Shima's Blog

Right now, I'm in the office. Feeling like blogging. Besides, today is Friday; so not much to do. The boss hasn't come in yet, so I'm flipping through magazines to kill time for a while

Currently, I'm working in Malacca and I like it here. Everyone is so laid back, no traffic jam which means driving is a breeze and the food here is awesome and everything here is super cheap! I'm working in Banda Hilir, the town side of Malacca and tourists flock here everyday for sightseeing, eateries and shopping. For me, it's just a walking distance from my workplace.

My working hours here is very flexible. Either from 10am-5pm or 12pm-7pm. Depending on whether I have classes / board of directors meeting that day or not. Other than that I'll just do some paperwork and when I'm bored I'll head off to Dataran Pahlawan Mall or Mahkota Parade to jalan2, hehe. On Saturday is even more cool - I'll work from 10am-1pm and then it's my weekend getaway :)

Everyone seems to be excited whenever they visit me here. I'll be super excited too coz I get to share my new place with them. The rides here are cool, water place for kids is only RM3 for the whole day and you can shop till you drop. If you're bored of shopping malls just head over for a snapshot or two at the nearest tourists attractions and at night, enjoy the famous ikan bakar place nearby or stroll along the Malacca Canal for a romantic evening.

I rented out a room in Taman Seri Duyong with another housemate. The house is spacious and clean. I've decided not to take the house which the company wanted to give me coz my boss wanted to live there to. I felt uncomfortable at the thought of that so I lived elsewhere. My housemate, Izaty was great, we clicked immediately but we didn't meet and talk that much due to her working in shifts. But I try to have an outing with her once in a while. Recently she moved to KL so it's just me alone in the house. Already rented a new house nearby. Guess how much the rent for a house in Malacca that I got? RM 250. And the company's paying. Cool huh? XD

My boss is a saint. Super nice person you'll ever meet. If my family came down for a visit, he'll insist of taking them out to dinner. He'll buy me snacks during work and he's very concerned about my well-being. If I have somewhere to go on that day, he'll insist me on leaving as early as noon and not count it as an off-day. He'll also remind me of my prayer time although he's a non-muslim himself. The directors are great too. They're the ones who drove me around town if I wanted to get something done.

Honestly, I'm not bragging; I'm just happy. I guess I have found what I was looking for. Btw, the PTD exam is tomorrow. A 2 days 1 night thingy. This is another career advancement for me. I hope everything turns out well for me with this one too.
