Course in Tawau 2

Yo! Am currently in Tawau for Phase 3 & 4 of MBI course. It's a continuation of the course that I attended few weeks ago. This time, the letter came in early, so at least I had some time to arrange my transport etc.

I drove all the way to Tawau. My longest drive ever! Think that Sandakan-Kinabatangan roads are horrible? Try driving in Lahad Datu's road. Gravel roads for quite a stretch because they are currently upgrading the roadworks there. Poor car.. I left Sandakan with a Granite Grey car, reached Tawau in a Muddy Grey car.

Having a car is super flexible! When I am at a new place, something that I will always do is to ask 'What are the food that are to die for here?!' and I did just that. The Tawau people recommended 'Pisang goreng cheese', 'pisang goreng penyet' and mango sago in this place called Indo Cafe. We were all excited to try out the food stated above.

Indo cafe is actually situated in town. With the help of a map drawn by Lili (thanks dear!), we managed to find it.

We ordered 2 sets of pisang goreng cheese and pisang goreng penyet, 2 avocado sago for Eva and Peter (Teachers from Lahad Datu) and one mango sago for myself. How was it? Let the pictures do the talking.

The ultimate banana fritters! Pisang goreng cheese - fried banana with cheddar cheese and brown sugar! To die for!

Pisang goreng penyet - not nice.. not our taste..

Avocado sago - very milky and 'eggy' according to Eva

Mango sago - yummy! Rich in mango taste.. smooth

We were banana-fied that night! We ate so many bananas till we're like super full! The entire meal cost us RM29. Then we went to Vincci! Tawau has a Vincci store! Me love!! Bought a pair of studded wedges.. was in love with it!

Well, trip for food in Tawau so far so good! I mean the food trip.. :P

More updates to come!

Unbelievable! *Gasp

Just want to share this video. I just downloaded it from my mail few days ago. After downloading it, didn't bother to check out the video until today.

As I was watching it, I was like 'What clip is this?' Until I saw the 'climax' of the video. I gasped loudly. What a freak accident!

Check it out before proceed reading.

Can you believe your eyes? Isn't that scary?! He seemed to be holding on to the thick cable absent mindedly without thinking that that cable is carrying gazillion voltage on it! He was immediately on fire! *shudder

Updates

Many things happened since I updated this blog. Currently started a very casual work. Earning RM50 per day. The work is quite flexible. Going to work according to my own time and leave around 4pm or later. Even my lunch time I took an hour and a half! My boss, she’s a nice lady although I have to do other tasks for her at times. But I guess it’s ok. So far so good. Now am having a week break, then gonna continue for two more days and I am back as one of the contributors to world’s unemployment rate.

I miss teaching a lot. Really hoped that my practical was longer, but of course minus the lesson plans! Time flies when you teach in school, get driven up the wall by the students, laugh at their remarks and quirks and of course preparing materials for lessons. I miss the laughter, the silliness and etc in schools. Miss the gossips and complaints that the teachers share in the staffroom. Argh! I miss school so much!

Got my results about a week back. I was shit scared because I know that my supervisor wasn’t too satisfied with my teaching. *Scratch head. I logged into the website to check my result, stared at the screen for a very long time, refused to click on the button ‘Result’ and Adrian was asking what did I get. He got an A and he damn well deserved it! Congrats da! Proud of you. Back to my part, when I clicked on it my result appeared – B+. I got a B+ for my practical. Honestly speaking, I was disappointed. I was thinking maybe I could at least get A-. Guess I looked too highly upon myself. My supervisor is damn strict with her marking, high expectations and super hard to please. Sigh. But one thing to cool me down was I am graduating with first class! Thank God the B+ I got didn’t affect my marks much. *Relieved

That’s all for now folks! I’ll update again asap!

Feeling Down..

Have you ever felt that you were just a step away from your dream, but in a split second it was snatched away? I am feeling exactly that way.

Maybe I am being too hard on myself...having high expectations towards myself. When I do not get what I intend to have, I am upset, disappointed and feel useless. Sigh..what am I supposed to do? Been thinking all the possibilities, all the why-s on why I did not get it. My brain is tired, I am feeling negative. Been bugging my boyfriend about it and i guess he's bored of my worries. Sorry da.

Well, I guess shit happens. I just have to get over it. Don't whine yeexinhoong. It will not help. Get a life!

I am Starting a Blog!

Yup...let’s see how long will I actually maintain this blog thing. Everytime when I am bored and have ample of time, I’ll start writing blogs. When I get busy with some other stuffs, I’ll totally forget about it. A very good example will be my Friendster blog. Hehehe..

Am currently unemployed. Jobless while waiting for my graduation which will be in August. Heard that the posting interview will be early June and posting should be done early September. Thus, I have at least, say 4 months plus to work. The problem is I am actually being lazy to find a job that will hire me for 4 months. I really wished I could just continue teaching in the school. Sigh..

Actually, I am interested in doing volunteering work. The first thing that came into my mind was SPCA. SPCA in Ipoh is located quite far from my place. But since I LOVE animals so much, I don’t really mind the distance. I talked to my parents about it and they were AGAINST me being a SPCA volunteer. :( To them, volunteer work should be done when I am able to earn money, sustain myself and bla bla bla. My mom went on and on about why don’t I volunteer myself to help do housework instead of helping in the animal shelter?! Sigh...the difference is that I have passion for animals and NOT housework. Well, I just had to forget about being a volunteer since I am still currently depending on my parents to feed me. It’s not like I am earning my own money. Even to go to SPCA I’ll have to drive my dad’s car. He will have to pump petrol for me, give me money for lunch etc. So I guess I really have to find a job.

What job?! I had my fair share of experience being in the food industry - being a waitress in Pizza Hut. Second working experience will be working in a clinic - learning about how one medicine has multiple functions to it. Learned a lot from both working experiences. Now, what should I try next? Clerk? Receptionist in a hotel? Or should I be a child tutor? I have no idea. Got to see what pays the highest and work the least! Hahaha....

Guess I will have to go job-hunting tomorrow! Wish me luck!
