~ The doings of a jobless insomniac ~

So I'm jobless. I have a degree, with honours no less (3rd Class, I'm not that good :P), and I'm jobless.

Oh yippie yay!

Partly my fault, cause I'm reluctant to get off my ass and be more proactive in sending out resumes. I just did send out 4 or 5 more just now, and have plans to send out 4 or 5 more tomorrow. So I guess that's reasonably okay. I did also sent out 4 or 5 more last week. So I guess in that respect I'm quite well covered. I just now need to wait to get someone to hire me dammit.

I'm getting a bit desperate to find a job actually. You may not see me say it out loud, but I do kinda want to get a job like, now. Mainly cause I need money. You see, I took money from my parents to pay for a flight to Thailand, which now, is basically money down the drain. It may seem like I don't really care about that, but I do so want to get some money so that I can at least reimburse my parents for that RM500 or so. All the other expenses for that trip I can get back, it's only the stupid flight that is considered a waste and it's kinda eating me up inside.



Besides that reason, I also do need to money to kinda plan for a potential Taiwan trip. I say potential because I dunno if I will be going yet. It's ironic that my plans kinda seem to always lead me to places I've already been. I've been to Thailand and Taiwan. And I've planned an unsuccessful trip to Thailand and I'm thinking of a trip to Taiwan. :/

Additionally, I need the money so that I can buy stuff. I mean ultimately, money does make the world go round. ^^

Other reasons I need the job though, is so that I will not forget all the stupid stuff I've learnt in Uni so far. It seems kinda a waste to spend all that time studying something and not go into a field which actually requires me to use it no?

I may talk about how I regret not standing up for myself for my likes and dislikes or having more drive to direct my own life, but that will not be this post.

It's 3.46am at the moment. I don't really feel sleepy though. Maybe it's cause of the World Cup euphoria.


Spain won btw. XD

People keep saying that the match was bad, very unsportsmanlike, a scrappy affair, etc. etc. I personally thought it was great.

The football wasn't the best, that I admit. I mean, Holland seemed to have only thought of one way to handle Spain and that was to foul them everytime they got the ball. But I loved the match because it was tense like hell. I mean I was almost on the edge of my seat. It was almost on the verge of being stressful as everytime one side got near the net on the other side it was a question of how much damage they could do.

It wasn't the best match I've seen, but I was actually watching history in the making. I was actually watching the match where the 8th country will win the World Cup! It was kinda mind blowing if you ask me.

So besides my nonesense rambling on the World Cup, I spend most of my day reading this today...


Brisingr

Christopher Paolini's Brisingr. Third book in the Inheritance Cycle.

I didn't buy this when it first came out because I did get tired of the Inheritance Trilogy (It was a trilogy at the time) and I wanted to give up on it. But I saw this book for only SGD$8 in Singapore and I just had to get it. I mean it was so cheap, it was basically a bargain.

And I had to quickly read it so that I didn't have to lug it back and forth with me from Malaysia and Singapore. I have to say though, that I did actually enjoy it. Some parts did bore me especially when it was characters that I didn't really care for, but the other parts were thoroughly entertaining.

And I do see why people say it's a blatant rip-off of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I would also like to add in another, which is Harry Potter. Reading this book felt like I was reading the best of all three of those highly regarded series. I guess it's a compliment as well an insult at the same time. Haha.

But it was thoroughly entertaining. I will probably get the fourth book now, but I would probably wait till it was at cheap prices as I did with Brisingr. XD

Anyway, last thing I wanna say before I go:



I'm in love love love, I'm in loovee... :P

So okay, just joking. But she sure looks cute. Hahaha. I stumbled upon her by watching Husky's videos, sooo... yea... :P

Anyway, that'll all for today. I feel like I have a lot of other things to talk about but I can't seem to remember it and seriously anyway, who do you think is gonna read up to this point anyway? :P

If you did, leave me a comment and I will send you something. I'm thinking a CD, maybe a collector card or just a thank you note. I do have the CD and the cards btw, I just dunno if you want it. HAHAHA. Anyway, first three people to comment and say if you want the CD, card/s or thank you note will get it. I swear it on Aiur. :P

*Note: If you really did ask me for it, do let me know how I can contact you so that I can send it out. I'm deadly serious. Lol.*
