Had a really really buzzy day today. I'm really impressed at myself for being able to actually fit all this into one single day. *proud!* Hahaha!
Woke up at 7.30am and studied for a while before heading out to do our weekly grocery shopping in the city. Spent about 1.5 hours grocery shopping and went back home to sort the stuff. After sorting, I had to rush out and meet Trang for our first house inspection (oh gawd, that place SUCKS! Old and dirty and CREEPY!). Right after the house inspection, I had to show Trang the way to my house since she wants to visit, so I had to go home another time only to rush out AGAIN to meet up with my tutorial mates for brunch in the city - walking distance from where I did my grocery shopping earlier this morning.
From left - Nasyikah, Shanice, Yen Jun and me!
Awesome people, awesome food! @Fraus, West Melbourne. The price was considerably okay because we all shared :)
NEXT.
Right after our brunch date, I had to rush back to my house and meet up with Trang again to go for our second inspection - this house is so much nicer than the first one but its too far from the nearest tram stop. It's too dangerous to walk home at night :/ So... Nope, it just won't work. *sighs*
Second inspection done. Went back home. Before I could even browse through Twitter and Instagram, Jiunkai said "ZHIHAN!! We have to go join the 511 demonstration at Fedsquare!" Okay, then we rushed out once again, where? To the city, again.
4.30pm at Federation Square. All the Malaysians wearing black. But to be honest, I want to know, how many of them actually came here because they want to protest? How many of them came here because they want their face to appear in Facebook?
To be honest, I don't have much to comment about who won and who lost. I am not that politically inclined. At first, I didn't understand why everyone is so worked up about them losing. Another confession, I was annoyed when I saw all the black profile pictures and all the election fraud info on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram or wherever. I mean, what the hell can you change by doing all these? You change NOTHING. What I thought was, so what if they had another election? The same party will still win! They have ways to win once, they can win twice. No problem. But that was before I got to know what happened. I knew about the influx of Banglas into Malaysia for the election but I didn't know about what happened that actual day. That's what changed my perception. What I don't agree on is the method they used to win the election. They should be thinking of ways to win the people's heart, not trying to channel money into their own pockets. No, this I cannot agree. I did not manage to join the 508 demonstration because I only knew about it when it started. I got to know about this one yesterday. Last minute plans.
Going back to the picture on top, when I took it, I saw only FOUR people who are really worth the praise. Out of all these people, only FOUR of them sat there in silence while holding their propaganda. These FOUR did not talk, did not take pictures, did not play with their phone THROUGHOUT the TWO hours. And the FOUR of them, I can see "I WANT TO KILL HIM" in their eyes. Lol. Seriously, they look as if they were gonna kill you-know-who. I am really impressed by how the four guys took this so seriously. *salutes!* Some others, were just there for the photos. So many girls sat there, camwhoring like mad. STUPID. And when photographers came, they posed like models. HA-HA. When Jiunkai, Xinyi, Tingyuen and I sat down. We did not play with our phones, we did not take a single picture, I can't say that we didn't talk but we had minimal discussion. I don't find the need to come here if you are just planning to play a fool with it. But that's my opinion of course. If you feel offended, sorry. If you feel that I am talking about you? Too bad, I am not directing this at anybody. But if you still think that I am, well, then it means that you must have done something wrong, isn't it?
Lastly, after the demonstration, we went for some Korean food. Again, awesome people accompanied by awesome food. Overeating twice in a day. So much for slimming down, so doomed. Mehh. Nice catch-up session. Funny how we were all from different classes, different co-curricular units, different group of friends in Kwang Hua and still are able to talk about our teachers, friends and the good-old days in Kwang Hua :)
And.. I finally got home at 9pm. Mentally and physically exhausted. But I guess it was a day well-spent? Haha! To make it even more well-spent, I must finish at least one lecture recording before I go to bed. Need to start working on my studies again. Another test is coming up in 4 days and presentation in 5. Week 10 nao.
Exactly a month till my final exams!
A month and 9 days till the start of my winter break! :D
