Absolute ennui. I just got home from my parents'. Can't believe nobody was in. Anyways, what did I expect? Mom went to JB with my aunt, I guess. Remembered her texting me the other day. God knows when she's coming back. She didn't tell. Thought she'd be home by today already. I'm starving and not in the mood to cook.
But nevermind, since I'm almost always positive and in a constant state of relaxed alertness, (I'm not making up these descriptions, they came from my kokology test result) I'll take it as a natural way to go on diet. I've put on a couple of kilos lately and it seems like it is almost preposterous for me to shed them off easily. My five-days no carbo diet had my weight reduced by a kilo the other day, so I decided to take a day off and treat myself to a good serving of 'nasi campur'. The next thing I know, the extra masses came back! Damn! There goes all my hard work.
So Papa is not at home either just now. Saw Pearl's stuffs lying around the house. She came back last 4 days but didn't manage to see her just yet. She's in Jakarta now with Saty. Should be back by today or tomorrow. Come back you two! And hurry! I need to connect..

Air Travel-Be Mindful, Please...!!
I'm making this entry because I just need to let go. It's bloody bothersome to see how senseless and how self-centered people are when they air-travel. This is gonna be quite a lengthy entry...but I'll simplify.
Some people actually do these..
1. Carry more than one hand luggage into the cabin. They have their bagpack, their trolley bag, their handbag, their sling bag, their laptop bag plus a few more paper bags from those duty free shops. It's madness! Even if they do carry just one bag, most of the time it's gonna be fucking heavy that the overhead bin could just fall onto their heads!
2. If they travel in group, they're gonna argue over who's sitting where. It is somewhat an unyielding task to decide on who will get the aisle seat or the window seat.
3. Upon getting their meals, they'll eat like pigs,they mess the aisle, their seat and their neighbouring seat. And if the flight is a mere one and a half hour to two hours of flying, they'll nibble at their food slowly as though they're doing a six hour journey!
4. On a forty-five minutes journey, a first-timer travelling in business or first class will certainly make sure that they get to eat, even if it means to choke and gag over their food.
5. When offered fish or chicken, they'll instead ask for beef. Taking what is offered does not apply.
6. Except for passenger seats and meals, it is quite impossible to carry everything on board to cater for each and everyone. But some just do not understand. If only there are marts or 7 Elevens in mid air where aircraft can hover by for them to get their wantings.
7. Simple safety instructions like 'no smoking' and 'please switch off all your electronic devices' become the most difficult phrase to comprehend.
8. The lavatory is the most happening place on board especially during meal time. Some people just love to shove their asses into the faces of others in their attempt to squeeze pass the meal cart to get to the 'joint'. The loo is also a hot spot during take off and landing, when they are suppose to be tucked in at their seats.
9. Pressing the call button become a favorite pasttime on board. There are people who love requesting things one after another instead of asking for all they need at one go. This is what they fail to see. On average, all airline will have the ratio of one crew to forty passengers. Thus, for a flight time of 60 minutes, one can only expect to receive a mere 1.5 minutes of attention. On a journey of 2 hours (120 minutes), passengers are entitled to an average of 3 minutes each, where 2 out of the 3 minutes, shall be utilised for meal serving, leaving only another 1 minute for patrons to ask for other miscellaneous needs. One can only afford to be fussy in an acceptable manner on a flight that is more than 3 hours.
That is part of the long list I had in mind. I'm not being smug. Am just trying to get rid of things. One at a time.
P/s to Harriz : VSS, MSS or whatever it is, is not an option here dude, though I wish it is. Sigh.. Another 8 months to go. But thank you for 'feeling' me?

Get Stupid!
I must blog more. I must blog more.Had just realised how long I've not been writing, letting out my inner thoughts. Don't know why.. Can't say I'm too busy. Too tired, maybe.. Thoughtless, perhaps. The current job is draining my energy, dehydrating my brain. I'm getting stupid...! Aargh...!!!I was reading my old blogs while getting ready for work and realised that life has been pretty much static after my last blog entry. I need to do something about everything. I'm in dire need of change. I'm being in a state of comfort that is doing no good to me. I'm too comfortable that I'm starting to grow mould.Get stupid? I don't wanna...!
