Employed!
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter of my life. The longest, most challenging, stressful, but yet most exciting part of life – work life. Got a job offer today and I start work next month! Woohoo!
Finally, I can slowly start to support myself and not rely on my parents financially. Thanks mum and dad! Now it’s my turn to support you!
I still have lots to learn though. Can’t imagine filling in income tax forms. I heard it’s a nightmare! =S
Fireworks in Leeds during the New Year
Scouserland
The end of June is approaching rapidly and the end of month spells the end og my housing contract with West One. Will be handing my keys in on Tuesday 12pm but I have a cunning plan under my sleeve. Due to me staying back for another month waiting for my graduation ceremony at the end of July, I’ll have to find a place to crash for that 1 month while waiting and doing absolutely nothing. Hence, I’ll be crashing back at my current room until the end of July when the friend, after next week my room shall be hers, will move in. So at least, no big hassle of moving all my stuff around everywhere like the past 3 years. It was absolute hell.
This is where I live but in a different block
Anyway, 70% of room cleaned and clutter almost entirely removed and thrown away. Now my drawers and wardrobe is almost empty and hollow. And next week, they shall be filled again with my stuff. A small hassle but better than moving to another place entirely.
On a lighter note, Mr Chew has gone to Scouserland i.e. Liverpool for those that don’t know.

Liverpool’s now a much better city compared to a few years ago. Come to think of it, Sheffield is currently like the old Liverpool – old abandoned industrial buildings, grey coal dust covered walls of buildings. But Sheffield is currently going a giant overhaul of the city and every year new buildings sprout out bringing the city into to 21st century though we’re almost a decade late!
Albert Dock was a superb place to photo taking. Especially the views of the river mouth entering the sea and wide panoramic views of Liverpool bay area and Birkenhead.

Lovely place.

Maxis to bring iPhone 3G to Malaysia on March 20
KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis announced on Wednesday that it will offer iPhone 3G 8GB for free on its iValue 4 plan from March 20.
Maxis will offer a range new tariff plans, starting at just RM100 per month, tailored specifically for iPhone customers.
Maxis chief executive officer Sandip Das said in a statement: “We are very pleased to launch iPhone 3G in Malaysia as many of our mobile users have been eagerly anticipating this revolutionary phone.
“They will really enjoy the many embedded and downloadable applications from the first time they use iPhone 3G.”
The iPhone 3G combines three products in one – a phone, widescreen iPod and an Internet device.
“With fast 3G networking, GPS mapping and support for enterprise features including Microsoft Exchange, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips.
“The ground-breaking App Store provides access to tens of thousands of applications from games to social networking to financial planning and health management, generating more than 500 million downloads to date,” Maxis said in the statement.
Maxis will offer the 8GB and 16GB iPhone 3G models with four specially designed postpaid plans called iValue, all of which are voice-data bundled price plans, starting from RM100 per month.
For customers who sign up for a monthly commitment of RM375 over a 24-month period on the iValue 4 plan, the iPhone 3G 8GB will be free of charge.
The bundled voice and data plans are the first of their kind in Malaysia.
“Malaysians, including our Maxis customers, are among the highest Internet and data users in the world and iPhone 3G will further enliven their mobile experiences with Maxis,” said Das.
“We are making nearly RM1.6bil of investments into our networks this year. Over the coming months we will continue a comprehensive upgrade and expansion programme that will further enhance coverage and performance, including our high speed 3G data network.”

I think I’m starting to get addicted to photography and in particular HDR photography. Well, I kinda just started HDR photography about 3/4 months ago but whatever it is, I’m lovin’ it! Nothing serious so far. Just took out the camera whenever I see something interesting and a potentially nice shot. I don’t go out for the sole purpose of taking pictures. Well, it’s always worth to carry a camera around wherever we go, never know when it might come in handy.
Got my self a pro Flickr account as I’ve exceeded the 200 photo limit for Flickr. So check my Flickr page out!
Here are just some HDR pictures I took in the past, I’ve posted some here before.
So yeah, check out my Flickr page!
