This is it folks, my last stay in Penang for a long while. Next time I'll be back in Penang is for vacation, taken off my annual leave allocation. Can't believe that in exactly 1 month, I'll be back in KL looking for a place to stay and getting familiarized with KL roads. Which leaves me here doing mostly low budget activities most of the time or straightening things out.
Things to do before I leave (hopefully able to):
1. Get a dental examination (can't remember the last time)
2. Service my car
3. Eat at places I'll miss
4. Pay old friends a visit
5. Have tandoori chicken at Kapitan's
6. Get my STPM cert mailed to me (I forgot to claim it back then)
7. Have some Jap food at the usual places
8. Try out some snow beer @ Church St Cafe
9. Lose a few kg
10. Have some Bah Kut Teh @ Macalister Road
11. Watch Wanted
12. Supper @ Chulia St (curry mee, wan tan mee & fruit juice)
13. Watch Hancock
14. Have a meal near the jetty (hope they buck up their quality this time)
15. Grab a Venti mug from starbucks
Funny thing about employment is when you send out a mountain of resumes and wait for interview calls, is the interview calls and offers that comes through. After signing up with one, the rest just decide to call you up for interviews and some can be really persuasive. Unfortunately, have to turn them down as you're already signed up.
Companies that I have turned down interview calls (in chronological order), so far:
1. Western Digital
2. Intel
3. Reckitt Benckiser
4. Philips Lumined
It felt bad to turn them down, and sorry for the HR personnel making the calls. Either way, I've already signed on for a job.

It's Philips LumiLEDs. Am surprised you turn down all these offers, especially Intel.
