Let's go hunting!

Well I promised you that I will post an update on my job search.

I am still unemployed! and I don't like it!
I need to earn some money to survive the high cost of living in Malaysia. 
A lot of you must be shocked, since I have been living in UK, known to be as an expensive country to live in.

Well, to be honest, you are wrong.
Have you been to the supermarkets lately?
When I went there, I felt like everything is dead expensive.
I went grocery shopping in Manchester every week. well you can imagine if you literally live above a supermarket, who wouldn't?

In Manchester, I spent on grocery + toiletries about 50-70 pounds a month. and to those of you who know me, I eat like a man. I have a huge appetite. but 70 pounds is sufficient.

For instance, toiletries - i can easily get good brands e.g Garnier, Loreal and Palmolive at just below 2 pounds per bottle. 

Chicken - 10kg of chicken legs = 12 pounds.

chocs and biscuits - from 50p to 2 pounds. 

dead cheap. right.
go do yourself a favour and go to the supermarket.
plus, you can't leave the house with less than 50 ringgit these days. what's going on? once i start working, i will just eat at mamak and gerai tepi jalan to save money.

Anyways, about the job hunting.. so far I got a job offer from the Institute of Mental Health Singapore. Decided to turn it down because I don't want to be specialised in psychiatric straight away. So, I thought I've decided that I'll just stay in Malaysia to the PRP, with the fear of getting posted to rural areas. Went to the interview already but I don't know when will I start. Apart from that, I had to miss another interview at a hospital in UK coz i'm back in Msia and damnnn they dont allow skype/telephone interview. owh well.

so that's the long story.

til then, keep eating people! it's still raya!
