a change, maybe?

Went for a night of (not-quite)partying and an interview with Dell Penang last weekend. The number of people who turned up was overwhelming. Around 260 in a 4-5 hour period, and this is only one of the interviews. I heard another one's to be held in KL sometime next month.
The experience was not as impressive as I expected it to be. Most of the 4-hour I spent there was for waiting. The actual test and interview took me only around 1.5 hours. I think I did good. It's not really a good job, but it pays well, and I haven't lived in Penang for an extended period before, so I'm seriously hoping I get the job and have a change in environment.

The clubbing part was just decent. Susi was all about picking up/getting picked up by any white man. She got her wish, in a fairly twisted way. The guy was so freaking desperate and rude, pushing through me and Daniel to get to her. Then hit on one of the other girls when she didn't show much interested. Switched back to hogging her when Daniel talked him down. Followed us outta the club, almost across the road to the car park when we left.
He looked like he frequents clubs like those fishing for Asian chicks, so I'm seriously wondering how dumb is he to not realise that women can ALWAYS smell desperate from a mile away. Desperate = not getting laid. Elementary logic.
The crowd was pretty cool though, not as much ahbengs and ahlians as I expected. Some fine young women around too. I might really get to like the Penang clubbing scene.

Paul van Dyke will be in KL on Dec 10. Tickets are on presale already. I'm kinda thinking that I probably won't make it cos mom's birthday's just around that time. It'll be great if I could make it. Although I'm thinking that I might not wanna go with Rajev, Murali and the rest. I'll probably end up with an Indian chick if I did that, which, coincidentally, I'm not really interested in right now. :P
That also means that I'll probably have to cough up some dough for a hotel room or something. argh.

obsession with bad things

You know what they say, the things that are bad for you always seem to be good, in a certain sense.

Twisties is bad for you. So is Cheezels, and a bunch of other junk food. I just can't help myself though. I blame it on the reason that I didn't get much of them when I was younger. My parents are totally against junk food, and with the meager allowance I get for school, junk food is totally outta the question. Still, I'll endulge myself once in a while for a packet of BBQ Twisties. Still my fav now, obviously, since I just bought myself a few packets for all those late night DVD marathons I'm planning. :)

Late nights are bad too. According to what I've read, and what mom kept reminding me, a person's metalbolism is most active during the period of 11pm-1am. Basically, your body grows, rebuild muscles and tissues, etc, the most during these 2 hours. I guess probably that's why most people who stays up late get panda eyes. :P
I used to have a lot of those back during my college and uni days. Stopped for a few years now, but seems like I'm slowly reverting back to my former self in this aspect. Mostly it's the DVDs and animes and games and such. Sometimes I stay on the phone til quite late. I thought starting to play basketball early in the morning would help, but I still sleep late, only wake up earlier.
This also brings into mind a question which I have yet gotten an answer to: if I travel to another timezone, which 11pm-1am should I follow?

At my age, animes and games are probably bad for me too. I should probably be SERIOUSLY thinking about where I wanna go from here and make plans for the future. Seems like animes, games and sports are the only things that seriously releases me from all the daily pressure and shit, even just for a short period.
Which doesn't really make them bad for me, does it?

it's been a while

Finally the last day of my finals this semester, and hopefully it's my last semester. I'm seriously thinking I might flunk my Adv Java paper, since I really didn't prepare enough for it. It'll be a waste if I did since I seriously scored with the project. Hopefully, the GBS paper later today (in about 1/2 hour) will be okay.

Actually, I'm still on annual leave. It was supposed to end today, but I forgot about the whole Deepavali and Hari Raya holidays, so I'm still off until next Tuesday. AND I've got 10 more days of annual leave that I can still apply for after that.

I kinda like the leaves, the medical coverage, the resource for abuse and stuff I get from this job. If they'd only pay me more and if only this wasn't a dead end job, I'd probably stay for much longer. With things as it is now, especially since I should (hopefully) be done with my degree, I'm definitely moving to something else.

Have an interview with a big multi-national company next Saturday. Not a really good job, and not really that much difference with what I'm doing now, but they pay good, has good benefits, and I can definitely see me moving up the ladder in that job.

Need to come up with a sorta commercial POS cum MIS system too, albeit a simple one, for my bro. I'm probably gonna get a few grands off this if it works well. Foreseeing a lot of difficulties with it though, as they're really asking a lot for the POS part, and I've really been away from VB for a long time.

Anyway, gonna enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a seriously good break.
