the King of Pop

This morning, i was woken up by the news that The Ultimate King of Pop, Michael Jackson has passed away. I truly couldnt believe it. I knew that he just turned 51 this year, and teh fact that he died of a cardiac arrest simply shocked me even more. I still can't digest the fact that he is no more.

A tribute to Michael Jackson..

I have been spending the whole of today listening and watching all of his songs. The world has just lost one of its finest musicians.

May he Rest In Peace.

from office

For the first time, Dakshy blogs from office.

Why today after all days have i decided to blog? Well, that would be beacuse, Mira, who i work for is off today. That would mean that I don't have much work to do. :( And her other friend, Michelle, who is in PR too, is off. So, I'm all alone in PR department, with absolutely nothing to do. I was initially reading some stuff about the Monsoon Cup to know how it actually works, but I got bored within the first 10minutes. So, i have post-poned the reading and understanding the Monsoon Cup session. :)

Siewie, Shiva and many other people have been asking me how has my work been and what do i actually do. Since i never really had the time to answer their questions, I guess I'm gonna explain it today, here.

I work for T-Best Events Sdn. Bhd.. We are the organizers for the Monsoon Cup, which is actually a sailing competition that is somewhat like that World Cup for Sailing. The finals is usually held here, in Terengganu, Malaysia. Since the Monsoon Cup is only in December every year, we also host events that are related to the Monsoon Cup to promote the Monsoon Cup and give some credit to the sponsors of the Monsoon Cup such as, VW, Ri-Yaz Heritage & Spa Resort, ASTRO and many more.

Mira is actually the Events Manager, here in T-Best. And i work under her. I basically do documentation for her as she needs to concentrate more on the hands-on things with the sponsors and all. So, i prepare reports, minutes of meetings and all that. I also do some filing now and then, whenever it involves the PR Department. I was also told by Mira that I will be going to Terengganu now and then to manage some things during the event.
So yea. That's basically what I do.

People in the Office
The office is actually a conner-lot house in Bangsar. So, we're all not really far far away and require the phone to intercom to speak to each other. Our tables are all very nearby. This would mean that we don't really have much communication barriers. I knew most of them in the office within the second day in office itself. :) They're really nice people. I really like the environment here. But i dread it when Mira AND Michelle are not here. I feel kinda lonely because everybody's doing their work and talking to those around them and I'm not because the ones around me are absent.
*sigh*

However, I'm gonna be spending most of my time today by watching movies, facebook-ing and reading about the Monsoon Cup. I have a string of movies to watch! Hehehe.
What a fantastic employee I am. :)

Transformers!!!
I watched the first show of Transformers 2 day before yesterday!! Muahahahaha! And the movie is fantastic people! It was taken very well, though it was a little bit draggy towards the end, the graphics, story and dialogues were truly fantastic! I watched the movie with a big group of Yoga's friends (15 of us). Not a very big group though, but it was fun!

Dev from India
My mom's really close friend from Bombay, India sent her son, Dev, who is 18 this year, for a stay in my place for one week from the 28th of June. I'm so excited! The last time we hung out was when I was 15, when he came over to Malaysia. He's really fun to be with. And since I haven't been having much fun recently, I guess hanging out with him will be quite enjoyable.

Duke, The German Shepard
Since the break-ins in Bangsar is really high, Yoga and my mom decided to get a dog to guard the place at night. And we got a pure breed German Shepard! Oh my God! He's so adorable, yet fierce. :) He's only attached to me, Yoga and my dad. He's closer to me though because i see him every morning, evening and night. And I'm the one who gives him his meals. hehe. So yea. He's damn cute and he's only 3 months old. But trust me, he isnt as small as you would expect a normal 3 month old puppy would be. He's quite big and will grow to a substantial height when he's fully matured. His name is Duke, by the way. We named him.

We play every evening and really look forward to seeing each other the next day. You must see how excited he gets as soon as he sees me first thing in the morning, when i come over to give him milk. He runs to me and never lets me go. He somehow or other does not realise how big sized he is, when he jumps on me. I literally fell the other day when he pounced on me. But I didnt feel much of the pain when i realised that the reason why he jumped on me was because he wanted to lick me. Haha. He's damn cute wei.
I shall upload some photos of him in my next post.

~not looked after when needed~

exams and so much more

exams
my finals are going on now. it started on the 18th of May and will be ending on the 8th of June. i simply cant wait!! my 1 and a 1/2 years of studying in MAHSA is finally gonna end! words cant express how happy i am right now you know.
anyways, lemme give you a summary of my papers that i have sat for..

18th May - Mechanics (math)
this paper is something like physics where we do calculations of forces, energy and stuff like that.
the paper was fantastic though! :) it was quite simple as i did quite a lot of preparation for it before the exam.
estimated result : A

29th May - Biology (paper 4)
this paper is exactly like our biology paper 2 in SPM. we've got 8 structure questions and 2 essay questions. quite a challenging paper. since i went for tuition lessons with a really good lecturer, the paper seemed quite friendly. i could attempt most of the questions and the essay question was god sent. :))))
estimated result : A

29th May - Maths (pure)
this paper is something like additional mathematics paper 2 in SPM. as much as math is my most favourite subject and all that, i was shit scared of this paper and true enough, it was minblowingly tough! arrrrggghhh! seriously wei. each and every question was so challenging. i really dunno how i am gonna fair in it. i have NOT sat for such a tough paper in my life wei. haiyooooooo..
estimated result : B

3rd June - Chemistry (paper 4)
one of my favourite subject's paper would be this chemitry paper. it was very fun to do. though there were tough parts in the paper, most of the questions were very familiar and friendly upon completing the past years. and the best part about this paper was that all the challenging questions were given very little marks. so, even if i could not score for all those questions, my ass is still saved. :)
estimated result : A

5th June - Biolgy (paper 5)
8th June - Chemistry (paper 5)
these papers are like science paper 3 that we do in SPM. it mostly involves the planning of experiments and evaluating the results obtained. i'm quite weak in these papers, but hopefully, after doing all the past years and stuff, i get good results for it.

that would be all the papers. on the 8th of June, from 3.30pm onwards, i will be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
no more A-levels,
no more studying and
no more MAHSA!
whoop-de-doo!!

money money money
i'll be starting my Pharmacy programme in IMU in Jan 2010. the course seems to be quite costly. so, to help my mom out financially, i have decided to get a job. i thought of saving some money, so that i can finance myself in Scotland.

miraka, who's currently working in Tbest Events, needs an assistant to help her out with some documentation and stuff. when i told her that i was gonna look for a job during my 6-months break, she appointed me staright away. also, her company organizes the Monsoon Cup every year, that'll mean that i'll be involved in that too. :)
job search, done!

however, i have got an interview to attend before i get the job. and that interview will be on the 9th of June. just as i was a little relaxed that it was gonna be miraka who'll be interviewing me, i got to know that miraka's BOSS will be the interviewier. crap.

i have not been for an interview before in my life, and this is gonna be my first. i'm kinda nervous about it. guess who's gonna give me lessons on 'how to make the interview successful'?
YOGA

yup, its gonna be him. you may wonder why i chose him. trust me, it isnt only because he's my boyfriend, but also because his success rates in interviews in too close to 100%. yep. every company that interviews him, wants him in their company. that would be because of..1. he's certs and stuff are bloody good
2. he has handled quite a lot of happening projects with big-timers
and most of all...
3. he's bloody smooth with his words

and the number 3 is what i wanna get hold off before i go for this interview. i dont really have a good record of capturing someone with my words. appearance, yes. (haha) so yea. i'm gonna have a crash course with Yoga before i attend this interview. oh yea, i just remembered something else i have to do.
learn what the Monsoon Cup is about and not conclude that the sailors go round and round for absolutely no reason.

saturday, the 13th of June
i have planned to meet up my friends, siewie, koo, pei yi, mei kay and becca for lunch as my life-taking exams would have ended by then. its been really long since i've caught up with them. and hopefully they'll all be free for the meet-up session.
