I really don’t understand how those students studying overseas survive without emails, internet, MSN and IDD calling cards back then.

Now, I could only pray for my granny and hope that I will be able to see her when I go home.

Bad day...

2006-10-16T18:10:00.000+10:00

I was stuck in the stupid train for about an hour on the way home from uni.
Another train, ahead of the train I was on, broke down, and my train was in between the stations.
So, all of us can't get down from the train and we're just sitting there waiting for an hour.
WTH?
Why isn't there a tow truck or something for trains???
Why can't they arrange another train to stop right beside our train so that we can hop on it and get down from the nearest station and take alternative transportations???

And this morning I just got one of my group assignment back.
We spent about 10 weeks on the damn assignment and guess what?
We only got a pass grade. WTH?
I was expecting a credit as we spent so much effort on it.
Are we not smart enough or is the lecturer too strict?
I was looking for some motivation to study for exams but now I lost my confidence as well.
Sigh...

Right now, I just feel like going home.
Study so hard for what?
After all, I'm a girl.
I should just go home, get married and live happily ever after.

中秋节快乐!

2006-10-06T23:00:00.000+10:00

All these festivals and other holidays remind me of home.
Like Iris, I miss those lanterns, pamelos, and family dinners.
I don't really fancy mooncakes though.

A friend of mine wished me "中秋节快乐!" today.
But in my heart I thought there's nothing to be happy about with all those assignment due datesss and presentationsss lining up next week.
Tomorrow is Saturday but I've to go back to uni.
What did I do to deserve all these?

And Isetan KL is having sale and I'm not able to be there =(
Can someone bring Isetan to Melb? ;P

2 years and counting....

2006-09-28T20:24:00.000+10:00

Today is our 2nd anniversary but we're thousands miles apart.
So sad...
Everytime when i see couples holding hands, kissing and happily talking with one another, I felt even more home sick.
It gets worse when the train is packed and there's no place to sit and there's nothing for me to hold on to, yet the girl in front of me is holding on to her guy, or should I say hugging her guy.
I can only wish that time could pass faster so that I can go back to KL soon.

I wanna attend graduation too!

2006-09-06T16:41:00.000+10:00

While I'm writing this post rite now, my friends and coursemates back home are wearing their graduation gown, preparing to go on stage to receive their testamur.
I can only sit here and imagine how is like to attend a convo.
This is so sad =(

My biggest mistake/regret in my entire life is probably not being able to attend the convo for my bachelor.
Another mistake is studying a postgraduate course.
I'm not sure bout other postgraduate courses but the course that I'm taking rite now is really giving me stress.
But no matter how hard or or stressful it is, I will have to complete it, so that I can attend the graduation next year, hopefully.

Birthday wish

2006-09-05T16:09:00.000+10:00

My birthday is 2 days away but I’m not exited at all.
Firstly, it’s because I’m overloaded with assignments and tests rite now.
Secondly, it’s because I’m few hundred thousand miles away from home.
Sigh…
I read Audrey’s blog today and decided to list my birthday wishes too but I doubt they will ever come true.

Wish list:

Celebrate my birthday in KL with my family, frens and most importantly my darling, which is impossible.
Attend graduation ceremony tmrw in Sunway, which is impossible too. I can only graduate in absentia =(
Money. Lots of them cos money is very important when you’re in country which the standard of living is bout 3x higher than ur home country.
3G phone.
Clothes, jeans, shoes, boots, heels, flats, bags, etc.
More time and less assignments, tests, tutorials.
Malaysian hawker food. I miss having them. Malaysian food here doesn’t taste as good as those back home.
To pass all my exam, assignments n tests at the end of the semester.

Ambition

2006-09-03T18:24:00.000+10:00

Do you remember when you're young, you have so many ambitions?
You wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, scientist, dancer, artist, and the list goes on......
But as you grow older, you realise you're not interest in some them or you're not competent in doing thise things.
So, you'll have less and less and less ambitions.
Until to the point that you've completed/ going-to-complete your studies, and you're gonna step into the working world, you realised that you may have no ambitions anymore.
Or you have no idea what you wanna do and what you can do.
The things that you wanna do, you're not good enough/ not qualified.
So, you just grab whatever that is available.

I don't wanna grow up.
I wanna stay young n ambitious.

Speaking of growing up.
I'm gonna be 22 next week.
Oh my god! 22!
22 then 23 then 24, 25, 26, 27....
No! I don't wanna grow old.
I wanna be Forever 21.
Ahahaha!

Ok, time to stop dreaming and get back to work.

1st of Sept

2006-09-01T23:45:00.000+10:00

It's Sept, it's spring.
Time really flies.
Every week, my calendar is packed with group meetings, assignments, tutorial work, case studies and presentations due dates.
I can't breathe.
Yet, I'm here blogging.
Nothing much to blog actually.
And I realise all my posts are alomost the same.
All also complain about too much work.
Sorry.
Just bear with me for about 2 more months.

Oh, ya. I did something good yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, while I was using the computer in the library, suddenly, i felt a handphone vibrating beside the mouse.
So, thinking it was mine, I turned and looked.
Eh? Not mine wor.
So, I asked the girl next to me whether it was hers and she said no.
She suggested me to pass it to the reception counter and so I did.
I hope the owner could get his/her back.

In the process of becoming Superwoman

2006-08-30T14:39:00.000+10:00

One of my group mate said, after all of us has completed our master's, we would all become supermen and superwoman.
So, you can imagine how much stress we are experiencing right now.

But, I don't wanna become superwoman.
I just want a simple life.

2006-08-28T21:08:00.000+10:00

Look what has the weather in Melbourne done to my knuckles.
This was 2/3 weeks ago.
My knuckles are better now.
Winter is gonna end....

Missing home

2006-08-27T23:47:00.000+10:00

Finally, I have the mood and time to blog.
It has been more than a month since I arrive in Melbourne.
I've been busy with my studies.
I'm loaded with tutorial work, presentations, case studies, assignments, group meetings and class tests.
There are just soooo many work to do.
After I finish one, there's another one due on the following week.
Why do they have to torture us like that?
Arrghhh! I need a break.
I wanna go home. I miss home.
I wanna graduate back in Sunway.
Everyone's gonna graduate except me. I can only graduate in absentia. So sad...
I miss the local food back home.
I miss the weather back home.
I have no life here.
Not that my life back home is interesting but my life is here is worse!
Everyday, I go to uni and go home.
And it takes me about 2 hours to travel back and forth.
Weekends, I would follow my relatives to do grocery shopping, so boring.
If I have a lot of work to do, I would just stay home.
And I have to control my spending cos the things here are so expensive.

I wanna go home.

Will I survive?

2006-08-08T22:57:00.000+10:00

It has been 20 days since I left home.
The weather here has not been kind to me.
I guess I can't complain much since it's winter.
Although today's weather was nice and sunny in the day but the wind blowing so strong in the night.
It''s scary to listen to the sounds of winds blowing at night.
It's like going to blow down the house!
And it's gonna rain tomorrow, it's gonna be wet and cold and it'll make me feel down and home sick.
I really miss the weather back home.

Pusuing a postgraduate degree is not as easy as I thought.
The workload is much more heavier than bachelor's.
I am loaded with case studies and assignments and tutorial work.
I really wonder whether is it a bad decision to further study.
But since I'm here, I can't turn back.
I must carry on.
I have to be tough.

Everyday I wished that time can pass faster.
I look forward to the sun set everyday so that I can webcam with my darling.
I look forward for the month to end so that I can quickly finish my study and go home.

Will I survive?

2006-07-23T15:26:00.000+10:00

Blogging from Melbourne

2006-07-21T23:07:00.000+10:00

I'm in Melbourne!
I just reached here 3 days ago and it's really really cold here, this morning was about 3 degrees and I had to wake up early to get to uni.
I'm trying hard to get use to the weather and the lifestyle here.
I miss home so so so much! Especially my darling hehehe....
I'm postgraduate student now, I've just completed my bachelor's degree and I still have to continue doing assignments, presentations, tests, exams.... arrgghh...
I think I need to read a lot for the master's degree and I hate reading textbooks! arrgghh...
Nevertheless, I'm still a student! =) =)

Anxiety

2006-07-11T02:24:00.000+10:00

The process of waiting for my final results is stressful.
This will be my last semester.
Everyday, every hour, every minute and every second (well, almost),
I ask myself:
"Will I pass or will I fail?"
I'm going crazy!

About the test

2006-06-28T01:30:00.000+10:00

The test turns out to be more difficult than what I expected.
It's all subjective questions. No formulas given for calculations questions.
This is too much, how can they expect everyone to remember how to calculate those questions.
Maybe they are looking for really smart people.
Luckily, I can still recall some of those things that I've studied.
My uni's exam is much better in the sense that formulas are given and I know what topic is going to come out.

Anyway, the office is very nice. Very classy, like a hotel.
Unlike the place I previously worked in, this place is 10 times nicer!
If they were to offer me a job there, I'll definitely work there, because it's really nice, hehe...
Of course I will look at the pay too ;P

I wasn't the only candidate there that day.
There's another 2, one guy and one girl.
The girl arrived first, then me, then the guy, he's almost late.
Both of them looked smarter than me, don't ask me why I said that, they just looked smart.
And the girl didn't bring a pen, so I offered her mine since I have two.
See, I'm so kind. kekeke... don't puke, k?

Back to the test. There's two parts.
The first part was the grammar and financial analysis test. All subjective questions.
It takes about an hour.
I wasn't sure how to answer most of it and so I just bullshitted and created my own formulas for the calculations. :D
Then, I waited for the girl to hand in hers first. She seemed so confident.
Then, we proceed to the second part, the profile test.
This part is about myself. They want to know my personality.
It's about 10 minutes.
So, it's the end.

The company said that they'll call me up next week if I'm short-listed.
But I doubt that I'll be short-listed.

Oh ya, one more thing.
When I told my mum I'll be going to the company for the test, she said her boss knows some people from there and maybe she can pull some strings.
What is this?
You see how much confident my mum has on her own daughter --> 0%.
Maybe she knows me too well that I can't get the job without her pulling some strings for me.
Sigh...

Quote of the day

2006-06-26T01:59:00.000+10:00

"A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man."

I came across this from Female magazine.
Very true indeed...
Hmmm... will I be successful?
But nowadays it's very hard to find such a man.
So, I guess I'd rather earn it myself.

Test again...

2006-06-26T01:44:00.000+10:00

A company which received my resume called me up few days ago and told me to go for a English & profile test.
It's tomorrow afternoon.
If I passed the test then they'll call me for an interview.
The test is going to be more than an hour long.
They even asked me to bring along my calculator because there'll some financial analysis question.
Oh my god, this is like a mini exam.
I thought exam was over and I can relax.
So, feeling a little kiasu, I'm actually trying to memorise those financial ratios.
You can't under estimate those tests, sometimes they appeared to be simple yet difficult.
So, wish me luck!

Geramnya....

2006-06-23T01:06:00.000+10:00

Today, while I was tidying up my notes I realised I made a lot of careless mistakes in my exams.
Argghhh! Geramnya. %^!*&$#$@?
What's wrong with my brain?
It doesn't seem to function well during exams.

Sleeplessness...

2006-06-21T04:40:00.000+10:00

Is there such a word? Insomnia sounds serious though.
Anyway, the point is that I can’t sleep. It’s 2.15am.
I’ve just finished my exams today. Hooray!
Because of exams, I’ve been staying up late to study, I can’t study during the day time. For the past 3 weeks, I’m like living in another time zone, I study when everyone’s asleep and I slept till 11-12 noon, when its almost lunch time. So now I’m trying to adjust my sleeping time back to normal.

I’m really glad that exams is over, this will be my last examination, well hopefully.
Results will be out next month, so at the mean time, I’m looking for a job.
Actually, I intended to further my studies but if I were to go to Melbourne next month, it’s too rush. If I wait til next year to start the master’s program, it’s too long. Sigh…
So now I tell myself that if I pass the exams, I shall start work.
If the job is a good deal, then I probably wouldn’t want to further study.
If it’s a bad one, I’ll probably work for 6 months and go for the master’s.
And if I passed all my subjects, I will graduate in Sept! Can’t wait, can’t wait, hehehe…
God, please help me pass everything this time.

Nothing to blog about actually, but I can’t sleep yet feeling very tired.
I guess I shall try to sleep. Good nite.

Stressed!

2006-06-01T16:59:00.000+10:00

I was busy with assignmentssss for the past 2 weeks. Finally, they're done and now it's time to study for exams. Argghhh... no time to relax. Stressed.
This is my very last semester, I really hope I can pass everything.
But I haven't actually start studying, first paper is on the 8th of July, I'm just staring at my notes.
Some more, my neighbours are renovating their houses, one at the back and one at the front, the sounds of drilling and knocking and whatever is sooooo disturbing!
I wanna shift house!

Again...

2006-05-19T01:06:00.000+10:00

Refering to the post "BeeYam should read this", the same situation happened again...
This time it's my bf who has mistaken BeeYam as me, yes my bf.
It also happened while we're MSN-ing.

The conversation goes something like this:
Jo: y there r 4 pretty girl there lah........ (refering to the pic)
Jo: i think that 1 sitting in the right hand side no 2 is the prettiest
Me: ya meh?
Jo: sorry on the left i mean
Me: hum...
Jo: sorry bb

Was it something wrong with the pic or what?

A baby mouse in my house!

2006-05-14T16:27:00.000+10:00

Last night, a baby mouse came into my house through the front door while I was watching tv in the living room.
My mum was there too, she screamed.
We didn't know how to get rid of it.
So I looked into the store room for the mouse trap but I don't know how to use it.
And right now it's still in the living room.
So, I'll be staying in my room until it's gone.
I'm praying hard that it wouldn't come to my room! hehe...

My Love Life Secrets Revealed

2006-05-14T00:46:00.000+10:00

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.
You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't?
You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky.
In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm.
Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high.

Your Love Life Secrets, Revealed

Hhmmm... quite true but it says that I will have a few true loves, I wonder how many is a few.

Men are like...

2006-05-08T17:55:00.000+10:00

A friend forwarded an email to me and I would like to share it here.
Here it goes:

Men are like... Laxatives... They irritate the shit out of you.
Men are like... Bananas... The older they get, the less firm they are.
Men are like... Weather... Nothing can be done to change them.
Men are like... Blenders... You need One, but you're not quite sure why.
Men are like... Chocolate Bars... Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.
Men are like... Commercials... You can't believe a word they say.
Men are like... Department Stores... Their clothes are always 1/2 off.
Men are like... Government Bonds... They take soooooooo long to mature.
Men are like... Mascara... They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
Men are like... Popcorn... They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
Men are like... Snowstorm... You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
Men are like... Lava Lamps... Fun to look at, but not very bright.
Men are like... Parking Spots... All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

I agree to most of them but I didn't understand the department stores part.

Lunch @ HoneyBee

2006-05-07T22:05:00.000+10:00

Yesterday I had lunch with some of my friends at Honey Bee SS2.
I haven't seen some of them for a long time so it was great meeting up with them.
There's nothing special about the food there but the interior of the place was quite nice.
We sat there for about 2 hours talking, eating, laughing and took some pictures too.
Here's some of the pictures.

It feels like high school again while hanging out with them, i think especially with LaySye around, she's so cute...
I miss high school!!

How You Are In Love

You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often.
You tend to take more than give in relationships.
You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.
You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.
You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

How Are You In Love?

Must exercise!

2006-05-01T00:57:00.000+10:00

These days, I feel tired easily, even if I didn't do much for the day. I don't know why, maybe I lack exercise. I haven't exercise for like sooo long, I can't remember when's the last time I exercised. Everytime I wanted to start exercising, I give myself many excuses, well basically I'm just lazy. Yes, I admit it. Hehehe...

So from now on, I must start to exercise!

Time flies...

2006-04-25T01:12:00.000+10:00

One week’s Easter break has ended. Holiday came and went just like that.
So this morning I dragged my lazy bones out of bed and went to class. Somehow I can sense that the lecturer is going to cancel the class. And I was right. It’s wasting my time to wake up so early and go to uni. Maybe I should also self-declare my holiday like Aud hehehe…

Stupid online applications

2006-04-23T21:58:00.000+10:00

I’ve been using my holiday to update my resume and to apply for jobs since I’m in my last semester. So far, I’ve completed 2 online applications to 2 banks. Online applications are tedious (to me lar) because I have to fill in the blanks one by one. Then, after filling the application form, I have to double check and double check in case I have any typo errors.
For the first application, they have the assessment test where I need to answer some, well not some it’s quite a lot actually, questions in a given time limit. The questions are generally about describing myself and I was given multiple choices to choose from. But after spending hours filling in the form and answering the questions, at the end, the system told me that my profile did not match what they are looking for. So I told myself never mind, maybe I did not do well in the test.
For the second one, I only have to fill in the application form which means I just need to give them my details. There’s no online test. So after filling in, I clicked to submit the form and within seconds, the system processed my application and at last they also told me that I was not suitable for the job. WTF?
For the first test I can understand because they provided me with the test. But the second one only has my details. I really don’t understand how their system can judge my details. I did not even give them my full results. I really wonder what they look for. So in the end, I just emailed my resume to them, just to try my luck.
