Aggresive people.

Whoa. I SHOULD have been downstairs for the Meet-The-People session with Halimah Yacob! Judging from what my mum told me, the people were all angsty, bringing up relevant issues, etc etc. SO FUN! I LOVE listening to these discussions!

Some guy brought up an issue of the busstop at my place. There has not been ANY form of shelter from the busstop to the back gate of the condo for the past thousand years, so when it rains, have fun la. The guy was pretty angry about it, and Mdm Halimah offered her explanation as calmly as she could possibly can. She said that the government said NO to building any form of shelter to our back gate just BECAUSE it was PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Well, personally, I was appalled by the response of the government to this issue.

Her response sparked off MORE angry responses. People were telling her then, that government should reduce property taxes and income taxes of people living in private property, since the government will NOT be giving us anything. Which would be what I would have said if I was downstairs.

Argh. Money sucking monsters.

Poor Mdm Halimah. Kesian mak Isa. Haha, getting bombarded like that.

But hey! Shes getting paid for it.

Oh wells, something to think about. Anyways, I've been pretty amused by this incident that happened during Thursday's prac. I was at the suction filter thing, settling my crystals and Nat and Khairil joined me. I helped them set up the suction thing, opened the valve all.

Me: Nat! Akunyer lambat seh nak suck. I've been waiting here for it to finish sucking for like 3 thousand years la.

Khairil: Ahhh bedekkk.

Me thinks:Haha, well Wokay khairil, when I've not talked to you before. Haha! Merepek jugak kau eh.

Khairil: Kau puasa tak hari ni?

Me: Puasa lah, abih.

Khairil: Then InsyaAllah ah, it will finish sucking soon.

Me thinks: Haha, this guy IS funny.

So FINALLY after 3 thousand years, the thing finished sucking the filtrate and I HAD to yank the suction tube out from the flask to go back to my fumehood. So I was cautiously twisting the rubber tubing..

Khairil: ah ah (in that I'm-trying-to-scare-you tone) baik baik lah! (as if its going to explode)

When padahal the pump switch was already off.

So I was too amused by this guy and stopped tugging. After which he reached over and yanked the tube out from my flask.

Khairil: Gini ajer lah!

I'm like. Haha, Khairil giler!
