Job Hunting Is Never Easy - Advice Needed

Photobucket
It had been more than a month since my graduation. Ever since then, I have been looking for job non-stop. Despite graduated in a Master Degree, it seems to be futile in searching for a job for me ~ I wonder why~ Most of my friends already found some fantastic jobs; only a few left (including me) still hanging around. I don't mind sitting at home; but the peer pressure is really enormous. 

The Reasons I Couldn't Find A Job
  1. Speed - some of my coursemates already applied job way before graduation. Yes, in this competitive world, we have to be fast (><)
  2. Timing - currently a lot of universities just had their graduations; therefore, this means more people fighting for the same position. 
  3. Interview skill - I wonder, is my communication skills that bad? I think my confidence is getting lower ....lower....lower....Will I die without a job (@@)?????
  4. Technical skill - I believe my results are quite fine. But, still it is so hard to get an interview....
  5. Choosy - I don't think I am, I applied any jobs on Jobstreet but it takes forever to get a reply; after waiting month long, it just stated that position closed (@@)..Heart-broken......
  6. Resume - Is it my resume not nice? Haizzzzz~~~~~
Until now, I got only 4 interviews with no feedback. Perhaps, it is time for me to rethink, replan, revise my previous action plans. Maybe, I am still lacking of interview skills here ........Anyhow, if you have any job related to environmental or chemical engineering, please just leave a commment.....Or, better stilll, give me some good advice in job hunting....(><) Hopefully, one day, I will dance like the dancing light in the picture. Nice illumination using a cloth (^^)

Chilling At Chilis @Midvalley

Photobucket

Foodie post is back again! I remembered going to Chilis@KLCC and blogged about it [here] 3 years ago (@@). This time, it was again for a celebration of a friend's birthday (^^). Yup, not easy since always go out to pay for birthday, now, without a job, I think it is so difficult to pull me out already (><)...... Hahaha, anyway, Chilis is famous for its portion and taste.

Photobucket
This will always be the must-order for me because it is the bottomless chips (means you can refill as many times as you want unless they are out of it, experience once in Midvalley)...@@~ Crispy and crunchy will be how you feel when you take one of these chips.

Photobucket

This is another dish which me and my friends would always order as well, because the portion is quite a lot until can feed 3-4 persons. For girls who eat less, you can totally share with your friends. The sauce provided really complements the dishes very well.

Photobucket

Another huge plate for this dish! The chicken meat is quite nice, something similar to Mamee Chicken. Hahaha, the french fries and the jagung really is fulfilling to my appetite (^^)

Photobucket

Of course, this is another must-order dish as well - sizzling plate of various dishes. For those of you who don't know, the roti-canai-like thinggy is re-fillable.!!!! Yeah ^^

Photobucket

For vege-lovers, Chilis also offers some nice dishes like this rice-combo. However, too bad, there isn't any vegetarian dishes here (><)

Photobucket

Here is the handsome guy who was celebrating his birthday with the complimentary dessert^^ Remember to tell the workers that your friend's birthday, they will give you a free dessert !!!~

Geeky Me: Hotmail to Outlook (^^)

Every now and then, I hate my hotmail a lot. Not only the loading speed is horrible, the attachment is slow and sometimes, some emails were lost on the way to the recipients; And, I was only notified a day later (@@). But, I still reluctant to change my hotmail to gmail, yahoo mail ... because hotmail was my 1st email. Moreover, I hate the advertisement on the right side; always ter-click the ads (><)

After 8 years of waiting, hotmail (Microsoft) finally decided to upgrade the system to outlook. Below is the generally outlook of Outlook! It is easier to navigate and the design is so much simpler without the hassle from advertisement. On the right side, the colour panel is available for colours selection despite lack of design. I believe they will add more options soon?~~~

Then, the email panel also undergoes a drastic change as below. My mom had a shock of her life when I persuaded her to upgrade to Outlook. The addresses will be inserted on the left side. I am so in-love with this interface. Then, the easy navigation to contact also quite impressive; therefore, I highly recommend you all to upgrade to Outlook bah; Just 1 click away (^^)

Anyhow, it had been quite a while I post something on IT stuff. I still remember I was such a nerd last time. Now, arrrr, I am totally normal; I prefer to be nerdy (><)...Tatatata~

Delicious @ Bangsar

Photobucket

While still searching desperately for a job, I found back some of the photos from my uni days. Ah, how nostalgic! 4 years just passed by mercilessly. Anyhow, the picture above showed the nice restaurant - Delicious @ Bangsar. We went to this place from Midvalley (apparently, there is a Delicious Outlet there 2). My friends said that Bangsar 1 is nicer~

PhotobucketPhotobucket
I ordered a nice honey lemon tea with a three-mushroom sandwich. Despite for me, they were quite pricey, I have to say that their food is quite okay for my taste.

Photobucket


Photobucket
They offer a wide range of delicacies from local food (nasi lemak) to western gourmet (burger, spaghetti). I curi-curi all my friend's food to have a try. Overall, the taste was okay; but to the girls, you can order 1 plate of spaghetti and share because the portion was quite large (^^)

Photobucket
The birthday celebration for Elaine will never be complete with a savoury of various type of cakes (^^) My fav 1 was the cake in a glass (Tiramisu); totally worth a try (^^)


Photobucket
They are all my girl friends..hahaha, hope that we will keep in touch and when you all get married, can invite me (^^). All the best in your career (^^)

Insectology: The Majestic Moth

Since a long time ago, I have a crush (not like killing them, but really love them) on insects. Despite their short lifespan, they are one of the strongest species in the world - super strong reproductive system which produces thousand of eggs; unique body parts - extra limbs; captivating colour like the moth above.

My university located in the center of a palm oil plantation. I believe this is one of the moth that can be found here? I need an expert here~ Because, this rare beauty is really out of sight in where I come from - Ipoh. Therefore, my fascinations towards this creature was utterly strong. Looking at its wings, the colourful pattern really attracted me (^^)

Photobucket
Having a closer look, you might even feel eerie (as for me, I am still fascinated) because it has fur like dogs @@ ~ No kidding!!!! The most interesting part is the leaf-like antenna. Omg !!!!! Yes, totally amazing how mother nature really is (^^)

Tata for now! Hope you enjoy this Majestic Moth Beauty. You can always look for my other insectology posts under the label insectology....

Choong Huat Steamboat @ Yulek, Cheras


This was taken during my 3rd year that time right after examination. We were so stressed! Yes, final examination tends to torture you a lot. Anyhow, my coursemates are always foodie-proactive, took us to this lovely steamboat restaurant, Choong Huat. You can see a lot of people are eating away by the road side, hahahaa~ 

As you get older, people start to hate taking photos. Hahaha, yup, my coursemates were so tired and horrible-looking; rejected my photo-taking session. Anyhow, here was the fishballs and the chicken meats, quite fresh (^^). One side pedas - Another side herbal (^^)

We also ordered the famous dishes there, chicken wings, and this lovely asam-curry fish which was quite cheap. Overally, we ate around RM14++ per person, which was quite cheap. Now, I think the price should increase already? It had been a while, can someone update me on this ^^? Good old days when I was still a student (^^)~~~
