Randomness

Here are some pics from Westin.

When a function finishes, this is what happens to the flowers. Imagine this but 3 times more. We either chuck it and the staffs take it home. Most of the time we chuck.

Working in Lobby Bar. I like the front section coz it's the closest to the kitchen and bar >.>
Dirty chairs. Guests always vomit on them, spill red wine on them and etc. However, we only get them cleaned like once every 3 months or so. It cost AU$60 to clean each chair. Seriously!! You might as well buy a new chair.
The son of the Mosaic chef. He's a bit grown up now but still as ADORABLEEEE.
Been ASOS online browsing.

Here is my wishlist.





Will buy them once I get a job.

*****

Just went for my interview with Baiduri Bank yesterday. The position is for a Marketing Officer. Now I am invited to a pre-employment assessment on Sat. Fingers crossed I pass :((((

Happy 2012!

Woah, was going to type 2013. Squid.

2012 is the year of dragon!!

Although Lilian Too foresees that it won't be such a good year for us fellow fiery creatures career-wise. Uh oh.

She's that feng shui master expert who releases 12 books on each zodiac animal every year.

Back to about the career, it is giving me the jittery bugs about mine. Fingers crossed. As long as I keep on making an effort to find one, I'm sure I'll eventually land a good job :)

However, in terms of money and health, Lady Luck is on our sides.

Oh yeah babeh. Btw, my ASOS parcels have arrived!!! *exciteddddd

I just need to pick it up at the post office. It's weird tho coz back in Sydney, I just have to walk 5 mins then I'm there. Here, I need to drive 15 mins into town. No one walks here except the labourers coz people here are too snooty to walk under the hot sun.

Although I have to say, I'm seeing more people making an effort to stay healthy like cycling and urm.... *blank out*

I guess.

I am too!! Been walking the dogs everyday with my sis. Despite being in a kampung filled with Malays, they are quite friendly towards them. Pudding is such a cutie, they all love her!

Man Man on the other hand elicits responses like 'Anjing mu besar ah..takut eh haha'. Heheh my ass.

I've been cutting down on my food intake. All these is because I can hardly fit into my pants now!!!

I wanted to wear this pair of Zara pants I bought in Spore. I've worn it a couple times already but that time, it was tight, like so tight it's violating human rights. I am fat, again. Oh myyyyyy!!!

I feel like that chubby girl on MTV's I Used To Be Fat who cried to her trainer and said I just want to be happy. Awww, I feel you tubby girl.

Me no want be tubby girl....

I got exactly three weeks people!! I can do this and I WILL DO THIS!! Like it's not just a phase, I will stick to this coz holiday is over.

Till then, happy new year and 2012 is going to a be great year!

Idle and expanding.

That's my current situation.

Sucks major balls, what's worse, I'm losing this somewhat called 'excitement' I get from pouring all my rants, dreams, hopes onto this page.

BLogger used to be my 'secret' friend whom I would first think of whenever a dramatic event unfolds in my life.

But now I could not even make an effort to type in a few letters in order to log in. Instead all my time is spent on the two little dogs at home and 9gag and job-hunting. 30/30/40 not necessarily in tat order.

Waistline expanding - check
Getting tanner - check
Unemployed - check

That girl from Glee would be happy to place her fingers in a shape of a 'L' on my forehead.

All I have been doing at home is watch TV. Lots of them. HIMYM, Next Top Model series, Family Guy, MTV, Asian drama series...jeez, I need help. An intervention.

Slap slap, wakey wakey.

But hey, at least I have obtained the membership to use the gym and aerobics center at BSRC. I just need to wait for the lady to sign it so I can start using it. Could you be rather quick, lady?!!!
My clothes can't hold on any longer.

I hate waiting. Brunei moves at an extremely slow pace. We have a motto here, it's 'Don't work too hard, everything can wait'.

I have to wait for a reply for my job application, wait for my membership to be approved, wait for food, wait to pay, wait for everything!

Man........I want a new bag hmph.

Onto a more superficial note, I currently have 3 new pairs of shoes for CNY. Am adding another one to that number once I get my hands on that pair of beautiful black wedges this Sat. And countless tops and dresses.

I never meant to have that much stuff but whenever my mum asks me to tag along with her for CNY shopping, I end up with another item or two.

Bad bad.

My entire family and I will be flying to Kuching in two weeks time for CNY which means more shopping, oh lord.

I guess my aim of finding a job by the end of this year won't materialize. Better luck next year. I better do get by mid Jan otherwise I'd be broke.

One week in KK.

So I did not get the job at Empire. Sucks ass.

Anyway, I went for a week holiday in KK. Shopped, ate, laughed a lot. Especially with that two year old monster of a cousin.

At Poring Hot Springs.


Dreamworld Resorts.
With my dad.
Jeremy Teo Huan. The baby is now a 2 yr old.
He laughs non-stop at the randomest things.
At the pet shop.
Our apartment in KK.
With his blue truck, a lot of tyres. That's what he says...
Posing with the cutest dog which is not mine.

Eating seafood. Yumsss

On the way to Keningau.
Near Mount KK.
Eating durians by the roadside. I love!!!

With a super cute Golden Retriever


Toodles~~~

I miss and I have

I miss walking along George St and window shopping and actual shopping.

I miss going to World Square to do my Asian grocery shopping.

I miss having a hugeeee selection of salad dressings to choose from.

I miss having Chat Thai, Sushi Hotaru, Chatime, Hurricane's!!

I miss walking along the corridor leading to the entrance of Westin.

I miss the cool weather in Sydney.

I miss having a couple of beers with my workmates after a long hard day of work.

I miss bullshitting with the landlord.

I miss attending the gym classes in Broadway.

I miss going for hot yoga with Hayley.

I miss cooking for myself. I sort of do here at home. Not really.

I miss the guys' stupid antics at work.

I miss cheap grocery at Coles!! Here, a bottle of dressing cost me $7 shit ass.

On the other hand,

I have nice cars to drive here.

I have a big comfy bed to sleep in.

I have air conditioner which keeps me nice and sweat-free in this horribly humid weather.

I have a huge TV screen to watch movies on.

I have home-cooked meals everyday.

I have cute little Jeremy to play with.

I have my own walk-in closet and I can finally colour coordinated my clothes!!

I have the best chai kueh in the world :P

I guess you can't have best of both worlds.

Being a maid.

Hello everybody, my name is Lesley and I'm a maid. WTF

Since coming back from Sydney, I have not been very productive.

Daily routine - wakeup, brush teeth, eat breakfast, play with dogs (Man Man & Pudding), shower, eat lunch, drive my mum around town for errands, walk the dogs, evening mini exercise wtf (i'm getting fat and lazy!), eat dinner, wash dishes, shower, watch TV, take the dogs out for pee pee, sleep.

Rinse and repeat x 3 weeks.

Every now and then, I go to the post office to mail my job applications. I have sent 3 so far.

1) Brunei Methanol Company - Corporate service Staff. They are looking for event staff. I actually really want this because it is my field and my mum says the company pays real good. But I sent in my application 2 weeks after closing date so chances are pretty low.

2) Empire Hotel and resorts - no position yet. They gave me a call yesterday asking me to go for an interview. Finally a glimmer of hope. However, the guy said there are no promises. Just that he wants a proper interview with me and show me around the hotel so he knows where to fit me in. Hopefully it's a good position *fingers crossed* I really don't want to jinx it!

3) Brunei Press Sdn Bhd - Marketing and Promotions executive. Also looking for executives to handle events for their company as well as other promotional ideas and etc. To be honest, this wouldn't be too bad either. Hopefully they call me for an interview too.

It sucks being at home and not doing anything. If I was still in Westin, I would have earned a couple of grand already wtf.

At least my parents are being nice about it. They were like 'Take your time in these matters. Just see it as taking a long rest after working so hard while you were in Sydney'. Maybe I'm destined for a life of hard work FTW. Cannot seem to rest well if I'm not working hard.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will get a job by the end of this year.
