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!

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
