I started attending classes on making fake flowers using Japanese clay several weeks ago. The clay is not as sticky as I think. A lot of materials for the class are relatively expensive. A number of tools are needed just to make a type of flower. But, the product is really nice. After the clay is dry, it is not totally hard, which makes it unique.
After sending in my results and graduation letter to Dell, I received news from them a week later. My boarding date is August 7. I need to do an X-ray and body checkup at the company before getting the offer letter and signing the contract. The X-ray must be done in the company’s panel clinic in e-Gate. It is a new and expensive clinic - its waiting hall is like a hotel, with the nice sofa, plasma TV and Astro channels installed. The medical equipments there are advance. I was a bit surprised.
Since I will only start working next month, I bought some flight tickets for my trip to Sarawak. AirAsia is currently offering promotions for several flights. I will be staying in Pei Juan’s home during my 1 week visit there. Sarawak… here I come!

Summary of Events
June 21, Wednesday – I went for my first interview in Dell, for the Database Analyst position. They called me up early in the morning and scheduled the interview to be held in the afternoon. I was not feeling well on that day, having a sore throat, running nose and a slight fever. I was not prepared and did not hold much hope for that reason.
June 22, Thursday – I went to Informatics at around 12pm for my Microsoft 72-228 paper on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I did not pass on the first attempt. Luckily the second exam is free due to the promotion.
June 23, Friday – I received a call from Dell. I got the position! It was a surprise! I did not expect to hear such news from them so soon. Christine, Kim Sheng, Khim Foong, Wei Yau and I departed to Chia Chia’s birthday party in Alor Setar, Kedah at around 6pm. The party was not held at her house as expected, but in a restaurant called Swiss Garden. It was a buffet dinner with karaoke. She only invited several friends and relatives. The INTI gang were enjoying themselves with the karaoke. We reached Penang at around 1+pm.
June 28, Wednesday – I went for my second exam on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I passed this time!
June 30, Friday – Hui Shan arrived in Penang in the morning. She will be working in Penang starting next month. She stayed in my place for 2 days before Ah Khai arrive. Jin and Thai Sin came to Penang on the same day. Jin was here for his Microsoft SQL Server 2000 exam. Thai Sin and he departed back on the same day.
July 1, Saturday – Hui Shan and I went to MATTA Fair, a traveling fair held in PISA. There was a huge crowd and there are many booths. Some of the offers are really cheap. I wish that I have more holidays now. Looks like I can just write down several destinations of my interest and aim for those packages next year.
