Why did I sign up for all this mess? It is now called a mess because it's messy and I'm all messed up and I'm lost in this mess! I begin to question the path that I'm taking now and I know that I can only go forward, no U-turns. Life is full of unnecessary material things like a Master's Degree, a so-called famous job and being established. What's the point of having all these? MONEY. Yes that ka-ching that makes people slave themselves doing stupid things. I'm tired of all these. Just this morning, I told Hon that I'm tired of all these things. I do not get to enjoy my 20s. How sad is that? Oh wait suddenly 'Paul's Case' pops into my mind. Shit. Don't want to be like him. I want to happily earn some money and go traveling during the break. How hard is that? Yes, it's hard for me considering the peanut pay that I'm earning and the huge amount of workload knocking on my door, tapping on my table, sitting on my chairs... aaaaahhhh! I want some peace. How? Not sure. Buy a new gadget maybe. MP3, laptop, ipad Hahaha.
@$#&^* How do I sign out?

Surreal
I have unfinished business and here I am, finding time to blog about something. Whee~~ I think I'm losing track of time and day and almost everything that seems important but not really important things to me. I'm actually paying my friend to do my assignment for me this semester. How pathetic is that! Sometimes we have to find ways to make things work.
CNY is almost coming to an end, tomorrow's Chap Goh Mei, also Chinese V-Day. It's going to be a really ordinary and dull day for me cos I'll be having a test that evening. Maybe I can have a happy and sweet lunch with my Hon! Kakaka.
I had a mysterious and surreal encounter the day I came back to KL. An old man of about 60 approached me. He was trying to strike a conversation with me. And I really tried my best to ignore him, but he still kept on talking. Of all people... why me? Don't know why. So he was yapping away about his children and hometown. So I got to know that he's from Kuching and a businessman in Brunei. The freakiest thing was that he said that he wanted to make me his god-daughter. Holy shit! For real? You're just a bloody stranger! So I just laughed and jokingly told him to tell my father. Sheesh! So we went into the waiting area and he asked me to look after his bag while he went to the toilet. I said ok. Silly, right? There might be something bad inside that bag!
So he came out... finally. And he sat two seats next to me. He handed me an angpow. I was shocked. I know I'm not supposed to feel so but I was! I said no... and he insisted. He said it's still CNY. I said no and he insisted. It happened for a while and a few people sitting across us were looking. So out of Paise-ness, I took it and said thanks. Many things crossed my mind when I took the angpow. First, what was he thinking? Second, was he expecting anything in return? Third, how could he assumed that I'm his god-daughter now? I didn't even said yes.
So before boarding, I went to the toilet and out of curiosity, I checked the angpow. I opened it. Eh? Not Agong's head. A Chinese man's head. RMB? Don't know. So I pulled it out and it was a Singapore Dollar. $50! I was shocked. That's equivalent to a hundred plus! So I went out and acted normal. Bla bla bla, we arrived and he went off.
The whole event seems like a puzzle. I really don't know what was he thinking. Could it be just a friendly approach or was there something sinister? Hmm...

Happy Chine$e New Year
It's 2 days before CNY and here I am in my office loading ANTM & GLEE while doing some marking. This place seems haunted! It's so quiet and peaceful and only 2 or 3 souls are walking around. I like!! The horrible sight and terrible stench of those students are finally gone for at least a week hahaha. While watching my fave dramas, I'm munching on cashew nuts that I bought last week. And for a split moment, it brought me back to the time when I'll stuff myself with food round the clock - CNY time. I'm looking forward for a CNY loaded with food to eat and my aim is to finish my other people's food as well LOL.
Finally the Sun is out after a few days of hiding behind those clouds. So I'm putting my slipper outside my office to sun it. When was the last time I did that? Hmm... never. It's a good day to take a walk outside and I'm going to do that in a few minutes - walk to the toilet as slowly as I possibly can to take all the Vit D in.
Have a joyful Chine$e New Year everyone. May u$ all be ble$$ed with lot$a *Ka Ching*
