The weirdest/funniest conversation took place between me and my female colleague today. We were in the midst of waiting for another colleague when some guy stood in front of us:

Guy: Who are you gals waiting for?
Us: Colleague A, she has gone in to get some stuff...
Guy: Oh ok, you gals are with her huh...

Then when he walked past us, he patted my back and I went O_o WTF???!!! Who is that guy??? He just patted my back... Then we started this conversation:

Me: You know... the other day, I was at this festival... as I was walking pass a crowd, somebody tickled my ass!
Colleague: What? Tickled?
Me: Ya... such a bastard right...
Colleague: (Laughed for a full 10 seconds) You know... that's because you have no ass... else he would've groped you... instead he tickled you... (then proceeded to laugh like a mad hyena)
Me: Dumbass...
Colleague: Ya, ya... I know... I have a big ass so I'm groped like all the time... but tickled? Wahahahahahahaha...

Some people really have no sympathy you know... pui!

Problems at work? Fret not...

This morning, I reached office at 6.45am... damn terror right... kekekekeke... Am amazed at myself for being able to wake up so early (am not a morning person at all) but aiii... since the roads will be closed for the police rehearsal... no choice lor...

The thing is... I'm kinda bad with directions... half the time I ended up taking wrong turns and turn a 30min drive into a 90min one so I usually only stick to the routes I know (which is not many). Of the many many years I worked here... I've taken the same route day in day out... so when I heard about the police rehearsal and road closure, I was worried lor... and thus had to get up extra early to go to work...

Nevertheless, the drive to work was super relaxing this morning... roads were clear, sky still dark, nice songs on the radio... so nice!!! I should strive to do this more often...

See... the roads are practically empty!

17-March... 10 years ago on this date... I met my bf when I started college. I was only 18 years old then! To commensurate this anniversary, thought I'd just share some photos from before (my older self... hehehehe)...

1999 (I was in my final year then at 20 years old)

2001 (Ditched specs at 22 years old)

2002 (Rebonded hair for the first time when I was 23... point of no return ever since)

2003 (A blondie at 24 years old)

2004 (At 25 years old, first trip with the parents)

2005 (Sported fringe at 26 years old)

2006 (Permed hair for the first time but can't find a pict of us together)

2007 (Now at 28 years old... getting old...)

Looking back I must say, he's the childhood friend that saw me mature from an innocent, nerdy geek to who I am today... So to Mr. Ong ar... Happy 10th Anniversary!!!

I hate to be a biatch but this occasion calls for a RANT! A LOUD ONE in fact.

You see... In our team, there's this designated photographer. Everytime we celebrate any of the team members' birthdays or if we have special lunches or special dinners, she's the assigned one to take photographs... Let's call her LightningCam...

There was this once, a few of us from the team were required to submit our group photo to be included in the internal newsletter. All our shots were nicely taken (again by LightningCam)... but since we had some extra time (at the location we were at), somebody casually mentioned that LightningCam should take impromptu candid shots of us so that we appear relaxed and casual! So LightningCam just stood in front of us while we were yakking away and out of a sudden, said OK... Without us noticing, she had taken like 1,000 photos of us talking and laughing animatedly. Needless to say, none of those "candid" shots were selected to be included in the newsletter. It was the nicely planned ones that were shortlisted.

BUT...

Ever since that incident, LightningCam started taking "candid" photos at EVERY DAMN function. The best part was, LightningCam would silently walk around holding her camera and when we're ready to pose, she has completed her photo taking sessions.

Today, she sent out 2 1/2 emails to the team:

• The first one was colleague A's birthday - 14MB of photos (already zipped)
• The second one was colleague B's birthday - a whopping 85MB of photos (again zipped)
• By the time she sent the 3rd one... all of us were already screaming and cursing... Why? Cos (1) Our mailbox was immediately full (2) Our laptops hung while trying to save the super large file (3) LightningCam sent us an SMS saying that our mailbox was FULL when we were desperately trying to save and delete her super big ass mails!!!

After the crazy hassle of trying to save those whopping big files... I opened them one by one and boy was I NOT surprised to see that the photos were all taken without any of us posing for the camera! Out of the thousands of photos that LightningCam took, none really stood out... So don't you think this calls for a LOUD RANT? Sigh...

Here are some sample photos taken by LightningCam... there's 2 versions of me pushing the chair and let me assure you that I did it at a NORMAL pace... which could only mean that LightningCam's camera takes 1,000 shots at a minute:

Here's another one:

Sigh...

I felt so damn guilty. This year, I told myself that I would be more prudent with my money and that I would stop spending unnecessarily. But shit! I got myself a new camera on Sunday... yet another impulse purchase.

I've been having lots of problems with my Olympus Mju Mini ever since I dropped it during an elephant ride in Bangkok... Everytime I try to on my camera, the stupid lens would pop in and out by itself (misalignment somewhere... from the drop). At times, I have to on and off at least 4 times before I could use it.

So when I came across the camera promotion at Low Yat on Sunday, I casually went over to look see look see... and instantly I was sold!

Got the Canon IXUS 850 IS at a steal deal (I think)...
At RM1,380 it comes with a whole load of goodies:
- Free 2GB memory card (2GB ok... can take over a 1,000 photos)
- Free leather case (unlike the Mju Mini before that came with a cloth pouch)
- Free metal strap (damn cool man)
- Free screen protector (worth RM69)
- Free tripod (not gonna use it but heck, it's free)

So anyway... learning how to use it now... The first few photos I took was grainy... cos I accidentally set the ISO to 1600 which was apparently meant for night shots... (Below: Picture of my cool colleagues... MBA fellas... lemme know if interested... hehe).

So does that mean that I need to adjust the scene mode everytime I take a picture??? So much work meh? Susah-nya...

For the past 2 days, the newspapers had been reporting stories of super achievers in SPM... Gone were the days where 8As are considered damn good! Nowadays, students sit for as many as 16 papers. SIXTEEN k not six... S-I-X-T-E-E-N.

Whenever I come across news or articles like this, I thank god that I was born earlier for really, I simply cannot imagine myself sitting for so damn many papers... I mean, what sort of subjects are those anyway??? When I was in Form 5... I remembered only the following subjects:

(01) BM
(02) Eng
(03) Maths
(04) Add Maths
(05) Bio
(06) Physics
(07) Chemistry
(08) History

At most hor, ppl take additional subjects like:
(09) 1119
(10) Econs
(11) Accounts

That's all I think... what about the balance 5 subjects?
- Moral ar?
- Pendidikan Jasmani ar?
- Pendidikan Islam ar?
- Seni or sth ar?
- Geography ar?

WTF??? Is this how the younger generations are trained to think? The more As the better? Is this the new vision for "kuli-kulum" 2020... for students to be the "kuli" of education?
