First Job?

Filed Under happy, me | 10 Comments

“So this is your first job?” my new colleague asked me as I was walking to the LRT station with him.

“My fourth job!”
I exclaimed.

“You look like fresh graduates to me. How old are you?!”
he asked.

Wah… I am very happy to hear that, coming from a stranger (or nearly a stranger, just got to know each other few days). Practically floating on the air~


As we grow older, I guess we just want to be or look younger. But when we are young, we want to grow older and to be in control. Right? :)

I’ve been busy lately. There is just so many things to do. In my head, there are many stuffs that I want to blog about but the material just trapped in my head as there are higher priorities of stuffs to do. It is rather frustrating.

Now, I finally have time to sit down and write a little.

First, yeah, my previous post was about the application for United State’s Visa. I finally met up with my new colleagues (and they look quite nice) and 3 of us went to the embassy to apply for the visa. Both of them got on the first day and it was nerve-wrecking to be the one without it! :(  

The Indian officer was really horrible!
What a mean guy!  
Why did he have to pick on me?!?
 

I went through another sleepless night and for the whole day; my head was filled with visa-anxiety, even when I was doing yoga! But hey, thank God I managed to pull through the next day!

Hooorrayyy!!! I GOT MY VISA!!! :D
But..
 
BUT..
 
Another things to worry now is getting the flight tickets as CG said it is running out. *
sigh*
We don’t have much time actually as we wanna be back to Malaysia by Chinese New Year which is another 5 weeks!

Anyway, I actually wanna write about my last day in my current.. uhmm.. previous company. I woke up on Friday and I really wondered what got in my mind when I tendered my resignation letter to my manager! Till now, I didn’t have the urge to leave the company; in fact I really start to wonder if my decision has been a correct one and if I would regret at the end of the day.

Whenever my friend asked me why did I wanna leave my company, I felt like I am being defensive and giving reasons that sounds more like convincing myself than just answering them. Which leads me doubt my decision even more. 

Anyway, on the last day at work, as my day was extensively brightened by the visa approval, I felt jovial throughout the day. I didn’t even feel like I was leaving the company! I thought I would reduce to tears but perhaps I didn’t feel it as I was going to farewell dinner with my best-friends-colleagues. The gloomy feeling I was expecting didn’t creep in.

Which feels even odd! I am supposed to feel sad as I hate to leave.

I need a closure. 

I cannot imagine I won’t be going to the nice pantry and make my coffee every morning.

Saying good morning to the kakak (
cleaner) who like to tease me.

Or seeing my whole lots of colleagues daily, looking forward to see some but cringing when I meet the others. Having whole lots of friends, like in school.

Or making the toilet trip with SS.
 

And missing my Belly Dancing and Yoga class.  

And shopping during lunch and after work. Knowing that I can get anything at work.. even bank or post office.

And I shall miss them dearly.

My colleague and I were just in the mood of exploring cosmetic last week. Both of us hardly makeup to work or even to casual outing so we don’t have much ideas about makeup!

She wanted to find a nude color lipstick that makes her lip pale but it was tough to find one that really gave that natural nude shade after applying as her natural lip color was rather pinkish.

We headed off to Estee Lauder in Isetan during lunch time after a quick lunch at the food court. The promoter put on the lipstick for her with gloss and she even tried the black eye shadow for smoky eyes effect. Finally she chose a piece of nude lipstick and I was happy for her.

We thought that’s all she was getting and before we knew it, it was more than an hour after lunch time and we purchased more items that we were seeking for!

Both of us purchased the makeup set of “Good As Gold” that consists of a palette of eye shadows, lipstick, duo blusher, eyeliner, lipliner and a dinner bag (that worth RM460 but only at RM148 if we purchased above RM150, which of course we did!).

 

On top of that I also bought a Brush-on Illuminator that cost RM100, which suppose to cover my dark circles but somehow I felt that my Maybelline liquid foundation does a better job! >_<                                                    

Anyway, splurging really does make me happy, just at a higher cost. Though, I still think it is rather a worthy set and if the illuminator is really effective, then it should worth it as well.

 And I have a long way to learn the art of makeup to make myself prettier~ ^.^

Well, Angie and Wuching suggested me to cut it and Min suggested perming or cutting it too! But hey, I always have long hair, except when I was little and when I was in my first year of university where I cut it short (which means above my shoulder) but hey, I really love having long hair! So, cutting is not an option at this moment..

I’ve thought about perming too as it is such a trend now with so many of my colleagues perming their hair, either big locks and curls or simply Maggie-mee style! :D Knowing myself well, I am a lazy person who does not like to spend much time on maintenance. Yeah, better spend more time on the bed in the morning.. :P

So, I did again! Rebonding for the forth time! This time, I made use of the Mystyle sms voucher at Sense Studio, Uptown. The rebonding cost RM400 (so very expensive!!!) for my long hair and RM45 for trim (I felt cheated coz normally it is free when you do rebonding) and Keeyit permed her hair again as she wanted to make it more curly (and she has much more to complain)!

So, after the 50% discount with the sms, the total damage is only RM225 (even though more expensive that the one I did at Sungai Wang last year at RM190). But then again, that was just a small salon, not like this classy salon.

After 3 hours, my hair is
super straight and flat! Initially I felt that my fringe look kinda funny as it was too flat and short. But now it is rather okay but hair is still quite straight. Thinking of washing it off on Monday night, rather than waiting for 3 days. I do not need super-straight hair, just as long as it is not fluffy or frizzy..

*happy* :D

I’ve decided. That I really, really do like. Working afternoon shift! Yeah! I get the best time of the day for myself. That is in the morning of course! Doesn’t matter what time I wake up, like on Monday, I got up at 8.30am.

I like to have time for myself. No matter if I have to do duty and clean the floors or wipe my room. Or perhaps having a coffee alone and a slice of cake from yesterday party. Or simply surf the net, lay down on the bed knowing that everybody is at work except for me. Or going to de dentist. I simply like it. I like morning for myself. Period.

Or perhaps it is new to me. I always like new thing. I am easily bored with routines. I am not even feeling very tired when I work at night. Just only teensy bits of laziness when I got in the office at 1pm. Perhaps it was lunch, maybe the fast food lunch. Burger. Makes ur sugar goes up and those fried food. So unhealthy. But aren’t sinful foods is the tempting ones?

And I like to stay up at nights, without worry if I could wake up early the next day. If I couldn’t fall asleep and tossed and turned on the bed, I wouldn’t feel so worry. Yeah. That’s really good. But I know.

I only have 3 days. Sigh.  

3 days to be cherished.

I just had it for dinner just now~ *burp* 

Ends on this Thursday, 13th Sept~
