random ramblings

• oh no..i won't be able to accumulate all my credit card points and exchange for a sony vaio netbook! sob sob sob! my american express credit card points will no longer be included in maybank treatpoints since amex card will not be under maybank anymore. i hope amex members get good rewards too. does that mean i need to have another fund for my notebook?? and do i need a notebook??
• that notebook will be used to access my cafe world game on fb hahahaha. our cafe world game has reached another level. right now, i have 2 other players' login names and passwords so i can help them collect their dishes at the designated time. how is that for crazy? i have also given my login name and password to someone for the same purpose. and i am not the oldest in my group of cf friends. one is almost reaching middle-age.
  
• going to singapore during the deepavali weekend for sammi's concert. another fanatic thing to do. and i am lamenting at the high exchange rate. definitely no shopping. money will only be spent on transport, lodging and food. haven't even paid for my concert ticket. haven't bought my flight tickets nor booked my hotel. now u know where my next pay is going to.
• sob...only rm500 so called special assistance to civil servant in december. my heart aches and bleeds hearing that. on the other hand, the big amount of allocation given for education sounds good but...let's hope that the implementation is equally good. instead of spending so much to raise the standard of the languages in malaysia, can they spend the same amount of energy to only select the most qualified to join the teaching profession? if you only enrol those who pass their subjects in spm and want them to teach your kids in secondary schools, what kind of quality are you going to get? when you have a strong and qualified human capital, you won't need to spend so much of tax payers' money to buy softwares and teaching aids to help in the teaching because the person conducting the lesson itself already embodies everything good that you need in the lesson. hmmhh....am i getting what i typed?
• an increase of 1% in sales tax from 5 to 6. don't feel like eating at these places anymore. save $$$.
• import tax for 300 types of goods to be abolished. good news for shopaholics? i have never bought any branded bag in malaysia xcept for my first mulberry which had a 50% discount tag on it. perfume and cosmetics yes. so cheaper facial goods?
• time to get my ass off this chair for some marking. finished watching this week's episodes of glee, greys anatomy and gossip girl.
