1st Try

just giving this blog thing a try..
To start with, I'm just back tracking my visits as it lingers in my mind. Maybe boring to read but I created this blog so that I can read it when I'm old and memories get blurer n blurer..

What I miss about my 1st Job

All the times that I missed, the goodness and kindness that I gained from my 1st Job. Ranking the good to the best.

10. Cheap key duplication and learning to open lock doors (unsuccessful practical attempts but at least have the theory of it in my head)
9. Post office on Ground Floor
8. Near my home and start work 9am.
7. Training at KL but I did not make it there. But just dreaming of it also makes it good.
6. No Politics(you know the meaning) as the workplace has not more than 20 workers.
5. Surrounded by Jehovah witnesses colleague. Good natured, friendly and kind as Christians.
4. Free badminton weekly, paid by boss.
3. Manager looking after your back all the time, slowly passing all his skills of survival from experience)
2. A kind boss with very good talking style (Smiling while talking with very deep meanings inside all his conversation. Usually encouragement to do better in everything especially improving my selling skills)
1. The most missed reason: Free homecook lunch by lau pan niang (I think or maybe maid) on mon,wed and fri.

My First Job

At last.... After years of education to get a degree ,an extra 5months searching aimlessly in KK and a few interviews, I finally found a job.. Yeah!!

My 1st job title: Product Engineer. What is that, everyone keeps asking me. Well, it's all about switches and smart home system. All I have to do is market the product which I absolutely have no idea and despise of and doing some programming.

Conclusion: Sleepless night is what you get when you can't sell well enough. Worrying every single day about ways to market and sell the product. Very stressful. Last a month and a half in this job. Left the company cause I desperately needed to leave this kind of life and I found another job. I became happy, restless and carefree on the last day of the job. All my worries gone with the wind.

Recommendation to myself: I don't do well as a sales person even though I am friendly person. Will stay away from any job that requires doing sales.

York

At the middle of the summer course, we were treated to a visit to York by LJMU. York, located in the middle of England, is a tourist attraction city. The town is surrounded by a wall and a few gates for entry purposes.

One of the gates to enter the town. The old map of the town.
Spotted this tower and decided to take a closer look.

What was a fortress, is now left a tower standing tall alone.
The view from the tower. Paid a small fee to enter the tower. (Declan and me rode on the ferris wheel..quite embarrassing haha)

We were fortunate enough to find a once in a lifetime chance to drive a boat. 1 hour boat ride, of course with a small fee to pay shared by the 3 of us. We were given a short lecture on how to drive a boat. But I only remember 1 rule and that is to always keep to the right hand side of the river. It's an international rule if I'm not mistaken. We took a lot of pictures along the way but I'm just sharing some. There's Victor, me and Declan.



After the boat ride, we continue our exploration around town. We managed to get a photo with this guy guarding the entrance to a Dungeon ride.
Before getting on the bus back to Liverpool, we walk the wall surrounding the town. 20minutes walk and we have to back track back to where we came as it seem to be a long way ahead and time is running out.

Blackpool Model Village

Located in the outskirt of the town. We got lost finding this place but after asking around the folks, we finally reach this place. My first thought was what a small shop. Is there anything interesting to look at. Well just look at the photos to see for yourself.

I'm stuck on the windmill. HELP!!!

Have to bend over to fit the background

Someone's getting married

Fun fair going on while someone's doing prison break

Gypsy camp and a cricket game. There's a Mr. Bean with a funny cap

UFO visit

Loius Tussaud, Blackpool

Louis Tussaud is a waxwork museum and a subsidiary of the famous Madame Tussaud if I'm not mistaken. Eventhough is quite small but it's quite worth the money to make visit here in Blackpool.

There's quite a few famous celebrity made of wax here.
Keanu Reeves, Star Wars characters, Arnold S., Marilyn Monroe, Sir Elton John, Angelina Jolie, James Bond, the late Mother Teressa and Princess Diana and many others

Me and Sir Elton John

After an hour or so of seeing all the wax works and taking photos with them, it's time for the scary part of the wax works.
Still remember Freddie from Elm street

Frankenstein
A scene from the movie exorcist (The body starts to lose control when ever anyone comes near it, forgot to take a video of it, such a waste)
This guy is actually real, u can see his skin underneath the mask. After Declan took this pic, the guy moved and tried to scare us. Luckily he suceeded with the help of two screaming ladys behind us.
