Counting Down To Zero




Am currently lazy-ing around in the house, waiting for 1 o'clock to come. Woke up at 9am (heaven), having breakfast 'til 10am, slowly munching the mee goreng (no rushing to find the name tag), and now am sitting down typing this entry.

1 hr 50 mins 'til HRH comes home to pick me up

What do I do, what do I do, what do I do to while the hours away? Oh, after finishing with this, I'll go around the house to get a sweater, toilettries, a T-shirt, couple of DVDs, maybe a blankie and a small but fluffy pillow.

1 hr 45 mins 'til HRH comes home to pick me up

What will I have for dinner? By 5pm, there'll only be a few people left in that place! Will the cafe be opened then? What about the mini mart there? Walking to GE and ordering Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin AND Mango Ice Blended at Cozy's across the road is not an option, 'cause I'm on the clock. Well, we'll see how it goes. If HT and KP wanna go, no problem with me! I don't wanna be left alone there at night! I heard scary things happen in that place. Wuuuuuu.

But just to be safe, I guess I'll bring some crackers and 2 or 3 packets of 3-in-1 Milo. Can my tummy stand not having real food stuffed into it for those long hours?


*sigh*

1 hr 37 mins 'til HRH comes home to pick me up

I'm gonna go stuff all those stuff I mentioned before into a backpack. Don't forget the flip-flop, Dinie.

*slaps own forehead, hard*


OHHH, no wonder they always carry a backpack when they come in!

1 hr 37 mins 'til HRH comes home to pick me up

Take a (wild) guess of where I'm going, people.

See y'all on Thursday!

Of Ezora's Joshua And Stupid Digi People


I went from being extremely giddy and tralalalala to extremely angry and pissed off.

This evening, I just realized that that Joshua guy from Ezora was my schoolmate in primary school. Since the first episode of the series, he seemed soo familiar. He was famous back then for having a popular brother who’s a famous actor. Does anybody know Ahmad Idham? Yeah, he’s the brother (Mr. Cinderella, anyone?).
And his kid brother went to school with me. Everybody had a crush on him. So did I. *You should have seen that coming*
He even had a not-so-big role in the Cucur Tepung Cap Adabi advertisement. Cucur tepung cap Adabi, cepat dimasak, sedap dimakan!
He was the kid with the floppy hair in white T-shirt. So cute!
So, you can imagine how excited I was when I suddenly remembered him from my school days. He didn’t change at all, except for being taller! That hair! That face! Sebijik macam abang die!
So, to vent out my uber tralalalala-ness, I called Pika for about half an hour. So, gab gab gab gab. More gabbing, then I hung up.
Then, the message showed my credit balance. Digi users should be familiar with this.
To my utmost shock, Digi said I spent RM12.96 for the 24 minutes and 15 seconds I gabbed my world away. Like,

WHAT THE HELL??


Mind you, Pika is on my Friends & Family list. I should only be spending at most RM3.75, as in 15sen per minute!
I checked the list again. Her number wasn’t there! And I was damn sure her number was the first set I put in! Did the Digi people secretly reset their customers’ Friends & Family lists, deleting some of the numbers? So that they unwillingly will have to pay more than what they’re supposed to when calling/sending a text message? So that the money will go straight into their pockets?
This is ridiculous! I spent extra RM9.21! I could talk for another hour with that!
Yes, I’m calculative like that.



What does ‘Your Tariff Tier has changed’ really mean anyway???

Tinkering

A SOLEMN VOW TO MYSELF

I, DNB, solemnly promise to myself that I will try my best not to change my blogger template anymore after this (unless it's really really really necessary, like after 100 entries).

I won't gatal-gatal go Googling for 'free XML blogger template', and go bonkers downloading all the pretty XML templates I could get my hands, err, pointer on, only later not knowing which to use, and start searching again. Wait a sec. Is that what the rest of the world calls it? Pointer? Arrow? White arrow on the screen? Cursor?

I won't go tweaking the codes without a professional's supervision, lest I don't mind banging my head on the table again - due to the ensuing frustration when I preview it, the current (template) codes go crazy.

I won't spend another 7 hours messing around with the current template in the wee hours of morning, and in the process, sacrificing my very much-needed beauty sleep.

I simply won't.

This will be my one and only template until my 100th entry.
Hopefully.

I really hope I can last that long.
