C'est la vacances

Tout le monde!!!

C'est la vacances pour moi.

Well, my holiday started earlier this week, last Monday to be exact. I have to say that time flew quickly when I did nothing. I guess now is the time for me to start focusing my attention to this blog like I used to. Honestly, I miss writing so much. Really?

Actually, my graduate training programme with Boustead Holdings, whereby I was attached with BHPetrol involves a lot of writing as I was part of the corporate communications department. A lot of letter writing, proposals and reports. The training was not much of a challenge for me, maybe because they know that I am only there for a temporary period. Nonetheless, I have the most amazing bosses at the company. They're the type that will guide you to success and grow. Bliss~

As for now, I'm just enjoying myself lazing around, exercising, as this coming Tuesday I will be removing my tonsils and perhaps will be suffering for several weeks recovering. Enjoy the moment while it last they say. The horror of tonsillectomy. I know one thing for sure. I will definitely share my recovery experience as this may help others going through the same surgery.

One thing that I look forward to tomorrow is tennis :)

Another matter that I'll be glad to share will be applying visa, since the UKBA has changed its policy for visa application as of 6/4/2012, I will be one of the first batch applying for the Tier 4 (General) visa under the current policy. The application fee has also increased. It is now MYR 1416.00

Accordingly, I haven't receive my CAS Statement. This is another uber-important document for visa application. This will be delivered by the university, which they told me that they will start sending out those statements in few weeks. This information was notified to me on the 2nd week of April. Few weeks is sure is a long time huh???

Thats all for now.

A la prochaine fois!

vingt-cinq

I'm here after 25 days. It's an achievement actually, because my target is to have 1 post every month.

But......

All of that might change as this week is my last week of internship. I mentioned that my internship contract will last for 8 months, but sadly it ended sooner as I'm scheduled to remove my tonsils due to many many tonsillitis reoccurring in my entire life. 

Nonetheless this brings joyful news for my blog here, because I will definitely fill my time recovering writing em'. 

I know that recovering from tonsillectomy as an adult is painful. Thus, that is why i decided to just quit and focus on recovering. thereafter, i wish to focus all my attention to visa application which i will definitely share how the process will be and what are the necessary documents you should bring along and what not. this i assume will take up the entire month of may and june.

As july will come after (just like the 'friday' song. LOL), the fasting month will begin and it will be a hectic month here in malaysia. traffic jam tend to doubled during this month. So i decided to just spend time with the family until the celebration of eid. after that, it'll be bye-bye malaysia and hello UK.

well, thats my life planned out, we'll see how it goes ya~

April Fool

Bonsoir tout le monde!

Today is the 1st of April where people putting up pranks to one another. Well, i used to make up some lame jokes every now and then on this particular day but not so much now. My post today will not be about April fool's day but I know i havent kicked in my creative writing side for a while now. 

As working life proceed, i have become a corporate robot, life is no longer fun even though i tried to sacrifice time here and there, but synchronizing my time with others is proven to be a tough thing to do. On a beautiful hot Sunday, which is today, I have devoted my time to watch the Hollywood version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I've read the trilogy, watched the Swedish version  (except for the third installment) and finally the Hollywood version.

I know that it is long overdue for me to watch it and talk about it, but due to its racy content the Malaysian government have decided to banned the movie from showing in our local cinema. In the matter of censorship, it'll be pretty hard to censor the scenes in the movie as it is part of the core content of the book and movie explaining why..yadda yadda yadda. And Malaysians being Malaysians (judgmental us) i reckon that the public can actually accept the movie being shown publicly. Our cognitive system are just not up to par just yet. Yikes!

It'll be too late to say spoiler alert, so I might just write. Kudos to the movie as being spot on as how the book is. Roony Mara carries Lisbeth perfectly even when she disguised herself as the blonde where it is not highlighted that much in the Swedish version. The minor change they made in the character of Hariet Vanger is a set back for the book lover. Hariet should be in Australia and not London and Anita Vanger is alive. The Hollywood version had tweaked that part.

Both the Swedish and Hollywood version did not highlight the relationship between Cecilia Vanger and Mikael Blomkvist, i guess that part just wasnt important to both director. Cinematography obviously nicer in the Hollywood one  and i like the millenium office in the Hollywood version, it is just how i had imagined it to be. Daniel Craig is awesome as Kalle Blomkvist and the part that Lisbeth felt angry/jealous at the end of the movie is a must! that is not portrayed in the Swedish one.

All and all, I was satisfied :)

le petit feb

bonsoir~

here's a little february  update. i couldnt update more posts as now my life is occupied with the intern stuff. but i do find time to watch new series. haha

ok...so my conditional offer is now unconditional and i accepted the offer. (duh! obviously)

now i have to worry about visa!!!

the only problem right now is my birth certificate....its in malay language, in order to make the brit understand it, it must be in english....so tomorrow im dragging my ass to JPN as the original birth cert is missing in action and ask about the english version of it.

as im writing now, i just read the webby of institut terjemahan negara...they offer such service. oh well, one more place to go. haish!!!

Anxious! Nervous!

Bonsoir tout le monde.

Ok, January update. I have to say that 2012 greets me well, i've received a conditional offer from Newcastle University that I wanted so badly. The fact that it is a conditional offer worries me though. Well, as what had been notified to me by my GM, he had submitted a reference to the Uni. and i asked my lecturer, well he said that he had received and will fill it out and send it back accordingly.

But how do i know that the uni had received my documents???

aaaaa.....i cant sleep thinking about it though. my plan is that im going to do a follow up with my lecturer (harassing people as usual) and call the uni to ask them about it. then straight to deposit and i will have the confirmation of a place there.

well...i hope that all goes well....

Anxious! Nervous!

A la prochaine fois!

Ooh la la! Bonjour~

Ok bloghoppers!

It's been two months of no updates. Well, if previously, my life's a bore, now it has become bore-errrrrr! Ok my internship is not going so well, just as i am reaching the 2nd month period of this freaking programme, i have become more and more demotivated. Not sure why, but a routine life is just not for me....previously i have mentioned that i was soooo looking forward to it, and a month had passed, and i felt that it was the longest one month ever. the only thing that kept me moving on was just the thought of killing the time productively before i continue my postgrad studies.

there's a good news as well, i have managed to obtained overall score of band 7.5 and 7.0 in writing for my ielts, now i am qualified to apply, just that i have to come up with 2 references and a personal statement for the application. life's hard huh???

to sum this little post that i managed to write today. i am unhappy, and i'm not sure why....shucks!

adieu~

Well hello there reader.

I guess it is unlucky for you that you bumped into my lame blog. If you decided to stay and read for a while, you are most welcome dearest :) In advance, thank you xx

I know that there isn't any update here, well....life's a bore when you're a bore, that's me. A plain Jane. Anyhow, any who, anyways....here's a lil some in' some in'

Writing to kill the time when I should be sleeping right now, it is 3 a.m. and I am wide awake. Reading about the master controller mod of the sims 3, which makes no sense to me ( I am not actually tech savvy) and because of that, I'm a little disappointed. Haha...I'm trying to make a purdy sims...

Truth is....I think I'm too old to be playing imaginary games, when I should be serious in applying for postgrad studies, reading on the requirements, core subjects -----> essay paper!! scary!! dissertation!! uber scary!!!

But I am not chickening out of it. Gonna face it like a tough chick :)

Chick? Chicken???

Apart from that, this week will be the last week of holidays for me as life's getting serious, I will start an internship programme for the period of 8 months. A paid internship, which is flexible and in accordance to what  I want and my liking. I'll be part of the corporate comm and gov relations dept. in a very well known organisation in Malaysia. Issit? I know for the fact it's big.

*Flashback*


They asked me why I didn't look for a job for good and move on with life during the interview...and I answered. I want to learn and prepare myself.

Wanna know the truth?

Lack of confidence. Lack of motivation (continuing postgrad)

Therefore, I'm going to use this learning opportunity for good. :) Build up the confidence. A new life starts on 17th October 2011.

Enough crapping for the day... adieu
