back to square one.

I thought I had a done deal, and that my team & I would get cracking immediately, seeing how pressed we already are for time.

Met up with the rest at uni, and yay Ferry drove us! I think if I'd tried stuffing all of us in my taufu car the bottom would be scraped with every bump my car had to overcome.

We listened to the morning prank of this smartass dude cussing aaalll over the radio... until his mom was on air, listening to every single profanity uttered from that foul orifice. "Jeremy, is that you? I can't believe you're saying all these terrible things.. Wait till I tell your father.. I am so disappointed in you, who has been teaching you to say all these things?" to which he transformed into a completely cowering mommy's boy, fumbling for words:"mom, mom, mom, mom, I'm so sorry, mom..." hah, that got you properly, sucker. I don't know who you are, but if you have the galls to say it you have to be prepared to face the consequence. I don't know if I can do the same but I would certainly try my best to eat all I've chewed off, even if it may be more than I can take at once.

Headed to Theta at Plaza Damas this morning, amazingly without getting lost (under my direction ok, I'm determined to be the odd one out of the female species who can give directions and not get lost) and the meeting with Ms Edna and the rest of them was quite pleasant if it weren't for the fact that the outcome wasn't as positive as all of us (me especially I think) were hoping for. It seems that because most of their senior staff were away working on overseas projects we couldn't work with them. I find it a great pity though, cause I really think it would have been a great experience. Well that's what I felt anyway.

The really good part of this meeting was that I think I impressed them reasonably well enough, cause Ms Edna kept going "We were very impressed with your group leader's confidence and were very interested in getting your team to work with us if it weren't for the unfortunate circumstances.." She also added that she would help us source out another project, and recommended that we put in our CVs for their perusal should we have required work after graduation. *is blown away by their generosity* seriously!

Having lost hope of attending Simon's lecture before he ended, we headed to mackers instead for a quick snack. And here the second sueh moment of the day occured - there was an MBPJ saman waiting for Ferry. I was completely ignorant of the parking ticket thingy... sigh! We promised to pay up our share for our joint negligence. I kinda felt guilty and sorry at the same time seeing him go "Oh celaka! Dah lah projek tak dapat.."

But the future still looms ahead - now I need another project, and fast. Going to consult Serena tomorrow. I have to, I cannot afford to drag the rest down with me just because we made the mistake of being too slack. Week 4! Gosh, this should be a good lesson for me.

I don't know why but I felt so so so tired after I got back, I crashed for abit. Must be from the lack of sleep throughout the weekend - Friday I was at a movie, then at the Monash Welcome Back party for awhile, then once I got home I was enjoying myself, having a reaaaaaaally long chat through to the morning, Saturday I was out almost all day, Sunday.. I picked up the chickenwing, which took up most of my afternoon, then a short break, then dinner and then that was it. So my rather enjoyable weekend passed by way too fast for my liking. sigh!

So what will tomorrow bring? I live in hope, like so many others. =)
