am-i-darren

Have been quite occupied the past few days, on christmas eve I went to Yean’s birthday party.

On Christmas I went to Jo’s place for christmas dinner. The food was awesome! She practically cooked more than 10-15 dishes by herself. Yum yum.

On boxing day tried looking for cheap stuffs on sale but nothing could be found but instead went for dinner and movie with Wei En.

The next day went to Muriwai Beach. It was awesome. Went with quite alot of people. Went with Gjin, Gjin’s sis and friends, Jun Bin, Jun Wey, Edwin, Wei En, David, and a couple more that I can’t remember their names. Played some touch rugby, soccer, boogie board and fried under the sun. Practically in the end I think everyone got sunburn and Gjin told me I was the only one that is not studying engineering. Lol

Trying to get some of my personal stuff here done such as my work permit. Hopefully everything can be settled quickly. I need to prove that I have NZ$ 2100 in my bank. So much…. Don’t know how now. Rob a bank? Maybe ask someone pinjam first. Trying to convert my licence too. Need to sit theory and a practical test. Senang lar hopefully, but luckily doing it with Wei En.

Come to think of it, it is new year’s eve. I have no plans and I am staying at home today. Will have one or two friends over just to lepak. Kesian-nya….but if I don’t see you guys, I want to wish you guys here and back home, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be happy like me! *smiles* and *hugs*

Don’t miss me.

Muriwai Beach anyone tommorow?

Today I earn the most difficult 40 bucks. As you know on weekends, I have been passing out flyers for this club. I could only pass out flyers because there is nothing else available for me. My friend is kind enough to let me do anything that is available. So there was something available for mefor the next few weeks. The regular cleaner was unavailable. So yes, he said give it a try maybe. I was talked through the whole process yesterday with the cleaner and I started today at 8am.

First you start by picking up the rubbish on the floor. It is faster to pick it up than sweeping it. There was flyers, straws, bottle caps, chewing gum, empty small plastic bags with white powder(a few packs man), lollypops, tissue paper in the toilet and etc.

After cleaning rubbish, you vacumm the floor with this powerful vacumm that you carry on your back. Vacumming is not bad but it is too powerful and it doesn’t go smoothly on the carpet. Grrrr…

Then after that you move on to the best part. CLEANING toilets. I thought it wont be bad lar..but guess what someone vomitted on the sink. It was stuck with vomit and tissue! Woohoo..thank god I got a glove. Put it on, dip it inside and tried to unblock the sink, and guess what? I feel the glove turning cold. You guess it right! There was few small holes. So I have vomit in my glove. Feel like vomitting yet? Since it is in and I have no choice, I continue clearing the sink. Sigh….

After that, using the same and only glove I washed all the toilet bowls. Can’t stop thinking about the vomit or urine that is actually seeping into my glove when I am cleaning it. Even now, I keep on smelling my hands. *vomit*

After that you mop the dance floors, behind the bars and the toilets. Later when it dries you have to wax the dance floor. The last part was not that bad. But I the club was two floors. So I took around 3 - 4 hours to clean the whole club.

Isn’t that the hardest 40 bucks to earn. I went home I shower and clean myself few times…grab something to eat and slept till like 5 plus.

I don’t know I should continue working on or not. For the next few weeks. 40 bucks for one time and 80 bucks for 2 days. Vomit + toilet bowls + chewing gums……am I complaining too much or what? Should I?

BY THE WAY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN MSIA N NEW ZEALAND! WOOHOO and HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO! MUAKS + HUGS!! Enjoy!

Woo hoo got proof. I am a graduate. Needed this letter to apply for my 6 months work permit for graduates in NZ. Yes, I plan to look for a job here and gain some experience before I go home. If I do find a proper job, I would stay on and work but of course I have to fly back home first to meet my family and friends. Miss them too much. Not forgetting the food. So I guess my final decision on whether I am staying or not is after my graduation and the approval of my 6 months visa.

Been sending out quite a few applications for work but i have not much luck though. Sent a couple out last night by email and guess what, there was a call at 930am today. It was a disaster, I tell you. The employer called so early and I was still sleeping. Haha. She said can we talk now? Of course I said can. It was a short interview on the phone. Still feeling dizzy, I answered her simple questions about what I want to work as, when can I start, what is the expected pay(I didn’t know what to say) and all. She said the company will be closed for the holidays and will reopen in January, so she said she will contact me then. It was horrible. I think I will call her up again or send an email to her to apologize. Look more professional I guess.

I am kinda excited now, looking for jobs. At least there are replies and calls. Anyhow, wish me luck. Oh btw I got my results.

Video Post Production

Multimedia Project

Media Communication 1 (writing paper, I hate it)

Have a nice day.

I’m in my undies writing this. Too much info btw. I feel freakin hot, that is why.

Walked the whole city distributing flyers for a club event during new year’s eve.

It was raining, full of drunk ppl, guys pissing everywhere, my legs are tired, but just another day without a proper job.

Tough huh..a graduate passing out almost around 500 flyers in the rain. I guess just like Yit Chuan said, I have not tried hard enough. Must apply for more jobs from now on! I CAN DO IT! YEAH!!!

Wish me luck.

pointless conversation = pointless entry = i’m going nuts = auckland boring = someone talk to me or go out with me please…

Saturday,10 Dec @ Coca Cola Christmas in The Park

That was the closest we can get to the stage.

The whole Auckland Domain Park is filled with humans.

Kids playing with light sticks.

Was there with Hwei Gjin, Won(Yean’s Korean Friend) and Yean. The shoe is nice right? It was stolen by some %$#@*& asshole. It was Yean’s. Sigh..

Sunday, 11 Dec @ 21st Birthday Party

As mentioned previously, I attended a 21st birthday party and it was great. I mean of course not at first as there was a huge bunch of people that you have never met before. You know what I’ll do when I’m in a big group. Crawl, hide and shut up….LOL.

Luckily there was some people that are familiar and of course, I chose to sit with those I knew. We had dinner and there was ice-cream for desserts..complimentary from Wei En, the Birthday Girl. Then we headed somewhere else for coffee and ended up at railway campus(Auckland Uni Student Accommadations).

It was there I got to know some nice friendly people through playing games. We played Mafia. Some of you might have heard of it but I totally sucked at it.  I can’t lie at all. They can see thru me. But it is nice when a group of strangers just comes together and play games and joke and just laugh. You might even not remember their names(I do btw) but you just feel that nice lil feeling in you. Somehow you know they are all good ppl. But they are great liars though, hahahah no offence yah.

Monday, 12 Dec @ Real Groovy U2 Ticket Sales

At around 230am I headed back home, thank you Mr Shaun for sending me. Rushed home, grabbed a bottle of water, some cookies, cards and my jacket and was out again. I was doing the graveyard shift for standing(was sitting actually) in line for the ticket sales of U2 VERTIGO Concert.

Reached there and took over Mr Yohei’s place. Really have to THANK Mr Yohei as he started lining up since 1pm. Sent Yohei back and sat with Mark and Richard. Two middle aged guys. They were so nice. They offer us a place in the tent to rest and keep our stuffs. But I wasn’t tired so I just sat outside with them and listened to all their stories. Believe me it was really interesting.

Mark and Richard shared their sex stories, how they got lucky during work, during vacations when they are pissed drunk and all. It sure gave me a good laugh. Richard farted throughout the whole night. That was entertaining as well and he claims that he was just clearing his throat. LOL. Richard told me how he lost some of his fingers in an accident, how he nearly came to drowning and all.

In the middle of the night there was group of people that just started screaming and ran along the line. There was a pissed drunk girl running up and down singing Kelly Clarkson’s - Breakaway. It was horrible though. There was a cop that came and joked to us that the concert was canceled. In the end he gave us some chocolates. How nice. Strangers just come together, helping each other and having fun. Just like the party earlier. The world needs more people like this.

One more IMPORTANT THING TO ADD! THANKS KIM for smsing me!! She knew I was lining up, she send me a sms all the way back from sweet old MalaysiA!!! THank you dear…IT Gave me so much energy and a smile on my face! Hugs!

Honestly this is a really sucky entry. I don’t know what I want to write about.

The most important thing is I got the U2 tickets. It was really something. You got to be there to feel it. The long wait till the time you get the tickets. It was something I tell you. It gave me energy and I lasted till 4pm on Monday.

Tuesday, 12 Dec @ Muriwai Beach

Went to Muriwai Beach around 45 mins away from the city with Gjin and her sis. It was a nice place. First time being there. The beach has black sand. How cool is that. Black shiny sand. But when it gets on your body, it looks like you just fall into some mud or something. Lol. I tried boogie boarding for the first time. You lie on a board and try to catch a wave(water was freezing). It was fun, I caught the wave  once. Considered good for first timer. HEHEE..so Happy. THank you Gjin and Sis for teaching and bringing me there.

That was my weekend plus some of the weekdays updates. Pics will be loaded soon. Miss my camera.  I need to ask around for pictures. Anyway lots more to update. Lol

Adios

Hmm…what to update leh…

Regarding the previous post, guess what? I was wrong. The interviewer has some phone problems and he couldn’t reply me. But he called me up on Friday night and asked me to pass out flyers around the city. The pay was good. To add to that, he asked me to meet him next week for an interview.

So I guess everything went well in the end and there is always two sides of a story right. So don’t jump into conclusions so soon. But this time I will surely call. *note to myself

Plans for today is…

1) Say goodbye to Yuka which will be going back for good. Sigh..=(

2) 21st Birthday Party. Happy Birthday Wei En!

3) Camp outside a CD store for U2 2nd Concert in March,2006. There is already a long line outside the store. It started yesterday. The first concert sold out so quickly, U2 decide to have a second concert the next day due to high demand. I will be taking over Yohei’s place at around 3am till tomorrow noon, I guess. He started lining up at 1pm today. Feel quite excited. Never done such things before. Hope I will get the tickets. *prays*

Alrighty…will go do number 1 now. Not as in do number 1 but …ahhh..nevermind..heheh

Bet some of you would know what I mean. Hopefully..heheh

I was waiting for a job interview today. Reached the place at 1150am, as usual, early. It was supposed to be at 12pm.

Guess what? I waited for an hour outside the place and it was closed the whole time.

Why didn’t I call?

Firstly, I thought the interviewer would be late. You know..it happens, right. So I waited. I didn’t know I waited for so long.

Secondly, I was at the same time and place yesterday for the interview. But the interview didn’t take place as well. Because I doubted myself that I got the time wrong. So I texted the interviewer and he said it was Thursday. Fine, it is Thursday then. I was embarrassed because I wanted the job and I got the time wrong and all. Feel so paiseh.

So there I was today, waiting outside the place today for an hour. No one turned up. I thought I might get the time wrong again. SO I waited till 115pm just incase the interview was at 1pm. No one showed up too. So maybe I think I got it all wrong again and headed home. I was thinking that the interview might be at 12am as it is an entertainment place. So I decided not to wait any longer and headed back home. Hungry and tired I went home feeling unhappy cause I wasted almost 2 hours.

Feeling a lil unsatisfied I search all my notes and diaries to find where I wrote the time, day and place I was supposed to meet the interviewer. I remembered well the time and place. I wrote it somewhere but I couldn’t find it. After much searching, I found it. The interview was supposed to be on WEDNESDAY 12PM @ XXXXXXX.

I was like ….*$@%$*!X@#$%. But still I thought that I might have heard it wrongly when I called the interviewer. So I texted him again…and guess what?

No reply.

Sighhhh…………….

But still, I might have heard it wrongly. Or maybe the interviewer has just forgotten about it. It is understandable. It might have just been a misunderstanding. Who knows. So next time if there is an interview, call up the day before to confirm the place and time again and just don’t wait like a beggar outside some place.

Lesson learned.

Guess who I saw today in my boring, boring day. You will never guess it. They were at the uni quad doing some video shoot.

They consist of 5 people.

Each of them have their own specialty.

I was suprised they do their own stunts too.

Can guess?
