I'm Home!!

 
Finally after being made to stay for an extra week and a half, I'm Home and glad that I am. Some people must be asking why I'm so anxious to come back and that I should stay there longer, enjoy it but then it would have been possible only if I had the time to do it.
 
Another reason why I wanted to come back early is because I needed to talk to my parents regarding my urge to go back to studying life. Closing date for applications are at the end of next mth so if I dun start seriously sitting down with my parents and discussing then it would be too late.
 
Anyway I'm glad to be home but sad also that I had to leave cause I had a good time just spending time with MunHing and the rest in Aussie. Really appreciated the time they took out to bring me out for dinner and just making my stay better. If it wasn't for them then I think my stay would have been crap.
 
Below I have included a link to pictures of my final day in Melb so feel free to look at it.

Sadness

 
Just found out that my cousin, Laurence Poh passed away peacefully early Sunday morning. He died of pancreatic cancer. Currently as I write this I am saddened by it and really wish I was back in Ipoh with the family.
 
Although my relationship with my cousin was not to say the closest but we have had good times. He was a wonderful person with a wonderful family. He will be greatly missed. I pray that the family would stay strong and that rely on each other through this day.
 
Please do pray for his family and also that he is at peace knowing that he was surrounded by everyone he loved. Thanks ppl.

Weekend

 
Finally after 2 and half weeks in Melbourne I have the weekend off. And what if I have the weekend off, I still ended doing nothin much. 
Sat I went to chapel and met up with Jenson and then went to Richmond to just walk around. Bought a few tshirts and just hung out with Jen. The nite was a quiet one. Stayed home and just watch tv while drinkin a few glass of wine.
 
Today woke up 9 and proceeded to St Kilda beach to stroll along the art market. Quite a few stalls selling hand made trinkets and some other products. Victoria Market was the nxt stop and was suppose to meet pooi yan but she ffk me. Luckily Jenson who was in town called up and we went there together. Bought some tourist-sie stuff ie magnet's, koala bear stuff etc... Bought some donuts as well which would make any sugar tooth person on cloud 9 as they donuts where filled with jam and covered with loads of sugar.. what a sugar rush? *yum*
 
Not sure what is up tonite but I think I would just be home alone again. Not much to do. Might call up kenneth. See how..Anyway thats all for today.

ScrewedUp

 
When I first arrived in Melb, I was told that it is a 3 week go-live project when normally it would take 2-3mths preparation before it normally happens. Not only that I was not told that this was a go-live project at all. I got so pissed off that my manager mislead me into thinking so but I had to get on with work cause I still have a job to do.
 
So for the last 2 and half weeks, my colleague and I have been workin our ass to make sure we will make the deadline. Late nites.. workin weekends... whatever it takes although I was not a happy chap.
 
Well yesterday after working thru the day, there were some problems and then there was a meeting. Guess what.. they have decided to bloody delay this project and due to that I dunno whats my current situation. No one has come back to tell me what is happening and i'm lost. If they bloody planned everything nicely in the first place, this would not have happened. I've told them numerous times of the probs with the hardware but no one would listen to me. I'm just small lil Alvin from Malaysia that will do whatever I am told to do. Bloody hell, if they listened to me this would not have happened. Screw this company... SSA SUX!!!!

Next Blue

 
Went out to a club called Next Blue yesterday cause didn't have to work today. So bloody happy cause I really needed the day off. Went with MunHing and Natasha, Warren and Bernice, CK, Ah Kin, Anne, Sheila, Chai Ling and Golf (I think that is the way she speel it... she's thai). Met up with Glenn there as he is the manager there so we got in free.
 
The club plays R&B which is not really my cup of tea nowadays but as it was Asian Nite and it is more of the company than the place. One thing for sure is the chicks were all around. There was even a lesbain strip show as one of the patron's was having a stag nite. Free show... No need to go Bar 20 a strip club anymore. Nothin to shout about but at least free... HAHAHAAH
 
In my life I have asked a girl I only just met for a contact once and she didn't give to me. This time it happened to me again. There was this Jap waitress, wow... i think she is cute and manage to take a picture with her with the help from Glenn and Bernice but when I build up the guts to actually ask her for her contact (used the excuse that I want to send her a copy of the pic..keke), she gave me a general email from the club. Actually requested for her private email but she was sayin something which I couldn't hear as the music was quite loud and didn't give it to me..How depressing? Found out from Elish (oh yea bumped into her there. She was with her bf and another friend, Shannon another cun chick...this one I didn't manage to take a pic with...hahahaha) that the girl whose name is Fusako is single and being chased by a lot of guys... Wanted to make a friend only mah....haiiii
 
Anyway will put up the pictures online soon so look forward to that. Time for bed. Have to wake up at 7. Nitez ppl

Pissed off!!

 
Was just told that I won't be leaving this weekend. Was expecting it already but didn't expect to be told that I would be here until early nxt mth. Am very pissed off with my boss for practically lying to me. Promised me that I will be here for 2.5 weeks and I would be only applyin bug patches but now I am being extended till nxt mth and doing more than I am doing now. Worse is when I asked my boss she said too bad and I had to just do it. What is this? This is not a way to do things... No wonder more and more ppl are leaving the company.
 
Oh two more just gave in their resignation last week. Wish I could just drop everything and resign as well. Now really considering going back to my studies. Will have to go back and have a long talk with my parents.
