Yay. After feeling the life of a scholarship student awaiting his next payment (well, this is true in a different context) I got lucky. I got my money back. Well, some of it. I am no longer running around town with less than 10 bucks, munching on 30 sen <i>Mamee Monster packets<\/i> and walking from station to station to save money.<\/p>\n<p>So cursed it be that the company bus wasn&#8217;t here this morning. Thankfully, there was the <b>PUTRA Line<\/b> bus from the <b>Bukit Jalil STAR LRT<\/b>. Yes, PUTRA Line bus from the Bukit Jalil STAR LRT, not a PUTRA station! Odd odd, but I took it anyway, as it said it was going to ASTRO. Yay. 50 sen for that short ride.<\/p>\n<p>If only it would be as easy to catch the same bus back (I&#8217;m writing this at the office.) Getting out of ASTRO has always been a pain when it&#8217;s one of those self-appointed public-holiday Saturdays. Rightfully, the first and third Saturdays should be holidays. This was a second Saturday! There should have been a company bus!<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention that there are no cabs passing ASTRO. Well, at least people have credited my athletic looking legs. Perhaps if I am lucky, I shall catch the bus. If not, it shall be a 20 minute stroll past the Bukit Jalil school and stadium.<\/p>\n<p>I am cursing the inability of the office burner to overburn CD-Rs. Dangit. I bought 10 800MB CDs to burn a few things, like:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam full installer, 723MB<br \/>\n&#8211; Spinal Tap DVD rip, still far away from 701MB (I can only hope it can fit a 700MB one)<\/p>\n<p>* Disclaimer for friends, family and like-minded people of the RIAA: I&#8217;d buy the Spinal Tap VCD if I could find it here.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped that the extremely detached style of writing this post will portray my gender correctly. Go paste some stuff in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookblog.net\/gender\/genie.html\" target=\"_BLANK\">The Gender Genie<\/a>! My earlier blog entries may be male or female, depending on the style.
