Right choices, wrong choices

Posted by dawn On October - 31 - 20081 COMMENT

Went for an interview with an advertising and event management company on Wednesday and got called in for an orientation (for me to get to know the job and them to get to know me better) on Thursday. It started off meeting at the office at 9.30am and meeting my trainer for the day. He would be evaluating me before my second interview with the manager at the end of the day. Basically, I followed him around the whole day seeing what I’d be doing for the next month or maybe much longer. Was really glad to meet the trainer who was very encouraging and nice. Of course also another girl who just started work 3 days. Both very nice to be around with. I was really happy that we actually clicked very well.

So after a long long day out, finally went back to office about 5.40pm. I filled in a questionnaire while waiting for my second interview. I could hear loud noises from the room, some motivation thing which I heard early in the morning when I was waiting to meet the trainer. After filling that up, I went in for my second interview with the manager which turns out to be a really nice young man as well. So, after briefing me  on the company, career development and answering some of my concerns, I’m gonna start work on Monday!

Pretty excited actually because I could see alot of energy in them which I admire. I feel like I could be totally myself and it’s comfortable. I don’t usually say yes to a job offer on the spot so I don’t really know what made me do that yesterday. It was scary and I can’t believe I said yes so fast. I just hope I followed my instincts and I hope they are right.

The title being right choices, wrong choices is because part of me wonders if this is the right thing to do. The people are great the company is great, however my job scope can be abit out of the comfort zone. But again, what is life without some challenges and doing something you think you can’t do. I know if I do it, there’s nothing to loose and if I succeed then the sense of achievement is something money can’t buy. Yeah I like that feeling! haha!

Since I was offered months ago, a job which pays me double of what I’d be getting now, some may think it’s crazy but I’d like to believe that there is no right or wrong choices. Coz every choice I make, whether good or bad is my own choice and I believe God is there to help me make the best decisions for myself. Even if it’s a bad choice in whatever way, I’d want to believe it’s a blessing in disguise. There, my little thought about choices.

Anyway, what made me say yes so fast is probably  because everyone is very supportive and loud like me. ahhaah! So in there I can be considered quiet? (at the moment coz i’m gonna beat that) haha! Oh well, so my trainer invited me to join them for their ’sports day’ at mid valley’s bowling alley yesterday. It was really noisy and fun, it made me feel like I’ve known them much longer than just a day. Even the manager was joined us like a friend. Everyone was like family. It’s heart warming to know that you can work with people who are really humans. ahah! If you know what I mean. Like my all time fav group mates baybeetea and david. Had a GREAT time at bowling although we didn’t win, (oh btw, my team name is Phoenix) and so missed out on a free TGI dinner from the rest of the teams. haha!

These guys really are crazy. They work from 8 plus in the morning up to bout 7pm and they can be so loud and full of energy even after bowling. Wow…I nearly died… haha! Hopefully I’d adapt fast to working so much. But I definitely love the attitude of work hard play hard or harder. haha! Blends well with me =)

All in all, I’m looking forward to Monday! Though I know I’d be dead tired but I’m excited about it and now I’m ready for a job so…wish me luck and pray for me! Wanna go shopping for some work clothes tmr. Any sponsors? Fawk…u know you heard me…*winks winks* :p

 

ok ta! *hugssss*

Birthday Part 2

Posted by dawn On October - 29 - 2008ADD COMMENTS

After making sure the tradition was kept alive, fawk brought me for a movie. Premier class is always a treat for me with the oh so nice smelling blanket to keep me warm and cozy BUT when the movie sucks, then it makes me feel like they cheated our money. haha.

 

So this movie that sounded so exciting and action packed really got us interested. Of course I wanna watch high school musical but I thought that can wait since fawk sounded quite excited bout this particular movie. With such a famous and great actor in that show, I definitely expected much much more than that. No twist and predictable. It feels like making a movie for the sake of making one. It’s more painful than watching Max Payne *rolls eyes*

All in all, just buy the dvd and watch it at home. Not worth going to the cinema.

 

This movie

is supposed to be titled:

 

BANGKOK DANGEROUSLY SUCKS. watch at your own risk.

oh oh oh wait…but on the brighter side, ‘meet the spartans’ still wins the sucky title:

MEET THE SUCKERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haha. Never thought I would be writing bout movies but oh well back to the happy memories.

After movie went to our favourite hang out place. Browse around abit then fawk mention about going to the chicken rice shop for dinner again (in fact he was mentioning it the whole time). When we first reach we actually went to the directory looking for chicken rice shop -___-

 

So when I got hungry he brought me down megamall’s elevator to the jusco floor saying since there’s no chicken rice shop there we shall go to nandos -___________________________-

If it was for real I wouldn’t feel like that: -_________- But I know this fawk darling is full of bullshit. HAHA.

After so so SO much walking and trying to convince me that we will have chicken for dinner, he brought me here:

oh btw, he kept saying chicken rice for birthday dinner because I kinda hate chicken rice

I came here before with sis and family long time ago. Nicer to go at night. Nice lighting, ambience and food. It’s no wonder the tagline is where steak lovers call home. Here are some pictures for your pleasure, and mine ;)

 

I was having such a great time and the excitement from the surprise gift was still with me from the night before. So let the pictures speak:

fooling around with the smile shutter.

Full with not just food but joy, happiness and love! Thanks for the wonderful day all planned out for me!

Tho, it’s not somewhere we’ve never been before (like the chicken rice shop) ;) it was awesome. Maybe the next occasion would be the special place suggested in my previous post? *hints* *winks* HAHA!

 

MUAHSss! And to my friends, thanks for ALL the wishes from near and far, early and late =)

Oh will probably blog about some gifts for the next post. Wow…all about MY birthday…so self obsessed. haha!

good nite now!

Birthday Part 1: 27th October

Posted by dawn On October - 29 - 20083 COMMENTS

Started off my day with simple lunch in Venezuela or something. An italian restaurant near my place then headed home to keep the tradition of cutting cake with family alive. haha. Here are some pics of us at home:

 

I wanna cut cake every year with my mummy daddy sisters brother (mayb grandma grandpa too!)for the rest of my life can?

love love :D Happy me.

It’s my BIRTHDAY!

Posted by dawn On October - 27 - 20082 COMMENTS

Ah!!! I’m so excited! And that explains why when I’m so tired I can’t sleep. I love birthdays. I love how our simple tradition of cutting cake at home brings about this warm feeling inside. Was chatting with Kitty the other day and I told her we shall keep the tradition burning -__- coz I forgot how to put it. Of course it’s supposed to be keep the tradition alive! haha. In exactly 12 hours from now, I’d be cutting my cake with my family. This time with my sis! Since she was away for her birthday on the 16th. Can’t wait to take lots of pictures.

 

Today was fun too! Had seafood dinner with fawk and family in PJ. Then went to his place and they surprised me with a birthday cake! Aw…so sweet :) And I got the most unexpected gift too! Which was beautiful and which is also causing me to be so hyper. Fawk was teasing me on giving me an out of the world wireless mouse for my birthday since he works in that line and can get it cheaper *faints*. Most of all I can’t wait for tomorrow night’s dinner with darling fawk. This fellow suggested that we go to this place coz there’s a discount for UOB cardholders. This place he claims to be so special becoz we’ve never been there before. So it must be damn special right? Well…he suggested we go here:

 

 

And downgrade summore you know??? At first he suggested here:

 

 

When I was thinking more along the lines of a romantic dinner for two…like…

 

here!

 

Nicer right…hehehe

Well, honestly I’ve researched quite abit from blogs and forums on where there’s good food, good ambience and reasonable price. So, this seems to be THE place. This special also what…since I haven’t we haven’t been there before ;)

So just in case you change your mind bout having chickens on my birthday, here’s the address and telephone number *evil chuckles*:

3A, Jalan Ceylon
50200 Kuala Lumpur
tel: 03/20703120
fax: 03/20703100
info@nerovivo.com

Wow…email too! haha! ;)

Darling…even if it’s the chicken rice by the road, I’d still love you ;) And I’d still be excited! HAHAHA =)

 

Oh I’m also SO SO happy to get messages from my lovely friend’s who though I do not meet all the time remembers my birthday. I’m still waiting for a few more though…;) Thanks! You know who you are.

Ok…my birthday message to all would be to make our lives an act of love in our very own special way however big or small (inspired to further blog bout this by a wonderful sermon yesterday).

 

Time to charge up for a wonderful day! Oh I just realized this is my FIRST birthday without exams around the corner or a paper to sit for or anything like that! Just job hunting which I can’t control much at the moment as it’s a holiday and employers would not be available to review my resume which I have recently sent out. So yes! Will make the most of it :)

 

Good nite! Toodles!

*3.20 am* 

Hello! Harlow! Yellooow!

This is my first blog even though the blog is not ready right now, I’m just too excited. After much delay, I just can’t wait anymore! :)

I’m not sure what people usually write for their first blog or they just say ‘Hello World’? Since that’s the confirmed right thing to do, here goes…Hello world! Hello friends! Hello people! Hehe :)

why is my face so white compared to my hands? hmm…

(My excitement far exceeds this smile! hehe…)

I have questions running through my head…will I be a big time blogger like Kennysia; the famous Malaysian blogger OR Nicolekiss; the Malaysian globe trotter OR maybe XiaXue; the funny blogger of Singapore that never fails to make me laugh? Or maybe like my friends; baybeetea and kitmey whose blogs I frequent who are not as big time but just as great to read. Will my blogs have lots of pictures? Will it be more to the funny or serious side??? What would I talk mainly about? Oh this I know coz my tagline is my life, my passion. So obviously I’d be talking bout my life! =) I would say when it comes to politics, it would be minimal or close to none.

That’s briefly what I know…not much but a slight introduction maybe? Well, since I am not sure and you don’t know and IF you are curious, STAY TUNED! =)

I can’t wait for this to completed! Toodles!
