Renewed

Lesen Memandu Malaysia
(Malaysian Driving License)

No. K. P....
RUMPUT
Tempoh: 20/04/2009 - 19/04/2010

Yes. I have gotten my new license. It no longer has the letter P on the left corner next to the Jalur Gemilang. Am I full-fledged competent driver now? Hell no. Haha. But I'm not that incompetent. I am a mediocre driver. Boleh tahan la. Kadang-kadang main belasah gak jalan. Hehe.

As you can see, my license will only last for 1 year. This is because I renewed it earlier. My probation license does not expire until the 19th which is a Sunday which also means that it's a holiday. So that's why I renewed it earlier. It costs my mom RM 30. Hehe...yeah she paid for it of course. Oh, and I had to take a picture for the new license and I must say I don't look good. Oh well, I'll get a new one in a year. Oh wait, I still have 7 unused pics. We can't let them go to waste now can we? Oh and it comes with a small cd so I won't have to take more pictures in the future. Great. I'll look hideous for God knows how many years.

PS: I now know how to get to Bandar Tasik Permaisuri via Jalan Ikan Ayu.

KPI...Ring a bell?

A word caught my eye while I was scanning the front page of today's The Star. I'd just reached home from my hostel and as usual served my father tea along with whatever kueh he'd bought (lately it has been goreng pisang and cucur keledek) before plopping myself on one of the chairs at the dining table to read the newspaper.

On the page is of course the media's agenda of the day, Najib's new cabinet line-up. Although I am interested in this bit of news (I am actually quite fond of politics although my knowledge on the subject is rather limited), I was actually drawn to this 3 lettered word that is printed on the newspaper. The familiarity of the word caught me by surprise that I actually felt quite happy because...well, I know what that word means. Haha. Look at me. Getting all excited over a bloody word. What a nerd... or should I say 'geek'? Miss Kedah and Madu Berdarah has taken the liberty of calling me 'geek' because I am usually the last to leave the examination hall among the 3 of us. What a compliment.

Right, so the word. The word that got me psyched was 'KPI'. Haha. Well to the uninitiated, KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator. Those of you who are with me in PR Principles would of course know this. Thank you Ms Vaneetha for your highly animated teaching style. I remember things easier.Haha. Anyway, KPI is a measurable indicator of your organization's etc. progress towards achieving your mission. So basically Najib will be focusing on the performance of his band of army which I think is a very good move. Whoever is not doing their job would have to pick up the slack or risk getting the boots. Yes, I know I sound pro- Najib at the moment. Haha.What can I say, I'm quite the optimist. My friends absolutely despise him though. I've been hearing many, many ugly things about him but you know what? I'm just going to wait and see what he has in store for us. Anticipation is fun, no?

*By the way, I am still not satisfied with how I answered my PR paper. Bang! Bang! Ba-get-ty Bang! Bang! Bang... Bang... Hehe

Don't wait till 6 years. Marry the man while he's still crazy about your beauty... We will love you later on...

Change is Inevitable

Change is inevitable.
It can either be horrible or pleasurable
and is not always predictable.

Change is inevitable.
I can only hope that
it will be bearable.

The Earth and Some 2 Lunatics

Earth Hour

So... Earth Hour was yesterday. Haha. Of course it was. What a lame way to start an introduction.

(Note to self: Need more practice. Write more essays maybe?Sheesh.)

Anyway, yeah so how was it for you guys? Did you all camped in the dark or you just could't care less? Haha.To tell you the truth, I didn't expect much from my family although I was supportive of the idea of 'conserving the energy'. But lo and behold, the lights in my house were switched off for an hour thanks to my youngest sister. How she'd managed to persuade my grandma is beyond me but kudos to her. I was out shopping for groceries with my mother at Tesco where I bumped into one of my friend's family members who also took part in the 60 minute campaign. "We switched of the lights and left the house," said my friend's mom. Well, good on you Aunty!
(Note to Dr Penyu: It was your mom hehe). My other sister was out celebrating this total darkness day with her buddies at a field or something. One of her friends couldn't go out (ahem...protective parents hehe) so they decided to hangout at a field near the friend's place and ordered Domino's! Ain't that sweet.

Year 1 Sem 2


Well, so far so good as far as studying is concerned. I am not overly stress or anything although the thought of having exams in 2 weeks time and a possibility of failing a subject(or more) is there. No! No! Must stay positive. Perserverance will be rewarded with success! Okay, where did that come from? Must be the caffeine. I haven't had breakfast actually and it's already 9.35 am. So passed my breakfast time. Haha.

A couple of my friends (yes, I don't have that many friends haha) have also been really busy which means we didn't get to hang out as much. So most of the time I lepak with this crazy friend of mine, Miss Kedah. This girl has quite a lot of interesting but not necessarily beneficial ideas in her head which I have no problems complying to. Haha.

We actually walked from our campus back to our hostel. Ok, sounds so ordinary right? Well, it took us 2 hours. Yeah...who would've thought Desaria was that far. It was fun despite the the Sun's powerful glare and the rain's warm droplets pouring down on us. Luckily we both had umbrellas. We also stopped at Kedai Leha where Miss Kedah bought popsicles for the both of us and we had them in the rain underneath our umbrellas of course. (Note: The only reason she belanja me was because they merely cost a few cents. Haha) And of course we got 'publisiti murahan' from Taxi Uncles and 'Lori sampah'. They must think we're lost or crazy or something because we were the only ones walking beside the road.

6.4km left to Desaria


The naked lorry

But it was really fun la. We even saw wild animals, a biawak and a small cicak with a very long tail(lol...wild?) in the drain. Now, you can't possibly encounter a- soon- to- be- endangered- species- in- god- knows- how- many- years- time if you take the bus can you? By the way, the biawak had a really funny way of running. Totally erm... unique. Ok, let's not insult the reptile. It's not like I can do a catwalk(Irrelevant, I know).
