Who's On Dayre?!

Peepo, I am here to update a very quick post about Dayre!

Many of you who are obsessed about social media have been noticed about Dayre but don't bother to install cz some said they have too many commitments in social media. Indeed, I have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Blog, Imotiv and now I have Dayre! Bare with me this social media maniac. Lol..

Initially I refused to install but later on feel like giving it a try then if I don't like I may delete it anytime. All in all, I got so hooked up to Dayre. Lol..but you must have a bunch of friends who are updating it daily then only you will have fun doing it. So here I am to share with you briefly about this app! :-)

This is a mini-blogging app which allows you to share all sorts of things like a mini diary of yourself to others. User friendly and it doesn't crashed on my phone. 

This is the home page of Dayre. 
Choose any type of updating tools from the home page for example post a status as quote, upload a picture with words, upload a video with words, add a sticker describing your mood, and last but not least tag a location with updating some words. 

You are allowed to update every single post with maximum of 500 words. If you wanted to write more or update more pictures, then go back to your home page, choose a new tool again then write your story. It will sync as one day post.

The one beside the home page icon is updates of the stories from the people you followed. You can keep track with other's daily activities. How good! I called it as "kaypo apps"..haha..stalk at others so conveniently but that is how social media serves right? 

Ok la I know this will reveal more about yourself to others then you will think about security reason or whatsoever. But at the same time, you can connect with your friends more closely and have a greater bonding if both of you are in different places studying or working. 

If I have a friend study in UK I don't mind reading his/her stories as a student studying abroad. They may upload pictures of their campus, food, travel, or any daily activities. I will be glad reading it and comment to keep in touch with them. We support each each in a virtual way! *wink*

Click the left icon with the 3 horizontal lines then it will lead you to this page.

Tears of Happiness or Unhappiness?


Actually I'm quite upset now.

I know it has been so damn long for never updating my blog and I have tons of work waiting for me to get them done once I arrived in Penang.

I know it is my fault for procrastinating all the assignments and do it so last minute but that is part of student life right? Rarely heard someone said they have completed one or two weeks ahead before the submission date. If you are one of them, you deserve to be credited.

I'm so upset reason being my 17 years of student life has almost come to an end. I know I should be anticipating the excitement of working life and is time to step out of my comfort zone to unleash the potential in me.

Ya I should be glad that I got short listed and successfully enter the company that I am desired for BUT at the same time it tells you, hectic life begins soon and welcome me with a big big hand. Oh gosh..right after my intern then that's it, the real working life is awaiting me.

Apparently I left 2 weeks before submission deadline of 5 to 6 assignments *next weekend heading to Ipoh with course mate, if I am not joining then I have no idea when will be the next meet up*, 5 weeks before study week begins, 8 weeks before my 15 days of holiday begins *but I don't think I have any time for travel as I need to prepare for accommodation and settled down in KL before the internship starts on 1st of Feb*, 10 weeks before my internship starts then..bye bye student life! 

Ahhhhhhh!

I should be given enough time to get me mentally prepare about this since I'm doing 4 years course but don't know why at this moment I don't really feel like leaving. May be staying in comfort zone for too long already. :-(

My internship will be damn hectic and busy, I don't know whether am I going to have time to juggle between work, blog, personal interest, relationship, family, so on and so forth.

Guen, finally, the day has come. If you have never counted how many days left, you wouldn't know how much time you still left spending in university.

Things that you want has come true. Working in your desired company, manage to see your bf nearly everyday, new life begins.....but why are you not happy instead?

Perhaps I need more time to get used to it. Transition period I would say. Ok, transition period..luckily I have him and my family who always back me up. Thanks to my family who has always been a great supporter for me. My mum is more nervous than me when I went for the interview. She really hope to see me doing well in my career. I hope I did not disappoint her and my dad.

Appreciate for all the opportunities given. I'm blessed to have 4 years interesting university life, interesting and lovely people that I have met, thanks for the guidance and toleration from all the lecturers, thanks for giving me this learning platform which allows me to groom myself and grow at the same time. With all these experience gained, it leads me to work with the company that I'm desired for.

How about you? Have you reflected what you have done in this 4 years? Have you found the company that you love to work with? What do you think you will miss after leaving USM? I'm gonna walk around to snap the beautiful campus before leaving.

I will try to do my best to juggle between so many things after settled down in KL. Give me some time to step out of my comfort zone. Is time to grow. 

p/s draft this post with iPad mini. So convenient! Easier for me to blog anytime, anywhere with wifi connected. ^^

Happy 5th Anniversary, My Love!

Play this while reading the post! Hehe..



Enjoy.....

I think I should draft the entire trip to KL celebrating my anniversary with the love instead of the anniversary dinner only. :-) He bought flight ticket fly me to KL instead of me going there by bus but I still prefer to travel by bus. Lol..quite troublesome as I need to go KL Central by Skybus and it is quite a distance. He is working so he can't pick me up from LCCT.

On the 24th October 2013 which is the exact date of our anniversary. Fly fly fly...

IMG_5563
Bye bye Penang!

Uncle Jang dinner! Not as good as the first time we dine in. May be I compare it with the authentic korean food after came back from Seoul! Lol..Some of the pictures uploaded below actually keep for ourselves but ended up uploaded here. Impulsive decision la..><

IMG_5577
Including this! Lol..

After dinner, we go KL city "long kai". Then pass by Texas Chicken bukit bintang so he went in to buy one set to share among us! Damn full and fattening lo I tell you! Unhealthy! But very sweet of him!

IMG_5580
Tadaa the yummy Texas Chicken! Will go again!

The picture of me without eyebrow! Eyes bloated like what! Haha..

IMG_5586

On the 25th October 2013, dress up to fetch the love from work then dinner together.

I tell you lo! I have no idea what to have for my anniversary dinner. Initially we picked home dining but unfortunately it is full booked so I was searching around then at last decided to go for international buffet in The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur since they have everything! =="  

IMG_5599

Ahh..take as many macaron as you want! Macaron feast! First time seeing buffet provide macaron as dessert! 

IMG_5613

I never love macaron cz to me it is too sweet and nothing special. I think the last time I tried is from Komugi Cafe *too sweet and nothing else* but this one is so delicate and I just love the thin crust with the soft filling in it! Awesome!

IMG_5614

DSC04844
Rare moment trying macaron cz it is too expensive!

Their dessert is too yum but too bad I'm bloated! We both agree that I eat more than him! Lol..I'm super in love with this mousse dessert! Forgot what it names! Hehe..

I'm thinking what to have for this 5th anniversary pressie. I have not given him present for so so long already cz seriously I don't know what to buy. At last I saw this! Hehe..transforming our instagram picture into magnet! Personally I think this is not a expensive gift but special la..for future fridge decoration purpose! Lol..

Guen's on Intern #2


Yayy..just received an email from a company that I'm desired for at 5.58pm on the 1st of Nov '13! Hmm..wonder why are they staying up so late even it is on Friday evening. Anyway, appreciate for replying me..I have been waiting for so long! Please call me soon..I will prepare well for the interview!

On top of that, I received a job offer but too bad it is not the department that I chose during the interview session. Anyway, I'm grateful for that. I will hold off this offer till the expected date to reply. :-)

Hopefully I can hear from more companies. What Mr. Y said is right..I should give them more time, can't expect them to reply my email in few days time as they have priority in handling their emails. More time more time, give them more time.

Will update regularly on my progress! This topic will continue till one day I start working as an intern and blog about life working as an intern! Hehe..;-)

Excited!

It is good to fail sometimes. If you have been winning all the time without failing, then I believe you would have won in vain. 



Guen's on Intern #1


I think I should mark down my Internship application journey so that one day when I read back I know exactly how I feel at this moment. Lol..

People usually keep to themselves without sharing it with coursemate cz they are afraid their friends might submit their resume and unintentionally competing with them. However, I would think that there are many factors determine on the decision made by the employer, for example whether the aim and value of yourself fit in the company's culture and so on. It is not solely based on our academic and outstanding curricular activities and soft skills. Sometimes it depends on luck though.

10 days ago *21st October 2013*, I have sent my application to FMCG companies mainly based in KL. No updates from them. Then you will give yourself lots of excuses, ==" may be they need more time, may be my resume has not been seen, it has been keep in view, so on and so forth. Hmm....


Thoughts has been running through my mind. Should I apply to those industry that I'm not interested or solely follow up with companies that I'm interested and keep waiting? After all, I decided to on hold applying with FMCG companies then I will just follow up closely and cater my application specifically for the companies that I'm interested.

Then my next target would be Advertising industry. Is very important to stand out and sell yourself in the cover letter when you talk about applying job with advertising agency. Is not the professional corporate cover letter and resume we should send to them, instead I shall be thinking out of the box on how to impress the employer, what is my selling point, what is the speciality of myself, what makes them think twice about this candidate and bla bla bla...hopefully I can do well on this!

Finger cross that luck is with me. Will update it regularly on my progress. Good luck to myself! :-)

Things happen for a reason. Stop thinking what could go wrong and start thinking of what could go right.
