Nah, it’s critical buying. Bought a book at Popular Bookstore the other day. Cost me rm32.90 – 15% (you calculate it, yourself) 
I actually saw this book and a few others at MPH before but I did not think of buying it, I was a little broke. Too bad that I cannot start reading it yet, time does not allow me to do so. How sad.
More books I want to buy. How environmental unfriendly I am. Save trees! But I can’t help it if I don’t read books! I’m going nuts! Haha! Chiaoz 
How do you pronounce the word “cour·te·ous”? /ˈkɜrtiəs/- [kur-tee-uhs] The apostrophe and the bold word signify stress on that syllable, which means we tend to utter the word with a louder and longer tone. So, what is courteous, anyway? In dictionary.com, it is an adjective that brings the meaning of having or showing good manners; polite. Now, why do I want to talk about this value?
This is why. I saw a worker from the King’s Confectionery, basically it’s a bakery shop whom delighted me with his courtesy towards the elderly. He helped an old lady (perhaps in her 70′s) to walk from the shop to a black Toyota Vios after purchasing breads there. This is the first time I see such a situation. Too bad that I do not have any camera to capture that moment.
What is running in my mind is that, why did the old lady went into the shop on her own in the first place? I even saw some people in the car! I guess those are her children! None of them can buy the breads on behalf of her or at least accompany her! Knowing that she needs assistance in walking. Sigh.
Anyway, time to continue with my work. Chiaoz
Well, I bought a printer, Canon Pixma IP3300 last two weeks from one of the shop in Digital Mall nearby. My previous printer died when I didn’t feed enough of paper. The paper feeder just couldn’t work anymore. It’s kinda old though, a printer my eldest sister passed down to me. So, that urged me to get a new machine. I got one and it was working smoothly until I found there’s something faulty with it.
See, there’s four ink tanks in it, be it black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Apparently the cyan tank wasn’t showing any sign of it being detected by the printer head. There’s light for each tank which is to indicate whether the tank is properly fixed or to show error. I carried the machine back to Digital Mall the day I found the fault itself (should be on a Wednesday) and in the end I took it back because the guy said that I need to bring it to their so-called “concept store” in Midvalley Megamall. They can’t fix because they’re just dealers. Fine.
A bright opportunity came up when my coursemates are looking forward to watching Transformers at Midvalley. I thought that could be a nice one, so I hopped along. Ms. Boon found a nice parking and the first step into the shopping mall and there it is “Canon Lifestyle Concept Store” with its huge bright red wording. I rushed into the shop, hoping that they can get it done there and then. But the idiot told me that there’s 2 options for me to choose. (1) leave my printer there – they fix – I get it back in 3-4 weeks time, (2) call Customer Service Center. I, of course chose the 2nd one. I carried my printer back to the car and began sight-seeing.
Anyway, I just called the Customer Service’s line after school today. A lady attended to me and explained to me the details and will see how or what will be done later in the day. She needs to ask the technician whether he/she can come to fix. A while later, my phone rang. It was the technician. Typical Chi-Ed English =) I’m not insulting. Just that I’m analysing what was he talking about. After all, I’m doing BA in English!
So, he came and he took a look at my printer. He must be thinking that it could’ve been a slight problem, cos men (generally) would look down at women since they are too delicate to handle technical things. Well, it’s just an assumption. Do not get offended. He acted as if he’s gonna fix it right. He checked and he made a call, “Her printer is not detecting the Cyan’s ink tank, could it be the print head that’s giving problem?” It’s printer head, not print head. Working in a world of English words and couldn’t get the right term? Shameful. Moron.
I told him that the printer is still new. I printed at most, 20+ pages. Then, he said he has to take it back to the shop and figure out what can be done. He even said that he only need 2-3 days time. I hope he will keep his words. He took out a book of report vouchers and issued me a piece of it. He took so long to think of a correct phrase to write out the remarks. I doubt his profession.
What bothers me a lot is that, at the first place, the guy in Digital Mall should have told me that I can call the Customer Service Center. I could’ve get my printer fixed much earlier. I’m the customer, they made me travel here and there, I felt stupid. It’s so obvious that the problem is something got to do with the printer head. Can’t they just change it with another printer head? No spare parts? At least, problems can be identified even faster. Time is precious man.
Gosh. That technician guy did something stupid too though. Will you ever take the cartridge out and start to swing it? Just to see if the ink is still “not dried up” yet. Here’s the consequence of him doing a wonderful check-up on the cartridge. Fuken moron.
I’m so glad that he gave me a present before he left. How nice. I didn’t notice it because the stain was hidden where it’s covered by my table. Sigh. I’ve met too many of these people. They need to learn the subject “Living Skill @ Kemahiran Hidup” in school again, seriously. I’m off now. Chiaoz
Dr. Carmen! The best lecturer of all. I’m biased. So what? Haha. She contributes another number in the same-birthday-people list. How cool could that be! I’ve been searching for the same-birthday-people ever since I was a kid (in primary school, I think, I could only think properly that time, right?). All I could find was the either a day earlier or a day later. I told myself that I’ll be meeting these peeps of the same birth date soon enough. Pretty sure it is. Got to secondary school and same thing happened. I found even more people having their birthdays before and after my birthday. I didn’t put away my hopes or just give up searching. And I continue my hunt. I think I’ve said this before. I found one Malaccan guy, same course as I am, same birthday as I am! Hah! What a coincidence! Lately, we celebrated our birthdays together, as what I’ve blogged about yesterday. Well, he even told me that he has got a twin brother! See what I’ve meant? 
Anyway, Shan updated me with the latest news which is; someone else is sharing the same birthday with us. It’s Dr. Carmen! What can I say more? I’m just too happy to know I’m sharing my birthday with 1 course mate and 1 lecturer. I feel special! Anyone want to contribute? Haha! I think I should stop blogging for the time being. I’m so out of time to finish up my assignments and stuffs. See this.
Haha. I’m off now! Chiaoz
Well well well… The birthday song had been sung the moment I stepped in the classroom for Semantics class this morning. I was shocked and touched at the same time. Fellow coursemates are so sweet. Love you guys! They sang the song continuously for the second time when Mr. Sue hopped into the classroom (that’s when I sat down on my chair). Our lecturer, Mr. Selva joined the fun of singing with the rest of our coursemates too. We felt special. Haha.
The funniest thing happened to me was that I’ve been a dreamy during the lecture. I was nowhere at times. Can hardly concentrate because there’s too much to think in the little brain of mine. A little stress is running in my veins too though. Mr. Selva asked me some questions and I was lost to answer him and just told him I was too excited cause it’s my birthday. What a lame excuse that is! *lol*
Anyway, after class, Kah Joon gave me a present, a pink shirt! *heee* I’m so into pink nowadays! *lols* Well, it’s a gift from them all (Michelle, Kah Joon, Jiau Chee, Amy Chin, Ching Han, Yvon, Shan, Anthony and little Viv). You guys are too nice. Thanks alot =)
They really made me happy, I was even happier after Semantics tutorial class. Lecture’s boring I think. Plus I was dreaming. I had mood swing. Weird, ain’t it? I’ve been acting like a weirdo nowadays, that’s what I’ve noticed. Well, ignore me. Haha. But then again, I’m back to happy mode now. I’m going nuts. Haha.
This is my presents. Hehe. Thanks to my fellow friends for the contribution! Haha!
Heee. It’s a necklace and a pink Puma blouse. Nice nice. Well, let’s see what’s next. Friends gathered at Kemaman Kopitiam (just some where nearby the house I’m staying) and celebrated our birthdays again. We’re a buncha crazy fellas. Just look at these pictures and you’ll know.
Well, that’s about it for the day. I’m so happy, just so you know =) Things are still still going on as it used to be. I’m happy! I’m going crazy soon! *Waaaaa* Laffiuu! Chiaoz
Let’s create a happy blog. Hehe. Happy birthday to all who born on this special day, 23rd July! Mr. Sue, you’re one of them. Glad to know that someone else is sharing the same day with me, cos I hardly find one. At most, I have friends having their big day before and after 23rd July. lol.
This year, I’m “celebrating” it not with any of my family members, which is why it made me a little sad. Even the closest person to me (in KL) is now working in Jakarta. Sad, ain’t it? Well, I just need to get used to it, no matter what.
Yea, well, I went to Asia Cafe last night with Adree. I wanted to play some foosball, just for the fun of it. Adree is being kind enough to bring me there. I’m honored =) I played for awhile and just before I left AC, Jon sang me a birthday song while I was still foosing. It was Dree’s idea though, cos I was playing with him and didn’t know the time. I was touched, mixed feelings at the same time too. But, I’m happy.
I’m officially 21 years of age today. I do not have a single idea to tell whether I’m happy or even sad on this big day. I’m in a bit of confusion. I can’t think in a proper way, I just can’t. Been trying to put away the sadness in me, but still things are still lingering in my head. Facts are things I should accept, I know that. Well, talking about it is way easier than doing it. That’s why I’m puzzled over things.
Anyway, I’m going to school soon. Thank you for all the wishes, my friends. Thanks a lot, especially to the one I love ^^ Time’s up. Chiaoz
Want some cake?
Badminton is made compulsory for us (I, Michelle, Ah Chee, Kah Joon and some other people), which is a good thing. I missed so many rounds of gym sessions because Kor isn’t around in the country. Asian Cup is kicking now, so he gotta run about in Thailand and he’s in Jakarta now. How cool is that.
Well, we had more people to play badminton this time because we had a test (Journalism) in the morning. 4 guys (Anthony, Ian, Kah Joon and Sue Sin) and 3 girls (I, Michelle and Ah Chee). It’s supposed to be more people but the rest had things to do, so they didn’t turn up.
I couldn’t play well today. The back of my thigh hurts, my back hurts, my arm hurts. I’m so weak. I think I’m falling sick, cos I was exposed to the rain today. Let’s just hope I don’t get sick. Sigh.
Let’s talk abit about yesterday. I, Michelle, Ah Chee, Amy Chin and Kah Joon went for Transformers (again for Michelle and I, lol). It was good (of course it is!). There’s some parts which I find them quite bored, I almost fell asleep. Haha. But then, I was quite tired and sleepy for the day though. Slept late and have to wake up early. Being tired is not a good thing, because it really affect our attitude for the rest of the day. Tend to talk less and sleepy face. Zzz.
Let’s sing a song. Avril Lavigne’s When You’re Gone.
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I’d need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I’m alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you’re gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
I’ve never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on my floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you’re gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
Yeah
When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
Well, I need to sleep. Back hurts alot 
I need a back massage.
Mom called yesterday morning and told me that everybody’s coming over here tomorrow. Happy, is what I’m feeling right now. It’s been a long time I did not go back, due to some unavoidable circumstances. Missed everyone so much, especially my little nephew. Mom said he can talk so much now, most probably he picked the habit from the school he attends now. So cute. Can’t wait to hug him so tightly. Hehe.
Played badminton today. So tiring. Thighs and arms are aching. Hands are shaking too. Weak! Didn’t touch my racket for quite some time already. I missed those times when I used to play it with my friends. Well, I missed my friends too. That’s like 2-3 years back? Time flies.
Oh well, Kor’s back already. I’m gonna get some goodies from him. Yay! Haha. I sound so childish, am I? It’s time for foosball, tonight, I hope 
That’s all for now……… Chiaoz
The day has come. I’m getting a room mate, named Ah Chee a.k.a. kitty`x. She brought all of her things today and my room was very packed already. Mr. Tan Sue Sin helped her to get her and her things over using Ms. Boon’s Kelisa. Well, he has been in my room since 1130am, cos he has another mission to accomplish, which is fixing Ms. Siaw’s table-cum-rack (1st part is already completed, now left with the 2nd part and our carpenter is already tired and lazy!). They are having a rest now, Ah Chee is telling her folktales while I’m blogging this. ~hehe~
Ah Chee’s feeling very angry now. Our friend, Sue Sin is listening with full attention to her while lying down on the floor. I think he’s bored. Haha, jk. Well, it’s good to tell out everything rather than keeping it to oneself.
Hmm, Kor, too has begun his work in Bangkok. I miss Kor =/ Faster come back. *lol* Anyway, the foosball challenge is already begun the day before yesterday. I so wanted to be there to help my fellow 2nd family members. Well, Adree bringing me there tonight. Yay. Thanks Adree
Here’s the picture…
Oh well, I’m feeling quite tired. I think I’m gonna rest a little bit now. Chiaoz
1stly, each and every one of my assignments due in July, either in the beginning or towards the end. Hopefully I don’t do last minute job, though it might work. *grinz*
2ndly, there’s foosball challenge starting tomorrow, 4th July until Sunday, 9th July. It’s gonna be held in 1Utama, again like the one we had last year. I might or might not be there to help, but I don’t think I will be although I really want to. I like to meet lots and lots of people, especially good looking ones, if there are one. And also help out with the crews, we’re like a big family =)
3rdly, another sports agenda, but football this time, the AFC Asian’s Cup which kicks off starting 7th till 29th of July. Kor was so busy and still busy-ing with the preparation for this event. He’ll be going to the 3 countries (Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam) to work, i.e shoot amateur’s football pictures? Hehe. Yea, and I’m left alone here. *lol*
4thly, I’m getting a room mate soon enough. Named Ah Chee, moving in this coming Friday. Well, I’m not ‘that’ lonely already, by then. Good timing for Kor to be away and at the same time, I got a room mate which will accompany me for the rest of the duration in Utar. But, I still want to foos or dota! =D
5thly, birthdays! Tonnes of friends having birthdays this month as well as me and my 2nd sister (erchey/erjie), Julea. Old enough already. Gotta change a little to be a little mature. Haha.
6thly, my one and only younger sister is coming to PJ soon. She’ll be studying in IPBA as a preparatory course to pursue her degree in France, 2 years later. It’s what she wanted to do. Hope the best for her.
7thly, I’m gonna go prepare for school now and add the number of agendas here when I have thought of it. I knew there’s more. Haha. Chiaoz
