Tired

Phew.. today was one long hectic day...

Got out from the house at 8am to have breakfast with my mother... followed her to the pasar, bought stuff and bla bla bla... went to the bank to reactivate my account. Apparently, my account was being neglected too long and became inactive thus the ATM service is not usable.

Reach home at 11 something... decided to go out again by my own to check out my working location in Sepang. Wanted to find out a few days ago but keep procrastinating. =p Have to report to work on Friday and this is what forced me to go look for it hehe...

Spend two hours driving on the road around Sepang area... Argghh, damn ulu place.... even with the address is useless!! The roads there are all kelam kabut wan la, you wont be able to tell what road your are on... = = End up in places like Salak Tinggi la, halfway to Banting la, all sorts of kampung(s) laa and so on and on.... really kenot tahan.. wasted so much petrol.. haih..

In the end, suddenly spotted my company's logo and end up in a plantation. Manage to ask some workers there and luckily, one of them lead me to the actual place. Well, the place is just located next to the Sepang F1 circuit. OMG

Passed by it a few times earlier but still missed it... but at least the place is nice. The main building is quite futuristic in design hehehe and the place is quite new I think... but forget to take picture.. later lerr.. =p

And so it is all settled, I do not need to fear that I might be late on my first day working because I sesat haha. The only thing left to consider is should I shift there to save on petrol and toll $$$? Maybe I should. =p

Just to show where I went.... =p Some place I even ended up there twice.. hehe

Reach home around 2pm and off I went again to KL to buy some computer stuff. Hang around in Times Square and Low Yat before going back in the evening jam.

And all this was done although I did not sleep the night before wahahaha... so that makes me very very very tired and thus after dinner... went straight to bed.

KL in the evening... taken from Times Square

Bukit Bintang area... jam jam jam.... =p

Work II

I think I am becoming nocturnal? Arghhh, I am starting work soon and yet I am still staying up at night..

Can't seem to get back to the 'normal' way of life. I suppose this is the result of being too long in the 'holiday' mood hehe.. Sleeping at odd times during the day, staying up whole night, guess these will all change by next week....

Up at 6am and to bed before 12am... like during school times... tsk tsk.. =p

The Blog Readibility Test

Ermm, I wonder what is the meaning of this. Is this a good thing or bad? It says in the site...

"What Level Of Education Is Required To Understand Your Blog?"

Er, I think it is a good thing because it practically means that those from junior high and above can understand what I write here? =p I guess only primary school kids will have some difficulty perhaps? Hehe, anyway, it was never my intention to write in such a way to make it understandable for them.. Er, not that I do not want them to read but aiyaaaa, at least give me a college level laaa..=p

I am Monash material okayyy... mana boleh write at 'junior high' level wan!! Hehe.. Got this while reading my friends bloggie. Well, some of them are at the 'college' level while most of the others are at 'high school' level. Hmm, makes me wonder how the site actually determines this. Do they scan through all the words found in your blog? Aiya, if it is like that thus it means my vocabulary is not that good la.. limited to junior high only.. sweat..
= =''

Anyway, don't care much, just do it for fun only..

But I do compare my blog to one's blog. Mr. Lim Kit Siang's blog. You know, the politician from DAP?
His url is http://blog.limkitsiang.com/

And this is what I get...

Wow...

Geng ar....!

Work

Hi there,

This blog of mine has been abandoned real long.. what to do, nothing to post ma.. =p
Had been attending interviews for the past few months, can't really seem to get a good offer..
Most of the jobs are related to sales sales sales and sales AND marketing!!
= =''
Other than that, was relaxing at home.. =)

Grrr!!! Why is it so hard for science grads here to get a 'related to what I study in uni' kind of employment (with decent pay also la =p). Hmm, tried applying using job sites like Jobstreet.com. Found a few suitable positions but got over 150 to 200 applications for each. Competition is so ridiculously high! Really SO not enough jobs in Malaysia meh? Until need to be like that? hehehe...

..... to those that plan to major in biotech/biomedical field in the future, maybe I should really advice you all to think again.. =p Only do so if you are really really really interested in doing research and plan to go all the way till PhD level.

If you are not, just go be an accountant or engineer hehe. Jobs are widely available for these two fields. Pay are much better too. XD

Anyway, was lucky enough to land myself an 'acceptable' position. Apparently, I accidentally googled this company up. The Asiatic Center for Genome Technology. It is the biotechnology division of Asiatic Development Berhad, a plantation company which is also a subsidiary of the Genting Group. The company is involve in genomic science and is focusing on the application of genome technology for crop improvement (namely rubber and oil palm) bla bla bla bla =p. Ask me to define what is Genomic? I don't know! I forgot! LOL

Anyway I was offer the position of Scientific Executive there. I am not too sure of the job responsibilities yet as I will only start on the 2nd May. Anyway, the only 'setback' is that I will be based in Sepang near KLIA. Will be involve in the R&D of Jatropha curcas, a plant use in the production of biofuel. Hehe, sounds interesting eh. =) The pay is also so so la, above average pay maybe because I need to work in Sepang. Ya, quite ulu I know..

Besides that, got another offer from 1st Base Laboratory as a Lab Officer. I declined that offer. =p

So, will have a few more days of holiday before I begin working. I tell you all I am more than ready now.
Work Hard!
Learn More!
Earn More! =p

Wish me luck ya! =D

Went to Monash today to fill in the paperwork for the student withdrawal application. Went into the library but don't recognize any faces. Can feel the 'emptiness' in there hahaha. Like a lone ranger. Anyway, will get to claim back the deposits paid earlier during the study, quite a huge amount of money there hehe.

Bumped into a few former coursemates later. Meet up with Randy as well and had lunch at Wendy's. A new fast-food restaurant in pyramid opposite McD.

Not bad.




Beef Burger?


Mine... Fish Burger?

^^

Till then.. later..

Bye.

Jan 08 - Feb 08 Part 4

Hehe, its the beginning of March now.. general election is coming soon.. in 2 more days. Too bad I can't vote this time. I did my voter's registration a little too late which was in early January. =/ Well, got to wait for the next one. To those that are voting out there this coming election, remember, VOTE WISELY! hehehe...

And so nothing much happen in February except for my birthday on the 13th hehe. Got two cakes this year. ^^

The first cake I got was on the 10th. =p Went to eat steamboat again for dinner that day. This time, tried a different place in Sunway Mentari. Don't know the name in English so I will just post the picture. =p

Hehe, I really love steamboat =p ~~~~

The restaurant is located opposite Yuen Buffet Steamboat, across the main road. Personally, I think this place is much better than Yuen Buffet. Maybe because its kind of new? Anyway, as you can see the shop is more nicely decorated and clean. However, most of the patrons will have to sit outside in the open air since the inside can only accommodate a few tables. And that means no air-con hehe. But for people like me, that won't be a problem lee...

After the dinner, went to pyramid and played bowling. =p Played two games. Main baling only hehehe.. But the score can consider not bad la for a noob like me. Played with Jes and Fish. Hehe.. I even lost to Jes XD Later, Mr. Leo and smaller Fish come and join and that Leo showed off his skills. ==''

After the game, tried archery. Got two free tickets and got to shoot a few arrows. Hehe not bad not bad, quite accurate. =p Next stop, Yip Kee Noodles drink soyabean..

And then cut the cake at Leo's place hehehe... Thanks guys! =p

Got present oso...=p

lampu oo lampu la la la~~~ =p


On the 13th Feb, my actual birthday day, had dinner at a restaurant near my house together with all family members. Its also our 'Lou Sang' dinner that night for CNY. =p

Old ledi ~~~

That night, meet up with Ken and Cassie as well. First dinner at Murni and then 'tong sui' at KTZ in SS2. Did some catching up. Apparently most of my course mates have gotten themselves a job! Cannot afford to waste any more time now. =[
