F*cked Up G.!! v2

Today, I had the most terrible experience with KTM! Normally, I had to just wait for the 3rd car to come. This time, the first 3 cars were all full, packed like a sardine. I reached the station at 7:45 a.m., train reaches shortly. Full. Turned back and wait for the next train. What the heck! 15 minutes later, the 2nd train reached. Full. Sardined. Wait for next. Fuck! Another 15 minutes, 3rd car. Packed, extremely sardined. Had to wait for the next. Damn, by the time I reach my destination, I’m gonna be late! 8:45 a.m., the station was so quiet and peaceful, next train came. So roomy. Doors were kept opened for 2-3 minutes. What the hell? You had made the commuters late and you still don’t want to shut the doors and move?!? That is a very, very small station and all the people had already boarded the train. What were they waiting for? Ghosts?!!?

My 2 cents worthed.. before you ask your people to use public transport, you should first improve the public transports especially the blue and yellow one. So far, I have no problem with Putra or Star at all (touch wood, hopefully). This blue-yellow gave me a feeling like they don’t care about its customers/commuters/users. “You late, none of my business. Want to take KTM? Don’t want? Then suit yourself”. About raising the fuel price, some selfish part of me totally disagree with it but we can’t run away from the fact. As the matter of fact, the subsidies saved up might be used to improve the public transport. So, I think we just have to wait and sabar. This reminds me about a quote by one of my previous trainer, “Sabar. Sabar tak cukup, Sarawak” But I had ENOUGH!

A lot of people agrees that the G. should cut down the support (the so-called tongkat), gradually. I agree but I have a suggestion, why not cut down the other tongkat?? Know what I mean? This other tongkat has been around for soooooo many years since when? Independence? Isn’t it time to remove it and let them walk by themselves instead of guiding them till they die? No idea what I’m talking about? Send me your e-mail and I’ll explain it to you.. XD

Unconciousness

Suddenly, I'm recalculating the number of times I had fainted.. Quite a lot of times but can't remember all. There was once in Form 3, Monday morning, during assembly. Stupid headmistress was giving her speech and then suddenly everything blur and *thump* WHen I regained my conciousness, realised one or two of my classmates and a prefect were helping me up then the prefect led me to the nearby canteen. The stupid headmistress still didn't realised what had happened and continue the stupid, long-winded speech.

The second one that I remembered happened at home, Sunday afternoon. Brother was having his "breakfast-cum-lunch" in the kitchen while I was laying down on the sofa watching MTV. Got up to the kitchen to get something to eat. As I opened the fridge's door.. *thump* When I got my consciousness, I saw Brother stood up, staring at the already laying-on-the-floor me, a few seconds later, he helped me up.

The last one that I remembered.. hmm.. let me see.. at my grandparent's house at Jinjang. Was watching TV at the back living room. Parents called to go back home. Get up and while walking along the corridor, felt the things that I sees swirling around and then *thump* Dad was already in the car, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma was in front of me. They looked puzzled. Regained my consciousness, stood on my feet and walked toward the car.

To this day, I'm quite puzzled with the fact that none of my family members that saw me fainted helped me as soon as they see me fainted.. Haha XD

Then the rest I can't really remembered well..

F*cked Up G.!!

My fuel gauge's hit the bottom and I had to drive extremely slow just to get myself safely to the not-so-near Shell petrol station as I always believed this equation; "drive slow = save petrol". Not sure if this is the correct one. Anyone care to prove me wrong? Back to the topic, I actually made it to the Shell station at Seri Petaling, safely. Flashed my cards to that attendant. He forgotten to swipe my Bonuslink card and I had lifted the nozzle. Only then he told me he haven't swipe and I put back the nozzle back into place. That attendant started mumbling and keep telling me once the nozzle was lifted, must fill and cannot put it back before you 'squeeze' the petrol! What the ...?!??! My fault??? I gave you the cards but you didn't inform me while I thought you had done everything before going to the other drivers!

Well, the main point is.. I took full tank. Previously it costed me around RM75 or 80 for a full tank. Now?!?! I had to pay RM97 for a full tank and thanks to the petrol price increase! I understand the reason behind the raise. Money saved up and dumped it into improvement of public transport. So far, so many increases but I don't see any improvement on any of the public transports, facilities or amenities! That stupid KTM still always not on schedule, stations are still being built or located at those kampung place with less population instead of busy towns, buses are craps like a 1000th hand car, potholes of any size are every where, Screamyx is suck like hell, 5-days work is bullshit especially with those government sectors. I thought the working hours until 5 p.m. but these people are seen taking buses, train, driving home before the clock strike 4:30! Everything raised, water, electricity and what's next?

Today's The Star: "XXX:Adapt to higher fuel prices". Bullshit. As if we have other choices. Do we have other alternatives other that unwillingly adapt??? There was a guy called to the radio station spoke about the issue. He is definitely right about one thing and I totally agree to it. G demands from its people, we the people must also know how to demand from them. Complaint, complaint and complaint!! Make sure they improves!

Something extra. That day I accompanied my friend to B*N bank to close her bank account. This officer and the teller, I really want to go in and give both of them 2 slaps each. What the hell? Do they realise we are the customers?? Below was the conversation (as far as I remembered):
Friend: Saya nak tutup account ini *passed the bank book to that stucked up teller*
Clerk 1: Apa pasal nak tutup?
Friend: Tak guna lagi so nak tutup.
Clerk 1: Apasal tak guna lagi?
Friend: Pindah rumah, takde branch dekat rumah.
Clerk 2: Boleh guna lagi punya, tak payah tutup.
(kaypoh clerk)
Friend: Saya nak tutup account.
Clerk 1: Tutup account nak charge 5 ringgit.
Friend: Mengapa?
Clerk 1: *answer unwillingly* Procedure lahh~
Friend: *Make face*
What a stupid conversation. If it were me, the conversation would be:
Me: Tutup account.
Clerk: Apa pasal nak tutup?
Me: Nak tutup, tutup lah.
*Change to English*
Why? Cannot close account??
Because your bank is lousy lah that's why I want to close? Cannot?
Must ask for permission from you is it?
So, you wanna close for me or not? Or I need to close it myself?!
~!@#$%^&*
What the heck? We are the customers or they are?!!? What a "servant"...
