The life.

It's Friday!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I know why working people love Fridays and hence the TGIF! LOL! I like my job but it is just tiring. I am not complaining but I only have 6hours of sleep everyday (normally I need to have at least 8hours!) and the transportation to work is not the best. Well, welcome to the working world you say? I know. LOL!

I went to the accommodation office to enquire about the time we need to return the keys on 22nd June and they say by 10am. NICE! My friend is helping me move out in the evening of 22nd June! I asked if they would allow just till the end of the day and...lets say they are harsh mean people!!! Hmph! Anyway, I would have to ask if my friend could do it on the 21st instead. Mike is returning on the 21st itself and he would have to come and help me out. Poor thing =p

Worst of all, I haven't pack. Just 3-4 more days to move out (excluding weekdays as I do NOT have the time to pack at all!) and I only have a garbage bag sized winter clothes packed up. Great. I need to do something!

Anyway, I took half day off from work today as I had to go Uni to attend to something. Oh oh oh...Today is BC's Birthday! Woooot! But she just got back from Ireland so me and Ching Yee couldn't celebrate with her today. Either tomorrow or Sunday.

As I was typing this post, I called Ching Yee to remind her about meeting Keshia for lunch one Sunday. Then:
*Message from Ching Yee*
Results out already.

Anxiety FLOODED in! Too high till I pressed the 'END CALL' button when she said 'Hello?' =.= pai seh! So yes, I checked and.................I have every reason to be emo! It wasn't what I expected (definitely expected higher) but....it's the final class that counts?! Yeah...I'd like to think of it that way. At least I didn't fail any and......it's the final degree class that counts! LOL! There's more to life than dwelling over something you could not change. So...I am graduated?! Woooooooooot! Technically I am but still need to wait for Graduation Ceremony. I think. LOL!

Aih.....EMO larh! Luckily the pair of shoes I spotted on ASOS yesterday is gone today. If it was still selling, it's definitely added to my collection! Well the degree class was expected...just that the individual grades are a little disappointing. ROAR! Going to watch 'Apartment' and hopefully pack some of my stuff by today.

Ben & Jerry's would do great at a time like this! Dorrito's Tangy Cheese (Sharing Bag) is a satisfactory replacement anyway...and I am not SHARING!

First day at work.

First day in an insurance company for my work (experience). Well, lets say I haven't heard of the words...'premium', 'quotation', 'sum insured' and many more insurance jargon for a loooooooong time. Actually, since when I was physically away from my mum. LOL! Actually I was glad I stuck on to her like a magnet all those years when she was working as it really did helped me grasp what on earth these words meant and how the whole insurance thing work.

There were two similar aged people working there too to gain work experience (like me), one is Ken (my relative's friend) and the other is Coco (a girl whom I worked with during CNY 08). [Totally unrelated, her bf is Naija too! LOL! And she is addicted to black (no racial discrimination intended) people like a fat kid loves cake!!! No, I am not addicted to them but I don't hate them either. Colour really doesn't matter to me, the individual as a person is what matters most.] Anyway moving on, I arrived 20minutes earlier and someone finally gave me a task like half an hour later!

As usual, being at work the first day, everything was done so quickly (I am very the semangat). I kept bugging them for work to do! LOL! There was quite a lot to do if you know what to do but I am still learning as I am not familiar with the process yet. What I find most interesting is that they actually SPEAK in Cantonese to their clients. Technically, it shouldn't be a problem for me but OH MY LORD!!! I was given the most tough task EVER on my first day! I was asked to make calls to clients to remind them that their policy is due in a week time and if they want to renew it, I had to remind them to pay up. This is so high school treasurer's job...a.k.a. LOAN SHARK! LOL! Honestly, I almost pee in my pants when I was given that task. It was my first day at work, first time calling up strangers, first time speaking fully in Cantonese after ages, first time using insurance terms IN CANTONESE! HOLLY tuuuuut!

One of my colleague thought me what to do and how and she did a few examples for me to see how she spoke to clients. Then it was all up to me. Seriously, my fingers were like frozen and ready to fall off anytime! I was THAT nervous! DUH! Trust me, I bet the client was blur with what I said. Not to mention the addressing part! You know how Chinese surnames are not pronounced similar to English pronunciations?! For example, Mr. Lee=Lei Sang, Mrs. To=Dou Tai, Miss Lim=Lam Siew Che etc. Knowing I am not from a Chinese educated background, this IS my worst nightmare! Till now I still don't know how to pronounce my company's name properly in Cantonese. LOL! It's either Wan Kau or Wan Dau, similar =p

I did some minor paperwork too like filing and photocopy and also sending out letters. It is so funny how everything had to be rushed before 4pm for the postman to collect =s That was madness! Anyway, according to my work experience colleagues, I was considered lucky to have done what I did today (basically the calling up clients part) as they did not even do that on their first day! Hmm...maybe I am but the anxiety was definitely not positive! Freak the sh*t out of me! But hey, am getting the hang of it =D

Oh yea...I forgot to bring snacks and I didn't notice my appetite increased. Being the super hero, I didn't bring snacks and only had a small bowl of muesli this morning. My tummy grumbled LOUDLY just an hour before my lunch time and again an hour before off work time. Damn! I reached home at 7.30pm. I swear, I could SWALLOW a cow! Need to slowly re-train my tummy =(

This is the time to reset my biological clock. Hope this post was not boring as it was purely words. LOL! Watched 13 going on 30 (again) while swallowing my cow. Time to think what to wear for tomorrow and what to bring for lunch and...I am going to bed!

Shopping fixated hence the spree!

Early this morning I was all excited waiting for THE time. According to the weather forecast, it would be a rainy day...as in the whole day! So technically, it would be the worst day to go out. However, my ass is itching to go out! Yesterday alone I watched 4movies? Pfft! So I figured I better go out and have a walk *cough cough* (I planned to go shopping). I am starting my work experience job (not paid) in an insurance company on Monday so I needed some stuff to prepare for that. Mainly things to be used on rainy days as I would have to walk a distance to get the bus to the office. Well lets say when it comes to shopping, SOMETIMES things goes out of hand *big grin*

Finally! Been wanting to get an umbrella for ages!
This was...random! LOL!
Pink neon tights- 98pence
Fishnet tights (2pair)- 1pound.This is essential! As I mentioned couple of posts before, the sole of most of my shoes are cracked so I need a pair of boots that would be wearable during the rainy weather too.
Funny enough, this was the ONLY design of boots in Primark (all sandals and pumps). There were only 3pairs left; size 4, 5 and this is a size 7! I usually wear 5/6 but this 5 was too tight. So I took size 7, a little too big but...5pounds (RRP:15pounds)! WTF?! GRAB!

This may look random. Well I have yet to pimp it up =)

I need a pair of multi purpose and comfy pair of shoes for long distance walking. I know, you guys in Malaysia must be thinking why on earth did I bought a pair of 'prefect shoes'...well, this is THE IN thing here. A normal pair of black pumps which we Malaysians wear for shopping, is their school shoes! Ironic. LOL! The most common colours are white, black and grey. I would have taken grey but there wasn't any in my size. White needs high maintenance and it's so...school shoes! At least black is prefect's shoes. HAHAHA! Oh and only 1.96pounds (Giler cheap!)

Ohh this is the first time I bought something from H&M (I think). It is 2 for 1! They were perfect cutting too! LOVE at first TRY! I queued for over 30minutes just to try on 6pairs of shorts in Primark and NONE of them fitted me nicely! Well there was one but it was 11pounds for a super thin material. Decided that it wasn't worth the price.

Look at the shorts!!! *hearts* The material is like formal working shorts, not denim. Nice!

Ohh and I bought the top too. Unnecessary buy but...it was reduced to 1pound! LOL! (yes, the price tag is still stuck on *pai seh*)

Second pair of shorts. Always wanted a blue denim pair of shorts!

This was so random too! I saw it on the reduced rack and I took it out to have a look. Loved the material. Due to the massive queue for the fitting room, I just tried it on in front of a reflective wall with my clothes under. Totally loved how it came out! So vintage (a little Mischa Barton)! Perfect with my fishnet tights =p

Oh and it was reduced from 13pounds to 5pounds!

This was on the same reduced price rack and I tried it on with my clothes under too. Love the colour...lime green. This is so Lady Gaga...Retro! Reduced from 11pounds to only a fiver =)

Besides the shorts (H&M), everything else was from Primark. Who says cheap is ugly?! Pfft! And who says Primark stuff are cheap quality? Pfft! Okay some of them are but you just have to choose the good quality ones which would eventually be reduced to the same price as the cheap quality ones. Hence, you would get good quality ones for a cheap price! This is called wise spending. LOL! Says a shopaholic. Bwhahahhaha!

Best of all, it didn't rain one bit when I was out the whole day! LOL! It was a little chilly because there was thunderstorms early in the morning but I only went out just before noon as the shops open at noon. Anyway, productive day =D Looking forward to start work tomorrow!

Going and gone...

Who is going? He is going. What is gone? My senses! LOL! Too much horror movie?! Nah...

He is at the airport now =( Going away for two weeks and two days. My phone would be silent again (not like it has been very busy anyway =p). What is two weeks compared to three months?! LOL! I will miss him but I will be fine =) Oh the picture we took at Studio London finally arrived! This was the printed copy so I had to wait for them to send it to me.

Okay I know this looks super cheesy! LOL!

For some reason, I still think I look FAT in this picture!

I have been horror movie marathon-ing lately as I am bored as hell without a job. I have watched at least two horror movies in a day plus other chick flicks and TV series. Damn. I need a life! Oh...what's a post without food =)

Toasted multi grain bread with avocado and melted cheese.
Cheesy chips with ketchup.
(Nothing near KFC's cheesy wedges!!!!)

Because my cheese was expiring...LOL!
I made pasta with ham and cabbage and tomato sauce. Then emptied the whole bag of grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese on my pasta.

Then into the oven to melt to perfection!

Because I had apples and was craving for dessert...I made apple cake(s).

It looks yummy!!! Crunchy top!

Ate the first one with a bar of dark chocolate coated vanilla ice-cream.

And had the second one with custard.

Nice!

Chicken soup!!! With egg noodles.

Left over chicken soup with rice sticks (thin ho fun)

Today I was trying to pack up some of my things. Just realized I compiled a whole lot of receipts for...fun =.=

I managed to pack...a bag of winter scarf!

Only 17days to move out...PACK Mel, PACK!!!

Okay, back to horror movie...Art of the Devil 3.

Britney Spears in London!!!

I want to go Britney's concert!!!
I've asked 6 people? to go with me and all of them are not interested =(

Okay I know she put on weight and doesn't move as sleekly as before but....it's BRITNEY! Knowing that I will never get a chance to see her in Malaysia (my oh so beautiful country *sarcasm intended*), this is the perfect chance. Except...I would have to go alone =( What is the fun in concert when you are alone?!

On the other hand, the lower tier which is between the VIP and the upper tier is selling at discounted prices from people who either can't make it or had extra tickets. Guess how much is it? Only 20pounds!!! Hell yeah!!! From 70pounds! OMG OMG OMG! Okay that deal was over and the next cheapest is 30pounds now! Still! *cries, kick around, stomp my feet, faint* LOL! Going to a Britney concert for 30pounds...something I should take advantage of...right?! Maybe I will...let me see if there are anymore last minute tickets for sale =p I will go alone!

PS: I am excited partly because it is my first ever concert! Like proper popular artist concert! LOL!

PPS: Someone is going away for two weeks and two days. Going to miss you! =(
