So much for Merdeka…

disclaimer: this article are not meant to be a subject for political discussion. All record of incident is true by a first person experience point of view.
I just came back from a gathering with some of my old friends from high schools 30 mins ago. It happens that some of us are in town (Kuantan), because it is Merdeka day, so my friends have day-off. 4 of us headed to “Santai” cafe to have a drink and chit chat.
At 12 midnite, a bunch of motorcyclist (some 35 of them) start appearing out of everywhere…most of them don’t wear helmets and a few jokers are making noises with their motorcycle. They all occupied the small crossroad just next to the “Santai” cafe. It appear as if they were waiting for their gang to parade/illegally road-race. It is rather annoying, and they attracts a lot of attention from the ppl inside the cafe.
Then it happens!
A young man in brown jacket ran down from the motorcycle, reaches for the handbag of a girl sitting 1 table behind mine, then sped-off with his friend on a bike. The whole thing happens while my back is facing them. So, the moment when the girl scream for help, i could only catch a glimpse of the guy already getting on the motorcycle ready to go.
They really caught us off-guard!
We were all really stunt by the act of crime, and quite frankly speaking, I have no idea how to react. I already stood up when the girl scream, but I could only watch them running away. I felt so useless, and helpless. It is a shitty feeling.
The worse part of the story is, the bunch of motorist still lurks around the junction for another 15-20 mins not wanting to leave. My friends (all 3 of them are girls) became very worried, as anything could just happen now. We dont know if another of them will come and try to rob us, or if they would attack ppl in groups.
Gees, so much for Merdeka.
I felt so sad for being a Malaysian. Watching a crime occur on the day our country suppose to celebrate its independence day. Why if we were indepedent, that we still need to be fearful of such things? maybe i am naive to ask, but is it too much to ask for a peaceful country?
Seriously, I curse those ppl!
sometimes I wonder, is it because our system had fail us? this is the product of our nations????

surviving ? :p

i’ve graduated for almost 2 month now… back in Malaysia for almost 1 month. Initially, i was expecting to start working by mid sept. but by the way things are heading now, i think i will only start work by oct.
so, wat do i do with my free time? i wonder :p
well, the whole aug month doesnt past without some surprises. Lots of things happened…
- gone to register so i could start work
- met my moscow frends for karaoke,
- gone to watch fireworks at putrajaya,
- gone to visit relatives and had a wonder meal with my cousins
- tag along for tour guiding a bit for some Russian friends who came over to malaysia for holiday :)
at other times, i spent them with my family (esp with nephews). I dont have any photos to be uploaded now, coz i am ……………………..L A Z Y lorrr
well, regarding how to spend the free time till the starting of my housemanship? the basic plan is to get prepared for it, so i wont be caught off-guard with arusty knowledge.
so now, i will prepare some card-notes (like those we use in debate :p) with the some fingertips stuff essential to survive.
Janet gave me a few short notes written by some HO. It is some fun reading, but i think it is about time i dug up some of my books and start picking up the phase.
Of course, all talk and no work might not be enough, but seriously, i kindda dun feel like going to do practicals at hospital while waiting for my housemanship to begin. Coz, i will definately be swarm with the same thing when i start.
well, let’s take one thing at a time. Perhaps the path will show-up sooner or later ;)
