Hate my life

This post has been removed due to potential hazard to writer :pI so hate my life and myself right now. So so regret not taking the
job in Jordan and plunge myself here to be married. Hate
hate hate!!!!

A divorce looks inevitable, just waiting for when it'll be the last
straw. Mind you, I've even gone to the extend of booking my one way
ticket back for 2nd Nov. I have not mentioned but I'm still deciding.

A new week, a new hope

Just saw my sister's tweet - another death. It's the 3rd death of the
week. That is a lot of deaths around the people around us.

A friend passed away yesterday (Friday) - I don't know him personally
or maybe I do but I don't remember but he's the youngest son of a very
close family friend. He's only 30!! What a waste - he's so young!!!

I don't exactly know how he died except for the fact that he was
stabbed from the back by the accomplice of dome snatch thieves who got
hold of his laptop. I've heard 2 versions thus far but since the 1st
ain't very detail, I think I'm taking the 2nd version as the right one
for now.

This friend, a male, was stabbed (sources said he wad slashed by a
parang at his neck so bad that his neck was almost severed!) when he
tried to chase after the snatch thieves who got his laptop. A second
motorbike came from behind him and slashed his neck. A life snuffed
out just like that!!!! No news about the thieves and no reports in The
Star either!!!! This happened outside McDonald's, Centrepoint in
Bandar Utama. We have no idea who these people are, what race or how
old. I only know that it is extremely sad and I feel for hid family,
especially his parents and his girlfriend. I cannot even imagine how
the thieves feel, what's in their - so sick and perverted bastards!!!
A life!!! A young life!!!

I hope the government will do something about security of the country.
Mind you the incident happened early in the morning, at a time when
people are on their way to work, outside a busy place and yet these
bastards are so daring as to steal and then kill!!! Safety in Malaysia
is getting from bad to worse everyday! How can a country progress if
thugs roam around like that? No wonder we're still a 3rd world country
after so many years.

Waiting for Steo's funeral

Such a long and slow wait. Skynews mentioned they'll be showing
funeral live from GMT 1000 couple of days ago but they have just
changed it to GMT 1200. I guess it's because cameras are not allowed
inside the church.

I have been sitting in front if the tv since GMT 0730 and been
watching updates of the funeral. An hour and a half to go before the
service will start. Boring....nothing good on tv and just occured to
me why didn't I think of making the trip to send him off on his last
journey. Then again, waste of money ain't it?? Hubby will faint if I
decide to do that. But I've been a fan since 1993!!! Sigh...just have
to settle with a "box" seat in front of the tv, in my living room.

Weather today is extremely gloomy. I guess even the heavens are sad
and getting ready to "welcome" Steo into the kingdom of God. Such
weather definitely ain't normal at this time of year in Nairobi. It's
summer for God's sakes. Anyway.....continuing my wait.....

This Is It.....



Check out Michael Jackson's new song - This Is It

The song's OK, not fantastic but catchy. I love the video though.

Not a news to wake up to....

Couldn't sleep again till almost 5am last night (this morning, rather). Woke up as usual at 8am to make breakfast for hubby but just no way of getting back to bed. So what do I do?? What else - my usual morning routine - make breakfast and sit in front of the laptop.

Chatted with Joyce, thanking her for the payment for her top. Then she told me the news which had me stun for a while - a friend from Batu Pahat, a year my senior from High School was stabbed to death early this morning. Incident happened at McD Centrepoint. He was apparently trying to grab his laptop back from the snatch thieves when one of the accomplice stabbed him from the back and that was it.

A life of mere 31 years of age snuffed out just like that. He even posted a something on Facebook last night! Just merely 7 hours before the mishap!!! Who would have expected that that will be his last post? I'm sure he never expected he'll never again post another note on Facebook. His parents are distraught and on their way on to KL to collect the body. From his status on his Facebook, he's apparently married.

Cherish the people around you starting RIGHT NOW!

My condolences to his family. Rest in Peace Martin........

Before anything else.....

I passed my exams! My 3rd Module....Tax Planning. Phew.....it's just a pass this time, nothing fancy like the two previous exams but I'm glad and satisfied. Why?? Because I was actually afraid that I might really fail this time around! Taxation is just soooo confusing and tough, especially for someone like me who has no background in economics or finance.

2 Weeks of well deserved break then all the studying, revising and exam will start all over again. This time, Retirement Planning. Sounds easier - I bet anything that is coming up next will be easier than Tax Planning. Ahhh....

Have so much to post but Internet ain't cooperating - both the landline and the USB Modem. It didn't cooperate very well when I was taking my exams either! It took me 3 hours to finish! It got so bad until I had to finish 2nd half of my exams on my iPhone. Imagine that....I was so worried that I might not be able to finish on time. Not sure if it's the Internet or the Test site. I tried surfing while I was taking my exams and they loaded just fine. Anyway...it's all over now.
