Inefficient, Ineffective and Irresponsible

Three words that describe those that work in the mykad department. It's funny, really, when u think about it. Kheong, his mum and i went to the Mykad centre in Kota Damansara to do our MyKad about... two months ago. So, if we went together, and if he did his MyKad just right before me, doesn't that imply that our MyKad should be out together or vice versa?

They told us to come back in two months. Kheong checked the website, and his MyKad is ready for collection. My fault really, when i assumed mine will be ready too since i was just after him. Drove all the way in the f**king weather, haze and everything to Kota f**king Damansara at 8 in the f**king morning. Presented myself to the counter, only ONE person manning four counters, mind you. Waited for 5 mins or so. Lady didn't even make the effort to 'layan' me. So i plopped myself on the seat in front of her (after i got fed up of waiting), and mentioned the purpose of my 'visit'.

Lady in tudung: Hmm.
Me: What?
Lady in tudung: Not ready la.
Me: *wtf look*
Lady in tudung: Come back in two weeks. Haven't send to this cawangan yet.
Me: *wtf look again* But you told me to come back in two months. And it HAS been two months.
Lady in tudung: It needs to be sent here first.
Me: (thinking: it takes TWO (2) bloody f**king weeks to send a bLoody i.c.? WHat? You use the lembu cart or something to send here wan ah?) *Gives a murderous look* Okay.

There wasn't anything more to say! Like, how come kheong's MyKad is 'sedia diambil' and mine is 'belum dihantar ke cawangan'? Is there like some super bias system where they penalize super racist people like me?

I can't even go there on a saturday to collect it anymore.. and neither can all the other thousands of MyKad hopefuls waiting out there who work on weekdays! Why?!? Because they work like crazy on weekdays. They need their weekends off *nods head* Give them weekends off, they'll soon be demanding for weekdays off too. Just, wait.

Inefficient.

Ineffective.

Irresponsible.

However, on a lighter note.. Read thru some lil girls' (under the age of 20) blogs today. Wow. I mean, i remember when we used to be like that. Confused, with so much emotions running through our mind and heart... Just searching for our true selves, really. Those few years during adolescence (13-20) were the most interesting, fun, irresponsible (yes, we were still young then) and fantastic years of our lives. We were carefree, doing nothing, just studying, without a thought of our future. Yes, we pondered upon that thought once in a while and even had dreams... but the idea of being fully matured, independent and responsible hadn't sunk in yet.

Now, the idea has already sunk in. What am i going to do when i graduate? What line do i want to enter? What do i want to make of my life? How am i going to go about fulfilling it? The dreams that we used to have when we were younger and deciding upon our life's journey seems so far away. Those dreams are beyond our reach now, as we begin to take the steps on this journey to adulthood.
