    I am an official Gleek!

     

    Is it considered “blushing”, if no one’s around to see it? When Mr. Schuester was dancing to The Thong Song with Emma… I kinda did. Hehehehehehehee….

      

     

    Right???

    How cute is he?? Or how about this one:

     

    If any of my high school teacher looked and acted like him (so kind!), I would probably have the hardest time concentrating on my studies because I’ll be thinking about my teacher ALL the time.

    *Gleek = fan of Glee

    This boy:

    Mika_side_eye

    Look at him giving the side-eye to Winnie the Pooh while forcing his way through the rumble of destruction that was his birthday presents.

    Sayang you, Mikail!

    I must have done something REALLY bad in my past life

    This week might just be the worst week of my entire *cough*SIXTEEN*cough* years of life…

    On Tuesday, my SIM card decided to die on me. I was trying to send a text to someone, when suddenly an error message came up: SIM card is missing. I thought it was the stupid phone that couldn’t detect the SIM card. The next day, I tried my SIM card on someone else’s phone, and the same error came up. CRAPPPP. So I called Celcom from my office line, and they said I had to go to their branch and get it replaced, but because my line is a supplementary line, I still need an authorization letter and copy of IC from my principal (my dad). So I did a mad scramble and luckily dad was accommodating enough, so I got a new SIM card and I broke the old one into 10 million pieces… padan muka!

    On Wednesday night, my washing machine stopped working.. again! It broke down two weeks ago and I had a technician to fix it, but it broke down again this time, while in the middle of a wash. Since the clothes were all wet and damp, I couldn’t just leave it in there and stink up the place. I had to wring out the water from the clothes and put them in the dryer, thinking that after the washing machine is fix, I can just wash it again.

    THEN, after 120 minutes of drying, the clothes were still semi-damp! So now I know the dryer is broken too because 120 minutes were more than enough to dry out the size of the load. BLERGHHHHHHHHH.

    I called the respective technicians to make an appointment for them to service the machines. The washing machine guy said he could come on Friday at 930am, but the dryer guy could only come next week. Okay, fine. At least I can wash my clothes on the weekends (or so I thought).

    Yesterday (Thursday) before leaving the apartment for work, I grabbed my keys on the table and rushed out the door, simultaneously locking the doorknob from the inside as I normally do. When I was outside trying to lock the grill, I realized that the keys that I took was the car keys!! And the door was already locked from the inside. I WAS LOCKED OUT OFMYOWNFREAKINGHOUSEEEEEEEEEE. Science, grant me patience. I called all my siblings to check whether any of them have their copies of my house keys with them, and luckily my sister had one with her, so I arranged to used hers when she got back from work. Disaster averted, but feeling of stupidity continues.

    So last night after my lovely and beautiful sister helped me out with the keys, I was feeling like some Glee. I LOVE GLEE. I will marry the creator of Glee if I could. Anyway, I tried to d/load the most recent episode, but suddenly the internet got disconnected. I checked the router and the router was fine, and I waited for another hour but the internet was still down. I thought, OK streamyx, you idiot. I’ll let you win tonight, but tomorrow morning while waiting for the technician to arrive, you better be working.

    And guess what? The internet was still down this morning! I wanted to call streamyx, but I was waiting for the washing machine guy to call me when they arrived. BUT GUESS WHAT. Someone from the service centre called me to confirm an appointment for their technician to look at my machine next week.

    ………

    SHUT.THE.F.UP. I was so pissed, I ranted a whole 15 minutes at the… whoever they were, because the technician already confirmed with me that he’ll come at 930am today, and now you’re telling me that no one is coming?? Then their supervisor had to talk to me, saying that they’re sorry for the misunderstanding, but their technician swore that no one made any appointment with me, so basically they’re calling me a liar. IDIOTS.

    So NOW, I have the Streamyx hotline to look forward to tonight (sarcasm), have to go to a laundrette because if I don’t I won’t have any clothes to wear for next week, AND I have to arrange for appointments AGAIN for the washing machine and dryer guys.

    Science!!

    So cool

    I was in a meeting when this guy called my office line and left a voicemail. Because of Microsoft Unified Communications Email and Telephone Integration, any missed calls/ voicemails from my office line will be directed to my inbox. Isn’t that cool? Almost Star Trek-ky. This is all fine and normal, but today’s edition is extremely LOL-worthy, as I received a voicemail from this guy, who left his message in Malay. Basically he was inviting me (ie my company) to his company’s Raya open house in Putrajaya tomorrow. The Speech engine ‘read’ the Malay message as English, and the results were hilariously disastrous (in blue):

    voicemail 

    Cynical Sharifah Maryam!

    I re-play the voicemail over and over again just to see how his pronunciation could be interpreted as the above. Wasn’t successful at identifying the similarities because i was DYING from laughter every time. But you know that ‘So cool’ in the end? It was actually for ‘assalammualaikum’. Ahahahahahahah!

    *wipes tears*

    With that, folks, So cool.
