It finally seems to be changing!! Slowly, slowly but so far, I have been abit more luckier than usual.
After a few months of searching for a job, I finally managed to obtain one, with a good telecommunication company that is on the up. The rules and job are hard, but the pay is good.
I just hope my luck holds on, and get my ahead with my job.

The stupid people in banks today 2.
Its been 13 days since the damn bank direct debited money out of my account for an investment program that I did not agree it. So went all the way back to bank, and asked them to refund it..only to have to wait for 2 days cause the officer in charge was out and she didnt even call me back.
So finally after the 2 days, i went to the bank personally, and the lady was not in, so i waited for half an hour. Finally met her, and would you believe it? I was forced to filled out alot of forms to get my money, which the bank took without my consent or forms!! So the bank takes my money just like that, but in order to refund it to me, I must fill in dozens of forms?! Doesnt sound fair does it?
Anyways, after all that, my money was supposed to be banked in...but guess what, it still is not. And now that I am working normal office hours, where am I gonna find the time to head over to the bank and get it back?
I Would be so damn happy if the banks were efficient in all ways, especially when they make a mistake cause all i am notice from my experience is that, when they screw up, they will not admit it until you notice, and they will give you their 5 cents worth of apology which does not mean much, and take so much time to refund your money they took!!!
ahhh...banks. cant live with them, cant live without them.

Work Work Work And More Work
Recently I landed myself a job at one of the biggest telecommunications company over here. I am currently going thru a month training schedule...and let me say, it is extremely hard!
There is so much of data and process to remember, and I kid you not, the amount is really out of this world, and we have only 30 days to remember before we are expected to handle the customers. It does not help that any mistake is unacceptable and may/will lead to an immediate dismissal so it means walking a really thin tight rope. it explains as well, why the turn over is extremely big and abit unreasonable for a company this size.
But hey, work is work. and as much as I am overwhelmed with the amount of work, the pay is quite good, so I am working hard to keep myself in line and in work!

20 Lines NOT to use when a cop pulls you over!
The top 20 things not to say to a cop when he pulls you over.
20. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
19. Sorry officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
18. Aren't you the guy from the village people?
17. Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me, good job.
16. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer.
15. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
14. Bad cop. No donut.
13. You're not going to check the trunk, are you?
12. Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence.
11. Didn't I see you get your butt kicked on cops?
10. Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?
9. I pay your salary!
8. So uh, you on the take or what?
7. Gee officer, that's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning.
6. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
5. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other cars around, that's how far they are ahead of me.
4. What do you mean have I been drinking? You are the trained specialist.
3. Well, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of control.

The stupid people in banks today.
why are there morons working in banks?! I didnt farking agree to invest in any scheme and yet my money was deducted. And to make me even more pissed, having a dumb fark explaining to me, that the deduction was done because it's the end of the month. Since when is the 12th of any month, the END of the month?!
When I was told bout this scheme, the lady said "I'll call you sometime this or next week to confirm if you are interested in joining" and despite no calls, the damn bank deducted my money.
Reason: End of the month. What fucking month ends on the 12th? Tell me someone please.
I'm heading to the main branch here is Subang. Lets see what they have to say then.

Choices, Choices, Choices
I am thinking of getting of a desktop pc to replace my old worn out laptop which is now 5 years old, and have been reformatted at least 4 times, been to the doctors twice, and has a dead battery.
I have been looking around and thus far, it seems that DELL is coming up much higher than the rest. I can customize the desktop, while the rest wont allow me to. Plus DELL ships it to me, so I do not have to go anywhere to find it.
And another thing, DELL's website is really up to date, while the rest websites are pretty backwards, and some, havent been updated for quite awhile!
I'm heading down to either DELL or HP now...well, I still have to decide....

Road Tax Part ONE
My car's roadtax expired on the 5th of April this year. So, I went to the bank where my grant is being kept to get it, in order to get my roadtax renewed. There the nice little lady tells me that I do not need it, the bank can arrange to get the roadtax done for a small extra charge. I thought to myself, "sound good" but let me check on the extra charges. There is a tendency for small charges to become big charges, so it is always better to check it out first.
The extra charges as explained, is $10 for the rider who does the roadtax renewal, and another $10 for the courier service to send the roadtax to the bank where I can pick it up. Estimate time of renewal 2 days max. So I paid the fees and waited. Oh yeah, another thing, I had to call the bank in 2 days time to check if the roadtax has arrived. Thats the one thing I thought was really a let down. The bank should be the one calling the owners to tell them the roadtax has arrived instead of us playing roulette by calling everynow and then to check if the roadtax arrived. Oh well, it still is a very convenient service.
So anyways, put in the renewal request on Friday Morning, and was told it will be ready by Tuesday.
It is now Friday....and guess what, my roadtax is still not ready!!
Why?
Lets see...when I got the car, I bought a ONE year insurance policy for the car, but my salesman got a 6 MONTH roadtax only. So my roadtax expired in April, and while my insurance expires in September. So by since my roadtax expires in April, it means that I only have a balance of 5 months with my insurance, so I cant get the roadtax renewed as I needed a minimum of 6 MONTHS.

Joy Sellers
I am sure you all have heard of joy bidders/buyers before, but have anyone else experienced a joy seller? I can only assume it's still happens on a smaller scale compared to the joy buyers, but it does happen.
What is a joy seller you might be asking? Well that a moron who promises to sell to you, only to later on, change his/her mind and not sell to you. There are reasons as to why this happens, some are pranks, some get better offers and some are generally asses.Let me tell you bout my experience with one.
I wanted (still want) to buy the updated version Clarion car player made for the Waja which can play MP3s, as mine had the previous model which was a normal player. The reason I wanted a Clarion version was that the controls on the steering wheel will only work on this particular Clarion model.
So I posted an ad asking anyone who wanted one, to let me know plus the price. I get a reply from this moron, Ben a few days later, and AGREE to pay $250 for the player. The only catch was I had to drive for 3 hours to his place and get it, which I was fine with. So I drive up, and waited at the agreed spot.
Then, the moron, does not answer his phone, sms and in the end swtiched his mobile off. So I had just wasted alot of petrol, 3 hours...make that 6 hours, toll fares both ways and do not forget the wear and tear of driving for 6 hours.
Next day, the moron texted me, saying he got a better offer, so he sold it to his friend. WTF, could you not have told me that before?! I didnt have to waste my time and money for nothing!!
Argh, joy sellers. This guy had no respect for his own promises and me. I wasted my time and money which I will not make back, and I did not even get an apology. If ever, I meet this guy or find him selling anything, he is blacklisted from my book, and I'll email the farking website to inform them of my experience with him!

Tenacious D - Tribute Lyrics
This is one of the songs I loved during my working days with the government. Its a classic...unlike any other songs.
Tenacious D: Tribute
This is the greatest and best song in the world. . . tribute.
Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,...
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden,
there shined a shiny demon...
in the middle...
of the road.
And he said:
"Play the best song in the world,
or I'll eat your souls."
Well me and Kyle,... we looked at each other,
and we each said...
"Okay."
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World,
it was The Best Song in the World.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two,
two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
and the grass doth grow oooh
Needless to say,
the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his whippet tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us:
"BE you angels?"
And we said,
"Nay.
We are but men
Rock!!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahn,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, No
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, No.
No!
This is a tribute, oh,
To The Greatest Song in the World,
All right!
It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right!
And it was the best mother fuckin' song,
The Greatest Song in the world!
Allllllright!
'Ti Tuga digga tu Gi Friba fligugibu Uh Fligugigbu Uh Di Ei Friba Du Gi Fligu fligugigugi Flilibili Ah
(Bow) (Bow) (Bow) (Ooh) (Bow) (Bi)
Fligu wene mamamana Sacrebleu!
(Mene) (LUCIFER)!
(guitar solo)
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song!
This is just a tribute!
You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there!
Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck!
Good God, God lovin' ,
So surprised to find you can't stop me,now.
I'm on fire
O hallelujah I'm found! Rich motherfucker compadre
(Demonic)aaaaah!
All right!
All right!

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
This is NOT a review.
I watched it last night...after finding the dvd while cleaning with my room.
I watched it for all of a good 13 minutes. Then I, took the dvd out, slided it back into it's cover and threw it into the dustbin.
Yes, the movie was that bad.
Beyond horrible. The person who made this movie, must have been blind, cause if he had taken a few minutes to review the movie, he would just burnt it, and gone home. I bet even the movie producers, executives did not bother to watch the movie before letting it be release to the general public.
Kristin Kreuk...and even Micheal Clarke Duncan could not save this movie.

Queen: Who Wants To Live On Forever Lyrics
More reminiscing...this song was made popular by the movie, Highlander. That was a great movie!
Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
Reminiscing.....and ranting bout Football!
I've been reminiscing on my old school days, which was like 13 years ago.
I started thinking bout the good old days since I met up with my old school buddies.
I had a truly good and wonderful time in both primary and secondary school. Alot of friends were made, ALOT of good memories as well.
The one thing I remember the most was that, no matter the time, we were always playing football, either in the school field or classroom. We even played football using our fingers as legs, and a paper ball on the class desk. We simply loved the game, and back then it was all about the game. We never knew how much a player made, who was the players wife or if he had an affair or a few dozens. It was all about the game...which is a far cry from today's view on the game.
For example, The Sun newspaper Malaysia, post write ups on WAGS..in the sport section. Do I look a guy who wants to know who is married to her? Has she even played the game...or even know what football is? Why is the posting/printing/write up of a WAG important to the game? As long as the player can play, thats fine by me and it does not bother me if he is married to a donkey for all I care. In fact, I think, that would interest me more that a WAG!
Plus, the amount of money being thrown around, is simply amazing. WOW...never knew a player could be worth $25 million and be known as "the glass man". Would you pay $25 million for even a statue made of glass? +HINT: YES, IT BREAKS EVER SO EASILY!!+ Jeez, you think, how many children who are without food and water that we could feed on $25 million...and it makes you wonder, what the hell was someone thinking?!
Football....great game, but too many hands are surely spoiling the game, taking the focus off field and into the unknown, the unwanted, the wasted. The focus should be on the game, and the game, and not the damn wife, what car the player drives, where their children goes to school, where they stay, how much they make, how much they drink, how many affairs/sex scandals they have, how many they spend on holidays, where they go for holidays, what they do when they are at home, what they do in the toilet, etc etc etc.
Jeez, it's ONLY the game that I am interested in!

Its April.....and I'm way behind in my posting..again!
3 post for March...and mostly then it was one liners.
I really gotta buck up and really start posting more interesting stuff, and more frequently..instead of one or two posts every now and then.
Ahh...I really do need to get motivated!
