Barcelona!!!

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

I am mentally stressed. Not for the wrong reasons but rather on the contrary. My company is offering a challenge for the consultants an incentive of qualifying for our international convention in Barcelona this August. The only problem is in meeting the stipulated requirements. Not being a whiner,but most of those who had already qualified had almost the whole year of 2004 to work for. Me? I have to lick my as off for a mere two months and try to produce half of what was done by those who had a year to work! Impossible? Of course not! Improbable? Definitely! Sigh…I really want to head to Barcelona and catch my favourite team in La Liga…Barca that is!

Mondae turned out to be a good day for me. All in all I earned a sum commission of $700 in 2 hours.*seriously* All praise to Allah!

My brain is rather dead momentarily. My JP Morgan run is tomorrow…though I am not so sure I can make it. 5.6km of running.Hahaha.

Quote of my day:"Do not try life insurance!Coz life insurance will try you!"

Everything is pretty normal in my life. A good friend of mine from my secondary school days just passed away a week ago. "Jazi…close your gaping mouth!!!" he used to cry out back then. The avid and keen student of the Beautiful Game. Always obliging and cheery. Zahid…my pal…I’m gonna miss you man. Though we may not have been that close as I might have wished,your presence had lit up my life in ways I had never realised till your unexpected call from God. Don’t worry pal,I’ll always pray for you. That’s the best thing a friend like me can ever do.

Last check on my income statement read : Mar 31st - $2700

Damn…when will I break my $3K milestone man!Money had never been an issue to me till quite recently,when this cute and naive 23 year old gal made the coy remark while we were out on an appointment…"Jazi,I wish you had a car. Then I will not have to drudge back in a public transport.It would be cosy I guess." Needless to say,her remarks made me wake up. I convinced her to take the MRT,though she was insistant on a taxi…and that was the last I heard from her. Aaargh!Another redhead who thinks that having a guy drive or bike you around is THE kinda guy worth thinking about.Then again of course,I am not generalising all kinds of women…it’s just a comment worth pondering about. A married man told me this,"Jazi,if a girl is keen to have you coz you are driving…tell her to f**k off! Coz obviously she doesn’t know that it’s easier to cuddle in the bus than to cuddle in a car while your eyes are peeled on the road!"I could not have put it better man. But of course,such crass remarks from a woman like that 23 year old will not dampen my spirit of getting a licence.I mean my intentions are purely family oriented. To drive my mom and bro for Hari Raya.(yeah sure!) Ferrying girls around are an absolute no brainer. I will not be a Comfort cabbie driver!!!

Talking about cabs,after meticulous calculations,I realised that over the period of March,I spent a whooping $168.50 on cab fares alone.Aaaargh!That’s the price peepz for not having your own licence. Target 2005:Get my licence. Target 2006:Get my RX-8 or have someone get it for me on my birthday!

I am stuck on some levels for my Castlevania game on my PS2 console. Shit! I hate RPGs.Leon Belmont,the slayer of vampires and demons. My kinda hero.I wonder where my fetishes for vampires sprung about. Must be the way they project their chillness!!!Ahax!

The Pope was inaugurated today. Yipeee! Of course there are no significant bearing of impact on my life,I just have this feeling that things are just gonna spice up in the religion world. Al Qaeda and its network of terror had always intrigued me. How the hell are they able to network so efficiently? Wish I knew the principles so that I can apply them in my working life. Doomsday is gonna arrive soon…just look at the small and big signs!!!

Question of the month for me…"When you know you are going to be great…how great will you be?"

The only certainty in this life now is the uncertainty that preludes every intentions and actions. I do not know why I just love having odds so against me. The more uncertainties involved,the more resolute I am with my pursuit.

Advice of the month from me…"Live out your life the way you dreamed it should be. If someone tries to squash your life…let him be. Just dream away another life!"
