21

I'm officially 21 years old now so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! ... and as a present, god gave me a full time job =.= Yupz, I'm gonna be starting work today so it'll be great! Anyway, thanks everyone for all their wishes, really appreciate it and I hope this'll be a great day for everyone :)

Mind popping

So tomorrow is the big day for me with the exam. Really stressed out now, its like my head is being squeezed so hard that it wants to pop. Don't really know what to write out now cuz I'm just really really stressed. Besides, I have been trying to relax a bit by listening to my new addictive song Wedding Dress by TaeYang. Stupidly, because it was an emo or sad song which you can watch from my previous post, so it just made me felt worst. Anyway, I'm gonna continue reading my notes before I head to bed.

G-Dragon & TaeYang

Just few days ago I came across this song by Big Bang's duo of G-Dragon and Tae Yang performing in the Mnet Korean Music Awards on Channel V. Definitely a very nice song with great feel and tempo to it. Also, do check out Tae Yang's latest Where U At and Wedding Dress.

Almost end of November

Just a simple update here on what's going on now. So right, really really busy month trying to get a job so haven't done much posting lately as well. Actually, getting a job for me now is like really urgent as in do-or-die for me because you probably know I have been slacking for a very long time now so its really time to really get started. So one of my goal set for this month was to get a job and now its already almost end of the month. However, I've been attached to a UK company named Marcus Evans right now, going through trainings and hopefully, I will be able to pass me exams and get the job by December.

Been through a hell of interviews as well getting this far now. First, there was the phone screening interview where I was caught off guard (me sleeping), then 1st interview and 2nd interview before these trainings and exams which I have to pass later on. Its actually a sales telemarketing job, one which I never expected to be in because SERIOUSLY, if you know me well, you would know I'm not a very vocal person and neither am I a good communicator. However, this job is really interesting (more on this next time) and it really is a challenge for me to improve myself, learn, develop and train to be a better person. BUT then again, jobs not confirmed yet, so that's just what I'm thinking right now.

And also, because its basically a sales job. So if your good, you tend to earn a lot on your commissions so I'm really motivated by the amount I could earn so with that maybe I could use it to later start a business of my own? who knows? That's what I'm actually planning now... But again, just dreams. Still a long long way to go till I reach this spot I'm dreaming of. Then again, I will try my best to acheive whatever I can.

"TIME is your life. When its gone, ITS GONE!"

Above is actually quoted by my trainer who was the Sales Director in Marcus Evans. It really slapped me across the face and made me realize something. Honestly, I kinda feel like I wasted sooooooooo much time. Gonna be 22 next year and still haven't even earn my first 1000 bucks which is really really bad. I always wanted to start out early, be succesful at a young age, earn big bucks, drive big car, get recognition and stuff like that but 22 already, damn...

what have I been doing...

Gonna push hard now...

more Gaga!!!

Lady Gaga is back again with some new hits and tons of new, exciting, weird stuff in her dance videos. Oh, and not to forget those ridiculously groovy sunglasses are back as well! The new hits "Bad Romance" and "Dance in the Dark" are the ones to check out. So, here's the new hit single "Bad Romance".

Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!

Girls Soccer Like You've Never Seen Before

... well, at least its a first for me.

WARNING!!!

the convict

So here's Elizabeth Lambert, a defender on the University of New Mexico Woman's Soccer Team. She caused quite a stir recently in her soccer match with team BYU in the NCAA Women's Soccer Western Conference semifinal match where she brutally assaulted the opposing players in every possible way - taking a girl down by the ponytail, numerous punches to a girls head, illegally tackling, and kicking a ball into a girls face after she had fallen to mention a few.

we didn't think woman would fight. But boy we were wrong now weren't we?

What makes it even more amazing was that no one (coaches, teammates, opposition) stopped her after all her actions, more specifically, the referee of the match. I would think that she would have received a straight red card for putting her hands up to an opponent or two yellows which would mean a red as well but NO, she ended the game with only a yellow card.

However, actions have now been taken and she is now suspended. The following is a video of the action and also her apology to everyone.



So... Competitive soccer or just going out for blood?

Perodua D46T MPV... the Alza?

The Perodua MPV, codenamed D46T will be finally launched sometime this month. This MPV is based on the Toyota Passo Sette and Daihatsu Boom Luminas with minor cosmetic changes and probably differences in quality and specifications as well. If you're wondering what does it look like, then you've come to the perfect place. Here are some spyshots or leaked picture taken of the new MPV.

back view

It does look like a Myvi doesn't it? The most obvious difference between this and the Myvi from the outlooks is most definitely the longer butt. And while looking at the rear of the car, I also can't help but notice that the rear bumper has some Viva-ish and Myvi-ish combo look to it. But I'd prefer the overall look of this car over the Myvi because it looks rather more aggressive.

dashboard and center console

Hmm... I will say that the center console is rather nice given the modern look and the dashboard-mounted gear shifter. Credits to Toyota and Daihatsu for that! BUT... I heard there won't be any second row air-cond and considering the fact that we're living in such a hot climate, this could well be a problem for customers to think about.

under the hood

Rumours are that this compact MPV will be named the Perodua Alza. The launch of this model is expected to be at 23rd November and bookings will be available on the 13th November Nationwide.

And finally, a piece of advice now is that you shouldn't be buying a Toyota Avanza anymore because with the launch of this model, which is pretty much the same size as the Avanza and probably cheaper, it would mean that the demand of Avanzas will surely fall and the 2nd hand value of it will also plumet heavily. As for new Avanzas owners out there, I'm so sorry but you'll just have to put up with the pain of driving an old, outdated car instead of having the the excitement of owning a brand new modern car at almost the same price.

And that brings me to this thing that I have to mention. Please note that Perodua is actually under UMW which is also the parent company for Toyota in Malaysia. So the thing is that because both brands are trying to capture markets here, I don't know whether they are suppose to compete with each other but with the cars introduced, it seems like they are conflicting one another. One example would be this new Perodua MPV and the Avanza as both, I presume, are having the same target market. Now, would you buy a new outdated Avanza knowing that you could have a new Alza?



Besides, there is also the case of Perodua Nautica (or notty car?) and the Toyota Rush. As you can see above, both are pretty similar and difference is that the Nautica is a 4WD and the Rush a 2WD but I mean who cares?! I don't think that influences the buyer decision in any way. Pricing wise, the Perodua is at RM90,000 OTR while the Toyota is more or less the same. So the question now is, which would you rather buy? If you ask me, I would most definitely take the Toyota. Why? Brand ma! That's what most people here in Malaysia would say as well. And why would you even pay such an amount for a local brand?! Lucky our consumers here are smart as well because after its launch about 1 and a half year ago, I hardly see any Perodua Nautica on the roads as well. So is that bad marketing and management from Perodua? I would definitely say YES.

Norvambar!!!

Ahh... how time have flied, its already November. Well, I would say that November is my favourite month and how it is also turning out to be a good one by the looks of it so far. I do have a few goals set this month and it looks like I'm currently right on track with it, BUT... I'm not gonna reveal anything here first until it is achieved :P

Also this month, Liz came down all the way from Sabah!!! Although I only had little time to catch up with her, I'm still very happy to be able to see her after such a long time.

Miss ya Liz! and good thing you gained weight! :P

Besides, there were also friends who celebrated birthday this week. A very happy birthday to Keng Shen who has just gotten a new hair cut and looks damn yeng now. So I'll hope you'll get more leng lui to be by your side? hehe... Also a very happy birthday to Nicole whom I'm so so sorry cuz did not have chance to celebrate with but will try to make it up some time later. Wish you'll have an awesome birthday and may you look younger and prettier as the year passes :)

and not to forget... GO NOVEMBER BABIES!!! :D

Finally, I've been offered a days job experience tomorrow to see if I am suitable for the job position which I applied so it's gonna be really exciting to see if I will finally be able to get a job after such a long time. Just to put it short, I'm just really looking forward to what's ahead for the rest of the month :)

and that's is my update... I'm soooo tired and sleepy now... my eyes are literally crying in pain now so good night people!
