And so I had my 2nd hour of training @ u know where on sunday.... It lasted for about 2 hours
Anyway, the 2nd hour challenge is to serve all the customers that come in. I had to serve gelato on small/ medium cones/ cups and also the small takeaway tube with 3 flavours in it. Initially, I seriously had a size problem with both my cup and cones. I tend to scoop too much gelato for the cup and less for the cone( fear of it dropping off so i unintentionally ended up scooping less).
Probably after a few more trials and with Donna constantly telling me that I scoop too much for the cup, I finally perfected it. Phew to that but coming on the cones... *speechless*
I think Donna probably told me 100 times in that last 1 hour that for the cone base, SCOOP more gelato!!! lol. and do not scoop too little and try to patch it up by adding another scoop because it simply ruins it. *sigh* Ok... that one after a few more trial sudah ok BUT then we have another problem here - my gelato on cone is ... how should I say this....
Unsightly? yeap and also it has the tendency to hang off the sides making my life miserable while I try to push it and it chose to stick on the scoop instead. And I will kena again from Donna for always having too much gelato at the back of the scoop and for always playing with the gelato.... I eventually got one right at the end of that 2 hours but just ONE.
After that 2 hours, Donna told me she is quite happy with my performance (I don't see how though...) but I still need to practice a bit more for the cone part. AND !!! FOOSU ! Why la u set the standard so high, I had to suffer because of that. :(
So anyway, boss will be calling me on tues to confirm my start on thurs. However, I still refuse to admit that I am hired because.... I heard she is still training ppl apart from me and foosu plus she did not specifically mention that I am hired. So it's not official yet k?
Shortly before I left that place, she offered to give me some gelato but I turned down her offer. Silly eh? but after "battling" it the past 2 hours, all I have to say is "No thanks". I have enough gelato for one day. Today is a clear evidence to that... I automatically wake up everytime I recall the whole incident @ work while I am asleep. It's that bad... Partially traumatised...

yup... I hate to admit this but sometimes life can be really unfair... and the best part is we can't really do anything about it eh?
Despite working as hard as we can, somehow the outcome just ain't what we expect it to be. I hate being the witness and occasionally the victim.
To a specific person, no matter what the outcome may be, remember to never ever give up and be sure to continue searching k?
With the support from my friends and cousin of course , I will concentrate and do my very best ! Thanks for your support !!! It's amazing what a lil pat on the back can do... :)

Pei-hua was right when she said :" U would probably scream when I tell u this, the electrician is coming between 6pm to 8pm."
But thankfully I was too tired to scream or make such a huge fuss about it.
3 of us were told to wait for them from 8am to 6pm today. Due to my horrible sore throat and flu, Yilee had to wait alone from 8am to about 4 plus in the afternoon. And I went there around 1 plus all the way to 6pm after my class from 11am to 1pm.
And at 6pm, we were then told to wait until 8pm which i did. I was waiting without electricity in our pitch black place until about 7pm when Yilee brought me food.
I honestly dunno what i'll do without both Pei-hua and Yilee. Pei-hua for handling all the arrangements and yilee for rescuing me twice in a row. First time was ytd when I was starving at 4pm for skipping my lunch due to my hectic schedule and today when I was waiting for the silly electrician.
Pei-hua came shortly after that about 7 plus and we waited together until 8pm. The electrician came about 8.30pm though and guess what he did...
He basically just knocked on the door and announced that your electricity is up and running. WTH???!!! So we wasted the whole day waiting when they could have set it up without us being there... !!!!
Talk about inefficiency and miscommunication... And who had to suffer in the end? Obviously 3 of us...

Currently not feeling too well... developed a bad sore throat ytd and now it has progressed to flu. Will be spending most of my time snoozing.... My complexion has taken a toll for the worse too with blemishes scattered all around my face. Obvious signs of stress and coming back to what Miss Pei Fern said: "U think too much !" I will admit that I tend to think too much but one can't blame me for being such an obssessive compulsive thinker.
And to those I've been updating, I had a not too bad day @ Freddo's. Will be going back on Sat for 2nd trial. Hopefully Miss Yilee will be called back too> It will be great if both of us can work together. Lets hope for the best k?

Loads and loads of problem
Talk about frustration + busy
The utmost problem actually stems from our new place. Rental agent being utterly irresponsible and ignorant. So me and my hsmates are the ones suffering in return. Calling up electricity company, Body corporate, gardener, locksmith and arranging a time for them to come in ain't that fun.
Adding to that, I have on the job training session this week plus a biz finance assignment due. Even my dad all the way in KL noticed that I've been super busy. Partially because I did not reply his email ... my bad.
Take my schedule for tmr as an example:
10 am - 12pm : Class
1pm - 2pm: Training
2.30pm - 4.30pm : Gardener & Locksmith at new place
4.45pm - 5.30pm: Open inspection @ our current place
6pm onwards: Free to probably snooze for a bit or might actually head down to Coconut house to have a chat with the boss
Fri
8am: New place
11am - 12pm : Class
1pm - 3pm: Class
3pm onwards: either at new place until 6pm or training @ Coconut House
Sat
MOVE !!!!
I really need an angel at the moment. Can God please send one to me? Or better still send my dad here plz???
Excluding the physical activities, I have my studies to catch up on and work to worry about. So stop asking me to buy u stuff already !!! Damn annoying...
Sometimes I really envy the rich kids studying here who are loaded with cash and have no worries in this world.
If only my life is as simple as that, unfortunately, it will never be that case...

SueGie's surprise b'day party
I just returned shortly from SueGie's surprise 21st b'day party at her place. She being herself was oblivious to the whole situation and was left speechless.
Suegie is one of the many friends I made at EY and probably my closest friend from Audit department apart from Kia Xin. Surprising eh ? The fact that Tax and Audit people do actually mix with each other. Not many do though but I guess we had too much in common (referring to Kia Xin and Suegie). Someone even asked whether me and Kia were friends ever since young but were disappointed only to be told we only met each other for the first time 3 weeks ago. LOL.
I gotta admit that I made some awesome friends at EY. People who cherish you and are willing to guide and teach you despite it being all that tedious. Take my 2 good friends from EY and who are currently in Melbourne as well in their 3rd year, they are the ones I turn to for advice with regards to my studies. They would know whats' best having just done the same subjects recently. Sadly, they are in the midst of applying for their PR contrary to me who's planning to either head back to KL or S'pore to work like a dog. In any given situation or circumstances, I will still pick my family above the rest.
I gave Suegie a lovely golden necklace and a cupcake as well some home made cookies that spelled out her name S-U-E-G-I-E... I hope she likes it. So after the whole hoo-hah surprise thing, we pigged out on the food prepared by her sisters. And we then proceed to play some games after that just to pass time. The game we played was Mafia. LOL. I would have to admit I enjoyed every moment of that game with loads of laughter and sarcasm to go around. Been a while since I had that much fun. It feels really good to leave everything behind and enjoy the company of others.
I was the mafia and police in 2 separate rounds. And honestly am I that funny?
Cause someone commented that I am seriously funny... plainly just because I poked fun at the narrator for not remembering my name despite being reminded 3 times. So what I did was answered her question when she said "Who is this?" It was't actually a question but merely a statement. So I said "Yes! This is JY here. " and the crowd started laughing like mad. Oh well... and I returned home shortly right after that :)
Kia Xin, Suegie and me !!!
Anyway, a big fat Happy 21-st Birthday to Suegie !!!
Those 2 are definitely on my guest list for our upcoming housewarming party scheduled somewhere in September or October. I think I probably have more than 15 people on my personal guest list. Whoopsie !!!
and I gotta learn to pay more attention to what others are saying. I have the tendency to drift off on my own to another world while my friends are talking to me. *tsk* *tsk*
I wonder why?

My encounter & my fav uni subject
I probably shouldn't be blogging about this but I'll feel better after this so who cares?
Anyway, in campus today, I bumped into an old "friend" of mine. Probably here for a holiday. I shall not elaborate further about this "friend" as some of his/her friend might be reading this. But yeah this person played a part in my high/ primary school days. Ask me on MSN if u need further elaboration on this....
Next up, my chinese oral presentation well pretty well today. Me and my partner had fun doing it partially because my teacher is one hell of a teacher. He never fails to crack us up anytime. example would be him jumping trying to pull the white board down saying "this is a challenge for me". LOL. Or the normal Q & A session he has with a few of us about Malaysian Chinese. He loves to tease us about our -LAH-.... and of course our mang-lish. I really regret not taking Chinese as my breadth in 1st year. *knocks her head* Btw, he loves to pick on me because I am taking Chinese for the first time in uni... Not that I mind ... hahaha. I actually enjoy my chinese class instead of groaning everytime I drag myself out of bed to attend other lectures.
Enough about my teacher...
Time to get started on my chinese essay... >_< chinese homework can be a pain in the a** though.

ANGRY POST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I QUIT MY FIRST JOB IN AUSTRALIA just 2 hours ago.
I have a trillion reason to do so.... unable to disclose my employer though for confidentiality purposes. I don't wanna get sued....
Anyway, most of u would already know that I was hired and suppose to start my training soon. So this was what happened on this very fine Wednesday ... I woke up in good mood btw but currently feeling really angry and geram....
So I was having my 2.15pm QM2 lecture as usual when a call came in at 2.50pm from my manager. He request that I come in at 3pm for training .... Problem is????
U DO NOT NOTIFY A PERSON THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO COME IN FOR WORK 10 MINS BEFORE THAT !!!!!
Ok fine, that one I shall forgive him. So orang ini ran from Asia Centre to my home to change into black jeans and t-shirt.
Arriving at the place, I told the manager that there has been a change in my timetable. He said that the change won't work for him. So I said then if it's not fine with u, u can always hire someone else. He said ok then thats' fine and I was told to fill up some forms etc and read the House Rules (Dress code, conduct etc) ... After filling up, manager asked me to go home and change into black pants and rubber shoes...
Being the honest me, I told him "I DON"T HAVE those stuff." How was I suppose to know that the dress code was like that when he just gave me the House Rules book to read?
Guess what he said to me after that? He said: U don't look like ur interested and comfortable with this job. " And upon seeing my application form, he noticed a change in my address and said: "U even gave me the wrong address. I thought that u live just around the corner."
I am trying my best to hold back my anger at this point....
So I kindly said that I am shifting to Royal Parade. And it was stated in my resume that I live in NORTH MELBOURNE !!!! Since when was that around the corner of Bourke - Exhibition? It freaking took me 30 mins to get there.
Apparently he has a bad sense of direction and wanted to argue with me on this issue stating that: "yeah, North Melbourne is just around the corner. " He even pointed in the wrong direction.
At this point, I was already boiling over with anger.... So I said: No! North Melbourne is straight upwards." Unable to contain my anger anymore, I said that I will only give him trouble (I was being humble ok?) and said I think he should look for someone else.
He was obviously pissed off and said fine. I also said fine and walked out of the shop.
END OF MY DRAMATIC STORY.....
Even though I feel less tense right now, I can't help feeling disheartened and also a pang of sadness somewhere deep inside me. I know it's for the best but u gotta admit I did put a lot of hope in this job but who knew it would turn out like that eventually.
According to Hui Zheng, skipping lectures truly is not what I would normally do and she is right. Thanks girl for knocking some sense into my head. I totally forgot what is important to me. Money is not my main priority but my studies !!! How did that slip my mind so easily???
I know I can be irrational and compulsive at times which made me wonder whether I've made the right decision. I acted according to my instinct in this case when I told the manager that he should look for someone else. Right move? Silly move? Up to u to judge but thats' my true nature. If I think that I am being ridiculed, I will retaliate.
I shall march forward and concentrate on my studies from now on. I will still job hunt but without compromising my studies and continue to hold on tightly to the promise I made to my dad. No emo-ness please?
My promise : No matter what happens, I will always put my studies first.
P/S Many thanks to my listeners / those who supported my decision and comforted me. It was because of u guys I got over this faster than expected.

Big plans ahead
I am contemplating organising an open house @ our new place somewhere in September....
Preferably the Saturday before our 2 weeks break start? Good idea?
However, I am not sure how to go about having this open house. I can't possibly afford to pay for everyone's food since I presume it will be quite a large crowd. Invitations are extended to 3 (referring to me and my housemates) of our friends of course. But then again we won't be inviting ALL of our friends. Probably only the close ones? hmmm... I already have a few friends in mind.
Anyway, we wanted to hold it in conjunction with Mooncake Festival which falls on the 15 of September I think? But where is my funding gonna come from?
Me and Yilee were thinking of just providing Mooncake and probably one main dish while the guests provide side dishes? Do u think it will be effective?
Let me know what u think alright? :)

失踪
我现在实地应该往那儿走？
到底应该拿那一条路才是正确的？
如果事情间单多了那该多好。。。。
但是生活仍然不是清白， 往东南西北看都是烦恼。
钱来付我的生活费， 课业方面又必须花一大把时间复习，我唯一辛辛苦苦找来的一分工作也没消息。
你说呢？ 烦不烦恼？
但我一直隐瞒着这件事，心里担心家人会提我操心。
希望事情会迅速有所发展而我将会立刻脱离这个困扰。祝我好运吧

Job
I am currently feeling really insecure about my "part time job".
Reason being that the manager doesn't seem to be speeding up my training and also my start date. My main concern about this is that I don't think he is well aware that I am gonna resign at the end of November. No way am I gonna stay here to work the whole summer plus I have my internship at KPMG to worry about. BUT if he is willing to let me have my 3 months vacation and take me back in when I head back to Melbourne then that will be the BEST thing ever. But to be honest, its just too good to be true....
And being so impatient, I actually went to the place today to speak to the manager. The staff asked me if I am the newbie? Is that good news or bad news? Good news if he was in fact referring to me and bad news if he was referring to another person. Anyway, I simply told the manager about the change in my timetable to accommodate this job. And all he said was fantastic or was it great? Can't quite recall... and then said that my training would have to be 3 days in the evening in which I told him that I am only free from Wed to Fri in the evening. And he said: "Great ! just let me manage it from here on. "
What was that suppose to mean anyway?
So means I am not starting next week? Pffftttt.... Looks like he will be dragging this for a really long time. And turn around to bite me later on when he finds out I am going back in December. Maybe I should just tell him straight to the face that I am INDEED going back in December so hurry up and let me start already. But then again, he might actually go :" WHAT? ur going back in December? then I am afraid I can't hire you as I am looking for a permanent part timer. "
This is the reason I haven't told everyone about my so called job that I have because the thing is I am not even sure whether I will be working. From the way I see it, it's not progressing at all.
It will be pretty embarassing if I did tell everyone about it and yet not get the job in the end.

Lemon and Orange cake + Moving
A simple cake this time round.
And it's official !!! Signed the lease and we're moving to a new place on Royal Parade. Expected to be busy packing from next week onwards... Shifting in on the 29th August / 5th September .... And to those who wants to help, feel free to assist ... Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Pei Fern for stealing the photo btw. hahahaha.
A call to my brother few nights ago left me laughing the whole night... Let me tell u why ...
My brother's silly classmate apparently locked the whole class in their own classroom by padlocking the front and back grills.
Where were the keys u might wonder?
Simple .... the silly one wanted to throw the keys on the table but it flew out the window instead. They were in the 1st floor btw. LOL. And I'll let your imagination run wild on this.
The keys couldn't be found and Encik Bala (SMKDJ's guard) had to hammer the locks to let them out.
Form 3 kids.... *tsk**tsk* I don't remember being so silly and playful at that age.
Reminds me .... I have some of my high school pictures in my laptop
See if U can spot me in the photo above....
Credits: Pei Jie :)And I do realize I look really nerdy back then with my glasses on.... Those are some of closer friends back in high school...

I am quite well known for my "weird" behaviour or referred to as "semangat" by my friends.
And currently I am going through this phase after failing to perform as well as I could have last semester. I would like to blame it on the distractions and problems I had but it just doesn't work that way.
I'd be sure to avoid those "distractions" this semester (Note: pls do not disclose the problem for those who knows on my blog :/ ).... My friends will be my key witness after spending some not so delightful moments listening to me going on and on and on and on about it.
hahahaha.... thanks for listening btw.... :) apparently Hui Zheng had the same problem so I've been spending quite some time with her on the phone as well as meeting up for meals.
Anyway, I will seem pretty busy these few months. Somehow 24 hours is just ain't enough. But who's complaining since it literally means I am one step closer to
So forgive me if I don't come online on MSN that often or take ages to reply any msges.
P/S Pei Jie, u know very well what time I skype my dad on sundays. Come online during that time and we can chat :)

Confirmation
I've been given a word of confirmation but I won't be spreading the news around until I've signed the "contract"...
The circumstances might change without my knowledge anyway....
So until then,
Only Yilee (my teman/ key witness?) , Pei Fern, Hui Zheng, Mel Leong, Eugene and Pei Jie are informed.
And many thanks to Pei Fern who has been encouraging me.... :) And yes persistence does pay off even though I was almost on the verge of giving up....

I miss everything all the way from KL to Adelaide.....
I miss my cousins from Adelaide... *sobs*
I miss Yu-li's laughter everytime I trip over something or when I give her a silly look
Liyen's exaggeration
Elaine's seriousness and annoyed look when her sisters go crazy
You probably might be bored already with my never ending post about me missing my cousins and home but that's what I think about every single day.
And I wish it'll stop too but I can't help it. Roughly about 4 more months to go before I board Air Asia X flying to Kuala Lumpur at 0125.
I can't wait to see my newborn niece and also my tiny cousins. Gosh... I hope they can still recognize me.

A new start
Finally my healthy regime started today...
My return from the gym @ uni after spending 2 hrs plus just feels awesome.
And to top it all, I managed to burn 550+ calories. *dance with glee*
My trip to Adelaide + Winter were the two main reason why I put on 3 kg the past few weeks but no regrets to my Adelaide trip though. hahaha.
Btw, I did not start exercising right after I came back to Melbourne was because I was homesick for about 2 weeks. Obvious symptoms of my homesick include my never ending sleeping habit, eating non stop, moody/ not talking much.
So therefore, it took me quite a while to get over that and also this...
INTRODUCING ME & YI LEE's FIRST ever Japanese Cheesecake !!!
Japanese Cheesecake is my favourite type of Cheesecake as it is not too cheesy. I don't like anything which is too chocolaty, cheesy, sweet, oily, spicy etc... So this cake is perfect :)
