Misery

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Being woken up by an agitated phone call may be …*ashlin votes*, one of the worst ways to start your day. Today is the 2nd last day to submit your income taxes everybody…provided you’re taxable in Malaysia. So if you have a tax question, i don’t mind helping…BUT if you have asked me the same question 10 billion times and I’ve given u the same answer 10 billion times back, DON’T call me… call the income tax department!!!!! Geeez …. And you would have thought doing a good deed would improve one’s karma…I think my good deed just chopped a few years off my life….bleh

Misery (Soul Asylum)

They say misery loves company
We could start a company and make misery

Frustrated, Incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you’d pay to see

Put me out of my misery
I’d do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy making misery

We could build a factory and make misery
We’ll create the cure; we made the disease

Frustrated, Incorporated
Frustrated, Incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you’d pay to feel

Put me out of my misery
All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Forever after happily, making misery

Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need
Was it only envy, so empty

Frustrated, Incorporated
Frustrated, Incorporated

Frustrated, Incorporated (put me out of my misery)
Frustrated, Incorporated (I’d do it for you, would you do it for me)
Frustrated, Incorporated (forever after happily)
Frustrated, Incorporated (making misery)
etc…

Lalalalalalalalala……..

So anybody has any good ideas to perk me up?

Current mood: frustrated

Brain status: still feels like a raisin

Days to exam: 38

this is gonna be a looooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggggg day

Raisin brain

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

If you guys were wondering why it rained so heavily this past week, it’s because ashlin went for her mock exams for the first time this week….and on top of that she also went to the library and studied the whole day….

Reasons why she sat for mock this semester:

  1. counting down the days to exams isn’t freaking her out…YET!
  2. IF she were to die this semester, she might as well die one extra time to get the hang of dying in the exam hall
  3. to practice how to bullshyte during exams and get your bullshyte marked
  4. so she can compare among her classmates as to who’s bullshyte earned the most "colouful" lecturer comments
  5. Mr Teo threathens suspension from college…bleh…he’ll probably just come in and nag us again

this was how my day went…slept at 3am the nite before, woke up at 6am to give megat his wake up call,…snooze… woke up again at 6:05am to give megat another wake up call…snooze…finally wakes up and drags self to the bathroom…rubs eyes and sees ashlin still asleep in the mirror…rubs eyes some more, ……… in between brushing teeth, washing face, cold shower & peeing, was contemplating if i should call megat and tell him ashlin’s bed won the comfy bed vs evil library battle….

but as i successfully yanked my jeans up (while cursing myself for eating too much at dinner), i heard the vroom vroom of dato megat’s newly modified car…with springs and "SKIRTS" outside…sighs…drags my bag of bricks out the door…

reached sunway at 7:30am…nescafe tarik satu at the mamak to last til the college library opens its doors at 8:30am….ashlin sits down in the library…and starts flipping her notes like her life depends on it…everything is a blur….finally found something familiar….R-P-C…hmmm tries to figure out if it means Real Pengsan Case or Real Property Company …in between her attempt to figure out how important this would be to her life…megat interupts with a mind boggling question… "witholding tax, interest 10% rite?"…ashlin gives megat a blank look….i answer with a "hmmmm…good question dato…i’ll look it up"..ashlin flips her notes tryin to look resourceful secretly hoping megat would find the answer to his own question….

Simpsons

man, i felt like my brain shrinked everytime megat asked me a question…by the time he mentioned "let’s go for nasi lemak", my brain was the size of a RAISIN! then i thought, maybe my brain needs some food….tags along with the guys for nasi lemak…

after lunch, back at the library…ashlin gives up RPC and tries WHT…i think maybe that chapter should have been abbreviated as WTF!!!…and soon enough..it’s time for the mock exam… 2 1/2 hours of bullshyting and the remainder was spent playing solytaire on my phone…yes i was bored out of my wits….perhaps i shouldn’t have left my mp3 player with john…

and the question of the day had to be when i reached home & got out of dato’s car and he asked…"same time tomorrow?"…….now this is what i call a RPC (REAL PENGSAN CASE)

hahhaha for those who survived reading the HAPPS of my ever HAPP life…RESCUE ME…..

39 days to exams……only 39….

My visit to KPMG yesterday was rather interesting as it got me thinking a lil on my future career options (something i have not exactly given much deep thought unless you count day dreamin)…hence i started googling for info. Since i wasn’t armed with the exact URLs, i had a rather trying time looking for what i wanted (since malaysian websites are ever so "CANGGIH"!)

And from my "research", i came up with a conclusion that i may end up:

  1. contributing to the Unemployment statistic
  2. lowly paid slave in Ali Baba & Co accounting firm
  3. one of those irritating sales person harrassing patrons at the kopitiam to buy bubblegum flavoured layer cake, inkless pens, malaysia boleh colouring books……

My Chemistry teacher once told me that he could sometimes visualize some of his students’ future and told me he thinks i’m most likely to end up in a power suit sitting in a nice office….bleh…i wonder if i’m ever gonna get there.

11 years minimum to reach partner level is one miraculous feat. But to begin with i have to finish my Association of Crazy Confused Aliens course!! Now how do i do that without falling asleep on my textbooks?

Hmmmm…perhaps i should try Hammie’s way.

Tickle my fancy?

Sunday, April 24th, 2005

Just changed the design and was haggling between the "Forest Green" and "Tickle"….and Tickle wins. and now my page is pink. yippee. i decided that i shall go with the fairytale princess pink theme for the time being as i’m not so much of a Jungle Jane  person. Perhaps i should try the goth black theme next…

Excuse me for my JAKUN-ness but this blog thing is really catching onto me and considering this is my first bloggie, i shall be experimenting with this site in all possible ways…. nevermind the fact that i should be studying instead :P i’ll kick myself later.

Hands “FREE” ?

Friday, April 15th, 2005

Nokia is currently advertising a new "HANDS FREE" campaign much to my amusement, i SOOooo have to take a jab at this one! u tend to notice various habits of drivers and passengers, especially if you are a "chauffeured driven princess" like mua….hahahaha. now where should i start?

Hands free eating while driving

Having your girlfriend, or mother feed you while you’re trying to muster a U-turn or reverse into a parking lot. (takes quite a lot of skill for the feeder and eater to not make a mess or feeder poking the driver’s eye out when feeding with forks or satay sticks)

Hands free drinking while driving

Quite similar to the eating concept above except, be careful of the straws. and is it really critical to sip that last drop of coke from the can while you’re driving at breakneck speed eventhough somebody else is holding the can? How is it possible to tilt your head back just to get that all "important" last drop while maintaining your sight of the road? "SKILLFUL" drivers indeed… even Formula1 drivers aren’t as skillful as our handsfree drivers! credits to the fellow feeders as well!!

Hands "FREE" talking while driving

  1. Holding your phone rite infront of your mouth while it’s on SPEAKER mode
  2. Holding the mic of the hands free kit so close to your mouth u can taste it
  3. Having your friend hold your phone to your ear or rite infront of your face

Don’t these people know the actual purpose of hands free kits? or are they just hungry. Although handphones come in various shapes and sizes, i doubt they taste good…and besides,digestion mite be a problem!

Hands free grooming while driving

Having your carpool buddy to comb your hair, put your tie on or apply make up while you are driving……hahahaha these are reallly hillarious to watch.

i’ve also seen hand free scratching while driving….resulting in the passenger scratching the drivers arm while he is driving….they might have been flirting,…but they were 2 middle aged men.LOL

Now with Nokia’s "hands free zones", i’m sure there’ll be more interesting "Hands free" activities to look out for!!!…… CONNECTING PEOPLE ……. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

beat me not….break me not…
