Psyched

I wake up today (at 11 a.m. because I watched some of the old James Bond flicks till 2) and looked at my phone and what did I find? Digi sending me an SMS telling me I won RM 100 airtime because I reloaded online using RHB's online reload. How cool is that? And this is just as I was running low on airtime. (RM 2 left, i know it is a lot to some of you, but I never had my airtime lower than RM10 before).

Thats about it.

Field Day

Maybank has got to be the worst bank. Ever. I mean, today is the second time I have been there to try to open a current account, but my application was rejected because I WAS A STUDENT!!! WTF!! I mean, do they know what they are talking about?! I got so mad I almost threw something at the idiot teller.

The whole thing began like this. I went to Maybank Ipoh Garden last week to try to open a current account. I was interested because this was an interest bearing current account, which means I can write cheques, use the ATM and do online banking all at once. The problem was, you can't just walk in and open an account, but have to submit an online application 4 days in advance! That was the first hurdle.

Then, when I went back there today to open the account, the teller told me my damned application was rejected, apparently because I was "only a student", but that was not what irks me most. What made me mad was the _ucking patronizing way she said it, like "you're only a student", "this is a serious account", "not for playing around", "what does a student want a cheque-book for?" To throw at your face, apparently!! I mean, I must make more money than this bitch. Seriously.

Anyway, if I didn't need to use Maybank2u I would have learnt my lesson and took my business somewhere else.. But I do need the account, no matter how painful it will be getting it.

Today is the day I finally get to use my Competent Driver's License... Such a wondrous occasion. Besides that, I have nothing much happening today, except my fortune cookie telling me this will be a year of fun and happiness for me...

Anyway, I am now stuck with trying to choose a name for myself, which is not an easy task, as the top 3 names I want have been taken, and it will be very confusing for others to use...

my original top 3 :

1. Benjamin - Benjamin goes well with Goh, and I like it, but my stepbrother is also named Benjamin Goh.

2. Jonathan - I have at least 3 friends with this name... better not...

3. Christopher - 3 friends with this name, don't want to risk being a copycat...

So now, I have to select from a new list. My basic criteria for the name is 1. Easy to pronounce 2. 3 syllables and goes well with Goh, and 3. has a one or two-syllable short form nickname.

The new list:
1. Jeremy
2. Nicholas
3.Timothy
4. Tobias
5. Zachary
6. Gabriel

Any suggestions?

Another month since my last post... Gotta break this habit of blogging just once a month.

Anyway, has anything new happened this past month? Definitely... I got a job, lazed around, worked a little, lazed more, went shopping for new clothes, watched a lot of movies, and lazed.
You must be wondering how I could laze so much when I am working. The good news about my job is that the hours are decided by me... I am a freelance direct sales agent, which means I decide my working hours. Cool? At first, because I thought I can work or not work depending on my mood. But in the end, there are SOME days when not working is not an option.

Anyway, I pity those who work part time for minimum wage. RM3.5 per hour is no low for any job...

About the movies. I have watched Enchanted, National Treasure 2, Alvin and the chipmunks, The warlords, Gabriel, and Sweeney Todd. I liked Sweeney Todd a lot, because it has been long since I've watched an enjoyable musical with clever lyrics and a nice plot. There is just one thing that bugged me. They did not give the ending for Johanna and Anthony. Bummer.

Ok thats all for now.
