Living with troublesome people

Hi, guys. It's been a long time since I've posted anything because I've been busy with my university life. It's been hard to adjust to living and study in another country.

Sometimes, I ask myself why I've landed together with this band of people all with some kind of problems.

A: Hard-working but cannot get along with everybody without looking at benefits and an arrogant bitch. If she helped you then she wants something back.
B: A person that's very nice to you upfront but really dislike you deep inside.
C: A self-centered person who only care about you a lot when she's in a rough patch but don't really care about you when you need her.

It all came to me that I got nobody that I can really rely on when I'm here. It happened when during a holiday trip, A and B really showed their true colours. A keeps complaining about the trip and pulls a long face. Throw tantrums before the trip and made everybody miserable. WTF!!! If you don't want to go then bloody stay at home!

B made me see her true feelings towards me when I misplaced our hostel card, she cursed me under her breath "screw you", as if i can't hear that. That made me realised she dislike me.

As for C, it happened when I was suddenly depressed from an action done by A and B, I've cried and she said she'll come to my room and comfort me but she never came. I waited her for 3 hrs, expecting her but she never did. I realise that, she's not a friend in need. I realise that I should not open myself to people so easily. It made me feel weak.

I think from today onwards, I have to learn not to be so nice anymore. I have to be as selfish and a jerk like them.

I know I'm ranting. Sorry, but it made me feel good after typing all these out. Sigh....

Sennheiser MX400-CS

I’ve always wanted a good pair of earphones to replace my Nokia headset that came with my phone. That headset is uncomfortable and it’s a in-ear headset and it keep dropping off which is getting annoying. One day, a friend of mine took out a pair of Sony earphone and I asked her about the price. She told me it’s good and it’s not too pricey and it’s durable. Then, I went on the internet to search for some models that suit my needs in the Sony website but I didn’t really like their designs so I searched Sennheiser’s earphones instead and found this model. I’ve heard of Sennheiser’s reputation for making good headphones and I was also attracted by the carrying case, lol, so I went to Mid-Valley later and bought this with Christmas discount which was really worth it cause it look and sounds great! It has a clear treble and not too much bass which really suit the type of music I listen to such as rock, pop, and acoustic.

Pros: Clear treble and not too excessive bass.

Cons: Only got a pair of sponge for the earphones.

My trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

I went to Kota Kinabalu last week for 5 days to visit my long lost relatives which was my mom's mother and half-sister. It was fun! The place there was completely different from here. It was clean there and the shop houses were mostly joined together like a long house. The neighbourhood there was quite safe. Many people kept their gates open and were not afraid of robbers.

There were many kinds of seafood there. Some I question whether it is edible or not like the puffer fish. Lol! The beach there were clean and beautiful. The waters were blue and clear. No rubbish littering on the sands. The Manukan Island had a beautiful beach. The boat trip the island there was fun and it only took about 15 minutes.

The Creatures of Permaisuri Lake

I've lived fifteen years of my life near the park which has a huge lake called Tasik Permaisuri. I always go there to walk and jog. It's a pretty popular park. Ask anybody they'll know where is it.

The park is really big with paths that go through the secondary jungle. In that jungle you'll find all kinds of living creatures such as wild chickens, civet cat, monkeys, monitor lizards, magpies, etc. Many of these animals I havs just mentioned can only be seen by chance especially the wild chicken, I saw it flew across a path into the jungle one day. Yup, I mean flew. Few feet above the ground. Chickens reared by people can't fly because they're not lean like the wild ones.

The lake is the biggest attraction here though. Many people came here to picnic and have a good time with their families. Many come here to exercise, There are some children came to swim in it too. I remembered I used to love to come feed the turtles and talapias with bread. I like to see the turtles come in big group and snap out the breads. However, the fishes beat them to it all the time. Lol!

Well, all of them have become a memory in the past. Not because I've grown tired of feeding them. It's because almost all the turtles are dead. Even the numbers of fishes has been reduced.

Why? The lake has become so polluted with rubbish, sewage water, and breads that eventually kills most of the turtles and many fishes. It didn't happen back then when toilets weren't built and the place isn't developed. After they developed the place, more people come and more brainless people throw rubbish and feed unscrupulously to the turtles.

How unscrupulously? Well, I'll tell you how. They throw the entire piece of bread into the lake. I mean come on, any common sense will tell us to tear the bread into smaller pieces to make it easier for the turtles to eat. Even the fishes go after the smaller pieces. And some people throw muffins (the pink coloured type used for offering at the Buddhist altar) for them. For goodness sake, turtles don't eat muffins. Not just one person, many other people did the same as well. Can't they see the first person who threw the muffins in the turtles have no interest in them at all? These eventually decay and pollute the lake later.

After that, I lost count the times I've walked around the lake and smell the smell of rotting flesh. I've seen many dead turtles and fishes floating on the surface. Flies flew around them and smaller fishes feed on their dead bodies. Now, nobody sit by the lake and feed the turtles anymore since none surface for a long time already.

Last year I got my wish. I've always wished there are ducks and geese swimming in the lake and it came true. First it was geese. There were two species. See the pictures below.



They were a great attraction at first. Many people stopped by to see them swim in the lake. Sadly, few months later all except one began to disappear. Later, three ducks were added but they too, disappeared.

Yesterday, we've finally found the source of the disappearance. It is the work of greedy people who see the geese and ducks as nothing more than food instead of decoration. Yesterday there was a man who swam into the lake and capture the last remaining goose. He was so happy. He even had a grin on his face. Unluckily for him, someone reported his theft to the city council guards who were patrolling there. They made him release the goose back to the lake but didn't fine him.

It is so sad indeed to see the lake's number of animals and environment deteriorating.

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEE!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I've finally completed my semester 2 exam! Woot! But I'm worried about my result though...sigh. I'm not sure how I've done. I don't know what to do if my results turn up like last time. Maybe I'll consider jumping down from UCSI 5th floor. LOL! Just kidding.

After spending one and a half months studying hard for my 8 papers fatigue is starting to catch up on me. I can't sleep well during exams because of anxiety, and also sleeping past 3 am, but sometimes I can sleep like a log and unable to get up though, lol. These inconsistent sleeping time make me get insomnia now. It's getting harder to fall asleep for me now.

Well, I've finally got 2 weeks holiday till Semester 3 starts, the final and hardest one. GULP! So now I'm gonna enjoy to the fullest. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'll update more often from now on, that is if I don't have any writer's block, hehe. I may be going for a vacation later, hehe.
