I'm writing this in the computer lab in Monash.

Which meant that I've started classes already!!!

Wargh.

I am SO NOT READY.

Dah la my first class was at 8.30. I snoozed off okay this morning!

But I still got here 20 minutes early.

But I kinda do miss Monash.

I'm so not missing the 8.30 am lectures, though.

Anyways, I have loads of piccies from various outings that I've had over the past fortnight(?). KLIA piccies:


With Zaty and Nat, the night Zaty flew off to Wellyland. Oh yeah, it just so happened that we were all wearing black. We are such morbid people.


With Ine, two days after sending Zaty. She went to Sydney. Dammit. I'm so jealous of them.

Company dinner piccies: Preparation for the dinner:



I was sweating like mad when we were preparing the door gifts and stuff. It was so hot. But I kinda looked good in the pictures, haha.

During the dinner:





Our entertainment for the dinner:





The fact that they're not real women kinda freaks me out. I wonder where they had the surgery for the boobs. Their lives must be quite lonely. Real guys won't want them, and I don't think a lot of girls can stand being around them. But then again, I don't know their lives. It could be something entirely different than what I think.

So last Friday they had a farewell-cum-birthday party for me and another guy in the office whose birthday fell on last Tuesday. We had this really nice cake, I think it was like chocolate cheese cake or something, and I totally love it. Yummy. Haven't uploaded the pics, so will post them up when I've uploaded them later.

So anyways, I felt like going for Carls Jr (God knows why, but I had a serious craving for Carl's Jr) so after the farewell party, Anis, I and three of our colleagues (2 women, 1 man) went to the Carl's Jr in Pavilion for a farewell dinner.

Everytime I go to Carls Jr, I will always share with Anis, because the serving is huge. It is expensive la if compared to Burger King, but I definitely think it's much more satisfying than Burger King. I LOVE the Beef Chili Cheese Fries. Just thinking about it is making me hungry.

Oh damn.

It was our colleagues' first time in Carls Jr and they were teasing Anis and I when we said we were going to share. But when they started eating, they understood why we shared. Mwahahahahahaha.

I think the five of us really let our hair down that night because we talked about all sort of nonsense. They even started teasing me with one guy in the office who is unmarried. I'm going to miss these people. Oh well. I can't have everything now, can I?

Oh, by the way, I had to go to a function yesterday, and so I had to do my hair. While doing my hair, the lady said that a lot of my hair is falling. And she said that I had to do treatment and chop off 2 inches of my hair to stop the hair from falling.

I'm damn sad because I really like my long hair. So I was whining to Anis about cutting off my hair last night and she just said, "Do you want to have long hair or go bald?"

Fine, I get the point.

But I still want my long hair.

Susah okay for me to get it this long. But I don't want to go bald.

So I'll have to go for treatment and cut off 2 inches of my hair when I have the money. Sigh. Bye bye hair.

Maybe it is time to change my hairstyle. Hmmm. I dunno.

Oh well.

Can't believe I'm back in Monash now.

Funny, but the place smells very familiar. hahaha. I've been here too long.

Bye bye people.

I'm sorry I haven't updated.

The thing is right, whenever I write a blog post, I'll take like an hour to write my post.

I love doing that!

But at this moment an hour is not a luxury that I have.

So anyways, I've posted some pictures from the OTI dinner on my Facebook page.

Take a look at the pictures for your amusement. Hehehe.

Will seriously update when I have the time. I think I could update on Friday, but I'm not promising anything.

Sorry!

Tomorrow's Valentine's Day.

Whoopee.

I totally forgot until they started playing sappy-sappy songs on radio.

Frankly, I couldn't care less if tomorrow was Valentine's because I haven't had a good night sleep in like a week and I just want to have an early night tomorrow.

I'm so so tired because I've done like 4 trips to KLIA since Friday. Will post up pictures later.

I want to go wallow now because my good friends have left me. Dammit. :-(

Currently listening to Delta Goodrem's The Guardian & I Can't Break It To My Heart

I know I haven't updated, but I had no time! So sorry! -_-'

My uncle's company annual dinner was held on the 1st of February.

It was interesting....to say the least.

Too bad I didn't have the camera because my dad took it to Australia. Cis. But then there are pictures from the company server, so maybe I'll post those up later.

All the staff had to wear nametags that night. Quite cute la actually. Mine had my name and 'Committee' on it. Teehee.

That night Anis and I were in charge of locating the staff's name tags as they registered at the counter.

Felt like it was some sort of orientation night, which was kinda what it was, since it's the first time that my uncle's company actually held something like that.

Our entertainment for the night was queer....in every sense of the word.

Because it just so happened that the committee to call on a bunch of transsexual performing group as our entertainment.

It DEFINITELY took some getting use to.

I mean, they all had BOOBS. And some had really nice legs. How unfair.

Watching them is sort of like watching a car wreck. You don't want to watch them, yet you can't take your eyes off of them.

Their performances were basically like how drag queens would perform, as in they dance and lipsync to songs la.

At first it was okay cause they were just on stage and not disturbing anybody, but during their second performance, they started going down the stage and go up to guys and did lapdances or just bump and grind against the guys.

It was a shock to the faint-hearted guys (and ladies, too).

And so when they perform the next few times, most of the guys had left their seats on the pretense of going out for a smoke, going out to the toilet or taking some more food. It was damn funny.

I went back around 12.30 am, and Anis and I went for a drive around KL just for the heck of it. I really don't get why people assume that I look like someone who will get scared driving on the road at night. I seriously have no problem driving at night. I mean, I prefer not to, but once I'm out, I'm okay. The reason I say this because every time I go out at night, people will be asking "Eh, tak takut ke drive malam-malam?" and I seriously wonder whether there's something on my face that makes people think I'm scared of driving in the dark. Funny. Do I look that fragile and vulnerable?

The next day, I went to Low Yat with Ine because she needed to buy a laptop and I ended buying this 4GB pendrive for RM53. I needed a new pendrive because my old pendrive was "abused" by the company server and is full of virus. When I saw that 4GB pendrive for RM53, I definitely snapped it up! Damn cheap, right?

Oh, my uncle is going to hold another annual dinner, this time for his company in Subang Jaya. The dinner is set for next Friday, which is the 15th. And guess who has to deal with the hotel? Yours truly.

Oh yeah, ME. And I am so not a people's person.

I'm so scared I might screw up everything!

But so far everything has gone quite smoothly. Let's hope it stays that way.

Oh, I've also had to go into the office on Thursday, which just so happened to be the first day of Chinese New Year because we were supposed to have a meeting.

Which didn't happen, by the way.

And so I had come into the office for nothing and had to go again yesterday because the meeting was reschedule to yesterday. I am so claiming overtime. Right now, I have a mountain of work that needs to be done by tomorrow morning. Basically I have to compile some data into graphs and stuff. I don't have a problem with that because I'm majoring in Econometrics in Monash and these things are basically what I've learnt in uni. For once, I am actually applying what I learn!!! Kinda reminds me of my assignments back in uni. Hahaha.

Oh, I've done two trips to KLIA in the past couple of days to see my friends off and I'm going to send two more people off tomorrow (Zaty) and Wednesday (Ine). There goes my salary. Sigh. And I'm going to be dead tired by the time all of this is over. But I don't mind, cause these are my close friends and I'm not going to see them anymore in the near future.

I feel so abandoned. :-( But maybe I'll get to join them someday. Hopefully.

Okiedokes, need to get back to my assignment work.

Toodles!

alia, your nightmare career would be as a Telemarketer

Does the very though of an impromptu speech make you sweat? Avoid making calls to strangers at all costs? Then it's no surprise that telemarketing would be your absolute career nightmare. Harassing people while they eat dinner, selling things they don't need, and asking if they would mind "answering a couple of questions"? No, thanks. You'd rather be mute.

When it comes to the workplace, making a big scene isn't exactly your forte. Instead, your perfect job would be the kind that taps into your introverted brilliance. You enjoy the opportunity to figure things out on your own. And while you sometimes enjoy working as a team, you really thrive when your gears are grinding, your mind is working, and it's all done low-key. Being on stage isn't your ultimate goal — so step away from that call center — you've got better things in mind!

Oh yeah, I would so hate being a telemarketer.

I don't know why but my internet has been super SLOW.

Like, it-would-be-faster-if-i-use-dialup slow.

It got better today, but it's still only like 80% of the normal speed.

And because of that, I still haven't finished watching this Documentary called Zeitgeist that my cousin showed to me the other day. Basically the documentary looks at some touchy-touchy subjects like Christianity and September 11. The documentary claims that it was the US Government itself that initiated the September 11 tragedy. Dunno if it's true or not, but it is quite interesting. Personally, I'm not surprised if the US government were behind the attack. Stranger things has happened before.

Oh, the company is going to have their annual dinner next week in Kelab Darul Ehsan. Last time I had a function there was for my Standard 6 prom, which was so last milennium. Hahaha. Finally I got to use that line!

Oh My God, Alia, you are so LAME.

So anyways, apparently my uncle himself was the one who wanted the annual dinner to be held in KDE. And I'm actually quite happy la because it means that I don't have to drive into the jungle that is known as KL city.

What's incredible is that all of this was decided last Thursday, and the dinner is going to be on next Friday, which gives the committee around, let's see, a WEEK to plan everything.

Oh yeah.

And somehow, Anis and I were roped into being on duty on the day.

Anis and I are basically going to be "receptionists" and basically register everyone as they come and show them their seats, etc, etc.

Apparently they decided on that during their meeting. which Anis and I DID NOT attend, mind you, and so we had no say whatsoever in this matter.

Anis and I would love to think that we're put there because we're pretty, but we know that this is some sinister plot that they've concocted to bully us because we have not been bullied in the three weeks that we've been working because we have had the 'protection' of our aunt and uncle and only at this dinner Anis and I will be vulnerable.

OK, so I jest.

Now, not only will I have to find a dress and shoes to go with it, but I will be forced to put on a smile and look pretty the whole night. Blargh.

I don't like to smile and look pretty. Because I'm bad at both. Hahaha.

Dah la they might want to go karaoke-ing after that.

I like singing, but I don't like singing in public! The only time I sang during karaoke was when I was in PD. and that was with the family, so that doesn't count!

Oh well, I guess there's a first time for everything, right?

Here's to hoping that I don't screw up (majorly) on Friday!

HOW THE HELL DID ARSENAL MANAGE TO LOSE 5-1 TO SPURS?

IDIOTS.

And I can't believe Heath Ledger's dead. He was so young!

He had a small daughter some more! :(

We shared the same birthday, by the way.

R.I.P, Heath.
