有人錫邊個仲會假裝堅強來保護自己？

唔好意思上一篇話過呢篇要用意大利文打，但係我都係用廣東話。五月畢業，月尾返到嚟馬來西亞，之後就日日坐係屋企除咗搵工之外就無野做，所以我就開始唸人生同命運。我地o既一生其實係一早就安排好o架，所有野都係冥冥中自有主宰。我地只有跟住上天安排o既路行。其實唔好一直唸點解你無得撿，上天安排卑你o既野都係佢認爲係對你最好o架。就好似，如果你係搵緊工，去咗A面試無通過，其實你唔需要覺得好灰心、傷心，因爲上天覺得果間公司唔o岩你。之後你去第二間公司面試通過，係度做野，覺得係呢間公司做野好開心，份工好o岩你。如果當初你係公司Ao既面試通過，係度做，你就無可能係依家呢間公司做了。命運其實就係o甘簡單，一點都唔複雜。所以話，我地做人得失心唔可以太重，係你o既就是你o既，唔是你的得到都無好結果。我一直以來都好感謝上天對我o既安排，包括出生o既家庭、去美國讀書、病、話者係工作。因爲我排第二，所以一出世我就比人地獨立，唔中意靠人同求人。之後上天卑我出國讀書，卑我見識世上其他地方，所以我要去流浪o既思想就更加堅定。因爲病咗，我領悟到好多道理，包括人生無常，所以我就寧願放棄比較賺錢o既但係自己唔中意o既major, 去做返一點自己中意做o既野。
個天其實對每個人都好公平。當佢卑苦你受，其實係要袋錢入你袋，卑你學習，等你以後可以更加堅強面對人生。當佢卑你大富大貴，話者係舒舒服服，其實果點都係你前世造o既福，但係呢點福係要去保持o架，如果唔係舒服日子o既quota就會用曬。要點保持咧？其實就是多點幫下人，多點造福社會。當你事事不順o既時候，千企晤好怪個天，反而要多謝個天卑機會你贖返前世o既罪，下一世好好o甘做人。
好啦唔寫啦，我要瞓啦。遲點再寫啦，下次我會用番意大利文了。

some updates
Sorry for the saddening blog posts recently. Wasn't feeling so well. Sometimes I just couldn't find someone to listen to me.
2++ months from graduation, started to look for job in the beginning of June, attended 3 interviews, and now I finally got a job - supply chain analyst at a MNC in Penang. I initially planned to work in KL, but logistics and supply chain jobs aren't offered in the center of KL which can be reached by LRT or other public transports. Companies that offered me interview opportunities are located in areas like Subang Jaya, Damansara, Bukit Jalil etc. Some can be reached by buses (with a few transfers) while some cannot be reached by any kind of transportation at all. I'll have to get a car loan and buy a car if I want to work there. Plus the rent and high living cost, I don't think I can afford all these, since the basic salary for fresh graduates majoring in business is so damn low (probably higher in KL, but that won't make much difference after minusing the loan and rent). My econ major friends got high-paid consulting jobs in areas like Bukit Bintang. I'm jelly, but I don't think I would get a consulting job too, because I want to make use of what I've learned.
Job starts in 1 week time. No more rotting, eating and sleeping at home everyday. I need to start adjusting my lifestyle from now on. Oh ya, and improving my driving skill too. My driving skill is still bad, and I still always got honked -.- I know I don't have talent in driving.
Going to Taiwan next year! Kinda excited about this trip. Many of my friends have already been there and I heard it was nice. They shopped a lot over there too. I will only bring a carry-on baggage, so I have to make sure myself not shop too much. Nevermind I will survive 11 days in Taiwan with just a carry-on baggage.
Ok time to rot :p Ciao. Scrivo il prossimo post in italiano.

il cielo e' casa mia
non so a chi posso esprimere i miei sentimenti
era tanto rovesciata oggi
ho litigato con i miei genitori
loro non mi mai capiscono
pensano sempre che io sia ribelle e cattiva
come io sia la persona piu' sbagliata al mondo
e' basta
ho gia' vissuto la vita come questa per quasi 23 anni
un giorno
io lascero' questa casa, questa familia
so che questa e' un'azione disobbediente
ma mi dispiace
devo fare cosi'
io sono nata per essere un'anima libera
non so dove andro'
non ho una destinazione
io appartengo al cielo
il cielo e' casa mia

McD Malaysia delivery sucks
I ordered a fillet-o-fish combo and a mcflurry at around 1:15pm today, and received my confirmation email (as shown in the picture above). I waited for an hour but the delivery man didn't come. So I called their hotline and told the operator my concern. The operator said he will check with his team members . He also asked for my phone number so that he could call me back later, but till now I haven't received his call. It's almost 12am by the way. And of course I didn't get my meal too. I actually did track the status on McD website, but it says my order wasn't received. Ok I don't know if it's the system problem, people problem or corporation problem. McDonalds seriously needs to improve their service, or I will turn to Pizza Hut and KFC.

I would rank NYC as the second best place to shop in the United States (the first one would definitely be Las Vegas!). You can find all you want here, no kidding. Oh ya NYC also has the best and largest Disney store in the states IMO. It was also the first Disney store I went (on my birthday!). I felt like "my dream came true" the moment I stepped into the store, and I spent like a few hours just in that store lol! There are also lots of souvenir shops in NYC (basically every shop sells the same stuffs). I used to buy souvenirs for friends, family and myself when I went traveling. In seattle, I bought some decor made by Mt. Helen ashes. When I went to Europe, I got myself a Venice handmade masque, Burano lace, a hoodie etc, and got some Slovakian handmade stuffs, shot glasses, magnets for friends and family, but I never buy souvenirs anymore after that trip. Now I'm totally immune to souvenirs. I'm even sick of seeing souvenirs sometimes, after realizing every place sells the same things. T-shirts, hoodies, cups, magnets, keychains, caps etc. Can't you guys just come up with new things to sell?!
Other than universities, another place that I will visit wherever I go is Chinatown. I'm just too obsessed with the history of Chinese immigrants and how they settle up their homes in foreign land. Maybe it's because I'm a Taishanese. Most of the earliest Chinese immigrants came from Taishan. They settled at chinatowns, and since then Taishanese became a dominant Chinese language in North America chinatowns (it was kind of like lingua franca). Nowadays you can still hear people speaking Taishanese when you walk around chinatowns, especially the older generations. During my 2++ years in the US, I had been to the chinatowns in Seattle, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland. My favorite one would be San Francisco, for sure. It's the oldest and one of the largest chinatowns in North America, and I could feel the history walking in the chinatown. My second favorite is the one in NYC. It's large too, and has the most yummy dimsum IMO. Dimsum's my must-eat in every chinatown, and it's like a measurement for me to rate how good a Chinatown is lol. And I will sure have a cup of bubble tea after lunch in chinatown. One interesting thing you can see in the chinatowns is that they have all the shop names in chinese, even american banks. Chase bank becomes 大通銀行 cool right. NYC also has the best little italy IMO. It's just more happening than other little italy's that I've been to.
If you're a finance/ economy major, you might want to make a visit to the world's famous Wall Street. It has all the headquarters of financial institutions, New York Stock Exchange and other nerdy buildings. I didn't spend much time there, although I was a finance major (Wall Street has become not-so-attractive to me after I decided to change my major lol). The 911 memorial is just one stop away if you want to pay a visit. It requires ticket which you can get online (www.911memorial.org) for free. I didn't get in successfully 'cause I didn't do enough research beforehand and didn't know that I need a ticket to get in. But someone who was queueing up told me that I can actually get a ticket somewhere nearby, he showed me the direction but I couldn't find it and in the end I just gave up.
The next morning I took a 60-minute Downtown Cruise by New York City Sightseeing. You'll see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, Governors Island etc along the route. Note: You can't get off the cruise until it goes back to the pier, and you will see the attractions from a distance. The package was the cheapest among 3 packages they have. The other two are both 90-minutes cruise: Midtown Cruise (including what Downtown Cruise has, plus Empire State Building, United Nations, Museum of Jewish Heritage and Chrysler Building) and Twilight Cruise (same as Midtown Cruise, but it operates at 6pm daily while Midtown Cruise operates in daytime). The original price for Downtown Cruise is $19, but I got $10 off with a coupon I got at my hostel. You can buy the ticket online, or at the company's office. Keep in mind that different cruises depart from different piers. The one I took departs from Pier 5 near South Street. There will be a guide on the cruise explaining the history of NYC and attractions, the it does stop for a while for the tourists to take pictures of the attractions. It was winter when I visited NYC so I almost froze to death on the cruise, although I had 2 layers of hoods on. I didn't really like the cruise (not because of the weather), but it's not a bad thing to do if you want to kill some time or if you're lazy to walk and just wanna sit down and chill. By the way, I didn't go to the island where Statue of Liberty is located and climb inside the statue up to the crown, as the statue was under renovation. There are ferries for tourists to get to the island, and tourists have to go through security check before boarding.
After getting off the cruise I went to a Shake Shack near the pier for lunch. Friends recommended me to try it and they said it was soooooooo good. It's actually a fast food restaurant that sells burgers, fries (in 2 words: fast food lol). The restaurant was crowded and I ordered a beef burger thingy. I'm not a beef lover, so it was so-so to me.
Empire State Building is another landmark and popular tourist spot in the New York City, but I didn't get up to the 86th floor observatory/ 102nd floor top deck. I know the scene could be breathtakingly beautiful, but I'm traveling on a budget and the ticket could be expensive to me. The cheapest ticket for adult costs $25 (=2 meals) lol. That's why I don't usually pay to get up a tower to watch city scene, I only paid once for getting up the Willis Tower.
Did I mention my window-shopping experience along the fifth avenue yet? Fifth Avenue is actually a super damn long street with thousands of shops. It was December and almost Christmas when I was there, so the shops all have super nice decors, especially at night. Some have a giant L.E.D. bow hanging in front of the shop, some have giant stars on the windows... and the Swarovski store has a large star made by crystals. It was fun to just walk around and see the shop decors. I also walked to the Rockefeller Center at W. 49th St. and 5th Ave. There's a big ice rink which holds events sometimes (I'm not sure if it's open all year though).
