access to internet again...

...tho restricted. in the HOD meeting today, my manager managed to get the stupid fella to open up my network by presenting my case. the stupid fella just kept quiet and didn't put up a fight. cheh! he's weaker than i thought! i thought he'll make a scene by presenting all the evidences of my exploiting the internet to the HOD n CEO... but all he did was just sat there looking down at his (empty) book.

the CEO also didn't say anything or take any sides... after listening to what my manager have to say, he just said, "ic, should open lar hor?" and that's it. case close! apa lar... i was preparing my case for a heated argument, in case my manager see the need for me to go into the meeting room for the defense. i thought up so many things to say to that moron, to make him lose face in front of the rest of the HOD n telling everyone that he plays online games, download mp3 n movies in the office. who's misusing the internet now? *sigh... so tak dramatic langsung... kekeke...

anyway, i gained access to my company e-mail and some sites, including yahoo, hotmail n gmail, but not my jaring acc or my blog. guess i'll just have to be content with blogging thru e-mails then!

i wonder if he's reading this... it goes thru the company server after all. but if he does, then it only goes to show that he's really free, when he should be utilizing his time more efficiently in upgrading the company system instead of blaming us staff of hogging the server.

i bought my skates!

at last, i went ahead n got it, a Risport RF4 model... but the price hiked! my frens got it at RM550, but i had to pay RM600 for it. the fella who sold it to me said they have to raise the price coz the exchange rate for pounds went up. shucks!



anyway, i have not sold my piano yet. but i can't wait anymore. the more advanced i get in skating, the more i'll be used to the skates provided by the rink. so i have to start getting used to my own skates b4 i get 'too attached' to the rink skates. even today, after getting my skates, i went for practice with it. gosh! i feel as if i can't skate anymore! the blades are so sharp compared to the rink skates that it took me sometime to get the hang of it. even so, i still can't skate as well as with the rink skates. still a bit awkward with it. and as with some new shoes, it'll hurt when we wear it for the first few times. so i need to bear with the pain for a few lessons b4 it gets seasoned out. hmm... now i kinda regret waiting until now to get it. first is the price hike, then it's the getting used to. now i feel as if i need to relearn all my steps!



well, every pleasure comes with a price. guess i'll have to survive on bread n water this month. but i won't let it dampen my spirit. still pretty excited abt my new skates!



*for those of u who's wondering, i paid by cash, not charge it on credit. so dun worry abt my debts, but my empty stomach!

heralding 2005

hmm... i think today is the first time in history there's no massive traffic jam towards kl on new year's eve. my housemates went to kl today n on their way back, they expected to see swarms of cars converging to kl. but all were quiet and clear... it's even quieter than normal weekends! i guess most ppl are heeding the PM's advice of canceling all celebrations this year in showing respect for all the victims in the Sumatra earthquake and its aftermath. really a big blast of an ending for 2004.



closer to home, i also had a stinking ending to 2004, brought on by a certain childish, immature and vengeful individual in my company. but i'm not too worried, coz it's a small matter. i have a clear conscience over this n i believe good will triumph over evil in the end.



happy new year!
