There's Still Some Soul Out There

Something happened yesterday which i think if definitely worthy of being posted right here:

No, its not my bruised leg from Muay Thai, it was something else. I was limping home in the drizzly rain, listening to the Muttons on 987fm. Well, just when i thought i was just a pathetic lame soul trying to make his way home, someone approached me and said ," Are you okay? Do you need help? What happened? "

The few words, thought may seem trivial to u, it meant a lot to me. That was a guy and i bet he's not local. Even though he did not offer to shelter me with his umbrella, those few words of concern definitely warmed the inside despite the chilly rain.

Where are all the good souls in the world? They will surface when there's u least expect them to.

Flashback : JB trip

NEWS HEADLINE:

Malaysia's 'worst in the world' taxis tarnish national image

"The ads promoting "Malaysia: Truly Asia" aim to welcome visitors with a warm smile to a prosperous and modern nation, so the taxi fleet branded "the worst in the world" can come as a bit of a shock."

I wasn't really shocked upon reading this piece of news. I've heard really bad stuff about malaysian cabs. But to think back on our recent JB trip, we were quite lucky not to have encountered any of them. Maybe it was due to the very pathetic knowledge of the malay language that i have that the cabbies dare not play play with us.

Comparing to cabs in Singapore, i must say we are darn lucky. One thing to try when your in malaysia : Ask for the cabby to run on meter, and not on a flat rate. Try it, i dare you.

Ordeal's End

Hell week is finally over. This week was certainly the worst week ever in my university life. GOSH. So tiring and the weather's a bitch. Seriously. So much happened this week, ST1131 test, PC2132 test, SEP application. Practically rushing to do everything together. It wasn't fun really. I think i screwed up my CM test. Being a bit sick the night before certainly killed off all hopes of at least a decent pass. Good thing is that, i do not need to go school tomorrow to complete my SEP application. Everything's done today and its great. Looking forward to Super Import Nights 2008 at Expo tomorrow. Good chance to try out my 70-300mm and also fotografi skills. Stilll have a lot to learn. Anyway, thanks to Shida, mario for helping me with my SEP application. Cant say more than thanks!

Muay Thai this week was fun, learnt some kicks. Kicked too much and i think i over-strained my back and also my feet. A bit stupid but yeah, that's life. And then... met with some 2t32 friends today. Din stay for too long though. Hope they had fun
