Singapore .. here I come

As most of you may have known, I am going over to Singapore next week. This is the trip that always been in my mind for months, but all the while I am just saying I will go one day, but never really think about it, until Froggie says "ok, I will go with you".

We started to plan in August. At first, we face lots of problems like accommodation, transportation etc. How can we go to SG if we don't have place to stay. Staying in hotel is an option, but we just can't afford the room rate. We kept on asking friends, and got "sorry, there's no space in my house for you guys to stay" as the reply. Then Ah Chai's name came into light, I asked her about it and I was thinking of getting no as reply, but she said "ok, no problem". We got our 1st green light.

First week of Sept, we managed to buy our ticket from Penang to SG. One step towards our plan.
Our passports? Checked. Got our 3rd green light.

Then what's left is our return ticket from JB to Penang. We got bad news from TAC for 2weeks, telling us the ticket is not yet out/can't buy the ticket for us. We began to sweat, asking around for others to help us buy, and finally got a call from TAC early in 20th morning, and tickets settled!

All the problems had been solved, and we are only waiting for the moment to come, and make sure that we get our buttocks onto the bus, and we are good to go.

Thanks to TAC, who has been 'pestering' us to go to SG since last year, and buying the tickets for us.

Thanks to Ah Chai, who is so generous as she promised to let us squeeze in her room during our trips.

Thanks to FattyMeng, who turn down all the part-time jobs except for 1 (according to him), just to be our tour guide and accompany us.

Thanks to ZL, as I always disturb you during you sleeping hour, and you never say no when I asked you to help me buy bus ticket. Hope you managed to get half-day leave and meet up with me.

Beside this, special thanks to the organizers of UUM IT course gathering in Genting. If not because of you guys, guess we will never make up our mind for this trip in the first place.

Moving out

I rent a house in Penang here, and I am with this house for almost 2 years now. Since GYM moved out, I become the only 'bao zhou po' for this house, and of course I just hope that no one will move out anymore, as I am lazy to find new housemates, and I have to bear for the room rental as well if the room is left unoccupied for a month. Due to people comes people goes, I had been paying for the room rental 2 times this year, and it costs me total of RM 360.

This year itself, my house's middle room has been changing ownership for 3 times, and this 30th, it is going to welcome its new owner... that’s me ^_^ ... I really don't know whether I should laugh or cry actually.

This current housemate of mine, she just moved in 3 months back, and now she is going to leave this month. And already being numb to this situation, I told her to give me 1 month notice and I went to 7-11 to stick the 'looking for housemate' advertisement again. And lucky enough, a girl called me up and wanted to have a look at the room.

Well, an hour before she came that night, I chat with JiaLing (the other housemate of mine), talking about my plan to buy a car. Then this girl, she came and had a quick look, and then she's gone. We thought that she is not going to rent here as she just took a quick glance. But, she smsed me and told me she wants the room. Well maybe that time I am depressed, maybe I am just thinking of $$$, maybe I am already tired of searching for housemate again and again, I smsed her back and told her she can take the master room if she is interested. I am the one who occupying the master room now. And then she said OK.

So this 30th, I am going to move out from master room, and move in to middle room. No more personal bathroom and I guess no more 'borrowing' unsecured wireless connection after this month. Lolz ... Is this a smart move or the stupidest move I ever make? Well, I can't comment right now. But at least I can be sure of one thing, I can save some $$ then.

Yes, I do have friends ... lots of them

Well ... to all my friends out there, I am sorry for thinking that you guys had already forgotten me. I am such a jerk. The real fact is, I do have friends afterall. They are willing to stretch out their hands when I need them.

To those who called me up during my first day in UUM just to check whether I was ok, I treasure you guys, and I cried when you asked me "there ok or not".

To those who never fail to remember my birthday, I cherish you.

To those who give me a ride on their cars/motors, I appreciate you.

To those who never fail to lend me his helping hands, I value you.

To those who provide me support and shoulders when I am facing tough times, I am grateful to have you as my friends.

I love you all, and friends forever

Do I have friends?

I like to play games, and chatting in MSN. But last night, while I was in MSN, something hit me hard. I realised that actually I do not have much friends, I mean real good friends who I can chat anything with. Well, talking craps with anyone works well for me, but when I want to share my feeling, express my happiness and sadness, there are only a few of them. These so called good friends are less than 10. With us moving into working world, and leaving behind schooling, I can say that I actually lost contact with 95% of my classmates.
Well .. I am not the type of girl who is pretty and outstanding, but all the while I thought that I am good at making friends, as I have lots of friends from different backgrounds and age. When I was in MSN last night, about 9 or 10 friends were online, but I didn't have the heart to chat with them. I asked myself why, and the only answer I have is, beside talking craps, what else you can chat with them? Then one of my friends, he came online, and we started to chat for awhile, then he introduced me to read a book (online book reading), and guess what, he started to read the book and told me "we chat next time". At that very moment I felt hurt, cuz I thought that since we seldom chat with each other, and we have the chance to meet online, we should spend the time chatting, but he chose to spend the rest of the time reading a book, a book where he can read anytime he wants... WTH...
But after gave it a second thought, well ... I know that its not his fault anyway. It is just that everyone has different mindsets and everyone weight things differently. What is important to me might not be important to him, and vice versa. I felt much better, and I lost the mood to chat anymore .. To the guy who ignored me last night, you better not MSNing me cuz I will revenge...

Future

I don't have a car. Actually I was thinking of buying a car last year, as it is hard for me to go to work and get back to home after work without any transport. But due to some reasons, I dropped it.
Too bad that there is no public transportation which will pass through my company. If yes, then definitely I will take it.

Buying a car means need to fork out additional $$$, paying loan monthly and also for the petrol and maintenance fees. I saved enough to pay for the deposit.
But since a few weeks or months back, I have been thinking of going to Singapore to work in order to earn more $$.
Since I am still single and unattached and no commitment, why don't I go to SG for a year or 2 and work there?

But 2 weeks ago, my sister pointed out that I need to buy a car. So we went to take a look at Myvi last weekend, and one Myvi needs RM 50K. This is ok, as this is within my budget. But one thing is, if I am going to buy a car right now, which means that I am not able to go to SG anymore. My borne will completed in Feb'09, which mean I still have 5 months to go. Then after that I will only thinking of whether I want to continue with my current job, or find other jobs or going to SG. What should I do? Buy a car or don't buy first? Go to SG or Stay in Penang? Well, I am going to SG during Raya, and if I really 'click' with SG, then I think I will probably going over to SG. And I know that my mom doesn't want me to go there to work.

I don't know how is my future, but I chose this career path, so I guess I will stick with it for now, as its hard for me to back to IT path anymore .. sigh ...
