Resumes.. And page loading time!
I might not have said this on my blog before, but everytime I edit my resume I get frustrated.
The most time-consuming part of it is fitting the related topics into 1 page, making it look NEAT. Also, the spacing (so it won't look so crammed up)!
On another note, this blog is taking more time to load now. ARGH. I should just take away some stuff on the (left) side. I'll be turning this page into a pure blog [ and not a blog@website anymore - if ur confused, nevermind. ;) ]. Yeap, hope this post will remind me to do so. We shall depend on me (remembering to do so), to try and help reduce my blog's loading time!!
Some couples just fit into each others' lives quite easily. Sure they still need to work on things to be happy, but it's just easier for them to feel SO connected, compared to others. And then, there are others (which I presume are the most of us), who have to work extra hard to finally reach a stage where we think we're ready to commit our lives together for a very long time (I'm talking about marriage for those who don't believe in divorce).
Although MY & I do click, sometimes, I feel that there are still things we need to work on. But by him being far away (and a typical guy from Mars), I find it difficult to be done!! Long story. Sometimes he's so engrossed in his own thing, he unknowingly neglects me. Or may be it's because I'm too nice to him! =P   Anyhoo, it gets so frustrating sometimes! -- [If ur a girl, u can imaging HOW frus it can become! - it's less intense for a guy, i think. Because his mind is simpler in certain ways, especially the emotions part] BTW, can someone gimme a better word for "his mind is simpler"?
I don't know the purpose of this blog entry, but yea, I get so FRUSTRATED sometimes, and I feel like I've given so much! And yet, he fails to do me small favours (or little gestures) to validate his feelings towards me OR show his appreciation for what I gave / my efforts towards our relationship. He doesn't need to measure up to every small little things I did, but I do need reassurance (example: him going outta his way for small (personal) gestures EVERY now and then)!
If u think I didn't already tell him all these, I did~~! As a matter of fact, I directly tell him (I don't hint, I tell it straight to his face, with examples!). I do that on & off (but sometimes he says I repeat them often - seeing that we have been together for some years now. =P)... He's such a stubborn old man! =P
I wish someone told me a long-term relationship wouldn't be so nerve-wrecking! But that's NEVER going to happen. *sobs*. I am trying to constantly remind myself of his need of space (to retreat or whatever), and etc. But why doesn't he remember to gimme the things I said I need and not what he thinks I need???
So much to say. This is just a small fraction of what is on my mind. And since it's late now (and I feel better now, after blogging), I think I can sleep now. ;)
Vouchers' Validity... Parenting... Secular Malaysia
Remember the Dining Vouchers I "won"? I feel a little embarrassed bout it because I thought the validity of those coupons were until 15th Sept, when they actually expire on the 14th!
What happened was, I went and asked around - gave some coupons to friends, on Friday the 14th (which was the rightful expiry date) - and told them it would be good till Saturday the 15th! =P   I hope those who grabbed whichever coupons wouldn't purposely dropby Pyramid JUST to use those coupons! Yikes! Sorry, sorry, I misread the dates. =\\
Went to mum's kindi the other day. Boy-oh-boy. Kids these days are SPOILT! And mainly spoilt by their own parents! Values instilled in kids these days are "be selfish", "I am always right", "I can have anything I want as long as I DEMAND for it", etc. *SIGH*... By over-protecting their kids, parents actually teach their children the wrong values. Wonder when they'll wake up and realise that they're setting bad examples (role model) for their kids...
BTW, watch this video where someone yet again, 'spoke' quite freely about Malaysia (and our politics). I don't 100% agree with this video, but most of the things said there ARE what MANY of us living in the country feel (and don't have the greenlight to voice out)... It's about our rights as minorities VS majority. Although the video/song only features Chinese - left out other minorities, it's STILL true bout how we ALL feel. And was Namewee ever caught by the ISA?? Isn't he in Taiwan?
If only people like that choke & fall flat on their faces... =P
Yea, I'm back. Let's talk about this irritating human being from a certain *country* whom I met on a bus. Happened couple of mths ago.
So, I was happily seated on the aisle seat. Along came a number of X nationality people. I've never had this problem before with them. But there was SOMETHING about THIS PARTICULAR WOMAN. And it isn't something good. >(
No empty seats; She had to stand. And there she stood - just beside me.
Did u see how she leaned over me?? Her fat belly pressed against my shoulder. And she was like jelly, moving along with the bus (lazy @ss!) -- making her fat belly rub left/right, against my shoulder. ERghhhh... She even begun to become more comfy with me as her cushion(!) until she took up half (or most prolly more) of my seat!!
I was so uncomfortable & annoyed with her backward attitude (being SO inconsiderate etc), I decided to confront her, nicely. "Miss, could u pls lean less inwards? I kinda have less than half a seat left. Pls? Thanks"... She responded "don't take the bus lah, take a cab then!".
......
I was SO pissed! I've taken buses before, and it certainly wasn't too much to ask from her. Since she was in the "wrong" anyway! I confronted her as I thought she wasn't aware that she took up so much space when the bus wasn't even packed!!
I've not met anyone like her on a bus, I tell u!! The way she leans on people because she was SUCH A LAZY BUMP... Even those of her nationality who take the bus are better than her! She's definitely ONE OF A @^%#*!@ KIND!
Read my mum's birthday card from an aunt living in Australia. Was funny to read that she proposed her son, D, (which is my guy cousin) to meet up with MY (my bf), as D would be studying at NSW. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice thought @ gesture, but it does feel weird because as a family we already hardly see each other (email few times a yr though); then if my cousin's to plan a meetup with MY... It'd feel weird. For all of us, I think. Haha.. Even though it IS a nice thought AND certainly nothing wrong with it.
I'd want to relate this to something else like my thoughts on certain life philosophies, but I am too distracted at the moment. Haha.. I need to pee! And my hair's making me face & nose itchy!!
Haha.. So random, right? Oh btw, I owe u my story about the irritating foreign human I unfortunately met on the bus. Might continue right after this!   >P
I suppose u know the reason why I didn't come online/blog often, so yea.
Anyway, dad's making me attend some agent seminar on Saturday (tmr) afternoon. Sigh. Not really into it (but not totally ruling out the idea of doing 'sales' either), so I guess no harm in attending it. Hope it'll not be boring. One thing I know.. If ppl were to ask me specific questions that I do not wish to answer, I'd just answer them half-heartedly. ;P   Can't force ur audience to be totally committed to whatever it is ur talk is gonna offer, right? ;)
MY saw Lisa Mitchel [Australian Idol 2006(?) finalist] sing yesterday! Too bad I wasn't there, at the gig. Oh well.
