LAST DAY OF WORK!

Its my last day of work today and I am feeling so lazy and fatigue in work today. I just came back from driving more than 500km during the weekends and I had only 4 hours of sleep before I drove to work so I am feeling tired in my work today.

Since its my last day of my work today, I'll be leaving to Bangkok and Pattaya soon enough. I'm on a very tight schedule so I better hope there wont be any massive jam which would delay my schedule else I would need to chase after my flight. Somehow I'm very curious what I'm going to do in Bangkok. I've never been to Bangkok and it's my first time going out of Malaysia (besides Singapore) so I'm feeling very excited to travel there and explore this place itself. Moreover, I think I'll be heading to the beach area in Pattaya too so I would have some time to relax by the cozy beach area right after my work.

Past 2 days I had 2 crazy eating sessions in Malacca. All the santans, santans and santans were the main courses. Throughout the whole journey there, I think all of us ate so much that anyone would easily gain a kg at least! FYI its already my third time down in Malacca this year and I got a good feeling I never fail to gain weight eating in Malacca!

On my way back, I met a terrible jam near Sg. Buloh where everyone opted a tol-free road and I was suffering in the jam at 1 in the morning. Such a weird and late time to jam!

Its Beginning!

I've got two days remaining at work. TWO days!

However, what I'm more interested now is towards what is upcoming. My food trip will commence tomorrow and once again it will be at Malacca. Would be seeking for food for 2 days in Malacca before I come back for my last day of work on Monday.

I'm facing a little problem with my Bangkok trip but I hope things will go on smoothly. If its flowing smoothly, I would heading towards Bangkok on Monday and I still got no idea what to do in Bangkok at the moment besides eating + shopping. Well, hopefully can find something more adventurous to do in Bangkok.

I'm feeling so lazy at work now and I cant wait til holidays begin. After which I need to start my final year which I would only care when it begins. Should enjoy all I can, while I still can.

Today there will be a farewell lunch for interns where I think I'm the only intern leaving out of the 3 of us. Shall enjoy my meal at German Restaurant . . .

PORKY DAY!


I just had my second visit to this place with awesome pork ribs. I came back to revisit this place mainly because I like the food here. The first time I came here, was with my 2 colleages who were also my uni mates and we had a great time there with our first pay. It was also a request from Mango as she crave for PORK once she is back from India. She has not been on pork galore for almost a month so this is the place which I suggested to go to. Hence, we headed to this place with a pork lover and another one is an anti-pork person.


This time, we ordered almost the same thing when we dine in again since I have already known which is good. In this dish we got ourselves Pork-in-a-blanket, Dynamite sausages, lamb and best of it all the pork ribs!


Its the best of them all, no doubt. Its so nice that an anti-pork person would have this as well. Almost everything we ordered, were pork.

All in all, the food was great, especially when it was served with a pint of Kilkenny.

7/14


Just realized today is the exact day for Hungry Ghost Festival.

Well, since its the 7th month for the Chinese, it has always been described as the "dirty" month and its the best time for parents to nag their childrens, "Don't go out so frequently in this month" or maybe "Come back earlier if you are going out at night". Not sure if this applies to all out there but it definitely happened to me, yet my answer is always "yes, yes, yes ,yes", or "okay".

Yesterday I went to an Enlightenment Ceremony in Memorial Park. I'm not really sure what is the main purpose for this occasion though but its fully packed with humans. What I did was just resting under a tent with my grandma and dad while my mom went on with the ceremony. I was asked not to follow them to take care of grandma and another reason is that the place where they are heading too is overcrowded.

Anyway, for the coming days in this month, especially today, do be more careful. You'll never know what are about to happen!

The 12th Week

I'm already on the last day of the 12th week of my work with only 1 week and 1 day remaining. Seems like time passed so fast and my intern life is coming to an end soon, a compulsary job with miserable pay. In a way, it is quite relaxing working here, needless to stand in the middle of the sun but kept freezing in the middle of summer; needless to work on saturdays but arriving at 7am everyday just for parking. I think the people here are quite friendly as well!

The team which I'm under now is also planning for a mini celebration at Red Box because they have just received their bonus (interns don't get bonuses). It's gonna be abit costly but I might just head over as I'm almost leaving the company already, at least hang out with them once in the entire 3 months period I'm here. Good thing is, its no longer in Pav, so its gonna be slightly less damaging to my pocket.

彩虹


It was raining on a sunny day yesterday when I was on my way back from work and I was almost home by that time. I wasn't expecting rain yesterday as it was so sunny and I also wanted to take a jog at Desa Park City.

Shortly after I settled down at home, the downpour stopped. I got myself preparing to head outside for a jog. To my amazement, I saw a rainbow which was formed not long ago I guess. After jogging around this place during the summer break, this is the first time I've bumped onto familiar faces as well, but not that close to those I've bumped onto.

Sadly, after 2 rounds around the track, heavy downpour resumes so I got to head back to my house before I get all wet....

The visit

I will be expecting my lecturer to come over to my workplace today for a short visit to check on our progress in our internship. Pretty unsure what we are about to be questioned on today but hopefully things would go on smoothly. All this while in my workplace, there isn't much projects to be done. The unlucky bit for us is that for this year, the projects came in late, probably like 2 weeks back instead of during July where they called July as the peak period for the company. So, we, as interns ended up doing less work compared to the interns from the previous years whom had more work distributed for them.

What I heard from my friend was that the previous year had to go on OT quite often to finish the work given out to them. However, thats not the case this year as I manage to be quite punctual when it comes to the time to leave the office. One of the reasons which our senior told us is because of the economy, which has just recovered, or some might say its still recovering. Hence, projects came in later than expected and we have so much free time in the workplace.

Okay, I think the lecturer might be in anytime. Will scribble back sometime tomorrow if I have any idea what to scribble on this page.

It scared the hell out of people

Yeah, Its the weighing scale in my house.

I just realized on a Saturday night that the weighing scale in my house is giving out false readings. The readings shown in the weighing scale are usually heavier/fatter than their original weight.

So, it manage to scare my friends off as they stepped on it.

FAT!

Oh no... :(

My lap top has just been hospitalised. On a Saturday evening, I have problems trying to boot up my lap top. I tried numerous methods to try and solve the problem yet I'd fail. The worst part of it all its that it did not even went into the BIOS part which leads to a terrible sign, a sign where the motherboard is completely dead. The main problem might be due to overheating though. I suspect the problem might be also due to electronic failure though.

I hope my friend who works in Dell could help me out in it and give me an idea of what choices I'm left with now. No matter what the problems are, I would surely need to use up lots of $$ on this matter.

A dead motherboard would costs up to Rm1XXX while purchasing a new desktop would amount to RM2000. I can't live without a computer in my next year studies. I've got FYP to work on.

:( :( :( :(

My turn

Today is my turn to watch others eat while I present. Its a long ass presentation with a minimum of 30 minutes. I hope I can make it. One thing for sure, I'll be so hungry to watch others eating while i'm doing my presentation later.

After this presentation, I will be so free with nothing much to do but surfing the net.

Up and coming plans....


I just manage to book my airtickets to Bangkok yesterday. Had some tough time trying to convince my parents to allow me to this place since it has many bomb scares recently. However, there are news in The Sun mentioning that Bangkok will lift emergency rule in some areas which means its going to be a safer place to travel. Hopefully my parents will be able to read this news to assure them I will be SAFE throughout the journey.

Now, what I need to do now is to plan ahead where to head to around Bangkok. Talked to Gab yesterday and he mentioned a few places, such as shopping & eating and not forgetting to visit the Palace. Well, he even mentioned about places like Agogo Bar and also Ping Pong Show which I doubt I will get a chance to visit those places. Anyway, I need to do more search and ask around to make sure I'm heading to the right places in Bangkok.

I'm such a busy man towards the end of this month. Just have to make sure the dates don't clash.

Malacca : 28/8 - 29/9;
Bangkok: 30/8 - 2/9;
Singapore: 3/9 - 15/9.

Alexis - Tiramisu


Not sure if I blogged about the tiramisu here before, but its definitely one of the best dessert in town in my opinion. Its available at Alexis. It was my bro who introduced this to me so if it wasn't him I wouldn't know theres such good stuff available just that its abit costly.


Another plus point going to alexis is the ambience that is available there, especially on a Friday or Saturday night with Jazz band available as well, a good place to be for those who wanna relax after working for the entire week or it can also be a good place if you are with the right person. It's all dark in there and the only thing which lightens up the place is the candle placed on every table


What else can I say? This thing is just awesome.

Busy busy busy....

One again, its Monday and I have to say again that weekends is never enough again. I wisely spent both my weekends in a great manner.

Saturday was an awesome day, besides the fact that travelling to KL was exceptionally JAM! In future I have to remind myself to always leave like half an hour earlier to take into account for the all the jam. However, the day was made awesome with almost the whole day in Pavilion, dining and catching a movie before heading over to Alexis to enjoy some Jazzy music. Well, had like 4 meals a day which is quite alot and bumped onto Gab & ORANGE in pav.

On Sunday, I spent some time in cc trying to learn how to play SC2 but failed because we're not sure how the LAN connection thing works. Its kinda weird. After that headed over to my boss's housewarming, a giant bungalow lot with my colleagues and had a a longer than expected time there because one of our uni lecturer was there to LECTURE us. He can really really talk for a long long time.

Well, looking forward to the next weekends. Still have 3 more weekends to go before my intern is over :)

Freeeeeezing!

The past few days in office were so cold that I was freezing as if there's a winter in the office. Its not the first time for this to happen in the office because previously there were times where the office air conditioning system was so good until it gives a chilling effect to all the employees.

Thankfully, one of my best of friends who is concern about me bought be a Hoodie for my birthday after hearing all the moans I made on facebook. It helped alot in maintaining my body temperature with thicker clothing compared to what I usually wear to office.

Thank you for the present Mindy =)

Today is Friday!!!! :D

Yeah, weekends are once again around the corner! Feeling so excited and couldn't wait til the remaining 3 weeks are over. Well, I'll be having quite some time to enjoy over the weekends, I hope. Seems like I'm gonna catch a movie this weekend and in need to attend my boss's house warming party. Can't wait to see how her house looks like but more importantly is how will Saturday turn out to be.

I'm a very good employee this few days, starting working very early in the morning as I've been assigned some tasks to do. Next week Imma be so stressssssssful with a presentation to go. It is at least a 30 minute long presentation and I hope I don't hypnotise everyone who are listening to my presentation!

My internship


I've got only a month remaining in my internship now. I just cant wait until holidays for myself begin after earning petty cash from this job but its useful in the future when I'm to look for a job.

The first 2 months of internship was rather different for me. The first month was kind of busy and I think I learnt quite alot of stuff back then. When the second month begins, work load dropped and I'm doing almost nothing in office except my own project as well as getting involved in internet surfing and chatting. Well, its now the third month and the only thing I can do now is to ask for something more to do before I dozed off in the office after sleeping quite late yesterday compared to the usual time i head off to bed.

Another thing which worries me is the parking. I've always have to look for different place to park my car and I'm contented with where I park now. There's only 1 problem with it now, which is the parking is getting more & more crowded when I reach. Before this, there it was occasionally empty before I reach but now its filling up whenever I reach. Seems like more and more people are parking at residential areas and I hope for this month, I will get a place at where I'm parking at each day!

Okay, time to get my ass off the internet surfing and back to my work as early as 8.20 in the morning.

Office days..

Recently, there is nothing much for me to do in the office. The consultants seem to be busy with their stuff and the company seems like they are having insufficient project. I did feel quite bored with what I'm doing now compared to when I started working but thankfully they did not blocked any websites or IM so I could keep chatting/onlining just to stay awake.

I've done most of the stuff I'm required to do and now my only job is to prepare for some presentation speech. I will be dead bored to do this whole day because my presentation date is not set yet at all. Really hope I would be getting more stuff to do in the office rather than rotting here in the office surfing around. Its the best time for me to learn before I start my worklife. I think I could really learn alot of useful stuff here if I were given something to do. They do little bits of everything in this place!

There wasn't free "The Sun" available today when I arrived so I'm dead bored now after surfing net and completing my usual routine.

Oh yeah, Jen nvr ffk me yesterday. At least my jogging was so much more interesting with someone to jog with. Time passed faster!

Beginning of a new Week



Its Monday once again but I'm just 1 month away from finishing up my internship which is a good thing because I'll start relaxing for like a month before my new sem kicks in. The 1 month period might seem very short to me because I think its filled with plans, at least I will be busy for half of the month. I am still considering another trip to Bangkok which is still under progress. If I am attending this trip, it will make my schedule jam packed travelling to both neighbours of Malaysia and I might need to take a day off on my last day of work to travel to Bangkok.

Once I started working, I realized my weekends were limited. It was insufficient and I was hoping it was longer of course. There were so many things to attend to each week and its filled with so much activities. This means I'm using quite alot of $$ which I'm earning very little for now.

Last Saturday I just had a great time meeting up with my College mates. I was totally like a dead person on Friday and Saturday but the gathering made me feel slightly better. I was having tremendous headache that I slept for more than 14 hours on Saturday before making it to this event. The headache was really killing me before that so I just lied on my bed hoping things would get better.

For the coming weekend, I'm hoping things would go on smoothly and wished I don't screw things up... Well, there are still many days more to go before weekends arrive.

College Gathering 2010

I just came back from a college gathering and have not met for some time.

Time passed by so fast and everyone is about to graduate.

Some even started working as well.

Well, It was great to meet them all back after so long and I'm glad many turned up.

Thanks for being considerably punctual and being available for this rare event.

I hope there will be more to come :)

I wished....

I really wished you were really happy to hear the news and bless us of course instead of being all emotional... We can still be like how we use to be and I think you are just too sensitive over this matter. Please be able to adapt to this new situation, I have to move on as well, at a stage... Well, I will be very committed and will try my best not to hurt her, taking care of her very well through good times and bad times.

Time will tell and hope you'll soon be able to talk to me, like how you usually do =)
