5 May 2000

Woke up yesterday morning feeling quite feverish and hot. Still I waited until about 15 minutes from my clock in time to call in sick for work. A lot of people must be disappointed with me today. Visited UPM Health Center meaning to get a sick leave but to my despair the place was closed for two days starting yesterday. So I went to Seri Serdang instead and rented a couple more VCDs. Then I rode straight to Sungai Buloh some 46 kilometers away to Uncle Dib's place. I needed to do my laundry real bad.

Later on I felt slightly better. Just finished watching The Cidar House Rules. For an oscar-winning film it was truly a snore-fest. Next I watched Next Best Thing. Suzie from Galaxie Magazine was correct about this one. This movie sucks, hard. Now I think I wasted some good money renting those junk. Just because they're oscar-nominated doesn't mean they're good. I won't be renting any more films in the near future.

My sister Lina was offered a job as a part time teacher back home in Kelantan. Good luck to you sis. I can never imagine myself being a teacher of any kind. Just the thought of it sends shiver down my spine.

My store manager granted me 3 days leave for next week. I am really looking forward to going home this time. Remember when I said I hated being home in Pasir Mas? I totally take that back now. The problem is whether I should detour to JB first since I only have 54 ringgit in my pocket. And forget about buying me a handphone. That looks like a distance dream right now.

Sazali (Ali) brought some asshole friend into my room tonight to watch some VCDs (probably porn). I didn't bother waiting so I decided to sleep downstairs instead. The time now is almost 4:00 AM and I'm supposed to get to work in about 4 houts. As you can see I'm having very little sleep nowadays.
