Up and about in Subang!

Been working at the office for more than 2 weeks now. Getting busier with work and datelines. I am glad to meet such motivated and goal oriented colleagues from MMU with me during the training at the office. We all get along well. In the begining we were not that close but after some time getting to know each other we became closer. I mean all 4 of us are so different but we managed to bond which has turned out so nice to have new friends. Last Wed. we went to play pool at Club 7 in Subang, thence adjourned to Tanjung 'Mamak' shop for supper. I didn't expect all to show up. It's good to see the team spirit within us.

My parents are down for the week cause my father has some work to do. Erm... a bit cramp here in SS18 but it's ok lar. Oh yeah even outside the house. 1 car in the parking lot and the other 4 are outside. Rather different scenario compared to back home in Pulau Tikus, Penang, where the whole lot can be parked inside. Atleast I can dine on my mom's cooking for dinner. Miss all her favourite chicken curry, petai sambal and others. Now she here she can cook mah. Save some money also for me... heheh!

Property here is astronomical. I mean if you compare with Puchong or Kajang for the same area space it is much cheaper than Subang. Subang is also becoming quite densely populated. Lot's of jams but what can u say with only like 2 access roads into Subang from the Federal Highway. Hopefully with the new mega flyover project at Subang intersection, the traffic will ease.

I got this real droaning noise coming from the engine. Sound like exhaust pipe. Gonna check it out tommorrow. My petrol gauge is also busted. Irregular petrol estimation. I doubt it's electronical problem cause the estimation of the needle is not so eratic. I hope the repairs don't cause me a bomb!

Going down Malacca next Friday to pay my bills. Hope to meet Nurul and all the friends. So fast end of the month. Malacca is nice to chill lar. I mean there really isn't much but the friends are great. Sure they are busy with their studies but sure hope they don't mind hanging out a while... hehe! Looking forward to meet u guys!

The following weekend I am returning to Penang for the weekend. My aunt's big birthday party. Long time also never go Penang. Sure still the same wan... hehe! Hope to meet Gan. 2 days only cause it's a weekend but gonna make the best out of it!

I am reading a lot in my free time here after work. Going to MPH Subang Parade to see what's new. I dun really go too far with my car problems. Somemore I just started my first job although it's just training. I hope to save up some atleast lar. Saving is good but one should have a purpose. I am so young and so many things to get. Have to start early rather than to suffer later.

I wish all my friends the best for this new semester in MMU. Take care!

K.L. I am here!

It's been like 3 weeks now living here in Subang. Staying somewhere in an area called SS18 which is like 5 minutes to Subang Parade. The nearest buddy who is hardly even here is Asrul who stays at SS15 Subang(even nearer to Subang Parade).

Got into the hang of working at MERP (M) Sdn. Bhd. a software house that deals with business application software. When I got in on the 27th of May 2005, I got to learn up Crystal Reports, a reporting software for business documents like receipts, invoices, quotations etc. Then, like on the 1st I got a new job to do the user manual for their 2005 version of the company's software. I work together with another guy(MMU Cyberjaya) on the project. The rest of my colleagues are from MMU Cyberjaya and Malacca respectively. Office hours are from 9-6p.m. with lunch at 12.30 to 1.30. Saturday is off day! Erm... I think it's ok lar working there I mean. I learn a lot and at the same time do work there. I wouldn't say the work is easy cause there's reasonably quite a lot to be done for the company.

So wat do I do after work? Hang out of course. If u know me, I like walking around shopping complexes just window shopping. Been to Carrefour Subang, Subang Parade, IOI Mall Puchong, Tesco Puchong, Midvalley Megamall, Jaya Supermarket Petaling Jaya, Metrojaya Petaling Jaya and the new One Utama.Really nice to see all the shops and the different people in KL. Notice a lot of mix couples but hey that's what Malaysia should have more of. No doubt there's different people here in Malaysia but all are true Malaysians. I like my friend, Amed's theory of when people ask him what race he is he calls himself a Malaysian. Amed, bile nak jadi Dato' ni? Hehe! I find that there are a lot of profesional people living here and I respect them for getting here to KL. Sure it ain't easy. For a person like me coming from Penang, I really am at the bottom of the ladder. I am aiming up.

My car broke down again. This time black oil leak from the lower gasket of the engine. Just sent it in today and my uncle was kind enough to lend me my cousins Wira Aeroback 1.6 cause she's living in Singapore now. Almost the same car as mine yeah? Driving is pretty much the same but this car is much well taken care of then mine. Milege still below 60k km and not so much vibration. Guess what year it is?? 1996! Yes... it's true. Lucky cousin of mine I guess.

Living with my bro here turned out to be soo fun! I get to play with my nephew, Brian, after work. It's kinda like living in a childs world again by doing things like watching Buzz Lightyer ("To infinity and beyond!"), playing with his Hot Wheels and just running around the house! Really it's tiring but good fun! When I am using my PC, he keeps bugging me to play Need for Speed Underground 2! U know kids with cars. Just looking at me driving makes him all excited. Actually it even thrills me! Haha!

I thank Nurul for being so helpful in taking me around and looking after me when she could here in KL. She went with me to almost all the shopping complexes I went like I mention above. Thanks dear! Next time ur here we go out again k? It's a date! Heheh! Gonna miss her when she's back in Malacca.

Like I always say no point being sad missing someone. Look forward to the moment when u can meet that person next! Living a happy life is what we all are striving for. To be honest it's easier said than done!
