The weekend

*Title edited because I didn't really talked about 27 June*

Well that's my work tag.
I took the photo just now
coz I was dolled up.

First of all,
I wanna say thanks to ya'll for the "like"s for my previous post.
It's good to know that people read my blog.

Anyway,
I worked from Friday to Sunday (yesterday)
as a flyer girl.
Well that's what the ad said,
but I totally was more of a promoter/flyer girl.

It was a fun job anyway.
Met a few nice people.
Saw a few cute guys.

Since it was in Penang Pisa (island part)
and I'm from Butterworth
(refer to previous post for most explanation)
I had to cross the Penang bridge twice per day.

Somehow,
the Penang bridge has this magical power over me.
If I drive according to the speed limit (70-80km/h)
I feel like dozing off.
It just seems slow....
70km/h seems like 40km/h on the bridge.
The other cars keep zooming past me....

So when I came back yesterday night
I decided to break the rule
and drove 90km/h (for a strech of the bridge).

And took a picture.
(no police reading my post I hope)

Pretty badass huh.
wth.

Anyway
they should increase the speed limit man.
Unless they meant 70km/h is the minimum speed.

NO ONE DRIVES BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT!!!

Back to my job.

It was a home deco sorta fair.
Perfect livin '11.

The picture above
is not where I worked.
It's the arena part.
I worked upstairs.
Where the decorations stalls are.

As you can see,
the arena part is more of a electric devices part.

I didn't take any pictures of my stall.
Coz i'm a bad blogger. =p

Anyway
I worked for a wall sticker company.
The wall stickers are imported from Korea
and my boss is Korean.

FYI:
Wall sticker is different from wall paper.

Wall paper is a very huge piece of sticky paper that you stick on the whole patch of wall.

Wall sticker on the other hand,
is only a few small pieces of stickers with nice design
and you stick on
whatever surface you like.

Being the typical me,
I bought two stickers.

This one's kinda blur but you get the idea.
It's the lamp post.

Check out their website if you're interested.

First time I got paid on the spot.

Feels nice to be not broke.
wth.

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~
p.s.
For those who've done plastic surgery to widen your eyes,
do you have a wider view after the surgery?

Just wondering......

Quotes- Pablo Picasso

Voila.
Unrelated vain photo.


I watched a film named "L'Âge de raison".



It's about a career driven woman who receives a special package on her birthday.


She thought she had everything she wanted,
until she read all the letters in the package. 


She wrote letters to her future self when she was 7,
and asked a man to send it when she reaches a certain age.


Anyway,
the 7 year old her sent her letters
and led her back to herself.


What I want to say is,
there's one quote in the movie.
"Deviens qui tu es."- Pablo Picasso


Some translations might be different. 


It's kinda contradicting.
How do you become who you are?


Sometimes we get driven away by life
and commitment, expectation, etc,
we loose ourselves.
We forget who we really are
or who we wanted to become.


Take a step back.
Is this what you want?
If yes,
good for you.


You've become who you are.


I searched for this quote,
and well since the film is in French,
the quote came out in French.


I don't know what language Picasso used when he said this,
but I found a list of his quotes,
and I find Picasso a humorous man. 


Here's a few humor quotes:
«Le travail est nécessaire pour l’homme. Il en a inventé le réveil-matin.»


"Work is necessary for man(kind). They invented the alarm clock."


 «La jeunesse est la période où l’on se déguise, où l’on cache sa personnalité. C’est une période de mensonges sincères.»


"Youth is the phase when one disguise oneself, when one hides the personality. It's a 
periode of sincere lies."


«Les ordinateurs sont inutiles. Ils ne savent que donner des réponses.»
"Computers are useless. They know nothing but (giving) answers."


And here are some normal guide to life quotes:
«Dans chaque enfant il y a un artiste. Le problème est de savoir comment rester un artiste en grandissant.»


"There's an artist in every child. The problem is to know how to stay an artist while growing up."


«J’essaie toujours de faire ce que je ne sais pas faire, c’est ainsi que j’espère apprendre à le faire.»


"I always try to do the things that I don't know how to do, in this way I hope I learn how to do it."




Well the English translations might be inaccurate because they're done by yours truly.


If you have time,
Do look up on quotes.
You never know where you'll find laughter.
=)


that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~


p.s. I went for a job interview yesterday.


It's an online game's company,
and I like the working environment a lot.
A LOT.
They wear t-shirt and jeans to work!!!
Totally my type of working environment. 


^___________^

Leave home

Let's start with a vain pic.

This is home.
Well part of it.
If you've chatted with me on Chatroulette,
this may look familiar.

Anyway,
I had breakfast with my mom one morning,
and (I have no idea why) I asked her how did she end up in Butterworth.

[This part might sound confusing,
you can choose to skip,
I wouldn't know]

For those who don't know,
Butterworth is a (not so) small town in Pulau Pinang aka Penang.

When people ask me where I'm from I usually say Penang.

For those who don't know,
Penang (the state) is made out of two parts:
the island (which is also called Penang) and the mainland part, aka Seberang Prai.

I'm from the mainland part,
but I always say "Penang" as the answer to "where are you from".

When I say Penang I mean the state,
not the island.



[End of possible confusion]

Anyway,
my mom is from Kedah
the state next to (well it's actually around) Penang.

She left home for the same reason as a whole lot of other people: to find a job.
She left her small(er) town and came to Butterworth,
with a friend who's not really friend.
She was her neighbor and she just came with her and a bag.

Talk about courage.

She didn't even have a job when she came.

I'm glad that she was brave.

If not,
you won't have this cute, adorable and pretty girl here typing away for you right?

Ok,
whatever.

My point is,
we shouldn't be afraid to leave home.
I know it's our comfort zone,
but people mature faster when they're out there in the wild.

I got a job interview in Selangor (another state which is approximately 4 hours away).
I'm ready to just leave and start a whole new life there.

I'm ready to leave,
because you never know where and when will you find your future.
Future career, future life, future..... husband?
Why not take a leap.

I am ready to get out of Butterworth.
Are you ready to leave home?

Let's go somewhere only we know.

Ok,
let's go KL.
I wanna watch MASUM.
=P

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. Is UPM considered KL?

Chatroulette

It's a website.

You randomly chat with anyone who's on it.
with your webcam on.
It's not dangerous
unless you give out too much information.

But you might bump into weird/disgusting stuff.

Like dicks and boob.
Ok, I know guys will be like
"wtf are you talking about?! Penises Boobs aren't disgusting!!!"

Well I'm not a guy.

wth.

I was bored,
still job hunting and all..

Proof that I'm bored--
I'm watching taiwanese drama. wth.

《最后决定爱上你》

Well people who know me well knows that I don't watch taiwanese drama.
Coz they're lame and the story line changes once in a blue moon,
kinda like korean drama.

Anyway,
I went on Chatroulette.

It was my first time yesterday.
Didn't know what to expect,
but totally didn't expect dicks wth.

I met a few nice people.
You know those normal types with clothes and pants on,
and don't ask you for striptease or to flash your boobs.

Met a few people who could speak french to me.
So it was nice.

Even met a few cute guys. *wink*

Basically it's a place to know people from around the world,
thought most of them are from USA and Germany.

The first decent guy i chatted with was from Spain,
then 2 or 3 from France,
2 from India,
and 4 or 5 from USA.

But I think most of the people there (most)
are somehow looking for some relationship or to get laid,
coz once the girls see me,
they next me.

Can't we just chat? >____________<

Anyway,
if you'd like to take a risk
but get to know nice people from around the world,
try chatroulette.

It's not the nicest website to visit,
but it's a risk that I'm wiling to take.

besides,
how often do you get to see 20 different dicks in one night's time?

Kidding.

I just have to end with a picture of mine.
Meh. Vanity is my game.

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au revoir~
p.s.
There are nice people on chatroulette. You just have to see past all the weirdos. Good luck and have fun.

Bkk Day 4- The Sight-seeing Day / The SS Day / The Bags Day

The visit to The Grand Palace.

In front of the ticketing counter,

the soldiers marched pass.

Shiah looks grumpy here.

Probably because there was sun and rain at the same time.

The bells at the top

(look closely and you'll see them)

make a very nice tinkling sound.

 The side of the Grand Palace.

 The Grand palace with the ball shaped trees.
The trees make this place look like Disney Land.
(Not that I've been to any Disney Land before........)


No comment about the Grand Palace.
I don't wanna offend anyone. =P


Entrance fee is 350baht
for 3 places.


But we only went to the palace.


(because we were the auntay gang.)
Every 5 minutes of walking we have to sit down somewhere.
=p
Or whenever we see somewhere to sit
we'd automatically walk towards that direction.


But you know what,
we can't be blamed.
It was scorching hot that day,
and before the sun climb out from behind the temple,
it was drizzling.
Poor other auntays..


(Aunties are probably fitter than us.)


Anyway,
if you like to admire building structures,
museums,
temples,
you should visit the place.


After the Grand Palace,
we went to see the reclining Buddha.

The ferry to the Grand Palace is 14 bahts.
We walked to the temple of the Reclining Buddha a.k.a Wat Pho.
(Quite far actually, especially under the sun.)


Note:
Remember to wear sleeved t-shirts and long pants.
Sandals are fine.


If you don't wear those you can actually borrow them from the temples.
(But they might look weird, floral print and all)


Next,

 Showing off the ring. I LOVE it.


Bought at Platinum mall, 5th floor,
You can mix any 3 things for 35 bahts.


Nails done at Platinum mall
(mentioned in previous post)
It looks nice from afar.


T-shirt from Platinum mall
150 baht.
We bought 6 (I think) in total
so they gave "discount"
it was 200 baht each.


Earings from MBK.
25 baht each.
Again,
if you buy more you can ask for discount.
We bought 3 pairs,
so the stall keeper gave us discount.

There. Those pics should explain the second part of the post title.


Moving on,
After the temple,
we went to MBK (mall).


The stuff there were NOT cheap.
Price wise.


EXCEPT
the bags.


The bag shops seem to be on sale at the same time when we were there.


Nothing else was worth a buy,
because it was the same price as Malaysia stuff.


The DVDs are quite affordable,
but I didn't buy any.
I prefer my external.


MBK is quite near to Siam Paragon and Siam Center.
We walked there by the overhead bridge.
Siam Center and Siam Paragon are connected.


FYI,
Siam Paragon is equivalent to Pavilion KL.
Just bigger and more exquisite.
but a lot less crowded.


Students, tourists, families, couples,
you name it, they have it.


One thing that keeps catching our attention
was the students' uniforms.


Some of them wore long, beggy, over-the-knee skirts
some wore tight (when I say tight I mean panty-line-obvious-tight) pencil skirts and high heels.


Finally we figured out that 
the tight pencil skirts are for university students.


I don't know how I would react if I went to study in Thailand.


Anyway,


That was considered our last day in Bkk.
The next day we just took breakfast and went to the airport,
no pictures,
so not gonna write a post about that.


Conclusion for the whole trip?
Total for transportation : 335   baht +-
Total for food                 : 1117 baht +-
Total for clothing            : 940   baht +-
Total for other stuff         : 964   baht +-
Total for entrance           : 650   baht +-
Total for services           : 450   baht +-
Total for bags                 : 959   baht +-
Total for misc                  : 1001 bath +-


Total for experience, memories and lotsa love : Priceless. ♥


Next trip? Bali? 


Krabi? Sabah? Hong Kong? Taiwan? The moon?
Let's start saving. 


Yes, I'm talking to myself.


that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~


p.s. Had a great day today. How was your weekend?
