I Hate Bus Rides

Because I'm claustrophobic and I don't like the feeling of staying in an inescapable position. The only space is your assigned seat. Any longer than 20 minutes is a torture. This explains why I chose my accommodations freakishly near my work/study place. In Inti, Block D was the fourth nearest. In Newcastle, Lovaine was the nearest (plus I lived in the front flat). My apartment in Puchong was 10 minutes away from TOA (by KL standards, its unbelievable to have ANYTHING less than half an hour). Finally, my current firm and college is within walkable distance of 5-8 minutes. Because I have to do it everyday, and I refuse to waste my time on traveling, rinse and repeat. Bus rides to anywhere out of town is a sacrifice. A major one. Therefore Jojo should know how privileged she is that I meld my ass in the bus for 7-9 hours and risk getting molested by dodgy men.

And today I still hate bus rides more than ever. I hate it because I am reminded that there was a time I used to look forward riding the bus.

I'm Flattered

Sega came out with a video game inspired by my image.

My Weekend in KL

I'm typing this on the bus home. Trying to rush to make it in time for Hun Yee's birthday dinner! I'm so under schedule, I think I could only reach by 8?! Feels like I'm going to be killed.

The PC Fair was on this weekend. I bought an FM transmitter, a foldable table (the kind that allows you to online on the bed or maybe breakfast in bed) and a 2 GB RAM for my netbook. The up side was that items which were not sold in Ipoh were available and prices of certain things were slashed down signficantly. There was a lot of other things I really wanted to get ie: Audio Technologica headphones which were both stylish and sounded brilliant. Mebbe I'll get it at the next fair.

My thoughts about KL after leaving it for nearly a year:-

Expenditure is like living in Hong Kong or eating at the airport where they hike up prices by 3 times. In just the weekend. I used up an amount of phone credit of what I would normally last 1/2 a month. On food, I used up what would have lasted me 3 months in survival mode. As for shopping, I felt as if having RM200 in your pocket would have severely unqualified to walk into a shopping department.

I think to myself, how do people survive here when everything is so pricey and wages so little? RM2k a month or less is totally dangerous to be living here. What more those foreign workers getting as little as 700? It saddens me to see foreign workers being hired for cheap labour and working in spaces as smaller than my 4x5 bathroom for less than 1k a day especially in a grnad luxurious place like KLCC where other people would be spluging on overpriced luxuries.

As a result, I don't think I would like to go back to work in KL. It gives me a very saddening feeling.

December; The Beginning Of The End

You guys won't guess from where I'm blogging this. :P

In case, everyone's wondering why have I been missing in  action for the past few weeks, it's because the wireless connection in my office died during the period I left for Hong Kong. I getting on about fixing it because it is a huge inconvenience and my sanity is on the verge of breaking.

Anyways, speed update:-

1) Applied for art college and I got exempted for about a semester and I'm allowed to cross-attend classes between the first semester and second. So I may be able to graduate slightly faster than I expected!~ Fees hasn't been calculated out yet and I'm keeping fingers crossed. School starts on the 4th next month.

2) I'm not sure whether I'll still be working in January (coz I will be having about 8 classes per week apparently!), but in my heart, I deeply wish to continue working... To think that my income will stop after resigning is rather troubling.

3) I'm collecting my DSLR today.

4) I'm going to KL tomorrow for the weekend.

5) I'm going to KL again on the 20th Sunday for Comic Fiesta 2009 for a day trip.
