My Holiday's Gonna End Soon

26/10/2017

I started looking for a job after a long 5 months holiday, lazing around at home. And so, after a month waiting and searching, interviews after interviews I finally got myself a job in Dell.

Initially I didn't really wanna enter Dell. My first choice was Lumileds but the interview really made me emotional. The interview was so fine until near to the end, the manager saw that I am not conversant in writing and reading chinese. He rejected me then. Before that he offered me a position in AP or AR but I refused.

So I went to Keysight. This is one fucked up interview. I already knew this interview was for an advance level position but I didn't know why they asked me for the interview. They didn't ask much but from the very beginning I already know I'll fail the interview. 

Then I went to Dell. They offered me almost immediately it as a contractor. If initially they told me so, I would have accepted the offer. But out of the sudden, I told the hiring manager I wanted to wait for the permanent position. It's also due to it's too easy to get this job. So I didn't want to in addition of the fact that I didn't get to see the whole financial statements. But as time goes by, I started to think that this job isn't that easy to get. Out of stress I dated Jordan and Jimmy and asked for details. We went for a long steamboat and they comfort me a lot. Especially Jimmy. Then I started to accept the fact of being a contractor, so I asked the hiring manager about it, But another interview from them popped out. It has been a week since the second interview.

I asked Jordan and he said they are hiring me as a permanent, asking me to be patient. So I guess soon I'll be working. End of my holiday.

The morning before my second interview with Dell, Alan (my former boss from my previous firm) pm me asking me to go back. I just told him I got the job in Dell but as a contractor, so they're now trying to fit me in as a permanent (it was just a lie which became a fact later on). He said the 2 senior are leaving and it's not a bad thing, so he needs me there to manage the office. He said he would discuss the package with me, especially my salary and position. So I guess it would be an audit supervisor? Too fast! At one glance, I was really attracted with the position. But the think again, the files, the job, the workload... OMG. Although I told him I'll consider for a night (just for the sake of respect) but I rejected almost immediately.

The next day I told him it wasn't easy to get a job in Dell and since they had offered me, regardless of being contractor or permanent, I didn't want the chance to slip away. He said he would want me to learn some managing skills before entering commercial line (afterall I'm better at managing the office than anyone else when I was there, otherwise why would all the interns and juniors seek for me? And the fact that the seniors are just doing files for the sake of doing files. They don't understand at all why are they doing so. What left me speechless most was the "ever so smart" told the juniors that in the administrative expenses, certain accounts CANNOT be vouch! WTF! Are you stupid? I guess you are! All accounts can be vouched, but certain accounts are COMPULSORY to be vouched! You stupid ah? Why need to vouch why not also don't know! Walao! No wonder you kept on complaining why I didn't check certain items, cause you don't even know it's not compulsory to do so! Stupid, laugh die me!). But I just told him thanks but no thanks. I know you're a nice boss to work for, but I just don't wanna go back there. At the very least, not so fast! The fear is still there.

Like hello, the clients are like shits! The files are all shits! I, entering as a supervisor would need to clean up all the SHITS! And he said the seniors are all gone which means leaving all the juniors?! All those trained by me had left! No army with me anymore! Anyhow, later on, I told Molli about it and she got the news that the seniors weren't leaving. AM wasn't leaving either. She's been transferred to KL branch. So if Alan said they are leaving which means there are 2 possibilities;

1. If I enter, he'll transfer the seniors to KL or get fired.
2. The seniors themselves volunteer to go to KL.

Anyhow, I think it's a trick. I mean that one may be stupid enough to fire the boss or let the boss fire, but the "ever so smart", she's too smart to leave the firm (although she's still stupid to doing practical files).

Anyway, that was on my process for job searching.

Previously, it was Baby's first birthday. It wasn't that big. Baby's shocked the whole day tho.














Anyway, Baby's growing up so fast!

Nothing had really happened within these days tho. I've been staying at home most of my time.
So that'sit.

A Jobless Life

05/07/2017

Half of the year has passed. I'm jobless again for already 2 months. I'm so bored that I wanted to go to work again but whenever I see the advertisements online, I just don't think I wanna apply. Cause I really wanna get into a nice company that can at least allow me to stay for 3 years. So I'm really picky this time.

Anyway, days gone by, me being at home most of the time cause I just wanna spend time accompanying my mum. People post stuff in the internet saying things like you won't realize things until your mum left you or when you realize the wrinkles they have and bla bla bla and stuff like that. It doesn't feels much see those posts online until when you really hold your mum's hand. That day, I held my mum's hand and realized how old her hands had become. From all the struggles she had for us all these years, I've not been the best daughter I should have been. So, I just wanna say, me part of being jobless is just because I wanna spend time with my mum. Although it's only sitting in the living room and watch tv with her.

Anyway, unbelievably, my best friend KY is also jobless with me again. LOL. But this time, cause she's a girlfriend, so we didn't spend much time together than me used to back than.

Anyway, last week was a long weekend, so my man has finally got time to spend with me. We went to KL for a short holiday. It was just a brief and relaxing trip when I planned but it became a rushing and tiring trip when we got there. Cause of all the sudden, we just went to places we didn't initially planned to go. It was fun though. Doing anything regardless of how difficult and tiring, is always fun when you do it with your love one.




This coming week will be another long weekend for my man. We're planning on a short trip again. I was thinking a day trip to Bukit Tinggi but I guess it's a bit tiring for the both of us.

Anyway, life as a jobless girl, I only have time for myself at midnight. I have unconsciously been rotating my sleep-time from 5am to 2pm. OMG. Anyway, I had started watercolor-ing again tho.





At lonely nights, I would think of lots of things. Like what have I been doing, what I've done, and many many what-if's. So annoying.

Anyway, I'm just hoping I find a nice Company soon with a high salary.

Goal for the year 2017 - Taiwan

Was on a major trip this year with my man. Finally, after 3 years + (or 4 years? I can't remember), I'm finally riding a flight with him - to Taiwan.

This is the most 'exciting' trip I've been to, cause we were so busy that we hadn't book hotel rooms the day before we flew! And we didn't even had a plan to travel the country! We only booked flights and that's it! Luckily, my bro is an expert that he helped us the day before, otherwise we'll be dead.


Cause we were in a rush til the very last minute, the plan wasn't that perfect. During the trip, we cancelled certain places, wasted hotel room bookings, change of lots of plans, wasted too much time on travelling. But, going through the bads with your love one is definitely excitingly fun.

Our random itinery:

Day 1: Fly Penang --> KL --> Taoyuan Airport --> Taichung
Day 2: Taichung --> Flower & Lavender Garden --> Gao Mei Wetlands --> Fengjia Night Market
Day 3: Taichung --> Chingjing Sheep Farm --> Night Flower Garden
Day 4: Chingjing --> Sun Moon Lake --> Monster Village --> Sun Moon Lake
Day 5: Sun Moon Lake --> Ximending, Taipei --> Wufenpu --> Shida Night Market
Day 6: Ruifang --> Houtong Cat Village --> Shifen --> Jiufen
Day 7: Ferris Wheel --> Taipei 101 --> TamSui --> Shilin Night Market
Day 8: Ximending --> Taipei Public Transport StationUnderground mall --> KL
Day 9: KL --> Penang

Taipei Street

Taiwan famous milk tea, Taichung Bus Station

 Sun Moon Lake

 Monster Village, Xitou
Chingjing Sheep Farm, Nantao

Gao Mei Wetlands, Taichung

 Flower & Lavender Garden, Taichung

There were so many places I'm really happy that I went like the Gao Mei Wetlands, definitely my most favourite place. Also the Monster Village, Xitou, worth sacrificing other places and hotel bookings for. We sacrificed going to Hua Lien and Cultural Village, Nantou just to get to the Monster Village.

My missions in Taiwan had achieved satisfyingly;
1. Ride a bike around  -  checked
2. Eat Taiwan Sausages  -  checked
3. Drink milk tea and papaya milk  -  checked
4. Eat Mee Sua Oyster  -  checked
5. Eat Fried oyster  - nope
6. Buy sport shoes and birkenstocks  -  nope
7. See sunset or sunrise  -  nope (the weather is bad almost everyday)
8. Get stamps around  - checked
9. Get to cat village  -  checked
10. Ride on a long distance train  -  checked

And most importantly, shop til you drop! The cloths there are sooooo cheap! I should have bought more. But we almost overload our luggage. Okay, we did, so we did some tricks on our hand-carry so we weren't overloaded.



This is like only 60% of our stuff bought.

This is so far the best holiday I've been to. I definitely wanna go there again with my man. Most importantly, he seems really happy and it seems like he wants to come again.
