Life in Kaytee

Hello folks! I am back! Since there have not been offered in short semester, so I am now enjoying my 3 months break at my hometown. Hmm... Enjoy? Sometimes it could be dull because there is no cinema and shopping complex in Kuala Terengganu aka Kaytee. However, I sometimes accompany my mom to pasar and  I accustomed to listen to this "Eh, holidays arh?" and I feel like reply them in this way "Yea larh! If not come back visit u arh?!" instead of "Yea.. Yea..(with a smile)" Even though the life in Kaytee is boring but I still love it!

Before that, I actually tried to get a part time job in KL area which is related to construction field but after I contacted the person in-charge, she told me that I need to walk around 30 minutes from the LRT station to reach their firm. 30 minutes you know! Therefore, she suggested me to take a cab. What I want to tell her is "If you are willing to give me RM1000 as my salary, I am ready to accept the job." In the end, I get a part time job in Kaytee which is also relayed to construction field. In fact, the job should start in October but due to some reasons it started few days before.

I used to call the boss as uncle because he is my neighbor since I was born. On the first day, I reached the firm at 11am and he was in the meeting room. After that he introduced me to other colleagues. Next, he told me that "Actually your time can be very flexible larh~ If you want to come then you can come. No need to come here everyday." Once he told me this, I know, this is a non-profit part time job. I really don't mind about the salary because I am not even a diploma holder.

I am the kind of person who can't get along with strangers quickly hence till date I have yet to speak to my colleagues. One of my best friends told me that, as a trainee, you yourself have to request some jobs from your colleagues. Not just wait them to give you a job. Hmm... Well, I am prepared to work for them if they are willing to give me some tasks. But they can even play FIFA when boss is not around and it shows that the jobs are limited. Do you think they will give me some 'extra' duties?

Besides that, I am required to read all the drawings with the materials and it was just a drawing on the first day and so I used around 1 hour to finish it. Next, I was asked to read a Contract Document. I am kinda familiar with this because I studied it last semester. It is only a Lump Sum contact. So I had used 1 hour to finish the tasks which was given by the manager and so, from 12pm to 5pm, I repeated reading the same thing.

On the second day, when I reached the firm at 9am sharp, I thought I am going to do the same damn thing as yesterday. When I started to flip through the drawings again, the manager stopped me and said "You can also take a look on the catalogues at the back there and try to understand the price lists." and I was like "Thank GOD, at least, I got something to do!" I was so excited and read through every article inside but few hours later, I turned idled. Apart from this, I realised that almost all of the catalogues were published before year 2005. What is the purpose of me understanding the prices? However, I am now still reading the catalogues.

Few days ago, I met a Fortune Teller and he said my career gonna be well developed when I am 26 and he also added, my partner will come into sight when I am 24. Well, I am not a superstitious person but what he told me were quite true. He said I am a person who like to spend money and sometimes the way I speak is ill. Hmm.. Quite true! Hahaa! I guess my friends who know me well are nodding now. Right?
