wiyang said my blog doesn't look nice...at least he said i should change the colors. well, i'm not in the mood to sit down and work on the layout of my blog, so i'll just procrastinate again. hehe...oh yeah, bon voyage wiyang! have a nice flight back. too bad we didn't spend much time hanging out together. no choice lar. you came back at the time when i'm having my finals. and most of our classmates were not in melaka anyway. see u online!

i've went back to work for the camera shop in mahkota parade (pakard photo) on friday and thursday. the boss doesn't have enough manpower so he summoned me to work for him. he actually asked me on tuesday morning, but i already promised wiyang and joon liang to watch pirates of the carribean that day. back to my work. since i don't know how to sell digicams (i wasn't trained to like the other part timers) my job was to help out wherever i can. but then i got a little bit bored and ask one of the permanent workers to teach me how to use the photo printing machine. and once i got hold of it, i can't stop printing! i like to see other people's photo, especially those from other countries. you can actually see the difference between pictures taken by a malaysian and a foreigner. i don't know how to describe it, but somehow the pictures taken by those foreigners are more natural and they really how to choose a nice angle to take a picture. there's this lady (my guess is she's either from US of A or Australia) who wanted to print photos taken from her vacation at bali and boy, were the pictures nice! she even have underwater shots of marine life! she told us that some of the underwater shots were taken by her. in contrast, malaysian people like to take pictures of people posing. sometimes, i'm guilty of that too!

i've printed some photos for myself discreetly too, since i realised that the annoying boss is having a vacation at langkawi! no wonder everyone in the shop is so happy and relaxed. too bad the printing machine was a bit spoiled. some of the photos came out pink when it should be white. oh well, it's free so i can't complaint much. *grins* i managed to sneak out some unwanted photos (mistakenly printed) as well. those are pictures of a ...err...beautiful girl! hehe...

oh well, i kinda look forward to work there again. maybe this coming monday. it depends. i enjoyed working there with those people. they are funny and nice people. they don't scold me for making a mistake since they know i'm new. but some customers did say nasty things to me. typical malaysians. i'm really impressed with some australians who are very polite. there's once when every worker in the shop was busy and couldn't attend to a few aussies customers. when we apologised to them, they simply smiled back and said "don't worry, i know you're busy. take your time". malaysians have a lot to learn from them.

my final results are coming out soon, and i think i have to prepare for my supplementary paper soon because i have a strong feeling that i will fail my digital systems.*sigh*
