Boring.

Heeeyyy...How Youuu Doinnn??Everything's fine?Family's all good? Joker didn't slit your throat?Anyway,I'm updating my blog from my workplace in the Veterinary Research Institute since everyone is out for their totally time-wasting tea breaks (one at 10am,one at 3pm),and lets hope my ass doesn't get caught with slacking on the already-very-slackable-job. One more week,and I'm out of here.Not that I do not enjoy working in a relaxed,stress-free environment (unless the Nipah virus has another outbreak),however the mere thought of spending 8 hours(6 if I'm slacking,3 if I'm totally bored senseless and decides to head home and watch cartoons) in the lab doing nothing much,WITHOUT any pay/remunerations/fees/salary/allowances/donations whatsoever,is enough to make me feel glad that my industrial training is coming to an end.However,I'm really going to miss some of the staff here that had work closely with me for the past couple of months,such as Madam No Na, a chinese woman who speaks malay in the local accent and slang so freakin well,you'd swear she was brought up in a malay kampung.And Mr. Jamal,with his Taliban-esque beard,always helpful and willing to pass knowledge to the young noobs.

The past two weeks was hectic as hell for me,since I had to pass up my industrial training report before the deadline or else I would be cancelling my ticket to my convocation,and rushing here and there for interviews and gatherings.I went to KL on the 11th of July to attend a birthday party,and what a birthday party it was.Held in a kinda-posh restaurant(IZZI,if I'm not mistaken),the upper floor was booked,a DJ was on the ones and twos,good food,dancing,and lotta hot hoochie mamas.Happy birthday Jessie.It was quite fortunate that I sat at a particular table,where I got to know a couple of guys/gals taking up audio engineering at Lim Kok Wing and ICOM.One of the guy's name was Xylus a.k.a. Xephilas,a chinese dude who is one of the craziest mofos I had ever met.He screams and shouts and sings at someone's birthday party.While everyone was eating.And he didn't even know the Bday Gal.Not to mention taking a drum practicing kit where ever he goes,and showing us his mad skillz with the sticks.He's a drummer for hire,and plays in local underground gigs,including black metal.Whoa.And he does missionary work in Indonesia.And Marie,a malay-french-jap girl who has a band of her own(she's on the vocals),who talked non-stop and on everything under the sun even though we just met.And Naveen,a ceylonese who was kinda timid and quiet at first(prolly because Jovial was scaring him,lol),but after some whisky,began to get jiggy with it.We went to Mcds after the party,and chatted till 3 in the morning.How's that for a bunch of people you meet for the first time?

I took a leave on the 16th of July,just 3 days after I came back from KL,and travelled back to KL yet again for a job interview from a multinational company that sells lab instruments.The interview came off quite smoothly,but with the pay they are offering and the standard of living in PJ,I would be eating biscuit crumbs and leftovers.OK it's not that bad,but it's close.There are two main factors that will affect my decision on where to work,one is the pay,and one is the standard of living.One's a variable,the other is fixed.So after much consideration,a decision was finally made.

p.s: excuse the long post with few elaborations.I will give a much more detailed peek into my brain when I get my internet connection at home.But then again I may not give two hoots about my blog and just download tons of porn with Emule.See how lah.
