4th week in the running...

Term has started for a good 4 weeks. Assignments are starting to pile up and rushing for deadlines is going to start soon :(

I'm currently staying in a new house with my lovely housemates from the christian union/church. They are nice,polite,kind,lovely etc housemates. This doesnt mean they have no flaws! They are messy, untidy, scatty, always bringing people over to the house.... In the first 2 weeks, they managed to break 4 out of 8 glasses, a mug, a curry jar and broke a spoon? They take ages to get things done(kwai lo habit?). I was the one who had to settled the internet because they didnt realised that changing phone number ie, need to tell broadband provider to get internet. They thought it would magically appear -.-

Dont get me wrong, i do love them. Just some bits of them gets me annoyed - tolerable so far :) 6 policeman came by the house the other day at 5am because one of my mates were scared that someone(possibly a drunkard fresher) was trying to enter for 20mins. Police came knocking on all individual doors. Were bit freaked out but all's good now :)

How's everyone's week doing? Apart from all this little stuff, everything here is good! XD

Arrived!

Its been awhile since i've blogged because i've just gotten my internet fixed. No thanks to some people who did nothing apart from complaining.

Left Malaysia on the 23rd of Sept at 2am. It took me exactly 24hours to reach London due to a long 6 hours delay. Initial flight was supposed to be 18 hours with 4 hours transiting time. Then we were urgent to the plane for boarding. The crew was mean enough to not less us off when they knew there was a long engineering work going on. We were in there for 3 solid hours before they realised that we should be boarded off for some compensation lunch just to wait another 3 hours before we depart dubai. What a horrible journey eh? When we arrived Heathrow, everyone was tired, not to mention having to queue for solid hour at immigration due to the massive load of passengers.

Next day, had to leave london for aber. Our london- Birm train arrived late so we missed the connecting train to aber by a minute and had to wait 2 hours for the next one. I'm just pretty much jinx aren't i? Thankfully all that is gone and behind us now!

Term started and its starting to get hectic, not to mention the frequent parties being organised in my house is driving me crazy if this continues this way! Urgh.. more rants later.. Not to mention no one seems to be reading my blog anymore..

2 days in counting!!!! :(

Can you believe that it's been 3 months since i got back and its coming to the time where i have to bid farewell to mommy and daddy, relatives and friends. Dad's not allowing me to come back next summer hence i'm feeling rather emo than usual.. Its going to be real sad for not being able to see everyone for the next 2 years or so. Time is indeed passing by ever so quickly. Been so busy with lunches,dinners, buying stuff and soon packing!!!!! Oh boy, i pray i dont overload my stuff!!!! Sobs..

Due to such perfect timing, i have yet to meet up with my bestie since i returned home from vietnam. When i'm free, she's busy and vice versa.. Oh well..good thing there's msn/facebook/skype/phone! hehehe! Shall see if we will have the chance to meet up before me fly off..

Current tiring trends >>> Should i just give up?

Current tiring trends eh? Well. That's because ever since I've returned home from Vietnam, the same routine of things been happening (not in a good way) and of all times, why is it now? The week before i depart back to the UK?

Got into a small arguement with the bestie because of a guy. A stupid idiotic guy! (now now, please dont jump into conclusions. Its really a private story so not going to bocor here or EVER!lol)
Another bestie lied to me having dinner with someone else thinking it was a better solution? HARLO! SHOULDNT U KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW I HATE PPL LYING TO ME?urgh!

The best story of the lot...
I went to UK a year ago along with another friend who left the same time but we were separated by the choice of University we chose. It was approximately 4-5hours away by train. I was asked several times to meet up if ever I head down to London for a visit. Without having the correct facts, I was accused of being down in London many times without scheduling a meet up when by right, I only went down twice (once was when my friend was already back in Msia and another was during easter). I rang during easter but my friend was about to take off for her holidays and I had family stuff to do since my cousin came up, camps to go for, studies to attend to. I rarely spoke to this friend over the year( I tried several times, trust me!)
When we got back to Malaysia. I was glad to know she's down in KL hence we planned for a meet up with the usual crew to only noticed how cold she was towards me. Just a few days back I realised it wasnt just to me. It was to a few of us. Felt so used... I texted/msn/FB = no reply!Hmph. In uk, we only talked when there was problems on that side... Hmph.. Oh well.. What's going on now?? What should i do? I'm so sick of dramas... Honestly..

Apart from that, I'm wondering if this other friend hates me or something. She seems to reply everyone but me. I msn/facebook/inbox her but there's no reply and clearly she was AVAILABLE and chatting to my other friend but just not me at the same time.. Yes we are indeed not that close, but there's nothing wrong asking people how are they and stuff right? Oh well... Should i give up attempting a conversation or should i continue on and giving the benefit of the doubt that she's 'busy'? hmmm....

Too many things, too little time...

The days are passing by ever so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday that I'd arrived home in Malaysia and now, 3 months is up!!!!! *screams* I'm now left with less than a week. Soon it will be a day and soon an hour. I'm indeed not ready to be back yet. I still want to stay here and indulge in more food and hanging out with friends as well as family time!

Dad's not letting me home next summer till after graduation. Will this farewell bring out the emoness in me more than it did in the 1st year? Hmmm.....

Revive Attempt 3 : Vietnam

My blog's revival weekly is almost a failure. Shall get it going slowly :)

Yes indeed I have flown myself all the way to Vietnam. Have been here for quite awhile hence the silence from me in Malaysia. Will be back soon and have about a week's plus or so before i fly off again half way across the world to the UK. According to dad, i'm not comng back anymore till i graduate. Well i guess i got to endure all the glorious food i can now right? I've been gaining inches everywhere while i'm here in Vietnam - Food, Glorious Food!lol. Indeed is depressing but going back to ulu land will get me food deprived all over again..

While I was here my family and I took a trip to Nha Trang for 3 days and 2 nights to an island called Vinpearl Land - Boy dont they have the weirdest names here eh? There's a themepark and an entire resort & spa on this island. Its apparently bought over by a Vietnamese who's currently working in Russia now. Boy aint the fella rich! An entire island!!! *will upload pictures and give a full update in the next post*

I've also gone on a shopping craze here in Vietnam. As limited luggage allowance i'm allowed to pack back to the UK, i'm going overboard with the stuff im buying. I bought 10 pajamas sets and 2 pajamas dresses (no idea why, they just look really pretty ok....) , bought 14 tops and 2 long sleeves top. Hopefully i'll be able to bring it all back to UK. hehehe!

Gosh, almost every blog i'm reading these days is all about people leaving back to their respectives places to continue studying. Soon, its my time to fly too. Sadness! Once i head back home to Malaysia there's going to be so much to do and so little time not to mention all the people i have to catch up with before i fly off. Yikes! *prays time wont fly so quickly!*

Revive Attempt 2

AS most of you know, I was rather busy with my internship this summer. I was placed in the Tax department of company XY, an auditing, tax and consultation firm. To my surprised, for someone who hated accounts and almost everything about it, tax was 80% accounting. Being an economics & mathematics student, I felt rather leftout, having to be thought everything from scratch by my patient supervisor. Everyone there was an accounts grad!!!!!

I've learnt so much during this weeks of internship. It really felt worth while doing it for the experience no doubts some mishaps here and there. I was initially promised a pay of XXX amount in the offer letter. On the day of payment, i only gotten YYY amount which is approximately 200rm less than the promised deal!

Reason : XXX its too much for her, she's not working for 6 months! Her's is a special case!
(why is it special case? Hello i need to return to uk for my studies lar and is it special because im not going to be some form of cheap labour for 6 months?urgh)

Hello! I worked equally as long as those 6 months intern! I do the exact same thing(in fact i think we were working like a permanent staff) and it was in my contract which obviously you voided and i could actually use to sue you! - reason for not sueing is because its such a hassle and for just rm200? Oh well. I learnt my lesson that i will never go back to this company ever again... even if i cant find a job in the near future. It will be the last place i'll ever look!

Office rules : unreasonable ones!
1. No sms/calls in the office - what if there's an emergency? stupid rule right?
2. No usage of browsing unless its work related, not even during lunch break - wth!
3. Not allowed to on the computer unless using it, save electricity - kiamsiap!
4. No shoes allowed in the office due to cleanliness - hmm..what if those worms go up through our feet le?never learn science?
5. Official hours 9am - 7pm monday to fridays, 9am -1pm alternate saturdays, Overtime expected during deadlines!

Madness i tell you! I'm fine with most of the rules but the part of the boss being so kiamsiap! Urgh! Annoying... Hence, being interns = GET READY FOR MAXIMUM UTILISATION OF LABOUR RESOURCES

On a positive side, i appreciate the experienced gained.
