Bringing Out the Worst in Me.

lately, everything just doesn't seems right. lately what i felt?offended, unhappy, disappointed.
sometimes i just dont understand. how could she be so OBLIVIOUS? how could she just utter those words without thinking that it would offend me? how could she LIED to me? How could she just left me out in the COLD, as if she's the only one in charge? worse of all...this "she" is my so-called best friend. My friendship with her seems to be bringing out the worst in me. i start to accumulate all the things she had done or said to me that offended me.i start to point of her weakness, her flaws to myself. i start to compare. i really hate myself for doing this, but i cant stop myself from doing all this.there is a limit in everything.it's just a matter of time now.

DON'T BRIBE ME

we were on our way back from cheras to college in wendy's car when we saw this.it's a police car.in my mind..i was thinking "how ironic is this!!!" just few weeks back, wendy just bribe a policeman cos she used the bus lane.aiih..sumore it was requested by the police himself...aiiihhh....

Teargas used on rare Malaysia demo (CNN)

(CNN) -- The largest political protest in nearly a decade erupted in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur, Saturday with riot police aiming water hoses and tear gas at thousands of protesters gathered to demand electoral reform.

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Kuala Lumpur to demand electoral reform.

Opposition parties and civic groups demonstrated against alleged fraudulent activity in the electoral process and demanded an overhaul of Malaysia's electoral commission ahead of general elections widely expected for early next year.


Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had vowed to suppress the demonstration, and on Saturday police had erected roadblocks and ramped up security in an attempt to close down the city's center.
Nevertheless, in defiance a government ban, between 30,000 and 40,000 demonstrators massed outside the royal palace in Kuala Lumpar, according to media reports. Opposition group leader and former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim put the number much higher, claiming more than 100,000 people had gathered in the streets.
One witness said police fired tear gas and jets of "chemically-laced water" at hundreds of demonstrators who sought refuge in the city's Jamek mosque and in commercial buildings.
"Squads of police are chasing hundreds of protesters along alleys and on the city streets," the witness said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He said blockades had been set up around the city to hem in demonstrators.
Photos of the crackdown showed protesters dressed in yellow t-shirts and head scarves shielding their heads as water from cannons blasted down on them.


New York-based Human Rights Watch slammed the rally ban and urged the government to support free speech ahead of elections expected to be called early next year. "If Malaysia wants to count itself a democracy, it can begin by upholding constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. The way the system works now, only the ruling coalition can get its messages out," it said.
Human Rights Watch said Malaysian elections have been sullied by vote-buying, the use of public resources by the ruling parties and accusations of bias against the Election Commission.
Malaysia has had only one party in power since 1957.



Speaking to CNN after briefly addressing the opposition-backed rally, Anwar said "we are demanding that the (election) process be cleansed. There are no such thing as fair elections in Malaysia at the moment."
He said a memorandum detailing allegations of corruption by the commission had been handed to Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, Malaysia's constitutional monarch.
Malaysian law stipulates the sultan must give his royal assent to the commission after it has been appointed by the government.
Opposition party leaders, including Anwar, called the mass meeting to protest alleged fraudulent activity in the electoral process.
"This was an attempt to threaten the people. But I am very proud that Malaysians were not intimidated and turned out in such great numbers and that they behaved peacefully," Anwar said.
Anwar was heir apparent to former premier Mahathir Mohamad until 1998, when he was sacked and charged for corruption and sodomy.



The sodomy conviction was overturned, but the corruption verdict was never lifted, barring him from running for political post until next year.

Clubbing at Klub.

i think about 2 weeks ago, tian told us that alex & her friend (Kinz) will be spinning music at Klub.and this would be his very 1st time.so..all of us (nie,li,wey,hong,tian,alex,me and some of their friends) decided to support him, ohya! angel was there too!!and for me..other than that, i just want to check out the place.we reached there about 11 sth...then when we went into the place, it's not that big, their decorations are so-so but they had quite a spacious dance floor.BUT, when i look at surrounding ppl...*ahhem* it's kinda hard to find ppl our age.plus that time kinz aka DJ shi-kinz-sha (im not sure wht i got the spelling right or not) not yet start spinning as they had some kinda of performance by a women with to aqua background dancers.what can i say about their performances?DISGUSTING.basically i need to turn my back,i rather face the back than them dancing.and the so-called singer, can only talk about her "mountains" and her experience in guys when she was in Europe. maybe she's just out for "business" that night..well, finally about almost 1am then kinz went up.aihh...too bad he's into techno and trans..so i cant really appreciate those kinda music, as im an RnB GIRL!! well...many FUNNY things happened that night..i cant really remember all..but one thing ya..the so-called singers actually pulled 3 guys out from our table to go on stage...and..well...i cant remember the details...lol...

The Sad Truth.

there is this person whom i really look up to, and greatly admired.she inspires me to study, to research on the subject that she taught.basically she motivates me a lot, especially just months before my exams.whenever i did assignments for her, my purpose of handing up assignments is not just for the sake of doing it, but to achieve great marks from her, just a simple compliment from her, gave me some sort of pride.her simple request of photocopying my assignment/notes made me feel proud. much efforts were put in so that i would be able to achieve the highest marks in that particular subject just to make her proud of me.but...looks like i didnt study hard enough.im far from the highest.i dont know whether she's disappointed or does not feel anything about it.(after all that's happening lately seem to be the latter one) after finishing our 1st yr, time to chose one optional paper to do.i had some sort of dilemma in chosing what i want to study.the main reason i want to take subject A is because she's the main lecturer in it, other than being very interested in that subject.however, after weighing the pros and cons, i decided to take another subject instead.(which i didnt regret) after making this decision, my instincts tell me that things will definitely change as i wouldnt have her as my tutor anymore.as time passes by, there were some negative part of me (when i was with my friends) that was seen by her.as time passes by, i realised that she's not being that friendly to me anymore. as time passes by, i realised that i cant just approach her and just talk. i was really disappointed and a bit down by this whole situation. to make matter worse, she overheard me cracking a joke (which i "learnt" from another lecturer of another subject) about the subject that SHE's teaching.well...looks like...AS TIME PASSES BY, her perception or impression towards me will drop to negative. there's no one to blame in this whole situation but my own bloody mouth. but all the "negative parts" of me that she saw, is who i am. but i cant help feeling sad about this whole situation. the person who used to inspires and motivates now longer do so.
