Currently listening to : Delta Goodrem - Fragile
I was really bored n stressed yesterday, so while I was in Giant Hypermarket where my sister wanted to buy a revision book, I spotted the latest issue of CLEO mag n i ended up persuading my sister to buy it. Before u say anything else, I DO NOT read CLEO every month....i think this is the first time in about a year that I picked up this magazine...what was really interesting about this issue was that it was the issue with the 50 (supposedly!!!) "Most Eligible Bachelors" in Malaysia.
I was flipping through the magazine to "cuci mata" (hey, I paid...no actually my sister paid for the mag) and to make fun of the bachelors, when I found out that some of these guys aren't even "eligible" anymore. My cousin said that one of them is a closet gay and one actually has a girlfriend. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I heard, someone who has a girlfriend isn't an "eligible" bachelor anymore now, is he? And some of these guys are pretty vain...when asked how to describe themselves, some of these guys use words like "talented" and "cute". Mind u, it's a bit weird to hear a guy to describe himself as "cute". i mean, even girls don't describe themselves as cute....and some of the things that these "hunks" are scared of made me laughed out loud....seriously, I did. One guy was scared of taking a ride on the roller-coasters (which is bad, because I adore going on roller-coasters!!!! n this guy is one of the hottest of the bachelors n my fav out of the 50!), one guy was afraid of creepy crawlies, one was afraid of commitment but this one fella came up with the best answer...he was afraid of CREDIT CARDS!!!! Weird but true....
While we're on the subject of weird things, I was reading the newspaper today n the news on the front page was pretty freaky. This guy, Mr. Joseph Chan, a general manager for some company, was killed because his head got struck by a helicopter's whirling rotor blades. That is really scary...and the paper said some reporter saw something that might have been the deceased brain (!!!) on the grass near the copter. This guy left behind a wife and a 10-year-old daughter. I pity the daughter. I mean, how would u feel knowing that your dad died because he got hit by the blades of the copter? If it was me, I would be traumatised every time I hear the sound of a helicopter. But I guess that's life...things like this do happen.
These kind of accidents make me really scared. I mean, I am a chronic klutz and I know I will fall down everytime I get out of the house. I mean, I once fell and torn my ligament in August last year....worse week of my life! I had the experience of going around in a wheelchair that day I tore my ligament n it was a very humbling experience. People literally look down on you n they sometimes look at u with pity in their eyes.And to go to the toilet....OH MY GOD!!!!!!! it was torturous!!!! My feet were hurting like hell n I wanted to cry from the pain inflicted when i want to shift from the wheelchair to the toilet seat! And the song that comes to my mind now is the song I'm listening to - Fragile by Delta Goodrem. So anyways, after that day, I have the utmost respect for people that are wheelchair-bound. I mean think about it, when we walk in a crowd, we can squeeze through people n they won't even notice, but when a person in a wheelchair tries to move through, people will give them the evil stares or the pity stares. Ok, I think i better stop talking about this before i make myself sound like some religious preacher. I guess what I'm trying to say is be grateful with what u have n that we should be a bit more considerate when we see people who are disabled.
I know this is a pretty weird entry, but whatever, it's my blog...I can talk crap n no one would care....

To Drive Or Not To Drive? That is definitely the question...
When the government announced that the price of petrol would increase by 30 cents a few weeks back, I was like, WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i didn't think it was going to affect me that much, y'know. So i got the shock of my life when I filled RM50 worth of petrol into my car and found out that the even with that amount of money, it wasn't enough for a full tank....so I started wondering, would it be better if I stopped driving to college and take the public transport instead? I kinda list down the pros n cons of both "modes of transportation" and here is what i ended up with:
Pros for Driving
~I get to drive myself around and not be dependent on my parents
~It's much easier if I was driving when it's raining...the torture of waiting for the bus to come in a thunderstorm *shudder*
~it's not crowded inside my car
~I will get a place to sit inside my car (obviously!)
~i will have to learn to control my spending
~i will gain more experience of driving on the crazy KL roads
Cons for Driving
~it consumes too much petrol
~i have to take out money for tolls
~i have to search every nook n cranny for parking space in the damn parking lot
~the probability of me hitting people or people hitting me is like super huge
~i know i'll get stuck in the stupid KL jams!!!!!
~if a flood occurs...i don't even want to think about it
~the car might die suddenly while i'm driving
~there are maniacs on the roads!!!!
Pros For Public Transportation
~Slightly cheaper than driving
~No jam on the LRT
~LRT's quite efficient
~No worries about road maniacs n accidents
Cons For Public Transportation
~although the LRT is efficient, the transit bus to get to the LRT station is soooooo unreliable!!! Once, i had to wait 40 minutes for the freaking bus!!!! and it was raining that day!!!
~my mum will take forever to pick me up from the nearest LRT station, even though the nearest LRT station is like less than 10 minutes away from the house
~even though there is no traffic jam, the amount of people on the buses and trains during peak hours going in and out is crazy!!! I want to cry sometimeshen i have to take the train during peak hours!!!!
Talking about public transportation, a lot of Malaysians are either ignorants or they are totally oblivious to their surroundings. Last week, I had to take the LRT from Bangsar to KLCC to go back because my dad took my car n i'm hitching a ride with my mum n i had to go to her office near KLCC there. My class finished about 5.30 so the train was bloody packed when I got in. Obviously i had to stand la....i don't mind standing in the train actually. So anyways, a pregnant woman came in at the KL sentral station and the poor woman had to stand because nobody offered their seats to her. The ones who were sitting down were either looking at their feet like it's the most interesting thing in the world or reading some novel/newspaper/magazine without actually looking to see if anybody (ie the pregnant lady) needs the seat. I wanted to slap their faces...i mean, the woman was obviously pregnant!!! that's not the best part...another pregnant lady came in a few stops later n this lady also had to stand up. Only at the next stop did these people realise that there were TWO pregnant women that needs to sit down and that is only because those people who were sitting on the seats had to go off at this particular station. And to think that these two women are risking their pregnancies because standing up means that they are risking falling down, which could lead to a miscarriage! And the government say "change your lifestyles! use the public transports!" Puh-leeazzzzze!!! These bigshots are all driven around in some nice, expensive cars n they don't even know the beginning of the faults of the public transports n they want us to adjust our lifestyles n use the damn public transports! let's see how they survive going on the public transports everyday!
All things said, i must say i prefer to drive rather than take the public transports everyday....the public transportation in this country is still hopeless....when they improve, who knows, maybe i will stop driving n just take the public transports everyday....till then, i guess i shall drive everyday....my dad prefers me to drive anyways...hehehe
i think that's enough ramblings for today....c ya soon

My first entry....hahaha
current mood: stressed
current song listening to: animal instinct - cranberries (old song, but i like it!)
finally, i have decided to start a blog again.....i know some people who have been nagging me to update my blogs for ages, but i kinda want to start the blog from scratch so welcome to my blog!!! hehehe....
ohhhhh, for those of you who are interested, these are the reasons why i couldn't be bothered to update my blog:
~ i was lazy
~i was busy with my exams
~i didnt know what to talk about
~i was lazy
~i just couldnt be bothered
~i got lazy
~procrastination took over me
~and finally....did i mention i got LAZY?
i know i have to get my act together now...exams are coming really soon....and i mean like less than 2 months!!! i haven't even recovered from my january a-levels exams, and now i have to get ready for my June exams!!!! And it's the finals for A-levels!!!! God, talk about crappy timings! I'm quite happy with my January results, though, especially maths...here's the lowdown on what i got for the January exams...
Econs 1 -A (didn't expect to get an A because i didn't even finish the paper!!!!)
Econs 2 - B (ok la...)
Econs 3 - A freaking D!!!! (i have to retake this in june...*sigh*)
Econs 4 - C (have to retake this also)
Math C1 - A
Math C2 - A
Math C3 - A
Math S1 - A
As u can see, i got every grade available (except for E) for my Econs papers...not too bad considering that i didn't have time to complete all of the papers!!!! i'm so happy with my maths results....it means that i have more time to concentrate on Econs 3, 4, 5 & 6...and Computing Unit 1-6.....sigh....wish me luck in my studying....but it's soooo hard to study at home!!!!!!!!!! distractions are plenty!!!!
on another note, i was in Econs class today when I overheard some of the girls talking about entering Law in the July intake...and i was like....hmmmm....exams only finishing in June and they want to go straight into Law in July....whoa, talk about looking ahead!!! and here I am, not knowing what degree to do after A-Levels, let alone what Uni to enter!!! it's kinda scary cos i'm finishing a-levels in about 2 months time and i have to make up my mind fast!!!! it's very, very, very stressing!!! i'm hoping to stay in a local private U, though, cos my parents cant afford to send me overseas....they still have my 5 younger siblings to think of!!!
About 2 weeks back, i went to watch the Formula 1 race in Sepang with my sister. We got free tickets from her friend, n we got to sit at the grandstand....however, weird person that i am, i prefer to sit at the hilllstand, cos people r more subdued at the grandstand where else at the hillstand, u can see all sorts of crazy people....and the fact that a lot of hot foreign guys going shirtless is a plus, too!!! So anyways, when we got back, we realised that we kinda got tanned, but i was like, nobody will notice...how wrong i was! People begin asking me all sorts of questions like, eh, u've gone darker ah? and where did u get that tan? n i'm like, is it very noticeable? n after looking at myself in the mirror, i was like, hmmm, i do look darker....but i kinda like it, hahaha!!! but it's just so weird how a lot of people notice that i've gone darker....i guess i was pretty fair...guess u never what u have until u lose it....i guess it's sort of a 'souvenir' from the race...haha
anyways, all this thinking about exams and unis are stressing me out...i think i better go and (try to) study now...God, i hope i can score......i'm freaking out....but i kinda like doing Unit 5 econs...UK labour market's kinda interesting....however, Computing is taking it's toll on me!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHH!!! I better go find some sugar n get high n go crazy....
hope i'll remember to post some more entries soon....
