Today in My World
Yoz, supz all?
Once again, it has been ages since I last made an entry here in my journal. Well, mainly I've been getting myself fucked up with work like whoa...SO...
Hrm...As per usual, let me try to organise my thoughts and type it out in comprehensible paragraphs(wonder if that works, nyahahaaa)
FSTEP
Currently in my fourth month in this programme, nearly going into the fifth. So far, I have gone through the Intensive Business English module, Conventional Banking, Insurance & Takaful and now working on Islamic Banking. Awesome programme, awesome friends, awesome memories made everyday(sweet, bitter, bittersweet and sour all together). There are some frustrations...but I suppose those are the price for pay for the joys that pour in...so I guess it's squared in a way.
Another 2 months or so before I finally get to start working in an actual financial institution...
Standard Chartered Marathon
Out of pure insanity, I had signed myself up for the 5km Fun Run, which took place this morning of 27th June. Stupid me really, I actually reached the place on time, but I was dumb enough to not know where to go, OTL Sighs...it was a tough journey after all, I had to transit at the KL sentral station. Anyway, lesson well learnt I would say.
Apparently there was some bad stuff going there, based on a note someone posted in facebook. Let's see if the news published this tomorrow. It ain't gonna be good for the organisers...apparently due to the lack of medical staff patrolling the place and the inefficiency of the medical units, someone died.
Sighs...this...is really...sighs...only here...RIP to the victim and condolences to the families and friends affected by the loss.
Reading that note sparked a memory which happened 5 years ago. I recall being in a cake house with a couple of friends for a small reunion. There was a pair of women sitting at the table in front of us. Suddenly, one of the woman dropped face first into her food...The other woman seemed rather calm about it, so we all thought everything was alright...but uh...things didn't go well as the fainted woman did not regain consciousness.
A doctor(we suspect him to be) came in a car to check on her, and informed that the woman isn't breathing...
Well, I guess that pretty much sums up the story
Room Improvements
After the marathon, I went to Ikea to search for a new book shelf. Basically, I have waaaay too many stuff in my room and it keeps piling up on my other items. Having long noted the lack of shelf space in my room, I decided to just get on with it and get myself a new shelf. It's a lot less easier now that I'm sorta...earning money. Parents can't really object to it since I'm bearing the cost on my own(speaking of which...I really got to figure out a way to monitor my expenditure...).
For the price of RM185.00, it's a pretty good buy considering the quality and the design of it. (tis the black shelf btw)
Least my table isn't so cluttered now that I have a new shelf to put my stuff.
Ok, it's still sort of messy, but much better than before I got the shelf.
Gaming
I've just finished Final Fantasy XIII the other day. Beautiful storyline, it was fascinating to watch how the characters evolve and grow as the story progresses. In time, Lightning and Fang became my favourite characters. Lightning for the fact that her stoical personality appeals to me; Fang for the reason that she has awesome quotes and an Australian accent. The ending of the game disappointed me somewhat, as I was expecting waaay more than just that...
Overall, great game, sweet story, cool battle system albeit the abrupt ending wrap up.
Next game to finish, Devil May Cry 4
Next game(s) to(tentatively) get...Assassin's Creed, Red Dead Redemption, White Knight Chronicles...
Love Life
Nope, still nothing there. This is perhaps the one aspect of my life which is the most un-happening of all the random happenings that goes on around me. Sometimes, this rather frustrates me as I watch many of my friends gradually getting into relationships and whatnots.
I'm not...actually being fussy, but greh...so far, I've yet to find someone who I genuinely am attracted to. I'm still young to really worry about this, below 25 and all. But...argh, seeing even others who are younger than me getting someone...well...just doesn't cut it for me.
At the same time, I'm fairly reluctant to get myself in a relationship. Reason being I'm not interested in getting myself trapped in a place where I just...don't feel a sense of belonging in. Nice if the other half is willing to scale the world with me to search for the place of peace, but...I figure that I'm better off searching on my own.
