We Grieve, We Pray, We Remember

This month has not treated me any better than it should. All I can do is drown myself in my musics while working and at home, hug my little baby tightly. By now, the whole world are talking about the crash of MAS airplane MH0017. Hashtag #MH17 and #PrayForMH17 are going on wildly now at all social media. I have my own post on it as well, and this will be my blog post about it.

This year itself, MAS have suffered from the worst aviation incident ever, twice in a year. As we remember, it was the #MH370 which had tragically went missing and not found until now. Nights ago, on July 17th, slightly before midnight, news of MH0017 being shot down near or at Ukraine was all over the world. I couldn't be bothered with pesky news, I definitely wouldn't want to share the pictures.

People, here, I ask all of you to stop sharing those images and respect the privacy of those grieving families and leave them alone, especially you slobbing journalists. I know you people are trying to work, but people are hurting, they are grieving. So please give them a peace of mind, stop pestering these poor souls.

Here, a little short tribute to the lost souls on board:

All set,
Ready to go home,
Ready to go for holiday,
Ready to meet the loved ones,
Ready to spend memorable time with all,

Exhilarated with excitement,
Can't wait for the moment,
The next thing knew,
Everything went black.

Loved ones cried their hearts out,
The souls bleed,
The hearts cracked,
Millions grieved.

Pain stays, only to be numbed,
Prayers given,
Hope goes on,
Faith is that you finds it better to be with God,
Happily and merrily.

Memories were made,
It lives on when those that remember lives,
Memories will be passed on,
Memories will never fade,
We grieve, We pray and We will remember.

Rough weekends...

Last weekend, boyfriend and I planned to go out for a hang out session at Quattro with some friends. However, after dinner at Ampang and when we're on the way to Quattro, we had an unfortunate accident, thanks to some idiot driving recklessly even a goddamn-two-lane-no-speeding road. Everyone knows how Jalan Ampang can be packed with cars and there's always a turning here and there to left or right...

We're on the fast lane at first wanting to move over to the slow lane, wanting to cut a REALLY slow driver when we saw a green Saga Aeroback stopped (not flashing the signal light to turn to the right) quite far off in front. Before we manage to move over to the slow lane, a Kelisa sped out of nowhere on the slow lane, cutting us, speeding to the front and before I know it, the car slammed into the Saga. The driver of the Kelisa wanted to avoid but apparently, due to speeding, he couldn't and as a result of the impact, the Kelisa actually ended up covering our lane and boyfriend couldn't stop fast enough and we hit the Kelisa at the back.

I was scared out of my wits and cried actually. I couldn't believe how scared I was till I calmed down in a friend car (yes, our friend was actually following us from behind and thank god they are far behind). After taking pictures and getting details, we went to the Traffic Police Station at KL and boyfriend made his report. What a disastrous weekend it was for all of us...


That's how bad the car got...I actually bruised my shoulder blade due to the seat belt and if it wasn't for it, I don't know what's gonna happen...

A Bad Month

To begin with, I only took twice train ever since the beginning of this month... Twice, the train broke down... and different train. Well, you can say I had a very bad luck or bad day or whatsoever. First time was the Putra LRT, I worked on the noon shift that time and since it's the LRT, so basically the breakdown was fine. They were quite efficient as there were guards to look out and direct us where to go and which train to stop at for what stations.

But KTM...? Thanks...they just have to breakdown at the after work peak hour at the station after KL Sentral, which is KL station, where the next train to go home is the worse on Tuesday 12th of August around 7:15pm. The train just wouldn't move at KL station and we had to switch platform. They just announce which platform we should take but not clearly mentioning which train is the one heading to Kepong. Another thing is, surprisingly, people tend to be very civilized when they are taking LRT. But when it comes to KTM, even if it's the same bunch of people, they tend to become barbarian. Because of this fact, I missed two train as I knew it's totally impossible to board the next train. However, I thought the amount of people is lesser by the third train, so, I'd just take my luck and board it.

Ended up ? I got pushed around and I lost my phone in the process of trying to kick those barbarians. I had my earphone on with wire stuck on the phone and YET IT IS GONE just like that out of my pocket. Be it it's a pick pocket or it just slipped out, if those people were not being such a barbarian and the train did not breakdown, I would not have lost my precious phone. No more music and picture taking anymore for now. I came home crying and I'm truly traumatized from taking train now. My whole life I've only lost my phone ONCE. It's so unbearable to lose something you paid so much for and love so much. It is also the one thing I can't live without and now, though I'm able to get my number back, I'm unable to get my contacts back. Things are just so unpredictable...

What a barbarian society we have...and lousy maintenance for public transportation...
