a lil bit of everything

1st February 2010 (Monday)

On Sunday, I realise i havent been spending much time with myself. Work has pretty much sucked up my entire 3 months holiday and I cant bare to waste a whole day doing nothing. Everyday, I'll come up with something to look forward to. Having a plan in mind means keeping the day alive! and i would say it has been working pretty well on me. Whether it's gym after work or dinner or movie or skype or pasar malam or etc etc, it's still a plan! though some might differ.

After some weeks of doing things to keep my days alive, i missed the alone time i had with no interference, just pure spending time doing whatever i want to do, without time limit, preferably. But now it's not really the right time for it. I've got 3 weeks before heading back to melby and chinese new year is next week. my dad is worried that i wont have enough time to pack and my mom says nothing. im happy to head back to melby but also sad that it's gonna be months till i get to see my parents and sisters again. as annoying as they can be, you love your family no matter what lar, right?

Since today is a weeknight and i have only limited time left till my bed time, i really shouldnt be writing this long draggy post. but then again, i dont want work to restrict what i want to do, though it already has. and this is so contradicting.

This evening while i was on my way home, i did something that i've been wanting to do for a long long time. I super duper dislike drivers who jump the queue. you know how this is done? drive all the way to the front, go really close to a targeted vehicle, then turn on the signal indicator, and expect whoever driving the vehicle to allow you to sip into the lane, gracefully. damn i hate all of you who do that!!!! of course, i would understand if you made a mistake and have to cut the queue. but if you're really doing it on purpose, damn you! and because of people like this, traffic jams are everywhere! then there are those who cut in and out during traffic jams. whoa like you can reach your destination 1 hour earlier by doing so is it? come on, what's so great with cutting that 1 or 2 car just to get ahead for that 1 to 2 minute. seriously, most people on the road are super impatient! another thing i would like to comment on is the need for pedestrian crossing and for drivers to actually stop for them. yes i see some pedestrian crossing here and there, but tell me how many of you actually stop at that when you see someone trying to cross the road? most will only stop when the pedestrian risk his/her life to cross the road and you on the other hand try to avoid taking their lives. such case is tested and proven by myself. since i got back, i've been held/pulled at the hand twice for wanting to cross the road, as motorbikes and cars looked like they werent willing to stop. oh mind you, i was on a proper and very obvious pedestrian crossing yea. speaking of pedestrians, what is it with you guys trying to cross the road in a group?!!! one morning, i exit-ed federal highway and what welcomed me at the end of the exit was a group of people standing in the middle of the road trying to cross the road. worst of all, not everyone stopped when they saw me driving up the road. some stopped while some continue their graceful walk and others tried to run across. in the end, traumatised but the amount of people in the middle of the road, i stopped in the middle of the road and allow all of them to cross to the other side. omg why havent i seen this? or maybe just like everyone else, i was too ignorant before this. yea you may say that i berlagak, but really, a few months in melby showed me otherwise, that people do stop for pedestrians.

sometimes i wonder if it's better to have flexible rules or strict rules?

Was browsing through some blogs and came across a very interesting one. i'll be turning 23 this year. 4 years back, do i sound like this? was i so naive and immature? once, the now minor details seemed like a big detail. did i ever cry or be upset over it? i guess it's a phase that everyone goes through. but this phase may also be a phase that some people never grow out of.

my youngest sister was born in the 2000s. she says that we adults treat her like a maid because we ask her to do this and that. she too says that she's not a maid therefore she wouldnt obey our orders. what is the world becoming as parents give the best to younger generation but do they really know how to appreciate it? it's always better better better. too much better = worst worst worst?


nites!
