Clamped Down

I was pretty tired all Thursday, REALLY TIRED to be honest. WHY? Cause Thiru stayed up all morning to watch the Champions League Final, hoping Liverpool to win the match to win some English pride, but noooooo, the boys in Red had other ideas. Well don't let me wonder into this topic, it can go all day, anyway ... so due to watching this game I only managed to get about 3 hours sleep. After scrambling out of bed, I rushed to work at 11am. From there on I was working all day until 10pm, totally forgetting that I forget to have my lunch. I left office about 11:15pm, went to the nearby restaurant to have dinner. By the time I'm done its almost midnight. Slowly I drove back to my apartment and then I told myself, "You are tired as freaking hell, why don't you just park at the parking lot nearby the lift, instead of the designated one further away''.

I had this itch that it may not be the right thing to do, especially at that moment of time, gut feelings maybe .. but when I could hear my bed calling me 5 floor above, I said, ''Screw it, I'm parking near the lift and off to bed I go''

Next morning I woke up in time, took my shower and got ready for work. Picked up my laptop, put on the shoes ... closed the door .. got into the lift .. got out of the lift and .. HUH?! MY CAR IS CLAMPED!! My car never got clamped, NEVER. Guess there's always a first for everything eh? :-)


The truth is I wouldn't be much bothered if it was any other day. But since its on a Friday, I will have to wait till Monday if I decide not to do anything about it. Grrrr!! I was kicking myself hard while walking towards the management office, ''You should have listened to your instincts ... you should you should darn it you should!!''. I called the office to tell them I'll be late (obviously braced myself from being teased all day). Thank god I am good in negotiating. I managed to convince them that its an overlook and it wont happen again. If they didn't buy that story, I would have to fork out RM50 for each day! Thank god it worked! As expected I got teased in the office, ha-ha, shit happens eh?!

Transformers

How can they say Transformers the Movie was made for the fans of the 80-ies when they ripped away the original identity of the robots. Look at Optimus Prime from the original cartoon and the one now. Sigh, it was a huge disappointment for all us die hard fans to learn that they had to reimage these famous icons to suit the movie. But from the looks of the latest movie trailer, it still has signs that it will be THE blockbuster movie of the year, and I really hope it is. Been waiting for it for two years, cant wait for another 2 months!! :)

House Hunting

Two words to describe it, NO FUN! The whole issue about finding a house is a headache right to its core! Firstly you have to crack your head of a budget. Then we have to find the area we would ''ideally'' want our house to be. After driving around the area, we realized that there is NO SUCH HOUSES in that budget?! #@$@#%@. Then we will have to settle for something which was rated second best, maybe a house further away or something more expensive. Once we have agreed to rent the place, the idea of packing-->shift-->unpacking is scary.

If you wanna scare anyone, tell them .. YOU'RE MOVING! You might scare the crap out of them! LOL

My First Blog

I’m back at blogging, this time at blogger.com. My previous online home was Yahoo 360, where I made friends with a few good people. And of course, where there are nice peoples, you will also get crazy/weird ones too. Blogging there was easy. Just type all you want, and click submit. But after a while, it started to get a little boring.

I want a space where I could express my thoughts on a more serious manner, more personalized. Yahoo 360 could not offer me this. Personally I feel its design/layout seems too boring. We can’t customize our page the way we want it.

Using blogger.com, I can ‘pimp up’ my page with feeds, videos, favorite links etc. The possibilities are limitless; well to a certain extend of course :-)

Question : Can you keep up with this new site Thiru?
Answer : Only time will tell. Good luck to me! ;-)
