title: A New Phase in Life
date: Wednesday, January 20, 2010
time:10:00 PM
I'm in the midst of my 3rd phase in my life cycle I think. It's a lil' different from others, since mine has 7 phases, namely - Toddler, Teen, Young Adult (Firsts of everything), Adult, Mid-Life crisis, Retiring/ Reclining, Old Fart.

But the point is, imma start working next Monday (25th Jan 2010)!!!! I had many 'first's before working, but somehow, this event seems to be so much more significant compared to the rest. Maybe it's because I'll be away from my family-friends-significant other for 3 months, the fact that I'll be staying with my cousins means I can no longer run around the house naked- Pardon me, I meant to say freely. That, and I dunno my way around KL yet, so I can't go anywhere I feel like on my own.

Will be working as a temporary clerk in RHB Bank, the main office near KLCC. I'll be assisting the Senior Executive for the Group Secretariat department in paperworks. Tralala, how lovely. A desk job haha. I don't mind the job, really. It's for the experience after all. But the thought of being confined to a mini cubicle with a table full of Manchester United goodies (not mine) is a lil' daunting. But I shall do my best! Huh huh hargh!

Welcome to the real world, girl.

I loathe interviews and dressing up maaaaan.. We've been shopping for suitable working/ smart-casual clothes the whole day today, but to no avail. Where do people get all their nice office suits? Haha.

title: Blogger is no longer jobless :D
date: Saturday, January 9, 2010
time:4:39 PM
Yup! I got a job! As a sales promoter in Giant, Tambun. Lame job? I know. Low pay? I know. I deserve better? Hmm, maybe ;D BUT!!

I start on 30th January. It's only for a duration of 3 weeks. More specifically, only on 3 weekends. In short, I work only for 6 days. RM85 per day. So RM85 X 6 = RM510. Not too bad, on the whole.

And after that, I'll probably have to search for a new job again.

Toodles. Wish I have Yi Jun + Mei Sin's job. If only I knew one could work in Singapore even w/o Citizenship... *mumblesmumblesgrumbles*

title: Bad Luck

そっと抱(だ)き締(し)めて 壊(こわ)すように

Uuuuu..

What bad luck.

As quoted by my dad "Pada hari biasa you barely move from the couch, but the very moment you stepped oyt of the house for some badminton, you come home with a sprained ankle. Hopeless, hopeless. You should work out more!"

Went for a game of badminton with Kenneth, Pei-Qin and Jian Ai yesterday. Thank goodness it was towards the end of our game when suddenly I went sprawling on the court, and a loud CRACK was heard (well, I did anyway haha). Fearing for my foot's meager mortality, we all dived down to check if it's broken. It wasn't, thankfully (or not), so uppity up we went our separate ways.

It didn't seem serious at first, and it only started to swell a little in the afternoon, but by night, I was constrained to my couch, unable to move from pain. Argh. I didn't bath, and went straight ta bed at 8pm.

Recovered a little after a good night's sleep, so the first thing I did when I woke up today was to change the bed sheets and bath. IT'S SO NICE TO WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, listening to the birds a-chirping and trees a-swaying as the wind ruffles the leaves playfully. Ah yes, brings out the abysmal poetry side of me. BTW, it's the first time I wake at 5am during a holiday, so I consider this a record for me haha. My alarm sounds at 11am-1pm usually.

So here I am, typing mindlessly away, my foot wrapped in a towel soaked in ice cold water. Wishing for a swift recovery so that we can have our weekly badminton games~

title: KL + Comic Fiesta 2009 + Fun
date: Friday, December 18, 2009
time:2:55 AM
I'll be leaving for KL in 6 hours by train. Alone. Haha. Omg, I'm so nervous, I couldn't sleep! Comic Fiesta, here I come!!

Coming back to Ipoh on Monday. A grand total of 4 days and 3 nights in KL with Foxey. Teehee ♥ We gonna try Ice Skating in our costumes. I hope I won't fall... Else, the people in SUnway are gonna get a 'nice' view of my bum.

Seriously.. Japanese school uniforms/ Sailor fukus are friggin' short!
And Kelvin + 6AA gang are coming too. Perlu cari lubang untuk sembunyi.

To be honest, I'm only attending for the sake of meeting up with friends whom otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to see. I skipped last year's event. A tad regretful, seeing there seems to be new attractions, but otherwise it remains almost the same (2004-2007). Hope I won't be disappointed this year :D

Oh right. I'll be cosplaying as Kagura from Gintama (3Z-gumi version). No doubt 90% of you readers have no clue as to whom I'm talking about haha. Google "Kagura (Gintama)" if you're curious :D




I've been sewing and sitting on the same friggin chair since 10pm... 5 hours. And counting. Back hurts like hell. 'been sewing a doll for Foxey (aka test-doll). It turned out horrible to me and my dad, but Kenneth and Cheryl think it's fine. I hope it is. Memalufying lor. So damn ugly still wan give people.

His name is Xmas Kun! Got meaning behind the name k! It's pronounced as 'Ex-mass khun'.

The conundrum behind Xmas Kun:
1. Xmas Kun = Exar Kun. I came across Exar Kun while playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (K.o.t.O.R), and the name suck with me and just wouldn't go away.
2. Kun = Japanese. Kun is a Japanese honorific suffix, something like our 'Mr or Mrs' kinda function. So it's roughly translated as Mr Xmas.
3. X'mas is also the short form for Christmas.


Okay, enough rambling for a day. Gonna try to catch some winks, so see you guys in four days!

Adieu!

title: Today marks the beginning...
date: Wednesday, December 9, 2009
time:4:55 PM
... of a long holiday for me. I mean like, a really really long one.

'Cuz STPM's FINALLY OVER!! Teehee. So I went around the whole school, buddies by buddies, and give 'em all a big grin and *index finger poking cheek* kinda look, going "Happy~" cheerfully.

No doubt many people are plotting to kill me in my sleep tonight. Incidentally, the people I preyed on were only those who still has one last remaining paper tomorrow: Chemistry/ BM paper 1 ♥

But enough, let's go back to the holidays. Ah yes. Holiday. A word I both adore and loath. I like holidays because it gives me authority (yes, authority) to wake up as late as I want, game all I want, and do the thing that I love best : lazing around.
On the other hand, holidays equals an extra 8 hours in my daily life which was usually benefited/ wasted in school (depending on your person, I lean towards the latter), and I'm at lost.

So I went around looking at other people's blogs and posts, many I saw made lists of 'Things to do after STPM'. Ever the creative one, I too made my own list, albeit it's a lil boring, but at least there's something.

THINGS I'M GOING TO DO (No Action, Talk Only)

+December+
1. Bake cookies. LOL
2. Prepare costume for Comic Fiesta 2009 in KL (19th-20th Dec)
3. Go on a date with Foxey in KL
4. Chauffeur relatives for the 12 days of X'mas
5. Play waitress for aunt's X'mas party (should I wear a maid costume?)
6. Pick up cooking recipes and skills from mum

+January onwards+
7. Learn to swim
8. Take up dancing classes (Latin? Doesn't matter, just wanna move my boday without looking awkward)
9. Get a nice job with equally nice pay (not likely, but gotta do something worthwhile)
10. Wanna volunteer to help at SPCA.
11. Save up money for lappy/ a new phone/ Pokemon Soul Silver (DS)XD
12. More to come soon? :)

Tata for now! My DS is calling teehee ♥

title: 10 days left
date: Sunday, November 29, 2009
time:11:19 PM
Only 10 days left till the end of STPM. Not exactly the 'ultimate freedom' for most people, but to a student who lead only a student-life so far, it's good enough :D

Naturally I still have papers going on, so-
Q: What am I doing lounging here writing shite that people don't read?
A: Cuz I'm such a hopeless procrastinator, I study only at the 11th hour.

Waa waa waa waa waa waaa~!!

It's like a holiday yet not a holiday! My brain's confused as to what I should be doing.. Come on, who enjoys having to do hardcore revision during a supposedly long break. Okay okay, it's just my lazy streak talking.

So, see you guys in 10 days!! :D
