I always wondered what lies at the end of the rainbow. It seems to stretch from one end of the horizon to the other, like a semi-circle. What lies at the end? Perhaps there is a god created nozzle that spurts the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet combination. Or perhaps... There might be something more interesting... Something controversial...
Hey guys,
Sometime back in late August, I mentioned I'll be sharing with you the stuff I bought from Ah Boy over at Kelantan Lane. Well, it was supposed to be the following post, but I kinda procrastinated and had trouble finding a camera to take the pictures. On top of that, photoshopping them and cropping it to make it look presentable. hehehe. My apologies.
And so I went to Ah Boy on a rainy day...
They're not like the typical shop where you'll be greeted and ask you if you need anything. Rather, they're too busy tending to calls, old time customers and the like. I was kinda hesitant to buy considering their poor customer relation skills.
But all turned well when I approached one of their staff who helped me out choosing a raincoat that suits my budget. One thing I learned was to state your budget clearly to them so they can recommend you something. Everything in the shop is kept in storage and if you fancy something, they'll get you a new one from deep inside.
Turns out, they're a friendly bunch. Like there is a brotherhood feeling going on as bikers. heheh. Helmets are displayed prominently at the store front, so it was kinda easy. Just pick one, ask for the price, and pay.
My raincoat was priced at $40, and helmet, at $75. Somehow, after much haggling and negotiation, I got both at $90. I don't know if that was a steal or what, but it seems like a fair price to me. And after riding in the rain for countless of times, I think I need a mini-raincoat for my shoes too!
Hey hey... This topic suddenly popped out of nowhere and I think after countless 'unrelated to my life' entries, this should be a good topic to begin with.
What are the misconceptions people have on me? What misleads the majority into thinking that I am what they think I am? Since I am the person who they have a misconception on, perhaps I can answer these questions.
Firstly... Most think that I'm righteous, morally correct or easily said, pious or religiously inclined. It is flattering, but I am definitely not 100%. I'd safely say, 10% is true, and the remaining 85%, you make a guess. I miss prayers once in a while. Truthfully, I miss them when I'm outside, playing games, or too engrossed with the current activity I'm involved in. Oh well... There's an inifinite room for improvement for myself. heheh. I'm quite open in terms of religious belief.
Secondly... People perceive that the moment I reach home, I'll be at my table, mugging away. Lolx. That is so not true. The moment I reach home, I either sleep, eat, or use the computer for reasons other than studying. I don't do tutorials. lolx!!! Ask my poly buddies lah... Out of 14 tutorials, I'll only attend 3, and do only 2 tutorials.
Thirdly... People think I'm stuck up. Okay, there is truth in this myth because I tend to keep my thoughts to myself and can be quiet most of the time. But like all people who are considered stuck-up, we can be quite a conversationalist at times. Its all up to the clique.
Fourthly... Perceived as a master of all trades. Lolx! That is definitely not true. I'm just human and can never be a master in all disciplines. Jack of all trades? Perhaps. But there are some disciplines that I need major improvement such as the emotional quotient, psychology, business and perhaps biology and medicine.
Fifth... I'm stubborn. Okay, I am stubborn only if that party cannot explain to me effectively the reason for choosing another solution, or perhaps, the solution that the other party has, is done that way because that's the way things are and we shouldn't change it. Lolx. For the latter part, I'm trying to be flexible with it as I go on to NTU as there are somethings which you can't understand and have to follow the way things as it is. So yeah, if you have a better idea, explain to me why, how, what, and you'll soon find out I'm not as hard-headed as you think I am. heh
There are a lot of other misconceptions, and some will never be discussed due to its sensitive nature. However wise Mr Wise Guy gets, he'll never be the WISEST guy on Earth. Have fun, and do not take life so seriously. Else, you'll die young!
Its 1130 and I'm home!
Can't take it man, there's no place to study in school in private, and there'll always be somebody who'll stumble upon me. heh. So I've decided to come home and do some preperations for my next lessons.
Next lesson, 1330 hours!
