April Fool’s Joke (I know.. 2 months late)

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

So… I’m two months late with a story.. But I tell you, this year’s April Fool joke is the worst/best!! The rise & fall of of my life.. The story of my life, the last 2 months :)

Things went downhill when I was suppose to start working in my new place on April 1, but they called me to tell me that I can only come in mid May, and just a week before that, I broke up with my ex. First thing I thought, "Is this a freaking April Fool’s joke??!!", "wtf am I gonna do for 1 & half months??", "where the hell am I gonna get cash to survive on?" "I’m so alone!!!" *boo hoo**sob sob* Considering the fact that I had March’s salary coming in, it wasn’t actually so bad, till the bank decided to deduct almost all that was left of it (after paying for my car loan, rent, etc) to pay for my credit card.. I swear, I’m gonna cut all my credit cards away, am only going to rely on cash!! Easier said than done.. So now I’m broke, with only RM10 in my wallet :(

That was the downest (if there’s such a word) moment of my life.. a friend perked me up saying "well, now the only place u can go is UP!". And UP I went.

Started working in Bar Flams for a month, hooked up with one of the regulars, which initially started off as a fling ;) but now we’re quite serious. And now I’m back in the office, where I belong :) :)

So u see, the 1&half months of break wasn’t so bad after all, I had the worst & the best time of my life.. One I will definitely remember forever..

Perhaps the April Fool’s joke was a blessing in disguise…

I’m definitely a late bloomer to go watch this particular movie. Most of my friends have already watch it, and are rambling about it, till I say "STOP!! Don’t spoil it for me!" and the table has an awkward silence as they stare at this alien who just landed on earth..

Well, I finally managed to catch it last Sunday with a good friend. Funny, as I managed to get the tickets online, when many of my friends said they had to line up for hours for it. Maybe it’s well worth being a late bloomer this time, hehe :)

Looking at the translations for Star Wars Epi 3 : Revenge of the Sith, makes me wonder what these people actually do, and I hear that they earn quite a lot. Can I have their JOB?? It’s so easy just sitting there and translating nonsense, no worries bout seplilngs or garmemr. See what I mean, you would still understand what the hell I’m saying. So I’ll definitely jump at the job of a MOVIE translator if one ever comes around ;)

Anyways, I would say out of 5, I’ll give the movie a 4, for the action and Post editing. They lost the 1 for acting, sadly I wasn’t moved by their acting skills. Although I must say, Hayden is looking ‘evilly’ handsome ;) muahahahaha!!! Thumbs up for evil looks!

Lesson of the day:

  • Don’t bother reading the subtitles unless you’re in for laughs and kicks
  • Don’t bother getting tickets too early if its such a great box office movie, cause later on you don’t have to line up for them AND cause you’re gonna hear it from your friends anyways :(

end of may

Monday, May 30th, 2005

So… today is the end of may, the last day of the month can mean 2 things:

  1. Salary’s in, can go SHOPPING…
  2. It’s someone’s last day somewhere (I mean in a company lah..)

During WIP (it means "work-in-progress") this morning, 2 of my colleagues said their goodbyes, not that we didn’t know they are leaving, we had their farewells yesterday and last week… Funnily enough, if I’m not mistaken, I think they are husband & wife.. coincidence? Probrably..

I had my last day of work as well, March 31.. That was the day I left Astana International S/B.. what’s funny though is that it didn’t end up being my last day, they asked me to stay another day, and come in on April 1, yes I know, April Fool’s day, an april fools joke? nopes.. I came in and worked my ass off on the last day till I forgot to write my farewell message to the lovable colleagues of mine in Astana.. It was meetings after meetings, and of course the bloody paper work for the ‘after meetings’, and before I knew it, it was bloody 9pm.. shitz! So I missed saying goodbye to everyone (although I already had my farewell dinner, sweet :)) I missed dinner with my parents, and most of all, I missed playing any pranks on my colleagues!!

Well, last days of the months’ means 1 thing for me now.. ka ching $$ Where should I go today? Oh wait.. I just paid my rent and my car loan :( so there goes my dreams of getting this new pair of boots… sexy ;)
