the 1st time i saw my GM was when i report to work the 2nd day (18th feb) after our induction..
he smiled and greet us all.. and say that we could go back home rest and we shall meet up in our new office the next day.
the next day was friday and we met up in the new unfinish renovated office.. there were like 20 till 30ish of us there.. and we were introduce to few department bosses who were there with him already (working with him since last sept/oct 2009)..
and then we were taken to tour the news room, the studio, the empty control room and tat was our day... by noon we could go back home already...
the next few week, we spent our time in office helping out to get stuff ready before we went on air on march 26th.
whenever he saw us, he smiled at us without fail. i remember once when i got early to office on saturday morning and no one was at the office yet and he wanted to print out some documents.. he sought my help to print out by sending the email to me and asked me to print it out..
he thanked me for the help and gently reminded me to delete off the email as it was P&C, i noddded, he smile back and he knew that i understood what he meant.
or some other occasion where my colleagues and i will just laugh out loud talking to each other at our desk and when he past by us at the back, he will just playful said, we should slow our voice down and then we giggled back to which he would turn and smile back..
owh.. and even when 1st few weeks when we went on AIR.. we were running up and down the office to get things ready, he was paving the way for us to walk/run 1st because he knew how hard we were working to get things done...
he never allowed us to call him boss and those calling him boss will be fined RM5 to which the money will be used to buy food to share with everyone.
the last time we had the celebration was when he sent out an email to everyone to celebrate september birthday boys and girls...
7 month plus, of knowing this great man, bad news came in on 27th september, 2.30pm..
we will definitely miss him so much for he was ARENA pillar strength and everyone could just go to him for advise..
seeing his body at the wake today was just unbelieveable, it was as if he was just sleeping and we could just wake him up. i did not shed a tear when i pay the last respect but after that i just broke down into tears..
(his wife is one really tough women, she was trying to stay postive all the while and mentioned to me that, there is just so much positvism that he has instill in everyone of us, i would have to agree)
the office secretary cum manager was the one most affected for she worked together with him all the time.. and she described him as the BEST BOSS SHE EVER HAD...
his presence in each of every ARENians is greatly felt and i do not EVER think anyone could just fit into his place and deliver what he wanted to do for malaysian sports.
i just wish that we could have more time together and guide us to greater heights, but god loves him more but i know we will utilise what you guide us to and aim for further success..
he will be missed by all of us, and i will do my utmost best for the channel.
May he give us the strength and guide us to more success in the future.
Last but not least, may you rest in peace.

farewell, matt
this is just so shocking.. I am coming to accept the term on what has happened when i received a phone call from a colleague of mine at 4pm just now.
the big boss, the vp and gm of astro arena had passed away.. i was shocked beyond words.. i dunno what to say..
he was so young . i remembered the last time i saw him was last wednesday, when he was walking around the newsroom area showing visitors around the office..
since i was off thurs n friday and working on weekend, that was the last i saw him and receiving the devastating call today put me utterly shock..
i feel for his family, wife and a young son.. it's just so devastating.. everyone is grieving for we lost someone who is passionate and wanting to build something for malaysian sports.
on his last speech with us, when the whole arena peopls break Fast together, he didnt get to share his vision and mission for arena for the year 2011.. i just hope i could know what his planning was for us..
will miss him dearly and will always remember his arena mantra for us..
"One person success is every one success, one person failure is every one failure!"
matt mckeown died of heart attack at home around 2.30pm.. hopefully we will be able to pay last respect to him before his body is flown back to australia...
may your soul rest in peace.
it just show that life is just so short, i should stop whining and do something good everyday!

round = fair?
i know i shouldnt be whinning and should be thankful but sometimes life isnt wat you want it to be and you are at the end of all the consequences..
seriously am looking forward to my end year plans already and just wishing october and november come and past by quickly.
this coming 2 month is a KILLER.. i repeat, KILLER month..
why am i receiving all the bad stuff when others actually got more benificial stuff.. i am trying to stay postive all this while but i cant anymore... i am always thinking about others.. but not even once people actually trying to think of me and helping me out..
i seriously had enough of that and just want to stop being nice anymore!

31st Aug
so it's a holiday.. independence day where you are supposed to show your patriotism towards your country...but wwhy am i feeling that this year's celebration is a bit gloomy.. and it was also my off day.. and i slept way past 12 in the noon..
after a loooong hard work weekend.. you just wanna be on your bed as long as u can.. and need not worry about work....but i am workin on this weekend again..dunno how many straight weekends i have been working now..
and at this moment of time, i am wondering whether my dreams is being achieved or i am still far away from what i wanted all this while.. sigh.. it's hard to really determine what you really want but i am blessed on what i have now..maybe would just like to improve myself more to have a greater achievement...
I do believe in faith and karma, and hopefully everything just turn right for me..
p/s : i've been confirmed and my year end holidays are approved already!!! woohoooooo...

all in one
i just got the urge to blog when i know i should be sleeping as i will still be working this coming monday morning cum afternoon.... (wat ever u could called it.. as my working hours is werid)
but i know I HAD TO spill all out what i am feeling now..
how my sunday started so great and how it ended sooo badly at 12am midnight!
work was ok... and since it;s still in the fasting month, we finished everything early and went to bazaar ramadhan to buy some stuff.. but on the way back to office from the bazaar.. accident just happenned.. pity the motorist for they both we, (my colleague and i ) assumed they are heading back home after tapao-ing stuff from the bazaar but they were knocked down by car who didnt see them.. damm it.. thank god they were ok..
back to office.. everything was perfecto with the breaking of fast and all.. and went i sat down back to do my work...dang.. the sienna (a tapeless system we are using.. decided to make problems and died on us when it matters the most).. things just got worst from then.....
i was 5 minutes to on air at 11.00pm when my graphics couldnt be play out live and we had to rectify the problems and re-recorded the news again for the repeat at 2am.. damm it..
mind you that we were in a new control room and studio (actually being downgraded and i never hate english premier league so much than now!!!!)
finished with everything... there were glimmers of hope seeing koo/tan winning our 1st ever gold medal in the world badminton championship.. but it wasnt meant to be.. wining the 1st set, they fought in the 2nd set.. but just could not hold on and gave the chinese pair 2nd set game point.. on the 3rd final & rubber set.. they were trailing all the way.. and i was as ever, hoping for a comeback from them.. cause they played one if not THEIR best MATCH out there.. and luck was also not on their side with the net call and all.. but they really give all they have out there.. and it just wasnt meant to be.. even more sad seeing china sweeping all the 5 title for grab!
but wat i was even more sad was that some of the colleagues was actually saying that they are useless and did not win anything before.. hello... do you even watch and follow or read what they have achieved.. i know it cant be compared with the chinese pairs... but hey, they play their heart out there on that match., and you over there just seat down and criticising them without actually knowing what sports is about.. damm it..
no point talking to useless people.. and i just ditch them without speaking a word..cause it's just not worth my time and effort!
see... i pour everything out here.. but congratulations also to our hockey team, also in Paris, winning the 5 Nations Tournament...
and also, congrats to our young Diver, Pandelela Rinong for winning 2 silver medal in the inaugural Youth Olympics Games.. and like the scenario above she lost both to the gold medallist from the same country... BUT i am EVER proud of her.. cause she was injured prior to the game and she still managed to deliver back to our country..Kudos also to our young rhytmic gymnast, lee wan nin.. she managed a decent 4th placing.. considering she was only a wildcard entry.. with more training and exposure.. i am sure one day she will be a force to reckon...
last but not least, still it was a great result considering we never expected koo/tan to go into the finals.. our prediction was only a q-final appearance.. and they did go one step better than their semifinal appearance last year.. I, still do have faith in them to deliver in the upcoming commonwealth games and asian Games.. come on Malaysia, beat the china team at the Asian Games in Guangzhou!
for now, Tennis last GRAND SLAM of the year, THE US OPEN, starting on Monday!!
how fun sports can be...

Blocking Blog
it's been a while since i last blog merely because i cant find that spark or inspiration to write down what i wanted to...
it has always been about writing it and saving it on draft and delete it at the end, cause i am lacking of creative way to write and post it up here.
lots of stuff happenned since i last wrote ie:
a) the winner of the world cup 2010 in SA is no other than Spain, though my team so NEARLY made it.. but luck was not on their side as they had to settle for the runner-up spot again. sigh.
b) and i did went back to Penang for 5 days earlier in August but somehow my trip this time wasnt what i thought it would be.. but anyway, i was glad i DID went back.
c) it's so sad when you was given the promise/hope on one thing and let the one thing taken away from you and now that you have the hope again, and i really wonder will that become a reality or will it be taken away from me as well. Only time will tell.
d) not to mention, the English Premier League is back for 2010/2011 season but why do i not have that spark in me to actually LOVE it like i used to back then.. right now, i just wish i could enjoy more local sports coverage than ever and making local sports the BIGGEST SPORTS in our COUNTRY.
e) is proud that Malaysia finally land a medal (silver) at the inaugural Youth Olympics Games in Singapore. Medal was won by Diver, Pandelela Rinong in the 10M platform event, losing out only to the China Diver. Kudos, and congratulations!
f) is contemplating on what she really wants to do and going for it!
g) really should be changing her blog layout but is so lazy to do that!
h) believer in Karma and what goes around really comes around!
i) and please be yourself and not others, and don't take credit when it's not yours and pretending that you are so smart and what not!
j) last but not least i heart my family more than ever and not to forget my lovely old friends out there! =)
all for now, till i really can actually like to blog again.

off on a sunday
finally off day on a sunday after working for 3 straight weekends.. and i still dun get sat n sun off yet..
meet up with high school friends and chat is the most awesome thing u can wish for on a sunday, being away from home..and it's father's day which i have missed out on the 3rd consecutive year!
it was a nice time around and i enjoyed it very much.
back to work story, world cup is almost finishing the group stages with one week left and we are moving to the knockout stages and everything "hopefully" will get more exciting.. to be honest,the team do not display any quality football except for some countries and least u expected is england to draw two matches, spain lost and germany's lost..
hahaha.. other than that everything is ok... and trying to cope with working more than 12hrs a day..
viva la world cup!
au revoir! bis bald!

"it just shows you how dreams can be made and crushed in the space of hours"
why do referees need to be so harsh? sigh!
on another different note, i believe in Karma... and i am just going to do what i am supposed to do and ignore others.. i have had enough!

drifting,floating,surviving
i have been thinking a lot...this past 1 month was working my way and learning the curve and everything.. and sometimes it's taking the toll on me.. and the more i am actually on sports, the more knowledge i am losing.. i dunno why.. grr.. wat is wrong with me of late?
i have no watsoever motivation to work and getting sick now is not helping at all..
and now, i am wanting to continue back learning french or spanish course becasue i want to be able to converse in many different languages..
Also, seeing the community or social life here, it got me thinking that i seriously want to give back to the society and work with the community more..
but that would have to take a longer vision and mission to be achieve.. right now.. am thinking on the worldvision.org..
but back to sports, world cup is coming in 3 days time.. i shud be excited but i am not..
i dunno why.. and i am surviving in this big, big, cruel place..

mixed feelings
am seriously exhasuted, tired and everything u can name of. exciting week of local sports but working my ass off so hard for this week and finally my day off today and monday.. but i will not get the rest i wanted cause i got to go back to penang for some prayers on monday and back again to kl on that evening itself.
i dun even have time for "me" time already as work is taking my whole time. with the amount of news we are having now, there is no way the schedule could be changed. and next month is even more like a killer month with the World cup and it has been confirmed we are showing 35 matches LIVE.. so there u go.. can u imagine this???
and things happened that i cant even voice out.. plus could u imagine this situation for u to ponder upon. football finishes at 10.45pm. and live news at 11.00pm with only 10 minutes left to edit, putting the graphics and updating hell lots of results. sigh. it's awesome but then.. there shud be a limit to this.
but oh well, i should not complain much.. but haihs.. it could have been a great week had malaysia qualified to the final of thomas cup. but then.. they did their best it is just that their best wasnt BEST enough though.
Congratulations also to the women's team of South Korea for lifting the Uber Cup. u r awesome!!!! beating china is no mean feet but u did it convincingly!!! and see how that arrogant Li Yong Bo said in the newspapers... padan muka.
will china's dominance continue in the thomas cup final vs indonesia? let us all find out 2pm live @ so many channels.. but if u want extra post match interview.. then be sure to tune in to astro arena@801.
=)
oh p/s : did i even mentioned that my favourite football club lost by a single point? blah. we will come back stronger next season. all for now. i need my much needed BREAK!!

the BLUES finally Rules after 3 years
1stly, hats off to Chelsea for being crowned the Barclays Premier League Champion of 2009/2010. U deserve it.. *tat's all, no more than that*
2ndly, Malaysia beat Nigeria 5-0 in Thomas Cup without needing to go on court because the Nigerian team did not arrived for the match. I still thought the nigerians will be coming and play as this will serve as a warm up for malaysia.. but now, the thomas cup team got to work extra hard vs Japan for the next group match.. Hopefully malaysia wins... :)
3rd, malaysia lost to australia in the hockey azlan shah cup. sad. I tot malaysia could win. Now malaysia is out for the semis spot.. we should have done better against pakistan the other day.
4th, hectic month but it is kind of sad to see Hockey is beyond malaysia's reach now.. Hope that the Thomas Cup team can produce some magic and win perhaps? although, many are saying it's a miracle to even qualify to semis.. sigh. but again, i am hoping malaysia will go to the FINAL!!!!

Sporting Heroes!!!
Cheng, sorry that i was not able to meet up with u when i was back the other week.. only 2 days and not enough time as i was quite tight up with family stuff to settle also.. seriously i shud be back more days next time.. perhaps a week, if not sure not enough time want.. haihs. makan all penang food also tak sempat... GRRR..
wanted to post a comment in your new post on the outing with Jian Ming and Selina, but i somehow dunno why i cant post it there.. apasal ar? hehe..
==========================================================
Ok, the reason me writing this post is to express out how my fave team is back in the hunt for the Barclays Premier League title.
After the champions league exit at the hand of Bayern Munich, it was so hard to swallow but life has to go on, you win some, you lose some.. you aint going to win all the time..
and then we drew at blackburn last weekend. it was an agony and i was certain enough that we are out of the title race with Chelsea winning and widening up the points.. and then this week was exceptional.. manchester derby is something you do not want to miss out.. and so, my colleague and I decided to stay back at office after our news at 8pm to watch the match..
and again, we were frustrated that it is going to be a second consecutive stalemate for United.. and with 30 seconds to go, i was muttering to my colleague 30 seconds left on the stoppage time, do u think we can produce something to win it??.. and the rest like they say is history... Paul Scholes pop-up to head in a beautiful cross by Evra.. it was that fantastic. and we were shouting and jumping mad at office. there were only 2 of us in the newsroom, the rest of ppl was upstairs as they have a live show going on with Rugby Asian 5 Nations.. but we were estatic.. we could not believe it.. we finally got that luck and we are now a point behind chelsea after surprisingly they lost to Spurs last nite.. and with 3 games to go, it's GAME ON.
and TODAY at work could not be much better scripted.. it's again, my colleague and I on shift on sunday.. and both of us are MAN U fans.. and she was getting ready Glory Glory Man United Song to be played at her desktop when those Liverpool's and Chelsea's fan walk in to office.. and we couldnt have chosen a better moment.. our big boss who is also a liverpool fan was also in office.. and we played it out LOUD.. and liverpool's fan were closing their ears and pretending that they did not hear anything at all... and the fact tat they perli us Man U fans when we lost to Bayern.. , it was a sweet revenga and definitely a payback time.. Big Boss was laughing/smiling when the song were being played.. haha.. we were satisfied... but again, we are hoping, Liverpool to do us a favour when they meet Chelsea on the 1st of May..
in short, chelsea still has the upper hand now with 1 point advantage and if they do win the League Title, i will be happy for them but Man United will be fighting all the way till d last second and not giving up. even if we did not win, i had an awesome time around with a bunch of ppl who are FUN! today certainly was a good day working!
oh, btw, we should also be proud that OUR mixed Doubles pair won at the Asian Badminton Championship in New Delhi, India.. a great TONIC and a BOOST to our BADMINTON SQUAD! they fought all the way and i am so proud of THEM! congratulations Liu Ying and Peng Soon! =)
and also to the runner up for the WOMEN DOUBLES team of Vivian and Khe Wei...
Nicol David also won in the finals of the Cayman Island Open beating 2nd seed, jenny duncalf in straight sets.
Congratulations to our national heroes and many more wins for them with the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Asian Games this year!
Cheers to our Malaysian Sporting Heroes!

the daily life
it's been a while since i last wrote in this virtual space.
i don't have the urge to write thus far, for reason that i do not know why. (alhough i have so much in my head that i want to spill out)
i am doing good here in my job or should i say my life? cause life now is on job and i am loving it. but of course family and friends are also not forgotten.
i am keeping my feet on the ground and promise myself that i will not outshown or out-do anyone and just be at my two feet doing what i am supposed to do.
i am not going to procrastinate so much and concentrate on what i got to do and do it right.
guess that's it for now and hoping for another good month ahead.
oh, before i forget, i am going back home soon. cant wait. all the hokkien mee, loh mee, mee goreng, pan mee, nasi kandar, chicken rice, char koay teow, curry mee and koay teow thing... WAIT FOR ME!!!!!
I love you so much hometown. owh.. please welcome me back! =)

Life away from home
so here you go, an update about life here thus far. It's been going to 1 month since i came and wau, time does past by fast.
first let me talk about where i am staying now. I am staying with a bunch of students and i am renting one medium room to myself. it's very spacious and other than my room, i do not really like the bathroom, the kitchen, the environment and every other thing. That is why i hate coming back home after work.. else if i could i would go out and only come to bath and sleep and the routine keep repeating itself.
so going to the bathroom, it just does not feel comfortable at all and i think the water here are not clean as everytime i will feel itchy over my body and that does not look good.. grr.. i hate that.. and the kitchen.. each and everytime i walk into the kitchen to wash my cup or anything, i just wanna get out of there asap.. it is this bad.. u tell me how can i cook or even do some minor cooking with this condition and owh..interestingly.. it;s like ants everywhere which makes me so pist off and dun wanna touch anything at all.. grrr.. tell me how could i survive.. i rather not..
so with the description above, of course u dun think i would wanna stay looong there.. so there i go searching for rooms for rent, calling and paying a visit to the houses... and finally i found a sort of perfect place to stay and i have paid my deposit.. i would wanna move from here asap.. end of this month, but after discussion with the housemates... i would stay here for another month.. until end of april.. for their sake as they are still in agreement with the hse owner (i'm not, but the person be4 me who rent the room, went out earlier.. and they are the ones who signed the agreement so guess they will have to bear the May rent inorder for them to get back their deposits).. their agreement is till end of May.. but since i think i heard them telling me they will sign new agreement in may.. i assume that the contract ending on april.. so i had talk with my new landlady and she agreed and i am moving to the new place end of arpil.. it's much more secure and there is a security guard patrolling around, walking distance to foodcourt and many shops nearby.. and the house is so so so x100 times cleaner than ever than my current one..
So yeah, i am moving house and although it much more expensive but i think it's worth la.. perhaps 1 year and then i could save $$$ to own a house myself.. haha...
and now it is time to talk about my work.. work has been good.. really good..
what have i done in the past few weeks?
- well, i reviewed Asian Games, Olympic Games, CommonwealthGames and many many more sports event tapes..
- scripwriting
-attended training on how to produce a good and simple script
-attended studio training with the anchor and presenter...
and next thurs is the launching of the channel and we will go LIVE (hopefully) on the 26th March 2010.
how's work place and all?
-the road i take to go work sometimes is either super jammed, so-so or smooth. a 7km from hse to office or vice-versa on normal traffic takes me 15mins.. else it's 30mins or even more...
-my 1st 2 weeks in office is without Air-Cond.. u could imagine how hot it was and the not yet finish renovated work place... in fact i still have not touch my own desk yet.. again it is still not ready.. using other ppl punya desk now..cause Mezzanine floor(intermediate floor between Ground floor and 1st Floor) have been done.. my office on ground floor and the studio also not really completed yet.. hopefully the contractors get it completed by next week else everything will be in haywire and everyone wil be on lots of pressure to learn everything up really fast..
-i am excited and quite scared as well but hopefully everything will be fine.
-colleagues have been really helpful, friendly and easy to talk with.. :)
Guess that basically sumarize my 1 month here now...
till then... :)

random babbling
just a quick word or two and will promise to update this space on my new transition to KL in a week time? barring any activities this weekend.
many have been asking me how's life's in KL and i dunno how to explain.. i find it hard.
But just to let everyone know.. i am loving my job but not the life as in where i am staying or wat..i am moving to a new place soon. it's better, safer and much better? haha..and i am not tat homesick anymore. Somehow i feel at peace with myself.. just need to be more enlighten.. tat's all..
and i wanted to post pictures up and change layout and all.. but my photoshop and illustrator could not be installed and i cant do any graphics or editing before posting it up here.. so that have to wait until i figure out the prob.. and i basicaly know is my OS prob.. and i would have to reformat my laptop again which i am reluctant to do right now cause it means i will have to install all the software back which is time consuming and i am lazy.. tat is the job of my bro.. so gotta wait when i am going back to PG.
for the time being, i did learnt a lot in terms of life and all.. and still braving the momentum of being away and alone in this big city.
all for now. love(s) u all.. missing Penang very much!

do what u got to do to get it right?
It is THAT terrible. i am missing my family very much especially mummy dearest.
and how come i did not feel this way at all the last few times i was away and i think this is the most difficult one as i know this is the phase of life where i am going to face ALONE.
Alone in this place where i freak out everytime i walk on the street, driving and what not.
The last few times when i was away, i wasnt feeling tat bad, because i knew that i would be going back to Penang.. but it is completely different now because i know that once i am out here.. i would not be going back to Penang and stay there permanently.
I knew if i had stayed back over in Penang, i would not have to worry on everything because everything i wanted is there but i feel i needed moments to be away from everything and to start anew and to embark on the new transition in life.. Career life.
maybe perhaps work hasnt kicked in yet and that i have more time to myself and i worried to much? what if i could not make it here? what if's and what not.. i hate that feeling very much.
I know what i have got to do to make things right but i just cannot think that being away from family is THAT difficult. guess, i will just have to go through this and let time heals everything.
I will try to make an effort to go back to Penang as often as i can.. :)
and so to stay positive and not rant to much, i am praying for a good week of work ahead!

maybe perhaps work hasnt kicked in yet and that i have more time to myself and i worried to much? what if i could not make it here? what if's and what not.. i hate that feeling very much.
I know what i have got to do to make things right but i just cannot think that being away from family is THAT difficult. guess, i will just have to go through this and let time heals everything.
I will try to make an effort to go back to Penang as often as i can.. :)
and so to stay positive and not rant to much, i am praying for a good week of work ahead!
the updates
i actually did cry when i was coming to KL on tuesday because i knew that once i stepped out from my hse i wont in anyway be back there for real.. even if i do go back.. it would be for a short holiday and all..it is just so hard when weeks be4 that, i am actually looking forward to be here in KL, but when the time comes, it was just so hard, no thanks to the CNY festivity that makes me wanna stay longer in Penang.
so now, here i am in the big city and was stuck in highway and only reached PJ after 7 hours of drive from Penang, which usually take me 4 hrs.. I unpacked and unload all my stuff and just call it a day.
on wednesday, i officially start my day at work. I was using the GPS to navigate me but somehow, it sort of fail me or i navigate it wrongly and i had to me a u-turn, detour here and there and was there just in time for the induction program to start.
the 2nd day was also induction but good news is.. it was only half day. and i was free after that..
and on friday, it was a briefing on the channel with the VP of the channel in my new office.. it was only an hour with the tour around.. and that was it. I was free the whole day.. few of us decided to have a talk together and we went to the nearby cafe.. everyone also as i am dunno what to expect from the new channel but the difference is.. all of them are with experience in this field except for me...
so yeah, basically that was it.. and would let you guys know more when the time comes.. =)
so yesterday was a good day MINUS the few minutes of drama that i had with the biatch be4 i headed for the astro fest.. i wish that u guys were here with me so all of u can go the the fest.. food was free, concert, lion dance, foot reflexology, manicure, calligraphy, games and many many more....
So, here is to hoping for a new week to come and learning more as i can...

toast to a new beginning
remembered how i wrote when i was dreading for time to quickly turn to august 2010 and how i rambled on my job? wait no more.. in a week time.. i am gone for good..for REAL!
** i finally made the decision to resign from my job and had done so**
although, i am sorry to leave, but a decision has to be made, and you don't just leave but you leave because you are a step closer to chase your dreams, and of course, being a person that i am, if you had the chance, wont you not take it? so yeah, i am now gearing up to a new beginning and cannot wait to start off a fresh in the year 2010, and coincidentally, the year of tiger in the chinese zodiac...(d year i was born) RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I was in a state of euphoric, elated and all when the news broke out to me that i have gotten the job, on that day itself it was marred by the stupid administration in the company that i am working with because there is a 2nd level escalation which i do not think it is our fault. screw up that, because the happiness in me just by pass/or enough to make me think the decision to leave at that point was a FANTASTIC decision.
so yeah, decision has been made, most ppl there was surprised (after they got to know last week that i am leaving, cause i kept it a secret and only my boss knew when i tendered in my resignation) and they don't think that i am a person who is passionate, outdoor going and all.. maybe because i was keeping a low profile all these while and did not want to associate myself with them.. never mind then, because i had promised and told myself before, no matter what happens, in 1 year time, i would be out of my misery there! so yeah, since i am out early, it is good! i cannot cannot be like them!!!!!
i am looking forward to the new challenges and sad in a way that i would be leaving Penang soon, real sooon...
i will miss my family, friends and food dearly.. (3F)...
till next time, buh byeeee
