Having MC today



Finally I had a day off with MC. Back hurts like hell now, doc said it's swollen, the muscle of my lower back. Sounds serious rite? This is the 2nd time I had a work-caused illness. Doc advised me to do something about the job. He said it strained me too much, both physically and mentally. True..

Another interview today. I didn't know I have to go through so many levels of interview for a job. Irfan said these days, employers are looking for a committed employee. Perhaps so, these long list of interviews are just trying on my patience.

The difference for me and other fresh grads are I'm working and they are not. 2 jobs and it already take me 4 days of leave. What could this mean? It simply means that I'm really into looking forward to change my job. Need a better pay, and a better environment, and a more promising career path.

But somehow, what I have now is already much better than many people out there. I really appreciated the work that has been given this past whole year. Even for B, i think he has a much tougher time out here, so it's really not something that I would want to complain about to him. All I hope now, is I can get a better job now, and he will get something that he could survive on.

Last weekend, I went to Kuantan to see B. I'm missing him a lot even now. Met his house mates and they are a bunch of fun people to hangout with. Just sad that how local people discriminate them. As we walked to the beach and in the town, I was not surprised to see people staring at us, but some even making rude gestures to us??!

I wonder what did they know about us or him that lead to such undermining conclusion? They know nothing but yet, they discriminate us. As far as I know them, they are not harmful at all. At least they are not hypocrites like some of the locals. Most of my foreign friends here had the same experience with locals. I guess most of us here just look up to certain foreigners, probably the fair-skinned.

Well B, I hope you have a good day. Time to prepare for the interview now. Another series of test that I have to go through, yet. Maybe we should just sit for a common aptitude test or MENSA and hand out the results of the test for interviews instead. That should be able to save some time.

Yep. let's get going now. All the best to me.

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...
