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...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
