Rainy Saturday

I decided not to logon to my regular "spaces.live.com" blog account via my company laptop, though I knew there is a way to forgo the secure connection. I noticed that my current laptop had a spyware in it already ... I'm sooo screwed!

Anyway, it was rainy the whole day... and luckily the suite provide me with free breakfast, and I still have abundant supplies of instant noodles in my suite. I cooked the "American Breakfast" - "2 hot dogs with 2 porch eggs" for lunch!!! Not too bad to have a 'breakfast' for lunch =)
After the lunch, I crawled back to bed again, under my warm cotton quilt blanket. Think I'm gonna get myself a few more extra pounds when I'm back to my home country =,="

Later in the evening 5:00 p.m. the rain stopped, and I figured that I have to get something for dinner (at least a light one) before the weather becomes gloomy again. I surf the Internet to see if I could find any salad dish from the Chick-Fil-A... and viola! I got myself a garden salad, vanilla milkshake and an ice-tea (sweet). The Vanila milkshake is so yummy, and that is nothing that I can find from Malaysia! McDonalds and KFC would have to stand aside for Chick-Fil-A, and I'm a fan for Chick-Fil-A in face book now!

Since I move down to Woodlands, I'm happier... the suite is modern & well decorated plus no more creepy feelings! Furthermore, there's a lot of shops and restaurants around here where I can walk around to explore... There's even "Borders" down a few roads from where I'm staying, where I could spend time reading books during the weekends. Initially I planned to spend time at "Borders", but then I canceled the idea since it will be rainy throughout the weekends =(

There is a bunch of stuff that needs to be completed... and on top of all, I've not done my timewriting (which will be due in 2 hours time!... =,=")!!! Ever since I arrived in Houston, I'm not as hardworking anymore... I'm so hook-up to the TV movies & feel so comfortable in my bed that I find it hard to concentrate on my work.

I've spent > RM1000 so far on Coach bags, Victoria Secret products, Levi Jeans, GAP shirts, ... etc, and I'm still thinking about spending money!!! I wanted to buy an ebook (coz it's soooo coool), but then it leads me to thinking about getting a mini-notebook, and eventually thinking about getting an iPhone instead! haha... It's gonna be a huge bill for me to settle when I'm back, if I keep spending money like water! Anyway, I feel that the most practical thing to get is to buy a digital voice recorder - at least I could record some important points during a meeting... juz in case I could not catch "their" words.

I have to admit that my English is bad, as a Malaysian who received "Chinese" education during the early education, who do not learn much about English until Standard three... and who does not speak English at home on day-to-day basis... I just wish I could improve myself further!

I tried to look up the universities in the website these days, as I really feel like getting a MBA. If I could get a scholarship, that would be better! There used to be opportunities for me to study at UNSW and NTU... but I turned them down, coz I need to earn a living to support my family. Sometimes it makes me wonder if my sacrifice is worth it??? My dad never pays for my education - basically he never pays for anything (but the expenses for himself)! I pitied my mother, as she is the only one supporting the family! I'm fortunate, as I was able to gain scholarship for my tertiary education.

I feel like taking up an MBA course overseas, as I wanted to gain more exposure. Furthermore, I'll have a better prospect if I could study in an established university. I am in a dilemma right now, as I'm paying for all the household expenses, and I'm wondering if life would be difficult for my folks if I stop providing...

I'm 27 this year... and time does not stop ticking every minute, every second...
I'm thinking to myself, maybe this is not the right time to study - due to bad economy (a lot of people went back to college - and getting a scholarship/an entry to a good university overseas would be difficult). Furthermore, I've two major project coming my way... at least I should get them completed by the end of this year!

Am I thinking logically? Should I procrastinate? Should I buy a house first before obtaining my MBA??? Decision, Decision, DECISION... life is full of decision, and they often leads us to different path of our lives.

Argh... wish I could strike a million-dollar lottery! Or the next day when I open my eyes, I'm already a millionaire!!! Haha... I just wish that life could be that easy =)
