Thursday, April 28, 2011 / A Memory to Keep

It was a roadshow for almost a month. Even though it was only for 16 days, I definitely sacrifice my time, my sleep, my health, my opportunities for a couple of job interviews for this whole roadshow. But at the same time I gained new experience, meeting different kind of interesting people and most importantly meeting my new awesome friends. There were of course loads of drama that happened during this period. But it all ended well, I hope.

Well, I will definitely never forget this whole experience especially:
# Travelling all around Malaysia (Segamat, Melaka, Penang, Pahang, Terengganu, Kedah, Perak)
# Staying with a bunch of people in apartment/hotel/homestay
# Eating a lot of spicy food because the colleges/universities we went to are mostly local U.
# Sleeping late and waking up super early in the morning.
# Spending hours sitting in the bumpy van while listening to hours of Tamil songs during outstation.
# Playing cards until 2-3am in the morning.
# Sleeping and sharing a queen sized bed with two girls or sleeping on the floor with thin mattress. Sometimes without blanket too :'(

Sunday, April 24, 2011 / Freaky Encounter

*If you are not a believer of spirit or ghost, please DO NOT read this post. If you do read, please don't leave any offending comments. You have been warned!*



This was what happened during our stay in Terengganu. We reached Terengganu around night time around 8pm-9pm from Pahang(If not mistaken because I sort of forget the small little details). We were assigned to stay in this homestay place that was owned by a Malay couple. I won't get into too much details.

Long story short, one of my teammates was possessed by a Malay spirit and we have to leave that place immediately in order for that spirit to leave her body. We were stranded and left to find hotel at 2.30am something. Needless to say, we only have 2-3 hours to sleep before working on the next morning. We were supposed to stay for another day and then head back to Kedah after that. But, because of what happened, we all went back to KL and only go to Kedah after that. Some girls quit the roadshow because of the incident. I think this is by far, the most "happening" roadshow ever. I think my teammates will never ever forget this experience, just like I do.

So after that, we went to Kedah and Perak for our two last outstation. Luckily, nothing happened. After that, we were safely back in KL. I never feel so much safer in my own house.

Just a precaution to anyone who is going outstation and living in hotel or homestay. This is what I have learned so far based on my experience.
1. When you first arrived at the place you will be staying, remember to knock on the door and says "Sorry to disturb, please allowed me to stay for one(or how many) night(s). Please forgive me if I have done something offensive"
2. When you are inside, remember to open the windows, flush the toilet, turn on the water tab, make the bed messy and don't put your shoes nicely - put it as messy as it can be
3. When you are staying there, please DON'T ever complain how dirty it is or how you are not satisfied with the room, etc.
4. Please DON'T take any pictures of the house or the room.
5. If you are staying at some state such as Terengganu or Kedah, remember to wash your sanitary pad if you are having period as this is their culture and you need to respect that.

I definitely think twice if I am being ask to go outstation. This is one unexpected experience that I never thought will happened to my life. The end.

Another freaky thing is my stupid handphone sort of went crazy after that. The incident happened on the 7th April and we arrived in KL on 8th April around 8 o'clock in the morning. So I called my mum when I arrived. And that's basically when my phone stop recording my call. You know there is this function where you can see your call record such as answered, dialled and missed call right? Yeah, so my last record of call until now was on 8th April. So, one more thing is that I remember my supervisor, Jeremy got called me on the 7th, after that incident to ask us whether we got extra mineral bottle in our room or not. Guess what? I couldn't find any record of it and I swear I didn't delete it. I even took out my sim card and put it back, but the call record is still stuck on the 8th and the date before. I don't know why. I just know I need to change to a new phone soon! =(

Sunday, April 3, 2011 / Roadshow Trip

I'm sure most of you will wonder what am I doing after my graduation. Have I found a permanent job? Nope. Have I send out any resume to apply for any job? Not yet. Before my graduation, I have already promise my ex-colleague to help out in their roadshow as a brand ambassador. I almost back out because I want to find a permanent job already but because of me, they are lacking one girl for the event. So, feeling bad enough, I promise to commit to the job until the end of April. I won't said what roadshow is that in case it is suppose to be company top secret or something like that.

It is tiring but at the same time we get to travel to many places such as Penang, Segamat, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan. First time I stepped my foot on Penang land. Loving the view when I woke up in the morning during my stay in Century Bay apartment.
