*Allergy is killing me*

Sitting Alone..........

It's so cold tonight. I'm seated outside the entrance of Golden Gate University. Throng of students emerging but none is G-man. It sucks to wait. It really does. People are looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo. Maybe it's just me, haha I'm thinking too much. The streets are still busy with buses and sometimes loud ass cars passing by.

Tick tock tick tock, still waiting......Another group of students pushing the glass door of GGU...hmmm....

People are busy talking, talking nonsense mostly, two students were talking about some linear regression and one said he got negative for it..haha not sure what they were talking about but it's not interesting enough for me to eavesdrop...

Three guys just came out, walking slowly...haha I'm such a nuisance seriously...I'm just sitting here and watching those people coming out of the University..giving them occasional glare :p

We have agreed to go for Indian tonight. Possibly naan and curry. It's cheap, good tasty food and the whole place stinks..haha i like that...i'm really such a weirdo...

okay i guess he's coming out in any second..i better shut this thing and wait for the king to appear....

Ski Trip 03-07-2008

Being 25.....................

I woke up late this morning.

It's been a month now since I started working. The feeling still has not changed. My energy at work has multiplied and don't think it's going to stop any soon. Every morning, I'm eager to get to work, to mingle with co-workers and to perform my very best. Maybe to exceed expectations. I guess that's why sometimes I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Feeling as if needed to break free! Well, just an outpour of emotion. Or perhaps, another vacation soon?

With work and school going on at the same time, my life is incredibly peachy. Sometimes I try looking back. What have I done in the past? I think I pretty much wasted my school years. hahaha All I did was travel. Did not really try to even be better. I focused more on my traveling stuff than my school dissertation!

I digress. I'm not even sure what I'm talking about now.

Back to school work now. At least, standing at this busy intersection, I try not to hurt myself.

Ciao!

4X4 Expo San Mateo

What if

Was thinking of him again.....dear God, stop it please! After so many years, I always have this mental picture of him in my head....it's funny that I still can't find the reasons why I'm so infatuated with this guy....it's also strange how I have this person in my head but he's been gone for a good number of years now...

Sometimes it makes me feel that I'm being unfaithful to G-man but what the hell, I don't even remember his birthday...just the feeling lingers on....that makes me realize something, describing such an abstract phenomenon can really be frustrating...feeling is feeling..it's something "automatic" and there's no button to turn it off...

This is freaky...God is setting me up for something...

So back to reality, life has been treating me well...I've got a great job, great colleagues (at least those in my department), I've got a great guy, even tho I'm not filthy rich, I'm contented with what I got...so maybe that's why I got this imaginary thing going on right now...

Sometimes I would question myself...what if what if...what if I did not travel across the globe..what if I'm still in KL...what if i'm still single...what if i didnt do this what if i didnt do that....too many what ifs...How nice if there's this machine to help me go back in time or even foresee my future...then there won't be what if..

A Wonderful Journey Together

Just one more........................

SHOUT OUT TO Nicole and my best best best best best best best maleeeeee frienddddd Darryl (He's pointing a gun at my head :P) for coming home to North America...hahaha
and joining a new club.....You guys are meant for each other! Seriously, I'm so happy for the two you...tears welling in my eyes now...=D

Many many wonderful years ahead and many many beautiful babies too

Sorry I decided to make a few postings today......yeah yeah, don't worry just one more...this picture is a dose of laughter which cures your loneliness...check this out:

Hillary Clinton

National Election Malaysia 2008

According to the 100% accurate kennysia.com Who-To-Vote-This-Election Decision Generator™, I am voting for...

DEMOCRATIC ACTION PARTY!

DAP

Who Should You Vote For This Election?

While the US is having its own election, my home country, Malaysia is facing the same fate. I think every general citizen who is legal to cast their votes should play his/her part in choosing the leader of their country.

Ohh Betty..

Been working for the past two weeks...oh dear, it's actually not that bad!

My Company

Been trying to get myself acquainted with all the procedures and workload and so far it's really rewarding! It's funny that people always say usually you get some sort of weekly blues especially on Monday...Actually I don't really dread going to work on Monday as it's most probably the busiest day for me. It's official! I'm going to declare my love for MONDAY!!!! I LOVE MONDAY Ya'll!

Been learning some HTML on my own...this book comes in pretty handy.

Papadum!

Spotted this selling in wholefoods papadum

Great stuff!

My Home, My Childhood

just saw a picture that resembles my home in Malaysia...a question came into my head, is it true that one day, my childhood memory will completely be erased? Argghhhhhhhhhh! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Took a second look at the picture, I still could not differentiate whether that's my home or another person's!!!! Sheeeetttttttttttttttttttt!!!!! Blame in on bad design, yes bad design. =) Every home looks the same now.

Phewww...

Wednesday is just another day

So Wednesday is almost over. It has been another great day at work, mingling with my colleagues while squeezing my brain for some words to add to an article. Try being with colleagues which you don't get along, tell me how you feel. This actually happened to me before but I think life is too short for me to actually pay attention.
Cest la vie baby!

I think I been learning a lot for the past few weeks. At work, life hurdles, ups and downs,you name it, I got it. Actually my problem is procrastination. I just need to whoop my ass a little so that I won't be too stressed out about life. It's nice to hear from some old friends once in a while because you can sorta just throw them with the ongoing stuff in your life and they are able to relate this to their own life. I guess everyone taking the center stage or in my case center age now should know how it is to be standing on a thin line trying to figure out which next step to take.

I'm so tired but at the same time, my mind tells me not to stop. I think the only medium that is motivating right now is my mentality. I just don't understand. Sometimes you have a lot of stuff in your life and things are going so well for you, and suddenly you give yourself a full stop. Start asking "what's life", "what's this", "what's that"....bla bla bla...we humans are not meant to feel contented,right?

Missing the times I spent in UK. So carefree, so un-adult-like, time just went by so fast. Wish I was there, once again.

Not sooooo Good....

I had a super nasty experience today. This "someone" was asking me for some suggestions on "something" and being the usual "nice" me actually researched for some tips for his reference. Not only I did not get a polite "thank you" from this person, this guy actually gave me a "big fat slap" on my face. Literally. Just a feeling that struck me during that tense moment.

I shared with him my points but he was sooooo strongly against my two cents that he thought I was some crazy idiotic creature. The fact that the content of his website was only so-so provoked his endless rebuttal that he's actually doing a wonderful job updating it. IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH, I told him. The more the better! But he was quick to show me that he has over 1730 links to his website. I did a quick boolean logic search for amazon and voila, 8 mil! So I made my point.

I suggest he put his ego inside his bag and bring it home. Reconsider. Seriously, as a person who is sincerely offering any help to anyone out there, I have nothing to gain or even lose by saying things I needed to say. My intention was pure and not in one single moment I ever thought of taking advantage or ruining his life. It's just the cold hard fact. Take it or leave it. Be a man. The world does not revolve around you, you one little specimen.

Sunday Roast Pork

Didn't do much on Sunday, except eating. Went for breakfast this morning on West Portal. Enjoy!

All the Best!

A friend just got rejected by two schools for advanced degree. Geez, I dunno what to say but to express my most sincere good luck to him. I think in a way this has to do with the increasing number of people going back to school because the negative impact of the economy is taking its toll on people all over the United States.

Really, just all the best to everyone out there, searching for a job, searching for a school, searching for a lifetime partner, GOOD LUCK! We will survive!

I have two videos that I would like to share with everyone. I'll try uploading the videos tonight...stay tuned!

Happy Sunday...=)

StarFuc*s...

I'm sitting inside starbucks right now, listening to a conversation between two women, for a job interview. The interviewer is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO loud! I think the interviewee is really embarassed. The interviewer is not only loud but she speaks faster than the bullet train. She has this high pitch voice that can wake a giant up from sleep! I think she's a head hunter now....by listening to what she's saying to the other girl. God, no privacy at all! Go and hide somewhere to do this kinda stuff....don't raise your voice in a starbucks! I think I'm leaving this noise polluted starbucks.

Been working for a week now and I'm really enjoying myself. So far, I think I have wonderful colleagues and my manager is so so funny!

I'm so dead tired now. Guess I have to get used to this....I think this is going to be a lifetime thing unless I'm the winner of mega million hefty 280 mil prize!

ciao..

Happy Doggietine's Day!

I want a dog! After seeing all the blogs about dogs, I want a dog!!!!!!

I want my odie back.....yesterday was Valentine's Day and I bought a balloon for Odie...hope he likes it ;) I put it together with the bread that I got from the Italian restaurant...so now Odie has a balloon that says I LOVE YOU and also some food...

I'm out of my mind...

Random thoughts

I just found out that I hate staying home.

Random car noise,tv,music,dogs from next door barking at strangers....it's just so boring!

I seriously need to get out of here before the monster in me starts acting up.

I hate watching tv.....

I hate staying home and watching the clock ticks away.....

RIP to those students who lives were cut short by that one man

I LOVE WORKING

How was your CNY? I've been feeling unwell for the past few days. However, today I'm feeling at my best! I'm sure it has to do with the training I received from my company today. =)

This is the peak flu season and everyone around me is complaining of feeling ill. Gary's dad had to be admitted to the ER because he was coughing non-stop and fever did not subside. Well, that's really bad considering that his dad has high blood pressure and not so young anymore. Glad to see him today feeling much better. Even drove me to the caltrain station! Another good news to add to the books.

So my new job is starting next Tuesday and I'm mainly in charge of the clicks to the website and videos. It's a routine job where I need to do a lot of updates and basically just managing myself. The fun thing is they also have shootings where I get to participate on Saturday and best of all, getting paid for it. :p This is so going to be a fun experience while at the same time, gaining tremendous experience.

Besides work, I'm also applying to schools for MBA and hopefully land on one that will fit my schedule perfectly. Man, it's definitely not easy trying to juggle between school and work. Well, I do hope my hard work will eventually pay.

Nothing much going on as far as relationship or whatsoever. Who wants to listen to that anyways? hehe

I have some imaginary plans right now but won't be disclosing it. Not until something concrete comes up. So keep you guys updated!

Ciao!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hello everyone! Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the rat will decide on a new president, the future of my career path and also we will be updated with news on the Edison Chen scandal. For those who have been following his news, Gillian just had a press conference to clear the matter up. It's rumored that she's doing it because of threats from sponsors. There's no way anymore for them to deny that those pictures were done using the art of photoshop, so, I think they should just admit it. She did not directly admit her WILLING mistake but she briefly said it was because of the fact that she was young and naive back then. So go figure.

I have no say regarding this but I saw all the pornographic pictures and frankly speaking, I did not enjoy seeing Cecilia's bush and Bobo's skeletal frame. As for Gil, it was quite an eye opening experience seeing her posing like a Japanese AV porn star.

Just go google and search for edison chen scandal. Don't ask me for pictures.

Ciao

A Tiny Update

Happiness

Am watching this TV program with happiness as the main topic. What is happiness? Some folks interviewed on TV said that happiness means more money. Some said happiness means simply being happy. So, what about you?

I couldn't disagree more on the latter but what about money and happiness?

MONEY=HAPPINESS ???

Can money really buy happiness? Ok so what about when you had a really bad day at work and went for a shopping spree just to cure your unhappiness? And when you had a hard time at home and went for some lavish buffet? So now, you need money to do all those things right? Back to the same question:

Can happiness really be bought by money?

What are my avenues

I'm not sure for how long I'm going to bore all of you with the stories of my interviews...

So last week on Friday I went for yet another interview....1,2,3,4....I'm not too sure how many interviews I been to now...ok anyhow, the interview lasted for about 35minutes..short considering that I been to longer ones...2 hours max! The regional VP was the one sitting with me in the room...surprisingly this time I'm so fed up with interviews that the butterflies in my stomach had flown away...They didnt ask me much questions, just a lot of talking on the role and what I can be expected to be doing..a little on the company, this company does online advertising, instead of the mundane static banner ads/flash ads, this company specializes in video ads..the idea is definitely refreshing and they been around for 7 yrs now developing rather rapidly..they have offices all over the world and the san francisco office has just been operating for ard 1 yr...so don't really see too many ppl or fixtures....i know this is going to be a challenging job as I am required to handle the marketing side of it + all of the administrative duties...pay is not really that grand to be discussed here...so conclusion, i have to call the VP on Thursday as requested by him...I'm not sure if I'm getting this job, HOPE I do cuz this is going to be a great start for me to polish on different skill set..

BTW, VP is donald trump lookalike...hehe...esp the hair part...:P

wondering when is the market is going to pick up again...

till then, take care everyone!

Wazzup for 2008

How's your new year celebration?

Mine wasn't all that great to talk about, just fireworks and plenty of sleep for the first day of a new year. G-man and I been immersing ourselves in computer games lately. This is SO going to be temporary cuz it's always like this. By the way, on the first day of new year, we went to get champagne from safeway and I bought a winning lotto scratch card! Damn, 25 bucks cha-ching! Felt so great for winning money on the first day of new year. This year is going to be another best year of my life!

Due to my lack of sleep, my neck feels so freaking stiff. Adding to that, the storm is pretty bad over this side of the bay. Gosh, even that freaking bbq cover was blown away! Never found. WTF. The pots were damaged with cracks and the yard is so severely ruined. We were out of power for one day and only got it back last night around 9pm. We had no choice but to eat all the ice cream in the freezer and had to cook dinner in the dark. To add to our misery, someone random decided to knock on our door to give us a "power outage" scare! Fu&* jebus.

Another interview update, went to the 2nd interview two days ago. Did the presentation and the exercise given. I think I did ok. So they going to get back to me next week with a decision. Honestly, it's not the job or company that I'm interested with, it's the money. I'm so broke. Shit. Holiday shopping did some damage to my account. This dress, that shoe...i'm so in trouble now.

Ok will post the video of the fireworks next.

Take care and have a wonderful 365 days...opppss...minus 5 days since today is the 5th.

Ciao!

Happy New Year

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 2008 is here!!

Happy New Year to all my friends and those who read my blog.

A little bit update for the coming New Year (it's still eve here in SF), just had lunch at our favorite HK cafe on Noriega and talked to this interview guy on the phone. It was alright but we had to reschedule to chat more. Gawd, I dun understand the interview system over here. Ok, yeah I know that it is useful to filter out those "incompatible" candidates for the job but isn't difficult to tell how a person is unless you see that person face to face? Sigh..

Ok on merrier news, tonight we are going out to ferry building to usher in the new 2008 ya'll!

Recap on location for those who live in San Francisco and planning to go out to see fireworks tonight, the information:

Place: Ferry Terminal
Time:11.59 and 59seconds (^P^)
Bart information: Free from 8pm onwards to 5am

To avoid any congestions, it is advised that everyone should take advantage of the muni system because it is FREE from 8pm onwards. You guys can go out and have dinner ala france for few hours and then walk to the terminal. Restaurants recommended nearby (non-french) are Gordon Biersch, Palomino, Chaya, Waterfront and a lot more...........

I'm not endorsed by opentable but try it, it's good to have reservations!

Good Luck and Happy New Year folks!!!!

Michael "deformed" Jackson

Oh ya did you guys read about Michael Jackson's lips falling apart? EWWWWWWWWWWWW

Post-Christmas

Received a letter in the mail today. Ho ho ho! Paris is sending me and Gary free accommodation for 3 days!!! Yipppeeeee!!! It's for next month and on certain dates.

I'm not going to talk about jobs or interviews. Trying to steer my mind away from this for a while. What's better to do now than to go shop for stuff. Woke up at 6am on Boxing Day to prepare myself for shopping. Was a bit late when we got to downtown cuz most of the additional 50% off stuff were already gone. :( What a bummer! Managed to stop by Benetton and bought whole bunch of stuff! I got 5 pieces within 30 minutes! Whooootttt! I got all the stuff for additional 50%! We had so little time to shop that morning cuz we had to go to Thunder Valley (Casino) with Grandpa. But I got what I wanted, so, it's fine. We continued our shopping spree today and I got a pair of Lucky jeans and Gary got his New Year's eve attire, a sweater, jeans and shoes. I'm starting to like Lucky a lot especially when everything is 50% off. ^-^ Nordstrom is really weird cuz there's not much sale for women but they got whole bunch of things on sale for men! How unfair! I was really looking forward to shopping at Nordstrom.

Anyway, damage has been done to my bank account. Well, I can always return some of the stuff which I don't need later on. So it's all good.

I ate so much for the past few days. We went for buffet on Xmas day, pretty much spent 3 hours being a glutton. Before that, we had no where to go so we went to fisherman's wharf to join the crowd. It was quite a relaxing Christmas this year. Last year I think I did spend a really boring Xmas without doing anything.

Let's pray that next year is going to be better and of course me with a job.

Happy Christmas from the Elves

Don't send a lame Holiday eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Merry Christmas from all of us!

Don't send a lame Holiday eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

New Me

Friends, families, sisters, brothers, aunties and uncles...

I got a new layout for my blog...hope it's easier to navigate and better for the eyes

xoxoxoxox

muaccckkksss

After shopping....

Me and my favorite fish, blackie!

Blackie has a tank mate and her name is Reddie. After one tragic incident, they both lost one of their eyes. Don't ask me why because I'm not sure what happened. I think it was gas leak and they got really sick. Fungus ate it. I was trying to save them for almost 3 weeks, giving them antibiotics and caring for them like my own babies. I lost two fishy during that period and I have had those two for a long time. Now I got these two, reddie and blackie, and another pleco named Fat Long. I almost lost hope when they did not seem to recover. Very lifeless, always hiding at the bottom and I was really sad. But I told myself not to give up that easily. So I nurtured them. Gave them the medicines they needed and did water change. Read about their illness. Finally, now they are eating again and swimming so happily! =)

The moral of the story, we must not give up too easily because as long as you have hope, there's always chance for things to turnaround.

How's your xmas shopping?

Sweeney Todd

Skunk looking Depp

Just came back from another Tim Burton brainchild movie! Sweeney Todd rocks! It's a combination of everything. Revenge, love, violence, comedy! Tim Burton did it again. He convinced me once again that his movie is worth that 10 bucks I spent.

A recap of the movie:

A sailor, Sweeney Todd came back to London to seek revenge from a judge whom took away his wife and basically his happiness. Then he went back to the place he used to live and met this owner of the pie shop operating downstairs from his old place, by the name of Mrs.Lovett. Mrs.Lovett took him in and she allowed him to use his old place to operate a barber shop, Todd's occupation before he became a sailor. He killed his first customer who was trying to blackmail him as he knew his real identity. That's when provoked the killings of others and how they came up with the idea of using those dead people as meat for the pies.

I'm not going to elaborate on the killings nor how did she make the pies. It was gross but in a way, comedic. You guys gotta watch this!

A brilliant movie for the adults. Kids gotta stay away because it's just too bloody.

Ok Im going to zzzzz now..

Out.

The Time of the Day

Hey Santa, I've been really good this year

Splenda splendid! Just got the confirmation for second round of interview! =) Yippeee....

Was up whole day since 7 and fortunately it wasn't just another effort going down the drain..

They are giving me a week to come up with my presentation and also to brush up on my excel skills. As usual, it's just the first day of everything, so Im pretty calm and excited to adjourn to my next level...I'm sure when the date gets closer, I'll get butterflies in my stomach..

Anyway, the interview went really well...i was interviewed by three guys, one a bit older and the other two quite young...so the older guy was the first one to see me because he was the earliest of the brady bunch while the others were late that morning...i think nobody goes to work at 9 anymore...so i spoke to him for about 30 mins and we got someone knocking on the door...it was the product analyst intern, one of the young guys who was supposed to interview me at 9am...then 10 mins went by and the director of marketing came in to catch up with the interview...damn, i had to repeat myself three times! I started losing my voice because I was talking too much...so yadda yadda yip, the interview ended around 10.20am...the director told me to expect for another two rounds of interview and second should be technical where I need to show them my presentation (analysis) + excel skills...

I'm really grateful for this chance and if there's one really concrete reason why I would like to work for this company it should be that everybody's friendly there...I was even greeted by the co-founder of the company! Really impressed that he wasn't late...haha

So in this one week, I need to do what I got to do...+ WE ARE GOING TO TAHOE! My much needed vacation! =) I'll try to be really nice this xmas..so santa please bring me some presents hehe and also some good news...G-man is sick today so Ive been making fresh orange juice for him..the tally comes up to 15 oranges today! We really need the vitamin C and immunity during this time of year...so please take care of yourself and don't fall sick...drink more water and stay warm =)

Have a safe journey if there's a plan to go somewhere for xmas and if not, just relax and have a very merry holidays and xmas!

ho ho ho, sorry for lack of pictures....been busy...

Xmas

So how's it going? I'm in the process of sending out xmas cards. Hope the cards get to the intended recipients on time. :P

Let's not talk about other things except xmas. I'm sure downtown is packed with holiday shoppers now. I really like the atmosphere but there are some issues which are the shortcomings during season like this. First of all, parking. Do you know that it takes at least 30-45 minutes just to park our car in downtown? And add another 10-15 minutes to walk to your favorite store to browse. So that's like an hour just to get out of the car and do your shopping. Second, food, the food court, the restaurants are so jam packed with people that you won't have any other alternatives but to eat fast food. Even though fast food is seriously great and I don't mind the so called calories, it is still boring when you have to eat it all the time whenever you are out in town. Third is the line. It is the most horrible thing ever! When you are happily bringing your item to the cashier, you see a line longer than the Great Wall, you just have to tell yourself, "fook it"...seriously, that really deters me from purchasing. It's not helping when the person attending to the cashier is slow and always so chitty chatty with whoever that comes up to her.


I enjoy xmas. It's a really nice occasion for friends and family to get together. We have a small party with a friend on eve. So it's going to be one merry day. One thing nice about christmas is the special drinks from coffee places. *bucks is serving peppermint mocha/hot chocolate, gingerbread latte, eggnog latte and whole bunch of xmas cookies. You know that MAN looking cookie ;). Sometimes they have their *bucks entourage to serve free drinks to shoppers. It's really good! Don't really mind walking past them 10 times! =) They have some cheer pass now. It's buy one get one free. Good deal knowing that they charge premium price for their drinks.

Really missing Odie this year. Another year has gone by. How are you doing baby? Hope all is well up there.

Le sigh

Another day another dime...

The interview this morning was brief but informational. Got to know more of this "anti-virus" company. If I did get this job, I would have to put in 1000x of effort. In fact, I've been snooping at borders on web based advertising related information and found it to be exceptionally interesting. Did you know that google has a pet which is called "spider" to track what we click? That's where google AdWords from. Ok, I do not want to bore you guys with all those marketing jargons.

It has not been easy looking for a job. It made me a different person. At least now I know I'm still lacking in so many areas in terms of knowledge. Damn, it sucks just thinking about it. I know there's nothing called THE PERFECT JOB and THE PERFECT CANDIDATE but it's so depressing that there isn't any good outfit to match one another. You want it, they may not give it to you. Duh!

Oh yes, did you know blogging can be considered as a "skill" nowadays? It's strange but true! So if you guys are putting your resume together, why not include blogging. Blogging teaches us a lot of things which we don't realize such as those who love to play with adobe creative suite and help us remember all those english words we seldom use.

Finding a job is definitely frustrating. When you see a good opportunity for you to advance, all of a sudden, you don't hear anything back from the company. Le sigh... =( When you don't really want the job, that person from the other end keeps on calling you...what on earth?!

So what's going on with all of you? Working? Xmas-ing? Or like me, still looking?

Whatever that comes my way, I'm going to accept it...I'm not letting this one hiccup taking my optimism away...so stay positive ya'll!

im out, peace!

Interviews

Jebus, I have two interviews coming up next week....

G-Man and I were talking yesterday about stupid interview questions and how we should answer them, for eg:

1) What are your weaknesses?

That's for you to tell me

2)What are your strengths?

That's for you to find out

3) If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you want to be and why? (WTH)

I want to be a crocodile, so I can just swallow you alive right now

4) What do you see yourself in 5 years?

Sitting right where you are and with you no where in sight

5) Why do you want to work for us?

Because I need a job


It's actually quite true that ppl usually ask some imbecile questions. I am terribly annoyed by ppl who love to ask what is your plan in X amount of years...hello??? how would I know! If I'm that good with knowing the future, I should just become a fortune teller!

I had a good experience and a bad one for phone screening. Of course that bad one was from a F.E.M.A.L.E. biatch...

story coming up...

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving! =)

Whatever the F

A Night of Fun Shots

Currently reading THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN.

What a boring day once again! Went downtown to search for some excitement but end up just eating at Cheesecake factory. Nothing special at all. I carried my laptop all over downtown today. Felt like a dumb ass bitch. Geeeezzz....Still trying to add things on my resume.

I'm starting to wake up real late. Really really late. I was waking up around 8am but nowadays, it's 10/11....around noon time, my eye starts tearing and i feel like just knocking myself out. Oh my, maybe it's because I have nothing to do????

I've been dragging myself to cafes to stay awake which means COFFFFEEEEEE!! I'm drinking so much coffee that my system is starting to reject the caffeine. I'm drinking coffee as if drinking water! Caffeine does not even work on me now. Omigod.

I'm hoping G-man can give me some of his work to me so I can help him out a little bit. He's working on this deal but it's just another mundane deal so there won't be too much stuff to do. Damn! It's not even the end of the year but people are already having pre-celebrations.

I hope I land on something soon so that I won't have to complain but I'm sure, I'll complain of something else then. =P

Ok have a great weekend.

Shake me baby

Finally done with Shopaholic and Baby. Another fine read. Haven't been doing much lately, just slacking pretty much. But again, since when I've had a lot of things to do?hehe

I'm currently hunting for a marketing job and just got my resume updated this afternoon. Man, it sucks. Terribly. I just had a mock interview with G-Man at dinner. God, dinner time is for eating NOT some sort of mock interview session! G-man has been motivating enough though. He wants me to have a career, so do I. I want the money! I'm so broke after all the weddings.

I'm feeling the obesity bug hitting me again. Endless supply of bread which means carbohydrate intake is really high these days. I really need to cut down on that and stop saying there's always tomorrow to start my diet regime. I don't feel healthy when slabs of meat start showing up left and right. Grrrrrrr...time to start exercising again. Well, tomorrow of course.

San Francisco was struck by a 5.6 magnitude earthquake few days ago. Big one is coming. It's closer. I just need to dream it. hahaha I'm serious. My sixth sense is pretty strong. I'm no psychic but I can feel things. Scary isn't it? Back to the earthquake the other day, I was sipping tea inside a cafe when all of sudden I could feel like a Harley Davidson passing by with super loud engine causing the earth to shake a little bit. Little attention was paid to that but when the shaking went from some vehicle engine magnitude to super construction drilling magnitude, I started to look around just to confirm my suspicion. Everyone was looking quite jolted but no one made any action. I was already picturing my next action which was of course to hide under the table I'm sitting at. We were lucky because it was just a 30 seconds scare. The shaking stopped and I could see people were so mighty glad. Almost had to say goodbye to my pot of China green tea. Hella good, recommended. Not during earthquake though.

Oh the day became so long yesterday since we had to go back an hour. We don't need any time machine here, it's officially an hour behind starting yesterday. Ok guys, need to do some facebook-ing now. See you there.

status hair update

i wanna get new haircut!

Posting posting

Haven't been actively writing. I'm sick now so I'm just chilling out at home. Sometimes, randomly turning the laptop on to check on jobs. With Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, I'm really not motivated to work YET. =P Well so whoever poses questions on job finding, I just say "still looking". Omigod I'm so lazy.

Since I'm still nursing my health, we have no plans to go anywhere or do anything for halloween. Just staying home and watch those old TVB series.

ok im out!

One Day Trip to Sunnyvale =p

Gummie

Gummie cheers me up every wednesday!

Stress and More Stress

I want to tear open her heart and see what's the color.

Great Wednesday!!

After Odie's passing, it's been months of agony and pain. It's almost a year now. Really unable to believe that Odie's been gone for that long. Anyhow, life goes on. Now our life is brightened by another sweetheart named Gummie. We are his doggie-sitters!!!
Gummie is also a golden retriever, a puppy that's not even a year old. We take care of him every Wednesdays to sit in for his owners that are away out of the country. Usually he goes to daycare everyday, so, he's really sociable and hyper!

His temperament is so much more better than Odie though. He listens to us all the time and won't really pull us whenever we bring him out on the leash. What a charmer!
He's a little bit smaller than Odie but definitely bigger in the heart. Heard his breeder is really strict with the temperament and won't simply cross breed with other siblings. Ethical enough.

Ok I'm going for my everyday exercise at Golden Gate Park. Join me!

Out.

Boring!

I'm under so much stress. We are still waiting for several companies to get back to us on quotes etc etc. Stupid table linen will cost us $37.50. Why the f does it cost so much! Anyway, Gary's been arguing a lot with his parents lately. It's really ugly. Just today they had a row in the car. *roll eyes*.

As far as my own personal live, well, been shopping a lot lately trying to find the right dress for banquet. I've decided to get two, one which is "prom" like and another more mature look. Besides that, I still need to check on the hairstyle to match my dress. Yeah, it's so boring right?

We went to watch Bourne Ultimatum today. MUST WATCH if you been following the previous two movies. One thing that I really wanna know, did the dude that write this book got his idea from the movie JAMES BOND? Jason Bourne=James Bond?

Out.

The piglet that I got from an arcade in london w/ a very tired looking me 3 in the am

Well,it's Monday again. Just another mundane day for me. The day started off with a hot cup of milo (must have) and cnn.com. duh.

Went to look at some evening gowns today.Hmmm...I'm not truly satisfied with what I saw but time is running out, so I must pick one from the "I forgot the number" of stores I went to. I have yet finalized on couple of things mainly for the banquet.

Gosh, I'm so terribly in stress thus why the hot tempered meme for the past few weeks. We were eating at his dad's restaurant when I had to "yell" at him for a small matter that occurred. I hope no one heard me. =P We patched things up like few minutes later though. He's in super bad mood too and constantly in whining mode.It's just like something out of the movie!

To all the couples that are planning to wed, I strongly suggest wedding planner. It saves you a lot of your time, your frustration, anger and pressure from the parents. When the parents ask you on the process, just yell back that THE WEDDING PLANNER IS TAKING CARE OF IT!

Ok im out.

Back

I'm back from my trip to UK. It's been such a pleasurable trip and it's good to rekindle the friendship again with my best buddy, Nico. It's been few months since we last met each other.

So, I've graduated but my life pretty much stays the same. I'm constantly bombarded with chores and it's really getting on my nerve. I'm losing grip of my consciousness.
Just today, I was again "pressured" to plan the itinerary for the 5-day trip to KL this October. WTF. I know it's good to plan early but it's 3 mths away. Hello??? Give me a break will ya! All they know is to throw the things at me and when things don't go right according to their very own standards, I get blamed. Where is justice???!!!
Man, I'm going to explode very very soon. This is why plan B comes into picture. Moving to UK, permanently. Yup, in a way, I am really trying to shy away from reality but when this kinda thing happens over and over again after arguments, quarrels, cold wars, I think I've had enough. I am officially looking for a school to do my master degree in UK. Besides, I love my freedom more than I love anyone else. =P Maybe I'm not a good candidate to become a filial wife and daughter-in-law. But WHATEVER. Go die.

I have so many pictures that I really wanted to share with all of you. The pictures are simply too big to upload right now. Maybe later.

Ok, I'm out for now.

Thanks for listening.

UK

I'm going back to UK for a week. Call me if anyone wanna meet 07733482686.=P

Ciao!

US of A

I'm back in US! With a pimple on my face..fark!

In 3 more hours, I'm flying back to Uncle Sam's abode. Will be waiting at Heathrow, London for 2 hours plus. It's not that bad considering I've waited longer in Japan few years ago. 6 Hours!!! I've done a thorough clean up of the room and leaving this lovely shelter of mine is definitely saddening. Guess this is part of life and just gotta brave myself in enduring this overwhelming emotions.

So I guess I won't be updating for few days.

Pics taken using photobooth. ;)

Flying on a jet plane

Tomorrow is the day I'm flying back to US. Weeee!!! Well, I'm going to miss Newcastle for sure. Actually it won't be a full sayonara as I'm coming back for my convocation ceremony in July. I was just checking out some of the places I could go in Europe before my full departure from this place.

Perhaps Venice? Heard it's so romantic and beautiful. I'm a sucker for romantica. hehehe and of course Marine's place in the alps. Since it's all pretty close and linked together, maybe I should go ahead with it. =) I was checking some rosetta stone language softwares that I can buy to brush up on my language skills. ;). Or I should just join the classes offered by city college in sf? Those softwares aren't cheap at all. It can cost up to USD200. Hmmm..

At the mean time, I'm listening to some italian songs. So soothing.....my knowledge of Italy stems from my uncle who was once married to an Italian lady (they have divorced) and my uncle been living in Italy for over 20 years. Maybe I should pay him a visit? I am definitely curious to find out how my cousin brother looks like. hehehe

Another thing which drives me to Italy is their pizza!!!! The best pizza I ever had so far was from Gordon Biersch which uses the brick "oven" to bake it to perfection. I think that can be considered as "original"?? Not so sure. Definitely have to see it with my own eyes. You know, I really hate pizzas that have been altered, in the sense that pizzas that are of "fusion" category. I know Gordon Biersch serves Thai chicken pizza and to me, it's much better to just stick to the original of cheese, prosciutto or sausage and good old sauce. Man, love it! A thin layer adds to the orgasmic experience!

I really should start saving up for my trip. ;) There are too many places to visit in Europe alone and most of the time, the cities are so beautiful. Living in US, we do not have too much choices except for some buildings, mountains and maybe casinos. =( Gary and I plan to make a roadtrip around US someday, SOMEDAY.

Emptiness

Thanks!

Oh man look at that!


My super super super nice classmate cum best gal friend!

Ok, Marine, let me say something here about our friendship:

It's been super great knowing you. You have your influence on me, hehe, positive influence of course! You are determined, hardworking and really a great companion for anything. I know it's difficult knowing that we won't be seeing each other again, I mean not as frequent, =P, but it doesn't mean we can't be friends anymore. Those strategy classes, the constant yawning, the ridiculous laughter, the group work (in fact thats how we got to know each other) and the days of kicking some asses, I will remember deeply in my heart. =)

Ok, this is getting way too emotional hehe we shall see each other very soon! Let's conquer Alps and of course the places that we wanna go. ;) Do come and visit me in US.

Heartbroken

Hate is not a crime...........
