i goT a rAiSe?!... WeLL iLL bE....

Hey Boo,
After days of slavery… and not being able to blog or update myspace, friendster or anything; and after a whole day of zzzz’s yesterday… I’ve decided to tart reposting today… a new resolution… will not let work get in the way of my blog…
So what have happened since the 18th?! Frankly, so much have happened I don’t even remember!!!
Classes have been okay I would say… the tutorial I have to mark are still lying on the to do section of my filing cabinet… since too many tings have been occupying my desk space lately, I’ve decided to move my to-dos over the cabinet… well, it still lying there cursing me everyday… telling me what a lazy fat-ass I have been… oh wait, that’s just my imagination…
The trip to Alamanda Putrajaya with Anna was beneficial I guess… the Teddy’s Dream oil from Lovely Lace is heavenly… my room smells so good now… who gives a fuck even if it’s girly to have nice smelling rooms… I like it… and that’s how it should stay… smelling nice…
Oh, I should say I got a raise too… some revision on the allowance or something like that… so my pay has increased a few hundred… I dun get it… but I am not complaining… hehehe
Let’s see… what else can I write about…?! It’s times like these I envy MikeL and SmashPOP…. They’re never out of ideas… I guess some people are just better at expressing themselves… I never have been the one much for words… even back in school my essays used to be short and direct… on the other hand, I’ve been labeled the chatterbox by quite a few… I guess, I am more the talker and not the writer… but who gives a shit?!
I did get some pictures of me at Ikano the other day… will post that later… it’s on the other hard-disk.
Oh btw, the DVD writing project is going well… my hard-disk is freeing space, I can watch my movies and animes on my DVD player; and best of all I can start downloading again with my free space… yaay for me…
Slowly getting used to my new phone… don’t know why I got the N-Gage QD?! I haven’t tried the games… well not really… hehe… will get around to it…
Here it is…

I’ll write more soon…
Bless…

Nocheinmal, bitte langsam!

Today was the usual ass shaping day where I have to work my ass walking back and forth to Linguistics Fac busy day for me… had classes from 2 to 7. In the morning I had some extra Separations 2 tutorial requested by my overenthusiastic students. I know I am busy and that time could be used to settle of some of the pending matters but I just can’t say no… I like teaching what can I say… the preparation is horrendous but I think its well worth it. Slept at 3 am yesterday trying to figure out to explain what wet bulb temperature is so they’d understand… but they didn’t… I guess you can’t win em’ all… but the class was okay overall I would say. I managed to go through question 2, which everyone was asking about within that one hour… and I also sorted out my name… Shazrin I told them to call me… was quite irritated to be called Tutor! Tutor!...

German was quite fun today… although I was caught off guard when the lecturer asked Wie alt sind Sie? I stared at her dumbfounded… it was almost a minute before I managed vierundzwanzig Jahre alt … but she wasn’t too pissed… considering I had been drilling Ich bin Shazrin. Ich bin vierundzwanzig Jahre alt. I was quite surprised that I’d freeze like that… but I think I can manage the Wie haißen Sie? Wo wohnen Sie?… oh well… she showed the class some corny German video… it was quite amusing… had the “happy family game” afterwards…

Spanish was rather bland today… just learning a few conjugations and stuff like that…

Dead tired by the time I get back…

Need rest…

Bless…

Hey boo…
Just got back from French class… and now sipping coffee in front of my PC… today’s lesson was rather cute, but then again French is always cute… it’s German that’s killing me… for now that is.
Oh well…
The day sure started with momentum, a momentum of shitloads of work that is… I told Abah to drop me off at the main office as usual… a quick peak at my pigeonhole and I see a bunch of papers and a fat brown envelope. As usual, I sighed like any spoilt fat ass lazy bitch who expects to be paid for nothing as usual… they were actually tutorial sheets Professor Ali left for me to mark. I’ll look at it later I thought because this Wednesday will be lecture class and not tutorial… meaning good ole’ Shaz will be in his room getting other crap off his back…
I finally managed to hook up the DVD writer to the PC at home over the weekend. Anna and Zul decided to sleep over because Mama won’t let them take Puteri home… she’s not fully recovered after all and all that moving might very well make her sick again. Oh well, that’d give me and Tanti some time off Puteri… not that we’re complaining… well, Tanti mostly because she’s the one with the baby all the time… anyways, we managed to get some of the animes into some DVDs meaning we’d be able to free some space on the HDD… more downloading in the future for sure…
The weekend was rather relaxing I would say… me at least… I tried to stay away from the PC (apart from writing files to DVDs) even though I was supposed to get some work done. I’ll do it during the week… I figured… so much for making up my mind eh?!
Anyways, I was the scribe on Friday for the department meeting… I didn’t blog about that now did I?! Well, basically I just sit and write every crap that everyone says and prepare the minutes later… great huh?! Hehehe thankfully the meeting didn’t last so long… maybe everyone was eager to leave because it was raining and it was after all a Friday afternoon. All the better for me. Started drafting the minutes after the meeting…
Since I’m a little dry of ideas… now would be a good time to post some pictures of my office my office… hehehe
This is my air-cond… took them months to get it installed…

This is my notice board… where I post all my junk… notice the DMC pictures... hehehe


This is my desk… where I… do stuff lah… :P

My trusty PC… where I sit and blog… and do useless stuff like that…

My filing cabinet…

My white board….


Oh ok… that was pointless…
Anyways, this is MY space… MY office… hehehe all mine 

bOriNggggg....

Hi boo…
Yesterday, or Thursday rather, was a really exhausting. The schedule is tight and required some 10 minutes brisk-walk 3 times back and forth bur somehow it was extra tiring…
My morning was interrupted by a student asking about the tutorial problems and I ended spending the whole morning going through the whole thing with him. I had barely checked my email. I can always tell when I am behind my work… there’d be piles of email in the Follow Up folder in Outlook. Well, to date there are over 20… I only managed to steal some time to drop by louyau.net for a quick read. I can’t remember now but I think he hadn’t updated yet. Then I was replying some smses and it was two o’clock before I got through all of em’. So it was the first marathon of the day, I had to walk to the Linguistics Faculty for my German class.
I arrived late and had to sit in the second row. Something I haven’t done in ages and for some reason I felt as if I am behind the class. I don’t know; German seems kind of difficult for now. Then I rushed back to my office hoping I could get some work done.
Just to give you a picture… I had bought an external DVD writer two weeks ago and it’s still in the bag. I’ve not had the time to unpack the damned thing. And I really wanted the DVD writer…
So I left for class leaving my PC, ac and lights on thinking I’d come back to sort some more things before I leave. After class, Abah was already waiting at Linguistics so I told him to stop by my office only to find the main door locked. So I had to leave the lights and other stuff on overnight. I hope no one complains.
I was extra tired I guess because I arrived home, changed, had dinner and went straight to bed. I think it was a little after 8.
Today wasn’t very productive as well, I dunno… maybe I am getting over sloppy and lazy… but I have made up my mind. I will get most of it done over the weekend.
So I am stopping here for now.
Bless all.

tagboard acting up....

mikel: yeah.. much... thank you very much... how are you btw?
pOp: me too... cant over it...
rejwild: yeah.. thanx for dropping by...

tHe cOmEbAcK...

So what’s my freaking excuse this time for not blogging for the past twelve days or so?!... What could be more fucking important that bitching to the world about my daily miseries…?! Well, for starters Mama and Abah had to go to Labuan for the weekend so me, Puteri and Tanti were conveniently dumped at Anna’s place… I know were are both way over twenty and can take care of Puteri at home, but who’s going to drive me to work?! not being able to drive suddenly makes me feel like such a cripple
So, I would leave with Zul in the morning and Anna/Zul would pick me up later… Thursday was fine because Zul had to drop something off at SS2 so we took our sweet time, had breakfast and all before he dropped me off at my office… he liked morning drop-offs so he could check in late for work… I guess the morning traffic is really getting to him… oh well… that day went on a dull-ly as any day could get… oh… went crazy with the camera… will post some pictures of my office… *smiles*
On Friday, Zul had to be in on time so we had to park the car at Kelana Jaya station and take the LRT… so there I was, out with peasants early in the morning… taking the LRT no less…
Salam came over to check on his myspace and all sorts on my PC… and keep me company of course… I’d just go crazy alone… with all those work to do.
Anyways…
yaay for getting that job Salam…
So I thought I’d take him out for dinner or something… to celebrate and thank him for keeping me company all this while… oh, June had an interview at COMBICAT that day… so he tagged along too. They picked Secret Recipe at MidValley to go for dinner… June had some sort of kebab dish and Salam had the Thai fried rice… the food wasn’t really that good… but that’s not the story… you see it was raining and I had late lunch that day, and some stupid meeting… and you know what meeting translates to when you work in the government… yeah… say it with me… FOOD!!! so I wasn’t really that hungry at all… and I just ordered a cappuccino for myself… being that I love coffee and all…
So after a while my oversized cup with the froth and all came… I was all excited with anticipation… and I took a sip… *yucks* it was not hot… I hadn’t added the sugar to it yet but I don’t think it’d dissolve… the damned thing might as well be on ice… so I waved my bitch hands for the waiter…
Me: My coffee is not hot…
The waiter nodded and took my cup…
A while passed… Salam and June were almost through with their plates…
My coffee came back…
I took a sip… hoping… *yucks!!!* it’s still cold… so I took my cup and splashed it on his head…!!!
what the fuck is wrong with people…?! did they make coffee over lunch and line em’ up on the counter to save time when people order or what?! They might as well have stirred coffee into iced water… and I am not exaggerating…
I looked at Salam…
Me: Would I be a bitch I returned my cup again?!...
Salam: Yeah!!! You’d be a major bitch… *nodding*
Me: Oh who gives a damn…
I motioned for the waiter again…
Me: My coffee is cold… I returned it earlier… feel the cup… it’s not hot…
The waiter kept a straight face… while I showed him how the cup wasn’t even warm… he took my cup and left… I could only imagine the words that must be running through his brain…
Oh well…
After a while coffee came… I’ll be damned if I have to return this one too…
Me: You wait here… I want to make sure this is right this time…
The waiter had to force a smile while I sipped my coffee… finally… coffee…
It wasn’t good coffee… but at least it’s coffee…
Me: see… at least the cup is hot… thank you…
He left…
.
.
.
So that was my adventure with coffee… so never screw with Shazrin’s coffee coz’ Shazrin will get mad!!!

Saturday and Sunday wasn’t much either… just the usual ole’ week over at Anna’s…
Did a little shopping at Alamanda Putrajaya… hmmm… that’s about it…

Monday… now there’s something… my first Separation 2 class with the students…
The class was rather big… 63 students… mostly in their third year.
I was five minutes late for my class so I made an entrance and was introduced by Professor Ali: … this is your very young and handsome tutor…
Sheesh…
I settled down a while and then Professor Ali handed me the class…
The first thing I taught my students was how to read the psychromatric chart…
There I was standing in front of 63 students armed with the trusty OHP, transparencies and marker… one hour really flies when you are teaching… didn’t get to cover much as it was their first time with the chart so some of em’ couldn’t really digest what I was ranting about in front…
But I felt good… I mean all this while I know I like it when people have to listen to me ramble and rant, but this time they actually have to pay attention as well… and it felt good… I was actually teaching… doing my bit for mankind…
My first step… to becoming Professor Shazrin… hehe nice ring to it…
So now the world would not be scarce of those who can decipher the psychromatric chart…
The rest of the day went by like lightning… I had so much to do… curse paper work… curse administrative work… curses…

Tuesday… slept till 4pm… ate… slept…

Today… continued with my class… today is actually an extra class because it’s a three credit subject but we’ve been loosing our Mondays to the holidays so we needed this…
I was a little more comfortable standing in the front… actually I was comfortable before… today I am just savoring it… topic of the day was still humidification and dehumidification… it’s nice to have 63 pair of eyes gawk at you for an hour while you go on and on… before I knew it, my one hour was up, my finger were black from the ink, and Dr Wan Ashri was already at the door… together with his Reaction Engineering class…
I had some students tail me to my office needing some clarification on some of the examples we solved in class… chit chatted with them for a while and it was almost noon…
Dr Kheireddine was breathing down my neck for his posters… I worked on it for a while… putting the pictures I took in place… converted the file to .pdf format and emailed him… 12:30 called Ramang for lunch…
1:00 went back to office to work on the posters again… 1:45 left for my French class…
The ten minute walk was hot and boring… yeah what else is new… :P
3:30 class was over… rushed to the main faculty building for the TechPos 06 committee meeting… more food… 4:45 meeting with Dr Kheireddine about the posters…
5:15 finally I get time to myself to read my emails…
A click of send/receive on my Outlook and the mails come pouring in…
Then more dreadful news came… Dept. Meeting… 13/1/2006… Scribe: Raja Shazrin…
Arrrgghhhh…. Damn it… oh well, got to do it sometime… can’t expect Dr Ngoh to do it all the time… oh well…
Checked myspace… chatted a bit… and that’s my day… my boring and dull day…
Oh well…
Am going to do my blog rounds now…
Oh… I’ve missed so much….
Bless all…

hApPy fReAkiN' nEw yEaR...

I just kept telling myself for the past few days… “I’ll blog something today… I will…” but something always gets in the way. There’s always someone on the phone, a colleague stopping by for office chit-chat, meetings that seem to last a lifetime, homework, and the list goes on… you’d think someone like me would be past homework. Yeah, I guess God has laid out paths for all of us and mine happened to involve homework at 24… or rather 25… I think I am going with 24… actually taking up some foreign languages was all my idea, I have after all been trying for the past four years, so now I am finally able to take the courses the least I could do is not complain right?! Hmm… although a little bitchin’ never hurt anybody I always say.
Let’s see… my last entry was on the 25th so that makes the week a whole void. Well, plenty happened, although the plenty that happened are non-juicy or afternoon soap worthy material, but rather the usual developments in my life, academic career, relationships, and schedule. Put like that it might sound nice but trust me, they are just the same old crap…
The storm that cut my blog-time last week lasted for quite a while. At least I think it did because I dozed off waiting for it to stop. Thinking I’d continue with my bitchin’ and all… but being the lazy asshole that I am I dozed off. Remember the shit load of work I had, and supposed to have completed on the Monday off… well, I ended up stapling my lid to the tv and wasting my time making my ass bigger doing other stuff. So I went to work the next day hoping to avoid Dr K because the poster I promised to finish for him was only half done, but in the end he ended up avoiding me as well because he had his share of catching up to as well. I guess that’s why academicians get cranky early in the semesters, they shouldn’t be caught up in administrations work, but then again some of these really aren’t administrative at all and the admin staff just cannot cope with the load; unless of course they hire chemical engineering graduates to fill in those positions. The syllabus, load, registrations and all those nonsense, the students will walk all over them… so I guess the system is as it should be.
Someone commented that I get too involved in my work and end up sounding very boring; but truth of the matter is, I am a boring person to begin with. I just like to talk about work, research and stuff like that; and I also like to talk about games and movies I watch on Hallmark *and yes I watch Hallmark!!!*… so that makes me a boring person to some. But I am happy and I’d like to stay that way. Even though I may bitch about it from time to time; and complain and whine, but I am happy and thus so I will remain.
Working with the poster and stuff was getting a bit of a hassle without a USB drive; mine was taken hostage by Anna and all, so I guess I’ll just have to ask for one from the Department. That was on the list of things to do that day. I went to see Professor Ali a little before lunch to ask about class so it’d look like I care. Apparently I got the time mixed up and missed the bloody thing. Good thing it was a lecture because the tutorial was on Mondays, and thus cancelled because of Christmas. A little chat and I was off. Picked up a 256MB USB drive from the office *I would have like the 1GB one but no stock apparently*. The rest of the day is pretty much a blur to me now.
Highlight of Wednesday was the fu*king hole I burn in my bloody pocket paying for my fees at IPS. It wasn’t that much but still my poor gold card was set back a good RM1500 or so. Oh well… oh and I finally got the letter of offer for my French, German and Spanish classes. After harassing Razak at the office about my offer letter from those as* li*king m*therf*ckers SKR I called them and said I’ll go pick the thing up myself. There were mistakes on the print and it was left on someone’s desk apparently. even though I was told “it’s been sent to you”
Thursday… I was at UPM the whole day attending a one day seminar on Technologies on Wastewater Treatment by Professor Bharat Gupta from France. A good lecture in whole I would say. From there I rushed back to UM just in time for my first Spanish class. The teacher was Chinese and apparently she recognized me from Second College days back in 2000. She was my PM… how’s that for a small world..?!
Chinese-Spanish accent may need some getting used to though!!!
Friday or rather yesterday was the day that I told myself I’d stay at the office and get all my work done; once and for all. Arrived at 10:07 for my 10:00 appointment with Professor Nik; she was chatting with Dr Che Ros in front of her office. I was cutoff by Awanis who needed to see her and couldn’t wait in line so I figured it must be important. I courteously excused myself to Xerox my Spanish notes to give way.
The meeting afterwards went on until after twelve. Went to my room and Ramang called to tell me they were leaving for Friday prayers and I needed the ride. This after a short hi-have-a-nice-trip with FMT who was leaving for Mecca…
I was off and at the mosque… lunch and all lasted till 3.
Back to the office. Dr Ngoh came for a chat. About 4 ish then
Ramang came later to take back his USB drive, I transferred Angels in America to the tablet PC so I can watch it over the weekend.
Mama called says Zul will pick me up a little later. I was fine with that. More time to do work.
Proceeded to check my email…
Ismail called about the Taman Negara trip he was planning for CNY just as I was reading the email… chatted with him about stuff and who’s doing what until a little after 6.
Finished off replying emails and stuff and Ramang had to leave for Maghrib.
Dragged the files into my briefcase *hoping to get some work done over the weekend… again…*. Prayed… 7:30 ish… time was up… Zul called. Packed up, locked my room and left.
So bloody much for getting work done.
Let’s see how this weekend goes.
Bless…

I need a break

POST COMING SOON... Promise.

mErRy cHriStMaS... bitchin' today...

Gee what do you know… Christmas is here again. The time of year where malls stock up with cool stuff and they try to get rid of em’ at amazing prices… to get anything, you’d have to kill someone swim the ocean of traffic and people… I mean the traffic is just impossible… and the crowd is just insane. So Christmas for me this year is staying home and getting some posters done and complete the Air Pollution course modules…
The gang (kamal, adib, faz, bond, actually all of em’ I think) is meeting at Hartamas Square or someplace that sounds like that tonight… I wanted to go but transport being the main problem and the fact that Mama told me to stay home also there’s work… hmmm… bottom-line, I am sitting this one out. Why do they have to pick such a place anyways?! Some people, I just don’t know what to say… but then again who cares if I am not going to show. It’s not like I am on their most popular list or somethin’. I wasn’t even invited at first, until I started to make a fuss about it… why am I getting all worked up about this?! Because I AM A BITCH!!!... and someone should just bitchslap me out of … things are different for me. I get treated differently there I go again… shut up BITCH!!! or so I think… I started realizing this when I saw Salam chatting with Sinul the other day. Their conversation a BITCH that eavesdrop… how’s that?!!! was so relaxed thrashy and of no use to mankind whatsoever and SO NOT like my conversations with the people I know. Except for Kamal that is, but he’s different… he’s been listening to my non-stop complaining and whining and bitchin’ about everything … rants for more than 6 years he knows how to talk to me… he’s just nice most of the time… but this is not about him… Salam and Sinul yeah… they were talking about who’s got new handphones, who’s buying new cars, who’s bitchin in his house… stuff like that. When any of them ever call me it’d be to ask about so and so’s phone number, or fax number, or address even, how to do this, how to apply for that, are the results out, are the lecturers screwing each other again? and stuff like that… it’s not that I mind being their one stop tele-info centre line, but a “how are you today?” or “… you bumpin’ anyone tonight?...” or even “… bump me tonight…” would be nice once in a while… I do get em’ from Kamal tho’ but he can only ask like so many times… it’s even hard to get replies sometimes… I guess maybe I’m just still dwelling in the past or I have SOBs and biatches for friends… and the fact that I am at the university doesn’t really help… but it sure beats hanging around people close to retiring age discussing about securing contracts, commissions and stuff like that… *shivers* those business days were something… Masters of Engineering Science is a sure good excuse to get way from work… and I think the substitute job of tutoring is going to be fun as well… at least it’ll be young dudes and pretty gals. Then there’s the occasional “yo!” on the good ole YIM… but then that’s about it… no follow up… so what was I to do, where was I to go, I was out on my fanny…. *6 episodes of the Nanny back to back can do that to you* you know what… screw this… I forgot what the hell my point was… and the bitchin’ it’s so not worth it. I got my PC, the internet and my PS2, tons of work… merry Christmas to me the pathetic bitch
Oh. I meant to write about those motherfu*kers idiots that installed my ac at the office. Well, they showed up a day later, without notice or apologies for standing me up the whole day the day before, while I was having my morning coffee at the café. I saw them arrive… I figured ‘I’ll just let them wait for me for a while’ so I took my time wih my coffee… the view from the Architecture Faculty (where the café is) is clear enough for me to see everything… the unloading of equipments, shit like that… a good five minutes and I am I figure ‘if they leave it’s gonna be my loss’, so I dragged my lil’ ass yeah right!!! back to my building to unlock my office. A few hours later my room is cooled with the new 1.5hp ac unit… finally, after like 3 months of wait, that’s finally over…
Ok… storm coming… dun want my modem to burn… will continue later…
Bless…

mY dAy.... bOriNgGgGgG...

I was just staring at my blog… just staring… like a bloody idiot… I don’t know why?! I guess it’s because I feel like my life is rather gray lately. It’s not that I am complaining *hey, what do you call that then?! Stupid!!!* and I don’t want to sound like a bitch ungrateful, but that’s just how I feel and there’s nothing I can do about it… I guess I could stop complaining… oh well, chances are I’ll forget about this and feel better tomorrow.
Those people finally showed up to fix my new ac unit this morning, although I wasn’t there and they have to come back tomorrow, at least I know it’ll be there tomorrow. It’s been like hell that office. I mean like sheesh… I took like 6 months I think for them to fix it… how’s that for ISO huh?!
The day was rather choppy, I arrived at the office about 11:20am (supposed to meet Prof. Nik at 11:00am) and I scan the parking lot for her car… not in sight… she’s later than I am…stopped by the main office at the department to check my pigeonhole and there was a piece of shit memo about a meeting with the Deputy Dean for the Annual Report Committee at 10:00am today (it was 11:30am then), took my payslip from Kak Yatie’s desk, said my usual ‘good morning’ to Kak Yatie… walked over to my building and saw Salam on the cute yellow scooter as I was walking up the stairs, went to my office, fix things up a little, called the Deputy Dean’s office to ask about the meeting only to find out it’s been postponed (for the 2nd time) to 2:15pm, check a bunch of rubbish email, then the cleaner lady came and I bashed her up with my keyboard made her wipe the dust off my PC… called Prof. Nik’s office and her PA told me she said she was coming but not sure what time that is (of course she is, she is supposed to see me…)… Dr. Barul came to discuss about some Laboratory arrangement stuff for this semester, gave him the file and he left… Salam had to see his friend about something so he told me to leave the room unlocked if I had to leave for the meeting before he came back… Prayed Zuhur… Salam came back about 2 pm… then Prof. Nik called and said I could see her then… rushed over to meet her in the tea room, talked about the IPPP Research Bulletin, my progress report, a poster I was supposed to help Dr. K with, the Air Pollution e-Learning Lecture slides, and the APPCHE conference, this took about 15 minutes and it was 2:30pm then… wished her a pleasant trip to India and bring me back something nice and ran down to the faculty building. Almost everyone was there but the meeting hasn’t started. The Deputy Dean was on his cell phone. This is okay then, I thought. The meeting went on and on about how to present the data on the report and stuff like that, bla bla bla… had a cup to tea with milk after that (there’s always food for UM meetings… :P) packed 4 karipap back to my room. There was fried noodles served but it looked yucky to I didn’t bother… returned Awanis’ call from the phone in the meeting room (she called during the meeting) and she wanted the Lab Manual CD… went back to my room, Salam was doing his usual website rounds… went to Dr. Ngoh’s room to get the CD from her… passed it to Awanis… chatted a while with her… Salam left around 5:00pm… I checked my bank account. My Credit Card was overdue!!!! What the F*CK I thought… grabbed my bag and checked my chequebook. I had written a cheque for the Credit Card on the 2nd of December… couldn’t have taken 2 weeks for the cheque to get there… Dammit… give a call to southern bank to ask what the fuck is wrong… “No we have not received your cheque sir…”
F*CK!!! “You may call your bank to stop that check and write us another one.” F*CK!!! I hate going to the bank… guess I have no choice and pay a visit to bank myself tomorrow to settle my bills with cash… it’s already 2 days overdue anyways, another cheque would take too long… bloody post… F*CK!!! I hope Salam comes tomorrow so I can get a ride from him to the bank… F*CK!!! Prayed Asar… They came to pick me up from work…
Quiet drive home. cursing the postal service and the bank...Didn’t doze off in the car.
Had dinner… typed some letters to be faxed… faxed em’ out… here I am now updating my blog… so I guess that was my day today… *sigh* choppy and boring… all this for peanuts… hehehe
Better stop now…
Bless…

I think I am going to be tutoring Separations 2 and CPP 1 next semester… assisting Prof. Ali… I have a feeling I’m going to like it… as if that is not enough work; I’ve registered for French, Spanish and German… I dunno if they’ll accept me into the course though… I hope they do…
Hmm… let’s see… I’ve found some cool blogs to visit… maybe I’ll update my layout and get the links on… maybe tonight…

LaZy suNNy suNDaY...

It’s a Sunday… that translates to a long and lazy day in front of my PC listening to songs, reading blogs, updating my friendster, downloading more mp3s… and then feel guilty for not getting any work done…
Professor Nik’s e-learning course syllabus… still on my shoulders… I’ve done most of the structuring but getting to the typing and designing is the difficult part. Just blocked of inspiration lately… that or I am just getting lazier by the day. I hope it’s not the latter though. The course is not that extensive anyways, I am just preparing a few modules and I bet she’s expecting something good so I better not slack off too much… *note to self: must finish at least module 1 today* yeah right…
The day is really sunny and hot… which is a good thing I suppose, our laundry have not been drying properly lately, and jeans being my everyday attire doesn’t help too… those things takes like 2 days to dry out lately… it’s just too damp and cloudy, so a little sun is good… so my clothes are drying and Poe and Maroon 5 blaring on my speaker… who could ask for a better weekend?! Although it would’ve been better if Kamal agreed to accompany me to KLCC for the PC Fair… Today’s the last day and it looks like I am not going to make it… I am not going to bother with Mama and Abah driving me there because I can imagine the traffic… It’ll just get him pissed and stressed out, so I guess that’s not worth it… so I guess I’ll just have to wait for the next PC Fair… I do need a new mouse and I wouldn’t mind getting myself another hard disk *wink*. One can never have too much storage.
Those IT guys never did show up… bloody lying motherfuckers… UMMail is just useless without my Contacts on Outlook and that’s not allowing any emails out… something about SSL and password not accepted… stupid asses… I guess I’ll just keep using GMail and Streamyx as my primary official email…
I chatted with Rifqah the other day… she seemed so in control with her life and enjoying herself in Germany. I guess she’s really savoring her ‘free’ life while she still has it. It’ll all be over when she comes back after all (living with her parents and all)… I am slowly getting over her… it’ll all be over. Life must go on…
Kuhaz and Muiz have added me on their friendster… more people on my network… yaay… I figured since we almost never say a word to each other in person, it’s always just salam and everybody back to their business, we could interact online… they are family after all… I’d hate for our family to break off when our parents are gone… I mean my mom and dad are still in touch with their cousins, which cousins am I going to be in touch with later… gosh… that’s like way in the future… mengeratkan sillaturahim lah katakan… hehe
I better sop now… I am rambling…
Bless…

I haven’t been posting again eh?! Muhahaha… it’s grouper I tell you… I can’t get away from it… addictive…

eaT eaT eaT...

Hey Boo,
My email was bugging me today… for some stupid reason it’s not sending out my emails; on outlook that is… stupid mail… kept on asking me for the network password… stupid… the MobileUnit from IT Department is coming to see my PC tomorrow… hopefully they can sort this out… *amen*
Uncle Murad’s open house was quite something… I really saw the contrast between U Murad’s side and Aunty Munirah’s side… I could see the different ways that they interact with family members; on one side we have the polite and proper group speak English eloquently in with just the acceptable amounts of laughter and on the other the loud and… erm… I don’t know how to describe it… but the contrast is there. *sigh* I better not say more :P
The house was nice tho’… a large bungalow facing the ocean… the ideal home… it was really nice (I wish I had brought a camera).
Saw the Who’s Who of Malaysia book there… I was amazed to find a few uncles inside it… hehe.
Today’s Department get together was quite nice, almost everyone showed up… I guess it’s one of those perks of working in the government, we get to eat every chance we get… food was not bad too…
I’ll stop now… I want to print out some nice pictures to spice up my office… hehe everything seems so drab… time to spice em’ up…
Bless…

LuXuRy... by mY standards

It’s been a while since my last real post… so to have just choked you up with worthless pieces of junk… I didn’t want you to get dusty… that’s all… *smiles*
So what’s up with me this past week…?! Let me just start by saying I have been slacking off just because I slaved away the week before, getting up at 7 am and all… sheesh… people always smile when I say “… I didn’t work my ass off through university just to wake up with those that sell vegetables in the market…” I guess they must be saying to themselves what a ‘lazy-spoilt-fatass’ kid I must be. I don’t mind… I just see things differently, I define luxury and success differently (I recently realized). I don’t hanker for money (not that much at least). I work because I want to… and my job now lets me keep my hours and I get to do my masters. That’s when I realized how lucky I am. I don’t slave away because I feel I have enough, sure I can’t afford my own private jet, but I don’t think I need a private jet… I am rambling, I know. But try and understand me… I get to wake up at 10 am everyday, noon if I want to, hangout with my family the whole day, I see Puteri growing up everyday, I get to go wherever I want, if I want to stay in my sarung the whole day I can, I go to the office just to make sure my work is done, maybe I’ll have to teach next semester, but that’s just a few hours a week… I can spend the whole day on my PSII if I want… I am 24 and I have a Chemical Engineering Degree, and soon a MEngSc and god willing a PhD (then I’ll be Raja Dr. Shazrin… muhahaha people mispronounce my name all the time and call me Raja Nazrin anyway… so I might as well go all out and be Raja Dr. Nazrin… like the crown prince…) and I get my way. When I see my friends working 9 to 5 Monday to Friday… I don’t know… I just feel blessed.
I guess from CEO to tutor has done me a bit of good… after all teaching IS a noble job, so my degree was not in vain. Like most of my friends that end up in sales or even worse engineers doing clerical stuff… yeesh…
Oh dear look at the time… I have to be in Port Dickson in a while (Raya open house tak habih2 lagi… *wink*) so we’ll get to last week when I get back okay.
Bless.
