hypertension

for 2 weeks in a row when i was driving back from simunjan to kuching, i was blocked by stupid cars going so slowly on the long long roads. last week i think it was some old man going at 50. i managed to overtake him after abt 5 or 10 minutes and that was already annoying enough.

today, there was a stupid inconsiderate selfish brainless lorry also going about 50 for at least 20 minutes!!!! want to cough blood already. i wouldn't be surprised if he managed to accumulate 100 cars behind him. there were already 7 cars in front of me and countless other behind. people kept trying to cut each other but it was rather impossible to cut him coz there were so many cars coming from the other direction. there were so many places where he could have just gone to the side and let some cars pass. but nooo he just kept at it stubbornly. who knows how many accidents he could have caused with so many people trying to cut behind him. and it was at least 20 minutes before we finally reached a double-laned road where everyone overtook him. idiot.

intruders

the thing i can't stand the most about staying in simunjan is the insects. so many and so disgusting. arghh.

this one is really weird. it's maybe 2cm long and looks like a baby scorpion. its long forked tail can wave about in the air. damn disgusting. my dad says it's a silverfish but my mom says it's not..

this moth. arghh. it was in the bathroom one night when i wanted to brush my teeth and go to sleep. when i sprayed it with ridsect, it started flying around violently. so scary. it took half an hour of spraying just to get it on the ground, and it was still struggling and fluttering about on the floor (as you can tell from the blur picture) when i finally went bed. so annoying. wasted my sleeping time.

this green bug made me late to work coz it was buzzing around loudly downstairs one morning.

this is a five-legged spider. you can count the legs. it looked really strange when it was crawling on the wall. i guess its legs must have broken off somewhere. or are there really 5-legged spiders?

this beetle hasn't actually invaded my house. but i've seen it around the hospital where there's grassy areas. it's really big although you can't tell from the picture. i think it's like 2 inches long.

and there are also various other smaller insects which i usually don't bother to spray. but the bigger ones i just have to spray on sight. damn gross. and it's like they can attack me at any time. you think living in a rural area is peaceful? it's not. i have to be like constantly wary. and if i don't die from a heart attack, i'm gonna die from ridsect poisoning.

how i accidentally got a vios

in deciding between a vios and a city, the main factor i was going for was how fast i could get it. at first both cars were only available in april so i finally decided to get a city and my dad said he would arrange it for me.

but then the toyota guy called me and said they have a silver vios at the end of march, so i smsed my dad saying the toyota guy says there's a vios at the end of the month and i want it. somehow, my dad took it to mean that i want a vios, period. so he called a different toyota guy (i don't know why he didn't even check about the vios coming at the month) and put down the deposit for a vios.

so i'm getting a vios. oh well. maybe it's fate. haha.
