2 Months Part Time Job mid Dec '09 - mid Feb'10

First of all, I would like to say, Hello Mr.Radzi!!! if you're reading. haha.

Well, I've been having 3 months summer holiday after exam. An opportunity was given to me to work temporary in Mercy Malaysia. Was very fortunate. I work as an administrative officer for Mercy Malaysia Sarawak Chapter. Throughout this, I've learn a lot of things, big or small, from planning, filing, organising a mission, taking initiative, communication skills, finance, even to pay bills. haha. Of course, I wouldn't be able to learn so much too if it isn't for the people around me who support me. Thanks to Aunty Jennie, Matron, Kah Yie, mommy, Natalie, Radzi, Suren's mom, Johnstan, Kasuma, Uncle Ben and Rita for the guidance and support. Thank you. =)

I've gain a lot from this job, not only learning and gaining experience, I've also met a lot of new friends and people from all walks of professions from medical fields like doctors, dentist, pharmacist, nurses etc.

Before signing off, One special thanks specially dedicated to Suren. :) Suren is the person who previously work there too. He has taught and help me a lot, a lot, a lot. He was also taking up the post temporary after coming back to Malaysia after graduating in New Zealand. His not only there as a colleague, as well as a very good friend. Now he has went to KL to pursue his second degree. I wish him all the best! Next time become doctor liaw, don't forget to give discount ya. haha. Lastly, thanks Suren. =) glad to have a friend like you. cheers~

Fulfilling Summer 2009/2010

Hello guys! i'm back! =D

Well, I'm here to share about what I've done for the pass 3 months during my summer holiday. Before I begin, last semester was a satisfying semester, and I'm satisfied with my result too. Alright, so much so for that.

1. Right after exam, I participated in an event known as the Asian Youth Day. It was held in the Philippines this year. It is held every 3 years. The last one was in Hong Kong and the coming one is in Korea. We started off in Manila for few days, it was called Days in the Diocese. We got to be adopted by the Philippino's family. My foster family was great! Will upload the pictures on top post later. =)

2. After the event, I took up a part time job working for MERCY Malaysia as an adminstrative officer for 2 months. It was a very meaningful and fruitful experience. I've met a lot of new friends throughout this wonderful experience too.

3. Adding to that, I've went for backpacking with some of my friends too in west Malaysia. We covered some of the places of northen east, starting from KL(3 night) -> Ipoh(1 night) -> Taiping(1 night) -> Penang(2 nights) -> Langkaw(day trip) -> Penang(3 nights). Jun from Labuan, Boon from Penang, and Me from Miri.

4. I continued my work till 2 days before Chinese New Year, and yes, it was Chinese New Year celebration. This year has been a very different CNY for my family and me. This year, we stayed back in Miri. It has been very nice too experiencing the new year mood in Miri. Went to lots of visiting and I'm very glad to be able to catch up with a lots of friends.

5. Today, is 21st of February. I'll be going to Labuan on the 23rd of February for 2 nights. It was a coincedence that dad is going there for work, so I took the opportunity to pop in and visit my good friend and her family, Jun. =)

Class will commence in 1st of March, and there goes my 3 months holiday. Somewhere in my heart, i still miss the time laying around, relax and do nothing. Well, I still have a weekend before class starts? haha. Shall stop here and let the pictures speak for themselve, and before signing off, hope it's not too late to wish everyone a Happy Blessed Chinese New Year.
