sohai.

went out with Ming's friends for a drink at a mamak nearby yesterday and happily planning about things to do for this weekend's long holiday... suddenly we heard some shouting and i turned to my left, about three square tables away, two Chinese guys stood up..

sohai: WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT... (i presumed that he said "why are you looking at my grilfriend"..) they were shouting like the place is on fire, so i can't really understand their english..

guy: WHO SAID........ (i think he said "who said i was looking at your girlfriend" or something similar to that..)

Guy actually sat facing directly to the girl. just the table next to each other.

then the girl beside sohai stood up and calm him down. Guy sat down. then we heard the girl shouted, "HOW I KNOW HE WAS LOOKING AT ME?" or something like that..

shouted at each other for a while, the girl left with the sohai...

when we heard all that noises, Ming, Mun and Gary including me, quickly take a look at the girl.

first and normal reaction, you'll think that the girl is super pretty.

but when we looked, we're damn disappointed. the walked pass the table opposite ours. the girl is (i) not pretty as we thought, (ii) short (like my sister), (iii) fatter than my sister triple times.

sohai.

me: huh? cannot look at gf one ah? don't bring out lah.. chi sin...

mun: haha.. now everyone is looking at her.

damn sohai right?

firstly, if you don't want other people looking at your "precious-oh-so-beautiful" girlfriend, don't bring her to a mamak. especially a very famous mamak. or he can ask her to cover her face like arabians... or just don't fucking bring her out. keep her in a safebox.

secondly, IF you notice some guy looking at your girlfriend, you can switch place with her, move to another place with less people surrounding, sit where your body can block the gy from looking, or.. just don't bring her out.

thirdly, look at the "quality" of your gf first before shouting at other people. cos this really WILL embarrass both you and your girlfriend.

my opinion, if there ANYONE who want's to look at your gf, you should be proud of it. at least it gives a clue that your gf is not ugly.

if my boyfriend suddenly pick up fight like that, the first thing that i'll do is stand up and run far away from him.. damn embarrassing..

what will you do?

I was on MSN like usual at office..

Him: hey, why you never text or call me anymore?

Me: I did text you on your mobile. But no reply so I didn't call.

Him: Huh? I didn't get any text from you. Which number you text?

Me: 315-69xxxxx

Him: Oh, I changed number. It's 315-79xxxxx now. I told you earlier.

Me: You didn't tell me.

Him: I didn't?



That's how I realized he has become a memory now.

told you guys miracle will happen!!!!

after the two hard days of working part time for 11 hours per day straight, i was tired like i've worked out 24 hours straight!

so a day before yesterday, i went to bank to take out the last balance of my money to pay bills... :(

whe i checked the balance after i took out the money, there was an extra of rm200!!! i was puzzled and i thought i wrongly see the amount. so i went to office and checked on maybank2u.

my claim for the sunglases that i bought last month ( when i was still working in the old company) has been given back to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

phew!

i thought they will not grant it due to the non confirmation of employment. but phew! i'm so relieved that they gave it back to me cos i bought it because i thought i can claim, when i told my ex colleague, they said not confirmed staff cannot claim. but i did fill in the claim form and submit it anyway. (who doesn't want money back, right?)

and also, my current company paid my 5 days salary on the same day!

new job. few miracles?

so i started working in a new company.

new boss.

new colleagues.

new smoke buddies.

new place.

new experience.

almost everything is new now.

well.. here, there's less stress. i think the stress that i'm having now is the stress of looking for something to do. to keep myself busy.

it's the third day working here and the third day i sit here all day long logging in to facebook, looking for someone to chat on msn, maybe fax one or two documents... that's it.. oh, and i did the team's leave report for the month of september as well.. that's all i did for the past three days and today.

should have more things to do in the following month though.. i heard there are quite a number of event that they're organizing. (btw, i'm working in a game publishing company now..) imagine how relax it is here...

no more rushing to work every morning (or noon) to log in and wait for calls.

no more on standby (to pick up calls that comes in automtically).

no more toilet breaks, cigarette breaks, lunch breaks, etc breaks that needs to be monitored.

coming in early is stupid. coming in on time is hardworking. coming in late is a norm. as long as you don't do it often and work back the hours that you're late, then it's fine.

cool huh? maybe because this is not a big multinational company, things are more flexible.

damn fucking relaxed!

well.. for the time being lah..

my boss already told me that for the time being, mostly it's just admin job.. later when everything is well organised and settle a bit, he'll bring me out to meet clients, learn some business development thingy with him and sorts.. so i guess later on will be busy days for me.

hmm... hopefully i can stay long and learn more things here.

----------------------------------------------------------------

you know.. when you're tight on money, like... you know you only have enough money to last for only a week, suddenly there will be miracle... like someone will give you back the money they owe you for a long time, you found RM100 notes in the jeans that you forgot to wash for few months, you know... that kinda miracle?

it happen to me many times..

there was once when i was still in college and working part time, that time, i don't ask money from my parents anymore, so money is always only enough. but there was once, a few more days to pay day, i only have enough money to go to work and come back. and that already included all my coins.. so i was thinking how to go to work the next day until pay day?

and miracle happened..

when i reached work, my manager told me that there's tips money for me...! she forgot to give it to me a week before and even though it's not a big amount of tips, but it can last me til payday!!

a few times i thought that i'm already broke, i found money in between pages of the books that i read previously, i found some in the pockets of jeans, sometimes in the bags that i don't really use anymore...

and like now, i don't get my september salary and with the money that i have now, it'll only be enough for bills. i'm seriously cracking my head how to survive... but like i say... miracle happens... a friend ask me to work part time this weekend. and the pay is not bad. so i agreed... and today i got a call from him saying that they increased the pay a bit... haha.... see? miracle DO happen..

:)

new hair!!

wee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWAS!

KUANG KUANG KUANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

earthquake.

and i'm on ground floor so i didn't feel it..

everybody in my office who were working told me so many funny stories about the quake...

like how she saw the pin dropped from the table.

another girl thought it's her eye's problem cos suddenly everything's shaking..

another guy told me that he felt the chair shaking and he thought it's his mind playing with him until he saw another colleague waving at him, and the other person was shaking as well....

damn... i missed it! again!!!!

the last time the earthquake took place, i was at home, ground floor as well. so i didn't know until my sis told me the next day...

this time, i was at ground floor, having my dinner when most of my colleagues were up on a 13th floor, enjoying the shake...

hmm.. a colleague of mine told me that it was quite bad.. but i felt nothing on ground floor!! so it wasn't THAT bad, i presume..

i really wanted to know how earthquake feels like...

but maybe it wasn't a good idea though..

quake for Malaysia is a very very bad disaster.

Malaysia, can say it's the safest place on earth when it comes to natural disaster. we don't have quakes (before this), we don't have hurricane, no volcano, twister, no big natural disaster... safe right??

hmm..

he can't make me stay.

ok..

so i came to work today. after 5 days of leave, the feeling of coming back to work is like... worse than waking up in the morning to take the bus when i was in primary school... even though i'm working 3pm-12am shift, i dread going to work.

ugh.

so anyway, i came to work today and talked to by team leader.

me: boss, if let's say lah.....

boss: let's say what... (smile cunningly..)

me: let's say i were to give you a LETTER, i have to serve 2 weeks notice right?

boss: why? you wanna give me letter meh?


then he started talking about how far we can go if we continue working here, after X years, if we find job outside, it'll definitely be a manager post.. bla.. bla... (you know lah, the normal phrase they will use to make you stay...) i told him i found another job that have more flexibility and i don't have to sit all day and glue the stupid headphone to my ears. plus, the new job, i can meet people. unlike now, i only see the 15 inches crt monitor, with no macromedia flash player installed in this particular pc, which means there's a lot of websites that i can't access to..

ok.. maybe i'm just being bias..

so, i found a new job and i wanted to leave as soon as possible. but he said i have to serve 2 weeks. if i want to leave within 24 hours, i have to pay them back half a month's salary. which means, i can't get this month's pay if i leave now. damn it.. die die also have to stay here for another 2 months..

so i gave the letter to him after while we finished talking.. and macibai... he duwan to accept my letter and said "you think about it first ad let me know tomorrow.. i won't accept your letter..."

wtf?

i just told him that i've wrote today's date and no matter what, he needs to sign it. he just asked me to put it on his table...

ada ke patut???

so he just went back after 10 minutes without signing anything... he called me after that and i told him that he needs to sign tmr.. he said "depend on my mood lor..."

-_-

i just told him that if he don't want to sign tmr, i'll ask his boss to sign it..

"ok, we'll talk again tmr..." that's what he said before he hung up...

mgch...


and guess what? i got to know from one of my senior colleague here that if you tell the company that you're going to work for a competitor, they will release you immediately with your full month's pymt.

how cool is that???!?

so since my boss don't want to accept my letter when i told him that i'm going to a small firm, i'm going to let him know after a week of notice that i just got a new offer from any of the competitor and he have to release me no matter what... muahahahahahaha!!!

now i know......

in mood for puppies...

so now, i'm off on thursdays and fridays.. cos i have to bloody work on fucking saturdays and sundays.. how cool was THAT? hmm... the only one thing good about getting offdays on a weekday is that you can get all your banking, posting, billing and shopping done. oh, did i mention paying summons as well? damn...

so i went to jennhoel's place on my offday. for a drink... jenn's place have 6 dogs.. yes.. 6... 3 outside, 3 inside. one dalmation, two dunno-what-breed dogs, one miniature silky terrier, one poodle+schnauzer, and one shih tsu... boys all outside, girls all inside... so cute huh?? hehe... since it's my off day and i seldom visit him since he moved to sg long, camwhore a bit with his puppies lah.....

this is Baby... the poodle+schnauzer.. she damn gah gah one.. (pretendious). she will sit far far and pretend to be lone ranger but after i played with her for a while, she sticked on me.. damn cute...

this is Silky... my fav of them all!!!! she's very tiny.. very clingy also!!! i felt like kidnapping her from jenn... she's adorable!!! i like!! (sorry Alfie, later i give you one bone...)
see?? so cute..............
one more picture...
ok lah... last la..... *kiss*
ok ok.... this one last....

she reminds me of Alfie... maybe because Alfie is half silky terrier too.. their colors are the same.. and features too... except Alfie's ears does not stand up like Silky... and Alfie is not as skinny as Silky... hmmm.... i'm so in love with Silky... she's really very cute... (ok Alfie, i'll give 3 bones!!) actually there are more photos taken with her.. but duwan to put so many here lah...

damn sien... i need to talk to someone... how i wish they have msn at office... damn sien can die!

girlfriend wanted.

he always tries to get on our bed... whenever possible... and when i say "alfie! get down!" he will lie down like this and pretend to sleep...

he will try to act cute and blur when he did something wrong. especially when he pee outside the bathroom when there's someone occupying it..

he will make sure that we're asleep before he does...

sometimes, he will also do this... such an attention freak..

he will also give you this look... when you're eating something in front of him..

alfie is turning one in october 18th.... i'm looking for a gf for him... i want to "pou shuen" (have grandchildren...) already... hehe...

Her Majesty's BIG Day.

ugh... don't know if i've mention before that i planned to go to Bangkok in Sept with my ex-colleagues? Yes.. We all bought air tix in January itself because that time, they have this zero fare thingy and we only need to pay for the airport taxes.. costs only RM245 for a return tix... so our trip is scheduled on the 6th Sept and come back on the 8th... while i was happily, eagerly, excitedly and nervously counting the days since the day we bought the tix on the 15th of January (my first time going for a trip with friends to a place where we need to take plane!!!)... So three weeks ago, i got an mms from my sister...

so many fine lines.....

So.. i asked her, "What's that for? A 'just because' present or engagement ring??"

debb: duh!!!! what engagement ring?... it's a wedding ring!

dy: -_-

so she's getting married. (rolled eyes few times)

and after few days when she came back to inform my dad, we talked about the preparations and all.. you know, the normal wedding stuffs...

and yea, the day after that, my sis told me that her wedding dinner will be on the 8th Sept.. and lunch at ah kor's side will be on the 9th... 20th will be her "chut moon" (when the groom come and get the bride) day... i was happily thinking how excited everyone will be... and suddenly i remembered something......... MY BANGKOK TRIP!!! Damn!

So my flight home is scheduled at 8.45pm on 8th.. so will be reaching KLIA around 10.30pm... so i thought, maybe still can make it cos dinner is at our house.. But after few days, she told me that there's some changes again... lunch on 8th at ah kor's place and dinner on 9th at our place.... ARGHHH!!!!!!!!

Damn stress....... i have to choose one.. to go for my almost-a-year-planned&paid trip or my DEAREST sister's wedding lunch....

you tell me how lah....

ok.. so i thought, since both of the event are important to me, i have an option to change the flights to go and return in the morning instead of night... but need to pay additional RM140 lah.. which is actually not a problem to me.. since that i got to know Celeste, who is going also, is thinking of changing to early flight cos more time to shop.. :P

so i can take the earliest flight back to KL and still be on time for the lunch!!!

but HER MAJESTY advise not to go cos there'll be a lot of preparation before the dinner and all.. scared flight delay lah, this lah, that lah.... haih... and oh yeah!!! i also forgot that because it's my QUEEN's wedding, i spent quite a lot on her wedding gift,which is a quilt set, which also, my dad thinks that it's a waste of money cos he said i could've bought something else like jewelry with that amount that i spent.. (roll eyes triple times).. I think jewelry is the last thing that my sis need compared to the quilt set that i've bought for her.. it's more practical, agree?

ok, back to the topic... so i've bought her a quilt set and for myself as well and also for Ming's mom cos we just bought new beds... spent a lot, i'd say.. so this Bangkok trip that i'm dying to go for, have to be cancelled... well, i still can go actually if i want to.. but then when i come back i'll be a happy but broke girl..


tell me lah... why like that one?? my dream shopping+ eating holiday plan is gone just like that (snap finger)....... due to a shorty's wedding...

how unfair...

the lucky pick II

so she asked me where i stay, who's car that i'm driving, whether i'm studying or working.... i just answer all her questions honestly without even thinking.. well, she don't seems to be so interested to remember anyway... so i was trying to tear off the envolope.. damn hard to tear off okay, it took me like.... half a minute! then i saw some picture on the envolope and it's so small and it was at night and i was in the car so it's very dark... so there's a picture in it with few cars and some RM 100,000 printed on top of the cars picture.. i thought it's advertisement or what.. i was looking for the word "shopping voucher" or "thank you for participating" but it was nowhere in sight... then, i ask, "kan na li de?" (see where one?)

Girl A: oh, mei you shi ma? (then she sighed)
oh, nothing on it is it?

Girl B: Bu shi ah, ni kan ching chu yi dian, zhong le!!!
no, see properly, you got it!!!

dy: -_- (questions mark all over)

Girl A: (with a sudden change of tone, very loud as well, and super excited) shi ma? Miss, gong xi ni o, ni cou zhong le wo men de da jiang!! ni deng yi xia, gei wo kan yi xia...
Miss, congratulations! you won the grand prize! wait, let me see...

then she took a look on the envolope and took out a one-page newspaper cutoff, which is very very old looking newspaper cut (can see that it'ss been took in and out a lot of times from the look of the folding) and it's Chinese newspaper, the picture on the newspaper cut is the same like the one in the envolope, got cars... and RM100,000 writen there...

Girl B: Gong xi ni o Miss... (shake my hand few times...)
Congratulations Miss...

Girl A: Miss, you see this, you won the grand prize... bla.. bla.... this is in the papers as well, you can see it's sponsored by some famous companies that i don't recall now... (she said that with a very super duper excited tone... )

dy: uh....... ah ha....?

she continue babbling about the prize in mandarin, talking very fast and loud and excited.. at the same time, she sounded like a robot.. like she said this so many times that she's too fluent and sounded like reading from a script.. (sounded like what i'm doing everyday at work tho...) quite a good actress though...

so at the very moment when she suddenly turned to be so excited, i confirmed it was a scam... I was half unsure at first when she asked me to pick a card earlier cos they looked like those promoters who are working part time for some local cheap product company, giving out flyer and free sample type? and when she shake my hand and congrats me with the worn out newpaper advertisement, i damn confirm they're cheaters!!!

so after they got all excited like they were the ones who won, especially Girl A, i just told them that i don't want it.. it's okay.. i don't have time to collect it..

right at that moment, my sis came in the car and just said, "worry, we don't want... bye" then asked me to drive away...

so i just repeatedly told them off that it's okay, i don't want it and i need to go.. Girl A, still with a very excited tone, repeatedly said something in mandarin that i don't really catch what she said cos i really want to leave, i think she's trying to pester me to take the "item" that i "won"...

she scared the hell outa me when she excitedly and loudly say that i "won" grand prize.. luckily shorty got in the car and we left... they didn't even tried to get my address or other particulars.. i mean... IF i REALLY won and it's a genuine lucky draw, they should have taken down my at least my phone number right? but no... when we insisted to leave, they just steped back and let me go.. with a quite disappointed look...

come to think of it, i should have get their "company" details and pretend to be happy about the winning and see what's next and then report it to police... when i was driving off, i saw they were preying for another victim... good luck to those other victims out there, hopefully they won't fall for it..

The Lucky Pick.

so i was with my sister the other night. sent her to a departmental store to get some stuff.. since that it's just a short trip, i parked the car near the entrance and waited in the car. while waiting, i lit up a cigarette... was happily puffing away and listening to the radio and suddenly out of nowhere, (seriously dunno where the hell), 2 girls popped out beside me and greeted, "xiao jie, bu hai yi shi, da rao ni yi xia".. ("Miss, sorry, disturb you a while")..

mahai! she really scare the shit out of me man! dah lah my window was down, my hand was outside.. imagine if she chop down my hand and runaway... damn scary.. so anyway, she speaks Mandarin, a language which i prefer not to speak in public because i suck in Mandarin...

dy: (jumped a bit and took my hand in)

Girl A: bu yong pa, bu yong pa, wo men bu shi yao ni shen me.. ji shi xiang wen ni yi xia, ke yi yao ni yi dian shi jian ma?
don't scared, we don't want anything from you, just want to ask if you have a lil time?

dy: ha?? oh..

Girl A: Wo men shi xxx gong shi, (i'll translate in english from here cos she talk damn fast i only catch what she's trying to say...) so we have this lucky draw thing, whereby you do not need to pay for anything, just pick any of the card here, (shoved me a handful of card) and inside we have shopping vouchers from parkson.. if you picked the shopping vouchers, then you can shop inside with your family but if you get a Thank You note, then bu hao yi si lor...

dy: er... bu yong la.. ni men qu li mian wen la.. bu yong la..
no need lah.. you go in and ask la.. no need..

Girl B: xiao jie, bang bang mang la.. wo men yao fang gong le.. wo men pai wan le zi hou jiu ke yi hui qu le.. xiao jie..
miss, help us leh miss, we want to finish work already, after we give out these we can go home already..

Girl A: miss, shi lor, wo men pai wan le jiu ke yi hui qu le... miss, bu yong pa, zhe ge shi mian fei de.. ni zi shi cou yi zhang chu lai er yi..
Miss, after giving out, we can go hone already.. Miss, don't worry, all you need to do is pick one card, it's free..

dy: ha... (to shoo them, i have to take no matter what...) ok lah..

so i picked one card... while opening the card-size envelope, we had a small talk...



to be continued...

grass is always greener on the other side. no matter how hard you try to cnvince yourself that perhaps the grass on the other side is actually the same, yellow, looks green due to optical illusions, or even fake, you'll still see it as greener, brighter and fresher...

-------------------------------------------------------------

i've been having weird dreams lately.. it seems so damn real that i almost thought that it really happened! i dreamt of the past.. from high school til end of college.. it's like a flashback. i felt a pang in my heart when i woke up in the morning. i felt sad.. clueless..

lucky it's just a dream.

-------------------------------------------------------------

i really feel like writing in here everyday.. but then when i sign in, i don't know how to write, where to start, what to say.. so many things that i feel like bursting out here but then don't know why nothing came out. i think subconsciously, i chose to keep things to myself rather than writing it out. or maybe it's just pms...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Just Complaining...

not that i don't want to write lately... i'm using my bro's streamyx line and i can't blog at work... so i can't use the net so often anymore. plus... i'm out of topic and things to bitch about.. ok.. maybe all of that was an excuse.. but hey... i can say anything i want here right?

hehe..

nothing interesting happened lately.. just the few normal boring things... work work work... i kinda like.. felt a lil not so lively now. grr.. ok.. maybe i'm just complaining about myself all over again here.. i'm contradicting myself.. :P as i was complaining how dead my life is right now, it's because i make no gesture to do something about it.. see? ironic right? *crap*

well... they planned to go Cameron Highlands this weekend... go friday after work and come back on sunday. part of me wanted to get out of the city and relax... part of me lazied off after thinking how far and winding the road is... plus.. what can you do in Cameron Highlands? the last time i went there was..... 8 years ago.. yes 8 years ago.. went to their butterfly garden/park, vege garden, tea factory.. and oh... their stemboat!! nice!.. well, i think because it's cold, that's why it's nice.. and their strawberries, not to say my fav fruit, i like the color more.. and oh... mini tomatoes!!!!! i like!! ok, back to what i was going to say.... so, i've been there few times.. and everytime will do the same thing, buy the same souvenirs, eat the same food and come back regretting the i went.. not because it's not fun, but.. it's damn tiring..

ok.. let's just see whether Ming wants to go or not.

i still prefer going to Melaka or Penang... better food... and best of all, the road is straight.

*crapping again*


damn bored here... a lil regret taking sick leave today.. nothing to do at home.. nowhere to go.. but ok lah! i admit lah... better than going to work...

sienz!



i'll write when i feel like complaining and bitching again...
