28 มิถุนายน Got the MyKAD!!Finally, after waiting for about one freakin' month, I got the MyKad. I had been poking around the JPN website a couple of weeks back to check the status of my MyKad. Turns out that it was ready for collection! I didn't expect it to be done so quickly but then, I paid RM110 in fines because the JPN lost my records after I first made my IC (identity card) when I turned 12. -_____-|||| Anyway, I reached the place a little early but then, because they had to have their lunch from 1:00pm - 2:00pm, the place was closed. I should have taken some photos but then, my digital camera was stolen. Oh well, it was a mad stampede to get to the counter once the doors opened at 2:00pm and it didn't occur to the JPN officers to open both double doors instead of one to prevent a stampede of sorts. -____-||| I waited for close to 45minutes to collect the card, which isn't so bad compared to me wasting about 4hrs to make the damn thing in the first place. Ok, the next thing to do is to check what's in the MyKad. Hopefully, they got most of my stuff right. *sigh* 04 มิถุนายน Congrats Dharsh!!! Well.. Not by blood anyway. ^_^ I've known Dharsh (aka Dharshie) ever since we were kids back in kindergarten and I've always known that I'll be friends with her until our hair turns white (mine turned white prematurely) and our teeth fall out... Kekeke... Anyway, 2 years back, she made the startling earth-shattering announcement that she was engaged (we didn't know she had been dating) and that she would be getting married in Jan 2005. Just last night, we had a big announcement that she was expecting her first child! Woo hoo!!! Orange juice all around!! We can't have alcohol and so, orange juice will have to suffice... Congrats Dharsh and Siva!!! P/S: If you can't figure out who Dharsh is, she's the one with the long, curly hair sitting towards the edge of the table. ^_^ 17 พฤษภาคม Things To When You Turn 18...Hehehe... This is a day any 17-year-old looks forward to... Anyway, I don't recall doing anything crazy on my 18th b'day (which happens eons ago)...
However, that doesn't stop me from starting a simple list...
Item #5 may seem a bit strange, but its best to change your IC (now known as MyKad) when you hit 18. Yea, some people don't bother to change their IC again, once they've outgrown their 12-year-old "looks". Anyway, best to do that because you can get fined for not changing your IC.
So, remember this when you have any relative, sibling or friend who is turning 18 soon. Best to change the IC so that you can avoid getting fined.

Friend #1 : "Yes, fasteerrrr pay up..." ** After forking out cash & parting ways with it... ** Me : "Wah.. I still owe you some $$-le, why you no change 1..." Friend #1 : "Neeahmind-la. You pay me next time. ^_^" Me : "Ok-la... Remind me next time." Friend #2 : "You think she can remember-ar? Macam ah-poh liao..." Friend #1 : "Oiii...!!" ** After a while... ** Friend #3 : "Then-ar... She said that if I don't smoke, my health would be ok until I'm 60.. Bla bla..." Me : "... By that time, sure you got prawbem-ma. Old liao...All the thing accumulated... Ceh.." Friend #2 : "Oh, like that-ar... Hmmm... You got ask her if you smoke-le, what's the age you get prawbem?" Friend #3 : "... Eeehhh... 47 or 48-lo.." Me : "........ " Friend #1 : "Wah, like that-ar... You die then-la. I'll make necessary arrangements then..." Friend #3 : "Ccccchhhoooooiiii!!!!!!" All : "Kekekeke...." "Beep! Beep!" Friend #1 : "....... " Me : "Apasal? Why so quiet...?" Friend #1 : "I kena bomb.... by SMS. You see-la" Me & Friend #2 : **Reads SMS** Me : "Oh!! Sure-la! You acting on her behalf to be big-ear-hole. You don't reply, sure she bomb you-la..." Friend #1 : "But, she never ask me to reply wor..." Me : ".... Aiyo! Common sense-la. Just give a quick reply that you collected-lo... What's so difficult about that? SMS Etiquette-la..." Friend #1 : "Hmmm... Waste of time-la. I lazy to reply..." Friend #2 : "Aiyooo.. Reply-la! Nanti she bomb you again." Friend #1 : "Aiyaaa... Later-la!" Friend #3 : "I'm also like that. Lazy to reply "OK" or something to SMS unless got question to answer..." Friend #1 : "Yealo.. She never ask me to reply mah, so I didn't-lo..." Me : "..... Hopeless.. Hopeless-la you two..." A few of my friends are really hopeless when it comes to communication. They may hold the most canggih phone in the market but they don't want to spend the measely RM0.05 (or in some cases free) to send a message to someone who is expecting an answer or a call. I think in no matter what technological device they have, it all boils down to etiquette. I still remember the days without the marvels of mobile phones, I used to leave a message with someone when I couldn't get hold of my friends, even though it wasn't very urgent. In some cases, I would let the person tell my friend that I called and that it wasn't urgent, just that I was looking for that person. Chances are, much later, my friend would call back. Of course, I had some of my friends who would call me at the house and did not leave their name with the person who picked up the phone. -_-" The funny part was, sometimes, they had to talk to me urgently. So, I would play the guessing game and call up each of my friends to find out who called me. Yea, it was a waste of time. Things got a lot better with the mobile phone as we could find each other usually... However, some of my friends refused to get this little piece of wonder until something happened to them and they couldn't find a payphone to call for emergency. -_-" Anyway, that's besides the point because I'm talking about communication skills and not about the wonders of the mobile phone. These days, with our mobile phones we can sms or call whenever we want. If we couldn't get that person, we could leave a voice message. However, with all of these nifty stuff, I still can't get my friends to call back. I remembered calling a friend a few times but she didn't pick up. Naturally, I stopped after 3 times and just sent her an SMS and asked her to contact me back. She didn't...... Until I called back to "yell" at her. I wonder what is so difficult for someone to return a call? It's the corteous thing to do. It's just so sad... *Sigh*  They often said that females are much better with communication than males. The funny part is... I very often get replies from guys faster than the gals.. I'd guess guys view the mobile phone as a tool while gals view it more like a jewellery or accessory. Hence, that's why you see gals decorating their phones while guys don't... And that's why gals often misplace their phones because they don't view it as a tool but an accessory to carry around. Hmmmm.... 21 มีนาคม My dog is legalFinally... My dog is legal to stay with me. What does that mean? Well, we had to get a license to keep her at home. So, we had to apply to the city council to have the right to own a dog, by paying an amount of $$$. Anyway, she now wears the license since she tends to run around the garden and should any council staff see her license, they know that she's someone's "property" and so, they can't take her away --> animal control. She sort of likes the little medalion thing. :) Here's her take of the new license. :) 18 กุมภาพันธ์ Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink...This really bites... The water pressure in the pipes are really low today. Can't really understand why the water pressure coming to the house is so low.  I knew that certain areas in the Klang Valley were affected by a water outage today for some reason or another and when I checked the list, my area wasn't affected. Anyway, another check with this site and turns out there IS a water cut. GRRRRR... Only in Bolehland that we have to endure such nonsense. We have to endure 6-12hrs "downtime" whenever a basic utility (water, electricity) faces a problem. Despite the fact that certain utilities are privatised, these companies are still run like the government, bureaucratic and in some sense absolutely inefficient. Its stuff like this that drives people away from our country. Its stuff like passing the buck to the extent that one person from the general public has decided to do a good deed by fixing up potholes on the roads, when its the job of the council/government body to do it. Only in Bolehland that you can have a beautiful mansion but then, risk having to suffer the following:
So, as I wash my hands using the pail of water drawn from the house's reservoir, I wonder, what do foreigners think about living in Bolehland...  Do they see things like we do or are they looking at Bolehland from rose-tinted glasses?21 มกราคม Gostan...Aiyooo... I can't believe that our gahmen can let certain people drive on the roads. They are a plain hazard right from the moment they sit in the car and start that engine... I encountered this strange aunty driver who decided that she could "gostan" her way out from a road back to the junction because she made a wrong turn. OMG.... *pengsan*... First of all, she was already about 10m away from the junction. Second of all, the road was bloody dark, cars are going at 150kmph and she is trying this stunt. (-_-)" I was stuck behind her for a few agonizing minutes while I try to squeeze my way back to the right lane. All the other cars didn't give me a bloody chance.. (Bloody idiot MFers...) This lady, being impatient decided to gostan anyway. ** BLARE HON ** She finally stopped her car. I finally managed to squeeze through to get on my way. *phew*!! This is not the first time I've seen such a stunt. There were plenty of times when I was on certain highways and cars who have "accidently" gone up a bridge or ramp decided to gostan balik to junction/beginning of bridge. (-_-)" These people are just plain 'ol selfish MFer idiots who don't give a damn about the danger they cause others and themselves. *Sigh*.. I don't know which instructor taught them this but its plain common sense-la. If you're lost, you find a proper place to stop before continuing on-la... Don't try to be a hero and just gostan balik to point where you made the mistake... I've made a few stupid turns while getting to places from time to time but I've never done or attempt to try a stunt like this. There was one time, because our gahmen was trying to save $$ decided to turn off all the streetlamps on this particular highway that I missed 2 turn-offs to get to my destination. But, I continued on, looking for a way out. Hehe... I think this lady went to a school where the instructor told her, "If you lost-ke or salah-jalan, henti the car & gostan..." *Sigh*... All I can say is, Malaysian Driver Boleh. P/S: Gostan means "to put the car in reverse". |
It's so weird that something so important such as keeping records about you existing on this earth or leaving it is not done using any other language such as English, Mandarin or Tamil...
