My last first day…

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Today is my last first day as a Monash Undergraduate student…A couple of months from now, i will be graduating…Maybe i might consider Masters or Honours…Maybe i might work…maybe i might just disappear…

But the fact is, today is my last first day at uni…

And wat a day it was…To be greeted by juniors in the morning who instead of saying "Hi, how are u? Long time no see" say "Ur still here…Are u tutoring this class?"…Do i even sound like a tutor?

SO many ask me whether im tutoring or what am i doing in campus…damn…

Nevertheless, a good result from the promos we did regarding COSTA, Mona Cine, the radio and tv production…im glad that there are still souls out there interested…

MUSA wants me to do an advertisement for them…why not?

Another Accident…

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Barely just 2 and half months I crashed my brother’s car, I have another accident…sigh…

This time was my muscled Toyota…It wasnt really my fault…The breaks were not working and the car in front just break suddenly also…So i swirled to the left and right before banging the road devider…Thank god my car had a solid body…

The damage was minimal…But still, another 300 to 400 bucks gone…How to save money to go Cambodia like this?…die la…

Moto_0246 <– pic of the damage…

Car will be ready by tomorrow though…Thank God for that…

Gunners dissarmed…

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Frankly speaking, MU deserved the victory…They played extremely well…Arsenal on the other hand, i dont know what to say…I expected the loss when i realize the big names were not playing but not a 4-0 lost…

However, it was an enjoyable game…I liked how MU played…Arsenal wasnt playing well at all…But i loved how they played dirty…The biggest joke was Adebayor for getting a yellow card for diving…wat the hell was he thinking?…

Anyways, we’re out of the FA Cup…Face Milan this week and still top of table…lets see how it goes…

But the GUnners will have their revenge…

Nothing much i can say about liverpool though…

Valentines Day Preperations…

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Join Aaron Raj as he goes in search for the best Valentine Gift he can find in the streets of Kuala Lumpur.

From cactus to Lingam t-shirts to soap powder he searches the streets and shopping malls in the capital.

He wants to get a gift he knows she will like and something she will use with a lot of love.

In the end, he buys her a mop. A mop to mop away his sorrows and her bad luck. They shall mop together until mopping was no longer needed.

Next was finding the right place to dine.

Aaron didnt want something expensive. He also wanted somthing satisfying.

After trying out a few mamak stalls, he finally decided that Ramlee Burgers would do best. Not only they are cheap, they are satisfying as well.

Now that he knows what he wants, he goes of to tell her his idea…

Post Chinese New Year Joy…

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Well, its back to work today after a 4 day off…quiet day at work with the boss not around…most of the staff are happy he isnt around…cos we were free to do wat we want…had a nice free lunch at Ikano courtesy of collegue…came back to office…

went ang-pow collecting at 2 staff house…haha…drinking wine and beer at 4pm is not something i normally do but since its chinese new year, why not…

uni is starting soon…cant wait for it…

oh by the way, i heard MU lost…hehehehe…

but honestly, MU played terrible…watching the second half was so boring…even Man City was boring in second half…and the chelsea - liverpool clash…i think the comments in eurosport speaks on my behalf…"if chelsea and liverpool play like this overseas, the idea of EPL games overseas will be scrapped by the 2012 season"…the most boring game ever…

happy chinese new year…

raj signing off…

Elections here we come…

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Its not the most pleasent time for me actually…personally , i dont like the diea of elections and democracy…i still think a communist way of life is better…have i gone mad? i think i have…haha…

Coming from a family with quite a huge political background, elections is going to be rush hour agian for us…in 2000, 1 uncle stood for elections…in 2004, 2 uncles…in 2008 2 uncles and 1 aunty…damn…probably in 2012 elections, i will be standing for MP as well…haha…

The Star wants to extend me because of this…they like my work and they know i do my work…but now i have to choose…I want to dedicate my last sem doing uni stuff from Costa to making films…also, need to concentrate on my studies…but on the other hand, election fever is the best experience i can get from a newsroom…what do i do?

Cambodia trip is just 5 months away…to go or not to go?…definately going but this time, i wanna be incharge of blog or be cultural director…i dun wanna be technical chief again…

Went to lunch with the boss, rosie and few other staff…the boss’s car is in a real mess…probably the most untidiest car i’ve ever seen…dun know if all media people like that…but i am getting used to this whole media thing…i love the flexible hours…although i work till late at times, its better den getting up at 7 to escape traffic for a 9am job…

valentine’s day is coming up…i dun see the purpose of why everyone gets so hyped up about it…incluyding myself…hence i told the office we should do something different…do a video on the people who wont be celebrating or give a damn about valentines day a.k.a the single people…

Im Aaron Raj and you’re reading my blog…
