Back To School?

Posted on By sweet surrender 17 Comments on Back To School?

Streamyx was so bad yesterday… Totally no line at night. The line was only back after I made 5 calls! Well… Not to blame them, as my phone is not near my computer so I had to troubleshoot it first before calling them back again, you know… To give them the error number, they insisted on the error number. Only during the last final call to log a final report as all attempts failed, when they were processing the report, out of sudden the line came back.

For those of you whose been following my blog for the passed years, I’m sure you know that I want to get a Master degree from overseas very badly but due to various circumstances, I didn’t go for it. Now, I found a course in a local college that offers part time course that seemed interesting and quite flexible I should say. It’s not a Master degree but a diploma which is totally unrelated to what I’m doing now and my previous education background. It’s Diploma in Early Childhood Education! Hahaha… How’s that? Shock? Irene and children seem not quite right, frankly I’m quite afraid of children especially those that started to know how to talk! πŸ˜› Then why I want to go for it?

1. I did consider about taking this Master degree in the UK as my result of my degree can’t let me go for other courses that I want due to my bad result πŸ˜› Second Lower Class Honours, it sucks hahaha… This is the only Master degree that accept an honour degree like mine hahaha… The problem is that it’s in UK. No money… Also there’s a responsibility and commitment that I can’t let go like nobody business.

2. My dad told me about this course few days back and I decided to find out more about it yesterday. It’s from USQ, it will take 2 years to complete the diploma. Classes only on every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, 4 hours per day, 8 hours per week which isn’t that bad. Only 2 subjects per semester. Seems quite relax as my previous e-learning is much hectic than this which was 3-4 subjects per semester, everything had to be done on my own, there’s no physical class, only a scheduled chat session with the facilitators in UK and could only interact in forum with my e-classmates.

3. I might be able to use this as a stepping stone to gain an Aus PR as I can go for my degree in USQ if I want to and then after studying there I can try to apply for PR. At least there is something to start with. This is just a plan only… Will I be going? That will be another story in the future.

4. I don’t like night time classes, it’s not easy to find day time classes for part time studies.

5. The syllabus looks interesting.

If I am to go for this course, then…

1. My weekend afternoons for the next 2 years would be gone!! I can no longer hang out with my friends. This is the usual time I am able to hang out with them, night time usually they have their own activities.

2. I will miss various public events that are hold in the weekend for the next 2 years! I’m going to be so outdated!! :p

3. I have to fund my own studies. The course fee is about RM12K+, installment is available. There’s good and bad about it which is one of the thing I’ve been pondering about that make me can’t decided whether I should go for it or not. Will explain later.

4. My dream of getting a DSLR will have to be postponed. No more money for this. I need the money for my course fee.

5. My travel plan to UK and other places might not be able to be executed due to my studies, exams, assignments, works and there won’t be money to go also! I won’t be able to plan early holidays and go anytime I want just like now. My Penang trip on 16th-20th October(anyone want to meet?) will have a bit of problem, I’m worry that it might clash with the exams as the exam time is end of October -.-” Obviously I will miss 2 classes. However, I asked them already, they said if exam clashes I can rearrange my exam time but then how to enjoy like this!?!? *LOL*

Oh dear… There goes my social life… πŸ™ For 2 freaking years!! These are the factors that make me don’t know how to decide. How!?!?

Mothers’ Day @ After Three

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Mothers’ Day @ After Three

I got a lot of it from people that don’t really know me. I didn’t care a damn but when it’s coming from you, I’m really disappointed. All these while I thought you understand but you are no difference like the others. I’m wondering what on earth am I doing here hanging on to it? If I’m also doing what you are doing, you think it will still be here? The answer is NO! I’ve been helping you giving excuses and try to buy time for you ever since you started your new lifestyle. You are tired, I’m not?!?! You’re the one asking for it and now you blame it on me for not able to help you!?!? Summore giving me such kind of statement like anybody else!??! I’m really really PISSED!

Well, it’s not really for a Mothers’ Day celebration though, just that dad said that he wanted to try out the food at After Three, that’s why we went there. At least mom didn’t have to cook for one meal πŸ˜› Hahaha… I warned my parents that the service is extemely slow but food was OK. Who knows this time, it’s opposite. It was faster and food was *thumbs down* than previous visit.


We sat down and started to order. Wanted to order western food but it’s not available, only available after 3pm. So ordered some local food. I ordered iced green tea but they gave me hot green tea. So I told them to change it. They changed and *point to the photo*, is that green tea?!?!? I drank it and it didn’t taste like green tea, more like some syrup drink, wheatgrass but not that thick. *SHRUG* Since the price for these two drinks are the same, I don’t care, lazy to ask them to change again. Tell me, do you think this is green tea? So green…

Now, the food. No wonder many people complained about it and said that they will not go back there anymore. You see and you will know. I really don’t recommend this place, the quality really *shake head* not worth the price.

Left: Fried Chicken Chop Noodle(RM4), the presentation almost made me fall off the chair! What kind of food served like this in an eatery!?!? It’s worst than the normal kopitiam! This is my first time seeing food served this way! Portion was damn small and NOT NICE! A bit spciy but NO NICE! Thank you very much.
Right: Singapore Fried Bee Hoon(RM5), expensive! Thought what’s so special? The bee hoon came all the way from Singapore??!? My mom can cook better than this according to my dad.


Left: Chicken Curry Nasi Lemak(RM5), at least this presentation was better than the rest with the big drumstick there but waited for it for ages, we almost finished our food and only this came. Taste wise? Nothing much to rave about, just better than all the rest that we had ordered.
Right: Curry Noodle(RM4), at least the drumstick was big. The noodle portion was quite small.

So yea… I won’t go back there anymore unless I’m not the one paying for it *LOL*.

Accept Credit Card In Business

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Accept Credit Card In Business

Many business now must accept credit cards. Why? It’s simple, who will bring so much cash when they go out? You will? I know I don’t. With such so many snatching and robbery cases, who wants to be another victim of this?

I mostly visit shops that usually have credit card terminals because it will be more convenient as I’m not the kind that will bring a bag along with me, therefore credit cards and debit card are my essentials. I might think twice when I go to a shop that don’t have credit card processing. Summore, almost everyone has a credit card now. If you are able to tap into these users, you will surely doing quite well compare to yor competitors that don’t accept credit card for their business.

If you want to get merchant accounts for your business, you can apply for it. Merchant Warehouse specializes in this and can help you set up the right credit card solution for your business. It’s your one stop merchant accounts service provider. You can count on them. If you are unure of it, you can even get online demo in their website.

If you have an online business, accepting credit card is consider a must. You can also get online credit card processing from them and you are on the way to make more money from your website!

If you want to make more money and have bigger market, it’s time to accept credit card in your business. I’m sure you will do better with it.

Facestat

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Facestat

What is Facestat? I found out about this from jangbokjae.com. I decided to give it a try. It’s really interesting. You can upload your photos and then let people judge you. See what they see from you. Just by judging your photo. You can also be one of the judges to judge other people photos.

The result can be quite accurate, quite amusing too. It’s pretty interesting to know what your first impression is to people. Especially if you like to post your photos in your blog, people will judge you from what they see in your photos. If you are wondering what they see in your photo, you can use this as a guideline. If you don’t like the result, then don’t post the photo and find another photo hehehe… However, I still can’t find a way to delete my uploaded photo in my account -.-” Hahaha…

I got my result. Let’s see… This is the summary of the result. You can see the attributes that describe you on your photo which I didn’t show it to you here because I forgot to screen capture it. When I realised it, I’m too lazy to do it πŸ˜›

Please click to read more as there are many duplicated photos of me *LOL*, I don’t want to scare you away with the photo, I don’t like that photo πŸ˜› *LOL*

WHAT THE F***!

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on WHAT THE F***!

YAY! Going to Penang!! 16th-20th October 2008. Anyone in Penang? πŸ˜›


Few days ago, there were only some tyres there. Now! It’s pilling up and becoming a mountain of tyres soon!

What the f***! What’s wrong with these people?!?!?! I think we will be seeing another bout of dengue fever in this area again soon! *touch wood* I really hope whoever is doing this thing will get his whole family down with serious dengue fever.

For those that you know who you are, this is the time for you to shine and prove it to us that you are far more effective than you-know-who. Take this chance. It’s an opportunity for you. It’s in your hand now, don’t push it to another counterpart, people are putting high hope on you. If the bout of dengue fever started, people will be blaming you but not others.

Damn it to whoever that dump those tyres there!
