Stinginess

wahh... zhiyong is like.. so "happy" that his pay from that one week of teaching in MBS has come(finally)... he got a whopping RM40.00!! imagine... for 5 days of working he got 40 bucks... that's like 8 bucks a day... given that he worked from 1.30 to 6.30 that would be less then 2 bucks an hour... WOW...and he thought Bee's was stingy... he's SO going back to teaching after this experience!!don't try arguing that he actually taught for less then 4 hours each day... the fact of the matter was that he was payed to be in school from 1.30 to 6.30.. waiters don't get payed less just because there're no customers.. wow, the pay is so darn shockingly CHEAP that i'm too shocked to be angry.. even working in a factory for a week will get you more...

On the other hand... yesterday was zhiyong's birthday:)... many thanks to all those birthday msgs, esp. those from mei, beekun, yingkhai.. sunday's "church lunch" .. ofcourse, not 2 mention the family dinner:) tenq, tenq... zhiyong feels so appreciated:P... heheh, i just couldn't leave this out... there was this one small detail of zhiyong having to stay at home on the 26th :)
oh, i feel "SO RICH" (@_@)*rolling and rolling eyes*

... oh yeah, for emphasis on zhiyong's "richness problem"...todate, as of 27th July 12 noon, zhiyong has RM1.60 of credit left in his Samsung SGH C-100 :(...

the problem wif money is that people who have it wish for more and those who don't have it wish for even more of it..

online-a-bility

one big drawback of dial-up ISPs are that they consistently produce problems... not that u don't get any wif broadband...
zhiyong was unable to go online for 3 whole days!!... do you know how long that is...
it's 72 hours...
personally i'm amazed that zhiyong is unaffected by the whole ordeal...
he says that it's actually a good thing...
"yeah, right...*rolling eyes*

it ain't over till the fat lady sings

this blog isn't meant to be offensive or anything... but really... on last weeks malaysian idol, when Dina sang... it really was, until the Fat Lady sings... u don't know what it's gonna be..
she really blew away everybody.. and... got into the next round...
pity though.. the contestant i thought was really irritating (Fariz) didn't get thru... i thought he did okay.. at least better then Mr. Good Looking (Vic)

Another weekend over

hmm... another weekend over
zhiyong thinks it's not fair that all his activities are pushed into two hectic, packed, "rest-less".. days when the other 5 days he's reduced to almost absolute boredom...
not that he's really complaining though... :) at least he's almost forgotten what it means to have monday blues :P... and it's definitely better then having 7 days of boredom :)
 
Blogger has updated it's interface again... it's now more user frenly, less intellectually challenging, and...
oh.. yingkhai has just introduced me to his new blog... another one joins the community :)
oh... and it's Rowen's birthday.. wow, n i thot it was going to be another boring monday..
 
Still, it's about time i started opening my books... holidays left with 5 more weeks... :(

Get a life

Zhiyong should really get a life.. he really should..
He now realizes that besides church n bee's colleagues, he has hardly anybody else to contact(okay so there's mei:).. what a miserable way of spending these last few weeks of holiday...
Now that he thinks of it, it really isn't surprising since church has been the greatest constant in his life all these years.. but he really MUST get a life outside of church..
King Arthur's out today... let's hope i get to see it within the next few days... and hopefully NOT alone :)

Rain

It's raining where i am,
Is it raining where you are?

It brings hope everytime the raindrops fall,
Wash away the sin,
Wash away the sadness,
It reminds me of life and freedom.

It is raining where i am,
Is it raining where you are?

zhiyong told me once he loves it when it rains.. heavy rains, light showers..
it brings a small measure of peace.

IMU

hehe.. i got great news...
the many weeks of worrying is finally over..
i get 2 stay in good old Malaysia :) and... i won't have to move from seri petaling, not at least for the next 2 years :)
oh yeah.. i haven't mentioned it's because i got my place in IMU..
isn't life great? :)

burnout & snatch theivery

hmm.. i just encountered this interesting article concerning blogger burnout..
i'm like, wow.. is that even possible? :)

on the other hand, yesterday while having lunch with daniel and leena we witnessed a snatch thief attempt to steal something...it's almost amazingly scary how daring snatch theives have become.. it wasn't as if it occured in a mamak where there are no walls.. it occured in Bee's, where there're only 2 exits.. moreover it happened in broad daylight
It's the 1st time i witnessed a crime happening b4 my very eyes, so besides it being really shocking, i was also wondering what i should have done.
Unsurprisingly, i also realized what a chicken i am :) my first instinct wasn't to go after the theif but more to duck under the table and hide :)

Ohana

Lilo: Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.
Stitch: This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good.
Lilo & Stitch quotes from imdb.com

I've watched many movies... some serious, some not so serious, but i think the most profound statement of all still comes from a disney film called Lilo & Stitch:)

In a world where people often get left behind and forgotten, and trust is as fleeting as the passing wind... it's nice to remember the idea of Ohana.. idealistic? true.. but nevertheless, it sure is one happy thought to think of especially when you're stuck at home with nothing to do...
It's nice to have family.. to belong, to be accepted..

tonsilitis??

okay... i must make it a habit to blog here everyday.. not just when i've something to write..uhh, that doesn't make sense rite? i can't blog if i've nothing 2 write :)

mei is sick.. she's down with tonsilitis.. i wonder what's that? apparently she's quite suffering.. so i sent here a card acknowledging my ignorance of this disease :)
i'm rather of the opinion that firls get sick much more easily then girls... wonder why?

insanity

this is absolutely insane...
last thursday the L.A.M.E committee(which unfortunately included me) and some other unfortunate souls gathered to..uhh, purposefully search for entertainment :)
i don't think i've ever laughed so much...i mean, how much crazier can u get den acting out lame scenes from movies with lame lines...and the killer: making prank calls so between ,"Stop scratching my butt while i'm talking" and "Is that mucus or nosehair sticking out your nose," ... we practically killed ourselves.. and i mean KILL ourselves over laughing at innocent church members who would believe that "Toilet King Co." called them up to conduct a toilet habits survey... and that Miss Candy from Match.com wants to date them:)
okay... so we're evil... but it was FUN :)admit it... making fun of ppl is the funnest thing u can ever do or dream of doing :)
