–=sUmmeR’s ScribbLes=–

Its been a long while since I would drop by at cyber cafes to online and do stuffs…but for now, here I am as I have moved out from my room and moved to my loupo’s hostel room where the internet connections suckd like hell.

Well save questions like where am staying now or what am I working as now. Coz I’m still stuck in Nilai and I have not obtain a jb because I did not take the proper effort to send out my resumes as I dont have the heart to work yet…mentally not prepared..sigh. But I know due to certain reasons, I can slack no more and so here am I doing my resumes seriously…though not much options coz I have not been seeing jobs that really interest me..but I’ll try my bes no matter what.

My better half has just started training in EQ and I really miss him badly. I guess when I start working, things would be better as I have my own responsibility and he would not need to worry so much bout me either…

*I’m always so proud if you no matter what hubby…ShMiLy*

The rashes on my left foot on the ankle area has finally got worse. I am disguised myself everytime i look at it..what more having to go out for meals or whatsoever and feeling the stares from people around…sigh. Its so bad and I went to get my medications and for now, I have to apply two types of medicines and creams on it that increase the visibility coz the cream is in blardy white color!! Then i have to consume some tablet medicines and everything cost me a bomb. And the best part??…I’m going to work with this kinda physical eWw-ness and no more skirts for me for at least monthsss?/??????/

Everything hasnt been really smooth I suppose. And I feel really bad for having to bug my loupo everyday coz I barely has anyone left in Nilai. I guess I’ll write til here..til the next updates…cheeRs.

Why chOose RoJaK EntRy to naMe my bLog eNtry?? BecaUse I simpLy have sO muCh to bRag abOut and thuS I doNt knOw what tO enteR in the titLe or wheRe to staRt scribbLing in the stoRies.  I’m suRe by nOw, moSt of you wouLd have knOwn of the goOdy newS..my enGagemeNt with Eric. For thOse who toOk the effoRt to congRatuLate me by any ways, a biG fat thaNk yOu and a waRm huG to aLL of yOu whO maDe it eveN mOre meaNingfuL.

After the verbaL engaGement, Eric and I headed for a weddiNg tyPe of photO takiNg sessiOn in a briDal city call HollyWood. The photOs wouLd be up in another week’s time wHen we get the sOft coPy of it but the phOto aLbum wouLd have tO wait fOr anotheR twO moNths. It tooK us a lonG 10houRs to do the phoTo shoOts…staRted at 10.30am and we wrappeD thinGs up arouNd 9.30pm…it waS a loNg tiRing day tHat feLt like a really shOrt day becauSe befoRe we kNew it, suN setS and niGht filleD the daY..aNd I feLt extRemeLy swEet for the entiRe day =) Last FriDay, we weNt to see the photOs to maKe seleCtions and it caMe out pretty weLL.

                SONY. What can you think of when you hear
this brand name slash multinational company ?? Few days ago..I was short listed
by the SONY after attempting an pre-interview in my college two weeks ago. It’s
a 3month management training programme for fresh graduates located in the SSCMS
Bangi. For management trainee who doesn’t need to perform much task, I was
offered RM1800. After the probation period of 3months, it will be increased to
RM2300. Yes I do agree very much that they gave a pretty good offer for MTP
trainees. But the catch is that I have to start work on 2^nd July…which
means I barely have time to take a deep breathe and to lay back and rest once I’ve
submitted my final research paper on 28^th June…research after
research…I’m so looking forward for a break…however, now I have to decide
whether I am able to partake the job offer by next Tue. I thought about staying
back in Nilai if I decided to accept the offer..having to drive my sister’s car
temporary while she heads for an outstation training for 5months. For your
information, I’m still in the process of learning my driving and I only have an
L license with me now haha. Anyways..the main point that cause this whole
dilemma thingy is whether I should take up the offer and give a try for the
sake of the company’s reputation that could give me an advantage in my future
applications…or just forgo this opportunity and take time off to go back KK for
awhile and then return to KL to start the job scouting just like my initial
plan??

                  Few
weeks back..my friends and I once again drove up to Putrajaya for photo-taking
session. It was indeed a great trip and we took quite a lot of pictures…till
the camera battery actually runs out and we still carried on using our camera
phones. We stop at most of the bridges and when we were happily taking photos
just like everyone else there were doing, polices came and chase everyone out
from the bridge because according to them, we weren’t allowed to stop at the
bridges…fine then. We drove off and better still, we found a better spot to
take pictures..right in front of some huge embassy building and a green field.

    After
that trip, we made our way down to Cheras the following week…heading for the
famous Cheras night market. It was quite a bad traffic jam but we manage to
pull through in a short time. I thought i would not enjoy this trip even though I wanted to go to this place since a long long time ago. Earlier in the morning, I attended the Pra-L Practical class which was 6hours long. 3boring hours in the lecture hall and another 3horrible hours outside in the sun doing things like changing tyres, learning about kancil engines..what the heck?! Of all cars..duh. But then when I thought I was gonna faint soon under such weather and standing in a hot area listening to craps..an instructor called me from behind and asked me to get into his car right away. I was quite stunned for a couple of seconds..then i made my way into the car. I was scared..honestly haha. He suddenly asked me to switch places with him and take over the wheels. I was like…what??? Fine..I got into the driver’s seat worrying what would happen since i’m such a dummie towards cars. Well..it didnt turned out so bad after all. Within 2hours, I was taught to drive and operate a car, up and down the hills, side parking, some 3-corner turning and practically just driving around in gear 1. Haha yup..i was not allowed to accelerate even a lil..imagine riding a horse  on a hot sunny day. Bumpy roads…on-and-off airconds and the heat gave me a bad headache. My Hubby came to get me at the Academy  and headed off to get me some bread and drinks coz i havent eaten anything yet since i woke up around 6am…and it was already almost 5pm at that time. But i manage to sleep awhile while we were making our way to Cheras..and thanks to hubby’s panadols…I was good again.

                 And two days ago, it was a very special
day. It was my loupo Olivia’s 21^st birthday!! Hubby Eric and I
planned a steamboat dinner to surprise her but I guess it wasn’t that surprising
haha. But I’m glad to see that she enjoyed herself and also able to help out in
the process. Like I mentioned earlier, my research paper is due on the coming Thursday.
So this few days I have to really sit still and complete it as I have plans on
Wed night to attend a pre-show of a HongKong movie thanks to my previous event
manager. Hubby Eric just left for his hometown to settle some documents and I’m
alone for few days ahead…so I’m on my own these few days. Til the next update
again…

My loupO with her bouquet from her darling after we had our steamboat dinner…

Random shots. Before interview.

                Time
for updates, updates ad mOre updates…its been awhile since the scribbLes in my
previ0us pOst and I’ve been really really busy with my synOptic paper..which is
better knOwn as thesis paper. Having to undertake two reSearch papers at the
same tiMe is never an easy thing…and I’ve definiteLy underestiMated my marketiNg
research paper. Big shit. The submissiOn date is neXt Monday and I have yet tO compLete
it….but after this, haLf of the heaVy burden on my shouLder are lifted off aNd I’m
only dOwn to one reSearch paper and anOther minor asSignment whiCh is due onLy
by end of June. And sinCe its all coursewOrk based, I wOuld be dOne with my
Bachelor of Degree in Business & Marketing ManageMent by end of June. A paRt
of me is gLad that all the heCtic workloads wouLd be goNe..but a part of me is
still veRy attaChed to college lifestyLes and I don’t waNna leave.   

                   
                Last
MarCh, I wOrked in the PC Fair together with my louPo Olivia for 3days at the
KLCC conVention ceNtre. I travelled everyDay from Nilai with Olivia beCause my
expeNses were coveRed and I didn’t wanNa stay in KL duRing the weekeNds. Eric
did all the seNding earLy in the morNing and piCking up late at niGht for the
whoLe three days whiCh at the end was giVen credits by briNging him to
Manhattan’s Fish Market for a sumptuOus dinNer. Well..I suppose my main mOtive
for choOsing to woRk is to practiCe and experieNce while doing the saLes and
networkiNg and also leaRning from peopLe around concerNing the twiSt and tuRns
about busiNesses. With a goOd basic and coMmission, I maNaged to earn quite an
inteResting figure and I really enjoYed my work. So when the big fat cheque caMe…its
time to paMper myseLf and Eric haha. Then I bouGht a goLd earring for Mom for
Mother’s Day and alSo her all time favOurite “Ferrero Rochelle” chocolates..hehe
not suRe how to sPell it though. Then I gOt Dad a leatHer wallet for his birthDay
cum Father’s day. Haha maKes me souNd like I’m bias towaRds my mom.. Anyways…the
satiSfactions and abiLity to pamper my pareNts from my own effoRt even thouGh
it is sMall…its a real fulfilMent and the feeLings they have upon reCeiving, simpLy
priCeless.

 
                Last
weekeNd, I was inVited to a BBQ fareWell party by Ven in her houSe in MaLacca. It
was also a birthDay celebration for Ven who reaChes 23 this year. The
inVitations caMe from Eric because they were classmates and I was aSk to taG aloNg
becauSe we used to haNg out in a grOup too. I really have a gReat time and
enjoYed myself so muCh after having to endLessly scouting and reading and dOing
my theSis and researCh paper at the saMe time. Having to knOw a few new frieNds
are amaZing too..they’re juSt fun and craZy in a way (“,) …..We weNt shopping,
eating gOod foods in Malacca, visited the famOus Jonker Street, had the beSt
time ever during bbQ and fellowship sesSions in the house…craZy photo taking
sessions…trashing sessions..its all just sO great.

Ven..thanks
for the invitatiOns and your friendship…its truLy appreCiated from deep down.

And
the FiVe of you..*you knOw who yOu are*..Thanks for the gReat friendship and
its been a lot of fun with all of you…

And
darLing Eric…thanks for aLways making sure I’m aLright and giving me the beSt…love
yOu so muCh. 

*pictures to be upload in the next entry*
 

 
                And
here I would anNounce the 21 years old Karen Lai is fiNally goNna overcome her
fears for handLing cars and she’s gonna be taking her driving liCense starting
in the mOnth of June..whOaoooo!!!!! Earlier on I had plans to take the licence back in KK but there’s no
enough time for me to do it back home. So since I’m free by the month of
July..I guess I could take it here and its pretty cheap compare to the price in
KK. Oh by the way..Nilai now has Giant..a mini shopping complex but I’m content
enough for this jungle I;m currently in. And thanks to Giant..I got the good
offer and forCing myself to go for it due to the price and convenience sake.  

 I
guess that’s all for this entry. I shall be free from my thesis paper in
another 4days…and I cant wait. This Sat, I’ll be meeting my hometown friends in
KL and celebrate one of the Badutz’s birthday…till the next update~

                Time flies when we leaSt expeCt it t0. Time seEms t0 be f0rever when the m0ments arent just right. Lo0king back….I’ve stepped fo0t in Nilai f0r ab0ut tw0 and half years. And in leSs than 4m0nth, it w0uld be an ending f0r my c0llege days which will als0 marks the beginning of my w0rking life. A life which I had s0 much dilemmas ab0ut and s0 muCh w0rries. Would I be able t0 c0pe with the stressful life of the field that I’m inv0lved in?? Would I be able t0 manaGe the heCtic w0rkl0ads when it requires travelling with0ut getting l0st in the city filled with pressures?? Would I get a go0d job with0ut requiring me t0 have my 0wn transp0rt?? Sigh. There’s s0 much things t0 w0rry ab0ut. Acc0modati0n…transp0rts…financial matters…arGhhh!!!

                I w0uld really miss c0lleGe days badLy after graduating fr0m here…but the suCky part is that sinCe I’m only finishing my exaMs by end of July, I would miss out the convocati0n in Aug whiCh means…I have t0 wait f0r an0ther year t0 g0 f0r my c0nv0 becauSe its held annually. Sucks right?? Yeah definately. So n0 sqUare hats f0r me this year…hmmmp. Well this sem is really g0nna be a busy 0ne. I mean really busy 0ne…three subjects but tw0 carries d0ubLe credits and all three are full c0ursew0rk basis…so I’m juSt…s0 deaD. Hopefully by God’s graCe…I can manage everything even th0ugh its g0nna be real t0ugh haHa.

               Since its my last semeSter here with darLing Eric, s0 basically the previ0us sem break was the laSt 0ne f0r b0th of us. But limited t0 onLy 0ne week break…we to0k our time t0 hang 0ut a c0uple of days in Genting. N0t f0r the entertainment or what…we juSt wanna spend quality times theRe. Haha but the consequenCes is that we would have to g0 thr0ugh the sinus everyday lar…but it was a gReat oNe. Thanks f0r every singLe thing y0u did f0r me Hubby.

Camwh0ring during buffet dinner whiLe waiting f0r fo0d to digeSt a lil haha…..

Happy birthDay t0 Hubby………

Happy birthDay t0 y0u…………Hubby EriC.

From a giRl who fell s0 deep in Love witH y0u…

Baby.

                    Good times pass by in a blink of eye…as if everything to0k place in a minute. As bad as it sound, I’m n0w back in Nilai being am0ng the earliest t0 get my self back here f0r n0 reas0n..sigh. The smart-ass me b0ught a super early flight and it would c0st a b0mb if I ever wanna make any flight changes. Well  anyh0w there’s still a go0d part ab0ut it…it was way cheaper when I b0ught it c0mpare t0 current price.

                    Bef0re I went back…Valentine’s day was a sweet day t0 scribble ab0ut. I was actually leaving back to KK on 15th which means I’m n0t expecting any fl0wers fr0m Eric. To my suprise, he came t0 get me in c0llege with such a beautiful b0uquet of r0ses and co0ked a sumpt0us dinner all by himself. It was really sweet. A handmade card was n0t out of the picture…I was t0uched. Thank y0u hubby f0r the eff0rt y0u put in and g0ing the extra mile f0r me. Loving y0u always.

The b0uquet…w0nderful b0uquet.

And ta-daaa….me with my b0uquet. I carried it all the way back t0 kk from LCCT…I cant leave such a sweet thing in the ro0m in this dreadful Nilai !!!

And he wh0 0wns the b0uquet bef0re I do…lovely hubby.

                    There’s n0 other better place t0 celebrate such an imp0rtant 0ccasi0n like Chinese New Year other than my very 0wn c0mfort z0ne…a place I call h0me. I only had 6days t0 spend when I was back there. Shaky flight, diarrhea (pst…I’m actually n0t quite sure of h0w it spells haha) and waking up early has caused me to feel dizzy and headache for quite the entire day. So I spend the day playing with lil Jack..the baby wh0m my mom babysits and my nephew HengHeng…oh and an0ther girl wh0m my m0m was babysitting since her baby days. The next day, I went t0 t0wn with Mom and Dad t0 buy s0me stuffs for visiting during our trip back to Keningau. I cant believe I actually found the the style of bag and shoes that I wanted long time ag0 right here in KK. So says wh0 KK is n0t a g0od shopping plaCe huh ???
Haha. Well We were suppose t0 str0ll at the night market that was prepared only tw0 day prior to CNY. Chinese people call it "Ya-Si"…it means mid/night market. Because we were quite early..so we went to Wisma to av0id the current cr0wd there. Thats where Mom bought a pair of lovely sh0es and a handbag f0r me…i really lurVe it so0oooo muCh !!!

The handbag that matches the sh0es fr0m dear Mom…
Such a go0d pair because it matches the shirt I was suppose to wear b0ught by hubby…woo h00~

EEeeee…isnt he’s such a cutie ???

And there g0es the three musketeers in my h0use haha….never fail t0 make the m0st noise in the h0use…pengsan me.

And may I present the m0st w0nderful lady in my life…the angel wh0 kept me g0ing and believes in me n0 matter what.
She’s my amazing Mom..

Mom’s relatives in Keningau…my cousin sister and her mom, my aunt. Err…her husband is my mom’s br0ther =)

Thats my uncle on the ladder trying to pick rambutans f0r us…he has a garden full of vegetables and fruits…
He’s my mom’s br0ther.

                    And bef0re I knew it, I am back here once again. I had a w0nderful time when we travel back t0 mom’s h0met0wn alth0ught it was a lil rushing because I had to catch my flight the next day. I’m really h0mesick by n0w. Tears filled me when Mom sends me off t0day at the airp0rt…the lady I love the m0st had s0 much of tears fl0wing when she hugged me. Nothing c0uld ever c0mpare t0 that and she’s simply the best. Thats why i’m s0 homesick.
n0w I’ll lo0k f0rward t0 Saturday….where hubby returns.

Signing off, Karen.

                 The day where every girl awaits the arrival of suprises with r0ses and gifts at her do0rsteps…the day where every guy g0 t0 the extra mile juSt f0r their lil angel t0 make that day mem0rable and special…the day where lovebirds share the very best m0ments…Valentine’s Day.

                  As f0r my part…darling’s birthDay fell on the same m0nth. So I prepared a s0 called suprise dinner f0r him. The night turned 0ut pretty well and I would let pictures d0 the talking…
