Money issue

cloud

The stupid phone prank from some debt collector (I assume) just happened again. Many thanks to the previous tenant for causing all this trouble. The whole family moved to other city few years ago and left tonnes of unpaid debt without even bothering to change their contact number and address. Of course, they want to run away from paying the debt, why bother change the address?

We have been receiving tonnes of phone calls asking about that-family (the wife in particular), from well-mannered-phone-call-from-Banks to some idiots that accuse us from hiding that family’s contact, insist that we are that-family who is lying to him. WTF? If I know their address or contact number, I will be very gladly give it to whoever debt collector that needs it. Why would I lie that I don’t know and receive the same harsh call for more than 10 times in a day?

Sigh. This is just super duper annoying. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Being accused for something that you have no idea about. I hope that-family will have a very ‘good’ life right now for leaving their debt and troubles behind. Just keep on running, don’t stop since you owe lots of people now. And oh, please continue living your I-am-so-rich kind of lifestyle and keep on borrowing money from people just to afford that lifestyle. Your kids will be very happy with the presents (read: unpaid debt) that you left for them in the future.

So, if you ever borrow money from people, please pay it on time. If it is at a large scale, don’t ‘hide’ like what that-family do. Think about the people who lend you $ also.

Happy weekend.

Bride Wars on the weekend

I spent some of my free time on Sunday watching this rom-com (or rather friendship comedy), Bride Wars. Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway play as bestfriend, whom has their wedding on the same day at the same place. Heh, simple matter that turns into disaster.

Two things that I love from this movie:

  • The wedding dress that Kate Hudson wears. I don’t like the upper part of the dress but the ribbon and lower part of the dress is just.. oh so fabulous. I’m dying to have one. When it’s my turn. Hehe.
  • The short wavy hairstyle of Anne Hathaway. Too bad it just appears for a while at the end of the movie. I too wanna curl my hair and get away from blow-drying it everyday to maintain the shape.

When someone steals your blog content

I couldn’t believe this when (one month ago) I ran through my less-than-2-months-old blog in copyscape and found out there was this blog that steal my content. Copy paste exactly the same including the picture. Not just one article but from the first post! Wtf!?! I sweat all day night doing research, edit pictures, and post while that culprit just copy like that.

I checked into whois and found out that the domain name whatsoever is registered under someone from China! *anger reach to the max* The only thing that made me felt better was, I wasn’t the only victim cause that fella also stole others’ content. Soon I realized that the culprit stole it from my RSS.

I have forgotten about this issue until I read that weblogtoolscollection turned the RSS feed into summaries (but changed it back to full feed later on) cause somebody stole their content.

It pushed me to change my RSS feed to show summary-only too. Until I find the way to deal with this issue or I forget about it.

Happy weekend!

P.S. Four more weeks to go until the one week vacation. Teehee!

P.P.S. Offer letter from the university is here. Gotta find some time to get it from the local education agency.

P.P.P.S. Waiting for the study grant’s result is oh so frustrated. Kill me please…

Airasia is back with 1 million FREE seats

Thanks to the one-million-free-seats promotion (travel perious: January to April 2010) , Airasia website loads so slow. Expected. Just imagine MNG having 50% sales, almost every woman in town will rush to the outlet. Imagine squeezing with the crowd to grab the-desire-discounted-item, long queue at the waiting room, barcode scanners that stop working cause there is just too much customers, and the list of horror goes on.

Now when there is a chance to fly to Hongkong or Australia for ‘FREE’ (still have to pay the tax yadayada), it is expected that almost everyone will rush to the site. I’ve expected the crowd and slow loading time that keeps on bringing me to an error page. If so, why am I throwing myself into the frustration and squeeze with the crowd to book a cheaper tickets for next month holiday? *self blaming on* Stupid.

Update:
Yay! I managed to book the tickets for next month after spending more than 2 hours ‘shopping’ in Airasia website. *big wet eyes* Highlight of the trip will be Redang island! I should have bought the cute beach wear and huge sunglasses at The Curve the other day. Ugh. But, boyfriend doesn’t seem to be going with us, so why bother. :P Am also hunting on the waterproof case for my digicam.

Done one major thing. The next thing is to come out with travel plan, organize transportation, accommodation, timing, yadayada. Sounds like so many things to settle. *faint down*

Most probably this is going to be my last holiday for this year, as I will be slaving to pay for my tuition fee. :P
