got this from Wolverinemalaya.com
quite funny... so here it goes:
Dear All,
Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed accordingly to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore do not need a raise.
Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
Personal Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday and Sunday.
Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of the three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy!
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a slim fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, legations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
Happy Working!

It's been crazy hot out there...Seems like we didn't have Spring... The weather just turned from Winter to Summer... yesterday... went to Kroger's to do groceries again... well... I think I goes to Kroger's about 3 times a week... well, i have to go and get some milk... and got some frozen entree(i bought 3 entrees, all from 3 different brands... i think i will be able to try all the available brand on the market by the end of August...) I'm keeping count how many frozen entree i've taken... so far, my counter reads 4... 1 chicken fingers, 1 salisbury steak, 1 chicken pot pie and 1 more salisbury steak....:P played some soccer with my Carrie(housemate), well just kicking the ball around for about 30 minutes...(i guess) under the hot sun... and went for a run about 6pm... it's still eff-ing hot... oh yar... i cooked today(Friday)... scalloped potatoes and baked BBQ sauce marinated chicken... here's the potatoes...  and here's the chicken...
 the heat caught me and i kinda had a heat stroke... well... i felt light-headed and all, i assumed that it's because of the heat... I just couldn't stand the heat... luckily my apartment has AC... today... did nothing much... did some leisure reading(finished up the book 4 blind mice by James Patterson, and started on the new book... Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, by ZZ Packer... watched a movie... Mathilda... my housemate, Lei said that the book was really good... and watched another movie...Be Cool...starring John Travolta, and Uma Thurman... went to run about 5.15pm... came back about 50 minutes later... it's been hot out... and raining too... but it's relatively colder than yesterday... watched some baseball... and then channel surf.. and saw that Sci-Fi was showing Resident Evil... and watched the show again...(it's like my 4th time watching the movie..) bored... that's all about it... peace out...

The Keys to Your Heart
|
|
You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. |
|
In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell. |
|
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. |
|
You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. |
|
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. |
|
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
|
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
|
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. |
I don't think so... maybe that's true... But i don't think so at the moment...

It's Hot Out there...Very Hot... It's 90+ degrees out there... Fahrenheit that's it... approximately 30+ degree Celcius... whew... Luckily, my apartment is air conditioned... ehem... AIR CONDITIONED... :P sorry Eric... just feel like rubbing it in... enough of that... so, I went for a job interview... not really an interview, more like job sign up... so, i'll be working in the dining hall for Saturday Brunch and Sunday Dinner starting from June 25th onwards... cool... i guess... will be working about 7-8 hours a week... this will help me to settle some bills... and maybe fund me a short trip...(still not sure whether I'm going for one...) and another thing... i've been playing this MMORPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) Anarchy Online for several days now... and like most other MMORPGs, it is really addictive... and i've been spending countless hours completing missions, to gain experience, to earn credits, to level-up my character, to buy better weapons... those stuffs... so much so that i forgot that Tuesday is my quiz day... (and i think i screwed up the quiz today...) well, also blame it on yesterday's Detroit vs Heat Playoff Game 7.... fortunately, Pistons won... and also the Softball games that have been going on and on... Michigan lost to UCLA yesterday in their Championship series game 1... hopefully their will comeback and win the next 2 matches and win the series... been busy doing dunno wat and dun really have time to cook or anything... don't know what to cook as well... any suggestion? something easy but nice... these are what i cooked last week... 1) Tuna Noodle Casserole  Guess what am I cooking??  Yummy... really delicious... 2)Home made Fries and Teriyaki Chicken...  Nice??  this is my 2nd time cooking... 100% homemade fries, teriyaki drumsticks and carrots...(obviously) oh yar... another thing... i'm still waiting for my allowance from my sponsors... hopefully it will come as soon as possible... i gave Cik Intan a call 2 days ago... and she said that it's processed and the money should be coming in anytime... I hope so... and I think I will be taking classes for Summer as well... CALL ME A NERD... CALL ME A DULL BOY... but i really how am I going to spend my time if I don't take a class or two to kill some time... most probably, i'll take a econs class and another philosophy class... that's all about it... p/s: silly me missed a step yesterday, and twisted my already swollen ankle AGAIN... and luckily, it's not TOO bad... just as bad as the other day... it's healing now... i think i'll be up and about tomorrow...

well... i did baked some really good home made fries... really not bad... i'll upload some pics next time...
then, really bored to death... played yahoo games for awhile...
then, went jogging, but stepped into a small hole and twisted my right ankle at the first turning...OUCH.... it hurts... still does... I wanted to have a good long jog... but ended up with a busted ankle...
that's why it is bad...

This is the result of a quiz I took... I'm a materialist... hmm... interesting... well, in some way...
What do you think about me???
 | You scored as Materialist. Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.
Materialist | | 100% | Idealist | | 94% | Cultural Creative | | 88% | Existentialist | | 81% | Modernist | | 75% | Postmodernist | | 63% | Fundamentalist | | 50% | Romanticist | | 31% |

I need something to keep me occupied...
The title says it all... I need something to keep me occupied... Reading is one... clicking and surfing doing nothing is another... watching TV is another... and that's about it...
currently, i'm planning my trip to either Seattle, Washington or Tampa, Florida... i think for about a week or two... well i think 8 to 10 days is more like it...
so... i'm really bored... and when did i last update my blog?? alright... i think is the Midwest Games thingy...
so, the midwest Games is GREAT!!! The organization is awesome... Kudos to UIUC and the committee... it's really good... for not only Malaysian standard... and it's way above my expectation...
so i shld start from the first day of the long weekend to UIUC(university of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) hope i spelled it correctly... so, it all started at about 3.45pm... where my senior, Yazid picked me up near my place, in front of South Quad... and we went back to the Malaysia kampung in U of Michigan, at Northwood Housing... where i think most of the Malaysians are residing. So, there, we waited for others to come, and i the huge convoy of 6 cars (if not more) set off to UIUC at about 4.40pm... (2 SUVs, and 4 cars...I think 3 Chevy Malibu and another dunno wat car...) the one i'm in is a Chevy malibu... anyway, i'm on the same ride as Yazid (the driver), Sheikh(the co-driver), Awang and Sharence.
So, i expected a long journey and also a short congestion because of the construction work on the freeway to Chicago... but my expectation was kinda low, cos we were stucked in the middle of the pile-up for more than an hour, and that's bad...
on the way, i dozed off every now and then, and we stopped in the middle of no where..(sorry for my lousy sense of direction...), and most of us took a leak or a break, and we continued on our road trip... and stopped at Long John Silvers to grad a bite.... and I dun really like the food there becoz a) it is too oily... and b) it is too salty... the crabcake is not bad though...
and then, after dinner, we continued our 2nd half of the road, and it's about 9.30pm now...(slight digression oh yar, it's amazing that t-mobile updated the clock on my cellphone at about 7.02pm when we crossed the timezone from Eastern time to Central Time.... )
we reached our lodging place...Travelodge at about 11.00pm.... ouch my back... i jumped out of the car instantly to stretch my back... then, we went to the Union (seems like every university has it's own union building...) to register for the games... but it was closed...(it's supposed to be open til 12midnight...) but, nvm... so, there I met some of my friends from other Uni... namely, Sian Mei and Nizar from Northwestern Uni... and Nurul from the Host Uni... and...
Then, I went back to the hotel/motel... watever to call it a night... I wished... but i needed to stay up becoz some of them who were sharing the room weren't here yet... Kai and Seng Fatt reached the place at about 1am... while Faisal(or izzit Faizal) reached about 1.30am... so, ended up sleeping at about 2am...(actually 3am eastern time...)...
Couldn't really sleep for the night becoz 3 of us sharing the bed... well, and it's kinda hot in the night and it was quite cold the next morning, and too bad... Kai and Seng Fatt kinda grabbed hold of the blanket... so, the chill kinda woked me up at 5am, 6am and 7am... went to grabbed a donut at the front desk...(dunkin donuts... :P) and I'm off for the big event... well, the opening ceremony wasn't bad... but well, the speakers and the emcee are not good either... so, ppl started to have their own chats while the speakers were giving their obviously-written-by-someone else speeches... forgot to mention that the honorable guests are the Minister of Higher Education from Malaysia... Datuk Dr. Shafie Salleh and also the Ambassador of Malaysia to US Datuk Ghazali Sheikh....
so, after the opening ceremony, the launching of the games, and all, the game started at 10.40am... well our first basketball match, up against the 4-time defending champion team...Nebraska B... and fair enough, our amatuerish and never(really never) get together hybrid team who was worried that we would be disqualified becoz couldn't meet the minimum 7 team members was quashed, stomped, humiliated, screwed, and watever with a devastating score of 67 - 6... oh yar... i played for the first half only because of my table tennis match at 11.30am... and when i got there, i waited for 10 minutes, and yet, my opponent didn't turn up, so i just won my first match without lifting my racket... next match at 12.30pm...
so, i ran back to the basketball court to watch the horror butchering from University of Nebraska over our hybrid Michigan team...(with a friend from Carnegie Mellon University...and some frens from RPI....) after that, I went back to the table tennis court and won a tight match 3 - 2... wow... with the 3rd game in the ended up with a score of 14-12...(duece...) well, i'm a better player... but i'm nervous and wasted the opportunity of winning the game early on... but... whew... a win is a win... :P (i won the last point with my opponent making a mistake of serving the ball long... :P)
so, went back to the basketball court at about 1pm... this time, we played against Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)... well, we did took a lead... and we were quite close in terms of the points for most of the first half... suddenly, we just got lost, and we just threw the game... and ended losing like 11 - 20+....
and at about 1.30pm, i went to play my Quarterfinal Match... won the match 3 - 1... yeah... I'm thru the semifinal... next game at 3.30pm... right now.... i'm really starving... imagined the only thing that I ate for the past 18 hours was just a donut.... so, at 2pm, we played our last match of basketball... against the host team... UIUC... and again, we were really close at first... and made a few mistakes here and there and let them to have a comfortable lead, and that's it... We lost all our matches in the group and sank to the bottom of the table...
after that, we went to grab our lunch... well, had nasi lemak for lunch.... not bad... but it would be better if it was spicier... that's about 3pm... didn't drink the Mountain Dew becoz i've a game at 3.30pm... so, i went there with a full stomach... and whew... luckily it didn't give me a huge trouble... and i went on to win the match 3 - 0....(i think).... so, that's it, i'm in to the FINAL... tomorrow 12pm....live at UIUC...
so, the next match at 4.30pm... doubles... we waited for more than 10 minutes again... we got the free win again.... then, our opponent showed up... and they wanted to play... so, Kai and I decided to be nice and played them, and we won the match too... and the next match at 5.30pm... and we lost it... :(
so, after that, we found our friend...my housemate back in INTEC, Yik Han to be our tour guide... he led us around the campus, UIUC is not bad... nice place, nice acrhitecture... nice town... but it is more 'kampung' village-like... later, he brought us to a Chinese restaurant - Mandarin Wok... and he rushed back to work... the food was delicious... and the price is cheaper than that of Ann Arbor... well well.... i think JPA should re-evaluate our allowance... at least use the COLA....(Cost of Living Allowance) system... it's unfair for us to be paid the cheaper rate and having us to spend the high cost of living here in Ann Arbor....
after dinner, it's about 8.30pm... Kai and I walked back to our hotel...(dun wanna trouble our senior...), it's not a long walk... just about 20 minutes... reached the hotel/motel and bathed and all.... watched the basketball match... Spurs vs Suns... well, Suns won the match and was 3 - 0 up...
later, we watched the AC Milan vs Liverpool Champions League Final on my laptop... and not a bad match... those saves... and those celebration... and went to bed at about 1am....
woke up at about 7am the next morning... called home... and then, watched the F1 lived from Germany... and then, went to judge table tennis match at 9am... and then, for about 2 hours... and then, practiced awhile...and practiced with my opponent from 11.30am til 12noon... and the Final match went bad... well... he was the better player... no doubt about that... but i thought i can pressure him by winning the first match... i was leading 10 - 6 and i lost 6 points in a row...
and the next two matches went even worse... and luck weren't on my side today... with like more than 5 smashes which caught the net and bounced out of play... well.. just bad...
still, i'm happy to be the runner up... after that, we went to the Illini Union Bookstore to get some souvenirs... I got a cap and a t-shirt... then, we went back to the sports building to catch the other finals... with badminton... singles and doubles both won by my senior Kai Soon (with Izzudin for doubles)....
then, went to watch the Basketball final... and again, the team that slaughtered us yesterday...University of Nebraska B team won the match...
and then, we walked around to kill some time... and lined up for the Hi-Tea at 3pm... well, the food wasn't bad... and then, we went to Old Navy to get a pair of pants and a shirt... well... there's a performance night tonight and I got nothing but t-shirts and jeans and shorts... so, spent $25 on it... and rushed back for the night....
AND something came along and it burst my bubble... I noticed that the racket which Kai borrowed from KaiSoon which was supposed to be in my bag wasn't there... I made a few calls... and tried to go back to the sports building to look for it but couldn't find... nobody handed it into the lost and found... damn...
went to the performance night.... and there were way too many dances... and got my medal from the most 'Loved' guy, the director of MSD-Chicago... Rahim is his name...(i think)...
then, i met the nice committee person who was in charged of the table tennis thingy... and he gave me the number of the person who was there... Cat... and she told me that she saw the racket there and at that moment... Uni of Minnesota team was still there... so, I tried to ask Boon Yi of U of Minnesota... and then Der Ueng (also from Minnesota) said he saw that nobody took it, so he kept it... Thank goodness... Whew... so, we went back to thier place (Lincoln Lodge... right beside our hotel) and got it back from him...and problem solved....!!!!!
that's about 11.15pm... went back to my room to start packing, coz i'll be leaving and going back to Ann Arbor tonight... at about 12midnight... i went to Yazid's place... and then, waited for them to get ready and all, watched the Iron Chef America while waiting... and at about 12.40am, we left UIUC...
so... at about 3am... we stopped at somewhere near Michigan city for breakfast... the breakfast at Denny's was good... had a county breakfast... (3 pancakes...and 2 eggs with hashbrown and 2 sausages and bacon...) and I managed to down it...(almost... left some hashbrown) we left that place at about 4am... and continued our journey... and we reached Ann Arbor at about 8.40am... I'm dead tired... I couldn't really sleep on wheels... and I'm stucked in the middle back seat...
i'm checked my mail...and took a shower and drop dead on my bed... and woke up at 4.00pm in the afternoon.... felt a bit groggy and all... and went dinner with Eric... and had 2 scoops of Stucchi's too....(almond ice cream....nice)...
went to sleep early again at about 11pm and woke up the next morning at 9am....
had cereals for lunch becoz i didn't do groceries last week... so basically, my fridge is empty...(actually quite full, but not with my stuffs...)
so, it's Tuesday... so, had Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner... Eric and I chowed 40 wings... and was too full for any dessert..
was quite tired too... but still i had to settle my homework for tomorrow... and stayed up late... and woke up even later the next morning....
that's another story... wow.... can't imagine that i just crapped for so much....
take care...

It's been awhile since last I dropped a message. It's really ironic that I updated my blog more often when I don't have my laptop with me. Really!
Since getting my new baby... a Dell® Inspiron 6000..., I haven't been updating my blog... look at those posts beginning of May til the 18th ... I managed to chuck in several post without my laptop... shame on me...
BUT, I have my reasons... my excuses, whatever u wanna call it. I've been preparing for my EXAMS... My first ever PROFESSIONAL examination in my life!!! WOW, my first time... and another midterm... first was my Course P (probability) Actuarial Exam... Hope that I can pass it... just wanna be the top 30+%... and for my Econs midterm, hopefully I didn't overead and overthink the questions...
For the Actuarial Paper... I won't be too disappointed even if i didn't make the cut... although that means the cutting off point would be quite high... but come to think about it... the effort I put in preparing for the exam is really limited... maybe the Introduction to Probability course I took under Prof. DiFranco helps a lot, but still, I think I spent less than 50 hours studying for the exam... which I don't think is enough...
Well, we'll see.... the results would be out sometime in July or Aug...
Let's not talk about exam... so, Liverpool is COOL... but still I just hate them lesser now... MU is still here to RULE... even though Arsenal got lucky and snatched the FA cup from them, anybody who watched the match know who's the dominant and who was dominated... and how Arsenal was outclassed by MU...
now, switching to NBA.... go PISTONS...
and then to American Idol 4... well, in the final¨¦, Carrie Underwood truly showed her powerful voice and dazzling smile to win my heart... she's pretty... and she can sing...just like an iPod... that's why she's the WINNER....
let's talk about the upcoming long-weekend now.... well... Memorial Day on Monday... doesn't really changes my schedule as i'm off on Monday... but, I'm going to UIUC for the Midwest Games 2005... it is an inter-collegiate sports meet among Malaysians... competitive sports included in the games are Soccer, Basketball, Table Tennis, Tennis, and Badminton... I think that's about it...
that's all for now... I'm bringing my baby there too... Hopefully, I can get connected at the hotel and kept u guys posted....
OH YAR... i got money-minded somehow... and suscribed to Google© Adsense... so, scroll down and click on those links if u have nothing else better to do...
(i wonder how much $$$ i will earn with 1000 clicks...) click and i'll tell u next time....
HAPPY CLICKING... and ciao...

my new room at the Barrister... good news... my laptop is coming in 3 days time.... yeah... Dell® Inspiron 6000...
and i moved to my new room (last room was a temporary room becoz my housemate, Eric needed his room til yesterday...
my new room is somewhat smaller than my previous temporary room, but it has 4 windows... and it is really bright... great.... i just love it...
well well, more about my housemates now... so, more ppl will be coming in... did i keep u guys updated with my new housemates who have moved in? they are Mimi, and Carrie, and Arthur... Mimi and Carrie are really friendly and nice Michiganians ... while Arthur, a Hongkonger, is very quiet, (maybe he is too busy) as he is never around... he runs at funny hours, i guess... cause i'm quite a late person, and he seems to be even later... or maybe he has a place elsewhere... who knows...
so, another girl, Emily is moving in tomorrow... and then, another girl, Leng Dei, will be moving in some time later.... so, 4 gals and 2 guys in the house... and i'm pretty sure i'm the youngest of all... dang...
another week has gone... 2 weeks out of the 8-week-long(more like short) Spring Semester... and wat am I going to do after this??? I really have no idea... I think I will be start working next month, and also the month of July, and go travelling in August... Destination? Tampa, Florida or Seattle, Washington....i guess...
and about working, where will i be working?? most probably, the dining hall... it will be tiring, but the pay is among the highest i can find... maybe i'll try Michigan telefund.. but i dun think i'm suit for that kinda work... i dun like talking over the phone...
that's all for now... i guess....
check back soon... take care... and have a great summer...
Posted at 02:01 pm by voonseng

home alone... and which is the best choice?? well well... i want to be 21 faster... I want to join my housemates going to bars... dang... but i'm still 10 months short of 21...
well well... that's the reason i've been home alone for several nights... well Adam and Ariana left yesterday...(for summer work and home), and Heather and Dan left today (going home and then to work too), and left with Eric... and me...(looking forward to meet my new housemates though...)
and what makes matter worse is my dead laptop...
that's the reason i've been reading, a lot ... read 2 books in 2 days... yeah... The Honeymoon by James Patterson© and The Last Juror by John Grisham©...
Good read though...
so, now another question is bothering me... what shld be replacing my dead laptop?? another laptop?? a mac mini?? or a desktop??
well... here comes the pros and cons...
Another Laptop: it will be a huge one...becoz of the outrageous deals from Dell®, i will have to go with the gigantic 17 inches laptop... which cost about 1.1k
A Mac Mini...: This will be my first Mac... it's a space saver... and it's cool... and powerful(i'm not playing games anymore...games as in those high-end games which require great graphics...FPS kinda game...) everything (with a lcd 17 flat panel) and mouse and keyboard will set me about 1k
A Desktop...: Again, another outrageous deal from Dell... it will be powerful(after configuring...), 1Gb Ram, 160 Gb HD, 128mb Vid..., those kinda thing... with a 17 lcd panel too... will get me back into my old gamer self... but i dun really wanna venture back into computer games... it's bad...
it will too set me about 1k...
so how now???
btw... this is my new mailing address... effective til end of Aug...
616 Monroe St.
Apartment A.
