Danger

There is always danger around us. Danger surrounds us everyday, therefore we have to pay more attention, be more alert wherever we are, especially girls!!

I went to a talk on “City Survival Kit”, which is about the safety precautious that every female should know. I glad that I went for that talk. Really. Everyone told me that the talk will be a boring one, “As you know, the inspector will come and talk rubbish, as in don’t walk alone, and don’t wear those exposing cloths…. Blah blah blah…” This is what they told me. Luckily, I never listen to them.

The session was very interesting, although there is some part where the inspector shows us the picture of some awful picture that made me quite uncomfortable with. However, some of the inspector words are quite inspiring and made me think a lot.

I would like to say “I love you mom and dad! Thanks for taking such good care of me!!”

Ok, back to topic.
What I actually want to reflect is the illness of today society. I don’t really understand why some of the males like sex so much that they can’t even control themselves and do something that against the norm of the society and also moral values. They put drugs into drinks; causing the women unconscious then RAPE AND KILL, follow by the misuse the advanced technology to take naked photo of women and more!!

Oh God!! Can’t they think about the consequences before they do something? Can’t they just solve by themselves? Why they have to torture women? I just don’t understand!

Not only this, why people have to do such things that harm others and put them at risk? These inconsiderate actions like robbery, snatching, kidnapping, murdering, break-in and more. Money is important to live on, so do lives. People should not risk their precious lives for the change of money. You want money, go on and WORK HARD! Don’t do such a cheapskate behaviors to earn easy money. Do you think you will feel good when you use the money after admitting such “lousy job”?

Danger are soundless, sightless and don’t smell. So, the only thing we can do is to sense the coming danger. Please be alert, be more careful and be calm.

I have no words to say. So, BEWARE! Especially LADIES!

Friendship

Friendship happens when people make friends with another people. When someone comes to a certain unfamiliar place alone, he or she will feel isolated with the people surrounding, just like me when I first arrive in the college.

When I start to make friends with the others, I bumped into one of my secondary friend. I am not really close to her, but it is just fate that brought us together. I am not rejecting her, but the presence of this secondary schoolmate somehow will forbid me from making other new friends who is a total stranger to me. I believe this is not only my problem, but the others too.

When you bumped into someone you know earlier, you will start to stick with your friend all the time, especially those who are quiet, lonely and not really “talk-able”. Take my situation for instance; when I try to make new friends from the other states, I have to talk to them. Talk is the only way to know each other and also to make new friends. My friend however is that kind of quiet girl; she won’t interrupt and help herself to suit in our conversation. Therefore I felt sorry for her, as tough I left her aside or rejected her. So what should I do now? Continue my chatting or stop immediately to company her?

Thereinafter, I start to wonder, is it a good thing to meet with someone you know in a totally unfamiliar place or when you are alone? Or is it better to left out your friend that you know earlier and continue lead on to your new life without their presence? I know that this may sound sarcastic, but it is true. When you found someone you know in someplace you don’t know, you will start to stuck with your current friend rather than making new ones.

I don’t really know is this situation is happening to someone out there, but I just want to share with you all that, it is better to make new friends rather than sticking with your old mate which is what I am doing now. I just can’t help myself to let be alone, since she is my friend, as I considered.

I passed

Yesterday, I went for my ‘undang’ test, or should I use ‘Rules and Regulations on the Road’ theoretical test or ‘Theory for Road Safety’ test to replace the word ‘undang’? No idea, let’s stick back to ‘undang’, sounds more pleasant to the ear.

After having my breakfast in a coffee shop in SS15, I then heading towards the exam place to do the test. My mother ‘suddenly’ only realize that I am wearing shorts, and then she went mad. She is afraid that I am not able to take the test, as in a Muslim country shorts are not allow to wear in formal ceremony, although the shorts is below my knee level.

Not that I am not aware of this, is just I feel comfortable wearing shorts rather then jeans. Jeans are long, thick, and I feel quite warm wearing it, whereas shorts are most likely ‘ventilated’, so they are more comfortable to wear on. Luckily I brought my spare jeans at first, because I also scared that the officer doesn’t allow me to take the exam as I was wearing my shorts.

After settled with my jeans issue, I walk in to the place. I was pleasant to see some of my ex-schoolmate in there too. I sat down and have some talk with them. After chatting some time, I only realized that I haven’t register. I quickly stood up and head towards the counter. The lady officer saw my action and secretly laughs at me. I said ‘secretly’ is because I know that she is trying to hide the smile on her face away from me. Well, I am not offended because I knew that sometimes my childish actions do entertain other people without my notices.

I am patiently waiting at the waiting hall. Not for long, my name was called out and the lady officer again directs me to the exam hall. We need to answer this ‘undang’ test through computer under E-khidmat Company. I was nervous for the first part, which is about colour blindness. The problem is not about the colour, but it is about the mistake that I would made, such as click the wrong button and submit the wrong answer. For your knowledge, a single mistake in that colour blindness part, you are directly banded to continue the test. This not only wasted your time waiting and the money earlier, it also cost you to pay extra money to re-sit for the exam. Meanwhile, you are required to go to the specific office to fill up some forms and required to go for an eye check with the government doctor. After the report from the doctor sends out to assure that you are not colour blindness, then only you can re-sit the exam. Such a complicated process!

I read the questions as careful as I can and answer it. At last, I correct all the questions at the colour blindness part. Next part was the sign, logo, ethics during driving, and the rules and regulations on the road for beginner. I have to score 84% which means 42 questions out of 50 questions in order to pass this examination. After 14 minutes and 17 seconds, I finally have done all the questions, not confidently. I waiting for the results anxiously and the moment have come!!!

I try my very best to stay clam and check the results. I somehow get confuse and didn’t know what am I seeing. After I am recover from the severe concussion, I finally saw the word ‘markah anda’ is 42/50, then ‘keputusan anda: lulus’.

WAHAHAHAHA!!! I passed my exam!!! This result still scared me because I was at the border line, any question that they consider wrong marking, although I know the possibility is low, and then I will fail!! Thank God, I passed.

New Life

Everyone deserves to have as much new life as they can, as long as it is a positive way of lifestyle. Well, every single journey is something new to me, and now, my new life is my college life.

I have to admit that it is not easy to deal with something that you totally unfamiliar with. I thought it was easy to adapt into a different environment that I not used to be. My over confidence, however, made my first day of the orientation in my college life a total disaster. Due to the anxiety the day before, I can’t even have a good rest, so once I reach the college, I felt so sleepy and moody (due to lack of rest), causes me don’t have that type of exciting and make-new-friend mood to continue the day.

To keep myself awake and to look enthusiastic, I keep on drinking the water I brought, so that I have some movement to make myself awake. Of course as time pass, I had pay many visit to the relief centre.

Orientation may be fun if everyone put in their effort to make it fun. Life normally won’t go the way we wished for. Honestly saying, my orientation is sxxx. Reason behind this is I get a group of people that they declare themselves as teammates are not cooperating and self-centre. It is really hard to get along with them when you are that impatience type of people, lack of rest on that day and yet have to pretend to enjoy the whole process with the fake smile on your face. It is tiring!

I would consider this as my new challenges in my new life. When I talk about this, my mom told me that this is just a part of the reality and there are many more that I haven’t met. Accept the fact that life is unpredictable, I have to convince myself with that. Next week is till the orientation week, (wonder why we need so long orientation!) hopefully I can have “fun” with my teammates along the week!

New life, new challenges! I am trying my best to fit in.
