Busy busy bumble bee

My weekend was mad! I was so busy that I hardly had time to check my emails or go online.

Yesterday was Rotaract Club of KB's 25th Installation Night. We had only 7 of us to organise the event so it was darn tiring. I didn't even have my breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday. But, it was worth it cos the installation went on well. I'm glad it was a success. Mom was very lucky to get the Grand Prize in Lingo Draw and she was also the champ for our karaoke competition. :)

Organising this event has taught my many valuable lessons. I've learnt that organising an installation is not at all an easy job, especially there are only 7 of us in the club. Thank god, some ex-rotaractors also have came along to lend a helping hand. I've also learnt that running around on a pair of 2 inches high heels is not fun. I'm not gonna be on high heels at all for today and tomorrow.

Victor Wong, or better known as Ʒ�� was in KB on Friday night. Calvin and I went together. We didn't really enjoy the concert. Boring. I thought Power Station's was much more better although they were 1 hour late. JJ's coming over on Tues night. I hope the show will be better than Victor's. :)

Cheapskates in KFC

I was at KFC with my sis last night. While waiting for her to come out from the washroom, I was looking around, seeing if there are any leng chai around. ;)

I saw this Indian family having dinner. On every table, there are 2 bottles of chilli sauce. But I saw the son turned around and took another bottle of chilli sauce from the counter. Weird, I thought. The 2 bottles of chilli sauce weren't empty at all.. why did they take another bottle? Then the son and daughter started sitting close together, as if trying to hide something. I continued kepo-ing. After some time, they left. I looked at the table, only 2 bottles of chilli sauce left. What happened to the 3rd bottle?

I saw the girl trying to close her backpack. hehehe.. the third bottle of chilli sauce must be in her bag..

Cheapskates, I thought...

Racist traffic police

I am irritated with the attitude of Malaysian traffic police.

This morning, I sent mom to the market. As there wasn't any parking, mom got down first while I waited for parking. While waiting, a traffic police blew the whistle at me, signalling me to move on. So I moved but I had to stop as there was a red car in front of me which was trying to park on the opposite side of the road. So I had to stop again. The police man blew the whistle at me again. When I wanted to move on, a trishaw man pointed at me telling me to move as I was blocking the main gate. So I went backwards. But this time, that police man came from behind, gave me a long honk. I wind down the window and he shouted at me: Sudah 3 kali, Jalan! I tried to explain the situation, so I said, Buke, encik. (No, Sir) But bloody hell, he shouted at me JALAN! JALAN!' I had no choice but to move on. He actually followed me from behind so I won't go back to the market again.

Damn it! There were so many people waiting to park their cars, why on earth did he need to pick on me? Just because I'm a chinese is it? Damn him! Besides, there were so many drivers did illegal parking. Why didn't he summon them? All he did was shoo me away in a damn rude manner.

Malaysians live in harmony without any racism. BULLSHIT! total bullshit!

I'll never respect traffic police anymore. I have zero respect for them. Racists!

LDR

Long Distance Relationship.

I guess I'm slowly getting used to it. The first week was bad, seriously bad. I couldn't bear not seeing him for 4 days. I had the urge to drive up just to see him because I was missing him badly. I've been telling myself to treasure the every single second I have with him because we'll be apart in September, and this time, it'll be a long, long time. Until I leave for UK, we only have weekends together. And my parents will be back tomorrow. There goes my freedom. No more seeing him till midnights. No more going out with him as and when I want. Sigh... Should I blame fate? They say everything happens for a reason. I have yet to see the reason as to why our relationship is a long distance one. Perhaps one day.. perhaps in my dream.. I'll find out the reason.

I never thought I can get that serious in this relationship. Every little thing that he does touches my heart. He makes me feel loved. He cares for me.

I should really start training myself to get used to it. It'll be fine...

RM10

A few weeks ago, I topped up petrol at a Petronas near my house. A full tank cost RM98.50. So, I gave RM100.

RM100-RM98.50 = RM1.50 Right? My math ain't that bad. But then, I received RM10.50. Weird. I calculated again. The change should be RM1.50, but why on earth did he give me RM10.50? So I told him, 'Sayo tak dok cucur smile ya' (I don't have a change of RM9) He looked t me, puzzled. So I explained to him and he realised he gave me extra change. I returned him that RM10 and he gave me RM1. I drove off.

Then this morning, I went to the same petrol station again. This time, a new worker attended to me. This time, it cost me RM92. I took out Rm100 and gave it to her. I drove off after my brother took the change. Before I left the petrol station, bro said.. RM18 change, right? I said.. No no no!! It should be RM8. I turned back and called that girl. Explained to her. She calculated using her fingers, and realised her mistake. She thanked me profusely.. I drove off.. amused.

heh.

Updates.. updates

Haven't been updating for quite some time. Not that I'm busy.. it's just that I'm way too impatitent to be on dial up.

Anyways, I figured it's high time for me to post something on my blog before I forget that I actually blog! :P

My island trip has to be cancelled!!! Original schedule was to leave on 29th August and come back on 31st August but then.. 30th August is the 15th Day of July in the chinese calendar, also known as hungry ghost festival. My parents are not exactly very please to hear that I'll be in pulau on that day. Since I'm flying off on Sept 11th, I reckon I better not risk my life being on an island on Hungry Ghost Festival :P

Calvin took me out last night.. After our yam char session, we went round town. I can't believe how sui we were. We were stopped by a policeman who set up a road block! Damn it! I don't mind being stopped by the policeman since we didn't break any rules.. but I have a problem with the attitude of the policeman. He was so damn rude to us. Can't he use something more polite and speak to us softly? The way he questioned us was as if he was interrogating a criminal! Damn him. Urgh!

No more trips to Golok, South Thailand in the near future. Sob sob.. I still haven't gotten my dose of pedicure and manicure, and also Sweedish Oil Massage!! Just as thing was starting to look good, the bombings had to start. Gee... I really pitty those who are doing business in Golok. Mom brought me there shortly before the recent bombings and the whole town was so quiet! I'm just hoping for the best now.. Maybe another trip there before I leave for UK? ;)

Anyway, I gotta run now.. my friends and I are having a gathering soon but I have yet to change.

I'll blog again..

Tara~
