Step class today.

Gloomy............... But the sun is actually shining behind.
Morning BodyStep classes are moving into the worst period ever.

Only 1 member or even none on Thursdays 7am, 2 or less on Mondays 915am. What happened.

Some say it's because of the summer holidays and most of the members are on vacation. But I just don't think so. It just felt kinda weird, and a little sad too, seeing the classes....'die'.

Sometimes I do wonder whether it's because of me, the newbie? The one who only cues when I do the moves not before I do the moves. There're always complain, when you're new. That's just, unavoidable. Hmph.....

But what I'd heard was Fridays crowd has decreased dramatically too.....Argh. What's wrong. Members got injured at their knee after they do step and they're afraid to do it again? How could we actually solve this problem? Hard right.....correct them on the techniques?
Argh.

I miss those days, when Kim is the soul of BodyStep every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. And I know it's really hard to bring it back.......

Sunday, Family Day

It has been quite some time since me and family went to Butterworth to my cousin sis's place. As I still have my graduation photo taken by so called professional photographer not collected, we decided to go to Butterworth and to visit cousin sis and family.
Reached Penang Jetty and there were a lot of cars. And it started raining heavily. It was pretty cloudy in the morning and it started pouring as we get close to the port. The lining up took quite some time and there we go on board. We noticed leaking in the roof of the ferry. Several leaking spots and the floor is wet. It looks as though it's raining in the ferry.

*There's a lil river in the ferry!*

Then we reached Butterworth Jetty and it was still raining non-stop. Went to the photo studio first and I found that the frame and the wordings that I paid extra for is not what I expected. The wordings are not directly printed into our photos but is attached with the frame of the photo. That means it's the same for everyone. With no name of person, no course of study and no grade of graduation. Pretty disappointing as compared to what UTAR offers sis. One 4R photo of the slide on the day was taken loop sided as well. Overall, I could actually choose not to take the frame. After all, it's just diploma right....Haha.


And then we head to cousin sis's house. She cooked holiao as our lunch. Holiao as in fish, soup, duck, vegetables and pork leg! Haha...and to families had lunch together. It all tasted pretty good and I got quite full after lunch. And we started the chit-chat session with lotsa laughter. I felt kinda sleepy after all the nice food but havta do quite a lot of talking which kept me awake. Talked about some of my products and I'm pretty glad that she's willing to use it. Haha so some business done before we left butterworth.

Dad decided to take the ferry back to Penang. And the queue was really long at Butterworth jetty. It took us almost 1.5 hours to cross back to Penang. Reason? Not enough ferries? More and more consumers started using ferries to go across mainland after the huge price rise? Well, actually one of the reason is one of the ports broke down. Haha, don't really how to put it in words but, haih, it's pretty sad to see this happen. And it's pretty frustrating to wait in the car doing nothing for 1.5 hours. Why can't the government just develop properly something which is profitable? I just don't get it.

So it was near to 7pm when we reach the island. Went to Red Garden for dinner, food was expensive and proportion was too little. Inflation!

*Cham peng at RM1.50!! Like I'm in KL mamak stalls...*

Haha....so I ended my day. It felt pretty good spending with my family, and good food! Even though we had some time wasted in between.

A Post

I know I'm being really quiet, nowadays. Maybe I just need a little rest?
I guess I'm supposed to post something here.
Whatever it is, just something.

Have been out of touch for more than a week.
Felt guilty to those people who...erm.stop by quite often to check out for updates?

Haha. Have been a little busy with some random stuff lately. Just a little actually.
Follow up on stuff regarding my studies in Hong Kong, movies catching, friends meeting, classes replacing...blah blah.
Very random. And yea, working at FF.
Owh and one more thing, I got hooked up with this not really famous online game-Highstreet5. It's a game similar to Audition. Haha. Quite fun actually, and the songs there are updated. Enjoyable, although I'm still a beginner at level 2.

There are some changes going on in my life, here and there.
And I really feel that I'm really goinna leave this place in like just a month plus few more days.
Feels weird. Though I'm not packing up anything yet.

A little announcement.
To those who don't really know what I'm talking about.
I'm leaving for Hong Kong to study in The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Leaving particularly in August 21st. Penang International Airport.
So I'll see you in the airport 1.30pm if you're free? Hehe....

Okay, told ya I don't know what to say. I'm crapping.
I'll update more often kay...I promise. Just to let you guys know that I'm still alive.
Hoho.

Cheers!

It's a bad bad day


I was in the ferry. Saw this bird. Not a crow. It could still walk and fly, but I realized after a moment that it has lost the claws of one of his leg, only the other leg supporting him...~~Spirit of living~~

Caught with flue a few days ago. I thought it was not serious.

Appointed last minute to replace classes again.
And I thought I'm fine with it.

I didn't want what happened last week to reoccur, I asked Sam to inform the members that I'll be replacing the class.

Was working 7 and 9 hours last weekend. A bit sad that I didn't get to go to the annual MATTA Fair in PISA. Although I know that I won't have chance to go for any vacation this year.

I woke up early this morning. Prepared and revised my choreo. But my stomach is telling me something is wrong. Argh...I know I'm not feeling well.
But so what, class has to be continued right?
Too bad I missed the chance to go for McD breakfast with Maylin and Jeanni before class starts.

Bibi's Yoga ended 0916hours. Which is, 11 minutes later than scheduled? So my class did not start on time. Which I think, will cause me into trouble with those Pilates aunties.

As I expected not much people came, but I didn't really prepare for this few. Starting to think of whether I actually made this mess?
Owh, and before I start the class, I rushed to the loo once again to,....ahem ahem. Oh gosh, how am I goinna teach.
It's tired needing to explain why am I teaching instead of somebody else. Anyway, class started at 0925hrs.

The first 2 tracks were pretty good. But not for track 3, everyone still seemed pretty confused. Argh.....I wonder how could I make them do it correctly.... I just don't want them to give up. But when you can't follow you'll automatically stop right? Track 4 was fine. But my running nose got bad after that, and to make it even worse, there is no tissue paper for me to sneeze it off. Okay, bare with it till track 5, where the mic kong-ed off. Track 6, I'm starting to run out of energy. There was even moments where I felt I can't breathe and I'm fainting.=.= Sweat huh....I started talking less and lesser till track 10. Lucky that I did not faint till the end. And class ended 1025hrs. Kitty came in and placed her belongings directly on top of the sound system without waiting for me to clear up. But I was too tired and flu is not doing his good job to stop making me feel unwell. Argh....I'm like even walk properly after the class. Dizzy dizzy dizzy. Janice served me with some Vico and I slowly recover.

It was not a satisfying class, at all. And I'm pretty disappointed with myself.

Had to shower and settle the rest of my list of things to do. And my locker key is LOST!! Argh...searching high and low up n down, where could I put it. As I was not as conscious as I'm supposed to when I came out from class, I thought I left it in the studio. Sneaked in to the studio in the middle of pilates and it was not around the sound system area. Not in the lost and found area and not anywhere in the changing room. Oh god oh god how could this happen. Wasted quite a lot of time searching and at last after Kitty finishes her class I found my key understage area where all the dusts and power points are for the sound system. How could it end up there? Well, would not like to elaborate. Just feel thankful that it's still there.

Went to get some of my stock and went to the jetty to go to butterworth to buy train ticket. Randomly parked my car as usual. As I don't have enough cash I had to search for an ATM machine first. And surprisingly there's not even a single ATM machine all around the bus terminal and train station. So I had to walk a distance to Maybank. And it was 1300hrs. Sultry HOT.
The purchasing of train ticket was smooth, except for the lady on duty was sleeping when I arrive. Malaysians at work...you know la. So when I was about to walk back to the jetty, I saw the next ferry has arrived. So I rushed to exchange money. I brought out RM1 for coins exchange. He gave me 2 50cents. I have another 50cents in my wallet. So I gave him back a 50cents to exchange for smaller value coins. But he said it's not enough and blah blah blah and asked me to bring out another RM1 for exchange. What the......okay by the time all the blah come and go, they closed the entrance gate. The ferry was still there, just that I couldn't enter!

Gotta wait for another one and I really hate when this happens!!

Back to Penang. 1400hrs. Look as though it's goinna rain. And a few minutes later it did. Traffic was congested. Some buses were driving recklessly. Lunch hour, school dismiss hour. Everywhere seemed to be busy. Got a little frustrated when Jeanni told me she didn't tell Logan about me goinna meet him. Argh...never mind. I couldn't make it on time anyway. And the most important thing is....I'M REALLY HUNGRY! I need some FOOD!

Okay, went to Nyonya for my brunch. 1430hrs. Didn't expect Maylin, Jeanni and Sam to come over too. Hehe.

Then, I received a call from a KL number. Wondering who is it, I answered and I found out that it's Kelvin. Hmm...he asked me for a favour. Not hard to do if I'm in a good mood. But at that point of time, I just wanna say no. It could be troublesome. I don't like dealing with banks and I hate dealing with TARC. But still, I have no reason to reject him. And that makes my face even darker than before. I'm so so so so not in good mood, and I need to SLEEP!

So after brunch, I went back too FF for the talk. Big boss was busy so I just dealt with Jaafar. Things got sorted out. Nothing much to be argued. God knows who's right and wrong. Unless I get a time machine to witness what actually happened on that night. I do hope that this won't end up like what I expected it to be, a trap, a shitty trap. So I went off after that. To the bank.

There were so MANY people in queue. Which made me even more.....*?!?!*

Two things to do, get back my refund for the graduation gown, and buy Kelvin's bank draft. 5 more numbers before it's my turn. And I'm losing my patience.

Never mind. What pissed me is when the personnel said that I'll be charged RM2 for the refund of the bank draft. When I asked why, she said because you're cancelling the bank draft. ARGH? Why are banks like dai yi longs? RM2 is not much but what for?? It just doesn't make sense. Haven't you guys already collected RM5 buta-buta commission when we first bought the bank draft? Then now? CHARGE AGAIN? What the hell. Imagine that just to attend my convocation I have to buy 2 seperate bank drafts, each charged RM5 commission, which makes it RM10. And after the return of the gown I'm supposed to drive back to that bank and be charged another RM2 just to get back the money that originally belongs to me? So RM300(The bank draft amount) actually became RM 288 in like what? 2 weeks??? Damn.

After getting Kelvin's bank draft, I drove to TARC. Not much people at this hour. 1610hrs.
Bursary office is still open thank lord. After signing and everything, the lady told me that RM10 late payment will be charged to this bill. **^^%#$#^_*+)(&)%@?? But I don't have my wallet with me!!! My job is just to walk to the freaking office and hand in the bank draft and get the damn receipt and LEAVE! Not to pay any MONEY!! But the lady insisted. Saying that if I don't pay, the bill won't be processed and Kelvin's name will be cancelled off from the school. After much argument and investigation on why the students doesn't even know that they have to settle the bills and late payment imposed after whichever date, I had to DESPERATELY walk back to my car which is parked freaking far under HOT HOT sun to get a freaking RM10 for late payment CHARGE!! Owh, and after going back with the SO IMPORTANT MONEY, the lady told me that the system has already been closed and she can't produce me the bill anymore. WHATTTTT? It's written there office closed 4.30pm and you tell me that your system is closed 3.30pm??? What is this? And you tell me that you guys need to close account? Will the supermarket open until 10pm but tell the customers that the Point of Sales system is closed at 9pm because they need an hour to count money and close accounts for the day and you can only window shop some groceries after 9pm????

THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!

I need to get some sleep dude. Dah la not feeling well, some more let me face all these shit. Yea I really wanna rush into the toilet and grab whichever bunch of shit that comes to my eyes and throw it to all these non-sense making people!

Okay, it's my bad day. Finished grumbling about it.

What's wrong with me? Aih.......

At last something good.
Happened before I call it a day.
