Lazy Monday

Got my ears pierced again. For the 2nd time, as the 1st one was a failure. This time, I will make sure it stays because there's no way that I will be doing this again and again... unless I'm addicted to the pain.

Anyway, had my day at the immigration office. I finally got my passport, but the pictures sucks. Kev said I looked like outdated China girl who just came to the city for the very first time. Well mainly its due to the photographer who keep asking me to put my hair behind the ears. He said I have to do that because I have to show my ears in the picture or they will reject it.

So my trendy bob hairstyle flew out the window and I ended up with a 'ah lian' picture for the next 5 years. Even the immigration office were skeptical with the picture as I looked really different in the pictures. If not for the same top that I wore, he could have asked me to retake my pictures.. sigh.

Well, what is there to complain? As long as I get my passport and I will start my journey outside Malaysia for the 1st time in my life. No more looking at pictures or documentaries bout other countries. I think I will start from Singapore, perhaps visiting Ping Ping there. I do miss chatting with her these days.

Anyway, really enjoyed a long weekend without work. And I don't even want to imagine how much work that have piled up all this while. It's nice to be out of routine once in awhile. Really enjoy the time doing window shopping. We went to the mall today and all I did was my piercing, had tea at the Saint Cinnamon, hangout in MPH and then Borders, we basically did not buy anything. 3 hours spent, just like that.

I still have things in my list, but let's hold back awhile and reconsider my budget. Oh well, working again tomorrow, time to iron my clothes. sigh..

we live life in levels and arrive at stages and this is the stage for you to get a passport and explore far and wide.. Who knows why it has come now, maybe there is something out there for you so don't be afraid to venture and wish success in this new adventure.

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?...
