Un-Wasted Holidays

Sigh... I'm going back to SJ in less than two days. Don't get me wrong, I am actually looking forward to go back. However, there is that nagging feeling of not wanting to leave home. I don't know how to describe it in words but I'll try... it is like a tinge of guilt, with a dash of reluctance and a whole lot of love. Feeling rather emo right now... >_<

Though this must be the longest holiday that I ever spend at home, it wasn't as wasteful as I thought it would be. Hmm... where should I start? Well, when I first got home, I remembered I was dreading about my results that were coming out in a few weeks. Before my results were known, I finally received my father's approval for me to obtain my salvation as he is a atheist. That kind of happiness was really indescribable after one is immersed out of the water. I can still recall that I couldn't stop smiling. :) Lucky for me, I passed my examinations as well!!

Then the two months industrial training began. I met some very pleasant people over there. I must say, working is not my cup of tea but that is unavoidable regardless how much I try to stall it. I just hope that in the future, I am able to like what I do. I don't know what the future holds for me, but I do know that because it is such a mystery, it will be something really amazing and special :P

Besides working, I met up with several of my friends - my two best friends, one gospel-friend-turn-into-believer (so happy for her), a few of my college and high school friends. Had my first taste of going out at night, not really a big fan of it though. I would get pretty worn out after a long night. Right now, my eyes are filled with dark circles below it. SOoooo UNATTRACTIVE!!!

Another thing worth mentioning is that I bought my very first guitar!!!! A guitar to call my own! I absolutely love it! It's such a shame that I can't bring it down to SJ with me this time. Sigh... I'm gonna miss it! Read three novels, this is one of my favourite pastimes which I rarely have the chance to do it. Glad I had the holidays to do it. Anyway, before I even realize it, the attachment work has finally come to an end. Kinda miss the people there but not the work. :P

As soon as the completion of my training, I went straight into house cleaning mode in the preparation for CNY. My room has never been so clean before! Ate plenty during CNY, grow so fat now.... -_-" Visited my grandma. Don't let her fragile appearance deceive you, her mental alertness is still sharp as ever!
She is already 80 something but still going strong! God really bless her.

My relatives - you can see the resemblance :D

OH! Didn't experience a blackout for a very very long time. One night, the whole house just went dark. Moreover, it happened at night. Everything was pitch black, I can't even see my own my hand! After wandering aimlessly, blinded by the darkness, I finally found my handphone to give me some light to move about. The whole neighborhood was extremely dark but it's kinda pretty, don't you think?


Now CNY is almost over, it is time to get ready to go back to studying life. Hmm... my clothes are still in a pile waiting for me to iron them... so I better get going... Until next time. Toodles!

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.

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!

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~!
