Dad

As a person who always exchanges our hard saved coins with notes that seems so big and huge to us when we were physically smaller

As a person who somehow does the half crooked, half normal cheeky smile when we crack a joke or pull his leg

As a person who never fails to provide for the family

As a person who spoils us, like how my attempt to help in gardening was put to a halt merely half an hour after i started just because : meen, the sun is getting too hot for you. but he stayed on and went on with gardening

As a person whom every little girl looks up to as her hero.

Happy father’s day

And. also. looking forward to collect the job offer letter.

Unemployed and Money

Taking a break as the transition between studying and working. Going for interviews as and when companies do call me up. The highlight of  these days are when i get to help out with preparation of teaching materials in the kindergarten in church. =) Its fun, not to mention the materials and toys are just so cute!

On a not so pleasant side, I’ve learnt that the society has majority of its shareholders, which includes the working world and all involved, is not a naive place to live in. No more behaving like things will be alright as long as i do my part. it takes more than that to be able to stay above the pack. Characters and words, can be painted in an extremely nice manner till it takes utmost discernment to filter what should be taken in and what to leave behind to be chuckled about.

As life leads to a different path, there are a lot more to learn. Incidents heard as stories or warnings are stuff that i get to see in real life in the working world.

But i thank god, for the moment, i take refuge in helping out in the kindergarten, to ease the transition period, and also to help me adapt from studying to working a 9 to 5 job in future.

Still am writing in to companies that i take interest in, and also, looking out for part time jobs of interest =) besides that, all is well.

chill out.

Hiatus

Away for times. but not without new photos and updates =)

Job fair organized by MOHE in PWTC was good. Added the company of friends. We girls, me, janice, sherine and sheena tried out henna. the indian hand accessory drawn for the bride on weddings. there was an entrepreneurial fair going on concurrently on first floor right above the job fair.

With wet henna. The creative part of the deal is the smart innovation of ready cut pattern on a piece of plastic. All the stall vendor had to do was to rub a layer of wet henna on our palms, make sure its even spread out, and pull away the piece of pattern plastic. The pattern forms immediately.

Leave it on for 20 minutes, it hardens by itself. After that, there is the option of washing it off with water or, peel it off with itchy fingers, which most of us chose to do so. =)

Job fair outing turned friends fun outing. =) Applied into a few companies. Still am waiting for replies. hopefully they will be positive.

so i have been away for sometime.

life has been good after shifting back. =)

attempting to rearrange my room, unpack what i brought back. but procrastination is taking its toll.

been sick. viral spreading in the house. started with mommy, to kern, and now to me.

interviews has been good. =) still am waiting for good news.

had 2 buffet lunches with 6 good tea breaks in between all within the span of 3 days. piling up on the extra fats that i have been trying so hard to lose. but then again, life is short, just eat la. =P

suppose to be in church helping out with the kindergarten today but due to the flu, im at home, resting supposing-ly.

was diagnose with lumbar scoliosis. first opinion says that its not serious enough to entail a corrective surgery. but am seeking second opinion. all is well. dont worry =) i can still walk and dance and swim.
