Why I need a car ASAP

There is nothing worse than waiting for a cab at The Curve, especially on weekends. I have been through this so many times that most of the time I just force myself to drag my lazy bum (and feet) and walk home. Its not even good exercise since after my shopping trips, my bag will be filled with food and I end up gobbling em up to make up for lost calories, and mood. By the time I reach home, I look like something the cat dragged into the house.

So anyways, what these drivers do is park their cabs at the taxi stand (where clearly there is a sign that says no waiting) and refuse to send you anywhere unless to agree to their price. By their price I mean like, RM20 to get to Mont Kiara from the curve or RM35 to go to KL. How ridiculous is that? Are we supposed to pay them for their laziness? I once waited for a cab there and they actually had the nerve to ask me to wait somewhere else because konon2 that place is reserved for hotel guests (Royale Bintang). What a load of doodoo but I didn't have a choice because 10 of them there were quite intimidating.

HB6585 & HBA334. These are the cab numbers of cabs who didn't want to send me to my place which is like 7 minutes away by car and wanted to charge me RM8 if they do. I finally got a cab who used the fare meter and it only cost me RM4 (plus tips; I was really thankful,my PMS cramps was getting bad). To the two cabbies, may karma bites you on your lazy, greedy behind and you won't get any passengers today and tommorow.Make it the rest of next week.

If you ever come across cabbies you are not happy with, heres a link where you can report them in.http://sikap.mecd.gov.my/eaduan/form.php
Not that I am confident that they will do anything about it, but I do have a little bit of faith left.

Chasing Pavements (Adele)

***just wanna share the lyrics to my current favourite song. Adele won the grammy this year for best vocal in a song. i don't have the video yet but will post it when i do :)

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know this is love but,

If I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And that's exactly what I need to do,
If I'm in love with you,

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere


Finally.

I love Malaysia part i

MB Khalid defends non-bumi PKNS appointment
By ELAN PERUMAL and LIM CHIA YING
(The Star: Wednesday October 29th 2008)

SHAH ALAM: Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has defended the appointment of a non-bumiputra as the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) acting general manager, saying that she is a senior officer who has served for 33 years.

The Selangor Mentri Besar said that Low Siew Moi, who was due for retirement, had served the
44-year-old organisation as its deputy general manager (for corporate development) for the last 11 years. Low was picked from within the PKNS and not “out of nowhere,” he said, adding that she was fully aware of the organisation’s affairs. “Low is fully aware of the fact that she will have to relinquish the position as soon as the right candidate has been identified,” he told a press conference after the State Assembly sitting here yesterday.

Khalid expressed surprise that some quarters had used her being a non-bumiputra as grounds to oppose her appointment.

Meanwhile, the Selangor Malays Residents Action Body held a small demonstration outside the state secretariat building here to protest against the appointment. The group, led by its chairman Kamaruddin Raja Ab Wahid, said the move infringed Malay rights and insulted the Sultans.

Selangor PAS commissioner Da-tuk Dr Hassan Mohamed Ali said that after meeting Khalid, it
was agreed that Low’s appoint-ment would be a short-term measure. “The Mentri Besar has agreed to this proposal and therefore Low’s appointment will be on day-to-day or weekly basis,” Dr Hassan told reporters yesterday. “Now it will depend on PAS to nominate a candidate. After that, a suitable person fills up the post. “The candidate chosen must be experienced in property, accounting and auditing.”

Former Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo said it was the Mentri Besar’s prerogative to choose a candidate but that it should have been done in consultation with officers.
“Usually for a high post like this, the person must be a Malay. If I had done this (without consultation), then I would have been labelled as arrogant,” he said.
