But I am still hopeful...

Dreams that make me

Listening to: Twista feat. Mariah Carey - So Lonely
Feeling: Like I want it to be Friday night all over again.


It's Sunday evening and as usual, am stressing about work tomorrow. Just got a court order to appear in court on the 24th for the robbery that happened three years back. Talk about system right? I've got a shoot on that very same day. Stressing now....

It's a lovely Sunday; all bright and lovely but all I can do is stay home. Am drinking a cup of Earl Grey now and reminiscing about Camerons. I wish the cold weather applies here too. Think about the electricity that we'll save. I wish I can retire there someday *I know I say this every time I come back from a holiday* and write my book. I've been saying this for the longest time but I've always wanted to write one. Still haven't started on it yet but I have more than enough material for one.

Am wishing again but I wish I have enough money to stop my job and write my book at home. Write comic books story lines, write drama series plots... Too big a dream? Maybe, but I have the drama to relate to. Wish me luck to have the courage to start this one!

I've always admired people like Obachan for their determination to do something so well. Read her blog and you'd understand what I mean. She's working a few jobs and still manage to cook, photograph and paint watercolour paintings! When can I have the discipline to do such a thing? Sigh...

Feeling lazy now and I am supposed to work. SICK of working... Shall watch Dr. Black Jack before I start writing my wonderful article!

It's Freaking Flyday

Listening to: Tangga - Akhir yang indah
Feeling: Like I wanna go home!

It's Friday and I've just realized that it's another week gone. Just like that... Without even blinking... God, how come so freaking fast wan?

Anyways, it was a pretty slow week I have to say. Slow in the sense that nothing much happened. Of course, there is SarahN's Birthday Big All day. Had dinner at Paris and went for a little drink after that at Hartamas.

I know, I know... That's pretty boring but like how SarahN would say,

'Haiya, 25 already how you want to celebrate? Go clubbing mer? That's so 21!'

LOL! Totally agree on that! I mean, the day I turn 25 I would want to have all my friends to have dinner with me... No need to nice nice la... I don't really like fancy fusion shit anyway. Best if it's just normal Chinese or if they have the extra cash then we can do Japanese... Truly know how it's like to have a dozen friends having their birthdays on the same month...

After that, we go yamcha at Kayu or something also I very the happy edy. My England is so sucky today... LOL

I digress

SarahN's birthday soiree was a quiet affair... I assume it was due to the fact that we are getting older (and maybe a little bit wiser).

I have another 4 more months to go before I hit the quarter century mark... Quite scary if you ask me!

Chinese New Year is coming soon! I'd be turning 26, Chinese calendar wise... SCARY... Time to get married...

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Listening to: Justin Timberlake - What Comes Around Goes Around
Feeling: Sleepy


Took Emergency Leave today because I felt sick and slept in today. Then woke up to just to watch Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. My god, it's the funniest shit, ever! Loves it...

Everyone should get some Borat soon! *Though I would think it's best to watch it on DVD. Very not safe for the family!*

Laugh out louds

Listening to: Pharrell feat. Gwen Stefani - Can I have it like that?
Feeling: The Tiuz-Daze

I have to admit that I am feeling rather lazy today as I am shooting in about an hour's time so I decided to surf around the net. Was reading my brother's blog and laughing like a bitch in the office with my boss in front of me... You can't blame me, he was blogging about my crazy neighbour.


Artwork stolen from Not Everygay is a good Gay


Beautiful picture of the bitch washing her car stolen from Not Everygay is a good Gay


That's right... Head over to the gay blog if you wanna know what happened between the Lum family and the crazy family.

Had wanted to blog about that crazy woman but The Star beat me to it... I could swear the journalist was writing about my nut next door. Check it out! Highly entertaining...

I'm out

The hills are alive!

Listening to: Jay Chow - Kai Bu Liao Kou
Feeling: Blah cause it's Sunday


It is now officially a week since we got back from Cameron Highlands and I am still dreaming of the cool breeze and beautiful green gardens.

It was crazy, we started out at about 7am from Mike's place and drove non-stop to Ipoh for some 'Kali Mee' (curry mee la). It was good shit! Not too milky with a tinge of lime in it. I wish I could have just ignored Mike's disdainful look when I pulled out my trusty camera for some pictures. Apparently people with class should not take pictures of their food. Got some pictures of the beautiful people (minus Mike, because he refuses to take pictures) who came during the first batch.


G and David

G and Tracy. That girl's gotta be in all pictures!

Cin, take 5. She's got so many funny faces I had to snap 5 times before I got the correct one!

Then we continued our drive up the hills. We drove two cars; me, Cin and Tracy went in one car and Mike, G and David went in the other. According to David, G was yodelling the whole journey up. Me and Cin had a civilized and quiet drive up. The new route (which we took) was pretty uneventful. Did not suffer any motion sickness as the route was quite tame. It was pretty boring compared to the old route.


It was bad hair day, slept only 1 and a half hour!

We got there within the next hour and oh my god the bungalow was beautiful!


Little house on the hills


The obligatory cam-ho picture

The garden (that I checked out within the first five minute) was blooming with flowers.


So nice right? Sniff... I want flowers like these in my garden!

The weather was beautiful, not too sunny and not too cold. After exploring the house for another ten more minutes, we broke out the mah jong tiles.


But not before G does something stupid!

Of course, the Japanese in me decided to take some pictures before we could start. All these happened before even we had lunch! It was fantastic, guess we did not even had the appetite to have lunch as it was just too beautiful (that and we wanted to start on mahjong). We did mahjong till about 2pm when Mike decided that we should all go for scones.

Scones! Of course I'm up for scones! Finally I can say 'Would you like to have some scones, m'dear' without feeling like an idiot. *crazed laughter* We went to this charming little place called Bala's.


So England!


Pretty plants and windowsill...


Really, really beautiful chalets and garden seating. It's like we went over to England just for a spot of tea and scones. We had extremely expensive scones, (RM17.90 for two scones and tea each) in the most quaint garden. All we needed was a sun hat and we're all set for jolly good tea.


Lovely garden! I wish I'm living there permanently~

The obligatory cam-ho shot!

Welcome to our home! We wish!

After scones and tea we took a little hike up from the garden to check out the chalets.



And then we headed back to the bungalow for more mahjong!!! Had steamboat dinner at the bungalow and it was the perfect weather for that bowl of piping hot stew! Then it was mahjong again. Of course, that being the first day and all, we retired pretty early for a night to good sleep.

The next day dawned bright and beautiful, but I woke up to a nasty sore throat and flu! It wasn't that bad till the afternoon came. I could barely eat after that. We roast chicken during dinner and loads and loads and loads of mahjong in between! What else could we do? We had decided to wait for SarahN, Gem and Kst to arrive before we start our activities.

In between mahjong, we stopped for some outdoor fun with Mike. He taught us how to play liew chai, literally translated as (ok, at this point I am totally lost for I cannot translate 'liew', fuck it.) (update, SD6 say it's FLICK the stick) OK. Flick the stick. So we were out for a bit breathing the fresh cool air.

The master of Flick the Stick teaching us the rules of the game!

Then on the third day when I was feeling seriously crap, SarahN and gang arrived. Picked them up at the bus stop, had lunch and went home to the bungalow where another round of mahjong took place again. Kst decided to sleep in the beautiful weather while SarahN snooped around the house. Gem polished her mahjong skills and beat everyone's asses. (Tho I helped her a bit on closing the deal, she's got damn good luck on winning mahjong dudes)

While everyone else was playing mahjong, I slept a bit. Not by choice but I couldn't do anything much. I can't even smoke! So sad! Such a beautiful place to smoke and I can't even bloody puff a effing ciggie. Crap. G decided to teach us 4 player mahjong but failed as she herself also not too sure. Bleh...

At this point there will be no more pictures as the Japanese in the group is severely sick. She couldn't even eat. Now that's scary!

Had scones again at tea and we busted all the jam the caretakers had in the kitchen. I swear to God, Cameron's strawberries should all be made into jam cause they are just too sour and gross to be eaten! Cameron jam = Tastey, tastey!

Had Chinese dinner (at this point, I couldn't really even swallow. I was coughing up blood. EKKK) and had our treasure hunt game. The gift was kindly sponsored by G and it was Hershey's kisses! I only had 2 because everyone was on my case for eating them. (OK FINE! I know you guys care that's why you say me la!)

The prize giving ceremony to the winning group!

Sissy the hero with girlfriend Sam joined us after work. They arrived at about 12. The gates were locked. Damn shy have to wake the caretaker up to open up the gate!

On the fourth day where we were supposed to go for a short tour of Camerons, I felt so sick that I had to stay back. Crap! I really wanted to go see the butterflies. Instead, I stayed home, watched Animax and slept. It was really cold that day and I slept on the couch in the living room where the door to the patio kept slamming shut so I woke up every few minutes thinking that the rest is back from their fun time out.

When they finally did get back, Gem sat down beside me and told me the gory details of the snake eating white mice and long long long milipede. (I would have fainted if I went. I hate milipedes and centipedes and all things that wiggle. EEW!)

Another few rounds of mahjong for the mahjong freaks (me not included cause I just slept) and the rest played another round of Flick the Stick! Dinner was barbeque... I had one measly potato hahah... Couldn't stomach anything else. I'm blaming karma for being sick on my bloody holiday!


We went to the night market after our dinner and bought flowers, food, vege, strawberries and cactus (Kst bought cactus, I durno why... Plus, he purposely go and choose those crazy looking ones. So weird. ehehhe)


Got back and we played charades... And while the rest retired for a few more rounds of mahjong, I retired to the room. Sadness! Last day also cannot enjoy the cold weather a little bit more... Everyone woke up slightly late the next day and we checked out and had a steamboat lunch (again!) and headed downhill again to warm and balmy KL...



Goodbye Sri Sentosa!

That was the story of our fantastic Camerons Highlands trip, the only not so fantastic thing was the fact that I was so sick I only half enjoyed it... Nevertheless I did had much fun with the company I was with!

The hills were alive, with the sound of mahjong tiles!

P/S: Gem, G, David, Sissy and Sam couldn't resist the smell of the stinky King of Fruits and had a few before we took the drive down from Camerons... stress... here are the evidence!


What in the world are you guys doing?


We have stinky evidence that you've been eating durians!

New Year, New You

Listening to: Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite
Feeling: Fresh as a daisy!!!

In line with the most used magazine cover blurb every year, I would like to elaborate a little more on my New Year's resolution... I didn't realize I had set realistic ones until recently. Here's why..

Me, Gem, Sarah N, Kst, Cin, G, David, Tracy, Sissy, Sam and Mike was at Cameron Highlands the first week of New Years and we stayed on for a 5 day holiday. Talk about bliss! Everyone was heading to work or sending their bratty Standard One kids off to school when we started off for a holiday. I love that feeling. Should do that more often!

So yeah, back to the holiday (I'll blog about it in a separate post) I was sick from the second day onwards till I got back to KL. What a bitch. I was just lying around, can't eat, can't play mahjong, can't even have fun. That's when I realized I am sooo not healthy.

Got home and decided that I should sleep earlier instead of bumming in mamaks. So on Sunday I slept at 10pm, diverted abit on Monday and slept at 3am and yesterday slept at about 11pm. Had been waking up early without much problems since then. It's a good start... So that's resolution no.1

Sleep early on weekdays

Realize I said only weekdays? Cause weekends are reserved for mahjong! How to sleep early?

I also realized that I had been eating unhealthily so will be packing food to the office for lunch at least two times a week. Skipped lunch yesterday and on Monday had hawker food, today mom made sandwich for me so that's one down. Hope this can last as it will also help me save money~ So resolution no.2 is

Eat healthy and pack food to work

Drinking more water is also part of my be healthy plan!

Need to upgrade my intelligence level! So gotta read more books, more books and more books! Also more newspaper la... So no.3 is

Read more and I don't mean comic books

Pretty realistic ain't it? I'm praying that I can stick to it!

P/S: Another one I should add is to blog a little more consistantly and fingers crossed that will work out... I should be getting back to work now~

The Greatest Advice

This is something I got from my aunt on my email today... Thought it was pretty meaningful so I decided to put it up.

Merry Xmas guys...

THE GREATEST ADVICE

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Ms./ Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Ms./Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.Find a new friend.Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip.
Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.

No one completes you - except YOU.
It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.

Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time.Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

Love lost and gained

Listening to: Shakira - Illegal (on repeat)
Feeling: Doink


I'm supposed to be asleep but have the sudden urge to blog about nothing. I had something in mind as I was brushing my teeth but suddenly I forgot. The goldfish in me is acting up again.

OK, so the first thing that came into my mind after typing that sentence is how sad life is without someone to like. This Shakira song is bad...

I was just telling G about the time when Maxis changed their RM99 plan to the RM75 plan. I had a rollover credit of about RM200 and I spent about RM60-RM90 calling SD6 in Canada. I had to finish the money anyway because if not it'll be burnt off. But you know, the moment I realized that I had that much rollover that I had to finish off, the first thought was YAY! I can call him now... So sad... But true. Looking back, I think those were the days when I was stronger and optimistic.

Liking SD6 at that time was a sweet lie that blinded my days. Scolding from Boss? SMS SD6. Something exciting happening? SMS SD6. A fight with parents? SMS SD6. I had to stop myself from reaching for the phone for the first few months after deciding I should stay away from him *obviously after he got himself a girlfriend*. It was hard to stop this habit that I had for more than 5 years. To go cold turkey was an achievement by itself. Suddenly I find my phone bills going down and suddenly I had to call people more often to finish off that monthly RM75 that I can't rollover. It's weird... But I did it. Stopping ciggies should be easy now...

Then came Jay. Jay's episode was short and bittersweet. Maybe it was just me at the end of the day but I had always chose to run away from these things rather than to face it head on. It was hard with SD6 and so to safe myself from feeling shittier than I am already feeling, I decided to run.

I am getting really good at running away from problems...

Now that I seriously have no one in mind, it scares me because somehow it feels lonely. At the very least I had something to look forward to back then.

My mom asked me again if there were any guys going after me again that day. I told her yeah but he was younger than me and I didn't really like him. She actually told me to try it out. She is that scared that this daughter of hers can't get married. My sister had to quip in to say there are many guys going after her. It's sad but true...

So guess I am too choosy and being what I am now I shouldn't be as choosy? Is that what my mom is trying to tell me?

Dilemma...

Another boring piece of goldfish mind from me.

Quickie

Listening to: The All American Rejects - It ends tonight
Feeling: Empty


It has been like a month since my last post? I think so...

There are times when I have this urge to turn on my baby and start blogging but my hands reach for 'Detektif Conan' instead. Yes, this is the worst case of 'Iamsofuckinglazy' I've ever encountered.

Well, maybe it was also because of the recent discovery of a colleague's blog and I think half the company read it. She wasn't well liked to begin with. She wrote about some incident that happened in the office and somehow lied about some stuff. Man, did everyone die laughing reading it. And when I said nearly half the office, I was just exaggerating. *woot.. I can spell exaggerate!*

I got sort of freaked out when that happened because I do blog and I have said this once and I will say it again that I don't want to be dooced because of a blog. Erk... scary thoughts..

There were times when I so wanna blog but then malas wanna type or when I've got the inspiration I just terlupa the next second. Gosh.. I am starting to scare myself. My attention span of a goldfish has dissolved to nothing. Will be writing soon. Give me a stable net connection and I will put up a few posts at one time. Enough me ranting.

P/S: I am currently putting Shakira's Illegal on repeat. Zoe thinks she sings like a whale on that track. Can a whale actually sing? *ditzy look on face*

P/S/S: I wanna start writing a book. Anyone's got any ideas how to start?

P/S/S/S: This will be the boringdest Xmas ever... Sigh

P/S/S/S/S: I wanna write about Hampau strikes back sometime soon

P/S/S/S/S/S: The Laughing Buddha gave me some pointers on how to be a better person. Will blog about that later!

P/S/S/S/S/S/S: Should stop doing the P/S thing. So not cool. So Phantom of the Opera.

Jack of all trades and master of none

Listening to: The Bee Gees - Massachusetts
Feeling: Confusion


Sometimes I wonder if I'm what people call 'phun thong sui' literally translated as half a bucket of water. This term is usually applied to people who learn things halfway and abandon them for something new.

Like how I'm constantly reminded by my mom that I had wasted nine years worth of classical ballet training on whim. 'Phun Thong Sui' she would say. Wasted my money and time we had to spend sending you to ballet classes. Sigh... *I've always wondered why my brother who had spent nine years studying the guitar had never gotten the same talk. They had stopped guitar too*

So yeah. Recently Sarah S had asked me if I wanted to try out something that I really want to do but have no experience in. I had been doing fashion and home decor but not this one thing that she had asked me to try out. Thing is that I am just picking up on what I am doing and apparently I am doing pretty well. I say apparently because I really have no confidence in myself whatsoever. I have to admit that whenever people tell me that I'm good, I usually think they are just being nice or they are just trying to console me.

It's bad I know. What's left of my self esteem is at an all time low.

So back to my predicament...

The two people that I confided in told me to go for it. I know I should but all I can think of is the problems I might face. What if I can't live up to their expectations? What if Sarah S sees my work and is disappointed in me? After all, she told me she's got faith in me. Problem is that I don't have faith in myself. I can imagine myself failing and going back to my old self. 'Phun thung sui' I can even hear my mom saying that.

What if I can't cope with the workload?

What if I can't meet deadlines?

What if they feel like they've made a horrible mistake?

What if I can't live up to their expectations?

What if they don't like me?

Man... I am like super confused now. But I guess I'll try. After all, this is what I really, really want to do.

I wish someone could actually tell me how I am doing... that someone could let me know on a scale of one to ten, one being really good and ten being really bad, how good I am in what I do. Guess that'll happen come assessment day.

Scared!

Unfortch...

Listening to: M-Flo - One Sugar Dream
Feeling: Bummed!


I went for the Nokia L'Amour launch swearing to God only winning a phone would put my life right...

It was raining as usual and KL was pretty jammed. Mind you my car was still wrecked and kinda ugly. It looks as though it might just fall apart if I go over any more bumps. Halfway towards KL there was this odd grinding sound coming from the passenger side. I thought it was prolly just my tires against the smashed side. So I let it be...

So then I stopped in front another traffic light when a pedestrian started waving at me and started gesturing at my tires. Immediately I freaked cause I thought my tires were punctured. I wound down the window and checked but she was gesturing the other side. I couldn't see anything so drove towards the venue of the event and got down the car to check.

Turned out that one of my signal lights were dragging on the floor. There I was, squatting in the dark, in front of KL's most happening area with my car parked illegally trying to stick my bloody signal lights back into its hole. Pretty funny sight I must say... I would laugh at me if I saw myself doing what I was doing...

Anyways, back to the bloody launch. I wanted the damn phone so god damned much. See, since I had to pay off the car damages, my hopes on using my bonus on a phone is fucking dashed. So what would I do? Hope and pray that Nokia would be kind and give out phones...

Unfortch... they did not.

Not even a fucking lucky draw. They had a best dressed contest that they didn't even mention in the effing invite. Wow... guess who won best dressed? Definitely not me, who was still in whatever I wore in the morning, the one I was shooting in and smoked a thousand ciggies in. I smelt and looked like shiat...

Just for records, I love this phone... 3G and best of all, it's PINK. Fucking PINK in colour and damn fucking cute! I want it!


Nokia 7390 daisuki!!!


Nokia 7390 hoshiiii

Christmas is coming soon... Anyone interested in donating towards my new phone? If not, I have to wait for next year... Sadness!!!

Do you believe in luck?

Listening to: Sandy Lam - Zhi Shao Hai You Ni
Feeling: Excited


I do. Not because I tahyul or anything like that but because it has proven itself again and again.

Only last month mom went to Ipoh for a short trip. While they were there, uncle wanted to visit this temple that was apparently very good (or something). Since they were there, mom decided to ask the gods about our home, dad and me.

Mom is not exactly the staunch Buddhist/Taoist but the first thing that came out from Tai Seng Yeh's mouth shocked her. (Tai Seng Yeh is the legendary Monkey God in 'Journey to the West'. Although he was a work of fiction, there are still people worshipping him like a god) He asked why mom have so many 'cards' placed on our altar. Initially mom wondered what sort of cards we have around the altar and asked 'Tai Seng Yeh' what sort of cards as she didn't remember having placed any cards around the altar.

'Tai Seng Yeh' said "The ones you took from the temples. Those that haven't been hoi kong' yet. ('Hoi Kong' literally means 'open light'. It means something like blessing or inviting the gods to the object, and it is usually for statues of gods or prayer beads)

Mom was shocked because we do have cards depicting gods around our altar. And yes, she did take them from the temple. She was asked to take them down. I guess from that moment she had already made up her mind that this 'sifu' was very 'leng' or miraculous.

When mom asked about me, Tai Seng Yeh told mom that I have a nice smile and had always been smiling... to my friends. He said that I only smile to my friends and not to my family. Bingo... another one that hit right on the spot. This was getting kind of freaky because it was all right on the spot. Next he predicted that I will be involved in an accident which will cost me a fortune. This accident will also involve the rear end. Mom interpreted it as a car accident where someone will bang me from behind and asked me to be careful...

You know the freaky thing is.. I got involved in an accident today. A very stupid one because I banged a parked car. My colleague's car by the way, which was way shittier than wrecking a stranger's car.

I was trying to park (side parking) beside his car because I wanted to unload my products as I had a shoot today. Since I had a lot to unload I decided to park there because it's nearer to the entrance. To cut a long story short, I pressed the accelerator instead of the breaks. I couldn't believe I did such a stupid thing like that.

I had been driving for four years and I had never pressed the accelerator instead of the breaks and vice-versa. How could I have done such a thing? Actually at that split second I thought there was a ghost pressing my feet against the pedals. Sigh...

I ran out of my car to check on my colleague's car. Only a few scratches and a broken number plate. So I quickly unloaded my items and removed my car as that space is not mine. As I drove I heard this rattling sound. I looked at my bonnet on my left and saw it bulging up... SHIT. Quickly parked my car again and checked the left side. Only then I realized that the whole left part was dented in. Pretty badly too...

Guess shit happens and it did happen and it will cost me a bloody fortune. My colleague just called me and told me the cost to fix his car was about RM600. WHAT? For that few scratches? Apparently the inside of bumper was all screwed up and had to be fixed. On top of all that, he wanted it to be fixed in the Proton Service Centre and everyone knows fixing it there is more expensive than doing it in the workshops. Since his car is new, he wants it to be fixed in the Proton Centre. His car is a brand new Gen-2. About 3 months old? Felt damn bad for him.

Yes, like I've said, I do believe in luck and I believe that my luck for the whole year had been used up. Now I am fucking broke. My car is pretty badly banged up too, I think that would be about RM600 to fix. It's insurance month in a few weeks time and on top of all that, I still owe my mom money. Wow... Guess I am running on negative... again. Sigh

Just my luck.

"Go trip on your power!"

Listening to: Howie Day - Collide
Feeling: Kinda pissed off and tired


I've just gotten back home from a full day of running around; from central KL to KLCC to MidValley to Bangsar to One Utama. I have a shoot tomorrow and I am stressed out and tired.

Working in a magazine is a funny thing. You are at the mercy of your boss in the office. During events and media trips, we(the media) are treated like demi gods. (In a way laaaa) When you're out loaning... you're at the mercy of the shop salesperson. We are generally nice to the sales people and they are usually nice to us, though some might need some warming up to. I have to be honest here; fake or not, it makes my job MUUUCHHH more easier.

I've gotten my fair share of shitty sales peeps but oh well I guess everyone's got their bad days. I would usually stay civil and be polite. After all, I am coming back to their shops to return and collect more stuff in the future anyway...

So today was just another boring collection day driving from one place to the other... Until my last stop. I was supposed to get some items from a well known departmental store. Collecting from a departmental store is totally different from the usual collections. I have to get a pass from the security guard. Usually not a big thing but today, the lady in charge was in a foul mood.

Security Guard Lady: Kenapa you datang dari depan? Lain kali you datang dari belakangla
Why did you come from the front? Next time come in from the back (She meant the docking bay

Me: Tapi saya selalu datang dari depan. Saya bukan supplier.
But I've always came in from the front from the store front. I am not a supplier

SGL: Ini beg besar. Apa dalam beg itu? Lain kali jangan bawa beg besar-besar, bawa yang kecil punya
This bag is big. What's in the bag? Next time don't bring such a big bag. Bring something smaller

Me: *Feeling temperature rising* Saya darimagazine dan saya datang untuk pinjam barang untuk shoot. Saya bukan supplier. Kalau saya nak masuk dari depan, saya masuk dari depan. Kalau saya nak bawa beg besar, saya boleh bawa beg besar. (snatching my pass and walking away)
I'm from a magazine and I'm here to loan some products for a shoot. I am not a supplier. If I wanted to come in from the front, I come in from the front and if I want to bring a big bag, I will bring a big bag.


OhHhHhHh, I was damn pissed off!!!!! I was nice to her when I asked for the pass but why was she being such a bitch and started scolding me? Before I can even explain that I am not a bloody supplier therefore I do not need to come in from the docking bay, she had already assumed that I was one.

Ex-Hitler once told me that people with the least power loves exercising what little power they have because it makes them feel powerful. As I was going around collecting the items that I wanted, I felt bad for the lady and was actually feeling bad for blowing up at the lady.

She was riding on her power...

And I tripped on mine... Guess we're even then.

P/S: She was polite to me as I was returning the pass to her because one of the guys who were helping me with the paperwork actually went over and told her off as I went back into the office and told the guy about the incident. I have to admit I was being kinda bitchy... Erk.. that guy didn't deserve it... Now I feel bad x2. :(

Switch

Listening to: Tommy February6 - Lonely in Gorgeous
Feeling: Sleepy

Finally I've succumbed to Blogger's demands and decided to switch to their beta version.

I prefer the old version's layout and hope that there won't be any problems with the switch on my Mac. I don't like the underlined hyperlinks.

I know I'm anal, so?

Question

Why do nice guys always turn out to be assholes?
