The Most Annoying thing I Hate

I know I haven't been updating recently, why? Because I've been quite busy.... with work..... and games.... and I just didn't know what to write about, and neither did I have many new photos to post, photos get boring anyway if people don't know how to appreciate it.... anyway, so what's with today?


I happened to realise that a few of my friends have been writing about insects lately..... And guess what? I found out that I had problems with them too!


Just as I was gearing up for my sweet dream slumber, those tiny annoying black bugs appear out of nowhere and start messing around with you. No, in this case they don't stick to you and kiss you, they don't buzz your ear or start a choir. But for my case, they go shopping all over my table all day long, and as if THAT is not enough, they even had to populate the FLOOR with themselves.

They attack my honey (not honey bunny or whatever, bee honey, the golden brown sweet stuff) even after I've cleaned the lid; they scavenge my rubbish bin for biscuit crumbs; they attack my empty cornflakes boxes; they drink from my water bottle; and best of all.....? They infiltrate my Laptop!!


Mosquitoes are one thing...... they fly around and make you slap your own self stupidly in vain of trying to put them to their death, and leave you with a reddish pink bump as a reward for not killing them.

But ANTS!...... If you don't know they're there.... fine....... But ONCE you SEE them, you just somehow get that paranoid feeling that they're crawling all over you! You feel them on your arms, your legs, behind your ears, your hair and everywhere. And the worst thing about them is.... you wonder whether you should attempt to annihilate them all..... because once you disturb their business, they scatter and RUN all over your friggin room.


So it's 3 am and I was about to sleep long ago..... but these little creatures just don't give up in keeping me awake..... they've been shopping around my table like it was the Pavillion all day. They attempt the impossible ------ crossing water ------- to reach my honey that I put suspended in the middle of a tub of water. They nearly started a NEST in one of my jacket pockets..... and now I feel like they're all over me...... I have to look down my legs and lift my hands just to see whether that tingling feeling I just felt was an ant or just my paranoia.


Maybe it's time to get some ant poison...

Free week doesn't sound so free afterall

Just after coming down from my flight at Terminal 2 a few days back, I suddenly came to the realisation why I couldn't afford to just CANCEL my whole trip back to KK and stay in Miri instead.

And that is because........










I have an EXAM!




And what exam was that?? An INSURANCE exam.

Sounds shocking? I thought so too...... but I couldn't just skip it and stay in miri or fail the exam...... coz it already cost my mom a friggin RM300 just to register for the test.


So for the past few days, I've been busy studying for my exam, coming this Saturday. It's not that I wanna sell insurance, or work in the insurance industry of course, but I had to do it for my mom.... since for most of you who know, my mom's a West Malaysian, and the oh-so-kind-sabahan-government now requires all Insurance Agents to have a Trading license in order to sell insurance........ being a W. M'sian herself, it would be hard for her to get a license, and so......


she sent ME!.....

You know what..... commerce subjects turned out to be harder than I thought..... and the fact that it's INSURANCE doesn't seem to make things any easier..... and not to mention that my homework suddenly turned from a stack to a pile just by receiving an SMS from my coursemate forwarding my lecturer's instructions....

Btw, they say that if you can sell Insurance, you can sell Anything.... I wonder whether that's true but.....

I know that you'll never be the best sales person until you can sell a Comb to a Monk.

At the same time, I'd like to introduce everyone reading this blog to ANOTHER blog of mine..... which will be my "Mobile Blog"........ which I'll update using my mobile phone.

I just came to realise that I have a camera phone, and full GPRS and MMS functionality, but have never used those functions.... so I just thought that I'll update some posts using my mobile once in a while instead...... for those moments when I don't have my DSLR with me ^^

I'm not sure how long I'll sustain that blog, since it should costs me RM0.50 per post, haha, and I already have THIS blog to take care of.

But anyhow..... introducting http://mobilebird.blogspot.com/

Take it or Leave it

When was the last time you faced a hard-to-make decision and you literally didn't know which to choose?


Yesterday Afternoon, I was at the Miri International Airport, with another 2 friends, checking in for my flight back to KK, and just as I put my baggage onto the check-in counter's conveyor belt, the guy at the counter told me that he couldn't find my booking and asked for my booking number. I was like "Great..." and had to tell him I couldn't remember it.



He had me walk over to the AirAsia counter to double check my booking.......... and so I did.... only to have me find out.... That I was supposed to be on the MORNING flight!! Simply said, I'd missed my flight.

And as you all know of the cheap-skate AirAsia, you CAN NOT reschedule your flight, you CAN NOT pay a penalty to change your booking time, and you'll NEVER ACTUALLY get a FREE flight from AirAsia (even if they say FREE tickets.... you definitely have to pay something).

Then what made AirAsia even more sucky was the fact that the more you wait, the more you pay. And being in the current situation, which was both lucky AND unlucky, I COULD still buy a ticket back to KK for that very same flight...... but I only had 5 minutes to decide...... and it'll cost me a whopping RM221.50 ! ! !


I was stuck....


4 minutes left to decide..... with only RM250 which was actually for my April's room Rental.... My mind raced as fast as it could.... I didn't know whether I should take the ticket, or get another day's ticket.... or just stay in Miri. But then after checking with the counter, I came to the realisation that even if I booked my flight for one of the next few days, the price would only be like, RM200, RM180, RM150....

After 2 minutes of discussion with my furious mom, and a frantic exchange of conversation between me, my mom, the booking counter, and my friends, I quickly came to the conclusion that the ticket was Take it or Leave it.... RM221.50 or Stay in Miri, so to say.

With that being said..... I finally opted for taking the ticket, paid RM221.50 in cash, and rushed to check in my luggage....



I knew that I couldn't actually afford spending money like this.... and that I could've just stayed in Miri for a change..... but I guess that for my mom's sake, for KK's sake...... I just had to postpone my plans on getting a new Lens for my camera and a new phone...... to a later time frame, haha.


In the old times when we made mistakes, we paid with a punishment;
This time when we make mistakes, we pay with RM200;
The Next time we make mistakes, we pay with our job;
And the Last time we make a mistake..... we pay with our lives.


Nothing else to say.
