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..

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...

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?...
