Some Kind of Fruit

About a week ago, dad's friend came back from Vietnam and bought us some kind of snack. Its like dried up or deep fried fruits. No idea but it tastes not too bad...

I was eating it and trying to figure out what fruits are in there at the same time. There were obviously bananas, nangka and pineapples. But then there were these long potato-like thingy. So I decided to read behind the package to see what is it.

What I saw shocked me...

So till today, I have no idea what the other fruits are. Tastes normal. Ate it anyway...

Went for a haircut today. Yes, again. Venturing different kind of hairstyles and all of them seem to be getting shorter and shorter each time.

So there you go! I wanted it short all the way for one side but then for TV purposes, I decided not to. I like it! Shall keep this hairstyle from now on... :)

A New Year

Now that Christmas is over, the New Year seems to be approaching fast. 4 more days and it will be the year 2012.

So let's see what happened in 2011!

1. Final year studying
You know, it seems like only yesterday I where everyone was being new in class and making new friends. The class that was so quiet we can hear ants walking. After 4 years, some graduated, some still studying but all in all, we made great friends and had great memories.

2. Getting wasted
The only way to celebrate your 21st. Getting wasted. It was my first total blackout of the night. I actually did learn a lesson because of the god awful hangover I had the very next day. I was STILL puking the whole of the next day even when there is nothing more to puke out. Twenty-one, a birthday I will always remember.

3. Wedding
This will always be the year that my sister got married! November 26. Remember that. Its the first wedding ceremony of the family. Was a busy day and some things did not go as plan but we had a blast and welcomed Colin to the family.

4. Island Retreat
Going to Perhentian was an awesome experience. White sand and crystal clear waters. I would love to go back there someday.

5. Getting robbed
I'm not even going to talk about it. It'll just get me pissed off.

6. Twenty-ones
Its is the year where most of our friends turn 21! Of course, my mission was to get the birthday girl wasted. Most of them were success stories. I bet it is a birthday that they will never forget. Wait a minute, they don't even remember it to begin with. I guess I will have great stories for my future grand kids.  "You know? When Grandma was at your age, I use to get everyone drunk for their 21st birthday."
I guess those the the significant events which happened in the year 2011. I'm going to miss the year. We had so much fun!

The year 2012. The year where I'll most probably start working. The year where I'll be in a reality show. Since 21 is now over, its time to start thinking about what to do for 22! More partying!

And since New Years is around the corner, here are some resolutions I will TRY to keep.

1. Swear less. My friends laughed at me when I told them this.
2. Drink less. They laughed ever harder for this
3. Drive more. Getting a car soon, hopefully.
4. Love my job. Well, TRY...
5. More concerts!

That's all I can think about at the moment. Its going to be a fun year next year. Make more friends, do more shit.

Stuffed

The night before Christmas. It is also a birthday of a friend. You know who you are! Being all girls, it was decided that we are to have a sleepover and get wasted.

Mission failed. The fact that we were all girls made it like a therapy session. It was nevertheless fun! Had a session of Ring of Fire. I being the extremely unlucky end up screwing up myself by setting the rule that Jia Huey has to drink when everyone else drinks and I forgot that she "dated" me. Fucking drinking like a fish.

PLUS, I keep getting the card that makes me drink AND I don't get the one that allows the toilet break. My bladder was like it was going to burst. Now, that's an interesting scenario.

Learnt that we shouldn't eat Chili Pan Mee for lunch when you're going to be drinking that night. Doesn't really sit well.

Woke up today, went for Christmas lunch at my sister's place. The long awaited Turkey has come. Damn, I ate so much that it actually hurts to move. Instead of the provided gravy, I was eating Turkey with curry. Typical Malaysian. We mix everything together.

That, my dear friends, was breakfast, lunch and dinner in one meal.

That, ladies and gentleman, is Christmas.

Merry Christmas!! :)

Santa vs Jesus

The day where Santa is more famous than Jesus even though it is Jesus' birthday. The ONLY day in the year where I can get some Turkey in my belly.

Today, I was being bored. Nothing new. At home and finally got sick of watching shows. So I decided to record something. I'm not the best singer but I believe that I don't sound that bad. Curiosity. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who records your own singing right? Its fun but weird to listen to yourself singing...

Anyways, one of my favourite Christmas songs. Why? Because it is one of the happy ones. Silent Night is depressing. We Wish You A Merry Christmas is overrated. I like Jingle Bell Rock because its happy! And jolly! Makes you get into that Christmas spirit!

Since I have do not own those special software which you can edit and add instruments, I had to record it acapella. Yea, I know. Only good singers should record acapella.

BUT its the thought that counts. I did this for my lovely friends as well as everyone out there who's feeling nasty during Christmas, chin up!

Have an awesome Christmas!

TV?

Could hardly believe it when I got the SMS from an unknown number telling me that I was selected as one of the top 8 candidates for 8TV's The Job.

There were some mixed feelings. I was happy, obviously since I was made it through, but then there is also fear. Damn, what if I do something extremely dumb?

Also there is the drama crap in reality shows. Hopefully I don't get involve in them.

So I guess tomorrow I'll have to go over to Sunway and enquire on whether the sponsorship will still be available if I do it in the July intake. If not, honestly, I don't mind since I'll just get the external auditor job and its about the same.

That is if I don't win. I highly doubt that I will be the best among the best. I'm just going for the exposure and experiences that I will gather through all of those challenges. Perhaps meet new people, get some networking going on.

This is going to be really interesting no? Always wanted some kinda adventure in life. Well, looks like I'm getting it~! 

Why are there so many choices??

Ok. So yesterday I went for an interview for a reality show. Think The Apprentice I know what you're thinking. You think I'm mad BUT the prizes is pretty awesome! The winner gets a post-graduate scholarship, 12-month contract with Segi Corporate as well as RM15000 cash. I mean why not right? So, I went for it...

Then today I went for a briefing. KPMG is offering a sponsorship programme for Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). All paid for and I get a job with KPMG. The thing is that I will have to work AND study at the same time. Which means that I will be having no life at all for the next one year.

I actually prefer the CIA thingy because I don't really want the post-graduate scholarship. I don't really want to do a Masters and I doubt the Segi scholarship will sponsor me to do CIA at Sunway.

Then again, I would love to go through all the challenges line up for the final 8 contestants. It is a REALLY good opportunity as they get to try out many things such as marketing, branding, etc.

So, I guess it all boils down to whether or not I get chosen as one of the 8 finalist for The Job. If I do then I guess I'll start the KPMG scheme in July (assuming that I didn't win the prize). If I do win, which I highly doubt it, then its even a greater dilemma in which I will think about only later...

If I don't get into the final 8, then I will take up the KPMG scheme in January. Even so, there will be the dilemma of the ACCA results which will be out in February. If I pass the paper, then YAY! If (touchwood) it is the other way around, then I will have to deal with work, CIA AND also the resit of P7.

Will I be able to handle that? It is a lot but then CIA there is only 2, 100 multiple choice question based paper.

In the end I'm still stuck. This isn't even a crossroad man. Its like a roundabout with a million exits. Praying that KPMG scheme is available in July, praying that I get The Job but not win and if I do win, praying that they'll sponsor me for CIA and not masters, praying that I will pass my ACCA paper. 

Home entertainment

Nothing like a day where all you do is stay home, have some Chipsmore (with milk, bitches!) and watching Friends all day long.

Lifeless but nevertheless entertained... :)
