Waiting game

*** My father's 40-day tahlil is this weekend at 4. You are invited. ***

So I've submitted all my applications, something I could have done months ago if UBD wasn't such a slug of a uni. My mom could now stop nagging on this issue. I still feel bad that my ex-classmates are starting jobs left, right and center. NEET life isn't enjoyable if you're still grieving from a death in the family, too. So it's gonna be some wait, perhaps some disappointment but I'll try to be positive.

Thanks to Hadini for reviving Metrostars FC, it was probably the only good way we the ex-PJN guys could still keep in touch with each other. It's time for the girls to revive Saliva Drinkers then! Anyone has Dk. Nadeeya's contact? Anyway, somebody needs to scan the 9th Nov ex-PJN photo we took. Though it wasn't exactly a class photo as there were only 9 people in it...

I'm finding it fun to drive up to Bandar (though not if I'm on a bad mood of course, as last Thursday showed). At this rate I'll probably be broke by the end of the year... but maybe not.

Just made my Facebook account, please add me if I haven't.

Party nights

So later we're gonna have the CS Night at FOS (cost-cutting measure?) themed "Light Up Your Future". Because of this we're asked to bring lots of candles wtf? And I want my future lit by something symbolic... computer LCD screens? I was gonna write strobe lights but I'm never a clubbing guy.

There's total confusion on whether we're gonna have a photoshoot with the lecturers wearing our gowns. I bet you someone will forget theirs. What's a barbeque with you wearing tightass graduation gowns?

So, I finally got my Gala Night ticket from sis on Monday, two days after the closing date, and I noted my number was 0053. What the heck. There was like, only 50 people going for an event that estimated an attendance of 200? That's only a quarter of the seats sold. Not to mention the entertainment may be a little bit... lacking I suppose. And then Lim texted me today saying she has extra tickets and wanted me to join in, they're really desperate now it seems.

Oh yea, what's this about having to wear an international dress? I've got absolutely no clue on what to wear now. I've got nothing to suggest I'd follow the dress code. That's why the Gala Night's so unpopular - you'd then have to ask them to shell out more money for a dress, on a time when the people you're targeting are currently in the red.

Busy few days

Remarkably, I think I've spent more money on fuel than food the in the past week or so. Yet I still need someone to guide me to Bandar because I have to shamefully admit that yesterday, I got lost in my own backyard (specifically, the small roads inbetween the two main ones in Lumut).

I have today off from heavy driving, which is a relief, but I still have a few appointments to commit to next week. I now realise why some people get broke quite too soon. Going up and down Bandar takes out half your fuel tank, especially when you have to come up with slow traffic in the Liang area - inconsistent speeds consume lots of fuel.

At home I installed an image gallery server. It's quite slow...

Looking forward to meeting old pals at the weekend. If they're also coming that is.

Cefiro rawks!

So many things happened recently it's surreal. What a turbulent few weeks I had.

So just 3 days after graduating from UBD, I find myself among the halls again this morn. It's... weird, to put it bluntly. And I still can't get near Minako-sensei, sigh.

I've been doing a lot of traveling with Vas recently, and this morning was no exception. Only this time, I was not in a smelly, germ-infested car but that one glaring legacy from my dad - his Nissan Cefiro.

Green (darkish shade). Spacious. 0-60 in under 3 secs. V6 engine. 240 km/h tops. Efficient fuel consumption. Sport rims. Maximum of 7 audio CDs loadable. Auto lock. Even the smell, with the remnants of my dad's tobacco smoke, is way better than the mothballs and stale spilt satay curry of the Sunny. This car is just too much for me. I recommended selling it but seems like we can't. And now it's gonna be used exclusively by me? I just hope I don't look like an ingrate. I'd settle with a Mazda 2 (the one with nice green paint) so as soon as I get a job I'mma save up enough to buy myself one and give the Cefiro to my sweet lil sister and the Sunny to the one who made the mess hahaha so... no wedding bells. No way. I'mma keep my sex cells all to myself and spare the grief of a few souls because I'll be a bad bad parent. Okay I'll stop ranting about marriage.

Remind me to not burn off any Initial D-esque songs for the car, for the sake of my safety. I'm serious.
