Part time job....take one!
Okay, so I found a job YESTERDAY (too lazy to blog yesterday because I was too damn tired when I got back so yea, I lied bout being able to post 365 times...) and I quit my job 9 hours later! Whoo...what a record! That must be my shortest time it took for me to loose a job...and it’s my first job to boot!

It started out on a bright sunny day when Jaclyn and I decided to go round and look for part time jobs. I mean, I wasn’t really looking for a job, more like scouting so I wasn’t exactly trying or hoping to get a job...har har har...look what happened...
Anyways, we started off with lunch at Tun Jugah cause of the food court there...I think we’re a wee bit too used to eating Asia Café style...haha...so our first stop was Populars because I think working at a bookshop is...okay? Cause you get to read all those books when you’re suppose to be working…or something like that... Anyways, attempt number 1 failed...apparently they weren’t short handed at the moment...
So we thought to head over to coffee bean...and, I saw...ta ta ta tum...this computer shop and I was thinking, why not, just go and ask. It’s not as if we’d get a job there...owh whatever are the possibilities (note the sarcasm).
So we went in...and I talked to the boss...it went a little something like this:

Me: We’re looking for part time jobs actually so we were wondering if you have any available?

Boss: Actually (suddenly sounding very excited...which is not a good thing for us...) we’re in need of people...

Jac and I were like, yes...not bad...

Boss: Can you start now...?

Jac and I....urrmmm..?

Boss: We’ll pay 2.50 per hour

Jac and I....oookay...sounds okay....

Boss: Can you start now?

And that, my friends, was how I got conned into taking a job at the Fujitsu/Mac store, promoting...Which was a boring as hell!
Let’s see...
I...
Stock checked for 6 freaking hours...I now know the store intimately so I’ll know what they sell and what they don’t and what brand they sell and whatsoever and I shall never never never stock check if I’m a newbie because it is DAMN hard to find all the stocks, especially if you have a lot of stock and that you have to count them and sometimes it’s hard to reach for certain items...did I mention it’s hard to find all the stocks especially when they have names you don’t know...
Next...
I stood like there like a dungu...
Stood around some more
Then...
Stood around a little bit more
Read some brochures...
Stand around a bit more...
Occasionally talk to Jac...

Frankly, I tried to kill 3 freaking hours by standing...haha... Anyways, by 6 Jaclyn was asking, can we quit? Cause it’s so FREAKING boring! And I was in total agreement...totally totally and yups...totally...
So 9 hours after we signed up, we went to the boss and we said...can we quit?
So that my friends, is how I earned RM22.50 after standing around doing nothing...
Not bad...at least I’m not at home, sitting around and doing nothing and I wouldn’t get RM22.50...haha

To be or not to be? Engineering or Architecture?

Okay, the moment of truth…

Engineering vs Architecture

UK vs Australia

4 years vs 6 years

Haiz…I’m feeling confused and panicky right now, no kidding here.

You know, I thought I had this all figured out since well duh, architecture is like 6 years and I doubt I want to spend 20s ass stuck in college while my friends prance round in suits. Then again, architecture might sound promising since first off it’s from the one and only Melbourne University which I had been dying to get in since it’s like the top university in Australia and its damn near to the city. Secondly, it’s architecture, which is the love child of physics and art, two subs I’ll PROBABLY enjoy. So what if I suck in art, I have 6 frigging years to polish it up. AND, architects will prolly have a higher chance of getting a job compared to engineers. I just have to suck up to the fact that it’s SIX FREAKING YEARS!

Engineering…sounds ok-ok, especially since it’s purely science, something I’ve been doing since form 4. 4 years is a good average too since practically every course has an average of 4 years. UK? Even better…I get to go to all sorts of places, of course can’t tell mummy and daddy I plan to do that…:D…tee hee…UK is like one of the places I have to go…before I die that is…(plenty of time actually)…So it seems fitting that I pick engineering no? Nice to have my happy bubble burst cause I just found out that mechanical engineering (a course which I had been considering)…is, in short, a man’s world…haiz…not that I mind (seeming as my A lvls class was mostly guys) but – they’d be dealing in machinery, that I HAD thought I wouldn’t mind…I don’t think I do? Anyways, I don’t know bout all the other subjects like Chemical Eng or like E&E or Civil (HA! This is a bigger man’s world apparently)…looks like loads more research…whoopee doopee…Hmm…Nottingham would be the college of my choice if I do go for engineering but I hope I can get better…like Imperial no? haha…just joking…I’m not that amazing :P…ack…I need recommendations on good local universities that offer twinning…MORE research…whoopee…

Then again…I do have 6 mths to kill…ballroom dancing anyone?

P.S. This is my third post in 1 and a half days…Owh, my, GOD! I’m reaching the point of desperation here! I can’t imagine blogging so often in the span of 6 mths…

3 posts in 1 and a half days = 1 post in half a day

1 year has 365 days = ½ a year has 182.5 days

182.5 days = 365 posts!

Whoa….

Post Secrets
Okay, second post here, I must be seriously bored out of my mind to post that often. Anyways it's just more crap to be added to make my blog look...more crappy..Haha...

So, I'll be promoting a lil bit here on post secret cause i found it a while back and watching Dirty Little Secret MV by all-american rejects kinda reminded me of it. So here's some very cool dirty lil secret.








It's pretty interesting what people keep as their secret. Hmm...maybe I should write to them one day....:D
