Can't You Do Anything Right?!!

Urgh. Fine. You don't have to nag, you know. =P

***

I saw the way the talked about you. The look on their faces. They were so gosh darned proud of you. Can you blame me for wanting the same?

I don't like feeling like the underperformer at work. Not one bit. I'm used to being the Average Joe, the Invisible One (not that that's something to be proud of), but never the underperformer. But now it's like little I do seems to help me improve.

I try to tell myself that everyone else is graduated and beyond and that's a huge difference, but is it really? Everyone's bustling about while all I can do is try to look for stuff to do and avoid feeling like I'm zjor dteng-ing.

I try to take on more tasks but I kancheong easily and when I'm kancheong I tend to screw up, leaving the others to clean up my mess for me.

I. DON'T. LIKE. IT.

I don't like feeling helpless and useless.

I don't like having to be rescued or babysitted all the time. (I'm quite sure my rescuers don't like it more) I'd like to say I don't need help but what's closer to the truth is that I almost ALWAYS need help. GRR.

I'm such an idiot. Will I ever, ever catch up? :S

The Boss was on NTV7 this morning with Daphne Pretty-Lady! (what's her name... Viking? Icing?) Ain't it cool. 8-)

Ooh and there was a photoshoot in our shop and they lit up the place so bright - with those ridiculous spotlights that make everything look like they've been bleached. Those poor models. They must be legally blind by the 5th shoot.

Modelling is funnay! And I kicked into the guy's tripod. Heh. Heh. May sei gor. :P

100th Post!

See. Evidence I'm not a lazy blogger. Heh.

I am! I am! I admit it. My lappie's not been used for 3 weeks. I must be whipped and chained by my ankles.

So here are some updates for you to snooze on:


1.) AJ divorced me and ran away with a koala.


2.) Dad says he'll take us somewhere end of this year (like, FINALLY!) I'm thinking China. Suggestions, anyone?


3.) Gramps left us.

Boss: Are you okay? You look like you cried a lot.
Me: Yeah well, everybody cried a lot.
Boss: Yeah. It's normal. Well don't feel bad. He's in a better place now.
Me: Oh no, he's Taoist, so he goes to hell.
Boss: ...

Well I'm still not quite sure how the Taoist afterlife policy works, but yeah. We'll miss him. Gramma will feel it the most, I think. She made me promise I'd visit every week but that'll mean I'll have to put up with a certain someone in the same house for a couple of hours every week. Argh. For Gramma. *soldiers on*


4.) Barely 3 weeks into my job, I have been banned from answering company e-mails. Due to some dumbarsery on my part: holding our company responsible for a screw-up we didn't make. I am no longer speaking to JB-ians with bad "England" who try to zjaa me with "why u so confidents?" and accuse me of "no tell true." *roll eyes*


5.) I spent an entire hour speaking a constipated mash of Cantonese/Mandarin/Hakka/English/BM scheisse to a 45-year-old ex-Uncle Ho (whose name, incidentally, happens to be Uncle Ho) bus driver I had to sit next to on the bus to KL. (no more seats; running late for work) And he tried to get my number and pick me up for lunch. *smacks forehead*

Psh! Please. How can you even imagine that you stand a chance? I'm so cool and you're not. *flips hair*


6.) Yet another little girl called me "Auntie." Sponsor my Botox treatments, anyone?


7.) Angmohs swear I'm from Angmohland. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

I knew my racist impersonations would come in handy one day. *grins*


8.) I have scheduled a PDRM between Jean-Pierre and Alana-Marie for August 3rd. HOPEFULLY that poor, sweet, sexily mustached Frenchman will not be ditched. Speaking of DITCH...




PS: I swear, I'll turn Larry on one day and do a real, non-pointform post. One day lah. Hee. :D

Pemalas-Style Blogging.

Arghhh.

So many things to blog about, so little time.

So we shall just go ahead with that lazy point-form-style blogging that seems to be so in vogue nowadays. :P


1. Went out with my Persatuan Hakka-Hakka ATC. +1 Hokkien lang.

Visited Skybridge, wasn't that amazingly high up. He (guide) said 44 floors or something. But when he said the damn bridge isn't really connected to either of the towers, and that there was a ten-inch gap on each side to allow for expansion, well... *gulp* Then he had to say, "You know what, it sways a little when the wind blows..."

Say... whut? 0.0

"...but not to worry, as winds in Malaysia only reach up to about 156 km/h (this quote may/may not be accurate) so you will hardly feel the sway."

Me: (to Sylvea) Alright. Let's go home now.

Lotsa pix here. I won't load mine here because, well, I took crap pictures. Lol.

We went to Kino and I had no idea they had a Chinese language section! *frog under coconut shell* They're so cool they have these fun little craft books the instructions of which I don't understand a word... Haha who am I kidding I can't even read the names of the sections in which to find Jimmy Liao's picture books.

...but I did!! Eventually. Hah! Eat that! (after running round and round a little section for half an hour you're bound to find something) And. They have A Chance of Sunshine. Hardcover. Paperback. CREATIVE EDITION. Muthafuckas. Why does the fukin website search bar only cover Jap books and English books?! Muthafuckas. To be fair, I didn't call up and ask. Huhu. =X


2. Went to AJ's farewell gig.

Saw Irene, Cammie, Padma, Hueyshin, Mui Kim, Cheokie, Evonne, Kahlian and a whole buncha other people unfamiliar to me. Because it was a double farewell which included some dude named Eric and his pals.

Drank real vodka for once and didn't get hung over!! I am talented. :D

Although I remember for an hour or so I felt 100 IQ points stupider and slower to respond to what people were saying... Like I remember Cheok recommending some uni's for Business but I don't remember what exactly. Hee. I just hope I didn't drool all over the place and take off my pants and sing "Phantom of the Opera."

Oh. And we threw AJ into the pool. :D

I want pictures of that shit. Pretty please. =)

They threw Mui Kim and some other dude in as well, who came out swearing something about his phone being in his pants pocket. Whoops. Funny as hell though. Hahah.

But truth be told, I felt a little bad after that (NOT!) so I gave AJ a big big hug and shared the chlorine. actually it was a cheap attempt at an apology I just hope when it comes to my farewell they won't toss me into a pool hahah


3. Another work chronicle. :)

Crazy ass day. So many people walked in I couldn't even think straight. (WE ALREADY HIT $1000+ WHEN I LEFT BABY YEAH WHO DA MAN?!!)

Oh and when I was having trouble with a Chinese customer (I told a few I was Malay hahahahah) our new guy (no-bluff Malay) came to my rescue speaking fluent Cantonese.

Didn't see that coming. 0.0

I was too embarrassed to continue standing there so I retreated to behind the counter. Hahah. *red*

Even told Momma the story.

Momma: Ahh, padan mukalah, "I'm not Chinese I'm not Chinese" summore lah.
Me: But it's not fair loh, his grandma is Chinese okay.
Momma: ...And what are we?

I fear the effects of the vodka may be permanent.

Oh and I met the famed Soopah Salesman today. And saw him in action. Phwoar. RESPECT. *bows*

Oh and our Boss gives us all nicknames, and apparently mine is "Sparkling Woman."

-.-"

She's been talking to Sue Peng, hasn't she.

I tell you people, cleanliness is not a bad thing!! A(H1N1) baru lu tau. *sanitize*

Ooh! Our shop came out in an article in 12th July's Sin Chew Jit Poh. Yay!! *patriot dance*

***

According to the face-reading article in Sunday's Star I am very hamsap like Brad Pitt. WTF.

Oh My Johnny.

Johnny Depp's John H. Dillinger is HOT SHIT.

I've never agreed with the rest of the world about Depp being savagely sexyfine in every role he plays, (Edward Scissorhands? Captain Jack Sparrow? Willy Wonka? Sweeney Todd?) but his version of Dillinger is just so *licks lips*

Something about him not being particularly good-looking, (I don't think he's lengzai lor!) or having a symmetrical moustache or a remotely flattering haircut, but being able to come across as dashing, dangerous and simply arresting just makes Dillinger irresistable as heck.

And when that's mixed with cheeky humour (singing to a hostage, that quip about his "friend" Prince Albert... LOL) and a smouldering gaze that tells you this man ain't taking no for an answer, you really can't fight the shaggability of it all.

I'm highly adverse to the thought of over-confident smooth-talkers, but everything about the way Depp plays Dillinger just completely draws you in.

Yep, Depp's John Dillinger definitely gives bad boys (and bank robbers) a good name. :)

Christian Bale may be more good-looking than any man by far in a suit, but in Public Enemies I feel he is little more than a calefare (BECAUSE HE IS AN ASSHOLE WHO SWEARS LIKE A RAVING LUNATIC AT RANDOM PEOPLE AND BEATS UP HIS MOTHER - OH NO SUE PENG DON'T GO ABOUT SAYING HOW ASSAULT IS DIFFERENT FROM BATTERY I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT THE MAN BEATS UP HIS MOTHER I TELL YOU - AND THAT'S WHY NOBODY WANTS TO WORK WITH HIM).

I repeat.

Johnny Depp's John Dillinger is HOT SHIT.

With a gun. And Prince Albert. XD

WATCH THIS SHIT.

Oh. And those who think that our G-men in the atas positions of this country are about to turn the young minds of our nation into Swiss cheese by reverting the teaching of Science and Math to Bahasa, or otherwise, may voice their opinions on Uncle Mahathir's blog here.

It's soooo stupid. We are not stupid lor, okay. Kids can learn ANYTHING. And just who the fark speaks BM aside from our itty bitty minority of South-East Asians? I'm not saying we shouldn't be proud of it or that it isn't pretty enough to be worth preserving; it's just that you're gonna make the keeds feel really stupid when they get to their tertiary education. Why lah you wanna torture them. *shakes head*

Acute angle = Sudut comel??

Becoming My Own Hero - A Work In Progress

I've been considered so very lucky and blessed thus far.

To have met so many amazing, inspirational people.

To have so many people believe in me, even if I don't.

To have people see something in me that even I can't see. (Yet. :))

To have wonderful individuals deeply interested in helping me become more than I am right now.

In the past I may not have realized this. I can only hope that it isn't too late to start proving that faith will not be wasted on me.

But there is something that I need to find.

...But where is it?

Working Retail

...can be hazardous to your self-esteem.

Observe.


Little twitgirl: *slaps my arm* AUNTIEEE!!! This cake real or not hah??


But then again she was about 5. Will it make me feel better if I blame it on limited vocabulary?

No.

Now if you'll excuse me, "Auntie" needs to stock up on the SK-II.

TELL ME I'M PRETTY!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

It looks terrible. Noah Ringer may be a karate kid and all, but he looks really clumsy in the vid. But maybe my crazy-fan expectations are too high. On the good side it looks like Shyamalan hasn't completely cheapened-out the effects, like he did with The Happening (a giant fan and some trees?? Come on.)

Watch The Last Airbender teaser trailer!

I haven't seen what the other characters look like yet, but I found Aang and Zuko:


OMFG WHY IS IT A SHAOLIN OUTFIT WHERE THE EFF IS AANG'S AIRBENDER MONK GETUP WHY CAN'T I SEE THE TATTOOS IS THIS THE KID WE'RE GONNA SEE MAKE OUT WITH KATARA EWW OMG THAT'D BE CHILD PORN THAT'S EVEN MORE DISGUSTING THAN KATAANG ORIGINALLY IS EWW OMG EWW


And they murdered Zuko.

OMFG WHERE IS HIS FUNNY TOPKNOT FROM THE FIRST SEASON WE MUST HAVE THE TOPKNOT MEAN ZUKO FROM SEASON ONE IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE TOPKNOT AND WHICH PART OF HIS LEFT EYE IS BURNTED AND DEFORMED I DON'T SEE SHIT AND WHY DOESN'T HE LOOK MEAN ENOUGH AND WHY ARE THE FIRENATION SOLDIERS IN LOTR HELMETS WTF MAN

No, not even the flames can save him.

Don't get me wrong, I love Dev Patel and his puppydog eyes from Slumdog, but he'd be so much better off as Sokka! Sweet and goofy is so good on him! And Sokka is dark. And Zuko looks like he hasn't seen the sun since he was born. Wouldn't it make slightly more sense if Patel switched with Rathbone?!?! OHMYGAWD HAS SHYAMALAN EVEN WATCHED THE FRICKEN SERIES WHY CAN'T HE PRESERVE THE ORIGINALITY OF THE FLAWLESS WORK OF BRYKE WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE AND FOAM AT THE MOUTH FOR HE CLEARLY DOESN'T DESERVE TO DIRECT SUCH AWESOMENESS AND IS HE RACIST OR SOMETHING WOULD IT KILL HIM TO THROW SOME YELLOW PEOPLE INTO THE MIX IT'S NOT LIKE WE DON'T HAVE GREAT YELLOW ACTORS YOU KNOW AND FUTHERMORE...!


Shyamalan: Nah. *hands over the script* You so smart; YOU do lah.


Hee. =X
