Want.

Yana Azhar, look at this baby.

A very whine-y post. (You have been warned)

1. Waking up early (at 8 or 9, that's early for an unemployed person I think) everyday and thinking what should I be doing today? I'm kinda weirded out at the fact that I wake up early on days that I don't have important things to do and don't feel like getting out of bed on days that I have interviews or something else that's important.

2. Do the laundry.

3. Cook for Hazim.

4. Grocery shopping.

5. Run errands like going to the dry cleaners and such.

6. Go out for dinner with the girls if they happen to ask me to join them.

7. Internet is a must.

8. Vacuuming my room, not the house, just my room. Hahahah.

That's not even half of the works of a regular housewife. And still Hannah, you just have to complain and whine.

I have nothing to look forward to everyday besides getting phone calls from employers who'd want to set me up for interviews. My life's a bore, even Baloo has a more exciting social life than I do. I've failed all the interviews I went to, and that made me feel worse. What if I'm the kind that failed in the interview but could do the job as good as everybody else? What if I'm not good at promoting and selling myself? Does that mean that I'm not good at anything else?

WHINE WHINE WHINE SIGH SIGH SIGH *emo song playing*

But on the bright side, I'm going to London this November for my graduation ceremony woooooohoooooooo. Screw you, job-hunting!

I sometimes wish I'm still doing my degree with my friends. I might be 99% insane with all the assignments and tests but at least I'm not at home, alone.

Things with job interviews...

1. You can't say 'I don't know, sir, I'm sorry' because it's considered rude. Instead you say, 'I'm sorry, sir, I'm not so sure.' Though I think there's a big difference between an I don't know and an I'm not so sure. Ah well, for the sake of politeness.

2. If there's more than one interviewer, as you talk, try to look at all of them, so they don't feel like being left out by you.

3. Remember to knock before you enter.

4. If the interviewer is pissing you off, be professional and stay calm.

5. It's not a good idea to talk about things like 'Harry Potter' or 'I can work for long hours providing that I have coffee and sour Skittles' with a serious interviewer. They don't appreciate this little thing called 'fun'.

6. Be fully aware about the table. If it's a transparent table, be careful about what you do with your hands if you happen to place them on your lap underneath the table. You don't wanna be scratching any body parts that aren't suppose to be scratched in public, or you don't wanna be making rude hand gestures.

7. Mirror your interviewer. If they sit in a sort of rigid and straight position, you might as well sit like him. If he's relaxed and leaning back against the chair, you could do the more-polite version of that. (This has been told by a lady in a recruiter firm in Akar Insan, Bangsar)

8. Don't go to the interview with an empty stomach. Nanti bunyi malu dooohh!!!

10 reasons why you're still single, ladies.

1. First-move phobia

Being born male does not gift men with unassailable self-confidence. Men know that they’re supposed to do the running, and they hate it. If you want a date, go and chat him up. He’ll be too delighted to say anything other than “wow, yes!”

By the way, making eye contact with a guy is not the same as “making a move.” Eye contact, no matter how flirtatious you think it is, won't get you very far unless you accompany it with “hello.”

2. Playing hard to get

If you want a man to be interested in you, be interested in him. It works, because all human beings are egomaniacs at heart. Treating ‘em mean only makes ‘em go and find someone else.

You know when someone's trying to ask you out, so don't come over all coy in the misguided belief that it'll make you more alluring. If a handsome stranger asks, “are you all right for a drink?”, he is interested. Don’t just nod, blush, and run away expecting him to follow you. If you find him attractive, accept his offer and strike up a conversation.

When you've been on a date, don't be scared to pick up the phone. Whoever told you to wait for three days (or whatever random number of days) before returning a phone call is an idiot. No man wants a stalker, but letting him know you’re interested is the way to win his heart.

3. Romantic perfectionism

If you wait around for love at first sight, you may be waiting for a very long time. Lust at first sight happens all the time, but it ain’t love until you’ve shared a bathroom. Don’t wait around for that thunderbolt of first-glance love, because you’ll be waiting – and single – for a very long time indeed.

If you have a very narrow idea of your “ideal man”, you may never find someone who lives up to your fantasy. Here’s a revolutionary idea: try a man who’s completely different from your ideal. You may end up surprised – and a lot less single.

4. Appearance insecurity

Don't ruin your social life by cancelling plans every time you get a zit that no man will ever notice because he’s too busy looking at your breasts or (if he was brought up very well, your eyes). Avoid wearing too much make-up, too. The natural look is much more appealing to men than a trowelling of slap. Too much facepaint makes you look desperate, and that’s never a good look when you’re trying to impress.

Similarly, don't let your waistline fixation spoil a romantic meal. A tasty dessert shared with your date could seal the deal on your evening, and it’s unlikely to make a difference to your weight unless you have a date every night this week.

5. Bad man-choices

Fear of being single often drives you to accept dates – and more dates – with men you don’t really fancy. Trouble is, while you’re wasting precious time with Mr OK-I-Suppose, you could be out finding Mr Right.

Or do you head straight past Mr OK-I-Suppose and hand your precious breakable heart to Mr Toxic? He comes in many guises: the serial online dating addict who never takes his profile down; the self-esteem leech who can’t stop criticising; the rebounder who uses you as a cushion after his break-up… they grab women's hearts, take them on a romantic rollercoaster ride for a few weeks, then smash those hearts to pieces. One minute you're dizzy with lust, the next you're devastated. And very, very single.

6. Low tiff tolerance

Do you run away from a relationship as soon as the going gets slightly shouty? While we'd never advocate hanging onto an unhappy relationship, do remember that no relationship can be perfectly happy all the time. Boyfriends are not perfect, relationships are not perfect, and the road to happiness is strewn with ups and downs.

7. Ex-talk

No really, do not mention your ex on a date. Perhaps you were with him for years and he plays a walk-on part in all your anecdotes, but you must break the ex-namecheck habit if you’re to impress a potential lover. Even a passing mention of your previous man suggests that you haven’t moved on.

8. Sofa-hugging

The guy you're hoping to meet doesn't live under your sideboard, so if you want a relationship you're going to have to get out and start meeting people. Maybe you're constantly tired or ridiculously busy at work, but if you want a relationship, you need to make time for a social life.

9. Desperation

Men can smell your desperation from half a mile away. If you feel the need to ring him up on your way home from your first date, it had better be to answer his missed call.

10. Relationship resistance

Are you happy, fulfilled and busy with your work, home and friends? Do you find that the occasional fling satisfies your need for lust and male attention? Congratulations, you have a great life – now stop reading articles about why you're still single! Not everyone is cut out to be one half of a couple, and a relationship is not a compulsory element of a happy life. If you keep dipping a toe into dating but never quite feel comfortable with it, perhaps you're better off single after all.

Eid Mubarak

Hi. This is a crappy cutout picture of me saying, "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf zahir & batin for all the sarcasms, offensive posts and swearing. May you and I lose some weight dengan berpuasa enam. Ha ha ha."

Have fun on this month of Raya-ness.

Bloody shipping company

Gateway Logistic Solutions Sdn Bhd.

Awfully long name for a shipping company that does its job rather bloody poorly.

It's been 2 months or so and I am yet to receive my boxes, which were shipped from the UK before I got back.

For the first month I asked Sharir about the boxes and his answers were always vague and uncertain.

He couldn't even provide me with the reference number and some contact numbers.

But, knowing Sharir, all those things are normal. I don't know whether he truly didn't know all those things or he didn't even bother to find out.

Or he did ask Matno (his lousy boss that likes to use him every so often) but that old lying git didn't bother to find out!

You're a lousy piece of garbage and I don't care if you're about the same age as my father you're nothing like a married man with kids suppose to be you're disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my damn boxes and give me some reference number or else I will report your stupid company to the authority whoever that might be!!!!

I've put up with that old man's crap for so long.

If you guys need a shipping service, use FedEx or any company that has a good reputation. Not crappy cheap companies like this.

GOD I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Literal'd Deathly Hallows

Jobs.

In another cheerful note, I have failed yet another interview. :D I loathe interviews so much that if the Cruciatus curse is not an Unforgivable curse and wands can actually be used, I would've set it on the ones who invented this interview torture thing. *humph*

* * * *

Have you guys ever bought a product that you later discover is actually broken or damaged, but you weren't told about it - let's say, a sofa set?

Have you ever moved into a new house that is built so perfect until several weeks later, the walls are filled with watermarks?

Have you ever sent your car to the workshop to get something fixed, and you ended up getting a cheap spare parts on your car which got broken again a week later?

These matters are regarding Malaysian attitudes towards something called a 'job'.

If your job is to sell a piece of shitty sofa set, you just have to sell it, even though it's broken. If your customers don't find out about the damage, then you're safe, you've done your job. If they find out about it, well, I'll think about that later.

If your job includes building houses for residential ares (PKNS), then you just have to build them and get them done as fast as you can. Sure, you left out some parts here and there but nobody's gonna find out, the parts you left out are within the walls anyway so who's to see? There, a house built. A shitty house.

And if your job is to fix a car, use cheap spare parts, wham it onto the car and done. As long as it's attached to the car, it's a job well done.

Malaysians - asal siap sudahlah. If I did a good job, my pay will still be the same anyway.

We'll never be out of the 'third world mindset' group if these people continue to exist.

I'm not bragging about other countries, but when I was in London in Yana's cousin's house, there was this man, probably in his 40's, and his work is to get rid of pidgeon poop on people's balconies, or so I was told. Anyway, he cleans balconies okay, and he did it full-heartedly, like he embraced his shitty job. He seemed happy, anyway.

Imagine if a Malaysian get that job. Sheesh.

This is a sincere reminder to myself and to you guys. Love what you do and do what you love, which i find quite difficult since what I love doing is to sleep all day and I can't find a place in my heart to love a thing called Accounting & Finance.

Hey ladies

Orange Proton Taxi No. HWC 244

Please be warned that there is an orange Proton cab with the number plate HWC 244 (name of cab company - Innovasi Timur Sdn Bhd) who is out to get single women drivers, for unknown reasons but we believe potentially to rape and kill. The cab is driven by a fat and bald Malay man (occasionally with two other men in the car who look like Indonesians) who have been going around doing the following (possibly among others) to get women to come out of their cars by attempting to create and accident.

1. Cutting into your lane quickly so that you have to swerve to avoid an accident.
2. Braking suddenly on a road where there is just you and them.
3. Driving extremely slowly in front of you and when you try to overtake, he will try to knock into you by swerving into your lane.

It is very likely that more than once woman have experienced the attempts of the driver of this cab but it is unknown if he has been successful in raping/murdering any women yet.

Please don't let it happen to you! Please be very observant and careful and look out for this cab, especially when you are travelling on a quiet road by yourself.

There have been so many rape cases lately (e.g. the one in Centrepoint) so please warn your loved ones - wives, daughters, friends, mothers, sisters, mak mentua, or bakal mak mentua etc. to be extra careful.

Watch out for HWC 244 and other similar perpetrators.

As if there are not enough creeps already in this world.. Sheesh. Bulan puasa pon nak buat kerja tak senonoh macam ni.
