These four days of orientation really gave me an insight of the company business. I have yet to meet my boss but have gotten to know more about semiconductors I suppose. I am like a small little kid there…learning from nothing to at least something now. I remembered during the briefings and talks and sessions could really kill me…I just couldn’t stop myself from yawning and “fishing” all the time when the room was only lit up by that dimmed slide show. And what was worse? (I’m not trying to be racist here) I’m the only chinese and the ONLY engineer in the orientation group. But at the very end of the day the freshies get to walk around the plant and witness all the production processes…The machines are just simply amazing, excuse me for being such a naive girl here. I have never ever witness with my very own eyes…as I have no background at all in this industry. Tomorrow I will be sent to my department to meet my boss and hopefully my boss will refer me to a super good immediate supervisor. Haha…it just seems scary to be in a total strange place..well, at least as compared to the office where I had my industrial attachment. It’s extremely tiring and I felt like wanting to splunge in my bed and close my eyes once i get home…haha… hmmm..it’s just the beginning… =P

First week at work
…
Back to my misery post, one asked “when are you going to learn?” erm…interesting question. Btw when you start judging you’re blinded with complains. Very true I would say. Although I had been placed by Him to those places where I considered “undesirable” but I’ve been through every one of them with something I called valuable lessons. I did my F6 with great pride, involving in school plays, board of librarians and what not ended up with a whole bunch of great people. My uni days? well for me it wasn’t some high-pressured moments, striving to be the best among the rest or to complete my assignments with something extra to get more point BUT…but but but…(boast a bit sin) I get good grades and graduated with my targeted grades!…Just what more I could have asked for? huhu…hopefully this time around I have more of His guidance and blessings too oh… Oh yeah…I accepted the job so peeps…announcing, liyen is no more jobless now. kakaka…and I already have my shopping list when i get my payroll…terrible terrible me…huhu… but my dad say “save not spend!”… -.-”’
misery…
Is it me who always go against God’s will or does He purposely put me into such difficult situation, perhaps He wants to tame my tongue? Yeah…my mouth just simply couldn’t stop telling people what I dislike but will always eat my own words and land on those undesirable grounds.
Yes, I did say I would never take up Form6 during my form5 years but yeah, I was there sitting in the dreadful hall for that STPM paper. And yes I did say I never wanted to pursue my tertiary education in Perak but I did it in a renown university just 45mins away from my house. Yes, again, I did say I didn’t want a major in petroleum but yeah I’m now a graduate in chemical engineering majoring in PETROLEUM. Yes, I did say I didn’t want to end up being an engineer and precisely not in the semicon industry and am dying to get away from Ipoh…and yet there’s an offer right here waiting for me to say “yes”. Gosh…
Just wondering why did all the things that i said “yes” to doesn’t seem like happening…perhaps God loves me too much and realise what I need the most. It’s all still a misery…..
Crap
Haven’t cried this bad for quite a long time…well, it’s almost shameful to admit that I was a cry baby and I still am now! I gave in to my think-too-much syndrom and let it took over my mind again. There were times I really thought telling ‘it’ to shut up works but it didn’t. It was simply outta my control. Wonder if I could just get tired of this. Just wished my brain could be a little ‘ding dong’. I thought all along I just didn’t want things to get sour but now I know that doesn’t help either. Don’t you people worry, a great sob and plenty of tears were all I needed. I am well and much relieved now. Time to get some time-off and make some deep-tots.
Earth Hour 28 March 09
Earth Hour was held meaningfully with an hour of quality time spent with family members. Mum was being very supportive, preparing small bites for that one hour of darkness. Dad did being supportive but acted like as if there were thousands of ants underneath his skin as he wanted to continue his series marathon on the Astro channel. Was quite hilarious! =P. We had trifle (with too much liquor and ended up mostly in the waste bin) and fruits and some other small bites. That was not only an hour of awareness but also an hour of sweet family moment!
PERFECTION
The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it.
What is the point of achieving perfection?
There is none, nothing. Not a single thing.
If something is perfect, then there is nothing left.
There is no room for imagination.
No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge and abilities.
Mayuri TaiCho-Bleach Episode 200

So my dear “average person”,
Cease perfection and welcome imagination!
*Who says anime are for kids…it’s pretty educational oh! =P *
Christmas Caroling
Yup yup yup…
It’s Christmas again. This year a lil’ special, my family agreed to let me invite carolers to come and sing for the very first time. Hallelujah~ And I am very glad that the Elim Youths did a pretty good job. A great big thanx to all who came and enjoyed the nite!
Before the caroling, my relatives all came for a get-together dinner in conjunction of the “Dong Zhi”…err…I do not know what it’s known as in English though. You night get bored already as 90% of my posts are food-related, but what to do…it’s me, Liyen mar…
Ladies and gentlement, here comes the foodie (mind you, it’ all homemade!)

Stress Busters
Chocolates, pringles, super ring, twisties, rice crakers, nori sticks, choco puffs, salt sticks, instant coffee, rainbow sweets, peanut butter cookies, choco pretz and still counting…that’s what we called “STRESS BUSTERS”!!!
Study week and exam weeks with tests and presentations and all other stuff in between are driving us, students, insane! Stress, stress, stress…
Well, maybe not too much stress in our case…instead, the very common words/phrases in our current daily life…”hou sien ar”, “sien lar”, “boring”, “sien”, “very boring ar”…(those who are close to me should understand this miserable feeling)…that’s probably the post-intern symptoms…hehe…then there’ll sure be someone start offering food and snacks…that’s for the sake of taking away our stress and ‘sien-ness’. Guess exam weeks are the time to pile up some kgs…and after that…looking at the mirror one fine day, what’s next…DIET!!! Aih =.=… that’s simply “My life as a student”-thing…don’t you think?
(* 90% of the snacks belongs to my roomie ler…I only contribute 10% jek…now you know who’s the culprit responsible for the weight-gaining scheme!!!) … ops…joking jek…=P
WHEN’S HOLS???
Study Week
Study week is meant to study for the final examination…not. I am now in the midst of preparing the ding dong slides for my FYP1 presentation…felt so sick as the project is totally off track and now has got nothing to present! A combination of a totally-doesn’t-make-sense-presentation slides and a highly-irrelevant-final report is just simply superb. Still wondering how will my presentation turn out later. Just cross my fingers that the examiners will be a little nicer, ie, shoot with a lil’ consideration! Oiks~ ya back to study week, there just not enough time for studying. Gotta prepare for presentation and a test…yes, test on study week! Aih… Liyen, Gambatte ne!
