I saw someone posted in Facebook status about some abandoned baby news yesterday. Then today it’s in the newspapers. I’m referring to this news article, ‘Doll’ turns out to be dead baby.

It got me thinking… It’s not something new to hear about newborn being abandoned and left to death or some self abortion whereby they would threw their foetus away. Do you notice something similar that will always happen after that?

The foetus or dead baby will eventually be found even though he/she was being thrown away to place that people thought to be “safe” and would not be found. Be it to the drain, the river, the garbage pile, the bush, and so on be it properly wrapped or not. At the end, there will always be somebody that stumble upon him/her. It’s as if there’s something that will ensure that he/she will be found or stumbled upon by others no matter how “perfect” the thrower/murderer trying to cover the whole thing.

After seeing so many such kind of news, it really got me thinking. What do you think?

For so many years of booking flight tickets online at Air Asia website, for the first time I feel very stupid. I don’t know how to use the website! I got stuck when trying to make a reservation.

After I selected everything that was needed to find the available flight, I couldn’t find any button to proceed to the next page! There wasn’t any radio button to select the flight too. I was looking high and low thinking that I might have miss it since they had revamped their site. How am I going to book a flight without the “next” or “continue” button?!?!

I thought maybe it’s because of the traffic in the site now that caused the site couldn’t load properly due to the latest promo but it’s not. How could a simple small button that is so small in file size couldn’t load?

Was wondering and looking high and low for clue but nothing. -.-” Believe it or not, I tried so many times with different browsers and all gave me the same results. I even tried to book again after waiting for few hours.

I gave up searching on my own and asked Allen to see whether his side got such problem or not. At first he couldn’t find the button too but at the end he said he did. It took him quite a while too but not as long as I did *LOL*

Guess what?!?! What a smart user interface!

Last time, there’s radio buttons for you to choose your flight but now… WOW! Very canggih(advance) I tell you! Even me, an IT graduate and someone who spends more than 12 hours on the Internet daily couldn’t figure out how to use the site! Very funny don’t you think so? Maybe it’s just me for being that stupid?

I found out about it when I accidentally move my cursor to the fare column and noticed the change of the cursor. I thought I saw it wrongly so I slowly moved my cursor around again until I saw the change of the cursor, I clicked and VOILA! All the buttons came out! WAH! “Impressive”!

I feel like want to bang my head to wall.

p/s: The flight is not for me, how I wish I have the money and time to fly. Sigh…

I’m still not recovered from yesterday trip. Woke up early this morning to go to church. In fact I was thinking of skipping it but at the end dragged myself up to go since I didn’t go for almost one whole month. Came home, tried to take a nap but couldn’t nap at all. Wanted to update the final post of my KL trip but too lazy to edit the last batch of photos. Will do it tomorrow.

This year’s CNY is really something very different for me. What an experience! What’s the odd of being FFK(fong fei kei, in Cantonese; or put aeroplane, literally translated it to English ;p, it should be “standing someone up”) continuously for almost the first 8 days of CNY? How lucky am I? You people know who you are, I’m not going to point out one by one. A bit angry for the first few times but at the same time quite amused with what had happened after being FFK for almost everyday.

Even today, the lecturer also FFK me! I wasn’t informed that my class was canceled. I went there, checked the timetable, it didn’t say anything that it’s canceled. I went up, saw an empty classroom with the door wide opened, lights all on, air-cons all on, even the laptop was on stand-by. There’s nothing amiss.

I thought I was too early. I waited but no one came even few minutes before 2pm! I knew some people were early birds but strangely they were no where to be seen. So I sat there in an empty classroom, waiting. Felt playful, so I SMSed some classmates and they called up one by one telling me that the class was canceled. *faint* No wonder -.-” Some of them actually got the news while on the way to class and turned back. Luckily my house isn’t far else it would be wasting my time.

Seriously, I’m not that angry after being FFK for almost every single day for the passed 7 days. I didn’t expect I’m being FFK on the 8th day too! I’m really baffled and amused with this whole FFK thing that happened to me.

My conclusion for these incidents? I have no idea at all. I’m baffled and amused in a way. However, being FFK for almost everyday is really no fun. Wasted a lot of my time and energy preparing and waiting even though I have very high level of patience.

I don’t mind waiting if I have nothing else coming up as long as you show up or if I have something coming up, I’ll just let you know that I can’t wait anymore but being FFK is a whole different story especially when you would have done some other stuff but you rejected it for this particular stuff and ended up not doing anything but wasting time and energy.

Imagine if this is happening to you? What is your take on it?
