So I started work yesterday on Monday and so far the place has been pretty awesome. Colleagues are friendly, the pace is pretty fast, and the aircon is controllable, so I do not freeze. Too often. :D

That said, there are a few drawbacks. The area has literally no food. To get lunch, you need to drive out. However, there is a pantry area. I have to ( Read more... )

It seems quite a few people I know are having money problems (including yours truly). So I did the next best thing: Opened up Jobstreet and went looking for part time jobs. So far, this is what I have:

Data Entry with Unisys
Hours: 1.30pm to 8pm (fixed)
Pay: RM7 per hour
Breaks: 2 breaks, which seem to come up to a total of 1hr 45 mins, which cuts ( Read more... )

I have learnt:

• My own worst enemy is myself.
  There is really nothing else to be said but that. All the mistakes that I’ve made over the past few days were my own, and I know I can do better. Giving up is not in my nature. It’s seeped in, yes, but I’ll be damned if I allow myself to give up. The whining stops now. It’s time to KATN!

Today has been a series of blahs.

First off, I completely blew my mock lesson. Nerves got the best of me and I simply crumbled under pressure. Although a better term would be to ramble under pressure. On a good note, it seems that I come across as a pretty ok teacher considering that I didn’t have any prior experience teaching, but the problem was ( Read more... )

Especially those who are about to, or are thinking of heading to Japan, please have a look at this particular job.

The past few weeks have been busy, harrowing, and full of ill health. Busy because there's a lot of work that needs to be done. A new client's site has just been launched, with its own set of problems. Am feeling a little guilty because I haven't been pulling my weight the way I should have. I have no regrets though. My family comes first, and so ( Read more... )

Random observations about life:

1. Current eyeshadow that Mom gave me will set better after wiping them with wet tissues. Odd but true. Ok, it turns out that most makeup will set with water.

2. Got my certs yesterday. Now wondering what to do.
