This is the time of my life.. busy thinking how to pay back my study loan!

OMG! Life really goes by so fast and now I'm stuck with paying back my PTPTN loan! I paid RM200 lately last month (August) and when I checked my latest payment on the internet, that RM200 was just enough to pay the accumulating interest. The interest of the loan starts at RM50 per month and decreases until zero if paid every month until the loan is totally finished payed.

I was supposed to start paying the loan on the month of May 2010. Oh damn! With financial problems now, it is quite hard to settle the loan. Haha, don't worry, I ain't gonna take loan from loan sharks. :p

Oh yes, I wanted to mention here about something that happened just recently. I got hit by a car last Wednesday! Well, I was in the car actually. haha.

Left rear brake lamp, broken! Hit by a car!

I couldn't tell the details; well actually it all went by really fast. I just let him go because I have a movie to attend in 10 minutes! All that I can remember is:

Sex: Male
Age: Mid 20's
Origin: Chinese descent
Appearance: Chubby/Classy
Car: Something like Alphard (White)

My friend said that he was on the phone before when and after hitting me. When he went out of the car, he put his phone inside his pant's pocket. Lucky you, I didn't ask for payment. I was a bit regretful though. haha. To change the brake lamp, it cost RM80 (both rear lamp).

At least I enjoyed the Step Up 3D movie! oh yeah! Great movie!! See it in 3D if possible!! Love the casts too. All of them are great dancers!

About cars

I've been driving my mother's Perodua Kancil Ex660 since I got my driving license in 2007. In mid 2009, before my South East Asia Tour with my former band, Outfall (www.myspace.com/nbmc_outfall), I used my big sister's car, the Proton Wira.

Somehow, everytime I used her car, I always have something wrong happen to me.
1. The headlights were broken, probably due to parking.
2. The hood has a small bengkok part which might be caused by parking behind of a Hilux or something similar that has the pull thingy at the back of the vehicle.
3. The alignment went bad before my South East Asia Tour.
4. The front right window (the driver's side) collapsed, resulting in difficulty to wind up. In the end I went for help from my former bandmate, Fabian Junior @ Jun since he is a car technician at that time. Thanks Jun!

All of this happen in 2 weeks. how bad could thing be? An accident? Damn. Its like I was cursed not to use that car. Even the fuel consumption is bad. RM20 for every 100km? I can achieve RM10 for every 100km with a Perodua Kancil.

Right now, I'm thinking of getting a scooter, although my parent might say no. They said no since 2007. It's probably because of the safety of riding a scooter. Its dangerous. Many heavy vehicles are on the road here in Sabah.

A travelling agony in Sepanggar area in Kota Kinabalu district. Sabah. (January 2010)

It is a usual Tuesday morning when I woke up. I get myself and all my things ready for college. I left house at 10:03am (expecting to reach college before 11:00am.) and head out towards the bus stop which is actually nearer in displacement than its distance (fuh! seriously, it is a bug u-turn.).

So I was waiting for the bus (my house is at the Custom Quarters Complex, at the entrance of Sepanggar Road from Menggatal or Telipok. Hence I have to take a bus to go out from my current location to the other bus stop where the Sepanggar buses stops). There were probably 3 full mini buses that has passed me by. The bus stop I'm headed to is just 1.5km away. Exactly around 10:28am, there was a bus that was half empty (yay!). At last, after a 25 minutes of wait! If I walked from home, I could reach the bus stop in 15 minutes!

Ok, first problem solved. Now waiting for the bus heading to the city, Kota Kinabalu. Instead of stopping by the bustop I was headed, I headed further up to stop at the next bustop hoping to get on the bus earlier than those at the bus stop I intended to stop at first. Well, my plan worked! But the bus only came at 10:42am! At least I get to sit down. That was 20 minutes for waiting the next bus to the city.

This wasn't the case last year, when the bus system changed. After the changes occured, less busses were drawn towards Sepanggar every month. It was 10:00am, yet there were still people congestion at bus stops.

I reached the city at 11:10am. So I was late for class. I decided to head for electronic scavenging.
