X jobless.

Because I am bored...because I am concentrating too much on unnecessary things (more like THING)...because I need a life!

I got myself a job =)

Optimistic pessimism?

My first interview went well. It was a full time job thou...as in one day off in a month kind of job. Well, I am not sure if I am able to commit myself to a full time job as yet but I would definitely be glad if I would be given the opportunity to engage in an environment with children =) After all, I might go into Child Psychology in future. I am still awaiting the confirmation from my first interview and we'll see how it goes. Other than that, another interview from another teaching center is coming up...Monday! We'll see how that will turn out =)

Yesterday another interesting happened. I came back from a date *cough* with a friend and as I entered the elevator, two lady was in there with me. One of them said to me "Oh I was just admiring your hair. Is it real?" and I replied "Oh thanks. Yeah it's real". Basically she asked if I would be interested to earn some money at the mean time. Would you say no?! LOL! Well she lives in the same block as me and yeah, I gave her my mobile number. LOL! I hope it is what I think it is but at the same time...good things don't happen that easily. Optimism with a slight hint of pessimism.

Having to battle out pessimism with optimism is never easy. Things happen out of our intentions and as much as we would like to stop doing that stupid ridiculous thing, a certain part of us just do not have the will power to over come that pessimism. People around us could only advice us and remind us what we are getting ourselves into, we have to take charge from there. Do I have the will power to change something I know is wrong and make it right? I honestly do not know.

Ever been in a state whereby you think you knew it all and that you could control yourself to do what is right but you just couldn't when you are in that situation? Yeah, it certainly feels horrible. Never been in that situation? Well, imagine if you're given a chance to give your love and care to someone, would it be on 5 needy children or on your prince charming. Who would you plant your tlc on? People out of that situation might think that it is wiser to give it to 5 needy children than on one person. If you have a prince charming, would you sacrifice all your tlc for THE ONE and give it to 5 other strangers? If you say yes, who are you kidding?! Like...honestly?!

I've learnt that life's not a bed full of roses, somewhere in the bed of roses is a mistake one made...a thorn left to hurt us to remind us that we are in the real world. Never to assume that there is no thorns left in the bed of roses made for us. Watch out for a thorn after indulging in the scent of a beautiful rose, to just be prepared to handle the thorn that might be hiding under the bed of roses...

Double news =)

Yesterday it was my brother's Birthday. Happy 23rd Birthday! LOL! Kinda slow in updating blogs but I did celebrate with him =) Thanks to the jet lag (external LOC =p), I totally forgot his birthday was coming up in the next two days! That was on Tuesday. I went to the gym and with the excellent treadmill that could only go up to 4.9km/h max, I fast walk and could actually write and draw at the same time! So I took down notes on what to do and how to do it in two days!

Everything planned out so next step, get the venue. I know who his boss was but I don't have his number. I remember my brother gave me his name card. I called up his office and enquire =p Venue sorted! Next, food! Special thanks to Nick and Su Yee for accompanying me to MV to get the stuff.

The day of his Birthday, he went out to work at 8ish (I assume). I woke up at 9.30am and head towards the kitchen to begin. Ohh before that, the night before I slept at 3.30am just to finish his "Happy 23rd Birthday" sign =p So yes, cooking...just 10minutes in and the gas went out on me! *ROAR* Luckily there was a spare gas tong! One problem...how on earth to change the head?! Gas is deadly if mishandled! And no, I am not ready to die! Hence, *riiiiiiing* Nick =p Thank you so much babe for flying to my place after my call! LOL! Food done!

I was a little behind time with all the cooking but it seemed okay. Got his colleagues to kick him out of the office while we quickly set up the place. Then we were waiting for him to come in and get surprised himself =p the video is proper funny! He did looked blurr: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=136009778999&subj=532728999

It was all good. Thanks to everyone for making it happen =) Special thanks to Nick (yes, again) for helping me out so much! You're the best bud a person could ever have! =)

*******************************

That aside. Yesterday I was also busy sending out emails and application forms for jobs. Yes, I have started after just a week here. Today, I got a call from Children's Technology Workshop =) I was invited for an interview tomorrow! Wheeeeeeee! Wish me luck! =) I have always wanted to work in an environment with children and youths as I am planning to take my Masters in Child Psychology or Youth Counseling.

It struck me how important initiative is....which lack in many these days. People, especially university students or fresh graduates should take the initiative to plan their future. Yes, live life as it is but planning a few years ahead is important too. Imagine having a life in the future but lack finances or shelter...hmm not a pleasant sight. Then again, I am not saying you have to bust your as$ for a million dollar making job before you can enjoy. Enjoy and have fun but at the same time make sure you have something standby for emergency use. Being at 20, I feel that it is so important to be prepared for my future. Everything is getting more and more expensive (A bottle of Nutella cost RM23!!! I can't get over that!)!

Sometimes it makes me feel sad to see people around me, friends, who have absolutely no idea what they want in life. Just living by the day itself, having debts, depending entirely on loans, have a part-time job that is no way related to their future career. It is just sad. Maturity, exposure and initiative is so important!

"I wish you knew what you want. I wish you knew I wanted to help. I wish you knew how important your future is. Then again, they are all my wishes"

Updates.

Sorry for the MIA again! LOL! This LG Phone of mine is giving me troubles. I need to turn off the phone, take out the battery, take out the micro chip, put micro chip in casing before putting it in the laptop to upload pictures! Yes, that is why I feel lazy to repeat the process so I accumulate pictures to blog all at once =) Here goes...

OMG can't remember when I took this but some time ago. Trying out my stir-fry kuey teow with deep fried tofu and peas and corn. Looks simple but it is really nice!

Foong Mei's 'farewell'...yes, she is back in Malaysia now. Enjoying the food I guess. LOL! So we went to BC's place and we had dinner there. It is a NICE meal! They are really hospitable =) This is so Nam Heong Kai Fan except it is home cooked!
The huge tray of (skinless) chicken with cucumbers and spring onion and sauce. Rice cooked in the chicken stock, soup with spring onions and sliced ginger, garlic and spring onions in soy sauce to go with the chicken. NICE!!!

The huge tray of chicken! Super large!

The sauce to eat with...ginger, garlic, spring onions and soy sauce.

Dessert =) Profiteroles in Belgian chocolate sauce.

*hearts*

End of the day...(sorry, poor quality)

Sweet craze...I was early for training so I decided to visit Brent Cross Shopping Center after like 4months since my last visit. Went in M&S to get a sandwich but I came out with a sandwich AND TWO CAKES! I ate the other cake already so there's only one picture =p The other cake was Dark Chocolate Cake with Cherry filling. NICE!

This is too creamy but still love it! Cakes are my weakness! Ate both cakes all by myself in 5days. OMG!

Sedaps but Gemuks too!

Also, the other day I went grocery shopping after two weeks due to horrible weather and extreme laziness (ehh have to walk 20mins there and 20mins back with all the groceries k). So yea, bought loads of stuff.

Dinner last night.

Stir-fried aubergine with Chinese cabbage, asparagus, spring onions in curry sauce. Also, a ham sandwich. Also, potato salad with mayo and spring onions (not in picture). At the rate I am eating, I am freaked out myself!

Cooked this last night to stock up as my aubergine is going soft. LOL! Similar to above but with sliced fried tofu, green peppers, ham, squid, aubergine, spring onions in curry sauce. I think I am eating it with noodles tonight? Yea...most likely.

Besides the sinful cakes and curries, I also bought healthier option for snacks (yes, I eat snacks in between meals too! Shoot!). Haven't try this but I hope it is yummy.

Tried this with slices of banana. Totally yummy! This is a little salty so with the sweetness of the banana....*hearts*

Lately I have been applying for jobs and also sorting out my accommodation as my contract in the hall is till 22nd June. Found one and I am going to view it on Tuesday. Right after my 2nd interview with SOVA (the volunteering project). Yes, I completed the training! Woot! Anyway, now I need to pack up some of my stuff that I won't be using and send it back to Malaysia. I am also trying to sell some of my stuff off! Any UK-ians interested in organizing a collaborated 'Garage Sale'? LOL!

Lapar! Nak makan!

Cracking moments!

Wheeeeee!~ This is super thick! That is how toilet seat covers should be! Sheesh! LOL!

New cover =D

After my first 'crack' experience, there is just more to come =( And because my mum said I do a lot of unnecessary shopping, I attempted to show her how necessary I need shoe-shopping at this moment...
Crack...

Multiple cracks...

Craaaaaack....

And there is many more shoes that are CRACKED but I didn't take all the pictures...but you get my point.

I need to get a JOB!!!

Oh btw, good news for some of you...I might be going back to Malaysia earlier than expected. Initially I thought of staying till end of August...but my mum just told me that I had to pay for my own accommodation for the next few months. Nice =.= I totalled it up and it is not a decent amount. The amount cut-heart!!! (not throat, but heart! *heart cracks*) Close to 1k pounds that is...*sigh* JOB!!!
