The month of May sounds sweet, yet I think that it’s full of all flavours actually. Expect this entry is going to be long, winding stories because inside my head, already cramped up alot of stuffs which might just worth the sharing for you to know the things that are going on with me all this time long…
Recalling back early May, I finally managed to go back home in Ipoh on the first week after overworked during April. Can say every moment I went back home is priceless. Forget if there’s certain occassions or any outing plans, just to be back there really feels great. I supposed that’s how you define "home" really is. As time goes, I felt that I really appreciate my family even more nowadays compared to my young and dangerous (stupid actually :P) days. To others it might be normal, but for me personally, this is the real thing that I do not want to miss. Highlight at home, my sis bought a new laptop. Sounds so tempting, I wish I can get one too
My return to Ipoh also discovered some updates from my buddies. Looking back at my previous classmates, I noticed quite a number of them are now working based in Ipoh, then quite a number in KL and a portion in Singapore. Looking up here in Penang, left me and 2 more guys (SoonTat, Kong) wandering here the life in the island. Be honest, I actually thought of switching environment for the past 1 year (almost jumped to Dell last year), no specific area as long as there’s opportunity (although everyone is luring me to KL). But all this while, there’s this work commitment that continues to keep me around as I believe there are still things that I can do before I move on. Question, how long can I "survive" in Intel + Intradeco?
Crossing the things bout work, recent times we’ve been experiencing lots of so-called revolution in the team itself. From Business Group Support (BGS), now turns to Standard/Specialize support (STA/SPC). It was used to be known as STD for standard team, but I think I know why they changed the name (STD = Sexual Transmitted Disease :P). But of all the changes happened around, I am still isolated in my own world. The tough part for us as contract workers is that we work for 2 different boss from 2 companies, and it’s much obvious for my side. Alone as CW in my own team against 3 other BBs, actually we all get along very well instead except during business discussions (not to forget all those daily craps that keeps us the team up in the spirit :P).
This month, there’s no "White Chocolate Maccadamia" challenge anymore (I know Vicky’s gonna screw me off when he reads this :P) but in recent times everyone is into a new toy, Rubik 3×3 (special note, Darek can solve up to 4×4, amazing achievement for losers :P). Once again, our "Santa" Larry makes the challenge to Alva to solve it in 15 minutes time (but he misunderstood and heard wrongly, Alva actually can finish it within 5 minutes). So the results were quite an easy task for her to complete it in about 4 minutes ++ and won the RM10 bet. Winner is Alva, but Larry earn my respect for keeping his words coz he either make you eat your words or he eats his own, no leftovers!
And of course, his favorite sign, the "L" LOSER~~~
(Up to here, I am just 1/2 way done actually. Go get a drink and wash your face if you need one. Now you know how much I can crap :P)
Month of May is also another farewell to some of friends also. To be specifc, there’s 2 person which is my colleague YinYi and my ex-coursemate SinYi (names similiar, but they are not related at all). YinYi’s farewell was held in SS (again!), and I am sure surprised why she want to celebrate it there in conjuction together with Michelle’s birthday celebration. So in the end, we have a large crowd also with me, YinYi, Michelle, Lucas, Alice, Darek, Ben, Julius + Sabrina, Nicole, Jack, plus some unknown friends from the hosts. While most of the night is just normal clubbing time, I noticed there’s lots of controversy too for the b’day gal
Well, still it’s a remarkable time to enjoy. Not sure where’s YinYi going to head off, but I do know her 1 year ++ working together is really worthy. Best of luck to her…
The other farewell for SinYi was much of a normal outing with lunch + movie + dinner. It was supposed to be just lunch together only (location at Ichiyo), but then she mentioned of going for movie (and I have to treat her :P) so end up we watched movie Narnia: Prince Caspian. The movie was 1 hour ahead of our time because the earlier sessions full already, so end up we have 1 hour shopping (actually turn out only SinYi bought things although she keep asking me to buy things on every shop, even buy house!!! :P) One thing that we both don’t know is, it’s a 3 hours movie! That’s how the dinner come, but equally share lo although I got think to treat her as well. Well, possibly the last time will see her in Penang, so at least she’s worth it all treats for being such a nice and cute person all the time (you will thank me for saying this le :P)
Towards end of May, suddenly I am planning to visit back my time during 80’s as I am hunting cartoons of the 80’s. Completed X-Men 4 seasons, then onto MASK and Saber Rider, all thanks to Youtube (glad that PenangFon streaming is good)!
Then while browsing Youtube, I accidently become a fan of Britain’s Got Talent show. My all time favorite as for now, is "Signature". These guys will get my vote if I am in England, their act worth to be winners. If you do not know what I am talking about, go find it out, worth your time. Come to think about my hobby, suddenly I am abit cool off with the Gundam plastic model kits as the quality of the models I wanted wasn’t that impressive. And there’s one good advice from my office colleague CheeKong, we should buy something that we can make use instead of just display. Because of his words, now I want PS2!!!
The mission to make my KL trip come true is still underway. Still picking the right time, now I noticed that I have ALOT of friends to meet in KL!!! Seriously I owe so many people a visit in KL come to think about it. The most recent additions turned out to be my ex-schoolmate, Belinda, whom I actually not so close all the while but somehoew with luck, get to chat with her only recently. Maybe because she "poke" me too much in Facebook
The thing is can I allocate that all in one shot? Have to split it for sure, but of all the list, someone must I go visit, which is my very own brother Ivan of course!!!
Possibly this is the last pin-point I wanna pause as for now. Sounds like alot of things happened in May? Actually I still missed out some stuffs, like Eugene’s b’day celebration that got called off, colleague’s big lunch/dinner plan, possible trip with colleagues, things to come in June, etc. It’s just that I can’t expect to be writing such long blog like this everytime (this blog took me 1/2 day here while chatting with everyone else and listening to nice songs). So the crap must cut off for now and I am hungry also now
Ok everyone, rest well always and don’t get sick of reading my stories while I continue boring-ing here…
