No, Still No Pictures

I admit, I am NOT independent. I have much to learn about myself. I can only do fine when with the presence of a family or a friend. So does everyone else. I am currently rotting in New Zealand. Earlier when I stayed at Edte's auntie's friend's house, it was warm, and friendly, and comfortable. I did not feel much of the nostalgia. Ever since I moved into this hostel, I got a full slap in the face with nostalgia, loneliness, and everything else. I had no mood to go exploring, no appetite and no sleep. I started thinking more about my comfort zone in Malaysia. Then I started to point out the shit in the hostel. Hostel are not Hotels. They have a S(hit) in the middle to represent "sucks".

This hostel claims that it is 15 minutes walk from the Uni. I tried and it took me 30 minutes to reach my class. This hostel provides internet. I went in and they told me I have to buy my own internet cable in order to use the internet. This hostel cost NZD244 per week. I got a room the size of my home's toilet. The aunt's place I stayed gave me a room twice bigger for NZD80. This hostel charges me NZD4 each time I was to wash my clothes. My aunt's place just ask me to buy my own washing powder. This hostel is located in the corner of a t-junction road and is uphill. Cars, lorries, and buses accelerate louder when using them. This hostel is right beside a Big General Hospital. Ambulance roars once to thrice a day. 10 minutes away from the hostel arewhere prostitutes find clients. This hostel is in such a strategic area that it is hard to find any fresh food markets, proper restaurants, and the bank. This hostel is over-priced because it is totally not worth it. And this hostel is not fully occupied. I am so lonely here. As I am eating alone, and walking alone, I start to feel slightly depressed. However, I just have to bear with it for now because I am planning to move out and back to the aunt's house.

There are only two rooms in the aunt's house and both are occupied now. She will kick one of her tenants out for me because she has been meaning to do so anyway. Now it just depends on when can the tenant move out so that I can move in. I really hope I can move in soon because I am not really happy staying in the hostel. And that does not reflect a good start to my university life. I am sorry that I am not friendly to go around knocking on doors to meet new people. I just lack the courage to do such acts without the presence of a friend or family. I need a catalyst to do anything. It is cold and I am upset. The lack of sleep due to the noise pollution and the bloody small bed could have affected my mood as well. Also the fact that I do not feel settled down in this tiny room.

One could say I am very intact with the proverb 'no man is an island'. I do not work well as a single island. Also I am immovable like an island. I cant approach and join with any other islands to form a continent. I need islands to join me to form a continent of friendship. I am not saying as though Im some useless shit lying around here complaining and hoping for the best. I did try to make myself better from time to time. For example, the day before, I refused to go out anywhere because I didn't felt like it and I was still in a shock. Today I went out for food and I saw a couple of asians. I tried to talk to them. I was shy and didnt say a word but at least the intention was there. The urge was there. Soon I will overcome my shyness and be able to move myself. I hope.

A Blade Cuts Both Ways

It's one thing to be brief,

It's another thing to be boring,

It's one way to be original,

It's another way to have nothing.

A Man says, "I do..",
In his heart, "..whatever I want",

The cake is romantic,

But the knife is blunt.

A small drop,

Gathered by small cups,
No big drop,

Without big cup,

No big cup,

Without big drop.

She touched him,

Affection or Attraction?

He loves her,

She does not,

He hates her,

She hates him,

It was but a simple, gentle, tap of sensation.

Blown Away

Yesterday my cousin sister had her bachelor party. I mean, spinster party. This morning her friends played A LOT of pranks on her husband and friends. Tonight she had her wedding at a beautiful restaurant and everything, almost everything, went perfectly well. Every table was provided with newspaper. Apparently, one of her wedding photos were displayed in some advertisement or competition thing in the Nanyang Siang Pau. If anyone of my readers read that newspaper, if you notice a pink advertisement with two photos of two different wedding couple, the couple in red traditional chinese costume is my cousin and her husband. Though I am not sure whether is the newspaper for today or tomorrow.

I dressed especially nice for her wedding because she is actually one of my favourite cousins. I have no particular reason to mention this but to state that I usually wear normal jeans and collar t-shirt to other people's weddings. Not that other people are not worth it, but I just dress specially for people I am close with.

This wedding dinner was unlike any other wedding dinner's I have been to. It is almost exactly the same as most wedding dinner's I have been to but in this one I actually had fun. I chatted with alot of people I didn't know and took lots of photographs with my other cousins. I also got closer to my niece. For the record, I am shy with kids. I don't know how to baby talk or kiddy talk and play with kids. I am afraid to be kissed or even kiss a child. Eventhough they are just so darn adorable. I also don't know how to carry a kid. I tend to make them feel uncomfortable. However, I am learning and I think I am improving. I think I am. Because one niece keeps coming to me whenever she sees me and jump around me.

Everything was almost perfect, for me. But I screwed myself up and ended in regret. A dead end path to regret. (I am such an Idiot). She was perfect. (I am such an Idiot). She was right there. (I am such an Idiot). I didn't even say hi or anything. (I am such an Idiot). I talking to the elder people and everyone, (I am such an Idiot) but not even a single word to her. (I am such an Idiot). I kept thinking (I am such an Idiot), I should not bother her while she is working. (I am such an Idiot). But what chance will I have left? (I am such an Idiot). I didn't know (I am such an Idiot) why I chose regret (I am such an Idiot) over making a new friend. (I am such an Idiot). I really wanted to approach. (I am such an Idiot). But I felt so held back. (I am such an Idiot). After all I learned (I am such an Idiot) I could apply nothing. (I am such an Idiot). Such a big slap in the face on a rare opportunity. (I am such an Idiot). (I am such an Idiot). (I am such an Idiot).

So I will try to post some pictures of the wedding if I get my hands on them. I also want to post some pictures about my BEST OUTING evers but NEO Y.T. still won't send me the pictures I asked for (Just kidding, no rush, take your time, girl).

The Best Exist

Someone fugging stole my camera's brain! Now he can only remember a maximum of 26 pictures! Who would do such a thing!? Idiot!

Anyway, I will have my first Korean Exam next Tuesday and I am so afraid that I might screw it up. Since I'm slow and all. And on the other hand, I still have so many troublesome things to settle for New Zealand. Accommodation, class enrolment, fees, forms, forms, and more forms.

As for today, I went to Pavillion and met up with Chewie at Carl's entrance after my class. I had a Guacamole Bacon Cheeseburger, which was awesome. Carl's Jr makes the best burgers, in my opinion. We went for a walk to KLCC after, to burn off some of the bulge on our belly.

There was a Lego Promotion at the centre court. We checked it out for a while before going up to Level 4 to meet Yesha, Raju and the others. I am aiming to get a little scoop on JAK. Anyway, we chatted with them until Neo came. Then chatted some more until 6.20p.m. That is when we started walking out to the bus station and took a bus to my area. My turf. Chewie, me and Neo chatted throughout the whole journey from KLCC to my place.

We walked to the main attraction of the day, I was the "tour guide". Chewie ate 6 Nasi Lemak Marvellous, Neo had 2 and I had 1. Chewie claims that he can eat more because it's so damn good, but I have yet to see him eat more than 6. But it really IS that good, so are the Ayam Merah, Ayam Kampung, and beef. After dinner, we went back to my crib. We hung out in my room until they had to go. I drove them to the train station and that was the end of this short outing. However, though simple as it sounds, I had one of THE best outing ever. It felt so perfect. Everything went well, physically and emotionally. The plan was undistrupted and the conversations were full and exciting. It was literally one of the Best outing that I have ever experienced. I never knew things would be so flexible, especially since it is through this outing I get to know Neo for the first time, but we got along just fine. The factor of just having a three person outing may reduce the possibility of a less smooth outing, but screw that! I had a damn good time and I'll definitely miss alot when I'm gone.

I wish I had some pictures to show, but I am not really the type of person who knows when is the right time to take a picture. It could be that I am not photogenic which causes me to avoid taking pictures. Anyhow, someone bloody stole my camera's memory card, so I can't take any pictures anyway.

The Same Cruise

I too am feeling very stressed lately. All these discomfort building up inside me. The feeling of the weight of the world upon our shoulders. The troubled mind bringing disgusting frightful nightmares to our sleep. A continuous rise of pressure as we notice lesser and lesser comfort spots in our days. Why are we feeling so? What change in our lives has brought upon such pain? The anxiety before going to University? The hectic life of University?

Everywhere we need to be, everything we need to do, should not be blamed upon for this stress we all have. This is the stress of Moving On. As we move on, those we fear will undoubtedly happen, those we avoid will hit on us in bulks, and those we have to achieve does not bother if we are in the mood or not. In this Real Life, the part where we get used to - or adapt towards- involves a huge amount of stress. The most important thing where going through this test is not to lose oneself.

I am getting so absorbed into the preliminary stages that I am beginning to act different, feel different, and become different. Pessimism always aims us for times like this. We should not create a habitat for pessimism. What happened to enjoy life? Since when did we forget to look outside the box? That above all these confusion, there is the fact that if we don't enjoy ourselves, we won't have much time left to do so. How long do we live? The average life span may suggest 70-80 years, but do a discreet calculation and how long do we really have time to enjoy? How long do we get to smile and be happy leaving wonderful memories in our experience? What is the benefit in wasting our limited time embracing stress and despair? Define, Moving On.

The most important thing in remaining intact with oneself is by being with our dearest friends. They are what makes us, us. I have not been meeting my friend as often as in college anymore and I have seen changes in me. I fall back in negativity and nightmares. I regret not inviting a friend to take this Korean Class with me. I feel so lonely now. I tried to make new friends. But the only three classmates I have are so shy and avoiding. I miss my friends. I want to hang out with them. But how many would have time to hang out with me? Everybody is so engulfed by their own stress, that there isn't any time in the schedule for anyone.

I started thinking. What happens when I go to New Zealand? How much lonelier would I feel? Is this the price of overseas education? I say I would have no regrets. But there is only an ounce of truth in that. No one would have no regrets when going far away from home for so long. Even for the coldest person, he would at least regret not having more roti canai or goreng cempedak.

What we should do now is stop. Take a five second pause. Restart. And live the way we imagine it to be. Find light in everything and make it all worthwhile. Smile through darkness and stay intact with the stars around you. Hang out with the stars. Hang out with this star(me)! I'm so freaking bored! Embrace the freedom in your life! A change is not always hard, it depends on how you make it. Force yourself to be happy when doing anything and you will eventually get used to being happy.

(Note: All those encouragement are for myself mostly. It is not directed at everyone, hence, I am not stating that everyone is having the same-if not worse-condition as me. However, feel free to imply them in yourself if you find them right.)

First Class

No the title does not refer to my flight seating on July 4th. And yes I am going to fly to Auckland, New Zealand on July 4th. Most of what I need to do to apply for my Visa is almost done. After that I just need to think, pack, buy, and remember whatever I need to bring. I will also need to meet all my friends before I go. So I am going to resign from Kinokuniya by May 31st.

Talking about meeting, I just celebrated my 20th Birthday two days ago. I received so many presents, half of them in the form of ang paus. I am planning to use the money to buy a good webcam and a compatible microphone for my computer. I was planning to mix my farewell party into the birthday party. Unfortunately, so many people were unable to turn up (in the end there was just 5 of my friends who came). Also there were many whom I do not have the contact number. I asked some friends to help me invite those who I do not have the contact number of. Unfortunately, I found out too late that they, apparently, magically, instantaneously forgot my request and did not invite those I do not have the contact number of.

Anyway, I still had loads of fun in my party and thanks to everyone for their generous gift. I still have 39 days to spend in Malaysia and I have a few agendas that must be fulfilled:

1. Have Nerotus show me my old drawings
2. Have Nerotus sleepover at my place.

3. Meet up with as many SN8a,b,c friends as possible in, hopefully, one awesome gathering.

4. Have number 3 included with lecturers if possible.

5. Bring Chewie (and if possible Raju, Yesha and Farah) for Marvellous Nasi Lemak.

6. Go watch Night Of The Musuem 2 with someone who has been asking for it for so many times.

7. Have a 5K reunion with as many of my high school mates as possible.

8. Buy a new webcam and microphone for my computer.

That's all I have for now. But there may be more that I need to accomplish before I can leave with less regrets.

In explanation for my title, today was my first korean language class. Yes I used up my hard earned money from Kinokuniya and spent 2/3 of it on this language course which I have absolutely no guarantee of making it useful in the future. I am just taking it for the fun of it and I hope I will not forget it. But I doubt I will forget it since I am working so hard on it and I used my self earned money. However, we don't know the future. It will go to waste if I don't use it. I shall make more Korean friends when I am in New Zealand. Or I could just try out on the Korean students in ISKL.

Anyway, I don't seem to be getting what I paid for. I mean not much of it. The price does not match the quality. My teacher is very weak in english. Thus, it becomes hard for me to actually know what does she want us to do. She keeps talking in korean (on our FIRST CLASS) as though we would know what she is talking about and that we will do as she teaches. I would have gone out to complain saying that I could get more understandable teachers for a lesser amount of price. I felt such an urge because it was actually my own money involved in this case.

Fortunately, there was a classmate who already has some basic in Korean and she can actually know, more or less, what the teacher is trying to tell us or ask us to do. So as long as I am not falling behind, I won't complain.

By the way, I am the only boy in that class. There are only five students and even the teacher is a lady. It feels so odd being the only dude. Being in that class, it felt like I was back in my tuition centre studying for my SPM. The smell of the marker ink on the white board, the echo of the teachers in that tiny classroom, the desk and the chairs, the cold air, and how everytime we laugh people from other classes would wonder what is happening on the other side. It brings back so many memories that occasionally my attention drifted from the lesson. However, I tried to remain focus for the whole 2 hours so that I can absorb 100% of what I am taught. I must make this course value for money.

Today I learned how to read, write, and pronounce vowels and half of the consonants. Another half will be taught tomorrow. Too bad I have to work for Stock Taking in Kino tomorrow. I told the teacher and she was kind enough to tell me what she will teach in the 2 hour class tomorrow in 5 minutes before I left. And then she told me to attend the class 40 minutes earlier on Wednesday so she can help me catch up. I guess being the only boy in the class does pay off. Either that or she is just a very responsible teacher. On another note, I should not call myself "boy" anymore since I am already 20. It would just sound. . .wrong. I am the only MAN.

I had some difficulties trying to remember the pronouciation of 어, 으, and 오 today. The first and the last are so freaking similar in sound that it was very hard for me to make it obvious the difference in pronounciation. At one point, the teacher decided to give up trying to make me pronounce the difference and let me be. I had problems recalling the second one when I was focused on practicing the first and the third. It ain't easy to learn a new language. Now I feel that cold hard fact. But overall it was quite fun learning a new language. I love languages.

I think my Korean name is written 스 두 치 즈 . I am not yet able to fully type in korean, but I will try it when I can. Don't worry, I will not fully koreanize my blog. Besides, I will most probably be talking nonsense or something unimportant when writting in Korean. Because it would just be part of my practice. I would practice on Microsoft Word, unfortunately, I don't have that programme. Stupid, isn't it? Dell give me Windows Vista Home Basic and it does not include Microsoft Word, Excel, or even Power Point.

Here's to hoping everything goes well and dandy for the next 39 days!

Pangkor Laut Resort (PLR)

This package promotion was totally, definitely, absolutely, worth it. RM700++ per person and the food and services you get there are exquisite. Pangkor Laut Resort is a perfect place to go....for couples!

The View From Our Apartment in Ipoh Tower

Our first stop was Ipoh. There were five of us for this trip. Me, The Parents, The brother, and That girl (How rude of me, but for privacy sake). We stayed one night at the Hotel Regency Ipoh Tower something something. It was a new apartment hotel. It smelled new and I like things that smells new.

At night, after watching the Man U against Arsenal football match, we went down to the lounge to listen to a live band. There was this electric guitar uncle who played so skillfully and adorable at the same time. It was just funny looking at him play.

On the next day, we left for Lumut. At Lumut, we rode the speed boat to PLR. It was a 25 minute windy ride. I love boats. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a brownish yellow jelly fish the size of my head. It looked so cute. Dancing in the surface of the sea. LOOKS harmless.

The Speedy Boat Ride To PLR

The welcoming was very warm and friendly. I like the service there. They treat everyone equally and with full cooperation and assistance. The workers there are not local. Most of them aren't. They are from Bangladesh, Myanmar, and some other countries. And it is because of that, there are no biased services.

After we checked in, we walked to the Ray Beach Restaurant for our lunch. Then we walked back for a quick nap. But I didn't felt like sleeping. Neither did The Parents. So we relaxed for a while in the beautiful Hill Villas that we got, then went out to explore. When we walked to the reception, I saw some movements in the water. No ordinary movements. From far, I analysed the vague figures to be dolphins. My dad and I ran out towards the ferry to take a closer look, and some photographs. It turned out they were three seals! I didn't manage to take any good pictures of them, merely three dots on the vast sea in the photograph. But I managed to take a mental picture of the seals when their heads pop out from the water. They look so friggin' cute!

One The Nicest Seats At The Shuttle Bus Station

Then we walked around aimlessly until a Shuttle Bus picked us up and took us to Emerald Bay. Emerald Bay was the perfect couple spot. It was the right place for a proposal, a wedding, or just a romantic sunset view. We relaxed there for a long time. My brother and that girl came to join us later. We ordered a couple of coconuts, each cost RM16.

When it was close to 8.30p.m. we went back to change our clothes, then took a shuttle bus to the Fisherman's Cove restaurant. I specifically mentioned the change of clothes part because they had a dress code for the restaurant. It was my first time experiencing true fine dining. There were so many Fine Dining Rules I was unaware of. The food were beautiful. The view was dark but the ambiance was perfect, though the temperature slightly sweaty.

Every meal, was a over-fulfilling meal. We walked home most of the time. When we got back, we opened a bottle of white wine and spend some time chatting on the balcony. It was a perfect evening....for couples!

I woke up early on the day after and went for breakfast at the Feast Village restaurant with The Parents. The breakfast buffet was very "high-classed" but the variety of food was unexpected for the reputation they present so far. Though most of it's quality still preserved. Whatever it is, I comment, once again, the service was extremely fine, very friendly, and full of pleasant smiles.

After breakfast, we went kayaking in the sea. My brother teamed with that girl and I was with my dad. I got sun burn. But it was fun. The wind, the water, the view. We saw a couple of those huge jelly fish swimming around. Close up they were twice to thrice the size of my head.

Then we went to Emerald Bay again for a swim. We played in the water for quite a while. When it was time for lunch, we went to the washroom for a quick shower. Though it was supposed to be a simple shower, it was like the best shower ever. They had hair shampoo, body shampoo, and conditioner, prepared in the shower room. Then there were towels outside the shower room waiting for anyone who needs to use them. It was so relaxing. So convenient. Perfect.

Emerald Bay Water Play (Secret Spot)

Our lunch was just behind the beach, at a restaurant called Chapman's Bar. The medium-rare beef steak I ordered was very juicy and delicious. I just have to mention that particular main course because I love beef, so I am very picky about beef, and they made a damn good beef steak. We went back to our villas after and took a shower, again, to wash off any remaining sand or sea water. However, I did not shower. I went straight down hill with my brother and played tennis. We played for more than an hour and I learned alot about tennis from him. I had a good amount of sweat and exercise, considering the amount of food I'm being fed all the while.

I went back for a nice salt bath and then a clean shower. Then rested in the room for a while. A few moments later, I woke up and saw a Hornbill on the balcony. It was surprising to see one so up close. I always thought them to be more comfortable on the coconut trees or somewhere away from humans. He looked so comfortable and serene. I went in and got some food, then sneaked out. I looked at my brother's villa and he had two hornbills on his balcony. And he looked so indifferent reading his magazine while the hornbills relaxed on his balcony. I placed the food on a surface and the hornbill flew away. Then I sat on the chair and looked at my brother's balcony.

Suddenly, the hornbill flew back and slowly and carefully, approached the food. Then it ate. Then more hornbill started to come. All of a sudden, in just a few seconds, both our balcony, cumulatively had eleven hornbills. Those resting on the roof of our villas were not included in the previous calculation. It felt like all the hornbills in that part of the island gathered at our villa for their Annual General Meeting or something. My mom brought out some more food and they ate happily. At this point, I regretted even more for not bringing my camera. I could have taken a picture of all the hornbills. But I had thought my phone has a camera now and that would suffice. I was wrong. There were so many things which a camera could do that a phone camera couldn't that I didn't take the time to realize before.

HornBill I

Hornbill Feast (There were more on the left and right and one below the chair I'm on)

Close Up Of The Hornbill Which Left The "Present"

When the hornbills all flew away for their own business, one stayed behind to eat. Then then he left a "present" and flew away, we went to Uncle Lim restaurant for our dinner. The chinese food felt homely, and relaxing for once. After all the heavy western food we've had the whole time. As we walked back along the Sea Villas, I saw a huge stone fish and a couple of pointy fish (now sawfish, something else). My brother had met an old friend earlier in the afternoon. So when we returned to our villa, he went to have a chat with his old friend with that girl.

Last night I did not sleep so well at all. It was so damn cold. I woke up later than yesterday morning because I was still quite tired from yesterday's activity. We went for breakfast at Feast Village again. They had pretty much the same food as yesterday morning. I didn't felt like eating much. We checked out immediately after breakfast.

Yesterday morning, there were 6 monkeys passing by our villa. This morning more than 10 monkeys came to our villa. One entered our room and stole one apple. Some monkeys played with my brother's clothes which was left to dry outside. My dad took aggresive action and the monkey wanted to fight with him. I told my dad to stop threatening them and let them be. They left after a while. They looked quite cute though.

We left at 12p.m. Bought some food at Lumut. Drove all the wave to LCCT airport. Had KFC for dinner. See my brother and that girl off, back to Singapore. Came back home. Invited by a gas bomb of cat poo. It was too dark to locate the shit. Unpacked, showered, and prepared to go to bed. It was a very tiring trip, but very enjoyable. Although there were many activities that I missed and could not join due to the costly price, but I'm glad I experienced many things that could not be bought by money.

Shining water before I leave for home. The Last view of PLR sea water. It is thanks to this trip that I realize the depressing fate of of my 5S. The 5S that I am suffering in this period. I am hoping that this is just a period, a phase, that will pass and life would be different after that. You must be wondering what this cruel fate of 5S that has befallen me. Allow me to enlighten you. I am Short, Straight, Silly, Sad, and Single.

Quick Chick

Two days ago, something happened in Kinokuniya. An elderly man fell at the children section. It was a carpeted floor. But still, it was a fatal fall, and he bled. He cut his lips, I presumed, based on the collective rumours. I did not saw or heard anything. But according to the stories, they heard a loud bump as though very heavy books fell on the carpet floor. Turned out to be a person. Chewie saw it and went straight to the office to get some first aid. Unfortunately, he could not find what he needed to perform the first aid. And he thought, it was his turn to shine and put what he learned to good use. Later the man left, holding a handkerchief against his lips, with his wife. We had lost a customer to the carpet floor at the children's section.

Yesterday, the man's son came to complain our Kinokuniya. According to what I heard, he was planning to sue Kinokuniya for not being able to provide first aid and that our floor was uneven, hence causing the fall. The latter felt like bullshit and pure childish reasons to cover up an embarrassment. I, however, did not find any reason to make up a scene. People fall all the time. Why should they be any special?

Later at night, a fight broke out. I do not know enough details about this, nor will I post much about this particular occurrence.

As for me, University of Auckland has offered me a position. If everything else goes well, I may be leaving Malaysia to New Zealand by the first week of July. If everything don't go so well, I will be leaving to Singapore by the last week of July. If everything goes down hill to a quicksand, I will not be leaving Malaysia and have to wait for 2010. That would suck A LOT.

Lastly, there will be a surprise SMS to a certain amount of people and I sincerely hope they will be able to respond positively to it as it would mean alot to me, especially since I will be away. Far far away.

I forgot to mention the purpose of the title. Today I saw Huay Ee. I've always seen her from far but today up close I barely recognised her. She talked so fast and left so fast. I couldn't even reply to her quick questions on time. By the time I recovered from the shock of seeing her in Kinokuniya, she already said goodbye and had disappeared. I am not shock because she knows Kinokuniya. I am shock because I get to meet someone I know in Kinokuniya. Mind you, I haven't seen anyone I know for a very very long time already. So it is perfectly normal for me to feel surprised. A joyous type of surprise. Though I do not understand why was she in such a rush. I couldn't even retrieve my question book from my brain and chat with her before she finished her part of the conversation so quick and left. She probably has to meet with a friend or something. Maybe next time then.

What A Rewarding Day

This is the day that I am supposed to be working. I was so free in the morning. Because the logistics were going all out to finish up many things since tomorrow will be a holiday, I was not needed inside to wrap anything. On the sales floor there were so little trolleys, that there was nothing much to display anymore. I was just walking around with Ayesha most of the time and chatting. There was nothing much to do at all.

Then Ramdhan called me to help him carry bags for a customer. We each carried a paper bag full of books and followed him outside, where his driver was waiting. When we placed the bags into the car, he tipped us both. It was awesome.

Later in the afternoon I got a little busy because I we went to help Yoke Ping with the comics shelf. After lunch, I went into the office to help load batteries into the new scanner. It may sound like an easy job, but I had to load batteries into 87 scanners. Each scanner already has batteries, but are half dead. So I had to remove and reload. I was working with a japanese lady. When I was done, I went out to remove stickers from books.

When I was near the travel section, two ladies came to ask for help. They wanted to find a new copy of a certain Malaysia map. Unfortunately there was no copy left. They were holding the last one. But that Map was damaged severely and had no price tag. It was a browsing copy. This was the case. It seems simple. But it became hard because I didn't know how to explain browsing copy to them in sign language. Because they were signing here and there to me the whole time, I thought they either didn't know english or they were deaf. It was later, after my senior had settled them, that I was told they were actually just mute and they do understand english.

Before I finish, I have an announcement to make. New Zealand Natural in KLCC, that ice cream stall, is currently having a very brief promotion. They are having this promotion today and tomorrow only. 30th April to 1st May. So go to KLCC tomorrow if you wish to enjoy this promotion. Here are the requirements.

I already used my chance today. I had English Toffee ice cream on a cone. I have no idea why did they have this promotion and why just those 5 years, but go get your free ice cream before the promotion ends! The ice cream are actually quite smooth and delicious!

Intoxicated

Today is not a good day to work. Not for me. So many cranky people. So many uptight people. Something has gotten over the females of the working place and many of them are being unusually serious and somber. Also I was put to wrapping for almost the whole day. I shrink and wrapped 5 trolleys on my own within 6 hours. I inhaled gallons of plastic gas and my limbs are now exhausted.

Eventhough she seems sick today, she gave me a T-shirt. Such a nice lady. Well, she didn't only give me, there were four others. There isn't really much to talk about today since I was just wrapping the freaking whole day. I guess this is one of those very rare moments when I actually go against myself and write a post which does not require any scrolling to finish.

I'll try to get something interesting to happen so I can talk. Sounds desperate. Oh well.
