Malaysia drops KL-Singapore bullet train projectThe 8 billion ringgit (US$2.5 billion) project, proposed by Malaysian infrastructure and utilities group YTL Corp in 2006, aimed to cut travel time between the two cities to 90 minutes from seven-and-a-half hours presently.
Yay! For faster and more convenience transport to Msia. Not to mention the potential for crime rates to expand exponentially, issues of unfair land acquisition practices, creation of slums, urban decay. Even before the proposal has been confirmed, the project is doomed to fail really; looking at the vagueness of the “high costs” involved as well as the obviously flippant statements made.
“Oh, high cost, that’s why it’s not considered” It’s hard to want to believe such brief, sweeping statements. Nothing is cheap nowadays, that’s for sure. But we’re all trying to deal with it. So let’s postpone… say 3 years. For everyone to just pick up and be economically powerful again, will this seamless means of transport ever be realized then?
ANYWAY! I lust after
these for the inner rock chick in everyone. LUST (:

Okay this I very weird but do you have stereotypes attached to things/people that you can’t seem to shake off? I do and it’s concerning the toilets at SCS, and I’m not even talking about the “haunted” one. Hehe.
So.. The first cubicle (which is unfortunately stuffed with toilet paper and I suspect, traces of blood…. It was so gross I didn’t want to take a second look) is known to me on clean, normal days as the superior, VIPs, VVIPs toilet. This is not totally untrue. I find the toilet paper there of higher quality, not the wipe-your-ass-with-sandpaper quality. There are like rolls of paper somewhat discretely chucked on the back for the uppity class. Those are the rolls of paper you should take. Not that I’ve ever tried. I’m not deserving enough. HAHAHAH!
The second cubicle is known as the commoner’s cubicle. Enough said, it’s just common. Nothing damningly wrong, paper is reasonably rough yet not sandpaperish.
The third cubicle is … the one with the shifting toilet seat. Not good if you’re heavy and clumsy like me. AHHA. People who are in the know *winkwink* will secretly silently sniggered when they hear the familiar sound of the user’s bum sliding across as the latch fails yet again to hold the seat in the correct position. All this people would have been victims as well lah so… nothing much to laugh at *sniggers*
The last being a squat for me la, it for people in a rush just use or desperate... or they view it similarly to the more comfortable one. This viewpoint astounds me! Because they’re vastly different things in terms of comfort level! Nooooo way. Ugh.
Okay and there goes my insanely mundane and random observation of life.
Not been posting stuff up due to insane social schedule *sniggersnigger*
and my stomach's been acting up. Like giving me the most painful reminders to I-don't-know.. eat regularly or something. Just when I started being all healthy and sporty. BAAAAAAH. Will keep my (imaginary) readers updated on my health status...
Like you know, when I faint, you guys can laugh... that sort of thing?
LOL. I certainly hope not. Time certainly flies; I'm ending work soon.
Very quickly, I'll be in Uni
Then we'll see if I do well there a not, not only academically but in other aspects as well.
Then I'll graduate
Then I'll find a job
Then Then THEN THEN THEN!
I don't really know. I just know I have someone to thank someone who has stuck by me. Literally! Tic Tac box... You know who you are ;)
