Karaoke? Neway throught the NIGHT!

Just last month, a friend from Singapore came for a short "break" in Malaysia. It was a pretty enjoyable one, as we're looking forward to get-together. What I wanna say would be on Friday night, we went to Neway for karaoke. It was around 9pm... we wander around KL, no idea what to eat. But when you mention karaoke, it MUST be Neway. Redbox & Greenbox is OK, it's just that Neway's food is definitely much nicer. So we were at Neway's reception. It's gonna cost us RM55++ per person for the buffett dinner, and the buffett line closes at 10pm! We have another 3o minutes to go! After one glance at the food, our hungry selves got the better of us and we just go along with it.




Me and Singaporean friend, Hui Yi - went and grabbed the food while Mei Theng (local) pick her songs. I forgot how many rounds we went in and out (then later I sit in the room while the other two grab summore fud), but I believe we didn't stop until 10!!! That was that. And no one bother to sing coz everyone's STARVING already!





After about half an hour, we started singing. It was fun. We didn't stop until it was 1.45am!!! Neway told us "officially" our time will be up at 12.30am, but if we wish to continue and that one requires a room, they will allow us to continue. This is madness. I have never sang so long in a karoke before, and have never sang till wee hours in the morning.

By the time we paid up, went to ladies, walk towards car park - it's already 2am. And we went to the wrong floor in search for MT's car. I really panicked inside. There's no one around and its freaky in the car park. Yeah, I watched P2 if you havent... and you ought to. It'll give you an insight on not to leave alone in the middle of the night. Even if there were 3 of us, we are not match for a group of people. What's gonna happen if some hooligan targets us? While we went up to the "right" floor where MT's car is parked, I was about to push the emergency door when someone (from the other side) pulled it. I jumped. I was shocked and I was scared. What if it IS a group of naughty youngsters? Lo and Behold, it was a handsome boy. And I mean it. Dunno bout you but he's surely my type ;)
Okay, it was a little OOT but I was relieved. I'd rather bump into a GHOST than any human being, especially if it had to be the opposite sex. You'll never know what happened. and NO WAY AM I GONNA TELL THIS TO MY MUM! She's gonna lecture me for one whole MONTH! It's because I was overnight at MT's house what she didn't find out!!!

Should I scream "LUCKY!" to that? lol... anyway I'm a coward too, so I don't really dare to go back in the middle of night where there's not a soul around :D

Philosophy of life? Sure not.



Do you believe that when one minute you're so happy and full with joy, and that the next minute you'll be weeping in sorrow?

I believe that.

Perhaps that's the ups & downs of life? and that's how we appreciate the good times we had and remember the sad times that fall upon us? Things happen in the family sumtimes and it's not within our control. As the kids, who are we to tell parents what to do?

And worse things await outside sumtimes. I often wonder - what's the purpose of life after you went through all the trials? Are they supposed to make you strong? So what if it did, and so what if it didn't? We'll still have to die. It didn't make us immortal.

And I hate it when I'm emotional. And I AM EMOTIONAL. I have family burden to carry at the back of my head, and my work's not making it any easier. Sure, no OT etc is good and I appreciate that. But you sure won't be happy when you have a fickle-minded superior. One minute it's this, and the next is sumthing else. One minute he'll say, "Okay, I'll do my own arrangement" and the next he'll be screaming for me to do it. And there's just tooooooooooooo many last minute things. Last minute changes, last minute booking, last minute cancellation, last minute confirmation, last minute request. Anything else?

Yes, I wonder how many times I repeated the same things? Yet it's as though I didn't inform at all and the question kept coming back to me. The message didn't go through, too bad. Transmission failed. Communication breakdown. Words not noted. Then, a friend informed him and I received a call that goes: bla bla bla bla bla did you know that bla bla bla bla bla. It was the same thing that I tried to send across for a whole week. Apparently the message must be sent by another recipient, not me. Maybe I encrypted the message and he couldn't decipher it.

You want cheap cheap cheap hotel last minute? Sure, I'll look for you. But make sure don't complain you see hookers here and there. That's why they are called "cheap".

So in the end, the lesson is this: even if your boss says he wants a cheap hotel, get him a 5-star hotel.






Argh damn. It's so embarrassing today - I can't control myself. Angry thoughts just flowed into me. And I became frustrated. It's all bottled up and about to burst.





I really want to leave, and I mean it. I don't enjoy my work (except marketing-related?) I don't like my position and I despise the admin job as well as misc job that I was asked to do. I know, I complain a lot like a bitch. Who doesn't?

Much as I hate to wear a mask, I do when needed. And the mask eventually shattered when I lose my temper. Easily lol. The saying, "Customer is always right" goes for all service. When you employ it to workplace, it'd go as "BOSS IS ALWAYS RIGHT". I tend to be too bold for people's liking sumtimes.

I have a terrible temper, and there was once when I was so frustrated, I actually messed up my bedroom. I broke a few things. But that was many years ago... I find it troublesome because you'll have to clean your own sh*t afterwards (meaning clean your own mess). Bygones are bygones... even so, I'm sure there are times when you find it hard to forgive or get things back the way they used to be. When I'm not in the mood, then I'm not in the mood. Sh*t happens, and life goes on till you're dead. Then life continues for the others.



I hate my current self and my temper. I think it's time to mend this terrible habit and start taking Yoga classes.
