My favourite person
Peng, me, Sen Hon, Kellee & DannyYup...this was me 2 years ago just before I left. This was in 1 Utama's Dome. Me and my coffees, oh...and my beloved friends of course! (eerrmm guys, you are all DEFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT than coffee okay?)
Since I got here, I crashed in with Nicole, Kellee & Sen Hon's ex-housemate in this single bedroom apartment in Fitzroy. Crazy, yes! We both were looking for jobs then, and looking for a bigger place to move into as well. We went around Brunswick St handing out our resumes for cafe jobs just to get us by until we find real jobs. Aunty Linda, she took us poor lassess in to Ken's Cafe, this daggy but cosy little sandwich bar/hot foods. Yup, my first job back in Melbourne was a sandwich hand. It was really fun and boy, were we well fed!!! A month later, I found a job as a telemarketer. Wasn't very good at it I tell ya. Being on a low wage + commission, you can tell I wasn't there for long. Did that for 2 months part time while still at Ken's Cafe as well.
In between, I actually came back to KL in August 05. Really sorry for not catching up then cos I was back for my grandma's funeral, so I wasn't in the best shape to see anyone. Apologies. I know what you're gonna say, why didn't I catch up on my last trip back in April this year right?? Again, so000 Sorry!! It was a last minute thing cos I decided to for a holiday to Cambodia, and stopped by back in KL for a week (or my parents would have me on the grill!), and I had completely lost all phone numbers, (I drowned my phone in a river when i went camping). Ok ok, lousy excuse you say, but I seriously regret not been able to see most of you.
Ahh....the Commonwealth Bank. I temped there as a Loans Discharge Admin for a year, met some really lovely people whom I now call friends. The job was lousy, but it pays rent. Me & Nic found this city pad, walking distance to work for the 2 of us (she found an archi job in the city as well then) and we were there for a year until she decided to ditch me for Tim!! Anyhow, I am now a Loans Discharge Consultant at the Members Equity Bank (name only sounds fancy lah yeah) -- I basically deal with customers who sell/refinance, the end bit of mortgages, calculating the final payouts and discharging loans (sound like fun eh?). Oh yeah, and I work on Sundays waitering at Papa Gino's on Lygon St, this pizza/pasta joint.
In between, I have been trying to keep myself busy as much as I can, getting myself invited to barbeques as much as possible (being the meatasaurus that I am you'll find me at the pit hovering around with tongs in my hands...kekeke), going to stuffs happening in Melbourne.
So yes, this is me in short for the past 2 years.
