Feeling a little depress

musing 10 Comments »

I am feeling a little depress today. There are so many frustrations we as a rakyat are facing and now come another big shock of petrol hike. And my usual fish ball noodle soup already increases its price from Rm3.50 last year to Rm5 now.  It’s a chain reaction, everything will follow suit. How can we cope with the uncertainty of our fade in Malaysia? How is our offspring gonna survive in years to come if this problem is not fix and look into seriously? I wanted to get a new car but no, not now. I remembered being able to own a brand new Hyundai at Aus7-8K back then in Australia. Here in Malaysia, one has to go on loan from 3-9 years to pay off their car loan if no substantial amount of deposit is placed in the first place.

Our shoulder is getting heavier by the day. I can’t see where we are heading, dark clouds is fogging our head due to inefficient management and corruption. We are the one that suffer ultimately, not them. I am seeing a vague image of myself struggling on the surface of deep water, paddling hard to stay afloat and avoiding blood suckers and man-eaters. When is this going to stop? Where are we heading? When can we see lights in the tunnel?

Anti-smoking sign

musing 10 Comments »

What is the use of putting up anti-smoking signs when people in Malaysia don’t border? Often or not the sign is just a decorative item in toilets, restaurants, air-con buildings, public places and etc.

I just couldn’t understand why people still smoke in areas that is labeled NO SMOKING. To them it’s just a sign, no effects at all. Why? Because the owner that put up the signs also never border to stop it’s customers from doing so. Once I was in an air-condition restaurant whereby smoking are not allowed but when I compliant that someone is smoking, guess what the restaurant people say? “We can’t do anything”. WHAT? Then don’t put up the bloody sign. It’s so irritating especially seeing those young girls carrying lighted sticks of ciggy happily chatting away while it burns and leaving ashes on the floor and polluted the entire food court and stair cases in office building. Another one is those advertising aunty that have to light a ciggy when they make their big business. There are signs and messages behind the toilet doors to remind them that smoking is not allowed but who is there to enforce the rules and to stop them from covering the entire toilet with white smokes? There must be thinking what can you do to me if I smoke? Do you think when you call the bomba or the police they will care?

We are just so backwards in all these. How I wish our dear smokers be a little sensitive towards other citizens that doesn’t want to inhale 2nd hand smoke and die of cancer. Malaysia government should seriously look into implementing anti-smoking laws like Singapore and Hong Kong.

My husband is also a smoker but he seems to know my disliking and only smokes at smoking area and not in front of me. However, sometimes I find the after smoking smell is equally unbearable. Is it only me reacting this way? What about you?
