So, I'm moving back to Malaysia next NEXT month (August 1st), looking forward to the food more than anything else and seeing what has changed over the years. I can't wait to go back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian metro city, full of debrauchy and trendiness in the region haha. Since I'm a city boy, I gotta live in the city. I'm also looking forward to going to Borneo, my birthplace and where my family is right now. Gotta see what has changed in that small ole town. It's basically equavilent to hicksville USA here. I already told my mother I will not live or die there.

Now, living with mother is not something I am looking forward to. I love her to pieces but there is just so much you can take of her. Trust me, I lived with her for the most part of my life. I already told her that when I come back, we need to set up some ground rules. She complains that I'm rude but in my defense this is the only way I can get to do things my way. Hell, I'm 25 and I don't give a shit who you are. I will do whatever I please. I am sooooooo looking forward to live with my mother. *Sarcasm*
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

So it looks like it's gap orientation for me this Saturday. Woohoo. Guess how much I'm getting paid. $6 bucks an hour. Freaking $6 bucks. Jesus. My previous job-on campus-paid more than that. Oh well. At least I will be getting some money. And I will be doing something different for a change. Despite that, I'm still going home lalalalalala. :)

Surfing through UM Athletics website and viola! A new interview with my boy Matt Walters. Interesting interview, it looks like he is very serious this season to get in real good shape and to be the best defensive line. *Sigh*, I love a man with ambition. I just love Matt Walters period. And it looks like he has football in his blood when he was young. And his favorite football film is "The Program" which I watched on HBO two months ago and which I thought was rather entertaining. Not bad. I still like "Any Given Sunday" though as that was more football and less melodrama haha. Sigh, I will really miss Matt when I leave here. Love you baby. :)

Well. It looks like I got the Gap job. My ex boss on campus told me that she got a call from the Gap people and they were basically asking her about me. And my friend said that she got a message from Gap to have me call them tomorrow. I don't have an answering machine you see and plus my cellphone got disconnected cause I couldn't pay the bills hehe. So I might just go work for the Gap. Woohoo! How exciting. Four years of college majoring in engineering and this is what it leads up to. But anyway, I will do it regardless, I need some money and I need to do something haha. Too bad I made up my mind to leave Miami end of next month. But the Gap do not need to know that right? :)

Anyway, I had a thought today and I was thinking maybe I should stay here just a lil bit longer since now I have some sort of income coming in. I asked my friends for advice and they gave me a reality check. This job is seasonal, meaning I could work from either 15 to 40 hours a week. I could be paid $7 an hour. I still will not be making enough to pay for my bills and rent. And most likely I need a second job to get some extra money. Unless I have a real engineering job OR I have a substantial amount of money to survive on for a few months, going home to your "motherland" and relax and chill with your family and friend (after a period of FIVE years) is the best thing to do.

Last night I watched a really cheesy movie on HBO, "Turburlence 3: heavy Metal", my lord it was the most funniest shit ever. Cheesy lines and cheesy acting. It basically tells a story of a heavy metal group (complete with a Marilyn Manson rip-off) performing their final concert on a 747 plane. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Like that is feasible. Anyway the plane gets hijacked by some loonies and the lead singer AKA Marilyn Manson has to save the plane from crashing into a church in Kansas (eerily scary). I shouldn't be laughing at terrorists and planes as I will be flying next month but you gotta admit this is far-fetched and silly.

Also saw "To Die For" with Nicole Kidman. I saw the film before but have to see it again since it was on HBO. I just simply love Nicole Kidman. She is beautiful and I will marry her if I can haha.

80's flashback. Downloading lots of 80's song. Sheena Easton in particularly. She done lots of great 80's song but never achieved high diva status. She's like the poor man version of Kylie. Still she has some good songs. "101" is pure brilliance.

Do you do you do you do you? Do you do it for love. If only today's pop tarts will sing brilliant lines like these.

Was browsing UM Hurricane football page. We had a great season last year but all of our good players had gone to the NFL. Now, we are stuck with lots of freshmen. I hope we do good this season so we won't be branded flash in the pan, even though we won the National Championship like 5 times haha. Plus it's one of my admired players last season with the Hurricanes. I'm talking about Defensive Matt Walters. Not only he is a consistent and important player, he is one hell of a hunk! The first time I saw him in person, I was like "OMG. I want him NOW!!", the fact that not only is he a good athlete, he is also an engineering major and is very smart. What more could you want? I never knew him personally but from what I read and seen in interviews, he seem like a very nice and sweet person. Anyway, I think he seen me around but too bad I never had the guts to say anything, he is after all a big person hahaha. Nevertheless, I will be a fan of him till whenever. I love you Matt. Too bad I'm not attending grad school this fall cause otherwise I will be attending all the home games (like I did last season) and shouting for my boy Matt. To make it worse, I will be at the other end of the world. Oh well, there's the internet and ESPN. :) Did I tell you that I love you Matt Walters? :) How I wish I could hang out with him before I leave Miami. Or be great friends. Oh well.
