First time back in the study mode after a quite long snooze.
Okay, where to begin? Let's start off with my final year project. What seem to be hard became an extremely impossible task or feat to be done in such duration. Having to make a flash application which uses 3d max video sounds novice in the world today, but my idea was new to Malaysia. The fact still stands - it was not impressive enough. The correspondent officer from Northumbria U (Sir Ian Bradley) was a nice bloke who told me that the markers that will be basing my project on is not on creativity, but technicality.
Ergo, I have to use lots of technical what-cha-ma-call-doohicky to impress them so I proposed incorporating the use of an external DB for the building information and making the offline application workable online (LAN, WAN, internet, whatever it's network). Wow, I just lost another screw from my head =/
Cutting down on games come automatically because my laptop is rejecting as many games as possible. CabalSEA is officially cleared once more because my lappie just 'threw up' the game, giving me constant BSODs and tons of 'medicated' reformatting. Ever since the introduction of Gameguard, CabalSEA has gone down hill and yes, I'm so not touching that game. It's a shame really, a good game in the wrong hands spells D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R.
Still, the only sane and sound thought that keeps me alive is knowing that when all of this is over, I'm going to go out there and do what I want - a junior copywriter and climbing my way up as a art director (some day), it's a long process, but I know that is something I'll give my all.
I am seriously at ends with my country. I know, this may be another nonsensical rant but what can I say, our country is full of PHAIL.
Saman is still a thing people dread to see and yes, I actually threw away the first saman issued to me because yeah, I just despise the mere look of it. It's not that I hate being saman-ed (however you spell it in the mixed language context), but knowing who that saman came from pisses me off instead.
I don't think I need to clarify how much corruption that goes on in our so called law enforcers in blue, Namwee did a fine job telling the people around the world in Youtube already how much shit they are. I'm sure within the police force there are some noble people doing their job, but I'm only associating this post to those idiots who succumb to temptation.
Actually, we have to look at what the root problem is and what causes them to be like that. A quick search through news archive shows that an average pay each officers get per month is between RM180 to RM300(source: BBC News). What the ...? Wow, that completely opened up my eyes! Okay, I'm feeling a little guilty now that I'm pinning the blames on them when actually the government is not paying them well. Those people bust their asses and put their lives on the line day after day to keep our country safe for that amount of pay? You've got to be kidding me. No wonder they lack enthusiasm to do carry out their duties. What happened to all the taxes this citizen has paid to the government went to?
Honestly, we all pay taxes and we are thinking where are they going to. The cops aren't getting paid enough, vandalism on public ammenities are usually or never fixed and more over, what is the fate of this country going to be like, 5 years from now?
Okay, let us get back to my story. See, my mom went down to MBPJ to pay the saman that I had 'neglected' to acknowledge at the sum of RM50 (or was it RM100). I paid for it with my own allowance of course as it is my fault after all. She then came to me today telling me that I had an 'extra' saman that I have failed to 'acknowledge'. What the fuck? I know I've only been issued with a saman once and I would have been more careful after that but another saman? Where? When?
She told me it had happened somewhere in June last year and that it was at PJU a.k.a. Kota Damansara. I don't recall having or being saman there and moreover, the only thing I recalled was a minor accident I had with another car but it was resolved there and then but a saman? From out of the blue? Nice going Malaysia, you handled yourself well.
Then, I started to recall a possible outcome to this. The parking system in PJU was a little screwed up. Their machines to accept coins were, in the nicest way to put it - obsolete. See, I do take part time jobs at that place and having the working hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. roughly, which is 7 hours of parking time. The machine only accepted my coins till 4 p.m. that day, for some reason it just blocked its coin-inserting pussy and I have to deal with that. Also, by the time you get to work, had lunch and continued work you could have forgotten about paying the extra hours because we're doing our work no less but if that isn't a convincing reason, here's a business man's point of view - why pay that extra 60 cents when you could be working 4.50 bucks per hour extra? My employers don't charge by the hour but yeah, I think it's much better to focus on my work than rushing down to my car, pay again and maybe the machine won't fuck itself too much and open its pussy to accept coins to pay for the parking fee.
Uh, yeah this is a rant about stupidity in machines and the government, but like I said, my voice will never be heard. I'm just another person among this faceless crowd known as Satu Malaysia, pfft. Given the rightful chance, I'll pack my bags and head out of this shit hole country.
"You tak suka, you kluar"
Nice attitude by the parliament and thanks to your fine examplary, the comments for that video is also seriously fucked up. Nation unity? More like Nation unruly. Think it over people at the higher ups of Malaysia, think carefully. If you want to drive us out, don't come begging to us if your economy falls to the slums, got it?
