I've switched projects, but still at the same building. I was previously with Energy & Loss Management Systems, and now with 3PIP (petronas project process improvement project). haha. i kinda like my new project. unlike my old one, i'm quite busy now. and i like it xD. hohho. once i'm done with one task, my supervisor gives me another. and since i have 2 supervisors, i get work from both of them.

on another note, i'm suffering from sleep deprivation. xD. i've been going out everyday, and coming back late. but yea, i'm still ok la. reminds me how foundation was. when i literally wouldn't sleep!

went jungle trekking (somewhat) with gary the other day, and ended up running out. we went in with shorts, and no mosquito repellent. mosquitos were sticking to us like glue xD. finally ran out coz we couldn't take it. i'm probably going again on saturday this week. i need to sweat! after all the banana leaf i've been eating. oh well, all i can do is enjoy the good food here. soon enough i'll be complaining about the same old same old utp food.

and yea, turn off ur lights.




For everything else, there's M***TERCARD xD

I went back to utp last weekend. For no particular reason. i missed the people there, and dc. i stayed at matt's room, and since his computer wasn't working, i used his place the whole time i was there. watched series after series after series. xD. we went to voodoo on saturday for oliver's bday, and yea. I WAS PISSED. haha. yups. i've never been this drunk in my life, or as far as i can remember. although, i'm sure i've drank a hell of a lot more. but yea, it was good. i see myself going back to utp often in the future. '

trip to and from ipoh = RM 20.
Ciggarettes =RM 30
Food = RM 30
7 bottles of liquor = RM 1040.
Puking like a waterfall, suffering from a hangover and not being able to walk = PRICELESS.

Everyone i've spoken to about their internship is actually going somewhere out of their office. Ocheng and zaki are going to singapore for 6 weeks. Gabriel is gonna go sailing for about 10 days, shiou ting will be going to melaka and kuantan quite often i think. so that leaves me, stuck in the office here. all alone. hahaa.

I'm going back to campus this week i think. i thought of taking friday and monday off, my one day a month for february and march. but then i may keep my one day for march, and go somewhere from the 7th -10th. since 9th is a public holiday.

i got my pay last week. and now, i'm left with 400. only god knows where all my money has gone to. i booked my flight to sabah for the day after intern is over, and i think i'll be there for 6 days xD. the fares were so fucking cheap, i couldn't resist. i told everyone i knew bout the flights and some booked. airasia should give me some commission! haha. my sister and her friends booked a return flight to langkawi for 95 bucks i think? and yea. we could've gotten it cheaper - at 75 fucking bucks! i checked how much the ticket was to sabah, and it was 150. i thought it was about time i booked the flight, otherwise i'd regret when it got more expensive. My uncle asked if i wanted to follow him to kuching in april, and i said yes xD. so there, my intern has become cuti-cuti malaysia. i've been checking airasia and MAS consistently, and the fares keep getting lower and lower and lower! haha. SO THERE! go book your holidays before its too late.


I was chatting with april last night, and she might come back sometime next month for a few days, and for a week in july. She might be back for a month in december, so maybe then we'll go for some holiday again.

Attention Readers, the following was composed and edited by Ms Siveranjini Rajan Thiran.

I owe Ivan this since last weekend. Sorry Ivan I am just plain lazy (you kn0w me =P). Anyway I am not really good at this so I am going to make this as interesting as possible. This whole thing is about Ivan’s driving (finally?). Haha. Its not that his driving was that bad, but for those who have been in the car with him when he drives should understand I guess. winks. So yea, on February 14th (“it’s just another day”) Ivan actually drove all the way to Section 14 from Sentul. I was impressed. Really. Then we headed to 1 Utama. No he didn’t sesat. =P. After parking the car (thank god we remembered where we parked), we went to makan2 dulu. Then we were just walking around aimlessly. Dodging all the Valentine couple’s promotion. It was Valentines. What do you expect? And hey you don’t have to be in love to celebrate it. I had fun with my close friend(S). =)
So yea after dragging him along into some shops,(h I h I, sorry weyh) we went back. And yea he dropped me back in a piece. I am still impressed. =)

our memories, they can be inviting

we wanted to go to genting on wednesday, but it didn't really work out. ended up chilling with sive at KLCC, and hara and bangsar. we ended up going to genting on friday night. we decided to go up at 11, and finally got up at 2. we got lost for about 2 hours i think? yea. I know i'm from PJ, but God knows i can't find my way around KL. i've been perak so long that i'm practically from Ipoh. :D so we finally found the way up. decided to go into casinos, just to see what it was like. Well, it's crazy. i don't think i'll ever gamble there. people there are crazy. they throw 500 to a thousand on games that depend on chance. very very slim chances. yea. so after the casinos, we went out. and were smoking there for about 20 minutes. so bloody cold i tell you. we went hunting for maggi cups, and enjoyed it outside. :D left at about 430, and reached home at about 530. i think i slept for 12 hours. i shall post pictures up once i get them.

intern is starting to be a bit more fun. Money would make it a lot more interesting though. xD.

You’re the only place that feels like home

one of my supervisors asked me to help her out for this user forum at Imperial Hotel. since i had nothing to do in the office, i said ok. it's been ok so far. not much work to do, and i get free food. free good food! haha. That's possibly the most exiciting thing that has happened since i started my internship. I suppose more work will come in the coming weeks.

my cheque finally came on friday. i can finally pay all my debts. haha.

what a day

he was in the habit of taking things for granted, granted there wasn't much for him to take, and the only thing constant, was the constant reminder that he'd never change.

Xmas & New Year
[info]givan26
a lot has happened in the last week.
  
 


 
  



the ribbon on my wrist says do not open before christmas
[info]givan26

Almost a month here, and already I’ve decided to take a week off work. Possibly going to penang – I want to, yet I wanna stay here. I haven’t done any of my Christmas shopping as yet. My parents have given me my Christmas money already, and I’ve finished half of it. And I have no idea where the money has gone to.

Tasha and I emceed this prom at putrajaya on Saturday. Not bad la, we opened the dance floor. Hehe. I think the four of us did most of the dancing, as though it were our own prom. There was this other bunch of girls there as well who joined us. At least they started dancing. And yea – we were PAID. We should look for more events to emcee, to get some extra cash. Hehe.

I hope my allowance comes in soon, I’ve got a lot of debts to pay.

I’m probably gonna stay at my uncle’s place in sentul until internship is over. It’s much nearer to the office, and I’ll get to use one of his cars. Although I don’t think I’ll be going out much.

New Year is coming. Hopefully everyone’s around to celebrate – that’s if I’m not at Penang.
 

Merry Christmas everyone! have a blast.

So, intern started. Nothing much is going on, I’m still wondering why I accepted this offer. Especially since, yea.. things are going really slowly at the office. Come in at 8, I wait for lunch at 1, and wait to go back at 5. oh yea, I do have that ‘occasional’ smoke breaks. Yea, they have a smoking room here. I get a lecture from shiou ting almost every day for burning money.

There are 4 other interns on my floor, all from our course. Ocheng, zaki, yap and istiazah, and some others at the other levels. At least there are some people I can actually speak to here, I’d die if there were no one else here.

 

Speaking to engineers can be somewhat intimidating? The only non-UTP people I speak to are my supervisors from Accenture. They’re quite nice, and I’m going for this year end party they’re having at the end of next week. 

 

A lot of things aren’t going the way I expected they would. I guess it’s coz I’m broke. Can’t go no where. I can’t wait for Christmas. At least then I’d get some cash (I hope). Now, gotta dig for cash from God-knows-where to buy presents.

 

April’s coming back from Switzerland soon. Back to daily poker xD. Hopefully my allowance would come in time for new year. Hope to go really crazy this year, especially since everyone is around.

 

I’ve been staying at my uncle’s place at sentul for a couple of days now. At least now I can sleep an extra 10 minutes in the mornings, and its costs less to go up and down from there.

___________________________________________________________________________________

I might be going for my aunt's christmas beach party at penang again this year, on the 27th & 28th. And probably a dinner and dance at Kulim Club again. well, that's the first of my options. really too soon to say.

friends of mine, old and new. friends whom i met in this place i never thought i'd grow to love.

I enjoyed every bit of this semester. The only semester I didn't go back for my midsemester break. From the every other day bears, to the weekly poker, to the occasional teluk batek, to the random trips to pangkor and penang, to the langkawi holiday, to the RMS sessions, to the parties with cops, to the events and to the post-semester drinking.

I'm not ready to leave this place just yet.

Exams have started. I'm done with 2 out of 4 papers i'm taking this sem. I've got another one on saturday, and the last on friday next week. I think i'm gonna go out on saturday. Haven't gone out in quite a bit.

This sem is almost over. well it practically is. in about 8 days? then there's about a week before intern. I'm a little excited, yet nervous about it. but i suppose it'll be fine.

I've finally confirmed where i'm going. Accenture! haha. E****'s playing games, and i'm too malas to play along. I really didn't expect something like that from a huge corporation like their's. First, decline me. Then say i'm shortlisted. Then give me a phone interview, and say i'm accepted. 5 hours later, tell me i've gotta go through an interview. when i call them back, they say they've got other candidates as well. I called them today and told them i'm no longer interested. Heck, i've got another 2 weeks to intern. And i can't possibly wait for an uncertain option.

Lesson learned: Don't be too greedy.

plus, from what i've heard, Accenture's an awesome place to do your intern in. :D

Suddenly

and suddenly he remembers how beautiful she was. and suddenly he remembers how he felt, and thanks God for having felt what he felt. and then he realizes that it's 2 years today, and smiles.

*this post is 2 weeks old*

I've skipped almost every class since tuesday, well basically 3 of our classes today. I've got a test tmw, but i can't study in time. Spoke to the lecturer, he said there is gonna be a replacement test, but that's gonna be much harder. Expected i suppose.

My etp presentation went well..... Until the evaluator started to attack me.
He was asking a lot of questions through the presentation, which were all in the friggin slides. So i asked if we could proceed with the slides first, and questions during the Q&A session. I think he felt challenged at that point.

To be honest i did, speak up alot, in the sense where i would add stuff after people answered some questions. Which i didn't believe was wrong in any way, since it is a group thing, and naturally you would only wanna help your group.

At one point, he cut me off. He said i was monopolizing the presentation, he said i'm giving the impression that i do not trust my group members, and that i thought i was the smartest person in the room.

i did not in any way try to monopolize, or imply that i did not trust my group members. It's a freaking group project for crying out loud, anything anyone in the group would say or do is only to help the group.

Talent search was on last friday. Thankfully we didnt screw up this time, but still a lot of the freaking juniors were being plain 'ol bitches. Come on la, we're not f*cking foundation kids la, we've been here long enough to know whats expected of us. at least our head seok yee was nice and helpful.

Again, our gimmick didn't work out. But i suppose it's our lack of practice, maybe future MCs can learn something from. Other than that, the event was nice. Didn't really get to see any performances though.
  
MC's!

we went to this waterfall at simpang pulai for pedro and mike's farewell, and for the after party later. All of us went crazy, played some music and started dancing. we were so drunk we didnt realize how late is was. the cops came to check on us at 4, and we slowed down after. i think we had 12 bottles of tequila? yea. for 25 of us. But i'm sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

I'm having fun for sure. But i may be screwing up my studies at the same time. I hope i can catch up. Really worried. haih.

_________________________________________________________________________________

 we went to the juniors block last week for a get-to-know session, which was somewhat funny. i suppose we all know each other now. Saturday was fun, except for the part where my hangover started in the club. I started drinking at 7 that day. a bear, a bottle of chivas for 4 of us and we took ballentine's as soon as we got to the club. So yea, with that combo.



*i'm so malas to upload pictures here. i'll upload more once i'm home.

I got myself into another mess. I'm gonna MC on friday for talent search. And, as usual, i've got a fucked up week. Had a presentation today, that didn't go so well. Another presentation tmw, for ETP, and a test on friday. I know i should start studying, but i can't. I wish i could. I'd say i wish i was as rajin as i was back in foundation, but i prefer having fun :D  i like how i'm spending my college life. about time to start enjoying eh? haha. This semester is almost over, and then yea, we've got our internships. Which is also another pain in the ***.

this semester has been a crazy one. all started with the mid-semester break. First Penang, then Pangkor, then Langkawi. After midsem, Ipoh, Camerons, Teluk Batek. I think i'm addicted to all these crazy random trips. But of course, now i'm broke. Really broke. But whatever it is, this has been the best semester in UTP. Sadly, it's coming to an end. I doubt we'll be able to do these crazy things while we're interning.

Cheers to the semester i chose to become crazy, and cheers to the people who went crazy with me.

who knows, we might decide to go to Melaka soon. yes, we really are that crazy.

athiradee night!
