December update

1st of December will mark the start of my 'new beginning'. I will be working in Miri starting this December. Miri would be a good place to live in as it is the 2nd city after Kuching and the population is still consider small compare to Kuching. Hopefully this experience will teach me more in becoming more mature and to be more responsible in financial and relationship.

November Quick Update

4th day of November, seems like we're going to the end of year 2011 soon.  A lot of events had been happening for the past few weeks. One of them are the university convocation.  Congratulation for those who had been graduated and all the best.  It is a normal thing that we face up an down in our life, just like a ferry wheel going round and round.  Somehow we have to learn how to cope with this life and never give up.  No matter in our study, work, relationship etc., we have to persevere in order to achieve what we want to have in our life.  Every planning must come together with action, and after that evaluate what the action bring us to, either in a good way or the other way round.

October quick update

Been busy with Uni-Connect Business Technopreneurship program. A program that focus on developing technopreneurs among university graduates and to increase the employability among graduates. Been to Kuala Lumpur for my last leg of planned transition from student world into working world. A lot of happenings during the trip. Entering into the month of October, few universities are having their convocation, with some of my friends graduating. Wishing them best of luck in their undertaking. Those having convocation later during this month (including myself), happy graduation...

It's already the 3rd day of September. Been travelling to Miri in August for friend's wedding and Raya holiday.
Quite a lot of memories, been together with friends and relatives for almost a week in Miri. Exploring Miri with almost all the area in Miri been covered.

July

It's been 21 days since the start of July. For your info, I'm been working part-time for the past 2 weeks. Been working on shift, so sometimes feels heavy-headed because of fatigue. Hoping to finish this 'misery job' by the end of next month. Will continue searching for a permanent job (including migrating to Peninsular if necessary) in search for a greener pasture. Till then...
