Sevanes has started working in PJ Campus, which means I can start counting down to my last day in UTAR.  Now, since Sevanes is already here, I think it is time for me to packing my things to handover to her.

I guess 1 month notice is a bit too long for me. It is so long that I have almost forgotten that I am leaving UTAR. Having pack workloads of course are also not helping.

Now, with the return of Mr. Deneish and presence of Sevanes, it kind of hit me hard in the head that I really have to go... It is time for me to move on... It is time for me to leave...

It was really fun for the past month and I really enjoyed myself. Thank you to all my colleagues who have been taking care of me. I really enjoyed being colleagues... and friends with you guys. It is definitely going to be one of the most memorable experiences in my life.

Confess


Not long ago, my long lost friend found me through Facebook. (I really feel that Facebook is a wonderful invention. It really does help you to find your old friends.) He is now facing some relationship problems and lacking of courage to confess.

I always tell people, "One person must always try not to leave any regrets in their life. A lot of times, chance only comes once. Once you missed it, you might not get it ever again in your entire life."

I know it is very difficult to make the first move. Even for me, it is very difficult. I may be able to show people what I am feeling; I may try my hardest to get closer to a person; I may attempt to make him interested at me; But, it would be too difficult for me to go forward and tell him exactly what I feel.

Maybe it would be easier if I am drunk.


However, if you never try, you will never know the end result. A lot of times, before they start doing anything, they will start to imagine. Instead of imagining good things which may happen, they will usually imagine the bad things. I think most people are just not so optimistic when it comes to relationship. However, things really might not be as bad as what they have imagined. In fact, once you have prepared yourself for the worst, nothing should be able to scare you anymore.

What is the worst thing that may happen after he confesses? The worst part is they may not be friends anymore. Of course he is definitely going to be really sad for losing a friend. However, look at bright side, after he takes some rest and move on, he will be able to find someone who will love him in return. Instead of wasting his time on someone who will not love him, isn’t it better if he can spend his time on someone better.

Sometimes, life is a gamble or we can also call it a choosing path. The way we choose may or may not have the result that we wanted. However, if we never choose/do anything, we will just be stuck here forever, without knowing how to move on.

Of course, courage doesn't come often. So, remember whenever you have the courage, move immediately, otherwise the courage may just go and you will miss the chance of clearing your doubts. Normally, second chance doesn’t come easily.

Dear friend, I don't know if you will be reading this entry, if you are, I sincerely hope that you will consider what I have just said now and yesterday seriously.

Rejected...


I was rejected for a translation job which I applied last week through Internet. :(

It is a job which I am supposed to translate proposals from English to Chinese. I spent so much effort and time in translating the trial copy. In the end, I was still rejected...

I am really disappointed with the outcome. I really thought it was not too bad and I will be accepted. I admitted that there are a lot of terms which I am unsure of what it called in Mandarin, but I have done several research through Internet to ensure that I get it right...

Maybe I was just too confident; Maybe I am just not cut for translation; Maybe I am not as good as I imagined.

First Translation Job


I have received my first translation job!!!

Now, I am officially a freelance translator for Cosway Malaysia. Finally, I got a part time job which I can work at home and earn money at the same time. Not just any part time where I have to go out to meet people, approach people, convince people. Now, all I need to do is stay home and type!!!

I am not too sure with the current market rate for translation. Cosway is paying me 20 cent per word, which I am quite happy with it. As a fresh starter, I won't expect to earn a lot. In fact, 20 cent per word is already good enough for me.

At the same time, I have also applied for some other translation job, let's cross fingers and hope that it will work out too!!!

I'm Going to Beyonce's Concert!!!


I just received my 23rd birthday present from Chong Lin, and guess what... I AM GOING TO BEYONCE'S CONCERT!!!!

I never ever watch any live concert before; it has always been a biggest regret in my life. Now is my first ever experience going for a concert, a Beyonce's concert, sitting at RM383 seats!!! Could life get any better than this???!!!!

I really cannot believe it when I saw the tickets. Yes, ticket'S', I am going to watch it with Jolene. To ensure that I will fully enjoy the show, he kindly suggested me to bring Jolene with me, as he felt that both of us will appreciate the show much better than him.

When I called her, she is soooo happy... I am sure that she is screaming and thanking Chong Lin right now... I guessed it is really an unexpected gift for both of us. :D

Darling, thank you soooo much for your wonderful present!!!

Resignation


I have officially tender my resignation. It has come to a point where there is no return. I sign the offer letter and tender my resignation on the same day. Deep inside, I know I will regret. Deep inside, I know I might not leave. Maybe that's why I wanted to settle everything immediately.

I must admit I regret almost immediately after I step out from Ms Tian's office. I am afraid that it is not a correct decision; I am afraid that it might be a mistake; I am afraid that TOA might not be better than UTAR; I am afraid that people in TOA might not like me; I am afraid that I cannot coped the job in TOA.

I keep telling myself that I have to look forward and step out from this comfort zone. However, it just seems difficult. Perhaps I just need more courage.
