a very special moments happened lately is my graduation ceremony on Sat, 26 April 2008 at Sheraton hotel, subang. i bought a 8.5 cm high heels and practice it for one week at office :P where i all out of sudden become taller than some guys hahaha~ it was....torturing! but i figure out that to avoid leg muscle cramp i just need some exercise and it will be fine. 1st day wearing it i was expecting cramp but it was all great, and the cramp at 2dn day where i realize that at the 1st day morning i went to jogging. that helps, really :)
i had uploaded the pictures from my camera at both my friendster and facebook so check it out there :)
it was boring at beginning but fun later at night. i got to take quite a lot pics with others and i'm so happy. btw, i think that next time when my bro graduated it should be both of my parents to attend. so, they have each other to accompany themselves. bcoz from my experience i feel dad must be dammit bored have to attend this all by himself and listening to those english speeches.
it was a very tiring day. not just because of the day itself, but because the previous day i went to Singapore in a one day trip for my second interview. it was at an international scale- ID firm. It was a very rush decision, where i just decided to do it at Thursday before lunch. Dad encourage me to go for it. and so the rest of the day was used to find the transport and accommodation.
Thanks God as always, I'm always a lucky one. peoples at office was helpful and even though i didn't get flight direct to Singapore, (where i went panic actually when airasia online booking was not allowing me to proceed) i took flight to Johor and taxi from there to Singapore. no joke, it's damn tiring. (wait, let me thanks Jason for his help booking the ticket online :) and to Edy for the idea to fly to Johor and to Jing Hui and vKen-the Johorian for telling me to go to Larkin bus station at johor to take bus to Singapore.)
My interview was 1.30, so i took the morning flight. It was RM120.49 for one way. i woke up at 4, went to airport from home at 5, arriving there half awake- and cannot rest- and when i get on board, i didn't even get to close my eyes for few minutes it had already arrived at Johor. It was less-than-a hour-flight. but the waiting time was like 3 hours. arriving at Johor airport, i just took airport taxi to Singapore for RM80. i didn't alone at taxi in a stranger land obviously wont make me feel sleepy at all. the taxi driver was a nice guy and not that over talkative like others. i arrived save and sound at Rochor road and realize that it's exactly the place where buses from Larkin will stop at. Taxis from Malaysia can only stop at appointed location.
Rochor road is at Bugis area. 5-10 minutes walk bring me to Bugis junction and there i took my breakfast at Mcd (finally! i got to eat the hash brown! after so long!) i rest and prepare for the interview.
around 12 i took MRT to Newton station, upon arriving there i realize i didn't prepare the map! i prepare map to go to beach road (where i need to buy bus ticket to back KL) but i forgotten the map to the interview place =.=
Thanks God for showing me clues, i ask for direction from concierge at a hotel at that area.. even the concierge couldn't find where is it! @_@ i was a bit worried that time because at 1st i thought i can just ask people around there (like ask from ppl at the shops...restaurants...) and it turns out that Newton area is full with large large large building without small small shop lots and every building distant is quite far. Nobody to ask direction for!! {guys, the lesson is, get a detail map!} and not much road sign for me to refer to!
Finally i reach a bus stop, where i catch a taxi. the driver also not sure about the place. he said bukit timah road is a place where only postman and newspaper man knows. because the road is very long, and there's a confusing part where it stops, becoming other road, and ahead continue as bukit timah road again =.= what the hell....this kind of thing exist at sgp? hahaha....
Thanks God i catch a taxi, because it turns out that the place is at the opposite direction from where i walk... and i arrived half hour earlier. the building is a shop lot 3-4 stories without signboard!!! hahaha....
The guy who interview me is a nice one. unlike any other interview i went through before, this time is all about my portfolio. i will write it in detail at another post de :)
after interview i straightly took MRT from Newton to Lavender and walk to Golden mile complex. it's really a great exercise bcoz i had walk a mile only to realize i was totally at wrong direction. thanks to an uncle to show me the direction.
So lucky, when i reach the bus ticketing office at 3, they have bus leaving to KL at 3.30. i just grab that and the rest of the story is a about a nice sleep at the bus and a save journey till KL. Edy promise to pick me up at the station and send me home. nicee~~
Erm, it was nice until we realize that the place my bus stop at is not pudu. it's pasarakyat. somewhere..not pudu. Edy had arrive at pudu and i was waiting at pasarakyat wondering where's his car. lucky that night, even though the station was quite a secluded place and not much ppl, but all those who were waiting there are girls...hmp...i mean...somehow feel not that scary. at the end i get taxi to send me to chinatown and meet Edy there and he sent me home after dinner. (the taxi wanted me to pay RM50 to sunway!)
So that's my 1-day trip to Sgp for interview. i really hope they will hire me!!!
(oh no, gtg, goin to pyramid to buy movie ticket :)
