taking up the job

didnt have much time to really think about things...and the fact that my future Indian boss was a bit desperate to get a staff, he was really urging me to make my decision...and since the conditions are really not bad...so yeah, I've decided really fast that I am taking up the job...

...however, I am really worried about certain issues I heard but well, with the salary and most importantly the opportunity for me to learn...these are two very important factors to my yes to this offer....

however, one thing for sure...I'll be dead busy...heard that it'll be super stress with the super high workload...shucks, my worst nightmare coming true...more bringing back work home...sitting in front of the computer, doing documents @_@...sighz...anyway, yeah I really need the salary...my bills are chasing me like crazy....

hopefully I'll still have the time and energy and enthusiastic to blog in the days to come...esp after next week...we'll see....

before I end...recommending Stephen Wong's (TVB) blog : new post updated

Too GOOD to be TRUE!?

~26th Feb~
I went for interview just now...it was an interview over dinner...at the Japanese Restaurant in PJ Hilton...to conclude it all...as the title indicated...it was basically something like if I am ok, then I shall start work anytime soon...
as the norm goes, you would not reply immediately and would normally ask for a day or two to consider...so future boss said I should give him my confirmation by Feb 28th...and I was like, yes yes, I shall confirm by 28th then...but oh, wait wait wait...it's already 26th today?!!! aiyak!!!! my brain still suffering from jet lag or what?! lost track of dates...anyway things were as if too good to be true (in a way)...I now regret that I should have asked for an even higher salary? (i didnt think about reduction for taxes etc...anyway, still, there's a chance that I can bargain during confirmation upon probation....
but still apart from salary...things really sounded like too good to be true...I mean, I know how much experience I have, how much I weigh (not even half a pail full I think)...if this is really my future boss then I hope he would really remember what he said, things he promised etc...he said things in such a 'beautiful' way...to the extent that now I am a little bit scared and worried...the nature of job is sort of what I wanted...things are basically as I desire...
...and so, I am really a bit doubtful...I've never had anything like this before...so now the thing worrying me is that will I get 'cheated' into a company that is afterall, not such a wonderful company anyway?...hmm...it's so stupid to be worrying like this...but then again...what luck is this? it's my first interview (on the 5th day that I got home from Europe) and I am getting it already?...or am I walking into the crocodile's mouth?!

Driving phobia

Just on the second day I got home, mum got me to drive @_@
(I just dont really like the idea of driving around in KL...so I get a bit stressed up thinking that I need to drive to get chores done and all...so much so that I sometimes think that it could be a phobia that I am developing?)
...and it doesn't help that I am driving my sis's MyVi now that she's away for 2 weeks for training in the UK ..it's sort of her new car (a few month's old)...
so I am a bit worried thinking that I might get it scratched if I am not careful enough
...plus MyVi is slightly larger in dimension that my previous SLK (no, don't be mistaken, it's Small Little Kelisa;PP)...my father is having my old car now in Ipoh...so I must get used to this slightly larger car >.<
(I really wish to be driving the smallest car ever...how I admire those one-seater I saw in Europe...so small and cute and totally perfect for someone like me who could never park properly and have space-judging problem on the road;PPP) anyway..let me dream on...BMW one-seater...;PPP
...and mum got totally freaked out after the first ride with me ;PPP
(so then she decided that she can't take anymore suspension and that we take a taxi to the other place we were supposed to go, which is also slightly further)
..well, actually I didn't think that my skills deteriorated that much...mum's exaggerrating I think;PPP wahahaha, although I did forgot some basics:what-to-do the moment I got into the driver's seat (my excuse: MyVi is after all different...okie, very very slightly different from Kelisa;P)
...and then when I got onto the road (still within the housing area), I was driving so slow that I think those car behind me can't really stand me, they drove so near me (which I totally dislike) and then overtake me (I didn't even bother to look at the driver, for all I know I will get some expressions of 'no wonder, it's a @#$%X lady driving!' that kind of expression...
more excuse: I havent been driving for like 2 years...so things got a bit rusty :PP
and now I am dreading those moments when I have to drive into the heart of KL during peak hours...when u get even an angelic malaysian turning into a demon...and then you just get stuck where you are, seeing all cars coming from all directions as if they are trying to cram you....*cold sweat*
so yeah, I'd better really pick up my skills again...fast...
and probably also turn myself into a demon on the road...fast!!;PPP wahahahahaha...

I'm Home~~~

yep yep yep...am home finally~~~
at first I thought I'll be lazing around for at least a week...then I could do some blogging...(really wanna blog on my visits to amsterdam, paris (including eurodisney) and rome...
...but phew, it's only the second day after i am back...and I am already facing the pressure of job hunting...>.< (shivers down my spine)
...my aunt from singapore called and asked about my job hunt of course...(conclusion: will approach the head hunters agencies / HR solutions kind of agencies in spore soon..probably week after next after I come back from my grandmother's home...)
...and my ex-senior is also very kind to email me informing me of a position that I could possibly fill..(depends how good I am...shucks, my shallow experience might give me away...)..but I really appreciate it, love my ex-senior!!!
...will be going to career fair in KLCC next week...then back to grandmother's house in Ipoh for a few days (to report to all the relatives in Ipoh)...shucks, better be preparing myself for pressure and stress:PPP
and before that, really need to get myself a new 'make-over':PPPP....haha, must get rid of the student look and turn myself into a young professional career woman kind of look:PPP...this means getting my hair done (cut, dye, treatment...), and then also visits to the dentist and eye specialist...facial treatment...and all sorts of tiny details to settle...*sweat*
...and of course, not forgetting my frens...will probably be meeting up admist the busy schedule ahead (will be dead if i dont meet up:PP...yes yes, dont get me wrong... I miss you girls heaps:PP)
...so I guess blogging about my trips will be sometime later...right now, 'stress is in the air'...:PP

anyway, despite that, I've been trying to catch up with some TVB drama ....will try to catch our dear 林峰 in the Heart of Greed 唐心风暴 (need to get it from my fren:P)...and Drive of Life 岁月风云 (my cousin's having it:P)...right now am playing the Brink of Law 突围行动 (those who havent watch, do check out Stephen Wong Ka Lok 黄嘉乐 playing Vincent Tung Yat Long in it...hmm, probably I'm the few who havent finish watching:PP...but I must say I think he's not bad towards the back when the role he played became a vegetable)...and NTV7 is currently showing the Ten Brothers 十兄弟 which I've not watched too:PPP....(shucks, am I giving myself away, so called being busy but can still manage to watch so much TV:PPP...heeeee)

okie dokie...shall stop now as I havent even showered (nearing 12am now...still looking through my over flowing email inbox:PP and replying only necessary ones...damn stressed out by it:PPP)

...shall end by recommending Stephen Wong's personal blog:

back home on the 21st!!

other things apart, I will be 'on the run' from tomorrow until the 21st...the day i will land on Kuala Lumpur International Airport...muahahahhaa~~~~

8-10th Feb: Amsterdam trip with szeling
11th: Graduation ceremony in Gent, Belgium
12th: A day in Brussels with szeling
13th-17th: Paris trip with szeling
17th-20th: Rome trip with szeling and her fren
20th: Head home from Rome~~

with this it means that I will not be accessing the internet consistently until I get home on the 21st...so I will 'see' everyone again after that...Happy Chinese New Year to all and c u all...;-)

Consequences of the infamous sxx scandal...

I know this post might irritate some people, and I might get hammered...but consider the freedom of speech...and I myself do feel that this is a very disheartening incident...
it's about...oh well, those who read HK entertainment news will know that incident..what else...yes, it is the incident related to some pictures being revealed...
actually I've not given too much thought to such a news or the incident...until I spoke to mum (of which this entertainment news became one of our topics of conversation)...
mum said things in a very harsh manner...
she asked me to 'wake up' ...there's no need to support these people (of the entertainment circle) whom she labeled as being 下流...maybe she's being overboard by saying..all of them in the entertainment circle...
of course I was reluctant to take her comments at first..I have somewhat been an avid 'supporter' of HK entertainment stuffs...and especially of my idol 'little master'...
but right after ending the chat, I cannot help but think and admit that mum's words have some truth in them...
...those who so-called appear to be so so so decent and angelic...so wholesome...
how would we know if they are not wild animals in disguise?
mum linked this point to my dear idol...>.<
mum just tell me to have a clear state of mind, and wake up from supporting these worthless people...
but I seriously cannot digest this at the moment...
I dont know when I will wake up...or if I ever will...
but I know that I probably will not view artists the same way anymore...
you might say that I am blaming the whole flock for some spoilt fellas...
but that's how many members of the public may perceive the matter...
so I guess this incident affects not only the male and female artists involved but also other artists in terms of how the public perceive the entertainment circle...

Portuguese Egg Tart from Porto, Portugal


hehehe...sorry, food again ;PPP
Portuguese egg tart from Porto, Portugal...
I personally think that this 'original' one tastes better than those I've eaten in Malaysia
but it might be more of trick of the brain and feelings than the truth because it has been very long since I last ate a Portuguese egg tart at home ;P

Open house in Terneuzen, Holland

Yesterday I went to Terneuzen (at the border of Holland and Belgium) for a Malaysian open house (no specific reason, just to gather, as the last gathering was back in October 2007 and some of us are leaving soon, me being the first one;PP) organized by fellow Malaysian Abang Zamri and his wife Kak Zu and their five young children ;PP...what else in an open house but food food food?!...hehe, I've posted some pics of those food on my other blog, so feel free to have a look...but please fill up ur stomach before checking, in case u blame me for making u hungry;PPP

http://keekee2302.mysinablog.com/

and after such a full and rich (with coconut milk/santan and oil!!) meal, a few of us went out for a walk..the house is near the sea so we headed there...(Abang Zamri's kids showed us the way)...initially I didn't want to get out of the house when another fren suggested, but upon hearing that we could take a stroll at the water front, I was all delighted;PPP


The sea is just at the other side~~






A doggie going into the water..and it's still winter~~ @_@ (the green moss probably marks the level of water during high tide)
The kids pick up some oysters...I am doubtful if we could eat them because am not sure if the water is contaminated or not...;PP
This place should be a port or something with all these ships around
I am not sure if this boat is for fishing or leisure...but if I could have one of my own in the future it would be so good~~ *time to sleep and dream;PP*
The ship looks like it is moving on the grassland...illusion...the sea is at the same level as the land from this perspective ;P

The face....

Some oyster shells and seashells I collected...buoy, remind me to my 1kg of seashells that I tried to bring home from Melbourne but failed (super overweight;PPP)...so this time I am not greedy at all ;PPP

风车~Windmills~~~

I will be going to Holland on the 3rd Feb (to Ternuezen for one day) and then again on the 8th (to Amsterdam again, for 3 days)...which was why I just thought I will put up some photos of windmills today..;PP I just like them a lot!!黎紧会去荷兰两次。。所以就諗倒不如分享下一些风车的相。。。因为我自己好中意,好中意的;P 见到风车就会狂影相;P(好多时就是在车上去什么什么地方的途中看到的;P)


The above three photos were taken while on the way to Kothen, Germany for the Dairy Science module in June 2007 (it was a journey of 12 hours of bus ride!...swear, no more such journey in my entire life..on a BUS!!;PPP) 这三张是去德国途中影的 (坐了最少12个小时的巴士!>.<)


And these two were taken while in Holland (the Netherlands) in November 2006 if I am not mistaken...这两张是在荷兰影的..I still remember me and Yun Inn (whom I just got to know at that time, and share quite some interests with me;P) were searching for 'OUR windmills' like crazy;PP (because we both remembered the same Jacky Cheung's musical show that we watched, in which there were many windmills on a piece of grassland...a very very nice scene that I (and Yun Inn) could remember until now...so we were both like, "must see the windmills with our eyes...our must do thing while in Holland! though in the end we managed to see just the old ones...but they were a pretty sight all the same ;-)
去荷兰玩的时候,我和另外一位刚认识的朋友为了找风车‘疯了’;P因为我们两个都是好久以前看了张学友的音乐特集,记得那个有好多风车好靓好靓的画面,所以去到荷兰就必定要亲眼去看!不过看到的是旧的风车(张学友音乐特集里面的是新model那些风车,就好像上面那些照片的)。。不过旧的都有旧的靓;P
