Aftermath of being too comfy

2012-01-27T00:58:00.000+08:00

I'm bored. The bro already went back to Miri. The sister and brother in law are going back to Kuching tomorrow morning. The dad is also going to Tatau for work tomorrow. Mom and little bro are occupied with church and friends. It's weird to see the little bro going out till late at night. Reminds me of myself years before. How time has passed without me realizing, eh?

I'm getting used to the uber small desktop monitor at home. I blame it on the twenty two/four inch desktop at JS. Reluctant to go back to work... It's too awesome to be at home...

Little bro is back. With kebab. :D
Bye!

Gunshot @ Sibu, Sarawak

2012-01-14T02:10:00.000+08:00

Getting all stressed out for no apparent reason
at this hour just doesn't feel so good.

Following the murder case, now it's a gunshot case in Sibu, Sarawak.

The text below is extracted from The Star, 2011:

"SIBU: A 42-year-old pub owner was shot point-blank while entering an office equipment supplier’s shop in Brooke Drive yesterday in yet another murder case in town. The mafia-style shooting was carried out in broad daylight, and at the receiving end was Lau Leh Ing. In the 10.30am incident, Lau and a friend had just arrived in his brand new white Toyota Land Cruiser and were stepping into the supplier’s shop when he was hit. According to James Ling, the shop owner, Lau was walking behind his friend and he was shot in the back. His friend was spared.“I heard the deceased shouting “Aiyo! Aiyo!” before he collapsed near the door,” Ling told reporters at the scene of the shooting. Lau died while on the way to a private specialist centre from 10 shotgun pellets from “one or two shots” that hit him in the back. It was reliably learnt that Lau’s assailant(s) had come in a Proton car. ... The victim operated a pub at Lane 1, Jalan Lanang here. Last Oct, his residence at Jalan Salim was the target of a drive-by shooting. ... “He was about to enter it when a silver-coloured Proton Saga car with three men in it came by. “One of them took out what we believe is a shot gun and fired at him,” he said." - The Star, 2011

Rumor has it that the gunshot and the brutal murder case are related. They are all from the same gangster gang. And, apparently there was a cover-up by police on the gunshot case. It was said that the deceased's friend who was with him was also shot on his hand. But, it was not covered in the news for some unknown reason.

Let's just hope that I will survive through my CNY holiday break in Sibu. God bless me and the Sibu-ians.

Brutal Murder Case "Solved"

2012-01-06T23:23:00.000+08:00

The below text is extracted from The Borneo Post for lazy people.

"SIBU: Police believe they have solved Tuesday’s brutal killings of four family members at RTM Road with the arrest of a 17-year-old neighbour.

The boy, who is said to be mentally unsound, was picked up in town late Thursday night.

He is believed to have entered the victims’ home through the first floor ceiling. There is apparently no partition between the ceilings of all the double-storey terraced units.

After police questioned him, the boy is said to have confessed to committing the crime.

A sledge hammer, believed to be the murder weapon, was recovered from the boy’s house.

Police will look for further evidence at the Kemuyang Sanitary Landfill this morning." - The Borneo Post, 2011

Disclaimer: Below is only my shallow opinion of the whole case and shall not be taken as accuse or any sort of disrespect towards the officials involved.

Seriously, am I the only one that think this is bullshit? If the boy has mental problem, do you think he knows how to climb through the first floor ceiling? If he really does, do you think that he never try it before WITHOUT the family's alert of his behavior? Do you think that he had never shown anger/violence towards the family before? Do you think that the family will not take extra precaution for the safety of their house and themselves?

If the police are really "happy" that they have successfully "solved" this case in such a short period of time, then I can only say that I am speechless. The whole thing just doesn't make sense. Do you think a normal, healthy man cannot beat a kid that has mental issue?

I am not convinced. I don't know about you.

I fear for my safety now. People can come and kill me anytime and the fault will be blamed on some random people from Tanjung Rambutan.

I'll buy more locks tomorrow to soothe my mind.

Brutal Murder & Two Missing Person

2012-01-05T23:52:00.000+08:00

What a way to kick start a new year!

If you don't already know, there was a brutal murder in Sibu, Sarawak two days ago.

"SIBU: Four members of a family were brutally murdered and another seriously injured in their double storey terrace house at 1H Lorong RTM13B, about 5km from here, about 7.30am on Tuesday.

Police have identified the victims as Ling Tong Hock, 36; his son David Ling Chei Qi, 10; daughter Amy Ling Zi Jiun, 7; and his 76-year-old mother Leong Nyuk Lan.

Tong Hock's eight-year-old son Kelvin Ling Chei You, who was seriously injured in the attack, has been warded in the Intensive Care Unit of the Sibu Hospital." - Cited from The Star, 2011. (Click the link for the whole story).

How can this world be like this! Such a crude human being to harm a 76 years old lady and 3 young kids. (Not to say murdering a middle-aged man or woman is not cruel, you know what I mean). I don't know how the person can do it.

There's also one thing that creates suspense. The news reported that the wife quickly locked the door and escaped through the window to look for help. Honestly speaking, I feel that there is something wrong here. A normal human being wouldn't respond like that in such situation, don't you think so? Just my personal opinion, you can disagree with me. I, for one, would probably wonder what the commotion is about and went down to check. She seems to be very alert about the situation.

Next, there is the news about the flood in Kuching, Sarawak today.

"KUCHING: A Form 6 girl and a petrol station worker are missing after being swept away by rushing waters in a storm drain at Jalan Rock around 7am today. Witnesses said the student, Kho Ying Qi, was on her way to school in rainy conditions, when she suddenly slipped and fell into the drain." - The Borneo Post, 2011

*continue text from The Borneo Post*

"When the fireman climbed out of the drain he was informed that petrol station worker Herman Sihas had earlier jumped in after the girl. However, there was no sign of him. Herman, 28, who is from Lundu, only started working at the petrol station recently. His elder sister, civil servant, said she was not surprised her brother had risked his own life to rescue Kho. He apparently does not know how to swim." - The Borneo Post, 2011

I salute Herman.
May God be with two of them.

Amen.

Sick Journal

2011-12-29T21:13:00.000+08:00

Dear Lord, please heal me.

It started a week ago, I was busy with work, with little brother coming over, with buying Christmas gifts. Last Thursday, I officially fall sick, was coughing horribly. But, I thought to myself - I shall recover naturally! I shall not see a doctor. I was recovering... or so I thought.

On Christmas day, the cousins asked me to stay over their place. In the morning, we had dim sum. That's when it gets bad. I chewed on one of the 排骨 bone, and then something cracked hard. It wasn't that bad at that time. But it got worse. For two consecutive nights, I had fever on and off. I went to the dental clinic despite my utter dislike of the place (just means that I've grown up).

Dentist: Which tooth was it?
Me: I'm not so sure because the whole area was so pain. I woke up at night due to toothache and fever.
Dentist: Okay, let's get two X-rays.

The dentist didn't find anything wrong with my teeth. He knocked each and every tooth that I had (practically), and came with the conclusion that I should come next time when I have toothache again.

FML or not I ask you! I had fever and toothache again that night. And I think my energy was drained because I haven't been sleeping well either.

So the next day, I was coughing nonstop in the office.

Chief Architect: Sharon, go home! Don't spread the bacteria to me.
Sharon: I don't want to go home!
Chief Architect: Go and see a doctor, it's just opposite.
Sharon: There's no doctor today... the nurse asked me to come back tomorrow.... :O

*moments later*

*coughing intensively*

CTO: Sharon, are you OK?
Sharon: *paused* *nod* Ya.
CTO: You should go home and rest, and tomorrow you will come brand new. You're not going to do much in this condition.
Sharon: ....

*CTO walked away*

Sharon: *stares blankly at the computer for 5 whole minutes without registering anything*

Sharon tells Chief Architect: I'm going home.

Chief Architect: We were wondering when would you say that.

Sharon: T_T

So I went to the clinic nearby my place. Waited two full hours for my turn. The doctor was ~~over~~ really friendly.

Doctor: Hello Sharon! How are you?
Sharon: I'm feeling weak... My fever was on and off...
Doctor: Oh no, what happened? Let's check your temperature.
Sharon: I think the fever is off right now..
Doctor: You're still burning high.
Sharon: Really? It can be a lot worse at night.

I was being really honest. It felt like a normal temperature at that time. Then I went to Bak Kut Teh place, wanted to tapao.

Uncle: Tapao for how many people?
Sharon: One person.
Uncle: For you? Fever?
Sharon: Ya.
Uncle: Fever cannot eat! Go! *gestures me to go away*
Sharon: *walks away sadly*

I came back with antibiotics, cough syrup, flu pills, fever pills.... So, I posted on my facebook family page about my condition and went to sleep. Woke up at 11a.m. Checked my phone.

Message from dad:
Mom's ETD 10:30a.m.

Sharon: !!!!

Did a quick damage control for the place. I've got a paranoid parents I know. Yes, they are caring and loving also. Feeling much loved while drinking my green bean soup right now.

Sorry for the uber long post, I won't be posting much so you can split into few days to read..

Have a happy day!

Random-ness

2011-12-12T01:19:00.001+08:00

1. I just painted my nails, Thistle and Peach from Elianto. Crap, it's 1a.m. right now. I cannot brush my teeth because it will spoil nicely painted nails. I can't sleep comfortably because it will spoil my nails. Why did I paint my nails at the first place lah! :(

2. I went to 5 shopping malls today! New record /salute!

3. I have flabby genes. I am fat. I cannot tahan myself.

4. ~~I hate smokers who throw ciggies out from their cars.~~ Rephrase, I hate smokers in general.

5. I am supposed to send some packages today but apparently the post office closes at 4p.m. I reached there at 6p.m. :/

6. I hope I can show my true colors more. I feel so pretentious at times. Maybe I should live in a drama, or anime.

7. I want to buy a HDD, a MacBook Pro, an Iphone 4s, a new purse, a Sennheiser headphone, a badminton racquet, a rice cooker, a GPS... I wonder if I'll be getting any Christmas present this year except the one I received months ago.

8. The brother is coming this week :D I hope I get to see him. The last time I asked him, he said he rather spend time with his friends and will only spend half a day with me :(

9. ~~I hate car parks.~~ Rephrase, I hate my lousy sense of direction. I was lost at Pavillion's car park today. Walked one big round and still couldn't find my car. Nearly tripped myself. I was pretty convinced that my car was stolen and began to panic. Just then I saw the little shuttle car that fetches around lost soul like me. I quicken my pace....

"I cannot find my car!"
"Do you remember which floor is it?"
"I think it's B2...."
"This is B2!"
"Ya, but I cannot find my car....! :("
"Try to use your car alarm."
"Ok"

*after driving all around B2, the driver drove to B1. I was thinking,

"I told you it's B2 mah! You should drive around B2 !#$%^ Don't trust me lah now!"

Then, suddenly, "Beep beep beeppp beepppp...!"

"That's my car!!!!!"
"..."

T_T I hate my sense of direction.

10. I should seriously sleep right now. I hate being late.

It's a Friday!

2011-12-02T23:59:00.002+08:00

Why are you smiling like crazy today? Is it because it's a Friday?

I am the bigger person...

2011-11-30T22:38:00.000+08:00

Today, I got an email bomb for no apparent reason. I think I am still in shock. I think I spent the whole day telling myself I am the bigger person, I am the bigger person, I am the bigger person. God says, "Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."

But I still have feelings, aite? I thought maybe I could just ignore it. Don't reply, what's the point of replying someone who purposely want to find fault in you? But then, it's a courtesy to reply email. So, I typed,

"I am merely the medium to collect the data, appreciate if you not vent your frustration on me."

I am a bigger person, innit?

It's a season to fall sick.

(Credits)

It's funny how sometimes people hate something, then they find solution to solve it. It goes well for a while, but after that people will start doing exactly what he hated before. Ironic, isn't it?

Been slacking so much lately. It shows in the statistics. That's not good, eh? Must patch up fast before people starts noticing, or maybe they already do. Is my life all about work right now? I wonder sometimes how am I going to put my life to use. What can I do better? How do I make myself more valuable?

I can be seriously blur and ignorant sometimes. For example, today I laughed along with other people. Halfway through, it strikes me that I think they are actually laughing at me. Then the smile became slightly awkward. Hum.... Nevertheless, the people are nice bunch of humans. I shall not complain.

Just remember I still got things to do! Aiyaya.

(Credits)

Good Night people!

Battle of being late to church or going to a later service.

(GoogleImage, 2011)

I looked into the mirror today, and I don't like the person inside. I've been such a whine and gloom lately I hate myself. I wonder how people can stand me. I'm supposed to be at the church by now. It's funny how I can be late at all times. I took the lift down and decided I hate the feeling of being late. So, the verdict is to go to a later service.

I have been gaining weight. A lot of kilos, fyi. It scares me to feel my flabby fat. I should really go on diet. Extreme diet in that case. But I love to eat. This can go on forever, so I shall end with - I need a diet healthy lifestyle! I find my mind drifting drastically when I talk to people. Attention deficit disorder? Or lack of sleep? It just feels like nothing interest me anymore.

Am I being too needy? Don't laugh! When I don't know, I got upset. When I know, I got overwhelmed. Why can't things come in order in life? I need to do something, something fast. I think, I think I need to take a step back. Yes, I think that will do.

The Dream Bible

2011-11-15T22:43:00.001+08:00

My bosses are extremely cute!

Ever since the company subsidizes book purchases, I've been doing consistent book shopping. The newest purchase is
The Dream Bible by Brenda Mallon.

This book is much more interesting if compared to the Dream Intepretation by Sigmund Freud. Let me read through the pages, then you can ask me for dream interpretation :D Alternatively, you can go to http://www.dreambible.com/ if you are curious about the meaning of the dreams that you had.

There is one particular dream that I often had - flying. Sometimes, it's superman flying style, sometimes I flew with both arms outstretched, sometimes, it's birds flapping style. Most of the time I actually do know that I am dreaming and able to control my directions.

According to Dreambible.com (2011),

"To dream of flying represents your thoughts and feelings associated with a sense of freedom to do what you want, or to think or express yourself without restraint. Flying dreams commonly occur around positive waking life experiences that make you feel powerful, in control, and free.

Difficulties flying symbolize something in your life or in the way that you are thinking that impairs your ability to realize goals express yourself fully, or do your best.

Flying dreams are very common around positive sexual experiences, powerful spiritual experiences, participation in personal passions such as hobbies or the arts. Intelligent people who have creative outlets commonly have dreams of flying."

Okay, it's official. I am smart(fullstop)

The art of making yourself sick-er - eat heaty food.

It went something like this...

Horn: Kong, want to go to Genting today?
Kong: What time?
Horn: 2p.m.
Kong: Why now only tell me!? *It was 1p.m.*
Horn: Impromptu trip.
Kong: Okay, see you later.

Saw: Kong, you're officially a gambler!

Yup, it's official.

Gambling can be pretty addictive. Must learn the art of self-control!

That's Betsy's cake! :D

I love impromptu trips (:

Farewell with Chuah.

I actually really do miss hanging out with friends.

Honeymoon week, I love :)

Yesterday, the conversation in the office went somewhere like this:

A: So, Sharon, how are things going?
B: I am OK, I guess.
A: Alright, so how do we make OK better?
B: Uh......
A: So, should we widen up your job scope?
B: No, I am fine. Thank you. Bye Bye. *practically ran out of the office*
A: *stunned* Getting away very fast huhhhhh!

Yeah man! I'm stressed enough with my current responsibilities. I'm having wisdom hair already. Really don't think I should take more things on my shoulder for now. I guess, it is a OK for now. Enough.

So, do you dare to tell you Boss when it is enough?

KL Wesley Methodist Church

2011-10-16T23:55:00.001+08:00

If you receive 30 missed calls from your family and friends when you gone MIA in a day, you know you won't die without people knowing.

Credits: Kenneth Kiffer

Finally, after so many years, I made myself to Wesley Methodist Church in KL today. Found their site on google. Went for the 10a.m. church service. Google maps really help. Manage to find the place after a few wrong turns. The church is actually together with Wesley Methodist School. In GoogleMap, it shows that you have to take a long way to walk to the church from Plaza Rakyat station, but I heard from people that it's actually quite near. Haven't explore enough on that.

Anyway, so I went alone feeling quite nervous because I don't know a single person there. There were a lot of people around. The security guard showed me to the admin block when I asked them where is the church service :/ Luckily, Aunty Veronica was nice enough to show me the canteen and pointed the direction for me to the sanctuary.

I was walking towards to the sanctuary, and guess who I met? Ms. Selina, my English teacher in Foundation. I greeted her morning and stated my name. She said she remembered me. Don't know how true is that thou. Lol. She is awesome. I love her a lot. She introduced me to Rev Yew and a few of other people.

The people there are awesome. It feels very much like home <3 I hope this is a point where I can renew my faith. Today, Pastor Yew talked about the seven chair. I think I am still at Entertainment Chair (1st chair) or maybe even lower than that. It's time to get serious, eh?

I know today will be an important day for me. Praise the Lord and Thank You Lord for guiding me. Love you long, long time <3

If you haven't found your church yet, why not try Wesley Methodist Church?

Dysfunctional Week

2011-10-09T01:36:00.000+08:00

"Oh man" is the phrase I use at work especially dealing with the higher ups.

It had been two dysfunctional weeks. I had been pretty sick for two weeks, on and off. I haven't been producing much lately and I am very afraid that people will find out pretty soon. Sometimes I don't know what I do at work. The number of interview cancellations has been increasing lately. It kinds of demotivates me sometimes... I get very fragile and weak when I am sick. I think I paid off all my sleep debts today. I think I slept for nearly 15 hours. I think this post is very retarded so I better get out of here asap. Bye.

Joon Xi

High fever... Staying home to rest for the day.

I love my baby nephew so much. He makes me smile all the time. He's getting one year old soon. :) This happens one fine afternoon when I was visiting him. I was focusing on making him smile and ensure the photos are not blur since he was moving around so much. I swear I didn't realize what he was doing until later on....

This little guy thinks it is funny eating the little chicky toy (-_-" ). Don't dare to post this on FB just in case the parents see the photos and kill me for not taking the chicken out of his mouth earlier. I swear I only realize it later on and immediately take away the little chick from him. But then... mission accomplished. This is an awesome photo of Joon Xi :) <3

The Fugitive Plan B

2011-09-29T23:29:00.000+08:00

We picked our own chair and color at work today. How cool is that? :)

(Source, 2011)

I haven't been getting enough sleep. I blame it on Rain. The Fugitive Plan B is probably the nicest korean series I've ever watched. The actors and actresses are pretty stunning. The acting is really awesome too. I've reach episode 11. Getting a new car tomorrow!!! Weeeee~ And I'll be off to Penang for the weekend.

*yawn* I have yet to move my stuff in the car. *yawn* probably should sleep now *yawn* Nights!

Never Ask A Lady...

2011-09-21T00:22:00.001+08:00

One of the Manager put an ice-cream on my table, and said take a break, take a Magnum. Because you have been working hard.
I was so touched, I stayed back till extremely late to prove that I really do work hard. I'm too easy to manipulate sometimes.

There are some questions that meant not to be asked. For example, I was trying to start a friendly conversation with my colleague the other day. So, I asked...

How many months are you pregnant?
.... I am not pregnant...
.... .... !!!!! .... But someone told me you are pregnant!
No, I am not... It's just the shirt I'm wearing today... *sounds very hurt*

And I felt damn crappy the whole day. Whoever the bastard that told me she is pregnant, I cursed the whole day. I felt really bad, I wanted to dig a hole and just hide in there forever. And, I think I forgot to say sorry because I was too shocked myself. Now, I hope she never finds my blog, at least not this post.

Lesson of the life: Never ask people about their pregnancy until they disclose themselves.

My friend commented that this kind of scenario normally only exists in drama. I guess when there's people like me, there's bound to be things like this that happen in life.

Rotten Apples

2011-09-15T22:02:00.000+08:00

Can someone tell me, why do people intentionally make people to dislike them more?

I don't understand.

I am very frustrated and upset by the way people handle things carelessly...

This is just not right.

To think that I have to be a part of the rottenness just make me sick.

Freedom Writers

2011-09-13T23:23:00.001+08:00

It was Mooncake Festival yesterday and nobody wanted to play lantern with me. It's sad how people can age so fast.

Just finished watching the movie. It is a really nice piece of art. You should really watch it! I have been watching some nice movies lately, like Little Miss Sunshine, Freedom Writers, Bad Teacher, Taken.... Awesome, awesome cannot-die-if-you-haven't-watch kind of movies. I like how these four movies touch on reality, racism, prejudice, discrimination, the dark side of the world which we choose to neglect.

You can get them movies from me if you know me. I am very reluctant to delete them because they are so good. But, my laptop slowpoke speed is killing me at the same time. So, you better get it from me before I got too fed up on the speed. Or maybe I will get myself an external hard disk, when I have the cash.

Meanwhile, it had been a really busy, unproductive week. I hate how little I can achieve with limited of time. It's going to be two streak weeks of work non-stop. I should really check on my car. My thoughts are flying around right now, I don't think it makes any sense anymore.

So, goodnight!

Book Fest @ KL Convention Centre

2011-09-04T02:48:00.000+08:00

My green nail polish was a topic at work. Apparently, Etude House has stop selling it. Only found that out after checking out at three malls... How sad :(

Went to the BookFest @ KL Convention Centre yesterday. Entrance fee is RM2.50.

The books are relatively cheap. There are three different halls: English Hall, Chinese Hall and Stationaries. This is one awesome bargain!

Was searching for an interesting book that talks about body language. Wait till I finish, then I can read you like a book! >:)

The stationaries and CDs are at the upper level. Extremely crowded. Hard to fight with aunties. Buying that for someone's Christmas present. I hope he doesn't read my blog.

Anyway, today (Sunday) is the last day for the book fest. If you are a book lover, go and grab your book! There are comics on sale also, fyi :)

Life As A Recruiter

2011-08-24T23:08:00.001+08:00

Monday Blues, Gloomy Tuesday, Hectic Wednesday.... what's the flavour of Thursday?

I have been a recruiter for more than a month now. And I feel the need to rant. Do you know what are the things that we, recruiters, dislike to the core?

Those who ask us to call them at 12p.m., 1p.m., 5:30p.m., 6p.m., 6:30p.m., 7p.m.... Seriously, when you have your lunch break, I need mine too. When you are off work, I also want to go back home on time!
So, I guess life is not fair. As a recruiter, I am doomed not to have lunch hour and go home on time. The one thing I hate more is that people who ask me to call them at 6p.m., then ask me to send details to their emails. Seriously, what the hell?
If you haven't guess it already, I shall tell you now. The statement that gets on my nerve every single time is, "Can you please send details to my email?" Actually, that is still fine. What is worse is, they asked me to send, but never bother to reply. How inconsiderate!
Another one would be, those who ask about salary and benefits, before checking out on job descriptions. Whoa, slow it down human! You haven't even pass the interview session yet!

Ok, enough ranting. Now, I am going to give you some tips about writing a resume. I go through 500 to 800 resumes a week. If I only do resume search a day, I can view up to 300 a day. So I think what I say would help you in a way or two..

Normally, the first thing I see on a resume is your skills. If it is a technical position like software engineer, it is crucial for you to put your skills in your resume like php, asp, mssql, .Net, java, ajax, and so on.
Managers love first class students, so I guess it is an advantage for those who have high CGPA score.
Then, I will look at job descriptions, normally the latest three companies you worked in. Please do elaborate on what you do in the Company. I have manager who tell me to eliminate those who write very little about their role in the Company. Reason being, as an experienced employee, you should be mature enough to describe your job function in your resume. For me, I think those who have little to write about just shows how lazy they are as a person. So, those are the people we do not want.
For your information, we do try to eliminate job hoppers, especially those who change job every one or two years. I have seen really long resumes. Actually, employers love those who are loyal to the Company, especially those who have 10 years experience but only worked in two companies previously. So, choose your Company wisely.
If your position is technical, please do not tell the recruiter that you prefer non-technical role.... I just find it very contradicting sometimes.
If you are not good at the skill, do not put your level of understanding as intermediate or advanced. Then only tell the recruiter your knowledge for that particular skill is very basic. It makes us doubtful about all the skills you have written in your resume.
If you do not have the skill, don't say the position is not suitable for you. Seriously, are you going to learn just ONE skill for the rest of your life? Just say you don't have the knowledge but you are willing to learn is fine. Because when recruiters call you up, chances are they think you are fit to the role. Never try, never know, never learn, never have the chance, right?

Crap, it's past my bedtime.

More next time.

Goodnight!

Crazy Bata Sale @ MV

2011-08-21T01:37:00.002+08:00

The brother is here today. Been out all day to eat.
It struck me how little I know about good food in KL because I can't think of any.

(Bata, 2011)

Went to Mid Valley today, and there was this crazy Bata sale at the Exhibition Hall (highest floor). After probably an hour inside, I came out with a pair of heels, costs RM20-00 only. There was this happy hour crazy sale, 3 pairs of heels for RM10-00. But I really cannot compete with them man! All those aunties, ladies, or even Malays that are puasa-ing now are super power I tell you! Cannot even squeeze in, by the time I do get "in", all the sizes left are 9, 10.... :(

By the way, a lot of people seem to think that Bata is a local brand. It's actually from Switzerland. I always thought it was a Malaysia brand. I guess they are just that successful in blending in to our culture. Oh ya, back to the sales, the shoes range from sandals, heels, formal.... etc. There are Bata, Primavera, Adidas, Puma, Nike, .... I heard that ~~tomorrow~~ today (Sunday) is the last day.

If you have nothing better to do ~~tomorrow~~ today,
go grab your shoes!
;)

Doodle @ Work

2011-08-18T22:16:00.000+08:00

Recruitment is sales-alike, we sell our Company to attract candidates to work for us.

This is my Doodle book. It is situated in front of my desktop screen to remind myself,
"Never ask for things to be easier, always ask myself to be better."

I doodle when I need to relax my strained eyes, or when I am too stressed up.
Especially when people don't answer their phones, it makes me go crazy sometimes.

Normally, I just draw, without thinking what picture it will turn out to be.

Reminds me of story-writing last time. I would just write, without thinking about the ending of the story. The more I write, the more pieces will be patched together till it is a complete piece of artwork.

I live in the past, like a recorder. Picking some valuable piece of memory out sometimes to reminiscence and giggle foolishly at myself. I always wonder what will people perceive of my weird act.

Lunatic? Weirdo? Unique individual? :E

The light right on top of my seat in the office had been blinking nonstop. Apparently it's the wiring problem.

It's killing me and my eyes.

I think I need more colors... I only have pink and green.

Probably need some biege for skin, or brown probably. Anyone want to sponsor?

They reminds me of the Smurf family.

Talking about smurfs, it's going to be out soon yes?

Sometimes I wish I live in a magical world... Then everything will be much more interesting and exciting.

This is my favorite piece of art so far.

Loving it lot!

Limit

2011-08-17T22:43:00.001+08:00

Finally get to use my new umbrella today!

I'm so happy!

Except that I still get all wet in the thunderstorm, somehow...

(Google, 2011)

In life, we set limits for ourselves so that we don't cross the boundary. Today, finally, after one month of working, I am late for work. Reflecting from my first week of work... I used to wake up at 6a.m. then it slowly became 6:30a.m.... 7:00a.m.... 7:15a.m... and finally it became 7:30a.m. today. Finally, I broke my one month clean streak. I remember how happy I was when I wake up at 6a.m., had my breakfast, slowly drove to the LRT station, took my sweet time walking to my Company from the station, breathing the fresh morning dew. I proudly told my family and friends that I will not continue the bad habit I adapt to previously.

But, now, kenapa macam ni!?
T_T

Going off to bed!

Mundane Things In A Day

2011-08-03T22:31:00.001+08:00

(Source)

I have a facebook family page now. It's quite awesome to keep everyone updated of what they are doing or where they are going. Little brother's idea. Of course, it's for family only.

LRT condition is really horrible ever since Ramadhan. Not sure if people are going out later or earlier than usual. Today, I was squashed like the butter in the pancake. One more thing, whoever that is driving the LRT, screw your skill. You should re-take your driving exam. Or, if it's a system, they better change it a.s.a.p because it's horrible. Why the hell is the LRT stopping abruptly all the time. And the journey is not smooth at all. Cepat tukar please, thank you.

Today, orientation finally ended. Work is adding on day by day. More and more positions to be closed. Sometimes I feel like time is not enough for me. I want to sleep 8 hours a day and I want to be able to feel accomplished after everyday job and still be able to go to the park for a run. I want to be able to find time to tidy up my place because the brother is coming over to fix my light next Wednesday. I also want to have some personal time for myself. For those who have time, try Rainie and Wu Zun's new drama series - Sunshine Angel. I love it because I love both of the actor and actress. One more thing, what color should I pick for my car? Hum....

Job Satisfaction

2011-08-01T21:56:00.001+08:00

Do you believe in love at the first ~~sight~~ voice?

Today I had sprint cleaning and planning with the Head. After that, we had a little chat on overall job progress, job satisfaction, and things to be improved on.

Head: So, how do you find your job?
Me: Good.
Head: Good means what?
Me: Good means okay.
Head: Okay means what?
Me: Okay means good.
Head: ...... -_-

Eventually, I settled on "good because I am happy."

(Source)

People around me used to say things like, "what do you expect? it's work." or "nobody loves his/her job"... yada yada yada. But, I don't believe that. If you are happy with what you are doing, then you will be internally motivated to improve yourself, no matter how hard it can be. Then, I go on telling him that people can love their jobs, but it's useless if he/she cannot distribute the work wisely.

I think I've mentioned this before. At my previous job, I used to work until 8 or 9p.m. or even later at night. Then I'll work till 3p.m. on Saturdays. And guess what? I burned out. You know when you cannot take it anymore because your body automatically falls sick to urge you to rest. And I felt that I was alienated from non-working life, lost touch of the world.

That is why, when I started my journey at this new environment, I made an important note to self. Never allow myself to be burned out. And that I will love my job very, very much and try my best to learn and polish up my skills. I think God hears me because he sent an angel to guide me through my career path. I am so very blessed.

Oh, and fyi,
I really do love my job!
I hope you do too.

Unconscious Love

2011-07-26T20:43:00.001+08:00

One of the thing that I learnt from work today is that 岳飞是宋朝人。

(Source)

Remember my previous post saying how I love Real Slim Shady by Eminem? Well... today I know the real reason for that. I was having lunch with one of my colleague and she mentioned about the "lunch song". Yup, you guess it right. Real Slim Shady is the lunch song that the DJ plays everyday to remind us it's lunch hour already. And I didn't realize that even after one week working.

Super fail!

Super pai seh!

Tsk tsk.

Real Slim Shady

2011-07-25T21:29:00.001+08:00

I happen to be helping out with the coolest department of my company and there is a DJ that broadcast music everyday. Of course the DJ is also one of the software engineers. Real Slim Shady is a song that I look forward to everyday because I love the beat of it.

Any talented software engineers looking for a cool company to work with?
Let me know :)

Friday Is The Day

2011-07-22T22:34:00.001+08:00

(Source)

I am constantly on stress mode ever since I started working and when I worked last time. I'm not sure why, but maybe it's because that I don't feel I am performing enough. I have high expectations of myself. And also, I am constantly nervous or afraid that I make mistakes.

That's that. Today happens to be the best day of the week. Not only because tomorrow is a Saturday, but I think what made my day most would be the motivational talk from the Boss. It really matters to me that my boss actually cares about my well-being. It matters to me that he bothers to explain to me about the situations. It matters to me that he is actually quite a fun person to be with.

I am starting to like my job. Will probably relax more when I can actually recruit some software engineers for my company, which shouldn't be too hard since the department seems to be the best I've ever seen. The only issue here would be that people don't know about it! Grr.... Faster recommend me some smartass software engineers!

Just Like Heaven

2011-07-21T20:44:00.001+08:00

This afternoon, I got a text from my mom. Someone I knew passed away today. It was a shock to me because I didn't know her condition has been critical. Then sudden sadness hit me. I thought to myself, how fragile life is. How I can be here today, but not tomorrow. Will it matter to anyone at all? I wonder.

This is the third death news I got from mom ever since I came to KL. It is a weird feeling to consume all these information when you are not even there with the person. I don't feel their absence. I've only been to two funerals. It hit you more when you see them lying there in the coffins. When you hear cries of sadness, your tears will be gushing out in no time.

Today, I walked along the path and thought about the person just left this earth. I could sense my eyes turning red and tears threatening to roll down, but I fought it back. Because they are all in heaven right now with the Lord. Sooner or later, I will be joining them for the glory of the Lord.

Harry Potter at Work

2011-07-18T22:11:00.000+08:00

Work is piling up. It's like *KA BOOOOOM* It's all yours now.
*breathes*
I can do it!

Today, I went out for lunch with some of the managers. I was being really quiet, observing until they reached the topic of - Harry Potter.

"Have you watched Harry Potter?"
"Not yet, I want to watch Part 1 first before I watch Part 2."
"There are many episodes already lah, you only watch the first episode??"
"No... There are two parts for the last episode... The something Hallows..."
(It's The Deathly Hallows!!!)

"I think the first episode is the only nice one, the rest are so-so only..."
"Yeah, only the first one is interesting..."
(Gr... I love all of them, I'm re-watching all the episodes before watching the last one!)
"Really? I didn't watch any of it."
(Then you should read the books! They are so much nicer!! I read all of them TWICE.)

"Anyway, this Dumblebell guy...."

That is it, I couldn't hold it in much longer.....

"IT'S DUMBLEDORE!!! NOT DUMBLEBELL!!!!"

*silence* *stares*

"Oh, you are a Harry Potter fan..."
"Yeah...."

With that, I ended the Harry Potter conversation.

p/s: Tomorrow is only Tuesday! :(

Thailand Diary II

2011-07-17T01:57:00.000+08:00

First day of work was pure boring. I was paid to read. Hopefully it gets better next week.

1st July 2011 (Day 3) - continued

Party was great. Met this little boy named Natal. Watched a Dutch series with him. There was no subtitle. The little boy was translating the whole time. So sweet. Maybe I should learn Flemish too.

2nd July 2011 (Day 4)

I love the pool. I love looking at the sky. Tonight, it rained heavily.

3rd July 2011 (Day 5)

Had pork burger as breakfast. You can't get that at 7-eleven in Malaysia. You should try it if you can. It tastes awesome. The original flavour owns the spicy ones thou. Today is election day. Apparently, you cannot sell alcohol on election day. So weird. Went on the empire's boat to watch the sailing race today. My skin got darker by hour so I freaked out and asked to be sent back first. I now have two small patch of darker skin tone on my arm. fml.

4th July 2011 (Day 6)

Apple fetched us to town for breakfast. Don't laugh. It was freaking scary. She rode it fast. I was super scared. Thai massage (200 baht) in the afternoon wasn't that great. If you happen to go to Pattaya, I will recommend you to go to Just Spa for oil massage.

Goodbye to Varuna.
Nick was kind to send us to Bangkok. Saved on taxi fee. Yay!

5th July 2011 (Day 7)

Went to Mah Boon Krong (MBK) Mall by BTS. Stopped at National Stadium station and walked to MBK. It's very near. The clothes here are really cheap. As cheap as 99 baht without bargaining. But, the choices are more simple and t-shirt wise. The bags are extremely cheap if compared to Platinum Mall. Most of the bags are 199 baht only. Had manicure and pedicure for the first time in my life, minus cutting thou. For that, we paid 200 baht. Cheap, if you ask me. Quality wise so-so only.

Went for Thai massage at night. It's more expensive in Bangkok but I cannot remember how much. I still prefer the foot massage in Hat Yai. Cheap and nice.

6th July 2011 (Day 8)

Went to Platinum Mall by taxi from Sukhumvit. The taxi was very scary. The handle was broken and the uncle wanted to con us by not using the meter. He offered 100 baht but we insisted on the meter and he succumbed to it. It is always, always safer to stop a proper taxi that uses a meter. A warning to all. Paid 60 baht only to reach.

Platinum Mall is a place where you can get all the fashionable clothes. The bags here are really expensive if you ask me. Not worth it. The minimum price to offer was 300 baht; whereas in MBK you can get 199 baht without bargaining. Hunted for cheap clothes due to my very tight budget. The best purchase was a gold robot necklace. It was only 80 baht :D

7th July 2011 (Day 9)

Morten requested for Malaysian dishes from us. So, ~~Aili Ng~~ we decided to fulfill their wish since the kawans that stayed there before this didn't keep to their promise. It was still absurd for me to cook in Bangkok honestly. To think that the kawan promised to do it just like that and when I asked her if she's cooking, she said she will help me out. Unbelievable. Anyway, it turned out to be alright I guess. We mistaken kidney bean as red bean but it turned out to be fine after chilled.

So proud of us with the end products: Seaweed soup + meatball; Coca cola chicken; Curry with squid and tofu; Luncheon meat with eggs; Vege with oyster mushroom; Kidney bean drink. Cooked a little bit too much if you ask me. That is more like 5 to 6 person's portion. The coke chicken seems to be the best dish of the night. It's my first time cooking that with my sister's recipe from her blog. Very easy to cook. Try it out!

8th July 2011 (Day 10)

Went to MBK and Siam Paragon. Siam is more of a high-end place, like Pavillion and KLCC.
It was European Movie Festival. We watched "Friends like this" at the cultural centre near MBK for free. Today is the last day in Bangkok. Took a cab to the airport at 6p.m.. Was dumbstruck by the Bangkok jam. Ai was very stressed out that we might miss our 8:20p.m. flight. It was 7p.m. The taxi driver sensed our fear. I prepared the money even before we reached and we ran all the way to the counter.

"Your flight is delayed."
"!@#$%^&"

Maybe it's the prayer.

That ends our Thailand trip.

I don't think I will be going there anymore this year. Three times a year is a little bit too much. Should really explore some other places instead.

Just so you know, I had the most fun going to Thailand with you.
<3
We should go some other places again!

Green Green! Yellow Yellow?

2011-07-09T23:25:00.000+08:00

I had only been out of the country for 10 days and see what happens to Malaysia without me?

That's Hee Tiong Huat from Sibu. I think he didn't get the attention he wanted from the small town so he came to KL to get what he wants. Somehow, I find this video very entertaining.

Just a thought, why all the water cannon and tear gas firing all around when it's just a peaceful rally? I think the government needs to polish up their problem-solving skill. It's just absurd to harm a peaceful rally. One tiny bit of me also pity the police. Somehow. Despite all the corruptions going on, there must be some still pure in this world.

I am stranded at the kawan's place because of all the hoo har going on in the city. I am just not happy to not be able to go back home after 10 days in Thailand. I kinda miss home a lot this time. Been around too much these few months. It's time to settle down for real.

Signing off.

Thailand Diary

2011-07-01T15:14:00.001+08:00

29 June 2011 (Day 1)

Missed the bus transfer to Pattaya because of Airasia flight delay. Had to wait for an hour more for the next bus (124 baht), which did not provide direct transfer to the hotel. While waiting, we went to 7-eleven and I bought pork burger (25 baht). Really nice mm... maybe I should buy again soon. When the bus stopped at Pattaya, we took tuk-tuk to the hotel. Costs around 100 baht per pax. Had an awesome Thai dinner w Watermelon juice and Mango shake. yummm..

30 June 2011 (Day 2) - MY BIRTHDAY!!

Went for a swim early in the morning. Met Terry and was convinced to go out to sail with him and Apple. He is a really nice person, teaching me patiently. There were few times when I lost control of my feet (because it's too slippery) and 'flew' past him and Apple. And there were times when I sat on the rope accidentally but they never scold me or anything. Really awesome people. Even sang me a birthday song on the boat.

Ai and Apple brought me to Cabbages & Condoms to celebrate my birthday. Really interesting place. Will post up the photos when I get back. After that, we went to shop because I am out of clothes. I know it's only the second day... Now I regret for bringing minimal clothings. I think my cash is running out a little bit too fast and it scares me. Went for oil massage (300 baht per hour) later on. It was alright... Probably because I am used to lymphatic massage with the Aunty, it just doesn't feel right here.

1st July 2011 (Day 3)

Maybe it's the air-con. I have been waking up really early since I came. But I didn't know what else to do so I sleep back on every time. It's raining this morning. My clothes are not dry yet :/ Should really go out but my clothes are not dry yet and I cannot afford to dirty my clothes anymore. I feel like buying a beach dress but have to jimat-cermat now. Sighs. Going to a surprise birthday party tonight for one of the sailor here. Free food, yay!

Now... what should I do :/
Let me check if my clothes have dry yet!

Bye!

Packing Can Be Annoying At Times

2011-06-29T01:41:00.001+08:00

I am... too excited.
I am... going to Thailand tomorrow.
I am... not done with packing yet.
I am... not done with laundry yet.
I am... not done with dishes yet.
I am... overdosed with amphetamine and endorphines.
I am... only going to buy things for myself in Thailand because of the pathetic weight limit.
I am... going to check off the above things to do one by one starting... now....

><

Happy Early Birthday to me!
See you in 10 days time!

Positive Thinking Attracts Positive Energy

2011-06-27T16:15:00.000+08:00

Have you heard of the power of Positive Thinking?

I was singing, "I am happy, so happy, la la la, I am happy, so happy....", all the way from Bandar Tun Razak LRT Station to my car. I am pretty sure people think I am crazy. Today is a BIG day for me. And once again, I just have to say this. God is awesome! He hears my prayers every single time. I love Him so much <3

(GoogleImage, 2011)

Some of you are aware that I have got a job offer from X Company. But they want me in by early July. But, I have asked them if I could join on 11th of July or August instead because I have a Thailand trip the first week of July with the kawan. The boss replied my email saying that I have to cancel my trip if I am serious about joining in July; whereas the subordinate told me that I could join in August. That was last Thursday.

I have talked to a lot of people. There were people telling me that I should forego the trip and just join in July. Don't give bad impression. There were people that said I should have lied about the reason of me postponing the joining date. There were also people that decided to pray for me and see what God wants me to do. Almost all of them told me that I should just forget about the trip. So, I was in a confusion state.

When I am confused, I draw lots. And the lots always show, "God is good. Listen to him and pray." or "You will go to Thailand as planned." And I believe Him. And, true enough, He realize my wish.

Why Positive Thinking attracts Positive Energy?

Because if I don't believe that everything will go as planned, I will not even bother to fight for my "right". I will end up burning two ways tickets to Thailand, and I will be a horrible friend that ditch a kawan for work. Although I will be really happy to get into a really awesome company, there will still be a hole in my heart forever. But, because I shooed away all the Negative Energy, I did not listen to all the Negative Comments about how there is no win-win solution.

So, my Positive Thinking attracts Positive Energy, resulting in Positive Outcome.
Believe in win-win solution -> Fight for my right -> Thailand trip is on as planned and I get the job

Believe it, or not.
It's all up to your cognition.

You Are Having a Good Day

You feel a bit overwhelmed by the changes doing on in your life right now. You don't have a good anchor.

You are a flexible person. You tend to take life as it comes.

You are prioritizing your individuality right now. You have your own stuff to work on.

Deep down you crave freedom. You feel at peace when you are able to do what you want.

Just Hang Out

2011-06-24T00:54:00.000+08:00

A lot of people have been asking me same questions these few months, it goes with this....

"How long have you been unemployed?"

"Actually, it had only been two months plus technically...."

"Really?? It seems like you've been unemployed for such a long time!"

"Yeah, a lot of people tell me that. I don't understand why either..."

"Maybe because you are always flying around. Sometimes I have to ask people if you're at the East or West or out of the country..."

"...."

Hum... now that I think about it... I have really been travelling around a lot after I am free from work.

Kedah-KL-Bangkok/Pattaya-Sibu-KL-HatYai-KL-Kuching-Sibu-KL

I have to admit that I myself think that I have been fooling around for a long, long time too. That is probably why God is asking me to settle down for good.

But, I hope, I really hope I can still go for the last trip

before I officially become the working zombie like all the lifeless kawans.

Please just grant me this one last wish, please?

I am going to miss just hanging out with you kawan.

Wish List

2011-06-21T00:07:00.001+08:00

Hi, my birthday is in 10 days time. Since I am very blessed to have satu, ichi, yi4, one human to sponsor me for the Thailand trip as my birthday gift, I demand for presents after all :)

So below are my birthday wish lists:

Wooden comb. Like the one in Body Shop. I want the big one. Can be China brand. I really don't mind.
A pair of sunglasses. Time to get a new one.
A new purse. I want red, long purse. Not bulky one.
A backpack. I want pink or red. But not too girly....
Or... you can just belanja me eat lah! I want sushi :)

Actually, anything is fine. As long as it is not soft toys, decorations, hair/body/facial products... Reason being I have too many soft toys, my house is too small to squeeze in decorations, and I already got body/hair/facial products as present from the sister.

OK. Faster prepare your money and buy for me!
Or... stop working and find time to have lunch/dinner/supper with me already.
>(

p/s: realize I never mention breakfast? (:

Scratch the previous post.

One awesome human just sponsored me a birthday trip. Can you feel my joy? :D :D Thank you very much, awesome human! I don't want to mention name in case everyone ask the awesome human to sponsor on their birthdays :D ♥ ♥ ♥

I am leaping around with joy, literally :D :D :D

I am one blessed kid.

Happy Fathers Day and have a happy week!

Birthday Donation

2011-06-19T19:01:00.002+08:00

Am I happy? Yes, I am.

Am I excited? Yes, I am.

Am I feeling guilty. Yes, I do.

My 23rd birthday will be in Thailand with Ai :)

I find it extremely difficult to text the family that I am going to Thailand again. Not when I do not have a job. I have just calculated. After this Thailand trip, I would probably be draining up all the money that I have earned for the 7 months that I worked. So yeah, I guess my brother is right. I should really start working after this trip.

Putting that aside, the sister just called and said that she wants to tag along :/ But she wants to be in Bangkok. So, how? I also don't know.

Sis: I also want to gooooooooo!!!! But I want to be in Bangkok, not the beach.

Me: Hum... then... how about if X Company doesn't hire me then I will go with you again.

Haih, I can get pretty soft sometimes.... Honestly, I don't know what my parents will think of me if I go with my sister again for the 4th time this year. Inconsiderate brat who only knows how to play and don't know how to earn money?

Anyway, here's the deal. I am pretty sure you haven't bought me a birthday present. So, how about you guys chip in money for my Thailand trip! Brilliant idea right :D The birthday donation starts now! You can chip in RM1 / RM10 / RM100 / RM1000... It doesn't really matter. Ask me for my bank account.

Thank you in advance!

It Is A Dangerous World

2011-06-16T02:37:00.003+08:00

When she was a toddler, her mother would warn her...

"Don't go outside, or the monsters will eat you!"

"Don't simply follow strangers, or they will sell you off!

"Don't talk to strangers!"

"Don't take things from strangers!"

So...

She stayed at home, so that she won't be eaten by the scary monsters.
She didn't dare to have any sort of contact with people that she didn't know.
Because it is a dangerous world out there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She is now a young adult, her mother continues to advise her...

"Don't simply help strangers that you do not know!"

"Why?? Shouldn't we assist those who are in need?"

"But, it is a dangerous world out there. You will never know how evil people can be. Even an old lady can hypnotize you, even a young child can betray your trust, even a helpless looking men can be dangerous...."

"Then, what should I do? It's not possible for us to not lend a helping hand when we are asked to, right?"

"Well... sometimes we just need to protect ourselves. When you wind down your car window thinking it's just a helpless guy seeking for direction, he could be pouring acid to your face. When you led an old lady to her "house", she could be leading you to a house full of evil men. When you smell the "perfume" the salesperson recommends, you could be fainting right after. It is a dangerous world...."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So she thinks to herself, because it is a dangerous world, so she cannot assist people even if she wants to for fear that the person might not be as helpless as he/she looks. Because it is a dangerous world so she cannot trust anyone except herself.

Because it is a dangerous world......
How pathetic has our world becomes????
...

Still, she chooses to believe strangers who are in need, because she of her faith in the human race. But then again, that statement is doubtful because sometimes she can easily believe in what strangers said, but not those who are closer to her.

Contradictor, she is.

Hat Yai Marathon 2011

2011-06-01T02:41:00.001+08:00

I thought yesterday was 1st of June. Apparently I am only flying off on Thursday (tomorrow).

P/S: Read only if you are extremely bored and interested in mundane things that happened to a 23yo gal in HatYai.

It was an impromptu trip. 1 minute decision. Who can say 'no' to a free trip right? It was Great Eastern's 20th Anniversary. Few thousands of them headed to Hat Yai by flight, car, but mostly bus. I was with the majority. Faster ask me how long it took from Puchong GE Agency to Hat Yai's Diamond Hotel?

18 FREAKING HOURS.

Plus two more hours and we can reach The States. (Ripley's Believe It Or Not). Faster ask me why it took us so long to reach!

THE BUS DRIVER GOT LOST.

Can you believe it? The bus company is Lionstar by the way. Please ban the company. We call the driver Mr. Bird. Vege Bird. Get it?

One of the main thing I looked forward to do in Hat Yai was to participate in the annual Hat Yai marathon. See, that's me getting all excited and prepared at 4a.m. in the morning. Actually no, that was after the run. But I don't have a before picture so that has to do.

Before this, I was absolutely certain that I heard someone saying that this is a short marathon and that it is 3km worth of distance. In my mind I was thinking: What?! 3km sap sap soi lah. That's like my normal distance every time I jog in the park nearby my place.

At the starting point, I was asking the gals that I just known casually how far is the distance for this marathon, just to confirm.

"Oh, it's 13km."
"Huh? You mean 3km?"
"No... It's 13km..."
"WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I AM NOT RUNNING ANYMORE. I WANNA GO HOME. BYE! TUT-TUT! DIAMOND HOTEL PLS THANKYOUS!"

No I didn't say that. But imagine my uber-lightning-awestruck face when the cruel fact sink in. My cousin evilly told me that it's just a "1" addition to the "3" mah. Sap sap soi lah. He's obviously talking in alien language because I cannot understand him one bit.

3....2.....1.... START! I was running my dear life and I think it was only 0.5km and I started to slow down. After 2km, everyone seemed to be running pass me. (I was among the front few at the starting point). 3km... confirm I am last few already! 4km... I am dying I am dying. I cannot already lah. Can die! 4.5km.... two pick-up passed by me fetching a lot of gals behind -_- The kind-hearted Thai driver slowed down and smiled at me, expecting me to be one of the gals behind his pick-up. I grinned and gave him a big thumbs up and OK sign.

Oh, did I mentioned? There was a Leong Po Po beside me by then. She was shouting at the driver saying, WE CAN DO IT. WE DON'T NEED in Mandarin. So, off the drivers go. Then the Leong Po Po started to chit-chat with me.

Leong Po Po: We can do it. What's the point of participating if we don't run finish? We have to get the badge. We run for health, it doesn't matter if we're among the last few as long as we finish the run. Hey, let's run together! Both of us walk together then time will passed very fast.

Me: OK. *smiles*

My mind: Die man die. Her definition of run = walk. Walk together means cannot even jog or run anymore. Fyi, she was walking by then and I was too.

Leong Po Po: Guess how old am I?

Me: Uh... 50-ish?

Leong Po Po: I am 70-ish already! Nowadays some youngsters are not even up to my standard. mumbo jumbo mumbo jumbo.

My mind: *kena arrows kao kao*

5km... The people behind us are all up on the pick-up. 6km.... 8km.... there's barely anyone around anymore. 10km... 12km... ONE MORE KM ONLY! joy oh joy!

Leong Po Po: Hey, there's a petrol station there. The toilet is cleaner there.

Me: OK... I will wait for you here.

My mind: T____T

13km!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY OH FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I AM SUPERWOMAN. I OWN YOU. I SURVIVED 13KM MARATHON. BUAWAHAHHAHAHAHA! *dance around* I cannot remember the exact time I took but it was nearly 3 hours.

Ugly fact that I do not wish to share: It only took the winner 1 hour and normal human beings 2 hours to complete everything.

So yeah, it was pretty empty when I reach but there was still this band that plays the drum and sings and makes me feel like I am the Queen of Marathon when I reach.

And so, I got my badge, my certificate, and a body full with swollen muscles that lasted up to this very minute. It was quite an experience thou.

I am feeling tired all of a sudden and there are more photos that I wish to share. Enough wordy words. Let the pictures talk :)

Local kuihs. Damn nice. It's crispy on the outside and fills of pumpkin with white, soft, sticky coconut-ish thing.

The awesome place where GE organized their 20th Anniversary Dinner. Even the Thai government attended btw.

Fishballs on the menu. They were no normal fishballs. Probably because I was starved to death due to the long boring speeches.

All the Tut-tuts outside waiting

I have to dedicate my uppermost gratitude to my cousin for inviting me to this awesome-life-worth-remembering trip. Total journey spent on bus to and fro: 18km+10km

Oklah, minus the crazy journey, it was fun, fun, fun meeting new awesome people, walking around in an alien country, being independent, massage..... I love my current life. I wish I can just stay like this forever. Kuching in less than 2 days time!

C'ya. Have a great day :)

雖然離開了你的時間

比一起還漫長

我們總能補償

因為中間空白的時光

如果還能分享

也是一種浪漫

關係雖然不再一樣

關心卻怎麼能說斷就斷

我最親愛的　你過的怎麼樣

沒我的日子　你別來無恙

It's Got to Stop

2011-05-16T11:41:00.002+08:00

I am living a life I am not proud of. Time seems to pass by restlessly. The gals are in Thailand.
I think I'm having hallucination.
Is it Monday today?

10.45a.m.

"Da da da dummmm................ da da da dum......."

"Hello...?"

"What are you doing now Sharon Kong!"

"Sleeping..."

"What time is it! Sleep so much for what. Wake up and chat for a bit."

"I am tired...."

"Have you found a job yet?"

"Nope...."

"When are you planning to find one?"

*squeeze the little brain juice left*
"next week...?"

"Where are you now?"

"KL..."

"So nice ah you, not around your papa but use your papa's money to survive"

"haha...."

Someone please save me from this terrible, terrible disease....

Thailand Travel Tips

2011-05-07T01:36:00.002+08:00

Thailand 101

1. Bring a pair of sunglasses and a cap. It's freaking hot there. Remember your sun block too.

2. Pack minimal luggage if you want to go there to shop. Big luggage bag, minimal stuff. Everything can be shared if you are going in a group.

3. 6 days 5 nights. I spent around 10,000 baht (excluding flight, tour, food, and hotel). But I spent some on shows (770 baht per show), parasailing (350 baht), around 1,500 baht stolen by thief, snacks and a lot of other stuff.

4. Bring a backpack and carry it in front instead of back. If not, they are going to slash your bags and you're going to end up losing your precious belongings like me.

5. Bring only 2 set of clothes max, maybe plus a set of pajamas. Because if you're there to shop, just wear your new clothes lah!

6. Thai people love to con tourist's money. So, bargain, bargain, BARGAIN! The cheapest I bought can go up to 60 baht (top) and 100 baht (shoes) at Pratunam Market. But mostly the normal price for clothes range from 100 baht to 200 baht . 280 baht for pretty dresses. They have retail price if you buy more than 3 pieces. So, it's always good to shop together.

This is just half of it :D
In my defense, I gave half of them to my mom and sis.

7. Try the local spicy instant noodle. Too bad I forgot the brand. But, it's damn nice and spicy.

8. Bring a calculator. Record your spendings. That's just my habit, it's up to you really.

9. Wear a pair of comfortable shoes because you're going to walk a lot. Bring along a bottle of water.

10. Try Thai massage if you never try before. Very comfortable :)

11. In Thailand, every service have to be tipped. Yes, even massage, taxi, tour guides....

12. The receptionist told me that it is safer to take a cab than a tuk tuk in Thailand. Because tuk tuk-er tends to bring you round and round and con your money. Cab is much more safer and cheaper. Believe it or not. From Centre Point (near Platinum Mall) to PatPong night market we only spent 80 baht, but apparently 100 baht for tuk tuk.

13. Bring your camera and start snapping around when you reach :D

Special Request: Girls, take photo with Mr. McD when you are there. ><

One, Two, Three...

2011-04-30T01:29:00.000+08:00

1. I was updating myself with Facebook and blogs, and I realize I've missed the Fraser trip and going to miss the Thailand trip with the girls. Awwh :(

2. Aili Ng, you are not a goldfish. Try sticky notes and jot down everything you do and whatever are supposed to remember.

3. I took stupid photos like this with my phone when I was bored at home with nobody to talk to. Yes, still grieving over my phone and all the photos and contacts inside :(

4. I had the sudden thought of buying a canggih camera before I went to Thailand. Now I am stuck between a phone or a camera.... :S

Centre Point @ Bangkok, Thailand

5. I don't know if I should stick with flying to KL on 3rd May. Or, throw the ticket and book another on 10th May... Or... Fly to KL for interview then fly back to Sibu then fly to KL again? Arghhh so complicating. Don't want to think.

6. Mom asked me to remember to do something for her just now. I told her that my ears are on holiday. Whee~!

They have a kitchen too. You can actually cook there. Awesomeness! :)
By the way, this is a room for two! :D

7. My 6 days 5 nights trip in Bangkok had been a really hectic one. I guess it would be more fun to enjoy the huge hotel rooms with people you know. There's always next time :)

If I am not mistaken, they have a jacuzzi right beside it.
Too bad I don't get to enjoy it.

8. Read this. He is my hero!

9. I hope I will be semangat to post some tips about going to Thailand, just for the girls. I hope I am not too lazy to do so. I hope.

10. I thought I will stop thinking after the touch of freedom. Apparently not so. My mind is still clouded with random things everyday. I wish I can freeze myself, then shrink myself and a mop, then dig into my brain and start mopping because it must be jumbled up inside.

~~11. I only wanted to do till 10. But I just want to say, I can't sleep! Ugh! Bye.~~

I lost my phone

2011-04-26T14:20:00.001+08:00

I am phone-less right now. My bag got slashed at Pratunam Market in Bangkok without me realizing it. The person managed to take my purse and my handphone. I am in depression state right now. I bought Smart Traveller from AXA thinking that I can claim. But apparently you have to make a local police report in 24 hours to claim. Attempted to make a police report at the Thailand airport yesterday but they said they couldn't do it because it happened outside the airport.

I haven't get replacement for my sim card yet. Hopefully the number is still available.

I want my phone back :(

Credits

At time when I really cannot think and my decision changes every second, I solved it in a childish way.

One piece of A4 paper, four different answers.
Yup, I drew lots.

Me: Guess what? The first draw, the answer is asking me to stick to the original plan.
Bro: Then you should just do it.
Me: I just prayed, I think I will draw lots several times today and see what happens...
Bro: Silly girl, it only works the first time.

But, I am stubborn. Yes, I drew more lots.

Me: 3 times. The answer remains. Is it God talking to me in His way?

I have decided.
Don't put your life on hold just because of other people - Aili Ng

Stop Asking

2011-03-27T02:44:00.000+08:00

I remember the reasons I jumped straight in when I got an offer nearby my place.

1. Because I couldn't get rid of the feeling of being rejected by something I really wanted.
2. Because I was too bored.
3. Because I couldn't stand people asking, so what's your plan, which line are you going into, yadayadayada....

Stop asking me.
I have no plan for now.
Planning every step of my life is too tedious, and it's sad for people who do that.

So, stop asking.
I will go wherever I want to, whenever I want.

Sakit

2011-03-19T17:34:00.000+08:00

Mom: Maybe your engine rosak already. That's why it's time for you to rest and change your engine oil.

Yes. I am sick. I managed to stay for half day in the office to complete some work before I visit the doctor.

Me: I am having a fever. I feel hot and cold the whole day.
Doctor: *check temperature* It's okay. You don't have a fever anymore. You'll be OK soon.
Me: !@#$%^&* screw you. My head is burning like hell and you say i'll be ok soon?!

Ok, I didn't tell that to the doctor. It's all in my mind. I haven't been so sick for a long long time. Never alone. You know how mind wanders when you're sick and you're home alone and you don't have the energy to cook and even pizza hut decides to fail you by saying store closed. The whole day I only had a cup of Milo and some biscuits. The whole day my head was burning non-stop. The only thing that came to my mind later on was I am going to die alone in this apartment and nobody would know.

That was when I decided to send SOS to my cousin.

Me: Hey, are you in KL?
Cousin: Yeah, why?
Me: I am sick.
Cousin: Haha I am sick too... You want me to fetch you over?
Me: *tears of joy* I will really appreciate that....

It's a blessing to have someone close to you around. Thank you God.
I am still alive.

Lastly, happy birthday little bro <3

Crap. I am getting addicted ><

Your fault, Ai!

You Should Have a White Laptop

You may seem quiet and withdrawn, but you're paying attention to every single thing around you.
You intuitively understand people. You are very observant and are always collecting data.

You are a complex and deep person. You seek meaning and purpose in every part of your life.
You can be a wallflower at times. You don't feel comfortable in large crowds of any sort.

OK. I got the hint.

Cempedak or Nangka

2011-02-20T23:42:00.000+08:00

What is the difference?

I can never differentiate them apart.

I love them both.

I took time to google tonight to solve the puzzle.

This is nangka.

Nangka can be really sweet if you get the really good honey ones.

And this, is what I have been craving for - cempedak.

It is more lembik (soft) compared to nangka.

Send one to my house please.

*drools*

No turning back

I've told you how bad my hair was previously right?

So I went back to Kim's this morning and told the boss what happened.

After something like a millisecond consideration,

I made a decision I hope I'll not regret.

Oh yeah, I chopped off my hair.

Well... technically my hair stylist did.

FOC.

Bad hair salon experience

Credits (2011)

I have tried dye-ing my hair green last year.

But it turned out to be... light brown.

Credits (2011)

I permed my hair this year.

But 50% of my hair miraculously turned straight after only one day.

It has been a week.

My curls are all gone.

My hair is so screwed up dry.

I'm losing my faith in hair salon.

Remind me to go natural next time.

Have been having fever on and off for three consecutive days.

It's a miracle I haven't taken any MC yet.

Quote my colleague: Even if we are sick, we also cannot afford to take MC now.

Wonderful.

I am home sick.

I love and hate this song because it makes me think so much of home.

A lot of times I will feel like giving up when I cannot achieve what I want. I suppose it's a sign of weakness. Or maybe, I never feel the need to go all out to get there. A conversation with a friend makes me think that maybe the issue has always been me. Maybe I give up too easily, maybe I never bother to try harder, maybe I do not care enough, maybe I do not appreciate what I have, maybe I complain too much. I will give myself some time, until Chinese New Year. After that, it's decision time. No more pulling out, no more postponing. I have to think of what I want. I have to set a goal and move towards it. I have to strive harder. But, why do I feel so strength-less now. It had only been two days. Sighs. I need more time to dream.

I just read my new year resolution 2010. Items checked - none. Super fail.

New Year Resolution 2011

Fix my teeth, once and for all.
Study more about human personality and body language.
Get a digital DSLR, someone recommend me one!
Travel to a place I've never been before.
Change my whole wardrobe.

That's pretty much it. We shall see how much can I accomplish this year.

Fighto-OH!

After one month, the place resumes its quietness.

I'm still adapting.

The wind is moaning.

The thunder is roaring.

It's quite scary.

I've been thinking about work a lot.

It's not healthy.

OMG!

2010-12-19T01:10:00.002+08:00

That's what I said when 3 human with no sense of direction manage to find their way. It had been a long week, or rather month. From countless meetings and preparation till the actual event. I suppose it went OK despite the almost-heart-attack scene at the end of the annual dinner when everyone starts to grab their ~~presents~~ staff gift under the Christmas tree themselves.

To conclude the whole event, I will never ever want to be the committee for annual dinner anymore. What's the point of working so hard seriously? The whole day I didn't get to eat anything, didn't get to enjoy at all, didn't get to take photo...

Never. Ever.
If I have a choice.

Misunderstandings

2010-12-12T02:00:00.002+08:00

All I can say is... I'm so happy I want to cry. It's like a stone vanish from my heart. Thank you God for giving me courage and stable connection.
It must be a miracle.

Hope the days will be great too because it will be busy, busy, and... busy!

Bad math

2010-12-06T01:17:00.000+08:00

It's 1.11a.m. I don't feel like sleeping yet. Mom's coming tomorrow. The house is still a mess. I did clean up a bit just now. Too lazy to bother about the rest. Hope she won't get heart attack tomorrow.

I just played an online yahoo drawing game. I'm supposed to draw something for the rest to guess. The answer was "48 hours". I drew a clock and wrote "x2" beside "12". I was thinking how come nobody guess it correctly. Finally someone guessed it right. I looked at the chatbox and the person wrote, "12 x 4 = 48".
I feel utterly stupid and quit the game.

It's 1.15a.m. I still don't feel like sleeping yet. I still miss the days when I can sleep in the morning and wake up at night. Maybe I shouldn't linger too much in the past.

Uniqlo

2010-11-21T17:27:00.001+08:00

Finally get to step into the new hot shopping spot in Malaysia - Uniqlo. After so long, the traffic condition in the shop can still be described as "mountain people mountain sea". I bumped into two friends in the shop on Saturday. One came to shop, another is working there currently. That's how hot the spot is.

Winter clothings are all over the shop. Their canggih heatech technology that produces heat automatically is awesomeness for people like Mandy or Ivy who are delicate towards cold. Their wide range of product is no doubt shopping heaven for people who are planning to go overseas (i.e. US) during Christmas. They have mufflers, neck warmers, body warmers, hands warmers, legs warmers, what else? Creative leggings (max 165cm by the way). This is probably the only time I am grateful of my height.

Truth to be told, Uniqlo does not stamp their brand all over the clothes, encouraging their moto of unique styles for everyone. However, I find the pricing a way bit high. I saw a formal plain shirt that costs RM99.90 and I love it T_T I saw another grey jacket with hoodie and I damn suka lah! fmpeasantlife. Sighs.

I am thinking... should I go jogging or not?

Look at weighting scale, look at bed,

The Middle Person

2010-11-17T23:12:00.002+08:00

Often, I find myself to be stuck in the middle of an argument. May it be quarrels between family, friends, colleagues... I don't know about you, but I'm quite fed up. Not wanting to side anyone, means you need to listen to both sides, and try to match them up again. Sometimes I feel like my ears are going to explode soon. I feel like shutting myself up, to get a peace of mind. At times I wonder, why wouldn't they just talk to the person involve. Why would they come to me and talk so much instead of the person involve. How much more can I do for you? Maybe I'm seeping in too much of others miseries. I don't like to be stuck in the middle and not doing anything. Uselessness overload. I'm blocking you out.

Lately, I want to do a lot of things. I want to quit my job and travel to a place which I've never explored. I want to get some exercise as my body is growing sideways alarmingly fast. I want to stay at home and do nothing. I want to do something memorable, useful, eventful, something I'll be proud of. I want to clean up the shattered mirrors in my bathroom that had been there for three days. I want to sweep my messy floor that's scattered with various models of broken handphones. I want to fix my one year and six months handphone. I want to buy a canggih camera. I want to buy a new laptop. I want to learn a new thing. I want to buy a mouse so that I can draw proper pictures using Paint. I want to buy a new fluorescent light for my kitchen. I want to start eating healthy. I want to scream at those people who are so old, yet so childish. But... I always ended up not doing anything. At least that's a tick to my list. Sighs.

Fire Prevention 101

2010-11-04T23:52:00.001+08:00

There was a fire prevention talk at our company today. I felt it's really very informative so I shall share some of the contents with you all, just in case (touch wood).

The number to call for rescue is 112 or 999.
The 3 things you should bring along with you when there's a fire is:

Handphone - to inform people on your location
A bottle of water and a small piece of cloth - to breathe
Torch light - in case there's power failure you can still see your whereabout instead of using your hands to feel around

There are two types of fire extinguishers:

ABC Powder - to use on human
Carbon Dioxide - do not use this on human as it kills the person faster. You basically cut off the person's oxygen with all the CO2.

The correct place to put your fire extinguisher is your living room/dining room/bedroom, definitely NOT kitchen. If your house is double storey then you should put on at the staircase.
The fastest way to save yourself is to roll on the floor.

For your information, if you use sand to save a person from fire, the person might get infection as sand might contain bacteria.

If you cover the person with a blanket, normally people will automatically tap the person's body to put out the fire. It actually causes the fire to spread faster - think about barbecue. Besides, the blanket might stick to the person's skin. There's one case where when the blanket was unwrapped, the skin sticked to the blanket.

The speaker actually showed us the photos of consequences on mis-usage of the saving methods. All of the victims look like aliens. I'm sorry but it's true.

So, be aware of the preventive methods. It might save lives.

2010-11-01T00:03:00.000+08:00

有时候觉得躲在一个小小的地方，没人知道的角落，做些自己想做的事，就算重复一直做也不厌倦。那也许是一种幸福。从来就不喜欢交待，那是一种束缚。

想呀想，转呀转，没有止境的画面。几时才能停止？

怨怨相报，何时了？以和为贵不就能小事化无？可有时候，也许情绪不是那么好控制的。

转呀转，何时止？

好乱。

the awful truth

2010-10-27T23:41:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, I bought a tin of Jacobs biscuits at Tesco because it was on discounted price. When I paid at the cashier, I asked for the free recycle bag (free gift). The cashier told me it was out of stock. But I didn't trust her. I went to the redemption counter and asked the staffs there again. They said the promotion was long over. I felt so cheated.

Only then it struck me, that I'm creeping towards the path of auntie-ness.

How close.

Magic Scent - Pheromones to attract guys

2010-10-17T17:06:00.005+08:00

I cannot resist this weh. People are so desperate nowadays. Magic Scent?! Pheromones that attract guys?! Seriously! OK lah I know it's pretty bad to post this up. But it's is too entertaining to resist. Look on the bright side, I'm promoting for the seller.

Magic Scent - Pheromones to attract guys (Click!)

Dear readers,

Please look at the FAQ, not forgetting the awesomely interesting reviews too. Allow me to extract some interesting facts for your reading pleasure:

(Aromanticshop, 2010)
1. Is Magic Scent halal?
Yes, Magic Scent is synthesis human pheromone with oil-based and 100% non-alcohol carrier.

2. I am homosexual. Can I use Magic Scent?
You can use Sweet & Innocent and Sexy & Sensual to attract men sexually. To attract women sexually you can use Confident & Stylist. Sassy & Lovely and Youthful & Vibrant are used to increase your charisma, make people feel comfortable and more approachable. There are other more sophisticate-synthesized pheromones available for homosexual according to the lab. I may develop it in future base on market needs.

3. Can pregnant women use Magic Scent or does it affect babies?
There are no complains on this topic but based on our experiment, the wearer of Sassy & Lovely and Youthful & Vibrant seems to be popular among children. Confident & Stylish will make will make children stay away from you. (Take note, Mandy!) Sexy & Sensual and Sweet & Innocent may make children excited and refuse to go to bed.

4. What kind of expectations can I have?
You can expect high quality concentrated pheromone products from Magic Scent. It just takes a little while to be good at using them. Some people might see results instantly, but the majority of people will get better results over time. Pheromones are more of a tool than a magic wand. You have to learn to work with them. What you have there is a top of the line tennis racket. It takes practice to make the most of it. I will enclose an instructional manual, advised by professional on how to maximize the best effect. The best product requires the best instruction for it to work best!

The above are all copyright by Aromanticshop (2010).

So... Magic scent, anyone?

it's all about work

2010-09-29T23:51:00.000+08:00

Actual working life is different from my past perception of it. In the workforce, it's alike war. Except that it's a never ending one. The arrows are invisible and fast thanks to the advancement of our technology. I always thought I'm a careful person. But the blunders that I made so far, said otherwise. There were times when I would ask myself, if I have chosen the wrong career. Should I give up? Then, I would remind myself again and again. Regret is not an option. Moving forward and challenging what's next are the aim.

The nature of my career requires a high level of confidentiality and cautiousness. Somehow I think it limits me in terms of socialization. I feel that if I don't socialize, then maybe I won't spill any unintended beans, if you know what I mean. Haih. I'm so tired everyday. Once I told my colleague, I think I couldn't smile anymore. She asked why? I answered, I think I lost it gradually.

I hope not.

My working time is 8.30a.m. to 6p.m. So far, there's not a day that I go home on time, yet. No, the boss never ask me to stay later than the actual time. It's just that so far it seems like everyone has been staying till at least 6.30p.m. I don't have better things to do at home, so why not stay back and do some work in peace (without the constant annoying phone calls). I have been going home at around 7 to 7.30p.m. since the first day of work. No, there's no overtime claim.

So, today, as usual... I stayed back to finish off some work. Suddenly, my boss said:

"Sharon, why are you still here? It's already 7p.m."
"Is it?"
"Yes, go home! You can never finish your work. Go home, don't stay here."

So, what to do? My colleague had been reminding me to go home since 6p.m. Now the boss also ask me to go home. -_- Terpaksa go home lah. Padahal, the boss and colleague were still working when I went home. -_-

Esok half day. There goes half of my Saturday!

You Are Green Tea

Surprise! You're not a coffee drink at all. You're way too mellow for that.
You are a homebody, and you love to cozy up with a blanket, a book, and a nice cup of tea.

You prefer the calmer side of life, and you refuse to participate in the rat race.
You treasure peace, quiet, and your sanity. There's no such thing as too much calm for you.

Are You a Cappuccino or a Frappuccino?

Helped out at the travel fair for 4 consecutive days 9a.m. to 9p.m. wasn't all that fun. Especially when I had to distribute brochures under the hot sun and repeat "X company travel fair at X place" the whole time. I had sore throat after one day -_-

My kawans said I disappear after I started working. The thing is, I feel damn kao tired after I finish work. I haven't been on-ing my msn for weeks. The only thing I do is Facebook for a bit then watch online talk show for a while - to keep in contact with the real world xD So, if you need me, either SMS me or FB msg me. :)

Headless Chicken

(GoogleImage, 2010)

My sister says I'm hunting for jobs like a headless chicken. I guess I am. I don't know what to prioritize. In the end, I just apply for whatever I can get and reject after calls/interviews. Such pointless move(but definitely boost my self-esteem I tell you, lol), I have to agree with the sister. So, I'm starting all over again, smarter this time.

Wish me luck :)
