Yet another month has come to an end. Let's see, what has changed...
1) My leo club has taken up yet another major project. A very major one
in fact.
2) I have yet another girl on my mind. Although I've already decided to
stop flirting with her, I still see and talk to her quite often.
3) I have less one assignment to worry about, but that's too insignificant
to notice.
4) I got my Oakleys, and my Deuter Hip Pack.
5) One major Leo Project over and done with, except for some minor loose
ends to tie up.
6) Oh, not to forget that those pigs have invaded Iraq, something I am
so against. Have you seen the picture of that 4-year-old kid in the Star
today? Why show concern only after the damage has been done?! Ass holes!
Hmm... a lot has happened this month. Many of which I'm not exactly happy
about. Oh well, "if B happens instead, it's okay".

A screwy day indeed. The morning brought no smiles. The one thing I needed
so bad was chocolates to cure my depression. Depression doesn't hit me
often anymore. But it still comes, and I still despise it. However, today
was a bit harder to tell what exactly I was feeling so depressed about.
I wasn't sure if it was because of yesterday's incidents, or if it was
because all the smses coming in relating to today's Forum Discussion attendance
were negative. Either way, I could use less of it.
(290303 - Saturday)
Certain hopes and dreams were built today. And they were crushed not too
long later. But I guess it beats hanging on for a substantially long duration
before having it crushed. No harm done this round.

Due to my commitments to next year's Leo Forum, I decided to attend the
current one's meeting this evening, as opposed to spending my evening
at KL North's social dinner, which I was invited to.
Someone asked why I attended the meeting, but I seriously can't come
to a conclusion myself. Sometimes there can be many reasons for the things
I do, sometimes, there can be no reason for the things I do. I'm quite
sure I have reasons for attending it... but I think they're too vague
to describe. Just know that I did what I believed I should have done,
and I choose to have no regrets.
Foo Hon Lim is a wonderful guy. He actually offered to let me drive his
less than one month old Mercedes Benz C200. And of course, I took him
up on the offer! Only an idiot would pass up such a rare opportunity.
After this experience, I can tell you that continental luxury cars were
made to make you fall in love with them. They put you in heaven from the
moment you sit your butt into the driver's seat. There's no doubt about
that.

The funfair has finally come to an end... officially. There are still
matters to settle, but the point is that it is one thing to put behind.
I can now free up some 'memory' to run other applications. Capacity has
never been so low before in my life. And yet with one medium-sized object
moved out of a tiny room, another object so overwhelmingly big is on its
way over, and it will be up to me to squeeze it back in to this tiny room
up here. Life is no longer dull.
Something's amiss. I can't seem to stop thinking of a certain someone
I recently met. Nothing about her really interests me. But for some unknown
reason, my thoughts remain on the same her. Someone please just shoot
me!
(260303 - Wednesday)
With a little help from dad, my assignment was completed and handed in
a whole three hours before the deadline. I believe that I was within the
first 30% to hand in their assignments. Hahaha!
My hopes of having a my task as Forum Organising Chairman go easy is
slowly fading. I'm beginning to see the light, and I'm not very pleased.
I can safely say that the difficulty level of putting this one together
is 150% the difficulty of KL Forum 2000.

University electronic resource centers are the greatest gifts for an undergraduate
rushing assignments. Everything is at the tip of the fingers, provided
you have a valid username and password. The problem with external programs
is that no, you don't get such privileges. However, it always helps to
have a best friend studying abroad, willingly giving up her username and
password for your convenience. Huey Lim - I love you!
The human body is a pathetic thing. God's creation, such a big disappointment.
Have you ever realized how most bodily functions fail at times when you
need to be most productive? Yeah, sure - blame stress!
70% of my assignment to go; 18 hours left. It's now my race against time.
(240303 - Monday)
I finally got started on my accounting assignment. Up to now, I've completed
about 10% of it. Will attempt to do as much as possible the rest of tonight,
and continue tomorrow night. Thirty hours till deadline.
(230303 - Sunday)
An early rise was the last thing I needed, but it happened. All for the
sake of fulfilling my agreement to participate at the Leo Sports Day held
at my secondary school. Nothing fancy happened. In fact, I was pretty
disappointed with the way it was run. Such a waste of my now precious
time.
My Forum Discussion which was supposed to follow, ended up being postponed
because majority couldn't make it. It's heartbreaking to think that before
it all began, everyone was so enthusiastic and kept repeating "We'll
be there with you till the end". Right now, we're still at the very
beginning and already they're showing a lack of commitment. I don't think
a pep talk could possibly do much good at this point in time. I just hope
that today's occurrence is a one time thing.
My evening was initially reserved for my soon due assignment. But of
course, that didn't happen as my president wanted company to a Joint Meeting
with Leos from Japan and Hong Kong. Oh well, I can't say that it was a
total loss. I met another somebody, who I guess didn't really mind me
flirting with her. If only she'd flirt back, that would have made my evening
so much more interesting. Maybe I'll bump into her in college sometime.
=)

My resolution of not making any new friends in class this year just came
to a sudden end. Five different people approached me for an explanation
on one of our assignment questions. I probably could have answered them,
had I already completed the assignment which is due the coming Wednesday.
I did what I could, and one of them insisted on taking the empty seat
next to me in class. She continued with her persuit for assistance with
the assignment. And well, I made a new friend - DARN!
I seem to be getting a whole lot more calls these days. They come in
batches leaving me no peace, even when I'm in class. One of today's calls
was actually a pleasant surprise - an invitation to go karaoke-ing. With
all the back-logged work I had, it would only seem right for me to turn
down the invitation. But then again, I've been so tied up with work lately,
and having little or no time to relax at all, I decided to go anyway.
It was there that I met my Leo Club's very own Diva. Meet Pey
Jin, one of the first members in my club. I bet you won't be able
to guess her age.
(210303 - Friday)
Hah! Got myself a pouch. Not all that cheap, but I was surprised by the
unexpected 25% discount I got at the counter. Deuter has very nice hip
packs. Not worth the money, but still, I'm content.
(200303 - Thursday)
I've forgotten the meaning of boredom. Lepak is slowly fading from
my vocabulary too. So little time, so much to do. It's so much worse when
you go back after a day off from work, to find 19 emails in your inbox,
and the previously empty in-tray now with paperwork two trays high. That,
plus the endless incoming calls, and also the preparations for this evening's
meeting, not to mention my auntie calling on me for IT support. All that
to be done within the last two hours of the day because the first 7 hours
were spent slogging in class. Hectic indeed!
My second forum discussion is over. Within the first 5 days of everything,
we seem to have accomplished much more than I hoped for. One more meeting,
and we'll be ready to meet the big guys head on. Bring it on!
(190303 - Wednesday)
Today's hotel inspection went very well. I got to see a lot of the place,
and again, I was so impressed. That coupled with an impromptu inspection
of a neighbouring hotel has help me make up my mind. I can already picture
everything falling into place. Now all I have to do is worry about the
figures.
(180303 - Tuesday)
Being under-worked and overpaid isn't as great as one might think. The
boredom can kill. At least when you're supervisor's around, you're forced
to look busy, and so you feel busy. But when no one's around to see how
under-worked you are, it's beyond words.
(170303 - Monday)
For the first time in a very very very long time, I left work early because
I wasn't feeling so good. Well, I woke up at 7am to go for my 8am class,
but turns out it was canceled. Of course I only found out when I reached
the classroom. So it was off to work at 7.30am on a Monday morning. Cleared
my tray, attended to some Forum affairs, and came back. Pretty much slept
the rest of the day.
(160303 - Sunday)
Have you been to the highly acclaimed Putrajaya or Cyberjaya lately? Nothing
fancy there, at the moment. I was quite impressed with their massive buildings
and structures. Some had quite sophisticated architectural designs. But
it still has a "This site is under construction" status. I believe
it will be at least another year before it becomes a proper tourist site.
Although I would give them credit for one thing. One of my colleagues
from the Netherlands commented - "Putrajaya clearly shows Malaysia's
aspirations". I agree with him completely, and I cannot wait for
them to finish the masterpiece.
(150303 - Saturday)
The ball is rolling and there's no stopping it now. This is probably the
biggest challenge I've ever taken on. I still have my doubts, but I'm
determined to make it work.
(140303 - Friday)
Never leave things to the last minute. It leaves you too little room to
correct errors when they occur.
(120303 - Wednesday)
My first movie in almost a month... and it wasn't as bad as people say
it is. In fact, I enjoyed it even though I'm feeling so under the weather.
My body is falling apart. Nothing feels right. Lifeless as I am, emotions
are still stirring inside. A storm is building, and I dread the moment
it unleashes itself.
(110303 - Tuesday)
Such a wonderful dinner at Chilli's... such a pity the portions were too
big to enjoy.
(100303 - Monday)
Malaysians just love promoting our country to foreigners. And that's a
fact!
(090303 - Sunday)
It was a gruesome day. Only an hour's worth of shuteye over a duration
of 33 hours - and it was in the car. Of course my mood wasn't good. What
more with the heat, and all the running about at the fun fair. However,
I must admit, it didn't turn out as bad as I expected it to be. Nor did
we perform as well as intended. Ah well, another lesson learnt - be more
selective when choosing someone to lead.
(070303 - Friday)
Even more problems arised today. Problems relating to the fun fair, but
of no relevance to my duties. Yet everyone just keeps calling me to inform
me about this that and the other going wrong. And then I'm expected to
give them solutions.
I'm finally out of the Forum 2003 organizing committee. Good bye and
good riddens to that. I just found out that they're changing the date
once again, because the date of another event has changed, opening a better
date for this one. So now, if I really want to, I can allocate some time
for the committee. Unfortunately, I DON'T want to. Too much stress is
not good for a person. Can you believe that someone says I've lost weight?
I never had any weight to lose in the first place! Truly a symptom of
stress.
(060303 - Thursday)
Why is it that whenever something goes wrong, people look to me for solutions?!
I'm not always the best person to ask. I'm not always equiped with the
necessary information to get the job done. Sometimes, God forbid but I
know less than the person who passes the problem on to me. What do you
expect me to do? The best I can do I try, and hope for the best. Usually
things work out, but why can't others try, and hope for the best? Why
do they have to toss it to me? So that I can be the scapegoat if things
go wrong? Hell - don't get me involved! I just want to be left alone to
sort through the other thousand and one problems I'm facing.
(050303 - Wednesday)
Such a slow and uneventful day. Yet I'm all worn out. And I still got
tonnes to do!
(040303 - Tuesday)
Got my Oakleys already. RM650.00, a good RM40 below the price I was prepared
to pay. Wonderful!
(030303 - Monday)
Check out the date! I can't wait for another year and a day to pass.
I'm seriously looking into the idea of having my club put together next
year's forum. Response from members has been very promising. We'll soon
know the club's decision.
Have you ever been so upset at someone because they did something wrong
unintentionally? Well, just be sure that it was UNINTENTIONAL and let
go. We all make mistakes, and we all have other more pressing matters
at hand. Realise it and move on!
(020303 - Sunday)
Ignorant people are all over the place... and they choose to ignore the
consequences. The hell with them, as long as they don't drag me down with
them.
Anyone know how to update a webpage with layers which was created using
Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks? I sure have no clue. I'm thinking
of building one from scratch to replace the one which has fallen into
my hands for updating, all because of it's complexity. The HTML codes
are a complete mess, totally beyond comprehension. Or maybe I just need
tuition.
(010303 - Saturday)
A day to remember indeed. Cassie just had triplets. Hope they last this
time. I've been nominated to be President of the Leo Club of Kuala Lumpur
Unity for the fiscal year of 2003/2004. Of course this pends approval
from the rest of the club.
To add to that, after announcing my decision to resign from the D308B1
2003 Leo Forum Committee, I've been influenced to initiate MD308 Leo Forum
for 2004, immediately. The Charter President of my club, and some of the
'ancients' are very enthusiastic about this, how do I say no? Is there
no end to this?!
Life goes on...
