Assignment

I haven't started my assignment but will be doing so in bout uh... 10 minutes. It's a comparison between the curriculum in Australia and Malaysia. Have to submit it in less than 5 hours. Will I be able to make it? God knows... My last assignment was delayed 2 days due to my laziness  (and the assignment needed to be submitted on Raya Eve). Any cure for that (laziness)? :~( I hate procrastinating but I can't stop myself from doing so. Wuuu~! As a result, I've a potential of losing a grade (like in my previous semester. Maybe from High Distinction to Distinction. From Distinction to Credit. From Credit to Pass. And from getting a passing mark to a failure. Haihz... Was supposed to get a Distinction and 2 Credits and a Pass for my subjects my received all of 'em a grade lower (except the pass, it stayed there) because I sent in the assignments late. Damn! Lecturer dengki ngan saya! Haihs. (Lecturers, maaf zahir n batin...)

1st time working! Uh, no. Not yet.

25 August 2010

Woohoo! I went for a job interview. Was SUPER anxious coz I've never worked before and just the thought of being in an interview room was enough to make me have butterflies in my stomach.

Kinda looking good ey?

(Was in the lift, on the way up to the office. That explains the shakiness)

In the interview room: He just asked bout my working experience and barely looked me in the eyes when I was answering and... he was constantly biting his nails and looking at them over and over again as if he missed some dirt in between em. Urgh! If only I had the right to tell him, "Get outta this office!"

So, that's my 1st day going to the office and guess what... I was accepted. Maybe coz I was suggested by Nisya 

26 August 2010

I went for the job training. Myra, Farhad and I were supposed to be there at 9.30am but we were late 2 minutes. We're panicking at what reasons excuse to give to the manager. As we stepped inside the building, there were two other people waiting for the training to start. Sighs of relief were heaved when we realized we're not that late.

10.10am... FINALLY... The training started after the manager decided to wait for another person to come. We were like, 'What the hell...' Just because of a person, we wasted forty five minutes and that extra time could actually be used to spend more on my morning sleep! Darn u.

Before the manager started the training session, he reminded us to switch our phones to silent mode and guess what... Throughout the training, a total of nearly an hour was wasted on him constantly went in and outta the room, receiving calls, going for breaks... That really gets on my nerve. I started showing him signs of sleepiness and he often told me to wake up and I just replied with more nods and yawns. He wanted us to respect him but he didn't do the same. Wanting to be respected, you've to earn it, man! He even let the guy that came late, went outta the room several times to answer calls when he initially told us to switch our phones to silent mode or better, just switch it off.

The meeting was supposed to start at 9.30 and end at 2pm with a break of 45 minutes in between. I suggested to the manager to just finish off everything and only then we'll have our lunch (which we actually didn't have coz we're fasting) but the manager agreed and what do u think happened? It started 45 minutes late and ended an hour... (As u expected...) late! (EXCLUDING THE LUNCH BREAK he initially intended to place in between the lecture). Thank God the mosque's just nearby and we had to rush there fearing it was nearing Asar.

(And for the work itself...? I went for work a week later... Which will be continued in my next post.)

I went to my first EDUC 267 lecture and I'm proud of it. For all three subjects, I've went to one lecture each. Super cool! I hope I won't miss any lectures after this. I guess, I've missed a total of 23 lecture hours since August 2nd (This is just rough math). Since today is Malaysia's 53rd Independence Day... I've come up with this thing called "No more skipping lectures" thing. Let's see how long will I last. Yippee~!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY MALAYSIA!

Proud to be me.

It's a pleasant feeling you get when you see yourself featured on other people's blog. Let them be just the name, promoting your blog or even just photos. I feel a great sense of happiness whenever I know I've made someone smile. And greater feelings is achieved when people tell me I'm an inspiration or similar sorta things :~) Here are some blogs that has me in them. Thank you people! (Owh, there are a few that I can't mention here. Sorry.)

I miss you:

jiha

You'll always be my friend:

Thank you, friends :~)

Monday to Tuesday to Friday...

Monday

Just watch THIS CLIP and THIS ONE and enjoy the movie ;~)

(If u found me dead on my bed tomorrow night, you'll know who killed me... RUN!!!)

Tuesday

Click HERE for what I did on Tuesday with Hilmi and Chris :~)

Well, Chris didn't really focus on what we did though. So, to summarize it up, we went to the Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Tower and went for Pancakes on The Rocks. Hee. Can't wait for Jiha to be here. Wait, Jiha, before you get all excited bout this, I didn't mention bout going with you though. Cz I know, if we go out together, we'll only end up fighting and hurt each other. T_T

Enough of that.

Friday

Made friends with a nice Singaporean girl named Shameen. She's still new here, about a week maybe. Was in the shuttle when I said hi to her. The conversation ended up by me asking her out to Westfield since she mentioned that she loves Nandos a lot. She was friggin' excited bout there's a halal Nandos outlet and what's better is that it's only a few minutes away from UWS Village Parramatta. Here's a picture I took of her :)

Oh! Earlier today, I did something Ilyana Zafirah don't usually do. It's something outta the ordinary for me. Totally EXTRAORDINARY! I bought BOOKS! I mean, real books! How's that?! :D Heee. Proud of myself to even think of buying one. Wait, not one. Not two. But SEVEN! Clap clap! =D =D =D Need to call home tonight to tell dad this good news. He'll be crying his head off. Haha. Here are the books I bought :)

\

Hoho. Click on the images for better view :) Owh, these books were on sale and I just grab some and the last one, it has recipes in it, though I don't know if I've time to make any. And it's not a diet book as in to look slim or anything but the food looks nice and healthy. So, I think it means a diet for a healthy life in this case. 

Till then, see ya!

Tired of eating? Here's more :~P

Friday:

Went to eat at Nurizwah's house. A housewarming where I went to break fast. The food? Wonderful. Haven't eaten good nasi impit with kuah kacang since Farah last made hers during our housewarming :)

Saturday:

Was hibernating. That terrible thing happened made me don't wanna wake up at all...

Sunday:

More eating :) Owh, before going out with them, I've made myself a simple mushroom pasta to break my fast... During the boilation (Please don't use this word. It doesn't exist :P) of the pasta, I went to the toilet and overheard UIwi and Chris' conversation. They wanna go to Westfield for their dinner and they invited me to go and I agreed immediately although I'd something else on the stove. I just felt that I need to get some fresh air. Here's the before, during, after having my dinner.

Ate this before going out so that I don't spend much money on eating since this was done.

(Used Mozarella cz I prefer this compared to Parmesan :))

BEFORE

Camwhoring much? ;~)

DURING

(Nando's again? :P)

Ohhh~ The look is so tempting! Ordered two outta three. Guess what I got...

If only they've displayed these... I'd never think it as worth $4.40 each. Darn. There goes my money and the taste, simply not worth it. :~(

Ulwi's: Portuguese Paella - Yummy :~)

Chris' burger.

Enjoying the food. At least, I looked like I did. :~P

AFTER

We decided to walk home because it was 7pm and the bus will only come at 7.34pm. Chris was looking forward to watch the final Masterchef at 7.30pm. We arrived home bout 3 minutes before the bus came :P

Have something special for the next post :~)

Something different... ;~)

I've been fasting for the whole week now. Have a few more days to go. Hopefully there's enough time for me to replace my fasts before the Ramadhan comes. (Padah ganti puasa lambat. Padan muka! D~: )

On Monday, Syu, Noni and I went to Mac Cen together for food as Noni was fasting too. However, we were craving for three completely different flavours. Syu wanted Sushi, Noni had her thoughts on Oporto and I... I wasn't exactly sure of what to eat because I just accepted Noni's invitation to break the fast together. On the way there, I blurted out, "Masti...". Maybe because I haven't eaten Indian food for some time and Syu then had a dilemma on which to go for; Sushi or Masti. She ended up having both. :~P

Syu with her Tika Masala Grilled Chicken

Noni with her Oporto chicken and chips.

And I... with Tika Masala Grilled Lamb.

Final result: 

And today, well, yesterday (220710), I went out with Farhad and Farah to Auburn to eat at our all time favourite Thai restaurant, Thainamite. Went out at around 4.35pm. Didn't realize the time and I should've break my fast at 4.56. But I ended up eating at 5.30pm, I guess. Since I normally break fast at 1100 something at night, I don't mind that at all :~P

On the way there. Tadaaa~ The different look than I normally do in Aussie :~)

Snapping pics while waiting for the food.

Farhad's order: Pineapple Fried Rice.

Farah and I ordered a large Steam Jasmine Rice each and two other dishes to be shared.

Chicken with Hot Oyster Sauce and...

Tofu and Vegetable Tom Yum.

My favourite: Onions! :~D

Before and after: Yum Yum Yummy!

We were full... and happy... and sleepy.

Final shots...

Owh, and I would like to thank Farhad for this nice video he made of us. Gelojoh! :~) 

Breaking fast vid.

Nando's

I planned to go to the 'Underbelly Arts' festival near Broadway Street opposite of UTS which sounds a lot interesting. Kate, who is a friend I just met 2 weeks ago, invited me to join it. The event took place from 2pm till 10pm. I woke up at around 4.50pm and felt heavy headed. Went for a shower and headed to the Central Station with Chris. That's when I changed my mind. I fear that I'll get dizzier and be a burden to Chris. So, I changed my mind and told him let's just eat at Nando's, Westfield. He didn't believe at first because he could see how eager and excited I was about going to the performance. After discussing, finally we decided to just eat at Nando's.

Call me outdated but yeah, I've never eaten at Nando's before. Well, I've been there with FiZi but I don't think I can remember ordering anything because didn't feel like eating back then. So, today, well, yesterday, it's my official first time going to Nando's. Weeee~! So, let the pictures tell the story, plus the caption above them. Funny thing, Chris also has never eaten at Nando's before. Cavemen aye?

While waiting...

And later on, Chris shopped for some groceries and we headed home.
(Was relieved upon arriving home because my head's started spinning)
