Wasted Saturday!

What a waste of a beautiful Saturday...

Wanted to go out and treat myself to something nice but I woke up late due to last night's stupid funfair ride that made me end up feeling dizzy and nauseous up until this moment of writing this entry. Wanted to go for my evening jog but this headache has been pounding on my head thanks to last night's ride.

And I am not feeling good emotionally as well. Some other person's bad mood has successfully infected me.

Anyway after that uneventful ride that got me all pening-pening lalat, I got to sit at a corner while waiting for my sisters and brother enjoying themselves on other rides and eat funfair food of cold nuggets-on-a-stick, chewy keropok lekor and stale iced Milo (which I might give in and indulge thus spoiling my diet should I not feeling vomit-like). And so I sat at a corner a bit far from the excited crowd with their head hung up in the sky toiling back and forth following the motion of the tall rides at the same time basking in the distasteful and deafening of at least 6 dance and trance music blasting simultaneously.

Oh gosh, my headache and nausea got worse just by sitting there. But anyway I got to watch the crowd filled with mostly young teenagers in groups spending away their Friday night. I know I have seen today's teenagers everywhere, last night was not the first time that I get to look at them closely and think about the situation that they are in. Hm I am not talking about the cool fashion trend that they get to don in and get away without people sniggering behind their back. I am more worried about the their future, what's with the current economic backlash.

If you Google “unemployed graduates” you’ll find a string of blogs, news archives relating to Malaysian unemployed graduates. According to a source, there are 60,000 unemployed Malaysian graduates. Wow, that's a lot. Hmm I wonder whether that number tops the total UiTM students, the one and only university in Malaysia that has a branch like, everywhere.

There are some quarters who sympathize with these graduates and even blame corporate companies for not making available more opportunities. The numbers are crazy, ridiculous and ludicrous – as is all the sympathy being showered on these graduates. As the number increases, the attitude and ability of the graduates go downhill. Which I totally agree. Myself I do mingle with students, not through job but it so happens that my brother and boyfriend are undergraduates themselves. And many of my friends are either studying or just graduated.

I do agree that a small percentage of the students possess highly sought-after skills and have the right attitute to go with it. But the majority are just there at the university with no other objectives and life missions than just to melawa, melaram, mencari teman hidup dan menggedik. Ohoho believe me please, I have witnessed the scenario and became a victim of the situation myself.

These kids, shameful enough being born close to a quarter of a century already but not able to carry a decent conversation. And you call yourself a degree student? When they talk, it's all empty you can even hear the clanking of a tin kosong. Siap diselang-selikan oleh perkataan-perkataan yang tak sedap telinga didengar. Yes, that includes the F word. They think they are so cool to utter the F word.

Call me whatever you want but I am so sick of those kids who have got nothing better to do than pose cutely and self-snap themselves with a digital camera or a camera phone. That's their daily activities in the university. Apart from the abovementioned. Tak malu betul nak act cute and let the rest of the world to see how poyo you are. The sad thing is, people actually think they are cute and start telling their partners to act/ wear/ pose/ have similar hairdo.

These kids they may have the looks, but no brains.

Hmm you must be wondering what possessed me again this time to write such an hateful and anger-filled entry. Maybe the fact that I am disappointed with myself not to fill in such a lovely Saturday with better things to do.

Anything can happen

You can be caught off-handed anytime nowadays if you're oblivious to your surroundings. When you have grown into your little familiar world, you know every bird chirpings and rustle of wind, you are very wrong when you feel that you're safe.

That's what I used to think. Until my house got broken into last night.

Even though we were all scared and frustrated that the incident happened, we were all very thankful to God that at least we are all safe and breathing. Not slaughtered off like those unfortunate souls you tend to read about everyday in the news.

We think that this is a dugaan from Allah SWT, and we can only pray that the incident won't happen again, semoga Allah menggantikan dengan ganjaran yang lebih baik nikmatnya daripada apa yang telah diambil oleh-Nya.

The valuables that we have lost away to that rotten fella who broke in, mungkin semua itu ditakdirkan untuk hanya dipinjamkan sementara kepada kita. Tak ada rezeki nak simpan lama-lama. Subhanallah.
