Reviving Time~!

I guess it's time to revive this blog :D

Quick recap - I'll be heading to UNSW, Sydney on Thursday to do my degree in Actuarial Studies, under the Golden Jubilee Scholarship *yay!*

So here's what happened to me yesterday :D *extracted from an MSN convo with Ai Li, as i'm too lazy to write the whole thing again*

kittenz says:
u know, yesterday i went to batu laut, and got my boat back to klang
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
good la..
kittenz says:
we took the blue honda, so that can cartop the boat... going there was smooth
aili says:
coming back was havoc??
kittenz says:
yea,, sort of
kittenz says:
coming back, when i was approaching sijangkang, and happily asleep in the car, my dad asked me what's that noise from the engine
aili says:
broke down??
kittenz says:
at the same time, sahir called me and asked me to stop by in sijangkang, because haji wanted to see me
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
for what??
aili says:
pay cheque??
kittenz says:
so when we pulled over at the petrol station, the engine died, and i met up with haji because he wanted to give me my last allowance
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
good for you..
kittenz says:
when we got the engine running, it was overheating on and off, so my dad got worried, and the boat is still on the car, with the mast
aili says:
then how??
kittenz says:
we managed to arrive port klang safely, and unloaded the boat there
aili says:
thank god..
kittenz says:
then on the way back, when in the klang town, going onto the flyover, the car engine died again, and there was no more power
kittenz says:
so we were stranded on the flyover, causing a jam for more than an hour
aili says:
haha..
kittenz says:
then to finally move the car, the workshop's car pulled ahead in from of our car, and we used my dad's old laser mainsheet, to tie the two cars
aili says:
omg..
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
mainsheets do come into use after all..
kittenz says:
on the way to the workshop, it was so hard for my dad to steer, and to break accordingly, plus, sometimes we got jerked by the pulling car... something like being towed by a speedboat in an optimist
aili says:
good comparison..
aili says:
lol..
kittenz says:
lol, so many times we got jerked because our car's engine cannot on... so steering pun susah...
kittenz says:
and there was once where they stopped, and my dad didn't break, so we hit their car
aili says:
omg..
aili says:
that's likek kinda funny rite??
aili says:
like..
kittenz says:
yeah i was saying like, now it's out turn to give them a jerk
kittenz says:
and that's not the end of it... once at the workshop, the reef knot that we used became so tight, that we had to cut the rope
aili says:
o gee..
aili says:
wasted..

Gone are the days~!

Where I'd sit in the office and loaf all day... hahaha... It's a good thing, actually, which is why I've barely the time to update this blog, like I used to... Anyhow, things have a smoother pace for me (as an intern anyway) because I'm not overloaded like before... Well, it's not like i'm not supposed to be overloaded, but i guess it takes some time for things to sink into my head afterall... Even tho I used to think i'm a fast learner... heh.

Thanks for commenting my new blog skin... Special thanks to sclazunami (Scla) for showing me the website where I got my blog skin from... although they're in a different language, i like the layouts and such, and there different anime skins there... was having trouble picking, so I settled for this Yukito/Yue skin~

Last week's internship was okay, since I've not much to do, but that doesn't mean I was doing absolutely nothing in the office... I started working on my Final Report for this internship, while submitting and looking for scholarship applications...

I think I've posted this earlier, (oh well) got an offer to study in MQ... need... to... look... for... accomodation... can't decide which college looks good... Robert Menzies College or Dunmore Lang College. Something tells me I should apply for both... and perhaps the university apartments there as well... and whatever there is there... looks nice and quaint... If I get the offer from UNSW, I'll have a hard time picking... UNLESS, the offer me a scholarship =D (cross fingers)

WeeWoo

Finally I managed to clear up most of my tasks... all of them, actually... that is client/company-related...

Now I'm focusing on my reports for UiTM and such, scholarship applications, etc, before the client stuff comes back to keep me busy...

Today, I also received my official offer to study at Maquarie University... YAY!

Ohemgee!

Internship ## W#

My days at the office took a sudden turn... From having almost nothing to do, now I feel like I have too much to do... Well, not really... What I'm experiencing is only a small workload, of that the other consultants are doing, but for me, I could almost reach my own breaking point... Hahaha.. So many things to do, with one common deadline: Friday. I didn't finish them... went home... although i did contemplate of staying in the office after working hours...

It was the time, when I thought I could only buy back lunch and work with lunch at my cubicle... But my department went out for a big lunch, in Desa Seri Hartamas in fact, taking away about 3 hours of work :P

And then, there's the birthday cake for February babies... Me included, of course... and that took about another 30 minutes of work... Eek!

My colleague told me to go home... hahaha... I was clearly looking a bit blur already, everytime a colleague is passing info to me... It doesn't sink in my head straightaway... *sigh* Anyway, here's an announcement:

I'm not going to post any more updates on my internship until most of my work load is cleared

*Sudden pause*

I just saw Saiful's dancing on TV during the pause, of writing this entry... That was awesome! I could recognize him because of his hair... hahaha... it's for the Anugerah Bintang Popular... I enjoyed the synchronization of the dance... I always like that part :D And since I'm usually oblivious when it comes to these events on TV, i guess it was a sweet coincidence, when I went to the tv area to tell my brother to go downstairs for dinner... hahaha...

Anyway, back to me, I'm getting more and more annoyed at my sailing manager... of course not the ones u usually meet, but more of that guy whom most of the sailing ppl (including coaches) dislike... ARGH

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Internship #20 and #21 W4 going into W5

I don't have anything to do... But stay on neo... What to do... What to do...

Although I did a few stuff... mostly editing the work that i've done...

But now I don't know what to do...

Most of the data are not in yet... *pokes clients*

ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzzzzzz..............

On the 19th day of working, my true love said to me~

Nothing.
Lol... He just made some noises on the MSN Conversation, and that's about it...

Internship #19 W4

Yesterday the traffic jam was horrible! The worse, ever, that Rudy and I decided to eat dinner first, before heading home...

Usually we would be back at home around 6.30 pm

We arrived home around 7.45 pm.

GRRRRRR

I even arrived at my brother's office in Kerinchi late, because the road was flooded, and I couldn't cross it to get to the LRT station...

By the time I arrived home, I was so tired... Went online a bit (as usual), and I thought of taking a nap around 9 PM... I woke up the next day (today) =p I even slept with the lights on... but the sleep was so refreshing, and i felt pretty rejuvenated, after not having a day off, ever since i started working... (not literally, of course, since they day offs i took from work, i had tons of other things to do)

I want to change my blog skin...

Happy Valentines... I know it's a day late :P

Internship #17 & #18 W4

Now it's basically going throught the same stuff all over again... well, not really...

Just did another proposal, and more reviews came in... Yesterday and today was mostly spent talking to ppl on the phone to request some information... One thing about being a consultant, that differs from the people in insurance firms, is that you liase with a big bunch of people... At least now I don't have that "shy" feeling of calling an unknown person... But I do have to brush up my talking skills... or whatever you call it.. haha... i often mumble, and maybe it'll be a lot easier once i understand everything about this industry... trustees, trust funds, benefits, contributions, and so on... especially since when i called to inquire fees and such, they ask me a lot of questions, and most of the time, i don't know what they're talking about... hahaha...

I'm tired of the same title...

Internship #16 W4

So my status will be displayed in the post, itself :P

Yesterday was another day of nothing much... So I'm given the task to call up a few companies to ask for the quotation of their services... Half of the companies/banks that I managed to get through, passed my call all over the place, till i got disconnected somewhere... :K:K:K argh

I was also exposed to another machinery in the office... the whole puncher, or something... it's a machine that can punches a hole on big stacks of documents... it's almost literally like a drill, where you turn the switch on, and it drills the hole into the paper... :P

That's all :P

Oooh... I went out with Rudy and Wan Yee to One Utama for some stuff... actually Anuar asked me to buy a valentines gift so that he can give it to his friend :P After that, both of the guys went out for yamcha with their friends, and i stayed home playin WoW :D:D:D

Internship #15, W3

I've only done three weeks of internship!!! LOL

There was nothing much to do on Friday, so I was mostly surfing around online, and chatting with people, since my b-day was still celebrated on the other side of the planet...

Nads followed me home today, because she's staying over my house, until my pool party :) It was fun... we watched FOUR episodes of house, and she read a lot of Furuba as well...

My bday party was fun... Bal, Peanut (such a cute boy!), shairah, nadia, elina + bf, aida + hubby + son, rudy's friend (Az^1) came :) i'm glad i didn't buy too much food... it was just nice.

Thanks for the lovely presents, and thanks even more for attending the party :) *hugs you all*

Internship #12,13,14 W3

Well, actually, I can't remember what I did on Tuesday... eep... perhaps finalized more proposals, and composed an engagement letter... *goes to check outlook*

Ooooh! On Tuesday, a client agreed to the proposal I sent earlier, which is why the letter of engagement is needed... Hurrah!

Wednesday, I was not at work. I was on leave. I was to submit deposit at the management's office, send my camera to the Sony HQ to be fixed, get my picture taken at the faculty for some kind of nomination, go to the Selangor States Sports Council for a medical examination and a physicial test... AAAAaaaaaaa!!!

Well, now it's over, and today's Thursday... And it's my BIRTHDAY!!! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I'm officially 21 years old now :D:D:D:D

Also today, the data arrived from one of the branches, so I had to clean it... Frankly, I don't have a clear understanding of the whole cleaning process yet... I was given until tomorrow to do it... But I finished it this morning... ha ha ha.. now i don't know what to do xD
