Good Friday

I'm late! I'm late! A very important late!


Of all the time to be late, I was a few minutes late to class yesterday.Thou shall never be late for this class. NEVER. NEVER EVER. This is not because there's anything really important about this subject but the fact that the lecturer is really strict. The old school strict. If you get what I mean. Strict like the times your parents or grandparents went to school.


It is the culture of students of my university to not be punctual. In fact it's a culture in every university. Nothing unusual. It is something that all lecturers are accustomed to. Not this one though. He made it crystal clear on the first lesson the code of conduct that he expects: punctuality, total silence (no ringing of cellphones, no sms-ing, no talking, yada,yada,yada), no eating in class, and no other types of beverage except H2O. Well, so far so good. He got what he wanted. Not a soul in class dares to breathe louder than the air cond. Even the notorious of students abide by his rules. No mosquitoes dare to fly in either. Standing ovation for you sir.


However, I bend the rules a wee bit yesterday. I didn't do it on purpose. The thing is I got up an hour and a half before class yesterday. It was my tummy that caused me to be late. Of all times, it just had to *ahem minutes before I was set to leave. Upon reaching, I ran from the parking lot, up the stairs to class, carrying loads.


When I reached the class, I took a peek through the glass opening to see whether my guardian angel has my rear protected. To see whether he has entered the class. Duh! Of course he has. I was late by 8 minutes. Ok, maybe 10. Not like the other two classmates that turn up 40 minutes the other lesson. Anyway, I didn't just barge in nor made a grand entrance. I knocked on the door, opened it, gave him an apologetic nod the quickly find a seat.


Before I entered the class, I thought he was going to chop my head off. But amazingly he didn't say a word. Neither was he sarcastic as usual. What a relief. It is indeed a good Friday. Just wish that it is Good Friday everyday.

Voting Jitters

With the election nearing and myself knowing nuts about politics, I really do not know which party to cast my vote upon. Besides, I haven't been briefed on how to mark the ballot sheet. I do not want to vote for the wrong party and end up making the deserving party lose. As an educator said "You deserve the government you voted for" (* Note: Politics was not discussed in class.This statement fits in with this post).


Both parties, the government and the opposition (if this is how it works), have their own tales to tell. You would never know which to believe but only the better story wins. I never understood classroom politics in school, college and university, which is why I often end up being oppressed by classroom politicians.


However, I have been told that, the former minister that has been behind bars, is manipulating the opposition party to his own benefit. He had caused much distress to the country almost a decade ago. The public would definitely remember the financial crisis that loomed over the country and what a journey it had been to bring the country to its current state. Certainly, we wouldn't want history to repeat itself. Although there are some strong figures in the opposition, is it really worthwhile taking such a risk?


Whom does the public turn to when their daughter/wives/husbands run away from home?
Whom does the public turn to when asking for financial aid?
Whom does the public turn to when their children fail to obtain scholarships and placement in universities?


When it comes to asking for favours, the public will turn to MCA. When it comes to casting their votes, the public decides that the opposition is more deserving. Whatever the decision, don't be goats/penguins. You don't have to jump off a cliff just because your leader/idol/peers does so.


Exercise your right cautiously.
YOU DESERVE THE GOVERNMENT YOU VOTED FOR!

Leap Year

29 February


This day only appear once every four years. It is the day when all the quarters add up to make another day. Hence, there will be 366 days this year instead of the usual 365 1/4 days. Just want to commemorate this day for I do not know whether this blog would still be around four years down the road.

Horny Reptile

I went lingerie shopping today. When I reached home, I did what most people would do after purchasing something. I tried on what I purchased. Then I saw something under the photo frame that is on the wall. It wasn't a piece of the frame. Upon closer look, I saw two black dots. I shooed it away but it did not budge. Then I just ignored it. From the corner of my eye I saw it disappear into the back of the photo frame. A few seconds later, it peeped again. Then it disappeared again. Horny lizard.

Billboard Proposal

Advertisement executive stuns girlfriend with RM54,000 marriage proposal (RM 40000 for billboard & RM 14000 for ring). In case you were wondering how that amount is derived.






Post billboard proposal

Situation 1
* Guy: Honey,can I have the ring back? I need to return it to the sponsor.


Situation 2
* The payment for the proposal is to be borne by both parties. The guy will pay 20k while the girl would have to fork out the other 20k.


Situation 3
* Alternatively, the guy pays 40k. The girl would pay for her own wedding gown,reception, honeymoon and other expenses incurred in the wedding preparation.


Situation 4
* Since Mr Smarty pants spent all the money on the proposal, there will not be any wedding reception whatsoever.


Situation 5
* They would get a copy of the newspaper in which they were the headline, enlarge it, frame it and keep it as a memorabilia or hang it in their living room.


Situation 6
* All the above applies.

What Type of Pizza Am I?

YOU ARE CALIFORNIA PIZZA!


You are down to earth and very approachable. You care about others’ feelings and connect well with those around you. Additionally, life is rarely an unhappy experience for you, as enjoy making adventures and lessons out of all of life’s quirks. California pizza traditionally includes “seasonal ingredients, often organic and local, define California pizza. The crust -- thinner is better -- is merely the vehicle for showcasing the bounty of the season. From stinging nettles to orange bergamot, anything is fair game when it comes to toppings for a California pizza.”

T 200

The Sony Cybershot T 200. Although it is not the latest model in the market, I still love it. The camera is so slim, it's as though it is created for a girl. Dying to have one.





The Sony Cybershot T 200 comes in various colours.

Stamp Collectors

Didn't know that stamp collection is still an 'in' thing nowadays. I thought the trend has shifted to collectibles such as toys, handbags, etc. A couple of days prior to the Chinese New Year, we received some greeting cards from overseas. Nothing unusual since this is a yearly routine. Well, our Christmas cards did somehow arrive many days after Christmas (perhaps the postman thought it was meant for the following year). Anyway, back to the Chinese New Year cards. They did in fact arrive before the festival. However, something was missing on them.



On the first greeting card, the stamp was nowhere visible on the top left hand corner of the envelope. Rather strange given that the envelope was stamped/ computer stamped with the stamp shape around.It was so neatly done you might just think it fell off on the journey. The second card however, the avid stamp collector did a lousy job in saving the stamp for resale. The stamp was torn off the envelope, leaving tear marks which are really visible on pink envelope. Little did I know that cards can be sent without stamps.



Not that it is anything new given the fact that things that are couriered via mail arrived lesser in quantity (halved) as compared to when they were sent. There was once, my mum's friend sent diaries via courier. It was clearly stated 4 diaries. But we only received 2. The point is, do they have the right to open our mail or just take whatever they set eyes on? Even if u are an avid stamp collector, that does not mean you can rip stamps from people's mail.

Happy Chinese New Year. May the year of the rat bring good luck, prosperity and good health.

What Kind of Man Will I Fall For?

You would fall for a Gentleman



You like a man who knows how to treat a lady. Your guy will be suave, sophisticated, and dashingly handsome. He remembers the little things that matter: holding doors open, offering his jacket to you when you're cold, and giving you flowers when you're down. Your Mr. Perfect will respect you, love you, and make you feel beautiful, because you are! So even though you may find yourself attracted to bad guys sometimes, save your heart for your very own Mr. Darcy.
