OMG...!!! I can't believe I just did that...!!! I have just watched 2 movies back to back yesterday, alone.

Yes, I did that. Actually, I never did that before because basically I think that people who go out alone is pathetic, and I officially am.This is the price I have to pay as an ASASIan. Others are still studying or even preparing for their final exam, but here I am boring myself out by just doing nothing at home.

Before I went to watch the 2 movies, I called KFC Putatan and asked them about my application. I went there and they told me that they really need more people to be crews because the people who used to be crews are now no longer there simply because most of them quit to continue their study. I was just being frank with the supervisor, saying that I only have 3 months before I continue my study in the degree level. She asked me why do I want to work in KFC because I'm such an intelligent person (not so sure about that). I told her that I've never worked before so this would be an opportunity for me to grab more experience.

She said that she'll call me again on Thursday or Friday because they currently don't have the uniform in their stock, so they'll practically hire me as one of the crews once they have the uniform. She said that they'll help me apply for a Public Bank account for monthly salary and EPF as well. Hopefully the uniform will arrive as soon as possible so I can get to work immediately. I'm so happy...!!! This time, for real...!!!

Once I settled my errands at KFC, I quickly went to the city. I arrived at the Center Point and the first thing that came up to my mind once I stepped at the entrance door was finding YoYo cafe and get its one of a kind Pearl Tea. Got it for RM3.30. While waiting for my tea to be prepared, I enjoy the sight of all the hot people who work there. They're all Chinese, and I seldom find Chinese attractive (even though I went through primary school hanging around Chinese people).

I went to the Palm Square, sit at the nearest seat available to Starbucks. I turn my WiFi on in my SE G705, and stumbled upon a status update by Iman saying that we need to check for the interview thingy. This is actually the non-academic interview, if we applied for the course that needed the candidates to be interviewed. All my UPU applications only revolve around TESL and linguistics courses, which means no non-academic interview required. By the way, good luck for those who's going for the interview.

I quickly went to Cathay Cinneplex, the best quality cinema in Kota Kinabalu, but too bad people don't come here so often during the day. There were only 4 people in the cinema including myself.

The first movie I watched was "How to Train Your Dragon". I find it enjoying and I somehow touched by the story. Well, this is me. I often and easily get touched by any movie that I watched now. Okay, I hate to admit this but my tears fell down from my cheeks when I watched Transformers 2 last year. I like this movie very much, I just love the bond between Hiccup and Toothless.

The next movie I watched was "Clash of the Titans". I know this is quite weird, but I find this movie less entertaining than "How to Train Your Dragon". Even though the CGI effect was superb, the surround sound effect was also amazing, but it was not as good as I thought it would be. The only thing that I love about this movie was the way they portrayed Medusa. It was fantastic. Though I would appreciate more if the Olympian gods to have less facial hair. For instance, the Olympian gods in "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief". They portrayed the gods way much better. We can barely confuse which god is which because of the portrayal they showed. Gods, lose the facial hair please so we can recognize you better.

Once I finished watching these movies, I went out. Then suddenly there was a stranger called be from behind. I stopped and looked at him, astonished. He told me that he lost his car key and he needed to get home to get the spare key. He was embarrassingly asked me if I could give him some cash because he has no money left. At first I didn't believe him but I thought that what if that thing happened to me instead, where I don't have anymore money and nowhere to go. I felt pity for him, so I gave him RM7 so he can go wherever he needed to get his spare key. I got rid of him, good riddance...!!! He gave me his phone number so he can pay me back by topping up my phone later. I don't really mind if he doesn't pay back anyway. I'm just glad that I could help him.

Okay. I'm so exhausted from my day out and I feel a little bit fatigue because I had to walk all the way from Cathay Cinneplex to the bus terminal which was like walking from Section 2 to Plaza Alam Sentral. So, I need to get some rest.

Bye...!!!

Before we get down to the topic, let's review a few things first. Actually Alyaa tagged me in one of her latest posts and asked me to list out 10 things that I love. For the time being, I only got 3 things in my mind. So, I'll have to think about the other 7 more and post a blog entry about it.

Moving on, I went out today. What for? Job hunting, again. Yep, since the job at McDonald's was somehow unavailable (or they simply don't wanna take me), I went to Putatan today and submitted my application at Burger King and KFC. I have my hopes up this time because both Burger King and KFC seemed like they need new crews immediately. But same all-same all with McDonald's saying that they needed new crews immediately but still not calling for me to be as one their crews. Let's hope that everything will go smoothly, and I'll have more option to choose from.

So, now we're down to the topic above. The result was out earlier today, thanks to Arshad for telling us through Facebook. I've been checking the student's portal everyday and the results finally came out on the day where I didn't check them. I was still at KFC at the time, Facebooking via my Sony Ericsson G705 using KFC's WiFi. I was shocked to know that they have keyed in our result, because yesterday the database in the student's portal was still our last semester's result.

I got on a mini bus. This time the bus was making me more and more nervous because the driver needed to refill the gas and he had some trouble at the counter and I was at the gas station for 15 minutes. As I arrived at my home, I quickly went upstairs to my room, turn on my laptop. As the system loaded to turn on, my heart was throbbing like it was gonna fall out of my chest.

I double clicked on Mozilla Firefox, and entered the student's portal address. I just couldn't bare with the nervousness anymore. Then I entered my student ID and there it was. Kablam Dabush! My results...!!! I was seriously flabbergasted with my own result. I never expected to have 3.54 pointer. I never imagined to have that kind of result, to be above 3.5 pointer. I was only hoping to stay above 3 flat because of IES. In my previous posts, I mentioned how bad I answered IES, plus I was not really that committed with this course, I didn't do well in my test, my hafazan but I sure did my very best in my presentation, it's what I do best. And I finally got A- for IES. I'm still in my concussion state. But I'm so happy...!!!

I'm so grateful with my result. It shows that I don't give a damn whether my family has crisis or not because I was in my exam when my family crisis reached its climax. I'm so relieved that I was not affected by family crisis.

OMG...!!! How I wish I have this kind of cake for my upcoming birthday. Well it's just gonna be another dream that won't come true.

Before that, I would like to wish Happy 11th Birthday to my youngest sister, Masyitah Zulaikha. It's her birthday today and guess what? We're not celebrating. Why? Because my family is practically broke. Due to my Dad's lack of attention to the family and more attention given to a violent woman which threatened to call her gang if my Dad ever call her again, we're facing bankruptcy (money spent for her). My Dad got into a really nasty fight at a night club with that woman (which used to be his mistress) which involved knife thingy (cause of fight unknown), they broke up. But I won't be celebrating the end of their affair yet because they've been broken up many times already and they still get back together. I guess my Dad's love life is way more complicated than mine.

Well, back to the topic (sorry for digressing). It was such an unfortunate event as my sister won't be celebrating her 11th birthday. As for me, it's nothing new. People might find this odd, but going through 18 going on 19 years of my life, I only celebrated my birthday twice. The first one they got me a "congkak", and the second one my Mom gave me some money so I can find my own cake at the bakery. Yeah, birthday is not our thing. At least, not for my family. I see all my cousins celebrate their birthday every year, having a feast every time the day comes. But not for my family.

I don't know why but my parents never seem to care about their children's birthday. Maybe it's just an indicator that their children get another year older. Yes, they remember the dates and wish us happy birthday, but never a celebration.

It moves me to see my friends celebrating their birthdays. I can't help but to envy them. Birthday seems to be so meaningful to others but not to my family, apparently. Well, being the "black sheep" in the family (the good way) made me different from other members of my family. I would really love to celebrate my birthday. Getting presents from friends and family, or maybe even a surprise party. But all of that only dwell in my fantasy because it will never happen.

As I get older, I feel the need to be loved more and more. Apparently, I don't get that from my family. As if we were obligated to love one another because we are family. There's no such affection and expression of love. I never feel the love in this house. That explains why I love spending time with my friends. Yet, I still feel empty.

I feel sorry for my sister because her 11th birthday will be meaningless as it is just another ordinary day. I didn't really care about birthday either when I was small, but as I get older I feel sorry for my childhood because there was no such memory, and I can't help feeling sorry for myself (no sympathy intended). If I had the power, I wouldn't want my younger siblings to face whatever things that I have faced, but what can I do?

If my family were not to be bankrupt, I don't think we're gonna have a celebration anyway. I have foreshadowed that the very same thing will happen on my birthday. At least, I will get birthday wishes from my friends on Facebook. Not so bad, huh?

STReSS ouT...!!!

It feels really bad when you can't even be 100% honest in your own frigging blog! I tell you what, there have been a lot of things that I've been keeping to myself, or at least to me and my close friends.

I am an honest person and I am also loud, literally. But as loud as I am, I don't like controversy. That's why there are lots of things I keep inside, not literally inside but at least I don't publish them on my blog.

If you really know me, I'm a type of person that doesn't have any secret in me. I'm actually stripped naked to everybody. I can never have any problems keeping anyone's secret, but I have trouble keeping mine. I just need to tell people about myself. That's why when I told my deepest, darkest, big fat secret to some of my close friends, it's like the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulder.

Sometimes, I'm not even allowing myself to be too honest to my friends because I need to consider their feelings. I can't just simply tell them a little piece of my mind everywhere. But one thing for sure, when you ask about my opinion, I will not hesitate to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth.

Being alone at home most of the time, made me realize how stress out I am not being able to be 100% honest, even to my blog. Am I having a problem...???
