They scam, we cry

I've never really realised how much KL is filled with people who live to cheat people until this year. Why do they do so?


For those who commonly use the LRT, they would know what I'm talking about. Once you get out of the train, eager to get to your destination, you notice some guys holding papers or fliers chasing people around asking them for donation, support (in cash of course), etc.


Then your heart starts to beat faster. You think "Crap, how do I avoid them?"


The thing is you can't. They pick the right spot to harass you, especially young, innocent looking girls. Unfortunately, I'm one of those and they did not spare me.


It's their way of talking that makes you interested and excited. You know you're not supposed to believe them but they have a way that makes you listen to them for almost half an hour and ALMOST giving them money on the spot. Don't worry, I left them empty handed that day :D

And yesterday I went to the Sri Petaling pasar malam for the first time (oooohh ooooohh ooooohh sorry I can't help it I love that song The Script FTW!) and while I was eating my dinner these 2 guys approached my table. I hate it when people come to promote their things why can't they just leave me alone! Anyways he was holding a brochure on a disabled children society and asked for donation. When I see this type of things especially unfortunate kids, I can't help but have a soft spot for them.



But my friend pushed the brochure away and when the guys went away, she said it was a scam. Sigh, another one bites the dust. This world is full of evil, scheming men. It makes you think who can you trust?

There was once at Mid Valley a lady approached me and showed me another brochure about disabled kids, again. I did not want to donate but she told me I could buy a car window sticker made by the kids. So I did, and I hope that my money was used for a good cause.

 

There's so little we can do to find out if it is really a scam or not, so the best we can do is just close one eye and hope for the best. How CAN these people even use poor innocent children as a mask behind their scams? Despicable! (me)

Anyways, this is a totally unrelated picture of me eating char kuay teow at the pasar malam. xD

Sinus and sniffles

I don't know why I am cursed with having sinus. For the rest of my life. The worst thing is it can't be cured, just prevented.


I wake up sometimes with a running, itchy nose and puffy eyes swollen to half of its original size.

The vision I have at that time is somewhat limited so I do not function well during a sinus. :(





I just want the world to leave me alone so I can go to sleep because the drowsiness kicks in and prevents me from doing much anyways. Sometimes for important things like tests or functions I struggle to stay awake and fight the mucus rolling down my nose. Curse ye nose, curse ye!!




I have to adjust my aircond so that it doesn't blow directly at me every night. But sometimes it still doesn't work and it's so bad that after a night, I wake up to find myself covered in tissues or if I even bother, in a big pile on the floor or table.



You will see me with a tissue in my hand or covering my nose most of the time.

 

And the worst thing that could happen is in lectures, or talks or anywhere with a lot of people when the room goes really quiet that you could hear a pin drop, my scumbag nose suddenly decides to feel itchy and I cannot hold it in anymore until I go aah... aHH... ACHOO!!!!



Embarrassing, I know.

What sorcery is this?

I've given my blog a new facelift as you can see! :)




Okay so my results for my first semester exams came today. It's the student's equivalent to doomsday. You either make it, or break it. NEVER get cocky because your results might come out unexpected. You just calm down the hurricane in your head, put back your heart which beat so fast right out of your body, and accept what has been decided by higher authorities.

I FREAKING PASSED!!!!! 

 

A huuuuge weight has been lifted off my shoulders because for the first time in my life I really thought I was going to fail badly for the Physiology essay exam. Heck, I even brought my books back home with me just in case I did fail and had to study for the resit! Shows how much I stressed over it.



You know every time after an exam your friends start talking about what answers they put, which is completely different from yours, and your confidence level just drops to negative infinity. I even checked the notes after the exam and found out that I bullcrapped a lot and did not add in any main points.





I was also envisioning the future where my parents were frowning upon me while paying the 500 in order to resit. The disappointment in their eyes, the shake of their head.







So my question is, what sorcery is this??
















Anyways here's Dia Frampton, my latest favourite artist! xD

Of video and road to freedom

It's been a week plus into my semester break. I've been quite productive I must say, more so than my usual rotting at home in front of the computer and TV (which I still do). LOL


I've finally gotten my actual driver's license so GOODBYE  'P' sign!!!




So what you say? What does it mean?




It means I don't have to stick the bloody P sign on my car anymore. It means I am an eligible driver, one among the thousands of Kuching drivers, as long as I am in possession of the driver's license. The card to my freedom. It's a step to growing up and being independent.

 

I can hear my friends gasping in horror. Those who know me well, of course.

Well, although it's been 2 years since the driving test, I have been in KL most of the time to pursue my studies. I don't have much practice. I may be better than a noob driver, but not as good as the average driver who drives to college or work everyday. 

And my parents don't scream at me as much as they used to when I first started out. I would drive at a speed which I think is reasonably slow, 40km/hour, and they would be like "Too fast, too fast!! Slow downnnn...!"

Are you serious?

Well they were most probably worried like most parents are when their teenager/adult holds the steering wheel for the first time. But still, 40 is not fast!



I do not like driving with my parents in the car.




Because every time I don't signal even though there clearly are no cars in sight, they would go "Why you didn't signal??" And when I am driving slowly they'll think I'm driving too fast =.= It just makes me more nervous and irritated.




Why don't I just drive at 10km/hour and jam up the whole Kuching roads???

On another note, I've made my first piano cover of Big Bang's Blue! I was too lazy to learn the other parts so I improvised on my own. Haha here you go! It's not as awesome as other covers and there are some mistakes made but enjoy :)

Creepy Facebook Strangers

Please tell me I'm not the only one.




 I've been getting weird Facebook messages from people I don't even know.





Some of them are quite creepy stalkerish but I usually just ignore them. As long as I don't add them or reply to them nothing could happen.





All of them have been from guys but I got one from a girl recently and it just freaked me out because of what she said! I swear I had goosebumps after I read that.

Became interested in you? Give you my picture? Remember the distance or colour does not matter but love matters a lot in life??

I'm speechless.....

Ok not so speechless. Does she mean that in a heterosexual or homosexual way? I really do not know and do not wish to know! Nothing against homosexuals, just that this is the first time a girl is (maybe) trying to hit on me and this is.... new.





Here's another one from Corny Guy.

You can see why I call him corny! I cringe at all the pick up lines. It's just so.... cheesy. And can we be a good friend and care for each other? You don't go around saying things like that to strangers.  Imagine you during Orientation Week of uni, being around new people and greeting them like that. That's just ODD. You'll be avoided and forever alone, seriously.



 I have some others but I'm too lazy to post it up.



These CFS (creepy facebook strangers) have one thing in common. They sound needy and desperate. I am flattered that they find me 'interesting' or 'attractive' but I don't even know them!! For all I know they could be murderers or rapists or something.






In this technology era it's so easy to communicate with unknown people from other countries. So my advice to you all is, be safe on the internet and do not believe everything you read!
