Shares At STI

My week had been like the shares at STI.. One minute up next minute down.Without a doubt that it's been like a roller coaster ride, instead of just a few minutes, this ride took a couple of days...

Monday morning, well it rained. At the wrong time & at the wrong place.. Why time & place you say? It was 7 am, sending my sis to school. And at 7am is the time where all the public lights go off. So imagine all the lamp-post lights off. And then came this HEAVY pour, like super HEAVY. The moment I turned into my sister's school gate, the rain went like 'BRRRRAAAUUUSSSSHHH!!" I turned to my sis & she went like, 'WOW, best nye!!'.. I replied her with the OMG look...

After I dropped my sis off, I was telling myself, HOW ON EARTH AM I GOING TO DRIVE IN THIS WEATHER????? I'm serious about the severity of the downpour.. I couldn't even see what's in front of me. My nose merely kissing the windscreen & I used other cars highbeam as a guage of distance... I'm telling you, I couldn't see nuts... When I turned into Chai Chee Lane, I was asking myself whether I should park the car at one of the blocks at Chai Chee & wait for the rain to stop before going back.. But I told myself, No D, You can DO IT!!! All I did was continue my drive home at a rate of 20kmph & was so blessed that I got a lot at home at that hour.. Gathered all my things & dashed out from the car to the void deck & locked it. Thank god I got home safe.

Drove to school that day.. And nobody told me that parking was 3 bucks instead. So there I was digging for the extra dollar in my bag in the car...

In class, my lesson was boring. Just a boring topic out of HR.. Some technical procedures for recruitment.. If not for Jun's complaint regarding the school, I would have just dozed off on the desk..

After class, got home, showered & went out again. Pick my Sis from school. Ordered pizza as our dinner... Waited for both our pizzas & parents at the same time... The pizzas came earlier.. Ate for about 10 mins before dad called informing that he & mum have already landed... Finished up our last pizza on the tray & grabbed the keys & left for the airport..

At the airport, drive was smooth except for that Subaru WRX who was speeding & almost killed me.. That fella was going at 100 I think when entering into T2 arrival pick-up point lane. I'm telling you, I was signalling right cuz I was at the departure drop off lane, so I needed to go to the next lane.. Doing this slow cuz up front was the bend & it says 50, which means ppl should slow down. So I signalled & before I could go into that lane, this SUBARU WRX went WWWWOOOAASSSHH!!! Obviously I went WTF???!!!!!! Crazy fella!! Alright, I was just damned pissed at him.. So acty with his car & gf...

Then, here comes the best part, my dad was waiting for me in front of that car.. I didn't put on the hazard lights cuz I was just so angry & totally forgot. I squeezed in front of him. Stopped the car & dad loaded the trunks.. And then, there was this Mazda who was also trying to squeeze between me & that Subaru. That Subaru was sangkut already. And the best part, cuz I stopped to near to the car in front of me, dad had to reverse a little.. That made the Subaru Super Sangkut.. Padan muka.. Ah! Ambik kau.. Nak sangat cepat2 kan. Sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga. Ok, the English one is Haste Makes Waste.

Tuesday, went to catch Mr Bean's movie. Its hilarious. I just really enjoy the part about the pass & he drew a picture of him & the kid.. OMG!! I coudn't tahan my laughter then..

Later that night, I don't know what got into me but I saw Fahmy online. So I clicked on him.. Yeah, we chatted about stuff which I just kept it light. But when he called me, I started a different game plan.. First & foremost, I have to say that it wasn't intentional for me to do it. Its like a game you see. To keep myself from hurting because knowing his stature as someone who's quite popular, I told myself that its something like merger aquisition... Doing something that might work but has a high risk to it. So, instead of me being polite to him whenever he complimented or flatter me (which i guess has an ulterior motive), what I'll do is to question him back. Just those word games where you can twist the words around. Stuff like that. In a way, it sorta make him come back for more. He himself is quick witted & intelligent. So, 2 CAN play the game.

Wednesday was such a mundane day cuz I was home doing some school work. And at night I had class. Fahmy did ask me out on that day but I told him that I've gotta study & we could go on some other day instead. It might sound self centered but hey, I've got school & he doesn't :) We talked on the phone that night & it was filled with again, more mind games. But this time, I think I've let my guard a little down so I played the polite game instead. Lazy to think.. Its tiring alright, after class & all..

Thurday was school day. That Pakcik Takeshi so action you know.. He said that he can wake up for the morning lecture but then his batang hidung pun tak menjelma in class. And at 10 am or so, he told me that he snooze his alarm & he went back to sleep.. Woke up at 10. Best lah that fella... Halfway, I didn't reply his msg cuz I was in class. And you know what he said in that msg. NUDGE! Whah! He thinks that we're on MSN is it??? Crazy lah that fella.. He picked us ( Sharifa & Myself) after class for lunch.. Went to Bedok Corner to makan his Nasi Padang.. That fella tgh mengidam-idamkan paru... Since Fri, when I was watching a movie.. That guy, really ah, kelakar..

Over lunch, we talked about stuff but mostly relationship stuff. How both Sharifa & himself so badly wanna join Herbie & my club. They said that they missed it so much. And my conclusion was that, because Sharifa's bf character is somewhat similar to Pakcik's gf character, I said that they ought to end up together. Just saying this without any meaning & no intentions or hard feelings taken. Kesian lah diorg. I tgk, asyik2 kena report strength. Haiz!!

Later after lunch, we went to East Coast Mac Cafe.. There even better... Laugh here, laugh there. Once in a while, having fun with your classmates after school is fun. Something like destressing.

Once I got home, I showered & slacked to the max until I got a phone call to go for a movie on Fri. Which was what I did on Friday. Caught 2 movies. Chermin staring Deana Yusof & Stomp the Yard staring Ne-yo & featuring Chris Brown... Indeed both were nice movies..

Aight there ppl, I think you all can see why my week has been crazy.. So, that's all folks!

REquirements

Can anyone please tell me of a way of making your hair grow faster???? PLEASE!! No, no extensions or wigs. Just wanna make my hair grow faster.. That's all. Keep telling it to GROW! GROW! GROW! If you can see, my short hair days are just over... Nope, no more short hair D... Just long ones for me right now... I think that after the braces are all gone, I ought to become more feminine, starting with my hair... Speaking of hair, I'm suppose to go threading soon.. My brows are shooting at all directions.. Hehehe!!!

My parents are not in for the weekend, which means that I have the car... And unfortunately, I've got no one to go out with.. Everybody's busy with stuff... So I guess I'll just sit at home, keeping pace with my revision, watch DVDs & having the humble net to myself....

My lecturer Mr P. Woo is constantly BUGGING & NAGGING at us for every lecture.. Come on lah, at least for the first 1/2hr... Lawrence will not be recording that part of the lesson for sure... And speaking of that PAKCIK Takashi, ghez, he got the top score for our test. Which means he owes me makan.. A ride is a norm. He'll drop me off if its along the way after we do our revision... But he definately owes me makan... That pakcik is nice lah.. Too bad he's attached. And what's worst is that he only scores 3 out of 4 of my basic requirement in a guy.. He's short.. Too bad lah eh...

What's my requirement you ask? Well, Herbie said that its not that hard to find but I beg to differ...

They are;

1) Older than me
2) Tall (1.8 & above)
3) Doesn't ride a bike
4) Doesn't smoke


4 simple steps which I think is SUPER impossible...

I've gotta chao for now... Have lunch.. To all, happy lunching!

Debunking myth about Managrial work by H.Mintzberg

Things had been a little out of control lately... Why is that so you ask?

Well one thing for sure is that I've been extremely busy with school. Tests & exams coming around the corner... Having my lecturer constantly telling us that we've got to start preparing already. And seeing Herbie starting his revision is driving me nuts. I feel that whenever I look at Sharifa, Herbie, Jun & Lawrence, I definately feel the pressure. You can sort of say that its something like peer pressure but this is on the other end of the spectrum where its not about doing any wrong doings. Its just that when you see everyone starts to mug, you tend to mug too.. Which is good... But let me tell say something, its crazy..

What's ironic is that these are the people who appear most on my text msges, dialled numbers & received calls in my phone... And suprisingly, its the same of most of us... Haiz! That's the thing when it comes to being local student in a class where at least 70% of the class are non-locals. We locals tend to stick to each other. Somewhere somehow....

Being with them is great. It just amazing how things turned out after we all were hit by some hardship.. We definately became closer.. All of us. Sharifa is like my only gf in school. We usually go shopping after our morning class. Hehehehe!! And for the rest of the guys,they are very easy going. I have guys telling me not to say certain stuff to their gf. Having some heartfelt conversations which are definately an eye opener. Its amazing how other people's mind works...

Enough about my school life. Right now, one thing for sure is that Fad hates me.. Yes, due to some slenge mistake that I've done. Sis told me to IGNORE. But I feel bad about it.. Seriously I do. And for some reason, I'm angry. Cuz he said that it would not affect the crew. But look at it now. Just sad & angry.. Sis has been telling me to give him time & ignore the matter for the time being. But hey, I really missed them.. Their crazyness. Honestly, it was them who kept me sane during the revision period last semester. AAAAARRGGGHHH!!!

Gonna stop here... Mintzberg & Handy are calling me........

REflecting

New Found Friends - ACCA manuals
My Brand-new Crocs.. All thanks to Ma' Crew




Reflecting... They say, words spoken at the heat of anger are not words from the heart... Somehow, what I said to Fahmy, well... I kinda regret it. I believe in karma; what goes around comes around. I HATE burning bridges. And I told myself that I won't blow my top off. BUT... Yes, that's the BIGGEST contradicting but ever... I mean, one minute he's hot, the other his cold.. So I just got so mad that the sarcasm & mean button went off.. Like 100% off.. I hate playing games...


Seriously, I didn't want any 'fahmy-ism" thing hold me back. I've got my school work to think abt... And my classmates are just fantastic... I can't imagine that one fine day, we'll all be CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS... Yeah, this wasn't the my ideal course but it somehow is linked to what I've always wanted to do. Be my own boss... Yes, I wanna earn big. Not just a financial controller but big in a way that I've done it on my own way kinda big. I want my mini-cooper s convertable big.. Yes, I love that car. But have anyone seen the price tag on it? $100,000++ for the car.. Yes, I so very have to earn big bucks to get it...

Ma' Crew, can say that we've not met up for quite some while. I guess everyone's busy with stuff. For those in school, its the assignment, test, reports & soon to be exams period. But for those working, its the financial closing period. So annual reports would have to come in... As for me, I guess everyone's so into the whole exams mode already. In 2 months time, the revision month kicks in & everyone, I mean, EVERYONE will be in super stressed exams mode... I will totally be in my tees, berms crocs & backpack mode.. With not a tinge of make-up on & not giving a damn of how my hair is. I will sit & do my work for at least 4 hrs with 15 mins break every 2 hrs.. Honestly, time passes by so fast while ur doing ur revision. One minute its 1pm, the next, its 5pm.

The best thing that will ever be is to hang out with the crew on weekends. That was what happened last November.. Yes it was my revision month but I had a great fun with my crew on weekends.. One week was jalan raya, the other was chilling at Esplanade. Another was a gig... Well... Had super fun with my crew...

But right now, its just my classmates for now. Not much time spent with others. Phone's going on & off. One min talking to Sharifa & the next min, Lawrence will call me on my hp.. That or Herbie's smsing me regarding something... Speaking of Herbie, I had a great pleasure talking to him on Mon night.. We spoke till like 3 am Tues mrng. Well, he's a great big fella who's always tekan-ing me or Sharifa abt something. He's like the 2nd Lawrence. Just mischievious in disturbing both of us. Oh.. Just loving school right now...

So, as you all can see, nothing is in my agenda except for school & ma' crew.. If you've noticed, relationships aren't in it. People have hinted to me that I should 'test market' with someone specific but I sold myself short. Nah. I feel that we're better off as friends even though he's alright. Plus, he's exs are all pretty.. I just don't fall in that category... For those who are saying, Come on D, every girl is pretty in their own way, let me say that a) Guys only like girls if they are both wonderful on the inside & the outside And b) They like me better as a friend. I feel that I'm just better being a girl's guy friend. Someone who can lend a shoulder when he breaks up with his gf. Give him advise on stuff. Laugh your heads off about crappy things.Seriously, if I wanted a guy, I would have started looking long time ago but I didn't. Like I've said before, got married to my books long time ago. But if Prince Charming comes along, I would just want him to compliment me.. Yes, that's it. COMPLIMENT ME. He'll fill up what I don't have & I'll fill up what he doesn't have.

I say stop yacking abt guys... Things happen when you least expect it...

Gotta get back to my work.. Tannenbaum & Shimcht is bugging me.. See ya ard..


PS: Caught The OC season 4 on YOUTUBE. It made me realised how much I'm missing Ma' Crew. So when are we going out to catch up on stuff????????????
