Day 0 - Take off day!

Day 0 - 14/02/10



so i guess i've reached the end of my countdown. today's the last day in malaysia before i fly off to melbourne. in fact, i would be boarding the plane to singapore, which will then transit to melbourne in 5 hours time. so many feelings are running through me now. sad, excited, nervous, happy..


sad because i'm leaving my friends and family behind...


excited coz of the new experiences dat i would gain..


nervous coz i'm not sure of wat to expect..


and happy coz i'm going to explore a foreign land...




this is a new chapter in life for me. a chapter of independence. learning how to survive by myself. survival of the fittest yea? haha. lol. wish that someone i love besides my family members was here to send me off. but i guess it is not the time. i'm not going for a long time, just a few months.. but i hope these few months could change me for the better. and not for the worse. i want to be able to look back and be proud of wat i have accomplished, and live with no regrets.


but going into a foreign new land seems very daunting to me, with no one dat i could depend on. all my life, there was always someone who stood by me, physically. i noe dat i could count on them to be there when i need them. but now, they wouldnt be there physically for me, though mentally and spiritually. i have many friends and family members who had wished me all the best, and to succeed in my choice of path.


but then as i think back, my childhood memories, my house and everything. this is my home. the feeling of sleeping in my bed for the last time last night, eating home cooked food last dinner, showering in the comforts of my home. its my last everything. i guess as i'm typing this, it'll be the last time i step into my room, and once i step out, i wouldnt be seeing this place until july 2010.


i had always wanted to travel overseas. and now, that i've gotten my chance, wat would the future hold for me?
i need to get ready to depart for the airport already. so for now, i'll log off this post, and once i write back here again, i know that i would not be on malaysia soil already.


so off i go to explore the new land, like a sailor departing for his first journey, like a soldier departing for his base..


i'll be like an eagle, i'll spread my wings and learn how to fly..




take care everyone.. :)

We had two tables, one for the older generation, one for the younger generation.

Day 4

Day 4 - 10/02/10
Today's my last day at work! having mixed feelings bout it. i'm starting to get used to the working environment, not because i like my tasks, but i like the people. i guess, no matter how horrible/stressing the job is, it all boils down to the people we socialise with. if we made fast friends with them, i guess it's just fun stressing out together, yet having fun too. :) will definitely cherish my time here at dialog company.


my immediate supervisor.


at my workplace. hehe. see my bottle? :p


L-R: Ms Goh, me and Ms Sing.


Oh, that's my computer, my phone and pencil box.

My nameless Dialog tag



if ya realised, i'm not holding my tag. my tag is faceless! haha.



My department: the fabricators
L-R: Ms Goh, Ms Sing, me, Ms Wan, Steve


Another pict, adding Ridzuan inside.

Our kaki makan, Eric and Liew (Civil engineers)


The level 1 ppl
L-R: Shu, Ms Goh, Ms Chin, me, Robert, Rizal


My jap boss : Mr tani aka Ah Kung



That's wat happens when ya gift something to your colleagues. :)


Another Eric. But he's a business executive instead. i helped him out a little before, so yup, took a pict with him.


the younger generation. E&C side.
L-R: Victor, Kenneth, Me


The other intern. :)

well, i guess that's it for my farewell. tomorrow would be a holiday for me. i so can't wait to have a day off again! :) Until then.

Live Every Day As If It's Your Last

I received another beautiful email today. It's really nice, so i'm gonna share it with everyone. :)


A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package."

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion."

Well, I guess this is it.

He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house.

His wife had just died.

He turned to me and said:


'Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'.


Well, that's very true. we tend to miss out the finer details in life. Tell your loved ones that ya love them, eat your favourite food when you feel like it, dress to the nines to anywhere ya want, because...

Tomorrow is promised to no one. So live every day as if its your last.. :)
