Bimbo parking

This is how it happened..

We inserted the parking ticket and then "rebate" hotel voucher (which enables a flat parking rate of RM 4), and this is how much they demanded

Edit: the pic says RM 27

Checked the "rebate" coupon, it says: Expire at 16:00

Checked the watch, it says: 4.20 pm

CRAP! just 20 minutes...

Haha... LOOK!

It's HIM!!
Thanks girlies! I love it, love it, love it...

Thanks neighbour. Indeed, it will be an inspiration and a reminder of the days ahead. Thanks for being a car-pool partner (we did Mother Earth a favour but it was the zany conversations and company to uni during those mad mad 4 years that i cherish most) and most importantly a great friend!

Was truly surprised too to hear from some of my friends whom I did not know they knew (hehe) or remembered. I am truly touched.

I realised that I am indeed truly blessed to be surrounded by these people whom I had crossed path with and have the privilege to call them as my friends.

SPA interview

The SPA interview is over!! Phew...





SPA means Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam. I am to embarked on my 1+3 compulsory government service. Like any other job, you need to go for an interview. So basically, SPA interview is as simple as a job interview complicated by the fact that I am ignorant to the Parliament happenings.





The day before was extremely stressful.. I actually thought it was much more stressful than preparing for finals.
It's kinda funny. I was initially very relax until i hear stories that they ask questions. Things like 9MP, ecomomic plans, and those politic stuff which to a scientifically trained student would sound like Urdu. Like why on earth am I being asked about that? That's not pharmacy...!!


See.. we are that narrow..

So hence the night before I was plopped in front of the internet reading the 9MP, finding out who are the ministers, whether they are Yang Berbahagia or Yang Berhormat, or Yang AMAT Berhormat, trying (but failed) to memorize visions and missions of respective bodies.. learning about the Parliament, Rukun Negara (which thanks to WL, i didn't know it was more than those 5 lines.. hehe)... basically a very patriotic night for me and if i were a chameleon, i would end up having the Jalur Gemilang all over my body already.

Arrived at Putrajaya the next day and everyone was so jittery. I tell you, this is the worst! It's even worse than piano exams! The waiting was horrible.

Then i realised something. This is so weird and mad. I looked around and realised that we were the only mad ones there holding notes.. yes, notes.. and chanting whereas other people (who are there for other positions) were looking dead bored. Talk about stressing yourself out! Hehe.

Come 8 am, it claimed its first victim. We watched the digital clock on the wall... 8.10... 8.15... 8.18.. finally, KV walks out.. telling us the interviewers are friendly and it's not that bad.. some relief..

Me number was 0808 (someone said can go buy 4D). haha. I was the 8th in row. Everyone came out of the room stating one common question, how are the laws in Malaysia passed? and what happens if the Agong disagrees with it? So it's true, they DO ask these kinda questions.

So when it was my turn, the same question was thrown to me and the guy said wow, you guys seem very rehearsed with that answer. you must be discussing outside from the way i hear you answer...

Crap!

But all in all, it was okay.. they said i was in there for a long long time.. but it doesn't feel so when you are inside. They are nice people. Really..

So hopefully I didn't screw up.

As HY said, they will not fail you because they need people to work in the hosp.. haha

I hope she is right *fingers crossed*

What were you thinking???

i like Bocelli

get the hint??

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now, this is really bugging me.

There are times when impulse took over you and you make really really impulsively stupid decisions. And when you realised what crap you've gotten yourself into and want to really kick yourself hard in the teeth, it's too late. you just have to go through the garbage dump you've gotten yourself into and hope that the next time, you are firm and able to resist the impulsive bug.

Today is one of those days filled with "what on earth were you thinking, Charis?"

The thing that makes me deserve a kick is that I knew how is it going to turn out.. and yet i dive into it. What is wrong with me?

Was i actually stupid enough to think that a change is possible?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I can't believe I hung out with someone the other day and when we were left alone, it was silence all the way..

Amazing to my standards.

Haha

because the person was so frigging boring, i couldn't be bothered.
