News of the day!

It's 6 o'clock now. As usual, sitting in front of the PC, in office. Had a bad arm since yesterday, probably for lifting some heavy files few days back.. 6 more days to go and well, lots of things in my mind. A round-up of some events today:

American Idol 5: as expected, Taylor Hicks is the winner. Some said he's not talented enough to deserve it, but seriously, he standouts from the start of the season. He left an impact on everyone that follows the show, and I've only seen him thrice. Perhaps, it's unexpected after the favourites were voted out.. Many felt unjusticed for Chris Doughtry, but hey, it's ur decision, ain't it? And now, the more important thing is what does Taylor Hicks got for his "Soul Patrol" (his ultimate fans)? That, we'll have to see.

FIFA World Cup 2006: Friendly matches results:
Ecuador vs. Colombia: 1-1
Australia vs. Greece: 1-0 (half-time), interesting match to watch. Let's see how does Australia fare in international matches, and in this match with Greece, the champions of EURO 2004. Ahhh.....15 days to World Cup.. Good that I'm back at home.

Electricity up by 12%: Another price hike?! First gas, than poultry, and now electricity. Thought PM said there wouldn't be any price hike few days back.. Talk about uncertainties.. Maybe we should resume to candles and matchsticks again. Seems that everythings is going up, except our salary. Sad day for Malaysians..

KLCI: Another dip of 3.78 to 923.97 points at closing. What the hell do I care about composite index? All I'm concerned right now is how prone people are to stress nowadays, after losing money, lots of it in the share market. There'll be a big hike in mental illness' cases i presumed. India, has been cautious and aware of the possibility of a rise in suicide cases after the big drop in their sharemarket. I think, Malaysians should be more aware of this too...

So, that's pretty much of what I've read today. It's certainly covers up the current issue, economy, sports and entertainment. Hey, I didn't realize that!

And as Patrick Teoh said in his blog (Comedy tragedy, and everything else in between), reading newspaper nowadays has been such fun. It's full of mysteries and entertainment (in a sarcastic way), way better that TV shows.. A good one there..

Why Germany? It seems that they are lacking in something, couldn't put it which aspect though. They'll be in semis, but winning it? Not so sure about it..

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
