what to do during raya break?

29th sept 430pm, a notice was issued by HR dept to inform all employees that tues is halfday and friday & saturday all staffs have to take paid leave. i was like @#%@$!@$#$@. deng! so last minute only inform that got whole week break till monday, everything also fully booked or overpriced. haiz. think will only be going back m'cca on wednesday only. can't make it for other places due to last minute notice.

just came back from yumcha session with li shian, mich and christal at old town kopitiam near chris's place. beside office got one but didn't go, instead come to mutiara area to drink coffee. how ironic! anyway, it's good catching up and talk cock. haha. and thank to li shian for the gift. hehe.

*gifts from li shian aka mata sepet

gonna sleep soon cause kinda tired. since started working, my sleeping has been around 11pm to 1am the most. kinda healthy but not sufficient. maybe i'll spend my raya hibernate throughout the weekend. hoho. thinking of it make me even more sleepy. or maybe i should continue packing my room with boxes from IKEA. hmmm... should think of something to do this weekend since i'll be free.

*cheap but nice paper boxes from IKEA

it's going to be another weekend, so it's almost 2weeks of working for me. interesting stuff start filling in this week. monday night was informed last minute to go fo dato's buka puasa dinner, since my manager is going, takkan i don't go meh? of course i went lo. damn far wei.

tuesday had meeting with some bank officer in centrepoint. after that went to the curve for dinner with chong yen. julyn, ivy and li hui. chong yen came up that day and went back after dinner. surprisingly i was able to use my staff id to redeem 20% discount off bubba gump shrimp co. hehe. 20% is quite some amount, so it's better than nothing i guess.

hari raya is just around the corner, so alot of things need to be settled soon as most of the staff will be on leave. especially those big event coming, got damn alot of things to do. though it might sound hectic, but it was quite fun too like choosing models to be used during those events. haha. weekend is here again, planned to rest kao kao this weekend. then on wednesday might go back m'cca since mom's cousin might have open house, can go makan those delicious raya food.

*no caffeine for me, just chocolate

finally, it's weekend again! and yes, my car has arrived too. *happy* although i've been working for a week now since tuesday, but so far i'm enjoying with what my job have to offer. hopefully more interest things will come soon. working life might be tiring but i'm coping well with it.

saturday night went for dinner at la bodega near bangsar village with jolene, jo neil, june, rena, ivy and beng hay. it was supposed to be jolene's advanced birthday dinner because on the exact date alot of us are busy with stuff. so celebrating it in advance!

*mojo jojo the birthday girl

after picking up all the passengers, we're on the way there. reached there earlier than jolene so went around to look for cake shop to get her a cake. or maybe a piece of cake. hehe. bought 2 slices of tiramisu cakes from alexis cafe nearby. gosh, that cakes is not cheap but it tastes good.

*2 candles for 22

dinner mainly consist of western foods like pasta, lasagna, soup. total bill came up to rm300++ but it's justified with it nice ambience and quality of food. can come once in a while if you're ready to pampered yourself with some nice food. probably after getting paycheck or yearly bonus.

*multitasking: camwhoring, answering calls and making sure shots taken look good.

next destination after dinner - genting. it was a last minute plan discussed during dinner time. ivy and june did not joined for this trip, because ivy is sick and june is tired. so only 5 of us going. the drive to genting was rather fast because we departed from jolene's at desapark near kepong. it took us bout 30 to 40 min to reach there. the weather was cooling and windy.

*2 girls and 1 poser behind

*inside the plaza

sole purpose of going to genting is to enter the casino. since jolene haven't been to genting for such a long time, we walked around and camwhored here and there. nothing much changes since my last visit in februaary with hay though. after 30 mins walking, it's time to earn some extra $$ from uncle lim.

*height does matter

*no mary-go-round for us

left the casino at 4am after few hours of gambling. some won, some lost. the way back was quite misty and dangerous as well because the visibility was poor. thank to jo neil, we reached jo's place safely around 5am. after sending hay and rena back, i reach home bout 630am. gosh, super duper tiring but it was fun to hang out with bunch of good friends throughout the night. it've been such a long time since i'm out for the whole night.

*wishing fountain that does not bring luck.

it's still not here yet

i was excepting a call today but somehow it never come. this mean that my car will only be out tomorrow, have to wait another day:( been driving mom's car to work for the 2nd day already and her car is not the least fuel economical one some more. nevermind, just wait for another day!!!!

finally i started doing some work today, as in some proper work. my assistance manager was a nice guy, brief me bout the coming activities and stuff that need to be done within these months. most of the activities seem pretty fun, so hopefully i'll have fun working in coming months also. i was supposed to go for meeting at centre point at 4pm but the client last minute cancelled it. kena ffk pula, so forced to drive back office again. i was halfway there already then manager called and said meeting is off. got jammed in traffic for nothing. ish ish. tonight going euphoria with hui rena cher jolene ivy they all. hopefully i'll be able to wake up tomorrow morning lah. hehe.

1st day of work

one word to describe it ...

BORED

the whole day i was reading past report because my manager was busy with meeting and stuff. although i do nothing there beside reading, but did learned alot about that industry. kinda interesting to know those facts and figures. hehe. and get a close up look at the 7millions SLR McLaren. *drooling*

work for one day and off on another. so fun right? thank god got public holiday. can sleep longer tomorrow, cause woke up early today. it is like going back to school days, only difference is my schools is less than 5kms away, while this is more than 20kms from my house. sigh. hopefully thursday will be more fun and exciting stuff. *fingercrossed*

monday blue

althougth today i haven't start working yet, but already can feel the monday blue that most people hated. monday such a depressing day, mainly because it's after the weekend, saturday and sunday, 2 cheerful day of the week. and partly due to last weekend mooncake festival. enjoy it quite alot because mom cooked nice foods and the people who came had great fun. haha. hopefully tomorrow i'll start my day off with a blast.

went down to kl this morning via ktm and monorail to attend an interview session. luckily didn't drive down because the traffic was bad, even with public transport, the crowd was packed. and worst of, my stupid shoes caused blister to my legs due to walking. didn't walk much with this pair of new shoes, maybe that's why it still don't fit my legs that well. i thought only girls will get blister for wearing killer heels, who know guy can get it too from leather shoes. haha. after the interview, went to kl sentral and meet up ivy for lunch because her office is located at there. lunch was so-so, but most of the customers there are working people. i guess food business around commercial area must be earning big bucks.

the salesman for myvi came over this noon to get signature for some documents. he said my car will arrived most likely this thurs o friday. yeah!!! finally, it'll be here. will be taking the same car number plat as my dad because don't what number to choose. and this is easier for my parent to buy lottery as well. hahaha. don't have to buy so many numbers.

so the day has finally arrived. feeling so sleepy now because just came back from movie with rena, cher, jolene and jo neil. thank to rena for the mama mia! tickets. haha. how nice if every movie also can get free tickets! if time allowed, might wanna watch it again with parent because i think they will like it alot. wish me luck for tomorrow! bye....

counting down the days...

my jobless days is coming to an end. yeah!!! but i don't know whether to feel sad or happy lah. i should be happy i guess that i got a job and won't be so bored stucked at home doing nothing. haha. bet lifestyle will be different after that. hopefully it'll be a cheerful one.

so these few days been busy preparing all the stuffs needed for working. haha. the feeling is just like after holiday, going back to school classes like that. need to get new clothes, collect the appointment letter, get transports, etc. haven't start working already spent money out. haiz. some more now don't really have much sales going on, so just bought some pieces will do lah. later when my paycheck comes in, then only spend more on clothing. oh, i bought some jelly mooncake also when i went shopping in 1U. the price is quite ex lah, but it looks nice and got different flavours. so chose 6 different flavour but till now still in the fridge. guess nobody dare to eat it, so probably will bring it back to m'cca.

today i meet up with liam heng at college when i went there to collect my completion letter and some refund thingy. finally managed to meet his don't consider is ex/current gf. suddenly feel like so old already because college full of young kids. another few more months then it'll be 2009. so damn freaky fast man! just hope everything will be smooth sailing for me lah. hehe. can't wait for convo next year. and if i'm able to save, maybe backpacking trip for me. hehe.

now it is raining heavily outside, before that the wind blew so strong that my house power supply almost get cut off. i was writing blog and chatting half way then the pc went off due to shortage in power supply. just hope this saturday night weather will be nice, with full moon in the sky. that way want to play lanterns only nice ma. haha.

d3cision time

to buy this or to buy that?

to buy new or to buy used?

these are some of the questions i've been asking myself for the past few days. didn't know searching for cars could be this difficult. haiz. how nice if everyone just use bicycle and cycle to work. no worries, no pollution, no pokai-ing on petrol consumption.

spent my whole sunday with parent driving around, looking for cars, both used and new. damn stressful man especially come to making decision on what type of car to buy, whether new or used one is better, how much to pay each installment, how much to pay for deposit, how much to loan and worst part is how long will it get to deliver the car. i'm really in need of car because i'm starting on 16th sept which is like 1 week to go only. after started working, i really need to save every single penny earned because the installment for car gonna take up quite a huge portion of my salary. *sad sad*. i might get even more pokai when work start compared to uni days. haha.

so my final decison would be the new myvi. quite comfy and practical. nicer design compared to last one and hopefully they can deliver the car fast. *fingercrossed*. if not either dad or mom have to fetch me to work. so school days-like lah.

emo-ful friday

emo-ful, means emotional lah. don't know why there's emotionless but don't have emotionful. hehe. anyway, today i experienced happy, sad, guilty, shocked, anxious, panic, so many type of emotions. can die wei!

okay, happy thing first. this noon got a call, the call that i've been waiting for weeks. not really for weeks, but more than a week for sure. i'm employed!!! no longer in the unemployement categories lioa. i'll be starting work on 16th sept, but i heard 17th sept will be a public holiday, so it is like work 1 day then holiday 1 day. super potong steam lah! but overall, i'm glad i got this job, because it sound fun and suits what i'm looking for. since i gonna start work soon, i'll need a car to travel around. part of my jobs will required me to travels around. so here come the panic part. i got 11days to find myself a car! getting a new car is not an option anymore, because it'll take more than 2weeks the fastest. so new car out of the picture. next option, used cars, but so many used cars to choose from, and even used cars also need to apply for loan since i'm not student anymore, no more FAMA funds for me. let's hope i'll able to get this done asap, because next week dad wouldn't be around, and next weekend i'll be going back m'cca for mid autumn celebration. confirmed doing makan gathering in m'cca since most of my aunty and uncle will be going back.

cars thing is tomorrow stuff so tomorrow also worried bout it. after dinner, went to ss2 murni for drinks with cher, jolene and jo neil. haven't meet cher for ages man. seem like after graduated, thing slowly to change. available time will not be as free as before, then everyone will have lesser contact with each other. haiz :( hopefully can do some gathering end of the year where everyone can meet up for either steamboat or bbq or drinking session like old times. missed those days! during the mamak session, i get to know one of my good friend's gf is who. damn shocking wei, but this is his choice, just hope he's happy lah. if he's reading this, i think he know what i mean.

oh ya, and i went for movie with michelle after that. i was rushing because i was kinda late for movie lah... as usual. hehe. so on the way sending cher home, i almost cause an accident. *phew* luckily didn't happen but that driver came out of his car and warned me with an umbrella on his hand. scary wei! he followed me until sunway there then came out of his car when the light turned red. that's the first time i got warning from stranger. thank god nothing happened! feeling guilty for my mistake, will remember it for life i promised... hopefully!

things doesn't just end here. i bought the movie tickets online so can collect it later at gold class counter just with confirmation ID, so don't have queue up like mad. however, the gold counter was closed when i reached there. it closed at 1230am!!! arrgghhh... big "S.H.I.T" crossed my heart! but luckily the fella at the popcorn counter helped me to get the tickets from the admin office. thank alot popcorn man! so, moral of the story is collect your tickets before 1230am. haha. money not enough 2 is pretty good, mixture of humour and sadness. the ending is very sad, so sad that the girl beside me keep crying nonstop! seriously cried until can heard her mucus flowing down. but the movie was really sad at the ending lah, even i also got tears in my eyes. *sob sob*. so go watch it now if you don't know what movie to watch!

mooncake festival is coming to town....

that's right, mooncake festival is here again so it is time to eat all those delicious, mouth watering mooncake. mooncakes nowadays got damn alot of variety if compared to olden days. last time there are few flavour like red bean and lotus paste perhap, but today there are more than 10 types of flavours available on the market. haha. maybe people want variety that's why the manufacturer also forced to come out with so many flavour. so of the flavour i saw on the newspaper are quite unique like chocolate with orea. haha. like sundae mcflurry la.

actually, i had that flavour of mooncake in my house. the mooncake is given by my dad's client, from baker's cottage. the box is quite nice, stacking 2 mooncakes in each layer. besides that, each mooncake is packed inside a pouch like small treasure bag. after checking the price on the newspaper, guess it costs around rm50 like that. quite reasonable for such nice packaging. ideal gift for mid autumm festival.

but so far, there's the only box received. hope there's more to come. haha. because this year might not be able to eat grandma's chocolate mooncake, since nobody is able to bring those mooncake up. maybe i should go down m'cca and bring up? haha. or maybe i can ask someone to bring it up for if they're coming up?
