Updates and good news :)

Been spending weeks, mending my CV, writing down my cover letter, searching for potential jobs, preparing for interview and finally ... I am hired !!! :D

Officially starting work on the 26 of March.

Interview sucked, but what to do, I promised to be an extremely hard worker , fast learner and a go-getter. lol.

I swear I am not joking. I didn't do very well during the interview, never gave good interviews before, even though the current job is my 7th job, but 8th role. LOL.

Sadly, I didn't get the role I wanted, or should I say, better at. Public Relations is my forte, but because I procrastinated a lot little, I had missed the opportunity by merely 2 weeks! They just hired someone new before they saw my CV T.T

So I am back with Pavilion, the place I interned before 2 years ago. Instead of doing Public Relations, I will be under Leasing.

Heard its helluva paper work, but I am all in for new challenges yo !!!  Challenges and new environment excites me, don't know why. I love learning new things. Just that I really needa improve on all my languages and how to self promote myself. I think I have high EQ.

Academic wise...probably very average. But please, don't ask me about world news and politics. They bore me. Politics , football and maths bore the s#$@ outta me.

Anyways..my English isn't exactly A grade. BM is half arsed (forgot most when I went to Aus for good), and only know conversational Mandarin and Hokkien. Probably can read more than I write, but still, I feel like a jack of all trades but a master of NONE.

I've started working since 15, done Food &Beverages, Public Relations, Marketing, illegal seller (sold fire crackers and spray paints/ribbon when I was young) , Nursing (for my dad) and now....something totally new...Leasing.

Adventures awaits =] I am officially(soon) an OL (office lady) ahahaha. I love wearing office wear.


Owh... I hate high heels :( I have giant blisters all over my feet now


Severely injured feet...(stole this picture from my own Twitter)

And..got a lot of stares. I know, I am tall and still wear high heels ! Probably looked around 175cm. hahaha. But it makes me look slim ! For the first time I  look at reflections and thought I don't look fat.

Actually, I've lost a couple of weight since I came back to Malaysia. 3-4kgs away from being my "skinny" stage!!! Lost about 3kgs since I came back. Lost about 7 kgs in total since May last year. Hahaha, dam slow right, but I am hoping to lose weight slowly, so that it doesn't come back fast !

I don't know why people say I'll put on weight in Malaysia, with scrumptious food everywhere. They're outside food, true, very fatty, but I have an extremely weak stomach. Been falling sick pretty often...from food poisonings, allergy reactions, heck, even caffeine overdose (from cheap coffees bought from bubble tea shops) can give me panic attacks + extremely high heart rate (which actually creates this "exercise" effect , which tricks your body into thinking its exercising) .

Some which are pretty serious. Had a growth on my neck just last week which THANKFULLY disappeared after a week. I almost fainted while driving alone once, can't stand up immediately or else my vision will be damn blurry, I will feel very giddy and there will be hot flushes on my face.

Agh, will take care soon. Should really stop myself from eating expired food and outside food. I actually miss my own cooking. They're extremely healthy, doesn't leave oil residue in my mouth. unlike the typical chinese cooking at home. They taste natural. Not seasoned. Haihzzzz.

Can't cook at home right now, cause my aunt is the house chef, will be very disrespectful to her. Her food is delicious, just that I feel like I've eaten 1000calories per meal. Oily, porky fatty, fried + thick yummy dark sauce or white starchy sauce. Rich in flavour.

I like bland food. Simple to prepare/cook. I usually stir fry veggies or fish, and put minimal salt , pepper , lemon. Or boil everything with some chinese herbs, very minimal seasonings. My mom has been nagging .. saying I want to learn how to cook our family style cooking, but don't want to see how my aunt cook lunch and dinner.

They are food that I USED to fancy lei :( I do enjoy cooking random stuffs, following recipes, and creating dishes but been so sick so often lately, Eddie grew fatter...and with many people suddenly dying....cancer feels like this disease that is waiting to strike anyone...my relatives all who grew up eating my grandmother's cooking , and now my aunt's(my aunt learn from my grandma) cooking, a lot of them have high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure... means it has got to do with the food we eat. Not just genes. Do you all know, if you were to get a hereditary disease or something all your family members have, say obesity...the chances of you getting is 30% from genetics but 70% from  lifestyle...So, take care of your health !!!


A lot of text, I know...I kinda needa find my camera charger. Ran out of battery and can't camwhore !!! I have a lot of pictures in my handphone though. haha. :D

Okay thats all. Will update soon. Hopefully the next post will be filled with camwhore pictures.

Just randomly writing things that's in my head. I only slept 2 hours today and I had an interview + blisters on my feet. No thanks to 2 big cups of caffeinated drinks yesterday.

never in my life...

Its a norm for Australian companies to direct their calls to India (to save labour costs) but of course by saving a fraction of their $$$, things will not be as smooth sailing as expected.

Booked a shipping company to ship my stuffs back, and I had to call a couple of times.

The operator and I JUST couldn't understand each other at all very well. 

I had to spell my name, followed by a word. 

For example, M for Malaysia, I for India, C for China, H for Happy, E for Elephant, L for Lion, L for Lion, E for Elephant.

I did that for each and every alphabet of my  FULL name, but guess what, when I received the quotation...:

FIOW LING?????

I remembered very clearly I said S for Superman.... (My Chinese name = Siow Ling) and she still put F ? Fuperman ??? Dafuq?!

But I admire her creativity. It's the first time people spelt my name like that.

Wow.

I have just attended a friend's 60th birthday party.

Weird right? For someone who's slightly over 1/3 of their age to be friends with people around that age group.

How I met them? Through friend's parents, and some are through events, when I wrote some news article. They are reporters I know , and they are around THAT age.

Honestly, I prefer mixing with old people. It's like they are so tired of being mean (if they ever are) or judge mental. Old people are extremely nice people !!! You know how old people or parents, when they reach a certain age and then they mellow? I mix well with that group..

And the grand birthday party I attended just now, was one of the BEST I've been.

Pictures soon...when I am not lazy to take my memory card outta my camera. haha.

Just came back.

AND OH,
I spent last few days SPRING CLEANING my apartment (and it's beautiful spring now in Melbourne :D)  , and my gosh, can't believe I've kept SO MUCH JUNK!!! My living room in Melbourne is really small, and to be able to (find stuff to) get rid of 7 garbage bag size + 2 big boxes of rubbish ...I went speechless.

Anyway, it looks a lot emptier now...but still need at least a week before the whole apartment is open to public. lol. Bedroom to clear this coming week. Donating all the clothes that I don't want anymore :)

Brokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Been spending loadsa MONEY. Actually not that much, but when you're broke, AUD5 makes a difference man!!!

Anyway bought some nail polishes , cheap ones..AUD2+ per bottle and played with it !!

These are suppose to be "leopard print" but I don't know why it looked like vintage roses/lips on turquoise background instead!!!

But I really like it hehehe!!!

I am just bored. Really.

OH, yesterday, Melbourne / Victoria had this very strange cloud..just swiping over the city !!!






This picture below..you see the tall building area??? That's Melbourne CBD area. My friend living in the suburbs took a picture of the clouds travelling to the Melbourne CBD and the two pictures above are from Melbourne CBD (where I stay).


All photos are copied from my friends on Facebook!

Quite scary...cause it DOES feel like the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", as my friend has pointed out.

Birthdays in the first week of November.

I don't like the months of the 2nd half of the year. Even though my birthday is in one of those months.. so are 2334243024820 other people's.

Money just flew, don't know where they've gone.

I am so broke that I don't care anymore, and have to depend on Eddie.

Celebrated the first birthday of November in Geelong:

 Had some pizzas, wine and my favourite cake  !!!

 Played killers and robbers...UNO style.

This tissue holder is damn funny!!!

Some camwhore:

A relaxing birthday in Geelong, because all I have to do is just listen. heh. My cantonese sucks to the core and everyone in the party are Hongkies!!!

I can understand, but I have difficulties speaking in it! 



Then there's another birthday in Melbourne :

I like my eyes in the left picture (and Eddie's talking face hahaha) !!! And doing some F-ed up face on the right picture. Cause I look the same ALL THE TIME, and I am really bored of my face. 

 I introduce to you...the best cider I've ever drunk. Rekorderlig's Strawberry and Lime.

Love it !!!

Some girly group photos, and I am the only person not looking at the right camera. F. What the heck is wrong with me?!

 Cute puppy cake!!! Love it cause the tongue is sticking out, so cutie !!

And this is by far...the best picture EDDIE HAS EVER TAKEN OF ME IN THIS 4 YEARS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP.

Seriously, he's the worse photographer ever !!!

Halloween.

Celebrated Halloween. promptly on 31st October with other friends who's families are back in Malaysia.

Without a large range of make ups and no costumes....I've decided to draw a 3rd eye on my forehead -____-

Super minimal effort (only need black eyeliner and white eyeliner), but well, I got a lot of stares on the streets of Melbourne. hahaha.

Super shy and was hiding beside Eddie the whole time, and camwhore:

Seriously people here, they don't care if its obvious that they are staring until I give them a look back (in the tram).


So I've brought my pasta :))

The place was nicely decorated !! Everything was handmade :

Actually, I took WAY more photos than was published here and on Facebook, but have to filter properly because Eddie wasn't the only guy who dressed up as a girl (and the other guy minded that his photo will be published on the internet) :

 (I look weird here because I was trying to open my eyes to the biggest it can, and it looks weird!)

Lesbians for the night yo !!!

"Snakes & Ladders Adult Version - with truth/dare, drink 1 shot, drink double shot & make a friend drink"

It was a fun night. Drank till I got horribly drunk and wasted the following two days in bed. I can't even stand for more than 5minutes or I will faint...and I had all symptoms of food poisoning -_- Fucking hate hangover, and will never drink till that extend EVER!!!

But HEHEHE, love it when friends and I are drunk, cause most of the time, its when secrets no longer stay as secrets.

You're beautiful.

Omg. this new piece of All-in-One PC by ACER just got announced !!


It's such a gorgeous piece ! If only its not black entirely. Not really a fan of black desktops.

Im going to getchu!

Glove shoes.

As much of a feminine face most people say I have...my fashion sense is quite the horror. 

I dress very simply. Shirt + a skirt or a dress + slippers/ballet shoes (I wear till they spoil only change cause shoes very expensive here in Melbourne/Australia)

No fancy blazers, no few layer clothings, no revealing clothes (except for rare dinner occasion).

I always like the sporty image (despite being flabby) ! In Malaysia (where most of my plainjane shoes are), my ballet shoes are sportshoe-ish one !! 

I've been eyeing this pair of "glove shoes" lately :

I see people wear on the streets, it looks weirdly cute to me!!!

I want the exact same pair up there that I've googled!! Yellow and purple colours means something to me, and they are both royal colours in certain parts of the world :D

Tech Junkie

I am so into technology nowadays (and also interior designs for bedroom + cars - more on that later)!!! But among all that, technology has always been this thing I read regularly.

Been reading all the latest news about phone initially because I really need a new phone once I go back Malaysia, refreshing Engadget as often as I can...and then when there are no more news about latest OS and phones....I got CRAZY.

I started "updating" myself with knowledge about the latest Television, Speakers, Headsets, Monitors, Tablets, Cameras, and even Wii, Xbox and Sony Playstation -_- .

AND GUESS WHAT, THE MORE I KNOW ABOUT THEM, THE MORE I WANT AND ITS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I LACK THE FUNDS TO GET THEM T.T

Ok. So now this is the IDEAL plan I have in mind once I step foot in Malaysia for good.

1) Beg my dad for Samsung Note in White ! 

Because it's going to look weird if I were to answer a call the usual  way like :

I would need bluetooth headset ! And I googled this really cool one called JawBone Era:

2) Beg my dad for a car- preferably Honda Jazz Hybrid that's coming to Malaysia next year or 2013 or Suzuki Swift. Either one will do, as long as they have bluetooth in the car !

3) Clear my mom's stuff out of my bedroom, and rearrange all the furnitures. Have a proper dressing table and large ass mirror :D 

My ideal dressing table would be to have rectangular mirror like pic on right, width like pic on left, but a lot of compartments like pic on right...but must have leg room like pic on left -_- 

4) Buy a desktop with a huge ass Monitor that is Touch Screen (Acer or Samsung) !

5) Buy a Samsung Smart LED  TV  (and hang it on my wall)

6) Buy speakers and place it around my room :

7) Buy sofa bed 

8) Change my ceiling lights and fan :

HEH.

Good luck to myself  getting all of them !!! I even contemplated getting a PSP, WII OR XBOX but decided to scratch that -_-. And get a tablet !!! None that I am happy of yet. 

I know its TMI, actually I am writing this as a mental note to self when I go back :D:D:D!!!
