Je n'aime pas, c'est triste

Bonjour!

Il fait pluie

Oh how i love the rain, yes, it is raining in Malaysia (as if that's not normal). It is a lovely day here today and I woke up, took a shower and read some blogs, that is my norm these days. It's either browsing through the world wide web, or playing the sims. (That explains my daydreaming traits) And also job hunting (looking for temp jobs)

As i have mentioned in my previous post, that I am keen in setting up a small business. (I wanna sell shoes actually). Therefore, I look for opportunities and stumble upon an unbelievable idea...or should I say extraordinary income, we're talking about 6 figures every month, and it is done by somebody, whom credibility is unknown.

So....trying not to be shallow, and thinking that this must be a scam....for sure (btw real business people don't flaunt their profits) and some of my facebook friends are currently into these kind of things and filling my homepage with nonsense, that myself at first was intrigued in joining them. Who doesn't love $$$$$

With that little interest that I have, I talked to my boyfriend. He told me at first he too was interested in those things and I opposed it (really??) and he did a little research and found this blog http://aididmuaddib.blogspot.com (it's mostly in malay, and pardon his vulgar words) The writer backs up his writing with facts and I can see by the way he writes that he's an academician or some sort.

The business that they claim to do (my facebook friends) is actually a Multi-Level-Marketing that sells overpriced products which claims to have medical benefits, as it could cure certain illnesses. Apart from that, they said the product uses high-technology, which is actually non-existent. Sure the product is good, I'm not bashing it, just that it's overpriced, and those people who purchased it are simply paying more than they should.

I would like to drop a name here, the MLM company that generate a little interest in me is Hai-O Marketing (Do try to google this, and look at what came up). I'm sharing this because I don't want any other individuals (especially Malaysians) to fall into such scam and in the end loses more money. And remember, it is not a business, they are lying to people (and as a muslim, you know what that means). They pull people in with that so called 6 figures income and free vacation abroad, that's their M.O. Do click on the link above and read his blog. But the decision is all yours.

Productive...NOT, Daydreaming a LOT

Bonsoir!

Today's activities are very unproductive. As those who knows me, I am currently unemployed. Not something to be proud of, and trust me, i don't like it either. Yes, I do enjoy lazing, but when it prolongs for months, it is not fun. Though I am offered some interview sessions, I seem to decline all of them, why?? Well, let's just say that I am the type who works with passion. If I ain't love the job, I ain't doing it.

Referring to the aforementioned sentence, the last one....My mother's words of wisdom seems to echoed "Like what you do, don't do what you like." As for that, my action just contradicts everything that she said.

Enough about being depressed due to lack of exposure in the real world. Although I am unemployed, I do find things to do during my "vacation period". I'm improving myself by taking English course, half way through French course (yes, I quit) and researching for universities....Going for postgrad y'all!!! haha

In digression, I continue to find things to do, short term things that are beneficial, let's just say.....a small business perhaps? I love making money, and spend them. (Who doesn't?), not only that....I want to go and see beautiful places, it was fortunate that i have been given the chance to see Paris, Dubai, Perth, Singapore?? haha, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. In Europe is by far the longest I have stayed. 3 months in Paris taught me a lot in being independent....(tapi balik Malaysia, back to the old ways jugak!!!) But that's not the point. The point is I want to travel and immerse myself with foreign cultures (am i using the correct preposition??? should i use in??)

Therefore, I will definitely seek the kind of job that would allow me to travel n stay en pays inconnu (foreign land). Oh how i wish that life is perfect, but it is not :(

buyers' remorse!

Bonjour!

In reference to the title given for this post, I am so mad with myself as for doing something that I am not supposed to. Just like that rm350 just flew off my purse as I (stupidly) indulged myself doing hair treatment. Yes, my hair is severely damaged, due to coloring it (blonde strips) but I have done treatment before and the maximum cost was only 80 bucks. This by far the most expensive hair treatment I did. Arh! i should've gone for facial treatment with that price, as i need it more than doing my hair. :(

As for today, that's it for buyers' remorse. Lesson learnt, hope for better judgement in upcoming purchase of products and services.

I still need the facial though.

Lonely

Hello fellow blog hoppers, 

Being unemployed is no fun, it makes me feel a little bit lonely at times. Everybody else seems to have things going on, while I am here, stuck in the same place. Everyday, i watched TV, do the wifely duty (although I am not a wife in that matter of fact). That same old thing....life's a bore!

Currently, I have just started an English course at British Council, I was placed in an upper-intermediate level, basically it was easy, but i cant actually relate to the course as it talks about businesses, like what organisation do you belongs to....that sort of things, but I have not even enter the job market (just yet). But I am looking forward to any exercises that pertains inputs or insights on report writing, vocabulary and grammar. 

Enough on that serious stuff. Actually i am missing all those adventures i had during the 3 months stay in Paris, so many ups and downs, but i have to say all is good. I have stumbled upon my dear partner's blog, while i was blog hopping, she is such a sweet and nice girl. very cute, but sometimes annoying hehe (but u know what, that annoyance actually makes me misses her even more)

It was funny actually how we had started our journey, everything seems to be out of hand, from the accommodation to transport...like literally everything, but we were fortunate enough to be introduced to such nice people there in Paris, Along Deeno gave us the kick start in life there by giving his map, we explore the metro together, i have the upper hand in this matter as i can read a little bit of french, we ran away from our resident, because the manager is so not nice :( (i have to say that it was the peak of the adventure moments that running away incident) haha 

Oh when will I experience such thing again~

I am lame as usual

The clock shows that it is 3.30 a.m. As the holidays pass by, my sleeping hours had been terrible, i slept normally around 5 in the morning and woke up around 2 p.m.! How bad is that? Regardless whether i woke up slightly earlier lets' say 10 a.m. i will still be going to bed in the early hours of the morning. How i hate it actually.

Okay! so now, here's a little update about yours truly. I have just obtained my bachelor degree, and currently job hunting, i would like to pursue my studies to the higher level, since communication graduates (in my opinion)  required to have a master degree in order to secure better jobs or lessen the time in climbing up the corporate ladder.

As you may refer that previously, i have attended a language course (french) and have not actually doing quite well, though, i can now call myself a basic french speaker, (ha ha..have not even pass the intermediate level) but that is ok right? (just justifying with myself) and tomorrow, or later today i might say i will finalised my enrollment with british council. i am taking a professional english course as i want to develop my language skill in order to utilise it when i am actually working.

Taken the placement test, and my level is upper-intermediate. Hah! the difference between the level of language is pretty obvious there. After all, we (malaysia) have been occupied by the brit long ago, and english is being taught like forever here in Malaysia. But, i still love french and france. haha

Ok, kinda ran out of juices to share. Till next time

Pas de nouvelles pour trois mois

Bonjour tout le monde!

I guess I still have the Paris fever even after few months here in Malaysia. Ouh Paris, the city of love... l'amour..that's what I'm currently feeling right now, deeply in love with the city of the foreign.

I guess i just have lost all the excitement of writing right now, nothing had ever interest me in updating this blog. I am basically writing because i am bored and i cant sleep. The same old reason. Duhhh..Ilya is such a boring person.

So let's just get it on. after returning from the city of love, i am so hung up over it that i enrolled myself to french class. i basically sat for it for a month plus and decided to quite because it is so depressing. No BS, i was depressed, je n'aime plus mon professeur et je pense je peux apprend le langue on my own. bought all the necessary books but haven't start on it yet.

I filled my days with crime fiction and all those racy novels...bah oui, pourquoi pas. je suis libre en fait, j'ai finis mes etudes en avril, apres le stage, je n'ai pas faire qqchse. oh isnt life great. (to be honest i felt like a loser). i have decided to continue my study to a higher level...yeah masters....and have been researching for a while.

Wanted to do it in France, but the language barrier was too much....writing a thesis in French...have u seen my French????? refer the aforementioned please. So i have decided to pursue it in the Royaume-Uni (United Kingdom) Donc, j'ai decide que je dois apprendre les cours de l'anglais.

That's it for now.

Bonne nuit!
