CBM - 10 years reunion for Class 5C 1998 - PICS!!!

sorry for the late upload for pics.. but infact they're already on FB.. just didn't have the mood to blog... anyway.... here's the link to the photo album in FB
we all met at Seoul Garden in AutoCity... waited abit for somemore girls to come and in the end 12 turned up!! so since we skipped lunch, we started eating away!! hahahah... it was a new experience for me as this is my first time there (though i've been to bbq steamboat elsewhere in penang)....
we had loads of catching up, chatting, laughing!! and all i can say, its great to see that we still have out F5-ness in us!! never change la wei!!! hahahha... oh, and thanks to u for translating for me.. *paiseh*




everyone that came! thanks girls for making it :)


then after dinner, we wanted to hang somemore and thought of starbucks... but, they didn't have enought place for us.... in the end, we ended up in an empty Sega Fredo's... i don't know whay that place is sooo quiet, usually that place is happening...


there, some of us had drinks, some of us had coffee.... and MORE talking and cam whoring!! hahahha


at bout 11.30pm-ish it was time for us to head home, some of us had work the next day, some had hubbies to go home to, some had babies to go home to, one was pregnant... and the others were just too tired from being out the whole day from work till dinner....


tata for now, and i hope to see u girls this sat at the main YEAR 1998 reunion!! keep in touch ya!

i feel u man.. i really do...

i soo agree with this blogger...
“That’s fine, I won’t ask you then. The fact is I almost never ask anyone to cover my shift and I usually only cover for other people if its an emergency. I plan my life around the fact that I have a work schedule, unlike you. Its not my responsibility to let you go home because you drank too much last night, and the fact is that I’m only being a dick because you two didn’t let it go. No one wanted the day off until it was convenient for them, now its not convenient for me. If you asked me to work and I said no and you said ok, there wouldn’t be a problem. But, you had to whine to management and to anyone that would listen that I’m not a team player and you had to question why I wouldn’t work for you. Frankly I could have no plans but to sit on my couch and play video games and I still wouldn’t have to give you a reason. Now that’s the end of it.”
i like it when he said this... "... I plan my life around the fact that I have a work schedule..." taken from The Insane Waiter from here

how's it like working my shift...

hmm....
as most of u know bout my shift/working hours... i'll explain it here again... we call it the Compressed Shift of 4334 (or u can call it 3443)
here's how it is..
there's 2 groups - we call it group A and group B
lets say for group A
Week 1 - work 4 days, off 3 days
Week 2 - work 3 days, off 4 days
Week3 - work 4 days, off 3 days.. and so on...
so the days that group A is off, that's when group B works... kapish? hope so.. hahahah
currently i'm in group A (Sun, Mon, Tue and alternate Wed)... and in Jan 09, i'll change to group B (alternate Wed then Thurs, Fri, Sat)... am not so keen on group B cause usually ppl will ajak go out on fri, sat....sigh.. but its ok, dad's making noise on why i'm always working on Sunday... (Sabbah day it seems - day of rest!)
how's it like anyway... well... for one, there's nothing much i can do on my work days... after work, go home, eat if there's dinner and watch tv till eyes cannot open... or online till eyes cannot open (even so, i don't know why i don't have the mood to blog.. sorry guys)
during our 12 hr shift, we have 1hr lunch (not that anyone keeps to that 1hr - they self acclaim 1.5 hrs - but not me. if i can make it in 1hr why not them??) and we have 1hr dinner (the same about what i said bout lunch - ppl like taking 1.5 hrs..but that's another rant to blog about). and it's between 9am to 9pm.. traffic going to work.. bareable.. but could be better, traffic going home, nice! but then sometimes the bridge will close one lane and there'll be a minor jam...
now, on my off days.... half the time, i got to come back to work to replace someone and gain some OT... which is... TIRING!! but i'm that type of person, job first! (until i'm too tired).. unlike some ppl....
ok so on my off days, as what i did once, i went to Pulau Perhentian... no need to take AL!! yeah!! and other days, i sleep till 12+ pm, sometimes i do some "official" errands to places that only open 9-5 mon-fri, sometimes i pamper myself at a mall.... other days, i stay home... i had a record of 3 of my off days, i stayed home and did not go out at all!! yup, guess how much money and petrol i saved?? but on the 3rd day, i was getting restless!!
so that's it... yea... dad asked me to go exercise...
1- i'm still in debt and can't afford another 12 months installment on gym fees - dun ask y
2- i dun feel safe walking up Cherok Tokun
3- can't remember where Mengkuan Dam is
4- paiseh to jog/walk in my taman - lots of "foreigners"
5- no motivation.. i'm kinda in a depression phase, remember...
unless, someone can DRAG me out to exercise, maybe i will... but with my shift, who la will be free on a weekday? by the time everyone finishes work, it'll be 6+ something, and it's gonna be dinner time liau.. where wanna go exercise? and even if they do, they'll do it on a weekend, where i'm WORKING... so... clashing of the times...
(and i try not to stay out too late, eating or partying on a sat nite cause i work on sundays)
i'm much of a loner now.... on my off days, if i had a book, i'll go to my fav mall, have a meal/drink and sit there reading a book for an hr or two, or go watch a movie alone (afternoon movies are cheaper), window shopping alone.... oh well, i'm getting used to it, but it'll be nice if i could have some company sometimes...
so that's my life right now... :s
sad? sometimes... but sometimes not really too! :)

awkward.....

how do u react when u're walking down a coridoor at work.... and at the far end, you spot someone u briefly know (hi bye type of aquaintance)...
a) do u start smiling the time u spot them
b) wait till you're closer then smile... if yes, how many steps away from that person do u start smiling....
c) when the person smiles back at you and u still have 5 steps left... do u look down at the ground? or ...?

writers block

yea, many a times i've came here to try to post something, but, i couldn't... i didn't know what to write.... i don't know what's gotten into me, but i know i used to love writing, writing for myself and yet that doesn't do it for me now....
anyway, what i've been up to?
getting used to my time table, think i'm going back to my old habits in sleeping really late at nite.. can't believe i used to get up at 5am to go to work by 6am... now, i'm starting to sleep past 1am... and dreading to get up to go to work....
work's fine, i need to get my "flow" soon though, its different now cause i'm not an agent anymore, i'm just one step higher which means i can't work like how i used to work before... got to change...
talking bout "change"... so Obama won.... that's gonna be interesting! can't really comment much as i have not really been following, but it would be nice if Hilary was president! 1st woman president! that would definately bruise all the guys ego! LOL... ok better stop before anyone arrests me...
if u guys are on FB, i'm sure u've seen a few of my "down-side" status... i guess it could be PMS or just being in that "phase" where u think about your life... i don't see anything quite positive but then again, i just pray that it's just a phase! i need to get a grip of myself! grrhhh!
i'm starting to download series again but connections sucky! went to batu feringghi to get the dvds but they were not selling any - waste of time and petrol going there... sigh... anyone has One Tree Hill series season 4 and 5?
been starting to follow tv again... and it's getting worst... u can't enjoy a show with 10 minutes of advertisement every 3 mins in the show!!! instead of watching your show, u're watching ads where they repeat themselves over and over and over again.... wonder why no one is complaining about this! tv shouldn't be irritating but unfortunately - tv3, ntv7, 8tv are all so irritating because of overwhelming ads! (no, i don't have astro)
oh, i've signed up for something, but i just wanna see if there's any difference... so to my good friends, tell me if u noticed anything "better" (or not better) about me...
i wish to go back to Stop Island again....
and i wonder why i haven't seen TC for some time... :(
alright then, i guess that's about the updates that i have...
