Its been a long, LONG time since I last blogged so as you can tell I've turned to a hibernating blogger once again.

The 2 reasons for this frequent phenomenon is that I am either...
a) Too busy with my life to blog
b) There is nothing worth blogging about

Today however I need to rant. This has been a bad week, somewhat. An this is a tale of two people.

Price of petrol has gone up. Agitated that Malaysians are so cheapskate that they have to clog up the highways and streets to get petrol before the price hike is such a Malaysian thing to do. And we say Singaporeans are 'Kia Su'. That was irritation number one.

Irritation number two is a person I shall call 'Queen'. Queen is a person who, I don't know how to put this...
a) expects you to call him/her and asking him/her if he/she is car pulling with you the next day instead of calling you to inform you.

or..

b)Deems it his/her right to let you drive to his/her place the next morning, wasting your petrol (which has gone up in price by 40% mind you) and time just to find out you didn't have to pick him/her up.

or BOTH.

And this is the second time. (Well he/she was sick the 1st time this happened so its forgiven)

And has the cheek to ask "why am I always making him angry?".

Now suddenly he/she drives.

The funny thing is this, I'm not angry that he/she doesn't drive eventhough he/she can. Its the 'not informing me or another person in the carpool that you're not coming' part that irritates me. A simple sorry would suffice but I guess some people are above that.

The other major irritation happened today. You say something wrong, your friends/groupmates in good humour tease you about it and you...

Blow up (may be too strong a word) in their faces.

Then once you cool down, you ask a person that you scolded for no reason why is he/she sulking, and scold him/her again because he/she is angry at you for (insert matter stated earlier). Any apologies? Didn't think so.

Fair? Very I guess, by the world's standards.

Yeah I sound fickle but hey if you don't rant after being put in these situations and not by means of ignorance, gimme an e-mail, You can be my mentor.

On to other stuff that annoy me is... Office politics.

I'm no employee of the month, but I do my job and I do it somewhat well. But blaming me because I have other more pressing responsibilities (my church, my dog, my house) than going to some trip up in the highlands is a wee bit unfair. But owh well. Hate me all you want.

Yeah its been quite a week. I'm tired.
