Alrighty then, where was I?

Today's internet connection is fine. Must be because there is absolutely no one online at the moment. Gee... is there something going on that I don't know about? That might be the case because I am very very blur about the current happenings of social society out there.

Oh well, let's cap off today's happenings. Went to Nina's house in the morning as Nina, Yu San, Hani, Julie and Tan were there having breakfast. Had mine before I left the house so I only took a single curry puff while they chatted and watched Card Captor Sakura on TV. My oh my.... I still dislike Malay dubs.

Hmmm.... Yu San's blog also made me realise that I too have not played CS as frequent as I used to. It's due to the fact that I'm no longer a student I guess. In fact, last week I only played once....yesterday when I went to college to vent my frustrations due to that job I tried out on Thursday.

Anyway,after nina's breakfast thingie, we headed to Tan's house to play the board game Talisman. It's a rare game to find in Malaysia because the company that manufactures it is based in the UK (fantastically popular there) but never really caught on in Malaysia. In fact, very very very few companies were actually selling their products around here....even more so now since the 1997 slowdown and the pound reaaaalllly outweighed our ringgit. But then it's a change. Not my first time playing, but I never really played it much anyway. (not since high school)

Sigh.... Yu San won the first round....lucky girl lar she!! But then we all refused to let Tan win either, all gang up on him when he was an all powerful chaos warrior. Beat him silly did Julie and Yu San. Yu San was an Assassin (surprised? nah...), Julie a Fire Wizard, Nina a Druid (who can change alignments depending on mood) and a wood elf, Tan played the Chaos Warror and an Astronomer, I played the Sorceress (Yu San suggested I take it, but I picked at random!! It's fate I guess)

It was rather fun going around, getting my brains bashed due to my weak strenght.... hahah...when I got decently powerful, Yu San sudah menang with her super assassin.... bleh!!

I won't go into the lunch story because it would....erm... as lilian says "gimme the heebey jeebies".

On a sadder note, my parents have reverted back to their old ways..... "Fabian!! See this ad?? CALL!!"

On a even sadder note, there seems to be a storm cloud over my head.... mentally not thinking as positive as I normally do. What could it be?? I haven't felt this way for sometime..... geeeeee........ need to psychoanalyse myself I guess....

Not again! Pitas not liking me today......20 minutes left to put this up.....so not going to write much.

Effects from yesterday -> a blister, raw skin, inflamation of toe injury. Tired legs, aching feet and..... THANKFUL not to take it up

Note to all Heaven Sword & Dragon Sabre watchers: Man Man is sooo smart and delightful!! How can Mo Kei resist?

BLERG!!!! I am sooooo tired!!

Let me tell you my day..... woke up at 6.30 am. All fresh and ready. Even had nice breakfast! So semangated! Took the car to the KJ LRT station. Traveled using two trains to get to PWTC. Took taxi to Wisma TCL.

That's all fine....... even arrived early!

I was assigned to observe this guy (named Hoh, top sales agent) throughout the whole day. Guess what we did?? DIRECT SALES!! We were selling cakes to employees of companies within a certain area!!

For 8 looong hours, I walked up and down and up and down stairs to each and every office!! TWICE each office!! After taking orders still have to deliver!!! With a darn trolley!!!

It was sooooo not my style to invade a person's working place and sell stuff to them. And the worst part is, most of them actually don't mind! (no offence but mostly Malays taking time off from work and letting customers fume)

If my dad was the pestered one, he would have us thrown out of the building!

In the end, they offered me a job..... I declined because I can't stand it. So back to the unemployed market. Besides, the commission may be a compensation, but I won't be able to do anything in the evening.....but sleep.

Gosh are my feet tired......

I went for the interview which was scheduled at 3. I didn't know that the TCL building was so far away!!! Sure, I got there about 5 minutes after 3.... but it took me thirty minutes to get there from the LRT station!!!

Not to mention that I spend quite a lot getting there in the first place!! Two LRTs!! I calculated, everyday I would probably spend RM7 travelling!!SNIFF!!

So, currently I have aching feet and a blister on my foot.

Anyway.... I got to the place.....the company is called Pro Direct Sdn Bhd. Filled up an application form and talked to a guy for a short while.....totalling 10 minutes. Not even a proper interview. It's more like telling me about the company. The person in charge wasn't around... so technically nothing could be done about me..... so gave them my resume, they promised to call in the evening.

They called alright........ when I was about to press the bell to make the bus stop!! Arrrr!! I missed one stop!! I had to walk further!!

Okay... they have no more vacancies in the IT department, so they are offering a post as a trainee manager to me. Tmr, I'll be going down to have a briefing about the company and listen to what they have to offer. So far I know it's a five and half day week and 9-5 working time. Sigh.... if I work there I might get lots of excersice... but I plan on taking the bus next time...

Gosh..... I found out my friend, who obtained first class honours....is still jobless!! It's not like she didn't try...... but no reply!! Scary!! Even now I'm moving away from the IT line at the rate I'm going.

Got to start waking up early again........this time to take buses...... I HATE BUSES!!

NINA IS A GREEDY LITTLE GIRL!!

*Ahem* I guess that's a known fact so I won't elaborate.

*reading mail* What's this?? JANICE TAN!!! You are sooooo going to get it for sending me a pig related piccie!! .......... Although it does look funny......but that's not the point!!

Anyway.... I am going for an interview tomorrow. It's very IT related. Don't know exactly what job I'm getting myself into but ah heck....try anyway. The interview is at 3 but since I don't know my way around KL roads, I'll be taking the bus..... pleeeeaaaasssseeeee don't miss me bus!!

I was very excited over a job advertisement on Monday. Management Trainee, 6k to 8k after assignment!! Waaaahhh banyaknya duit!! But then I found out that the "after assignment" means......it's a commission based job and based on sales....dang....tempting but so far I have been very very stubborn over trying to get into the IT line.

Good thing though...... told my parents I was going for an interview..... they were sooo excited and happy they didn't even mention the words "newspaper+when+try" in the same sentence!! hahahah one night of contentment.

Announcement!! I am not going to belanja Nina for the forseeable future!! Someone stop me if I try. Hhahaah... see? I told you I would do it! Jahat kan?

Another thing to rant....... Man Man was framed I tell you!! That STUPID girl is the culprit!! Mo Kei you imbecile!!!! Use your brains for once!!

Okay......wish me luck for tmr!!

Round 2 of Diablo 2 has been finished!! I killed Baal today with my Druid!! Only town portaled once because took pity on my mercenary who died. But in the end he died again and I said "Ah! Stay dead!" and continued to whack Baal. It was surprisingly simple to do so! Baal stood not much of a chance!! I took only 2 rejuv and 1 super healing potion!! I LOVE LIFE STEAL!!

Went for lunch with Nina, Yu San, Hani and Tan at Bangsar Shopping Complex. Had lunch in Dave's Deli, just like I did on my birthday. Only difference? Nina wasn't alone!! hahaha.

Then went to Hani's house to have a long chit chat. I noticed something interesting. It is very very difficult to have a say in the conversation because
1) I look for a gap in the flow of words and phrases to put up a point..... gaps rarely appeared due to the way these girls quickly react. They should join a game show or something.
2) I malas!!

Darn....again busy...... so stopping here..... tell you about the job ad tmr!

KWeeeee!!! My shoulders ache for no reason today!! I didn't do anything strenous at all!! Bwaaaaaaa!! I'm getting old and useless!!

Anyway, I was supposed to pick my dad up today from KLIA. He called at 9pm and said he got the arrival time wrong and that he would get his company van to send him to his company. But nooooo.......an hour later he calls and says he's still at the airport because the Van no more space so he try to tumpang home with another collegue.... oh well......at least I don't have to drive down there.

Gosh...... I think I'll stop here today......busy checking something.......
