Life after convo

its already the 31st of August.. 10 days after my convocation, i'm here stuck in penang again..but thank god i dun need to wait for another 1 whole month to go home for this time around..next week can go home on thursday..thanks to Hari Raya..hehe..last week was a tiring 1.. worked for the whole week.. no rest day for me.. most of the time worked til 7 something.. then dinner around 8pm.. its indeed very tiring..but at least i know my works will be completed before Hari Raya..yeah!! after Raya will be doing Testing and Commissioning..then can leave penang lo.. by the way, life after convo is still the same.. still dull.. but at times challenging especially while at work at site.. i've been losing weight this few months.. getting slimmer.. i've spent all my pay for the previous 2 months..but at least can start saving money this month.. i'm not overspending..just that i've got alot of expenses even before i started working.. glad that i've settled all my debt to my mum...i mean financially la..i will never manage to repay my debt to her.. my convocation is actually very enjoyable.. can meet with friends.. took some photos and update abit about life after graduation.. back to my work.. i seriously think that human skills is utmost important..technical skill is really not that significant.. what is the point of having a strong technical skill but the person who is implementing it doesn't listen to you.. hopefully this sunday dun need to work lo..i really 1 a day off la.. although i've rest today.. and my new "activity" during weekend when i'm not working is strolling to tesco extra near my hostel and buying junk food.. although i dun buy cheap junk food.. i spent less than rm50 per month on that.. i'll try to reduce that la.. spending on junk food is not good at all.. and most important is i can instead save the money for my 3 meals.. looking forward to going out with mum on next Friday and os on next Saturday which is on her bday.. if there is time..i would like to go yum cha with my friends too.. see how lo.. very excited to go home on next Thursday la..haha..

monday blues?

its again another monday.. although there is oni 11 days left before i can go home.. i dun know y i'm suddenly so emo.. really wanted to go home now.. but of course i can't.. my convo is on next saturday.. so no matter wat.. i need to tahan til next thursday.. cannot tahan also must tahan.. being poor is not fun at all.. just because of money.. i dun have any freedom.. it seems like i sold my life to my company.. i can't really decide on my life now.. the oni thing i can decide is on which week of the month do i 1 2 go home.. but that is limited to once for each month..if i'm a rich kid then it would be sooo good.. even if i need to work til 6pm on saturday..i can just drive to the airport and buy a ticket on the spot.. the price is not a problem if i'm rich la.. then every weekend also can go home.. then this job will bring me satisfaction.. i can learn things that is not taught in the uni by working in this company..indeed, there is alot that can be learned by working in this company.. alot of exposure.. and maybe mental endurance is also a form of "training" here.. need to endure the slight pressure which might accumulate everyday and on top of that.. when in weekend.. another form of pressure hits me badly..i misses home alot.. although i din really spend time with my family when i'm at home during my student life..but i enjoy their presence.. i feel peace and comfortable.. here is all bad.. its not that the collegue here is very bad or wat.. even if they are really bad i won't care.. i couldn't care less.. all i want is the peaceful and comfortable feeling i have at home which its very obvious i can't get it here (penang).. while in penang, even when there is nothing to do, i seldom stay in the site office.. i rather go and take a walk aorund the construction site and maybe find some1 to have a small chat about the progress and things like that.. last time this method works in making the time passes quickly.. but nowadays it tends to be useless.. no matter how many time i walk around the construction site.. the time passes really slow.. i have walked the whole site just now. and its just 12.10pm.. my subcon will b coming to work after lunch time.. hopefully they will make some significant progress.. or at least work til 5pm so that i dun need to think of ways to kill time.. i'm so hopeless..haiz..

ok.. its the 3rd month of my working life.. i'm less emo now and most of the challenging prob is solved.. i mean, up to this point la.. in construction, everyday sure got prob..just a matter of big prob or small prob.. got my 2nd month of pay.. finally managed to repay the debt to my mum..and luckily still left some to survive.. relieve.. and this month is also quite meaningful as this will be the last month for my probation.. if nothing goes wrong.. i will be a permanent staff and of course my pay will be revised as well..hehe.. i'm back to money oriented edi.. the real me..nyek nyek.. but today i regretted something.. i might have been a little emo when i was called to the site to settle a prob.. its like this 1.. last week i asked the ceiling guy to cut open 8 big holes for me so that once the aircond is on site..i can ask the people to install it..tot the prob have been solved since i dun need to ask the ceiling guy to help anymore..he even asked me whether i'm really confirmed.. he won't allow any changes.. then after 1 week.. which is today.. i received a call from my senior asking me to go to that affected place.. when i reach there.. they say they need to install lighting where i cut the holes for my aircond.. being the hot tempered me.. of course angry lo.. last week dun 1 2 say.. now 1 2 install oni say.. furthermore, i followed the drawing.. so i'm thinking..wtf.. the resident engineer for electrical then said, tolongla.. haiz.. am really angry..but wat to do, then i say oklo.. i shift.. but who is going to ask the ceiling guy to settle the prob.. the ceiling guy sure will get angry and for sure will extra charge us.. but the resident engineer say he will settle for me la.. then i ma oklo.. since he is willing to take the responsibility and ask the ceiling guy to open another 4 holes for me.. however..i will go and settle the things with him as i dun 1 the position of the holes that i have intended is made at the wrong place..then more sanfu.. and back to y i regretted for getting angry without 1st analyzing the prob and talk with an open heart.. maybe i'm just too frustrated at that moment la.. coz my things all settle edi.now say need me to shift.. now i learnt another lesson.. whenever any prob arise.. dun get angry 1st.. take a deep breath and think how to settle the prob.. in the end, both of us also 1 to finish our job oni ma.. really feel sorry now for being angry with that resident engineer although i didn't shout or speak loudly..but my face is obviouly angry lo.. i am so sorry mr resident engineer (i mean electrical 1, the mechanical 1 sucks.. always lecture me and repeat the same thing again and again).. 19th aug go home lu.. 3 more weeks..hehe.. now earn money and settle as many prob as possible 1st.. so that can go home without worrying about work..
