5 interviews down. this is tiring.. totally exhausting. i've rejected interviews for 2 firms. it's really not easy for me to choose, coz sometimes i don't really know what i want.

"thk thru it urself, wat do u want to do in the end?"

this really gives me the headache. sigh.

my gut feeling tells me.."go with ur gut"

biased.

tired.

Applications

I've abandoned my plan to submit resumes for job applications last month, but today I've applied for 12 jobs already. How crazy is that?

Meeting my new friend from CPA studies for food at Jalan Alor - Jalan Kejora then back to Jalan Alor. Hopefully it doesn't rain.

Oh oh, I passed both my CPA exams.. now 2 more to go. =)

Feeling poor again. So much yet to pay. Camera, CPA Membership Fee (gotta pay RM733 this month instead of RM718 last month :S) and new year clothes. Not to mention all the birthday presents I'm supposed to get this month. And dad's birthday is tomorrow, think I'll try to get a cake tonight as I'll be having dinner with gal pals tomorrow.

Chen has been so bored in Ipoh, I pity him, in a way. =P I wonder if he's back to KL today like he said he might. His innocent "Zzz?" sms late last night has resulted in an hour long conversation which involved blood, needles, poor kids in hospitals, past relationships and boredom. Slept at 3am this morning.. I need more sleep. hehe

Better

I feel better today, even though I'm exhausted. I wasn't sleeping properly, but then again I was up doing naughty things.. =P

My mood swings have lighten up just a tiny little bit. Dad is back from Taiwan and i missed talking to him. Seeing dad's lil cute antics are just so entertaining it's priceless. Mum has been great too, now that bro is back she's not really on my back all the time. =)

The wound on my right ear is healing up pretty quickly, it's been in an icky condition for too many weeks now and being me, not doin anythin to it, it has grown really ugly to the point I'd feel like cutting it off. It's got all the dried up plasma and everything (no pus thankfully!) and the itch is so unbearable sometimes that i scratch it til the plasma sorta leaks right down my neck. Yeah, it's that bad, wound was big enough for plasma to leak down a couple of centimeters.

Had lunch with parents today (one of my fave times) at some hawker place. My food came first and I started eating without mum n dad. Dad go this food and commented that mum eats the slowest and she hasn't gotten her food yet. Mum refuted to say I ate the slowest and that she's not at the bottom of the list anymore.. =_="

I usually don't eat that slowly, or at least I don't think so. I just want to eat slower because I want to properly chew my food (I always thought if I didn't chew properly I'd grow fatter faster) and that I didn't want to sweat while eating.. =/ I gobbled the last 2 spoonful of my Lam Mee (not very great, by the way) and then I started sweating.. =( That proved my point of eating slowly. Sweating may be good, but I hate to sweat when I'm not supposed to. Especially when I still need to look and smell fresh at the end of the day to go out at night without goin home for a change.

Another conversation we had during lunch - my weight. I have been complaining about my weight since forever, and I have yet to lose any unwanted bits of my body. I guess I jinxed myself from saying that I'd lose all the weight in Malaysia once I come back. My Aussie friends are sure gonna laugh at me.. =( But then again they don't really think I'm fat, perhaps except for George.. =P Anyway, mum doesn't think I'm fat, she thinks I look just nice. Dad on the other hand, who is supposed to be more conservative, says I am. "肥，你哪里不肥!" =_=" Sigh, I guess this is it. My dad thinks I'm a pig.. >_< hehe =P

Ms Emily from the office says I'm not fat (numerous occassions) then one day she asked how much I weighed. I told her the figure and she stopped saying that I'm not fat.. >_<

Azman from 2nd floor (who's a bit de 38/b.body) used the universal sign language to tell me I've grown bigger in the face and the body... =_="

I used to wear size 24-26 jeans, now I have to wear a 27-28! >_<

My face is already pretty square, with my weight gain, I can now use my cheek as a frying pan. Who wants a sunny side up?

I need to lose weight.

December

It's December..

I have yet accomplished all my ''realistic goals'' for November, but now I could not care less.

My mood swings are back. I think it's PMS. =/

Thanks for the hug, Lu.. The hug on Saturday was much much much needed. I think I still need some now.

Don't understand why I keep making myself unhappy. Thinking about unhappy things, doing things that would make me unhappier. This is dumb. Yet am I doing something about it? I don't think so. Perhaps I'll just go to sleep after this entry. Hopefully I'll wake up feeling fresh again.

Did not buy a single thing on Saturday, or Sunday. Bought some much needed sweets today, need to have more sweets around me so I have company. Yeah, sweets as company.

Thinkin of sis' engraving behind her new ipod - Happiness is my choice.

Okay, will try. But let me finish grieving and throw fits first. I want to stomp on the ground and let all that anger and sadness flow out of my feet. I want to cry my heart out and dig out my tear glands so I will not have tears to cry anymore. I am such a crybaby.

Stuff it.

I need a hug.

Horoscopes

found out yesterday that i won't be attending a good friend's wedding becoz of my family trip. one of the reasons y i was being moody? maybe.. hot weather plus orange-tasting drinks does not help.

shopping day today, will be my 1st trip to pavillion. guess wat my horoscopes say?

"Happiness isn't about acquiring more things"

great, just great.. hopefully i can at least get something today.. n hopefully i can be bubbly and cheery again.

Guess what?

i'll go straight to the point here..
remember last month when i said i won't be eating sesame seeds? click here if you don't remember.

i had them last night!
...

i ordered roasted vegetarian duck (really good) with peanut sauce n i didn't notice the sesame seeds in the sauce.. fish said i ate them.. n only told me after our whole meal.. >_<

"now that we've finished our meal, i wanna tell u that u ate sesame seeds"

-_-"""""""""""'
super speechless..

on another issue: my list of things to do
my mum asked the maid to clean up my room.. so my room is neater right now.. still need to throw away stuff i don't want. i'm trying to imagine an empty table (my table is super long, whole length of the wall btw).. am trying very hard to imagine.. =/

anyway, i'm still happy. thanks mum! :D

What Imma gonna do this month

i've been a procrastinator all my life. it's hard to change when i'm already so comfortable being a procrastinator. even harder to change when i don't feel much from the consequences of my procrastination.

i came across Phillip Humbert from one of my junk mails, and he suggests that people have lists of what they would like to achieve. He drafted out this template called "My Weekly Productivity Planner" which i think is a bit hectic (i.e too much to fill in! altho it's only one page). i'll start small though, i've always believed in realistic goals, so i wanna write things down as i go, and make sure i achieve them, otherwise i won't be able to do more.

side note: i entered an online competition yesterday, which asked me a superpower i would like to have if i could. i chose speed, as i could complete all my tasks quickly and be able to do more. if you're a procrastinator, maybe you'll understand what i mean. =)

so what i'm gonna do this month includes:

1. send out my resume (at least 5? i'm being realistic here, n yes i'm looking for a job)
2. go on the threadmill at least once (yeah, just once, laugh all you want =P)
3. clean up my room - study materials and clothes especially
4. apply for home internet connection, my 3G modem is so unreliable
5. register myself with one of the blood banks in KL *gulp* (otherwise my doc will nag me non-stop, n he does nag a lot)

okay lar, 5 is a good number, don't you think? i'm just being realistic, don't wanna be setting goals i can't achieve, so i've had goals set, timelines set (til 30th nov of course) and am specific with them goals. 5 resumes, 1 run, 1 blood bank. check, check, check.

very achievable goals, think some of you may even be able to do all those in 1 day. uhm, perhaps i'll try and finish them as soon as possible. will update as i go. =)

am in a good mood, *muakz* u guys.. have a great day ahead!

and it's Friday! :D have a good weekend.

Gross

Note: not for those with a weak stomach, or havin their meals..

2 weeks ago my parents n I had lunch in the office, economy rice..
I packed the drumstick bones thkin of bringing them home for my dogs, n I forgot to bring them home.

I have been away for all these while, n I totally forgot about askin my mum to throw the box away..

This morning, I saw a lot of sesame seed looking thingies next to my biz cards.. so I took them out to brush the “seeds” away..
Then when I bent down n saw MORE sesame seeds.. as I looked closer, one of the lighter coloured ones moved..


……….

I freaked out.. they were maggots.. I was breeding maggots in my office.. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I don’t dare to sweep everything out.. becoz I’m so grossed out.. I’m constantly lookin at my bin (when’s the cleaning lady comin!!!???) to see if they are crawling out..
I’m itching all over (yes I knw it’s psychological)!!!!

:( :( :(

Gross (times a thousand exclamation marks)
let u see..

see the guy on the bottom left? it's bleeding.. ugh..

see all those tiny legs? yer.. *chills*

up close.. yuck.. can u believe i touched it!!??!?? ewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!

- Note to Self -

:: Only you can save you from yourself ::

This serves as a reminder to myself, that if I do not work hard for myself, I will not get the results I want.

So GANBATE!! Work harder and enjoy later.

Good luck to all of you too.. =)

Peace out.

Blogging again!

I knw I've been absent from the blogging world for such a long time now, and there's never a better time than today to blog again. I am still reading your blogs tho, those i usually read i mean.. so don't fret! i'm updated, n i'm updating.. =)

This post is in response to Cely's blog about her IC pictures. we've previously talked about FUGLY ID pictures of ourselves and i've kinda dared her to put hers up. she did put hers up of course and here's me keepin my promise. >_<

here we go, let's start with my Lesen Memandu Malaysia (Driving License) :D

don't i jz look hideous? =P 2001 fat face picture.. i know it's invalid, i knw it has a hole punched on the side, but i hv my extension license, which will expire in 2 months.. so time for me to take new pictures!! happy happy.. =P

up next is my M'sian IC.. another T_T photo.. also taken in 2001..

no one told me i had to wear a coloured top, so i wore white, n was told to wear this super ugly black blazer that they had.. >_<>

this was taken in january 200....7.. yup, 2007.. if you can see clearly, i only hv half a side of both my eyebrows. half + half = 1 eyebrow.. =P

tot i was gonna stay in melb for longer, so paid for a 10 year license. =/ it was an early day for me, i woke up 8+am, then waited n waited for my test to be taken.. by the time i finished my test, it was abt 11am already, the sun was up n it was hot (summer at the southern hemisphere >_<) my face was sweating, i didn't hv any make up on (i tot i was taking my pic another day!) n of course didn't hv any with me as well.. =/ so u see?? at least i wore a green top (my lucky colour, i thk!), which went well with the license.. :D

of course i thk i look better now, even though i'm much older (n wiser!! =P). here's how i look now, a random pic taken moments after reading Cely's post.

*this is jz to make sure i don't look like a goon in front of u readers, altho it's not exactly a good expression to show you guys =P*

very candid ler wei.. i thk i look funny.. hahah i hope you guys enjoyed reading this post as much as i enjoyed writing it, even tho it's not much. fun fun.. =)

Cely, see? i got fugly pix too.. =P

Mum's Wesak trip to see Baba

Mummy has gone to India to see Baba, and returned happy and contented. Reading the updates on her trip, i understand how happy it could be, to knw that your prayers have been answered, to knw that you've done the right things, and to knw that you are loved and blessed.

I hope i will be able to see Baba soon too, perhaps i should start by saving up some money for the trip! prayers would help too, so i don't mind if anyone wants to pray on my behalf as well. =P

i miss you, mummy n daddy.. n grandma, n good old sabrina, sonji n speedy.. i love u all.. =)

*Note: To read and enjoy mum's trip update, please click on the entry title. Thx! =)

Chocolate + Andy's Andrew

Jonathan's uncle just opened up a chocolate cafe at Doncaster Westfield, n we went. apparently Doncaster Shopping Town has become like Pavillion in KL. it's a shame i haven't been to Pavillion. =P take a look. =)

Jonathan & Jacke

Me & Jac

Johnny tryin NOT to pose for me

Dark Chocolate - Yum

I told Jonathan he is as skinny as the bottles on the wall (we were on sugar high ;))

Then we proceeded to Andy's house to see Andrew.. Jack Russell and Maltese cross.. isn't he the cutest thing? he's only 6-month old.

Jonathan couldn't resist taking a picture with Mr Remy Martin =P

Jacqueline and Kin with the precious pooch..

~MY FAVOURITE PICTURE of ANDREW~

There was another reason why we went to Andy's place, though i cannot remember why i didn't take any pictures of him (Andy) and the main attraction.. Andy has a model Airport based on the one in his hometown (forgot which town in China). Somehow it just didn't cross my mind that i had to take pictures of his model airport, so.. Sorry Andy!

The pictures weren't too great, as it was night already as you can see.. and Andrew moves around so much. Does he remind you of Sony? those of you who've seen Sony's pictures would know. =) Adios!

Stardee

it's crazy, my exam is on the 2nd May.. n i don't even have it on top of my head how many days i have left to study, and i have absolutely no intention of even thinkin how many days i have.

i knw it's next next friday, so perhaps dat's good enough? i've told my boss today dat i'll take the whole of next week off, n the next next week i'll be off too. guess wat he says? "are u leaving me? are you threatening to leave?" well, i have thought of it for one. but i'm also really broke. see mz is always broke =P it's not a good thing i know, but my money is jz not staying in my bank account. don't ask me where they went. anyway, this exam will be the 2nd exam of my 2nd subject undertaken. i've failed this same subject the last semester, dat's the simpler explanation.

i do love my boss, my colleagues n everything.. but my job.. is jz gettin boring.. which really lowers my productivity. plus i'm in a rather roller-coaster mood swings lately, which makes it even worse. i've got so much on my mind, it's not really fun to stay at one place for too long. stayin at home makes me wanna go out, at work i'm always thinkin whether i should come out with excuses to get out n walk about.. when i'm outside, i jz can't stop looking and moving around dat i annoy myself with my restlessness.

there are so many things to talk about.. so many pictures to be posted, n so many events to cover. too bad, mz is not in the mood. sorry guys..

jz wanna say a couple of things..
1. Happy 21st B'day to Rachel again, we'll make it up to u, i promise.. =)
2. Johnny, being your aka n cookin for me on thanksgiving doesn't really equal making 21 curry puffs for a 3-week-old fren. keke
3. It's great to have met you (online), Clyde. The way you speak online is so polite, and so rare nowadays.. =P
4. I can't believe Eng Wei has got 6 badges on parking wars already!! i've just got my 4th badge (2nd for the night).. =P
5. I'm more bored with Mob Wars than Parking Wars, why huh? kill kill kill or drive drive drive?

all in all, i should be studyin, but i..
feel like goin out,
feel like drinking,
feel like partyin,
feel like havin a trip somewhere,
feel like shopping (i've jz got Myers vouchers valid til sunday, shoppin anyone??),
feel like sleepin the whole day~

n i'm still loving Sara Bareilles - Gravity.. girls, plz listen to this song.. try singing it.. =) *i'm lovin it heaps!*

(Please note between 2:53 til 3:05 --> she sings it in one breath!! or so i thk)

the clip does suck a bit, but i thk it's the original one n has the best sound quality. the rest are jz live performances, great to check out when u start to love Gravity and wanna check out if she can sing the same part with the super long breath.. =P i will tell u she can.. *star struck* i'm always in awe with ppl who can sing well, which makes the list really really long.. =P anyway, not important.. important thing is dat this is a nice song.. n it's one of those u play in the background one day n decide to play it over n over again the next.. for me at least. =)

enjoy the song, as much as i do.. i know this song is gonna play in my nano for a very very long time.. =)

Mood for Songs

i was just talking to Jeffrey, an old fren from junior high school abt singing n everythin.. he came to melb for his cousin's wedding and we met up. after more than a decade being friends, i guess it's only time we see more of each other. when Jeffrey was in melb, we went for a K session, and talked abt singing.. didn't know he was so into singin, n he was quite good! anyway, i was (still am) talkin to him on msn n we shared some songs.. here's my favourite Filipino singer with my favourite song from her... =) please note she also sings Jasmine's part on Aladdin's A Whole New World, Brad Kane sings Aladdin's part. enjoy~

Lea Salonga (with Brad Kane) - We Could Be In Love

before dat, he actually sent me a video of himself singing. the other day he tried to cheer me up by telling me he'll send me a video, n he did.

Jeffrey is just so good natured and kind-hearted you will not believe ppl like this still existed. anyway, i was advised to watch his video whenever i am down.. =P this video has apparently got all his frenz laughin n cryin at the same time.. happy tears i meant. i'm not about to cry happy tears, but i sincerely thank Jeffrey for his effort. Thanks Jeffrey~ =)

D50 - My 1st attempt

woo hoo!! my colleague Bruce has jz loaned me his Nikon D50 and this is wat i got out of it..


ignore the background yeah, was jz randomly taking it.. since i don't have a subject. then i've taken more.. my office.. also another random shot.. see hw much work we have to do..





then i decided, uhm.. nothin else better to do.. i'll camwhore then.. =P

my pimples are so obvious.. sigh, see lar, i uglify myself for you guys to see. =P my skin is not perfect, nor is it any close to perfect. i gotta learn how to not smile that much n smoothen my upper lip.. i mean, i notice that i do not know how to smile without thinning my upper lip. my mum n sis thinks it's fake.. =P it LOOKS fake.. =P i don't have dimples by the way, so stop squinting. =)

anyway, i'm off to take more photos.. hopefully nice ones.. have a good weekend! =D

One Sunday

Sundays are for relaxing.. today I have gone out with a dear friend from college. She's here from KL for her sister's convocation, and we've met up for some shopping at the Essendon DFO.

Huei Chyn and I

Bing Hong, Huey Yih, Huei Chyn and I

The lovely sisters with a (slightly) crossed-eye me

It's such a hot day you wouldn't believe it. I would say it isn't the hottest day to-date, but it's enough to make you sweat.. a lot.. It's been so hot lately, top of 38, 30, 36, 38, 39 degrees celsius.. such numbers just make you feel less fond of summer. Gosh, looking at my pictures, my hair colour doesn't even look like it's really been coloured. SIANZ.. what's the point of colouring it then? Maybe it's just to show how slow my hair regrows. And and.. Look how flat and "long" my nose is in the first picture.. So weird.. I got it from my mum. Apparently that's the significant trait my mum's family has got. Anyway, have just found out today that HC works in Singapore now. So I've got like.. a super big handful of college pals working in SGP now.. What a crowd huh? Maybe I should consider too? :P Nah, not now. ANYWAY, they're currently staying in a very nice place near the CBD, which is really appealing as I will be looking to rent a place in the city (or nearby) in the middle of the year. Goodness, I think I just change the topics too often. Shall stay focused.. *ahem* HC n HY didn't want to go karaoke with me today, which is a bit sad since I have been craving to go out. I guess I'll have to wait til this Friday when I go out with another bunch.

It's just really nice to see them again, then after meeting them I met up with Barbara for dinner. Nelayan on Swanston Street does have quite a nice TomYum Bihun. Sour and spicy enough. Yum!

I went to Coles after that to get some peaches for the week. Then I saw this!!

Couldn't resist dropping all my groceries and take a pic with it. :P Showed my sis at home and she said I looked like one of them x_x Just couldn't resist. :P I find it cute. What do you think? My standing position looks weird tho, like I was scared. Well, I did feel weird, the man offloading the meat was in the truck, still offloading. I just stood there for 2 secs to take a picture. For a moment then I wanted to put my hand on one of it for the picture. I mean, that's what people always do, isn't it??? hahaha, it's just funny. It's NOT GROSS!! :)

Good night my dears, have a good week ahead.. muakz
