Stay Strong

Good morning everyone. How are you today? As promised yesterday, I am going to post some update on what has been going on with my life recently. I was having my tuition class yesterday at 7pm - 9 pm which means that I am working from 8 am - 5 pm and continue from 7pm - 9pm. Honestly I was kind of exhausted and I would say that it is not due to the workloads but it is more like being burn out with the long journey of walking to and fro my workplace, Each time that I see the bikers with their motorbike and the riders with their bicycle, I will have this feeling inside of me that keeps on saying "How nice would it be if I have a motorbike, and I would be grateful enough if I can afford a bicycle. Seriously, my expenses for the public transportation is more as compared to if I own a motorbike and spend on the fuel. However, on the other side I did not own any driving license and it means that I can only ride a bicycle but still, I do not have the money to get one for me. Now, talking about money, I was called by the workplace where I worked before, Up till today, I have not get the money for my salary and honestly it is kind of making me devastated especially in this situation where I really need to own a transport to ease me with my work. Disappointed. So, right after I end this post I will be leaving and try to settle everything by today. Tiring but I have to. If only they understand what I need to go through just to claim my right. Well, enough about that I guess. Need to talk about something else.

Last weekend, I was supposed to have my home tuition class in IP but it was cancelled. So, I was planning to do my laundry and settle some work. However, a former colleague invited us for some outing at the restaurant near Alamesra. So we did. While waiting for the next  meeting with that former colleague, my housemate and I went to F.O.S to have a look if they offer any good deal. I found mine! I bought a slim fit pants (though I am fat) and with the colour that I like but not confident to wear, I bought them for only RM15!!! Cheap right? I know. I am a cheapskate! Tell me about it. If you are in my shoes then you will understand. :)

I do love the shirt because of the fabric and the colour and of course because of the price. It is RM15 ONLY!!! Unfortunately, since I could not get my size and I do not want to spend much I just bought the pants, And that picture on the right was taken in the elevator at UTC where I was supposed to have my private tutoring with one student but it was cancelled.

And the picture above was taken by my housemate at Gaya Street Old Town Cafe. To be honest, I am not a fancy type of person. But hey, I need to suits myself with others sometime. So, once in a blue moon should be okay. But to have it too often, I do not think that I can afford it. 

And this is my housemate. He is in the process of trying to apply for any scholarship to further his masters abroad. He has got three offers from Sheffield, Bristol and Kings College, and he is applying other universities in case, Let us all pray for him so everything is going to be allright and may he get the scholarship without any/much trouble. Okay? Thanks for the prayers. :)

I think that should be it for now. Need to settle some stuff and get back to work. Love you all. Stay healthy, stay lovely, stay strong.

With Love,

Adam Geordrey.

God bless.

Random Post

As what the topic mentioned above, this is going to be a random post. I would love to update more on everything but my friend has just called me and offering me a ride home. Unfortunately, I cannot go with her since I will be having my tuition class tonight. However, she suggested that we may also go and spend some time chit chatting at the so called usual place. Therefore, I really need to go and this is just some random thing for me to post. Will update more thing soon. 

Anyway, I am not so sure if people do drop by and read what I wrote. If you happens to read this statement, it means that you are one of the reader of my blog. Thanks for dropping by and I would really appreciate it if you leave me some comment or just hit the "FOLLOW" button.

Okay. That is all for now. Till then. God bless.

Working 7 days per week

Hello people! How are you? okay. This is going to be short and fast post. I was planning my weekend as usual, laundry and all that. Unfortunately, I was not able to do as I plan since emergency friend-colleague-call for spending time together came up at the very last minute. So, I need to reconstruct my plan. Its Sunday tomorrow and I will be having my tuition class tomorrow afternoon. I hope everything is going to be allright. ok then. Good night. Gotta go.

Hope and Faith

Took this picture during my final year in Uni. Was a part of Student's Society for the faculty. Miss those moments.

Hello everyone. Good day. How is everyone? I hope the third day of the weekdays is not a torture with loads of works and pressure. Let it be an awesome day okay?

In my case, I am back to "work" today and trying to get another task done under this "work". Its my third week if I count it right and I am still learning and trying to keep myself stable with everything especially when it comes to time management and money concern.

I have a great news to be shared today! Well, after the long wait, I was finally called for an interview to be assigned as an educator, or to be precised, as a teacher. We have wait long enough and I am really grateful that I was given the opportunity to attend the interview which was held yesterday at 9.30 am at wisma BSN, Kota Kinabalu. I know that I should be really grateful the fact that there are some pre-service teachers and some courses are not yet getting any call. Guys... Just wait patiently and do search for backup plans and any job to do while waiting. Teslian did that too, we look for job while waiting because it is good to have a backup plan as well as to earn more experience in any field. 

We/I can only hope for now because I have done my part the best that I could and I must have faith in it that if its meant to be then it will be. For the time being, I will keep on doing what I am doing and trying to stay strong for whatever circumstances that may happen in the wait of something great. They might say that I am crazy but I just want to challenge myself and try to remind myself of how grateful I am that I am granted and occupied with things that I need though it might feel how incomplete my life is.

Here's a rough weekly schedule for now (This is my second week to live this schedule):

Monday - Friday 8.00 am - 5.00 pm (office job)

Wednesday 7.00 pm - 9.00 pm (Handle a class at a Tuition Centre)

Friday 7.00 pm - 9.00 pm (Handle a class at a Tuition Centre)

Saturday 8.00 am - 10.00 am (Conduct a home tuition at a customer's house)

Sunday 1.00 pm - 4.00 pm (Conduct a private tutoring at UTC Library)

Looking at these lists, people might think that I earn a lot. Well, to be honest I earn just a little but I am learning to tell myself to be grateful of the "rezeki" given to me. I need the money, I do, but above all I am looking forward to earn more experience and to help in a way that I can.
Some might also wants to say that its easy but hey, just to let you know, I do  not own any transport and I travel by public transport (Bus) and though I go by bus, I still need to walk up the hills and walk pass the village each day to do these jobs and generally speaking, each day I need to go on and off at least 3 different buses to go to my destination which means 3 bus from home to workplace and another 3 bus from workplace to go home. That makes 6 buses per day. :)

I just want to share these experience and story of my life to let you know that, we might think that we have gone worst case but we never know what others have gone through, so be grateful and if you ever feels like giving up please believe that there is hope and have faith in whatever that you do.

If you are amazed by what I am trying to do now, trust me I myself would not believe why and how I do it. And I myself are not so sure how long can I live this schedule of my current life's activity. However, if you are not impressed and think that it is just nothing, then it is okay. I do respect your view, this is just for general sharing.

That should be it for now. I will share some photos during the interview in my next post. So, stay with me and I will share them soon.

That is all for now. Live that Hope and have Faith.

With Love,

Adam Geordrey

Difficult times teach us to appreciate the good time

Hello and good morning everyone! Happy Monday! We are now in March and looking at the calendar seriously remind me on how fast time flies.  It feels like I just have m graduation day few weeks back and now its already another year and it is on its third month of the year 2015. All that I can say is I am happy and being so grateful that God has grant me another day today and hopefully another year and another year and another year for me to go for all the dreams that I have made and of course to be a better human.

If you ask me, yes I am still doing my 'job' here in PPIB, UMS as a Research Assistant under Prof Vincent. Well, to be honest I am still not confident to call myself as RA what more as Prof Vincent's RA. He is just too great to have a very tiny small little mind and person like me to be his RA. Well, that actually explains why I always said it as a 'job' instead of a job. I am still trying to hold on and see how thing goes the fact that I have applied a variety of jobs and position in almost everywhere in any way that I could but unfortunately, I just do not have the luck yet. Well, someone or perhaps a lot of people might be disagree with me when I put 'luck' into the situation. However my dear friends and readers, when I say 'luck' it does not means that I just depend on it alone without doing anything to make it work. Its easy, everyone wants to be a winner, everyone wants to have what they wish and want, and everyone will do whatever it takes to reach that goal. However, it will still depend on luck because, only the lucky one will get what they want after all the hard work that they have done. If you still does not buy my words, take this for a very simple good example. Let say, in a cooking competition, everyone were asked to boil and egg with the best 'half-boiled egg' result and everyone were given an egg with the same type, grade, size, and quality and everyone were asked to do everything at the same time, same temperature same measurement. So, in your opinion, will everyone get the same result of a good 'half-boiled egg'? I know the answer. You know the answer. The esiest way to answer this is by saying a yes or a no, but still the safest and most brilliant way to answer this is, 'it depends', now that phrase ladies and gentleman, means 'see who got the luck'! 

Anyway, I am not trying to prove anything but its just my way in looking at it. If you buy it then get it for free, if you does not buy it, that is okay, we are all good. :)

Now, back to the topic above. Honestly, I am trying and learning to appreciate whatever I have and whoever I am with. I have been saying this "life is too short" but I never believe it 100%. However, as time goes by, I started to see the fast ticking clock on my wall of life showing that I have so many things to be done and yet too little time given that it might be impossible to accomplish everything but its worth trying. I keep that in mind and now, with my current situation of being unemployed (no stable job), I learn a lot about being grateful and life is not easy, so please do not make it even harder! hahaha... Just for my own record, each day to go to my 'workplace' I need to go on and off buses at least 3 times and still, I need to walk for hundreds steps in between. I spent approximately RM10 per day for my bus fare and if I did not bring my lunch box of course it will cost me more. Honestly speaking, my legs are shaking each day thinking that how long will I stay and do this thing each day. I do not know for sure but I am willing to try and keep on trying. I do believe that all of the hardship that I am facing at the moment is a temptation towards a better tomorrow. I keep this in my, "difficult times teach us to appreciate the good time' and so I am willing to do this because I know there are people who might be facing an even worst situation, so I should be grateful. Be grateful for everything.

Okay pals. Need to get back to work. A lot to do. With this post, I am sharing you my photo taken this morning. Too shy to show the ugly truth so I edited them.. Haha..

Self Personal Record - First card for this 'job'

The ugly truth - Nerd return.

Okay they, till next posts, Love you guys and God Bless.

About Being Positive

Good morning dear people all over the world! I am trying to stay positive with everything that is going on with and in my life daily. Some people might take it as being free and enjoy the moment of doing nothing and some might also take it as the most difficult moment of trying to get themselves hired so they can earn some money for their living. Those who are in the same shoes with me will understand what I am trying to say. :) (Being a fresh graduate and stuck in between a future prospectus which is uncertain until the announcement is made). If you ask me on which one am I? I would say I felt both.

I am trying to do a 'job' now after being a super extreme job hunter for the past few month and trying to claim my right on the job that I have done but still waiting and hoping it will be okay. This job is actually something that comes to me with a recommendation from a best friend of mine where I am hesitate at first but my innocent instinct told me a good thing that I should go and give it a try because I would not know how it really feel to be in that position unless I do it for real, at least as an attempt. I am going to have a complete one week 'self-trial' for this 'job' in few days and I do admit that I felt a little weak and shaky inside but still, I need to stay positive and learn from it. I hope it will last and not fade away easily.

I am not so sure when and how it will be but one thing for sure, I cannot wait to hear the announcement to be called for the interview by SPP because I know there is no point in spending four years in Uni and ended up being unemployed. I am tired of waiting but I will keep on waiting patiently and try to enjoy this 'free moment' because I know I might demand for a real break once I am working for real. Well, I am only human.

So, that is it for now. Will be updating more stuff soon. And along with this post let me serve you with delicious cake photo that I took last weekend. Thanks to Bugs Bunny for the treat.

A slice... before digging in.

Its tasty! Thanks Bunny!

With Love,

Adam Geordrey

God Bless us all.

Stay positive.

First post for the year 2015

Hello everyone! Whatsup? I cannot believe my eyes when I scroll down my blog. This is seriously my first post for this year and yet it is already in mid February.
Anyway, I would still want to wish everyone a very happy and blessed new year of 2015. Lets drive this year in the best way that we can. I am still unemployed or maybe freelancer will sounds better. Life ain't easy, that is what I keep on telling myself as well as people around me. However, I am not going to just let it be and makes myself down. I will keep on trying, do more job hunting and of course just stay as job hunter and freelancer until I get to the point where I wanted to be put in. I do admit and I know that all of this while and even now, maybe, and yes I am surrounded by my own negativity and it is really not good. Not to me and of course not to anyone. So, I will try my very best to keep my head up and keep on trying and trying and trying. I am certain that there will be tears and thunder along the way but that is life. It would not be a great journey if its always butterfly and marshmallow, right?

Anyway, got to go now. By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of my Chinese friends and everyone who celebrate Chinese New Year, a very happy and blessed Chinese new year. Gong Xi Fatt Cai..

With Love,

Adam Geordrey.
