What's the point??!!!!!

Sometimes I just don't understand the government. I understand why the citizen were so happy when the government provides public transportation for it's citizens. Like, they provided hundreds of buses for the public to use (I wonder where they get the budget to get so many buses). However, little did the citizens know that among those hundreds of buses, only a few tens that are on duty. While the OTHERS ARE JUST FOR SHOW!!!!!! WHY? WHY???!!! Dear government, why spend so much money on public transportation when you're just gonna let few buses driven on the road. WHAT'S THE POINT OF PROVIDING SO MANY WHEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET FEW TO GO ON DUTY.

Not to mention there's once where I waited for almost 2 hours just for one freaking bus to come. I was stupid enough to believe that every bus, the government provided will have a good service. BUT WHO AM I KIDDING??!!! This is Malaysia, we do things the abnormal way. When they say "the bus will be arriving in 20 minutes, HEH, might as well multiply it by 2x!!!

Next chapter:

It's coming to an end. It's been 14 weeks already. The end of another semester for me. Well, my time as a first year has ended. I'm gonna be a second year student for the next coming semester. I can't wait to be a senior, it's not like I'll be recognizable as a senior. *sigh* So many things happened and I've experienced many moments as well let it be good or bad. Most of it I would recall as bad memory, but if your life wasn't roller-coaster enough where's the fun? One thing is for sure that I've developed more bad habits than the good one. The older I get, the naughtier I am. Guess some part of me just wanna stay like a kid while my consciousness told me I should move on and be more mature. I try not to be melancholy here but it just happens this nostalgic moments where we all had a flashback what has been going on, how it affected us, and how we gonna bring ourselves up in the future. I'm here, still on my journey of my life, wondering which route will I take this time when come across a junction. I don't expect much what will I find or encounter during my journey, I just want an adventure. Perhaps, I'll just look forward what lies ahead this route. Another adventure BEGINS!!!

man and machine . science

Recently, my roommate is having problem with her laptop and printer. Well, it's the mid-term of the semester already, everybody in feeling tense. Some of these tension just got the best of you. So, when technology doesn't work for my roommate, especially the printer, she'll literally just hit them without a second thought.
It's normal that when some people is very frustrated, they wanna let it out. It's very common. But, it still surprised me that my roommate would actually hit her own printer. Despite saying that she pay one hell of a money for the printer, she keeps on hitting it until I think she going to smash the printer to pieces.

However, I wonder if she know that hitting the printer will not solve the problem or in any case might make the printer more damaged? Hitting it won't solve the problem as what she's hitting is the outer shell of the printer as I would say. The inner components are protected and these components are what making your printer gone wrong. I wish I could tell her that but with her condition right now I'm afraid she'll throw it back at me saying "do I look like an engineer to you?". Might as well just keep it to myself.

Whenever a gadget or a machine broke, I always wondered what caused it to damaged? I'm no engineer but it's sometimes interesting to look at the components that's inside. All you could see was colourful wires, connectors, transistors, those tiny little electronic chip, and they are all connected to a board, metally-glued together. All of these components are arranged nicely together and you can't see the problem. In my case, I would think the problem must the electricity flow in the components that are not working well but I won't know the truth anyway. Sometimes the damage is so complicated that even an engineer can't figure out what's going on.

There is one thing made me think that machines can communicate with us. Not mentioning about robots but a daily machine or gadgets. Sometimes you thought something is damaged, you call someone to fix it. But somehow it magically works well again when the repairman is here. One time, I wanted to watch movies, and no matter how many times I insert the DVD, the player just won't run the CD for me and it had happen many times. I get my father immediately to check the player when that happens. I try showing my dad the player won't run the CD. To my surprise, everytime I call my father, the player works well again. Its like with my father's presence, the player work well just fine. Here I am thinking, "dear DVD player, I'm your master's daughter and you're defying my orders. Are you rebelling against me?"

Technology and machines. Their functional components are just so complicated I don't think I would understand them 1000% even if I'm an engineer. Much like to our brains. What goes on inside my head is always a mystery. I guess that makes us even, Machines. We have no idea how each of your brain works.
