Timeslot fillers

So you happened to be working in Damansara Heights and you have some time for lunch. Only then did you think of us.

What are we, your timeslot fillers ?

And when I wanted to go home early, you decided to give me that tone.

I kept thinking about how you acted in Perth and Chinese New Year.

Sheesh. What a 'nice' ****** you have been !

I'm so sick with your insensitive actions.

Road Rage

I didn't realize it till today. Somehow, I've been cursing like crazy each time I drive.
(I know I curse la, but I thought it was only occasionally)

I've become less tolerant, I don't give way and I intentionally drive faster to block those irritating drivers from cutting into my way. For instance, those who cuts into your lane when others are lining up at the traffic light.

I even slam on the horn, instead of pressing it. Sometimes, I'd intentionally honk a few more times, just to show my irritation and anger.

Where is my courtesy ?


I used to hate those that curse unnecessarily, but nowadays, the word 'F*ck' seemed to be coming out of my mouth very often.

And why have I become so impatient ?

I must change, starting from tomorrow.



*** On an unrelated note, Zin Mun's mother said that my hair looks nice today. So happy.

放飞机

对不起, 我放飞机了.

当时候, 要选择的是 between 一个将要离开的朋友与一个伤心到极点的朋友.

所以逼不得已放飞机了.

看见了你为我签的支票.

非常开心有我的名字的存在, 代表了我是这group的一份子.

A Hole in the Page

'Do you remember making a mistake in a page and you started rubbing it until there was a hole in the page ? Then you decided to tear that page off and start all over again. Now, what does that reminds you of ?'

My STPM.

That was Dad's answer to my question.

Enough said.

A Cuppa coffee

So today I had to meet up with my prospective employer at Great Eastern Mall.

Drove there, called him and was told to meet at Starbucks. Instantly, I thought to myself: 'Aiya another RM 10++ drying off my wallet.'

Just as I approached the counter, I saw someone familiar. Forgotten her name, but fortunately, she was wearing her name tag.


' Asi ! Do you remember me ? Angela from Starbucks Menara Standard Chartered. '


Just that, and I got myself a free Caramel Macchiato. Not cheap you know.


... I've always been not much of a social person. But now I realise that I should.
You'll never know how one day, an acquaintance from the past might be of much help to you.



About the job, I got it. So now I've gotta to work every weekend starting from 1st of March. I'm on a 6 months contract, which I think I've rushed accepting it.

I'm worried about my assignments, about studying and about my future internship. From June - August, I would most probably be doing internship with some company that'd require me to work Mon - Fri. And with this job, I'd be working everyday without any rest.

... And no time for the B*tch Clan too.

败给你

Love this music video.

罗志祥 looks so cute and 萧亚轩 looks ever so hot.

The Moment

The moment she fell into her arms and hugged her, I felt like we could be friends forever.

I felt like these are the people I could turn to no matter what happens. They need only be there, without saying a single word, and I'd feel much better.

... and it all ended with a group hug.


On an unrelated note, went to the saloon today to wash my hair. My gosh, it was so comfortable. Felt like the weight of the world has just been lifted off my shoulders. And the massage, oh ... felt like I was in paradise.

Sometimes we forget

This post came after I read what he wrote. The things he remembered. It was the most touching post I've ever read and he made me feel, even more guilty.

I received a sms from you, 'Haven't gotten enough of ang paw money in this CNY ? Wanna get more ? Well you are invited 2 come to my house this Sunday n the 'choy san' might give you a 'thick' red packet.'

Truthfully, the moment I received the sms, first thing that came into my mind was ' Aiya, lazy to go lah'. Nevertheless, knowing I wouldn't be able to see you for some time, I said I'd be joining. And I'm glad I did.

The things we talked about made me realise so many things. What a considerate friend you have always been and what a lousy one I've become. The magnitude of your care and concern really drove me to shame.

No doubt I've been busy maintaining my new-found friendship, that I've forgotten you. I didn't realize that I've ignored you unintentionally, giving you care and concerns that did not came out that heartedly, as compared to the people I call the Clan.

I saw the hurt in your eyes, the disappointment you felt, although I know I'm not the only one causing it.


I remember what you did for me.
Remember the karaoke session we had ? Only the three of us when he left ?

... I remember calling you at wee hours when I was so sad I couldn't bear it. I woke you up and asked you to come online, as I've always been nervous on the phone.
You did it and kept what we said a secret.

I'm sorry I've forgotten.

...

After we fought, I kept thinking about how we became the clan.

... The nuggets you offered which I turned down.

The class party that got the three of us talking.
The fair we went to the next day.
I remember wondering whether I'd be invited to the lunch we went.


The awkward moments at the gym.
The post-it-note you left along with the moral studies lecture notes.
The countless chatting sessions the bitches had, bitching only about the 'chocolate' ...

How come I only remember these things after something has happened ?

Thank you for reminding me, Lye Quan.

A call !

They've actually just called me. Saying I've got the job. Again I asked for the name of the company. And what they said ? That 'majikan akan call kamu'. What lah ? Since you have been in contact with them, wouldn't you know the name ? Please lah, I am not taking that risk.

It's a Scam !

Most probably, that is.

What happened is, me & a friend of mine decided to go on a part-time job-hunting spree. Today, we went for the interview at Wisma Cosway. According to the advert we saw on the newspaper, they were ready to pay RM 400 per assignment. Take-home data entry assignment.

Sounds good, huh ?

Anyway, so we entered the office. Kinda shabby, not much people around.

We did the routine stuff: fill up the application form and await for our interview. We waited in a room. The two of us.

A couple of minutes later, a Malay lady came in. She spoke fluent Bahasa Melayu, but little English. From the way she spoke, I could see that she was rather nervous. It also seemed like she was memorizing from a script.

Her flow was unnaturally smooth, and the words used were not the normal words we would used in conversations. It was rather formal, like those we would read on some advertisement campaign.

She keeps stressing 'our company has been establish for 4 years already, and so far we have encountered no problem'. Each time she actually used the same EXACT words.

So then she explained about the wages. Pretty lucrative, you know.

There are two kinds of assignment we could accept. One from the construction industry and the other from the travel agency industry. The construction one would pay RM 9 per page. And each assignment is 100 pages, with a duration of 2 weeks to complete it. Means I'd be getting RM 900 per assignment. She said these companies are located in: Wisma Genting, Wisma UOA, Menara PGRM... Making it seem so real and true.

Then came the tricky part. She said we had to pay RM 163 for some cost pentadbiran lah. Said that it would be a one-time only payment.

So I asked her, do I have to pay right-away or after I receive payment from my work. She answered my question 'in a circle'. In the end, I didn't really know what she meant.

Smart move it may seem. But she didn't know who she was dealing with. It's Angela la, c'mon man. I've been trained to persuade clients, to memorize scripts and to handle objections. Try to cheat me of my RM 163 ? Please lah. (Sau pei)

Anyways, we played along with her, saying we are just students and that we don't have so much money. We asked whether we could pay after we have received the payment. She said we could share, but still insisting that we have gotta pay now. So I asked her whether I could know the name of the company. Again she tried to avoid my question.

In the end, we said we had to consider about it and left.

Next, we went to some job agency located at the same building. My friend has dealt with them before and wanted to ask about vacancies currently available. As we talked, we mentioned the company we just visited. Straightaway the lady told us it's a scam.

So guys, beware when seeking for part-time jobs. Stay alert !

The Family that was Almost Never

Reunion dinner with the Wongs & Chongs.

For years a silent enmity existed between Mum and her sister dearest. So I have not met my maternal family till only a few years back when my granny past away.

Funny what it took to bring them back together again.

Anyway, happy with what's progressing and hope it gets better. Currently, still a little awkward in their presence. Had to act polite and appear to possess supreme table manners. (Embarassed to order my second bowl of rice)

Chinese New Year was alright. Enjoyed receiving Ang Paus. Atmosphere was not as merry as it had been years ago. Gambling and chatting session did went on as hoped. Two mishaps happened to my Godfather. His car and office got broken into on reunion dinner's night. No worries, only a SmartTag got stolen. Nothing was taken from the office as my cousin happened to be in the office when those thieves attempted a break-in.

How was your Chinese New Year ? Hope it had been a merry one !

What matters

As long as I'm happy,

That's all that matters, ain't it ?

New Semester

My third and last year of undergraduate studies will officially begin today.

I should be sleeping right now.

But I can't sleep. I tried for hours.

Perhaps the excitement ? It was the Iced Nescafe actually.

May this year be different and worth remembering.

Time of the Year

It's Chinese New Year again.

In the Lim clan, it's the merriest celebration of the year along with Christmas. I always look forward to this celebration, as it meant lots of ang paus, yummylicious cuisines and time for my family.

Yet recent years this festive season has become a burden to me, as with every festive seasons. It's the time of the year where I'm torn between two families. Of course, I'd personally prefer to join my dad's family, as this has always been the custom, plus I'm not really close to the other side of the family.

However, this meant reunion dinners and Chinese New Years without her daughters for my mother. Such is the dilemma I face every year.

With the passing of my grandmother, the Chinese New Years with the Lim Clan has become much quieter. The adults don't seem to sit together to gamble and talk anymore. Last year, after 拜年 (visiting), we just went our separate ways.

I hope this year would be much better.

Happy Chinese New Year folks !
