After attending interview at Emirates Stadium 2 weeks ago for the position of Catering/Retail Assistant,I was given a call few days back to attend an Job Induction Training on 21st May now the venue for the training will be the 90,000 capacity Wembley Stadium. I was thrilled to visit Wembley Stadium although it takes me quite some time to reach there using public transportation as Wembley is more than 20 miles from where I currently staying, is like from my Home in Bukit Kukus to Batu Kawan for seafood just that here I have to uses buses,tube and DLR instead of having the privillage of using my beloved not so good quality national make car Proton Waja which I misses cause I made that car so personal to me, I mean even without the air brush,the cheap stickers and all those dolls most people can easily recognised my car from afar, Thats how personal my car is, I bet most of you will agree.
Anyway reach Wembley Stadium around 1700 while the training starts at 1730, so I decided to have a short tour outside of the stadium. Oh here is a fun fact, Wembley Stadium actually have 8 floors with high wall,which means is higher than Gembira Parade,Island Plaza and definately higher than Batu Kawan Stadium but I am not so sure it is higher than Bukit Jalil Stadium.

Well after registering with the security and giving my documents to the relevant personal, was escorted around Wembley to the training room. Honestly I think I might really get lost if I wandered around by myself as the place is huge and sophiscated. There was around 40 of us for that session of training. Oh yea, while I saw one very familiar face ,I know i know everybody seems to look familiar to me no matter where I go, is not like I know them it just that they look familiar,maybe something wrong with my eye-sight I guess, I mean at the beginning I can't even differentiate Yin Ying and Mei Yin when I first saw them. Anyway back to the point,the familiar face that I saw is a very petite ,sweet,young and hot Thai girl which I didn't get to know yet, yes I know some of you might be dissapointed with me but trust me I will get to know her the next time around, oh yea now I know why why she looks familiar because she looks something like Michelle Ng ,for those who don't know who is Michelle Ng kindly give Thean Mark a call and ask him about it.
There are alot of nice people in the group even the trainers are very nice and EXTREMELY HOT too, I will seeing some of them again this Sunday at Emirates Stadium. I had quite alot of fun during the training especially with some of the games although is some simple games but it is really fun and we get to interact.
Oh yea, never judge a book by its cover, I was sitting at the front row and there is this guy behind me who look pretty smart with his glasses and hair stlye and the look, he look like someone that you normally would like to go to when you have questions. OH MY, how wrong was I, this guy is what we call "KIANG OH HOR,MANG KEH KIANG". I mean he tried so freaking hard to steal the limelight and impressed the trainers but he failed miserably. I mean 9 out 10 things come out his mouth are BS and is total BS,is like he is trying to act like he knows everything but reality bites my friends you know almost freaking NOTHING so please don't pretend you know evrything. I think your IQ level shouldnt be able to exceed 75. The guy sitting next to me was smilling cunningly everytime that guy speaks, I m not sure it is because of what he says or is it because of his accent.
Anyway we were giving some short tour around Wembley after the training, I have to admit I m very impressed with the interior design of the stadium, it was simple,decent and yet classy at the same time. Wembley Stadium also accomodate the largest restaurant in London with the seating capacity of 2000 pax in a seating, man thats freaking huge for a restaurant.

I also managed to have a look at one of those VIP box, David Beckham had a box there too, each box costs around £100k - £150k a season without food and wine to unwind, thats just the cost of the box alone.You will have to pay extra for the food and wine. Anyway the view from the VIP box is superb and each room can accomodate around 25 pax , just to give you guys some rough idea in case any 0f you would like to get one for yourself.

The stadium looks beautiful at night too, finishes the training at 2115, manage to take a few picture of the night scene of the stadium.
Lastly, See Khoon I know you hates it when I mentioned your name in here but I m so excited that I will be working in Emirates Stadium this Sunday for the final match of the season in Arsenal Vs Stoke match.OMG I might bump into the real FATBREGAS although unlikely I will. ps. I m looking for a new blog skin for my blog, if you come across any blog skin you think will suits me kindly tell me ya. Thanks
Been job searching all over the places, but so far not much luck until TODAY, 13 May , I was finally called for an interview for a JOB !!! OMG ... So far until today dont really have much luck with job searching because either the people looking for permenant type of person or HANDSOME, since I m not UK citizen or HANDSOME so basically with my criteria I cant even pass the first round of application so dont mention get called for an interview..
Last week ,I bump into an advert looking for part-time Event Retail Assistant , so I was thinking what the heck just go ahead and apply and they asked me to go for interview today. Do you know where is the location of my interview ? TAADAA
Yup it was at See Khoon & Gang beloved Emirates Stadium... Well honestly I knew before hand what this company does thats why I applied for it.. This company DNC that I am applying for is the sole provider for Catering and Hospitality Section for Wembley Stadium, Emirates Stadium and Pride Park, well you see Pride Park isnt really a park is the home ground of Derby County FC. So basically what this company does is in charge of food and alcohol for those stadium matches and events.
So I went for interview that scheduled at 1000 but I depart from my place at 0720 for a journey that take me around 1 and half hour because I was very excited you see, working in a stadium while I m here is part of my dream and plan and now I got the chance to work in at least THREE stadiums ,THREE totally awesome and cool and fun and sweet stadium. Reach around 0845, so decided to walk around and see if I can bump into Fabregas and tell him I got a friend name FATbregas too...lol...
I was quite shocked when I reach because I saw like few hundreds or maybe even thousand of people sitting upstairs in the conference room, I mean I know the unemployment rate is freaking high like 2.2 Million but what the fuck with so many people applying for this job even though I was nervous and confident at the same time.. Then I walked forward and ask a guy looking like a security guard, " Excuse me Sir, is this where the DNC job interview took place ? " and he gave me the 'umm, what the fuck' type of look and say " Nop, this is the contestants for the X Factor audition" . Honestly at the moment I was so relieved is like JACK FINALLY GOT HIS FIRST KISS and get tongue tied. X FACTOR is something like Akademi Fantasia, American Idol, Britan Got Talent those kind of reality series. Here is a clip on X FACTOR
Ok back to me, finally manage to get to the interview location after asking at the Security Office. The interview location is at the very cool dining area inside the stadium that normally would cost £300 pax for hospitality during the match, so I had quite a good view of the field but too bad I couldnt take picture of it because we have turn off our phone but nevermind I will have my chance soon. The first batch of candidates roughly around 30 of us which is quite a big group since they have like 5 or 6 interview sessions. Suprisingly among the 30 of us there are no WHITE , white as I mean caucasian,ang moh, yellow monkey or anyway you would like to put it. 60% were Indians, 30% African and 10% Chinese, I guess this type of job not that popular among them I guess.
Is been a while since I been to an interview so I would say my performance during the interview isnt what it should be, I could do better but I didnt, although I think I did quite badly but somehow the interviewer decided that he will give me a chance, so basically I sort of get the job but I do have to go through a few training sessions on the company, Health and Safety , Fire Procedures before my appointment is confirm. So I guess I will be working in stadium during COOL matches soon. That is not too bad for a start even though is only occasional and part time position.
I really hope that I can get to start work soon, I know EPL season is nearly over but we have alot of World Cup qualifying and friendly matches coming up which I hope I will be able to participate in it. See May 13 isnt that bad after all, is only bad because a handful of idiot make it bad.
Was coming down from bus and plan to get something to eat for my dinner then I look up the sky and saw this most amazing rainbow of all time in my life so far. Is too bad that I dont have any better camera with me as I only used my mobile camera function to snap it but honestly it look so much better in real as it look like its really glowing, its cool
The first picture was taken at 1945 while the last one was taken at 1955, it just show us that in life if you hestitate or think too much the most beautiful thing that might happened in your life might just slip through your grasp.
DO NOT LET YOUR DREAMS SLIP THROUGH YOUR HANDS and most important never ever let anyone important to u go, you will regret it for sure.
Look around you,appreciate the people around you and you shall be appreciated
Sorry for not updating bout myself for so long, live in Manchester is tiring for me so most of the times i m quite tired, and I didnt have any laptop or internet conection yet so you ppl wont be seeing me on9.. Well i m just waiting for my xmas sales before getting my laptop because it would be cheaper then , and my boss is getting internet connection in a week or 2 so i guess u will see me on9 more often next month or perhaps December, till then just dont forget bout me and my blog...
Ok live in Manchester are cool although tiring for me, ppl here are generally very friendly and not rasict as Manchester is a metropolitian.. When i first reached, weather was acceptable and cooling, but now is start to get freaking cold as winter approaching, outside should be around 6C now as i m typing and at night it can go till 1-3C , so is a new experience for me..
Most of the time here I m in the kitchen working, so hardly had any time to explore still so not much thing I can share with your ppl. So i will just blog about my working place for today.
I worked in Sayuri Noodle & Rice Bar in Friendship Inn, 353 Wilslow road..Well I got alot of bosses , in fact I m the only worker there so fucking hell most of thing I have to do...haha..No choice la but nvm pasal boss quite nice to me, both main boss from Penang eh so treating me alright..In fact I dont have any chance to miss Pg food as they always cook good pg food for all of us like Char koay Teow, Char Hor Fun, Bak Kut Teh, Rendang, Wantan Mee n etc and the best thing it doesnt cost me anything...
Friendship Inn is a very huge old time type of pub can seats around 300pax indoor & outdoor, and the decorations are very cosy type and you can see alot of old Manchester City photos hanging by the wall..A very good place to hang out but too bad not a popular choice among students as students prefer funkier n modern pub/club..So I miss alot of chances to see those hot students in mini skirts even though the weather in so FUCKING cold...So I wonder spring time what they going to wear...haha
I hope that everybody is doing ok and do keep me inform if there is anything special or updates in your life.. My uk number is +44791 666 4507 or 0791 666 4507 for ppl in uk... Do realise 666 in my number ? because i m so devilish...Wah ha ha
After few days of travelling by plane , tube , bus and cab and plenty of walking, finally i m settle down at my require destination , MANCHESTER..
My journey started from my house who i need to rush to the airport because i fall asleep the night before, lucky to make the flights thanks to WX, is nice waking up to a call from a sweet voice..Is good that I have to rush because it left out alot of moments to get emotional. My friends Soon Ping,Bu and Kim didnt manage to make it to send me off because they overslept, they spend the night before with me thou, Sorry guys for not being able to see u all because the flight really taking off soon.
Reach Bangkok in less than 1 and half hours. Nothing special over there just that one of the officer checked my passport for its genuinelity before my flight to London. It seems that he only checks Asian country passport, discrimination ? perhaps...
Reach Hearthow Airport at 1830 local time, met a quite strict Clerance Officer so he sent me for Medical check up which cost me around 3 hours of my precious time for resting, is a long journey from BKK to London mind you.
After that, take the Tube to a hostel near Buckingham Palace, reach around 2245 was damn tired by then so i just took a bath then just rest in my room.Nothing special happened as i was too tired to roam around.
Morning wake up, eat some breakfast then clean myself up then while on my way to the coach station stop by Sainsbury supermarket, bought 5 blueberry donuts for £0.69 only , is even cheaper here compared to Malaysia. Then went to the coach station and bought a coach ticket to Manchester . Sit for 5 hours from London to Manchester . When I reach Manchester I took a cab to my destination "Friendship Inn Pub" , not only the name sounds awesome the atmosphere are superb , I think this place are simply the best and none of the pub in Msia can beat it. It is classy and cosy at the same time.
Had a tour around the place when I reach then arounf 2130 my boss fetch me back to my accomodation, the room was huge ,is even bigger than my current room in Msia but the place is a lil dirty thou, but my boss telling me that we will be moving to a better place in 2 weeks time. For now i just have to bear with it.
Bought some shampoo and stuff, the shampoo only cost £0.65 , pls try to find one in Malaysia with this price, then bought pillows and DUVET, duvet is a blanket, ppl here dunno what is a blanket. Reach home, bath then rest d ..Was tired from the journey from London to Manchester.
Wake up in the morning, my boss took me for a tour around Manchester before heading to our Friendship Inn Pub.It was a hectic session for lunch, my boss asked me to take an hour break so here am I blogging for all my friends out there. Everything is alright here so dont worry.
Oh yea, the people in UK especially in London and Manchester are very friendly and superbly nice , I heard that in other places they tend to be racist because they are more close minded. Will update you all when I visit those places. Liverpool is actually the poorest place in England with more than 60% of the populations are living on Public Funds of around £65 a week.
Just for your info, Manchester is actually the largest Education Hub in Europe, around my place there are more than 50K students studying and living here. I had alot of eyes cleansing over here but too bad there are alot of entau ba here too so I don't think I will have any chance but you just never know.
Thats all for now, I will try to update as often as possible till I get a laptop so do drop by and support my blog ok...
After a few weeks of uncertainty my 1st destination in UK will be Manchester after all. I do hope for Manchester at first when I was thinking of going to UK and I guess is has decided it will be Manchester to start with. Well i guess is a sweet time to go Manchester now with their all time famous Red Devils @ Man Utd and their upcoming and rising Manchester City FC that just been taken over by multi-billionaire Arab sheiks aka Mr Moneybags aka Sheikh Munsoor bin Zayed al Nahyan and he is just 38 years old this year. Guess football will only get more interesting in Manchester. haha Casas De Manchester
