Plans for 2019

Hey guys! So I'll be turning 21 this year. Well for one, that has been long awaited but I don't really know how I feel about it yet. I started my year off pretty well with the right people in my life.

So far, my travel plans for this year is to go to Bali, Indonesia in July (again), Greece in August (this is a big one!) and Langkawi for my 21st birthday in October! The most exciting one would be Greece as it would be my first time travelling so far (the furthest) and with the best company I could ever ask for, my Pokok Gang! As for my birthday, I was thinking about getting an AirBnB villa and since we're in Langkawi, it isn't a real trip unless alcohol is involved.. YAS! I predict that by the end of October, everyone would pretty much be tired of 2019 and would most definitely want to drink their problems away. So that's exactly what we're going to do. Anyways, I'm the last of the gang to turn 21 so I can patiently watch all my friends be legal first.

Career wise, I'm pretty proud of myself for coming this far. Last year, it felt as though I hit rock-bottom in terms of my job (I lost it) and also my personal life, but let's not get into too much detail with that. I'm really grateful that I got to secure myself a new job, job #2 during the first week of Dec 2018 and I started working mid December. I hope that this new year brings me more opportunities for my personal growth in both my skills and talents.

In terms of health, I've been drinking a lot of water! Well at least more than usual. I also downloaded this app called Daily Water on my phone to remind me to drink water every 1-2 hours. So far I've been doing pretty well. I'm planning to cook more next semester, I've got a few people willing to guide me and teach me so I'm in good hands. And I'm also planning to get back to the gym. Of course I'd have to have a look at next semester's timetable first.

I can't wait to get my Diploma over and done with. Coming here was a blessing in disguise but I'm also getting tired of it. My university isn't the most structured in my opinion but hey, anything for a free education, right? Don't worry, one good thing that I got from this whole experience in Selangor is that I got both my jobs here and that getting out of my island really broadened my perspective and I now see that there is more to life. I noticed that people who have yet to explore out of our island are often stuck in their own bubble.

That's all for now!

I'm Hired!

12 December 2018, Wednesday

Hey guys, my life has been going downhill since I found out that I'll be stopping one of my jobs a month ago. I've been applying for jobs and crossing my fingers a whole lot. Yesterday, although it was pretty much the worst day of 2018, it turned out pretty great in the end. I guess we need to go through some shit before good things come our way? I don't know.

I'm so excited to begin this new journey of my life and to learn new things in a new environment. Oh, I still get to work from home which I'm really grateful for cause I'm back with two jobs again. Yup, I'm back in the game!

It amazes me on how I managed to find myself a job that fits my capabilities in a month's notice. The uncertainty of being unemployed was really nerve wrecking. Imagine having bills to pay for and a big trip coming up while being temporarily unemployed for 2 weeks not knowing if I'd have enough.

Well, everything happens for a reason and I guess I needed a change in life. My PR job was pretty stressful and I was expected to work like a full-timer with the student schedule I currently have. So this new change in environment, even though uncalled for, turned out to be a really good incident. I'm excited for what's to come my way.

That's all for today, I'll have to accept the offer by tomorrow and prepare some documents.

Worst Day of 2018

11 December 2018, Tuesday

Today is by far the most inconvenient day of 2018. So my morning started at 7am. My day was perfectly planned out and it was supposed to look a little something like this :-

7.00 am - Wake up & get ready

8.00 am - Leave house to uni

8.30 am - First class, MM210 Web Applications

11.30 am - Class ends, leave to The Gardens for job interview

1.00 pm - Interview starts

2.00 pm - Interview Ends, drive back to uni

3.30 pm - Last class, MM103 Creative Thinking

5.30 pm - Class ends, go home

Now, how my shitty day turned out :-

7.00 am - Wake up & get ready

8.00 am - Leave house to uni

8.30 am - Got to uni and the classes in the new campus weren't ready, my lecturer pissed me off, she cancelled class and postponed it to 12pm and later on proceeded to cancel the 12pm class as well.

9.00 am - Drove home and contemplated on what time to leave to The Gardens for my interview.

10.30 am - Walked down to my car and discovered that one of the tyres was flat.

10.45 am - Got to the petrol station and called my godpa to help me change the tyre.

11.15 am - Started driving with the spare tyre to The Gardens.

12.00 pm - Arrived at The Gardens and looked for parking.

*This was the peak of my terrible day. Every single floor of The Gardens was FULL and I drove around for an hour before I decided to ask someone who just parked if I could double park their car. When I was about to, the person next to his car was coming out so I FINALLY got a spot. By then, it was already 1.05pm. My interview was supposed to start at 1pm.

1.15 pm - Got to the office for my interview. The manager had some technical difficulties with setting up the Skype call so I had to whip out my laptop and call the boss in Sydney myself.

1.20 pm - Interview started and everything went pretty smoothly.

2.20 pm - Done with interview and I had to meet up with my Uncle to go settle my tyre.

2.25 pm - Realised that I left my parking ticket in the car. Had to go to my car, take the parking ticket, pay for it and walk back to the car. MAFAN

3.00 pm - Took a wrong turn and ended up reaching 10minutes later than I was supposed to but it's okay. Picked my uncle up. 2 of the shops he intended to go to was closed as it is a public holiday. He took over the wheel and drove to another tyre shop.

3.30 pm - Got to the tyre shop and discovered that my tyre broke. Had to pay RM120 for a brand new tyre.

3.45 pm - Had lunch at a mamak.

4.15 pm - Left Sunway.

5.00 pm - Reached home, walked out of the carpark, realised that idk where I put my house keys, had to walk back to my car, found my house keys in my bag and got up to my unit.

5.30 pm - Realised that there's a small hairline crack on my tempered glass :)

*Oh and I didn't manage to go to class because I was already late but my lecturer was really nice and understanding so he postponed my debate to next week.

MALEH my day has been so frustrating. 100 things decided to test my patience today. I'm so tired and the day is hardly over yet. A friend offered to grab food to my house to make me feel better. I kinda want some ice cream.

Oh well, that's all for now, I guess. I'm just BEYOND tired.

**UPDATE**

I GOT THE JOB!
