Happy birthday Malaysia!! You are 52 this year :D
There’s a saying that sounds ‘Don’t think what your country can do for u, but what you can do for your country’.

Hmmm… Let me see, dear Malaysia, what I can do for you:

a. Vote for the right people to lead us to horizons of success.
b. Be a good citizen.
c. Equip myself with better knowledge and confidence.
d. Contribute and pay back to charity.
e. Recycle. Protect the environment and maintain green in Malaysia.
f. LOVE THE COUNTRY :)

I guess it's the sense of responsibility or feeling or guilt since i poured tis out in my blog the day before yesterday, i really managed to tidy up my room today. In fact, it was a great transformation!!

I really hope that i could be adamant enough to tidy up my room tomorrow. For the past 2 weeks, mum has been constantly nagging me to clear up all the mess. Books, wires, bottles and papers were scattered all around my desk and computer table. And my wardrobe too!! Haha.. I wanted to clean them too. I guess it's just laziness...

I could spend hours in front of the tv or my lappie but not in my bedroom (excluding sleeping). Why? Why? Why? I guess i need a good beating or scolding =P

Sigh. I wish that i could get it done tomorrow.

"I ve finally met up with u!!" That's the first sentence that popped into my mind when i saw the long hair, fair complexion lady standing in front of me at the centre court this afternoon. Seriously, the last time we met is during xmas last year, and we had great fun playing at genting.. Oh wait, so it's almost one year, not one year, did u see tis??!!! Pheww...

We had our lunch at Oh Sushi in which we shared two main courses and a side order.

The spicy ramen.. Supposedly spicy, but suprisingly, non-chilly-fans like crystal still likes it.. Meaning it's not spicy laaaa.. :D
The unagi set.. The chicken (bottom right) actually outperformed the unagi.. We shared stories of each other, asking bout others, etc etc. Im glad we did not lose touch after all. We went on a shopping spree, but it ended up window shopping.. I just duno why i dont see anything that caught my eye tat day. Disappointed.. I was expecting to take a beeline to home with a handful of shopping bagss.. HAha.. Next time, next time..

In accordance with the montrous sale, there were little monsters around.. Hence we became big monsters running around snapping photos with them.. :D

They look cute rather than scary to me =P
Ooooppss.. Or maybe only that one.. THis looks a bit scary...They were found everywhere.. Standing on floors..
'flying' above our heads..
... even hung onto the 'trees'..
Weeeee.. N thx to a malay girl who took this for us..
I ve actually planned for my kuching trip, again and again it was delayed due to all sorts of circumstances.. I thought that this time would be perfect alas, but the aH1n1 is just too unfriendly to block my way. Hmm.. I hope that this wish can be realised soon, and three of us can meet up again ya, WENDY (i hope you hear me... )!

ps: Have a safe flight, crystal..

The previous nite was a fantastic dinner at Chilis with my colleagues.. To be more formal, my seniors or superiors.. Nice food, cracking jokes, soothing environment.. And honoured enough, i had both sides of farewells: with my own company and with the client company -- CIMB :D

It's not that i do not enjoy my internship at all. Although at times, i felt myself more like a display than a contributive individual. I felt wasted if im not fully utilised. ^o^

But there were so much to learn in the 1.5 months. I gained insight on real working life out there and job scopes of different occupations. I guess i have a clearer idea for my career path after this. Besides that, I am very glad to get to know a bunch of colleagues who ended up being close friends of mine..

Sze mun.. My always-helpful-and-hardworking supervisor.. Patient and capable career lady.. Extremely grateful to her for always being so helpful, patient and protective. Hehe.. Both of us did our a levels in sunway, yayyy :D
Grace & Hooi Teng... Grace is a very close friend of mine albeit we were of different nationalities. Hooi Teng is my kampung-mate (both of us are from klang) who is always kind enough to send me a lift home..
The singaporeans from left, Dan and Patrick.. Always craving for nice food.. N on the right, Ken, he's malaysian ya.. An intern of CIMB..
Of course this would be a never-ending list.. Frankly, the last day was slightly depressing..

Please forgive me if im rambling about nonsense again. I just cant help it. After 1.5 months, i ve finally completed and survived for my internship!! As long as im alive tomorrow :D

This is a record or an account for me so that i would never ever forget this experience, although i know i wont.

First hand experience:

- Office was almost igloo temperature. Too cold that it was so uncomfortable to work. Crazy enough, ppl wear sweaters and scarfs so that they would not be attacked by flu, esp the Ah1n1.
- Chewing gum craziness. I guess the amount of chewing gum i ate for only this month is at least equal or even exceed the amount of chewing gum that i ve eaten for the past 20 years. N i ve turned out to be the chewing gum supplier in the office. I have pellets, i have sticks, i have mints.. -.-ll - Ktm days. Running after a train, climbing high steps, being squeezed like a sandwich in crowded rides, walking hurriedly, grabbing seats. Worse if im wearing the thin, knee-lengthed skirts tat day.

- N the high heels coupled with long distance of quick walking has drew blisters and bubbles on my feet.

- I witnessed real world of working. Flexible working hours (start late, end late), but here, they work til midnite, often. Fortunately my bosses are kind enough to release me around 7, so that i can have mummy's dishes for dinner.

- There are free twisties, biscuits and coffee in the pantry!! - The toilets are executive style.. One consists of a bathing space and a toileting space. Then with a big mirror and ample space for you to check your attire.

- On a bright note, the ppl here are generally nice, and humorous. Kind to help, willing to share knowledge and experience, at the same time, committed in work.

- And on a even brighter note, they brought me around to try lots of delicious food around this area, which i ve nvr been. I like kin kin pan mee, yuk kee chicken chop, mamak style briyani rice.. etc etc. N thx to lunch times, they keep ppl moving forward to work and motivating :D

- Im glad that i do not observe organisation politics here.

- Another thing, with every employee given a laptop, paper usage should have been reduced. But i got the shock in my life when i see how much paper a firm uses every day. You do not count in piles, u count in bags!! N when they are forced to shred it instead of recycle it, i felt deeply sorry to the environment =(
Yaayy, farewell tomorrow :D

Last saturday was a splendid one with a whirlwind of events. Didn even have time to grab my dinner, although the food was awesomely tasty.. There's just so much to say. I ll let the pictures do the talking.
