Craziest shopping spree.. yet!

It was Adam's last day at Padini Concept Store & he (and dot!) was really kind to invite the cell to shop and to get extra discounts before he moves to Esprit ;) :D Matthaeus and Sonia tagged along too :) It was really fun! I've never shop in only ONE store for 4 hours in my life! :O Plus, we spent 1.2k+ altogether. A lil' too insane!

Had a lil' fun photoshoot after that :p

'ze gentlemen :)

HAPPY SHOPPERS! :D

ps. picture credits to Adam Tan :)) and thank you for everything!

After shopping, we went to Mel's to meet her new dog, Zoe!

Then we had dinner at Max's restaurant, Lohas @ KK. The food was REALLY REALLY good! :D The other cellies came to join us for Transformers after that at Mel's again :) Good good day!

Broga Hill!

The west side!

Climbing Broga Hill was tough! It was the craziest physical thing I've ever done :p It was super steep and quite slippery! Plus, DARK. We (The cell, a few young adults+PDT) started walking up at 5:30am and we reached by 6:15am. I reckon our speed was fast because some of my friends told me they took one hour and a half to reach.

2/3 of them continued climbing to the top after resting, while I took pictures of the sky and city lights. Adam and I wanted to continue climbing up but we were afraid that we will miss the sunrise so we just kept waiting and waiting. But the saddest part was, it was TOO cloudy >:( So to entertain ourselves, we had a mini photo shoot up there.

I still feel so unsatisfied! Definitely need to go back again! :D xx

So much of democracy.

I'd never fail to flip the page when I see anything regarding politics in the newspapers. I just hate it because politics is so complicated! There's so many names, so many faces, so many political party! What more, the never-ending corruption?

But (there's always a 'but' eh?), Ms. Mary, my English 101 lecturer, made us do all these crazy assignments on politics, United Nations, and anything that make (help) us be aware of the world around us. I never really question her or myself, why politics? because I just assume that she adores it as she seemed so gung-ho about the world or Malaysia, that is. But as I'm writing this, I guess she's trying to make a point. A point that is, it's not only and always about us. I realized a lot of time people (including myself) are so selfish and their only concern is about: me, myself and I. Well, its time to change that. God taught me something last two weeks ago and it hit me. Being selfish (although not intentionally) affect others and it creates misunderstandings.

Well, anyway, back to the topic. I've been reading a lot lately and I realized how much I've missed out in life or in this fast paced world. Yeah, I may know a lot of things but I don't know enough. But then again, I wouldn't know everything in this world and the statement "I don't know enough" won't stop until I die.

Malaysia accepted the Westminster system since Bapa Kemerdekaan (Father of Independence, Tunku Abdul Rahman) shouted "MERDEKA!" 7 times on the 31st of August 1957. Malaysia inherited a new independent Government based on parliamentary democracy similar to that of Britain's (Abdullah Sanusi B. Ahmad).

Democracy: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system (Dictionary.reference).

After the whole Bersih 2.0 rally, I saw that Malaysia is NOT really a democratic country. And the United Nations should just remove Malaysia as a member of Human Right Council. Why still pretend that the government actually still cares about Human Rights? It's stated in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights:

Article 5.
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
But yet the police force used excessive and unnecessary force on the people. Firing tear gas and water cannon for absolutely no reason at all. Effects? Thousands got injured, and one man died. Oh, not to forget firing tear gas into/towards/near (not exactly sure which one) Tung Shin Hospital, to err.. quote Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, "protect its patients from Bersih 2.0 protesters who had sought refuge there." Well, you know what? It doesn't make sense at all. How is firing chemicals protecting the patients? This is pretty hilarious.

Article 20.
(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
Well, apparently not in Malaysia because Bersih 2.0 is illegal. The Rakyat were peaceful, not the government though.

Article 21.
(1) Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
(2) Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
(3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.
Again, not so much in Malaysia. Dirty politics, corrupted elections, and all the rasuah (bribery). There's no transparency at all! Pretty much BS on Malaysia being a part of UNDR.

I'm definitely not saying that Malaysia should withdraw from UNDR (although I sound like it). But what I'm trying to say is that the government should do what they had signed and in a way, keep their promises (I'm not sure if promise is the right word. It's 3am in the morning).

I learnt in IPC (Interpersonal Communications) that Malaysia is a low-power-distance culture (power that is evenly distributed throughout the citizenry), which simply means, Malaysia IS a democratic country. It is a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

We the boss ;)

Malaysia, be a man, do the right thing (Russell Peters).

June.

♥

I was just wondering what date was today. &dang, time really flies! Its the 1st of July! :| Well, its past 12.

So.. June, crazy month. Assignments and test throughout the whole month, crazy mood swings, felt like a pig (blame the stress!), and the lacked of sleep-my sleeping time is screwed up.

But I still managed to balance up my life. I watched KungFu Panda 2! Woohoo! One of my favorite cartoons :p Watched it w/ Eunice & Nicky then had dinner at one of my fav diners, Ben & Nick's! Then made them go for Cell with me ;) Good good day..; Met up w/ Karling, Phoebe, Zhen Yi & Jon just 'cause I miss them; Celebrated Dad's birthday @ Damansara & Father's day @ Victoria Station; Steamboat w/ the cell; Celebrated my grandma's 94th birthday; Dinner w/ my crazy cousins @ Desa Park City; Aunt, Michelle & baby Emilia came from HK for a week; anddd... ONE MORE MONTH TILL SEM BREAK! (Ok, that was totally irrelevant)

July, more fun pleaseeeee! (though I doubt it'd happen. More assignments, test and finals in exactly one month time!)

My first police station visit.

After dinner, mom dropped me off to Strawberry Field to meet my ex-classmates and to bid farewell to Qi Wen. I got down from the car and said 'Hi' wanting to hug the girls. I took a step in front and I heard a loud bang coming from my back. It took me awhile to process where was that sound coming from. I turned back and I saw my mom coming down from the car. I ran towards her and I saw that the right side of the car was dented, scratch and the signal lights cover dropped off.

That old looking man in his 60s and his wife came down, looked at his car-the passenger door was dented in. Mom started to shout at that driver, the old man shouted back. Both arguing back and forth and both not admitting whose fault it is. My friends came over and some helped to shout back at the old man. I couldn't think straight, I was so mad but I just can't say anything back to him. Schew Ee asked me to take down his car plate number but I took out my camera and snapped everything :p His daughter in the car was pissed I guess, she mumbled something about "reporter".

The old man's car.

My brother's car.

It does looks like mom was in fault but what happen was mom drove straight and that old man, speeded and took a left turn without seeing mom's car on his left. And he blamed that mom didn't look on her right before moving out. He asked mom to pay a total of RM500 but mom said that she wouldn't pay him back and asked him to claim his own insurance. Since it can't be settled, we went to the police station.

We waited for 50minutes before it was our turn. There's only ONE traffic counter and a few general report counters. I was super pissed while waiting, pissed at the system, pissed at the old man, pissed at his wife, pissed cause we were suppose to sell my brother's car this month and pissed cause I missed the gathering.

The old man was sitting in front of us and he said, "you know ma'm, if you'd just pay me 500, you don't have to go through these". Mom replied, "I rather get a summon. I have lots of mechanic friends and I can send your car for a repair. But 500? I wouldn't pay you" He ignored mom after that.

5044, I think thats the number. We wrote a report and handed it over to the policeman. He asked me, "Do you know how to use the computer?" I said yes and he asked me to type everything for him. I laughed and in my head I thought, what a joke. After I finished typing and verifying, we met the sergeant, sergeant Roslan-a pretty nice guy. Mom told him what happened and we went to Taipan, showing him exactly how the accident happened.

It took us two hours to get everything done. Its so time consuming, the policeman asked ME to type for HIM and the system is really bad-there's only one traffic police and five at the other general cases counters doing NOTHING. The police station @ USJ in so HUGE yet it took us so long to report the case. Seriously, Malaysia Boleh.
