People in my country

Things written here are entirely personal opinion and observation, alright?

I find that Malaysians are not helpful and not friendly at all on a general scale (Of course, like everything, exceptions do exist)

I'll give you two scenarios, both involving directions, which partly describe what I am trying to say here.

Scenario 1:
My little brother and his girlfriend got lost in some rural area in Subang. I think it's called Kampung Melayu Subang, if I am not mistaken. Both of them didn't know how to get the hell out of there as there was no road sign at all. Ohya, they were trying to go to SS15, by the way. So they finally saw someone by the roadside. My brother wind down the window and asked,

Fai: Abang, mana Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Subang!
Fai: Oh, mana Bandar Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Bandar Subang!
Fai: SS15?
Stranger: Apa?
Fai: Tu, yang ada Inti College, Taylor's College, area tu. (through gritted teeth)
Stranger: Eh...itu bukan Subang!
Fai: Ya ke... tak apa la. Thanks for your help. (sarcastically)

When I was told about this, I was practically falling off my chair because I was laughing so hard. How can anyone be so stupid? From what my brother said, the stranger clearly is one of the residents in the rural area! He's either too dumb, or he's being unhelpful. In the end, my brother found his way out. (Took him almost an hour)

Scenario 2:
I was accompanying my sister to Mutiara Damansara to meet her customer. She didn't know the exact location of his company, and I... Well, safe to say that I am completely hopeless in directions. So, we were looking for that miserable company in Sunway Technology Park under the hot sun and we were running out of petrol soon. Imagine our situation. So, we decided to stop by the shops and ask for directions. All we got was..."I don't know"! Wait! I am not quite finished yet. He got this I-can't-be-bothered look on his face, which made my blood boil. (I am good at reading facial expression, ok? So I think I got this right) We even tried the security guards, but they gave us the wrong direction. *&^%$%^&!!!
Dammit! But we managed to find that company at last, thank god.

See what I am trying to say here? What is wrong with the people here? Sometimes when you smile at people, they just glare at you. When you are wearing something revealing, they either gape at you or stare at you disdainfully. When you fall down, they laugh and jeer. When they see someone got beaten up, robbed, etc, they watch instead of helping. Oh my god... what is going on here? Friends and readers: No offense ya. Like I mentioned earlier, there is always exception. If you are not one of those people, good for you. If you are, then... you know.

I really hope that these people would try to put themselves into other people's shoes and imagine what would they do if they get such treatments. Please, be more considerate. Have you ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed? I bet you have. So, just bear in mind that everyone has his/her bad day. So I think they could use a little sympathy, patience and consideration. Don't be so selfish!

Hi Again

I know... I deserve to be smacked. How long has it been since I deserted my blog ya...? Around 2 months, I guess. I thought of updating about the events of my life after my new year celebration...Heck, I didn't even blog about the celebration... It's just that I never got around to do it and I was lazy as well as unmotivated. Anyway, you didn't miss out much, that I can assure you. (For those who want to know about my new year celebration, you can always visit my facebook...pictures are all there)

So, what have I been doing all these while? Hmm, let me think... well, nothing much, I guess. I am just carrying on with my mundane lifestyle, like usual. There is nothing much to say about CNY celebration too, as it was nothing special. I just celebrated it like any other person, eating, drinking, watching telly and gambling with my family. I am not saying that it wasn't happy, in fact, I really did enjoy myself, spending quality time with my family. Well, that pretty much sums up my CNY - boring, isn't it?

Well, I am back to blogging state again. (I will only update this blog if there are events or thoughts worth writing about, ok?)

There is something on my mind now, actually. I always wonder, why is it so hard to keep your promises, or to tell the truth?

Is lying the best way to handle things? I really do not understand why some people just love to lie, even about small things. And if you wanna lie, make it a good one, alright? What's the point in lying to me, knowing that I would eventually find out the truth? If you wanna lie, please, do it wisely. Don't ever let me know or suspect anything, ok?

And about promises... I always believe that if you make your promise, fulfil it, unless there are reasons to explain why you can't. (Bear in mind, reasons and excuses are different)

Oh... this post is going nowhere. I just sound like an angry, whiny bitch. I am not trying to say anything... Perhaps being too free is the reason why these thoughts sprang to my mind.

I am gonna start my final semester next week! I'll try to enjoy it as much as I can...because after this semester, I am DONE with my degree! Yay!! Sorry, I should say, after this semester AND industrial internship.

I seriously hope that something, even small little things, would come along and bring changes and excitement into my life. Please...please...please...I am begging...
