Uuuuuuuu...... tummy ache......

I have such a weak stomach. Today, my family and Wirawan went to restaurant called Bamboo Village to have dinner. It wasn't a very clean place I guess, better than the hawker stall, but once I reached home I had to go!! Bah.... I need an iron stomach....

The reason why we went out today, to celebrate my brother's success at his exams. Sigh... enough said... he can get away with anything for the next couple of days.

Hmmm......looking back on today...... I didn't do much at all. I can't even write a two paragraph story on what I did during my morning and afternoon. Sigh...... don't even know what to blog about tonight....

Oh before I forget, Selamat Hari Raya everyone!!!!

Currently generating a small gathering during the first day of Hari Raya. A great time to ask people who are working to go out. Let's hope that they are still around and are free at that time.

Which also reminds me.......Fabian! Generate shopping list! Go shopping on Wednesday!

Ohhhhhhhh........ my stomach........ *rushes off*

(by tmr I'll be fine, now it's time to clear the system)

Strange...... I wasn't awaken early in the morning today.... I woke up and wondered why. Went downstairs, both my parents were gone too. Then peeked into the driveway. My mom's car is still around.

Apparently my mom had to go KL today, so I think my dad sent both her and Terence to the LRT station today. Yay!! Slept some extra hours today! Then Senan took my car to college to collect his results and thus also went out with his friends throughout the afternoon. But then I had my mom's car.....heheh.....

However, my mom called and asked me to pick her up at the LRT station. Chatted a little with Yu San while waiting for my mom to reach the station. She's going to be in Singapore for a week! I doubt if you'll be able to read this entry but then HAVE FUN!!

Had lunch with Ian, Phang and Lois. It was fun..... half the time kenakaning chuen ian because he somehow asks for it. Eg. Don't you feel the seat vibrating? Hahah.... went to Johnny's restaurant in 1 Utama. Had Thai food there. Then headed off to watch Monsters Inc. It's a good movie. Short but good. I suspect they used the earlier animation just to make it longer. But even the short animation was damn funny! Love that show. I wouldn't mind watching it again :).

I'm not getting AXN!!! waaaaaaaaa!! My dad and mom don't watch the new channels at all!! No more anime for me next month!

To Nina-> Senan's gf (who's name is Wirawan) is half Thai half Chinese, thus the name.

I took the Friends test Hani........... I'm Chandler!!!! Not surprising I think.....

Woo hoo!!

I just wanted to say that because tiba tiba I feel so strangely calm and content. And of course a tad bit happy. Well, nothing really exciting happened today..... but that doesn't mean I can't be spirited for no given reason.

Just now, my dad had to pick Terence up from the LRT station. Apparently now his company, Price Waterhouse Coopers, is busy during the end of the year because they are auditing many companies at that time. Hmmm, looks like my brother will be coming home late for the next couple of weeks. Today I wasn't assigned to fetch him because....... my car's not here!! Senan took my car for something..... a function maybe, because he bought a new shirt, a new tie (plain red tie, hahah.... he's like Tan in Tie fashion tastes!) and of course a new pair of shoes which he said was VERY CHEAP. Hah! RM99 is very cheap.....

Speaking about shoes..... Cindy!! I am going to give you my new pair of shoes okay? Consider my christmas present to you. Provided you can wear it of course. You and I will have to meet one day so that you can try it on.... so that I can decide whether to include you in my list or not, and to look for other suitable donors for my shoes.

The reason why I'm giving her my shoes, well..... it was a very very impatient buy.... I was so fed up of them looking for the shoe and the size....... they took me two hours to buy that freaking shoe. Either they had no size or they couldn't find the shoe in the first place! I guess I was pretty pissed until my toes shrunk of something..... I tried on that pair, my feet boleh masuk...... so I just took it. To my dismay, I found out later that my toes really had to curl up a little and that hurt a lot. Next time, I won't buy stuff when I'm frustrated. I tend to make bad decisions.

Anyhow, today I asked Yu San out for lunch. She had to wait for her maid so it had to be a late lunch. Oh well, I don't normally eat that early, but I skipped breakfast because I excercised and was too tired to eat. Hahah...anyhow, I left earlier to scout out a place in Uptown which I originally thought of in the first place...... but then Uptown was so badly congested that there were two lines of illegal parkers!! Fat chance of getting parking there, so I crossed that off my list.

Reached Yu San's house earlier than expected (by 15 minutes if I'm not mistaken). She still had a couple of things to do so I waited a while and looked at her Amazon character as well. Had a small chat with her mom too. Hmmm.... I noticed something, now Eve doesn't bark at me for a short while before keeping quiet, now she goes straight to asking me to play with her. Hahahha.... I conquered Yu San's dog!! Sad to say, my dog really unfriendly.... stupid fella. Ginger has always been a friendly dog. Which is strange.... Cindy had a dog named Ginger and has a dog named Max. Hahah.....coincidence :)

Anyhow, we went to Shakeys, incidently that was what she wanted and one of the options I put up (actually the first). Didn't order a big meal that would have put either of us bankrupt for the month. Then after lunch went to play a little (and I mean A LITTLE) CS in one of the nearby cybercafes. That place really had the feel of Voodoo net last time...

Surprisingly enough, I could play well!! Even Yu San played well! I was deaf (aiyah, I can play without speakers for CS......but not RA/Starcraft) Heheh.... it's nice to kick arse in CS......

But I couldn't stay long because my brother needed the car today. Sigh.... I wish I could play another hour, but then parking expired as well......

THEN found out it was raining and there would be no way that MPPJ would be going around printing compounds. sigh......... darn.......wasted opportunity. Oh well........

Just read all your emails concerning my pickiness and all the advice you guys gave. I appreciate all the comments and advice. I really do! heheh..... but whether I'm being picky, I probably am. I guess I was looking for IT jobs that I know that I can do. Thanks for pointing it out over and over again Yu San! Keep hammering it in if the idea doesn't seem to sink into my thick skull.

Yes, I'm probably too technical and practical for my own good. I partially blame it on my dad :). Logic played a large role in my thought processes so it's quite hard for me to tone down at the moment. But I'll try and remember to scale it down when it comes to things outside work and studies.

For some strange reason, my IE keeps crashing.....

Sigh....... Senan and Wirawan (his gf)..... I have absolutely no idea what to make of them anymore........ but first, I scolded him for not throwing away her tissue and her blotter from the car. I mean, she's his responsibility right? It's not like only he uses the car too, BDC 9001 -> is still my responsibility at the moment = refered to as Fabian's car.

Anyhow, her visit was done in the following order, I was in my room playing Wizardry 8 when I heard my dog barking....... somehow I knew it'll be her because my dog really really doesn't like her. Trust me, he barks more fiercely at her than any other person. My theory, Rex loves Senan the most. Because he had the deciding factor to adopt him (my vote was.... but we have a cat). By the way, the cat ran away after that. Anyhow, those two set up the Christmas tree. And bought lunch from Atria (for me that's very unusual because I can never get Senan to do anything outside of the house for me. How nice.

Later in the evening, I kena marah for something I didn't do by my dad. He asked me what my pile of clothes was doing in his room. I had to tell him 3 times that I'm definately sure that it isn't mine and pointed fingers at Senan, who incidently did clear out his closet today. Sheesh.....why I kena I don't know...... maybe it's because I do the most mischief?

Terence came home late today. I gotten used to the morning thing, except I had little sleep last night, but it didn't affect me that much. But to come home after ten o'clock. Wow. Oh well, at least I don't sleep that early.

Filled my head full of anime today. Brains sort of fizzled out :) hahaha.... I am beginning to like Shadow Skill and Sakura Wars....but I'm not sure whether my dad will subscribe to AXN because he doesn't seem to watch it. He knows I've been watching more cartoons......so I'm not going to get myself hooked onto any anime at the moment, because I would absolutely suffer if I do and something goes wrong.

Hello all! Today has been an okay day overall.

Terence woke me up in the morning again.....but sometime after 8 am....so guess what? This time..... I was stuck in morning traffic instead of the normal not-so-jammed highway. Blerg.... maybe I should ask him to wake me up earlier, so that I at least don't look like the messy person I am when I just woke up...... sigh..... should I make him do that?

Today Yu San and I were supposed to meet Kuan May for lunch, but then something's come up on her side so we had to cancel. Instead, we met Alex and Ian for lunch at McD's.... actually, the two of us had lunch while the other two had lunch already I guess.... Together we whallopped 20 pieces of nuggets..... hehe....we lost track of how many each of us consumed so we forgot about counting the number.

After that we went to play a little snooker next door. Alex and Ian vs Yu San and I. My aim is getting better :) at least I can hit the dang ball from far away! I can't believe how much I deteriorated over the past semesters. Anyway, Ian and Alex were actually quite good!! But then, due to Alex's bungling by scoring then fouling, Yu San and I won!! hahahah!! There were so many mistakes made by both sides :)

Then moved on to play CS, invited Jonathan to play too, but he was yam charing and had arrived when there were no more pcs, plus he seems so in love with Pasadena..... geeeeee.... I think he likes the lack of a crowd and the fact that it's still 2 bucks.

Played BADLY today...... sheesh..... wahhh!!! I don't know how to play anymore!! What did I normally do?? Why can't I shoot straight?? Arrrrrrr....... maybe I haven't syphoned off any one's power with my knife lately....

But today, the servers were down and everyone was playing on maps created by other players. However, some smart fella installed bots that would automatically load into the game whenever a game was created. What the heck?? Those bots could kill with a shotgun at medium range!!! Got fed up, stopped playing CS for 20 minutes to go online to find out how the heck to shut them off and replay again........ bah!!

Damn these mosquitos!!! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *Takes insecticide and starts chasing those pesky critters all over the room*

I was awakened by Terence today.... and I asked..... issit Monday? Where was my weekend? Basically I didn't get any rest during the weekend so I totally didn't feel that it was a Sunday.

I felt so groggy while driving.....not to mention grumpy. So kept quiet the whole time. Headache gone so I felt better after an additional 2 more hours of sleep. Woke up to find Senan at the computer playing Wizardry 8......as usual.... What's more? Daddy not on leave this week. Yay!! Otherwise sure kena critise for my cartoon watching.

Which brings me to my next point...... I have watched so many Anime on AXN!! I wanna watch some of them!! But I don't have the time to watch them everyday!! Here's a list I watched so far:
1) Sakura Wars
2) Battleship Yoko Yamato
3) The Dual
4) Slam Dunk
5) Some other martial arts show..... forgot the name
6) The beginning of Ah! My Goddess the movie......

Damn..... I'm going to get hooked on something soon..... I blame the lot of people who love anime....... but I think Slam dunk and no.5 will be out of my list..... kinda boring pickup sequences. Sorry lar to all those Slam Dunk fans.....but some episodes are sooo draggy!

Okay, this is for cindy: I'm not employed yet!!!! The company I went to wanted a UNIX specialist yes, but I don't think I'll be put there. I know I impressed them with my skills at computer graphics..... so I have no idea how the heck they are going to put me in. Presentation Designer? hahahah....... that'll be difficult with the lack of software I found there. But I emphasise!! I AM NOT EMPLOYED. Still free loading.

My savings have hit the 4 digit mark for the first time!!!! (Fixed deposit doesn't count, dad has it invested somewhere)

Yup!! I got paid today for the two days training. My group won!!! So now I have a 700 buck cheque which I need to bank in. I never gotten that much money at a go before so I'm very very happy.

Today, we ended much earlier than yesterday. I came back at 4.30pm. Today I was preparing the graphics and the powerpoint slides in the morning and after lunch presented our solution to the 4 judges. Yeah, I admit, we got the wrong information which had us confused but we still proceeded......no matter how many times we asked them..... geeee.... hahah...revenue estimation was boosted up 80 times!!! That's 12 million a month!!! hahahah Opps!!!

Oh yes, Nina said I'm evil for refusing to belanja her...... well I made a promise AND thank you, first time I'm called evil.

Well, from the fellas there, I know that the company is shifting to another location (still in Phlieo Damansara). So maybe I'm about to be hired due to that reason. The person who interviewed me last time, Tan Keat aka Alan, also gave me an indication that I'll be hired soon :) yay!! Besides, I don't think that they'll blow off 700 for me if I wasn't being considered.

Tak nak blog too much today.... although excited, typing slow like no one's business.
