Weirdoes at work
1. Mr Tight Pants
Not only his pants are super tight until he can’t walk properly but he is utterly dumb too. T said he has a stupid face but I found out that he IS indeed stupid. He has taken an interest in V, who is obviously married (from the wedding string she wears and the red pottu on her forehead). Heck, she is even pregnant! Yet, after she rejected his lunch invites by giving hints that her husband and MIL prepares lunch for her, one fine day he asked if she has a boyfriend. Oh.My.God. What the hell is wrong with this man?? How bloody stupid can he be? And now he continues to walk kangkang + tempang, cos his pants are so tight.
2. Mr Solar Drink
This man has the most annoying laughter, kak kak kak in a high pitch. Even T said that we just have to endure his laughter now that we sit in the same area. I noticed that he likes to place his mug of drink at the window sill. He walks past, takes a sip, then goes off. On the way back, take a sip again and back to his place, which is nowhere near the window. Trying to activate some ingredients inside the drink?
3. Psycho
A part-timer data entry boy that looks up from his PC whenever anyone passes by. He looks up from his PC and stare until we go out of sight. And on the way back, he has to look up and stare again. I stared back at him from the corner of my eye a couple of times, didn’t work. So I gave him a stupid smile one day, doesn't seem to have much effect too. So I reverted to the staring back at him and I think he got it, cos now he only looks up and then looks back down again. Haha, V even asked him one day, “Apa??” to which Psycho didn’t respond cos he is well, psycho. Annoying thing is that he looks down, but when I walk off I know he looks back up again, so I turned my head and stare at him. Sometimes he looks at your face, then lowers his gaze to your crotch level. Bloody fool. One day V saw him bending his head trying to see a girl’s watch at Sentral. Ain’t he weird? He freaked the girl out and she finally scolded him that there are many boards flashing the time. Stupid.
4. Ms Rich and Upper Class
Super rich that she leaves her car for valet parking if she drives out for lunch and returns. Apparently shops twice a week at Banana Republic. Ok fine but she asked V who was munching some peanuts, “Don’t eat that! Do you know how much calories there are?” and then “Are you not on a diet?” and asked her to take care of herself after marriage. When she found out that V is actually pregnant, she said sorry. Who the hell does she think she is to be speaking like that? Well, she is one who purposely wears high-waist skirts so that she can’t eat much and she only eats a few mouthful/takes a few sips of each meal/drink.
5. Ms Korean Born in US
Being able to speak Korean doesn't mean you have to be a Korean. You don't have to speak it at every single opportunity, you don't have to eat Korean food at the food court to show-off, you don't have to listen to Korean songs and you don't have to tell me the Korean name of the food when I ask what’s she eating, for I finally answered you ‘It’s kuey tiao la right?” And no, being born in US doesn't mean that you will become a US citizen if you go there to study hahaha! And it’s not such a big thing being born there. You don't have to add that ‘vital’ information when you introduce yourself to strangers lol! Despite being supposedly Westernised and welcoming other cultures, you are some sort of religious extremist who want to impose your whatever beliefs on me. Now take your beliefs and fuck off!! I will never forgive you for denting my holiday.
And then there is the new enthusiastic girl who likes to skip around the office, that T asked one day “Can you not be so excited?”. There’s the other newbie big girl whose voice, T said, doesn't befit her size. These 2 new girls wanted to give their team a treat after they got confirmed (*roll eyes*) and wanted to go to Madam Kwan. T said it’s not necessary, so they went to Kenny Rogers instead. Before everyone ordered, they announced that they actually have a budget to stick to. Hello, then what was that Madam Kwan? And then the big girl ordered half a chicken for herself. Laugh la, I almost finished half a chicken at Logenhaus that day too bwahaha! But that big girl keeps drinking the company milk from the fridge wan :D
And the one that I just noticed today, we have an Adam Lambert too. Tight jeans that are really fitting, they look like leggings. And he wore a jacket today with button badges on them. Whaddaya want from me? So whaddaya want from me?
Ever since we moved to our new seating area, I’ve become more observant, due to the increased exposure to strange characters.

One of my The Star pics and others
Sunday, February 14, 2010
All sorts of people
Boy, this woman can really nag. A colleague of mine, there is just so much negativity about her. A simple thing can elicit hours of complaints, both verbally and worse, MSN. For eg, our only male team member enjoys calling people ‘psst psst’ when he wants to get your attention. He never calls you by the name. For me, I don't really bother but our friend here posted a super long FB status touching on the lack of morals, he wasn’t brought up properly yada yada.. And then she’d add 3 people to an MSN conversation and continue the complaints. Oh my Lord..
Else, it would be boredom at the office, how crazy it is to go outdoors for a wedding photo shoot cos it is hot and sweaty and there are creepy-crawlies, and how bored it is at the office again.. I don't know how come these people can chat so much despite having work to do, yet leave at 5pm.
Nope, it’s not that I’m inefficient. It’s because the way our teams work differently. They send the slides back and forth UK until the deck is completed while I don't have anyone to pick up where I left off. I’m trying to handle queries directly from Korea and volunteered to help out behind-the-scenes for the monitor (an attempt in self-justification). So don't bug me, go away!
Heck, I wasn’t expecting her to have a bf; I wonder how he can tolerate her. There is just so much negativity as soon as she opens her mouth. She makes me want to be a better person. I don't want to be a serial complainer/nagger/whiner.
2. The Colour Blind
These people really piss me off. Whiner Woman (WW) above belongs to this category too. Look, red on MSN means ‘busy’, orange is ‘away’. Any fool can read that, they don't have to be experts on MSN. In the first place, I’m already ‘busy’, why did you start talking unimportant things/complaining in the first place? And if I’m ‘away’, you nudge and nudge and nudge. What is fcuking wrong with you?
First, I am at work. So use your brains and be a little considerate. When all colour blindness fails, I go invi. And then that stupid WW asked me to be available so that she can add more people to the chat. Really fubar, beyond any any repair.
P/S There are some who are really ‘seng mok’, thank you for having that ‘seng mok-ness’.
3. The Parasite
“People can’t be parasites forever, especially when they are already in their 20s” That’s what my FB said. When this person first turned parasitic, I tried to explain to myself that it might be cos she is young and immobile. Despite having parents and a sister who can all drive, you still want to trouble me. My father isn't around any longer and my mother doesn't drive, so tell me are you invalid or what?
Now a big 20+ buffalo and still parasitic. My opinion of you has sunken to its lowest level, cos now I see that you are merely making use of people. I don't have a big sign plastered across my forehead saying ‘free taxi’. I don't know if it’s just me having that that imaginary sign in your head or everyone does. Come on, God didn’t create each and every one of us with the purpose of fulfilling one of your needs.
And if you weren't parastic enough, your sister is quite one too. A family of parasites, enough said. Do your part for society and find a saint-like husband to dilute that genes in you.
4. The Weird Philosopher
WW says that it isn't ‘financially efficient’ to get married. Instead of having a wedding dinner, she wants her husband to pay for her further education instead. She worships her mother cos she still has a good body shape despite being in her 50s, because she had opted for a C-section (so her pelvic bones wouldn’t expand and result in wide hips) and not to breastfeed her (so that her boobs wouldn’t sag). She said that if we didn’t get any paid slimming sessions from our hubbies, it would be stupid as we have given him kids. Gosh gosh gosh. I had known that she is all about money but never this.
Marriage is seen as a financial investment? Well, everyone is entitled to their (weird) opinions. And for all that slimming thing, perky boobs and slim hips, what use are they if you are ugly? Silver frame glasses with multi-coat that has peeled off is the first thing you’ll notice.
5. The Drama Director
This is a writer who writes for me. I assigned her 11 articles and she sent me 2. I asked where are the others, she said all 11 were attached in that mail. I looked high and low, none. I sent her the printscreen showing only 2 attachments and then there was no more news from her. Bloody asshole, if you wanna lie, tell a good one or just say that you don't wanna do it. Wasted a few days waiting for her to resend and finally frantically managed to do them before the deadline. As punishment, I didn’t pay her for her earlier work. Wasn’t much either, that idiot.

New Year post on all things new year
Health:
1. Drink plenty of water
Ok
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar
Oh uh, no wonder I’m so fat. I eat the other way round cos I see dinner as a reward for a good day’s work done :S
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants, and eat less food that is manufactured in plants
Nothing is mentioned on the food that FEEDS on trees and plants?
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy
Ok
5. Make time for prayer
Yes, I think I should. But not everyone ok, please
6. Play more games
Don't have PS3, cannot play :D
7. Read more books than you did in 2008
I think I can since I bought quite a number from the book fair. Eh wait, this says 2008, not 2009..
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
Whatever for, meditation and silence is not for me. I have a short attention span.
9. Sleep for 7 hours
I do, it’s just that it’s 6 hours in bed and 1 hour on the way to and fro work. So my motto would be 7 hours straight
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day ---- and while you walk, smile
Can you imagine what an utter cracko would that be to be smiling while walking? I think I do walk for 5 minutes a day through MV from one end to the other, KTM station at north court to the office at south court. So far and tiring especially when rushing for the train
Personality:
11. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
True especially if you compare yourself to those (seemingly) better off. Compare yourself to those perceived to be worse and you’ll feel very much thankful of what you have.
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
I can control, so I am entitled to have them
13. Don't over do ; keep your limits
I haven’t done my best, so I’m gonna do more
14. Don't take yourself so seriously ; no one else does
I think I’d be afraid if no one takes me seriously!
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
But gossip is fun =)
16. Dream more while you are awake
Huh? Dreams aren’t going to help you, working towards dream when you’re awake is.
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
How do you know I already have all I need? Being envious of what others have makes us work hard to achieve things. But if I were to think on the ‘easy’ end, yeah I already have all I need like family, love, a job, lots more other jobs.. don't know which way to think as people don't usually call it ‘envy’ when it comes to referring to necessities
18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness
True. Sometimes there are things that we can forgive but can’t forget but as long as the issue is resolved, then the case is closed.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
I’ve made amends with some people from school that I’ve had a fall out with (actually they approached me first, but I would have even if they hadn’t). Except for one. She never ceases to be irritating since our schooling days. In fact, she has become even more irritating when I met her a few days back! Gosh! It was irritating to the point that menjengkelkan would be most apt to describe her.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
Oh, so now I’ve gotta make peace pulak with this person? Bwahaha! Nope, it’s not going to spoil the present and I don't have anything else from the past that I can think of affecting my present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
Agreed. Every single route we take is our decision to make. Problems are also brought upon ourselves, most of the time. Or we can choose to drop those problems. It's all our choice, it's whether we want to do it or not.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Yup
23. Smile and laugh more
I realise that I’ve had some of the best laughters when hanging out with the girls. Some of the things we laugh at are pretty silly but wth, it was surely good fun and feel rejuvenated after that!
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
I’m born to win hahaha! Nah, but sometimes always being on the losing/yelled at end makes me stand up and yell back for I do have arguments/justifications and I do not everything thrown at me.
Community:
25. Call your family often
I see them everyday =)
26. Each day give something good to others
It’s hard to do this everyday but I sure want to try. One thing I could do is to give up my seat in the train but I must be nuts for doing so unless the person needs it of course.
27. Forgive everyone for everything
I can’t think of anything that I hold a grunge against anyone for. The one mentioned above needs not be forgiven for she did not wrong me, it’s just that she is menjengkelkan
28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
My grandma? Err.. I try to layan her when I see her but err.. I don't make an effort to see her. Bu yao la.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day
I’ll try to. Sometimes I'm funny, so not only I make them smile but I made them laugh too :D
30. What other people think of you is none of your business
Yeah, and it’s none of their business too. Why go around thinking things about me? Good things are fine, of course.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch
Agree. One thing that I would like to add: Your job might take care of you financially (from the insurance coverage) when you are sick
Life:
32. Do the right things
If I know the thing isn't right, then I don't do la
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
Brand new pants but not worn (yet) – not useful. Throw? Scratched car – not beautiful, throw? Busy at work – not joyful, quit?
34. GOD heals everything
Amen
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
Of course it will, for the better or worse, because the rule of inertia doesn't apply to things in life. Change always occur.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
It depends. You can feel rotten sick in bed, mucus coming out of your nose, your head throbs behind the eyes and your throat is sore and there’s no voice when you speak. Show up at work? You must be kidding me.
37. The best is yet to come
I hope
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
Yes, I think sometimes we need to thank God for the simple things. Like being just able to wake up, to get out of bed, to have food on the table. Many struggle for just a meal and we have all this good food that we don't even finish sometimes. Gosh, how sinful we are sometimes.
39. Your inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
If I am not happy then, does it mean that it was my outer most feeling so? What's my outer most anyway, my skin?
Last but not the least:
40. Do forward this to everyone you care about.
Let us all reduce spam in this world. Let’s not give them for free but get those who need them, buy them.
I had a picture of this taken from the supermarket but must have deleted it, so I had to search for another.
Am I being jumpy? These kinda emails usually kick some sense or hits a spot in me but I just think that some of these things are well, not so right, do you? Maybe if I read this on another day, I might feel enlightened instead. Thanks though to May Ling and Jenny for forwarding this to me =)
Here is a nice one though via sms, thanks to Els. I love it a lot, probably cos I'm a sucker for rhymes.
This New Year's eve receive seeds from the garden of daily living and follow these instructions.

Water regularly with patience & cultivate with love.
There will be much fruits in your garden. Remember: You Reap what you Sow.
Beautiful, ain't it? Now this is one that touches. Is the difference in new year greetings due to the different main language that the senders speak? ;)
The Wok
Ok, I can’t help writing about food places that interest me. I wanted to blog about The Wok in Kota Damansara but I couldn’t find the pics, I think I must have deleted them together with the accident pics for I came from there before the accident and now associated the restaurant now with it.
All I have to say about The Wok is the otak-otak sucked and the cincalok pork sucked even more. The otak-otak was a super soft and spicy mash. I took 1 piece of the pork and just can’t bear to have another. The assam fish and jiu hoo char were just mediocre. I wonder what were the raves about this place. Grr.. now how could I have deleted those pics? The interior was nice though, very nyonya-ish.
Pepper Lunch
Now, on Pepper Lunch, it’s unique!
I think it stands on what used to be Senjyu Sushi in Pyramid. We passed by and decided to try.
The service here is also good. The person who took our order figured that it was our first time and started recommending dishes. That helped a lot. Then the server checked if we know how to cook it and demonstrated too. I thought the prices are kinda pricey though, RM17+ for rice + Japanese curry and RM14 for rice + chicken.
The menu wasn't as extensive as the one in SG though, I don't remember their menu here having as many things.
Verdict: Nice to play masak-masak and watch my meat and rice sizzle sizzle sizzle.
New Year dental treatment
Today is the 2nd time to Tiew Dental clinic. Never mind the surname, I was impressed by Dr Tan that day and Dr Forgotten-Who today. Both lady dentists, they were gentle and reassuring. It really helped a lot since I have a fear of dentists. They explained what they were going to do, showed me what was done and informed me it if was going to hurt a little. Dr Forgotten-Who even did the drilling bit by bit so that I wouldn’t have a long stretch of pain. I’m impressed. I’m not sure if these are part of the clinic practices (one of it is that they would explain every cost for the treatment before they proceed, so that you wouldn’t get a shock at the end) but I think the compassion comes from within, not from the company =)
A bit tulan though as after I left the room, I realised the filling was a bit weird. By then, the next patient have just been called in, so I was asked to wait a while. When that patient was done, they called in the next! Now, dental treatments take eternity and I had to wait for 2 people just to have a little check. Spent precious 30mins waiting, might sent in a complaint since Tiew Dental seems to be very customer-oriented =)
You call yourself a writer?
Last but not least, here is a sample of an article that someone sent to me as part of the application for freelance writer. Yup, I am hiring someone to help me out. Just in case I’m not able to handle things when a new project starts. I don't know which is worse, someone caught copy-pasting something from the Net or this:
The thing to do in Italy by CPL
Italy is famous for its many landmark and story. It once housed a museum of sort and that is called the ‘Aquilera house’ of horror and stuff. It comes equipped with the standard fare of the mausoleum also. The thing is it is also the time of the decadent sore meaning the buildings were old and encrepit. The time system is also not up to par and thus is also named the time museum. I call it that because it used to be a house of acrylic also. The time museum can also be said to standardize things and to become what is commonly known a s goods sold elsewhere. T he money changer can give you a story to tell oversea. The time museum is also known as the house of Nautingham and stuff. The thing is it is named after the once famous Abraham Lincoln in the 1970’s. It is also what is commonly known as the time factor itself. The time travel is a thing of substance also. The thing is known for its many splendour stuff and is called the time machine thus afar. It is also used to house the time travel series of the dinosaur. It is also the time factor of the time series itself and is commonly known as the time travel machine place.
Italy is also famous for its many landmark of land and flora. It is commonly known as the Italian place restaurant in the street of Monaco and is commonly cooked by the locals. The thing is the museum itself is the time equivalent of the nineties. The thing about Monaco is that Princess Caroline used to travel there to give her speech in the 1960’s and is commonly named the ilk town. The thing about Monaco is that it is a place of time travel also. The thing about the islander is that you must know what to do for yourself in the travel time you have. The money is euro 60 rupee for usd 1 pound. End
What.the.fcuk.was.that? Highlights in red are grammatical errors, highlights in green are 'Apa tahi awak cakap?' Count the number of times 'The thing' appears. There are double spacings here and there and there are spacings where there shouldn't be.
"Time travel series of the dinosaur"?? Laughing my ass off!! Everything here is about time travel, this 44-year-old woman must have been such a fan of Marty McFly especially when he and his dinosaur goes inside the time machine and travels back into the future. Bwahaha!! Omg, what's wrong with this woman. I know enough to know how she 'produced' such an article, so my halo is being replaced with horns now and I'm shooting off an email to her after this.
Funny thing is her name is very familiar, I think I might know her but I just can't recall where. I just saw this not-so-common name a few days ago.
And I must say that it was a great sense of satisfaction catching someone copy-pasting from the Net. I had had even more satisfation when I told her she's busted.

Love knows no boundaries
What she failed to do was to look back at herself. Paedophile, dating a guy so much younger than her! Nah, take that!!
Back to the story, love knows no boundaries. If being paedophiliac isn’t bad enough (she is older than me and her bf has just finished his studies – not sure college or form 5, how’s that), the guy is so ugly. If you wanna get a college boy, there are tonnes of cute boys in private college. There are some really model-like and with hair all over their faces like Taiwan boy bands. Ini pulak, aduh aduh aduh.. (Addition: Timmy said he looks blur and nerdy like a Japanese ...)
*turning off my bitching mode*
I have been wanting to write about this for some time. Once in the train, there was this man whose hands were handicapped. He needed help walking too. He has a gf and she was fully covered from head to toe and face. I must say that they don’t look like the average couple. It made me realize that all sorts of people can get together, and love is very strong to withstand physical impairment. My mum married my dad despite knowing he had a heart condition. I salute those who can love beyond the physical disability/differences, I really do. Committing a lifetime of caring is no easy task and we all know the toll it takes on the family/caregiver. And we all want things perfect – the perfect life, the perfect partner etc…
I myself, am another case of love without boundaries. Tell me about it.
This leads to another thing I have been feeling strongly: Gratitude.
Being blessed to be able to speak.
Being blessed to be able to see.
Being blessed to be able to hear.
Being blessed to be able to be just physically perfect.
We often moan and whine about our wrinkles, eye bags, dark circles, pigmentation.. but a newcomer in the office taught me that even having eyes that look straight ahead is a blessing. We don’t realise how many things could possibly go wrong. My cousin was born with his eyes juling but as he grew up, they self-corrected. This new coll has eyes that look in opposite directions, such that neither of them are looking at me when she speaks to me (I find it hard if someone looks elsewhere when they talk to me). She might have gotten into an accident for her nose is crooked too and her lip is sewn. I must say we haven’t been very nice for we don’t speak to her. I don’t know the reason why, maybe we don’t have anything to say but we don’t ask her out for lunch either (cos we usually ta pau). I am actually disappointed with myself as I usually choose to make newcomers feel welcomed, but ahh.. I just am not making effort this time.
Back to the cock-eyes syndrome, another coll told us of her friend who had a corrective surgery done. To have eyes that look in the ‘correct’ direction, he had to sacrifice his blinking ability. So he can’t blink and sleeps with his eyes closed. Now, how many of us appreciate the fact that we can close our eyes at night?
When we moan that our job sucks, at least we have a job (that’s sucks :D). Think about the 2.2million unemployed in UK. It is stressful to be jobless, talk to me about it.
And when the public transport sucks, take a deep breath and think ‘Hey, I can get out of bed to wait for this transport’ instead of having to wheel your wheelchair up the train and ask for assistance to push the lift buttons. Just appreciate every step you take.
And don’t forget the simple abilities to see, hear and speak.
I am blessed that my life has been good, other than the fact that I don’t have a complete family because God loves my father more. Despite the difficulties, we have a place to stay, I finished my education, my bro is about to start his and we are all in generally good health and I thank God for that.

Eventful October and a wedding
Chi muis are capable of thinking things that I would have never thought of in my entire life. That day, we played these games/tricks on the entourage (in order of occurrence):
1. drinking a concoction of Milo and raw eggs
2. roll an egg up the pants of one leg and down the other
3. dance the Macarena
4. get the house key out of a block of ice
5. singing
6. poem recital
Never mind that the poem was written in English and the groom couldn’t read. He repeated after a photographer who read the poem to him line by line. How humiliating for a man on his wedding day.

How apt, Kenny Sia has a post on the chi mui thingy he attended. His was way worse: leg waxing, wasabi sandwiches, men kiss men and this:
Men trying to burst the balloons on their friends' butts using their crotches. Basically, it's a 'I-hump-your-ass' motionAlthough I must admit that it is hilarious, I wouldn’t want to see my husband diperbodohkan like that. We are grown ups and surely we have smarter things to laugh at?
Now, am I plain boring or what?
So, my dear sistahs, you are spared the agony of thinking on the bachelor night what to play, to use a boiled egg or a raw one, whether to bring the egg from home or boil it at the bride’s home, when to freeze the ice, all that jazz..
I’m just gonna do it with style and dignity. To get married in class and elegance with no stupidity and no one be made a fool of themselves. Just get out the door, have the banquet, wham bam thank you very much :D And yeah, no humongous large can-can dresses, just a slim one. Gosh, I’m even thinking about the yum seng part. But it’s a toast right? Oh, we can have the toast in English: “Here’s to everlasting happiness” “CHEERS!!” Here’s to many children” “CHEERS!!” See, it works right? Once again, style and class bwahaha!
And this is certain: There will be NO singing whatsoever at my wedding. Anyone going on the stage to sing is gonna be shot dead. I tell you, it was singing non-stop that whole night. We had to shout to each other to be heard. It was that freakin annoying. Not only it was loud and stupid singing, but of course, it had to be in Hokkien. Na is wa wu jit pak ban. I shove that jit pak ban up his ass. Well, banquets in KL don't usually have singing anyway. This scene below will NEVER happen at my wedding.
I'll shove his gloves up his ass, then his mouth.
Oh, but I must say that the belly-dancing ah soh at the end was very tantalising. Twice, my jelly dropped when I turned to look at her performance. The 1st jelly ended up in the bowl of tong shui, the 2nd on the floor :D Damn, that ah soh was a 'hot' hoochi-mama!!

Someone made fun of him and said 'i is handsome, u is handsome' and he really thought that the person complimented him! What a fool!
OMG!! I dunno whether to believe it, because this would be how we would talk when we want to make fun of people. Vote which is the best! Mine would be 'die on to myself'. I replied and asked if he died and fell on himself! And I also said that he is very stupid and no wonder the girl doesn't want him.
The best reply was 'You is a very sohai'. (rofl) And I said he is a super sohai.
Here is the thread. The topic was closed right after I replied! And yes, I might be the one who got the thread closed by the moderator who said 'dun practice necromancy on threads unless there's actually some useful info' =D Thank god that I managed to reply; I was the 2nd last reply. Ok, my England isn't so powderful, so I looked up necromancy from Webster and wonder what's it gotta to do with this?
Stupid #2:
I submitted an ad to mudah.com.my to promote my blogshop and I got this reply in my email.

So I replied:
Hi, I would like to know how is my link not relevant, and what I can do to make the ad be published? That link contains more details on the book.
And the reply I got from them:

I thought I must be seeing things; how can someone reply the same thing pasted as before? I checked word for word, and when I was sure that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me and that someone's stupidity is out for a walk, I asked:
a. is my link to my blog not working?
b. my blog is not protected by password (how can a blogshop be protected by password, stupid)
c. how is the link not relevant when it gives info on price, delivery method, delivery charge and a picture of the item?
d. why would I want to link something other than my ad?
So it's got to be some rule that I have already asked about. Actually, before I submitted the ad, I had suspected that linking it to my blog isn't allowed.
Then, I got a reply. Thank god it was another personnel.
Dear Lee Sue Ann,
Thank you for using our services. Your ad been refused because you are promoting other website in your ad description. We don't allow link which goes to other page rather than your selling item or services offered.
Kind Regards,
Noor - Mudah.my Customer Service
So, as I had suspected, links aren't allowed. Why don't they say so in the 1st place instead of all the shit about links that don't work, links that aren't relevant..
I thanked Noor and told her I appreciate her reply. How not to get fired up when dealing with people like this?
I wouldn't call the next one stupid. I would say it's absurd. Someone whose name is modelled after December Ann Ann, whom I grumbled about in my FB peeves post, had just commented that she had broken up with her bf. And this absurd person was the 1st to reply, saying 'Who needs men?'. Her profile picture shows her bf hugging her tightly in his arms. It was really absurd. Not only I thought it was absurd and might contradict her words, but I thought it was distasteful and a bit cruel too.
Do I understand December Ann Ann's pain or is it because I have something against this absurd person? Tell me what you think. I think my heart would bleed if I was DAA.
Why the heck am I calling her DAA anyway? DAA is me! She is August YY la.
Next.. Mickey Mouse gang in tuition. That's what Mr Tay called them.
(from l-r) Rhyon and sister Ryane, Eunice and sister Kylie
I hate Rhyon; she is rude, disrecpectful, lazy and stubborn. How can the youngest turn out to be such a person when the 2 older ones are nice? Even Ms Chua commented on her. We think that there are traits of bitchiness in the little her.
Ryane, my favourite. How can anyone not like her? Mr Tay told her that when she grows up, many boys will fall for her. And her eyes lit up haha! She has improved a lot; from writing diaries of love affairs to really doing her work now. Something must have happened to jolt her. Oh yeah, I did ask her. She said that her mum will disallow her from going to parties anymore if her grades don't improve. So that's it!
Eunice is playful but isn't rude like Rhyon. She is in charge of holding whatever food that their mum packs. Last week, they came with a packet of tapioca kuih. This week, it was marble cake but it's just that the yellow parts are actually cheese! It was such a big container of cake that 6 kids and a hungry teacher couldn't finish it. Eunice is in charge; she keeps asking me if I don't want anymore, and that she will keep them if I don't want any. Since she keeps asking, so I eat la :D Teacher hungry la, can only have dinner after class.
Last week, Eunice's brother Terry said that her wearing the hairband makes her look like 'an Indian from India'. Being called Indian isn't bad enough, from India some more! =D Didn't manage to snap Terry's pic. He's chubby and I wanna pinch his cheeks and I wanted to poke his tummy with a pencil but he managed to avoid.
Kylie.. has very nice complexion although her eyes are sepet. Really fair and smooth, as you can see. The fairest of them all. That's all about her.
Trying to get Ryane to pose for pics, I bullshitted her. I know I shouldn't have. I suggested that we send her pic to Anugerah. Then she started posing.
She posed all these shots to get the ultimate one. After each picture, she asked me to show it to her, not satisfied, and pose again. And again. And again. I started to regret opening my big mouth. And the double 'peace' sign made me laugh. I didn't expect English-ed kids to do that. And private school English-ed kids too!
And after many shots (there are supposed to be 9 shots here excluding those unsatisfactory ones that she deleted), she found one she liked and proceeded to type in Anugerah's number in my phone, ready to send the MMS. I was like 'what??!' No way am I going to send an MMS to some kid's bf. No, it's her ex-bf. I would rather send an MMS of myself to my bf. So I cooked up some (more) bullshit and saved the number in the phone, saying that I would send it later. She was impressed 'You know how to spell Anugerah?'
Ain't I smart..
But she is now with Colin, how can she send a picture of herself to her ex-bf!! Omgoodness..
And don't ask me why are the pictures arranged this way. I got them nicely in 3 columns and 3 rows using Live Writer, but the text I typed are going into tables too. I deleted here and there, 1 pic went missing and all becomes like that. If HTML is a person, I would have given him a tight slap already. And Timmy said that his gf can do HTML, what ever gave him the idea so!
Timmy, after you read this, log into my account and fix it up! I wanna see it 1st thing when I wake up tomorrow morning! I mean, afternoon.
Reply from Timmy: Ceh apa punya GF. Dah, I is fixing it and i is love you.
Hahahaha, Timmy fixed it already and I only realised it at 6pm. I is so love him cos he are fixing my brog!
Last one: Ryane's school is organising a lawatan sambil belajar to Beijing. Cost: RM2000+. Her mum doesn't allow her to go though. Private school, hai.. Shall I still (plan to) send my kids to private school? Don't want them to feel left out when their friends all go to New York or Iceland.

Facebook peeves
Case scenario:
1. From the name, I don't know who that is. And then you put a pic there that is too small for me to see.
2. From the name, I don't know who that is. And then you put a pic with so many people in it.
3. From the name, I don't know who that is. And then there isn't even a pic of yourself!
Look here, I can’t call myself December Ann Ann, no picture there and expect you to know that it’s me right? Ok, close friends might be able to figure out but not when you are one of the juniors whom I have spoken less than 10 words to in my schooling days.
And there is someone female but with a guy’s name. Tell me if Ian is now a unisex name. Thank God I recognised her pic and can even recall her Chinese name. I actually have a good memory. Once you tell me your ‘original’ name, I would remember you. She was impressed as her own friends of her age couldn’t recognise her. Well, think hard why.
Worse, some names have even changed! There is some English name that I don't recognise. Looking from the pic, I guessed who she is, but she is Chong So-So, not Tan So-So. So it cannot be her. No choice, sent her a message and she replied that she is actually Chong Ah Moi. Now why don't you say you are Chong Ah Moi in the first place instead of calling yourself Fergalicious Chong. And now Fergalicious Chong is now Fergalicious Tan. Confusing right? Now you know. She might have adopted her husband’s surname but I think that isn't a popular practice here, unless she is being absolutely loving. I wouldn’t replace my surname with my husband’s, unless when I am referred to as Mrs .. of course. Even if I am married to Andy Lau, I wouldn’t want to be known as Lau Sue Ann cos it sounds yucky, but my namecard would say something like:
Lee Sue Ann
Wife of Andy Lau
Homemaker, accounts manager and a wonderful mother
Now, don't think that the above has distracted me. I am still annoyed. Wait until I call myself Angelinajo Lee and then I add you as my friend. See how you would like that.
This shows that I have got my principles and philosophies; I don't simply add any Tom, Dick or Mary for the sake of swelling my number of friends. I like to have ‘quality friends’ :D
And for those who I have ignored your request, you don't understand what is the meaning of 'ignore'? You send another request? I have not spoken to you in my 5 years of secondary school and it is unlikely that I will speak to you now. So I don't see why we should be FB friends.
Damn cocky huh?

Bear at Heart
You buy the bear.
It comes with a bear house, a musical box, birth certificate and a little heart-shaped piece of paper.
You write your wish on the piece of paper and put it inside the cotton-stuffed container inside that shop (and wait for it to come true)
(Or maybe you put it inside the bear, because the bear is for us to share our wishes, happiness and sadness with the bear)
Then you fill up the birth certificate with the name of the bear and the sender and the recipient’s name.
Weigh the bear.
Dress him up (in other words, buy more clothes from the shop) and select the music you want for the musical box.
Suet, correct me where the red heart should be stuffed. I thought she mentioned something about stuffing it inside the bear =D
Ok, naming the bear is fine. Dressing him up and selecting the music is fine. But not writing the wishes and sharing whatever with the bear. We are full-grown adults, not some little kids who can be bull-ed into believing that the bear understands and shares our problems and sadness. It just doesn't cut it. That particular part made my hair stand on its end. It was like ‘Hello, wake up to reality!’ And weighing the bear sucks even further. Yeah, I understand that it's just like a new born baby who needs to be weighed at birth, but weigh that bear 10 years down the line and it will be the same unless you stuff pebbles inside.
I thought that Suet dig-ged it because she listened to the lady but as soon as we got out, we agreed that it did take a lot to be able to come up to adults, hug a bear and share her belief that the bears are our companions in times of happiness and sadness. In times of the economic situation, people are looking for jobs, people are stuck in jobs they hate, exhaustion and hard pressed for time, confiding in bears just don’t cut it.
For a shop that specialises in bears and the wonders that those bears supposed do, the bears aren’t nice. Most of the bears were of the fur-less type and I seriously don’t believe in blue bears! I glanced at the bear house. No, it was not a house. It was a box to stuff the bear in. I was surprised that for all the bear-worshipping done, it was just stuffed into a box?
Bear that is not nice, pic taken from their website
While on the topic of bears, now I regret not buying the huge teddy bear in Carrefour. Yeah, I know, who buys teddy bears in Carrefour but that was why it was only going for about 50 bucks for a huge one. It was at least 3 feet tall. Actually I dunno what to do with it, but it can sit with my Winnie the Pooh and gather dust together but it was big and cheap lah. And nice some more.

Parasitism
When I read this line, immediately one person comes to mind.
I thought that when you think of Lee Sue Ann, you think of a sign that is plastered across her face screaming “Think what you can get out of her!” But apparently to this parasite, everyone has this sign plastered across their foreheads too. It’s sickening that after a long absence and a current short presence, you persist to leech onto people. It is revolting that after a long time of absence, the first thing that comes out of your mouth is for a parasitic relationship. And you do have some other platform but I dunno if you are plain cheap, lazy or just crave for parasitism. Have parasites no dignity in them, no face at all that they stoop so low to ask even though they don’t need it at all? I think it’s all in the genes.
I can’t believe that this parasite deserves a whole post. But maybe she does because she is truly one of a kind, I have not and will probably not meet another parasite like this.

Evaluation form
A few reasons prompted myself to sit down and think what kinda person I am. The reasons:
1. A series of simple things that don’t work out as they would simply should. Which I deduced that as being karma from being a terrible person.
2. I realised that the aptitude test that I did at an interview would see me having split personalities. Yeah, I admit it.
Like one moment, I am thinking that I should be grateful for just being able to see, speak and walk, the next moment I am being greedy for more and not appreciating what I already have. Few incidents really touched me. One day after parking my car near my house, I heard some loud karaoke singing. I was thinking what horrible jerk was that until I saw that it was actually a disabled man sitting on a trolley, singing for money. His partner who was pushing him around, had a deformed leg and was hobbling with crutches. The scene was heart-wrenching. Had it been an able-bodied person push him around, it was already sad enough.
Another is a mental patient who sells ballpens around my office area. We see him now an then while having breakfast. I’m not sure if he really is a mental patient but it is sad to hear those words uttered. They weren’t begging, they were earning a living. Once, he was going around asking for small change for 5 bucks, but everyone shook their heads. He was only asking for change. Ok, so I didn’t look into my bag as well. Maybe things are so bad these days that it is better to avoid trouble.
Ok, now my traits aren’t that important after all. But then, I’ve been wondering what people think of me. Though I always said that I don’t care if people like me or not, I will always be me and will not change for someone. See, I am fickle-minded.
So, I think my negative points are:
a. Do things half-heartedly. It might be because I am tired, but then it might not be.
b. Think too highly of myself
c. Tend to sometimes look down and make fun of people
d. Lazy. Yeah I am so very lazy.
e. Lack drive, will, energy and spirit
f. Have difficulty refusing people
And my plus points are:
a. Childish =D (Is that a plus point or does it belong above? =D)
b. I please people even though I am not pleased (related to point f above). So, I am nice =P
That’s about it. The bad outweighed the good, that is why karma comes? The interviewer asked what are my weaknesses, how could I say that I do things half-heartedly aka letting out a cough at the stairs? I couldn’t think of any and she said “So, you’re perfect?” “Nooo.. I’m not perfect…but…..errrr.. I really can’t think of any..” =D =D
*****
A compilation of hilarious conversation/moments that I gathered over time:
1. Scene: At a tkd class, between myself and Priyitha, a F4 tkd assistant that I don’t layan. She occasionally asks how is my mum, how is my bro, as if she knows them personally. She has never even met them!
P: Hi.. how’s your bf?
Me: Good, fine.
P: What’s his name?
Me: Hatim
P: Huh, what’s his name again?
Me: Hatim
P: What’s his full name?
Me: Mohd Hatim
P: Your boyfriend Malay ar..?
Me: (not answering the question) Why, he looks like Chinese meh?
P: He looks like a Christian.
Me: Hm. Why, Christians have a type of look wan ah?
P: Ya, Christians look like that wan. Is he mixed or pure Malay?
Me: Pure Malay.
P: Hm. (pause) Then he looks weird.
2. Scene: In the train on the way home from Sogo, between me and my mum. There was a very prim-and-proper Chinese aunty sitting opposite us, reading a thick plain-cover book.
Me: She’s reading a Bible.
Mum: That’s why her shirt is buttoned up to the neck.
3. Scene: In Edwin’s car, passing by the construction site of buildings beside Tesco, Bukit Tinggi.
Edwin: Ann, did you apply for any jobs here?
A question too dumb that is not worth answering. M-O-R-O-N, M-O-R-O-N, M-O-R-O-N and Moron’s that’s his name, OH!!
4. Scene: In Edwin’s car on the way to tkd.
Edwin: Ann, can you add the club logo as the background for the webpage?
Me: Cannot. (I’m already being nice with this answer instead of saying “I don’t want to”. It’s my page, it’s not yours and it’s never meant to be yours)
Edwin: Maybe you scan and put it there.
Me: I dunno how to do it. (being nice again instead of singing that song again)
Hello, you can’t create a template merely by scanning an image! It’s really not worth the energy, breath and saliva used to speak to him. He’s the only person who calls me Ann til hearing it sounds jijik now cos it’s associated with him.
Back to the self-evaluation, not sure if I can face criticisms but the last few things I said will surely affect all the positive things that you wanted to say about me! =D Feel free to comment (anonymously if you want to) on what makes Lee Sue Ann, Lee Sue Ann.
P/S I thought of revealing something that would make you know me better, but I changed my mind and decided to keep it to those special to me =) Nah, it’s just something about the spelling of my name, which Lee Sue Ann wasn’t the intended spelling. That is why my birth cert is special and cool! =D

Tkd complains
1. Money-faced
Power Sport and Dynamic strictly do not take in kids under 7. Mrs Leong rejected a parent who wanted to enroll his 6 year old kid but Edwin takes in even 5 year olds. Even a physically and mentally challenged kid! Why? Cos he’s not the one teaching. Come on, the kid can’t even walk, and her parents want her to do tkd? And Edwin takes her in? She can’t talk and can’t understand anything as well. I wasn’t the one teaching her but still, it’s ridiculous.
The latest addition is he took in 2 kids aged 4 and 6. I thought it strange when he asked me to let them do whatever they wish and that they won’t get it after all. Then I found out how old they were. And this shows what’s going on at the centre and what type of person he is. So I let them do whatever they like as well (they end up sitting on the floor for the most of the 1.5 hour class) Their parents can come and see for themselves one day, I don’t give a damn.
2. Money-faced again
Intake should be strictly once a year. How do you teach if there are new people coming in all year round? I remember Mrs Leong telling a parent to wait for the next year’s intake, she’s that strict and not a cheapskate.
3. Boring, utterly boring
How can you teach grading syllabus and only grading syllabus for 3 months?? Ok, a grading syllabus averagely consists of 2 hand techniques, 1 kick, taeguek and one-step sparring. That’s it. And the one-step sparring are the same steps from green belt to red belt, so there is nothing new to learn. So there are just 3 things to repeat. Omg, imagine doing and teaching the same 3 things over and over again in 12 weeks of 18 hours? Seriously, the students are bored. Those who have had the opportunity to compare or train elsewhere, have left. If you talk about an exam-oriented education system, have you heard of grading-oriented tkd classes? Tkd is more than just grading; there is self-defense, fitness training, sparring even for those who are not keen on competition and techniques other than grading syllabus. I doubt if the students know how to apply what they have learnt, cos all they know are grading steps and besides, they don’t know much as well.
4. The standard sucks
How not to, if the only thing the students know is grading syllabus?
a. Fitness sucks as there is no stamina training. A race is fun for the kids as well as to give those muscles some exercise.
b. One-step sparring is the same from green belt to red. Since when do green belts and red belts do the same thing??
c. No sparring at all for gradings except when you wanna take your black belt exam. In other words, the first time the kids are sparring is for their black belt exam.
d. When you reach 15 years of age, you can just change your poom belt to black without taking an exam. Hopeless. What if the fella has stopped training since he was 8? (being a red belt at 8 is not impossible with Edwin a cheapskate) He can’t just come 7 years later and be a black belt. The reassessment is done with the purpose to make sure that the junior black belts didn’t lag and still have what is takes to be a black belt.
e. Only 1 round of sparring for your black belt exam. Well, you can’t make the poor kids, who are going to spar for the first time in their lives, spar 2 rounds right?
f. The kids can’t tie their own belts. To me, this is a very simple and basic thing of tkd, to tie your own belt. Don’t talk about tying it correctly or disrespecting it by hanging it round your neck but just tie it round your waist, for starters. It is absolutely annoying, embarrassing and stupid to have my class interrupted every few minutes by some kid asking me to tie their belts for them. This is not a kindergarten. Edwin ties their belts one by one. Once, I had everyone remove their belts and taught them to tie it, only to have him interrupting that they will never get it and to just carry on with the stupid grading syllabus. Well, there is another 17 hours and 50 minutes to teach the 3 steps! Teach a man to fish and he can fish for his food! But now they are not even taught to fish! Stupid. On days when I am so pissed, I refuse to tie their belts and he has to eventually tie it for them. He’s a stupid babysitter for all those 6 year olds that he takes in.
g. This is the first place I’ve seen that white belts stand in front and black belts at the back. Again, pampering here. I think he wants the juniors to get his ‘undivided’ attention but seniority is important in tkd. Discipline is also not instilled, like it is well-known that late-comers to class have to bow to the instructors and to the class but it is only here the students coolly walk in and join the class. He’d rather remind them one by one than remind the class as a whole. Which is why I don’t bother asking late-comers to go and bow to him as well.
And a personal attack on the ‘employer’..
a. He doesn’t notify me earlier of any activities or cancellations. So I got back at him and tell him at the last minute too if I’m coming or not. He got the message finally and behaves better now =) But I still take revenge by telling him twice I’m on the way while still reading newspapers at home =D
b. Simply assumed that I wanted my English name on my belt. Luckily I gave him my Chinese name. What if he had already did the English one? I’m not going to pay him! And worse, I realized that he actually didn’t know how to spell my name. It’s either Ann or Anne, not Ane. Whoever spells it as Ane? That’s why I call him dyslexic. And imagine it if I have Ane on my belt? Total moron.
c. Moron
i. Can’t type an sms and needs someone to do it for him. Who doesn’t know how to type an sms these days? Even my mum can! When he finally does, I get sms with single and double spacing everywhere.
ii. Among his pouch, wife’s handbag, document bag and laptop bag, he decided to put his car keys in the laptop bag and we spent a good half and hour looking for it. And that bag wasn’t even taken out of the car. In other words, he turned off the engine, put the key in the bag that was at the back seat and left. Moron moron moron. It’s a wonder why he didn’t put it inside the kicking pad bag.
iii. The car boot is always full of uniforms, equipment, documents and some other trash that the assistant will jump and shut the boot close. And then, the moron installed some speaker that takes up half of the boot capacity. Why bother fixing sound systems, Ah Beng steering wheels and Ah Beng pedals in a car that’s rusty and seats falling apart??
Sorry, people’s dumbness get to me. Annoyed =D
He’s the boss, I’m the employee, I don’t care as long as I get my pay. For the things that I can make a change, I will try to but for those that is beyond my control, I’ll sit back and watch your students run. Less for me to teach too =D I sincerely advise people to go elsewhere for their own good. When a poom belt asked me where shall he get his black belt, I told him that if he took it here instead of the other club where he is also training, he needn’t take an exam. He sneered, which shows that people like to ‘earn’ their black belts. But in the end, he just changed his belt here with no effort. Why waste money and effort right?
I don’t give a damn! La la la la la.. but it affects my reputation for working for someone and some club like this. Which was why I kept an extremely low profile at the MSSD and partly cos I ran away from Chen Hong’s training after 2 weeks =P Timmy said that I still go for classes despite calling Edwin a stupid man. Hai…I forsake my dignity for money. What the stupid heck.

Last day of work! (before my holiday laa..)
Miracle pic. You’ll never get to see this on normal days as you can see the jam ahead up from the Hilton exit. Couldn’t resist taking a pic. It’s such a lovely sight.
Why do I always look for trouble?
Yeah my mum asks me this as well. The latest addition is: Let’s put it this way, I’ve never had a high regard for media people. Cos to me, media is one industry that we can do without. And from there, those advertising/media/design people with weird hairdo and dressing from spoilt brat places like The One, Saito and Limkokwing don’t seem very important nor brilliant to me either. Yeah, ‘creative’ people I guess. They come for training in singlets and mini skirts and then complain it’s cold. Cos I blast the air-cond. Not to freeze them on purpose but I’m in front there talking, sweating and trying to spew my knowledge.
So I don’t think media is my calling, though it is an interesting line and we get to go for makan, shows and award nights =) Hey I even appeared on tv! Ok, now this is not the direction where this post is supposed to be heading. Ok, so I don’t think media is my calling yet I went for an interview at my client’s place. Always wanna play look-see and if they wanna pay me 150% what I’m earning right now, why not? Just go for more makan right? =D But after not getting the job (probably cos I wanted a 50% increase with only 9 months experience and cos I sucked as well), they offered another post deeper into the media line (media planner-always overworked and high turnover) and I agreed to go for the interview again despite not having any interest at all. At this juncture Timmy went ‘hai la baby’ already. I find it hard refusing people on the phone and they are gonna get pissed if I have no interest when I showed some =D
Anyway, gonna call them later to tell them I’m not coming for the interview. Uptown is a stupid place to work in, takes 50 minutes to move a 100m distance. Stupid. I don’t wanna play look-see anymore. I said this a few days ago, and then agreed for another interview a few days later, that’s why I got hai la-ed from Timmy haha. Must have at least 50% interest if wanna do this again =)

Appreciation
“But you don’t know what you got til it’s gone” -Counting Crows feat. Michelle Branch-
Before I went for the interview, I started to think if the new company has Internet access and if I could go back at 5.30 sharp everyday. Internet is very important to me! MS updates her blog too and looks for food reviews (so yau kooi), James is always checking his Facebook and Shikin is now busy downloading songs using the intitle thingy from Tim. I think of May Ling who only has company email and I think I will die of boredom. I think they know that we don’t have much work, so they gave us unlimited access to entertain us. Even if I had no Internet here, I still have 60 days worth of programmes from 6 channels to watch. How entertained I am! And I leave sharp at 5.30 most of the time, my colleagues are fun to be with and there isn’t much workload. So I must appreciate it for the time being, by making the most out of it =)

My brother will not be deprived of anything that other kids have. If he wants branded shoes, watches, clothes, a better handphone or tuition like any other kids has, then he will have it. I will willingly let him have those cos I see it as a necessity as part of growing up and fitting in. But the sensible him doesn’t want any of those. But he wants to go for the F1 instead. F1 is not the average kid’s fare! He will also have whatever he wants to pursue, all those that I didn’t get to. But that doesn’t mean that I will be paying for his education. He’d better get a JPA scholarship or something.

God helps in many ways
There was once in uni when I thought I left something in the car, so I went to get it. That was when I saw that the headlights were switched on. It’s a wonder isn’t it? I remember that it was on a Friday, when I would be very eager to go home after a whole week at uni. Imagine how frustrating it would be if I were to finish all the classes for the week, only to find the battery had died? And turns out that whatever I wanted to take was in my bag all along. It really is a miracle, not a coincidence but God’s way of telling me.
Another was when I didn’t receive some high tea voucher I won. It had gone missing for 2 months, being sent and returned to both my house and office. I would be heading there as well but the voucher hadn’t come and I don’t wanna make another trip all the way there just to utilize it. And turns out that just the day before heading there, the voucher came! See, God didn’t want me to make another 1 hour drive there to use it. Marvelous cos it was gone for 2 months, really didn’t expect it to come at the very last day.
Every time Kimora Lee is faced with some obstacles, she speaks aloud to God asking for His help and says that she actually doesn’t wanna speak to him only when she needs to. I think of this occasionally, that I don’t wanna think of God only when I need something. It’s good to have Him beside you, like someone to turn to especially when going through the harshness of life.

Love all you've got
When all fails, just remember that you have 2 functioning eyes, 2 functioning ears, a functioning mouth, 2 functioning legs and 2 functioning hands. And more, you even have a car, a job and a family. Life is great, isn’t it?

Away from home for the 2nd time
My bro’s gone for a camp and will only be back on Saturday. Feels weird being at home with just my mum and I. It’s a good thing that my parents had him. I think if it was just me alone, it’ll be pretty boring. With no news from him since morning, I messaged him asking if he had eaten, what did he have, and whether he has activities at night as well. 4 hours later, he replied ‘Just rice and bloody dishes. Don’t worry bout me.’ Don't worry bout me <-- this sentence shows..maturity? ***** Annoying fart
This bloody person gave me a bloody document to read when I asked just a simple question. And after reading the bloody document, my question is not answered. Had to call her to get a bloody explanation that is well, not an explanation cos first, I can’t understand her English, secondly she beats-around-the-bush and finally after the beating-around-the-bush, her summary is ‘internal calculation’. What the ?#!@ I can’t tell the clients ‘you won’t know the calculations cos it’s internal’. Invest your money and get ‘internal calculations’ when you wanna know why do you get so little. Buy tauge at the pasar malam and they charge you 5 bucks for a handful. Why? Internal calculations. To hell! Tried to figure out on my own and when it doesn’t tally with whatever crap I managed to squeeze out of her, I skyped her and she replied in CAPS that she is busy. Fcuk her! The next day, Shikin said that YF’s skype says something in Chinese, which she asked James to translate. It says ‘why ask all these questions??!’ Well, that is her job and we are her clients. Aren’t clients the one who are supposed to be treated well and even entertained in the first place? Then it turns out that actually James got it from her too as well as Shikin. Shikin said she must be pregnant cos she was like this the last time too. Well, this is your job and you can’t put a ‘no entry’ sign at skype. Then she finally signed out. How I wish I could sign out or leave the phone off the receiver, life is so wonderful then.
Now I know why she receive a less satisfactory bonus and a less satisfactory increment though in the same company as Debi. His motivated him to stay with the company. Enough said.

I’m a lost fool..
I really have to improve my sense of directions, memory and observation. I don’t observe the way to some place and still dunno how to get there after umpteenth times. Cos I don’t observe. I only take interest when I need to go there. And when I take directions, I don’t save in it my head and let it fly out instead. Timmy couldn’t catch up with me though he was going at 120km/h. And me at 80km/h. Cos I took the wrong road =D Really had no intention of letting him know but got busted. Really can’t lie even though to save my own skin (and face). Rather get scolded instead.
I’m really gonna look and listen! But I just don’t like to look and really hate maps and verbal directions. Just give me written ones on where to turn or which signboards to follow. I’m good at signboards and whenever someone attempts to start giving me directions, the first thing I ask is ‘Are there signboards?’ or ‘Which signboard to follow?’ So I think my right brain is better, or is it left? But knowing stupid Malaysian signboards, there are either none or asking you to turn but you won’t know which turn, NOW or ahead. Once I saw 2 signs side-by-side, both to KLIA but one to turn left and another to go straight. Can’t they just give the better, nearer and faster one?
I need a GPS.. no no no, I need a driver. Then he can get lost and stuck for all I care while I sleep at the back and enjoy my strawberries in chocolate..

Happy ending!
Will be away the whole of next week and will return with PP and F1 pics! Lily is counting down the hours for me on her skype, Shikin says ‘countdown for love in Pangkor'. Can’t wait, so exciting..! Had had a fun day in the office; laughing, posting pics of BuBu and AhKau and making fun of people. And next month will be heading to Tioman (current decision) for the company trip.. Holidays, here I come! Don’t miss me..
