Emirates Interview!!

Woo!! I applied for Emirates Airlines a few weeks back and yesterday I checked my email inbox......

I got this......

Dear Candidates,

Thank you for the interest in the application for the position of Cabin Crew with Emirates Airline.
We have received your online application and we would like to invite you to Emirates Airline upcoming Open Day walk-in interview, jointly held by Sass Atlantic.

Am soo excited!! I attended Qatar Airways interview once before.....But it wasn't successful, got into 3rd round.....

This time Emirates!! Let's see what happens......

Everyone "Evolves"!! Aight??

I like flipping through old photo albums whenever I am home.......Being the nostalgic person that I am, I like to recall old times haha....I wonder if that's a good thing or bad thing.....

Anyways I was scanning through MY old photos today......though I hate to.....*blush*....coz umm...you will know why after this haha yeeks!!.......But anyways, everyone evolves!! Aight??!! Humph!! I don't like admitting I used to look geeky.....and ummm "swollen" but that was me so am sharing it haha....

I don't have much photos though, except when I was a baby....my mum used to take lots of pics of me...But as I got older, I started to hate taking pictures and am still very camera shy. I guess it's an old habit of mine. Especially back in Primary School and half of High School, I was chubby, geeky and very depressed.....unlike the happy kid that I was......


I spent half of my childhood back in Hong Kong I would say. I was a lucky baby.....I traveled alot since I was born. And maybe that explains why I love traveling now? haha.....I used to go to Hong Kong twice every year to visit my maternal grandma, uncles, aunts and cousins. They adored me and I loved the attention I guess.......


That's me and my mum....though I can't remember when and where it was taken...coz that was yonks ago!! But....I had alot of photos taken with mum when I was a kid....not surprising as my mum loves the camera and looks good in photos....

My family are very close knit.....my grandpa has bout 15 grandchildren all together...and the first 7 of his grandchildren are girls and the boys came later. Lucky me!! My cousins, sis and I grew up together. Similar age and people say we look similar as well. Sometimes we get mistaken as being twins or sisters......though we never thought so.....Anyways, that's my favourite cousin....why favourite you ask me? Well, we are of the same age and inseperable since birth. Though she's 3 months older than me, but!! Am taller than her muhuhuhu!!

That's my grandpa. He's a very traditional and very strict I would say. But!! He adores his grandchildren. He used to drive a Ford back then and though it was quite a compact car, he would take 7 of us girls.....nicknamed "7 Angels" by his friends haha....to his rubber & palm oil estate, orchard....or just anywhere!! I remember whenever it was a weekend, my cousins and I would bug him to take us to his rubber estate. We would run around chasing chickens, cows, fishing tadpoles from the well, playing with local kids and picking fruits.

We were very naughty back then. Though grandpa warned us not to run around the rubber estate and wander too far coz there are tigers, we refused to listen. Grandpa would also explain to us how rubber is being processed and sometimes we would help the rubber tappers to collect latex. But we really had a wonderful childhood compared to the kids nowadays. Not forgetting we used to trap fighting fish with a container, placed overnight in padi fields, visit local pig farm, going to the zoo, secretly sand bury fishermen's sandals and never to be found, 5am morning jogs with grandpa up St Paul's hill, A'Farmosa etc etc. We learnt so much.....every trip with grandpa was educational. I miss it :(.

My childhood is my sweetest memory..the best chapter in my life. It was care-free, fun and exciting.......

My cousins back in Hong Kong....I used to visit them very frequently. My maternal grandma was a very strict woman and to be honest, I was quite afraid of her. But, she used to have a fridge in her room then. I would sneaked into her room, gave her a peck on the cheek and proceeded to steal some chocs from her fridge hahaha.....

That's my sister. She's two years younger than me. And can you see the bolster in the pic?? Haha...that was my safety bolster......I used to bring it anywhere and everywhere I go!! I would cry when I lost sight of it or when I couldn't find it. I used to sniff it before bed.....though it was filled with my saliva. I have a bigger and longer bolster now and I named it Sally hahaha..

Me in my kindergarten uniform......I was a very naughty kid. I still remember I used to get lots of spankings from mum because I would run around the house naked and all wet just after shower. My mum would be chasing me all over the house with a ratan rod and I would hide under the huge dinner table, still naked and dripping wet.....and imagined myself as this poor little orphan with no home to go back to and its raining outside and she's all wet and shivering haha....drama queen.....gee.....I can't deny I sometimes have over-active imagination haha

Primary school was the time I started to evolve :s......Ok, started with glasses. Well you see, me and my favourite cousin, used to admire friends who wear glasses, we thought it was cool and fun. So....we came up with a plan....to "blind" ourselves hahaha.....we would sit real close to the TV, on purpose of course just so we could wear glasses. My grandpa used to scold us for doing that as we would stick our little faces against the tv screen and watched tv in the dark. Anyways, we succeeded and we both got a pair of glasses, each!! Alright, not ur typical nice pair of glasses as they were huge!! Me and my cousin used to compare our glasses and see who owns the best pair.....judging from colour and frame hahaha......it was silly yes :s......I regret it now haha.

That's also the time when I became camera shy.....coz my mum would always "force" me to smile and say I look this and that in photos. Comparing to my sister, I started to feel depressed......

My depression didn't start till I was in Primary School to be honest. You know like segregation in a class? and also peer pressure. I was the geeky one. I used to have longer hair before I went to Primary School....But my mum forced me to get rid of it, said I dont know how to take care...though my sister was allowed to keep it. I would be dragged to haridressers and forced to have my hair cut as I was crying....

Primary School yeeks!! Hahaha geez...........it's selective photo haha....not that I had alot of pictures taken then....but this was taken during the last day of school....graduation. Gee....I looked horrible!! Can you spot me?? How about the girl on the right hand corner? Haha that's NicoleKiss hahaha....we were classmates back then and we belonged to the same group.....geeky group.....Maybe she would kill me for posting this pic but that's the only pic I managed to find.....as I would rather burn the rest :s ahahha....kidding....

Everyone evolves!! Aight??!!

Wars Of The Kiasu-ness!!

A Singaporean was on holiday in Malaysia. He was all having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter and jam at the hotel's coffee house.

A Malaysian man who was chewing gum, sat down next to him & started a casual conversation.

Malaysian: 'You Singaporeans eat the whole bread?'

Singaporean: 'Of course.'

Malaysian: 'We don't. In Malaysia, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants & sell them across to Singapore.'

The Malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the Singaporean listened in silence.

Malaysian: 'Do you eat the jam with the bread?'

Singaporean: 'Of course.'

Malaysian (chuckling): 'We don't. In Malaysia, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds and other left-overs in a container recycle them, transform them into jam, before we sell it across to Singapore.'

This time, the Singaporean retorted: 'Do you have sex in Malaysia?'

Malaysian: 'Why, of course we do'

Singaporean: 'Do you wear protection'

Malaysian: 'Of course! We wear condoms.'

Singaporean: 'And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?'

Malaysian: 'Stupid question! Of course we throw them away.'

Singaporean: 'We don't. In Singapore, the government secretly puts them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them across to Malaysia... That's the real reason why we banned chewing gum in Singapore.'

Where Are You? :(

It's been 5 months since we last saw each other. It feels like ages ago.......It's so hard. I want to see and feel you again so bad but I can't coz we are so far apart.......Where are you? :(

And here I am, sitting infront of my laptop in the dark, early in the morning, with tears welling up in my eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of you on MSN but still........no sign.......Then I would fumble through my hotmail inbox hoping there's an email sitting there waiting for me.....still......:(. Sometimes there's so much I want to tell you but I can't.......the distance is so great between us.

I wonder where are you? What are you doing at this hour, this moment......though we texted before I went to bed at night. But still..........I would fall asleep half way through and I would find myself waking up in the middle of the night, texting you, hoping to just hear u say "love u". But still.........no sign........

I Miss You.....

:"(

Baby, Will You Marry.......Oh, Nevermind!!

Haha I was reading this article during my lunch break at the office today and I find it funny but odd.....and cute at the same time......

Baby, will you Marry.......Oh, nevermind!!

LONDON (Reuters) - It is the one moment every man wants to get right -- and which London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji could hardly have got more wrong.

The luckless 28 year-old's dreams of giving his sweetheart, Leanne, 26, the ultimate proposal have literally vanished into thin air.

Hajji, of Hackney, east London, had concealed a $12,000 engagement ring inside a helium balloon. The idea was that she would pop the balloon as he popped the question.
But as he left the shop, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and he watched the ring -- and quite possibly the affections of his girlfriend -- sailing away over the rooftops.

"I couldn't believe it," he told The Sun newspaper.

"I just watched as it went further and further into the air.

"I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me."

Hajji spent two hours in his car trying to chase and find the balloon, without success.

"I thought I would give Leanne a pin so I could literally pop the question," he said.

"But I had to tell her the story -- she went absolutely mad. Now she is refusing to speak to me until I get her a new ring."

He is hoping the ring will still turn up.

"It would be amazing if someone found it," he added.


Awww.....poor guy!! I thought that was very thoughtful of him!! And sweet!! But he was just luckless.....too bad. It's silly that the gf actually refused to talk to him after the incident tho. I mean, what did he do wrong? He was trying to be romantic and she should be happy to have such a nice man.

Petty??!! Excuse me??!!

Grrr.....!! Am so annoyed so early in the morning, after I check my mailbox at the office today!! Awhile back, I was on medical leave. I had serious chest pains so I thought it was best for me to take a day off and pay the doctor a visit.

So I texted my team leader and took an emergency leave and later that day, I went to see the doctor (one of company's panel doctors). At the clinic I flashed my Genting Group employee card, only to be told I needed to complete a form before I could proceed with free medical consultation. In which of course, I was totally surprised as I wasn't told I needed to complete a form, which has to be taken from company's HR. So I was told I needed to pay.

Because was feeling very unwell, I had no choice so I paid and oen of the nurses told me I could claim the amount of money being paid from my company's HR afterwards. I just need to keep the receipt and that was what I did!!

The next day I submitted my medical certificate and got it signed by my superior and went ahead and claim the amount of money paid previously at the clinic to HR.

And!! 2 weeks later........I got this email

Dear Rebecca,

Greetings! Regarding the claim of RM40 for your medical claim, kindly be informed that HRD will not issue the petty cash for you as the clinic is one of our panel, if Genting Group employees visit the clinic, clinic is not required to collect money from the employees and the employees should flash their tag upon visit. As a conclusion, HRD will not issue the payment to you. Sorry for the inconveniences caused. Thank you and good day.

Regards,
KChei

Excuse me??!! Petty??!! I didn't know anything to do with health is considered of secondary importance!! And what's the purpose of medical benefits then??!! When I don't even have the right to fight for my rights as an employee!!
