It Is D-DAY!

Today is the last day of my internship! Finally! Last day to punch my card!!
I don't know why but I did felt a bit sad that I have to leave. However that feeling only stand for about 20% while the other 80% is really excited to finally have the relaxation that I have been longing for. Hehehe....

Since it was the end of our training, we decided to have an early dinner with some of our colleagues after work. We went to Chef & Brew which situated at Crystal Point. During our journey, Kak Mas turn on her car radio and it started playing M2M songs! I really miss that duo! Being vain that we are, we started camwhoring in the car! I blame it on Venetia! Her vainness has affect me and Hui Wearn!

Since it was only 5:30pm, the place was practically deserted. The food quality there was just mediocre, I wouldn't go there again if I had the choice. Food wasn't much of importance. The most important thing is that we got together to have a small farewell. I will definitely miss the nice people that I have met at work! Wish you all the very best and Happy Chinese New Year

Will update more pictures after I get them from Vene!

Not Quite There Yet

TWO more days and I'm counting the hours by~!!! I can't believe it! Two months of industrial training is ALMOST over!

I must say, during my training I had my fair share of complaints, and of course as some learning experiences that couldn't be learned through books or testimonies of others. The very first thing I learned at the beginning of my training is that no matter what occupation you are in, all the work are routine and repetitive. And to even think that it is good thing, what was I thinking?!? Doing the same thing everyday, from 9 to 5, is mentally unchallenged and utterly boring! At that particular moment, I was already looking forward to the coming new semester. On the bright side, the people there were really helpful, friendly and patient in showing us the ropes. I will miss the people but definitely not the work, especially the part where we HAD to embrace the odor of urine! *chills* Ohhh that reminds me... I better start thinking how I want to write my report on what have I learned throughout the whole attachment.

Hots for Reading


Spent two days to finish two novels - my best record yet! My friend at work lend me a novel entitled Singletini. At first glance, the title really attracted me but I sorta knew that it must a chick-flick type of novel. I still went ahead and gave it a try as working does tend to make one feeling rather moody at times. Singletini is definitely amusing in the sense that the leading character Victoria is really your very typical kind of girl - always last minute, matchmaker, weight conscious, shopaholic, dramatic and so on, so forth. A lot of chaos in every single chapter of the book but with that aside, it is really does struck me on the part of growing up. As a very brief overview, Victoria is a 24-year-old girl who got fired and found a job that she really likes, matchmaking. To her, it's all about the fun and parties. On the other hand, her three best friends are growing up and are either getting engaged or pregnant. She messed up a whole lot of stuff along the way, but it is at one stage where she finally accepts the reality of growing up with the help of her faithful and loyal friends. When I closed the book, I wonder when I will reach maturity in the way that I think or do. Everyone is treating me like a kid so I'm assuming that I am still acting like one. Hopefully not too late...

The other book I read is written by Nicholas Sparks, The Rescue. I can't really put the book down. Pictures and scenes flooded my imaginations and they were running like a movie as I flipped through each page. It's not exciting or thrilling but it is the story that keeps you going on and on. Sparks' books are mostly always about love and hope. This particular book tells about a man couldn't let go of his past causing him couldn't really love a person forever until he saves a woman and a child.... Read the book if you wanna know how it went about. It does leave a warm and fuzzy feeling inside :)

Work, Future and Action

Only 8 more working days will I be free from the bondage of internship! Can't wait!

Oh... did I mention? I am currently doing industrial training in a hospital lab for almost two months now. Working does make me realize one thing - everything is repetitive! In the beginning of the internship, it was fun and exciting because new things were learned. However, doing it over and over again does make the brain go bored and tired. To be honest, I would prefer a life filled with study and exams rather than working everyday. Though it is that same old routine, study, assignments and examinations, the knowledge you are receiving is different. Working, on the other hand, once you have learned the technique and know how to apply it, requires not much brain work, just constantly doing the same thing over and over again.

It is unfortunate that a career is unavoidable in one's life. Hence, choosing a career that you would do for the rest of your life is inevitable as well. If I can successfully get through this final year unfazed, what course can I continue on with my present degree? I am grateful that I have a brother to provide me with several suggestions but it is hard to imagine the life of a job that you don't quite know or get in touch with. In my mind, I can vividly imagine my brother saying, "Then go find out!" And that is what I shall do. I never really taken my future seriously so I better do something about it... Pray for me as I am clueless on where to begin and how to plan ahead. That's it for today... Kimmy over and out!

Friendship Never Ends

People always say that when one grows up, there will be a lot of commitments that can't be avoided. In other words, everyone will be always busy with their own life, doing things that matter to them. However, we always make sure that we take a little bit of our super-packed schedules to meet up when there is a chance.

I met up with my two BFFs yesterday night. Gosh... It's been so long since the three of us got together. One of them lost a lot of weight, One looks extremely exhausted and One gains a few pounds. Talking with them really brings back good memories and just being with them, our friendship story kept on adding a few more chapters each time. We talked a lot, about our lives, our new year resolutions and our future. It is with a heavy heart when one says that her dream was to further her studies in Scotland but we are definitely are supportive about it. The other one is still figuring out whether to continue further her studies in research or laboratory work. One more still wants to pursue Medicine but has no confidence in herself. We do know one thing, whatever we want in life, we have to work hard for it. Sigh.. we also agreed that this is tough too.

On the topic on love, one is happily attached to her boyfriend, like practically married J! The other is loving her single life while the other is searching for love however, we all again come to a conclusion that final year is way more important than thinking about L.O.V.E. Don't worry girl, you know you will get plenty of love from your two best friends!

Hmm... wonder when will we meet up again? Definitely a few more times before we get back to our hectic lifestyles ok? God bless my cam-whoring friends and I!

P.S.
I finally found digged out some old pictures of the three of us when we were in college. Did we change a lot? *wink*

Way Back Then...

Then...

NOW!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars

It's a clear night again - not a single cloud could be found. A perfect scenery as I gaze upon all the twinkling little stars shining above. Fortunate it is for me to be where I am right now. Although astronomy is not my cup of tea, I do enjoy just merely watching them shine. The only this I know about astronomy is a particular constellation and that is... ehhh... wait... I don't actually know the name... Let me go Google it...

*wind blew softly*

Ahh.. Here it is...



This is called the Orion also known as The Hunter. I know this as it is said to be the most common and the most easily identify constellation. It has a distinguish feature which have three stars forming a straight line; so whenever I see that, I would always figured that is Orion. Well.. how would I know anyway... I just like to gaze the stars. It's really quite relaxing and it never fails to amaze me how wonderful God's creation is. Really! Every night, I would look up the sky and I would feel that this world or universe that we live in is very mysterious... It's a bliss to be ignorant at times, too much information will causes all the attraction and mystery to just fade away...

Angel's Gifts

I came home from work, tired and weary, fell down on the floor and rested for a moment before I gained enough strength to stand. I have no idea why I was the way that way but I could felt the strain in my arms. Basically, I was just exhausted. Then my Mum started telling her story... I was listening and waited for her to get to the main point... and she finally said, "therefore, you have a little present waiting on your bed." I have no idea why, but the word "present" does lift up my spirit. Thus as I walked up to my bedroom, I saw this....



It is the same mug with different languages front and back. Sweet, isn't it? I really like it a lot. :D And there was then I saw another present laying beside it. It was a small hymn book! It is given by a young angel. Thoughtful, isn't it? Who would have thought that a little kid can even take care of a big sister? This certainly brightens up my day :D

Typical Entry

DAMN.. not again! My jeans felt tighter when I put them on this morning! Crap! Why is my will power so so weak??? Looks like I need to diet again. Hmph... I often told myself that I need to be happy with who I am and live life to the fullest but every time I gained weight, I would dread and force myself to go on a diet. Sigh... I don't get it, why people are so worried about their weight? Is it due to the health issues? Well, I personally don't think that the only reason we do it is because we have nothing else better to do - that is just plain idiotic. Oh why do I bothered thinking about it anyway? Looks like no sweets and candy for me these days. Anyway, now for the updates...

Recently, I bought a guitar and I'm LOVING IT! The owner of the guitar shop told me that Höfner is the brand that was used by the legendary group of all time, The Beatles. I didn't really care as I am not a fan. As a beginner, I do not know much about guitars but I do prefer Höfner over YAMAHA as the sound quality is brighter and clearer. Next time I shall take a picture of my babe and upload it here, okies? *wink*



Oh! Tower Records was holding a storewide 20% sale for all the CDs sold there during Christmas and New Year's Day. And guess what I bought for only RM36.72? BACKSTREET BOYS latest album! Unbreakable is definitely better than the previous album Never Gone as I thought that the last album was kinda slow, too many ballads. Unbreakable is definitely louder and plenty of weird combination made by various music instruments but it does have a nice beat to it. I was just a bit disappointed that Max Martin did not contribute his works in this album. He wrote a lot of songs for the BSB in previous albums which I really adore. Having said that, I still like this album, it shows BSB can also do rock music as well.

As for my industrial training, I am only left with three and a half weeks unto completion. I don't know how it happen but time just flew by. When I first started, I was worried that I need to work for two whole months which at that time seem pretty long. Now, one month has already passed. I met some pretty nice people over there and I hope I would use the time that I have left to treasure this experience. Here are some pictures of my colleagues. Will post more after I take some more pictures before I leave there for good.


Venetia is my coursemate who is taking this training. The furthest right is Kak Mas - my private nickname for her is MasManis because she will always greet us with a very sweet smile.


Miss Khor - I would have to say she is the Early Bird of the bunch. Whenever I reached my workplace in the morning, she will be the first person I see!


This is Abang Loh. He is the youngest person working in the lab (excluding us, trainees). He is the workaholic, always working OT and on-call. And oh, he likes to kacau girls especially Kak Mas :D

There is still others but I haven't taken any photos with them yet. Hopefully will do it soon. That's all for today, I need to crash or else I will be late for work tomorrow. Au revoir~!
