Hmm.. another job interview for a position unidentified. The lady on the phone sounds fun. Let's go try it out on Monday at 7 pm okay?

Entering the X world. Seriously.

Job hunting was a bit scary but I finally found a job. I was supposed to be hired for an Executive for Special Projects post but due to my overwhelming (ya, konon) experience in part time adminstrative works, they thought I was interviewing for an admin assistant post and hired me. Gee. I'm in a huge event management company with lots to learn, lots of promises but am doing admin for 6 probational months. After that period, they might consider me for projects. Dilemma's announcing it's arrival once more and am not entirely happy PLUS I have to commute 1 1/2 hours - minimum travelling time, mind you - a day. Is this worth it? Will I be happy at the end?

Well, who knows. This is fun, not knowing what will happen tomorrow. I should stick to it for now.

Some changes ya.

I've been off the net for about 3 weeks now and not updated this space for about as long, or perhaps longer and things have changed.

Moving house was fun in some ways but suicidal in others. I wanted to cry as I was so tired having to juggle with work, not falling sick and house moving for a mad woman - me. I have so many things and in despair, I sat at the corner of my room late one night, crying inwardly on how crazy I must have been to get so many things in 4 short years.

It's good to have proper housemates and I love my new room. I like the little house very much but things are not totally settled yet, though I've been staying there for 3 weeks already! For once in my life, my bathroom's attached. :)

Am feeling that this year would be fun and nevertheless, aimless & carefree.
I never realised I'd miss you so much. Gawd.. you've just been away for 2 hours. Come back!!!

Cambodia - Vietnam summary

These past 2 weeks have been a real roller coaster ride. Visiting the neighboring countries has been an experience, not one that's only full of rosy days and charming moments. Nevertheless, it was all good.

From being totally awestruck at Angkor, food poisoning caused by an iced coffee to nauseated moments along bumpy roads.. Siem Reap gave me a visit never to forget.

Phnom Penh was a surprise. Nicely boxed city with phoneless phone booths, Tuol Seng left the biggest impact on my whole visit. A city advancing to the future, but still tied down by the present and past.

Cheaters' wonderland, Hanoi. Hanoians are born to cheat, it's so in their nature to be pleasant takes an extra mile. I believe they're not all bad, it's just the majority who due to poverty are willing to negotiate the heavenly kingdom (or nirvana for some) with present cash. The late papa Ho's last real estate was a rather unique encounter but the highlight of the trip was to be there in December with summer clothes. The cold was unbearable for me, but with decent recently purchased attire, I was able to eat 'pho' (Vietnamese noodles) by the road side without being turned into popsicle.

And of course, I'm now blogging from my beloved Bangkok, shopping heaven No. 2 in the world. (No idea where shopping heaven No. 1 is!)

Good times, great tastes. Holidaying's always the best.
