Struggling in poverty, looking for a way out

Recently..i noticed that Edwin and KF are competing in their jobless counter..so..i guess today shoud be jobless counter day number 72. I have been jobless for 72 days. Well, i couldn admit less that it was a meaningful 72 days though. I have spent my time meaningfully with my beloved gf, Eileen and also my parents, which i have not really spent any precious time with them for the past 5 years. You can imagine how long UTP spare us from the academic calendar every semester. Even you can calculate how many days i was in Kuching. So, that explains why i think my 72 jobless day is meaningful.

Being jobless is one thing, being poor is the chain effect from being jobless though. I used to have RM500 allowance from Petronas to spend on foods and groceries..now, i have RM0 every month, and my bank account is always debited with more and more ATM withdrawal transactions. It's so sad to see the amount getting less and less by weeks. Who to blame? Me, myself, i, zhiahowe. I have always claimed myself as jobless, while i myself had never tried to apply for any jobs available in the market, or even part time job. My resume has been kept untouched in my pc in Penang although i have completed writing it months ago..Who to blame again? ME!

I have always hoped that money do grow on trees, coz i have a lot of trees around my house. How i wish i could plant a money plant, so that i can spend happily by just watering it everyday. How i wish. I have though of the Skim Cepat Kaya too...but its too risky.

So, i started to take the slow path by earning cent by cent from Vincent Dee. He taught me to CLICK all the way to earn some pocket money. So far, i have started for roughly a month, and i can c the money starts growing from cents to tens of cent. Hopefully, i will be investing more money into this thing and gain a higher return value next month. Kudos to Dee for teaching me how to spend my free time at home moneyliciously.

Just few days ago, i encountered a site, teaching ppl how to make use of their money. AND, coincidently, i have a friend is in this kinda business. This thing is what i show in my MSN and GTALK status message

" Start Saving RM100 a month, and every 2 years, you get RM900".

RM900 might be a small amount for us, cause you only get RM900 in two years time, which means, you earn RM37.5 per month. BUT, let's look at the amount u invest every month, for each RM100, you get back RM37.50. 37.5% of interest. It seems make sense to me, cause according to him, if you put ur money in Bank in the FD, you get 3-4% interest at most. AND, its better you keep your money in FD for a year untouched. So, i guess that's the good thing of FD. You can take out your money after 1 year. This plan encourages us to take out after a decade, so that we can have even higher return. Maybe it's more like a retirement plan for me. Yet, i still give it a try. RM100 a month is still within my capability. Oh ya, not to mention, we can invest any amount we want too!!If you start with RM200, you get RM1800 after 2 years. HAHA!!i bo lui..so start small small.

Today is 22.01.2009, yesterday was Sin Nyan's bday, and today is my Big Day. Eileen is coming back from Penang. Cant wait. BUT.Bad News IS, Spotty was sent away to my dad's groundsmen house for several weeks, as it is mating season now, and my two horny male dogs have been fighting whole day and night over her. Sigh..gonna miss pot pot ever since..

K la..no more pictures yet...lazy to upload..Happy Chinese New Year guys!!!

Life After Graduation, Before Employment

Unexpectedly..i hv graduated from my EnE Engineering Degree Program in UTP..so what? You might think another new phase of life is gonna begin..
Yes, indeed..it has started..and it all started with some trips around West Malaysia...around Penang..Ipoh...KL...Melaka...and now back in Kuching. What's the new phase here?
The answer is..im moving backwards...i have not progressed a bit in my life...sad to say that..im still unemployed..jobless...hopeless..and according to Josey and May Hua, i am useless...Life without aims is so boring..
Recently..u might hv seen in the press or media...SARAWAK is flooded..and it has been one of the most critical flood of all time..Sarawak contains Kuching...Kuching contains my housing area..the town..serian..batu kawah...and these are the places that are affected by flood..
Me, who have stayed in this house for more than 14 years...which means 14 years without renovation...was severely affected by the flood...in the living room..the water reached my waist level..and in the kitchen...it reached my thigh level..IF YOU ARE WONDERING IF I HAVE SURVIVED THE FLOOD...HELL YEAH!!!I AM SURVIVING WELL AND EAT WELL..!
Back to my life after graduation...Petronas has called up and requested me to show up in KLCC the next day...he called on Monday late evening..and the interview was on Wednesday morning..this was kinda too short notice for someone like me, who doesnt own a plane or have the power of a JUMPER or SUPERMAN..sadly, confusely, reluctantly, i rejected the interview and requested them to arrange the interview, either in Kuching or in KLCC at later date. To no avail...until now i have not received any phone call from them..so, i guess i will have to call them up to ask for an interview..
Speaking of Petronas, i have only realized that they are actually a very good company, with plenty of benefits and privilleges...well..u might want to find out yourself if u r interested in joining their workforce.. :O
Jenny has helped me to take the job application form from her dad..thank you JEN!#% Sorry to say that, i have not submitted the application form to SESCO yet...paiseh ya..no time..coz bz cleaning the house and rearranging the furnitures...Enjoyed the movie session v u n ur sis though :)
Now, Yee Ping wanted me to send her to meet a friend tonight..what shall i do le?? This girl..hurm..must hv something in mind..expecting me to wait for her for 3 hrs...HEY SIS, maybe u shud intro him/her to me..."
K la..i will continue writing this blog if im free la..duno wat to write d..basically..i have done nth useful for the past 1 month...and im looking for an inspiration..looking for a path..looking for a direction where i shall head in future...WIsh Me LUCK!!
BYE BYE DOTA!!Haven met u for 2 weeks..guess i hv segregated myself from u and other kakis...YOOHOO!!!

OH YA..one more phase in my life...my bro have gone to US to further his studies..his room is so comfy..with TV, water bed, dart plate, everything..sigh..that is his phase of life..not mine..well..i might wana wait for Chang Ge to intro me a job in the States...NVIDIA would want me to clean their floor..i guess~
