Canada Day

Filed under: Life

Went to Canada Day’s parade, basically celebrating the national day thingy. Maybe it’s a so-so city, so the parade isn’t that interesting. Compare with the "游神" in Kuching, they have so much to improve!! I had taken some photos so…enjoy~

Hi~

Filed under: Gossips, Blank

Feel like posting something on my blog. Hmm…what should I talk about…?

-Oh yea, I decided not to take any summer course for the 2nd semester because I feel like I am not going to cope with the lectures since it’s a mathematical course. And whoever knows me, know me suck in calculation and numbers! So, I am going to have a good rest for the rest of my holiday.

-Today is my second day of working…yea, I know WTF?! It’s been 3 weeks and I only worked TWICE?! That’s unbelievable right?! I don’t know how to explain it here but I am sure my days of working will triple soon.

-The temperature not as high anymore you know?! So, I am getting the air-conditioner for nothing! It’s so useless because it’s not hot at all! Gosh, I wish it goes as high as 40 degree Celsius so I get to enjoy while others are suffering…hahhahaha*evil laughing*

-And I don’t think I can ever keep my room neat and tidy! Is this a curse or what? It’s the best room I ever had in my life but still it’s so messy as hell! Should I blame this on the Korean? Because he always leaves the garbage inside my room after done eating his snacks! My bad too at the same time because me always leave the bowl and cup and let it dried up…eww…OMG…when can I change this destiny?

-Lastly, RIP to Michael Jackson. I used to listen to his songs a lot since my sisters used to be one of his biggest fans. I think his contributions will always be remembered. However, sometimes it’s a good thing since this world is all about sufferings.

Hangout with Amy

Filed under: Life

 First time seeing Amy, my ex-housemate, in Toronto! We blabbered so much as soon as we met each other in the mall. She still the same old funny her even after not seeing her for almost a year. So, there is no disappointment at all instead we valued the time we spent together so much!

Talked to family just now and hope I can be with them so much right now. My eldest sister might come to visit me during the winter time with both of my parents. Gosh…I wish she manage to keep her promise because I want to show them how boring my life in Canada could be…LOL.

Anyways, I hope I am in Malaysia right now to celebrate Father’s Day together with them. Miss them so much…sob sob

Lastly, Happy Father’s Day to all the daddies!

Eww…working…

Filed under: Uncategorized, Blank

It’s been a long time since I last complained about how my life sucks. And if you are wondering why, I would say, it’s because I finally started working today. I totally hate working and sure that everyone else has the same thought as me. Whoever likes working must be a freak or what or he or she has the most wonderful job in the world for example…shit, I can’t think of any…

Even though it’s not a tough job but memorizing the menu can be one of the most awful things to do! Looking at the listings on the menu will definitely followed by dizziness and later on insanity.

And also, I am one of those people who are always lazy to socialize with people. So hard for me to greet someone in a SUPER friendly way! For your information, the restaurant I am working with right now is especially famous for their way of greeting the customers, which is a BIG and LOUD "Hello!". I wish I can be more friendly because a waitress should be able to do this at least.

The worst thing is their EXTREMELY LONG training period. The newly hired waiter or waitress has to be trained at least 3 months before they get to collect the tips. However, it depends on the performances of the person. They will have a so-called examination before you get to be approved and promoted as the official worker. Sounds professional right?? 

Anyways, those are plainly my nonsense complaints. It’s undeniable that they serve the BEST sushi in town!

Just A Quick Update

Filed under: Life

Even though I have not much interesting stuff to blog about, but a lot of things did happened lately.

1. My brother just got the offer letter from JPA few days ago and the letter says he is going to study in the States for 3 years. But before that, he has to do American Degree Transfer Program for 2 years in Taylor’s University College. Yea, the same one with me only different program. He is so lucky for getting the chance to study in Taylor’s as it’s one of the top schools in Malaysia and everyone is craving just to go there! And it’s a good thing that he is not coming to Canada because I get to to the States and shop there using my borther’s allowance…muahhahaha~

2. Mr. McNamara had passed away 2 days ago and OMG it’s a real shock to me! It’s only been few months since our last gathering at his house in Bolton and now he is no longer with us. Therefore, appreciate people around you before it’s too late. I will try my best to spend time with my Mama and Papa as soon as I graduated from university.

Rest in peace, Mc Mc….

3. After failing to get a job last time, I finally hired by another sushi restaurant in town. The basis pay not as high compare with the last one but after adding up the tips from the customers, it’s quite an amount for a waitress position. However, I have to get through one month of training before I get to collect tips from customers! That’s a total rip off! And it’s certainly unfair! Gosh…

New(first) Camera~

Filed under: Uncategorized

After longing for a longX10 period of time, I decided to get myself a camera! This is one of my wishes which are so hard to be realized because of some reasons, financially mainly.

So, what did I get for myself? It’s Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 in red.

 

The reviews I read online say that the photo quality isn’t that good and can be crappy sometimes if it’s taken under low light condition. Besides that, this model was out last year so maybe it will be lousier compare with the latest models. And the ratings rated by the user are only 3 out of 5…

But this worth for the price I paid. I got it at $159.99cad or about RM480 if you are interested to know. Sadly, I have to get the memory card myself because it’s not coming with the camera. So, I paid another $24.00cad just for the memory card. So, in total, it’s more than the original price.

But heh, I am not done yet. To shop in Canada or in the province of Ontario, you have to pay for their fcking taxes!! Therefore, it turned out me paying $200cad instead of $159.99cad which is approximately RM 600. Sigh, if you think can get cheap stuff in Canada, think about it twice…

I don’t know whether it’s good choice or not because I never do any online research before I get it. And I am real noob in choosing or using high-tech stuff. Please don’t criticize my purchase as I really have no idea what is the best and what is the worst. I guess I have to go along with this camera for quite awhile before my next purchase.

p/s: Can’t upload any photo yet because my internet not being installed yet…duh. The line I am stealing right now is too slow for me to do that…sigh

Wah…so random.

Filed under: Uncategorized

This post is all about random stuffs. 

I started learning Korean, even though it’s only been few days. But, I find it very interesting and I am having so much fun compare with reading stupid business articles and even writing it.

And recently, the weather is like OMG. I even sweat while sleeping at night. I wonder when can I get my air-conditioner? Lucky me, I am going to get it free from my friend. So, starting from now on..I will do everything in my room including eating…lol

Summer coming and you know what happens? It’s still so bright even though it’s like 9pm which is quite amusing for me as sky darkens around 6pm in Malaysia.

I guess..thats it. I wish I have something more interesting to blog about. Hehe…actually, I am the one who are always lazy to go outside. I rather to stay in room instead of burning myself under the sun.
