Round-a-bout of Life

This blog has gone hiatus for quite sometime now. A lot of things happened during this time. I’ve graduated with my advance diploma, went to Sheffield for 15 weeks and now I am back in Malaysia waiting for my result. I am very sure I will graduate but I am not sure of what to do next. That’s the question that I have been asking myself now… WHAT’S NEXT???!?!?

See, I am at the stage of life now where people will call it “junction of life”. This is where everyone needs to make the most important decision in life and not regretting it later in life because there is no turning back. For me it’s not really a junction. It’s more like a freaking round-a-bout with 7 or 8 exits. And poor me, I have to choose a road and stick to it. Here are some of the options I have:

1. stay here in Malaysia, get a job
2. Go back to UK and do my Masters and get a job there
3. Go back to UK get a job and work for a year and come back
4. or I can go back to UK work for a while to support myself for my Masters

There are other options but these are my main ones. I can go to Singapore to work, or I can sit at home and wait for my wife to support me or I can just help my dad with his business but they are my last resort.

The first option is good because I have everyone with me. People that matter to me the most; my family, my tortoise, my friends and my home. Nothing feels better than coming home from work to those that you love knowing they are behind you supporting your in everything that you do. They can be quite naggy at times but they are who they are… they have to be naggy. What is life without naggy parents and sometimes girlfriend? J

Going back to study is good. Whatever course I am majoring in will help me to widen my job prospect even though that cert don’t really add value to my current qualification… at least that is what I was told. But getting a Masters will really help me to get a job here. I am an oversea graduate and I have a Masters. So I will have an advantage towards the others. If I were to take an MBA, I can go into other field of jobs as well.

Working there is a good thing because it really puts me ahead of everyone in terms of financially when I come back here. Working there will give me a head start as I will be earning my salary in a bigger currency. But I am quite choosy. I want to do something that is related to what I am studying. I don’t want to go there and waste my time there working in something that is not related. Then when I come back here my resume will be empty like a fresh grad’s resume. No point having all those hard earn cash but when you come back you still have start from zero.

It’s really hard one to choose this time. No matter what my decision, right or wrong, I will have to live with it because there will no more turning back. No matter what life will still go on and I will have to make the best out of my situation then.

First Day in Office

Well exam is far over and now I am working. I had to work because if I don’t then I’ll sit at home and rot to death. I can’t afford so sit at home until May and expect my dad give me allowance every time I ask from him. So I found this temporary job In Star Cruise as a FILING CLERK.

Some might wonder what the hell I do at work. Well, generally I just sort out documents and put them in to files. That’s all! Simple right… So I went to work today and my supervisor, Honey (no no… that’s her name...) briefed me on my job.

Ok first of all, your work starts from 9am to 6pm from Monday to Thursday. Then on Friday, it’s from 9am to 5pm. And your monthly salary will be RM 900.

Holy shit! That’s good pay!!! RM 900 to file documents is a freaking good pay!!!

No problem right? Ok! Now I shall brief you on what to do. Because our company owns a lot of ships and operate world wide so the filing job will be a little bit harder. Each document will be segregated 3 times.

1. By country
2. By vessel or ship name
3. By date

Well I thought for a while, fair enough, I mean I am getting paid handsomely so things might be a little tougher. So I said ok to Honey. She then led me to my desk. And to I almost fainted. This is what I have to sort out...

Then she told me something I didn’t want to hear… “This is just part of it. Still got some more”

There are 6 freaking stack of paper which is almost the same height as me to sort out and there are still more!!! I just don’t know what the hell I got myself into.

Hell started as I started to segregate them non-stop till 6pm. By that time I’ve manage to clear out quite a lot. This is what’s left…

And this is what I have managed to do…

The good news is there are 4 more stacks to go… and the bad news is this is just the 1st part of segregation. I still need to segregate everything 2 more times!!

Malaysia's Most Beautiful?? I Don't Think So...

What do you get when you pick around 30 women from Malaysia and put them together in a reality show? Well you will get nothing but a show full of rubbish. I simply don’t understand how can people call that show ‘Malaysia’s Most Beautiful’. To me personally, this show should be showing people what outer and inner beauty all about. Instead we get cheap women who think so highly of themselves backstabbing each other in the show.

I didn’t watch that show from the very beginning. Only join the ‘craze’ towards the end with only 5 of them remaining. Everyone in that show talks about being Malaysia’s most beautiful woman by being beautiful both inside and out. Trust me when I say this…Malaysian women tend to lie when it comes to this. Physically, they are all very perfect. Every one of them has got a nice and lovely face. They also have perfect bodies and by perfect I mean they have a pair of arms and legs, body which is without any ‘flaws’. To me, that is beautiful.
OK! I lied! It would be better if they would have hour glass figure with measurement of 36-24-36, long sexy pair of leg and…. C’mon no need for me to describe, just let your imagination run wild.

When it comes to inner beauty, none and I really mean NONE of them have them. Just pick any girls on the street and I can guarantee you that this girl will have a better personality and heart and deserve the title more than anyone of those women in that show. They have already shown sign of greediness when they join and compete for this title. Then, in every episode of the show you get to see ladies backstabbing each other and faking around each other just to be that nice girl. That is seriously not BEAUTIFUL!!! But this show is good in a sense that it shows how cunning and cruel and bitchy and fake and blah blah yap yappy a girl can really be.

Well thank god the show is ending next week. Yes people! It’s down to the final two. And if you watch it next week, you will be able to see which girl is called Malaysia’s Most Beautiful…rubbish. Those interested, you can watch the grand finale next Thursday (27th January) at 9.30 pm only on 8TV. (Note: for Malaysians only)

24 - It's the longest day of my life

Ever watched the show ‘24’ starring Kiefer Sutherland? I never watched that show so I don’t know what it is about. But the story is something about Kiefer Sutherland’s character experiencing some big problem in a day of his life making it the longest day of his life. Well, today, I experience THE LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

I‘ve met Mr. Ong and attended the interview for my BAR list yesterday and today respectively. The meeting with Mr. Ong went on smoothly and nicely. I was required to submit my tutorials to him tomorrow (Friday) to be examined. And I am currently 98% done with those tutorials. So no problem here….

The interview went very badly from the way I see it. Mr. Wan, the Head of Mechanical Division lead the interview. Mr. Choy, my Mechanics of Solids lecturer, Miss Sim, the registrar for School of Technology and Miss Goay Lay Ni, a lecturer was there as well. Mr. Wan was playing Mr. BAD GUY in there. He was so determined to get me barred from my exam. Mr. Choy was Mr. I-don’t-know-what-to-say-so-I’ll-just-keep-my-mouth-shut; he tried to get me out of trouble… I can tell that he was trying. But my gratitude and appreciation goes out to Miss Goay. She was the only one on that room that was sticking up for me. After I left Mr. Wan’s office, Miss Goay came out of the office to talk to me. She gave me a good piece of advice. She told me to talk to my lecturer when I attend my class tomorrow morning.

Well I can’t do anything right now but to wait for their answer tomorrow. It sucks big time just waiting and waiting and knowing you cannot do anything anymore. I’m praying very hard here that I don’t have to go through another year just for one freaking subject like what I did during my diploma year. But if He was to give me the same shit again and waste another year in college, I would most probably drop out and get myself a job. In fact I already have a job in hand. My plans are to help my dad out with his business in Johor. I’ve talked to him and his business partner. They are willing to send me overseas for training if I were to join them. I am considering my options now.

My "FIRST"s in 2006

When I said that my 2006 going smoothly, well I LIED!!! It’s the first week of 2006 and my days are going down the drain… I woke up this morning to my friend’s call. I answered…

“Hey you woke up already?”
“Yeah…why? What’s wrong?”
“You are
in the BAR list la”
(Shocked, with eyes wide open)”HUH!! WHAT??!?!?!”
“Yeah”
“OK OK…I’ll go over to college to check now”

I was lost. Trying to figure out whether they tried to play a prank on me or it’s the real thing. Well the BAR list is a list for those with unsatisfactory attendance in class. So I drove to college only to find out that IT IS THE REAL THING!!! Thanks to my laziness I got myself into BIG SHIT problem now. I will have to attend an interview tomorrow. If I can pass that interview, the college will allow me to take my exam (which is in 2 weeks time) or else I’M IN DEEP SHIT!

To make matter worst, I just receive a call from my friend just few minutes ago telling me that my mathematics lecturer, the ‘ever loving’ Mr. Ong would like to see me regarding my coursework. I can very well tell that this is another BIG SHIT for me.

TO HELL WITH 2006!!!

P.S: This is the first time that I am in the BAR list and the very first time that I have problem with my coursework hence explaining the title for this entry
