im no longer a nel virgin...i took the ride last friday wif isz to mustafa ctr. ehekhekhe. we were so jakon that we practically shoot everythin in farrer park, boonkeng, and dhoby ghaut stations. and there's a travellator in dhoby ghaut...! *it's like the normal escalator except it's flat* kewl sey...i thot only airports have this.

ju-on wasnt scary...watched it last nite wif kak rosi. some scenes were similar to those in the ring. well, the one in the blanket scene was the scariest but it still doesnt have that *scream* factor.

and specially for toots, glad dat ure back. ;)

im in merdeka mood today lah.

emak helped me spent the remaining vouchers i won @ the generasi siber contest on a gameboy advance + a couple of games. it's better than the gameboy color i have...wif better games, and colours. i was contemplating between the xbox and the gameboy for several days. and i chose portability.

didnt manage to see mars yesterday but i enjoyed the quick dinner wif ct, yanni and isz. and someone apparently saw mars in his fridge. 8P

and so i didnt get de so-called most anticipated job of my life. i was disappointed. really disappointed...but if some people took 1year to get a job...i still have 7more mths to go. mebbe. mebbe not. im sending out resumes for admin jobs as well....anything. as long as i get to upload some money into my piggybank.

i was reading my book while listening to the get up kids on my mp3 player by the beach when i felt something rubbing against my back. was startled for a min but it was only juz a cat. 8B the cat snuggled by my side. it stretched and yawned on the grass. it was windy and the sun was setting. the sun hid behind the clouds and the rays that peeped thru a crack in the clouds warms my face. i could feel a simple optimistic kind of joy, the kind of happiness i haven't felt since a long time ago.

have u completed a web/flash/animation/any *delete where appropriate* project and suddenly u lost it?

cos i think i've ter'deleted a flash animation i did few days back. *wails*
i found it! hidden underneath some rubbish. *beams*

i dunno why but ppl have been making me irritated this week. my house is on the lift level and being on the corridor, all kinds of people pass thru it everyday. when i do my work on the comp, i will usually leave the windows open. i was doing my work happily, when i heard someone stopping at my window. then i heard something being dragged across the corridor. the person stopped dragging when he/she reached the doorstep of my house. immediately i rushed to my door and opened it. a piece of paper was apparently dragged to my doorstep. i unlocked the gates and looked out. and the culprit was still walking and she turned back. i glared at her and shouted something in hokkien at her....*well, not exactly a bad word but something like 'oi, wat do you want?' got this from some hk movie...hehee*

darah up sey!!isk..pagi2 plak tuh. and btw, here's one of the grad pix i managed to salvage on my side...

conversation about tamil movies led to this...

pakcik: ohh..jadi awak nih dkk lah eh?

me: errrm? aper tuh?

pakcik: darah keturunan keling *laffs like crazy*

at this time, a donkey was pictured in my mind. *in one of spongebob's episode, squidward was pictured as a donkey...he was laffing exactly like the pakcik*

me: anytink wrong wif dat?!

pakcik: no...*continues laffing* and stops eventually.

some ppl are juz too dumb. i was in my better mood today so he was lucky not to be stabbed wif my deadly pencil right in the middle of his forehead.

ok. short snippets.

sunday mornings are meant for sleep but i had a 6hrs meeting early in de morning. groggy but breakfast of fried chicken and croissants *courtesy of miss ros* perked me up. and then off to do some shopping @ mustafa ctr wif kak rosi and her 2 bodyguards. heh. and then went snapping for a while ard the area. lent syafiq my fujifilm digicam and he sure can take pictures pretty well for a 7yr old boy. ;)

who says freelance is easy money?

forgot sumtink for dg's website.
need to make changes to some website.

sometimes i feel im being taken disadvantaged of.
no...it's all the time. *pulls hair*

no more missus nice.

weather's pretty dull today.

im tired but work beckons. i'll have my first tuition assignment tonite. for some p6 student. the kid needs help for her maths. and i also need the money cos my savings has been alarmingly low after i've updated my bankbook this morning. no more whipping out the atm card when buying things...and no more lavish spending. yah...my fault. 8P

some frens' pcs were infected by a wormy virus. and i hope mine doesnt. cos i remembered the last time my pc was hit by a so-called chernobyl virus, the harddisk had to be replaced. heartpain and pocketpain too. *ouch*

btw, i found lil mermaid!! weehoooo. for dat someone, hope you'll enjoy it soon. ;) i searched hi and lo, left and right...but it's out of stock. there's a dvd version but dat someone dun have a dvd player...so that option is out. but hey, it's worth the search...i get to see it first and lil mermaid rawks my sox! i was laffing my ass off watching it.

and hey, do you know mcD has dis new *ok..i dunno whether it's new cos its been a lonnng time since i eat mcD stuffs* fishy mcDippers meal..6 piece of fillet in a cute packaging *like those kind of chinese takeaway meal i saw on teevee*. you can eat them dipped in either tartar sauce or some thai chilli sauce *taste de same as dat mcCrispy chilli sauce 8P*. but i like...cos i lurve mcD's fillet-o-fish. *disclaimer: ermm..im not related to any mcD branch, fish or chicken sold there*

today technology fails on me. darn! apparently the card malfunctions and cant be read on pau's sister's cam too. 8( so to mima and adi...im sorry ok...but your photos wif ur mummy and daddy dearest cant be retrieved. tried my best. i can only view the photos on my cam's lcd though. errm.

another busy day for me today. had a 4hr meeting with a client this morning. still groggy...cos im not used to waking up dat early. but mak cooks asampedas ikan pari so that makes my day. im peeved at how some ppl think that im not making that effort to find a job but hey, being a spectator and watching the game is easy. i have to go through interviews over and over again even though i know it's juz gonna be another waste of my time. when will this end? yah, norzamaria...try again, ok. and again. and again. *bLearGh!* /ignore myself.

"everyday i fight a war against the mirror...i cant take the person starin back at me...im a hazard to myself"

i didnt meet dat mr ALI. phew. lucky me. wasnt hoping to see him anyway. 8P everything went well today...it's well under my control. 8) i also met fauzana today! i was nervous and excited at the same time.

well, that's me when i meet new people. i remembered once when i met kak hanita 5yrs back *whom i was chatting wif for several months* and i was soooo nervous i went into the wrong class after meeting her...sheesh. i was DAT nervous. but i have now 'improved' and dun feel that awkward when i meet these people...ekhekehe. me and pau recognised each other from far...and chatted. she's a really sweet person. *untung kau, farhat..ehekhekhe~* btw thx, pau, for the great help!

congrats to the graduates of dmd 03. the gradshow was also a makciks and pakciks meetup. ehekhekhehk. everyone was busy introducing their parents to each other...and chitchatting...eating...bla, bla, bla. it seems like only yesterday that i knew you guys...time literally flew past. pretty fast too. before i realised it, everyone has a diploma in hand. Alhamdulillah!

was so exhausted today but had an enjoyable time lepak'ing in town after the show wif isz, yanni, siti, akbar, adi + az. im not a walkaholic *as coined by dear kak rosi* so even though it's only 3hrs of walking ard orchard rd *like a walking angpow...i wore red today*, i was very, very tired. my feet hurt nak mampos! ehehehe. but yah, i enjoyed staring at some madonna's porn music clip *grins...correction: caught glimpse of it wif siti*...eating the bland wanton mee *i shant eat dat @ cahaya again*...making fun of yanni *sorry...but it was damn fun!!* it would be fun'ner if ratna, toots and lydia can join us though.

thot we might drop by mustafa ctr and shop for some snacks there. and had chapati for dinner. but it was getting rather late and instead had dinner of pasta and some fish @ swenson's. i still would have preferred roti naan anytime though. ehehee. there will be next time. chapati, sambar, dhal, thosai. *drools* and guys, i wore skirt today...dun laff, ok. cos kak rosi was giggling all de way to swenson juz now.

there is so much more to life but sometimes i seem to thrive on the dark parts. why is it that i must visit these dim regions? im in a grim pit, with no foreseeable way out.

but words cant bring me down. how ironic.

i know that this project has strained everyone involved. im sorry if i sounded demanding juz now and before. i guess it's juz me. i forgot that you too have lotsa work.

marilah sumer berkabong beramai-ramai. sad news for all! thx, pau for the lead. now i better get my list done by tonite! eh..but can they fit all the singaporeans in all the lokaps on the island?

my blardy website has been down since morning. but i still wanna tell the world something. yesterday i met up wif kak rosi and her 2 bodyguards juz for a few minutes cos i also have a meeting with haz+syiq regarding meliora. mey-lee-o-rah. and then accompanied my family to shop for a vcd player to replace our spoilt one.

btw, welcome to the world, siti petom!
