Kiasu people

the extremely short topic today is about kiasu malaysians (because i have class in 10 minutes).i am writing this because i am particularly unhappy about the way my photostated repro book just vanished into thin air yesterday.

i was careless enough to leave the book in audi. no wonder i had a nagging feeling something was not right. and there i was, happily watching the simpsons. when i was about to mop the house last night, i then realised i left it in the hall. so there i was sprinting all the way back to imu to get it, only to realise some idiot had already taken it. if someone gives me back the book today i am happy. if not, it just reflects how sad imu students are. we pay lots of dosh to be here, but we can't even afford to photostate our own stuff. Which brings me back to the story of my friend who lost her labcoat at the library cubicle. why anyone would want to steal a labcoat that's probably loaded with tons of germs, saliva and dirt is a mystery to me.
i suggested to my friend that probably the person is a labcoat collector. if not, the person probably thinks that having 4 labcoats is just not enough. one has to have 5, for each day of the week!
i am also happy to report that i have been busy spreading the flu virus all across kl. particularly at the lrt stations and in sg. wang. just doing my duty of being a vector.
