The Day My Mulut Takde Insurance....

Early this year, I had gone through a phase of “I need to do something with my life. I cannot go on like this… life has to have more meaning than this” and with that what did I do? I didn’t pack my bags and go traveling in search of adventure….. Instead, I decided to go back to school. And for the past week I’ve been knocking my head on the wall, thinking what an idiot I am. I had to forego lots of fun stuffs, movies, futsal, late night snacks at Hartamas Square, chilling with friends, TV, scuba, box-set DVDs and also couldn’t contribute much to our jewellery business - *Commercial break sat - Athena, Noobs and I had decided to slog for some extra cash since we’re broke most of the time, and that’s just not right. So, anyone interested in great beautigoojas jewelleries, do drop a line or email and special viewing can be arranged ;-)

Back to the story mory - Why have I been calling myself an idiot? Because…. I had to sit for EXAMS! What lah. I’m too old for exams. And I PAID for this torture. Ayo yo yo….

Anyways, here are the facts – I will have to complete 15 subjects plus thesis in order to earn my MBA. 10 core subjects, and 5 electives. That is tough aint it???! This first semester I decided to do 2 subjects. 2 down, 13 more to go! Uarghhhhh!!!! Another 2 plus years of this…?? *sigh*…………….. I can do this, yes I can. I’m not gonna give up. But the funny thing is, now that it's semester break, I kinda miss the classes and the assignments and the studying part.. cant wait for the new semester to start end of December.


So, anyhow, on Saturday, my dad and his friends decided to have their society’s Hari Raya Gathering at my dad’s dusun durian – I guess they liked the space.


As I was weaving through the crowd, my dear Papa called me over to this group of ladies and introduced me to this friend of his, and he said this auntie is with the UNIVERSITY I'm with. Then he sorta “opened” the subject of me doing MBA there and how expensive the fees is and how I’ve been “complaining” to him on the oh there are so many subjects I gotta endure. And at that moment, I dunno what got into me, I went on and on, comparing the UNIVERSITY with UK universities. (I found out on the net that in some British universities, MBA students are only required to complete less than 10 subjects and there’s no need for thesis). And this lady agreed with me and said she will look into the matter and change the system. However, she said, I will not be affected with the change.. uwarghhhh………… So anyways, I excused myself and returned to my friends telling myself, “ya right.. change. Ye la tuh…. I’ll see cows flying first BEFORE there’ll be any CHANGE……….”

Later………………….. I asked my dad who the UNIVERISTY lady was. And he said… that's the Vice Chancellor! Halamak katak!!!!! This is no longer the classic case of putting my foot into my mouth – it’s more like putting me entire ass into my throat! Lucky I didn’t complain on this lecturer of mine who I don’t really fancy… wooopsy daisy poooo……………..
