What I do during Holiday?
Sigh... the holidays have finally begun, and what does your Captain intend to drive thru?
Your Captain is now working to earn money enough to go on a diving trip to Perhentian. Some people wonder why work when you can just enjoy and sleep the day away. Well... let's just say I have a very nagging mother.
But working ain't all that bad. I argued it out with Agong the other day on MSN which I was using from my workplace as I am doing my work.
My pay is bout RM600 to RM750 per month, seeing how is business going for the year. Working at a supermarket barely nets you RM400. (Tho I know some ppl who get to earn RM1000 just by scooping ice cream or just by doing filing). And as CNY approaches, I even get angpows from most of the customers and of cos my boss. Like last year, this guy (cute, young, boss of a huge printing company but married) gave me an angpow of RM50 tho I only knew him for 3 weeks. He said becos I cute. Hehe...
And another plus is limitless broadband connection.
I: I have broadband connection for free.
A: I also got. I'm in auntie's house and using her broadband, for free.
I: But I'm paid just to MSN u all day long.
A: But I don have a boss breathing down my neck.
I: The boss is my mom's fren. So it's not tat bad.
A: Nepotism. Cronyism.
I: What? I'm a yougn illiterate girl. Do not use bombastic words. What they mean?
A: You don't know?
I: No. Teach me. You are the mommmy. You are responsible to teach me.
A: Are you sure u wan me to teach u?
I: ... on second tots... just tell me the meaning of the two words.
A: (she explained, but cannot remember. Its about giving priviledges to close friends.)
I: Oh... but I bet you do it too. Everyone does it.
A: I dont. I'm an honorable girl.
Sure... Agong, watever you say. Hehe.
That part of the conversation ended with
A: You are so cute, Elena. I like you.
I: Haha, I know. I am cute and very likable.
But its HOLIDAY, no? I have to at least do something other thing other than just working. Agong complains of having a boring holiday. So I challenge her to write a novel / short story as I knew her English is VERY VERY VERY good. (You can see it from the bombastic jargons she uses in her daily conversation)
A: About what?
I: Hmmm... write a story about ... ... ... ME? Cos I very cute and likable
A: Boring. Would you write a book on archealogy?
I: Boring.
A: Precisely.
I: WHAT??!!!! You comparing me to a fossil? A 100000000 year old bone?
So what am I going to do during this holidays other than working...
Holiday's resolution. Things must be done/wished to be done before school reopens:
1. Finish Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This is going to be tough as I am working and only can play during weekends. But will try to sneak in a couple of hours everyday.
2. Finish read-proofing my book. Almost just a couple of chapters to go and then its ready for printing.
3. Finish and touch up book. This is terrible. All the battle scenes not completed, damn.
4. At least partially complete another novel. This is lagi bad. Have the idea, but lazy to type it out, hehe.
5. Finish up 3 sins. Bet you want tis eh, Raymond? Will send it to you when I'm done.
6. Earn enough money to go scuba diving : RM600. This is one month pay. So guys out there, any day now, a diving trip to somewhere. Wat bout Phuket? Hehe.
7. Earn enough money to buy PSP: (RM1800) Damn. 1800 fucking RM. How the hell to collect so much??? And can't have pirated games. That is like RM200 per game. Killer right? But I want Metal Gear Acid.
8. Finish Jigsaw Puzzle. I'm like 3/4 thru with it. I like the puzzle. Its from Kingdom Hearts.
9. Tons of books to read, but no money to buy them. Sigh... looks like I must go on a borrowing spree. Anyone?
10. Replenish life energy WASTED during the whole semester.
And of course not to forget the trip to Chennai. Still pending parental approval tho. Must work harder on it. *goes on knees* God, you made me pass this exam, is it Your will that I go to Chennai with my friends? *sigh*
