What happens when you get a strike no.3?

You’ll get a strike no.4 and 5, soon, if not immediately.

Well, today is not such a fine day…in fact, today sucks.

For starter, I walked to the KTM station in the morning after missing my breakfast, ONLY TO WATCH THE TRAIN TAKING OFF RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME~ as result, I was stuck waiting at the station for half an hour. That’s Strike no.1~

Then, already in a grumpy mood, attended the class in the morning, only to get shove in the face that apparently Interior Design is NOT as important as I think it was. What happened? Well, lecturer only remembered to take the attendance list for the Architecture students. As for ID, well, we’ll have to handwrite our name and sign on the BACK of a piece of paper. Paranoia much, but it’s quite a sensitive thing there. Truth be told, it sucks. That’s Strike no. 2~

In case my day is not bad enough, I presented my pencil holder to the lecturers, they didn’t seem to buy. That’s just my luck. I’ll learn to live with that. That’s Strike no.3~

Hell, my Strike no. 4 struck me just a few minutes later. As usual, I took the KTM home. The train is late, again! To make things worse, there’re many ( I mean MANY ) people taking the train today, to get back to their hometown. So, by the time the train is here, it’s already jammed pack inside. It’s either this, or wait for the next train that MAY or MAY NOT arrive within the hour. It’s obvious that I’m left with no options. And so, I tried to squeeze in. I did make it in, but not my laptop bag. In the horrible fear that my lappie might get jammed in between the doors, I pleaded for the people near the end of the cabin to move in further as there was obviously still plenty of room back there. And you know what? The Malay girls just smirked and move their feet an inch, A F*ckin INCH! And there I was, jammed against strangers who don’t even leave a space for me to hang on to.

Ready, here comes Strike no. 5! As if it’s not already bad enough, I have two Malay or Indo people beside me, one of which is just millimetres away from touching my cheek with his face. EEW~~~ If there is a list of “Hell on Earth”, this would definitely make the top 3. Oh, and the additional misery, the guy at the back, kept giving me the helpless look, which pretty much makes me look dubious for being stuck in the doorway.

“Hell on Earth” lasted for 20 minutes, and I literally run out of the train, swearing. I’ve never used bad words so much but I’ve exhausted my yearly bad words credit if I even do have one. After slamming my bag onto the plastic chair at the waiting area (which I made a big “bang” noise in the process), I sat there, grilled by the heat and tormenting myself as I now smelled like 5 total different people, none of which smells good. I smelled like shit!

Man, I am so pissed~ and then, I saw the sign at the counter…

Why am I NOT surprised???

Malaysia’s KTM service can seriously use SOME upgrades, this is a suffer to commute. If you drive, you get caught in traffic; if you take the train, not that it’s any better. Either way, you’ll end up with a crappy day. The train could have so much potential in saving the Earth and making life easier, but NO, it stays the same, if not worse. Are they deaf? Or they’re too caught up in traffic in their fancy little car?

5 strikes in a row, way to go!

Jarful of randomness

Lately has been a little busy, doing my own thing, but as for now, I am in the library, typing as we speak, where I was suppose to be working on my pencil holder (yeap, making little pencil holder IS my assignment) anyhow, it’s very quiet here, nicely undisturbed, so I figure why not just blog a little…

Here’s some pictures taken recently, enjoy… ^^ and oh, Happy Chinese New Year, and Happy St. Valentine’s Day too! *sweet*

1) I drive around …

Drove mum around to get some baking material and saw this decor… never knew flowers ‘growing’ on an umbrella can be so pretty… ^^

2) I eat around …

My Uncle Ricky, he’s camera-shy… =p

3) I took the KTM & LRT around …

The v-e-r-y empty LRT cabin… *lonely*Sunshines~ very comforting & warm…The KTM at the crack of dawn… beautiful, isn’t it?

4) I LOOK around …

Handmade candy @ Sticky ~B & I

5) I hang around (at home) …

It’s amazing how crystal captures sunray and reflects it… and the shadow too~

6) I learn and fool around (with AutoCAD) …

My first AutoCAD drawing, fun fun fun…My second AutoCAD drawing… *sigh* guess that’s not very ‘fun’ anymore…

-----------------------------------------------------

Anyhow, that was it, for now… oh wait, I had my valentine’s, haha.. *blush* alrights, I better get going now, tata~

Next year would be Year of for the Tiger~ So please, think about wildlife conservation, do your part. The simplest thing, bring your own bag to shop around, you don’t get to undo what you did if you don’t…

With love+hope,

Super massive black hole…

It was a Sunday night, just got my heart torn apart seeing him leave, again…well on my way back home and dad’s phone rang, neighbours said our area is having a total blackout…yeap, no electricity… Great, what else now…

The news only adds to my sorrow and yet, there’s no escape..I’ll still have to deal with it… Couple minutes later, I came up to my living neighbourhood, yeap, definitely no electricity whatsoever, because all I see was blackness. The whole neighbourhood is cover with pitch black, just like in those zombie movies.. wait, that’s not a very good example… Anyhow…

I reached at the front porch, the emergency light in the house is working, but not for long. I rushed to my room, brush my teeth before the battery runs out. As I close the toilet door, the silence hit me like a wall, I never knew silence can sound so loud, so loud until it pierces through your ears and to your heart.

I went out to the balcony and then I saw the most beautiful thing… The silver sparkle of the moon drenched the cars in gentle glow… I never notice how bright a moonlit sky can be, so bright yet so non-aggressive. Every object under the moonlight seems to be singing lullaby in their own natural rhythm and it was so calming. ALL this, would never be noticed with every household illuminating their house with artificial lighting.. It gets me wonder, how many wonders of nature have we missed when we were all too busy soaking in our man-made technology, how many such beautiful nights have slip through our fingers when we were too busy curling up in the arms of our concrete walls.

A lot, I guess.

And so, throughout the night, I lay on a stretcher out on the balcony, looking at the stars. Dad was talking with neighbours on the tarmac, laughing away in the cool night breeze.

It was such a beautiful ambience, I shall never forget. Shall never forget that I was once lying under the stars, contemplating, ‘dancing’ in my mind, talking to him on the phone, accompanied by bright half moon.

Soon, I notice I too was drenched in silver sparkle, grateful that I was a part of the night. But there’s still one thing missing…

  The moon ~ Very, very dark… If you can see the dim glow of a window, that’s my room…

Me on the balcony…contemplating life *cough*

The night ended with electricity coming back on around 12am, I was half asleep by then…what a night~

With love,

KC

His world … me in it~

I almost left out the sweetest part of my stay at M-town last time…which is a tour to Tampin Hill… He used to spend time there and this time, I get to feel what he feels in this land.

I hurt my ankle the day before the visit and so, when he wanted me to scale the wet forest floor with slippery stone, I wasn’t at the best of myself, in other word, I got grumpy… Sorry, bb.. *puppy face*

But anyhow, it was quite a journey, I get to know him better now, it felt like he has shown me a secret world of his, letting me into a part of him and I was touched…

Up the winding road… Here we are~ Such a quiet place, isn’t it? Walk down the hill, and you’ll see the cold spring, filled with fresh water…Him, his brother & dad… One of my favourites, the water is so clear, it’s almost invisible… Me taking it all in ~My favourite shots of the day…   In case you’re wondering, it’s reflection of water casted on stone…it’s beautiful, huh? Attempting to build a dam, *beavers* Boys will always be boys… Here’s their project 

Wishing I could stay in my bubble, where only people I care could get in, it’s less complicated there…just like his world…I wish i wish…

“oh Darling I wish you were here… …”

竹河访友记

Well, I went to Sungai Buluh to Ave’s on one fine Saturday. Took the LRT to Bandar Tasik Selatan, then switch to KTM for Sungai Buluh. Back, the same way. All in all, I spent a good 3 hours commuting, not really that bad, minus the being pushed, elbowed and uncomfortably close to strangers part. I actually had time to just sit there, think about whatever I want to think about. I guess that is why sometimes I kinda like taking the LRT and KTM. You don’t need to be focusing on the road as when you’re driving, all you have to do is just sit there, observe people and maybe reflect upon yourself. And so I did, something I haven’t been doing for quite a while.

I thought about how my life has turned out so far, how I can make it more alive, how many mistakes I’ve made and how I’m gonna make it right…so many thought and poof, I am there.

So, back to that day~ Ave' skip her pottery class for me that day,lol… We talked, sneaked into people’s under renovation house, eat McD and for the ultimate goal, I handed her the crime of girl’s sin… yeap, she and I bought a bag which is sent to my place, so there I was, handing her purchase in person,lol.

 

Ave’s bag That’s a rare chance to sit in the “khas” cabin, usually it’s just full.. At first, Ave and I were like “Look! It’s plants in snail shell!” but then, we realised it’s actually SEAshell… *wink* Vine on a railway log…such a beautiful combination Ave’s birthday pressie last year… Spilling with twister fries, joy joy… Got ruumz?? Sunny day~ bloody hot…I can almost smell sunburn… Now, here’s the target of our sneak-in mission… The doorway to its garden Welcome to Ave’s backyard, with own Jacuzzi & pool, kidding..

Isn’t it beautiful? The reflection of water on the ceiling, right next to the glass balcony… It amazes me how people get so rich, life on the fast lane, so to speak… I wish life was easier for everyone, but then again, life might not be worth living if it’s so simple…

Lately, school has started, and I withdrawn myself quite a lot, putting on a face just so people don’t see the real me. I miss being around my friends a lot, when it’s just so real, no faking, no drama and they’ll always be there for me when I needed them the most, unlike mates when only talks to me when they’re in need.

Cheers to life,

KC
