I was chatting with Mie the other day and he told me something that caught my attention instantly. One of his close friends asked him:

Don’t you ever want to get another girlfriend for yourself, beside the one that you already have now? You have admirers here, you know.

Oh man. I’m downright sure that I’m capable to smack hard on his friend’s face if he asks something like that right in front of me. His friend suggested that since I am no where near him. WTF. I think it’s rather rude. No, I’m not going to write down everything on what he replied to that question. I don’t want to get too personal here. All I gotta say, his response made me smile all day. Haha.

The weather in Jakarta nowadays is very unstable. (I couldn’t find any other word to describe it better) It was a very bright sunny day yesterday. Today, it rained quite heavily. The weather fluctuates. Almost everyone in my class is sick. I’m sick. To make it worse, I’m currently having asthma attacks. This isn’t the first time I got the attacks right here in Jakarta. I’ve been asthmatic ever since I was a child. Back then, it was much more severe but it got better as I grew up. I remember that my last attack before I came to Jakarta was like 8 years ago, perhaps? Ever since I came here, I tend to get recurrent attacks and it’s not just me. A lot of my friends who had asthma before also experience the same thing too. Ah, blame the severe air pollution here! Damn.

Everyone’s been talking about the 12th General Election lately. I’ve been refraining myself from sharing my views on political matters but I just couldn’t. I thought I didn’t care at all but now, I’m not so sure myself. I’m not even qualified to vote, well.. just not yet.. I even stayed up till 3.30 am yesterday just to see the result. I had been refreshing the Malaysiakini website for countless of times, just to get the latest news on the result. The first thing that struck me hard was the announcement of “Opposition wins Selangor - 12.25 am”. (I live in Selangor so that’s why I do care.) Yes, I couldn’t believe myself at first.
