People Can Go Crazy

0

Seriously speaking, today I walked around the USM campus atleast 4 times. Starting from 10 am. I walked about the campus, trying to settle business. Called 3 long distance numbers. Managed to corner my vice dean and talked bout next semester. While all that, I was talking on the phone with the house broker, trying to land myself a room or a house even. Waaa it was damn tiring… think I lost more fat today, compared to the joggings I’ve been doing Grin
Gonna go and eat some chips, fattening chips… Smile

0

It was a very bad day today, almost everything went wrong, actually just one thing.. but it affects my entire being. So now I’m cutting short my stay in KL. Just gonna go to the wedding and head straight back to Kelantan. X( Now I’m a bit depressed, but not for long. As I always do bounce right back .. la la la Smile Ohhh how dreadful this is.
Next on list to do. Get myself some accomodation till the end of July. The RA thingy will end in July. Then I’m trying to move in at some other place. We’ll see if I can arrange that. Huhu Smile God, I’m bumped with things to settle before the end of the week!! 8-} Gonna go crazy after this Smile Hermm gonna go and buy myself something good to eat Grin that always do the trick. Not Ice Cream though…. I’ve lost my love for Ice-Cream. My teeth is becoming sensitive to the cold. Huhu. Eyp happy holidays to those on school holidays

Hey ho people, it is tuesday again… hehehe, I had to redo the application form for the workshop. Then I went to my favourite restaurant to have something to eat. This is my favourite spot coz the makcik is very friendly…. and u would never guessed that she was once a lecturer… and used to live in the states… Smile I have a knack for finding out things about people. D So had myself some nasi and ayam goreng.. then talked to her, hehe… so I got myself another part time job. Smile Hehe that would be nice.. a night job… doesnt exactly interferes with my RA job.
Planning to go to KL next week. My relative is gettin married, which one? I dont exactly recall .. ekekekek sooo bad of me Devil Gonna go and buy the tickets this afternoon.. maybe right after this… Watched Phone Booth last night.. but I slept around 30 minutes after it started… eheheh seems I’m always sleepy when I watch a VCD… my sleeping pills .. ekekke Grin Aight better stop now…. thinking of going jogging after I buy the tickets… lalalala

New Haircut

0

Slept quite late today, I actually slept at 4am. Then woke up again around 6 and couldn’t sleep until 8am. I only woke up around 11am. Proceeded to my work. Which was to redo the whole report, and not forgetting the application form thingy. Had to reformat the application form so it would be easier to fill in. Smile Got everything right about 2.30pm. Went to see the lecturer to talk about the application form. Needed more info to get it done right.
Next on my list of things to do today was get myself a haircut. So that’s what I did exactly. Got myself a new haircut courtesy of the Head Hunters (that’s the name of the saloon). Cheaper than the mamak barbers outside USM Grin Hehehehe best.. the head feelssss much lighter. And I’m thinking rather clearly. Got a friend to go with me jogging that afternoon. It was refreshing. Why shouldn’t it… Joggin at the top of a hill is always refreshing…. nice view of the sea tooooo. That’s what I did all day…. pretty mundane.. nothing exciting at all…..
Now what? Don’t know, currently I’m in a kind of loop 8-} Doing ordinary everyday stuff… boring… I can’t stop thinking.. what kind of job am I going after next? Am I going to work in Kelantan? or stay in Penang, or make a bigger leap, go straight to KL? but I have this thing about being in big city, sure as hell u get a lot of entertainment but still I prefer the rural setting, where you can just lounge and relax… maybe work on a garden in the backyard or frontyard for that matter… am I pursuing my field which is by right Aquatic Biology. Or do I still want to diversify my skill set? I already know I can work in a technical setting, there was that webdesigner cum graphic design stuff. It was fun while it lasted. I know that I am capable of being a research assistant. Heck, that’s my current job.. at least till July when the contract will end… yeah I’m in it for the experience… I need to better my human skills.. I’m quite rusty in that region. Ermph ok that’s all gonna go and test the Initial D vcd that I made.
Anyway here’s something I picked up from zero’s page.. heheh

What A Girl Wants

Weee ok la, the movie was quite ok, though it is sort of another Princess Diaries, another Cinderella movie with a twist… They even mentioned Cinderella for god sake, here’s the not so direct quote Smile
Daphne: “Hey step sis, you’ve seen Cinderella, I’m Cinderella, you are the evil step sister, I’m gonna win”
Clarissa: “huh…… ”
That’s how vain the movie was Smile but it sure was funny… now how about some thriller? Phone Booth starring Collin Farrel is next on the list..
You might be wondering why the heck am I writing about these movies when the hype is all about Matrix 2 and X-Men 2.. that is the reason.. all those hypes.. I’ve seen both, I’ve enjoyed both… but I aint gonna say a word edgewise.. I’ll leave that to other people… Grin
Meanwhile I’m currently occupied making some VCD out of my Initial D sets.. Anybody want’s a copy?

Pretty Dull Day

0

What happened today? Exactly jack!! Nothing nil… the only highlight of the day is I went to a Pasar Malam and bought dinner and a few vcd. Cheap 2 for RM5. These crackdown is good!! Smile in a crazy way that is. No I’m not pro-piracy and not anti-piracy either. For me pirated VCD are a method for me to test out the movie, whether it would be worth it for me to see it at the cinema or even buy a DVD of it. Smile Ok, gonna join the guys watch some VCD. 8-}

Flying High

1

The birds above flying,
high above they are,
there they are soaring,
not a care for us here,
I wish I can fly with them,
for I want to be without care,
What a wonder to be with them,
Flying, soaring as what they are,
My hearts beat faster,
how it long to be at peace,
wishing that it too had the power,
the power of flight, of peace,
I wish I can fly away,
so I can leave all my trouble,
so I can go far away,
away from the material plane.

Hectic To The Max

Didn’t sleep last night was slaving myself doing a report for the lecturer. I only got an hour of sleep i-) at around 7am then got up to get ready to go to the meeting with the lecturer. The meeting ended at 12 pm. Wow was I bumped. Was really tired then before the meeting started, when the meeting ended I was kind of awake and didnt need to sleep anymore but after the Jumaat prayer I slept a bit. Then got up around 3.30, it felt refreshing
The work was real tiring transcribing tapes all night thru. I kept drinking nescafe, then suddenly I realised I had finished a jug full of it. perghhh no wonder I could stay awake 8-} Took frequent breaks in between to freshen up myself. Phew.. The meeting with the lecturer was fine Grin Had quite a stimulating discussion, it piqued my interest to no end of how, and why these kid starts to smoke at an early age. As early as standard 1, not just any age!! But that could be left for another day.
So here I am in the lab, preparing to redo the report in another form. Smile The lecturer finally decided to keep the quotes in Malay and not translate it into English. Oh well, this is tiring but then the job is satisfying. Haven’t felt satisfied doing anything for a while now. Ok I better stop now Smile Wanna try a hand at the photo gallery. And then gonna go jogging with the guys again. Haven’t used the leg much since I sent my bicycle home to Kelantan. Toodelooo B-)

It’s a fine day

A fine day indeed it is… but I woke up late Smile slept at 3 something last night…. my girl went to the midnight show… was a bit worried.. Pray alaaa you know lah how kl is at night… anything can happen. Now I need to finish up my report to submit to the lecturer tomorrow. Full report complete with transcripts and general assessment stuff. Wow this is gonna be hell. Still have 2 tape to transcribe. That would be fun Big Smile But now I can’t move, too stuffed from the lunch. Grin so here I am updating the blog… while my friend is playing with the cat… yep we now have a cat in the lab. We call him ‘rangga’, yeah the guy from AADC. The cat looked like a rangka (rangga) Grin when we first found him. Looking soooo starved. Now he’s a lot fatter. I’ll put up a pic of him soon.
On another note just talked to my girl. She went back home at her lunch hour. Smile I miss her very much. Haven’t been able to chat with her for quite a while, she’s been staying over at her aunt’s.  Mad Miss those little chats with her actually, missed her presence… Smile I better stop. this is a topic that can hold me for hours.

I’m back

It’s been a while since I blogged, it’s not that I don’t want to… but I can’t, simply because I was trying to change hosting… now everything is completed… I got a new hosting. Got back my domain, which I didnt renew for 3 years I think.. it feels good to finally get my own domain n hosting.. no more constraints.. Smile Got it at a good price too..
So what happened in the past week or so? I am now out of my old company, now I’m back as a freelancer…. managed to take a project from the company Devil . I’m working exclusively as a Research Assistant at the School of Communication. Hope this job will broaden my horizon a bit. Been getting good job advices Smile and I have more free times, because the job doesn’t have a strict working hour. Just a meeting once or twice a week, which is way fine for me… I think that’s all.
