WHOLE WORLD CRUSHING ON YOU
I'm not a happy-happy person. That's not me. That's not Josh. In my miserable state of being, I honestly seek refuge in simple things to make me happy. Am I too complicated? Do I want too much out of life? Maybe. I do know that nothing works easy for me or I have never walked out an absolute WINNER in anything. NEVER EVER. Never ever got the BIG breaks I needed.... When I get one good thing happening, the next one is far, far away... applies to everything... job, business, whatever.
I want to be able to smile, able to laugh... but I know when I do .... somehow the world around me HATES IT. The world complains about me being miserable but when I try to change to a shiny happy person, everyone like gets miserable around me. Weird.
Sometimes I feel like the killer in the movie Se7en. "In this world you have to really hit someone on the head to make that person listen to you" or something like that.
Anyway, kudos to my family and mel for putting up with me. I know I cant stand me. I am utterly convince.. iamnotahappyperson.

SINKING FUND... EMPTY POCKETS
You know what bittersweet is? Now I do. The meaning is so clear. Har har... but this wasnt that bad... Well.... I finally got the VACANT POSSESSION letter (the one that tells you... Gee we would like to give you the keys to the condo that you are killing yourself paying every month for but now... us POOR CASH STARVED developers need to SUCK you MORE $$$$$.... So this PLUS that PLUS that equals....) .... RM1776.63. That's how much I had to pay. Crumbs. I even remember the figure so well coz I watched the developer admin person count my blood earned cash.... and this was doubly counted by my salesman.. .WOW LOOKING AT HIM COUNT MONEY ... This guy is loaded. His smile is so "I'm an honest salesman" , remembers everyone by name ..... no wonder he is the top salesman there... unbelievable....
So it's SWEET that I got that darn VACANT POSSESSION letter to get my keys (not yet ... now I have to get ANOTHER LETTER telling me YES I CAN GET THE KEYS NOW).... its BITTER I'm starved of more blood earned money.... haha
The only thing that I'm a bit POed right now is the RM250 per quarter sinking fund. Gosh. Sinking fund = money to paint the exterior walls and pool cleansing. Great. Anyway, guess I am a contributing MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY.
Thanks for sinking me, SINKING FUND..... And I'm POed at the damn officer I called regarding the payment details. On the letter it says "CALL US FOR DETAILS" but when you call its like ... "HEY STUPID PURCHASE, ITU PUN TAK FAHAM.... AKU MALAS NAK LAYAN"... Dammit... take my money ... you should treat me like KING STOOPID - CUSTOMER IS KING!!!
That's Malaysian customer service for you. Anyway I cant complain much since he wasnt that rude... It was just the sound of his voice that made me feel that way.
HOUSING DEVELOPERS = Selling you a concept that will be totally different from what you purchase + EVERYTHING CAN before you buy to CANNOT or PAY MORE + GIVE YOU A BOX with concrete walls to live in and promise a paradise
PURCHASER = Poor middle class earner spends almost all his half salary on a "dream" home every month which will cost him more hair loss in more payments, renovation..... just to taste that new comfort
'Nuff said.

WHERE AND WHEN
Went out with Hoe on Saturday. Mel, he and I had breakfast at Eatsun. Service kinda bad this time. We teased Hoe, saying that everywhere we eat with him, service turns bad.... like the other time at Planet Hollywood.... when he didnt get his change and his card was frauded supposedly by one of the waitresses (have boycotted Planet since)... like the first time at Fish n' Co where he and I waited 40 minutes long for our Fish n' rice..... and this time at Eat Sun imagine the dim sun tolley lady, brought the dim sum stuff to the table behind us and then skipped to the table in front of us not before I screamed, "HELLO???"... HOE MAYBE IT REALLY IS YOU! Har, har....
Anyways, we dropped Mel off to work after walking around Bkt Bintang and drinks at dome together with Jimmy. Jimmy got a new Sony Ericsson Handphone...
I met up with Hoe again at Taman Billion at 5:45... parents attended the evening service at Charis... with only a handful of people.... it was raining... Malaysians are very fond of blaming on the rain.... "Late for work - RAINING LARRR".... "Played football badly today... RAINING LARRR"..... "Couldn't met up with you... RAINING LARRR"....
Anyways, Hoe and I headed off to PJ and found this great wardrobe maker... I potentially could now do a nice walk-in at a low price.... Hopefully can get it done next month....
We had dinner at Ikano, looked around Harvey Norman, Apple Studio, Ikea and reached home at 10pm.... A full day.
Mel had to work again on Sunday... too much work and stress..... Hoe and I and the rest of the guys played our usual Sunday futsal... We dont understand why this week our team was not clicking and subsequently lost 0-4, 0-1, 0-4 in 3 FIFA sized sessions... Crumbs... had a succesful session at the end thought against a Malay team and netted a hatrick though my team crumbled 4-5.
I wonder if anyone READS or could EVER be entertained by this thoughtless stuff I'm bloggin'. Anyway - it helps me remember WHERE this happened and WHEN.....
