When it all began...

My poor twitter followers and Facebook friends (who check updates quite constantly) would have suffered from my rant spams the past 2 days.

Let me just share a story.

Right when I finished SPM, my dad urged me to look for a part time job while waiting for results. He strongly suggested asking the principal at the music centre I've finished learning at, and see if they needed a part time teacher. I wasn't keen but asked anyway, and a few days later she told me there's a slot. A teacher was away for medical reasons for a week so she asked if I could take over her lessons for that week which I of course agreed to since it's only a week. I won't deny at that time, all I see was actually the money, wasn't so much about getting the experience. True enough, I was ecstatic when the money came. It was my very first salary from working outside and it was actually quite a big amount considering I worked for only a week of a few days and few hours each day.

A few weeks later my principal called me back and told me the teacher I was previously relieving, her condition has turned quite serious and she's not fit to teach anymore and asked if I would like to take over the teacher's place permanently as a full time teacher. Speaking of which, I wonder how she's doing now... Her name was Teacher Amy and I was told she had a lump in one of her arms so she couldn't play the piano anymore unless she undergoes a surgery. Isn't that so sad? We all know surgeries doesn't promise a 100% cure.

Anyway. Since I didn't have much to do anyway and knowing my dad, he would nag me the whole day if I were to stay at home not doing anything so I agreed.

And that was how I kickstarted my job in teaching music.

I managed to sell 3 paintings yesterday! Well, I was plain lucky but still!

Today was my day off and having the ability to sleep at 5 am the night before and wake up at 12 pm today cos you know you do not need to work, is just pure joy. My interpretation of a day off, is THAT ability.

I wanted to talk about something but because the internet is so bad it took forever to upload pictures, I forgot what I wanted to talk about already. So now I'm going to sleep.


A goodbye kiss from my wet, sparkly lips. HAHAHAHA.

Yay! Meet my new lamp! :)



Absolutely loving it NOT only because it's pink (a lot of people think my favourite colour is pink when actually that is not true), but because the design is really sleek and cute.

Best part? This was kind of like a reason-less gift to me from Wk's mom. She helped me to get it cos she knows people who deal with Panasonic stuffs and she refused to take my money. So yeah.

Yay! Now I can take pictures without having to bitch about how untrue the colour turns out.

Yay, some new toys to play with :)

Wk has gone back to Melbourne, in case some of you haven't noticed. But we'll be meeting again this December for his graduation :)

This blog isn't mine if it isn't infested with vain pictures like this XD

Ok bedtime. I have a 2 big pails of laundry to do tomorrow morning. Running out of underwear is not fun at all.

Have you ever...

... felt like you hate your life? You know you're not trying to sound like you're taking things for granted, you know you're very lucky if compared to many homeless and hungry kids out there, but you somehow want to have just a TINY bit more?

... felt like you want to smash the computer because you can't connect to the internet and Skype with someone dearest to you?

... felt like life is extremely unfair - you see other couples having the chance to be PHYSICALLY together and you feel extremely jealous? Not envious, JEALOUS. You start to think why you pour your heart and soul into the relationship but it doesn't promise you what you really want. You know distance doesn't matter, you still want to hope that your tiny little wish can be granted.

... felt like you don't know what to do with your life - you're unsure of the directions anymore.

... felt like you have such a big dream to achieve but it all topples down when your family doesn't really understand what you're trying to achieve. You try and try and try again to build those sand casltes but again and again, it gets washed away by the sea water. And then, you just feel like walking away and at the same time, feel wasted.


Goodbye DU - I'll miss you.

We've finally moved. To this ulu place called Putra Heights. It's a pretty newly developed place so there's pretty much nothing there - including a lunch kaki =( And my favourite chap fan place, and my favourite place to buy my favourite guava where they'll add shitload of my favourite asam powder =((((((((((((((((

I absolutely hate it when I need to leave after I begin to like a certain place =( 

We... I mean my dad's shop has been there for the past decade. We've moved after being in the front row for 10 years, to the back only because the rent became very intolerable. Stayed for another 2 years and the lack of parking and business became even more intolerable. That makes it 12 years at Uptown. My dad has been talking about moving and finally, it's for real this time. Honestly, I'll miss working there a lot. 

I worked there 4 years ago before entering uni for about half a year, and started working there again since the past 3 months. There's nothing you won't like in Damansara Uptown - EVERYTHING is there. The vibe, the people, the food. It's considered one of the prime locations for commercial and business, possibly everything you need is there. 

Or maybe I should even include "possibly everything you DON'T need is there eg. double parking" lol but hey, if people are not double parking, it's probably not so much of a prime location, no? Double parking is seriously not EVERYONE's fault - it's the developer's fault. They've never put into consideration on parking spaces before building all these sky high commercial towers and 3 stories business buildings. Hello? 2-3 Parking spaces for 3 stories of shops? Ok this totally deserves another post.

But seriously, I WILL miss double parking there. If there's one thing to describe DU, I'll say the double parking madness!

Anyway. I've always complained that my job was boring the crap out of me until I found Shin Dhee who's working very near me, found a few places I like to eat at and a few petshops I like to pass by. On days when I don't feel like walking out, I order McDelivery cos McD's is IN Uptown itself. 

Now in Putra Heights, there's NOTHING of everything I've liked in DU. Now I truly know the meaning of boredom.

Ooh my eyes got punched.



Okbai.

Quick one before I go to Midvalley to pick up one more MAC item I reserved hihi!

Yippee new stuffs to play with :)


Have you guys tried the new GCB (what a ridiculous name, can't they just put the full name? GCB sounds like some Hokkien cursing) by McDonalds? I actually think it's very nice! If not, better than the Prosperity Beef Burger and the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe!



Noooooooo!

That's my beloved toner T____T

Yesterday this dumb bug flew into the shop. I was scared shitless cos I thought it was some gigantic bumble bee! It was flying around the tops of the shop with that freaking loud buzzing noise until I heard some "ping pang ping pang" sound. I kinda guessed that stupid bug flew into the fan but never thought it was so stupid that it actually squeezed itself into the type which has a cover (sorry dunno what it's specifically called but you know what I mean). After a while it somehow squeezed itself out of the fan and dropped onto the floor. There after it was slowly dying, couldn't fly but was crawling slowly. I first thought it was some huge giant fly but apparently it's a carpenter bee. I was tweeting about this bug the whole of yesterday, everyone thinks I'm obsessed with a bug. It's not just A BUG it's THE BUG! Seriously if you guys have seen it you'd be as crazy as I was cos it was super huge!

We're moving soon!

Ok time to go get a new toner. Bye.
