So, I have a 9x9 wall right in the middle of my rectangular space in my apartment which holds my living-dining-dry kitchen; in that order. I've been changing my thoughts on what I want for that wall a few times now and currently, this is what I think I want.
The wall, instead of olive green, I want it in red.
Plus black gothic chandelier.
The dining set that I've bought is similar to the one shown but not exactly the same.
Would this be too bold?
Would I be able to get those glass tiles here?
Can I afford them?
I have been thinking whether I should continue with my Tuesday Latin class because I was looking for a technique class while the class is mainly a beginners class. Then on the last class, the teacher actually did some technique. Now I'm wondering, yet again, if I should continue.
Yes! Application for withdrawal approved. Cash was in my account within a week.
Literally ... A WEEK! Shockers from a government section, don't you think?
Well, I was pleasantly shocked when I saw the amount.
So, now all I've gotta do is wait for confirmation from my contractor uncle on when he's able to start on my apartment.
Oh yeah, I'll need to get the form back from him to pass to the apartment management for approval. So mah fan to renovate your own place! Urgh!
So near yet so far. Was already there at the counter.
Copies of documents ... CHECK Original S&P .... CHECK Original bank loan offer letter ... CHECK I/C ... CHECK Bank book ... CHEc... er ... where is it? Where did it go??? I don't remember taking it out of the application envelop. It should be in there!!!
But it's not.
Praying hard that it's at home! If it is, I will go for Attempt 2 tomorrow morning. *fingers crossed*
Well, definitely not what the lady did! Actually, other than not being able to reach her destination at the pre-supposed time or not being able to afford a transfer to the next flight, I don't know why the woman would go about as she did.
I couldn't wholly understand what she was crying out. What I hear was ...
Lady: (a bunch of cries) Why wouldn't they let me in? (more intelligible cries) Ground staff: Not to worry, we will help place you on the next flight out. Younger guy: How can you help? (Author's note: Is it cause they don't have money to pay for the transfer?) (more intelligible cries)
My experience of missing a flight was during my flight out to Amsterdam with my aunt from Liverpool airport. We were actually early to the airport and about 30 minutes early at the security check leading to the boarding gates. Little did I know, that past the doorway of the initial security check, is a flight of stairs leading to the security scans. There was already a substantially long queue towards the doorway and the queue continues through the flight of stairs.
By the time that we got to the gate, we were late for boarding. Why?
We didn't cut the queue cause we didn't know it was going to take that long!
Once we've passed the doorway and was queuing along the stairs, there were no call for late passenger, or at least we couldn't hear the call and therefore, didn't know that we were late.
There are no priority lines for late passengers.
So, what could we do? We could have just grabbed our luggages and go home, or, cough up the cash and pay for a flight transfer. They staff nicely helped us do all that and thanks to my aunt for paying cause I was running low on cash. Either way, I need to get to Amsterdam because my flight back to KL is from Amsterdam.
So, we paid for the transfer, stashed our lugguages at the temporary holding area (again fork out cash) and took a bus to the nearby shopping strip and window shopped.
Therefore, as long as you are willing and able to pay for the transfer, there shouldn't be a reason to trash around like that ... would you?
Have you had a missed flight where you really felt like throwing down and start trashing on the floor like the woman did?
Darn sad!!!! Met some fellow ex-ensemble mates from PGL went I went to watch the show a few hours ago. The first thing --zoni said to me was ... yo! Why so fat?!
Darn it! Truth ... At 50kg then I was probably the skinniest that I have ever been, since quitting ballet at 15, while I was doing the show about 4 years ago? Truth ... I have gained approximately 5kg since then. Truth ... I'm only about 153cm.
I just got a call from my dance partner informing me that he might not be able to compete this Sunday. His grandfather is at his death bed and has requested for several family members to his bedside; my partner is one of those summoned.
I am quite ecstatic when I heard that (not the part about his grandpa dying-la!). Probably because practise has not been very good lately. The more we practise, the worse it seems to be. So, it might be a good thing to not compete this time.
Anyway, I've been sick the past couple days and I don't have the strength right now.
Twas another frustrating practise today. Maybe Joseph is right, we are probably currently at a rut. Our dancing doesn't feel like it's improving. I don't feel like I'm improving; in fact, I feel like the harder I try, the stiffer my dancing becomes. Stubborn and hard headed, that doesn't help. I want it my way! MY WAY!
I know I'm showing that irritating 'sei yong'. I know it. BUT ...
How do you suppress it?
When you are working in a team and is frustrated that something that you are trying over and over and over again is just not happening. How does it show on your face?
When you think you know how to fix it but your team repeatedly returns to the method that was not working. How would you feel?
When it does work the way you explained it but then as the practise goes, it eventually goes back to the drawing board; how do you put on a happy face?
Do I close my eyes and count to 5? Do I walk away? Do I just forget it and don't bother trying to fix the problem?
I've had my blackberry for the past 5 months. The most usage I get out of it is to Berry my aunt, for my bosses to contact me or tell me to get to his floor NOW for a conference call.
Then I discovered the GMail app for blackberry. That was plug-play! There was no problem with the installation at all nor did I have to go through the whole turn-off-device-take-off-the-battery debacle. (Note: There's gotta be a better way for the OS to reset!)
Two days ago, I discovered that Google has a tool to sync GCal to the berry. Oh happy day! Until I installed it. And un-installed it. And installed it. And un-installed it . For the third time, I've installed it again but it's still not working.
Login failed, due to network problems, please check your settings.
Being the berry idiot that I am, I have no clue whatsoever on what settings they might be talking about. Nowhere is it stated on google's site what sort of settings I should be looking for.
If anyone knows how to get this working, please leave me a note. In the meantime, I'd be terrorizing the CS at Maxis again. ;)
The package for the skins arrived at the hotel today. A friend and I shared the order, I ordered a skin for my laptop and one for my iPod while she ordered six iPod skins. That nutzoid! It's a buy-3-free-1 so she got two skins for free.
Anyway, was happily tearing up the package ...
But why was there only 5 items in it? I see my laptop skin and I see four iPod skins. Where was my iPod skin?
Bloody hell!
I looked into the package again wondering if I might have been temporarily blinded in the dim lighting of my hotel room.
Nothing. Craps!
Hurriedly, I went to my MSN ... damnit! She's not online. How can she not be online on such an important occasion? Plus, during business hours on a Friday? Hello?
As I waited and waited, hoping that I'll be able to catch her, I started measuring up the laptop skin against my laptop.
Urgh! Too narrow and a tad too long. At least I can do something about the length, but there's nothing I can do about the width. *sniff*
It's late and I still have to get up and go to work tomorrow. Hope my friend contacts gelaskins tomorrow about the missing orders.
I have probably taken on more that I can chew this time. The hearts been palpitating overtime and I worry all the time. Stress! Stress! Stress! What is there to do but to soldier on as best as I can. To JUST DO IT instead of thinking about it. If kena marah, so be it.
This would also be the first time that I've rejected a gig from Gerald. I'd usually say yes unless I have a prior engagement. *sigh* I don't even know why I'm doing the gigs. Must be cause it's dance and this is my small bit of professional dancing. Cause the money sure isn't anything to shout about!
So, due to the massive workload, I have not gone for a single dance practise for the pasts 2 and a half weeks, ie. since the last competition. Finally had one practise yesterday and must say, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. However, that's not to say that it was good either. There are a few more weeks before the next competition on Oct 7. Must try to make more time for some classes and practises before then.
I did take some time out to watch Sumi Jo tonight at Dewan Philharmonic Petronas. She was excellent! So so so excellent! If I could sing a quarter as well as she does, I would be a happy puppy. But that day will probably come later. Will need to actually take some singing lessons ... one fine day! Maybe after I get dumped by my dance partner again. :P
Come show your vocal prowess at this year's SongFest Singing Competition organised by The Philharmonic Society of Selangor, and you might just win some cash prizes and trophies!
There are plenty of categories to choose from - from classical to contemporary to groups.
