Grrr....... my blog entry crashed!! Bah!! Lazy to write out all over again...... try anyway.

Went to Cindy's house in the morning. Passed her the present I've been keeping for anyone who wanted it. Got the OVAs too!! Yay!! Yay! yayayayayayayyayayayayayayayayayya! *jumps around* Now to find a time to watch it....... parents hogging TV.....

Spent the morning at Cindy's house, chatting and raving over stuff. Surprise Guest: Yu San, who was in the neighbourhood. She left soon though. Watched the last episode of Samurai X there too. It's english dubbed and I didn't like it. Subtitles are always better :). Kaoru is NOT Cori!! Kaoru is Kaoru!!

Later went for lunch with Cindy at Mid valley before she meets up with Alan and his brother. Went to Kenny Rogers. Had lots of trouble paying!! Like they don't want to get paid :). Cindy thanks for lunch!!!

Looked around for the supposed Xbox model and PS2. But the Xbox one wasn't around anymore. Oh well, I'll see it soon enough.

Next stop, 1Utama...... window shopping again...... sigh......nothing to get there.....

Last stop before home: Atria. Got a new game!!! Got some CD holders too. Whoopee?? Not playing it yet....... got Parasite Eve to play first :).

Thus ends my very abrupt blog....... I hate retyping and this is what happens when I retype.

The wait is extended!!! Last day of training is completed.... but then the second interview is on Monday. Monday monday...... why is monday so far away? Worse still, we'll (Yu San and I) will know whether we are hired only on that day. If 5 days of attending their 'training' is wasted...... I will be.......very very very pissed. If they ask me to find a client before hiring me....... they'll really get it from me. Wait lar..... the Death Star superlaser will start firing.

But then so far they have given indication that they won't ask us for money.

This morning quite boring....they wanted us to do mock trading but then the market very sluggish. Always hovering around the same level. I made........3 points!! hahah... means I got 30 USD. I'm so not good at investing.....

Yay!! Tomorrow I get to bug Cindy for the stuff I wanted to pinjam! Whoopeee!! Must go and buy some CDs for myself to burn too :). The more I think about it, the more I want tomorrow to come. This craziness is.......fun!!! Funfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfun.

*Slaps self*

Can't let myself get too crazy... may not be able to take it.

Damn...... my toilet flush got problems..... *grumble* have to fix..... find parts.

Lilian!! Bon voyage!!! Have a safe journey home!

Hani...... I hope you are having "fun" with your Tariq.

Not much to blog about today......sheesh..... maybe if I wasn't so worn out.

Can't enter much today. Brain sort of fizzing out. Eyes having trouble focusing. Means I'm quite tired now. But I have still some stuff to search for!! Must tahan....

One more day of training to go........ the last mile..... it's so near yet so far. Tired, but it's only one more day!

What am I supposed to write? Concentration habis.....spelling also a bit gone now.

Oh, met Samantha for lunch. Whoopee... at that time. Now very groggy.

I think I stop now....... listening to Sakura Wars....nice........

note: I can't believe I said "chance!!" like an anime out loud today during training.

Just read some blogs...... first to Choon Ling... yes I do read your blog.

Next....... to a certain Kaoru-san....... *clenches fist* if you didn't own the gate of combat I would really choke you right now!! I'll settle with you on the CS grounds. Gate-to!! OPEN!! Arrow of light!!

Senan just got sicker. Now add massive headaches to his illness. Thus he's been sleeping for long long long hours a day.

My Touch n Go card!!! What the fish happened??? Where's my money???? Why the heck is my balance -0.60? I had more than 30 bucks in it this morning!

I used my card through the two toll booths to Bandar Baru Klang today, but I couldn't get out of the Jusco car park nor use it for the toll booths on the way back. When I got home I went down to the Petronas store and asked them to check my card...... and thus the result in the previous paragraph. Yu San, looks like have to use your card until I get down to the Touch n Go office and get it settled. My mom wants to check it at the PLUS station near my house tomorrow, but I doubt if they would have the data on the card's account so I may need to hop by the office in Old Klang Road on Saturday after I meet Cindy.

So can I say this? I've been robbed!!!

Back to the training. Well, it's more interesting than yesterday because of the questions given to us to do. Hahah..... but then as usual there were things I didn't understand. For example, I totally didn't know the fella was talking about Surveys on condoms which made everyone laugh. Can I help it if I didn't know what the heck it's called in Mandarin nor Cantonese?

Pattern so far: As the number of training days roll by, lunch break becomes shorter and shorter, then the time we are released also becomes later and later. Hope the pattern doesn't continue. traffic builds up so fast!! Monday I reached home at 5.10, Tuesday 5.45 and today 7.10!!

But then.....found an anime shop near the office. Too bad it caters to the Chinese reading and speaking group. They have a nice collection of anime and manga there. Too bad no Sakura Wars..... I would have given them business...... Lucky be the fella who tries to sell me Sakura Wars stuff. Yes..... I'm clinically insane.

Pleh!!! YUCK!!! Ummmblah!!!

That's what my tastebuds are reacting to right now. Had some sort of bitter herbal soup today "to prevent me to get sick" says my mom. I hate that stuff....... nyeh!!

2nd day of training.... what happens one may ask..... basically, sit down, listen and answer any questions directed at you. It's worse than class!! No breaks or anything except lunch. Boring like hell if the same point is repeated over and over again. And my puny mind could only process so many Cantonese words in a day. Eventually brain started to lag. Hahaha.... only 3 more days......must ...........tahan......

Surprise surprise...... Cindy actually called :) hahaha.... but I couldn't really talk to her because my fingers were oily from the KFC chicken. Sorry Cindy :). Ooops!! I forgot to give Yu San her money!! EEeeeepsss!!

Temptation!!! Yu San and I found a PS2 in Klang!!! I think it's priced at RM1200. I want!! Looks cool!!! But.....but...... I must........ wait a couple of months to save money.....wahh!! So mean!! Like dangling ice cream in front of my face when dieting (realistically, I don't diet).

Today's You're Under Arrest was quite good!! Natsumi and Miyuki carrying out a bank heist! Hahah.... I loved the scene where Miyuki electronically picked all the lock of the main vault, then opened the vault door and found an steel gate chained and padlocked with many locks.
Miyuki: (covers her eyes) I can't deal with such primitive technology.
Natsumi: Okay! My turn! (high fives with Miyuki)
*Natsumi bends the bars and snaps all the chains*
Natsumi: There! (manager faints)

Senan got his MUFY (his course) Certificate today........ through Pos Laju. As expected, it was folded into two! Poor fella, his cert so nice become so wrecked. Sunway/Monash tak ada otak ke?

Hey Chee Onn! How's your CS training going on? I forgot to praise you for using the semi-automatic rifle with deadly precision! Hahah... normally people can't kill with that gun. Not many people even consider using that gun. While you are still practicing with the bots on your computer, try to get a feel of the bullet deviation pattern for each gun as you press the fire button. Oh yeah, sorry about not being on the same team often on Sunday. Had to balance the team.

Does anyone know a good Sega emulator? (I admit, it's a long shot)

Notice: Jean Bully me!!! No blenders for you!!

1st day down!! Learnt about the company and what it does. Looky.... another Index market dealing company. What were the odds of that? Oh well, as long as they don't ask for money I'll be content. However, I'm still in doubt about something...... which position am I in?? I'm probably the only one there that doesn't know.

Met a lot of Yu San's classmates there at the place. Wahhhh.... I only can say this... her classmates....... RAJIN!!! No results go look for job. I would have waited.....and waited.......and waited....... and waited....... (goes on until faints due to lack of oxygen)

Funny thing though, they conduct the training mostly in Chinese. Cantonese to be the most favourite language of choice. A total of 3 different people came in today to brief us. Busy aren't they? One taking over the other. They asked whether anyone didn't really understand Cantonese, I raised my hand, then they asked whether anyone didn't understand Mandarin, Yu San raised her hand. Hahahah... but they didn't want to speak in English at all, so they used Cantonese. Don't worry... my cantonese listening skills isn't that bad..... I understand the basic jist of everything.

Lunch break would be about one and a half hours everytime. Hmmm... Cindy, when's your lunch and how long is it? Maybe can lunch together......(have to see distance also... Shah Alam not my area!!). If not maybe on a Saturday we meet in the morning when you no work, I no work.

The trip to Bandar Baru Klang didn't take as long as we thought. Other than the jam in front of my housing area, SS2 and Motorola, the rest of the way was smooth. The day ended early so we didn't meet traffic on the way back either. Good good.

Note: I will give my job details later when everthing is settled. All at once.

Terence has yet to call at the time I'm typing this blog. I think he's going to ask for another late pickup. Sigh.... I am so happy that I didn't let my mom convince me that Accountancy was to be my career choice.

My brother got more sick too...... he's now not speaking much.... ulcer I think. Besides I think he went to see the doctor today. Fever medicine on the counter. Fabian must remain strong...... must not fall sick.

Tomorrow's Day one of training in Bandar Baru Klang. Hopefully I get to pull it off. Even though it's a totally different field, I should be able to do it. I'm still young. Boleh change anytime :)

Anyway, in the afternoon, went with Chee Onn to the cybercafe. He was keen on playing CS again. So he ajak again. Met Sandra and Daniel there and later joined by Yu San and Tan. I played very well today. Ruriko outfought Kaoru!! Yay!!! This means I actually managed to kill Yu San a lot of times today. I haven't been able to do that in AGES!! Ruriko's nick was fun to use..... ahahha..... Gate-to! OPEN!! However, my long range skills still have much to be desired. Oh well... it's a good game! I am estatic!! Oh yes, there was this guy playing with the nick "Legolas". I killed him........ 3 times......in a row!! Legolas fans are bound to kill me now *grin!*

IJA repayed my Magnum debt today...... so now..... Ee Ko Fen still owes me!! I'm happy. Ice cream......... ice cream............ ICE CREAM!! He also dropped off some photos for myself and to pass to Sam and Yu San. Must remember to bring it!! Nanti it collect dust like the INTIBALL photos.

Arrrr!! My cat sat on my CERT!!!! *sniff* (holds up cert with an indentation in the middle, streaming tears)

I'm high dammit!! I'm so high I can't think what to write in the blog....... listening to Sakura Songs somemore...... CINDY!! I want the OVAs!!! PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEE!! Coming weekend??? *Blink!! Blink!!*
