the one, the done and the tonne

Dear Blog,

Long time no see!

Anyway, I haven't blogged in awhile due to the tenat-ness that is my internet connection at Tanjung Karang.

Yup, that's right people! I'm currently posted in Tanjung Karang for my community medicine (JKM).

What's cool about it?

• It's like a friggin' 8-week vacation from all those wards and scary doctors down in PPUKM.
• There's air-cond in EVERY room!
• I'm getting to know alotta other students in the same posting (eratkan silaturrahim)

What's not cool about it?

• It's H1N1 endemic there, with 1 previous death and many, many confirmed cases.
• 6 (and counting) of my coursemates there have been sent home for quarantine
• There's a terrible haze going on (all around M'sia actually)
• Lectures are boring (spend my time sleeping a lot)

I won't be blogging much from now on. Writer's block. So, enjoy your lives people! Take care, bye!

Dear Blog,

Going to and fro between UKM and Subang was annoying tonight.

JPJ and the damn Police made a road block after a round-a-bout and congested the road by turning a 4 laned road into a 1 laned road. How POed did I get? Very.

Here's another one.

As I was driving at a speed of 40-60km/h at that narrow road of Jalan Yaacob Latif where it's packed with parked cars at the side and middle - thanks to Downtown Cheras, I suddenly had Baby K's ABS put to test. Why?

Because this irrational mother of two suddenly crossed the road without even looking left and right. She and her 2 kids just came out of nowhere between parked cars and ran across the street, whilst I was accelerating.

Like holy crap! What if I wasn't looking up ahead? What if...my brakes weren't working? What if one of her kids tripped on some rock and fell? My many "What if's" cannot be any excuse for a mother to act so irresponsible and put her children in danger incase anything did happen. But, Alhamdulillah nothing did. The best part is, she left her daughter behind chasing after her and was half lifting, half pulling her son with her left hand. That was the side where I was coming from. To me, that seemed silly for if anything happened, the son would be the first to go.

Haihh. So stupid.
