Save Babe!

that's it... i'm swearing off chinese restaurants for the rest of the year. for my company's annual dinner last friday, we've booked a private suite in Imbi Palace restaurant. i deeply suspect this is a ploy for my bosses to sing their hearts' desire in the privacy of a room. as if it wasn't bad enough to listen to bad karaoke, all of us had to clap loudly (and enthusiastically) everytime after any manager/ director ends a song. just when i thought the night could not get any worse, the waitress served a huge platter of suckling pig... complete with the piggie head. NOOOOOoooo!!! how could anyone have the heart to actually devour the poor helpless piggie?? instantly i felt as if i was relieving my childhood trauma once again. back to the story, my bf's parents invited me for dinner at Tai Thong last nite. once again, i was forced to come face-to-face with (u guessed it..) another poor suckling pig. apparently it is the restaurant's Dish of the Month so ...

Indecisiveness kills

i have a little confession to make. i have booked an appointment with my future employer, 12 hours from now, for contract signing and medical check-up. the only hitch is, i haven't actually mention my resignation to my current boss, and i'm also not quite sure if i really wanna quit. here are some much needed stress-relievers (for myself): Q. If an Ah Pek aspires to be a superhero, what would he be known as? A. Pekman Q. If the Ah Pek were to drive a high-tech vehicle, what would it be called? A. Pekmobile Q. Lastly, who would be his faithful sidekick? A. lan jiao .......................................... koon and i made it up after watching Batman Begins. seems like after 4 years of being together, we have ran out of meaningful conversations. alrighty, time for bed. hopefully i will wake up tomorrow with an answer in my head.

3-Way Junction

I'm losing sleep over my career. every morning i wake up with the same burning questions, should i work now or go back to mmu and take an SAPPDP course? if i do work, should i be a software programmer, or solution specialist, or IT management staff? on the other hand, if i forgo my job opportunities and take the course, what if i don't get selected by the SAP panel? can you guys feel my agony? this is not the kind of stuff i'm always bothered about. usually i'll be mulling over which pairs of shoes to buy, or what bag to match my outfit, or which concealer is the best. now i have to think about career prospects, job benefits and even petrol prices ( i heard they are gonna raise it again soon).... all the boring adults stuff. let's return to the problem at hand. i have 3 would-be employers forcing me at gunpoint to make up my mind and start work on the 4th of July. yesss ....i know today is the 30th already and i'm nowhere near ready. the sad thing is, i can...

Japan GT Special

Image
my first thought when i learnt that my bf has been given free main grandstand tickets to watch Japan GT - wow wee Jap chicks, race queens and sleek cars! if someone had warn me beforehand on the hours one had to endure under the scorching sun, i would never leave my house without putting on a wide straw hat and SPF 1000. i get boils on my butt when i think about the hot Malaysian weather, to the industrial idiots out there, STOP POLLUTING the damn ozone layer, haven't you heard about global warming?? back to the story, here are some jap chicks as appetizers... this girl is really pretty... great figure and a sweet face look at the horde of guys who are willing to queue up under the hot sun just to snap a picture with the jap GT girls who aren't even pretty to begin with and have elephant thighs. they are not beauty queens, nor race car drivers, nor Yale scholars so what is the hoopla about? P-E-R-V-E-R-T-S a score of sleek cars entering the compound, not to race, just for the ...

The Job Less Club (2)

status: bright, ambitious and skilled IT professional desperately actively seeking employment. aarghh.... it is officially 4 weeks into my never-ending holiday. thus so far, i've completed my resume in record-breaking time, joined jobstreet.com and even found time to photoshop my passport sized photo. why the sudden surge of productiveness you may ask? it all started one fine day while my dad was reading newspaper, and out of the blue.... "how's ur resume going? i assume you have completed it?" "yes of course! weeks n weeks ago." Liar liar. "that's good. can i have a look at it then?" ohshitohshitohshit!! "err its not like i'm gonna work in your restaurant. there's no need for you to see it lar..." Pants on fire. "I have years of experience in employing workers... yadda yadda... give you good advice... yadda yadda...so let me see it." that got me reaching straight for my PC to churn out a decent resume in neck-br...

The Job Less Club

i'm not as lazy as u guys think :P accidently saved this entry weeks ago as draft... instead of publishing it. what a loooong day. just came back from alor setar, where my sister will be attending kolej matrikulasi kedah for a year. she's really a changed person from the day she tearfully and forcefully joined the national service program, personally branded as "national slavery" by her. merely after 3 months of roughing it out in the wilderness with fellow trainees, my sister returned home tearfully and forcefully (again!), this time for different reasons because she couldn't bear to leave her beloved camp... yeesh. anyway my productiveness for the past month is absolutely zero. apart from shopping, there is shopping and more shopping. but i've been a really good girl lately because i havent bought a single clothing item for the past 3 months. i made a solemn oath to myself not to buy anymore clothes until my pending trip to hong kong where i can shop til i...

Land of orangutans, knees and pink bananas

i'm well into the second week of my infinite holiday. the first week was spent bringing joey to "touristy" spots so that she can support the local fashion and textile industry. four days of trudging shopping malls can make anyone crazy, especially if the person in question is desperately saving $$ for her trip to HK. back to the main topic, this is my third day in sabah, my beloved birthplace, with my mom. we went straight to the Imigration Office the minute our plane touched down in kota kinabalu to do my passport. apparently, there's a really stupid law that states all east malaysians have to go back to whatever ulu hilltops they came down from to make their passports. does that mean sabahans and sarawakians are not malaysians? why do we have to return to our respective birth state to make a M alaysian passport? anyway, as i sat down to wait for my turn in the Immigration office, i felt a REALLY strong vibration... the entire row of plastic chairs were shaking. wa...

I am jobless, so what?

Image
since i don't have exams or assignments anymore... i've probably lost the priviledge to wail about being stressful ever again. but somehow i am really stressed out whenever someone asks me about my job (or lack of in this case). NO i haven't found a job yet... and NO i haven't start hunting and YES i am allergic to jobstreet.com. i'm perfectly contented to relax and enjoy before i sell my soul to my future employer. all these questionings are seriously affecting my bowel movements because i have been constipated for the past few days. speaking of constipation, its a really unpleasant sensation to have. that's why constipated people walk around looking generally pissed at nothing in particular. imagine how "pissed" i look considering the amount of food i have eaten for the past week. ooh...now that we are on the subject of food... shall i tantalize ur taste buds? looking at it just makes me drool all over my keyboard. the best spicy beef noodle and por...

No more exams forever!

ladies and gentlemen, i am now officially a statistic that contributes to the percentage of unemployed citizen of Malaysia. not for long though because i hope that someone rich decides to make me his wife and shopping in KLCC would be my new occupation. oops!! did i just blurt that out? anyway straight after my last exam paper on tuesday, i have been busy catching up on lost time with fellow mmu-ians. will update soon with loads of pics *muaks*
