This is going to be a short post (don't hold your breath though ... LOL!). It has been a very hectic week for me. All that weeks of lazing around, shaking my legs and doing absolutely nothing in the office has come to an end. I've been up to my neck with work since Monday that I don't even have the time to blog! How horrible ... LOL!
All of a sudden, one of my clients suddenly remembered my cell phone number and that I still exist in this world and has decided to dump on me a host of new projects. And being the wonderful clients that they are, they need all their work completed like yesterday! Oh well, who am I to complain. Times are bad, if I don't do their work, someone else will, so I just have to bow down to their wishes, sacrifice my precious blogging time and rush out all their work for them. LOL!
In fact, my work isn't fully completed yet and right now, it's 11.30pm and I'm dead tired from the past couple of days rush work but I just couldn't stay away another day without updating my blog. I should actually be in bed right now seeing as how I'm going to be stuck with loads of work the moment I step into the office tomorrow but the pull of my blog is too strong. Told you guys I was addicted to blogging.
I also haven't been blog hopping and need to do a little catching up on what you guys have been up too the past couple of days. I know there's some new genie luck thing going around the blogsphere. I could do with some good luck but I'm wary of that conniving genie king fellow who stills owes me 2 wishes from the last round of magic carpet thingy. And don't think I forgot buddy! LOL!
And since I'm talking about that no good conniving genie king, I'd like to wish the bum a happy birthday. Urmmm, how old are you again buddy? 47? No? 50? No? Well, you're old enough! LOL! It's still not too late and there is 20 minutes to go before his birthday is officially over. I wonder how it must feel to be able to qualify for senior citizens rate for the the LRT! ... hahaha ... Anyways, hope you had a blast bud!
I wanted to get you a couple of personalized gifts but seeing as how I was too busy I just didn't have the time to go get you one! LOL! There were some pretty great ones I saw at Personalizedkids.com and one that caught my fancy was the photo personalized dvd for kids ... urmmm, I mean adults, that would suit you just fine. Maybe next year I'll check out their store for gifts cos they have over 150 products which includes personalized dud's, personalized gifts, dozens of personalized books and a whole load more.
Anyway, all that aside, I did get richer by RM625.00 yesterday. My road tax expired and seeing as how the government has stopped subsidizing the fuel over here and decided to give a rebate of RM625.00 as compensation to cars owners below a certain engine capacity which I happen to qualify for. So since my road tax expired yesterday, I qualified for the rebate and was smiling from ear to ear after getting my road tax done and walking out the post office with an additional RM625.00 in my pocket! Woohoo, that sure comes in handy seeing as how I had to fork out quite a bit to fix my car last month.
Ok, I can't really keep my eyes open any longer and not wanting to fall asleep right here in front of the PC, I'll bid you guys a good night and will drop by your blogs tomorrow to catch up on what you've all been up to. I must be getting really old. There was a time I could stay up till the wee hours of the morning and not feel the least bit sleepy ... sigghhh ...

Hey I was at the post office too yesterday, trying to get my rebate (which I could only get next year btw :( ). You weren't at the post office in Ikano during lunch time, were you? (hah! like as if there's a big chance we just happen to be at the same place same time lah kan?)
ReplyDeleteI read about other people talking about this rebate. I'm not sure what it is for...is it a rebate for gas? We don't get that here. :o(
ReplyDeleteALAKAZAM!

ReplyDeleteSo u get ur Rm625 already?? Hmm spend it wisely ya..
Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteI got my RM625 too!! Sure feel nice hor? At least something back after paying the car insurance n roadtax!
i can only get it next year march right? only when the road tax expire?
ReplyDeleteAre you really addicted to blogging or just the money making part? I dunno about you but I like the money making part! Hehehe.. Happy Belated Birthday to Adrian!
ReplyDeleteFor NORMAL bloggers, your "short" post is still considered very the long lah! :P Hehehe
ReplyDeletePerky - Next year, how come? No I was far away from Ikano. I was at the Giant Subang Post office cos they have loads of free parking there ... LOL! But the crowd was pretty long though but I came away beaming with my RM625.00 :D
ReplyDeleteTammy - Well, once a upon a time ago, the government here subsidized our fuel but not anymore. And recently they hiked the price of fuel so abruptly that it hit a lot of people badly.
ReplyDeleteSo they offer us this measly rebate to try and appease us which really amounts to nothing in the grand scheme of things but it's still better than nothing though!
Adrian - Woi Genie King! You've got the cheek to show your face here seeing as how you still owe me 2 wishes from way back! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat you waiting for? Go get you rebate before the clowns in power decide to change their minds about it!
Too busy la dude to work on your magic lucky carpet thingy. I'll get it up soon, real soon, like pretty soon, maybe next year? Hahaha ...
Kadus Mama - What to do, been busy like crazy all day and night was the only time I could spare to blog for a bit ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I got my RM625.00 and I was like whistling happily while walking out of the post office ... hehehe ...
Jen - Yeah, it's not much but it still is way better than nothing, ya?
ReplyDeleteDeana - I thought you can already get your rebate? My cousin collected hers even though her road tax hasn't expired yet. But I guess the best would be to check with the post office. There's a lot of confusion going on at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSyura - Weeellllll, the money making part plays a HUGE influence in my blogging addiction ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteRozella - LOL! I don't know how to write short posts la ... Whenever I start to try writing something short, my fingers just don't cooperate and I end up with those long winded posts you're all used too (or at least I hope so ... LOL!)
ReplyDeletejust like smoking yeah...once you start, you can't STOP!
ReplyDeletei am addicted to blogging too, and many times i struggle with the temptation to log in to my blog at office hours just to peep around for new comments or to add a new post time to time!
i have tons of stuff to complete yet i am not even half way through them...wouldn't it be great if there's blogging gum to help with our addiction to blogging..
doncha just love the smell of NEW, CRISP money? mmmmm....can almost rival that of smoked bacon, er...i mean beef bacon. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo time to blog? Too horrible to contemplate!
ReplyDeleteGood news about the rebate.
Don't work too hard. And don't stay away too long...
You can blog when you're tired, that's impressing. But think about health is more important than blogging, so don't push.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. You can expend your tax rebate for the weekend fare.
Lol! you're not alone in this category. I, too can stay awake long till the next morning without feeling a bit of sleepiness.
this is a short post kah? LOL..
ReplyDeleteanyway, good to hear that you are getting richer!!! ;-)
Short?! this is not short!!! @_@ anyways dun worry, u'll get back to blogging and rolling in no time *giggles XD
ReplyDeleteALAKAZAM!! Nevermind budy we'll still give you all the good luck you can handle...
ReplyDeleteIt's Friday, It's Friday!!!
Alakazam!!! "Dissapperars in a small puff of smoke" hehehe
Hi Nick! Glad u got the rebate RM625, I have to wait till end of the year cos road tax expired then. HAve a nice weekend and rest, my friend. See you around. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nick
ReplyDeleteI haven't been here for a while and just read your last 5 posts. I hear you on being busy. We are half way through the school hols and the kids have me running here, there and everywhere.
Great news on the rebate but bad news about the non subsidy on fuel. Prices have skyrocketed here too.
YAY! Happy Birthday to Genie King and since it's his birthday, I think we can forgo those 2 wishes Nick! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe got our rebate too, went to One Utama post office and there was no queue there, so was very fast and efficient. Also spent the money oredi he he! ;)
KM - LOL! You're absolutely right about being addicted to blogging. There is never a day that goes by that I don't blog, no matter how busy I am :D
ReplyDeleteA blogging gum, I don't think that would work for me though ... LOL!
Hope you get all your work completed before the weekend ...
Perry - Oooo yeah, the smell of NEW, CRISP money, it just smells great :D Unfortunately it's almost all gone ... siggghhh ...
ReplyDeleteAnd since we're on the subject of smoked bacon, I feel like having some right now ... LOL!
The World According To Me - I have to agree. It should be a crime not being bale to blog ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don't intend to stay away for too long :D
Marlene - LOL! Not impressive but desperate! I can't resist blogging. It's so addictive ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteWelllll, the rebate is almost all gone ... siggghhhh ...
Monica - LOL! I don't think I could write a short post if my life depended on it ...
ReplyDeleteRicher? Me? Since when ... LOL! I wish I was getting richer though ...
Maslight - Short what this post ... LOL! Thanks for the vote of confidence :D
ReplyDeleteAdrian - Geez, will you quit smokin' up my blog already! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHey buddy, thanks for the luck, I could sure use some right now :D
Rose - Well, the end of the year is just around the corner so you won't have to wait too long :D You have a nice weekend too. So far my weekend is going to be busy with work!
ReplyDeleteGypsy - No worries, I haven't been to your blog in a while too. It's really been a pretty busy time for me. Hope to get back into the blogging groove soon though :D
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how it feels to have kids running around during the school holidays, so you have my sympathies ... hehehe ...
Maurica - I'm not letting him off the hook that easily. At least one wish la ... since you're his genie princess, bug him la for me ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteCool that you got your rebate. I didn't really have to wait all that long either and just like you, it was fast and efficient (which was a surprise ... LOL). And my rebate is almost all spent too ...
It's been a week I don't visit your blog and there's only two posts???
ReplyDeleteYou must be working a lot! :o)
Cidao - LOL! Yeah, I don't normally have two posts a week. Life has been hectic with work, work and more work!
