things going on my mind :
it's my last week at work!!
charles & keith opening in 1U!!!
shoes or phone??!! so much to buy, so little to spend... :(
uni's starting again.. oh, the agony and assignments...
Happy new year to all my readers...
Kenny sia's page is currently under renovation... as of 3rd of Jan. 2009, 11pm... can't wait for it to be finished.. he promised to be back up by tomorrow...
Works ending and uni's starting again.... i dunno what makes me happy, that works ending and i don't need to wake up early in d morning and i don't need to bear those boring mid-month season where biz is half-dead and i have to call ppl for interview, or that uni's starting and there'll be new syllabuses and assignments and being with my friends and the fact that my timetable is quite spaced with monday off again~~... but one things for sure, i'm not making money anymore... :( i like using my own money for my own impulsive purchases.. recently just got a pair of green nose peep-toe heels.. which danielle and myself thought it was awesome.. it cost my pocket about RM50+, mum say i shudn't wear it to somewhere that requires me to walk long, rough road conditions as it will spoil the heel... i've just found out that heels that i buy nowadays are at least 3 inches and the most 3.2 inches high.. yes, I do think that i'm not tall enough... *rolls eyes*
For the past 2 months working in Bright Prospect, I've learned a bit about salaries, and employers preferences... how to be effective, how to look and place people at the correct category and job description, how to interview people, how to count salaries, how to ask when necessary, how to communicate and etc. so in a nutshell, i've learned a lot and am not hesitating to go back there when my sem. break's here again, though not that long, and it'll never be this long again... :( that reminds me to update my resume/cv and follow the correct format.. hehe.. previously i've been following my brother's simple format.. which also tells me to increase my expected salary as after the deductions of EPF and socso, it'll be much lesser... :(
Anyways... i had a blast last year for my birthday.... i celebrated it 4 times.. 1st was at my office with my boss and collegues... 2nd was a simple dinner with my family minus my bro(working in singapore), 3rd was with my foundation mates, 4th was with my 2 besties in degree... though we've known each other for a short period of time, we spent a lot of happy times together... so the 1st was a lunch with my company in d office.. had fried rice, KFC, juice, agar-agar desert with cendol, and a cake at tea time.. felt very grateful the fact that i've been there for a short period of time and will be there for a short period of time but they still celebrated it for me, they even bought me a crystal pendant for succesful studies... 2nd was with mum and pa... a simple dinner at bukit bintang in kepong.. 3rd was with foundation buddies in Halo Cafe @ Jaya One... ling hui called all those that weren't present the other day.. and each wished me, and we did a lil' catching up on the phone before the food arrived... we sat a while after food and waited for some singers to sing...l i felt super bad coz' they paid and i thought it was a together, sharing thing, so i thought i'd pay for myself, and i had 2 super expensive 'alcoholic' drinks + a teapot of tea, the bill came up to RM148 for 6... but that's not all.. they even bought a super big cake from secret recipe which i think is at least RM70+... funny things happened when we opened the box... lol ... the had writing on the cake.. but when i opened the box, i saw Happy Birthday yce... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.... J.O. got stuck on the box!!! they tried scraping the J.O. to put it back but as future graphic designers, they just drew the J.O. on the cake like writing on sand... hahaha.. after which... we played 'cho tai di' and the one that loses have to roll 2 times on the bed.. haha... i rolled twice, ling hui rolled so many times that i lost count, ling hui gave me a nicely wrapped present with a money detector, a cute mirror and a piece of junk.. haha!! serious, there was no present inside, just a trick... this was on sunday.. 14th december.. on the exact day, monday.. i had to go to work... after work, went back for a quick change and bath, drove to MV to meet jean n chi yee... they were both there already, asked to meet at Yo!sushi.. went there and met them there... did some catching up and eating and pictures.. food was a lil' bit pricey but the quality is quite above average... they gave me a DIY card and it was honestly the least expensive but most meaningful present i've ever received.. they also bought me a piece cake from secret recipe, which we all shared.. btw, the wrapper that they used to wrap my card was coincidently the same as the one ling hui gave me... heheeee... so they sang in the restaurant, i blowed the candle, and i fed them and myself... we also had 'sake'(japanese liquor) that we all share.. sharing is caring and i cudn't have finished it myself anyway... we had conveyor belt sushi, and tempura ala carte, and ordered sushi from the menu.. we shared almost everything.. hehe... once again... they din't allow me to pay.. the bill was RM180... i felt bad as well... i hugged them and thank them for such a great evening... so i din use any money for 3 days except for parking... after dinner, we walked around MV until they closed... hugged, thanked and bid chi yee goodbye, sent jean to the south court to wait for her dad.. chatted for a while, and hugged, thanked and bid her goodbye as well... my 2 aunts gave me RM 70 to spend at the charity event at Hospice @ sect. 14, my youngest aunty gave me a bracelet in a nicely homemade box and i gave myself a nice talk to be thankful for everything everyone did for me! i did not wish for a lot this year, i only wished for everyone to be healthy and happy, 3 times!!! i dunno about next time, but this is definitely the most memorable birthday ever...
on saturday, 13th december, i went to the twins for their 'open' house party for their birthday... met with my 2 "cutest 'boy-friends'" (quote: mum), whom i've not seen in ages.. fetched thiv and went there... met with C and Adrian, whom i'm happy to see them together... met with people, made new friends with nicky(nicole), munnie,krys i've had a brief intro sometime march 08' and nick(?, acquaintance maybe, cute nonetheless), went for a tour at their 3 storey terrace.. took some pix, food there was awesome!!!!! we had catered nasi lemak, lovely rendang, chachos and beef dip(super-awesome), sushi, satay, and mac n cheese which came out a lil' too late as i was full(i 'tapau-ed' a tub home :D)... we had JD Coke... and smoke and talk and laughs!! i so miss vin n ren.. they look so cute siot!! WE r all still wondering why there isn't a girl in sight yet... so as ppl played shots n ladders, the 'kdu-rians + 1 sesat utarian' chatted with some smoke.. :D went out with krys, nicky n thiv to 7-11 to buy cigs, came back and thiv's IC n driver's license were missing with her hp pouch.. looked everywhere and twins have to start bringing out the strawberry cheesecake trifle, talk about fat! C also brought home-made toblerone cheesecake... so there was a tribute and some cake smashing and laughs before we dug into the trifle and cake... after everything, we looked for thiv's ic n dl.. but to no avail... C was a lil' faintish and red from all those drinking... instead of M/D driving her home, i brought her home, since it was quite late for the twins and they have done a lot for the day... before munnie left, we had one last shot with kathy before she had to keep the shot glass... i downed it drove C home with thiv, den brought thiv back to 7-11 for another search before calling it quits, wanted to bring her to report but the pondok police that used to be there was deserted... so we said, lets do it in d morning... went to Hide to meet with Layka, Claire n they friends.. had some beer and a 2-3 rounds of pool, met with Jaclyn V's brother and drank whisky + sprite with him, played with his phone until the place closed... drove thiv home at 4.30-ish, lodged at her place and remembered that there was a police station opposite Metro prima BHP and the mosque... slept at 5 and woke up at 8, went to police station and reported some story... sent her home and went back to my place for a shower from all the smoke smell from Hide and headed to Curve to see the X'mas lights... met up with mum and aunt sucy there, walked around, had lunch, and went back home in time for 10 winks and headed off to Sect. 17 to pick my friends to Halo.. another long story ends... as i'm feeling sleepy now...
here's the photos from everything...
