D's driving on the highway mad me nervous. As we were heading back to kajang from ipoh D was averaging about 120km/hr. I could feel the car vibrating sideways.
Young people don't know and appreciate the dangers of speeding on the highway. They don't realise that the safety of the whole family is in their hands. I am so disappointed and upset at his behavior. D has turned into a brash, arrogant and impatient teenager, the type who is always thinking about himself before others.
I have been a teenager before but I don't recall behaving like D. I was always respectful of the elders and treat others with consideration.
I guess times and expections change from one generation to the next. What was considered as rude and arrogant behavior in my generation is now consider normal behavior in today's me generation.

25 Hour wrist watch
Won a wrist watch during the lucky draw at the ZL Sports Club annual dinner. Never heard of this brand of watch called 25 hours before. Thought it was a cheap watch until someone remarked that this type of watch sells for at least RM200.00. It felt heavy and solid in my palm, unlight the one that I am now wearing.

Hari Raya Haji
Tue
Today is Hari Raya Haji, a public holiday. Even though a public holiday, I went to the office to work as usual. I was the only person from the structure section working. Thayalan didn't come although yesterday he said that he would. I was not surprise that he chose to stay away. Towards 3pm Ganesh came in to work awhile.
Did some errands in the morning before going in the office. Early in the morning took Anna and Amy to town. Amy wanted to take a passport size photograph. I wanted to deposit some cash into RHB bank and also withdraw some money from Public Bank. The cash machine at RHB bank refused to accept my cash deposit. Probably the machine has malfunctioned.
At Public Bank withdrew RM800.00
11.30am. JayaJusco Tmn Maluri. Already queuing at the end of a long line of customers at the cashier. After some explanation, the cashier agreed to remove the plastic tag from the shirt.

Booking a hotel room for CNY
Sun
Made enquiries concerning room rates at several Ipoh hotels. The better class hotels charge high rates for their rooms. Hotel Exselcior even asked me to settle payment in full by 1/15/06 before confirming the booking. The price at Fairpark hotel is reasonable but the rooms are available at the old wing. Anna wasn't too please to stay in the old wing. Finally settled for Hotel Seri Malaysia. We have been staying in this hotel during all the previous Chinese New Years.
12.30pm. Jaya Jusco Tmn Maluri. Bought more than RM200 worth of clothing and furnishing. This time round Anna managed to find a door curtain that was agreeable to her in design and pricing.

INTi Aikido. 1st class of 2006
Wed
About 5 people showed up for training. Mr Hong turned up much to my surprise. He is middle age, about 50 maybe.
The canteen was rather empty and there was no student activity to be found. Compare to previous years, the student centre appeared devoid of students. Where are all the new students? Has INTi lost it's popularity as one of the better private colleges around?
This year I see more African students than other foreign nationalities.

New year in Bentong. Ah Fatt's 60th year anniversary dinner
Sun
Today is the first day of 2006. Spent the morning and afternoon attending Ah Fatt's 60th year anniversary dinner in Bentong. Beside Anna, Amy also tag along to Bentong.
In Bentong we had ice kachang at the famous ice kachang store near the bus station. Forgot the name of the shop. Anyway didn't find the ice kachang so fantastic. However I was amaze to find the place packed with customers from all races and age.
The dinner started at 7.30pm. It was over by 9.30pm. Even though it was raining decided to return to Kajang rather than staying in Bentong over the night. Luckily no untoward incident happen despite the traffic and the heavy downpour.
Due to the steep and winding road I am never comfortable driving to Bentong. I feel very tense on the road whenever it rains, especially when I am heading down hill.
