Assalamualaikum :)

i'm still in the middle of the finals and the anxiety level is still high and likewise with the affective filter, huhu..

for the paper, rekabentuk instruksional and teknologi, the only paper in bm this sem, which was yesterday was too frustrating for words! duncha just hate it when what you read and then you do 4 sets of past years but still, when you finally sat for the real thing, it just doesn't tally all that?! urgh!! there was this question and it had the answer options as follows:

a. semua adalah benar

b. semua adalah salah

c. ada sebahagiannya benar

d. sebahagian kenyataan adalah tidak tepat sama sekali

okayyyy, helloooo mr whoever-did-the-questions!! i mean, what's with that??!! and i thought hard for what to circle, until i accidently dozed off, hehehe, well, it was in the afternoon after all :">

i have a story to share...

last week i went to the tanjung malim pasar malam for the most finger-licking grilled chicken wing sold there, and i met one of the college bus driver. he was with his son because the son look like him. nway, it wasn't the first time that i had met both of them, so i reminisced back to the first time and that was in the local tanjung malim supermarket...

i was choosing on what yogurt drink to buy, not looking at the price mind you but at what flavor i haven't had in a while...tsk...tsk...

and then i overheard the conversation between mr bus driver and his son. the son was choosing on some fried snacks and when he picked up an ayamas branded one, the father said, no, that's too expensive. so he chose another one, but his father shook his head and said that was expensive too. then the father picked up what looked like a plain plastic one, and then he said, let's just buy this one (okay, the dialogue is in malay but i dunno how best to make it sound dramatic, huhu) and consequently they just left.

i was looking intently at them with the fridge door opened because being indecisive, i haven't made my choice yet. but then i just couldn't buy because it was too overwhelming :'(

i mean, i HAVE NEVER had to think about food being expensive [except for the obvious one la]

it was always, when my family and i went shopping in giant or any supermarket, we could just grab anything and our parents would just pay for the items. there was never any question that an ayamas fried something is expensive...

i was dumbstruck and it made me think reallyyy bad because some people out there have it so much worse and i just gotta stop being ungrateful...

a star columnist once wrote that she wore a band on her right wrist and everytime she complained, she would switched the band to her left wrist. the challenge was to not complain for one day, 24 hours but at the end of the day, she failed to do so...

now, i wonder where that band would end up if i had worn it...maybe i should...maybe we all should challenge ourselves, because nobody likes a whiner, hehe ;)
