So how was your new year?

So how was everybodies new year??? Hope it went well...lotsa ang pows and for those who gamble hope you won lots too. As for me? Well i had pretty much the same new year as i did last year...and the year before...and the year before...and, it goes on and on. I never do much on new years actually, just eat and drink and thats about it. I'd say that this year is the first year i didn't go club for new years as well as chinese new year, and i think its a bit of a shocker to me. Oh well not that it matters anyway...although i'd dare say i kinda miss hitting the clubs every now and then.

Basically i slept all through the first 3 days of chinese new year....yes thats right, sleep!!! Been waking up really late, and sleeping really late. Like now for instance, i haven't slept since last night...And by gawd i'm sleepy. Problem is i can't exactly go to sleep right now, mainly cause there is this HUGE guy thats sleeping on my make shift bed (couch) not only that he's also sleeping on top of my blanket. How la to move the fella to take my blanket so i can sleep somewhere else, i definately won't be able to sleep in the same room as him...The guy has got stereo surround i tell you, i can even hear him from here (front the hall to my room...doors open la of course). Oh well looks like i've gotta find some way to entertain myself till he wakes up so i can go to sleep.

Passing time in KLIA

I think todays was a very surprising day. It started out normal just like every other day...me waking up thinking of what i want to do and where to go and eat and stuff like that when i decided to call a friend to ask him for his plans and if hes gonna go out for dinner. Well i called him a little too late cause he was already having his dinner...but then he asked me if i wanted to accompany him to KLIA, and yes that is the airport. In the beginning it really didn't occur to me that he said KLIA instead i thought he said KLCC, so i thought yeah ok why not...after all i need to get some grub right.

A little over an hour or two of waiting and he finally called to tell me that he is on his way, and a good 15 minutes later he arrived. I got in my car and he asked the silliest questions (to me its silly anyway), he started asking me if i knew how to get to KLIA, hrm...now why is he asking me how to get to the airport i thought to myself. And thats when it hit me that the destination is KLIA and not KLCC. The reason for going there was to help send a friend to the airport because she is going back to her home town in Kuching (is it kuching??? damn can't remember must be getting old).

There was a problem though, you see the friend that was flying already has a ticket but the flight was due for a night flight which is a bad thing considering that tomorrow night is the family dinner (make that tonight) and so she had to go early and try to get an earlier flight hoping that some of the people that booked their tickets never came to collect. And so we being the 'nice' people that we are, we accompanied her at the airport for 3 hours plus (I know because the parking machine told me so). Ate my dinner there (very expensive dinner i might add...and thats for KFC), walked around looking for some coffee house or cafe to no avail. Sat down at McD's and chatted until the driver got really tired before we took off.

So in the end it wasn't really too bad, the earliest flight would be about 7am, which isn't that long a wait anymore considering all the time we spent there. If she were to have waited alone from the very beginning then that would be a different story all together la. So today i had a drastic change of environment (in terms of lepak), and i made a mental note to myself...never go to the airport to spend time because everything there is just too damn fucking expensive. And to everyone...

Fearless

I caught the latest and last kung fu movie from Jet Li late last night...For those of you who don't know, the movie is entitled "Fearless". I've got to say that was a typical Jet Li movie, what i didn't know or didn't realised was that the movie was a remake of a previously made Jet Li movie, although i can't really remember the name of that movie (I think its called "Fist of Legend"). Its really about the same person and both stories are based on a true story about 1 guy beating the crap out of them foreigners.

What i really really liked about the show was how he used many forms of martial arts to display his prowess...not like we don't already know la right, but regardless i think it was interesting to see almost everything if not everything being displayed. Of course it wasn't displayed all at the same time la, Mainly he used more fists techniques (you know like all his movies kinda style la)...other then that they were some really nice utilizations of weapons and some funky swordsplay. And of course what would a Jet Li movie be without the infamous Tai Chi.

Because this is suppose to be his LAST kung fu movie (yeah well...thats what they all say la right, we'll see) i really liked the way it ended, of course i'm not gonna spoil the story for all those that haven't been able to watch it yet la. But the one thing that i really have to complain is...The translation really sucks, being a 'Banana man' i have to read subtitles...but seriously i think i was better of listening to what they were saying. The really slack part about the translation is they don't translate the chinese characters during the intro and the end of the movie...thats why i had to ask some chinese speaking/reading friend to tell me what the hell those words at the end of the movie meant...And thats also how i finally found out that it is based on a true story. All in all if you're a real martials arts freak like me then i'd recommend the movie, its rather entertaining that way other then that you'd probably be better off avoiding paying for it...especially if you can't read chinese.

The 3 letters that gave me relief

I received three emails yesterday all of which made me a rather relieved man, one was that my unimpressive and crappy resume was submitted to a company that i have to find out what and therefore i can expect some interviews to come soon, which also means that i am gonna start working soon...oh how i dread the future. But its all good i even have a master plan laid out with that i'm gonna do with the whatever i'm gonna earn, hope its not too little. I'll decide on what i wanna get first when i find out how much i'm gonna get....cheh, make it sound like i damn sure i'm gonna fucking get the job like that, hell i don't even know whether i'd like it or not. Oh well like it or not i guess i have to start somewhere, i mean its not like everyday that you get to choose what kinda job you wanna take, considering that i am a fresh grad...a very old one too, lol!!!

The second email was a few words of encouragement from a dear dear friend who lives pretty far away. Well, thanks alot for them encouragement, i hope i don't disappoint anyone anytime soon...actually i think that that is not as important as disappointing myself la, so i better wake up and get my lazy ass off whatever i'm doing and put some heart into doing what i need to do and when i need to do. So i guess right now i'll just bid whatever free time i have left until that fine day when the weekends are like diamonds...hahaha. Oh come one i'm sure many of you would agree with me that once you actually start working you don't really have a life anymore and seem to have less and less time for the things that you used to do. Well if you don't agree with me then you suck!!! :P

The third and final letter was a major relieve for me, you see a few days ago a friend of mine was very down and all of a sudden all contact that i've had with that person has been severed. Well at least thats what i thought la, and so i got really worried because i was afraid that that friend of mine would do something stupid...fortunately though i was wrong la, phew!!! That was one hell of a relief i tell you...Oh well looks i just enjoy to get all worked up huh??? Well i'm glad that my friend is now ok, at least thats the impression that i got la anyway...I'm sure that things will work out for that friend of mine, so in the mean time just sit back relax and take a deep breath before taking a step forward. As for what i did, well sleep whole day woke up to WoW and got nothing accomplished...Again!!! and thats practically bout it, hell i didn't even leave the house till about 2am, and now i'm so damn freaking tired so i think i'll go to sleep.

As i prepare to venture forward

Wah busy busy again...well still free enough to blog and play WoW la. You see i have been pressured left, right, center, inside, outside, up and down to get a job so ok lor i started sending out my so very unimpressive resume lor with the help of my best friends auntie also lor. And because i don't wanna be slacking for too long letting my mind rot from too much WoW, i had to step up a notch in terms of WoW la so that i can faster get it off my mind then i can concentrate on other more important areas that i should put my mind to lor. Thank god today is actually what we call the weekly maintenance day where the server goes down and theres a whole lot of free time to do whatever shit that needs to be done, like going out to catch some sun...lol. Yeah i got that from one fella in WoW tell you all about it next time.

But then right i quite the scarred of working also la, i mean i've actually been into the corporate world before already albeit for a very short 6 months but nevertheless its still and experience all together la. And frankly speaking i'm not very sure i'm absolutely ready for it la you know. But i mean i have to do it sooner or later what right so i guess its best now then never la, besides i'm not getting any younger and its already a problem as it is because i'm so freaking old and i've been slacking for a damn fucking long time, so yeah i should get my ass of to work. Doesn't really matter where or what i do la right after all we all have to start somewhere, the important thing is getting some money and most importantly getting the work experience what. So yeah la i guess a new chapter in my life is about to unfold, i wonder what dangers await me.....
