19 april Trip Back To My Roots (KK, Sabah)It has been quite a while since my last entry. Why? Mind your own business. Well, to be honest, nothing to report and no inspiration to blog. Blame it on eveything else except me. It is not my fault my muse is missing.
Anyways, just as an update. I have resigned from Manpower Services some two months ago and now with Standard Chartered Bank as a Problem Analyst. Well, their IT arm anyways; Scope International. Benefits are similar to those of Standard Chartered Bank. Prior to that, I was officially unemployed for about two months, which sucked. I know what some of you are thinking, why did I quit even when I had no job offer? Well, fuck you all, I have my reasons. Just joking, the situation is so bad, that all my former team-mates in Manpower have left or going to leave. I won't bad-mouth them further, against my better conscience. Things couldn't be any worst. No job, single again, and no money. However, I'm now happy to be working with Scope International, and will be looking forward to be there for a long while.
Ok, back to more current events. I had a short break back to Sabah. This is in conjunction with my birthday that I was hoping to spend with my family. However, as I touched-down in Kota Kinabalu, my parents would be flying to the UK. Damn. Oh well, at least I would have the hole house to myself. I dunno whether it was good thing in the first place, but so far it has turned out to be quite nice. I didn't have to worry about coming back late or anything like that. Anyways, celebrating my birthday in KK is quite nice, esspecially with friends and my sister lah. As the clock struck 12am on the 18th of April 2008, the staff and certain patrons of Shamrock took it upon themselves to shower me with 3 jugs of cold water. The rest of the night was spent getting inebriated out of my mind.
The following day was no different, had dinner with my sister and some friends at Fish & Co. at Wawasan @ Waterfront. My sister had the liberty to informing the staff of the establishment to sing and dance there. Had a few fellas even take photographs as well. Time to claim rights to those photos. Anyways, had some drinks at Atmosphere which is located right in the middle floor (18th Floor, I believe) of the Sabah foundation tower. It is a revolving restorant cum lounge, where happy hours are from 9pm to 12am. The very potent Long Island Tea cost only RM10.50, which is a bargain considering the place is known to be quite expensive. Anyways, got quite drunk with just 3 glasses of Long Island. Had a nice hearty night with some of my friends; Eshmael, Brian, my sister and her boyfriend, Jaco, Naveen and his girlfriend and her friend Karen.
Well, I'm still in KK enjoying myself and will be going back tomorrow evening. Will be missing everything here. But I hope to be going back very soon again and visiting my family and friends again. |
