Just one day at home form work and guess what did I do?
I broke one dessert dish and wreck my HP printer trying to print a CD label.
Thank goodeness, I have another kinda oldish HP printer lying around in my house.
Except it hasn't been used since forever so it's kinda rusty.
Luckily, I Dad asked me to put some kind of oil to it anf it works.
Except it ran out of ink.
So I had to go get the ink.

I was already thinking of buying a new printer if all else fails.
A photo-printer of some sort.
Baru dapat surat from CPF entitling me to the budget money thingey.
Macam tau-tau jer nak dapat duit.

Confessions

I was thinking of joining Ridjal's BlogMarathon but I don't think I sit through all 10 posts. But reading entries of the blogmarathon-ers, I'm enthused by one particular topic.

Confessions.

You see, back in secondary school, when writing each other's autograph book was the "in" thing, a friend once wrote that I'm very good at looking very INNOCENT. I didn't get what she meant, so I asked her. She said that I have the tendency to look very innocent even when I'm not. That's sort of true. I ALMOST got into trouble a lot of times when I was younger but I manage to weasel my way out! And boy do I remember all the "not so innocent" things I get up to back then.

1. The Hit And Run Incident

It happen at this shop bawah blok my house, when I was about 9. My mum asked me to get her a bottle of tau-chu as she wanted to make mee rebus. I was walking around trying to find that damn bottle. In the end I found it and quickly rush to pay for it. In my haste and klutzy-ness, I actually knocked a bottle of tau-chu down. Miraculously, although the bottle broke, it didn't make a loud sound. So I pretended I didn't do anything wrong and paid for my bottle and ran all the way home! I never told anyone about it.

2. Internet

I was a computer nerd back in secondary school. Was in the computer clubs designing webpages. Web design back then was using Microsoft Front page and everything looks like it's from a powerpoint slide. My friends and I wanted to use the net to chat. My computer club teacher allowed us to use the computer in the teacher's room. We were busy chatting when one nosy teacher looked over to what we were doing. She asked what were we doing upon seeing the chatroom. My friends who are usually loud, always with things to say, just stared at each other. Me being the quite one look at the teacher straight in the eye and told her that we're from the Computer Club (true!) doing a project (true also!) and using this chatroom as a guide as we are incorporating it into out website (utter rubbish!). She actually bought my story!

3. STAGE

I'm no stranger to being on stage in school. Apart from participating in dances, dramas, and receiving prizes on stage, I always got caught for talking in the halls and had to stand on stage as a punishment.

4. HIDE-AND-SEEK

When I was 14, I got into one of the most notorious classes. We made relief teachers quit after teaching us for a week. One lesson, somehow no teachers came to our class. We were all getting restless, started going to the toilet at Level 3. My class is at Level 2. Nearest ladies on level 2 is at the other end of the block. See, in my school, you need a pass for "loitering" around the school during lesson time. But almost half the class are out. While we were all hanging out near the stairs which is right beside my classroom (we get a corner room) someone shouted that the Discipline Master (DM) is walking towards us. We can't go back to class, as he'll definitely see us. So we RAN up to level 3 and hide in the empty classrooms. We hide under the tables right below the windows, closed the windows and doors. We heard footsteps, someone opening the door. Then close the door and walked off. We waited for a good five minutes before we ran back to our class. That was CLOSE.

5. WHITE LIES

In sec 3, my Civics and Moral teacher told us that we need our workbooks the next day and NOT to forget to bring it. We'll be punished if we forget. When I reach school the next day, I realize I didn’t bring it along. So before school starts, I went to see her and told her I lost my book and that I couldn't find it at home. We spent the next 10 minutes searching the teachers' room for my "missing" book. She saw how worried I am. Said that maybe I've misplaced it and not to worry. Just try looking for it again at home. Don't think she'll be proud of my moral if she knew the truth!

Well, I got away with most thing in secondary school. But in Poly, the lecturers saw through me. Got into arguments with them instead. Maybe I lost my touch? Maybe I don’t look that innocent no more?

5 signs you hate your job (not in any particular order)

5. You STUDY the calendar and make sure you take leave the day before or after a 3-day weekend holiday.

4. The first thing you check every day is your bosses calender and note when she's on leave or at a meeting.

3. You only LIVE for Fridays.

2. You've worked out how many days a month you can take leave or call in sick.

1. You see the doctor at the slightest sign that you're unwell hoping to get an MC!

Why you don't quit your job?: It pays WELL.
