Second phase

I had finally step on the second phase or stepping into the work life -- attending interviews. I had been sending out resumes until I even lost count of what I had applied during my internship period and had been waiting anxiously for replies from them. In the end, it all paid off and I manage to attend every interview that I had arranged during most recent trip down South.

It was a really tiring trip as I have to travel here and there for the interviews, rushing here and there just to be at the meeting place earlier, most of the time waiting for the interview time etc. Nervous much? nahhh..I just want to nail it and get it done at that time. Because I know, if I don't get it this time, i may need to go down another time and it would be a waste of time and money.

As for the results? I do not have any confirmation yet. Verbal agreement yes, but you will never know what will happen until you have the black and white documents in your hand. Till then, I will still remain hopeful and pray hard that everything will fall into place smoothly.

People said, when you apply for your first job, look for something that you truly love doing instead of focusing on the pay. Indeed, this is what I am trying to do. But of course, the pay must be reasonable as well. For now, I cannot tell that this is something that I really love doing. You need to start working for a few months first before the reality sinks in, right?

How i wish, how i wish I do not have to go through the waiting phase. Oh well, if only I can skip this part, but, it will never happen anyway.So, let's just wait. =) Wish me luck people!!!!!

I want

What I want now

A change of environment

The thrill of starting a new life

Doing something that I like

I want!!!!!! 

Fingers crossed! 

Hopeful

How will you know whether you will not regret the decision you had made now? I guess only time will tell. Sometimes you have to sacrifice something for a better future, and this is one of it. I hope for a better return and it better be good. Fingers crossed!

Left two more working days and we are going DOWN DOWN DOWN! Cannot wait! =) =) Three and half months just flew by and hey! I will be free free free! For one month at least. =p So many plans in my head and I am just waiting for the right time to execute it. I will be busy busy running everywhere to get attend interviews, researching online, catching up with friends and also cooking of course. Gosh, how I miss homecook food and not those menggelikan cafeteria food. *vomitsss*

All those humiliating moments here, getting cursed, scolded for nothing by stupid customers will soon be forgotten, and SCREW YOU ALLLLL! Muahahahha! =p Oh well, just to release some steam. I will soon return to civilization, to normal human behaviors. XD

These few days have been really cold and misty here, as a matter of fact, the coldest I had ever been here. But luckily yesterday the sky cleared off at night and we managed to catch a glimpse of full moon on Mooncake Festival! How lucky..=) Hopefully the weather will behave until this Friday and after that, you can have all the mood swing you want.

We will be going down to Singapore again end of this month, but this time is purely to look for jobs and attend interviews. I swear...=p Hopefully we will receive some good news soon and everything will fall in place smoothly. God bless...=)

^^

Cannot wait for this Friday to come! Wohoooooooo~ At the mean time, pray hard that these two days will go by smoothly..=)

Ten days left till the end of my internship! OH YEAH! Who knew three months had just passed by in a blink of eyes ya. I cannot wait to end this, and gain back my sanity of a normal life down the hill. I need to keep myself updated with the world, go home and enjoy dancing in the living room alone without any disruption, cooking, sleep until sun shine on my pigu...AHHH! Just the thing I need, before jumping into the working boat.

Even though I detest working here, but in the end if you would have asked me what have I learnt here, i will say I had gained a lot working here. You can see the ugliest side of people, greedy, rude, impatient, dirty, lust, you name it.  At first I really could not understand why is there people like this on earth and how the heck can they treat others with such ignorance and disrespect. As time goes by, I realize that this is a test for me.A test for my patient level and how I can handle these kind of customers.

Imagine myself repeating what I said again and again for eight hours, everyone will ask me the same thing over and over again. Some just bump in even though I am talking to another customers, some complaint, some have some weird body odor, some smoking like no one's business, some just don't understand what I said even though I had pressed the slow button x10000000 times, and some, are just plain rude.

Customers are like that, and management? One word to describe, inconsiderate. They only care about revenue revenue revenue. When it comes to staff level, it is just, unfair. Hmmm..since it is a sensitive issue, i should just keep it low. For those who are interested, please ask me personally. =)

Oh ya, back to the main topic. Through this internship, I had learnt to not take things personally, and how to be professional no matter what shit that was thrown at me. Tell me, where else can you learn that?

Anyways, counting down ten days till my freedom!!!! =) =) =)

Push two aside and more to come. Hopefully

Trip down South...It was suppose to be holiday and work at the same time. But guess what? In this trip alone, I had turned down two offers. One to work in China and another interview in Singapore. Reasoning is either salary can not even compensate the air ticket, what more saving money. Then, applied without research before hand and realizing that this is not my cup of tea.

The moral of the story is, you need to research and think twice before applying for something. My Singapore trip was a fruity one as I had set my mind on where I want to work and giving me a head start of what to expect in the future. Even though I may need to start from the rock bottom with minimal wages, but I guess you have to start somewhere somehow isn't it? 

Time to hunt for job vacancies over again and expecting the excruciating waiting period again. I should keep my hopes up high and pray for the best. Gambate yo! I can do this. Time to go back up the hills for two and half weeks then I am done with City of Entertainment. Thank god. 

p/s My parents and aunty keep pestering me to work up the hill after I finish studies and I guess they gave up. Because they know no matter what they say, it will not change my mind. ^^ I am a stubborn person I know. =p Happy holidays people! and Happy working to me.

Dream

Dream. Do you have a dream? Or maybe dreams? 

I always dream of the things that I could have done, or things that will never happen in real life. I will close my room door, and fantasizing the things that I can only achieve in my dreams. 

I have so many things that I want to do, but I can't. I can only hear from others what they had seen, what they had experienced. Jealous much? Yes. The more I hear, the more I want to do it. But, financially, I can't. Some people just take it for granted, and misused the luxury that was spared. If only it was given to me....

Sometimes, fate is a funny thing. When it is yours, it will always be yours. That is what I believe in, and the only thing that I can believe in. Do I have confident in myself? Maybe yes, maybe no. I believe that I can do this, achieve this, but who will believe me by reading through one paper? 

I have so many plans in the future, just waiting for the right time to do it. It is not that I don't know what I want, or I don't have any goal. I have, tonnes of it. But I am just waiting for the right chance, the right path to walk. 

I am still waiting, searching, hoping that everything will fall into place. 

Good news please come

Sorry for the lack of update...Been pretty uptight recently because of my frequent job hunting...For your info, I had been crazily hunting for a job after the completion of my internship next month! WOHOOOOO! FINISHING!!!!! put that aside first..haha...Yeap, so, I am constantly thinking what I want and where I want to go. Administration side? Operations? Sales? Food and Beverage???? Whenever I have the free time, I will think about it...Imagine what is going on in my brains these few days...haha..

Anyways, hopefully I will get some good news very soon. Then it is time to earn some money and start on my real real life! Wish me luck people!

My off is coming real soon and it will once again be pack with things to do. Interviews, going down to Singapore, meeting up with family, meeting up with friends and of course, HAVE FUN! keke...I cannot wait for my 8 days of offs! I need the rest! urghhhhh....

Anyways, thats all for now. I will update more once I am back in KL! Toodlessss! XOXO

Sober

Sometimes, past will remain at the past. No matter how many pictures taken, videos captured, it is only the past. Pictures can be deleted, videos can be deleted, but memory? That is something that I can not control. Time past, memories fade, but some things, will remain unchanged.

Here I am, learning how to handle myself at work, handle my emotions so I will not take things personally, battling with cough and flu and bang! A slap at my forehead. Saw it, watched it, so? I can't change it. Past doesn't matters when future is the one that is in my hands right now. Right?

Self control, is what I need to learn. Do not take things personally, is what I need to learn. I need to learn that I do not have to please everyone in my life. Haters will still be there whether I like it or not. As long as I am honest to myself, I have nothing to lose.

I am sober don't worry. Just, need to rant.=)

A long and whinny post. =p

Hellossss!

Time for some update! Well, work is still the same. Though I was standing for one week straight for promotions..Hmph! Anyways.Everything is going great now since I am doing 10-6 shift now and time is passing by like rocket. Wohoooo.=p August is coming by and cross my fingers that my 8 days leave will be approved...Well, it is the month of Raya and National Day after all. Public holidaysssss~~

Currently I am starting my job hunting after my internship and hey, how come online job application is as complicated as face to face interview? I need to fill in this and that, answer this and that. I will spam everything that is fit to myself and hopefully I will get some reply soon. =) Fingers crossed again. 

Aza aza fighting!!

Anyways, one thing I realize about working up here, you will meet tonnes and tonnes of different people whether it is the colleague you are working with, or the customers. Everyone told me that I am very different from what I was when I first stepped in as I am quiet and rarely talk to other people. Yes, it is a very simple survivor strategy. When you step into a new environment, take some time to observe things around you so you won't be harm. Then when you know that you have everything in your hands, then it is time to socialize.

You see people who are followers, people who are hardworking but never get a chance to move upwards, the differences between having a degree cert and high school education, people uses girl's advantage to move upwards, copy cats, office gossips and you name it. So many things going on and hey, I am not getting involved in any. Yeap, you have fun listening and talking about it, but do not get sucked into it. That is my survival strategy. As long as I can end my internship safely without any trouble, I am grateful enough. 

Yes, there are things that you are unsatisfied with, things that you disapprove, but there is nothing you can do about it. The people that I disrespect the most, people that I do not agree with, many. As long as they do not step on my tail, I am cool. Do not disturb my rice bowl, if not, I will bite. As simple as that. 

Work aside. =) =)

Seems like I have't talk about this little gift from my mum. =) Well, if you would have known me well, I am not a person who is fussy over handbags, what more branded bag. So here you go, my first ever.....

COACH! =)

My mum brought over this huge bag all over from USA for me and gosh, it cost a fortune that will be paid by my mum's credit card of course. haha. She bought for herself one anyway, so no guilty feeling or whatsoever. haha. But anyways, I am still thankful and thanked my mum for this big gift from her trip. Thank you Ma! =)

My first Coach

Hello Baby C! 

Anyways, it is currently hiding in my cupboard and I have no idea when am I going to use it. I am scare I will dirty it since it is my most expensive bag ever, and come on! Even my pretty bag I bought from France that cost me less than 20 Euro is still hiding in my cupboard since I sayang it too much to use it what more a Coach bag. Bag dilemma really. haha. 

Well, I am so used to use a seasonal bag I call it, because normally I will only use one bag to college for one semester and at the end of semester, it would be either spoilt or too dirty. =p So mind you, my bag will cost me less than RM50 as I am not so fussy about how it looks and all. After all, it is only a temporary college bag. And oh, normally I don't even need to buy a bag because I would have ask my mum or aunt to get me one whenever they go out on a trip.Muahaha. Well, it is like those bargain bags from Bangkok if you are curious. Whether it is Fushi brand or Thai thai brand I don't really mind, as long as I can dump everything in my bag, I am happy. That is how not fussy I am with my bags. 

Maybe one day when I have a stable income and can afford to have additional money to buy these luxury goods, I would have reward myself with one or two. As for now, nah, I am good with what I have. =)

Off days coming in a less than 7 days. Bliss~~~~ Happy Weekend people! Have a nice one

Oh France oh franceeeee

I MISS THIS...TT

FYI, this was our Study Trip To France...and yeap...150 over students went together and this is our group taking a group picture at Foix. Miss it sooooo much! 

Sometimes, its not as easy as you think it is

The hardest thing about customer service, is when you met with some stuck up people who doesn't know what is 'Respect'. 

Example 1:

People who act smart and think that they are ALWAYS right. This kind of people think that they have the money in the world just because they had spent SO much on this something call 'Luck'.In their world, other people are just worthless so they can condemn them whichever way that they want and still think that they are right at the end. Raise their voice is just minimum, doubting people's working abilities just because they think that they are right, which they are not, and humiliating other people? Cursed the corporation just because they do not get what they want. In the end, will they be back? Certainly will, because they just love this thing call gamble.

I was at the merge of crying after, when I was half way walking towards the toilet, I said to myself, why should I even shed tears for this kind of jerk. I sucked it in, and walked back into the office, continued with my job. 

Example 2:

This is the worst of all. Me and my colleague had just started our work and we are fairly new at this location. So this couple came and started asking some questions. At first it was alright, until the husband came. He proudly threw his two special so-call VVIP card on the table and demanded for something from us. He THREW the cards, with his LC face and attitude. In our normally procedure, we require two different card and apparently they do not have that card and yet, he demanded us to give him what he want because he have those 'VVIP' card. I tried to explain in patient that we need his another card to proceed with his demand. Both of us did not know that with those special cards, they have the privilege to proceed with what they want without another card. 

It was my first time stationed there and to my colleague, he rarely stationed there as well. Of course we don't know. Still? Must you YELL at us and acting like we are just a bunch of rubbish. Demanded to see our manager and saying that we both don't know how to work. Mind you, yes we might not know, but according to our procedure, you should have two cards if you play in that area. How the hell in million years will I know you have such privilege. Can't you have a little bit patience while we call and ask our supervisor about it because yelling at us with such disrespect?? Luckily the person who always stationed here came back and proceed with his demand. Guess what? He THREW another two VVIP card from another place and said you think I don't have other cards ar! NAH! 

I was going to cry after he left because I felt so damn humiliated. How could such people behave in such disrespectful way? So what if you have such VVIP cards? I don't give a damn shit because you people do not know the basic human manners which is RESPECT. If you want to show off, show it to people of your same kind because I just don't care. If you always behave in this matter, you are just LOW. 

Two of the worst situation I had experience during my internship...I guess I have to start learning how not to let this kind of situation hit back on myself hard..Suck it in as they are just another customer...

Just feel like posting some pictures..

Oppss..Just found my Camwhore picture in Facebook...And me likey! So have to post.=p FYI..My hair is longer now...Bangs are out of shape..Friends who have not seen me in a year said I am thinner but B said I am not..So yeap..Thats me for now...=)

Something like this..=)

Just finished my 8pm-4am shift yesterday and I am sleepy as hell...There are so many things that I would want to do after we finish our internship..time to fix my hair..perhaps some rebonding and coloring?? =p Time to get ready for our holiday, get our sunblock ready and hit the beach already! Wohoooo...

First..time to for some serious planning because someone's birthday is coming...though he already knew my surprise..Sorry..I am bad at keeping secret...dei...=p Anyways..becareful people when you are on the road as you know some cleaning process is going on around KL..We are perfectly safe in Genting as our staffs still can joke around about getting cleaned..haha...Happy Weekend Ahead and time to head the bed..ciaosss people =)

A dim of light among the darkness

Ohhhhhh~~~ Sunset, beach, bikini I am coming~~~~~ Wait for me me me me me! Three months, three months to be exact, and I would be lying by the beach and enjoying the warm weather..Oh yeah~~ Cannot wait! Time to save more money!

Today...was quite some day actually..First, thanks to the overwhelming tourists coming from everywhere, I missed the first bus going down to KL and have to wait for almost an hour and half for the next bus down..Then, the superb driving skill of the bus driver had caused me severe giddiness and I have to force self to sleep in order to prevent myself from vomiting.

I was expecting hot and warm weather when I reach KL, but was greeted with after rain cooling weather instead. @@ Treated myself a nice simple korean late lunch but realize that my green tea costed me RM10! One small cup of green tea. Never again will eat there, I promised myself. Everywhere there is sales, but what I have, is limited time. Bought a so-call-ori ear phone and realize I was cheated later on..TT

Met up with Wai Mae and thank god, nothing went wrong. Missed two trains and have to cramp myself into a sardin-can-like monorail. The worst was when I realize, I lost our itouch. TT It was not found anywhere, and I guess it was either drop while I was finding for my purse, left at the restaurant, or taken by other people.   Regretted to the max because I was not cautious while walking around KL.

Thankfully B was not mad and even comforted me...thank god I ate at home and thank god for our booked holiday. =)

Everything shall remain the same as we are going back up tomorrow..Work starts again, and counting down till our next off days. Happy weekend peeps..and Happy working to us...

Choices

In life, you need to make a lot of choices. Choices that you regret till death, and choices that will lead to better future. The hardest part, is making that choice without knowing what it will turn out. At the same time, it is the best thing about life, because you always don't know where it will lead you to, and that makes life interesting.

 

Here I am, sitting at one of the cafe with my laptop, jacket and water bottle, enjoying the calmness that I have after finishing one month of work. I needed this...It is our choice to come up and experience something different..and now we know how is it like and how it runs...One thing for certain, I miss the city. So perhaps, this is not my cup of tea. 

When working, you are always concerning about what you should do, what you should not say, who you should avoid etc. This can be pretty tiring and exhausting physically and mentally. After all, I am just an intern. Sometimes I just wish I can throw away that intern or trainee name that was stick on my forehead. Nevertheless,  I still have door open because I am just an intern. 

Sometimes I think my life is too straight...I need some excitement..I need to do something extraordinaire so when I have kids in the future, I can proudly tell them that I have done this and that. So far, I have not achieve that yet. And time is ticking! When is the best time to do this other than after graduating and before starting a real job? 

I am looking, searching for the best choice I have out there..and hopefully, it will come soon. =)

2 years, and growing strong

The day is here...The day is finally here...The day that I am anticipating..The day that I am longing, and it is finally here...

2 years....2 years...

Not too long, not too short either..

It was my first two years and damn, I want it more. I know, years or days is not a measurement of how far a couple had both walked and how much they had both achieved together as one..but it certainly meant something to me..and a day to celebrate our reunion.

From a person who is very meticulous when it comes to special date, to a person who keeps forgetting about special date...Had I grown much in this relationship? I believe it is something that only both of us will know. It is no longer a surprise to myself that I cannot be separated from this guy in my life anymore, and hell yeah I want to spend the rest of my life with him if god permits and if fate willing to walk down this road together with us.

Never ever in my life I want something so badly, and never ever in my life, I am so comfortable with this person. B is the best thing that ever to me, and forever will be the best gift ever given to me. He is my light that shows me the way, the sun that shines through my day, the sea that brings me calmness and the wind that blows me away. And the only person that can changed me into such a poetic person. haha....

Like b said, love was never a word before I met you.

Likewise, I only knew what love is after I met you.

Happy Anniversary Baby Aaron

I love you, more than ever.

Love,
Baby Lin

One small achievement

My first ever event dinner...

The day started with me waking up earlier so I can make up. FYI..I don't have to make up to work! Wheeeee~ After all I am working at the back of the office and hence, no make up. =p At first I thought putting on a bit of eyeliner and eye shadow is consider quite heavy and worrying that I may appear to be overly make-up-ed. But I was wrong. As compared to others, mine was consider very very minimal. Talk about heavy eyeliner, fake eye lashes and blusher. hmmmm..

I think i prefer minimal make up..=p

Even though we were all dressed up for dinner at night, due to the lacking of manpower, we still need to stand by for an event at the casino before moving over to the Convention Centre. Imagine us dressing up for dinner and standing by for a race...tsk tsk tsk..

However, after the race has ended, we immediately went over to the Convention Centre and was greeted with this amazing decor...

Even I was blowned away by this...

Well, this was the first event we performed telemarketing for and also the first event dinner that we attended during our internship...We helped out at the registration and standing by at the entrance to monitor the guest's movement. Other than that, we are pretty much relax and we were even invited to sit down and have our dinner together with all our superior. Awkward much but what to do...haha..

The interior of the hall was also pretty astonishing. 

Come to think of it, the dinner is damn worth it...We have lobster, abalone, prawns, chicken and duck, bird nest...whatelse can you ask for wei seriously! Oh ya, not forgeting freeflow of wine and beer...tsk tsk tsk..Even so, there are so many guests who ffk and did not turn out for the dinner...

At the end of the dinner, all the staffs including us lined up at the exit to thank our guests for coming by and bid good bye to them. Many of the guests left with a smiling face and mostly thanked us for all our hard work. I was standing next to B and some even said it is as though it we were the bride and groom of the dinner..XD XD 

At the beginning, I winded a lot and thought that doing telemarketing over and over again was such a waste of time..But after I attended the dinner and saw our guests leaving with a smiley face, I knew that even though I have not contributed much for the dinner, I am still proud that I was part of the team that had invited them for this dinner. 

This..( Most of them.) is the team who performed telemarketing day and out. Worked our ass out to reach our targeted pax for the event..They are the pros in telemarketing...clap hand clap hand! =)

More events to come and more people to call...Besides this, we also have our individual assignment/project whichever way that you call it..Basically, it is like a little dissertation that we do within the period of our internship and it will be evaluated at the end of our internship..Just hope that everything will go accordingly and all our hardwork will be appreciated at the end of the day. Fingers crossed! =)

Family is coming up next week! haha. I am excited!! Well! It is time to show my parents where we work everyday ( Of course not the casino =p ), and time to show them I am doing well! =p First month ending soon, time flies ya! 

Till then....XOXO

A bit of gossip

It is almost the Fourth week already! haha..I am not denying that I am counting down now..=p Time is passing really fast these few days and hey, fourth week coming soon and the event that we were busy calling in week one is happening next week. Excited excited! haha. After all, this will be our first event dinner during our internship and hey! Its partially our hardwork lo..

My mum called me while working that day and guess what! She bought me a branded handbag from USA! @@ I was super surprise lo! haha..thinking that my mum don't really spent much on shopping and suddenly out of no where, she bought me a branded bag. Call me noob la, but if you are my close friend you will know that I don't spent on bags..haha..Well, for me, as long as I can throw everything in my bag and it is useable i am happy with it. I don't really care about branding because I don't have any income now. I would rather spent it one eating than spending it all on a bag. =p Yeap, food is more important to me. Anyhow! Thank you mum! Even though I have not seen the bag..haha...XD

You know in those drama or movies showing office drama and there are this cunning personnel who always try to climb to the top using dirty tricks? I finally seen it in real life and gosh, this kind of people is scary. My style of working is do whatever that is given to me and ask whenever I have question in my mind. I would not think of serong ways to get to the top, probably because I am too straight and scary cat to do so..Well, we will just sit back and watch the drama then..haha..

Nothing much to update since my life is pretty boring up here..haha..I can not wait for our holiday after internship ends! XD just pray that everything will go accordingly! Then hello sunshine and beach! Wheeeeees..Alright..Time to get ready for work...toodles!!!

Yeap..we are crazy buggers who came down all the way from Genting because we are missing our warm and cozy home..not forgetting home cook meal. So after B finished work at 11, we drove down from Genting and headed home. ( Warning :: Never engaged in serious conversation while driving through winding roads. It will result in nausea and eventually leads to vomit. @@ )

After keeping our stuffs at home, we headed over to Nirvana for Banana Leaf for our dinner..

My banana leaf love..XD XD

Despite getting giddy because of the winding roads, once I see this, my appetite immediately came back and off i go! Attack my food! Super satisfied at the end of the meal. 

Even though the bed is constantly luring me back to him, but I still woke up early to prepare this for lunch..

Home cook pasta with anything that I can salvage from the fridge. Slurrpssss

Well honestly, the thing I cannot stand the most while being up there is that I have to eat out all the time. Yes I am a healthy fanatic so I deteste eating out all the time. Talking about MSG, the oil they use, lacking of vegetables etc. I wish I have my little kitchen up there so at least I won't feel so bad. Even a stove or rice cooker will be good enough. But sadly, cooking not allowed. =( Therefore, I am trying my best to eat as much vegetables as I could, drink oats and cultured drink if it is available, and drink as much water as I can. 

When I was in the kitchen this morning, I was so motivated to cook. Never in my life, I felt so happy because I can cook again. Yeap. I am such a potential housewife. haha. 

Nevertheless, since I still have little time to spare, let's intro my room up there.

This is the place we are staying..the old hotel that I had mentioned earlier..

My room. Trying to make it as homely as I could. Yeap, those are my babies who protected me every night. =)

View from my room. Perhaps this will be something that i will miss in the future.

This is how I online when I am free. 

This is how I look now. Yeap. My hair is growing longer and no, I am not losing weight i think. =)

Sunset on the hill is not bad also...nice..

Wearing formal to work everyday. Tie and jacket is a must for guys. 

Come to think of it, no matter how much I miss home, I will appreciate every single moment that I have up there. Gain as much as I can and learn new things wherever I go. In the future, I will surely miss this moment like how I miss Kuantan now. haha. So live life to the fullest with no regrets. Sorry about me complaining about how it was at the beginning, it takes time to adapt into a new environment no? So yeap! Off I go back up now and will see you guys very soon! Aza Aza Fighting! =)
