Signboard War, Traffic Light Overgrowth and Dysfuntional Government

The pearl of the orient. The food paradise. Wat else?? Penang used to be a great place. Well, it is STILL a great place, just not as great. Penang distinctive feature used to be food. There is hawker stall everywhere, n i mean it.... EVERYWHERE. Nowadays, the only thing dat u can find anywhere here in penang is, signboard, promoting certain sumthing, or telling where u can get sumthing, or just a plain meaningless signboard. Whether big or small, it is just everywhere. In all shapes, n all sizes. Honestly, im beginning to wonder wad does dis signboard actually do, beside wasting space and being an eyesore dat is...

The 2nd things dat is appearing unnecessary all over penang is traffic light. It is ALMOST impossible to get through a straight stretch of road without being stop by another traffic light. I knoe i ve whining bout dis b4, but seriously, it sux. I mean it. U patiently wait for 1 traffic light to turn green, just to realise as soon as u move, there is another traffic light! N conveniently, dis 2nd traffic light, is RED!!! WTH IS DAT!!!!??? There is traffic light aparts every few meters. There is traffic light in a big junction. There is traffic light in tiny little junction. There is traffic light in the middle of a hill. For all u knoe, sooner or later, there will be traffic light in front of every houses!

Wat is dis all about?? o.0

Recently, i just came back from a very very high place. Around few thousand feets above sea lvl. A casino cum themepark resort in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain. Yup, im talking bout genting. Actually, dis has been my 2nd visit dis year around, lolx. So basically, there isnt anything special anymore. Dis time around, i tried wad i did get to try out on my earlier visit. Then, went kl. Dis sum shopping. Lotz of shopping as the matter of fact. Haha. Anyway, life hv been on the slow side at late. Namely, i m usually just at home all the time. Other than helping my dad, im pretty much sitting at home doing nothing. Not dat i cant go out. I was asked to go out pretty frequently. But i turn down all of it. Y? Coz i prefer rotting at home mayb?? Anyway, the last sunday, which was yesterday, i did went out (after so long. lolx) to go bj. I wanted to reformat my com. Erm, actually, i NEED to reformat my com after sum careless mistakes (due to being extra lazy from all the rotting) n i accidentally delete a few....several infact, of sum critical windows files. So, there u hv it, my com wouldnt even run properly.
So i go out wif my fren, get the xp boot disc i needed. It was windows xp sp3. Big mistake. BIG DARN MISTAKES. Turns out dat xp sp3 is very VERY HIGHLY unstable. So, a lot of my shit was unsable, namely, my MSN(WLM), YM, SKYPE, SAFARI and even the codecs is operating funny. So yeah, technically, all my messenger programs is down atm. Good shit, huh??

Well aside from yesterday, im pretty much rooted at home.

Topic for 2day is Customer VS Girlfriend
Dis topic struck to me, like a sudden occurence, while i was, as u hv guess it, pretty much laying down on my bed lifelessly. As we proceed further, we will discuss several issues dat deal with customers and girlfriend, and we can notice dat, HEY!, they r similar down to a certain aspect. So without further ado, i present u......

Customer VS Girlfriend
Round 1
Customer complains a lot. So does girlfriend. Both of them complain about every little things. The different is, customer could only complain as long as u r still in ur working hours. Girlfriend, on the other hand, complain all the time, 24/7, without stopping. Customer complain on wat u arent doing rite. Girlfriend, well, pretty much, they just complain. Also, you are PAID to handle a customer's complain correctly. If your girlfriend is complaning, then u r PAYING for wat u didnt do correctly.
Round 2
Customer is always right. Girlfriend is always right too. Ntg much can be said of this. You are the loser here no matter wat. So just suck it up.
Round 3
You can date your customer, or ur customer's sister, or best friend, or if ur customer is a guy, u can try to make a move on his gf, or daughter, or partner, or even his wife (providing u r dat much of a scumbag). On the other hand, you ARE dating ur girlfriend. N if u try to pull any moves on her sister, or best friend, or pretty anybody else dat is associated wif her, then u r doom.
Round 4
Customer gives you sales, which in return, gives u money. Girlfriend, on the other hand, go to a sales to spend UR money.
Round 5
Lastly, if you screw(scold) ur customer, u r as good as dead meat. If you screw your girlfriend, well, i ll leave dat to ur imagination =P
