Last day of work

Image
It's my last day of work. though i've just worked for the summer, but i can't help but develop a nostalgic feeling when I know that I'm leaving. I have an awesome adviser. One who always bring us snacks, one who reminds us to take our break, one who always ask 'how are you' not just for courtesy-sake. I made a 'Petronas twin tower' themed farewell card, reminding that there used to be an international student from Malaysia who worked with them :) It's true that people prefers to hire locals cos hiring international students (especially sponsored students) requires too much documentation and procedure and we're not work-study students (where govt pay half of your salary and the company pay another half. only applies to PR or citizens) When i was hired, the library employment office lady told me that it has been years since they last hired another J-1 visa student. That explains why there are so many problems and delay when it comes to documenti...

I made a new friend

This is too fascinating and funny not to record it down. I'm working in the library today. It's my second last day. (To answer the question most asked "Why aren't you continuing to work for the Fall semester?" "Cos I wanna focus on my studies." Too nerd? No no no. Perhaps? Hmm, but nope. I don't have a naturally gifted brain when it comes to Physics. I don't usually understand a certain concept in my first reading and I need lots of drills when it comes to Mathematical Physics formulas, equations and solutions. Besides that, I still want to be actively involved in bible studies, Christian fellowships, hanging out and keeping in touch with friends and having time for myself. To put it simply, I just want to enjoy my undergraduate life with what I think is important in a not overwhelming way.) Oh, how have I gotten into that topic? Anyway, so I was working and I was supposed to get off work at 2pm. But I volunteered to represent the library at th...

So Sleepy

Talking about being sleepy... i've no idea why i'm extraordinary sleepy today. I was working. Looking for books in the stacks, I've got to squat down for this book right below all the other stacks, instead of squatting down, I sat down. "Ah! there it is." Pulled it out, checked the call number, put it on the carpetted floor, closed my eyes and when I opened my eyes again, i realized that I've been asleep on the floor in between the library book stacks for around 10minutes and similar incident occur again when I'm on my way back from work. I took out my book to read while waiting for the bus to start moving, my eyes were scanning across the lines of words and I was reading, reading.... it wasn't too long before I noticed my weakly-shut eyes were becoming heavier I put away my book into the bag and crossed my arm while trying to sleep properly I can feel the vibration of the engine underneath me. when I opened my eyes again, oh, two more stops, o...

Harry Potter

Just finished watching all of Harry Potter! (after 3 nights of movie marathon) wow! Though I've read the first four books in detailed and the 5th one half-way asleep; but now I feel like reading the rest of the books and really really wanna find out a lot of details that were not properly conveyed in the movie. Really, I'm impressed by Rowling's imagination. It's sort of mind-blowing. But i remembered even reading the first four books last time, it kinda got me into the 'magic' world with all kinds of imagination vividly described in the book. lol. maybe I'll just ask my friends bout the stories since I don't think I can finish reading so many books before semester starts :O x) Oh! and those of you who'd watched movie with me before (in cinema), FYI, I screamed till sore throat watching them in my apartment's living room. Roommate A: When I watched the first episode with her, she screamed 5 times. Roommate B: Haha. I bet she'll screamed mo...

new hairstyle

Let the photos do the talking :D BEFORE Bangs? No bangs? In the end I googled Hairstyle 2011 and these are 2 of the many inspirations given to me. Okay. Time for a pair of scissors, a spray bottle, a hair straightener, a hair dryer, and 2 youtube videos on 'how to cut bangs' After around 1 hour of cutting and trimming... Ta~Daa!! Okay right? Please say okay! I think its okay though :P (oh ya, the messy curls are results of braids throughout the day) Ciaoz!
