as the title suggest, i am finally going back to the study mode..
after 8 entire months.. 3 months of NS and 5 months of work!
yes, it had been that long since i last opened a text book..

friday, 20 February 2009 marks my last day of work..
i started the job as an clueless amateur on 23 September 2008..
5 months down the road, i have gained great experience! =)

to celebrate my farewell party.. *aww* i was touched!
they ordered from Pizza Hut, 4 pizzas and garlic bread..
and bought some food from the Malaysian Studies food fair,
namely nasi something, satay, keropok lekor and drinks!
oh, i so totally gained weight working there.. boo hoo~

all the 3 departments in Student Services,
were squeezing in our "pantry" - the storeroom right behind..
its size is just 3/4 of my bedroom!
just imagine having at least 20 full/part timers in there! o.O
cos IMU staff lounge is like 2 floors up, too far ma..

anyway, i tried to finish as much work as i could..
there were like 20 new applications that i have to key in..
thank god i have other part timers to do the phone calls!
and preparation for registration day for 300 students..
i am included in that list.. ^^V

to the following people that i met through out my working days,
thank you for your support, guidance and help!

Charmaine, Kak Dell, Kak Arnida, Boris, Hawa, Shien Ni,
Jamie, Huda, Naufal and Raj from Admissions..
it's gonna be one-man show for Charmaine,
hopefully Naufal and Raj can provide more help to her!

May Kuan, Jacinta, Kak Liza, Kak Khairun, Suganthi, Aznah,
Yee Yoon, Kelly and Mastura from Student Affairs..

Shu Shian, Kai Li, Su Yin, Kak Wati, Felicia, Kak Rafidah
and Stephanie from Marketing..

Kak Fahada, Kak Wan and Juliana from Finance..
lecturers i met during Open Day and Education Fairs..
the lovely CEO of IMU, Dr Mei Ling Young..

Valerie from the reception, abang who collects Pos Laju daily,
and Auntie Mee Choo who fetch me to work on most days! =)

oh, and not forgetting parents who gave me a hell of time..
prospective students who bugged me for nothing..
some were wonderful experiences, some no feelings,
the others were just pain in the ass! i know who you are!

so please do not call Admissions to ask for me,
they are just gonna reply you,
"she's no longer working here.."
thanks for saying you are gonna miss a good worker like me..
i really appreciate that and i am sorry for my past mistrakes too!

and to the seniors from Orientation Committee,
if you ever read my blog like you said..
you have already haunt me with your words yesterday:
"we are gonna get you during orientation!"

i asked the S.A.D. of who told you guys that i'll be you junior..
i intentionally did not want you guys to find out la..
since you already did, i hope you treat me the same as the rest!
anyway just to inform you, S.A.D. has my back..
and May Kuan says i can use her name if you bully me terribly!
don't forget who gave you the updated namelist for orientation..
it is me, it is i.. so i hope for a fair treatment ok? =)

and for those who don't know how IMU Orientation goes about..
you can always Google using the exact same words..
although the wildness of seniors have been tamed over the years,
i still have this phobia of those seniors' words..
but Orientation will be the best time in the university!

for the next 2 weeks, wish me luck!
for Dentistry, here i come! =)

Valentine's Day is a bit too over-rated, don't you think?
not that i am jealous that i do not have a boyfriend or anything..
i am currently happily single, not feeling the pressure yet! haha..

but i don't get the point of getting stuck in a shopping mall,
filled with many other lovey-dovey couples,
splurge on expensive meals and presents.. just for a day?
i mean if you really love/like your boyfriend/girlfriend..
shouldn't you be showing them your love/like everyday?
why go through all the hassle?
does it make any sense to you? not really to me.. =P

some people decided to marry on Valentines Day!

Lilian Too's advice on doing the mystic knot sign always works! =D

very attention grabbing ain't it? haha..

caught on act! blurred picture cos i was busy laughing.. haha..

oh my goodness, i stumbled across this link in Mun Ya's blog..
the explanation given is really like me.. haha..

you got to try it for yourself! *click click*
if you have nothing to post on your blog.. just cut and paste!

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth..
and people like you because you are so straightforward..
You are an efficient problem solver,
because you will listen to both sides of an argument..
before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties!

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. =D
You don't judge a book by its cover,
so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style.. *yup*
This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well..
before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships..
and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like.
If you meet the right person,
you will fall deeply and beautifully in love. *so romantic ah?*

Your views on education
Education is very important in life.
You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. *I WILL*

The right job for you:
You're a practical person,
and will choose a secure job with a steady income.. *Dentistry!*
Knowing what you like to do is important.
Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure.. *who isn't?*
and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have,
in case you don't succeed..
Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you.
This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people.
It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear!

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice.
People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues.
Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma..
when trapped with a problem!
which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.. *okay..*

this is quite a suitable title to describe me since yesterday..
ok, may be change it to one girl show.. haha..

i was really tensed and stressed up at work yesterday..
sorry, i realized i talk about work a lot recently..
but this is my blog and i have spent a lot of my time working..
so yeah.. bear with me ok? i must let my frustration out!!!

Admission Department was totally empty apart from me..
my boss Charmaine was out for a meeting for half a day..
by the time she came back, she added oil to the fire.. =P
Kak Dell has been on a long MC since CNY..
Huda took a 2 day leave and i totally forgot about it..
Naufal was still on his one week leave to settle his stuff..
and Sheah Lin can only come back to work on 23rd..
since the 3 part timers were not there to help..
i was basically left with the tasks alone.. boo hoo!

i had like at least 50 parcels, or "presents" as i always call them..
stacking up on my table to open yesterday..
it's like the return of tons of registration packages..
and god knows how many new applications were sent in..
all for MEEEEEEEEEEEE to key in.. o.O

i had to call this person and that person..
answer this phone call or that question from other colleagues..
update and query the statistics for never ending meetings..
mugged by more MPharm students who want their IDs..
get ready for interviews.. it's a Thursday remember?

i thank god i no longer need to do filing..
i am smart enough to leave it to my super seniors..
who are the newbies for the part-timing.. haha..
you must always start the job from the scratch right? =)

the only consolation was that i saw another 2 cute guys yesterday!
the one who came for the interview was so flawless.. gawd..
the other who came for enquiry was just so hot!
you see, that's why i am beginning to love and hate my job..
both at the same time! is like a dilemma.. *whacked*

luckily, another part timer started work today.. *phew*
it made me feel much more at ease..
lucky Raj! he got to do so many things on first day of work..
filing, to calls, to data entry.. so syok!
but he has to learn like really fast.. cos i am leaving next week!

my boss has to learn some things from me too..
for example printing offer letters and sending them out.. haha..
i don't think she has a clue about these stuff..
last time she went like: "Dell, we need to send out offers"
now she goes, "Meng Yean, can you print out the offer letters?"
my poor boss is so stressed too.. pity her la!
when i leave, she'll have to bear it all from head to toe.. =S

oh, and today was my lunch buddy's, Pei Wern..
the part timer from Academic Affairs last day of work!
i am so gonna miss her company and craziness.. aww..

anyway, work aside.. like finally~
see what my lovely girlfriends and cousin bought me?
they say it's for my birthday present wor..
but it's definitely way too early and too late for the nonsense..
that was like nearly a week ago..
so i shall just accept it as a gift for Valentines.. haha..

original FAHRENHEIT/飞轮海 latest album.. =D

look at the back cover.. my CHUN!!! *swoons*

it's the newer packaging.. with a DVD, a CD and lyrics!

how did you spend the last few days of CNY?
i have been having quite a few late nights lately..
and visits to the shopping malls are pretty frequent too!

just the other day i spent 4 days of salary in just 4 hours..
boo hoo~ i wonder should i cry or laugh?
swiping cards like there is no tomorrow.. *must stop la!*

anyway, i watched 2 movies.. both at Cineleisure..
with two different groups of people..
one with sis Lilyn, Felicia and Shien Ni..
the other with my high school gang.. =)

the first one is a chic-flick.. Bride Wars!

it was pretty entertaining.. best friend can be your worst enemy?!

but then again.. they are inseparable..
knowing you through the skin.. all the highs and the lows!

next was a midnight movie.. Pink Panther 2!

it was stupidly hilarious.. you'll laugh off the seat..
even a wedding can be quite a scene!

most of the characters speak in this weird French accent..
the only sane thing was that Aishwarya Rai looked gorgeous!

the main people: Sally, Hui Ting, Yun Xin and Shaun..

the SMKBU gang at Tony Roma's..

at my relative's house.. maybe the lion gave me "ONG!!!"

she says: "i am gonna grow up and look like her?"

Chinese New Year is still on going but the break is long over..
my past week have been utterly insane!
spending quite some time travelling, getting angpao, eating!

it's a very typical CNY celebration with extra $$$.. hehe..
here's some pictures for your viewing pleasure..

having my first CNY vegetarian meal at cousin Creamy's..

see how fast we grew up?

lion dance at my place during the 1st day.. we look overjoyed!

saw a circular shaped clouds on the clear blue sky.. 有圆? 有缘?
