Interesting weekend and now back to work~!

Oh yea...coming to the end of the month...which means...PAYCHECK time~~~!!! wooohoooo...not expecting a lot though, since I started a week later into the month. But the joy of receiving my own hard earn cash~! Well..considering all the debts to settle, there's nothing left in that pay anyway. BUT still..it's my first OFFICIAL pay! ( The training one doesn't count, that was like 3 months and what I got was still lesser than my full pay ...if i'm given that full amount )

Anyways, interesting weekend. Went to Windmill in SS12 to makan and bid farewell to Mr Zheng...he's off to UK to further his studies. And it was also a gathering of a few of us who havent seen each other since...months. Great to see everyone in good shape. And hearing that one of my friends will be heading South Pole for his research. Interesting eh? He'll get to see penguins for real~! But that will happen next year. Another friend got himself into another industry. The Oil & Gas, he just got his "passport", it's more of a safety course. Gone through simulations of helicopter overturning, crashing into the swimming pool and ....some other emergency situation. Sounded quite interesting I must say.

Then it was Sunday. Shopping day? I din really shop, just bought a pareo with Pei Jet. She's the one with the shopping spree I guess. Was at The Curve....first time~! Nice place. Wanna go there again some other time. The flea market is good too.

So the assignments are out. Heading down south today with my colleague. But might be spending merdeka day there, not sure, but it'll be the first celebrated outstation ...fuuhh...said it as if I actually celebrate it.. :P Well, it's a holiday which I wasnt in Klang Valley...just put it that way. So wanted to join my friends in PD,but work comes first. Now it's just sitting around and waiting for time to go off.. Let's hope I get to come back tomorrow..

Freedom..for a day !!!

Well, it's more of peace and quiet at home for a day. Sad to say, granduncle had passed away and parents had to make their way to Kelantan to attend the funeral...That only means FREeeeeeeDom for that short time. Sigh, so disappointed at myself for feeling this way... but then again, it was time for granduncle to go since he's old and with Alzheimers. Better for all.

So...with parents not being around, obviously unleashing the devil in me. Didn't know how desperately I needed that freedom till today. But it has an expiry date though. Yea...by tmr it's all gone.......... So wat's up for today? Erm..nothing much, my 2nd interview is this evening provided that I don't get sent off to somewhere else. If I don't then it's just gonna be interview, then dinner..then balik....or probably get a junior to yumcha or something like that. But I know it's gonna be checkup time tonite. Hmm... no chance to stay home late also. Sighh.... plus it's a working day tomorrow.

I don't really know what else to put in already. Already told my friend bout the date from hell I had over the weekend. I just want to put that behind me..and hoping that he gets the hint.

So where do I go from here?

There seems to be so much of the same thing that's happening to me...It gets repetative and I seem to fall into the same thing over and over again... and yet it's still a tough journey to find love. Been watching this show that shows successful women who went dating online coz they gave up looking for love among them so internet was the best way to do it. Hope I don't need t o resolve to that. Anyway, was on an official date today (think it's the first where a SINGLE guy asks me out and we went out just the 2 of us :- meal, movies, walking @ shopping mall) . I wouldn't say we click that much. Since we were brought up differently, mixed with different people all our life, there's this mismatch in frequency and chemistry between both of us. Probably takes time to develop the feeling, but I guess with my head and heart thinking of someone else, that's kinda hard to happen. But that someone else is someone I will never get hold off...darn...I had to make things complicated in my life.

The date was in Midvalley by the way. We ate and then watched Bewitched. Erm, one thing for sure, I can surely tell you that he reminds me a whole lot of my friend...as in size and some part of his attitude. But he's full of philosophy in life and he quoted the same line as my dad~!! In my heart, I was screaming "OMG~!I'm dating my dad~!" Well, don't get me wrong, nothing wrong bout my dad, just that the idea of him being the dad, and I'm controlled and without freedom. NOT GOOD! I knew instantly we don't click but I know we can be friends. And we shall keep it that way. I'm not sure he's pursuing me or just wanting to be friends...since I'm new in office and he sounded like he needed more people on his side in that cold cold working environment. He's been calling and messaging for the past 2 weeks. And he keeps on saying that girls should make up and dress up when going out...Frankly, I was offended. I din say it out...but I did tell him it's not my thing and I'm comfortable just the way I am. If he really has a problem with that, there's nothing I can do about it. Language barrier, not much though, but I do prefer an English speaking partner....well, more English-educated partner to be exact I guess. I don't think I can fit into his Chinese-ed world... and I have this feeling that he's gonna be those "sticky" type of partner. So I think the next step, I shall just remind him that we're friends.

And in the mean time. I need to clear off some messed up feelings I'm having. I don't get it when all the compatible guys are so out of my reach...WHY? Will I ever find him? I think this is a question that's the most difficult to answer than any interview question~!! So, where would I end up? Where do I go? Hmmm.....

I have no life...

Kinda sad, when there's a suggestion to watch a movie, I need to ask back, what's showing? Imagine, there used to be like weekly cinema outing just to catch the latest movies..especially opening night. Friend was teasing that I've only started work like 2 weeks and already felt that, he was working for the past ...about 5 years I guess....and he lost life sooo long dy. Well, guess u really need to be in that situation to feel it.

SO...this is my 2nd week....already Friday. I got back on track with my date and time. Used to be so lost about that..since I was wasting it all away. I finally get call back for 2nd interview. My first 2nd interview experience...and it's with a gwai lou. Just want that experience. Don't think I'm jumping ship just yet. This seems to be a field that can grow in... but will check out what that company has to offer. More security for my parents for sure. Shift job, indoors only. Sounds a lot more boring than this. I'll just go there and see what happens. Only told a couple of my friends bout it, even at work lar...but I hope they dun tell boss la.

Sigh..another super early day in office, almost 830 dy..think i hear footsteps or not.... I'm gonna blog every morning that I'm here early la. Want to get a wireless LAN soon lar. So can online from the lounge area. But no money input just yet...so will KIV a lot of stuff. And that should be all for this entry.

Work work...

It's funny how you want something so much that when you get it, you prefer of not having it. Havent felt that at work yet, i feel i have a lot to learn and things will get pretty interesting...well..at least for now. Coz i'm new in this, and new input just gives that adrenalin rush to know more. But i gueess, once I get as old as some senior engineers here, guess that will be the time I'll stop...my gosh...i just heard they make like a quarter of a million in 4 months..!!!! 5 figure paycheck....something to look forward to after all. haha..IF i stay in the line. dunno yet....i might, since it's not that bad after all rite...ppl here are nice. willing to teach. So it's all ok...FOR THE TIME BEING. I'm not in that work stress i see them in. I see the senior engineer cracking his head just to plan out something. And losing that much hair~~!!!

So this marks my 2nd week of work. One week in Sunway. First week with my new car!! yea...drove to work today. muahahaha..did just fine. Parking are ample in the building..coz it's freaking expensive~!! but i heard i get to claim...so dun care! convenience sake. Everyone's like so excited for me...haha...but it's time I get independant la...plus, I drove the company car to KL the other day. I got my mom all freaked out.Could see the expression on her face. She's frantically searching for my cousin to get my personal life insurance.

So..this will be another day at work. Reached office like so early, an hour before time. How I wished I could clocked all this. Anyway..hoping for a good day today....

The Continuation...

What to say? Once again disappointed with the uni management, but don't really care once the event is over. It was a merry event, everyone getting back together. Everyone was chatting away during the speeches. As I said last time, I knew when the uni song plays, I will start crying. Tried holding my tears back. What a wonderful 5 years... been through it all, the happy, the sad, the stress, the satisfaction~! Although after the convo, didn't get to take pics with all the people I knew...I'm sure we'll have a chance to do it again anytime in the future. It was indeed a memorable convo...first time in my life I was holding 2 big bouquets of flowers. A bouquet from my friend and one from my parents. It was then close to 3 hours of photo taking. Oh ya, old friends came to visit and I got two more graduation presents.2 bears...

Need to check out my pathetic scroll... ( as in the official cert after that 5 years of studying ) , it's like half of an A4 cardboard like card, with a few sentences. Nevermind that lar, guess the hi-tech part is the E-Scroll. Yea, I have a digital version of my scroll...Not that I'm gonna forward it out or anything already. Came a bit too late also rite? I could have used it for job application last time. Anyway, it's displayed on the living room cabinet already. Oh ya, had my studio pic taken in Singapore. ..can't wait to see the pics. Waiting for my bro to send it back to me. Wonder how I looked with the awkward posing sessions. So proud of myself at the graduating ceremony... Don;t ask me why, it's just the feeling. The sense of achievement I guess. It was a tough journey and it was great to have the ceremony to mark the end of it. Although not that happy with that arrangement of the graduates heading up to receive the scrolls. No acknowledgement of the Class of Degree that I achieved. That's the down part of it.

Alrite...got some chores to settle....

WoooHooo....first week of work~!

Oh yea...incredible week. The week didn't start out right. First day of work, awkward day. No one asked me to join them for lunch. So much for the welcome eh? But that was first day...trying to adapt with the time, got so sleepy with the docs that I have to read, I think I dozed off somewhere in the middle. The introduction part was a bit weird...all like din expect me to join as RF Engineer. Think some of them was surprised. Heard from a staff that I might be the only female engineer...well, not sure bout that, but I know there's a lot of male engineers. At the end of the day, not much of communication established...The next day, better...coz since I talked to one of them, he was nice enough to ask me to join them for lunch. Haha...what a small world, he happens to be from my hometown. So we had lunch and chit chat and the get-to-know-you small talk. I was talking to a group of 5 and I only know like 2 of their names. What do you expect? It was like more than 20 names for one time...and they had to know my one name. It was bad haze day on that day. Can still remmeber their conversation about it. Haha, that was 2nd day and by the 3rd, I was off to client site to work. And I think it's gonna be a long time....might be there the whole of probation....tilll.............long long time. kinda sad that I really din get to experience the stuff the head of department was telling me. Hmm...if no other fresh job offers comes in, think I'd settle for this already. Kinda sad that the interview I went didn't turn out good. Sigh.... it's gonna be a 3-year bond if I stick to the company. We'll see how that goes....but since started with the client site, had been meeting up with a lot of uni people. haha...talking bout small world eh? So that was first week of work, nothing much to sum it up, just pratically waste time in office. Should start to become busy soon. And I aim to pick it all up ASAP. Ok..enough bout work...

Convoooo...came n gone. Nothing much to say bout it, but I can say I missed out a lot of picture taking with some friends I wanted to take pic with. Sigh, but hoping can retrieve all pics taken that day. Will ever be memorable.... Aiks...so wanted to go on with this entry, but it's way past my bedtime, will be crashing down on my bed. Will continue this later...


TO BE CONTINUED....

Busssyyyy week ahead

So this is the final week that I'll go through as an unemployed graduate. Frankly, I'm excited bout the job. Although not paying me good enough ( considering all the bills that I am to pay for the coming months ...kinda gets to me I guess ) , but I hope it'll be a good experience. Went for an interview today, not sure which way it went, might think that it was a good one, might be a bad one. Chances to get in there will be slim I guess, since I'm up against all those more experienced people. But in the mean time, will not stop looking.

Anyway, it's convo weekend ahead~! Yeahhh~!! Quite enthusiastic bout it...can't wait to see all of them, and actually hoped that I could stay longer to hang out with my friends. Still considering whether to go down Malacca on Friday. Since a friend of mine decided to send me something ( I'm guessing it's a bouquet ), the delivery will be on Friday and someone would have to be home to take it. Quite sweet of him to send me something before leaving for Japan. So touched by these little gestures sometimes. It's a week of chores and a quick trip to Singapore to have the family picture taken. Getting my car also ~~!!! Can't wait...only down thing bout it was the petrol price increase. Stupid time to have that. Anyway, going to be a tiring week ahead. I better catch some sleep. Woke up way too early today....getting some shut eye.
