Hari Kedua

I had a great day today. I set my alarm to go off at 9 am, but I eventually got up at 10.15. I'm still stuck in Phoenix time I guess. The start of the day was slightly hectic, as I had to go and look for books, and do all my other things. The evening was nice. I played hand ball, with some of my mates. Then, in the night, the same mates and I went for some Hookah. It was my first time, and it felt really weird. The place was neat, but only it was empty, and there was a club called "Gentleman's Club" opposite the Hookah store. I wonder what that is. And I've finally seen a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640. And now I want to sleep.

Back In Daytona

So here I am, back in Florida, where I will spend the next four to five months trying to have as much fun as I can, while doing what I came here to do.

The return trip, was not fun in any sense. First, there was the flying. I dislike flying, unless, I'm the pilot. Second, I got charged 50 dollars because one of my bags was 9 pounds over the limit. I managed to bring it down to 5, but they still charged me 50 dollars, on top of the 17 dollars needed to check my bag in.

I flew back with US Airways. Though they had a great, comfortable plane and a slightly larger legroom, I wasn't too impressed with their service. They had a great crew, but it was their operational capability that got me thinking. First of all, I nearly lost my seat because they had sold more tickets than there were available seats on the aircraft. Second, they charged me 2 dollars for a bottle of water, something which was free aboard the American and Delta flights which I took. It's not that it is a huge sum or that I'm going to go crazy about it, but after paying so much for a ticket, the least they could do was to offer a complementary beverage to the passengers. It may loose them a bit of money, but at the end of the day, one has to look at the marketing side of things. If a customer isn't happy about certain things, they are less than likely to want to use that service again. And when that happens, you loose business, and profits will hurt as a result. At least, that's how I look at it.

But thankfully, I got back, safe and sound, and I'm not ready to start again. I'm some ways I'm not to keen on the semester, but when I think about the possibility of playing with a "large arse" telescope, peering into the heavens and looking at some of the most amazing stars, constellations and planets, I feel motivated.

I want to have a great semester.

Another Goodbye

Not another goodbye again!

How many times do I have to deal with this in such a short space of time?

I'll be leaving for Florida tomorrow morning.

I don't want to go!

I Love Babysitting

You know, kids are the best. We were having lunch today, and my aunt asked my seven year old cousin about the type of girl that he likes. After asking a few questions, this is what happened.

Aunt: Do you like girls with big boobs or small boobs?
Joe: I want no boobs!
All of us: Laughing
(After a few moments of silence)
Joe: Mommy, What are boobs?

What did I tell you?
You know what? I think I make a good baby sitter. Here's why.

(At a restaurant having dinner, with rock music in the background)
Uncle: What is all this noise? I came here to have a meal in peace. Kids, you are all
not allowed to listen to rock music.
(After some talking)
Me: Joe. What do you want to do with your life?
Joe: I want to rock!

I rest my case =p

F-Bomb

How does one give birth to twins that have birthdays on different year, different month and different time?

Well.. You give birth to one on the 31st of December 2008, at around 11.26 PM and the next one on the 1st of January 2009 at 12.17 AM. That's how. And no, I'm not making this up. It really happened to a couple. I just read about it. It makes me wonder. So can the elder brother whack his little brother just because he was born 21 minutes after him? Or will there be a claim of equality? Hmm... Such deep thoughts. Oh yea? Well, what would you prefer?

Anyways, it looks like 2009 is already off to a great start. I spent the whole morning, productively gaining more, and more knowledge, and my hair is starting to become more obedient. All that's left? Saying a good FU to quite a number of people, and lambast them with a bit of what I would call "savory and constructive criticism and sign language" and then I'll be ready for 2010. Oh, I just can't wait for that part, and I know exactly who to start with. What else could I have meant when I said that I wanted to make more friends and more people happy in 2009?

Eh.. Cannot...2009 must be more positive! But then again...hehehe *influenced by the wild and whacky stories of metal and Formula 1 stars*

You know what? I think I'm gonna grab a beer.
