2nd take on an old topic (which I never shared). It came out in the written FCAI exams the other day, and I don't think I did very well. Like I said, you can study all of the things in the world, but what counts is what you recalled. And I definitely did not recall enough. And so I'm not happy about it.
Way back in 2013/2014, I guess with the Parker Frontier and Parker Blue-Black
Warning: foul language ahead.
1) It effing takes me 45 minutes to drive to HKL from Bandar Baru Sentul. The same distance that only takes me 25 minutes of walking. I can’t stand it! It’s so frustrating when your plans are spoiled because of traffic. This is one reason why after more than 1 year of transfer here, I’ve only properly driven the car and parked it less than 10 times. I don't know how you commuters get through the daily grind but I just can't, as I'm just chronically fatigued as it is. Don’t tell me to just not drive in that case; I had no choice but to drive for the past few days.
2) I don't get us stupid Malaysians. We need a sign to tell people to not pee at the ablution areas of prayer rooms. We throw away diapers full of shit right next to benches near prayer rooms. We shit on the floor and walls of public toilets. We die if we don’t leave our piss on toilet rims. We have no right to demand anything out of our politicians if we ourselves are not accountable at all towards others.
People will pee here
3) Have slinkies gone extinct from the face of the earth? Yesterday we tried to search for one and couldn’t find any. This is the most pressing issue of all: an angry child is a biopsychosocial-spiritual hazard (I’m currently in the chronic pain rotation).
Since we no longer know how slinkies look like..
4) Stephen Hawking just died. The intellectual community just lost someone important. He may have been crippled but his will was stronger than most. He will be missed.
5) I find it ridiculous that any shop in a relatively low volume mall with only 25% of its seats occupied could have something as bland as bread (let alone spring rolls) run out. Where’s the inventory management?
I’ll admit that I am pretty violent (not surprising for someone with anger issues). But the NRA and the rest of the people on that extreme spectrum of gun control are a different animal altogether in the States, the only country with liberal gun controls.
The fact that they have a TV channel on Apple TV (which is hilarious as Apple would never have something remotely contentious on their App Store) will tell all you need to know about how effed up those side of the people are.
Talk about people getting orgasmic about gunpowder in iron barrels.
Or how about marriage blessings with guns and bullets and a whole lotta crown? Is anyone outside of America up for that? There’s a lot of weird stuff out there, and I hope that it’s not representative as a whole (the social media age has allowed anything to get a say and become popular); it's undeniable though that the US has the highest rates of mass shootings anywhere.
And does anyone notice that the overwhelming majority of these kinds of people are all whites?
It’s pretty clear that America’s extremely pro-Gun attitute is a significant factor in its highly violent environment as a whole.
