How now?

In the midst of making the biggest life decision I've ever made... I turn to the only sturdy pillar in my life that has never failed me...

With so much going on in life, I feel completely lost. Wonder if I'll pull through this semester?

Ahhhh

You know things are bad when your lecturer asks you if you have too much work to do :(

(Because I've been taking advantage of his kind heart and I've been late for all my 'deadlines' under him.)

Hahaha.

Go Jo Go! Go Jo Go! Go Jo Go!

Ello Muh Bloggy

Sorry about the MIA-ness... I wrote something on FB that went viral, been busy trying to answer everyone (still have about 60+ unread messages in my FB inbox!).

As far as I know, it's gone on FZ.com, Malaysia Today, Malaysian Insider, the Star, Loyar Buruk, Astro Awani... hmm. That's the list I know for now. :) NST contacted me and then ffk-ed me when they realised that it had already gone viral. I was pleasantly surprised when my friend told me that even Marina Mahathir had shared my note and came to my defense on behalf of temporary EC officers. haha!

Funny how a post written to release pent-up frustration could garner so much popularity! Hahaha. Oh well, I've received job offers, I guess that's the best outcome I could have hoped for. Apart from raising awareness among Malaysians, of course.

The most peculiar part about 'fame' is that sooo many people wanted to be associated to me. Hahaha! The ones who were blur and asking me about "your post that everyone is talking about - where to find it??" were my own real friends. I guess that's what true friends are for, eh? I think the worst person was CP!

So, this is my own personal blog - I don't know who reads it, but I know very few people do. Please keep it that way! It's my own private space, I'll have to make it private if that changes... which I don't want to, please! It's not like I write super personal stuff in here that you can stalk and find me (or maybe you can! :-O) but it's nice to have a space to rant about silly things in broken English and know that some people read it just for the fun of it.

So, with all the GE excitement dying down, I had to finish a 25 page essay in ONE day (Thursday) because I was sooo caught up with election fever I simply couldn't concentrate on my own work during the previous week!

OH! I'll be going to Bandung in June - some young speakers' ASEAN competition. Haha. About... guess what? Economic growth in ASEAN countries. LOL. If there is one thing you NEED to know about me, it's that my brain turns off the moment I see numbers and figures. Argh. The only reason why I got an A- in STPM for econs was because it had a lot of fun theory; the reason why I got the - in the A was probably due to the last section: the math part. :(

The lecturer who is an econs lecturer in my Southeast Asian dep asked me why I never took any of his courses... I was pretty honest and told him I have no interest in econs, I concentrated on politics (so much more vibrant and exercising and stimulating and oh all the fun stuff you can associate with politics!). -__-

Ok, I'm not making fun of econs la. I'm just being a sourgrape cause I'm no good in math. :(

Which means I'll need a lot of help for my competition. Econs, anyone? Specifically, how to increase economic growth among ASEAN countries.

Zzz.

Just a simple post to let you know that I'm very much alive! And it's week 12! Ahhhh with another 6 assignments to go! :-| :-| :-|

God bless!

Sigh

So I clicked on a pic few days ago on FB and it posted darn hamsap stuff on my FB. Good thing my friend suspected something was amiss and asked me about it.

I deleted that post and thought it wouldn't happen again... and it did again. Zzzz.

Got rid of the (stupid) app, hope it works!

Now really, I don't go around FB posting sick stuff. -__-

Election fever, on!

Sorry, that's about the best photo I can give you since the EC has said it's illegal to post pictures of the actual ballot paper online. Yes, I have two ballot papers with me right now, one with Chew Hoong Ling (MCA) vs Tony Pua (DAP) and the other with Liew Wei Beng (Independent, my former RA president) vs Lim Choon Kin (MCA) vs Yeo Bee Yin (DAP).

Any guesses on who will win? =P Based on the turnout for the ceramah that I attended last night, it's pretty clear cut, always has been for my area anyway. Well, except for one year...

I'm pretty excited for May 5th 2013. Nothing complicated about my job but it's the excitement of being a part of an extremely important event in my beloved country.

Will be attending a big ceramah tonight in Subang - the people whom I really wanna hear will be there!

Election in Malaysia has never been this exciting. Take care people, and vote wisely!

P.S. Yesterday's newspaper had a "duh" headline. "Najib Condemns Killing of Customs Deputy DG". Oh, really? -__-

SS

Heylo,
That's me with my ENORMOUS carrot. =) Prepared for a project today, my friends and I have to conduct a session with a bunch of kindergarten kids this Monday. Had a good time fooling around with the rest in my house! Preparing for our session meant we had to create animal masks, sing songs (I wanna play my guitar to add to the liveliness! Nothing beats live music :)) and practice a simple sketch from one of my favourite childhood stories, "The Enormous Turnip".. but we changed it to "The Enormous Carrot".

That aside, I made nearly RM500 in the past two days. But it was darn hard work and I'm sooo glad I didn't land the permanent job for it (was merely replacing a friend who couldn't do it for the past few days). To make things simple, I worked as a mystery shopper. Won't go into details cause I myself don't approve of what I'm doing for this job. =P However, it required me travelling around the whoooole of PJ, and I spent nearly 8 hours travelling around yesterday. From Kota Damansara to Taman Dato' Harun to Sri Damansara to SS9 to PJS to Sunway to good ol' familiar SS3 to even more familiar SS26... *pheeeew*. By 6pm I was rounding SS3 to finish off my rounds, and totally exhausted. SS3 reminded me of my form 4/5 English Lit tuition days... and for some reason (I can't recall what), I used to eat western food in one of the coffee shops there pretty frequently with friends in the more recent years. Now, for the life of me I can't recall why we used to want to eat there so often.

My Subang friend asked me to explain why PJ was soooo complicated and disordered with the SS's all over. I'm sorry, I really can't tell you why. I can point out most of the SS's to you if you'd like me to, anyway. =P They are scattered all over PJ! SS3 is facing SS1, SS 5 is nearby SS1/SS3, SS4 is nearby SS2, SS2 is massively huge and is nearby SS22, SS23, SS24, SS25, SS26...

OH.

I just remembered. Geez. SS12-SS19 is in Subang Jaya! For goodness sake, Subang is just as messed up laaah. SS20-SS26 suddenly returns to PJ again. I usually have to travel allllll the way to SS14 to get Leia's food since that's the only supplier in Malaysia that provides Canidae. Haha. Not that far la. It's just ironical that I have to travel all the way there when there are sooo many petstores nearby home.

Don't know if SS27 belongs to PJ or not...

Ok, enough about addresses. Suffice to say, I've completed that job, just waiting for my money now, and I'm gonna concentrate on uni after this. =D

I had the WEIRDEST dream last night, vivid and detailed and I remember everything about it. T'was a long dream too! Haha it was a pleasant dream though. :-) I woke up feeling happy!

Hmmm... today I received news that my former schoolmate's mom was stabbed to death while hiking with her family at Bukit Gasing... robbery. It's so tragic and I'm feeling sad and frustrated over it. As I was talking to another friend... disease, sickness, and even accident... these are different issues. But murder? It's hard to accept. At a place we are all familiar with too.. How many times have I hiked up Gasing?? It was a shock to all of us who are so used to Gasing... :(

Just, really, be safe and take care.

God bless,
Jo

No one told me..

No one told me that removing stitches would hurt like $%&!@#!

I bit my lips and suppressed the screams coming out of my mouth as the doc removed the stitches in my foot today. :-O

After that he did more cutting of my foot (I officially have the common viral wart/verucca vulgaris and can become the world's first tree woman) and I controlled my urge to snatch my foot away from his hands.

I now have a deep, raw hole in my foot and I'm darn disgusted by it. -___- It hurts to walk and I've no idea when I can return to exercising, gym, badminton, running, and everything I usually do. Zzz.

Apart from that, I've returned from Cambodia yesterday and I've seen the light.

I'm gonna be an officer for election! *Excited*

Tired,
Jo
