Day 5: 1 Wedding and Shopping for Stuffs I Kinda Need

Phew, today is tiring day. From my house, my parents and I went to a wedding in Lenggeng, Negeri Sembilan. I told my dad that I really wanted to buy the shoes he bought in Takasima. So, from Lenggeng, we went to Mines and lo and behold, I bought a pair of shoes that is originally RM179 for RM39.90. What a bargain.

I also bought face wash and deodorant cuz I stink so bad without it. Kinda wish I could not like sweat so bad even in warm weather. Alright, here's what I really wanna talk about. I went to Yamaha, you know, the music store and saw the sweet Yamaha acoustic blue guitar. The price tag was RM330. I was so tempted to buy it but well... I'm not good at restringing  guitars. I dunno when to pick it up cuz tomorrow's Monday and I really don't have the time to come here during weekdays. So, I promise myself to buy it when it's pay day, usually at the end of the month. I will buy that sweet blue guitar.

As I was imagining myself playing a song with that guitar, reality popped that sweet dream like a douchebag. I just remembered that I need to pay my telephone bill. Thank God I remembered cuz my data is still locked to slow speed until I pay. So I went to Maxis and paid my bill. Had to go to the ATM to withdraw money cuz I had nothing in my wallet. Zilch after paying the bill. I only withdrew just enough to get by for the week.

After going to Mines, we went to Bangi Gateway, mom wanted to send a baju kurung to get it altered or something, I dunno. I excused myself to go to MPH and browse books there. There's a high chance I will go out with a book in my hand and yeah, I bought a book.

It's called How To Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie. It's high time that I need to act like an adult and learn how to be diplomatic and influence other people. I mean, I'm going to be a PTD, these things are like, mid day snacks to them. I need to prepare myself to learn about office politics, cuz where I'm working, it's a totally  different ball game.

The day's not finished yet! After Bangi Gateway, the last stop was Pizza Hut in Bandar Seri Putra. Mom bought 2 pan pizza and then we went back home at had dinner. Pizza dinner on a Sunday night.

By the way, forgot to tell you guys, Man chester United won the game against Aston Villa. Entertaining match, Herrera did great! Can't wait for the Manchester derby after this. Fuh!

Yeap, that's my Sunday, lots of going out and buy stuff and I continued playing Bloodborne for about an hour to defeat Vicar Amelia. I defeated her on my first try. So proud of myself. LOL

Thanks for reading this far. Hoping my Monday isn't that Blue but a bright colour of Gold. Can't wait to get that PTM letter and settle it once and for all!

Bubbye peeps! See you tomorrow!

Day 4: Bloodborne Saturday and a Meet Up With A Girl

This Saturday should be renamed as Bloodborneday, cuz everyone's playing the damn game and sharing pictures on Twitter.

I'm so focused in grinding levels and upgrading my weapons I forgot to share the pics to brag on how I'm progressing faster than everyone else. However, I stopped playing in a bit in the morning cuz I have  to go to Mid Valley to have breakfast with my family. My sister wanted to change money, she's going to Netherlands and Italy. I'm envy her. Wish I could follow her alongside with my brother-in-law and my nephew.

Put Envy aside, I met with a fellow gamer and friend I met during TwtupGamersMY. Liyana's her name. She's a cool girl, a it on the shy side, and it was her first time going to Mid Valley. She's browsing and surveying for a Nintendo 3DS XL. I say, the prices are crazy high, I bought mine for RM720 with Mario Kart 7 in it at Low Yat. That was back in 2013.

I tried to persuade her in doing an episode for the podcast, but she seems reluctant. It's her choice, I'm just giving her a chance to like, have fun, talk and record the conversation. Maybe she is shy. I dunno, she's really got potential in being a good conversationalist.

It was a brief meet up cuz I had to go back home, mainly because my mom wanted to go to Mines after that. I said my goodbye and we parted. When I touched down at mi casa, I was lazy to go out again. So, I excused myself and played Bloodborne like heck. 6 hours straight! BOOYAH!

Man, I killed 4 bosses, Undead Giant, The Watchers, Watchdog of the Old Lords and Blood Starved Beast. I was exhausted after that. I died a lot fighting the Watchdog, stupid fire dog. Bitch, Well, now I can go full throttle playing Bloodborne. I'm not planning to go to NG+ first. I'll save that when I'm really mentally ready to go that far.

So yeah, that's it for today. I hope you guys are having a great Saturday. Will do try to be consistent in finishing B.E.D.A until the 30th day. C'mon Rizal, you can do it! It's the 4th day already! 26 more days to go.

Thanks for reading, bubbye!

Today's pic of the day is:

I wanna play this games with girls. Hmmm.. what's she doing going down on all 4 in front of him? Hahaha!

Day 3: Disappointing Friday, Weekend Joy!

Friday. Ahhh... The day we all look forward to enjoy the beginning of a 2-day weekend.

Why does the title say Disappointing Friday? It's because the Program Transformasi Minda letter wasn't finalized and I have to wait next week for them to send it to me and many other officers that needs to attend the course. I need that letter to attach t to my postponement letter as proof that I'm still on probation. I really want to get this settled as fast as I can and not make the JPA officers wait any longer.

On the other hand, like any other working people, I'm looking forward to the weekend to do things I love to do, like playing Bloodborne!! I have to catch up on others, they're all so far in front of me, I'm lagging behind. I have to finish Bloodborne before Mortal Kombat X comes out. I can't concentrate playing 2 games at once. I need to play games one-by-one.

Damn, I'm tired. I'm typing this post while lying on bed, laptop on my chest. This is a bad posture. Who cares, this will be short anyway.

So that's it. Got nothing interesting to talk about. Friday is lazy day for me. Give me a break, I wanna watch YouTube videos and listen to songs until I fall asleep. That's my type of rest and relaxation.

See ya peeps tomorrow! I hope I don't play the day away until I forget to do this. Thanks. To compensate for the short post, here's a picture that I like to share with you for no apparent reason. It's just a pic I took from a mall. Again, bubbye!

How cool is this? I can take a dump and then if I'm strong enough I can take a piss at the other toilet bowl. Hell Yeah!

Day 2: Program Transformasi Minda, Postponement News and Monkey Business

2nd of April guys and girls, I'm still alive and I feel great! I called Public Service Department of Malaysia and they told me that I can postpone and my name won't be removed from the course. Yeay! I will join the next course which they don't know when. So, hoping it'll be end of this year.

2nd day of April. Nothing interesting, I touched up my postponement letter and went to a meeting. I'm waiting for the Program Transformasi Minda letter so I can't attach it to my letter as proof as to why I have to postpone going to the course.

The thing about people knowing you will be changing jobs is that you have to tell them that you're not going now. Then, al of them are like, "Laaaaaa..... why lah?" and I told them I have yet to confirm my post and they're like "Wah, so late to confirm job? Our time, PTM was done during our first year. So weird, doing it this late. Then, you're late one batch. When's the next course?"

Yeap, people next time when you break a news like this, not when you get the online result. Wait for the letter to come and then tell them.

PTM will be done in INSTUN, Institut Tanah dan Ukur Negara somewhere in Perak. Yep, that far. I've never been there. It's a 5-day course about Malaysian history and the Malaysian Government. It has classes, activities and that's it. The last day there will be an exam. So, when you finish PTM, they will have a meeting, look at our scores and how well be behaved during the course. So, if the panel unanimously agree to let you pass the course, you pass with flying colours. For me, this is the last one left to confirm my post now. I've finished my department's exam and also General Order Exam. If I pass this, I will be a legit government servant, no more in probation. Yahoo!

I called the ministry and they said the letter will be given tomorrow. So, I have to wait to send my postponement letter on Friday. That sucks, I thought I can send it today.

Yup, and now I can breathe easy knowing I don't feel trapped choosing to resign and be stressed when I go for the PTD course,

Yeah, there are monkeys terrorizing my neighbourhood and I'm afraid to take run outside on the treadmill, fearing ti will be attracted to the songs and the noise of the treadmill. Damn those monkeys. I hope PERHILITAN will catch them soon. Yeah, yeah, my podcast's name is Rambling Monkey, but doesn't mean I love those things. They are considered as pest here in Malaysia. You can shoot it without feeling any remorse. Well, if you're PETA or some extreme animal rights activist, you'd do something else. For me, screw them, take out our gun and shoot on sight.

Alright, I think that's it for tonight. Tomorrow's FRIDAY! (Singing Rebecca Black's Friday) Stay tuned for the 3rd day of B.E.D.A, maybe something interesting will happen... or not. I dunno, I can't predict the future.

So long readers, see you tomorrow. Hope you had a great 2nd of April and may it continue throughout the whole month of April and beyond. Goodbye!

Blog Every Day in April (B.E.D.A) Day 1, You Freaks! April Fools Mofos!

Hey, it's that time of that month again. No, I'm not taking about your period or bleeding profusely for days and stuff. That's gross. I'm talking about B.E.D.A, Blog Every Day in April, where I challenge myself in composing posts errday in this inter-monsoon month of April. So, let's not ramble a lot, and get on to Day 1*.

* Fine, I know it's already the 2nd of April. I was tired af yesterday and now I have to do 2 posts in one night. So if you have a problem with that, don't read, capiche?

So, 1st of April, one interesting thing happened to me, but we'll start from the beginning. So, as all of you already know, GST just got implemented and yes, a lot of people are complaining about some shops are raising the price of their stuffs and giving out bogus receipts. So yeah, it's a shitstorm of people complaining about it. I read the timeline on Twitter, GST was (still is, actually) trending.

Alright, fast forward to 6.00pm, I'm heading back home, and I'm driving normally until... 2km from the Putra Mahkota exit, a bus suddenly flashed it's lights on me from far away. I'm like, WTF? So I went to the side and  I'm lkelet it pass me. When they did, Someone indicated to me that my one of my tires was flat. I was like, "Oh shit, this is bad". I just drove with a flat tire until the workshop I usually go, and what I saw is that my tire got slashed by something. I didn't remember hitting anything when I was driving.

So yeah, changed the tire and lo and behold... I didn't have enough money to pay for the god-damn tire. I only had RM140 in my pocket and the tire cost RM155. Dude also said I need to change something, I forgot what part of the rim but it was only RM5. All in all, RM160. Embarrassed, I called my dad to swing by to pay for the excess amount. When I was about to pay, the guy took out his calculator and I was like "Eh, RM155 + RM5 also need calculator ah?". He replied, "No, GST, 6% add to RM160 maa...". Ah crap, of all the days, it happened on the 1st day of GST. So, I ended up paying RM169. The original price was RM169.06, but I got a RM0.06 discount. Hey, better than nothing.

I drove back home, with no money in my pocket. So that was my 1st day of April. Yeay!

Oh yeah...... Ermmm.... folks, I have some news for you. Remember I told you that I got through the PTD interview. Yeah, I got the letter already to join the one-year course, but I opted to postpone the course to the other one. You wanna know why? Cuz I haven't confirmed my current post yet. If I go now, then I have to resign and start fresh, with no continuing service, my salary will decrease and also, if anything happens during the course and I got chucked away from the course and I resigned my current job, I won't have a job anymore. Yep, so to be safe, I will confirm this job, and when the next course comes, I can request for study leave with no pay. And whatever happens during the course, I can go back to my old job, because my name is still in my current job place. Yep, that's my story.

So thank you readers if you have read this far. Typing this as fast as I can cuz I have to do the 2nd day's post. Well, see you on the next post. Please, be nice. Goodbye!

Regards,

Raziel Rizalinium.
