2nd March 2002
11.46pm

Went out for most of the day. Hahah.... now I really look forward to weekends. Weekdays are just no fun at all.

Today's badminton outing was cancelled due to the lack of venue and a badminton net. However, I got the number of the person to call to book the hall for future games.

Oh yes, would like to thank Lilian for a couple of things.
1) 2 Sakura wars posters. THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
2) Ranma 1/2 VCD. It was hers but she said she doesn't want it anymore.

Started the day by going with Lilian to play CS at Damansara Jaya, CI joined us halfway too. Played a new map called dust_4. It was a small map. Kinda fast paced too. Not a bad map I guess..... however only played that as a Counter Terrorist.

Then headed off to pick Samantha up and headed to Summit to rendeavous with Yu San, Tan and Phang. After a loooong discussion, came to the conclusion, no movie today. Hahahah....then came to the next hard part....deciding where to eat. Sigh, it's kinda hard to decide sometimes. After lunch, we celebrated Sam's bday with a bday cake. She's 21 years old already. May all your wishes come true!!

Played Silent Scope... and finally finished the game. Used RM10 to finish it off. Lilian and I took alternate turns to play. Hahah.... the final boss was soooo teruk.... armoured kao kao. It was really a lucky shot at the end that I managed to get that demon woman in the head. After that played pool. Played with Lilian..... won once, lost once. But I should have lost both.... I just couldn't play well.... yuppers..... I need to practice. Hahah... I'm going to bug my parents into buying a table for the new house.... go the place ready for it somemore.

Hahah...... then went for round 2 of CS in SJ. Played better in SJ than DJ. Hahah maybe the DJ players are better than SJ players?? Aoi-Chan is my official YUA theme nick. Settled!!

Later it rained and we went to Carrefoure for makan (not me, had dinner at home).

My aunt from Ipoh came down. So have to entertain her :).

Congrats to both Lilian and Samantha for their respective jobs!!

Congrats to me for getting a promise of job offer. But then that fella hasn't really worked out what to put me as, so I'm not putting 100% hopes into it. I'm numb when it comes to the job hunt :)

Tmr's another day..... me wanna sleep kao kao :) hahaha........

I Am A: Neutral Good Half-Elf Ranger Fighter

Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.

Race:
Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans and the patience of elves.

Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.

Must...... kick........Terence......

The fella was playing computer games and thus delayed my login time to the net by an hour. Grrrr....... took me 20 mins to get online....... he knows that it's hard to get connected at this hour...... bugger.

Annoyed.....today not such a good day.

Bogged down with phone calls at the office.... didn't even get an opportunity for lunch until after 3. Also, at many times I was holding two phones to my ears and trying to listen to both at once. Tired...... blur........ cluttered......sigh......

Also got my biggest transaction today. RM 40500.00. However, cannot be approved because there wasn't enough credit. Rich people can make a big fuss you know.... not enough means not enough lar!! Why ask so many questions?

Next week I'm going to be working on the afternoon shift. That means from 2pm to 10 pm. Yup....night time working. Oh well...... anyone want to bug me in the morning?? *hint!!*

Oh yes, called my dad's friend. Says he will be hiring me, but has not worked out a package for me yet. Says he will call next week. 6 months probation though. Oh well.... I'll be taking it ASAP.

Car fixed...... for a whopping RM 650. Sheesh......banyak things they change. But it's not the battery problem. It's something called a regulator. Hmmm.....the touch of doom by my older brother.

Hmmm..... errr..... got blogging problems today. Don't really feel up to blogging today. Sigh, I'm half baking in the knowledge that Sakura Wars is being shown again, and half frustrated that the VCDs are so hard to get!!! I even found the YUA DVDs already for goodness sakes! Sigh.... at least I'm not like Miaka and her food.... her body moves against her will. Hahah....remember Cindy?? How many times did Nakago use food to lure her??

One more day of answering calls!! Before a break that is.... hahah... Oh...today my department kena from a Datuk. Although it wasn't really our fault that the Maybank merchant couldn't do the transaction. My my.... some people really throw their weight around. HAhaha... after telling my mom and dad about the story they were commenting that Standard Chartered is more than a century old, but then the system they use is still not up to date. I called it a dinosaur. Hehhe...

Oh yeah, my temporary status expires in June.

Voila!!! My brother's touch has done the trick again!! My car battery is now dead. That's the second battery in the span of a single year. Oh well, at least this time I wasn't the one driving. But then..... it's my car...... and he keeps kakusing it..........

Phew..... I'm very brain dead..... work can be susah. In a way, my job is worse than a telephone operator's. A normal phone operator has only one phone call to deal with at a time. Today, all 10 phones were ringing at once, with only 4 people at the desk, and only have three terminals to access the system, and two Telex machines to refer to other banks, which could also be used the other way around. That's what's happening when I'm not doing paperwork.

Apparently the bank hasn't been doing well during the past year. Bonuses equalled to less than half a month's pay for the ppl in my department. And here's something else. The clerks in my department applied for a position as an officer when Standard Chartered had an opening. They got a letter.... a rather rude one.... saying, (along the lines) thank you for trying, but you are a clerk and not qualified to be an officer so do not even think about it next time.

Oh yeah!!! I got my bank statement yesterday! I have a total of........ RM 10 in my account!! That means, I haven't gotten paid yet.......drats..... I'm digging into ang pow already. I need money!!..... Actually could go to Maybank and get the money but then I need to settle something with Maybank next week.

My friend Chee Onn will be leaving for the Land of Oz tomorrow. Safe journey and till next time Chee Onn!

Shoots..... forgot to take water to work.. now getting sore throat. Bleh.... answering calls does that to you.

Terence drove the car today. Came home and reported that somethings broken. Sigh.... that boy..... I'm really scared that his clumsy touch will destroy the car one day. He's the bloke that crashed the car on his first drive out alone. *mushroom sigh* However, now he and Senan are trying to temporarily gain possession of the car. Temporarily because, while I have not been confirmed a job (which may require me to travel), the car is still mine. Bwhahahah.

Today is Chap Goh Mei, so to everyone celebrating it.... happy Chap Goh Mei!! Hahah.... I had this funny thought in my head.... hey Yu San!! Did Tan take you for mandarin picking?? Heheh.... it's a chinese Valentines thingy.

There's going to be a lot of changes in March's anime lineup. YUA just ended today. Vandread finished yesterday (replaced by Boys Be) and will be soon replaced by Sakura Wars (YAY!!!). But then Nie7 is coming in...... YUCKS...... Power Stone will also end soon. Gatekeepers making a return. Fushigi Yugi will end by the middle of the month I guess.

Will blog about YUA one day...... now trying out Disciples 2.

How nice..... Lois sent everyone a SMS message to thank us for coming to her party. Lois, your welcome!! The party was.......well..... incredibly large. This shows how popular she is eh? You go girl!!

*opens mailbox* Wow!! I got an email from a reader of my blog. Hahah... never really thought that other people would really bother reading blogs.

On the downside....... where the heck is everyone!?!??! Going online at this time doesn't seem so fun anymore. Tonight, not even a single person I know is online at all. What's this? Avoid Fabian day??

Started working shifts today. Morning shift. I guess the bank doesn't want us to work too much in order to cut costs. Hahah... cheapos!! Anyway, today wasn't very busy on the phone side, but that darn fax machine kept churning out forms and more forms. Grrr.... I had to fill the machine TWICE with more paper.

Cindy, well, I wanted to try to go SS2 to look around.... but haven't got down to it at the moment. Maybe I'll go this Saturday.... it's another bank holiday on Saturday. Woo hoo!

Oh well..... can't think on what else to write at the moment...... Oh yeah!! You're under arrest will be ending on Tuesday, with episode 51. Sigh...... today's episode was very good, not in the action manner, but very sweet and very touching. Showed how much Miyuki and Natsumi were such partners that they are lost without each other. And showed that Nakajima really cared about Miyuki in his own way.

But I loved the part where everyone in Bokotu Station were lining up to have a word/beat up Nakajima for what he said to Miyuki over the radio. Hahah.... Tokuno-san didn't mind waiting 3 hours to "talk" to Nakajima.

Replacing YUA will be Shadow Skill. Hmmm... wasn't that one shown before YUA this time?

Yesterday went to Lois's bday party, so couldn't blog.

But first, on friday night, Chuen Ian did EVENTUALLY call us up and picked me up. Well, it was lilian that who called and told me that Chuen Ian was really doing the night yam char thing. Sigh.... Phang and I thought he was FFK'ing us. However, it was quite late..... daddy didn't really like the idea. The next day he told me not to go out late at night just to yam char...... in otherwords, until further notice, barred from yam char around midnight. Loophole : I go out earlier..... say......afternoon/evening ? hahahah

Saturday went out around noon to pick Lilian and Chuen Ian up. Picked up Phang too from a nearby cyber cafe. Went to play CS. Heheh.... didn't really have a good game..... held on though.... always placed in the losing side :) so susah to do anything without good teammates. Lilian was great though..... banyak ganas!!! She sees one big group of opponents and she charges them.... well....she eventually dies, but at least she takes out one. Woo hoo!!

Later went to Pyramid for lunch and to shop for pressie for Lois. Took a while I guess... very indecisive. Sigh.... me had tight budget too. Time to open angpow :). Had to send Phang home first, so had to leave early. Then returned to pyramid to pick up the rest. However the group split up with the arrival of Wee Heng and Kenvi, so after all's settled, took Wan San to her house. Met up with the rest at Lois's place later.

Adam and Eugene were there too. Those two really have weird ideas.... sigh...... sometimes talking to them can be very very annoying. Oh well...... was nice to meet them again.

Hmmm...... I think I'll write emails tmr if I have time..... hehehe..... IF is a big question.

Oh yes.... the bday girl managed to take RM3 from me in Blackjack. I always lose when it comes to money.
