Sunday Noon...

I am in Starbucks Mid Valley now...

Am doing my work.. and also blogging now .. Hehehe

Just want to say..

Happy 51st Merdeka Malaysia! =P

Merdeka! Merdeka Merdeka!!!

Morning Post =|

Hi, Good Morning.. =p

I am now blogging from my office. Got up real early this morning to send a friend to airport. Will only be seeing each other again next year. (Counting Down Now) =D Hopefully, all of us in the gang will gather again and CLUB CLUB CLUB!!
as usual... Hehe...

Come to think about it, I have been sending a lot of friends to airport every time they leave. From secondary school friends till college and university. And of course, it will be a little emotional each time Hehe. But I guess it is normal. People come and go. As time goes by, one will meet more new friends along the way.

Sometimes I do envy those that are leaving to other places. I always think when it will be my turn. Not that I do not like it here, it is just the longing to go to other places, to see different way of life, to meet interesting people of different cultures. Come on, the world is so big, I have to see it.. And I better do it when I am still 'young' Haha..

And YES! I envy envy envy those who gets to travel. Hehe..

Time passes very quickly when you are doing something routine. eg. working? XD

Haha.. Working life is good when you can learn a lot.. Besides giving you insights and knowledge, it helps to shape your perspective. I have to say that I have learn quite a lot since I started working. My direct superior is a very nice person. Not too much work given to me but guidance and plenty of 'spaces' for me to explore and learn myself. =p Thank You.

But I guess experience is important too and one can only gain that through time.

And so, it has been 4 months since I started. It will be 2 more months before the assessment and confirmation. =p

------------------------------------------------------------------------

On current event, the Beijing Olympic 2008 has just concluded. As expected, nothing less from China. The opening and closing ceremony was wonderful Haha.. Almost perfect. I don't really watch the sports. More interested in the ceremonies, medal count, stuff like that... Haha...

Anyway, overall, I thought that the Game was a good opportunity for China to showcase herself to the world. And she did =)

China is definitely in my travel list Hahaha...
I MUST learn Mandarin =/

And also, my graduation is coming very soon. =)
6th of September 2008 ^^
Happy Happy Happy
Time to meet up with my Uni Friends, do some catching up.=D

If you want to come, I want flowers and teddys.. Hehehehehe...

And also not to forget, might be going for some short trip maybe in the year end. Some places near, like Thailand. =p But have to save money first luu.. =p Still in the planning stage.

Hmm, I think that is all for now, as I half blog and half working and also chatting, it is already 10am now. My friend who left this morning will be reaching very soon. Hainan only ma.. so close.. Haha..

Till then.. =) Good Day and Good Bye..

Hi there... it has been 1 week now since I started working...

Nothing much to do for now as the place is still new.. this division is still new...

Anyway will be expecting more people to be based in this station... the more the merrier hehe..

As for now, its all about learning the basic stuff about the plants... Jatropha curcas.. =p

Work Work Work.. preparing for some big event... LOL

Here are some pictures...

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.
