What they teach on TV about washing all the stuff, changing water etc are not practical. How many of us can keep on washing our flower pots and vases every other day? People simply don’t bother. There are better things to do with our time. We go shopping, eat, sleep, watch TV the whole day etc.

Some people leave it to their maids for all the house work. How many of us can say that their maids are 100% reliable? My maid has been with us for more than 1 year. She has conveniently forgotten how to do a lot of housework around the house and constantly needs scoldings or reminders.

Anyway, we do have drugs to help keep Aedes mosquitoes away. It’s called Abate. All we need to do is put some in the water and it can lasts up to weeks.

The major problem why we still have many dengue fever cases is people are not aware of this drug. Most of the time I get Abate from pharmacies but the stock is so limited. Almost everytime when I ask the attendant/sales people in a pharmacy, they have no idea what I’m talking about.

Now you see why our government campaign fail big time? People don’t know anything about this drug, not even the people who are selling it. It is a shame that dengue cases still happen in areas populated by highly educated people in Subang and PJ.

Last weekend I found a better place to get the drug and at a cheaper price too. It is available in Tesco. It’s placed at the aisle where we can find insect repellent/sprays.

So start using it if you can’t do the washing and changing water everyday thing.

To be honest, I am a good driver on the road. I always drive in my lane, keep a safe distance, keep to the speed limit, put on the indicator before turning, give way to others, turn on my lights etc. What I don’t understand is why are there so many morons on our roads?

Everyday without fail I see cars speeding like they’re rushing to deliver a baby at the hospital. Just recently a pregnant woman died in a car accident while her husband was rushing her to the hospital for delivery. Mother and baby both died. This is not some joke! With that kind of driving, more people will some day land in hospital, honestly!! I hope they do not cause harm to others that is!

Anyway, if we plan our journey and allow enough time to get to our destinations, there is no need to rush at all. Why not take a leisurely drive? Whenever I see people rushing, I will always say aloud in the car “If you are going to be late, wake up early, #$%^^%.”

Yesterday evening I had the worse encounter when stuck in traffic. Cars in front of the lane already moved and this Proton Waja remained stationery. There was a Proton Wira in front of me. I’m not sure if the Wira driver sounded the horn or not, but I did. Instead of moving, the Waja was going backwards. There was no reverse light, but the car kept going backwards then stopped, then backwards again then stop. This Wira driver, instead of sounding the horn, he reversed his car towards my car. Naturally I had to work on my honking skills more. Damn!!

After 5 minutes and 3 reverses of the Wira in front of me, then the Waja started to move forward. What stupidity is this? Was the driver sleeping? What was the driver doing? There was nothing wrong with the car cause it moved fast and cut into the emergency lane, joining the lane of kiasu/kiasi drivers who think they can move faster by using the emergency lane at the expense of others.

Moronic drivers beware. You may not hear me cursing but I am and I’m pretty sure others like me also do the same. If you think being cursed at is something good, I hope you pray more to redeem your sins.

We should never ever use the road by endangering other road users.

Honestly, why do people keep going to shopping malls? Why do they want to come before opening hours? People are trying to do their work before opening for business, we do not want shoppers around if possible. The air conditioning aren’t fully cooling down the place even.

There is much more to do than going to shopping malls. Stop feeding “buy buy buy” and “spend spend spend” mentality to the younger generation. It is of no substance and empties the soul. I guess most adults don’t get it because they’re into this themselves. Children are merely following their parents.

To the parents, if you’re taking leave to spend time with your children, spend it by doing something at home, go for a short road trip, visit some places etc. Don’t use the time for your own shopping needs.

Damn, I must get out of a job related to shopping malls.

I did a calculation based on my current financial situation. If I do not work extra, it is almost impossible for me to sustain my lifestyle.

Well what is my lifestyle? I don’t wine & dine, I do not own any branded handbags or shoes, I don’t go for facials or spa and I hardly go on holiday. Soon, I’ll need to change my car and pay more.

Yet, I am putting my money on insurance and retirement plan. I know I’m taking care of myself before I hit the old age. But to continue living like this is depressing.

So what is the short term solution?

Continue working extra and find a job which pays me better.

The moment I get that call from KLCC, I’m gonna visit the towers and close my current account. Just one phone call.

1. Total silence in office. Talking less than 10 sentences a day to anyone.

Remark : If I can leave this job I will. On the other hand I also cannot stand colleagues who brag and chit chat on the phone all day long. Especially women who like to talk about what their bfs or husbands do etc. “I want to go travel”, “ask your bf to buy ticket for you lah”, “dunno where to go”, “last night I went….” etc.

Having facebook alone is bad enough. I see these women without having to actually face them. So I cannot imagine having people like that in the office.

2. Go home to total silence again, but I hear my mother’s scream in my head.

Remark : The home is also a silence place with no one to talk to most of the time. But then, I can almost always hear my mother screaming at my dad. I am traumatized by the whole thing and I hear her in my head.

I need to have my own home, a loving home.

3. Unable to feel love.

Remark : I don’t know what and how people love each other. When I say my bf doesn’t love me, he becomes angry but in reality I don’t feel loved. I feel abandoned most of the days. Even when he is with me, I cannot feel that we are being anywhere close. Eat, TV, Movies and nothing else. Hardly have a heart to heart talk and no discussion about future.

I need to feel love. I feel like giving up. Someone please tell me this is not love, a guy who truly treasures the girl is not like that. Isn’t love suppose be sweet, loving, dependable and makes one feel secured.

There are so many photos I haven’t got time to share. Hope I will find some time soon to post some nice pictures here and on my FB page.

It’s raining quite heavily right now. There is going to be traffic jam later for sure.

I wonder when will I get a phone call from the company which shortlisted me? From what I read in forum, they are a bit slow and I wonder how slow?

It is about time I move on to a place where I can be involved in using new stuff, better benefits, better opportunities, freedom to act and implement with flexibility. Right now, I can’t even purchase a pendrive or external HDD for work. How? I use my own because it is necessary in order to get work done.

No wild animals should be treated like human babies. They have to be introduced to their nature by cutting down human contact as they grow.

It is cruelty what these zoo keepers are doing to the young cub.

As an individual I am OK. Being at home 7 days a week, 365 days a year is suffocating for me. I know it is bad for me to say this. But I am doing my best all the time, trying to accommodate my parents and sibling living under the same roof. However, the constant noise and stress created by my parents and the maid is driving me nuts.

My solution to solving problem is simple. Just get rid of what is causing all this bad vibes. It doesn’t work in this situation. Either I get rid of the maid and do all the work by myself, or I get myself out of the house.

How many people still live at home at my age? I think I have done a lot for the family considering I have given up a lot of “enjoy myself time” for the most important part of my life as a young person.

This month has been crazy. I was in Cameron Highlands last week and this Wednesday I am flying off to Yogyakarta.

Cameron Highlands is awesome. I love BOH at Sg Palas. I wish I can live there, minus all the flies.

I’m looking forward to visit Borobudur now.

All I want is to go back to a peaceful home each day, go to holidays with a happy heart, go after my dreams without anyone holding me back.

We must give thanks and be grateful for everything that takes place.

Yesterday I wished that it didn’t rain in the evening so I could return some books and get Bak Kut Teh for dinner. 

True enough it didn’t rain. There was a bit of jam on the road but it was not serious. I got to the library before it closes. After that I got Bak Kut Teh and shared dinner with my bf.

When I got home, it was later than usual. I had to water all the plants around the house and put the laundry to wash. I also realised I left a book in the living room. That means I have to go to the library again.

Minor stuff, no harm. I guess my LOA thing worked out… for most of it, I am grateful and happy.

Nothing major at work.

I’m bringing in some nice stuff from China. Waiting for air freight to be out next Friday. Stay tune for the lovely things, I intend to sell them all.

Of course I can keep them if nobody wants to buy. They are just nice stuff I have chosen based on my own likings.
