Today is the day when i turn 23. I'm now getting older and I'm entering into the real world and trying to earn enough for myself and for the future. There are so much things to do in my life now and i wish i am now still a child under my parents care. Things were so much easier back then by just concentrating on studying and enjoying school time with friends. But i guess everyone have to grow from being a child into an adult so i still have to accept the fact.

My cousin came from Toowoomba to look for me which is a 2 hours drive to Brisbane. I really appreciate what she did by driving down all the way just to celebrate my birthday. She really cares for me and when im in need she's always there to listen and giving me some advises if possible. She even bake me a cake and bought me a present. So sweet of her!!!

Oreo cheesecake

My sweetest cousin

She brought me to eat sushi for our lunch and we went for shopping. She wanted to buy some baby clothes for her friend's daughter and we were browsing through the baby clothes and it was so cute. But at the same time its really expensive too. At least both of us did not spend too much time shopping for ourselves as we are really low on budget but in the end i still spend around $90. sigh...


After shopping for 3 hours, it was time to pick up KW from his office. We then went to a chinese supermarket and shop for some instant noodles and drinks. We then went to have dinner. It was a great dinner and thanks to KW for treating both of us.

We reached home around 8pm and KW, my cousin and my 2 housemates sang Birthday song for me. The cake was really delicious. Why??? Because its a oreo cheesecake and its specially baked by my own beloved cousin with strawberries over the cake. (Feeling hungry now? hehe...)

The Bardon Gals arrived shortly after my cousin left. The sent me over my present, chatted and took some pictures. I really what they gave me because its Winnie the Pooh !!! I'm loving it and its a new addition to my bed. To them im still a big baby because besides giving me a Pooh bear, they also gave me a lollypop. I feel so happy being treated like a baby. hehe... Thank you so much gals!!! You all are the best!!!

My new family

Thank you for all the wishes that my friends and family sent. I was also surprised that quite a lot of people remembered my birthday but still im disappointed that some of my good friends actually forgot my birthday. Overall, i am still happy and thank you everyone!

I quited my job today at the kebab shop but Wednesday will be my last day working in the kebab shop. Then Thursday i will start working in the company as admin. I have my own table which is also part of the counter but basically i will be doing small little things for everyone. The office had 7 guys and i will be the only girl in the office so hopefully they won't bully me in doing everything. 5 of the guys are Aussies and 2 guys are from China. But they seem friendly when i was there this morning.

After going to the office, i went and work in the kebab shop. We had such a great time today because there was not many customers and i was playing with one of my colleague's hair. I'll show you the picture why. It's really cool and he did it for the hair show. But we also played around with the camera and i look ugly in the pictures because I AM FAT!!!!

The back view. COol eh??

The 3 gentlemen

I look ugly and fat. sigh...


I finished work at 4pm and hanged around in the city to wait for KW because we were going to celebrate his ex colleague's birthday which falls on June but she was going to San Francisco so we celebrated her birthday early. The food was delicious!!! We were chatting and having fun together but we left early because we need to catch the train and KW needs to work tomorrow.


The delicious food!!

Birthday gal!

Group photo!

I want to talk to my parents and they are going to Bali this Thursday. I'm so jealous of it!!! I want to go also. I can't talk to my parents through MSN for the mean time because my speaker is either spoil or something happened with it. DAMN!!! I will try to reformat it first then see if the speaker still works if not then i will have to waste my money into repairing it. sigh... $$$ again!!!

Anyway, will post something up soon again!!! Have a great tomorrow people!

Recently my friend whom i met when buying my airticket last December told me that her customer is looking for an admin assistant and asked if i was interested. Of course i said yes because i really need to start somewhere in my career.

After a week of waiting the boss himself called me around 8.30pm at night on thursday. I never got a call for an interview at night but i guess he was really busy and when he called he was in Sydney. I was watching Indiana Jones when he called and can't really watch the movie properly as i have to answer the call. The next day after the call i went for an interview. I was meant to meet up a guy name Terry but he was sick so in the end i was interviewed by the managing director himself. He was happy with me because he himself said so but need to discuss with the guy name Terry. He was like asking if its ok for me to work 3 days a week for a start and i said why not and i still can work in the kebab shop for 2 days. The reason he wanted me to just work temporary part time is because he was going away for a business trip to China next wednesday and he is going for 3 to 4 weeks. After he comes back he will make me a full time staff. So we shall see till then.

I was happy when i got the call because i've been longing for a job so i'm excited. Hopefully things will turn out well. Life seems to be so busy nowadays and after work in kebab i never get to get the time to relax even after when i come home. Today i worked for 10 hours in the kebab shop as some of my friends from the shop are going for the hair show so only 3 of us left working. Tiring but thinking how much money im earning im happy. hehe... It's all worth it!!!

Sometimes life seems to be so unfair. I want to work more hours but was not given any at all while the other guy got all the extra hours. I asked the manager he just says that he called me but the fact that i did not even receive any phone call at all. This made my work attitude decrease tremendously. But its over and i couldn't care much about it anymore as long as i get a standard work hours.

I am still trying my best to look for jobs. I even try to look for other casual jobs so that i can work for two jobs in order to earn more. I just want to have enough of money just in case if i am moving into an unfurnished house. In another two months time i'll be moving out most probably to the city so that it's closer to KW's office. The rent in the city would be much more expensive but at least we are able to save on public transport ticket.

Most of my friends in Kuching already got a job and i am still here doing nothing useful but just working casual. I really feel useless. It's been 5 months since i graduated and i'm still here doing nothing. Life's really hard when your in a foreign country but i guess i have to believe in myself that i am choosing and doing the right thing.

I hate doing all the laundry's and cooking. Even though sometimes he does help me to cook but i still feel tired especially after i finish work at 5.45pm and reached home around 6.30pm, i still need to cook. This is the best way to save money when your broke.
Maybe i'm just getting tired of such life because when im at home in Kuching everything is done by my kakak. I am not nagging or what so ever, just that when your tired you just want to quickly get back home and do nothing but to relax.

No one will know how i really feel so just let it be. At least i feel more comfortable now after pouring everything out from my heart. So i am sorry if your tired after reading such an 'interesting' blog.

it's been a while now....

I've quited the direct marketing job because I did not earn much and I am actually spending more than I'm not suppose too. So this is when i decide to go back the kebab shop and work. People might think I am crazy but i think its actually good to be back there as there's no stress and most of all at least I am earning money. Basically now I am happy with my life. I am still looking for a marketing job but at the moment I am too lazy.

These few weeks just seems to pass without me even realizing. But what i realize is that I am gaining too much weight now and its time to hit down at the gym again. I've been skipping gym for the pass 2 weeks because of the direct marketing job. But everything's now back to normal.

Basically my life now is working, sometimes hanging out with friends and spending my time with him. He got a proper job now as a engineer in the city so nowadays i only sees him at night after his work and gym. Sometimes i do miss the life of us when we're still studying because he's always at home waiting for me when i am back from work and uni. But i am glad that he did get the job so he can spend money on me too. haha....

I will try to update my blog as much as possible because i don't have much happenings around so just pop by when you have time.
