2 more months to 2010...

I apologize for not updating my blog. I just feel so lazy though I have lotsa things to blog about.

Don't you think time flies? I have not been updating my blog for 1 month or more. And CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Yes, I know it is only the beginning of November, but in Singapore, it feels like Christmas is tomorrow!

@Tangs. Still putting up the decos....


Now I can start taking lots of pictures because most of the decos are up. Whee! I'll take more pictures tomorrow and I will probably post it up on facebook. Blogging on a netbook not syiok le, especially if wanna put up pictures. Netbook cannot accept such big programme like Photoshop and all...

Eh, speaking about photoshop, my friend told me I can get the original photoshop programme for $99 only with student card!! *hint hint* ahem phoebe tan..........ahemmmm...

And I'm planning to get a desktop end of this month during the PC Fair here. =D But I don't know how to shop for computer...=( when i get a desktop, i need to buy table and chair too. wah, end of november sure spend way over budget. so gotta save up this month...
Room is in a mess cause I have no place to put my things. I have my own room, but 70% of the things in the room are my grandparent's. Even the clothes hang behind the door are theirs. I only got one slot to hang. Then my closet is one tidy narrow one. The big one all their clothes inside. I very kesian. What to do....wanna save money so need to stay with them. I save kao kao then I'll move out...
Ok, that's all for now. If I go on, it'll be one darn long post.

KeUgly-an

My blog seriously look ugly. I cannot tahan I wanna change it but i cannot do it now.

It's not that I dislike pink, but just that it don't match with my header and others. Totally sudah rosak dah.....=(

I will try to find time to mencantikkan my blog.
Orientation

Today is my 4th day of my orientation. Basically, my 2nd day up til today is more on a course on Customer Service called the PP10. Yeah, so we learn on the different kinds of customer we are gonna face and of course this also teaches us how to be a customer. The good and the bad. Haha! We know the tricks...nyehehehe

Photobucket

We named our group....

Photobucket

Rojak....Why rojak? That is because my group consist of all Malaysians and we always rojak-ed up our language. Hehe

my name tag written by Elaine..

during the course. That's my facilitator infront, whom we bully alot. =P

Photobucket

sweets are provided. So we won't fall asleep. Actually, this course is like the first course I attended that has so many fun activities. So basically the sweets are all eaten up during theory sessions. Haha...

Photobucket

One of the activity is to identify the different faces of these monkeys. Not easy! My group only got 11 ones right over 23 monkeys!

There are many games on team building and communication skills. And at this very moment, I am now blogging in the waiting room, waiting for my turn for the assessment test, where we need to act as a service provider and serve our customers.

One thing I love in Singapore is that they care for every citizens, especially the elderly and the ones in need. Look at the paedestrian crossing traffic light below.

Took this while walking to class. =)

And what I discovered yesterday, Singapore is pretty at night. The buildings and all. Go over to the city at night, I find it very nice. I was over in Bugis to shop with my sister and we took a bus to Holland Village for dinner with Audrey. On the bus, I realized I have never been to that part of Singapore before. Haha....

It's time to be brave to go Pink!

Pink is the colour for the month of October. Why?

I have many people asking me in the hospital, "Why are you wearing a pink ribbon?"

Do you have the same question in mind too when you see someone wearing a pink ribbon? Of course many of you will know of a Red Ribbon, which symbolizes AIDS Awareness. But what about Pink? Some people dislike Pink because it is too girly.

Well, do you know October is the Breast Cancer Awareness month? You will see many people wearing pink or have a pink ribbon on them during this month in hospitals and shopping malls. I find this month very special because it talks on Breast Cancer. That is why Pink colour is chosen, because most females like pink.

This is the month to encourage women to be breast aware - to familiarize with how your breasts look and feel at whatever your age you are. Advising on a annual medical check ups such as Mammogram, Clinical Breast Examinations and screenings are also important for early detection that can save your life. Other than that, this creates an opportunity to raise funds for charities and for further research for treatment on this deadly disease.

Breast cancer is one of the most common form of cancer affecting women in Malaysia. Many women are not aware that a small tiny lump in their breast could be cancer. Ignorance. I have seen many people suffering from breast cancer, survivors, and even have people I know who died of breast cancer. The word "Breast Cancer" can be frightening to those who have it and to their close ones. What more, the word "Chemotherapy", "Mastectomy", which they do not just need to say it, but go through it.

It is not easy to accept that you have a cancer. You will tend to do many things to ignore this "cancer" and tend to treat yourself like as if you do not have a cancer, which is dangerous and is life threatening.

I have a patient during my training days who was diagnosed with 4th stage of breast cancer. As her primary doctor sat and took her history, she was telling the doctor that she was diagnosed a year before and couldn't accept that she has breast cancer. Instead of getting medical treatment such as chemotherapy, she went to the Sing Se for Traditional Chinese treatment. The treatment was not a success, and the cancer has spread to the other breast too. It was a little too late as she is in the last stage and chances of surviving was quite slim. Neither her breasts could be saved and further test was done to make sure the cancer cells did not spread to other organs.

We all play a role in supporting those with and without breast cancer because this is a nightmare to all of us. Those who has breast cancer will go through a 5 stages of grief - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and later Acceptance. During these stages, they need support and encouragements from close ones.

Common responses I have experienced according to the 5 stages of grief during my training days.
Denial - "Breast cancer? Impossible! I feel so healthy!"
Anger - "Why me? What have I done to deserve such sickness?"
Bargain - "God! If You are there, take this cancer away!"

Depression - "Since I have cancer, I will be dying. Maybe I should just die now."
Acceptance -"Yes, I have cancer. There is treatment and I should go for it. What do you have for me?"

I truly salute those cancer survivors who have faught so bravely and strongly to overcome the cancer. Losing one or both breast takes up courage to move on. Just like a soldier on the battle field. Fighting for their country to protect their country, while breast cancer patients fight to protect their body! They are our true inspiration whom we should look up to, because they are the only one who knows the real pain and sufferings.

So don't you think this month is very very important to reach out to every women? And men too! Men do play an important role in this awareness too. Don't be surprise guys, men too can have breast cancer. Every minute counts. Are you in to join in the month of awareness together? You see, by just spending a few minutes on reading this blog post, I am sure a few people have gained something.

Tired all the time

Hey everyone. I am updating here in Singapore using M1's mobile broadband. Not very satisfied with it. It's quite slow. And I think my netbook is making it laggy. I subscribed the 7.2mbps one because they were having a promotion. 30% off the usual price. Why I took the 7.2mbps one is because I was afraid that the 1mbps, 2mbps and 4mbps will be slow too. Mana tau 7.2mbps is so darn slow. So imagine if i get those lower than 7.2mbps?

I think when I get a desktop I will get a fixed one. Then my mobile one, what to do with it leh? Lolz.

I am not sure whether it is my netbook that is lagging or the connection that is lagging.

Anyway....

Currently, I am very very tired. Having headache almost everynight. Now just below my grandparent's flat, there is this lelong session going on. Very noisy. And these events usually happen during chinese festive seasons. Not only lelongs....also got opera lah, singing lah, praying lah.....darn noisy wan...

Ok, now to working matter.
I have not start working yet. For 2 weeks, I'll be having my orientation and some courses for newbies like me. Orientation was fun, but very tiring because it take the whole day. But it is fun. My fascilitator is quite funny and tries his best to keep us awake.

So yeah, nothing much....Pictures maybe another time k? I don't really have the energy to blog much today.

SALES?! SHOPPING CRAZE!

2 weeks back I was in MidValley. The mall was packed with all sorts of people, like all sorts! Ang Moh lah, Bangdla lah, Arabians lah, Melayu, Cina, India, bla bla bla....

I hate it when every shop is packed with people. I cannot even shop in peace! Have to queue up for changing room lah, too crowded lah I can hardly breathe!

And what I hate most is....

Photobucket

Instead of putting it back in place nicely, they just dump it back to its place. There were too many people, the sales people are unable to control too. So yeah, no time to susun the shoes back. I already no mood to even try the shoes after seeing the place so messed up..

Photobucket

Mana ada mood macam ni? Dump like this until don't know got any kerosakan or not. Hmm..

Anyway, last weekend I went over to KL to shop for a dress for my convo. It is so hard to find a decent sleeved dress nowadays. Even so, it is not very formal kind and it is more casual looking. Unless I wear those office working clothes lah, THAT very easy to find.


So I found this very casual dress from Padini and hmm, if I cannot find any dress anymore, I'll wear this for my convo. I have no choice. At least it is VERY DECENT and it's not sleeveless. All my other dresses are sleeveless, bareback, and tube like, and boleh tengok longkang senang...So yeahh....

Photobucket

Very casual dress right? Aih, what to do lah......Will try hunting for dresses in Singapore. So if I found then this casual dress I can wear go jalan jalan pak tor lepak go church instead of normal jeans, skirt and t shirt. Thanks Josh for this dress. ^^ Not cheap ok........

I really hope I can find a nice dress for convo. I don't understand why so ma fan. Also gonna wear a robe the whole time.

And oh, I gatal tangan go buy a dress online. And this dress I also cannot wear for convo. Lolz. Maybe for a dinner lah. Who's getting married? Please invite me???? =P And that dress I bought online is much much cheaper than that Padini dress! Must treasure Padini dress d.....

Oh I feel great! =P

Worm Water x2

Pizza Hut need to improve their service lah. Waited for more than half an hour just for a medium sized pizza. The place weren't busy at all. The senior staffs were just standing around and laughing away while the kids (I believe they are still school kids) were running up and down serving customers. There weren't many customers, but the tables weren't cleared, food arriving late and all.

Why ah?

Then I beh tahan already so I bising lah...Immediately after that my pizza arrive d....

Then when the bill came,

Photobucket

Lolz. But I see no worm in my water....heh
4 more hours to wake up..

I'm still awake cause I'm not sleepy yet. Hah...

This weekend was quite a good one. Enjoyed the shoppings and burning my pockets and gatherings and making new friends, though I'm still a lil shy, as usual....

Will blog more when I get home later. Home means Kuantan....~~

I'm feeling very lazy to travel........May be coming back to KL on Thursday to teman Phoebe since she'll be alone at home. Let's see what mom and dad will say lah. That time, I'll have a huge big red polka dot luggage to come along with me.

KL here I come!

Yes lah, aku agak sedih lah meet up plan cancel.

But I hope plan B works........SHOPPING!!

yeah, I always say I go shopping but come back empty handed. Maybe I should add the word 'Window' in front of that Shopping next time.

I have a reason to shop now. I want to look for a suitable dress for my convocation next month. It is written in the letter,

"No sleeveless and exposing clothes for females."

So ya lahh.....sleeveless also cannot. But I should be grateful lah, because Pantai College Malacca got their baju koperat wan. Means, they all have their graduation uniform. lolz. Thank God my college gives us a little freedom on our attire.

Ok, got to pack now. (damn, i have to wake up at 6am and now it's already 1am!)

Some pictures for you to enjoy as I end this post...=)
