Doughnut

Hello guys!

How have you all been? Its a great pleasure to be here writing another post of karl's life adventures. Today's title is doughnut,inspired by my baby sister lenny. Let's add that honey glaze toppings shall we.

Its has been a great week so far since school ended two weeks ago. Many things happened and always there's a particular reason behind it. Alright I've been working since the last few weeks. I met quite a lot of people during work and everyone there's a story that comes along with it

There's a lot of people but I want to bring attention to one particular girl. Meet Jessica. She's two months younger than me and we share quite a few interest. We met on that Friday during the Friday rush hour, I remembered there's a lot of people since we are working in the public area. That day really happening! Two guys and girls won a total of 150 in total! Thats a massive amount of.prizes in a day and its at public! It was really tiring day but at least I get to spend the day with Jessica. Nothing much I can tell you about her. Haha its a secret.

Fastforward the next day I work with Brenda and sarah. Well nothing much to say about them really. I only talked to sarah most of the time as I've known and work with her before. As usual she will be talking about branded stuff these and that. She was talking about decorating her room and ask.me.for.some ideas and about the perfumes and cosmetics too. Well yeap that's about it. She was missing in action most of the times and clock out when I was busy didn't really get to say bye to her. The day continued with Brenda and another kpop girl fan. As usual even her iphone sticker is a hallyu idol. Nothing can describe that. Then lulu was the 530 shift girl and we basically just have fun and laughter all the way till shift ends.

On Tuesday I worked with Sophia and basically where everything begins. What I meant was that was the day when the wifi at airport goes up and down the whole day. What were you guys thinking.otherwise? Its kinda of annoying but we managed to finished everything before the shift ends. Ot was in terminal 3 and I'm quite excited as usual. I learn those lines that Rose translated for me and I did quite well. I was speaking Japanese more than Korean though but it was fun! First break we had lunch at kopitiam and seriously its cost quite a bit. Its like a.daylight robbery.Okay then second break I just when to perform my prayers and catch up with Sophia at subway. We were.siting at the side in those large chairs. Its quite.comfortable there. There's this ang moh guy signalled to me to take care of his stuff. I remembered him going towards the toilet with a cup of fresh orange juice. We were searching high and low for him then when he came back he thanked me and say "you're the best!" That really made my day so.its like "you're the best karl!".

Okay dokie here's to Wednesday. I was late for my early meeting with Jessica. I felt so bad to make a girl wait for me.Its like a debt the feeling. Well I should make up for it for.the rest of the story. Today I work with Jessica and Nazurah. It was kinda of weird to see Nazurah for the morning shift because she only did the night shift. Okay I was outside helping people most of times as I.promised Jessica that ill treat her good by asking her to stay inside the booth so she can sit down. Her previous day experience wasn't that bad at least Marie allowed her to sit inside for.3 hours that's considered nothing to standing 12 hours outside. It was kinda weird that I didn't talk to Nazurah so while she is surfing the internet I try to.find.topics I can talk to them.  That's it! Blogging. She told me about.blog and I tell my side.of the story too. What she is doing I have do it before and have vast experience about it.

I told her to get a domain name and hosting if she want to expand her business to a professional level. I shared my experience with Jessica and Nazurah. They were surprised that I know so much about blogging. These days there's not many guy blogger out there and I considered myself as.one. hmms I think I've gained two new readers to my blog. If you guys are reading this thank you so much and have a good time at yeunkarl.blogspot.sg! Thanks so much for the support guys. Alright I shall carry on. So once Nazurah left it was only Jessica and I. Well a lot of things happened and guessed we are quite close after that. Hmms we did so much things together. I don't know why am I being too good to her. She wonders too. I helped her carry her food, bought coffee and basically anything and everything. I shouldn't tell anything personal about her as I will keep it to myself. Thanks Jessica. So after the second break we got like more playful. She hit me quite a lot of times and I keep disturbing her. Well no.wonder the other girl is at the other side. She must be thinking there must be something going on with these two. Guess what since she felt.cold I disturbed her by turning the fan on and off and evrytime she will give me a soft whack on my chest. Haha seriously its not painful I admit. Well she drew on my hands and I did for hers too. Yeah she's all smile today and she told me I made her laugh everytime. Well even to those lame joke. What that's quite rare because I don't really treat a girl.like that unless I want her to feel special. Okay I took a.photo which is for our memories and I shall post them here and you see what she did to my hands. The day ended and I kind of like confessed to her. So then she's my newest sister! Well there's stuff in between that's why I don't want to mention here for.privacy purposes.

Next day day I went out with my bro Hadi to check out the latest samsung Galaxy note 3. He told me he wanted to change to note 3 so I kinda told him let's have a closer look and feel. To my surprise the device its actually quite nice then the one I saw online and it feels quite light. But the most disappointing part is the gear. It looks very metallic and it doesn't look great and bulky.on my hand. I will attached a few photos about it. So we walked around I bought my travel necessity for my upcoming trip. That's right its very near. I'm very excited and I'm sure Rose is excited as well.

I shall leave the cooling down of the glaze with cousin wedding. Yesterday marks the first male cousin ever gotten married from my mums side. He married a beautiful bride and I will post photos too about it. I met a lot of people and as usual mum will say this is my.last son. Everyone were like he's quite handsome and they wish to see the next in line to be married from.my family! Pressure! Pressure. What am I.supposed to do. Maybe I give myself 10 more years at least to grow my business, have a stable.job and ill marry at 30. That's not too far I guess and it can be faster well depends. Okay initially there's this girl from my mums cousin siblings daughter. She's quite a hottie and I remembered her coming to our house evry year for hari raya. This year I never get to see her but guess what when I saw them at the reception she just smiled at me. Her sister was writing at the memories book and I was like " ohh noo why is she smilling at me". I was quite confused so I return her the smile and she blush. Hmms that moment I remembered her instantly. Wow we just smile at each other but never talk. Considering me at work and real its quite.different. well that's the way how I work haha. What was she trying to tell me? I also.don't know. I wish I am brave enough to talk.to her actually I can but I don't want to do.it when there's a lot.of.people. situation can get awry I can say and people will start gossiping. I really hate that unwelcome gossips about me. Okay so I had a blast yesterday and I shall leave it here for today.

I'm leaving for Seoul soon and my date with Rose shall begin soon.I'm already prepared what to wear and what to do. I hope to see all.of.you soon. Take care and goodbye.

After School hours

What's up my dear readers. How have you all been. Let me guess, fine as usual, alright every time the same things. Before I begin my post for this week, I want to open this post with a nice picture.
 

This is a picture taken from Google. You guys already can guess why I post this picture. It's already the fall season in Southeast Asia, unfortunately only the Monsoon season for us living near equator. We have been experiencing a lot of rain lately and thankful it is not so hot as usual. So in today's post I will cover everything from, school, work, holidays, technologies,random etc.

School

Since the last post I mentioned that we met the client for the project review and 50% on overall we need to redo. Well I spent the last few weeks redoing every single animation while Aaron and Joel redo their part as well. We put our mind and hearts to it and a few sleepless night to complete the project on time. I can say this major project, I learnt quite a few things. There's personal reason so I should not touch on that. Like I said before redoing of stuff is not my type of thing but I have no choice since we are working with external companies and a client we need to deliver all the project scopes. It looks quite easy at first but as time passed massive amount of stress and challenges fall upon us. Luckily the leader managed to manage the group well and I Salute him to have such a good leadership skills. Alright, this is like typing for my final report which requires 1500 to 2000 words. Considering I'm quite used to writing long sentences and reports, I'm quite comfortable in completing the report way before the deadline. However some of the report stated is for hardware so there's multiple of question that are needed to be changed to software and suite our course of studies. 21 weeks over and it's quite an experience I can say. Shall end it hoping to get a good marks since I redo the animation an average of 4 to 6 times. Nothing to complain, all is for my own good and experience.

Work

So what should I say about work since nothing much in particular. My friend Hadi recently joined the job by my recommendation and he is working permanent part time. Here's the thing, for permanent part time, he need to complete 20 days in a month of 12 hours shift. It's crazy and hectic! Those who survived are up for any challenges in their life. So my shift has increased from once or twice a week to five days a weeks. It's been so long since I last work on a weekdays. The crowd, the people, the problems all different. Maybe I should tell you a few encounters during my duration of work. Some background information about the event. This event is called One millionaire at airport. Passengers need to spend a minimum of $30 to be entitled for a game card. There's four event area situated at different terminals. Alright so back then when I was working in T2, there's this Arab national. He spent quite a hefty sum on a watches and he won 20 prize. That is considered normal for T2 and big spenders. What's worse we need to do small data entry on the lucky draw tickets to input the prizes he choose. So 20 cards is considered a lot and my partner that time its quite new and she stress herself out. I told her I will do it while she attend to the other customers. So this Arab national insist he want to drop his lucky draw tickets himself and standing infront of me to add to my stress. But I take it he's invisible and try my best to complete as fast as I can. Thankfully at the end he said Syukran in Arabic it means thank you and tell me to have a nice day. From angry to delighted he appreciate my hard work. That is one experience I definitely will remember throughout my experience.

I need to think quite a few and it takes times to recall. So basically now I mostly doing permanent T1 shift with Hadi. One bad thing about T1 is that they have a lot of short range international flights. There's tons of China people and Indonesian people. There have been quite a lot of encounter that a pretty girl or lady will ask me for help instead of my partners. I'm not sure why also maybe because I look friendlier? I doubt so right haha. Yeap there's a lot from Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia passengers. What I like at T1 is that I can speak to them in Bahasa Indonesia that I'm quite familiar with. One look and they know I can speak Bahasa with them. I can't deny the fact, my great grandfather was a Indonesian Chinese convert and from there my family roots has a lot of inter racial marriage, so there's no surprise that my cousin, brother and I are more interested in the Chinese girls instead of the Malay one. Well what to do, its a heredity thing I guess. I still have 2 more weeks of work before I'll be flying off to overseas far away from the red dot.

Holidays

 Since school has ended for me it's time to for me to spend most of my time at the Airport working. It has been decided and I'll visit Seoul for the fourth time and second time for this year. Remember in February I went to Seoul with my first brother, this time I going with my sisters and neighbours. Well nothing much to look forward to, but yeah I going to meet Naeun Rose. For the first time I will meet her in Seoul and we already planned months before. Guess both of us are excited to meet each other? Alright its kinda of weird of how I met her, we don't even remember how we met, maybe fate bring us together. She always said that she is jealous that I know Seoul more than she know her hometown herself. Since she studied in the US on my first time to Seoul and that time third time she haven't go back to Seoul yet. But definitely we are going to meet this fall in Seoul. Looking forward to it Rose. I'll be flying with Vietnam Airlines this time and will have an hour of transit at Ho Chin Minh City. I'm very excited for this trip and there's a lot of things I wanted to do and see!

So for December holidays, I thought of visiting my baby sister in Kuching. I have done research quite a lot on Kuching but I guess it's just difficult to get around other than backpacking. Planning to go there alone for a 3D2N trip. Well I guess she must be smiling reading this post because she going to meet her brother from Singapore. After almost 2 years plus knowing him online it's actually the first time we are going to meet. I read her blog the day after we Skype that day, she said like my accent. Well, my Singapore accent I guess? I barely can hear her because she is using headphone and afraid to talk too loud in case her mum hears her. I liked her voice too very nice and I agree with her, we talk as though we are childhood friends. Another thing to look for this year and very excited to go on the trip alone.

Technologies

Few days back, Samsung and Apple announced their next weapon for the ultimate challenge for the best smartphones of 2013. Samsung unveiled the third generation of the Note series which is the Galaxy note 3 and their first ever Smart watch Galaxy gear. While Apple reveals their Iphone 5S and 5C. For me as an avid android user, I would say galaxy note 3 is a preferable choice for me. I love how big the screen goes, the weight is light and the design its quite slim and powerful at the same time. Whereas the Iphone 5S they came out with a finger print technology for everyone even for those who doesn't secure their phone with a password. To me since my fingerprint sometimes has problems I wouldn't see how difficult it is to use the Iphone if they can't detect my fingerprint. It's quite a hassle to me and 4 inch screen for me its too small. I will never go below 5 inch phone for my next phone.
