Indecisive

Posted in [Ramblings]

Been strumming on my guitar for the whole day, but my fingers no longer hurt anymore. I’m now struggling about whether to bring my current guitar to uni or buy a new guitar. Well, my current guitar is given to me by my uncle and it’s actually a 3/4 size guitar. Due to sentimental value reason, I’m not sure whether to buy a cheaper guitar or just bring my current guitar without bothering so much.

Life is full with decisions to make and yes, eevon, I’m indeed indecisive.

Got an unknown call on my handphone. A call from Europe today regarding the USA Green Card Permenant Resident Lottery that I once filled halfway long long time ago. Funny, why Europe? A girl named Nicole who sounded like a guest from my Toastmaster club called me. ( I almost thought is that guest who’s calling me) She called me regarding my unfinished application and whether I would like to finish it or not. She offered me some sort of package for USD 99 for registration for the next consecutive 4 years if I didn’t managed to win the lottery this year. Anyway, I didn’t managed to hear which department or company she’s from and I passed her to talk to my dad as I couldn’t make the decision whether to pay or not to pay through credit card.


I’ve won € 615,810.00

I’ve won € 615,810.00 SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND TEN EURO according to a spam that somehow managed to get passed Gmail’s Spam Filter.

Googled for it and found out that it’s actually some sort of 419 scam. How I wish it was true… Here’s a copy of it…
