Waiting..

Today is the last day of work! Wait, why am I not at work? Oh yeah, I quit yesterday!

Nah, I didn't quit. I just stopped yesterday because today is a really important day. Class registration day!

Yup, today is one of the most important days the university life. It's like moving into a house. You need to find the best location and you'll be living with the housemates for the whole sem. So you have to choose wisely and act quickly. Orange!!

Last semester may have been the best choice of group ever. I got the same group for all courses and I had the best classmates. They also stuck with the same group for every course.

I hope I get to fight side by side with the same comrades from last semester!

Returning Departure..

Duang's back!...

And now on to bigger things, Tajul and I have managed to clean the kitchen. It's not shiny, but it's good enough to sleep in.

There's a leak on the ceiling. Nothing Tajul and I can do bout that. We're still waiting for Abang Tuan Rumah to come out of his hiding place to come and fix it. He's probably hiding from the Ah Long.

But he'll show up when it's rent collecting day. Let's just hope he doesn't just come for the money.

Hey, who's that in the living room?... Oh, it's Duang. Oh yeah, he's back!

Anyway, I have work tomorow. I really don't want to go, but who else would pay you RM35 just for sitting around and making calls to snobs in Australia right?

My dad asked me to look at a 2nd hand car the other day. A Ford Lynx 1.8 1996. Go figure. So I went. It was quite a nice car. He asked me to decide whether it's good enough. That's a biggy.

If I say yes, I might risk wasting my dad's money if it turns out to suck. On the other hand, if it's good, I'd be getting my mom a new car. That's a tough decision to make. Maybe I should take a look at it again.

I should be sleeping already since I need to wake up at 5.30am. I've just noticed that there's Subway in Malaysia. I wonder since when has it made its way here? I used to watch the advertisements in the US, but I've never stepped my foot in the place.

There's a Subway outlet at the place I work, maybe since tomorrow is like my second last day working, I should eat there.

Why am I even high-lighting these words?

I'll be going back to Kuantan on Wednesday. That's just great, people are busy coming back here, I'll be going home. Is that Duang?

Tajul and I met Solah and Kimi at Pak Li's. I wonder who else is back?

The Happening..

Hello cyberspace! I have return! It has been so long since I last updated my blog. A lot seemed to have happened since then.

The results were out yesterday, boy was I relieved to have achieved higher than I ever had and maintained a 3 pointer. Good for me!

Congrats to Hafriz, he finally got DL. Really happy for you man! I was really surprised. You totally deserve it.

It seems that everyone in my house were all able to keep their heads above water. Niza redeemed himself and reclaimed his throne as a DL student. Tajul got over worrying about his Mandarin and scored above 3 as well.

Duang, well, he needed reminding to check his results, go figure, but he also mannaged to get above 3. I haven't heard from pie yet, but I'm pretty sure he did well.

Firhan's also happy bout his results. Looks like mostly everyone improved.

Now that the results have come out, every can stop worrying and get on with their lives until the semester starts.

As for me, I'm relieved. I was so worried that I wasn't able to maintain my CGPA.

So what have I been doing all this time? I've been making prank calls to Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and almost the whole of Malaysia. Not!

I have been making calls to all those places though, but not as pranks. I've been working at a call center for the International Data Corporation (IDC) Market Research company in KL. I've been conducting surveys over the phone. What an experience I tell you. I've even picked up an Australian accent.

I worked for almost a month, I have 2 more days to go next week. Firhan's also working there. We been rejected and trashed-talked by the respondents. It's not everyday you get yelled at by an Australian or a Singaporean. But there were also some very friendly mates too.

I've been calling Australia for one whole week, made over 1,000 phone calls, and I've never heard them say "G'dayy". If you apologize to them, they say "No worries!". I've gotten so used to their accent, I even got influenced and started speaking Australian English, so has Firhan. But we sound a bit funny.

That's basically all that I've done this break. Like the Australians say, Cheers!

Obsessive Passion..

Catching up with my childhood obsession.

After my previous post, I got this crazy idea of downloading my all-time favorite anime, Dragonball Z.

I'm still going through the first season. The second season is currently on the way.

It's all in English though. But it isn't that bad.

Everyone has a childhood obsession. Mine is this. There are also some obsessions that we have in the present that started during our childhood.

For me, I've been obsessed with cars since, well, forever. In fact, my childhood was based on cars, automotive design to be exact.

I've been drawing cars since, well, again, forever. But I've never got to embrace my obsession.

I guess obsession is not the best way to describe my fascination in cars. Passion is fits nicely.

But it's an obsessive passion. Is that right?
