There are a few parties I would like to involve in this edition of my rants. Firstly, my cocksterous, miserly sister, who was cheated.. not once.. but twice.. of sale occasions. Last week she saw an Everlast sneakers that she liked but she hesitated to buy due to her "sour nose poo" attribute. Last Sunday, no shoes... kecian dier. Spotted a bag which could transform into a sling and tote and wat not.. today check... sold out. I shared with her one attribute of mine... grab and go :-)Another person I would like to mention is Mister Ben Oh. He has changed abit. He is more open minded and not conserved to himself. I have some advice for this friend of mine. F**k the nationalism crap. Go for it broooooo.... yoo can doo eeet... Kah mon ! YeaK... The song's for you brudda...
I would also like to blabber about Development Bank of Singapore. I went to the Civic Centre branch at 8.15pm to draw money. To my utter disgust, out of the 4 ATM machines, 1 were faulty, the other 3 had no receipts. After withdrawing money, I turned behind wanting to update my mum's passbook at the cash deposit / passbook update machine. Guess wat ? Can't update. Out of these 3 machines, only 1 is working and there is a GSS-like queue for this one. To top it all off, the designated passbook update machine also wasn't able to update the passbook. Underlines the fact that machines suck. Matrix ? Imagine living in the Matrix and all of a sudden your life freezes thanks to the blue screen of death... Packet loss ? Cocksterous...
Gonna rent car again this weekend. Spend some quality time with friends and family. Not gonna blabber about work cos you know what am I going to say about it :-D
It's great to be happy...

Heheh.. so much has happened in these few days. I don't know where to begin.Went to the IT Fair at Suntec City on the guise of checking out the S$300 + tv. Instead, found a quite irresistable offer for a 40" Samsung LCD TV. It costs like S$1049. Looked at it, for a very long time. Thinking... thinking.. of how to get that in the living room. Grabbed the handphone in the pocket, dialled my sister... no answer... increasingly irritated by her... called Mum instead... She said yes to pool the money for the tv.. around S$250 bucks each family member... and viola ! Signed the damn order form... expecting delivery in 2 weeks.. guess wat ? it will arrive 4 days later ! Wednesday, 18 Mar 2009. Woot !
TV arrived on Wednesday. My God...... MY GOD !!! Never will I complain about trashy pictures anymore... Arsenal FC never looked soooo good.. KNIGHT RIDER (the David Hasselhoff version) never looked soo awesome... CSI.. well, lets just say crime scenes just got more real... Can't wait for the HD set top box ....
I never thought that I would feel happy again. Back to listening happy songs.. smiling, laughing. Things at home are picking up.. Things at work are picking.. Things within me are picking up too... What can I do but smile :-)
Mazeeks : you look... carefree nowadays... *fishy look*
Zaki : woot !!! *grinningly oogling at the television screen*

Hehehe... been smiling alot these past few days. Probably I am feeling much much happier. Thanks to God for all the happiness that He has bestowed upon me.Went karaoke last Friday with Ariff, Yanie, Mas, Hariana and Din. Yeak, did renditions of some of my favourite songs, notably Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. Just cheekily felt that I wanted to cover that. Farrokh Bulsara. Hated his English name. Wiki his name up and some of you might know why :-p Thanks for the great time folks ! Loved it !
I've stopped counting the days of what I am doing at work. I never quit being that. Its just that certain people don't need me to function as that in that place anymore. People who cared are telling me to forgive and forget. Forgive ? Forget ? No... Maybe time will allow me to do so.. for now.. its still too early. Telling me that I am at the same level as some other idiots just show me that you don't know what on God's earth is going on, and it hurts even more seeing those who knew choose to keep quiet. Well, the stage's all yours now. It's not easy to forget those who emotionally scarred you. I'm letting go.. but slowly.. At least the consolation I get is that I get to work my ass off for people who really deserve it this time. Great people. Those who I can trust.
Can't wait for 18 April 2009 ! Handing over P-plates to my sister :D She needs 4 Seasons of Knight Rider to pull thru :-p Godspeed cocksterous sis of mine !

I feel somewhat happy when I am blogging at this point of time. I thank God for all the blessings that He has given me. My work is good. My sister's life is good. My circle of friends is good. My colleagues are good. My bosses are good. Ahh.. never missed my past at all. Not even for a little bit.Rented out a car again for the past weekend. Just feel like driving around. Thought that I'd do the usual hangout routine with the usual people. Didn't know that someone very important would honour us with his presence. He makes me realise why he's up there. Awesomely nice guys do win. Big time. Had pool with the same people and at the same place. Dinner at ABC hawker centre. Touching to see that the people there still remember me. If it wasn't for the work last time, I'd stay on just for the good food there. Yeap, miss that portion.
Saturday was fun too. Brought the family out for a late lunch at Popeye's. Yeap. Best 42 bucks ever spent with family. More bypass material eaten hahaha. Need to start to regularly go for jogs or even increase the Sunday football more. Then went out with the usual people at night. Coffee session and stuffs. Made the cocksterous sis use her credit for the first time. Woot ! And of course, Henderson Wave is AWESOME. I will post the pictures at Facebook soon :-)
Sunday was good too. Went out and eat at Adam Rd. Yeap, though I can get lost a few times, I can get the hang of some of the more famous roads and learn how to get there. Asked Ben to drive afterwards. He should be the graduate from Singapore Safety Driving Centre. The emphasis on safety. I think Ben needs 4 seasons of ... KNIGHT RIDER ...
As for work.. well, its been 7 days since I've been doing that. I have people believing in me that I can do it. My only concern is that I hope that I won't be given a change to let them down. I'll give my utmost best for these people. They deserve it. Not them. Thank God so far so good. But I still have alot to learn. I'll take it one step at a time. These people deserve whatever goodness that I can offer. God help me.
