A less furry panda-zombie lookalike


Finally, I can sit down and take a break. As I'm sitting here typing, I'm also munching the pack of tomato-flavoured Mister Potato chips I opened 5 days ago. Usually, it only takes like 15 minutes for me to finish the bag of chips in front of the idiot box. But I've been keeping this freaking one for 5 days and I'm like, "OMG, I really have been that busy and to the point I stress myself out." Why do I say that? Because my tummy is like f**king flat like the iron board within 5 days because I'm too stressed to even feel the hunger. Don't worry, I'm feeling better now which means I can now stuff food into myself like normal again. I had some biscuits and maggi too before popping those chips into my mouth.

So, I still can't believe that it's another Friday night with Monday seems like yesterday to me. Weekend is here again and I can foresee me going through the shitty Sat and Sun again. It has been a tortured week for me. Not busy, hectic or crazy but tortured. I hardly get enough sleep. Like only 4-6 hours per day and split into 2 sessions. Most of the time, I have been up, digging for scholar journals to support my reseach model and hypotheses. My eyes are ready to pop out anytime soon. I might look like a panda-zombie with eyebags that are huge enough to fit the clothes from my entire wardrobe but really, I don't care at this moment. I'm not even bothered to look myself into the mirror. All that I can think of is how to finish this f**king thing asap.

It's really frustrated because what I've done has been rejected for 3 f**king times. To make things worse, I've almost finished writing my thesis for the introduction and literature review part. It took me like 3 weeks to write only that. After that I was told to decide on one dependant variable to make things easy. That means, most of the things have to be altered and have to start to do another literature review again to justify my claim. Up till now, I think 80% of my initial things have been changed. And literature review is quite a vomit-blood task to do. Not like you can do it in 1 or 2 days. No such thing.

I've been bombarded with so many questions since Monday and most of the time, I was dumbfounded. I knew everything was there but I couldn't form words to justify my case. Like everything has been frozen. My brain, my mouth, my throat. I couldn't think at all. The same thing repeated on Tuesday. But I'm glad in a way. At least now, I do understand certain things I used to have no idea at all. They pointed out my mistakes which allowed a clearer picture. Everything starts to make sense to me right now. They should have done this earlier instead of asking me to swim in the sea by myself. At least, tell me I should swim towards north, south, west or east and then point me the direction to it.

Research is very subjective. Unlike doing programming, you get a book, understand the flow and start coding. No, you can't learn a research from a book. To me, it is a trial-and-error process. Do something, experience it, realise where is the mistake and make it correct. How do you expect me to do something I have no knowledge about and at the same time I can't obtain the knowledge through books? This is the kind of frustration I'm going through. I do no not know where to seek help as other people have their own things to busy and I can't bug them for help because they don't think it's their responsible to help me that much.

But today I'm touched. As I was sitting at the stairs, waiting alone with my almost empty stomach, a good person came over and asked how I was doing. I briefly told him about my situation and he immediately offered his help without any condition. I was really surprised but I told him I've found my solution. If only I have met him 3 days ago, I wouldn't have been that miserable. Still, he offered to help and told me I might need the info else I can just discard it. I told him I'd check how the other side is going on and let him know next week. It prompted to me think. Why is the one sitting on top, bugging you everyday to get it done, knowing so many contacts, directly responsible, do not even offer you that kind of help? And this fella here who has no responsible at all towards me is willing to offer me his hand? I do not know him personally and he hasn't taught me in any subject before. And you know what? I'm not even his kind and he's willing to help me out. I'm really touched but at the same time, deep down inside me, I've lost my respect to certain ones.

I used to hear things fairly about him from my ex-roomie. You know how certain macha can be very cocky especially they are an expert. Surpringly, he's not. I believe, he is a good lecturer, a lecturer that is committed, willing to help any student out there without thinking about the trouble he has to go through. To him, that might not even trouble but merely a helping hand. Some people might view picking up the telephone, making a simple phone call, and then pass some papers around is like a f**king troublesome and simply bring no benefits to them. Menyusahkan, merugikan dan langsung tidak beruntung.

Anyway, research is really a long process and if i wanted all these fuss and mess, I could have stood by my full-research instead of shifting to coursework. It's merely a project with 6 credit hours and now my so-called project has been modified similar to a full-research. But i guess, I just can't rush because another classmate who should have finished earlier also couldn't make it on time. Validation of measures and data analysis also take like perhaps 1 month to do. And unlike your fyp, you just can't f**king cook things up to finish writing a thesis in a week. You need bloody solid proof and citation for each statement you write. No ahtu, ahbeng, ahkao, ahmad, ramli, raju, muthu. Those are invalid.

Well, it's extension I guess. Gosh, then I have to answer my dad. *blows bubble with saliva*
Hmmm...toodles for now~

Conman #1
--------------

FROM THE DESK OF MR.MALAKI AHMED.AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT. BANK OF AFRICA. (BOA)OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO

Dear Friend,

(TOP SECRET AND URGENT)

I am Mr. Malaki Ahmed, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of International Bank of Africa Ouagadougou Burkina-faso in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 31st October 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was U.S $7.2M (seven million two hundred United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through the Bukinabe chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Ouaga. Burkina-faso.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.

Trusting to hear from you immediately.


1. Full Name2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number3. Your Contact Address.

Yours Faithfully,
MR.Malaki Ahmed.

Dear Sir
I wish to introduce you to a business deal which would be beneficial to both of us and which has to be kept confidential for the purpose thereof. I am contacting you because i know that you are capable of handling the deal and I want to invest my money in your Country.

My name is Mr. Byran Coleman a Lawyer based in England. I wish to seek your consent to present you as next of kin to my late client (Kurt Kahle, 51yrs old), who died in the year 2000 in a plane crash involving Air France Concorde flight 4590 Paris' at Charles de Gaulle airport on 25 July 2000 leaving behind the sum of GBP 25,520,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand Pounds) in a Bank in UK and no next of kin to inherit the money.

With your assistance and my professional advice we can get access to the money because I am his Attorney and all the members of the Family died in the Plane Crash. You can as well confirm this news at the BBC News website: (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm) on Monday, 31 July, 2000, 13:22 GMT 14:22 UK victims of the AF4590 crash include all 109 people on board and five who died on the ground when the plane crashed into the Hotelissimo.

We shall both share the funds. 60% for me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or your Government may require as Tax. I look forward to your positive response at your earliest convenience now that the Bank has written me twice to present his Next of Kin and if possible send along your telephone number, your correct address and name so I will call to give you further clarification.

Regards
Barr Byran Coleman

Still Not My Day


It is still not my day. Today, I went to uni and ended up with a foul mood. Everything is still not entirely correct. What have I done to deserve this? Perhaps everything I've done up to right now made me earn it? Like freaking sueh, man. I hate all these.

I hate..... I haaaaate....

Err, what or who should I hate exactly?
Oh yea, I hate research!
I hate myself for duping my own self into doing all these @#$%!^XXXXXXX!

I AM SUCH A PIG!

I'm frustrated towards anything and everything but i don't know what exactly. There are only 2 ways for me to ease myself out: (1) junk like there's no tomorrow and (2) shop till i drop. I chose the latter because I didn't want to go home to junk and then continue sulking. Stopped by buah mangga and saw this pair of jeans and immediately wanted to buy it just to make myself happy. Unfortunately, all left were the bigger sizes and again, I was at lost. And I tell you, luckily I left after I was told the size I wanted was sold out and didn't purchase anything from buah mangga because after that only I realised I LEFT my freaking wallet IN THE CAR!

Babi! Babi! Babi!

If I insisted on buying something, I guess I will never get to step inside that particular buah mangga shop as you know those salesgirls act as if they own the shop. Yes, every buah mangga shop's salesgirl (particularly the one in MV & KLCC but surprisingly KL Plaza is not bad) do have a serious attitude problem. They have to go back to primary school and learn their moral values, as in "bersopan-santun" and "hormat-menghormati". But again, if they are clever, they wouldn't have ended up as a salesgirl, heh! And no, i'm not talking about those young part-timers who might be students.

Alright, alright. I think I have to stop trashing random people I don't even know. Previously sayur sawi and now these salesgirls who have no courtesy. But sometimes they can be so annoying until you feel like swinging your palm across their face.

Now, back to the story. Feeling unsatisfied, I drove myself to another buah mangga outlet while stuffing my mouth with BK mozza sticks. And to tell you the truth, I was never a fan of buah mangga. Bought the jeans and a cup of hot green tea frap. And cola-flavoured gummy bears too! Am addicted to 'em. cola->coke->cocaine. You get the idea. Felt a little bit better after that BUT still bo kam buannnnnn....

Now that I'm home, it is going to spell B-A-C-K-T-O-W-O-R-K!

p/s: Let's say if I need to slap my own face for 100 times in order for things to turn out fine immediately, listen to me, at this stage, I WOULD!

I'm Not Dead is so SYOK!


I've just spent 90 minutes watching a concert here and feeling ecstatic about it. Fyi, all the F*, B* and S* words are not censored. Somemore can diss Mr.P publicly yet indirectly with thousands of people cheering for you and backing you up.

(yea, rite.. as if we can do it here. perhaps Mawi should do it. I dunno why Mawi. Don't ask me why. Perhaps to show he has balls? Like serious balls to tell the truth about "political facts" and not some lousy shit ditching his own fiancee on the national newspaper and tv. Omg, like why am I attacking Mawi? Well, hell shit because he is Mawi, the annoying Mawi. Meluat. Ptui! If you're a Mawi fan, stop being retarded because obviously I'm going to ask you leave my blog right now. So LEAVE! Mawi the sayur sawi.)

Oh, I'm sorry. Just triggered. Back to the concert, it's damn freaking awesome as if I was there. Trying my very best not to wake anyone up at this hour with me singing and shaking my head along. Pink ROCKS my pair of smelly socks!!! Surprisingly, I could view it rather smoothly but if your connection is crappy, save your breath then.

The "Angan-angan" Talk


My family has been discussing to go to HK for a holiday and as usual, those were the "angan-angan" talk, as in no serious consideration taken into account. Talk for the joy, for the fun and for the "stim". But guess what? Yesterday I received a call asking me, "Theng, do you wanna follow us go to HK in December? We are gonna buy the tickets tomorrow at the Matta Fair."



Oh yeah, of course I do. The entire family is going this time and how could I be left out, right? Except for my 2nd bro and her wife which is pregnant currently, they are not going. (oh, kesian, kesian. I'll try to get a nice nice soft toy for my future nephew/niece ok? ;D) Hur, hur, hur....

Finally, after thousands who had been there ever since the opening of the Disneyland, yes, I am going to Hong Konggggggg! Duhhhhh... I'm not that anticipated actually. I don't know why. Maybe the thought of so many people will be there is going to choke me to death before I can catch some serious breath. And I'm sure the amount of people in HK during December is going to be humongous and how the hell am I going to enjoy the scenery? Talk about queuing for some yummilicious food or maybe rides in Disneyland, omg, I'm going to faint. Btw, did I mention that my 3-year-old niece is tagging along? Yes! This one below:



OoooOoooOO... I'm so scared of her already. Hahaha... Well, the initial plan was a 4d3n holiday to HK by purchasing return air tickets from MAS and do some online hotel bookings because we wanted a more relaxing trip. Not those rushing here and there with morning wake up call agency tour. If we have the time, we might just go over to Macao to have a look else we will just scrap the idea off.

Uh-uh and I got a bad news just now. Seems like all the tickets are already sold out (wtf? now only September) and we have to settle for the agency tour. Boo-hoo... And it's doubled the price of us going by ourselves. Yikes! But I heard, it's going to be a 7-day trip to HK, Macao, Shenzhen & Guangzhou. I know it's going to be a headache to go so many places within like what? 5 days? minus the time we are going to spend on the airplane. Wahrao... Sien arr. On the bright note, it means that I don't have to work in December. *malu, malu*

But damn it, I'm very very VERY stresssed out right now because my lecturer seems to put me on hold due to the undergrad exam starting tomorrow. And if she keeps doing it, I won't be able to finish my stupiak research on time and might have to ask for extension. Oh, that sucks! *narrows eyes* You see, sometimes it's not like I don't want to do. But if people do not give you the green light, you just can't go ahead!!! I'm just so angry and sad right now because the thing has been delayed for like 3 freaking weeks when she told me she would get back to me in a week or two. :'( :'( :'( I don't blame her but God, please, please, please make her reply and better still with no changes else .... yea, kind of a f*cked up situation for me.

(I might) die of TimTam


Man, I really have to stop. Stop biting those yummy TimTams like there's no tomorrow. No, no, not those made in Indonesia. I can't even put those into my mouth. Am talking about those imported from Australia one. I've bought 3 packets from Bangsar Village last week with 2 new flavours. Love the Sticky Toffee Vanilla but don't really fancy the Raspberry Filling. And they got Chocolate Mud Pie there too, finally! :) Tried very hard not to take my usual Double Coated Milk Chocolate but substituted it with a packet of "ugly" Keeblers. Ampun... so tak sedap! Don't bother to buy any chocolate from Keeblers cos the Graham Crackers covered with chocolate tasted like kek Hero (yea, the 30cents cake I used to buy when I was in primary school) and the dunno what wafer covered in chocolate tasted worse than Apollo. Kena con kao-kao. Pfuhhh~

Another bad news is I've finished the TimTams within less than a week. Blimey! I really have to stop because I've been preaching GebuDebu about eating the healthy way yet I'm trashing down some junk! Yea, I've noticed his food intakes and eating habits are all screwed up so I have to force him chewing down greens, grains and fruits instead of red meat, goreng this and that, plus his all-time favourite chocolate. Previously, he couldn't even get through a day without chocolate (just like me, heh!) and there was a time, I found a half-eaten moist chocolate cake in his bag despite him promised to cut down on chocolate!!! Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a big rat... So far, he has been doing great, staying away from chocolate for 2 weeks already, well, minus the tiny bites which I pretended not to see.

You see, because I do not want to be the first girl or first person to die due to overdose on chocolate (particularly the evil TimTam), and most importantly I want to stay away from diabetes as this "uninvited/unwelcomed visitor" runs in the family. Thus, for my own good sake, I am TRYING to quit chocolate for a mere ONE month. *chuckles* :p 30 days are extremely a long period for me, okay? I'm not even sure I can survive the next 24 hours without grabbing a TimeOut from 7-E to curb my craving or not. Anyone who sees me sneaking a bite, PLEASE feel free to snatch it away from me but I do not guarantee I won't react in a hostile manner. Heeee.... Thank you very much in advance.

Termite oh termite, you should join me but quitting on coffee instead :p

The Impulse Buyer: Me


My "craving" for shoes didn't start at Vincci. In fact, it was few days before when I was at Jusco. For those who don't know, I've been buying only heels from Nose (my favourite!!!) and Vincci. Past experience of buying cheaper heels proved that it is always better to pay a little bit more to get that comfort. Most of the time, the base of the not-so-branded and cheaper heels are very hard like a plank. It would cause my feet to be in pain after walking for a distance. As pretty as they might look, I try to stay away from those heels.

So I was at Jusco like I said and my eyes caught a pair of pweety pweety Creme's 3-inch heels. Without wasting much time, I slipped it on my right foot and my, I felt like wearing a soft spongy heel. Not only it was comfortable but the quality looked good too. The only thing was, it was just a little too pricey for my regular shopping. I wouldn't pay anything more than RM60 to satisfy my "crave" unless I really needed that pair of heels for some functions. I need to get rid of my habit of buying expensive pretty heels and just keeping them in the box and at the same time, stacking them up on my gonna-fall-soon shoerack. I put the heel back to where it was and slowly turned around before walking away. I could hear myself talking in the head, "Nope, don't buy it. Stop it. But it's so pretty and I love it. The quality is way better than Vincci and it's gonna worth it. But hell, probably they have ran out of my size already. Yeah, the size I want no more already. So, no need to buy. No more. No more. No need to buy."

Well, the truth is, of cos I kept thinking about it until I received the catalogue from Padini Holdings the very next day which displayed the new collection of Vincci shoes. Bugger! Still, I was telling myself to stop and start to save some money, you idiot. But, but, the devil inside me was really evil because it made me purchased a pair of brown peep-toe heels at Cat Whiskers in Bangsar the very same day. After years of not buying non-branded heels, I gave in for the RM65 per pair with a koyak-rabak lousy box. Not really worthed the price when you know it's some made-in-china product but damn, they are pweeeeetyyyy pweeewiitttt!!!!!

There's also a new shop in Bangsar called PurpleDotz which started to operate just last week. Plus points for this shop are, nice environment compared to most of the shops available there, they give paperbag with every purchase and not some lousy plastic bag, and their cute, cute cakebox-like shoebox for every pair of heels you buy there. I wanted the box so badly but the shoes they are selling for the moment, in my opinion, suited for divas and some mak datins. Not to forget, their prices are rather reasonable though I would say the clothes and dresses there are not exactly in good quality. But heck, what do you expect. If you love it, then buy it. At least, they don't overcharge like certain shops around that area just because they give NICE paperbag. Doink! The only thing I felt cheated by PurpleDotz was the URL they've printed on the paperbag. It says www.purpledotz.com and duh, it's not working. I bet the domain is not even registered. Why-la, why you people do things half-past six? Anyway, I went home as a happy girl despite missing all the fireworks but later was really sad to find out the 2 chocolate mousse cakes I bought in Bakerzin already melted like some dirty poo-poo. :(

The next day came and I was still flipping the stupid catalogue looking at the same page over and over again. I've been whining non-stop and acting weirdly because the images of the shoes kept popping into my head. Finally, GebuDebu couldn't stand it more than I could stand myself, he dragged me to KLCC. There rest is history. I also remember I wrote a post 2 years ago about me buying 3 pairs of heels from Vincci. I checked and each pair only costed RM39.90 per pair while the heels that burnt my pocket 2 days ago costed RM75.90 per pair. Damn you, V! The worst thing is, I can't walk into Nose for this entire month. I need a therapist to cure my insanity.

On an unrelated matter, anyone heard the Toyota Hilux ad on radio few weeks ago? I kept on chuckling whenever I heard the ad on air cos the first time I heard it, I thought the man was saying Toyota Hailat. I was like WHAT??? Then only I thought about the big-sized Hilux. Kekekeke... I'm also very sure you people will keep hearing "Wake Me Up When September Ends" for this entire month AGAIN on the radio. Pfuhhh~

I am patriotic


Dear Diary,

Today marks my country, Malaysia, has achieved 50 years of independence. To show that I'm proud to be a Malaysian (which I, erm, don't really feel it this year), I purposely purchased certain LOCAL product in KLCC today. They are none other than (pretty) shoes and nope, not buatan Gombak like the one worn by Ashraf Sinclair but buatan Malaysia yang teramat sangat - VINCCI! And to show my semangat patriotik yang berkobar-kobar, I bought THREE pairs altogether!



.: This pair is super comfortable to wear especially to kai-kai :.


.: This pair is super pretty because of the colour but I don't have any dress to match it so ummm, errmm, arhhh... Don't ask me why I bought this but it explains impulse shopping very well :.


.: This pair is super elegant and goes well with anything and everything :.



I *heart* my heels very much, Diary. So much that I'm going to put them next to my bed so that I can bring them along into my dream later. Good night! :)

Love,
Faithful Local Product Supporter


And if you're wondering whether the second and the third pair are the same, your eyes are working perfectly fine. :d

YES, THEY ARE THE SAME BUT IN DIFFERENT COLOUR! -.-"


And NO photoshop job on this. -_________________________-"


I guess I was hypnotized earlier on. I must learn to smack my head harder next time.

Anyway, don't worry as I'll find a reason to wear those shoes at least ONCE because I've found reasonSSS to buy them all in a heart beat. Heeeeeeee.......


Btw, my wallet feels kinda empty right now. Anyone, care to donate some dollar notes to accompany my lonely coins? :D
