A: Hi, Tini.
Me: Tini? My name’s Tina.
A: WHAT?! YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR NAME?!
Me: What are you talking about? My name is Tina!
A: You said your name was Tini.
Me: It’s Tina. It’s you who forgot my name is Tina.
This was, I think, the second or third time I talked to the boy who is now the love of my life. I’m his Tini. 
This made me laugh so hard!! I don’t know if you’ve watched the Budweiser adverts, but this was just too much!!
It cheered up my gloomy Monday. Laughing aloud (seorang diri) in the office is not a good sign.
If you need more cheering up, or you’re feeling worse than I am, then watch the bloopers.
My hats off to these guys. LOL. 
I know I am always the joker, and you think that I am never serious, but please, please read this. This goes out to my cousins, namely: Nicha, Alif, Aminul, Yasmin, and most probably Nazmi.
Darlie, the toothpaste that I mentioned to you guys in my car when we were out visiting people’s houses, was (once upon a time) called Darkie.
Yes, I joke around, and always mess up facts just to be funny (in the lamest, but still funny way.) But really, here are my supporting evidence. There are more, but I would just like to link these two:
Look! I’ll make you a deal. If you’re too lazy to click those links, I have an image to share! 
I really hate doing this, but I TOLD YOU SO! LOL. 
I wish I can take leave from work, but as it is well-known, I can’t take my leave until I’ve passed my one-year mark. I think work has taken its toll on me, I’ve been feeling quite disoriented lately. Or probably because of everything around me is breaking down. First, the television. Then, my chair. Now, the Internet at home is broken.
A technician from TelBru came by after work yesterday, and it wasn’t my modem after all. Well, it’s all still inconclusive as he has to check again since there is nothing coming in from the phone lines to the modem even when he tried with a brand new modem that he had brought with him.
One thing I find funny about no Internet at home is that, I’m not sure why I have an entry saying I will have no updates. Haha. (Just in case you don’t get it, it’s only at home that I don’t have access to the Internet. 
)
Never mind.
Anyway. I went out for dinner last night with Atul and Nonnie at Cheezbox and finally had a taste of its Ultimate Chocolate, which I prefer warm. Can it be piping hot so that when it cools down, it gets warm, not cold? The first bite was orgasmic (haha), and the bites after that.. not so much. It cooled down fast, so it wasn’t as good as the first bite.
Atul had picked Nonnie and I up for dinner, hence she had to send us back (with her new car, ahem). She sent me back first, and when I got out, taking full advantage of the empty, incomplete house right next to mine, I freaked them both out by pointing out that there was something in the trunk. LOL.
Sorry, girls. I didn’t know I freaked you out so bad, Atul had to recite the Ayat Kursi to calm them down. Heehee.
Going to be a tad busy these days leading up to the weekend.. Bowling later with a few friends from ITB, and lunch tomorrow with my girls. When it’s all mixed up with my exercise schedule, it’s going to be tight. So hopefully this weekend, I won’t have much to do but just have a lazy one.
Off to do some real work now. Until next time!
(And I’ll do this meme soon.)
Quite bummed that Harry Potter’s next movie installment, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, release will be changed to summer of 2009 instead of this year, but this video is a funny one.
Hm, catchy.
In other news, a big shout out to my cousin, Dina, who’s celebrating her 4th installment of her 20th birthday! Have a great one, Din Din!
I found this on Ka Ety’s blog, and YA RABBI, CALINYAAAA!! I haven’t laughed this hard since the boyfriend left for training.
I am not dangerous, I am Perrrssiann~
I think Maz Jobrani is funnier than Ahmed Ahmed, though. Go rummage through YouTube and search for the videos of the comedy tour.
If I spend anymore, I will be broke. Break, broke, broken. Where did my financial management (or lack thereof) went wrong?!
I survived ITB with B$248 per month, survived The Studio wages (if you’d like to call it that) at less than B$500 per month.. WHERE? Where on earth did it go wrong? Don’t tell me it’s my car. I survived on The Company salary, and the car costs half of it, and I survived that too.
What is wrong with July??
I really have to stop spending. Or cut my credit card in half.
Cemanatah ku kan kawin ni mun nada duit??
Speaking of getting married, my cousin took me seriously when I told him I’m getting married next year. You know, it was one of those “When’s your turn?” times. It was after one of my cousin’s wedding recently, and it went a little like this:
Abang H: Bah, lapas ani ko ah? (Translation: OK, you’re going to be next [to get married], yea?)
Me: Inda eh, lapas ani si N jua. (T: No, N is next.)
This fact is true because another cousin of mine is getting married, at the end of this month. His sister, actually! Haha. Anyway. On with the rest of the conversation, which is really just the end.
Me: Aku next year lah saja. (T: I’ll just get married next year.)
I laughed it off with him, and I assumed he knew I was kidding. I think he sort of missed it, because his other sister, Ka Rina, went up to me during a family doa selamat on a different day, and asked, “I heard you were getting married next year. Is it true?”
The seriousness in her tone and facial expression were priceless!
I never really got questions about when I’m getting married, this was just recent, and I tell you, I’m enjoying them! Haha. I like telling people I’m getting married next year. Keep them excited. It feels like I’m really getting married next year, hahaha.
Silly. Hm, that actually got rid of my financial woes. Haha.
President Bush, First Lady Laura and Dick Cheney were flying on Air Force One. George looked at Laura, chuckled and said, “You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.”
Laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, “I could throw ten $100 bills out the window and make ten people very happy.”
Cheney added, “That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.”
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot “Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.”
I have got a kind of sting on my shin, and since I was at the beach yesterday (fooling about in the water, not swimming), my mom was a bit worried. Why I said “a kind of sting”, is that it has all the right symptoms of being a sting except for a puncture wound. Anyway. Mom worried that it might have been a jellyfish and I should get it checked, and so I did.
I ended up being given antibiotics, an ointment, and two days medical leave. Funny story, that.
The doctor asked if I wanted medical leave. I said, “No, I don’t think I need any.”
He said, “Are you sure? I can give you two days off. Tuesday and Wednesday. So you can rest your leg.”
I tried to convince him that I didn’t need leave, while saying, “It’s OK” repeatedly, but I caved in. I told him I’ll take one day off, though. The reason why I didn’t want any was because this week will be my last week at The Statutory Body, and I don’t want to miss anything. But I figured a day couldn’t be so bad. So he said, “All right then,” and went off to get it done.
As I was sitting on the bed, my mom and sister right next to me, the doctor popped in again, and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want two days? I’ll give you two days. Two days lah, then you can really rest.”
I swear, it was as if he was bargaining. LOL.
But he’s such a sweet doctor. Very nice. And funny, apparently. So I took it. I’m not planning on taking two days, but we’ll see.. as my shin doesn’t look and feel as good as it was this morning. Yikes.
Anyway. Off to bed for now.
I watched American Idol tonight, it was the boys’ turn again. Ten of them performed, I only managed to catch six as I returned home from work late because of Knowledge Sharing (a mid-weekly thing that The Company has every last hour of the working day.) But! I thought, out of the six, David Archuleta was the best. He performed brilliantly, and I think his vocals were amazing!
Loved it, absolutely loved it. He came to my attention only during Hollywood week, because I missed the San Diego auditions where he sang John Mayer’s Waiting On The World To Change. If you missed it too, here’s a video from Hollywood week, with a clip from his first audition.
I didn’t watch Jason Castro perform this week (and I can’t be bothered to watch the re-run), but judging by the recap, I didn’t think he did as good as he did last week.
On to another topic: tomorrow’s my last day at The Company, and I start at the new place on Saturday. People are wondering why I’m not taking a break. I personally think that if I take this Saturday off, and have a long weekend, I’ll be extra nervous about starting new. It’s unbelievable, though. The things that I need to be mentally prepared for.
I think physically, I’m fine, because I wasn’t unemployed for long months and early mornings are like nothing, so.. I think I’m going to be all right.
Can you just hear me pepping myself up? LOL.
Speaking of work, The Company had an event called Movie Outing Weekend (or other) on last Sunday afternoon, and we watched Vantage Point at The Empire cinema. I brought my sister along as my plus one, and it was great. I had a great time. The day before, on a Saturday night (Brunei’s 24th National Day), my family and I watched Jumper, also at The Empire cinema. There were a total of 30 — initially 26 — of us. When we called the cinema up to book for tickets, he asked in a disbelieving yet serious tone, roughly translated from Malay to English, “Are you serious? Are you serious to book 20 tickets?”
And I said, in an equally serious tone, “Yes. Adults. And six children.” And he just had to ask again. And again. And he didn’t stop until I promised him that I will be there to collect the tickets in 15 to 30 minutes. LOL. I still find it funny until today.
“Banar kah ni kan booking 20 tickets? Banar kah?”
ROFL. FUN-NEE.
Both movies were great, I loved Jumper, and I don’t know why people felt it was incomplete. I think it was the lack of information of how Jumpers came about, and Paladins. And the sort. I loved it, nonetheless. I give Jumper 4 out of 5 stars, Vantage point 3.5 out of 5 stars. (Ooh. So I rate movies. So sue me. LOL.)
I’m going to head to bed and get some rest. I happen to be having a tiring week, what with the boyfriend being away. Funny. He was always away, but seeing that he’s in another country, he’s just.. farther away? *shrugs*
What I do know, is that I miss him loads. 
I think I need to see more David Archuleta videos. His singing cheers me up.
