I'm a big fan of controversy actually. I don't really think it's useful or good actually (sometimes) but I really like them. It makes life interesting.
In the past few years, I've tried really hard to curb my well-known temper. Yes, VERY well known in secondary school days. I believe I've curbed it successfully too. I don't lose it too easily and it makes life easier.
Once of the best examples would be the former 1G editorial at K-T-A-R when the ed (really amusing and NOT amusing at the same time) kept changing and changing the contents and ideas for the editorial. Nyum. Somehow, the other depts didn't redo anything but the Graphics Dept had to change our work (I'm so happy my dept was so understanding) just about four or five times. No problem right?
There was actually. We had DATELINES to adhere to on all those CHANGES. And we MADE those datelines only to have either the ed or the co-ed tell us, 'Oh, sorry, we're going to have to change...'
Seriously. Was it any surprise I Resigned after I completed the Prototype? Geez. The jokers must've thought it was such a f-ing breeze to do such stuff because they never bothered to keep fighting for it to be out. In fact, I believe and KNOW that, once I resigned, the whole thing just sort of...stopped. F to the maximum degree.
Why am I complaining? I agreed to do the work. If boss wants it changed, change la. What's my problem?
I had to f-ing do all the EDITTING work for one. With three other dept eds, one ed in chief and one co-ed, you would think the job would be done. EVERY article had to be editted for simple GRAMMATICAL mistakes and spelling errors. A, even had the cheek to tell me, don't edit the 'purposeful' errors. Hello b-dy head? I'm not stupid.
Then, the mag was supposed to be 30 pages. And those f-ing i's gave me THIRTY articles exactly. More Than Half the articles didn't even reach 150 words. How the f-ing h was I suppose to make 30 pages? And the articles! Lousy! No direction given by the dept eds to their reporters and writers on what the f to write. So they wrote on stuff like...'How to Remember your Dreams'. That one was a record. only 62 words. Haha. That's ONE article for you. to be fitted into ONE page. What size font was I to use? 100? So, you guessed it, I WROTE about 9 PAGES worth of articles. PERSONALLY.
And they thought I was overreacting?!?!!?
Anyway, it's all in the past. I don't hold grudges against those people. I just think they make f-ing lousy bosses for NOT doing what their job titles entails. The 'and more' part is just an extra. They could've told us the problems they faced with finance and see what bright ideas a team of b-dy 35 people could come up with! (as it was, my graphics dept had to divide the letters of the dictionary among ourselves to think up names for the thing. what's the f-ing WRITING dept doing with a staff of 12 people compared to my 6?)
So, when bozu changed the layout suddenly after telling me his set theme and asking me to make a banner. All this memories of irritatingness rushed back and served to heighten the sensation of deja vu and, well...irritatingness.
Well, haha. I'm not taking any of the likes no more at least until I reach the working world. Hence, I wanna and I'm gonna quit being the bozu's sendiri punya lai list of 'workers'. Doesn't anybody check who's more capable before appointment? Humph.

Dead on My Feet (and still Socialising!)
Heh, I'm dead tired. Pui C asked me why wasn't I out clubbing or whatever tonight (it's a Saturday!). My answer is, I'm Dead on My Feet. Think about it, class was pretty stretchy yesterday, then I had to sit in the 'peak' hour jam along Federal Highway and Sungai Besi way (surprisingly, Pandan roundabout was devoid of cars at 8pm).
Then, eat fast, took a quick shower, changed my clothing and bam, I'm on my way out again within half an hour. Partee partee! Don't mind me but, the party was a little lamo. The guests were interesting though. The house *makes an obscene moan* was gorgeous! It was N-Y-U-M! The seven feet deep man-made pond was delectable! With the cute serene waterfall at the far end and those huge koi fish...eek! It screams to me to go and admire it. And I did! (Sorry to my girlfriend Sue and Emma because I didn't take photo. F.D 3 still haunts my dreams! *rolls eyes*)
Anyhow, fast-forward! I left the part about fifteen minutes after I arrived (just as the other girls were starting to get used to noisy me! dang I wished I'd gotten the chance to know them a little better!). It's off to Subang! Then Kelvin the meanie-poo (he said something about church) didn't answer my SMS. So we went past and took the NPE (New Pantai Expressway, Emma and Linda! Geez) straight into Shah Alam to find Ikin.
Bang bang around and tada! Ikin's not home or something. Sheesh. Mean girl. Asked us to go get her and she's not to be found. (She claims her hp was off and she WAS home. oh well.) So, we bang around again and went to that funny place that has 100 types of roti canai. That day's roti was Roti...*drumroll!* TELUR! Hahahahahhaa, betcha thought I was gonna order Roti KLCC because I keep harping about it. Maybe next time, yeah? Oh, Ikin met up with us there in a bit. She's having some serious guy problems!
Bang bang! Somehow, we reach home. Oh yeah, wasn't it something, the way we kept taking all the expressways and highways (the ones with the tolls unlike FEDERAL aka PERSEKUTUAN) without having change or enough money on Ray-boy or my own TnG? Heh, gamble la! My smallest note is fifty, you know? Pay RM1.50 toll fee with it? Siao ah lu!
At least, I reached home at about...1 something? God knows what the others did. But they were tired too so guess their destination was beds too. Not the same one though! I had to pack my stuff for class tomorrow morning (aka this morning now or rather yesterday morning since it's now past midnight). My room was and still is a mess. Nichii bags around the floor, clothes strewn on everything, my books and notes and random papers were just stacked up in many little piles on my bed, practically covering it...ugh. Oh well, just sweep everything to the floor and tada, space to sleep. (Pau-chan's probably shaking her head right now) By the time I actually slept, it was about 2.30am.
This morning (sheesh, last time I'm gonna state this; THIS morning = Saturday morning aka YESTERDAY morning) woke up at five to eight. Morning business as usual. Then breakfast! Curry maifun at BBA Chuan Hupp. Nyum...nyum? The taste is there but the smell is absent, hence I only ate about slightly more than half the bowl. Then it's off to class.
I reached there about an hour plus earlier. Argh! Why isn't there anywhere to sleep in UTAR?
Class was pretty fun. I think I'm beginning to get over my anti-Chinese language attitude. I think I'm going to love it as much as Japanese. =) I can't wait to pick up brush writing again actually. No idea why. Lau Shi Lau would be so pleased with me, or not!
THEN, it's lunch and the Kelvin-Got-SUPER-Lost fiasco. (Oh, in case Bozu's still wondering, yeah, I AM MekZ) I shall not even talk about such a sad thing on my blog. I'll bitch about it later on his blog. Haha. me and Ista got lots to say about it, yeah!
I only got home about 6pm. Actually, I totally forgot I promised Wai Leng and Pui C I'd go to the art gallery opening at CENFAD with them. Oops. Luckily they SMSed to tell me they pushed back the meeting time by half an hour more. Lucky lucky!
Bang bang. And hour plus later and I'm out the door again. The art gallery was pretty cool actually! The fashion show...has some real good talent and some, to be questioned ones. But all of them really are fashion designers! To the CORE! The other arts on display were awesome. I particularly liked the Jay Chou mic stand (hope Vincent don't get big-headed yeah!), the Rive (is that right?) and a few of the architecture models on display. Big smile!
Oh, a special shoutout to that one guy I met in the section featuring designs for ads or something? I totally forgot to ask your name and I totally forgot to give you mine. That was just HOW tired I was. Socialising but forgetting the basics. ^^; I think your BAG design rawks! The t-shirt...heh. As I said, I'd buy the t-shirt just to get the bag! You'll get better! Don't be too lazy next time k! =)
What else, oh yeah. I met interesting people at that art show. I'm glad I went! I met an interesting girl too because I decided to go to the art show and she's none other than the girl who was in the car with me! Her initials are MY but I'm rather scared to type her name because I'm not sure how it's spelled!
Oh, and if anyone needs my services in writing for them, reviews, caption-writing, etc, I'm open to it! I do it willingly and VOLUNTARILY (that's what we all wanna hear hmm? free stuff) because I like it and it's a great way to meet people and connect. I'll only charge for my services when I really get better and more pro (aka more requests and the kaching kaching potential just cannot be ignored any longer).
I got back about 11 something just now. I'm seriously, dead tired. I need to do my homework tomorrow, clean up my room and sllleeeeeppppp! Today it must be done. Maybe I'll even have time to wash the car's exterior? Damn the dusty UTAR area.
It is now, ugh, 1.13am. I need to get up at 8 again.

Blogging
Is one of the frustrations in life I face. Uh huh. I start one, I write a bit, and then I forget all about it. Oh, accept two 'Hidden' ones. *shrug* Whatever. Oh, Pau, I still haven't forgot my story blog. Maybe I'll release it once it's totally complete? *whenever that is*
Oh, hey, ppl. My name is *** **** but you can call me Max*** or, I prefer to use my online handle when I'm online, Memedi. You wanna add -kun, -chan, -san, -sama or -dono does not matter to me. Flames? I'm immune to them!
Anyhow, well, what am I suppose to blog about now? I have blogs galore that I'm dried out. Hmm, well, Bozu wants to start a JR blog or maybe a Just Our Bunch blog or something. Wanna use this one? I'll get working on the graphics if you want...
Seriously, doesn't anyone uses L***J******? Oh well.
Classes have begun at university. I've met lots of people *god, i'm socialising...again* who're interesting. Hmm, lecturers seem ok. English lec though, Thumbs Up!
Yes, I'm just lazy to type right now. Wait until I'm in the mood. Right now, I'm so hungry I just wanna smash the keyboard. Lunch has not arrived home yet. *sniffles*
Okay, later then.
