Back after about a month.In case you're wondering about the link above, its an online "radio-station" that I got from my friend, J. In case you are interested, you need Winamp to access it. Just open "Winamp" and press control + L and copy and paste the link above into the window that pops up.
A quick shout-out to J, if you're reading this "Hey man!". I must have lost touch with him for months, a year probably - who knows. The last time I saw him was when I was still back in Melbourne. We saw each other online, chatted for abit, he wanted have dinner, and we went to Victoria Street to have Vietnamese while catching up on things.
So fast forward to 2 days back, I see him online again. Turns out he's online - but just kicking back and observing in IRC. So what do I found out after all this time of not being in contact? He's sold of his old car and gotten himself a Subaru Impreza STi v5. Lucky SOB!!!! Sorry J, you know I mean that affectionately :D
Here's a picture in case you're wondering what this lovely machine looks like. The rumble of the exhaust is truly one of a kind.
I assume his car is the standard Mica Blue (I think) with the gold rims, unless he's changed his car. So, it would look something like this beauty above. J, you're a lucky guy!
Anyway,last week was compeltely shitty. Where should I even begin? Let's start with the day when my stuff arrived from Melbourne. Yes, thanks to KE, I got back all my shit, XBOx, GameCube and the rest of my video games. Of course they packed in my Nikes, Timberland boots, my (one and only) suit, some clothes, 2 harddisks, some RAM chips, important documents, etc. Collecting my shit from the MAS cargo, damn....that's another story. To make a long story short, I wasted about 3 hours that Saturday just to collect my things!
Come Sunday morning. I was feeling so free with nothing much to do after breakfast. My itchy fingers decided to do something when I decided to install a secondary (slave) hard disk. My current PC had about 20 GB and I wanted to slap in the 30 GB one to replace the 20 GB one as the master. As my fucking luck would have it, the 20 GB harddisk got burnt. I was pissed, dad was irritating me and I didn't wanna bother any of my friends to ask them to come over with Windows on their CDs to do the formatting for me because I needed to format and re-install Windows. Had to send it to the shop in the end. Damage = RM 90 for something I could have done myself. What the hell was I thinking? I just needed to get a pirated CD. Oh hell, I was pissed and irritated. If only I didn't take out the harddisks, everything would be smooth sailing.
Went for an interview on Monday, software engineer. Was given a freaking test on Visual Basic 6 which I completely forgotten how to do. Too bad because the girl who interviewed me was also the Software Engineer there, she's not too shabby.
Then on Tuesday, went to Shah Alam for a 2nd "assessment test". Thought it was the interview I was supposed to go for for the Software Engineering re-skilling course. What the hell am I blabbing about? It's a 6 month classroom + 6 month industrial attachment course, fully funded by the Government. I'll get RM 500/month during the classroom segments and extra RM 300 during industrial attachment with the company. The perks were that we would be almost guranteed jobs once we finish with this.
The problem was the limited places. Only 40 were allocated while more than a 100 turned up on Open Day. That's why, interviews were postponed and we had to take 3 tests then. Back to Monday, upon arriving and expecting names to be called for interviews, we were all ushered into the Auditorium to listen to a speech. We were given numbers and a question sheet. Turns out we were given 3 days to complete a piece of software program! Shit - The worse thing was having to do the work entirely at the centre in Shah Alam. Went out and bought a reference book that afternoon. I was really desperate!
YES - that meant alot of travelling and waiting! Just like old times. So finally did the presentation on Friday. I can honestly say what I did in that 3 days was what took me a semester to do at Monash. Now that's crash course learning for you!
Today, I get a call from them telling me I've been shortlisted. Gotta be there on the 3rd of June for Open Day. Go me! Going back to school. Now, if only some hot chicks are there as well. :D
The weather has been an absolute killer. Only short rainfall yesterday afternoon. This hot and dry weather is expected to last till August. Fuck it - I need rain!
Social life's taken a backseat lately. Talked to JC online, might meet up this weekend for a drink. Was supposed to meet up with JT during the Labour Day holidays but didn't. Met up with the other guys from APIIT for a few games of pool at the Matrix in Phileo D'sara.
CG - ah...the lovely CG. No, I haven't forgotten you :) I have been meaning to contact you, SMS you at least, but I don't know why I just keep putting it off. If you read this, I hope you're alright. I promise you'll hear from me one of these days. That's a promise and my promises are as good as gold :)
Just had a look at the ol' x-entertainment site. Shit there's alot of catching up to do. I miss that site. Got to catch up on some reading pretty soon and I suggest you do the same. Go here - www.x-entertainment.com
Looks like its time to hit the sack. I initially planned to do something about people. Just an observation of mine. Perhaps I'm cynical. Might do that one some other time. Now its time to pull the blanket of darkness over my eyes and sail off to Dreamland.
