I hate... (Part 1)

Different people have different thoughts. I mean, everyone has their own limits and borders in accepting something in life. In my life, there are some negative values that to me are totally unacceptable.

1. Lie
I hate people who talks lies to me. If things are not serious I still can cool down myself and be considerate about the reasons why they lie to me. But when it comes to serious matter, like important points, interpersonal relationships, or anything that is important, I really cannot be Mr. Cool and be considerate. I will not even try to cool down myself. I will not. I don’t know. Guess I just hate people who talks lies and make empty promises and do broken vows. If you really appreciate me as someone that crosses your life, let it be a normal friend, or a great partner or colleague, you will know that no matter how hurting a thing might be, I will always accept them for they are the truth that I will not dare try to run away from. I will not place the faults on someone just because they mistreated me or somehow. But in return I want the truth. If I ever find out that they’re lying to me, well, troubles come. Depends on the situation and my mood, I might can tolerate them, or worst come to worst - they will no longer be friends of mine. What are friends for if they cannot just be honest with you? Scare that the truth will make me do stupid stuffs like suicide or something? Give me a break. I will not die for something which is true. What is the meaning of my death if I commit suicide? It’s not like things will change for me. It’s not like my death will bring any significant to the situation to be better. Death changes nothing. Even if it changes something, by the name of sympathy of other people, we will not be the one to experience the changes. We are already dead. Anyway, don’t try to come to me with lies. You know how I will treat you. If you still want to be in circle of mine, be honest with me.

2. Organization
Personally, I hate events or things that are unorganized. I really dislike words like “we’ll see about it”, “I guess it’ll be fine”, or even “we didn’t prepare for unforeseen circumstances”… it really pissed me off, especially when things are very serious and have to be cautiously handled. And besides, I hate people who do not organize things neatly. Especially when it comes to events or functions, improper and the way those people with “selamba” style really challenge my patience and temper. There was once when I took Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) to Nilai Station which really pissed me off. That was the time when I wanted to go to KLIA for my flight back to Kuching. I departed from Cemara Hostel exactly 2 and ½ hours before my flight. With theory I supposed to reach at KLIA with some tiny time before the check-in gate closes. But on the way the old train broke down, not to mention the slow-crawling speed the train was moving. So, we had to wait in the compartments for quite a long time before we were shifted to the other train. I was so frustrated, because deep in my heart I knew, unless the train sped up, I won’t make it to KLIA in time. It really pissed me off and even the passenger who sat beside me could feel my temper. My mind was dancing. What should I do now? In the end I decided to hop out from the train at the next station and I took a taxi to KLIA whose driver scammed cost me MYR60. It’s really sucked. I was only like 4 or 5 stations (I couldn’t remember exactly…) away from Nilai Station. I asked the driver if it’s possible to give me discount and he replied WtF-ly that they charged the same price no matter who for the same travel. Hell… I didn’t have time to argue about that. If I have the lost time, I will even call the official to sue you. Taxis should run by meter, I know this rule. =.=¿ Anyway, I couldn’t do anything other than to blame myself for being unorganized. If I include some time if emergencies happen, things won’t be so frustrating. Therefore, from that time onwards, unless I take KLIA Express, I really departed at least 4 hours earlier, even if I had to wake up on 5am to catch the 6am KTM train at Shah Alam Station.

3. Being Punctual
I dislike people who do not practice the attitude of being punctual. Maybe the situation that I went through that creates this kind of thinking in my mind. Most of you know that I was a state-player-to-be in Kuching. I underwent trainings to build me to become a state player one day, another dream that I gave up by the reason of immature thinking. During that time my parents hardly being on time to pick me up from Sarawak Badminton Association (SBA), the place where I used to trained. Our training started on 1900hours until around 2200hours in weekdays and for Saturday from 1400hours to 1600hours. On weekdays it was a bit scary since it was quite-late-night. Quite scary too. Well, being in a situation that I could not complain, I guess the only way I could do was to keep it inside me and not to do the same mistake like them. I since then tried to practice a habit of being punctual to every important occasions and events. I hate being late and have to apologize to everyone with the explanations of the reasons of being late. But sometimes I think things are much tougher to be accomplished, since we are surrounded by people of different piece of mindset. Yes, some people never even try to be punctual to a meeting, ceremony, etc. When they are late, they will just give off a simple and common and typical Malaysia slang:
Malaysia time mah… it’s plus minus 30 minutes. You know I know right?

It just so disgusting and I hate it. I really do. I mean, why can’t people try to be punctual to a certain occasion? Why must they give that kind of lame excuses? Is it hard at all, in the first place, try to be punctual? A ceremony which supposes to start at 0900hours will start at 0930hours or even 1000hours. Why can’t we all learn from other countries, typically Germany? Do you know that in Germany, if you are late, even for a single damn minute to the train station, you can just tear off you ticket, no matter how much it cost you. You know why? It’s because that the railway system in Germany is well-known as the most punctual. But it’s sad to hear from my lecturer that the reputation has since then dropped a little.

3 points so far I think would be enough for you to digest. You can’t blame me to have these thoughts. I just can’t stand it.
