709

Yo, what's up everybody, it's me, Recca here. What is 709? If you're a Malaysian, you must know it, mustn't you? It refers to 9th of July, which was the date I went to Kuala Lumpur to continue my study after the two-week break.

On this day, quite a number of people demonstrated on the street. However, they were all defeated by the policemen. Some of them even were caught or jailed. My family was worried about me so much as they were scared of the incident of 513 to happen again on that day. Nonetheless, it was okay to me because I was there to study, not to participate in that demonstration.

Therefore, when I reached Duta Station (which was different from the station which I usually use, Puduraya Station as the station and many of the roads and highways were blocked), a policeman asked me who was I waiting for. His name was Hady, brought a handgun with him while the other one was holding of sub-machine gun, model 32 in Counter-Strike Condition Zero version. I replied him that I was waiting for my family. Then he asked where did I stay. He said I was better to take the RapidKL which was waiting for passengers and switch for Monorail and change to Star LRT in order to go to my cousin's house. However, I brought so many bags there and hence I refused by saying that I wanted to wait for them to pick me up. He humiliated me by pointing to his watch saying that there was already 7:30p.m..

Luckily, my uncle came to fetch me about 15 minutes later. Then I teased him back by saying:" Mereka dah sampai, tapi lu mia bas masih tunggu, haha..." He just smiled. My uncle was fast because he was a lorry driver who knew almost all the roads in Peninsular Malaysia. Even though most of the roads were blocked, he still could find an alternative way to come.

To me, government should not against the demonstration because they always speak publicly that they are always willing and ready to listen to people. Nonetheless, what they showed me was the opposite. I support demonstration as long as they don't break the public facilities and infrastructures or even cause damages. This kind of demonstration is very common in overseas. This can act as a way to convey the message to the government but it won't work in Malaysia.

After the TARc visit on Tuesday, I went to visit my ex-colleagues on Wednesday. We chatted a lot and had an enjoyable lunch together. I drank the so-called 古早味 white coffee in office but the white coffee was no long the Old Town white coffee or Mocha which I used to drink. As usual, my boss went back earlier but suddenly he called me to help him solving a mathematics calculation related to triangle and the degree within it (it was called pythagorous thereom if I'm not mistaken) because he needed to know it to make a tender for a project. I found it difficult since I had 'returned' the formula to my teacher but I could solve it at last. However, I needed a scientific calculator. There was no scientific calculator available, so I just made an estimation for it. Luckily Steffi's brother helped us and it showed that my estimation was not different too far from the exact answer.

At night, I gathered with my primary school's friends, Sam and C.T.H. by having dinner at Straits Quay. This was Sam and my first time there. After that, we moved to the new Tesco nearby and we met Y.C.H. our role student of the year during our graduation ceremony. Then, we went for pool. C.T.H. always doubts me as a new bird after seeing how I play. Honestly, that was just my forth time (if I'm not wrong) playing pool so far. I don't lie to my friends one, so trust me! Later, we went to 洗布桥 to have our supper.

Thursday, I was so glad to play badminton with my friends. Anthony, Sam and Kee attended. I parted with an uncle to fight against the two youths who were under training with a coach. We lost 2-1 but this was my first time to win them with a score of 21-15. I asked my friend whether did he win them before but he said no. Thus, I was so excited to win them once even though this might be the only once in my lifetime because the closest score before that was 17-21. Nonetheless, the another uncle's attitude towards my friend, Anthony was disgusting me a lot. I was so furious about it and I wanted to revenge so much! I want to train and win his son all the times to show him that he needs to change his behaviour.

I watched Pirate of Caribbean-On the Stranger Tides with my Tailo on Friday in WCinemax of Island Plaza. What a coincidence, this was our first time been there even though it has been there for years. We had a bad first impression as the road was designed to be one-way and we found it very difficult to reach our destination. Even though the directory showed the cinema was on Level 4. We still had to go up one floor using the stairs after reaching Level 4 by lift. This was totally insane!

We were late due to massive traffic jam in the rain, especially on the road of PCGHS, those from Penang, I believed that you knew what I was talking about. We initially planned to watch at 12:30p.m. but it was already 1p.m. when we reached there. Therefore, we booked the ticket for 3:15p.m. session. We headed to KFC to have our lunch because my Tailo said the KFC in USA didn't offer spicy flavour. We chatted in the KFC, too bad that KFC didn't offer free drinks refill service. He showed me his iPod and taught me a lot of things.

Later, we moved to Cold Storage at the basement. We were walking without any direction and motive while chatting. He told me lots of his story in USA. When it was almost timed, we headed to the cinema. Before we entered, we ordered a popcorn with his free voucher. There were just we two in the cinema for the first half an hour. Before the movie started, there was no audio, thus I scouted out and we didn't switch off or silent our cell phone. Eu Gene called Tailo suddenly and he was so shocked that the whole cinema was occupied by us. Later, two girls entered and another two guys for the subsequent a quarter of time. Thus, the whole cinema just got 6 spectators. This might be due to the old movie.

I admired Jack Sparrow so much and I found that we had the same philosophy. We have our aim and motive but we will accomplish them in a relax way, not like some others who often force themselves to the extreme. We enjoy our life and the process. My Tailo even imitated Jack Sparrow's way of talking and walking. He seemed funny and I liked it.

Saturday, I made myself available to visit my grandpa. He smiled when he saw me. I knew that he always miss me. As usual, he wanted to feed me durians but I refused by giving him a reason that I wanted to have my hair cut after that. He complained me for just visiting him thrice in this two-week time. Sorry, I was really fully occupied!

So this was my two-week holidays' schedule. I didn't study at all and hence I start to regret now after seeing the study texts. I know that I'm far behind from my course mates now but I won't relinquish. For your information, I just managed to get 63 marks for my Business Analysis's mid-term test after the second review by my tutor. The marks were not convincing due to some of my careless mistakes but at least, it let me knew where did I get wrong so that rectification could be made.
