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..

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...

Stupidity

Life has been a mess for the past whole week. Juggling between work and family is not my strength. I certainly missed mum being around. He just lost his respect from all his children. He knew it before and he definitely knows it now. But he's just too arrogant to come back and admit that it's his fault that things turn out so badly. I confronted him for his actions last night. I have never raised my voice against him, but yesterday, it's just really unbearable. If I knew what happened later after I left, I would have screamed my lungs out and bring my brothers along with me. Last night, what you did is plainly stupid. Stupid, for leaving your family behind. Stupid, for seeking for comfort from others while your wife is here waiting at home. Stupid, for not caring over your children. Stupid, for ignoring your responsibility as a son, a husband and a father. You have definitely lost what you had all this while. All because of your ego, arrogance and stupidity.
