I must be channeling some really nasty karma.
Last Friday, close to midnite, when I was done with my work, I deleted the 250-pager document which I was supposed to circulate in the next 10 minutes and which coincidentally contains my whole week worth of work. From the server OK. And I don't have a backup. It's surprising I had not thrown the PC off the balcony and even more surprising I lived to tell this tale. So my studying plans went down the drain and stress level hit sky high.
And yesterday, my left eye got so swollen I actually had limited vision. My eyes oredi damn small. And now can hardly see anything. Had to wear sunnies to the office. Damn poser can. Can't put eye make up bah. And I'm doing charity by not scaring anyone early in the morning. Planned to clear my work then take the half day off, so I actually went to the office sans make up. First time I do such a thing. But as all good plans go, it failed brilliantly.
Then after a long day, I finally can go home. Finally. When I got to my car, I couldn't find my keys in my bag. OK, what I have is actually a small knapsack. Handbag too small and not useful la. Always wanna kena snatch some more. So I emptied the contents and still I couldn't find it. So I stuffed everything back in and made my way back up to my office, where my keys presumably fell out.
And guess what? It wasn't there. Nor was it anywhere around or near where I sit.
Normal people would panic or maybe curse until Lady Liberty blushes, but me, heh, a stupid thought hit me. Well, maybe not as stupid as the person who thought it. So I made my way back down to the car and as suspected, there it was.... in the ignition. The way I had left it there when I arrived in the morning. It would be comical had it not been so so ARRGHHH.
If anybody wanna steal a car, please call me. I will leave the keys in the ignition and if you open the coin box there, you will find an exit pass thus ensuring you of a safe and convenient drive out.
Cheerio.

excuse me but... ba-ka-ya-ro
Simply because...
...someone thinks it’s okay to get me to re-draft a more than 20 pager document to be ready by tomorrow morning... just in case they need it.
...some people like to pdf their stuff so I can’t copy and paste it. So now I'm a typist!! How cool is that?
...some fat-assed overpaid CONsultant is breathing down my neck eventho there's still 3 whole days to my deadline. Haloooo... got 3 more days OK. Get a life. Go shag someone/something.
...approximately 230.5 hours to D-Exam-Day and I’ve only covered say 16.2% of the study notes... not even the required reading. Even if I don't eat sleep and shit, still not enuf time. Can die anot I ask you???
...someone waved a packet of Twisties in front of me and I’m in the mood to stuff myself silly with over-processed artificially flavoured food. I possibly weigh more than five Nicole Richies and I’ve stopped going to the gym oredi kay... don’t do this to me....
...today is the official launching of the Mazda 3 and the showroom is like less than 15 minutes away. Jalan oso can sampai..... butttttt..... I gotta work. Got 20 pager document to re-draft... pissed.
...I haven’t gone out for weeks!! Not the leisurely “window shopping, boys/girls watching” kinds anyway. Besides coming to work, I do go out, to pay my bills. Ughh.
...my I-think-about-you-day-and-night dreamy Coach soho signature patchwork hobo with crimson strap is still not quite within my grasp. How?????
...and I miss someone terribly.... sighhh.... yes la, I a bit the emo today, can anot??
Tersangat emo punya zirafah... tapi cuteee...macam saya! :P

no regrets
Life is funny, when you think about it.
To me, Life has been a series of coincidences. Some good, some bad, but eternally linked. Like how some things are meant to happen and that's just the way they are. Almost like fate.
I understand, I accept, for the longest time now, that things happen for a reason. Bad things don't happen just because. Some good has to come out of it, like a hidden agenda. There has to be a silver lining. I'm foolishly optimistic in that way.
Perhaps that's why even when Life doesn't go the way I hoped it would, it has always had this funny way of working out. It may not be what I want at the end of the day, but turned out to be what I need instead.
Like how this happened because of that. But if that didn't take place, then this would not happen at all. Two events that are independent and yet intertwined, where one would not have existed without the other. Two different endings hanging on one insignificant decision.
If given a choice (and the foresight) to do it all over again, I would stubbornly choose to make the same bad decision. I rather that happened so that I could have this - my silver lining.
You know the part where Robert Frost once lamented of how "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both"?
Consider this: What if both roads lead to the same point? Would it matter then which path you take? Given the chance, would you choose to rehash and rewind? Why?
I'm at peace, strangely contented with the way things are at the moment, even though Life had not gone the way I wanted it to.

gender un-biased
It was meant to be a routine nothing-exciting-ever-happen day. It still is actually but as I was minding my own business filling up an e-form, I stumbled upon something not often seen, and will probably never be seen in my dear old conservative country. Everything's pretty standard; first name, last name, mailing address, etc. Pretty boring, until I got to this column:
Turns out I have an additional choice. This is so darn fascinating.
Only in America.
