Optimism or Naivety?

Just when I thought I would, once again, miss this month's BR; I didn't. Lol, that sentence does not flow.

Never mind. The brilliant me remembered that my mom and bro were out today, and would be back in evening; so I called my bro to pick up a pint of handpacked ice-cream on their way home.

Muahahahaha~ Muahahahaha~

I've missed so many months of BR, really delighted I get to taste some this month hehe. I am yet to try the New Zealand Natural ice-cream which goes on a 30% discount on every 30th. Hah, must try, must try.

One day when I am financially independent, I'll stock up 1/2 a gallon of BR on every 31st. That 1/2 a gallon would last for probably a month; then when BR runs out, I'll stock up on some NZN for me to last until the next BR Day. Ooh, flawless plan!

Ah, that's all. It appears to be a trend for me to post on 31st, either complaining I have missed BR or recording how happy I am to not miss BR :D

What's your flavor?

Happy Halloween. Bye.

Oh, so envy, but it is not something I can control.

When arriving KL Central in a vehicle other than bus, I have a high tendency of knocking my head on the handle-thinge.

Vehicle: Van
When: Last week
Knock head: Positive

Vehicle: Kevin's car
When: Today
Knock head: Positive

I just went "phokk" on the handle-thinge, and I hit hard wtf. Like "phokk!!". Nvm, I'm not dead. I'm not dead. I'm not dead.. yet.

Reciprocal act, 正所谓投桃报李, I give you, you give me. I nice to you, you nice to me.
In essence, karma; what comes around goes around.
So yea, I noticed when one stop commenting on another's blog, another would stop commenting on one's blog. Lol. Nowadays, I tend to not comment, because I am naturally a conversation killer. I tend to comment statement-style comment, instead of conversational-style comment; meaning, it's like I comment things to shut people up, literally.
Take for posting in forums as example, I have a high likelihood of killing threads (threads are like topics just in case you're unfamiliar with the term); meaning after I post something, that thread would die off or at least go inactive for a long while -_-

Similarly, whenever I comment in blogs, it's like I comment for the sake of commenting, to let you know I am reading your blog. As a result, that comment has absolutely no ability to generate further conversation or interest; it's merely a statement. So instead, I choose not to :D

Then I thought, I should just remove the Cbox and the Comment function altogether; then people (if any) won't feel obliged or obligated (I can't differentiate between these two terms, so yea) to leave a comment. Brilliant right? Since in the first place I don't record the amount of readers or whatsoever, and I do not rely on clicks, traffic or whatnot to earn income from ads company. Furthermore, I tend to write for myself to read only lol.

Seems to be a plausible action to me.

On second thought, it's a bit sad talking to myself or the wall ALL THE TIME. I probably couldn't tahan that all the time. So yea, Cbox and Comment stay for the win.

I think I was being an ass today, I didn't mean to fondle my ******* when a lady came to promote about her campaign on ******c**cer. I understand the severity of the matter; so yea, didn't mean to be an ass. Just typing out to relief myself, I probably can't even remember how she looks like @_@

Bye.

People take things for granted, that, is a guarantee. More often than not, we hear people saying how we would only learn to appreciate something after we've lost it.

So so true. But again, truth be told, does anyone EVER learn to NOT take things for granted? I mean, how do you NOT take things for granted? How much and how deep of appreciation can you show to show that you are, in fact, NOT taking things for granted?

Having said that, I just wanna point out that, I think people will never learn to appreciate until they truly really completely lost something. Because the idea of appreciation is so different when applying to something one has, and something one lost. Is this confusing? Haha.

An example,

My computer broke down and died'ed just now, at that moment, I felt really lost and hopeless without it! That was when I come to think about the days I used it, oh so smoothly, so happily; and don't I just wish that it'll be back, be it's old condition again. Functioning.
Well then, obviously I have it fixed and now it's running normally again. Hope it can tahan long enough X_X
After that, like now, I realize that I don't "appreciate" my computer anymore cause it's functioning back again. You know, it's just a different sensation la.

That being said, if you still don't get it, then too bad la :P

That again, being said, even if you can't appreciate appreciate per se (it's not a typo), just try to be nice and good comfortably while adhering to your own limitations and boundaries. Meaning, just be your best at most times without giving up yourself, in anything and everything you do, may it be relationships or responsibilities and whatnot; then I believe, you will have no regrets.

With that, may everyone who stumble upon this post be lighten in this coming festival of lights. Happy Deepavali :D

I took 2 hours to reach home today; it wasn't all bad, that 2 hours actually include a dinner alone at KL Central's McDonald's. Lol.

I know that you know that the public transport in our country isn't the most efficient (if at all); I waited approximately 45 minutes for the bus and to no avail, it didn't turn up.

Then how I got home? Hah, this is something I wanna share :D

I don't know if you know that there are special van services provided in the bus stop along Jalan Dungun. The very same bus stop in which one can wait for the U82 bus. Apparently, these special van services are quite popular among the working people in that area; while popular among the working adults, we students can actually take them too! I boarded one just now hehe, my second time.

The reasons why they are popular (I chatted with an aunty in the van lol, I'm coming to this later...):
- they are WAAAY frequent than the U82 buses; in the 45 mins I waited, there were at least 10 vans. You can argue that vans are way smaller than buses, therefore picking lesser passengers at a time. Truth be told, in the 45 mins I observed, the vans easily picked up close to 100 people with about 10 people per trip per van.
- they are more comfortable than the buses, no need to tuna-cram or tuna-stuck. There is NO WAY you can argue about this, comfortable seats > tuna cans. Period.
- they are cheaper, cost RM1.80 per ride; you can argue that it's more expensive in the long run if you were to have the U82 bus ticket earlier (which entitles one to ride on all "U" buses whole day for a RM2 ticket) but I did not take the U82 prior to this, so yea, pretty reasonable priced!

There you go, my analysis on the special van services :D
Just sharing, just in case students are not aware they could make use of this to save loads of time. If I wasn't so stubborn, I would have boarded an earlier van and saved tonnes of time!
Well, they appear to be very suspiciously fishy at first (imagine being kidnapped and sold to some country -_-); I am still pretty much amazed how I could be so brave to board on it the first time (weeks back...).
If given the opportunity, I'll just hop on to the vans the next time I need to get an U82 bus. Lol!

Next part, about the chatting-with-aunty-in-van part; I realized that people are generally kinda nice if you're nice to them. Kinda like a reciprocal act.. Well, I admit it is much dependent on who you talk to too lol.
Maybe I was lucky today, and managed to bump into all nice people:
- a nice Malay kakak who told me about the van's fare; I know the amount though, just wanna double check heh.
- a friendly Chinese aunty who chatted in the van with me; about public transports and tertiary education lol!
- a weirded (weirded because she had the wtf look when I approached her, nevertheless still nice lah) Indian aunty who showed me the way to KL Central, the van stopped at some unknown side/part of KL Central, so I had to walk like 1 minute to the station!

Wah, one shot three encounters with all three races in Malaysia! I think people generally do not like nor dislike people in general, pretty neutral. And if you're nice to people, it only makes sense for people to be nice to you. There are, however, some people who are just asses. Yes, asses, they probably came out the wrong way during the give birth process. Lol, j/k.

This, reminded me of some asses we met today at Setapak, some foul-mouthed uncivilised UTAR students. Okay, we were probably at the wrong side, blocking the road; but hor, there was certainly no need to curse us until like their mothers are more expensive than our mothers! Well, you get the drill, everyone's mothers were brought up, combination of private parts and adjectives... and stuff.
They were honking like mad cow too, freaked the daylight out of Kong and I ler! Thank goodness Yeo was there, hehe; thank you Yeo :P

There you go, my lengthy wordy daily encounters! I suddenly felt very inspired to type a lot lol; see, one can learn a lot in daily lives if one just pay enough attention :)

Thank you for reading :D
