Mathematics

I went to the kumon interview for the position of an assistant. I'm tested on maths, and it's all those fractions, simultaneous, factorisation etc. Without calculator! 2 pages of fractions, imagine I had to manually multiply the denominator one by one. After doing that test, he gave tougher maths and asked me about complex numbers. I almost forgot some of them, the form 4 addmaths. Sheesh.

He will notify me by next week. 27 working hours a week, hourly rate of 4.00 or 4.50 according to my ability on the level of maths. I thought it is administrative work, but seems its more on being a teaching assistant. Wednesdays, sundays and public holidays will be the offdays. And saturdays only work from 10 to 2. Other days are from 5pm to 10pm. Not so bad, I still can hang out. =D

There are 3 more candidates to be interviewed. If I don't get this job, then I shall just slack. xP

Meet with yoke!

Yoke has hols, I have hols! haha, means we could go out since we stay so near to each other. Planned to morning walk but both of us just overslept. =X Noon she accompanied me to bj to search for cheap tracksuits, lol. At last I bought 3 pairs. I thought of doing cross stitch in my holidays, went to the shop and found that it's 25 per piece, so expensive. =[

Later we went to the bayan baru foodcourt for the lai hoe's fish tomyam mee. Tasty. =D I like the soup.


me & yoke, she tempted me to eat! :P


4.50 per bowl tomyam mee


normal picture


Big faces! we used face warp, hahaha


Just now I also went to kumon outside my house and asked if they wanna hire part timers. Later I gonna go there to meet the principal. Lets see how it goes.

Where is your mannerism, senor?

I dislike people without mannerism especially to older people. Argh.

first : standing there looking at a person lifting a heavy luggage which is yours, not the person's, without helping.

second: don't give priority and comfortable seat to older people.

third: unlock the door of the seat, and impatiently not waiting for the driver to unlock the main one.

fourth: didn't close the door properly and it's not tight, then, he just walk away though he knew it.

fifth: waiting impatiently and ask stupid questions.

sixth: tune the aircon to a colder one and make all of them face it to you, not considering the people at the back need some aircon too. Hmph. This is not your car okay.

These are the scenes happened when I'm sending my uncle from miri and his friend to the airport. His friend is seriously a no-manners adult. And this is the way you treat my grandparents?Booohoooo. Can't tolerate.

On the way back, I kept telling my ama how weird he is yada yada. My ama didn't scold or correct me, meaning she agrees. haha

Hidden Recipe Cafe

Went out with cg members and had our dinner in hidden recipe as one of them is pursuing his studies in kl, sort of a farewell dinner. Hidden recipe is situated just beside Infinity cyber cafe in sungai dua.

The food there was pretty nice and in big portion, for the case of my black pepper chicken (includes fries, baked corns, coleslaw). I ordered set dinner and it comprises soup, lemonade/coffee/tea, bun with butter, icecream and the main meal itself. Inti and usm student has the privilege of 10% off. So mine was 13.40 after discount, before it's 14.90. Quite worth it and alright for the portion they serve, besides, the chicken is quite yummy. And I like the coleslaw. Was feeling so full after that.

Hidden recipe has a mix of western and eastern cuisine. The oriental set is 6.90, western set ranges from 12.90 to 16.90.

Eg. western and oriental main meal

I just realised 18 is at krystal point. Dot dot, I'm so blur, been there so many times and didn't know the restaurant is there.

Fun facts

Hola, buenos dias.Just finished watching some series via youtube. Nothing to do so here come my fun facts.

-I never been to red box. Interesting eh?haha
-I could trip myself walking on a flat surface, on tiles. =X
-I collect 1cent coins, over 100 of them and other foreign coins. Keep as souvenir. xD
-My dreams, as in the dreams when I'm sleeping, mostly are fantasy and fictional, with special buildings and places which will never exist.
-I still can't go out at night. Sighs. haha

Ok, enough. Oh and I have a lil' trouble remembering the pronounciation of the spanish words, so many different phonetics for each alphabet. Hope my eagerness is not temporary. :]

I bought the book! At last

I bought a self-learning spanish book at last, on my own expenses from borders. :D Coz' usm don't have enough students to conduct the classes, have to wait till july intake, and the course will be until october which I won't be able to finish the course. =[ After some fussy choosing and some help from mr an de lu, I bought the cheaper one since I don't know how I would progress learning myself. Wheeee, get this book at last and an audio cd inclusive.


And before that, this an de lu woke me from my nice sleep in the rainy morning at 8am. Ahems. He wanted dim sum so I suggested max gourmet opposite queens, went in to park, and realised it's starting business at 11am. =( Have to go back to the same place, pekaka. Since he owed me, that's his treat, yay. And thanks.

Then proceed to queens for paul blart, mall cop. Kinda hilarious, entertaining movie. I like the scooter for the security guards. hehe


Tried the dark berry mocha frap, quite nice too. I also bumped into a few dcmau classmates when he's having his lunch in kfc. Had a short chat with gaiklyn in guess and she sort of verbally attack an de lu, funny. =P

Walked around and tried shoes. Crocs shoes are superbly comfy and nice to walk. However, the shoes cost 140 bucks!Besides, today I seems to be attracted by leopard design stuff, haha.

Another thing, this morning was raining and he took my pink umbrella. Then he likes to carry handbag. Perhaps after going to inti uc, your taste has changed? xP Anyway, wish you luck in your isat test this thursday!

Back to ama's house, played with my cousin bro's rubik, I couldn't solve. The green part was solved by him. =X




My mum asked me to help in her office, when she asked, I was like speechless for a few seconds, don't know what to answer, haha. I don't mind actually, just that I wanna slack at least 2 weeks? Perhaps wednesday I may have to work, see if she asks again. hehe

Toefl IBT

Dragon-y and PC Fair

Dated saoyun/parrot and peiyee/aditip out today. We headed to Dragon-Y at suntech city near sunshine square for lunch. Previously I saw the dragon-y advert in the star, so I thought of trying out the food there. It is hongkong cuisine by the way.


Dragon-y: menu and serviette


mine
set lunch: hot and spicy abalone noodle, hot soya bean and dessert
I don't like abalone. =X It places under the category of mushroom and sea cucumber which I don't eat.

Since parrot and aditip had taken their lunch, they tried out the drinks and desserts.


tiptip's: grape shave ice and the dessert which is the same as mine


saoyun's: mango snow


cute tip tip =D


taken artistically by tiptip =P
me and saoyun

Then they accompanied me to the ever-so-pack pc fair. I'm lucky to get a parking slot easily. I checked out on the laptops and digital cameras for its prices and features. Toshiba's laptop seems like a good bargain for me. Saw shuling in action too, she's so busy.

Dropped them home and byebye, see you all next time! :D
