Shit. My last post was back in 2014?

Hello again. It has been more than a year.

I was feeling up to writing something but since it has been so long, maybe a recap in my life so far would be a better post.

Gotta let it all be known I guess, so whatever questions you may want to ask after reading this (even as awkward things can be, just shoot, and know that I can go through that with you. Do promise me that you can go through that awkward phase as well.)

I'm FINALLY done with my studies!! But I have A LOT of pending assignments...

I've been doing a lot of college stuff and I'm finally done with my last paper for my Diploma! Hooray! Finally, I can stop dealing with shitty (I'll promise to keep cussing to the minimal) things and get on to more on hand stuff.

For some of you who may not know, I'm doing Diploma in Creative Media Technology in SAE Institute Malaysia. My diploma covers Audio Engineering, Designing, Animation and Film. I really just want the Audio Engineering part, but in a way (like most of the students there) I was tricked, and thinking about how much courage I muster and fought with my parents about my decision to come here, I wasn't going to quit in the get go. So I had to go through loops of fire and drowning waters to be able to finally say I'm done with the papers part. For assignments, well, that's another thing to worry about.


I've taken a part - time job in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall

My dad asked me to take a part-time job while I'm studying here. At first, it was such a hassle with me living near the factory areas in Subang, and buses are SO NOT CONVENIENT at time. It's either they came too early or too darn late. But knowing I need to do this to just help to lessen the load off my parent's financial plans, I did.

I'm working as part of the Customer Care in their Concierge Team. Sounds like some grand job, but it's not. Memorising the mall's shops and locations, knowing the full details of events and promotions and lastly, (something that I can't believe why I'm doing this) to handle customers, whatever you name it. I guess being in places like Sarawak or Sabah, you can deal with people to a certain extend, but the people over this side has a higher stress level than back home. Well, it's a good experience though, learning how to smile while inside your head you've mentally killed the person you're talking to 1000000000 times.


I've decided to stay in this part of Malaysia for about 5-10 years.

It's not that I hate working back home, honestly. But 1 thing I've realised that to work back in Kuching, you need a certain degree of expertise and experience to actually be more stable. I'm talking about being good at what you do, build up my own repertoire of successes and achievements. 

I do know some people who are in this industry who are doing well back at home, but that's because they have good experiences outside of Kuching before going back there. And some people who went back straight and work, they can manage with their own network and skills. For me I'd like to focus on myself, improving and shaping myself before I can safely go back with a worriless heart.


So that's the general stuff that has been happening. Minor stuffs will be coming out soon I promise!

Cheers!
