Would I?

Got challenged by Calvin J to do this.

1. Would you ever cheat on someone if they cheated on you?

Nahhhh.. Break it up first then hook up with the other. It's not cheating then right?

2. Would you ever give a hitch-hiker a ride somewhere?
Nope. God knows who I invited into my car. Sometimes I'm not being unkind, I'm just being careful.

3. Would you ever try fasting for a whole week?
No. A big NO. Food for life! I just love eating too much.

4. Would you ever try to quit one of your addictions?
Addictions huh.. Depends. Like if my addictions hurt someone then I would. But I don't have any addictions. So not necessary to quit. LOL.

5. Would you ever dye your hair purple?
Yeap! Been planning to do that since last year I think. Dark shades of purple though. Not the K-pop light shade. Like this:



Probably look blueish without light, but under sunlight, bam! 

6. Would you ever spend $100 for the best tasting hamburger in the world?

The bestest best? Of course. 

7. Would you rather chew gum off the ground or kill a squirrel?
Chew. I don't like harming other people/animals. 

8. Would you rather play Monopoly or Operation?
Monopoly duhhhh.. Best relationship breaker. Hahahahaha..

9. Would you rather eat chocolate or fruity candies?
Chocolate! Always.

10. Would you rather listen to one CD forever or become deaf?
CD. And I'll put all my songs into one CD. And constantly update the songs in that one CD. 

11. Would you rather text or talk on the phone?
Text. It's convenient. And it's not annoying. Imagine you're doing something really serious and someone calls you. Like gaming. LOL. Unless if it's really important and urgent then I'll call. 

12. Would you rather spend a day with Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus?
Gaga. Not a huge fan of Miley. 

13. Would you rather have a stomachache or headache?
Stomachache. I can't stand headaches. They make me useless. At least I can still be productive even when I need to go to the toilet often. Headache makes me can't think or do anything. 

14. Would you rather be overly interesting or overly dull?
Overly interesting. Better be fascinating than be boring. 

15. Would you rather be too loud or too quiet?
Now this is tricky. But I'll go with overly loud. I'm a talkative person (except with strangers and newly made friends). So I'll probably kill myself if I can't make noise. Despite saying that, I must consider the environment first lar. 

16. Would you rather have no electricity or no water in your house?
No electricity. Imagine the toilet bowl is not flushed after pooping. Ewwwww... And having no electricity is more cost effective. I can pay for a cup of coffee at Starbucks and use their Wifi and electricity whole day. If you wanna bathe you actually need to rent a room. So yeah. (coming from a Maths student. lol)

17. Would you rather go out without your wallet or smartphone?
Without my wallet. Someone can pay for me first. Or I can call someone to bring my wallet to me. Without my phone I can't contact anyone at all, emergency or not. If I get kidnapped, habis. And nowadays there are more shops allowing you to pay things through an app installed in the smartphone.  

18. Would you rather be caught by a friend seeing you masturbating or showering?
Showering. Then maybe he can join me. Hahahahaha.. Damn awkward if caught masturbating. But I don't really mind though, depending on who's gonna catch me doing it. Just preferring showering over masturbating. Lol.

19. Would you rather be scolded by your boss in front of all your colleagues or scolded by your friend in a public place such as restaurant?
Boss is fine. I mean he/she is my superior so him/her scolding me is normal. But if my friend want to scold me must have valid reason lor. 

20. Would you marry someone whom you have no feelings for, if that person gives you a million dollar?
Nope. I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm still waiting for my own Christian Grey. 

So I've done it! And now I'm gonna dread Saturdays because I have class till 4pm. Wth.. There goes my weekend.

First Semester of 2015

Hello  people. Or just Calvin J. (I know you're reading this.) So my new semester just started yesterday. And it's terrifying. Every lecturer who comes in tells everyone that the subjects is difficult and probability of failing it is high. What do I expect? I'm in year 3! My final year! So of course things are going to be difficult. I just hope everything goes smoothly.

So why happy about new semester? I get my time back. Naps, gym, outings. Those are the things I missed when I'm working. (interning) I get to see my friends again. I get to laze around. I get to play around. And why sad? I miss the environment. I miss the people. I miss the money. It might not be huge, but I actually worked for it. So yeah, it means something. And I miss the practicality of working. Everything I've learned, I used it. Unlike studying, I don't even know if I'll be using any of them in the future. Who gives a damn about how to differentiate a formula?

And crappy UTAR system. Seriously it's too bad. I need to register for Insurance Practice. But I can't because the slot is full already. Fine. I emailed my HoD and handed in the add drop form. No news after that. None at all. And then one day the Hod posted on FB saying he processed all the forms and rejected none for the IP. Yay! Buuuttttt... one by one of my friends got it. Soon everyone got it. Except me. I panicked. I mean it's my final year already. If I don't take this I need to extend two more semesters. Wth? So I emailed my HoD again. No reply. I must have sent 3 times at least. Still no reply. So yesterday, the first day of the semester, despite class starting at 2, I went to uni at 9 to queue. Why queue? Because students can't register subjects. And why is that? 2nd year taking 3rd year subjects. Subjects' time slots clashing with each other. Crappy UTAR server crashed. Like wth man. Pay so much money every year and this is the shit I got. Anyway, went there to queue. After an hour or so, my friend told me pointless to queue. UTAR changed its policy. They won't help us to add subjects anymore. We need to fill in the add drop form, or register ourselves through unitreg. Unitreg. Freaking unitreg. You see, to register ourselves through unitreg, we need to first see our academic advisor, so he or she can update the portal. But I was having internship last semester, so I can't see my AA lor. I emailed her just in case. And she didn't update the portal. I emailed her again. No reply. UTAR lecturers so busy meh? Class belum start pun. I was damn frustrated. No reply from HoD. No reply from AA. I can't get signature from lecturer because he's a part timer. Thankfully one day my HoD posted an update on it. Apparently some 20 students (I'm one of them. =( ) didn't get IP because the slots are too full. So he will try to squeeze all of us in. Not too good of a news, because I haven't gotten it yet, but at least there's an answer. Yeah. First day of January 2015 semester.

Right, So anyway I made a new friend yesterday. Candy brought her friend from Miri (her hometown) along with us when we go shopping in Metrojaya Sg Wang. There's a stock clearance sales because Metrojaya is closing down. They're moving somewhere I think. So the guy's name is Leonard. Quite handsome, quite tall, quite muscular, quite ok. A good candidate I would say. If he's a banana it would be perfect. Lol. We chatted a bit. I was shy. He appears to be more comfortable with others. Maybe because the medium of language is Mandarin and I can't really speak that well. Or maybe because he doesn't like me. Or maybe it's just things are with me. I can't talk much with a new friend. I need to see them a few times first before I start talking. So there's this one time he and I were left alone and it got awkward. He doesn't seem to wanna talk either so we just sat there not talking. I admit I'm not good at breaking the ice. Not good at all. Luckily it wasn't long. Just few minutes. But I can sense something is wrong. We're not compatible. Lol. Maybe we're just not that close yet. It was all good. Normal hanging out with friends. I'm not particularly attracted to him, but he makes a good candidate nevertheless. But guys like him don't mingle with guys like me. I don't even know what type of guy am I, but I can safely say not everyone is compatible with me. I might appear too noisy, too girlish, etc etc etc. *sigh* Oh I'm going there again later tonight. Metrojaya I mean. Should I stop by Day Thermos in the meantime while waiting for Desmond and Siew Yun (my ex-colleague)? Hmmmm....

2015 : A New Beginning?



Heyo people! *cricket sound* Okayyyyy......
Anyway, as per request by Calvin Junichiro, I shall update my blog for today.
So what's up with my life recently?
Still fat, single, and moneyless.
*sigh*

So I just finished my internship at Averis recently.
By recent I mean last Wednesday, which is coincidentally 31/12 (or maybe not so coincident after all xD). *I just realized I like to press enter after every sentence. lol* It was fun. Like really fun. I was afraid I couldn't fit in at first. When I went for interview, I saw the staff there working so seriously and I thought to myself, "OMG so quiet. How am I going to survive this environment?!" Well thankfully I enrolled into the Fixed Asset department. It was the noisiest department on the second floor. Maybe because I was there. Now that I'm not, maybe it became quiet again. Lol. So let's start introducing people.

Sae Yee

See the lady in beige? That's my supervisor. She's like my mother in the office. A very caring lady. We got along quite well (as usual). *laughs* She's always amazed by my humor and sometimes will laugh nonstop when I joke around. But when it comes to work, she's a very serious person. If an error is made, she'll want you to look it up asap and fix it. She's always worried about me because I'm an AS student, and I'm doing Accounting and Finance work. Well, I'm not complaining. This internship may not help me in studies, but definitely helped me in tackling more practical stuff. I'll come to that later.  *oh god this is going to be a very long post* She always call me siu pang yao (little children) because I'm the youngest there, and therefore, the mother-like figure. She didn't expect me to be able to catch up fast because I'm from a different course after all, but I hope I didn't disappoint her.
Mark
Just fooling around. Heeeee~
Next in line, my direct senior. I mean he's the one who taught me how to use the system, how to process the workflows, etc. He's very soft-spoken, maybe because of the braces. He just had it like few months ago so maybe he hasn't gotten used to it. He didn't scold me even once (I didn't do anything worth scolding) and I disturb him quite a lot. xD When I'm bored, I'll go to his place and give him shoulder massage (but he said my skills are not good =( ) or take a ruler and poke him. Eventually I just used my fingers to poke him. Lol. We talked about my future pathway one day and he gave me his insight. Quite weird because that was just a few days after I came in. But that just shows he's worried (or curious) about my decision to enroll in Averis. A very nice person. Maybe a little slow on dirty jokes, but still a nice person nevertheless. May make a good boyfriend, considering his soft-spokenness. But I wouldn't know. 

Emily

 My second senior, and my playmate. Lol. We can get quite crazy in the office, and hence we make noise quite often. My dirty joke mate, my poke mate, my bully mate. When I'm bored I go to her place to disturb her too, having said that, almost every time I pass by her, I'll give her a playful punch. A hands on girl. If you're not close to her, you might feel offended if she suddenly gropes you. xD She taught me about the system and all that stuff too, but since we're catering to different clients, she can just teach me those general stuff. A coffee lover, and a crazy person after lunch. You can say lunch fill up her crazy bar and boom! We're quite alike, almost like she's the female version of me in the office. The more the merrier right? :D

Suhana

My senior's senior. She has been working here the longest in this department. She's knowledgeable about the work system and I ask her sometimes when things go wrong or I'm not confident about something or when I'm lazy to ask my senior who's sitting opposite of me and divided by 2 monitors. She's just sitting next to me. We didn't interact much because she's on medical leave the whole of my first month. And also because she's a Malay and almost all the others are Chinese. Not being racist here, but of there's still some language barrier. Overall, she's a nice lady as well.

Standing: Sui Lin
Sitting: Erica

My neighbors. Sui Lin was in Fixed Asset during my first month but transferred to another team after that. But she's just like 2 seats away so it's still okay. She taught me when my senior's not here. My joke mate as well but not dirty joke. Slow a bit. Haha. We didn't really talk a lot because Erica's between us. But we still go for lunch together and we'll joke then. On the other hand, I'm not close to Erica at all. We seldom talk, despite her sitting next to me. She's like the opposite of me. She's a very serious person. And she doesn't go lunch with me. And she's in the other team. So yeah. I tried talking to her once but I can sense the serious vibe from her. So I know I must not mess with her. xD But if I stayed longer her icy behavior might change. 

Dennis

My leng zai driver. Lol. He's the one always fetching us out to makan. We bonded quite well till we can start making kiss gestures to each other. He's in the other team as well, with Sui Lin and Erica. We have the same channel most of the time, especially during making dirty jokes. Haha.. I give her shoulder massages sometimes when I'm bored too. Actually, I give shoulder massages to everyone when I'm bored. Hahahahaha.. Except Suhana and Erica. xD 

Desmond and Siew Yun

Desmond. The love of my life. Hahaha.. Nahhhh.. But I did have a crush on him. I mean he's funny, and tall. And a banana. How often you meet a gay banana?!!! But he's straight. So well... =( My primary playmate. Sae Yee always say he and I are always doing stand up comedy. We're compatible after all, considering we're both bananas. So we have this special connection that no one else can understand. Lol. Not so special lar. It's just that we get each other's jokes and also what we're trying to convey. Quotes, movie choices, song choices, etc. He's like the ideal boyfriend for me. But oh well. Too bad. *cries* He came in 4 days later than me, so we're quite close, considering both of us are newbies in the department. He's a permanent staff though. Siew Yun is the latest addition to the newbie category. She came in a month after both of us came in. Together we become the newbie trio of Fixed Asset team. We're quite close, because we're of the same age. Coincidentally, I'm in August, Siew Yun in September, and Desmond's in October. So we're like the children and Sae Yee's the mother. We joke and play around very often. Gosh I miss them. We still keep in touch, but it's different when you can't see them. Or subconsciously I just wanna see Desmond. Hahahahaha..

Character introduction is done. So what do I do normally? Processing workflows. And being the mood setter for the team. I am quite famous on level 2, known as "The intern from FA". Maybe because I'm noisy. I think that must be it. Lol. And I managed to read the whole Twilight series (all 4 books) throughout the 3 months, and some other novels. Since I'm just an intern, they didn't teach me everything. So I only learnt the basic and hence, quite free when there's no workflows for me to process. I don't blame them. But due to this, I always feel I'm not one of them. I always feel out of place. It's not a nice feeling but it can't be helped. Just 3 months and I'm gone. We might never see each other again. But I still treasure the times we had. It's my best 3 months in 2014.

My colleagues in Averis.

That sums up my internship. 
Till next time.
