I'll finally update la.
So what have I been doing this holiday. I've been working. I have a 8-5 job at ExxonMobil from Mon-Fri. Pay is ok. Everything is good. Been there about a month+ now. I dun wanna leaveeee. I'm actually enjoying work there. In the beginning I didnt like it, i didnt wanna go to work and i felt rlly out of place. that was because as a newbie, there wasnt alot of work for me to do. and the fact tht i couldnt speak malay meant i couldnt answer the phone and talk. yes, I'm in customer service. I handle applications and complaints for this card called the Discount Card which lets lorries, buses, taxis, etc. enjoy diesel subsidy. So yea.. they come here to complain or to apply la. When u cant speak malay, that is the HUGEST disadvantage EVER. But now.. i actually have work to do, I have cases to handle and im making friends with my collegues as well. There are 3 other girls arnd the same age as me that are working there as temps too. but they'll b leavin in jan while im leavin about 2wks into sept. I come in late and i leave early. haih, right when u start to adapt, u have to leave.
-the other temps-
Good news is, Ive been accepted into Westminster. Now i'm waiting for my visa approval and my accommodations approval. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let everything be ok.
So yea.. that the career side of my life.
Love side. Me and Ashwin are dating. (Yes, i'm announcing it to the whole world) Been one month+ now. Things are going great. Love love. <3
-me and ashwin-
Family side.. my brother has started ADP in Sunway. Hope things are well for him. Its only been like the first week.
***
I want to get out with friendsss. I've been out after work sometimes but rarely ppl wanna venture into KL to hangout. So usually I'm out with Lee, Ct, Ashwin gang. Havent seen SR in so longgg. Haven't seen melissa n eliza in so longggg and alot of ppl are gone too.. Nicole and Gunjan are GONE. and i MISS them!!

bad news about having a job and living with ur parents is tht my social life has disintergrated. if i was living by myself with a job, it'd b ok to stay out late into the wee hrs of the night. but with parents i hav to come bak at a "respective" time and my parents dun like me "hanging out" wif friends... and because of uni/visa stuff i have to stay home and "handle" them. hahaha excessive use of the quotation marks.
its a rlly fun yet at the same time stressing experience at work. I have received some prtty weird comments directed to me. lemme just say first tht i am NOT bragging :]
I was talkin to one of my collegues tht works with me and he told me that at first he thot i was about 20yrs old, at most 22. haha do i look old?! he said tht tho i look young, the way i carry myself and speak to ppl and handle things makes me seem older. huh??? Another collegue also thought i was about 20. heh.
On the phone with a customer, I had just told him the solution to his problem and then he starts saying how my voice is so sweet and everything and how its so hard to come across ppl with such a sweet voice. :s trying to quickly end the conversation, i asked him if he had anymore problems, he said tht he wanted to take me out to dinner or something.. nghh i just told him that i couldnt and quickly ended the convo. hahaha
Something else similar, i told the customer that i would get back to him with his problem and he told me that he will be awaiting "my sweet voice." WAT >.>
[if u havent noticed, all these ppl have been guys so far >.< OLD guys]
Other customers have noticed that my chinese isnt malaysian type at all. they said i must not be a malaysian cuz my chinese is too.. "precise." To get away from speaking malay, i sometimes say i m singaporean XD.
One of them also commented that my english sounds american. hahaha.
Oh. the most annoying things is when the customer starts getting really angry and shouting and stuff and then when you get something done for him he's like really apologetic and saying that cuz of his old age he loses his temper easily and stuff like that. haihh.. wat to do.
haha but im having fun. it helps me take my mind of university stuff and it better than staying at home for parents to nag me. i need to get out with friends more tho. miss being a kid.
