Nightmare

Yesterday, I had an accident on my way back home. It was funny, how fast people reacts. Within seconds, more than 15 people running out from no where to help. That was what I thought. HELP.

Eventually, these people keep asking me to get out from the car, ask me not to panic. What happened in the next 5 minutes, I called Kevin, Irfan & Leonard, I went to get the triangle indicator from car boot, the tow truck guy came and everyone dispersed. This guy, told me to check my belongings. Insisting to put my bags away and check whether anything was missing.

And what I found out was the shock of my life... my company's laptop was stolen!! For what ever reason it is, I cannot believed that the guys that were trying to "help" was actually thieves!

I almost broke down, some Malays from the neighbor went to chase after them, someone saw them going under the bridge. All my hard work for the pat 1.5 years are in the laptop. What on earth can I do without the laptop? Not even thinking bout the money I have to pay back to my company, but the work, the files, the information in there.....

I am glad that I survive the ordeal. Only small scratches and body ache which spreads around my back and my right arm. I am glad that my purse and my phones are still with me. I am glad that all the expenses to fix my car is covered by insurance. But, the downside is, my laptop, the one that has been keeping me survive the past 1.5 years. 

God, is this the hardship you want me to endure? Is this a test of faith?

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...

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?...
