Been checking mail daily but the 'MAIL'that I wish for is nowhere found in my inbox...
Been waiting for my phone to ring but it never rung except for those calls from friends to go 'yum cha'.
Everyone have been telling me to be patience but how can I be?
Having have to wait in uncertainty is so frustrating and it drained off all my energy so fast that I can't catch up replenishing them. I felt as if I'm given a red card in a football game and being left to rot somewhere while looking at each of my friends who have found their job.
Faster have a company[I dun care what company as long as the job is related to my major] reply to my application liao.... Better off if the company that I wish to enter called me up for confirmation as they promised they would.
Wish me luck; K?

一直很想一个人去旅行
有太多想去的地方了
但毕业至今都没找到满意的工；
等一天有了工，存够了钱；
敢敢拿两个月的假期，
然后去旅行！唉，
讲是酱讲；
有工再讲。。。
[my holidays, my food, my dive!]

Yes, I'm back in Labuan and I just can't stand the super 'snail speed like' dial-up connection. Can't even finish checking my mail at home! And finally, I found a place where I can surf for free and with air-cond! Hahaha..... Just outside Financial Park's KFC outlet. The bad thing bout this would be no power point for my aging laptop which the battery die out superfast. Sigh.... What to do, have to wait till I've a permanent job before getting my self a fix line.
My life over in Kuching had just ended...
Within the 5 years period here;
I got myself a motorbike to get to uni and for my part time job;
Applied broadband to search for study materials and also to peep other peoples' blog;
Having a whole bunch of crazy friends to commit crazy stuffs together.
Too bad, the time has come for me to leave; and my life kind of rolling backwards.
I have to sell off my bike..... and replaced by my mountain bike;
No more broadband means not going to update my blog for a longer period and also dont expect to see me on msn either;
and also from a whole bunch of dudes to no one to hang out with....
Sigh.....anyway, all this will just be temporary... A month, two months or maybe three... Never know till the time comes.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year in this mouse year!
Too bad, I still have to "squad" in Kuching till next morning b4 taking flight back to Miri. For now, at least I can still enjoy watching free fireworks from my room's window while waiting for the time to pass. All because of that stupid company!!!!!!

When you are offered a job as Quality Inspection Engineer (QC), what do you expect to do?
a) Product defects inspection
b) Product quality inspection
c) Weekly and monthly report on products quality
d) To carry and arrange the products accordingly
e) All of the above
Well, what's your answer? For me, I've just joined a company which gave me only the "e" option. The company main business is steel fabrication but they also manufacture LPG cylinders for both SHELL and PETRONAS in which is the department which I WAS attached to.
At first when interview, they told me it will just be a little bit dirty and all you need to do is just to inspect those products [LPG Cylinders] for their manufacturing process. However after they got me in, they made my first 3 days "eating" whole stacks of quality manual, quality procedures, and even work procedures for the entire process. That was fine as I will need to know what is going on to help perform my job.
Right after that, my boss send me over to the first inspection station for 2 weeks. Guess what, you will have to inspect the cylinders which were just welded using SAW [submerged arc weld] which is damn hot for any welding defects. After that, record the serial numbers for both defects and non-defects. Finally, you will still have to stack all of them up and send it to the storage area for further processing. As for the welder, all they need to do is just to weld and push it off the station after weld and we have to do the rest of the job. Don't you think this job should be renamed to " Welders' kuli"? They even got huge industrial fan blowing at them when they do the job which we don't. And when troubles come, we got shot instead of them!
After I did some thinking and with my work permit still having no news of it after such a long time has passed, I finally wrote the letter to my boss. Sir, I Resign! Now I understand why this particular position has been vacant for more than 2 years especially with their super lousy pay some more.
Moral of the lesson, never thought that the job will be as nice as the title goes and huge + listed companies doesn't guarantee that they really appreciate their workers and pay them well.
Sipadan Day 1
Our initial plan which was to reach Semporna around 5.30, have a cup of coffee and directly heading towards the jetty but it was ruined because the very moment when we reached Semporna was around 3:30 am. Way too early!
*Having too much coffee while waiting for the bus to pick us up to the jetty.

Know what, that stupid company that I mentioned finally got back to me and ask me to report for duty, "AGAIN". And that is right after I've just sent another few job application letters to other companies off Sarawak. Kind of hate this stupid work permit thingy.
"Enough of this fuzz"; that's what I told myself and will be off for my vacation on the 9th (WED). At least having my vacation is better than "squatting" in Kch doing nothing but waiting. Besides, will have detour to go back home b4 back to KCH.

Yes, I'm glad that I finally found a job and as scheduled; should have started yesterday.
However, some unbelievable things had happened and most probably out of my stupidity; 'For trusting that the company will get the work permit for me.' which is as what I've been told by the interviewer.
Just after an hour into the briefing on my first day of duty, 'Mr. P' only came to realized that I'm not a Sarawakian and give me a stupid facial impression before saying: 'Well, I'm sorry to tell you that you are illegal to work in this company without a work permit so the contract that we signed = "VOID" '
Right after the words came out of his mouth, all the others looked at me as if I'm just another "Illegal Immigrant". That definately sux.
The thing that pissed me off the most was his last few words to me, 'We'll contact u after we find out the procedures from the immigration.'
