bad movie experience

Perhaps I was born to have bad luck most of the times. I sincerely believe that. Everywhere I go, things always go wrong for me. It was NEVER smooth-sailing. Not even once. If it is, then something extremely bad would be waiting at the end of it all.

Today was no exception. Well, yesterday actually. Last night to be exact. I went to watch Spiderman 3 at 9.15 PM. The movie was great, in fact it was the second time I went watching. The first time I went with my Aunt in Sibu, the second with my sisters (yeah, I'm in Kuching right now till Gawai Hols are over). I don't mind watching a good movie more than once. Especially when my sisters were so hyped about watching Spiderman 3. =)

Everything was great until we went into the cinema. To be honest with you guys, I hate kids. Remember all my posts about those blasted neighbours' kids that I so wanted to kill with my bare hands? Well, I hate it even more when I go to cinema and found kids sitting either in front of me, at my back, to my left or right. 9 out of 10 times I'd scold the stupid, rude, unethical parents for ignoring their kids naughty antics and unbearable behaviour. I mean, what's the point of bringing your kids to the cinema if they can't even behave properly? And disturbing all the other cinema goers who has every intention to just ENJOY the movie?? Parents : What do you have to say about this???

I scolded a mother sitting behind me just now. She had a kid sitting on her lap who took great joy into kicking the back of my chair. It went on for a good half hour before I finally snapped and told her off. Before that, I kept looking behind, sorta like giving her hints or warnings, hoping that she'd get the hints and somehow control her kids (she had like 3 other kids at varying ages).

Did she get the signs?

NOPE. THAT DUMBASS. And what pissed me off even more is the way she talked to her sons in English, mimicking the Ang-mohs and talking so loudly some more.

I bombed her with English just now. Loudly too.

COULD YOU PLEASE STOP HIM FROM KICKING MY CHAIR ALL THE TIME??!! YOU ARE DISTURBING PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW THAT??!! IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL OR MAKE YOUR KIDS BEHAVE, THEN YOU MAY AS WELL JUST GO OUT! AND BRING THEM WITH YOU!

She apologized and then unbelievably, her kids behaved themselves throughout the rest of the movie.

Like you have to really embarrass and humiliate them (the parents) enough to make them start taking initiative in controlling their kids? Come on lar. What's the matter with parents nowadays? Why can't you take the effort to discipline your kids? So difficult meh?

To all parents who never care to discipline their kids now : I hope the day comes when you're old and your kids are all grown up like the hantu that you raised them to be and that they'll ill-treat you and leave you to rot in the old folks home because you so goddamn deserve it!

p/s : Not all kids are bad. I noticed a little girl in the cinema just now sitting at the row right in front of me. It's obvious she has been disciplined and well taught by her parents because she was so well behaved. So nice! So sweet! So obedient! There was no sound from her, no tantrums at all. So guai!!! So much so that I asked God : Why can't all kids be like her? And why can't all parents be like her parents? I noticed from the way her parents communicate that they are ethical people. Not like some morons who behave like samseng/paikia. Geez!

annoying neighbours

I can't sleep. Been trying real hard to sleep for the past hour. Am deeply disturbed by this particular neighbour who has a kid that howls like a goddamn ghost.

*listens carefully*

Crap. It sounds more like a dog howling. You know, when they are crying. Those deep, hollow anguish howls.

*slaps forehead*

What on earth is becoming of the kids nowadays?

*cradles head*

And what the fuck is wrong with parents nowadays???!

I mean, can you imagine your own son howling like a goddamn dog in anguish in the middle of the farking night? Can't they like, fucking TRY and DISCIPLINE him? Do whatever lar, just shut up the goddamn kid. For crying out loud, people are trying to sleep lar.

Cheebye neighbourhood.

One more month. One more month and I'm out of Sarikei. Am going to be so bloody glad too! FCUK!

final decision

I've made up my mind. About the job offer. Finally! Last week I had decided to stay with the company I'm working with now. I thought I was through and through with that. And so I slept peacefully for one night.

The day after that though, I started having doubts. Now, as some of my readers asked : What caused those doubts?

That really got me to thinking. I thought I was firm with my decision. But I was wrong. Something wasn't right. I prayed for guidance from God. I was willing to accept whatever signs that God would throw my way. Anything! And yes. I was that desperate ok.

He answered my prayers. More like, he showed me a hint. A very important hint, that would guide me to the right path.

Out of nowhere, this question sprang out : If you reject now, how many years do you think you'd have to slave yourself before you reach the basic salary that they (my ex-boss lor) offered you?

I was totally dumbfounded. I wasn't aware of that. I didn't even take that into consideration! So I asked around. And I took every care to consult the most experienced Engineers (at least 15 years experience). Their answer? 10 years.

10 years?!! WHAT??!! I can't wait 10 years! Why would I wait 10 years when I can get it now? *vomits blood* I almost let a great opportunity slips right through my hands!!!

*bangs my head to the wall, table and floor*

Stupid!!! Baka! Tolol!

*took out a BIG calculator and starts calculating*

*took out a big blank paper, jotting down all details, painting the BIG picture and started speculating the reactions of Mr. Owl*

*took out another big blank paper and started calculating risks*

OMG! Lucky I haven't rejected my ex-boss!

And OMG! I really underestimated Mr. Owl. If I put myself in Mr. Owl's position, I wouldn't be worrying anything at all. Wanna know why or not?

Cuz Mr. Owl got Mr. Mouse mar. Since he's the Project Manager, with me gone, Mousie can still cover for me mar.

*evil grins* Poor Mousie.

So now it's clear. I'll resign and join my ex-boss. I hope they take good care of me. *sigh* They better!!!

*prays some more*

Now I can really sleep in peace. I've even told Mr. Owl that I'm resigning soon. He took it nicely (as expected) and told me calmly that he can't stop me from resigning (as expected too) if I've truly found a better offer elsewhere. To do that would mean that he's stopping my personal growth and career advancement. That would be selfish of him.

OMG! I was deeply touched! He also told me that he has big plans for me (but I doubt his big plans can rival the offer I've been given lar). He wants to appoint/promote me to become the head of something something in the company and frankly speaking the post he told me did not interest me at all. I was like : Phew! Lucky I took that offer. ^^;;

Mr. Owl promised to write me a good Testimonial. We'll see how good it is soon. I'm not putting up any high hopes until I see what he has in mind. Another man's food could be another man's poison, ya know?

But all in all, I'm contented now. All my hard work paid off. Having said all that though, I still have a long way to go. I hope I'm strong enough to trudge through whatever challenges or obstacles thrown along my path. I hope I'll still have time to continue blogging. =D

The last time I worked with my ex-boss, I ended up having no social life at all. I hope I can juggle my workloads and still have time socializing with my family and dear friends. And yes. I hope I have time to blog as well. ^___^

Thanks for reading everybody. I appreciate it very very much! Yay!

temptations

Temptations are annoying. Disturbing. Remember my decision about the job offer? I thought I've made the decision and that's final. I read the comments of my blog's readers and was deeply touched with their supports and words of encouragements.

And then comes the temptations. Ugh!

Just yesterday, out of no where, came this question : If you reject now, how many years do you think you'd have to slave yourself before you reach the basic salary that they (my ex-boss lor) offered you? 5 years? Maybe more.

Shit! That's so damn true!

Ok. To enlighten you guys. I'll tell you this one bit detail about my current earnings per month:-

Current boss : Basic Salary (BS) + Allowance (AL) = Amount C

Ex-boss offer : Basic Salary (BS) = Amount C + 12.5% of Amount C

Get the picture? I didn't even think about it! It simply slipped my mind! And no, eventhough I've decided not to take the offer, I have not turned it down as well. So the door's still open.

I think.

Am I greedy?

I think I better list all the pros and cons down one by one tonight. They have came back to haunt me!!! And dear readers, please help me!!!

And I've just realized something too when I read my reader's comment. I didn't make the decision by following my heart. I made it following my head. *sigh*

By now you guys are probably frustrated with me. *pulls hair out*

I am frustrated too. Damn temptations! Aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

end of dilemma

Howdie folks! I'm back back back. *chuckles*

I've made up my mind. It's the end of my dilemma. I'm not gonna resign from my current job. *sigh*

Is that silly? Nay. I don't know how to explain this, but I personally feel that this is not a fight I should back out from.

I love challenges. But the challenges depend on the risks involved. The consequences of my decisions and actions. The commitments I've assigned to myself.

I spent close to one week of sleepless nights, tossing around in my bed. Wide eyed. My brain cells were working overtime and they are slowing to a halt. Almost. *paiseh* I think I worked them to the point of death. ^^;; Aaa... bad me bad me. =P

I've also taken what Crizzy said into consideration. Thanks for the pointers dude! =)

1. Will u be happy in the new environment compared to the old one?
I've worked with this boss before, so I'm certain of what the new environment would be. But I'm not really bothered with the environment. I'm more concerned of human interactions and relationships. I can work in the worse of environments, but if human interaction sucks, I don't think I can live with that. I have close to 0% endurance level. ^^;;

2. Were u be fairly remunerated for the amount of hard work you have put in? Of course get more from the new company if they are so desperate to get hold of you. The bargaining power is in your hand. Do not go too low. Ask for a higher salary and negotiate with them. Who knows, they migt just approve your requirement.
Definitely no. There's no such thing as fair when it comes to working your ass off. I don't even own the damn company. Why work so hard and earn so little when the damn thing does not even belong to you? I'll call it totally, wholly, utterly unfair. Yes. The bargaining power is in my hand, but does the Boss realize that? Maybe he does, and hence tried every possible way to win me over. eg. sweet-talking me, bluffing me, luring me. -___-'' Again, I've been treated like a 3 year old kid. Sien!

For me, the negotiation period is over. Thank God I'm not easily influenced. Crap all you want, I'll just laugh heartily away. Muahahaha! =D

3. Compare the 2 companies. Which of this 2 can give u better job promotion?
Hn. Better job promotion? Both has good aspects. Both are big companies; one local and one semi-international type. Both has awesome organizational setups. Both are capable of giving good job promotions. Both are good stepping stones - if you're aiming for higher, better working environment and remuneration. Both are extremely competitive. Both has their respective pros and cons. If I were to weight them out, the results would be a very close match. That's why it's so difficult to decide.
4. Will this new job affect your life, relationship, etc?
Life? Hmm. Me got no life one lar. Everyday mah work work work like crazy and then sleep sleep sleep like a pig lor. So I'm not worried about life. I'm not in any relationship at all so that's another thing out of the list to worry about. But hor, I do worry about being home-sick. Both jobs require me to travel a lot and be far far away from my home sweet home wor. I think the things I worry the most are:-
  • food (bad food turns me off, and gimme bad mood. Really!)
  • internet connection (can't imagine living without surfing and downloads)
  • air-cond (I sweat a lot on site but if you want me to sweat while sleeping then I may as well no need to sleep liao!!!)
  • transportation (to cabut anytime lor)
  • salary + allowance = reasonable??? (I can be easily appeased if I'm satisfied here. LOL. Who doesn't eh? Muahahaha!)
  • career advancement (if can't advance then I may as well quit now lor, why so bodoh wanna trudge your way through?)
This is what another reader commented:-
Ken said...

Honestly, you sound like you want to take it but just afraid of the change...

Just my opinion though. As what Criz said.. just follow your heart and make yourself happy. We only live once.
Hmm. Maybe yes. Maybe no. I am afraid, but not of the changes. I'm more afraid of the consequences of my actions. What if I made a wrong decision?! What if I threw away the best opportunity I already had in my hands, just to get a rotten deal? What if I screw up?! So many what if(s). Aiyor. Headache lor.

A call from my ex-boss helped me to decide. On the spot actually. He mentioned something about getting lotsa projects from all over the place. I asked him whether he has any intention of sending me over to those places and appoint me as representative there. The answer? A bellowing Yes! To my great disappointment. Not that I wasn't expecting it, mind you, but with the type of work loads he expected me to do, he's giving me a lousy salary - one which he thinks is VERY high already.

That's it. Game over. End of story. I'm not joining him. Bleh. Bu-bye. Sayonara.

I'm bad, no? An advice from me to you. Never show any sympathy to ANY of your boss ok? They so bloody dun deserve it! And what? You think they will pity you if, one day you're rendered useless? Wake up deary! They won't even buy you coffin if you died on the spot! No matter how much you deserve it. And no. I'm being very serious here.

I'm cunning, no? If I don't get what I want then I make sure you don't get what you want also. Fair or not? No? Eeee... your brain functioning or not ar? =P

I'm heartless, no? Wei, if I'm heart-ful then I mah very busy lor, no? Where got time to look after myself if I keep kay-poh-ing about other ppl's welfare? Haiya!

I'll try my best to concentrate on my work now and just strive to do better and better and gain more and more knowledge with each passing day. No matter what, you just have to climb that ladder. Otherwise, you'd never now what's up there!

Looking back now, I feel so stupid worrying myself silly over such trivial matters. Such things are considered trivial once you're over them. The moment you haven't decide though, it feels like it's the whole world you'd ever had. Pathetic hor? *shakes head*

Ta-Pen-Dan! (translate : Big stupid egg) No wonder my head felt like splitting!

*slaps forehead*

*scurries off to watch Anime*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
p/s : Crizzy and Ken. Thanks for your comments and thanks for reading. I really appreciate them. They helped immensely. =)

p/s 2 : Thanks to all the readers who's been frequenting my blog, reading everything that I spewed out in the darkest moments of my life. Your presence somehow soothes me. The numbers of visitors visiting my blog comforts me. Thank you all for your support. I mean it. Really. Arigato! =^___^=

dilemma

Yo! Haven't been posting in a while. Busy mar.

So busy that I forgot to eat lunch. You don't believe? I'm telling you the truth! I've just came back from work. Sitting in front of the Lappy with a totally empty stomach, drumming its way while I typed the stuffs I'm gonna blog about.

I've been suffering from severe headache lately. It could have been caused by the new spec I'm wearing. I don't think it's compatible with my eyes. I can't look properly without feeling the pressure building up within my eyeballs. And then my temple hurts. Both sides. Then my whole head hurts. Berdenyut-denyut one. Adoi! Pain pain!

Remember the job offer by my ex-boss? I went to site with him yesterday. Had discussions with them yesterday.

What's my conclusion?

It's dang interesting I tell you! (But I can't tell you details lar. Aiyah)

But hor, salary wise, sakit kepala. I dunno how much I should ask for lor. Aiyah. How hor? Tsk!

And I found out something that really makes my blood boil just now lor. Neh. The snake and the pig ar. Their allowance approved already wor. Can claim arrears all the way back to Dec last year wor. I'm very tu-lan. I came here in April (I won't mention the year lar) but they only gimme allowance from July onwards. Those two tidak kerja, senang-senang balik rumah sleep, and they get allowance starting from the moment they started work?

Tu-lan. Really tu-lan.

If I resign now, I'm sure Mousie will hang himself and Mr. Owl will bang his head to the wall.

I'm sure lar. The most important jobs I handle mar. That's how important I am ok. So why pijak my ekor wor.

Tu-lan. Very tu-lan.

Kalau ikutkan hati, mau saja I throw the letter at Mousie's face!

I'll enjoy watching him squirm! And jump high high.

But easier said than done lar. I'm bit bit scared also.

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

Aaaaarrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Songs I listened to when I was 18...

Hello minna. I'm back after gone missing for one day. Do you miss me?

*high hopes*

*sigh*

Maybe not.

I've been really down lately. Attempted to work myself to death several times. Somehow sweating and immersing myself deeply into my work seems like paradise lately. Something bad must have happened to my head, no?

Anyway, I didn't have the mood to blog last nite and so I didn't post anything at all. I settled into watching CSI Season 4 episode 22. Went to sleep straight after that. My brain's not functioning at all.

Logged on just now and found that Criz Lai tagged me again. =) Thanks dude. I needed the distraction, somehow. But hor, the title is a bit weird weird. It's about the hit songs I listened to when I was 18.

O.o

Um. Um. Ummm... I don't think I can remember. But maybe if I tried super duper hard, maybe... I'll manage to remember. Somehow. ^^;; Anyway, there are rules for this meme. Is this a meme? It is, right?

THE RULES:

  1. Go to www.popculturemadness.com
  2. Select the year you turned 18 (type the year in the google search)
  3. Get all nostalgic over the songs of the year
  4. Write about it
  5. Pass this tag onto 5 others

Errr... to be frank. I'm a bit weird. I'm not really into hit songs when they are actually hits. I only listen to them when the "heat" is over. Get what I mean? For example, the songs that were great hits in 1990? I'll only listen to them like 3 years after, when it wasn't as popular as before. Yayaya. I'm late in everything. Choy meh? *sigh*

*went to www.popculturemadness.com*

*browse browse browse*

*click click click*

O.O''

Okok. Maybe I did listen to them only that I didn't realize them. Here's the results :-

Un-Break My Heart - Toni Braxton
This is one of my fav songs. It's so blue, so sad, you feel like committing suicide if you keep listening to it. For a sentimental person like me, it's as if I'm re-living the experience whenever I listen to these songs. It feels real. I could feel the pain, the aching, that searing pain when the knife stabbed deep into your heart and pure, raw, utter darkness of loneliness that engulf you, trapping you forever in those misery.

*sigh*

Aside from that, this is one good song that deserves a good praise. It has so much emotions inside, you simply can't resist.

Wannabe - Spice Girls
Hahaha. The Spice Girls! That brings back memory. This song is kinda funky and it's very alive, full with vibrant energy and you simply can't ignore them. Rebellious bunch. Just like me. I like. Hehehe

Whenever I'm in rebellious mood, I yearn to listen to this hit. And it's no sweat cuz it was played almost on daily basis by all the radio deejays across the country. Spice Girls really rock back then babe! *whistle*

The opening is very very honest and straight to the point. No beating around the bush. Definitely my type. Hahaha

MMMBop - Hanson
Hn. Frankly speaking, the first time I listened to this song, I got so annoyed I walked straight from the living room into my bed room. I don't know why really, but I just dun like the sound of it. The wavelength is all wrong and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't sync with them. *shakes head*

4 Seasons of Loneliness - Boyz II Men
This is one more song that screams the blues. Broken hearts. Loneliness. Black hole. Me like it. You get the vibes. Let's move on.

Candle In The Wind 1997 - Elton John
This song was one of those touching song that makes you feel all sad and lonely and makes tomorrow seem so dim. It was originally written in 1973 as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, rededicated to Ryan White in 1990 and then in 1997, a remake was done as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. She died in a car crash on 31st August 1997. On my birthday!! Ma-deh! That was one of the shock of my life. Instead of getting "Happy birthday" when I logged into mirc back then on 31st August 1997, I got a "wei, Princess Diana DIED oredi!!! Go check it out! Watch cnn news live!!!".

When I told my dad about it, he straight away brushed me aside and demanded to use the internet to read the BIG news instead of letting me chat happily away with my friends in mirc wor.

*sigh*

Me very kolien ler. *sob* *sob*

Barbie Girl - Aqua
This song!!! THIS SONG! It's my FAV!!! Muahaha. I luv it so much I went and BUY their album. CD. Original some more. Back then it costs a whopping RM42! I played the entire album songs everyday on my CD Player for close to half a year before switching to other songs. *thumbs up*

To The Moon and Back - Savage Garden
Haha! I remember this too. It's my number one fav. Used to sing along with it all the time. I think I can spend hours repeating and singing this song until I couldn't sing anymore. It feels so good. I'll imagine myself singing on stage in a rock concert. The only thing is, I couldn't dance. Didn't know how to. Still can't dance. Dumb!

What to do?! I have two dumb sticks as legs mar. Ugh!

Hard To Say I'm Sorry - Az Yet
I don't quite agree with this song lar. If sorry mai say sorry lor, right? But, I like the tune and the way they sing it. Whenever I feel blue, I'll play this song too lor.

Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle
Oooo. This song I always play at night. Somehow, this song helps me to understand how my parents would feel, each time I grow older. Very touching song. *sigh*

How Do I Live - LeAnn Rimes/Trisha Yearwood
Oh babe this song rocks! But I prefer the version sang by Trisha Yearwood more compared to LeAnn Rimes. Trisha Yearwood's country type of singing really melts my heart. Until now, I still listen to this song. *melts*

2 Become 1 - Spice Girls
Oh. I remember the MTV. I'm lazy to describe here but I remember the MTV. Very deja vu feel to it. I miss spice girls!!!

Say You'll Be There - Spice Girls
This is the part about giving giving giving and never receiving anything in return that I so damn hate lor. Aiyah. I don't wanna remember this lar.

Coco Jamboo - Mr. President
This song is good for dancing. I always on it whenever I'm doing maths cuz the tune just made my brain cells race in order to compete. Hence, I finished my maths homework much much faster!

I Want You - Savage Garden
This song is hot hot hot. I like it so much, I tried to sing along but it's just too damn fast! So I online, looked up its lyrics, copy paste it and tried to sing along. I managed to get the timing right but but but! I ran out of breath 3 lines down the song. Pah! But hor, this song I still likey very muchiieee lar. Hiak hiak hiak...

Spice Up Your Life - Spice Girls
Spicey. That's what I can say. The song did make me try to do silly things. Like, you know... stuffs that may spice up my life. Ahaks!

I Say A Little Prayer - Diana King
Ahhhh... Somebody say a little prayer for me now... =^.^=

Men In Black - Will Smith
Hahaha. Until this very day, whenever you mention men in black to me, I'll remember this Will Smith with a bunch of secret agents wearing all black suits, pants and shoes and ties and sporting this awesome cool looking sunglasses doing this group dancing. Very entertaining! I almost danced along. If not for my silly dumb legs! Muahahaha...

If It Makes You Happy - Sheryl Crow
Hmmm. I like Sheryl Crow's country type sound and singing. This song is kinda sarcastic, no? At least I think it is. Luv it the first time I heard it. Is that luv at first hearing? ^^

Wah lao eh! Quite a lot hor?! I am quite oblivious then. About myself. Aiyoh! Is this really me talking?

Hello??

Uh. It's me. *weird face*

Ok. Now comes the tagging part. I don't normally tag, but I'll tag this time and see how it goes.

I tag...
  1. "maemee"
  2. Je5sie
  3. 5xmom
  4. wils0n
  5. Giddy Tigers
I'm not sure whether they will do this or not. But... I hope they do cuz I'm curious. Wei, just do lar okay. I so wanna know you guys!!! You do I mah know lor.

*waits patiently*

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap...

It rained very heavily from the wee hours until almost 8 AM today. I woke up late. Felt so lazy to wake up due to the cold nice weather. It's nice to sleep in but a nightmare to go to work. I mean, how much can you do at site when it's raining? It drizzled on and off throughout the day. *sigh*

So I went to the office and only dropped by the site around 10.40 AM. Stayed there till 5.15 PM. I'm not in the mood to work today.

My pet turtle died. Yesterday. Mum didn't tell me until I asked her this morning.

I'm heartbroken. I prayed fervently for my turtle's recovery. I guess it's never meant to be.

I wish the tears would come.

Then I won't feel so bad.

But then again, some things are so totally out of our control. Who can control deaths? Nobody but God. Not even doctors.

I hope I'll get over this soon. You may see me smile and chatting heartily away but deep inside, I'm sad and down. Such a crumpled mess. Damn. How many people knows that huh? =(

cirit birit

Oh dear. Me lausai whole day today. So chee cham lar. Aiyo. Hope I'll be okay tomorrow ooo.

My eyes beh-tahan liao. Me wanna go sleep sleep liao.

Nite nite everybody. Have sweet dreams ya!

Oyasumi nasai.

ALEXA REDIRECT LINK TRAIN

Hmmm...

Came across this when I visited Criz Lai's blog just now. He tagged me for a train ride. The ride looks like fun. So I decided to try it.

*drum rolls*

Introducing... the ALEXA REDIRECT LINK TRAIN!!!

O.o Confused? Ok. Here. Allow me to explain.

This train is, without doubt a very advanced train cuz it can do the following:-

  • increases your Alexa ranking
  • increases your Technorati authority
  • increases traffic to your blog
  • increases your blog's popularity

In other words, it can make you famous!

So, what are you waiting for? Join now!!!

Still confused? Okay, here's a simple guideline I came across over the net. Actually I rewrite it to make it simple so go ahead and whack my head if I get them wrong. ^^;;

Rules:

  1. Just write anything you want here as the opening paragraph - e.g. introductions etc etc etc
  2. You'd notice 2 different categories here. The "Oldies" and the "Newcomers"
  3. Just copy paste or move the entire "Newcomers" links to the "Oldies" category (make sure the links are working properly and correct, otherwise there's no point in doing them. You can't visit a dead link now can you? ;P Remember! Do not remove the links!!!)
  4. Then create the "Newcomers" list of your own. These are the people whom you've decided to tag
  5. Make sure you link them like this : http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.example.com then invite them to join the train.
  6. You can add as many people as you want to invite to the train ride

makan angin

Yo folks! I've taken dinner and bath and dressed up ready to go out for a round of cruising. FYI, I have this habit of cruising around the town just for the heck of it.

I luv driving around dusk or twilight time. The scenery is the best then, with the sun setting and birds flying across the skies. It feels so peaceful and nice. The tranquility helps to clear my mind and promotes smart thinking. Hiak hiak hiak!

My brain is kinda stuck nowadays and so I needed something familiar to calm myself down. I haven't been acting the way I normally acted recently and everything's so weird and out of proportion. At the same time I've been so restless and so I've been forcing myself to work and worn myself out so that I'll just fall flat and sleep whenever I reached home.

So it's time for me to go makan angin now. Hopefully I'll post more later on. Especially on comments, so to all my dear readers out there : Please be patient ya...

Be right back...

blogging about life boring?

I've just came back from site at 7 PM. Reached home totally tired and couldn't wait to hit the showers only to find my house owner's wife hogging the washroom. =(

Waited for half an hour before I finally could bath.

I took a cold bath today and it feels so refreshing! Nyahhh!

Then, I logged on and read a couple of blogs and then got to thinking. Actually my question was triggered by the readings done by me while surfing through the webs. I came across someone who wrote this : ...those who blog about their lives are so boring etc. etc... sometime about last week (I can't remember the exact wordings so this would have to suffice).

How true is that? I mean, I blog about my life. My work. My feelings, emotions, food and travels. I blog about how shitty my day was and how angry and pissed off I was when something went wrong and I feel like banging my head to the wall or just strangle somebody alive. Does that mean my blog is boring? Is my blog boring?

I can't answer that. I know I'm new in this blog thingy and even though I've been blogging for quite some time, at times I really didn't get much hits per day. But that's ok cuz I blog to make myself feel better instead of keeping all the ugly bad emotions locked up within me. I'd never dream of getting thousands upon thousands of visitors or readers per day. That's downright scarry by my standard. Not that I don't welcome them. The prospect of being so famous scare me. I prefer to stay in the shadows. Being an unknown. =P

It's safer that way. And perhaps I'll be happier that way.

Do I sound weird? Quite hor? ^^

tiring day

I've just came back from work. Yayaya. You read that right. From site. At 10.33 PM.

Worked from 8 AM till 5.35 PM and then 8.15 PM to 10.30 PM.

There were some site activities that I've always wanted to see but never got a chance to do so. Until just now.

*grins*

I'm nuts. A happy one too. Wakakaka

Washed my car today too after a long while. I got pissed after washing my car previously cuz it rained so dang heavily for two days continuously thereafter. Even called my car a frog cuz of that. Frogs always call for rain mar. If you washed your car and then it rains, then your car is a frog lor. You agree or not? =P

*sigh*

Today's such a rush. My legs hurt and I'm tired but am somewhat satisfied. My eyes can hardly stay open and my brain is gradually shutting down. In a few minutes time, I may not even be able to make any coherent or meaningful sentences. So it's best I stop now.

Good nite. ZzZzZzZz

THE BUS RIDE TO SARIKEI

Let me take this opportunity to tell you the story of my bus ride to Sarikei. It'll be something like One day in my life : CRAZY DAY! I mean, at least the format shall be the same lar. Contents are different story lor... ^.^

The bus departed at 3 PM and reached Sarikei at 8.20 PM. Today I walked all the way home from the Bus Terminal in Sarikei and it only took me 8 minutes. So I was officially home at 8.28 PM. =)


#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
JOB OFFER

You wanna know what the funny thing is? I spent the entire journey back to Sarikei thinking in the bus. Deep thinking. It's about my career and the new offer presented to me in the past few days.

My mind is so jumbled up, I have problems making decision. Both has their advantages and disadvantages. If you really want me to weight them out, I'll tell you they weight the same. Well. Almost. *sigh* It's that bad. *pulls hair*

I need to sort them out before I can start blogging about it. Aaaarrrggghhh!!!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
DRUNK DRIVER

Halfway through though, I noticed this sorta drunk driver driving a deep blue Proton Saga right in front of the bus. He was driving in a zigzag way and can really give you a heart attack when you are following him closely from behind. Several times, I saw near misses (of collision) when the car tried to overtake another car in front of it or when other cars behind it tried to overtake the blue Proton. We caught up to him about half an hour before reaching the Sri Aman's t-junction. Luckily, the bus driver today was smart enough to keep a distance apart. I think the driver of that car was drunk.

I heaved a sigh of relieve when the said drunkard drove all the way into Sri Aman and didn't turn right heading into Sarikei. That means we didn't have to follow him anymore. I didn't even notice that I was actually holding my breath till the car was out of sight. Phew!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
STINKY AUNTY

Occassionally, my brain stopped thinking abruptly due to this disgusting sweat smell/body odour that somehow wafted to my nose.

@.@

Uwek!!!

I prayed for my poor self not to vomit right then and there in the bus. *shivers*

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
NOISY KIDS

When it's around 7 PM, the two damn kids in the bus suddenly became hyper-active and started singing and shouting in those weird dialects of theirs (bumis). At one point, it became so loud that I literally had to hold myself from scolding them. Their stupid parents didn't say jackshit about their unreasonable behavior even when their kids are actually disturbing other passengers from resting. Wei, it's dark already and ppl tends to doze off in the bus you know? Have some manners lar you blardy bastard of a jerk asshole parents! WTF is your brains goddamn it?! Cheebye stupid parents who only know how to make children but dunno how to teach nor discipline them! Farking retards! Ptuiii!!!!!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
MOTHER'S DAYS SONGS

Those Chinese oldies songs singing praises and paying tributes to mothers all over the world. They are so touching that I nearly cried in the bus. Ma-deh. Really lost face if I did that. Later on everybody will think I'm siao or something. Haiya!

But hor, it makes me glad and full with gratitude that I have a mum. And a loving caring one at that. One that makes the home homey and cook lots of awesome-heartbreaking-delicious-homey food food! I luv you mum!!! *hugs*

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
STARRY SKIES

One of the thing I love about Sarikei is its endless skies of stars. Almost every night without fail (unless its extremely cloudy), you'd see stars stretched across the sky. As far as your eyes can see. It's breathtaking. One of the reason I can stay awake whole night during the bus ride home to Kuching is because of the time I spent gazing at the stars. I can look at them for hours and hours. Until my neck can't stand it. Only then I stop.

I wish I could take pictures of them. Sometimes I think to myself. I want to get a bf who can spend hours and hours star gazing with me. But in this time and day? A guy like that? Yeah right. In your dream lor.

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
NIGHT ORCHESTRA

Sarikei is full of insects. From the Bus Terminal all the way to my home here, I can hear the sounds of frogs, crickets and cicadas. They filled the night air with such loudness and clarity it's kinda annoying. I so hate them. Ugh!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
EMPTY & QUIET HOUSE

That's it. I came back to an empty house. Quiet too. My house owner and his wife weren't home and so it was a silent welcome. -___-'' I'm so not thrilled to be back here. What a direct opposite compared to me going back home to Kuching. *sigh*

The End liaooo. Comments are welcomed. Questions too. I'm bored. Humor me. Puleezzzzz.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Yo mum,

This shall be short and perhaps no mushy mushy stuffs. If you want me to write mushy things that makes you shed tears and cry in happiness, I guess I never have such talent in me. Even if I did, it may take me several days of writing and cracking my measly brain silly! In that case, you're safe. Hahaha.

But really, you're one great Mum. I never wanted anybody else to be my mum but you. If I could turn back time, I'll still go all the way into your 'stomach', waiting to be delivered on that one fateful day. Hohoho.

I am who I am today because of your teachings. (Minus my bad habit of cussing ^^;;) I stand tall and am not afraid to say that I'm your daughter because I know that makes you proud. I say what I need to say and do what I need to do. I never back down unnecessarily and I'll always take care of you.

So please lar, just...
  • Eat whatever we buy for you to eat
  • Wear whatever we buy for you to wear
  • Accept whatever amount of money we give you to spend or keep or just do whatever you want with them lar
  • Go wherever we bring you
  • Enjoy whatever it is that we'd planned for you
... cuz that's our (me and my sis) way of pampering you ok! You mah eat, enjoy and dun worry about $$$ or how troublesome it is for us to do what we did lor. It's only for you that we're willing to go through all the trouble to do what we did ok. Better still, make request lar, tell us what you wanna eat lar. Whatever. No need paiseh, no need help me save money lar or all those crap lar. (Just dun tell me to get married soon soon ok cuz I can't do that. And no, dun ask me to wear nice nice girly stuffs with make ups and get a bf quick cause I can't do that either.) Other than that, anything else is fine lor.

Last but not least, I'm sorry for all the arguments we had over the years. I'm sorry if I'd hurt you and made you cry. I'm sorry if I made you sad. I know I'm one bad girl. And I know you'd forgive me wan.

Am I right or not, lau bu?

Keh keh keh. I see that smile liao! =^_____^=

And hor, no mother's day greetings shall be complete without saying thank yous and the 3 magic words.

Thank you for being my mum.
Thank you for always being there for me.
Thank you for bringing me into this world.
Thank you for raising me up.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for everything.
I luv you lau bu!!!

And...

^-^ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY lau bu!!!

Ok. This has dragged on for more than I intended. I better end now and go packing.

Oh yeah. To all mummies out there. Happy Mother's Day too. *muaks*

Wet day

Uh. It's raining as I'm typing this. It's half past noon now and it's raining and I still haven't packed. I'm going to pack and I bet I can finish packing in less than 10 mins flat. Hehehe

I'll post comments tonight once I reached Sarikei and comfortably settled (meaning I've bathed, taken dinner and cleared all the stuffs away). And also more posts. There's been something I've been wanting to write in a while but I never get to it. Hopefully I'll be able to spew them out tonite.

My limbs feel heavy though. Always dread going back to Sarikei. T_T

Oh well. No use complaining right? I better start packing now. If I'm done early, then I'd have extra time to nap for a while. Own bed and pillows are the best I tell you! So homey!!!

Huhuhu...

New spec!

I got my new spec! Wheeeee!!!! My skin allergy has healed (Thank GOD!!!) and now I'm wearing a new spec. The spare spec of mine goes back to where it belongs - being a spare.

The shocking thing I found when I visited the Optometrist (is that how you spell it?) here is that my skin infection/allergy was actually caused by the steel frame of my spare spec! He told me that the spare spec that I was wearing actually has nickel on it and that's the culprit that causes skin rashes. When left untreated, it will worsen and eventually produce pus. Eeee. Scarry!

He recommended me to use the plastic type of frame. Upon closer inspection though, the frame's not really plastic made. It's still framed by steel COVERED with plastic in order to prevent skin allergies. Phew!

I'm wearing it now and it's good. So glad to be able to see properly again! It's a nightmare seeing everything blur blur you know. So depressing! Haha

Niamah! Blind stupid driver!

Warning : This post is full of cussing and ill-wishes. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

I'm in a bloody foul mood right now.

Just came back and my mum already summoned me downstairs to have a look at our Avanza.

Mum : Look at that! *points at the rear left bumper of our Avanza*

*There were several deep ugly lines of scratches at the said spot. My Avanza's blue paint was scraped off and in its place was ugly deep stretches of grayish white. Can even see the metal color underneath. Tiu!*

Me : *gasp* OMG WTF KNNCCB!!!! WHO THE FUCK DID THIS?
Mum : Did you knock into anything when driving just now?
Me : *greatly insulted* You dunno how I drive meh? I've never knocked the car all my life of driving ok! Just now did you notice me knocking into anything or not? *pissed*
Mum : Hmm. Then must have gotten it while we parked at the parking space there lor.
Me : *scrutinized the damages* Oh! It's that fucking stupid Kelisa lady driver who parked to the left of our car izzit?
Mum : Yes!
Me : Ma-deh! I did re-reverse and reparked our car further away from her car! There was a gap of like 3 feet (close to 1 metre) in between our car! Ma-deh! Like that also can knock meh? Such a huge gap!
Mum : She doesn't seem skilled enough to notice that. She might have knocked our car while reversing and turning her car.
Me : Grrrr... *body temperature shoots up, blood set to boil* Like that also can? Wtf did she get her driving license? Macipet her eyes must be stucked all the way up her asshole or something!
Mum : Choy! Dun cuss ppl like that ar. Not good you know!
Me : So what do you want me to say? Wah! So pandai ar? Like that also can knock ar? I wonder who passed her driving license hor? Her father ar?
Mum : Wei, dun talk bad bad of other people lar.
Me : Ma-deh. She knocked into our car liao you still prevent me from cussing her. She so bloody deserves it! I hope her whole family gets involved in accident or some gila people just set her bloody car on fire or that her car is vandalized tonite!
Mum : Wei. Told you to stop cussing liao! Not good you know! Haiya!
Me : *smoke comes out from my ears liao*

I'm fuming. Some fucking retard knocked into my Avanza's left rear bumper when reversing out from the parking lots. My digicam battery flat and I didn't take my charger back with me so no pics for this post. But boy am I pissed! The car color coincides with the color of the blasted Kelisa as well. When parking just now, my mum noticed the way she drove and so requested me to repark our car further away from her. But still...

So damn TU-LAN! Grrr...

To that blardy stooopid lady driver :

I wish you get whatever you did to my car today a thousand folds! You one cheebye blind macipet KNNCCB lanciao bin! I hope you crashed tonite and died on the spot! PUI!!!!

SEE CHAR BOR WHO GROWS UP EATING SHIT AND SHITTING RICE!!! MA-DEH! SO DAMN TU-LAN!!!!!

p/s : I feel sorry for my mum. After all of her wasted efforts trying to prevent me from cussing the damn culprit, I retreated to cussing in my blog. *sigh* At least it's in writing and not verbally. Should be better gua. But still...

BITCH!!!!!!!! DAMN KAO TU-LAN-NYE!!!!!!!! GRRRR...

packing to go home home! ^-^

GOOD MORNING!!! RISE AND SHINE PEOPLE IT'S FRIDAY!!! WOO-HOO!!!!

I woke up at 5:30 AM just now with every intention to pack my stuffs. I applied leave today to go back to Kuching. I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few nights and I miss my nice comfy fluffy bed and pillows back in Kuching. *sigh*

I'm gonna follow Mr. Bear's car today. Mr. Bee is tagging along too. That's good ya know. They are both very good travelling companions. ^_____^

I hate travelling with Mousie. Can get stroke anytime one. The stress level normally tripples up and atmosphere turns very sour one. At times like that, I was so glad that I have a pda. It's my saviour I tell you!!! I watched movies till its battery went almost flat and then switched to listening songs using my hp whenever I'm travelling with him. I never want to travel with him, EVER! Like going to grave with a stranger visiting a stranger. Try and imagine that. Scarry hor? *shudders*

Anyway, I'm actually quite confused right now and I'm seeking home's comfort to help sort things out. Neh. It's that job offer lor. I'm in a dilemma right now. To take or reject? If take then mah hafta decide what to nego for and how to close the deal. But then is that a right decision? To take the job? Would it be better than my current job? It's hard to tell you know. Then, if I didn't take it, did I just missed a good job? A good chance? Just like that? Aiyoh! Kepala pusing lar like this!

If reject how to reject hor? I can't afford to offend SC you know. He's a very influential person. I don't wanna burn my bridges with him. Aiyoh. How lor. My mind is a mess right now. Haywire liaooo.

Packing soothes me greatly. At least, it's something that I do on frequent basis and it feels... what to call that. Homey? Haha. Anyway, you get the meaning lar. I feel like everything is under control when I'm packing cuz I know which part to sort and which part not to. And the exact place to put them. It's the sense of familiarity that soothes me. I wish life is like packing. Can be sorted out as easily as that.

But hor, even luggages were stolen and at times, was even ripped apart and heavily damaged when the person in charge didnt handle your luggage properly. In short, no matter how hard you try, your plans may still be disrupted by external forces ya know. Things that you have no control of whatsoever.

I really need to think things through when I get home. I have been so restless ever since SC called me about the job offer. *SIGH*

Now, I needa pack. Then surf. Or sleep.

And minna-san! Thanks for all your comments and supports. Appreciate it very very much. Domo arigato gozaimasta! *bows low low*

Does age matter?

Aunty called again just now. 5 mins after my office hour was over.

Me : Arlow?
Aunty : Eh, you free right now?
Me : -___-'' (Oh no not again?!!!!) Why?
Aunty : Hehehe. Can come lim teh right now?
Me : NOW???!!
Aunty : It's a bit abrupt hor? I mean you must be tired, need to rest and bath and all that.
Me : Yes. It's veeeeery abrupt. And I'm very tired. Is it the same guy?
Aunty : Yeah. Same. Did he msg you that day?
Me : Nope.
Aunty : Oh... did he call?
Me : Not at all. Look, what's the hurry? (you see, I was a bit bit annoyed by now already)
Aunty : Ahahaha... maybe he's eager to get a wife. Hohoho... Wanna see you mar.
Me : How OLD is he?
Aunty : He's a monkey (Chinese people uses animal zodiac to tell the age without actually embarrassing either party. It's easy to calculate too. Since he's a monkey, he's younger than me by one year)
Me : .... *paused* ... He's yoooungeeeerrr than me.
Aunty : *shocked* *silence* Is he? What's your zodiac?
Me : Sheep. Baa baa baa (Now you know how old I am anot? Tsk...)
Aunty : Oh! You're right. He is younger!
Me : He is. If he's eager to see me, just tell him I'm fat fat, short short lar. See what he says.
Aunty : *silence* Oh hohoho... I'll arrange the time and then confirm with them lar. Ok?
Me : *sigh* Ok. (whatever... grrr..)
Aunty : You free tomorrow morning? Let's have breakfast together?
Me : I'm going back to Kuching tomorrow.
Aunty : When do you come back? Sunday? How about Monday? We have dinner together ok?
Me : I'm going to Sibu on Monday.
Aunty : Wah! You travel so much?
Me : *grits teeth* Yes. I do. (you choy meh? *sigh*)
Aunty : Hehe. Nevermind nevermind. I'll contact you again.
Me : Ok. Thanks. Bai.

I'm a bit annoyed. And my Aunty didn't even realize how old I was. That's probably cuz I look younger than my age.

*sigh*

Then, I had this conversation with my friend.

Me : He's younger than me lar
Fren : Younger by how young?
Me : 1 yr old
Fren : Do you mind? About the age?
Me : Quite lor
Fren : But only a year, and you look young you know. So ppl can't tell even if you're really older than him. And you'll definitely look younger than him even though you're older
Me : Ar?? ... Ok. How old do I actually look? Honestly
Fren : 20
Me : WHAT?! Really? You're not pulling my leg?!
Fren : Eh seriously la
Me : Ooo...

So, does age matter? Really matter? I'm torn. Really.

What should I do? Help!!!!!

blind without glasses!

Me home home liao. Drenched with sweat and feel so "blind" walking and driving around town without wearing my glasses. Huhuhu...

I didn't even notice the big fat bird by the road side until I nearly ran it over. That's when I saw it scrambling and running for its dear life. Poor thing...

I hope that allergic patch next to my right eye heals up quick quick. Otherwise, I can't wear my glasses ler... It'll just worsen it. (T_T)

Perodua Viva launching today!

OHAIYO minna san! Genki desu ka? (translate : Good morning everybody! How are you?)

*Big grin*

Quick quick wakey wakey! It's Thursday people! And it's 10th May today!

*remembers something*

Hey! Perodua Viva is launching today. It's a replacement model for Kancil and Kelisa. There are 660cc, 850cc and 1000cc categories. If I remember correctly. I'm really curious and eager to know what it looks like. FYI, I've been wanting to buy a car for quite some time already. But I can't really decide and since it's morning and I've just woken up and need to get ready for work I can't blog too long and too much about this as well. I'll just have to continue when I get back home tonite.

Be patient ya. Wait ya. Guai ya...

Hn. On 2nd thought, where is Sarikei's perodua showroom hor? Does it even has one?

*scratches head and think hard hard*

Dun think I've seen it. Hafta ask around later on.

That's all I can spew out at the moment. Stay tuned. More post(s) coming up tonite.

Have a nice day minna!

*waves hand*

One day in my life - CRAZY DAY!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
MY BLOG FEATURED ON 5XMOM'S BLOG!!!

OMG! Today's soooo crazy! I had trouble sleeping last nite and woke up VERY late this morning (at 7.40 AM and work starts at 8 AM!!!!!) just to find this! My stubborn eyes straightaway opened wide wide and yupe. I was WIDE AWAKE.

That was such a great wake up call. Muahahaha. Out of nowhere, endless of energy kept pouring into my being. I was fully charged! So happy to just have 5xmom writing that, with my name and blog addy inside. Wah. Tenkiu so very much 5xmom! It's an honor! For me. Really. =^_______^= Feels like advertisement lar wei. Hidung kembang kempis wor. Waseh! Feels so dang good. Today my nose also feels higher instead of its normal penyet penyet short short ugly self. And the ceiling looks lower than usual. Wakakaka. Uh...

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
LATE LATE LATE

*looked at the time* ---> 7.50 AM

What?!!!!! OMG I'm gonna be so damn late!!!!

With only 10 minutes to get ready for work, I quickly rushed through everything. Brushed teeth, washed face, pansai panjio (translate : means shit and pee in hokkien), changed clothes, dumped my Lappy, adapter, charger, handphones, car keys, house keys and wallet into my backpack, then scrambled for my safety helmet, safety jacket, wore my socks and safety shoes, carried everything threw them into my car and sped all the way to work like a siao jar boh (translate : crazy gal).

Left home at 8.04 AM, reached office before 8.10 AM. Niceee.

FYI, my office is very near my house. My site too. *2 thumbs up* Supah nice yo!

Walked into the office feeling so light and the moment I sat down, something just felt so wrong.

What was that?

It took me a while to figure that out. My eyes! Bit bit puffy and slightly grayish in color. Like panda eyes! OMG I never had that before even if I stayed awake for 3 days and nights straight! Why today?!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
MEETING

Within 10 minutes of sitting in the office I learned that we had meeting with Client at 9 AM.

O.o Oh dear, it's a miserable day I tell you. Meeting with client so early in the morning. I shoulda bring my bullet proof jacket instead of my safety jacket. Ma-deh.

Dragged my feet miserably to Client's office. But upon reaching there hor, I walked like the big big important boss into the building. As if I own the building. Muahahaha. You think that's snobbish? Nope. That's called stood to your ground. Be sure of what you're doing. Hold yourself high and stood by it even when volcanoes erupt and skies came tumbling down. Have pride and high esteem in your own being. Even if you make mistakes, it's not the end of the world ok. Life goes on. Nobody's perfect.

The meeting was over in a flash. Mr. Mousie was so nervous that he called in the whole gang of peps from our side. Ma-deh. Like a mouse calling 100 of its friends out to surround a giant cat for the last brave fight over. Do you think the cat's gonna shudder at the sight of 100 mice surrounding it? Far from it. I bet it'll be grinning from ear to ear. Such a feast! Uwah.

*rubs cat paws together*

*ties napkin around neck*

*reaches for fork and knife*

*feral grin*

PARTY TIME!

JOB OFFER

On the way back to my office from Client's office, I got a call from my ex-boss SC. He's asking me to join him again. This time, he wants me to resign within 24 hours and joins him straight tomorrow!

He's bloody serious. I'm bloody shocked.

He wants me to agree on the spot. I refused to. Grrr. This is my career we're talking about. What's so easy to resign. I worked half dead to get where I am right now you know.

Told him I need time to consider. He was disappointed. I hope he won't give up just yet. If it's really good then I'll take the offer. Right? If it's not and I take it then I'm so gonna kill myself over and over and over again.

SITE SITE SITE

Reached site and noticed that there were many animals there. It's... complicated. The best illustration I can give you is this : Imagine a tiny white bunny hopping its way into a garden packed with a tiger, a bear, a poisonous frog, a bee, a mouse, a hippopotamus, a snake, a pig, a cicak.... and many more.

Now tiger and bear are dangerous ok. But they don't cincai attack wei. I'm ok with them. Poisonous frog too. Froggy is, up to now still ok. Mr. Bee is nice to everybody cuz everybody's a flower mar. The mouse and hippopotamus are plain annoying. Sir hippo always wanna brag and blow hot air baloon. Mouse ler always wanna show off but scared kena attack by the rest of the animals. Snake always wanna ular lor so very sien. The cicak very kaypoh one always report here and there. The pig is just like a pig lor. Oink oink here and oink oink there. But hor, mouse very good with pig wor. Snake very good with hippopotamus wor.

How about the bunny? The bunny is very good with the tiger, bear, frog and bee. Only so so with mouse, pig and cicak. Had very bad impression on both the snake and hippopotamus. Nearly hired hunters to shoot them down. Really!

Do you get the story? Muahahaha. Told ya it's complicated!

PART-TIME LECTURER

Anyway, besides that, I became sorta a part-time Lecturer bringing two new trainees around the site for a briefing. One of them is a QS (young guy) and the other is a Civil Engineer (young gal). Like me. Except that each time she speaks, I literally cringed. Dun like her voice. It's like this high pitched squeak. Euuuuu!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
LUNCH

I'll be honest here and tell you this. The best thing going out to lunch is to go with middle aged VERY EXPERIENCED people. Those who has been to all sorts of places and meet all types of people and experienced anything that your measly brain can think of. They are SO ENTERTAINING I tell you!

I love listening to their stories of other countries. Of tribesmen. Their cultures. Their food. Their hunting and surviving skills. Their superb intelligence.

I enjoy their company so much cuz they really know when to switch off the "work" button. They talk about everything and anything but work. It's such a great relief. With them, you really get to know them. Their fav food, outings, hobbies. It shows very clearly on their face. The passion they exhibited when they talk about their beloved hobbies. Fascinating I tell you!

And while watching them chattering ever so excitedly like a bunch of teenage boys going out on their first outing, it makes me realize how very much human they really are. Underneath all those hard layered shell that they'd built with such pain and hard work lies a human being.

I'm relieved! Hahaha! It's good to know that you're not spending so much time with total robots that has no feelings.

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
LETTER DRAFTING

Ma-deh! Why does Mousie always ask me to draft SUCH difficult letters?! Cheebye. Damn tu-lan. Sometimes I wish I'm English handicapped. Pui!!!!!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
SUFFERINGS - SKIN ALLERGY

Sien liao. Remember my spare spec/glasses? Well it's incompatible with my skin. The part where it comes into contact with the metal frame of the glasses is allergic to the paint. Since I sweat a lot at site, the allergy worsen and now it has festered till producing pus. Damn. Hafta go to the pharmacy to buy ointment. Such a waste of money. *sigh*

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
PHARMACY

Went straight to Pharmacy to buy the much needed ointment. Applied it already once I get back home and after taking my bath. Was told not to wear glasses for several days. I'm typing without glasses. Such a pain in the ass! So difficult! Aiyoh!

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
KFC

Had KFC for dinner. Nothing special to write home about.

'......'

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
BLOGGING

Yeah. That's what I'm doing now. After coming home from dinner, took a bath, settled everything and then started surfing and reading blogs and blogging and posting comments. I'm so tired. I'll realy try to sleep earlier tonite. And hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep.

*looks back*

It's a crazy day indeed. Ugh. How I wish it'll rain as heavily as possible. It's so hot! *sigh*

matchmaking - a nightmare in the making?

GUIDELINES : stars denotes actions, italics denotes inner thoughts.

*mobile phone rings*

Me : Arlow?
Aunty : xxxx? You free or not?
Me : Why?
Aunty : Aaa... wanna talk to you lor.
Me : About wat?
Aunty : Remember the guy I told you about?
Me : ...
Aunty : The one I arranged for you to meet oneee...
Me : Oh... (you arranged more than one lar eeeeee I dun even know which one you're talking about)
Aunty : Well, he asked for your handphone number. Can give or not?
Me : Why?
Aunty : He said paiseh to meet straight away like that wor. With his mum and me around the two of you may not have much to say wor. So chat through phone okay or not?
Me : Message first lar. (paiseh to talk? What does he wanna talk about? Sex? Ptui!)
Aunty : Message?
Me : Sms. If ok, then chat through phone. If ok still, then meet. Simple enough right?
Aunty : Oh. That's good too. Make friends first ya.
Me : Yeah *very sweetly and politely* (of coz lar, there's no marriage at first sight lar -_-'')
Aunty : Actually like this. His Aunty asked for the place you work at. She wanna go see look see look first.
Me : HUH?! WHAT?!! (wah! You think I'm a merchandise ar? Can view first before deciding to buy ar? Biar betul! Cilaka punya lau-char-boh. See ah mu!)
Aunty : I didn't tell her lar. Not fair for you mar. So the guy suggested to chat through phone first.
Me : Oh I see. (Phew! But cilaka all the same lar. Either way, the guy just wanna see whether I'm pretty or not lar. If cannot see, then at least hear my voice and judge from there lar? Nabeh see tak poh!)
Aunty : So you agree or not?
Me : I prefer sms. And please tell him to identify himself. I don't take anonymous or hidden caller ids. And I never reply if I'm sure I dunno the sender of the msgs. I'm not that cincai ok.
Aunty : So I give him your phone number oh?
Me : -____-'' ok

*2 minutes later*

*mobile phone rings*

*looks at number*

Guess what? It's a local phone number. Not a handphone/mobile phone number. Sure enough his intention is to listen to my voice. I'm really very sien with guys like that. If wanna see mah meet lor. If wanna hear my voice mah meet lor. Why so po-mah and lo-soh like that. Plain stupid. Waste of time and money. I didn't answer the call. Rings only twice and then total silence.

I personally know quite a handful of guys who has the same calling habits. Rings twice then stop. Ma-deh. As if I have nothing better to do but wait for your phone calls at all times? You can wait till the moon turns blue in color ok!

My friends always ask me : Val, get a bf quick quick liao. What kind of guys are you interested in anyway? Nobody kao you meh?

Get bf quick quick? Ma-deh. You think get bf like buying sayur at the market ar? Kao me? Got. I'm not THAT ugly ok. But no spark mar. I don't wanna play with their feelings mar. If no feel, mah tell them early early no feel lor. Better heart broken awal-awal than heart broken at the very end of the road right? It hurts less and its for their own good. I'm not materialistic and I won't wear them down asking for expensive gifts and food. Although I'll get them if I really teh them. Wei! I also know how to teh one ok?

My answer to the type of guys that I like? Honest, sincere and understanding guys. Knowledgeable types attracts me the most. But not the snobbish types lar. No hanky panky. No beating around the bushes. And definitely not those clowns who cracks senseless no-meaning jokes at all times (even when the timing sucks) and degrade themselves further. AND definitely no ah guas!!!! I'll slap them first and then speed away and pray I'll never see them again for the rest of my life! Muahahaha!

On 2nd thought, I hope this guy does not belong to any of those groups. *sigh*

Otherwise? It shall be another nightmare in the making. Don't you agree? *sigh*

Burn that fat! - A Total Failure

Ok people. Here's the announcement. Remember the project I told you about two months ago? Neh, the one about losing weight ar. 8kgs ler. Read here if you can't remember.

Tuesday, March 6, 2007
Burn that fat!

PROJECT NO. 1

Gosh I'm so fat already!!! I'm overweight by 8kgs and I really need to shed those weight! But my fragile right foot put a partial halt to that. Hope I can heal faster than usual to get on with my plan to lose weight. In the meantime, I'll start by screening what I consume. Once I could put more strain on my right foot, I'll follow suit with exercise. This is going to be one big project of the year for me. Seriously considering eating veges only but still haven't decide yet. Should I try that? I'm not sure. I'm currently eating only 2 meals per day and gradually changing my diet to contain 50% fruit. Let's give this project a 2 months period. We'll see how I fare then. Lol...

Start date : 6 March 2007
End date : 6 May 2007
Intended weight to shed : 8 kgs

Psst... sorry ar can't tell you how much I weight otherwise I think you'll all fall outta your chair. I promise to be honest and as just as I could. Hehe.
Well, here's the verdict.

PROJECT NO. 1 - BURN THAT FAT! ---> READS TOTAL FAILURE. SAAT-PAI. SOEY JO! TIAO HAI. MA-DEH!

For the first time in my entire life, I failed ever so grandly in my lose weight campaign. And added several more kgs on top of that! Wah piang eh! Somebody quick quick go get your slipper and smack my cheek hard hard. Both sides please. And then get your baseball bat and beat the living daylights out of my head!

I'm bloody depressed now. Somebody donate me tali gantung so I can go hang myself. Or somebody sponsor me drugs/alcohol or anything for me to wash away my deep agonizing sorrow. I so need your help and support brader!

*wails non-stop*

lousy me

I'm beat. Really amu already. Whatever stamina I had years ago had somehow vanished into thin air. I feel so tired, it's like all my limbs are starting to disintegrate by themselves.

I feel sooo useless. Aaaarrrggghhh!!! It's only the second day. Full swing work two days continuously and I'm beat. I've grown rusty over the past few months. I'm sooo ashamed of myself.

You DO know the feelings when realization hits you and it hits you hard? Like square on your face?

Man, it feels awful... and I'm feeling that way now. Not a good feeling. At all.

Hn. This is another self pity episode of mine. Ugly. Degrading. Such disgrace.

Not to mention that I've lost shape, slapped on an extra 20+ kgs and having developed a face that's similar to Doraemon.

Loser.

Fei-poh (fat lady).

Sien. Hrrrmmmph. *Broods*

Disgusting Creatures called Spiders

Came across this goddamn creepy euuuuuuu story at cnn. This reminds me of a SCARY EXPERIENCE of mine which happened after I came back from UK in year 2003.

You're so NOT gonna believe this. If the two spiders in Jesse Courtney's left ear were both about the size of pencil eraser, mine was about the size of Malaysia's 20 cents coin.

For the Malaysians who are reading this : You can close your mouth now, thank you.
For all non-Malaysians : Go google up and find out how big is a Malaysia's 20 cents coin.

And instead of left ear, it's my right ear. It's nightmare I tell you. I woke up feeling like my right head is much much more heavier. Slightly tilted to the right okay. And my right ear felt numb. So I poked my pinky into it and I felt something scrambling further in!!!

I was totally frozen stiff I tell you. Celaka. Imagine something huge INSIDE your ear. MOVING INSIDE!

I didn't know it was a spider. But I knew something was inside. And I woke up in the middle of the night too, so there were no sane doctors to see at all. I switched on my table lamp, shone it into my right ear, and within 2 seconds, the blasted creature dashed out from my ear. Right now, I can still remember VIVIDLY how it clings to my right ear lobe and jumped to the floor. My room was carpeted and I could hear the 'thump' as the cheebye spider landed on it. Wah seh! I was so pissed, I hunted the damn thing for one half hour before I finally found it and squashed it flat flat by using rolled up newspapers.

You wonder how I found it? I switched on every light in my room and used torchlight to search for it. Spiders hate light mar. They like it dark dark mar.

I wasn't about to go to sleep with THAT thing roaming around in my room. It'll just crawl its way into my ear again you know.

Few days after that, I suddenly got this CRAZY idea that the damn spider was actually planning to lay eggs in my right ear. I mean of all the nooks and cranny, why go into my right ear right? So I dashed all the way to my family Doctor's clinic and begged him to do a thorough checkup of my right ear to make sure that there wasn't ANY spider eggs in it.

Can you imagine tiny baby spiders hatching inside your ear and then climbed all the way out and making themselves homey? I mean inside your ear? Euuuuuu!

FCUK! I so goddamn HATE SPIDERS!

My family Doc laughed himself silly and said that I was just being paranoid. Which lead me to demand for an explanation from him.

Doc : Do you clean your ears often?
Me : Yes. Why?
Doc : Ah. That could be a problem. See? Your ear canal is way too clean. Mrs.xxx, please come and take a look at your daughter's ear. See? No taik telinga at all. It doesn't look like an ear's canal. So the little spider might have mistaken it for a nice clean little hole for it to stay.
Me : O.o (KNNCCB. Like that also can? Tiu!!!)

The thing is : Spiders SOMEHOW likes me. I'll tell you sometime in the future about the huge spider (reads Golf ball size) that crawls from my shoulder all the way to the tip of my finger when I was sleeping in my bed in UK. KNNCCB! I was scared shitless! Ma-deh!

Can any genius out there tell me why spiders like me? I hate them so much! Peiiii!!!!! My family Doctor just smiled when I asked him why. TU-LAN!!!

can't sleep

I think I said it too early in my previous post. WAY TOO EARLY. Cilaka. So sial one I tell you.
I want everyday to be like this. I bet I won't have any problem sleeping at night.
Wah piang eh! Now I can't sleep. Die lor like this. Really hafta count sheeps meh? Sien liao!

Best Monday ever!

Today is the best Monday I have ever had in a long long time.

I worked myself silly and the strange thing was that it actually feels good.

Today, I truly felt like I've accomplished so many things in one day.

I was so busy that I really forgot to think about myself and for once just concentrate on the damn works.

Maybe I should stop thinking about myself so that I can bask myself in those good feelings.

Maybe it's time I stop worrying about my health and career and finance and just live what life has to offer me.

Gosh!!! I feel so tired I may collapse anytime soon!

Imagine standing under the heat of the sun whole day through, (with slightly painful and not properly healed fractured right foot) walking all over the site, checking out the work progress, taking pictures, rushing in and out of office like it's a toilet for you to pansai and then come back home totally feeling like a sotong. Ya know? Lembut like sotong ar. No tulang belakang (translate : backbone) one ar. Kaki lemah mau jatuh already ar.

Waseh. That feels so good. I know many of you may think of me as crazy but really, it's the feeling of accomplishments that got me into such high mood. It's ecstatic I tell you!

I want everyday to be like this. I bet I won't have any problem sleeping at night.

But then, on 2nd thought, if everyday is like that then I'm gonna really start dreading it. HAHAHA.

Conclusion : Let Monday always be Monday. If everyday is a Monday, I think poor Garfield will bang his head to the wall many a times over. LOL!

Prawns prawns prawns!

Last few days when I was home in Kuching, I suddenly mengidam to eat prawns lor. Lotsa prawns. So I requested my mum to cook prawn ar. Special request ar. Being the good loving mum she is, she went straight away on a prawn hunting mission. I'm the driver off course. We went to Hui Sing community centre and spotted this guy selling prawns at the back of the kopitiam. Or by the road side. Whatever lar. The point is, we got the prawns. See?!


He only sells two types of prawns. The huge ones and the slightly smaller ones. Expensive ooo. At least I think it's expensive lar. I dunno prawn price lar. Big ones costs RM35 per kg. Small ones RM25 per kg. My mum bought the BIG ones. 2 kgs.

My saliva went drip drip drip when I saw the prawns wor. Lau nuar liao. Me very tham jiak one. Beh tahan wor.

Uwah! Huge hor. I think it's huge lor. Aiyoh. Can't wait for mummy to cook it!!!

Nyah!!!! It's cooked! It's cooked! Eat this with any white rice and you'll be happy! Really!

But hor, if you eat your prawn prawn together with this specially pounded chili & garlic AND white rice, it's heaven! Kyahhh!!!!

FYI, that's my lunch and dinner ya know. YES! I tapao them ALL THE WAY FROM KUCHING! Got this special chop and stamp there that's written : With luv from Mum.

Are you envious? Good. My point is to make you envious. Muahahaha
