Update

My sis's Bf, Don says that my blog is boring. Hmm... yeah.. so what it's a boring blog. I DONT CARE!! :( He says that blogging is about gossiping and talking about other people so I should do that. I think that I should just write what I want to write and I want to write about ME and not other people.

Been really busy lately with work, Christmas, Boxing day and friends so din't have time to even online and update my blog. Sorry guys..

Did heaps of things this few weeks cause Iris came to visit from Dunedin. Have been bringing her around to different restaurants, cafes and of course shopping spots. She bought heaps of stuff and spent loads of money on shopping. I only shopped for Christmas and New Years cause I'm poor. :(

She flew back to Dunedin just this morning. and sorry I dint send you off to the airport Iris. I know you'll understand.

Sad...my partner's gone..

Anyways, today's my day off from work and since Iris's is gone, I'm super free. My sis's at work, my bro went back to Malaysia and my sis's bf is still sleeping cause he woke up early to send Iris to the airport. So finally I have time to update my blog..:)

Merry christmas!!!!

Merrry merry christmas to everyone!!! hope you have a good one!!

Sis's birthday celebration

My sis birthday was on 18th Dec but we celebrated it during the weekends. Went to a Malaysian restaurant in New Lynn called Rasa Sayang. Food there is pretty good. Really authentic malaysian food. I think I can say it's the best malaysian food i ate before in New Zealand.

Before going out for dinner

Crab and shark fin soup (but off course fake shark fin)

Nicest one should be the asam fish but all is really good as well

Now you see, now you dont

Awww... so loving...

After dinner we started drinking at my apartment. Started with the usual circle of death. I got 2 Ks so I added a lot of jim bean... and the winner who got the 4th K is..... PINKO!!! Congrats!!

A lot of pure Jim Bean.. Yuk...

Stupid Don and Min kept on asking me to drink

Then we played the other card game.. ermm... dunno what it's called in english.


Don added heaps of Kahlua and it tastes really bad.. Eddie had to drink that but he needed to drive so I helped him a little.

Ewww.... Look so so bad... This one tastes the worst among all cause i hate Kahlua. End up I lost 2 times and had to drink 2 bowls.

I surrender... enough for me... :(

We went to Magarita after drinking. Only the girls went cause the guys dint wanna go. It was quite fun since I was so high at that time but we dint stay for long cause I had stomach cramp. Hmmm... I think getting old.

Happy Birthday to CK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CK!!!! STAY HAPPY AND STAY PRETTY!!!

Wow... Haven't update my blog for more than one week now. Haven't been online for a long long time as well. Worked non-stop for many many days from 1 to 9 pm. BUT STILL SO BROKE!! Dont know how did I manage to do that... Haiz... :(

Anyways, everything's going good at work except for the few frustrating moments when I'm working with the few frustrating people. Trying my very best to avoid these people now, to keep myself happy at work everyday.

There was one day when I was sweeping the staff stairways and guess what, I got locked in. The supervisor gave me instructions to sweep from 21st floor to ground floor. So I did that but it came to one point that there was an exit door and I stupidly went through it and got locked on the other side.

Got trapped and lost for like almost 30 min. Wandering around, finding a door that could be open. Lucky for me there was people behind one of those locked door and they helped me to open from the other side. Whew.... so lucky.. I was sooo scared at that time.. :(

These few weeks would be pretty crazy for me I think. Iris came from Dunedin to stay for around 2 weeks at my apartment. So I have to spend as much time as possible with her. But then also have to work everyday.

And then there's Ck's and my sis's birthday. We're having a party this Saturday. Then after that would be christmas party and then new years party. Don't even know how to manage my time and don't even know if I have off days on christmas and new years.

At one point I really wanna work to earn the money but at one point I wanna be able to celebrate and have parties with my friends. Well, you can't get everything you want rite. Hmmm, lets see... I'll choose work I guess. I can enjoy later in Hong Kong if I've saved more money.

AArrggg.... just found out that my phone's cable was biten by Don's dog. And it's not working now. Wanted to post some pics from my phone. How??? Can't transfer any pics from now on. Hmmm....stupid dog. So going to beat him when he come on fri.

The santa parade that I missed

Took some pics when I was walking to work on the santa parade day. Queens st was packed with people even 1-2 hour before the parade. Everyone wanted get a nice spot.


The parade started near sky city. So these were all by the street waiting for the parade to start.









My sis took some pics when the parade started. I got to see like a small portion of it from the guest rooms up from the grand star hotel. My sis dint take much nice photos cause she said there were too many people blocking her.





My friend told me the parade was almost the same as the one last year so guess I'll be able to see the nearly same parade next year. One more year of waiting. Haiz...

Day out with no name

Last saturday my sis had to work during day time and my shift start at 4 so had to accompany Don (her bf) and his dog, no name (cause he dont have a name yet). He's a maltese.






Went for lunch at atrium.

Don with his fav chicken feet

My salmon lasagne set only costs $9.50. So cheap and it's really nice.

We were suppose to go to the pet shop where he bought the dog for a free grooming. Don made an appointment with them but the irresponsible pet shop owners went off for holiday without even telling us. So end up we made waited there for 15 min for nothing.

Waiting to be groomed

Queens st from upper queen and the big santa on withcouls

Random old man playing guitar

Since no name din't have his grooming, Don decided to bath him himselve

Weird

While I was walking down Queens St today, there's this near 30-year old lady walking towards me. Thought she was quite pretty and liked her boots a lot. So was looking at her for pretty long. She walked pass me.

After like not even one minute later, which was like around half block walk, I saw that exact same person with the same boots again opposite me. She was across the road at an intersection. I am so sure that it was the same person cause I looked at her for a long time the first time.

I thought I saw wrongly or something but when the light turn green and she walked closer towards me, it was her again. How she got in front of me again? It was so so so freaking weird. Freaked me out for like a minute. Until now still thinking how did that happen???

Down

Arrggghh.... feeling so down and moody today. My heart feels uncomfortable..

Was suppose to go to santa parade today. But have to work. Feeling uncomfortable cause I was the one who asked to work today. I know I'll regret it.

Have a work mate who's scheduled to start at 4 but cant make it to work. So I asked the supervisor if I can take her shift. Then unfortunately the supervisor ask me to come at 1 instead. Santa parade's at 2 to 3:30. Could have made it if I start at 4.

Feel like crying already. Was looking forward to it for a long time and when I heard my sis said it's this sunday I was so happy. Maybe I should have said no to my supervisor. :(

Dont know if I did the right thing. Sacrificing my santa parade for more money. Might regret and sulk over it for a long time I think.

Hope my sis can get some pics for me so at least I can have a little feeling of it.

Busy?

Poor blog.. sorry for abandoning you for so long..:(

Excuse: been busy

Just an excuse. Worked for 6 days last week but just 5 hours a day. Everyday is the same routine. But today I had one room with a blocked toilet. I think the shit was too big that it couldn't go through. Anyways, don't wanna go into too detailed. One word to describe - disgusting.

Hmm... really wanna get more hours of work but wanna have time to celebrate christmas. It's my favourite celebration of the year afterall.

All the decorations are already up. Pass by Smiths and coughleys the other day and they have really cute puppet displays and Christmas songs. I'll get a pic the next time. So so cute.

Too bad NZ don't have white Christmas. Or else it'll be perfect...

I'm so so broke. So many things to pay for but have so little hours of work. And worst thing is this week is the last week of allowances. Arrgg... how to save up enough for my holidays. :(

By the way, already booked my ticket back to Malaysia on the 11th Jan, arriving on 12th. Flying from Auckland to KL via Gold coast. Have to spend almost 12 hours at Gold Coast but luckily I have my sis to accompany me so might just go to the town.

Also booked a ticket to Hong kong on the 13th Jan till 17th. So basically just spend like one night at home in Malaysia then I'm off again.

Sad thing is, all my closest friends from hong kong are not going back this year. What bad luck. No one to bring us around. But I will be there with Derek, my bro and his friend, my sis, my cousin hui shian and her fren, and also ck and pinko. Should be able to find our way around with so many brains i guess.

Anyone who would be in Hong kong on the 13th till 17th Jan and would like to volunteer to bring us around? Pleaseee.....??

Suffering

This few day's like hell to me. Everyday worried about looking for a second job even till I dream of looking for jobs at night. woke up 6 am this morning cause I couldn't sleep. As most of you should know, I seldom have sleeping problems. I can sleep any time anywhere.

Why? Why is this happening to me?

Yesterday I had like one good news and one bad. Good news is, the Indian girl along with the china girl that I dislike so much at work got caught for watching TV in the guest room. So funny.. Come on. If you wanna do something bad, do it smartly man.

Supervisors always come and check like every one or two hour but they still can have the guts to sit down in the guest room and watch TV.

Bad news. My eyes is infected with bacteria again. This time is worst. It's in both eyes. I actually felt it last week but it wasn't bad so I left it. Until these few days it got really bad. My eyes turn really red and watery when I'm working.And there's like foreign substances coming out of my eyes. Now I can't even open my right eyes. OMG!! It's so painful!!

Went to see the doctor this morning since I could not sleep. The doctor gave me a stronger eye drops than the one I had before. BUT..... I can't wear my contacts when I'm on the drops until it's fully recover. I need my lenses to work!!

How can I work without lenses. I won't even be able to see if the rooms are already cleaned or not. Especially the toilet. We have to make sure the whole toilet do not have even one hair. But I dont think I can even see if there's hair even if it's right in front of me.

Then.... I came up with a solution. Clever me... I'm going to wear one side of my lenses and apply the drops the other till that eyes recover than I'll switch eyes. Haha... funny but I think it'll work.

Complains..complains..

Haiz.. Only have like 20 hours of work last week. Arrgghhh... I need work. Need more money!! How??

Only one week of work but I already have people that I hate so much at work. There's this Indian girl who's also a new employee like me. While we were working together today she were just mocking around and even watch TV in the hotel room.

I hate workers like that. Don't have sense of morality. And she keep on thinking she's so clever and always right. Keep on telling me what to do. Grrr.... so angry...

She was putting some milk into the hotel fridge and she put two packets. I told her that we only need to put one but she thinks she's right and won't even listen to me.

There's this other China girl who always shirk as well and always complaining that the work is hard and tiring. Come on man, we're just working for 5 hours. Even after cleaning the first room she already start complaining. Worst thing is she complains every single day. Driving me crazy...

I'm so miserable now. Every day hoping that I can at least get an interview for any of the tons of jobs I've applied.

It's all this stupid Sky city's fault. At first I thought they will at least give me like 40 hours to work so I dint apply any other jobs in case there'll be a time clash. But now all the jobs are taken. So hard to get a job now. Haiz... Think I have to start praying everyday now and hope God will answer my prayers. :)

Phantom of the opera

Best musical I've watched. Er... Actually,it's the first and only one I've watched. :) But still very very good. The stage effects was really good and love the story line. Nearly teared in the ending.

My ticket

Inside. Weren't allowed to take pics inside, got told off after taking a couple blur ones cause was dark inside.

Taken during intervals. CK bought a magnum. Me n Daren so wanted to get one too but we didn't have cash and they only except cash. CK was so lucky she got just the right change to buy one magnum.

The lovely couple

First day of work

First day of work is normally the worst day cause you'll always be lost and confused. But lucky for me, my first day was awesome. Like free money. Hahaha...

I thought yesterday was for induction, uniform fitting and making our employee badges but after doing all those our manager told us that we're going to start work. I was shocked. Cause we started all the induction and stuff at 2 and i thought we'll able to finish around 5.

End up I only finish work at 9 and after having dinner, I only got home at 10 pm. And I also spoiled my diet. I only had oat around 10 am and only got to eat at 9. My stomach was growling the whole time I was working.

There were all together 7 new employees and we paired up into twos and followed a more experienced housekeeper. They showed us all we need to do and then we had to clean a room ourselves. They said once we're used to it we'll work alone and we have to clean 16 rooms each in 8 hours. Still thinking how to do that cause me and my partner cleaned 1 room together and took nearly an hour.

Cleaning rooms are pretty tiring but after cleaning one room we had to do a 'turn down'. All we had to do is going into rooms, close the curtains and leave boxes of cookies so that once customers gets into their rooms the environment is set for them to sleep. This is the first time I heard that hotels actually do that. Lol...

And I heard that the suites in our hotel costs like $3500 per night. That is so crazy. Even if I have the money I wont spend that amount of money for one night in a high class hotel.

My badge..The badge photo look ugly cause I have my hair tied up. Make me look fat.

My working shoes

Got my shoes for $20 in No. 1 shoe warehouse. Its the nicest I can find but a little scared they don't approve this type cause its soft cloth. I think they want those that are hard but all the hard ones in the store were so ugly. I cant stand wearing ugly shoes. Just hope they don't look at my shoes.

And they have a really high tech system for employees to sign in and sign out. We have to use our fingerprint and our ID and the scanner will see if our fingerprint matches our ID. I think they do this so that employees can't ask their work mates to help them sign in. A lot people do that in those punch card systems and in those worksheet ones they can also fake their working times.

I'm scheduled to work from 4 to 9 pm from tues to fri . Really disappointed cause only got so few hours. So I went out to town today to hand out some CVs. And to my surprise, Dunkin Donuts is hiring!! Yay!! I really really really wanna work there cause the job's easy and I love Dunkin Donuts. Handed my CV in and they said they'll call me in for an interview. I so so hope I can get this job.

Over and start

Wooohooo!!! All exams over!! The sleephead finally got her nice deep sleep, without any disturbance.

Haven't been sleeping enough for the past few days cause of exams and our apartment's alarm went of in the middle of the night for 2 nights in a row. It was so so irritating cause it was ringing like for 5 minutes. Or maybe more. Well, it feels like it was ringing for 5 minutes from the moment it woke me up.

Great great news. I got the job!! Am really proud of myself cause I got it out of the so many people who went to the interview. Or probably they hired quite a few. Haha... I'm probably thinking too much. :p

Anyways, today's the first day of my job but it's just for induction, uniform fitting and badge hand out. They told me to bring black trousers, working shoes (closed toes) and lunch.

Black trousers?? Dont even know what type of trousers they want but I'm pretty sure I don't have it. The only black pants I got is my track pants and my sis have one working office trousers which I have to breath deeply to even get the buckles closed up. Arrggg... why do they have to make it so difficult for me?? Why can't they just provide since they are providing the shirt for our uniform??

And what do they mean by working shoes?? The only shoes I have that can be worn comfortably for work is...?? er..... I think my sport shoes. All I have is boots, high heels and flats. Hmmm.... still really frustrated on what I should bring.

Turned my cupboard inside out but still can't find a suitable trousers. How?? Hope they don't fire me just because I dint bring a suitable trousers and shoes. :(

Probably have to go and hand out some CVs after work later. Need to get a night job as well. Want to have at least 60 to 70 hours a week. My sis is saying that I wont be able to manage that cause housekeeping job is really tiring.

I don't care. I'm going to work till I used up every last bit of my energy. I wanna make loads of $$. Problem is, I probably can't even get a night job. :(

Started my diet plans from 2 days ago. I've surfed through the web and look at the diet methods and decided my diet meals for the holidays is:

Breakfast
Half cup of oat + half cup of water + half cup of milk. Microwave for 2 minutes (taste really bad cause its tasteless)
Yogurt- Actually supposed to eat those unsweetened, low fat yogurt but my sis insisted on buying the ones with fruits in it but it's still low fat.

Lunch
No lunch. Unless really hungry then can eat an apple or some fruits

Dinner
Have to eat dinner before 5. The earlier you eat the more fats you lose. Well, at least that's what I think. My dinner would be subway. They dint really say what I should eat for dinner, just have to eat before 5 but I guess subway is quite healthy and lesser fats so decided to get subway everyday. sub of the day's only $3.90 so will be able to save as well.

Have to also do a little exercise at night. Just for like 5 to 10 min is enough. Hope I'll be able to lose all my fats by the end of the holidays.:)

Interview

Before going to my interview today, in my mind I was thinking I'm probably the only person who's interviewed. Since they contacted me like one day after my application, so i thought probably they really need someone to fill the space but couldn't find one. But guess what...??

There were like around 15 people there and all going after one freaking house keeping position. There were 3 maori, 2 indians, 3 asians (not including me), and all others were caucasians. Oh ya, and one malay guy. What the hell man?? Dint even know so many people are looking for jobs.

The worst thing is, I went to the interview wearing jeans and boots. yeah... i thought it weren't a really prestigious position so I din't bother to dress up. arrghhh... regretting it now.

Before my interview my sis told me to wear a little formal and said 'it's an interview man. how can you wear jeans' and i said 'duh... they're hiring housekeepers'. Shouldn't have said that. Haih... and before going to the interview they told me to bring my passport for proof of my residency and as usual, being so forgetful and reckless, I forgot. I bet that must have been a minus points for me.

Hmmm.... guess I have to go print some CVs tommorow. So so so need a job asap!!

While me and my sis were super super free after most of our exams, we visited some of the popular blog sites and came across one where I thought the blogger were a little mean, giving really harsh comments.

There's this guy who just ask her if she can blog about his relationship with his gf cause his gf really like her blog and they were facing some problems. That blogger bloged about him being ridiculous and called him a moron and a fucker. FYI, moron=stupid and stupid is a mean word!! What a meanie!!

Yeah its your blog and you can blog about whatever you want. Yeah your blog should be about you instead of other people. Yeah I get it, you dont care about what other people thinks of you. But why cant you just reject him nicely. You can scold those evil people who smokes inconsideartely and managers who serving is bad but he was just being sweet and wanted to do something for his gf.

What would he feel if he reads that blog and knows the blogger is talking about him. Already after feeling so sad because of relationship problems, he have to take all those harsh comments. What if he can't take it and commit suicide?? Some people just dont have any heart. Haih....

AND I think people who says they dont give a damn about what other people thinks are people who cares the most.

Relaxing..

Finally over with the hectic life of having exams and now I can lie on my cozy bed, relaxing the day off... the fun part is i get to relax while my sis and bro are studying their asses off.. haha....:P
Actually still have one paper to go but its a restricted open book which means i get to bring in 3 double sided A4 into the exam hall.. Im planing to put all my lecture slides into this 3 piece A4.. were trying it today in the library...well, almost there.. still trying..

All my exams were... er..... ok i guess..... I think it was better than my last semester.. 'I think'.... Hope I'm right..

I have a interview tommorow at sky city hotel for the position of house keeping.. yay.. one step closer to getting a job.. but actually I was hoping I could get a waitressing job there. I applied for 4 position altogether.. 3 was for waiting positions and 1 for house keeping.. unfortunately, the house keeping department called me like one day after my application. guess they really in desperate need of housekeepers.. really can't wait to start earning some $$$... need to save for my plane ticket back and also some miscellanous. and also have to start working to lose some fats.. been putting on weight since study week before exams because of all the junks i ate while studying..

My aim for the next 2 months: Save a lot of $$$ and lose a lot of fats...

One down..

One down 3 more to go... haih.. cant wait to get over with exams.
Today's economics went alright. It was easier than i expected it to be but made one stupid stupid mistake and that question was like 10%.. Ever have that feeling that you know something's wrong but just cant tell why. well, that was my feeling. I had to draw a graph and explain it but that question was so easy that i should have gotten full marks. I looked at the graph and i thought something was wrong with it but just couldnt figure out what. After exams when i looked at my notes, I felt like killing myself. argghh....

Other than my exam, there's this other thing that made me so sad and disappointed today. So overall my day sucked.. After I got back home I went straight to bed and when I woke up it was already at night.. Half day wasted.. :(

Anyways, have to put that behind me and study hard for the next one. A little worried about the next one actually.. Commercial Law... I actually like this paper cause it's quite interesting but there's a lot cases to remember and have to write an essay type answer for the exam. My weakest catogery out of reading, listening and writing should be writing i think.. Sometimes just by figuring out how to start the essay frustrates me but once you get it moving then it'll flow on.

Alright, have to get back to my studying. Dont wanna waste any more time.. ( Actually me writing this blog is just another excuse to delay my studying... haha...)

Rihanna and Chris Brown concert- more videos

Rihanna and Chris Brown concert!

OMG!! The concert was awesome!! Rihanna was so damn sexy and Chris Brown's so cute...:P
But my whole body's aching now.. neck, back, arms and leg... Back and legs for standing too long, arms for holding the camera too long and neck for trying to see over those taller people blocking me... Haih... the disadvantage of being short.. don't get standing tickets for concerts.. get the seating ones. Got quite close to the stage though (around 5 metres i think) but couldn't see some of the times because of the tall people in front..and it was so stinking of all the people's sweat and everyone was like pushing around. There was one girl that was falling all around..either she was feeling dizzy or she drank too much and she was dragged out by this huge lady.. really helped me a lot hough cause that big lady was blocking my view..haha...But I would still say that this experience was an awesome one.. Took quite a lot pictures and videos but some are really shaky cause of the pushing. Especially ones with Chris Brown dancing...


















Chris Brown performed first for about 1 hour then there was a 30 min break and then Rihanna performed..The last part of the show was so so awesome when she sang take a bow and umbrella..especially when Chris brown appear again and sang umbrella with her.. But unfortunately I dint get a video of that last part cause my camera went out of memory.. I used pinko's camera instead but then not sure why couldn't hear the music. such a waste... but she's trying to see if there's any way to save it.. argghh....so hope she can make it right.. i so so love that part!!





More videos to come cause blogspot takes freaking long to load videos so im gonna load it in youtube and then post it here.... never done this before but pinko taught me to do it this way... if it dont work then i think i'll take like one day to load the few videos through blogspot... :( haih...
