I bang~~ having a car accident...

4th day of a new year huh... Still happy new year? NO!!! Because I accidentally hit 2 cars at one shot... I used to kiddin with my friends that having traffic accident is like chicken pop - a must in life. Now I eat my own words. which come in double troubles. It's really scary experience although it's only some small scatches... My hands are even still shaking until now. Because 1 of the car I bangs belong to a gangster....

Luckily my brother-in-law was there to help out for the settlements. Everything seem overcame. Once again I observed the "greatness" of him. He even called his friends, a policeman and a workshop technician to make sure everything's under control. Seriously he's the man I respect the most beside my parents and elder brother. Since I was a kid, he started to help my family in all sort of problems. My sister really picked a great man as husband.

In contrast, I realised myself is so useless and immature to handle these kind of situations. It's kinda shameful for a 20 years old man to be so dependant... I can't imagine how I gonna settle this matter if I was on my own... Never made my new year wish yet... I hope I can be a great man as my brother-in-law in near future...

No photo was taken... How possible I'll dare or have the mood the take photo under the situation... LoL... What a bad experience... Hope I still manage to get some sleep tonight...

ps: I didn't even told my parents about this accident yet...

Happy New Year ! Happy Rise Taxes !

A new year came while I'm headache about my application for Uni. of Melb. Really a bad start for 2008... Putting that sad story aside... Well, basiclly there are 2 things everyone need to do in the very beginning of a year.
1. Plan the year.
2. Pay the year. I mean... the taxes.

I went accompany my mom to several government departments to pay up all sort of taxes today. After 4 days off, it's no doubt that these places is gonna fill will crowd of good citizens that planning to pay their bills.

Our 1st destination is to pay Housing tax. A long queqe in front of the counter to pay Housing tax. I'm kinda pissed off because there were actually 3 counters operating, but the other 2 counters that in charge of other business never bother to help make the queqe move faster even there were no people dealing with them.

Soon, there were discussion on the increased taxes because someone's Housing tax rised about 300% from RM7XX to RM2XXX. But it's found later that the rises depend on areas. Mostly increased around 60-90% and the one with 300% increased rate is the most critical one. Our house only increased around RM10 only. Afterall, it's still a shock news since the taxes never rised that much for years... Not sure about other states...


JPJ Office. Another place that rised my blood pressure. You believes that only 1 counter on duty in the early morning?

Merry X'mas?

It's another Christmas, which means a year has come to it's end. My family is not christian, so Christmas is just a public holiday for us. Except my sister who is a sincere Christian. Heard a story about Christmas from my sister when i asked her how her church celebrating Christmas this year. My sister said this issue still under debate, so i'm just telling this as a rumour. Didn't mean to insult anyone.

Do you realise some greetings nowadays or properly you yourself also using "Merry X'mas" instead of "Merry Christmas" ? Most people will think tat's just a short form just like me. But it's X-mas, not really sound like Christmas isn't it?

Well actually, the 'X' has the same meaning as in mathematics. An unknown. They are telling that Christmas is not Christ's birthday! Even the Bible never mentioned about His birth date. So some philosophers suggested that Christmas actually is not Christ's birthday. But due to some incidents/mistakes (Not sure about this part, forgive me if any wrong information), 25th of December is treat as Christ's birthday and being celebrated by Christian for centuries until now.

Furthermore, Christmas nowadays is also celebrated even by none Christian. Many culture of Christmas formed also seem to be not related to christianity. Santa Clause, Christmas tree, etc etc.. So, they remove the word 'Christ' and replace with an unknown 'X' to compromise the Christmas that had been commercialize in modern societies...

Next time, when u writing greetings to people, think again... 'Merry Christmas' or 'Merry X'mas' ?

Singapore Travelling...

One of the nonsense of this trip is, we went with a luxury bus but lived in a budget hotel. 3 nights in Fragrance Hotel cost $100 per person but two-ways Aeroline bus ticket has cost me $80.

We were greeted by Rain God in the very first day we reached. Even we got some raincoat and umbrella, but the rain was cats and dogs. We were all soaking wet. Teck Hong tell us forecast said it going to rain for the whole week. So Joey, Jovie, Sam and me all bought umbrellas because we were too fed up after washed by the rain.

This is my last trip with A Level friends. Quite funny for a group of people who don't like shopping making a trip to Singapore. Compare to walk around those branded shopping malls, we boys seem to be more enjoying gather and play together in hotel's room. Like Sam said, we better use the money to rent a room in KL hotel and spend times together inside. Personally, I also quite prefer a trip like that... I though I'd withstood but it still felt very down when separated with friends, especially I leaved earlier alone before the trip end.
