The Wandering Mind

I was driving to One Utama and spotted this in the sky.

Someone told me it is the emission of the plane that is operated by a trainee pilot.

I wish I could do that too...

My First Full Time Job

My security pass.

Wrong name, it’s CHIN TZY YING. Don’t ask me why, it always happens. I think it’s my writing. I will TRY to write better the next time.

Can’t tell where I am working, ain’t it? =P

Here, I am taking up the greatest challenge to do something out of my comfort zone. It is something which I have never thought that I will be taking up for my full time job. It feels like listening to a different genre of songs that originated from Hulukan (Don’t ask me where that is. I don’t think it exists).

My mentor told me to think of it as being paid to learn. I actually feel better that way =)

I have something else that actually made my day pretty much.

I got an email from a fairly big company and the sender was requesting if I can take up the opportunity to work for them. I was reading it before I went to sleep last night. You can try to imagine how I was trying to keep myself down from making the news too surprising to anyone. To date, not many people are aware of this fact and I did not plan to make it known to everybody. Hated to be jinxed like the time before this. Oh well, I am only available for other posts in Sept. I am sure hope they will wait for me. Or else, it’s just too bad…

There She Goes Again

Ever since the first interview on 4^th March, I sorta know that I am not gonna go for other interviews. I was thinking of making things better by not burning the bridge too soon for the others. I did that anyhow. In fact, I am glad that I did because that MADE time for me to do the necessary cleaning and moving.

Monday

Got the key in the morning. Headed to the The Bee for lunch. Contemplated in the restaurant. That was when a lot of picture taking took place.

As much as I do not want to skip the interview, I did. So, I went to Cold Storage and got the stuffs for cleaning purpose.

Before I started off with anything, I decided to have another series of picture taking. Intention: to have the satisfaction for having to be able to polish everything clean and clear.

After cleaning, I was bored. So I camwhored.

Tuesday

Suppose to have another interview but I sent the email JUST IN TIME to cancel it. This time, the real moving in!

I have to say that I am very proud of myself by having the room done by myself. Many thanks to you, Catherine! =P

I finally have my own dressing table! First one ever!!

Satisfied me

Yeah, that's my share of the wardrobe. Fully utilized!

I recently fell in love with taking pictures of my feet...

Uh hum, excuse me ah!

Raptors Watch – Annual Event by MNS

Vomited the night earlier and I guess I should be very much dehydrated. Well, that’s another story…

My cell group leader is one of those who think the idea of bird watching is exciting. Not for me, actually. However, I guess everything has its own first time.

On board with me was Chow Pong, the infamous environmentalist (He never admits that he is). There we go for the raptors watch in Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson.

Many cars. Seriously... Thinking back, I should have taken a picture of that to show you.

We took a tour to the mangrove. I was not completely thrilled if you ask me.

Understand this. I used to stay in “kampong” where snakes, reptiles, king fishers or other exotic animals like owls are normal to me. We see them almost every day. My aunt used to stay by the beach where my mom would brought the four of us there for picnic and when the season is right, we would be catching “lala” or in the more correct term, “siput”. The best part is of course the dinner!

Coming back to the tour, I found it really fascinating! A lot of things become clear to me. I always wonder why the concrete platform looks so weird with small stones on it especially when they are just next to the beach. I thought it may be the course of the water that pushes to the shore that eroded the initial structure of it. Well, now I know better that it is not! Living things are on it and I have been stepping on them for whatever reasons…

Our guide to the mangrove

Not dung ok! They are the sand balls the crabs made

roots

Found a heart shaped stone!

Look at the root! Look at the root!

We went up to the light house. I was really looking forward to it. Actual fact is that I went there just to see the light house within close distance. (I was in Port Dickson for more than 2 months and I never got the chance to do so. Shame on me.) Going up to the hill was a little exhausting. Thanks to the lack of physical excises. Yes, I did manage to go up there but it was nothing like I imagine. Expected too much out of it… As for the raptors, they were not out yet.

As we were in the café chilling, all of them began to wonder in the sky in group! It was a great view. U gotta see it to know what I am trying to word here.

This is not a green event. I can assure you. If you think animal lovers are equally passionate about preserving the natural environment, you may be wrong. Same thing applies, you may be wrong if you think environmentalists are equally passionate about animals.

That aside, when I said that it is not a green event, I mean to say that there are no or little measures taken to ensure that materials involved and used in this event are environmentally friendly. Nop, I am not talking Catherine terms (Some of you may know how critical I am when it comes to the carbon footprint). I think any layman can tell that the packagings used are not environmentally friendly. The irony. We can never get everyone to be aware of the impact they created. The fact that they are coming forward to the event and showing support to MNS is quite a good start. At least, they are not emitting carbon in the shopping mall or sleeping with air conditioner on for more than 10 hours. That’s my two cents worth.

Now, it just gives the energy to do something. I shall make this another blog post.

SPM Result Slip + Foundation Cert

Over the telephone with mom:-

Me: Ma, help me to find my Foundation cert and SPM result slip.

Mom: Where you keep?

Me: Somewhere at home.

Mom found my SPM cert magically and she asked if sister knew where I placed the Foundation cert. Sister called:-

Sis: Where you put your Foundation cert?

Me: Somewhere at home.

And then both Foundation cert and SPM result slip are on their way to PJ.

Being Chinese-ed

I know I am chinese-ed.

Most of the times, I will ignore people who talk to me in that frame of mind.

Seriously?

1. I do not know what lala really means. And I think it is a compliment for not being described as one.

2. Yes I know mandarin but it does not mean that I know everything about China.

3. I never been to China. Yet.

4. Kiasu, kiasi & kiaboh. That is for typical Chinese, not the Chinese-ed only. And also, there is no relationship between Chinese-ed or otherwise and those characteristics.

5. We listen to Chinese songs because they are nice not because we are a bunch of emo people. Excuse me?!

Stupid Question Like These

I got strangers came by sometimes asking incredibly silly questions:-

1.

Stranger : Do you feel younger after sex?

Me : I am 24 and I think I'm still young.

Stranger: Yeah, like feeling younger?

Me: Feeling like 5 each time after sex?!

2.

Stranger : Can I date you?

Me : I have a boyfriend.

Stranger : A small date, please?

Me : I don't know what a small date is like. Does that got to do with what is inside your pants?
