congratulations, my sister!!!

And so, my sis and bro-in-law finally got hitched officially to Hindu’s tradition. It was a ceremony with lots of love. And I’m really happy for my sister. And of course, also for the charming (ahem**) bro-in-law. I can’t imagine anyone else being in his position even though he drives me up the wall all the time. But love is love. And I love them both very much. Now that she will no longer stay with me in this big house, I get to have lots of space. Just that, it’ll be lonely when I’m having my holiday, I need to get all the beauty stuffs myself (*shampoo, facial wash, etc), watch the TV all by myself and sleep all by myself. I won’t be comforted anymore knowing that she won’t wake up earlier than me anymore in this house on weekdays. Lot’s of changes are bound to happen. But I’m sure there’s something good about this. But yet, I’m still very much happy for her. Yes, maybe I was quite cold and moody with her yesterday, during the wedding, but that’s because I’m mad at I don’t know-what. I have my reasons.

Anyhow, yesterday was my first experience on a flight. Yes, the first time!!! Even though it was a local destination, I enjoyed the ride very much. Thanks to my sis, she sponsored us for the trip, including for her too. And I am truly amazed at how the plane actually works and amazed how it can actually fly. My sis told me that an airplane couldn’t go backwards when it’s on the ground. So these planes need the trailer’s help to push them. Quite interesting. A mighty transport in the air needs help from a little partner. So, the part I like the most is when the plane takes off and keeps soaring high. There’s something energetic about it. But I also like it when the plane is slanting. AirAsia got style, according to my father :D. When we were leaving Penang, once again we took the plane, this time without my sis. So from up there u can actually see the Pulau Pinang and it’s famous bridge and so on. For me, it’s quite impressive. I’m actually like looking through my geography knowledge once again…u know on the types of clouds, the river that leads from inland, the arranged housing system, Sepang with lots of “kelapa sawit”, etc. And tell me about the clouds, man!!! Phew, that was a cool view. The clouds were thick and rich in texture. It keeps reminding me of the land of Narnia when it’s being ruled by the evil witch. It’s snowy and white and icy all over the place :P . And Penang itself is something different. We accommodated a rest house on the hill of Bukit Mertajam, courtesy of my bro-in-law’s side. And the house is just cool. It’s a four floor house and when u reach the highest part of the house, you can actually see the surrounding of BM( Bukit Mertajam). So, with that opportunity, we experienced fireworks everywhere, exactly at 12 and on. That’s because Chinese were ushering CNY. It was a cool place to be. I wouldn’t mind leaving in Penang. Besides, they are also building another twin tower there that can remind me off KLCC. But we didn’t have the time to go places in penang. They said the famous St. Anne’s church is a nice place to be. I would like to of go there. I would also like to see the Kek Lok Si temple at night. I want to go to Feringghi beach.

So anyhow, there is one more event to go. The dinner reception that’ll take place this Wednesday. My sis and her spouse will be back tomorrow. And that’s wonderful. I’ll get to see her again. But she’s actually a married woman now. It’s different already. And that’s sad. 2006 is a turning point for her, my brother and me too. I’ll graduate this year. My brother will be back here. My sis is MARRIED :D.

i'll be practising tomorrow...

Dec 15_ called Q + A (a design company in Jalan Raja Chulan) to place myself as a trainee. They, in return, asked me to fax my resume which I did the next day.

One week later_ I called the company again about it. They said the company is interested in taking part in the program( the practical training program). I was flying over the moon. I’ll be called after the boss comes back from holiday, which is after new year.

The first week after new year_ I waited n waited n waited for the “call”. At last I called them. The person in charge wasn’t there.

The first day my college started_ I was left behind. Everybody is doing the training except for me. That’s coz I was too confident that I will be accepted as a trainee at the company. I still remained my confidence that I called the company for the last time. And I was called for an interview at last.

Wednesday_ my FIRST ever interview that I did for my profession. Everything went well. They were happy with my work. They seemed interested and said will give me a call by the end of the day. I was flying over the moon again till I received an sms. It was written with regrets, saying I can’t be accepted as a trainee. I blanked. It never occurred to me that they could reject me. It was heartache. I totally blanked. I didn’t see that coming. Sad, I asked what was the problem. It seems they need permanent staff, etc. I just couldn’t believe it. And so I tried planning my next step… which is postponing the practical training + ID’s studio to later. Some friends reminded me not to give up. Thank you, guys!!! But I still was planning on my postponing.

Thursday_ went to see my lecturer. She said I could postpone but she assured me not to give up as well. If there’s no other choice, I can continue with the postponing plan. Till then, I should still try other companies.

Friday_ went to another interview at another design company at Bandar Sri Tasik Permaisuri. It went well again. I like the boss and the other staff who interviewed me. They are nice and friendly. The boss even showed me the company’s current project. Trust and sharing, you see. But there was just one problem, again. It seems like, with CNY approaching and project in hold, the boss is afraid he’ll waste my time by accepting me. Coz there’s a big gap of holiday. He said it would have been better if I could have come earlier. They could have thought me more. See??? They are so willing to share. I like that.
So, there goes another company that couldn’t accept me.
**this interview was set up for me by Yee Teng…thank you, girl!!!

Monday(which is today)_ for the last time, I was to attend another interview again. I was so prepared to postpone the training and fantasized a lot about staying at home for three months that the thought of attending the interview came like a breeze. It didn’t affect me much. And I never felt so fed up attending interview and talking about my work over n over again. Anyhow, when I actually went to that company, they accepted me. And guess what…after dreaming of working at the jalan raja chulan or even the bdr sri tasik permaisuri’s company…it never crossed my mind that this company, which is just a 20 minutes walk away from my home, will accept me. It’s just weird to see how things settle down. When I want something, it turn out to be otherwise and vice versa.
So I’ll start my practical training tomorrow. The location is quite perfect. I’m familiar with Desa Pandan. The company is nearby almost everything. Bakery, McD, KFC, Watson, England Optical, etc. But I got to walk everywhere. I hope I’ll have a well toned legs then…hihihi…

So finally, my life is back into places. Back into order with a slight change( I’ll be working). Now, I shall wait for the big day. The day my sis gets married. It’s just two weeks away. Good on ya, sis!!!
