Exciting events

My convocation will be held on 16 August 2008 at 3 pm. :) Hmm..I'll be hunting for baju kebaya/ any formal attire next month. I dunno where to get nice and reasonable ones. My friend recommended that I go buy 4 m cloth and let a tailor sew. But I prefer ready made ones, as they are more convenient. Coz I don't know what kind of cloth will end up suitable and besides, I don't know any good tailors that make nice Malay kebayas.
My another cousin in-law is expecting a bundle of joy in August (or earlier than that) too if not mistaken, and one more in October. Haha.
My cousin sister just gave birth a baby girl on 23rd June 2008. That means my aunt will be 3x grandma within 6 months.
A triple promotion for me being an 'aunt'. :p

BLOG

I find this news informative. A few years back, the term 'blog' to me is still vague. I thought it is just another www and a new internet jargon that appears along side with other new terms. But this word has become so influential nowadays. :-)

I've got my broadband

I've subscribed to Celcom broadband on Monday.
Now I can get fast internet, way faster than my dial-up dinosaur connection ;-)
Actually I thought of waiting till next month but since they have this Euro 2008 free pouch and 512 thumb drive, I just grab it. I also football fan so...
I think the 100 days 100 cars contest is useless.If a company wants to reward customers, don't come up with the strategy like the biggest spender= the winner.
I always join contests too, but one principle that I practice is that I won't join a contest if it involves spending a lot of money to collect points or buying product to collect tokens or having the highest entry to win.
And what I've won so far from these contests made me value the prizes I got because I don't spend to get those, I got it from my effort.
Anyway, I subscribed to Celcom coz it got good coverage, 5xMom oso recommend ;p and plus, I've heard many complaints from customers from the other network companies both in blogs and newspapers, so I just choose to be a blue fan la..LOL

First day

First day in office involves trying out the uniform. Next, making a badge and filling in some forms. Then, the unavoidable orientation. Haha..a MUST for all new employees, no matter in which factories, unis and schools.

Goodbye Yesterday, Hello Tomorrow!

On the last day of my job on Friday, I had a walk around the surrounding buildings other than mine. As I entered the other building, it was a different scene. Among those people who walked past me are not of familiar faces as it is a totally different department. I just smiled at them; some walking hurriedly, some talking over the phone, some waiting for the bus at the lobby and others chit-chatting as it was nearly lunch time. Wherever new places you go, you are about to meet new people. After walking about, I took a look at the cafe. At that time, it was already packed with people. Unlike the cafe in my building, it is usually deserted as colleagues here prefer to eat outside.
Before I went home, I sent an e-mail to my colleagues and drop a small gift to my supervisor who happened to be out of office on the last day. My manager is also not around. At 5.55 pm, I officially returned my badge and walked out. Bye bye! ;-p

the Smurfs

When I was little, I watched the Smurfs besides the Disney cartoons. These blue creatures are celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. The Smurf figurine is sold at Euro 10. It is available

- in the Netherlands : http://www.unicefshop.nl

- in France : http://boutique.unicef.fr and

- in Belgium: http://www.unicefshop.be

The Smurfs was popular in the 80s and early 90s, and I really like those blue creatures so much at that time. I don't remember the stories but I do know there are many Smurfs characters such as: Lazy Smurf, Handy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, Dreamy Smurf, Greedy Smurf, Homnibus and many others.
I remember having a cassette of this Smurfs songs when I was young, but I don't remember where is it now. :P
Anyway, another cartoon that I used to watch was care bears! They're cute and caring creatures too. The similarity of this cartoons is that they live in a community and each have individual powers to make a happier place to live in.

In the month of May...

Since I've completed my final papers on 21/4 and Viva on 26/4, days have passed by very quickly. I went to have a look at the broadband promo at Qbay today. Well, it will take me some time b4 i switched to the broadband.
Now I'm working in a company that has high-speed internet connection. Although I don't blog while at work, I read blogs at work. muahaha. No harm since it only takes a few minutes to read a blog post. ;)
But I will be working in another company come June. In June, I will be officially hired as a full-time graduate-employee. So maybe it's not wise for me to keep spending time reading my fav blogs but to get down to WORK! Yeah, broadband will come next month or so.
Meanwhile, my lecturer wants me to do a journal based on my fyp. I am given one-month.
Means that by end of May I must finish it! No resting for holidays it seems.
And oh bout the Masters thingy, I'll put it for future plans. Hopefully after I start work, I will have a clearer picture on what I really want to study deeper, depending on what my career will lead me into.
Writing a journal is not as easy as it seems. Suddenly it looks like it's a higher level from writing a thesis. The experts are the ones evaluating a journal. -_-"
