MTP site visits!!!

As you know, (if u don't well now u know :p) I'm now a Management Trainee in Sime Darby. So for the first two weeks, we had site visits and also team building camp.

I would like to talk about the Site visits that I went to. It was awesome!
we went to all 6 divisions tho I won't be talking about all 6. booosan nanti. hahaha.

Plantation: we went to sime darby plantation and I got to see up close how the buah kelapa sawit looks like and hold it. ok, for the record, i always see this sime darby plantation sign by the road side yea. and yes i do know it's all palm trees. oil palm but i've never got to hold the huge big fruit before. so it was cool. we also visited the refinery, their R&D and the mills. the smell is a bit funky tho at the refinery. gave me a slight headache. haha. bet the people who work there are all immune to the smell.

Motors: at motors, daaaammnnn it was freaking cool. So we heard a rumor that we will be going to visit Porsche but then the bus dropped us off in front of Hyundai instead. we were quite sad about that. then one of us asked the guy who was giving the presentation at Hyundai whether we're goin to Porsche and he said "what?! nooo. u are not. just hyundai." then his boss came in and blurted out "when are they going to porshe?" hahahahha he was like winking like crazy to ohis boss but too late! we knew we were heading to Porsche after that. everyone got all hyped up about it after that. at Porsche, we all wanted a test drive but we couldn't. so we thought, fine at least we got to go to porsche and check out all the bad ass cars. then after the presentation at porsche, we had a tour around and we were told to go to the pre-delivery inspeciton area 2 km away. then the woman in charge told us that there's 2 cayenne and one panamera here, choose

which car u want to ride in and we're good to go. we were all speechless like.. wait.. what did she say. so i asked her "are u serious?" and she was like YES. woot!!!! ahahahaha. i got into the cayenne S and on the way back i rode in the panamera. obviously we didn't get to drive the cars but good enough!!! porsche road trip! hahaha. we felt sooooo cool. :p

Industrial: at industrial, another awesome experience!!! I got to drive a Wheel Loader!!! i don't have the picture me driving it, cause it's with the HR lady but this is a wheel loader.

voila! hahah i was super excited to drive this big baby. felt sooo happy after that.

So, that's it. right now i'm in my first job rotation with Sime Darby Industrial under Tractors Material Handling. haven't started work yet as when i came in they were about to for their own team building camp, so i had to join (i just got back yesterday, it was beyond awesome) but that i shall save for another post, a whole different story! I'm super tan now. anyhoo, tomorrow will be the first day of working life!!!! woot!!!

GANBARIMASU!!!!!

p/s: really need to get some pictures!!! all words and no interesting pictures are making me feel bored with my own blog. :(

As for me, I had my own memorable moment on the 11th of Novermber 2011 too!!!
I signed my job offer letter!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't realise it till i was about to sign it. I said to the guy who happened to be in the same programme as me that OMG, WE'RE SIGNING THIS ON 11.11.11!!!!!
How cool is that?!?!?! and he just replied with a "yeaaa. this is history." cam erm... why do i not see any exclaimation marks going on here. hahahahah.

the visit

The title of this blog post sounds like a title of a short story yes?

hahahahah.

Anyhoo, one of my close friends from the UK came to Msia for a visit. Her mom is a Malaysian so she came down to visit her relatives here. I am sooooo excited to meet her in Malaysia!!

Eventhough we met up for only a few hours, I was just so happy to see her in person! and not via skype or msn. I miss my life in UK so so much. I miss how independent i was there, the freedom that i have and also the safeness i had in lancaster. It's soo different now that I'm back home. haih.
Having a fren from UK to visit me was just something i needed. I won't be going back to england anytime soon but a little bit of england came to visit me. :) bliss! Thanks Louise! It was great seeing u!

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab

I've never tried eating soft shell crab before. Well mainly cause I'm kinda allergic to seafood.
BUUTTTT, there comes a time when one just have the urge to try eating it and then take their medication. HEHE.

So, I went to Full House at Sunway Giza a few weeks back and ordered their Deep fried soft shell crab for starters. 3 soft shell crabs were served. you see, these type of crabs are not big so it's fine as starters. It was really good!! it was crunchy and even the shell, it kinda melts in your mouth after the first bite! it's really good. I didn't take a picture of it cause well, i was so in to it that i forgot to snap some pics. It's served with a tiny bowl of wasabi mayonaise. I'm not really a fan of wasabi but the wasabi taste wasn't that strong anyway. It was good.

I love Full House's deep fried soft shell crab! will definitely go there and order em again!

I AM FINALLY GOING TO STEP INTO THE REAL WORLD! hahaha.
Well, most people say that when you start working, that's when you experience the real world.

WORKING LIFE.

I went through all 4 stages and passed them all :D Alhamdulillah.
It's a 6 months programme more or less like a probation period and after that, hopefully I'll be in a department that likes me and I like them too. hehehe.

I am super excited!!! a tad nervous too. I can't wait to start on something new and make new friends! wheee~

here I go again!

SOOOO, here's the thing. Every now and then I will have a phase where I'll get obsessed with a certain artist. HEHE.
It all started when I had a major crush on Bi Rain after watching him in Full House. This was during my college period. In college, I even had a presentation which I talked about him. We were free to pick on whatever we want to talk about during the english class okaayy. ;)
Then it died out cause well yea, he kinda change his persona and all. badan dah mcm badan ninja turtle cam eewww tak perlah tak suka dah.

Then I watched this Korean movie called Seducing Mr. Perfect which stars Daniel Henney.
So I had a Henney phase near the end of college period which lasted till I went to England for further studies. Had his picture on my wall and one of my friends went to watch Wolverine, came back and asked me, u know that guy who acted as the policeman in Wolverine, is he the same guy on your wall? HAHAHA. YESSSSSS! :p

Then during my first year, i started to watch Japanese movies and boy bands. SO i got obsessed with ARASHI. when I went to my 2nd year, no more asian phase. Got all drooly over all them european hotties in uni and also models that my fren showed me. So that made me widened my perspective and no longer attracted to korean or japanese guys that much. hahaha. That lasted till the end of uni life.
Suddenly i came back to Msia, my mom watches korean drama everyday so i've got not choice but to watch it too if i were to watch the tv. And MTV or other music channel have kpop going on every now and then. I started to watch the KBS channel, their entertainment shows are so funny. i love watching Lets go Dream team!, Gag Concert and Star King. they never fail to make me laugh. one fine day i happened to watch this music video starring G-Dragon and T.O.P. with their song High High. and now i have an obsession with T.O.P.

People, meet Choi Seung-Hyun or better known by his stage name, T.O.P.

he's no longer platinum blonde but has brownish hair now. He looks so good with platinum blonde! brown hair suits him well too! actually, whatever the hair colour is. He can pull it off! He's such an eye candy!!!! SUUUUKAAAAAA!!!!!!! :p

nothing to dooooo... ?

"guilty as charge" the jobless girl.

hehehe. well, I've been chillaxing (i.e. chilling and relaxing).. drive around. go out with frens when some of them are free. most of them are either working or still studying. so lonely here pls!!! boo~
I've got an interview this Friday and next week I've got two interviews to go to. Those two are both the 3rd stage interview process for the respective companies and boy am i not looking forward to that! I'll be tiiiireeeddd. 3rd stage interview will be half a day. Must sleep early and be as energetic as possible ey!

after the 3rd stage interview then comes the last stage of interview which is being interviewed by the executives. getting a job nowadays is so difficult. macam2 stage kena attend. but i guess, no pain no gain! :|

Wish the best for my interviews okay? thank youuu!!! hehehe.

Oh, i almost forgot, I went to watch a musical theatre called ...

yes, The Secret Life of Nora. It was awesome! It was very lively! I love it when i watch a musical theatre and the songs just makes me wanna get up and dance :) got me all jiggy with it. hahahaha. It was vibrant with all the lights and colours! the actors were great! I would have to say the guy who acted as Sharif, Aaron Khaled has great talent! he was really good! the other casts were good too definitely! with Adibah Noor with her powerful voice and Aznil Nawawi never fails to crack up some laughter. Datin Tiara really did a great job in this musical. Two thumbs up!!! :D

till then, xoxo!
