Talking-bad time

Due to the bad investment I made recently (Read: Airasia flight), I am suddenly feeling the urge to earn money. Money out out out, no money in, me quite upset. Though technically, I am not working yet, but that feeling when the $ in your saving account keeps on reducing, no one likes it, urrrgh.

Airasia I hate you arrghghghgh. The price fluctuation goes like this: 999 -> 1099 -> 999 -> 849 -> 749 -> 849 -> 999 -> 1099 -> fluctuates between 999 & 1099 --> 1249 -> 1099 -> 999 regardless of how many seats left. The best price seems to be offered around 6pm to 10pm. I am so free to observe this trend right? Holiday, what to do. After observing for a month then I got nervous due to the fact that there weren't many seats left for the flight I wanted, so when it was 1249 I just thought I should buy it, who knows if it would go up again. Oh yeaaah. The next day it dropped to 1099 then today it is 999. It is the apps that I installed, keeps on showing me the best price of the day (自找气受之 apps). It makes me feel bad because for the price I paid, that price under today's condition, is entitled to get complimentary seat selection and baggage allowance. I got nothing loh. Hard to not be frustrated. If only I waited for 1 more day. Ooouh, investments need patience (lesson learnt).

Like what every body says, budget airlines, you either love them or hate them (This sentence should be filed as an idiom in the Modern World Dictionary, authored by the Internet). The only really good experience with budget airline I experienced is the Singaporean Scoot. I was late for check-in for a flight from Sydney to Singapore, late for a few minutes. I was running with my luggage as the check-in counter for Scoot was the farthest away from where I entered the departure hall. The mistake was totally on me, being late (Part of me wanted to blame the bus to the airport which stopped at e-v-e-r-y single bus stop and somehow at each station freaking a lot of people had to go down and go up the bus). But still I was very lucky. The counter was closed but there were still 1 or 2 staffs there, I basically ran there with my luggage and a very sad face. The guy said he couldn't check me in, but he could check whether he could move me to tomorrow's flight. He checked for only a few minutes and said, yeah, I have moved you to tomorrow's flight, please don't be late again. Woaaah. Thank you so very much, I will never be late ever again (for every other flight onward).

If this was Airasia, this would not be the outcome. I was very surprised, because I wasn't charged any money. Just, maybe I got lucky because Scoot was really new that time. They only started their operation for a few weeks. Since I missed the flight that day, I also missed my connecting flight (Read: Airasia flight) from Singapore to KL. Of course I could not do anything about that, if it is Airasia, you are better off buying a new ticket than attempting to change the flight date. Good news is, I managed to get $5 tax back (can get a cup of coffee, slurp).

Frustration needs to be vented heh, in this case it is not like I could blame anyone except myself. But still, due to the recent event in which Airasia canceled my sis's and cousin's flight due to 'commercial reasons', I am starting to have a bad feeling regarding this airline (My Korean friend, whenever she heard of Airasia, just shook her head and said, 'never again'.)

In the future, I really wish for more competitors in this industry.

Speechless? Not yet!

There will always be barbarians running in the country who are still stuck in the stone age.
I could imagine talking to them is like talking to drunkards.

Drunkards: "No no no, you don't understand, so just shut up".
Yeah. Goodluck talking to these people.

I guess this is my strongest vent yet?
These people will never learn, because they never question. Questions are out of the question. If you brace yourself and look at how some people responded, as the internet always puts it, you do lose part of your "trust in humanity".

How to ensure one's loyalty to his country? Fairness. Security. Welfare.
If these are not done enough, the things that keep one's foot still in the country are just the nostalgic feeling, bonds, kinship and responsibility felt within oneself.

However, disappointments chip away these things, bits by bits.

I am so...lucky?

What is the odds of drawing random lines without measuring the distances between them (like above), then you measure them from point 1 to point 2 straight, you get a round number (in mm) to the accuracy of 2 decimal places?

I got a number 0f 14000.00.
Fourteen thousand, point zero zero.
What the hell.

I was drawing lines using 3D modelling software therefore the result is very accurate.
What is the probability of getting this result? I guess no one in the world will be so very free to calculate the probability in this kind of situation. (Astrid, where are you?)

If only this chance could happen on other occasions.

飘荡。

似乎，一年里面，大半时间心都处于那正与负空间的微妙中间。
没有特别自信的时候，没有特别颓废的时候。

可是，每次开学的时候，思想心情的指针是偏向负的。 还没真正开始，就颓废了。
一直告诉自己，要珍惜现在，时间不留人。可是这原来不是问题。
问题是自己的时间似乎在某些时候就一直停滞，没有再上前。时间观念也出了差错，浮浮沉沉的。

不像以前那般积极，兴趣也似乎一件一件地遗失了，残存的只是想象中的热忱 ，说服自己有一些东西还是留在原地的，可以回去再捡起来。牛角尖，一直钻啊钻。真的觉得自己在某些方面困住了钻不出去。

还是，其实大家都如此吗？所以大家都喜欢旅行啊之类的吧。旅行会让人产生错觉，觉得自己毫无压力也可过得很充实，所以才往往让人回味无穷。现在觉得这种感觉真的很危险。

还是，见闻不广，身在福中不知福，所以习惯把一点小事放大几千倍来观察？习惯了一个人，真的不太好。由于很多事情都必须自己解决，有什么事情都会觉得说出来有什么用，到最后还不是得自己解决。其实解决事情事小，心里慢慢失去平衡才是大事。

距离上一次有明确目标的时候，已经是八年前的事情。那时候的目标很简单，就是考好重要的试。然后，事情好像也很顺利，应该也没什么好埋怨的。只是，内心从此没有充实过，失望的事情一大堆。

我想，在这里没有归属感才是最大原因吧。希望，有一些东西，还是留在原地的。

2005 的着迷。

2007 的心血来潮。现在看回去，有点怪怪的。
