Just keep swimming..swimming...swimming!!!

Well let's see we have come up to the part where I went home eh......NO I didn't bum around and have an extra holiday,believe it or not I got a job, the very week I reached penang I started applying and one week later I landed a job at The Northam All Suites Penang! (by the grace of God )

Post: Management Trainee

Department: Sales& marketing

Job: Sales Coordinator

the pay was awesome,the colleagues awesome, and thats about all that is awesome about the Job! EVERYTHING else was definately NOT easy! 6 DAYS a week....almost 9-10 hours a day!

Stressfull,performance based job it was! you had guests on one end and management on the other end to deal with..not a pretty combination. There were days I wanted to just give up but there were more days where I loved the challenge, and it wa so gratifying going through hell to get things done!

As you may know with a job in the hotel industry you don't get much of a social life because of the unsane hours! however I still managed to squeeze in hang out time at night...it was definately the highlight of every week becasue I could just unwind,relax and finally act my age..and be amongst people of my ranks!

I also had 2 weeks of free time once I stopped working before my flight back, so that was a good dose of hang out time and 'enjoy penang while you still can time'!

Work

Office pet

office wear...I had to go shop for office clothes...needed work shirts,black skirt,coat,black covered shoes..and number 24 stockings! hahhahahaha! oh and the worst part..I had to spend so much on make up!! so not my thing!


Welcome lunch with boss at the hotel chinese restraunt!..famous for it's food...people have weddings at our hotel only because of the food!

Last day- Lunch with the gang!

And of course no trip back home is complete without food..these pictures do no justice at all!! i had so much more to eat....and went to way more places... but each time I would gobble up the food therefore no pictures! was too into the food!

International buffet dinner at E&O....ruthy and I must have had about 5 plates of seafood pasta cooked to our preference,heaps of duck...sushi, and moreton bay bugs (the fellow) etc. Not forgetting dessert...stuffed myself silly...


Coffee Island was like a usual hang out spot...anytime we just wanted to chit chat and chill we went there...

Steamboat!

Behold everyone!! this is RM9 Char koay teow!!! trust me we finish every morcel of it...left nothing behind!

And as if we hadn't eaten enough..we had waffle day!

This trip was a trip filled with up's and down's. But I am not complaining as it was a real adventure...a time where I had to learn to grow up fast, I learnt more about myself as well! but MOST IMPORTANTLY I got closer to my mum and dad! now that is PRICELESS!

Just for kicks!!! nothing wrong with him SERIOUS!

It is so true that God sends angels in the form of friends especially when you really need them!

My Angel number 1

Angel number 2

I have many more angels.....just that they were not around at that time...but they were there for me still..throught fb,msn,sms, and although I was cut off from many(my own doing) I knew they were there....you guys know who you are hey!! And no matter what...eventhough we don't speak for months and months...when we all meet up at the end of the year ...it's like the time away never existed! now that's what FRIENDS are!

That's all folks....thats what I was up to the entire time I was M.I.A. A quick summary just to get going again....so from this post on will be new happenings!

Shall we continue?

I promise to be quick..

ok lets see I came out of hospital and was just bumming around waiting to go back to Aus BUT! I was not so fortunate...I continued to be illl...was in and out of emergency(public hospital) for about a week....finally my parents said NOPE this is not good and I was rushed to a private hospital after an episode at home...I was in hospital for 3 days and was happily discharged on a friday...however on Monday I was back in and was there for a like 12 days or something.( 1 week of uni had passed)...4 days after was discharged I flew off to Aus back to uni!

Another BUT!

Three weeks in Aus and I was yet again on a plane ...this time coming back to good ol Penang to get treatment because I couldn't cope.

Shaun was kind enough to put on a show for me!

I love their super comfy pyjamas!

oh WAIT! how could I forget....My friends in Aus sent me off with a bang!

Scrapbook with messages from all of them in it!

See guys there..that little island....that's where I am going

Moving on

Ok so after a great week-end the very monday after the Sunday we got back home I went to the hospital to get my blood test reults....well I went to a private hospital a about 2 weeks before and the docotor insisted I see a hematologist and get my anemia problem which i have had since as long as I can remember sorted out...thing is the best hematologist in my state was in the public hsopital, I didn't mind though, becase it was just a check up right.... WRONG! My hemglobin was so low the doctor said she was suprised I was walking around..and there was no way I was flying!

Next thing you know my worst nightmare began! I had to be admitted! and in the public hospital there is no chance of getting first class wards! even doctor's parents were waiting! so I had no choice but to settle for an open ward.. oh boy I CRIED and Whined so much! ok Fastfoward.......


In the end I was in there for 3 days...I was allowed to go home everyday for two hours to shower and use the loo! thank goodness!!!





BUT what happens when its 2 am and you need to pee so badly!!!!!!!!!! well you got to go of course... I CLOSED MY EYES HELD MY BREATHE and used the loo..WOW!! what an accomplishment...considering my OCD...yes folks... I have OCD and I used a public hospital ward toilet!!! Well after two blood transfusions, heaps of blood tests,and an endescope and a pile of medicine I was sent home!

and now the pictues....





To be continued.....
