Another sick day! I did nothing except taking enough rest. Slept well. And also find some time to do my slides for tomorrow's presentation! I thought of postpone it to some other day. But then again, what to delay?  I have my findings and the slides are prepared. So just do the best.

It has been more than a year since my last presentation. Most probably I would have lost all my skills. So tomorrow will be a good day for me to test it. Hopefully, I will be fit (physically) enough to do it.

Wish me luck!

Going through pretty bad health recently. Loss all my energy and appetite due to food poisoning. My body becoming very vulnerable to foreign matter. And seriously, I'm getting very weak. Hope to more bed rest. But that's impossible with working life. Took one day MC. But it's not doing any good. Hope to get well soon.

Such a tiring and exhausting day. A lot of things on pending. I got to work on two projects. First, to come up with standards of operation in Architec room (disease detection room). Second, from my Managing Director to do more research on the structures of amniotic membrane.

The first task is in drafting process. Tomorrow I have meeting with my supervisor and lab manager. Hope everything will go well. Later on I have to start my second task. The very interesting one :)

Terrible Annual Dinner I Ever Had!

Haha...... I have been through a lot since I started to work in that particular company. But this one was one of the worst memories.  

Company’s annual dinner is done usually to appreciate the contribution of employee. So for that, I have seen the employer goes all the way to make it a grand event or at least special for his people! But the dinner I went, annual dinner I suppose was more of simple 8 course dinner. No speech of appreciation, no event, and etc.

 They held it in a restaurant, co-ventured with other companies I guess (coz there were more people that I have not met, n I know there is no other branch)! Everyone went in, the courses started n end of 8^th courses the boss said hi and bye and thanked everyone to be there!

I’m not being a critic here. But from what I have seen as a employee ( Food Technologist) of the company I think the operators deserve way more than that! It is not that the company is running in loss! Being a small company with employees less than 100 and revenues that could exceed rm100,000 per month from the production, I personally feel that it should have been more than a simple dinner! And the worst part is the food is not even tasty! At least they could have done it in more private place or should have made sure that the food served was good!

I swear to myself that I’m not going for that company’s annual dinner anymore! It is simply because I don’t want to erase the beautiful memory I had from other annual dinners which had been way bizarre and special than this with all my besties! The only best thing I got for making an effort to attend this dinner was the lucky draw! I got cash of RM 288.00. That made my day! lol

Dissatisfied!

I have been quite busy till I have no bloody time for myself and also for my blog. My new job keeping me away from everything. The last thing I ever want in my life two weeks back was getting myself a proper job and settled down.

I went for few interviews. Mostly will succeed in the first interviews. They will say that they will call for the next interview and that’s it. U won’t get any answers or news from them. Is this one way to say NO to a successful first interviews candidates? At last, I got a decent job for myself. I was hired by a food company, AIM food manufacturing in Cheng, Melaka for Food Technologist position. Although it is not directly related to what I majored in, I was glad that it will somehow link back to biotechnology or sciences.

Happily started my job on 8^th November 2010. The first day, all the rules and rego was read to me. And they, made sure I truly understand all of them- literally. Then, came the discipline part. They looked at my nicely polished long nails n next minute I know there was a nail clipper right next to me. And they asked me to cut it all right at the moment!!! I was sooooo broken hearted. I know the last time I have seen my finger nails short was back in my primary school when I was in primary six. I have given no choice. It was part of HACCP for those who are working in food industry. Then came the second rule. UCANT WEAR ANY BLOODY PERFUME!!!!!! U gotta be kidding me!! What is a life for a girl without perfume? I don’t know about others. But I never leave the house without perfume. But now, for the job sake I’m doing it. While I’m trying to absorb all these rules in one day, there came the third rule. U CAN’T WEAR ANY ACCESSORIES. No earings, no chain, no hairclips and no nothing. 6 out of 7 days I have to be like this. What a life I’m having!!!! With all this, everyday I have to do overtime. So I’ll leave the house at 8am and will be back home at 8 or sometime 9 pm.

What I could do now? I have to go through this at least for 1 year, until I learnt all the skills and get a year experience. Then, I can apply for other company which is more fun working with. So for the moment I’m trying my best to adapt into this new environment and “fun-filling” working life.

                            

                                               

TROUBLED LIFE

Life has been tough for me recently. It was true that people says you are in a honeymoon year throughout your studying period although you know you are going through hell of time. But here I am, after I had completed my degree still wondering what will be my next step. It will be whether I will work or continue my Master's study. The problem now is the road/ path in front of me is just too blur. I could not determine what is best for me. How I wish I could be in UNIMAS now continuing my 7th semester. No matter how hard I try  I know it won’t happen. I got to do something or break this whole sober stage. The jobstreet, jenjobs, nor monster is doing great in finding me a job. No matter how many jobs I applied the results will be the same. It is either my application will be kept for reference or it will be an unsuccessful application. I know I am qualified to do anything in my field which is Biotechnology. I know I had enough knowledge of it. So what if I don't have experience. I can learn. I'm still fresh so there is nothing that I can't do. And I don't mind taking new challenges. Even the greatest person need to take his/ her own first step. Now all I'm asking for is a chance. A chance to prove I am a worthy person and u did not make a wrong decision by choosing me.
