In memories.

Today is my last day working at ISD,tears dropping from my eyes when looking for the last time my workplace. For 6 years, I being bold, patient, be as positive as I can for survive in this company. I never thought today is the day for me.

Flashback,I came to Penang with empty hand and still wondering what should I do if I can’t find any job, with few ringgits in my wallet I’m hoping to get job as soon as possible.  While waiting my friend interviewed, I was sitting at waiting area and reading the newspaper and I saw advertisement that they hiring for Interior Designer; with one called, I get called for interviewed the next day.

When my friend finally start work, I tried to figure out the place with taking bus, yes, I remembered that day how sweating I am, walked non-stop looking for the bus and exact place. Only Allah know , when I’m almost want to giving up. After found the office and interviewed by them,they asked came for second interviewed for consideration.After interviewed, I walked around at Komtar and applied job at MacDonald as my back up plan. Yes, I never give up as I always think for another option.

Finally, on July 2007, I started work with this company.One years period, I felt want give up with this job, being underestimate by senior, language barrier since most of the contractor spoke in Chinese, my lacking experience on site and list go on. But I keep told myself, I need to give myself to try and be patient since there is no easy job in this world and at same time I need money. Since, I’m made decision to be independent, so I’m totally dependable to my monthly salary.

For myself, from days to month and to years I’m always in process of learning and gain more knowledge in this field. I keep on focus for works even I always had feeling to resign and looking for better job.

I keep seeing people come and go at this company, and never thought finally today is the day.I made decision after one of my best friend told me, I deserved better position, salary and everything and that moment I felt someone is slap on my face. For 6 years, my salary like fresh graduate, the ugly truth office politics I faced for like everyday, boss hardly appreciated my hard works, overloaded works that killing my social life.

Finally, I tried my luck with sending resume for certain company.

Alhamdulillah, I got the job, work with big company in Kuala Lumpur which is listed company. I’m grateful.

But, how bad the company treated me, I believe, there is no perfect in this world. You need to give yourself and company gain trust and work together. That all.

I’m pretty sad for leaving Penang; I had spent my life for like 9 years. 3 years to pursued my degree and 6 years for working life. Such a long journey and soon I’m going to start new life at new office, friends and environment.Something that I wish for my future,for better life. InsyaAllah.

I will be miss my good friends here, they really good friend who share my bittersweet memories. Even though, we are different race, religion but they really like family to me. I’m glad to having them in my life.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sire Museum,Penang

I'm feeling so blessed with having them around.My farewell dinner was great, even tho one by one can't make it on that night but this 2 girls really keep their promises.
The place really had good ambiance, romantic and very elegant to dine in. The Sire Museum located at King Street,Georgetown. If you dining here,you can visit their museum for free and they open until 6.00pm only.Too bad, when we went yesterday, it's closed.

They served Tomatoes bread as starter.

I ordered set of burger with homemade of beef patty and the taste really good and the portion too big for me.

My friends ordered another set,i can't remembered what the name.

The  interiors really amazing and what else..click click click!

 

 

3 of us in front of the restaurant.

 

 

Oh yeah, after dinner we went to China House to have drink and watch the live band,too bad the places was too crowded, very hot air and we end up relaxing at the art room before heading to Twelve Cup.

 

 

 

Footnotes;

"Good bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory and there you will always be."               

Thing has changed,sooner or later.

Finally my wish to changing job becomes reality. I had been stayed in Penang for almost 9 years, Penang is like my first home to me and now I’m going to say “bon voyage”. No place can compare with Penang; I love this place so much, love spending my weekend with hiking to the beach, walking at heritage town area and the foods!­

So, I still have 3 weeks before leaving Penang for good. I’m busy packing my stuff and trying to sell some of my furniture as for today I managed to sell my fridge with good price. Well, at least can cover my transportation expenses.

Ok, put aside first for my story “changing new leaf”.

Yesterday evening I went to Big Bad Wolf at Penang Time Square and managed to grab two books only. We came quite late and to explore that place, I believe you need to spend for one day at least. I felt like kids in candy shop, books are everywhere and it was so tempting!

This year plan is Bangkok and Tokyo-Korea on November. So ,this one will be next! In sya Allah..:)

Another book for my soul and preparation as Muslim, I bought this book from my mother as she selling some religion books at her shop.

 

Since, I had been away for quite long from blogging; so tonight I will share some of event happened for past months.

 

 

My two dear friends just got married! I'm so happy for both of them. I'm wishing them for forever love and all the best for new life as husband and wife.
