So I bought a bag

(A warning: A really girly long post about nothing funny nor wise nor experience worthy. Wheeeeee~~) And its not news. Last week had been pretty hectic. My project was going live, so we had to stay at office up till 11pm to meet the target. (that is nothing compared to some people who I think gone back at 4 am). My poor fiance had to pick me up cause I have a phobia against muggers and dark night. Hahaha. Well... all is not lost to him because in return he got a proposition from a pondan-pro and a KFC chicken and burger from me. (Leftover from the dinner provided from the company). Heee. I am indeed a cheapskate. So it seems the target was not met. (Bah for that but it's not our fault. Really :P) So I had to work on Saturday too. I usually am against working during hols days but this can't be avoided, and I can claim the extra day as holiday. There's nothing to be done anyway. Also don't really mind as I got free lunch of pizza and Starbucks breakfast of green tea latte

They did no wrong...

except just generally grosses me out. Spitters They are EVERYWHERE. If I am stuck at a traffic jam, there would always be some lout rolling down their windows, hacking and spitting out. Euw. There are even some that I noticed that is just gross and instead of aiming at the road, the spit come a rolling down the side of their car. EUW. And walking at the pavement is like a hazard. Walking around everywhere at KL or JB or senang kata the whole Malaysia la kan, I have to sidestep someone else's spits. I don't even want to think about the one I didn't manage to sidestep. Its gross la weh. Spit tempat yang senonoh sikit boleh tak? Inside a drain ke, in a sink ke. Do you really need to spit it out right there and then as if you have no control of your body? Not washing hands after coming out of the toilet Ok. So not all people went into a toilet cubicle to get rid of their bodily waste. But I can hear la weh, the toilet flush, and I noticed that you just nonchalantly goes out fro

Indeed Dark. But definitely not a Knight.

Report: 'Batman' accused of assaulting mom, sis LONDON - Batman star Christian Bale was to be questioned by police over allegations he assaulted his mother and sister the night before the European premiere of his film, "The Dark Knight," British media reported Tuesday. [ More ] Well... this do not bode well for the dark knight? I understand the allegations of abuse of spouse (though still I condemn it), but if your own mother and sister make a report of you assaulting them at a police station, you must have a VERY nasty temper indeed. If its true, and I really hope it is NOT true as I had love Christian Bale ever since Little Women . (And I still maintained that Jo would do well with Laurie), well let's just say... sigh.

Gamba Abid... and some insane ramblings first

Yesterday I kinda got a panic attack. I realized there are about 2 or 3 unread books left at home. I. Am. Aghast! A truly horrific terrifying turn which can traumatize a person. Exaggeration aside, after finishing with that delightful love story which always, always leave me feeling why wouldn't the heroine go marry that second best guy, I am left with only these 3 books. The Geographer's Library, Middlemarch and The Other Boleyn Girl. As I am waiting to see that Natalie Portman movie first before reading the book (you know, avoiding feeling the books is alwayyssss way better than the movies), that leave me only 2 options. Middlemarch looked thick. And I am kinda not feeling like reading a classic novel, not before I got some murder and mystery going. That left only one. The Geographer's Library. I found that book while rearranging my books and looked at it frowningly, not remembering ever seeing it at all. At first I thought my mom must had bought it and forgot it. That is

Why I think that I will not be watching The Hobbit

1. Hobbits are short I found that it is hard to find pics of the hobbits and the regular tall people. Prolly my search skills sucks 2. They are short with gross looking hairy feets 3. Guillermo del Toro disappoint me with Hellboy II. But I guess I have big expectations after Pan's Labyrinth. (Tho to be fair.. I am in awe with with Hellboy II, just the plot kinda blah) 5. I couldn't be bothered to read the 2nd and 3rd part of LOTR. Much less Hobbit. 6. I never really like Bilbo Baggins in the LOTR movies. Why I would watch anyway IF the rumours are true? *swoon* p/s the first: I think this is mainly a filler post p/s the second: Also looking through the scary world of the inter-web, I found this fan-made pics (for wallpaper I guess?) p/s the third: I found another much much much scarier pic which I think might be someone representation of a hobbit's dick ( I didn't enlarge the pics to peruse carefully). But I am much too ladylike to post it to you children out there.

Neil Gaiman... oh...

So... I had been reading Neil Gaiman's, 3 books in succession. Good Omens, American Gods and Anansi Boys. Good Omens was deliciously good. But I will stand in my opinion that my favorite book in his whole collection would be Neverwhere. I am still thinking if I like Stardust more... but I don't like the ending that much. I like the ending in the film though. Heee. On a side note, I still haven't read Sandman. But I really loathe to part with my money to buy expensive graphic novel. So unless I feel a real need to read it or somebody gonna donate me the graphic novels or if there is some warehouse sales for graphic novels that house this... maybe I will change my mind. Back to the books again. American Gods was dark, at times disturbing but very interesting. I kinda like to read the short stories about the 'gods'. However because it is dark, it took me quite a bit of a time to finish the novel. A tad bit depressing at times you see. But I like Shadow. Especially the

I feel like eating KFC but I am too broke

I got a lot of things to do... which I am lazy to start or finish. Basically its not done la. But hey. I am lazy? That is old news. Very mengantuk some more. I am getting sick with liaising with this particular person regarding this labeling thingies. I mean la kan. I thought that when you start with the requirement early on the project, you had already agreed on the labels that are in the system. What I DO.NOT.NEED is someone to keep on changing the bloody labels in the hundreds so near to the live date. I think whenever this person is particularly free, his thoughts would go like.. " Eh... I am so free ar. What gonna do eh? Ah yesss, let's go over those labels again and see what more things I want to change eh? " Argh. So demotivating la weh. How I can proceed with my other works if I keep on receiving emails daily on why does this label have not been change yet and what does this mean. And more labels to be change even though we had gone over it 2 or 3 times already!

Some people are incompetent

I read the story of this woman murder and was left feeling ... despair. It tells the story of a how a woman try her damnedest in all her physical and intelligence power to survive and ask for help, yet still doesn't come out alive. What saddened me more is how the case is also botched by a missed 911 call . The case of where dispatchers forgot to inform the police on the streets who is on the lookout for this girl, of the 911 tips they received and agents not following up. I don't know the stressful working environment of an emergency line call center (911, 999, whatever emergency line set up), so maybe people and me are judging them harshly. However, if an important call somehow get lost through, there is usual some kind of repercussion. And this call probably had indirectly caused a life lost. The agents should have at least follow up. They didn't. They should have logged it in the system, they didn't (in my previous job as a call center agent that is ground for dism

At last

I manage to change the look. But I don't think it is quite... stable yet. The template looked kinda messed up in my laptop. But fine from my desktop. IE and Firefox tested. Firefox had a little white space in it.. but at my laptop had a whole lot of white space. (If anyone found my blog looking like this pls inform). If there's a whole lot of complaint from your end (just inform me if it looked messed up) or if its still looking messed up from my laptop I may change. But that gonna take weeks. Heeee. Not that I tinkered much with it; after all this is a ready made template, but I.AM.LAZY. Also updated the link list a bit. Buang the blog links that seems to 'terkubur'. No point in keeping those around eh. Sunday already eh? Weekends are too short.

TV Gossip is my coffee

So early this morning, heard that Shannen Doherty is in talks to come in the remake/rehash of the new show Beverly Hills 90210. Whooop! Yeay all around. I miss Shannen Doherty. I no longer watched BH 90210 when she no longer around back then (the college and the working years sucks too). I even miss her in Charmed though I don't hate Rose McGowan (as she is so white-liciously babelicious.. and yeah, the fact she used to date Marilyn Manson drop her points a bit, but she still a babe) I was just thinking that I could afford giving the show a miss. But Brenda back again to terrorize the people at BH? Hell yeah, I will be watching! I do hope that the actors won't go into strike! Its going to sucks if we would have a 10 eps per season again. So I heard the awesome movie which is REC which I have YET to watch (SO NO SPOILERS PLZ) but the DVD is currently languishing at home waiting for me to pick it up are going to be reamericanize remake by Quentin Tarantino. Hurmmm... Maybe I wi

When life get tough... sell it out?

So a man frustrated with his life.. sold it for USD400,000 ++. [ Source ] I wonder who's the sucker that would want his life. But considering it also included the furnitures, car, motorcycle, jet ski... it doesn't seem that bad. If the house is big enough, furniture non-horrible, good car and motorcycle with not so many miles and properly maintained... that seems like a bargain. Though I would certainly hold off on the job and the introduction of the friends. Imagine the conversation "So this is X, he bought my life. So long... I am not going to stay here anymore and leave to some exotic place with the money you gave me in exchange for my shoddy life" ? So perhaps it is an OK bargain. Though I did raised my eyebrows when I read this excerpt " I guess I'm a little bit disappointed at the final price, I'd hoped it to be a little higher than that ," You want to leave your life of disappointments and despair and you are a disappointed why people are no
