Yee ‘O Lost Souls

My holiday started today. Well, more like a long weekend. I think today I was influenced by a radio ad to buy a Snickers bar. After I came back from a short session at the gym, I went to Super Mall and bought a Snickers bar :D. Man! The supermarket was packed! The last time I saw so many people there was the day before Ramadhan starts. I know it’s Gawai tomorrow but…Malays celebrate them too? Personally, I think people crowd the supermarket just because it’s a Gawai holiday. It just feels like raya, sort of. Only for the Ibans.

That’s Malaysian for you.

Because of the crowded supermarket I had to forget about buying my Snickers there. So I went to one of the smaller shops and bought one there. After that I graciously ate my Snickers.

Tomorrow and the day after that are still gym day. Saturday I will take the day off and watch a movie and go to Tao! :D. I need more frequent defragging with all the work piled up on me :/.  Maybe I’ll hop over to Crown Square too some time soon. Wanna buy some DVD :D. They have the 3 for 20 promotion there. And maybe check out the hair salon. Hopefully they have a better barber. The one I frequent is very inconsistent. They sometimes (most of the time) cut my hair wrongly. Oh and see if their hair treatment service is as good as EQUIP’s. I think that place had closed down. Well, it was pretty unstrategic. Poeple can’t see it from the road, after all. Even though it wasn’t cheap, but I like the smell of the stuff they used and you hair lasted feeling that way for a week tops! So I guess it was a fair price.

To be honest, I was pretty surprised when I heard my friend did their hair treatment cheaper at certain places. But, they are usually not as good as EQUIP’s. They are still good, just not as good.

Man I want to go to Sunway Lagoon. Soon. Soon my time will come.

My little money stack is growing nicely. Hey it wasn’t easy you know. I had to save half of my pocket money and just live off that. Especially when I have to eat out four days a week. But my efforts will pay off. Just hope I will have a steady internet connection later and I’m set :D.

Okay time for bed. Ta’ra!

Haha! My friend text’d me saying our accounting tute is canceled tomorrow! So that means…I have an early holiday start! Hahaha! Actually, a few tutes were canceled. But mine is only accounting. I have a discussion tomorrow supposedly at 3, but with the cancelling of another tute, I have to reschedule it earlier to accomodate my group members. This is the good group. Not the crappy one. I have three different assignment groups right now. One will disband next Monday while another will take form just the next day. Sweet.

So, rescheduling means I won’t be able to have a morning gym session tomorrow. Man. But I suppose it will give time for my legs to recover hehehe. I just did a full 28 mins today. Was planning a fast one because I went about 5 and on the way home I have to get some stuff. I actually finished everything in an hour. Amazingly. Time in was 5 pm, time out was 6.05 pm :D.

Since I am already in a holiday mood I don’t feel like stepping into Swinburne so I have asked to have our discussion done somewhere else. Like J&J, where they have roti canai all day long :D. Their roti canai looks like a checkers board. They kinda cut them halfway down into squarish shapes. Not deep enough to put them in pieces, just enough to make them look all…squarish.

Anyway, yeah, the roti canai is nice.

Hopefully we’ll get some stuff going tomorrow at the discussion. This is a very long and elaborate project. I won’t let it go in the direction of my IT assignment; straight down the ditch.

I will go visit the gym in the late afternoon. After my roti canai and lunch.

Today’s test was a disaster. But it was just a disaster waiting to happen all along so I was prepared :D.

Also, yesterday I gave Marimo a wash. I needed to do some physical exercise and Marimo was dirty. I even washed the rim of the tyres. As I did that, I found out Marimo had a flat tyre. Again! I think it was punctured because I just had it pumped two days before. But our good ol Uncle Weez fixed that hehehe. Now Marimo is back up again on all four tyres :D.

I love thee Marimo chan~!

Ta’ra!

Oh man I went through hell yesterday moving my sis’ monitor to my PC. All the dusts and the wires. Aaaarrgghh!!! The worst part would be, I have to do it all over again before my sis comes back.

Anyway, last night My Team versus Malaysia and My Team lost! D’: They scored the first goal but then in the second half, Malaysia scored 2 goals, both through free kicks. But still, everyone was with My Team. Needless to say, the Malaysian team must have felt pretty insulted. Well, their big-mouthed manager even said ‘if you’re with Malaysia, wear yellow. If you’re supporting My Team, wear blue or something’. Well, last night, the whole stadium was blue :P. Take that! Even though My Team lost, everyone admitted, morally, My Team won. They dared to go against the pride of Malaysia.

But honestly, what is there to be proud of Malaysian football anyway? They never make us proud in the international scene. The RTM1 news commentator just now even went as far as saying Malaysians were shameless rooting for the defeat of their own national squad (by supporting My Team). When he made that comment I was shouting "F**cker!" at the screen so many times I lost count. My Team deserved to win and the Malaysian team deserved to lose. Besides, the FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) only sent their under 20 players. Of course, they were too cowardly to send their regular players; the actual Malaysian team. Not the under 20. The match was obviously shrouded in controversy, and commentators during and off the game even said that we Malaysians shouldn’t make fun of our own team who has been ‘working hard to fight for us’ by having this match. They said My Team is just part of a reality TV show. Well it may be a reality show, but the training was as real as it can get.

This is a good reality check for the Malaysian team. It goes to tell them that if they don’t get their act together, there are people who are capable of taking their place. Not just more capable, but more willing to fight!

In conclusion, Malaysian team still sucks. My Team still rocks!

I hope they show more of the My Team after the match.

Today has been an emotionally taxing day. It sucks when people not only flat out dissapoint you, but they just have to go and stab you in the back at the same time. Forget loyalty. forget teamwork. These people are just bringing me trouble and won’t admit it. Instead, they blame me for not doing anything. Just goes to show some people can be that shameless.

Anyway have a test tomorrow. Stupid accounting. You can hardly udnerstand the question. Because the lecturer’s english is so bad.

Ta’ra.

Myteam is finally playing against Malaysia tonight yay! But those FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) up until last night has not given them a list of players to play against Myteam. They are really just underestimating Myteam. Well tell them what. FAM sucks. Myteam rocks.

I’m all for Myteam. They should teach those bastards a lesson! Yeah!!

With the rest of the family gone, the smappy should go ‘does play’ as Mr. Leaf puts it. But how come I don’t feel like ‘playing’?! Man.

I’m only left with my younger sis who claims that she’s staying back for some ‘higher reason’. I bet you that it’s to annoy me. My monitor went down last Friday. What a coincidence! If my group members had finished the project on Thursday as promised, things would be online by Friday. But thanks to their delay and several lame excuses later, the stuff that I did, and can’t access, aren’t that significant. I have only done about two webpages. Fortunately, I am a proactive person and since my elder sis is gone I could move her monitor to my PC. Her monitor is flat screen, therefore lighter to move around.

I can’t complain enough about my group members. You may label me a non-team player but my team is very disappointing and I would be so glad if even one of them is reading this post or my previous posts. I mean, if they claim they are busy, I’m busy too but how come I could find time? Saying that our lecturer allows us to submit later than them, we still have to submit a draft one day earlier than theirs. If they had known how to make webpages that’s fine, but if I have to point out everything, I’m willing to do it, but they are still too busy to learn. And when I did teach them, they will just start complaining and about this and that and won’t listen. Geez!

And about submitting late, I know this shit is extended to Monday, but I don’t plan to do anymore of this after Friday, its supposed due date. Don’t they understand I have other plans for weekends? I don’t go online every night and chat to my boyfriend till 4 am only to skip the morning classes or fall asleep in it. I wish their stupid boyfriends would die too. Because they were too busy with them that our project was delayed and they don’t pay attention during group discussions. Pisses me off.

They are willing to spend about half of their phone credits smsing their bfs but sending me just one fakking SMS about the project is a total chore! Its too bad really, because they are really good people. Or could have been. If they had been more organized. I mean, its a good skill to have to be able to work overnight on a project especially when the due date is the next day. But although I can do that, I hate it. And I hate people who drag things until it comes to that.

Now that my monitor is down, I wish you guys good luck with the project. I’ve had it with your  procrastination. Or maybe not. You know what guys? Just give me all the info you got because really, at this point I just don’t trust you guys with the website. And I think you are just going to mess up and further irritate me. Thanks. I’m not stabbing you from the back. I’ve sent you a lot of notices. You just either didn’t get it or ignore it.

Another annoying thing I found was at the gym. Yesterday, while I was on the treadmill, this guy climbed on the treadmill beside me. He was wearing a tight, macho-looking black shirt and a not-so-macho-looking flowery pink short shorts that is only acceptable at home. I could accept that he turned on the fan without considering it would hit me too, but suddenly, he took the remote and started flipping channels. What the fakk! I was watching that! The TV had only one cable channel (at that time was MTV) and the other 4 are local channels. Fortunately for me, the other channels were airing kids shows like cartoons and news recap so he had to turn back to MTV. But at one point he paused too long at a boring news recap, I was tempted to push him off the treadmil. Him and his gay mini shorts.

I mean really, that was rude! He just changed the channel without my consent! I was there first you know.

Alright I’m done complaining this session. I will go to the gym now. Bye.

I’ve ate my toast, I’ve displayed my insanity, I went to the gym, I watched my movie, I’ve honked some fakking losers on the road (some fakker thought giving the ‘finger’ was cool) but most importantly, I’ve defragged. I saw Ruffedge at Parkson today. Coincidence, of course, but my movie was more important. I’m not a big enough fan to stay and scream with the rest. I’ll post photos later. I need to catch up on some hours of sleep.

Ta’ra.

p/s Being and editor is hard work. I know. I’m one of them. But if you think being one is hard, try finding one. And after you found one, see if they are willing.

Integrity is a sacred thing. It’s something like trust. Hard to obtain, easy to destroy. If someone has no integrity, I consider them as low and disdainful as a liar and a cheater. Really. For some people, keeping to their word is a chore. I’m working on improving my integrity too. Because I know how important it is. If I don’t follow up on what I say, I apologize and I’m ready to be given a lecture. Because it was entirely my fault. If you can’t keep your promise, don’t make it. But if you have no choice, give notice in advance, geez. One SMS or a phone call couldn’t be THAT hard is it?

We are not ladies-in-waiting, we hate waiting!

One more thing that just annoys me so damn much is excuses. I hate giving excuses therefore hate receiving them too. Is it my fault if people can’t keep up with your deadline? Is it your fault that they are busy? Like I fakking care! I’m busy too, do you see me complaining? Yeah I may be complaining right now, but I didn’t turn that into an excuse of not keeping up with a deadline. If you procrastinate you are just making trouble for yourself. Don’t make it into an excuse that due to your own procrastination you have to do something else that is apparently more important what what you have to do for us. I don’t fakking care. A deadline is a deadline. If other people can do it, why can’t you?

This is how things are like in the real world. They don’t care what you have going on elsewhere. This is something that was entrusted upon you and people expect you to give it your best. Not a half-hearted effort that is just ‘better than nothing’. How about other people who had given their best? That’s unfair.

Geez this is just putting one trouble on top of another. You see, ‘friends’ who bring only problems to you without offering solutions are just like a brick wall in the middle of the road. Imagine driving down the road at 100 km/h and suddenly, this wall appeared out of nowhere and you crash and burn into it. The wall won’t budge, of course. It’s there to make a statement. ‘I’m here. You can either avoid me or hit me. I don’t care’. What an annoying wall.

You see, placed strategically, this wall protects you. But in the middle of the road, it’s an obstacle. Just like friends are you companions most of the time, but every now and then you have to endure their bad sides too. Such is life.

All this assignments are obviously getting to me. But other people felt it too. If they don’t, I’ll make them feel it. It’s my fakking marks too. If only people would just come forward with their own incentives sometimes. That would make life so much easier. But things don’t work that way. You have to push them (force them even) if you want them to operate in a strict discipline.

Yes, I’m under a lot of stress right now and the situation and excuses people give me are obviously not helping. They just make things worse.

I need to defrag. Tomorrow. Who cares about tests. This is about me.

Bye.

Fickle-mindedness could really kill me. Seriously. With all this group projects coming up, it just pisses you off when your group members take your deadlines lightly.

I sometimes wished I was acquainted with better people. Perhaps those who are smarter than me that could take the responsibility. I’m not bragging, but why does it seem if I don’t pull the rein, the horses would just scamper to all directions and left us to plunge into the muddy depths of…mud.

But if I did leave the rein in what I thought are capable hands, they still take us swivelling left and right with mud splashes on ourselves. We did not fall. We just came close to it. Perhaps we reached our destination, yes, but with one tyre in a ditch. Still, it wouldn’t have been a very pleasant journey is it? And chances are, you wouldn’t want to go on another one like that. Not when it concerns your future too.

Right? Exactly.

Man. I supposed that’s life. And I’m sure there are others who are worse off (I have heard of their sad tales). I guess when you take the rein…you’re more in control. But you have higher chances of being unpopular because of it. Well can’t help it. After all, it’s your marks too and in a group thing, it means everyone is involved.

And one more thing. Don’t you hate it when your group members kept cropping up unneccessary things that is not going to help you get your project moving? Like contemplating about this and that? That annoys me so much. But I supposed it’s just my luck.

Because when it comes to choosing groups, my fickle-mindedness landed me in yet a rocky carriage. I sense another one in a near distance too. I hate rocky carriages. They hurt my bum.

Anyway, the election had just passed us. BN lost 9 seats to the oppositions. Serves them right! I mean, I’m with the government, but not our local state government. Trust me. I want the Chief Minister dead just like the next person. But well, I hope the opposition could mean something to them. They keep the BN in check. Even Mahathir himself said it is healthy to have a certain number of oppositions in the Dewan Rakyat. You can’t let the BN get too comfortable lest they get too soft. Well that’s that.

Oh man! I just found a surprisingly amazingly shocking news! Eragon is going to be made into a movie! I thought the book has the potential for a movie tie-in but really, it is so ridiculous the director would just scorn at it as saying it a cross of LOTR and Harry Potter wanna-be. I mean really. This Christopher Paolini must have something other than his crappy writing that could propel his book into this sort of popularity. I mean if you’re a cincai person you’d just overlook his cliches and LOTR and Harry Potter-ness and just enjoy the story as a legal fanfiction. But it just pisses you off. I feel like scratching Paolini’s face each time I stumbled onto a cliche or stupid part. I like, roll my eyes and groan and say "not again…". J.R.R Tolkien’s descendents or J.K Rowling should really sue him!!

But sue him after he finished the trilogy though. Im curious to know what happens next. Its a pity, really. This guy can write, but his ideas are not his. More like recycled ideas of a fanboy.

Oh on another note. I like both Final Fantasy and Suikoden. FF 8 and Suiko 2, to be exact. But I guess if I have to choose, Suikoden is my ultimate favorite because I don’t even play FFX or FFX-2. Where in Suikoden, I have played all five titles. Coming, six. Suikoden 1,2,3,4 and Suikoden Tactics. Suikoden V is just waiting its turn. Mehehehehehe.

Right. I need to go wash my hair. Ta’ra!

Waking up late, having brunch and showering very late in the afternoon is sooo Sunday. And Thundercats! Man I missed that cartoon. I like those two little children cats. Halfway through I was told to go pick up my bro from the golf club. My Thundercats! D:

I’m doing three projects at a time here. My IT assignment, my Research assignment and my own Zackry assignment.

What’s a Zackry assignment you ask? That’s the name of the Words file of the story I plan to post on my website hehehehe. It’s going steadily.

I shall study for maths tomorrow. I actually planned to do it today but I’ll just stick with my initial plan of tomorrow. Besides, the test is on Tuesday.

Mmmm I smeeeelll food.
