ho..ho..ho..its santa in the house..people, here i am, sitting down in front of a boring pc in the computer lab..why it is boring? simply because...i cannot use it to download a lots of stuffs, in fact, it is so boring until i cant even check my banking account on-line. all this firewall stuffs..damn it!!

do not get me wrong, i have to admit, today is another beautiful day for me. after spending the whole nite/morning in this fairy lab this morning, i went to sleep at around 7am. i suppose to wake up by 10, get ready to go out. i got a very important misson today..that is to have a lone-walk day. i want to spend today, with stuffs that i have been wanting to do..and i am going to do all of them..all by myself. its not i dont like to go out with friends and all, but this is my nature..and i guess many of you too..at certain point of time, you just want to do stuffs on your own , at your own pace, and get your personal satisfaction.

happened to be( and actually i know this is goin to happen)..i managed to wake up..but at 12pm..hehehe...had shower, do some stuffs, and i was ready to go..it was 1.55, and i was already at the bus station. and that was the time when the bus was suppose to arrive. waited until 1.10, still, there was no glance of the bus. i decided to walk back to the apartment, and take some stuffs that i forgot to bring(i was in rush, so its normal to miss one or two stuffs, tho..)..got them on, and i headed my way to stef's place. as i planned to take the 2.25 bus, it still hae time for some chit-chat..that shall be more intersting than sitting down on the floor, not knowing what to do. god bless me..stef and rakin were just about to coock lunch. today's menu..fried rice. knowing that i hadn't had lunch, they invited me to join them. and there was no reason for me to reject that offer. i took charge in frying the rice(thats what i love to do most)...sedapnyer..masakan aku..!!! kenapa, tak percaya ker? impliedly, i shall miss the 2.25 bus and need to resort to 2.55 bus. this time, again i missed the bus..why? i was having converstion with jeff regarding some matters about the internship program.we are going to have a business forum every friday evening...speakers? they were as below:

Jeff, later took the liberty to send me to the bus terminal, and there my journey begins..

for your info, there is a guy...one of the bus driver that has been successfully notice that there are a group of asians that will always go to wal-mart and do shoppintg like nobody's business. he is a black man that i could label as the most happening guy i ever meet.(in bus drivers' category)..he will..without fail, warning us to not to shop too much, so there will still be some leftover stuffs for other people to buy. as i was in the bus, i took out my notebook and skethed something about this guy..here it is..
guys, i have been trying to scan the page i wrote but something wrong with the scanner, so i guess i shall just copy what i had on paper for you guys...

i'm back, currently in the bus, on my way out ............. it has been a beautiful day, i 'll tell you why..
-pakcik bas - dia ni happy go lucky aje, tegur je semua orang. aku sangat seronok dapat jumpa dengan orang macam ni. even dalam bas ada tulis 'do not talk to driver when the bus is moving', dia ni rock giler ..slmbe je. orang macam ni, kehidupan dia best pasal tak terlalu rigid & terikat dengan peraturan2 dan undang2 manusia. memang seronok tengok pakcik bas ni.sembang dgn semua orang, gelak-gelak. orang pun ikut gelak dgn dia. aku ingat lagi time fathers' day, dia bawak bas, kitorang kelua, dia, sambil bawak bas, used the mic (explaination untuk korang-microphone ni tujuan dia was for the driver to inform passangers the current location of the bus the moment it arrived in destinations) to give so-called fathers' day wishes...'to all fathers in the house, happy fathers' day, and to those who are thinkin to be one, you better think again....hahahahahaa....

the bus driver, seemed to be knowing where am i going...i got battlefeild mall, barns and noble, target, shoe carnival, and south wal mart in my list. the moment i was to board off the bus in battlefeild..he stopped me and said..'make sure you have your list,and stick to it'..hehe..macam tau2 je aku nak shopping...

went to express, i could not belive my eyes..the pants that i was abou to buy last 3 days...went to 9.90 from 14.99 earlier..hehhe..this is a good thing.. instead of getting a khaki, i got myself a jeans .. and the khaki..hhehehe(gelak jahat). later, went around the place...bought a birthday present for my friend, get a congratz card for my brother..as i dont feel any need to go to barnes and nobles today, i scrapped it off my list.

got back on the bus, the same driver again, as the bus moved we started to have conversation - a normal one, the country i am from, what am i doing here, etc. he, managed to give me some advise..never get married early if you want to excel in life, girlfriend is o.k, but not a wife..you'll tend to be dragged away..' sigh, i, at some point, bought that idea..but i never want to jump into any decision yet..menyemak otak je pikir benda2 ni...

went to target, got myself a mosimmo's athletic tee..at 9.90. later walked to shoe carnival. there wasn't much choice..some good shoes, were too expensive for me to afford..so, cuci mate je la..thats the goal of going out today,anyway...got a foot-long sandwich at subway, and my journey continues...

south wal-mart..the next destination to go...let me try to recall what did ovethere...yup, nothing much..bought rakin's call card, stef's solution ..and some junks for tonight's syahz's birthday surprise...what did i get for myself...?i guess nothing...hehhe..

got back home, yup, again ... met the same bus driver...i was really hungry..bought pizza from smal mart..11.45 pm, everybody was set at syahz's place..12.00am..wait no more..surprise, surprise syahz...happy 23rd birthday..bob, camme, and baini bought that delicious oreo cheese cake, all the junks that i brought..finished in less than 30 minutes..

after that..here i come..i am here in the pc lab..got to finish everything fast..need to wake up early tomorrow. visit to peregrine corp...bus at 7.15..bye people..see ya later...
