SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Worst case scenario 
Permanent link Post a Comment

There is actually a show called Worst Case Scenario on ASTRO which tells you what to do in case the worse case scenario happens. Today THREE worst case scenarios happened to me and I really need to get this out of my chest.

First our government was kind enough to teach us to be self sufficient by increasing the petrol price again by 10 cents from RM1.52. This is like the 6th or 5th increase in a few months. Wonder what they do with all the extra cash? Well I don't know. Salaries are not increasing, our public transport is still as "impotent" as ever and yet again, petrol price increase. I am very unhappy with how things are going and let's just say those excuses about gettting us off subsidies to be more self sufficient so that the money can be better used elsewhere is bs to me. Petrol like rice is a must in this modern world, more so when we do not have Japan's transport system and safety mind you. People do get raped in a bus, now even in your own hotel room. I am not going to take buses, no way as I am so out of the buses you know like so many years already. Subsidies for certain items is a must, petrol I feel should be one of them. Or at least don't pretend to increase bit by bit in a space of a few months. Be a man, increase it one time and be done with it. Very disappointed. I feel like being cheated.

Next my stupid credit card got rejected 5 times when I wanted to pay for petrol already pumped into my car. What to do when you have no cash and just 1 credit card? The cashier asked for cash and I looked at him like "Are you kidding me?" and I said "If I had cash, I wouldn't be using my card" and then for back up credit card and I said "This is the only one". And that station is like 30 min from my house. Worst case. What to do if that machine still rejected my credit card? Never know the answer because one last try and it worked. I told them it would work because I just used it!

And worst of the worst, I wanted to try on my most expensive coat/suit that I bought many years but rarely worn it. Guess what? My mom did a cupboard cleanup and since she can't find this coat anywhere else, I can only conclude she put it into a pile of unwanted clothes and gave it to some local orphanage. So right now one lucky orphan has my most expensive coat that I rarely worn. I vomitted blood and I confess, I screamed at my mother. She always do this, and never consulted me what I didn't want and what I wanted. And that coat was high quality, most expensive piece of clothing in my already depleting wardbrobe. She chucked it out claiming she thought it was my sister's or rather that I have grown too big for it. I mean let me be the judge of it. Of course she said I'll pay you back but that is so besides the point! Of course my sister scolded me but I told her why don't mom throw out your Jasper Conrad suit without your consent, donated it somewhere without you knowing for months and let's not be a hypocrite; will you still smile and say let it be?

Of course I had to let it be. What can I do? But not before I speak my mind. RM200-00 plus gone down the drain because she didn't ask and she deemed me too fat for that suit. Now I know why I never thought I was big sized because she chucked out the smaller sizes so giving me an illusion that my wardrobe still fits! And guess what? She never chuck out the pants that were torn or old! But my most expensive suit, gone! I am still angry, very angry, not just by the lost of this suit which I never thought was comfortable to wear BUT looking very stylish but because my things just disappear and not even one word, not one consultation. My mom has become my own fashion consultant or rather fashion dictator. She kept saying she'll pay me back. What's the use? I can't get it back. She can buy me a new one for all I care, I am not going to wear that. The point is never take without asking even if she's my mom!

What is going on? Am I jinxed? First parking ticket lost (and found right underneath my brake pedal that somehow I didn't see), then petrol price, then my credit card (actually the machine was the problem) and now my suit or rather my mother. Call me ungrateful or rude to really shout at her as in not SHOUT at her but really raise my voice and banged the door but how would you feel, after you come home from work tired, stressed and dirty and planning your next day's meeting with important clients hoping to try on that one nice suit that is both expensive and stylish to find it gone, packed and donated to a charity home? Smile and just move on?

No, make hell, sulk and then move on!

I feel like crying everytime I thought of my suit.

Unfortunately I've been at the other end. I've tossed out my mom's stuff without consulting her one time I was cleaning. But they were only old socks (which lose elasticity) and I didn't ask her, because knowing she is a hoarder, she will never allow me to throw it away.

But in your case it's different since it's a new suit that was quite expensive. Hopefully you've made it clear that your family can't throw away your stuff without asking you again.

I never know there are patrol stations in M'sia that let u pump petrol before paying. All petrol station I visited, be it in Penang or KL, need the customer to pay first before taking the petrol.
