Dong Dong Chiang

Yes, yes, i can feel it! The mood... 'Dong Dong Chiang!' Hey, not the 'Dong Dong Chiang' where there are people wearing white, blue or green and red is not allowed one okay? xD I mean the 'Dong Dong Chiang' where most people will be wearing as reddish as they can. Yes, it's Chinese New Year! It's drawing near.

Many elderly folks said that Chinese New Year is the day when we forgive each other, have dinner together, and most importantly, reunite with family members who live far away or maybe children who are away from home for studies. Yes, it's indeed true.

When i was a young boy... Okay, i'm still young! =D When i was a younger boy, i used to think that Chinese New Year is all about ang pau's, fire crackers, new clothes, holidays and nice food. As i grew a little older, where my brother has gone outstation to further his studies, i realised that how important it is to cherish every single moment when we are together and staying close to each other with our loved ones.

Now that Chinese New Year is drawing near, take this opportunity to gather all your family members, have reunion dinner together and have a great time enjoying each other's company! =)

Don't show me that kind of expression. xD

I was browsing my photo albums just now and saw one of the funniest photos that i've ever edited.

Uncle, you lost your son? That's not your son, Uncle. xD

By the way, this old man isn't related to me. Haha! Enjoy! =D

You're Hired!

Yes, i'm hired! =) Get it right! It's hired, not fired! Haha! I was supposed to receive an sms yesterday regarding the result of my interview but i didn't receive any. So i called up the company and asked about it. The people there asked me to contact the person who's in charge in Klang, John. I called him up and he asked me to call again today because he wasn't in the office and cant check for me. So i called him up again this morning and everything turned out positively!

I'm hired but i'll start working on February. It's not an everyday job. It's only weekends but not every weekend. John asked me to work on the 14th, 15th, 21st and 22nd of February for a two-week-project. That means i'll be celebrating Valentine's Day with those Bangladeshi workers who work in Giant and other workers as well. Haha!

Anyway, i'm happy that i'm hired and i cant wait to celebrate my Valentine's Day with Bangladeshi workers! xD

Good time

Went to Fruity yesterday to celebrate Alex's 18th Birthday which was actually fell on the 7th of January. Had so much fun there. It was a great time catching up with my friends who are already in the college.

After Fruity, went to Alex's place for some games of carom. Went back home at 6.00pm.

When i reached home, i took my shower and went to Giant Bukit Tinggi with family. It was so crowded there. Saw Pn. Sunita there but she didn't see me. xD Bought some drinks there for Chinese New Year and went for dinner.

Had my dinner at Hang Sing Seafood Restaurant. For your information, that restaurant belongs to Nelson's family. I tell you, they serve the best Hokkien Mee in Klang Town! Even those who stay as far as KL come to his shop to have Hokkien Mee! Not only Hokkien Mee, the food there i tell you, only one word can describe it, YUMMY! =) They serve pork free food. Everything there is Halal. This restaurant is located in Pandamaran. It's a house shop. It's located opposite the Pandamaran field, very near to Kompleks Sukan Pandamaran. So guys, try out the food there!

Anyway, i'm sharing this with you guys because i'm a food lover. =D So if you guys have got any recommendation about any nice makan place, do share with me too yea! xD

The Interview

I went for my interview two days ago(Friday) in Demo Power Sdn Bhd. Woke up at 6.30am. Went for breakfast after sending my sister to school. Reached Telok Pulai train station at 7.30am and waited for the train for about half an hour. Finally, the train arrived at 7.55am.

I reached KL Sentral at 9.00am. I was taking my own sweet time because according to my friend, Adrian, who recommended me to work for this company, it'll only take about half an hour for me to reach that company by Rapid KL bus. So i thought i'll reach there early around 9.35am or 9.40am because my interview was at 10.00am.

The situation became bad when i couldn't find the bus which i was supposed to take. Previously, Adrian told me to take the U82 Rapid KL bus because that was the bus he took when he went there for interview last time. Searched high and low for that U82 bus but still couldn't find it. So i went to the ticket counter and asked whether are there any other buses that i can take besides that 'nowhere to be found U82 bus'. The guy who worked there said that U82 is the only bus that passes through the place where i wanted to go.

U66, U78, U70, U83, U74, U85, U68........ All these buses passed by me but U82 was still nowhere to be seen! It was already 9.20am. I said to myself, 'gone lah gone lah.. sure cant make it for the interview'. Then came the taxi driver, asking me whether wanna take the taxi or not. I asked, "bang, nak pergi Phileo Damansara II(where Demo Power Sdn Bhd was located), berapa ya?". The taxi driver said, "25 ringgit". Then i asked again, "5 ringgit boleh kah? i ni student". Actually i knew that RM5 was too cheap and the taxi driver won't drive me there but still i have to try on my luck. You know what the taxi driver said? He said, "you ingat sini Petaling Street kah?". The taxi driver got pissed off and drove away. My bad.. xD Finally, the U82 bus came! Fiuh...!

In the bus, i told the bus driver(a lady) to drop me at Phileo Damansara II. She said okay. So she dropped me there. I reached there sharp at 10.00am. Wah, such a relief! I went up to the 8th floor where the company is located and told the receptionist that i went there for interview. She then asked the manager to approach me. Our conversation:
Me: Good morning, Sir!
Manager: Good morning! So you come here for interview?
Me: Yes!
Manager: What post?

Me: Promoter, Sir.
Manager: Oh? I think you've come into the wrong office. We don't offer this type of job.
Me: But this is Phileo Damansara II right?

Manager: So sorry, this is Phileo Damansara I. Phileo Damansara II is the other side. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from this building to that building.
Me: What?! Okay then, so sorry to interrupt you. Thank you very much!

Ahhh...! The time was already 10.05am. I was so angry and nervous because i knew that i was gonna be late for my interview. That bus driver told me the wrong thing and dropped me at a different place. I ran all the way to Phileo Damansara II. I reached that office at 10.15am. Went in and apologised for being late. Surprisingly, i wasn't the latest one to arrive! There were two more Indian girls who came in around 10.30am because they drove there and took the wrong road.

The whole process started with some briefing sessions. It took about two hours. After those briefing sessions, we were given a 5-minute break before we proceeded to the interview part.

Right after the break, one was called after another for the interview. I was the fifth one. I was quite nervous because this was the first time attending jobs interview. So i went into the room and greeted the trainer 'Good Morning' without realising that it was already 12.00pm. Lol! I was given three products and i had to choose one of them to promote it. It wasn't really an interview because all they wanted to see was how well do we perform, promote, speak and approach the customers
. So i just simply crapped about the product that i chose. It was quite tough though. We all were allowed to go back after the interview session was over. And they'll let us know on the 14th of January whether we passed the interview or not.

So i headed back to the bus stop where i was dropped off. I was supposed to wait at the opposite side of the road because the opposite road was the road going back to KL Sentral but i couldn't find any bus stop there. So i waited at the bus stop that i was dropped off earlier. Waited for the bus for about half an hour. I looked at my watch when i stepped into the bus and it was 1.00pm already and i thought i shall reach KL Sentral before 2.00pm. 2.10pm, i was still in the bus. The bus drove me around KL and stopped at the bus terminal behind One Utama for 20 minutes for no reason! The weather was so hot and all the passengers have to wait under the scorching Sun because that lady wanted to clean the bus. After she cleaned the bus, she asked us to get back into the bus again. Reached KL Sentral at 2.50pm.


The train came at 3.00pm. Found a seat in the train, made myself comfortable, set my alarm and dozed off. I was too tired because i didn't have a good night sleep the night before. I woke up when my alarm rang at 3.40pm. I stood up to check whether there were how many stations left to Telok Pulai station. Then i saw Cheng sitting behind me. I was quite surprised. Haha! Chatted with him until Telok Pulai station. My mum came and i went back home.

Overall, it wasn't a pleasant day for me. Many unpleasant things happened and all the things didn't go the way i wanted them to be. I hope i'll pass the interview and start working soon because i don't wanna 'rot' at home. xD

I know this is a long post. Spent kinda long time typing it. Hope you all enjoy reading it! =)

Lazy + Fat = Me

Many of my friends have started their college life, some of them have started working part time jobs and i? Well, i've chosen to go Form 6. So i'm still waiting for my SPM result. Ever since SPM ended, i've been telling myself to get a part time job but it'll be only after Chinese New Year because i wanted to relax and hang out with my friends. Yes, i did relax and go out with my friends. But now, most of my friends are all so packed with their studies(college) and some of them have already started working.

So my daily routine now is waking up after 9.00am, picking up my sister from school, sending her to her tuition classes and picking her up again and doing some housework. Yeah, i know i've got a very dull life. And some may say that i'm a lazy bum. Haha!

To prevent myself from getting more lazy, i called up an agent company few days ago, hoping to get a job. I got good respond from that company and i'm scheduled to go for an interview on this Friday in Damansara. I'll be going there by train and bus. Anyone wanna follow? =D I'll be most probably working as a promoter in any supermarkets in Klang. =)

I've been eating a lot these days. My appetite is really good and i get hungry very fast. Many said it's good but i don't think so because consuming a lot of fats and carbohydrate without exercising may lead to OBESITY! Getting fatter isn't in my new year's resolution list. So i went to the RKC's gym today in the afternoon. It's been long since i last hit the gym. There were a few uncles and aunties in the gym and all the treadmills were occupied by them. So i used the fitness cycle first for about 20 minutes. After that, used the dumbbells while waiting for my turn to use the treadmill. When it was my turn to use the treadmill, i went to it and selected a climbing hill course. My legs muscles' started to pull on the 15th minute. So i had to stop on the 16th minute. I rested for a while and drove back home. Overall, i spent about an hour in the gym and that wasn't a great achievement because those uncles and aunties that went earlier than me were still there, looking pretty good in shape on those fitness cycles and treadmills. Haha! I shall hit the gym more often until Chinese New Year so that i'll look better and fitter on my newly bought clothes. xD

Dogs hunt for Roosters?

Well, i got up from my bed at 10.30am today and went downstairs. Yeah, i know i woke up quite late. xD I helped my sister who is in Form 4 now and those morning session students to sleep longer. Haha!

Okay, cut the crap. Saw the title of this post? Yeah, it may sound funny but dogs do hunt for roosters! I'm not joking!

This was the conversation between me and my mum this morning:
Me : Mum, i didn't sleep well lah last night. Our neighbour's dogs kept barking in the middle
of the night.
Mum: Oh? You slept until 10.30am still complaining ah? Oh ya! Talking about the dogs
reminded me of the incident that happened this morning while i was cleaning up the
kitchen.
Me : What incident? (still rubbing my eyes)
Mum: Our neighbour's dogs killed a rooster and ate it up!
Me : My goodness! Dogs ate a rooster?
Mum: Yeah, kampung rooster somemore.
Me : Hmm, cant blame the dogs lah. I guess they were too hungry.
Mum: True, he(my neighbour) has gone outstation for about a week already and there are no
food for all these dogs.

Our conversation ended and i went to take my shower. Can you imagine how hungry these dogs were? By the way, all these dogs were actually stray dogs and my neighbour takes them as his pets. He keeps all of them behind his house. It's not the kitchen, it's outside the house. He seldom feeds them. These dogs don't even have a proper shelter. Sometimes, he tied them up and sometimes he let them go freely to 'hunt' for their own food.

He usually ties them up at night. So when it rains at night and they are all tied up, they'll start to bark because they don't have a proper shelter to keep them from getting wet. This really disturbs the sleep of the neighbourhood here. Well, i must not blame the dogs but the owner. I hope he does something about it or he might get summoned by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Selangor(SPCA).

Dush!

Dribbling, running, taking my steps and one, two, jump...... DUSH! Arghh...!
(that was how i fell during my basketball session with my friends this morning-it was like cicak man posing on the floor)

I got up with a cut on my left shoulder and the whole part of it turned blue black. Ohh, the feeling was terrible. Can you imagine a
85kg+187cm guy fell down and the only part that supported his whole body was his left shoulder? My goodness! Haha! I wasn't that clumsy okay, the court was so wet and slippery. xD The worst part was when i applied counter pain cream on my shoulder without realising that there was a cut there! Ouch!

And not to forget Soon Teck's elbow that made another part of my body turned blue black. Hey guys, it's not the part that you're thinking, it's my eyes. Haha!

After our basketball session, we bathed and headed straight to Aeon Bukit Tinggi. Had our lunch there in McD and watched Yes Man. The show was nice and funny. I think i laughed the most and the loudest in the cinema! =D


After movie, we walked around and Soon Teck went to APT for his hair cut. After his hair cut, we headed back home. Overall, it was a nice day for me and of course my friends too. =)
