bla bla blaAaaaa...

mag is in sydney for a week on a holiday and i am bored!!

hmmm...lets see, i heard that U2 might be performing in NZ again and this time it would and hopefully be in wellington! woohooo

i have 2 concerts to go to this year too...one is black eyed peas in october and the other one is greenday in december. better see them before i don't have anymore chance to see them later. really regretted not going to matchbox20 and coldplay so this time i won't miss these concerts even i have to fly up to auckland to watch them.

currently i'm really psyched up and excited to go home. been really great catching up and talking to ppl at home about me coming back. i don't have much planned but at least i'm looking forward to chinese new year and also the super duper cheap flights from air asia.

have a trip to krabi booked and also 2 trips down to singapore. the tickets are so CHEAPP!!! if any of you planning to go back..you guys better buy some of these tickets. i nearly wanted to go everywhere!! cambodia, vietnam, laos, thailand, hong kong & china!! but luckily i stopped myself from buying all these tickets because eventhough i can afford the flights but i might not be able to afford accomodation and activities for the trip. furthermore i don't plan to look for a job when i'm back. maybe work part time or something like that as i have some dreams and plans to work on! wanted to make it a reality! fingers crossed! =P

honesty or stupidity..

i think it was definitely a confident booster that someone wanted to hire me..

but it was stupid on my part for being so honest to the employer..i think i should have lied and told him that i'll be working long term...but not so good lar...feel guilty if i did..not so fair for him..since initially i planned to go back home for good..BAHH!!

anyway i went for another interview for the current role that i'm working at as a temp. my colleague is going on maternity leave so they are hiring...but it didn't went that well though..

so...due to my stupidity/honesty...i got a good feeling that i'll be jobless soon...haha..

anyway after much thinking over the weekend about job opportunities and my future in nz, i decided to follow my heart. and home is where the heart is. so going back for good.. looks pretty good right now. haha =)

isn't this ironic? don't u think?

ever since i moved to wellington last year i have been looking for a job related to my degree.

but without any luck. until now...6 more months before i head back to malaysia for good since prospects of staying here is not very good.

saw this ad about a job i like and decided to apply for fun. and who da hell would have known i was asked to go for an interview? so i happily agree to go for the interview and the back of my head i already know what the outcome of the interview will be: another failed attempt.

but wait. hell no. it was more like a job offer. i went to meet up with the manager and he was quite nice. we went to a cafe and had coffee. he told me what he wanted me to do, what are my tasks and projects and told me about the pay and everything. it wasn't like a interview at all. more like go and have coffee and tell me more about myself. by the way besides the experience, skills and a good reference from my ex-supervisor, he actually remembered me. he remembered me because this is the 3rd time applying for a job at his place. talked about
persistence and patience..haha..

so what i'm trying to say now is ...my headache begins...

the big question is..should i stay or should i leave?

the main reason for me going back to malaysia is family and friends. but i do have plans as well when i'm back at malaysia. maybe look for a job to fund my travels(japan/europe) and eventually coming back to nz to study for a year and excel in my new career. (something super exciting and also dangerous..don't ask me what but i got my mother's approval..haha)

if i do take the job, my plans might be put on hold and i will be away from my family and friends. i might be all alone here but i can further my career in a job that is related to my degree. the pay might be better and working conditions are better as well.

i just talked to my mom and aunt for like an hour seeking advice. but at the end of the conversation, they are very supportive in whatever i do and told me to do what i want. it is all up to me.

what should i do? what should i DO!

after all that is said, i know the final decision is all entirely up to me. but what if i make the wrong decisions? there is something in me telling me that i'm running out of time. i have so many things that i want to do and i feel if i delay them any longer i might forget about them and eventually be sucked into the boring cycle of working life behind a desk just doing what i need to do to survive. i want to live. i want to be happy i want to live life to the fullest. i want to see the world and push my limits and boundaries.

help!! what should i do?

face recognition software 2.0

i realised that i have a gift...at least that is what i think..

not a super special one.. but i can remember faces and people really well..even if i have only met them once..or seen them somewhere in town or some place ..or work with them for a short time..

i seem to be able to remember their faces really fast and be able to say roughly where and when i saw them...haha..crazy right..but most of the time i won't be able to say hi because they won't even remember me..i'll go like:

i worked with him for a day before.
she works at that restaurant.
i saw him today at this shop.

hahaha..sound abit like stalker liao.. maybe me i like to observe people that is why..see how they act and react..maybe i should join the police or something.

and with the power of internet these days, you can practically track down or find any little tiny info on anyone..amazing and scary at the same time..but this is the world we live in these days..
