Why So Long Never Post?
Hey guys, post some thingslah, the blog tak panas alreadylah. It seems as if only Alvin, Simon and I are posting. I haven't been posting too much too. Anyway, post somethinglah, a little bit goes a long way. I haven't heard any news from the Kuching people? Did I bring the coolness away from Kuching when I left? Heheehehe. Anyway, please bloglah you guys. Got nothing to talk about meh?
On to my post, anyway, I haven't check with anyone but I guess the trip is pretty much offlah. No one is committed. I don't blame you guys toolah. It was alot to ask form all of you. Instead, due to a logistical problem that all of us have leaving on two separate islands, I've decided to organise a trip for only the Semenanjung people. Hehehe, so stay tunedlah Semenanjung people. Don't worry, the government will give cabinet posts to the Sarawak MPs. Semenanjung people get trips. K, settle.
On another matter, I was sick on my birthday this year. Yea, so sad. I went out in the hot sun on the day be4 helping my dad run a few chores in KL Sentral/ Brickfields area and got sick becaused I was exposed too much to the sun. I get heat stroke real easy. Anyway, at least I celebrated my birthday a day earlier. I went to the Hart's Chicken in Berjaya Times Square after I saw my dad off in the bus to the LCCT. I went to KL. Ate Hart's Chicken, and walked around Bukit Bintang. I even got a chance to look at the latest iPods when I stopped by Low Yat's Apple Reseller. I guess Low Yat is really goodlah because they got the iPods first. They did it in just 2 days after Steve Job's launched them. I also went to Lot 10 and Sunway Pyramid that day just to lepak. Anyway, when I came back I went to sleep and in the morning I fell sick.
I was pretty sick because the fluid in between my ears were imbalanced or something causing me to fell really dizzy and disoriented. I really didn't want to do anything becuase I was sick. So I stayed in bed on Saturday and Sunday. I also didn't reply the birthday messages that were sent to me untill Sunday. Sorry, I really didn't want to reply so late but I was so sick that I was just turned off by the work. Anyway, I want to take this oppurtunity to thank the following people for their birthday wishes. Not in any order. THANK YOU IAN, ALDRIN, ALVIN, AARON, KOH SZE HOWE, SAMANTHA SI and SHAMIR. YOUR BIRHTDAY WIHSES MADE MY DAY. I NEEDED THEM A LOT THIS YEAR COS I WAS SICK SO, THANK YOU!
Anyway, my birthday also saw the arrival of my new roommate. To all of you who do not know, I have been living in My Place Apartments at Taylor's University College for the past 5 weeks and I was living on my own in a twin sharing room for the first month. I was really happy. Living alone but now, I have a roommate. He is from China. He is unable to pseak English very well so it is hard for us to communicate sometimes. He is in Taylor's to do an English course untill next April( if his classes goes smoothly) and will be joining the ICPU program after that. I'm not to happy about having him as my roommate to be frank. I don't have a problem with him personally but I just don't like living and sleeping in the same room as someone. Yes Alvin, this applies even to my future wife. I like my space and I would like to have my own room. Hehehe, I'm a rich, spoilt kid aren't I?
Anyway, I have found a way to get my own room and if my plan goes as well as I hope it would. I will be cutting down my rental by half next month. Anyway, I don't have a lot of problem with my roomate or him as a person but here are what I have to say about him, my house mates and living under Taylor's. Hehehee, I bet all of you were waiting for me to spill the beans rite? You want the juicy stuff don't you? Anyway, in order to do this I need your cooperation. Please don't reveal my name at all, I'm the Simple Guy. That's all.
Anyway, let's start with the guy from China. First of all, I think he's kind of annoying because he keeps following me around and my roommates around. I know he came from half way aorund the world to Malaysia to study but plreaselah, it's just really annoying having this big adult following you around all the time. What I mean is, when I come home and go into my room, he will follow. Then, when I go out to the living room, he will follow. Ad when I go an study in my room, he will follow me and study in the room and then stare at me. Walau wei! He's like a little kid who follows people aroun and is so annoying that I could just lose it. Besides that, he doesn't shower much and has worn the same shirt for the past 10 days. Yes, this is true. Deep down inside, I don't hate him but my frustration is largely generated by my own inability to live with other people withing closed doors. I need my spacce and privacy. I can't imagine waking up every morniong and having a person next to you in bed or in the bed next to you. The thought of having to do thid for the rest of my life scares me. Oh yea, he says 'nigga' alot when speaking to his China friends on the phone. Really, it's sonuds like that exactly. Russel Peters was ritght. Final words: I am not too impressed by the peasant lifestyle of the rich in Mainland China.
Anyway, on to my housemates. Let's start with OKZ. OKZ is a really screwed up guy. That's all I can say. His potty manners are better than that of a dog but just by a bit. Anyway, you get wht I mean so I won't dive further into that. I'm already in deep shit. Anyway, he cooks rubbish and he doesn't clean up after himself. THe kitchen smeels like onions after he cooks and the sink is always filled with rubbish whenever after he eats. He doesn't do the dishes. He throws the sachets that come with instant noodles on to the floor everytime the rubbish bin is full. He let's the cleaner clean up after him once a week and I actually think that he believes that he is smart for doing so. Heheheh. Damn. He doesn't bathe much too. He doesn't bathe before he goes to class but do not worry because he is a 'MAN' and can handle anything. Dirt, germs and filth are only a part of being a 'MAN' rite? This guy also talks as well as he uses the toilet. He always says things like "Ma Cibai" or is it "My Cibai" and "FU**" which makes me wonder if he has ever taken an English class. He watches the TV everyday and plays with Jun Yi's PSP everyday. He's rich, has a car and very 'cetek'. Anyway, this guy is like the typical rich guy with the kampung man's attitude. He lives in the single room. Lucky guy. He goes drinking every Friday and Saturday nite and doesn't bother waking up on Saturday and Sunday. Everytime people study, he will try to oppose their study routine or look at them as if they are weird or wrong. Final words: I am so lucky to have this big strong macho 'MAN' live with me.
Next, we have JC, the Joe. Yes, he is my housemate form St. Joe. Man, this guy is so damn popular. He has so many friends who are all so popular. He is a nice guy but I think there is a something behind him. I won't talk much but all I can say and very rudely too( sorry guys, I'm just going with the flow) is that he has thought me about what certain Christian people want to do. Anyway, I won't go into details but it scares me that some of my friends might be in on this. It is very conspirous and I am detaching myself further from religion. More that ever I feel. I am starting to gain confidence in my stand not to practice religion. Final words: Next time, if I ever become as popular as you I would at least not lie to people who aren't my friends.
Next, we have JY, super genius. This guy is always on the PSP and is so damn smartlah. He doesn't need to study but can score super high marks minimal or no effort. Man, he reminds me that I am even uselesslah. One thing that the Law Of Ueki has thought me is that we all have talents. It's whether or not our talents are useful in real life and whether we can find ways to use them. For JY, his talent is that he can just pick up know;edge from anywhere and use it instantaneously. As for me, I have no talent which I have discovered which means that my talent is no good in the real world or the worl of humans as I haven't found a part of human life to use it in. Anyway, damn, I need to make some serious trade offs.
The roommates in general, dirty, digusting and 'manly'. I want to live with a girl or by myself when I grow up. Anyway, what else. Taylor's management really suck. They only think about money and they can just come into your room anytime they want and move your things around as they like. They are like communists where the government can do anything as they please anytime they want regardless of your presence as a human being to stop them. Then, there's the resident leader. He looks so 'Kiasu' that sometimes I wonder why he is in such condition? Is he afraid that someone will come and snatch his job away? I honestly think that Taylor's put him there and it was not a democratics vote which decided his election as our leader. He seems so competitive that nothing can be achieved and I think that he actually believes that he is smart and logical because he uses his experience to judge people to help him. My God, his experiences has mad him blind and he cannot see past what he want's to see or tells himself to see. Damn, this type of guy just wants to get some part of his resume to mention that he was a "leader" and that he 'actively participated in matters pertaining to the living conditions of Taylors'. Damn, this type of people. Final words: Taylor's is a greedy cooperation with evil and profit hungry management.
Man, I think thats alllah for now. I've talked enough trash for today. Sorry if it was abit extreme,. I'm ranting. Oh yea, to end things on a lighter note, the other day, I tried downloading Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 1 in Taylors using utorrent. The utorrent ETA status displayed an infinity symbol which means that even after I die, I have to wait for somemore time just to watch Gossip Girl. HUh!? Taylor's internet access really bad.
On to my post, anyway, I haven't check with anyone but I guess the trip is pretty much offlah. No one is committed. I don't blame you guys toolah. It was alot to ask form all of you.

Happy Merdeka!!!!
Hi guys! Happy Merdeka! Actually, my initial purpose of putting up this post had nothing to do with Merdeka at all. However, I decided otherwise because I didn't want the title of this post to be the same repetitive stuff I use. Anyway, I'm blogging from one of the PCs in the library now (I just used up 1.5 of my 2 hour wifi limit using my mac). I wanted to remind you guys that the deadline for the trip is this monday, 1st September. I need at least 4 names of people who have confirmed that they will go. You can email me to confirm. Email me at my hotmail accout rav_kid1. I will speak to some of the major contributors to the idea of this trip next before calling it off. Okay, just to remind everyone. The trip (if it translates into reality) will take place somewhere in between the 1st to the 3rd week of December 2008. It will last for 1 week and cost us RM 1200. So please decide now. As for me, I can go. There I said it. However, my decision is dependent on whether you guys want to carry on with the plan.
Okay, on another matter. I'm sad to hear that Spartacus got into a pickle. This may have serious implications on our trip. Spartacus, I hope that you are already gotten over what happened. I too was involved in s car accident last week. I was in a taxi and someone hit us from behind. Luckily, the taxi driver didn't crash our car into the car in front of us. I now know the effect inertia can have on cars. Hehe, somemore it was the first time that I took a taxi in KL all by myself. So soi. That was when I took a taxi to KL Sentral. On my return from KL Sentral, I nearly got into another accident. It was raining and the roads were slippery. The driver went up a flyover and couldn't see that one half of the road was closed as a BMW had just crash into the left lane on the road. The closed the lane because the were scared that people would skid off the road and crash and fall from the fylover. The taxi driver breaked, the car skidded and the tires made that drifting noise. Geez. Talk about me and bad luck. I bring bad luck to the driver. What's up with taxis these days anyway.
I guess I'll have to use public transport. But wait, these days public transport is getting extremely unreliable and the quality of service is declining. Damned monopolies by GLCS. Yea, sue me, even Pak Cik Lah will testify for me. The fuel prices have gone up, so to cut costs, these smart fellows reduce the ammount of trips instead of increasing the price of tickets. The result: less trains, more people in trains (spurred by the large number of people taking public transportation and less train journeys). It's so damn hard to catch a train on weekends nowadays. The trains get so overcroweded that people have to wait for 2 trains to pass by before getting on a train. This happened to me on last Sunday. I went to Midvalley. I wanted to take a taxi back about 5 pm in the afternoon and what do you know, there's a hundred people waiting in front of me, literally. So, I resort to the KTM line to KL sentral. When I get down to the platform, what do ya know, there's two hundred people in front of me. When the train arrives, hardly anyone gets down because they want to go to KL Sentral. Then, an announcement is made saying that the next train is canceled. Hahaha. I laughed to myself. It was then that I realised that I had to face the harsh reality that we live in Malaysia where companies can just so easily say sorry to you for canceling the train even though you here this virtually everyday. There's no end to it.
The problem with Malaysian companies are, the have a product that they steal from another country, but that's as far as it goes. They provide you with these products, but it remains stagnant. Nothing changes. There are no improvements to the products because us Malaysians don't have the smarts to manipulate, create, improve and innovate. It's just like the Angkasawan project. You see, we can't build a rocket becos we are not smart enough. So we import the technology and the we can only use it to get the same results. We can't configure the rocket, to say, go faster or become more fuel efficient. Then, when something new comes into the market, we buy the new thing. Our old rocket can just be trhown away. We are consumers, not producers. Furthermore, living in a THIRD WORLD stagnant country where capitalistic companies who try to immitate other successful forign companies lack ethics and don't feel any responsibility to their customers. In fact, they have the option to choose whether or no they want to improve their services. Which is why they don't mind saying sorry a thousand times and not doing anything to improve their services. Their sorry means nothing to me as it is not sincere. It is just to be polite only. I bet these companies don't do anything because they think of you as a burden. I mean why would they like all of you? You guys just want to get the best possible train ride out of your measely RM 2? You burden them because you ask to much for so little money. This is why Malaysian companies fail. It is because the have these negative thoughts. Plus, the government backs them heavily and make them GLCS so they will have monopolies over a their given fields. Why on Earth should these companies even want to think of preaching social corporate responsibility? In my opinion, social corporate responsibility means being responsible to the people and isn't giving them more than what they bargain for a much better way of showing that they care and want to be responsible for their customers' needs rather than givng millions of dollars to Sudan or Lebanon. Malaysian companies can choose to live in their own world and not acknowledge the fact that people want more for less. They just don't get this, they don't understand customers, they are out of touch with the people. Public transport suck. Which leads me to my next point.
You guys may have thought that I bought an Apple becos I am rich. But the fact is I bought a Mac becos it is so much more than a computer. They don't stop at "Oh, this is a computer, let's sell it". To them a computer is so much more. It's an understanding. It's their passion and they are proud of what they make which it why they want you to get the most out of your computer so that you will understand how happy they were, how much satisfaction they gained becos of the computer. I love comouters and Macs made me appreciate them even more. Paying that RM 4299 for the Mac was robbery on my part. I roobed Mac becos they are giving me so damn much more that it exceeds this thing called the benchmark or 'standard'. You see unlike our Malaysian companies, you are not a burden to them. They do not get tired with you. They always want to give you their best. Just imagine that you were in love with this hot girl. You'd wanna be at your best for her rite? And like wise you'd feel flattered or satisfied if she wanted to be her best for you. It's the same thing with Apple. They want to be the best for you. They give it their all. I honestly belief that Apple computer programmers feel happy everytime you use one of their applications is used to their fullest extent. This is what I call a business. They give you everything and you get so much more that the money you paid seem so little. The Apple people usderstand what thei customer wants. They don't sell you a Basic, Premium, Ultimate, Business version of Mac OS X Leopard. To them, it's why would you want to give your customer less? Why can't you just give them the best of everything? Think about it. Why should you have to buy a software for a particular purpose say work or for simple home use. Why can't you just buy want one which is good at everything? It's again like a girl. Why should you have to choose between a hot girl? or a nice girl? or a smart girl?or a girl for sex? Why can't you get all in one? Huh, why can't you? At Apple, they want you to get the best. Macs are brilliant. They are better than any computers in every way. Buy one if you get the chance to. I did and I have never complained nor have I ever strayed away from my Mac. It's Mac for me forever man! You may think that money limits you. Well save up. Buying one in 6 years is much better than buying 2 normal laptops every 3 years. Macintosh may be expensive here in Malaysia. But the prices in the US aren't that bad actually. It's expensive in Malaysia because Apple hasn't set up in Malaysia. But I doubt that they would. Remember, Mac is derived from Macintosh. They named the computer Macintosh after the apple because the apple was cheap and available everywhere in the US.
That's all for now. Happy Independence Day!
Okay, on another matter. I'm sad to hear that Spartacus got into a pickle. This may have serious implications on our trip. Spartacus, I hope that you are already gotten over what happened. I too was involved in s car accident last week. I was in a taxi and someone hit us from behind. Luckily, the taxi driver didn't crash our car into the car in front of us. I now know the effect inertia can have on cars. Hehe, somemore it was the first time that I took a taxi in KL all by myself. So soi. That was when I took a taxi to KL Sentral. On my return from KL Sentral, I nearly got into another accident. It was raining and the roads were slippery. The driver went up a flyover and couldn't see that one half of the road was closed as a BMW had just crash into the left lane on the road. The closed the lane because the were scared that people would skid off the road and crash and fall from the fylover. The taxi driver breaked, the car skidded and the tires made that drifting noise. Geez. Talk about me and bad luck. I bring bad luck to the driver. What's up with taxis these days anyway.
I guess I'll have to use public transport. But wait, these days public transport is getting extremely unreliable and the quality of service is declining. Damned monopolies by GLCS. Yea, sue me, even Pak Cik Lah will testify for me. The fuel prices have gone up, so to cut costs, these smart fellows reduce the ammount of trips instead of increasing the price of tickets. The result: less trains, more people in trains (spurred by the large number of people taking public transportation and less train journeys). It's so damn hard to catch a train on weekends nowadays. The trains get so overcroweded that people have to wait for 2 trains to pass by before getting on a train. This happened to me on last Sunday. I went to Midvalley. I wanted to take a taxi back about 5 pm in the afternoon and what do you know, there's a hundred people waiting in front of me, literally. So, I resort to the KTM line to KL sentral. When I get down to the platform, what do ya know, there's two hundred people in front of me. When the train arrives, hardly anyone gets down because they want to go to KL Sentral. Then, an announcement is made saying that the next train is canceled. Hahaha. I laughed to myself. It was then that I realised that I had to face the harsh reality that we live in Malaysia where companies can just so easily say sorry to you for canceling the train even though you here this virtually everyday. There's no end to it.
The problem with Malaysian companies are, the have a product that they steal from another country, but that's as far as it goes. They provide you with these products, but it remains stagnant. Nothing changes. There are no improvements to the products because us Malaysians don't have the smarts to manipulate, create, improve and innovate. It's just like the Angkasawan project. You see, we can't build a rocket becos we are not smart enough. So we import the technology and the we can only use it to get the same results. We can't configure the rocket, to say, go faster or become more fuel efficient. Then, when something new comes into the market, we buy the new thing. Our old rocket can just be trhown away. We are consumers, not producers. Furthermore, living in a THIRD WORLD stagnant country where capitalistic companies who try to immitate other successful forign companies lack ethics and don't feel any responsibility to their customers. In fact, they have the option to choose whether or no they want to improve their services. Which is why they don't mind saying sorry a thousand times and not doing anything to improve their services. Their sorry means nothing to me as it is not sincere. It is just to be polite only. I bet these companies don't do anything because they think of you as a burden. I mean why would they like all of you? You guys just want to get the best possible train ride out of your measely RM 2? You burden them because you ask to much for so little money. This is why Malaysian companies fail. It is because the have these negative thoughts. Plus, the government backs them heavily and make them GLCS so they will have monopolies over a their given fields. Why on Earth should these companies even want to think of preaching social corporate responsibility? In my opinion, social corporate responsibility means being responsible to the people and isn't giving them more than what they bargain for a much better way of showing that they care and want to be responsible for their customers' needs rather than givng millions of dollars to Sudan or Lebanon. Malaysian companies can choose to live in their own world and not acknowledge the fact that people want more for less. They just don't get this, they don't understand customers, they are out of touch with the people. Public transport suck. Which leads me to my next point.
You guys may have thought that I bought an Apple becos I am rich. But the fact is I bought a Mac becos it is so much more than a computer. They don't stop at "Oh, this is a computer, let's sell it". To them a computer is so much more. It's an understanding. It's their passion and they are proud of what they make which it why they want you to get the most out of your computer so that you will understand how happy they were, how much satisfaction they gained becos of the computer. I love comouters and Macs made me appreciate them even more. Paying that RM 4299 for the Mac was robbery on my part. I roobed Mac becos they are giving me so damn much more that it exceeds this thing called the benchmark or 'standard'. You see unlike our Malaysian companies, you are not a burden to them. They do not get tired with you. They always want to give you their best. Just imagine that you were in love with this hot girl. You'd wanna be at your best for her rite? And like wise you'd feel flattered or satisfied if she wanted to be her best for you. It's the same thing with Apple. They want to be the best for you. They give it their all. I honestly belief that Apple computer programmers feel happy everytime you use one of their applications is used to their fullest extent. This is what I call a business. They give you everything and you get so much more that the money you paid seem so little. The Apple people usderstand what thei customer wants. They don't sell you a Basic, Premium, Ultimate, Business version of Mac OS X Leopard. To them, it's why would you want to give your customer less? Why can't you just give them the best of everything? Think about it. Why should you have to buy a software for a particular purpose say work or for simple home use. Why can't you just buy want one which is good at everything? It's again like a girl. Why should you have to choose between a hot girl? or a nice girl? or a smart girl?or a girl for sex? Why can't you get all in one? Huh, why can't you? At Apple, they want you to get the best. Macs are brilliant. They are better than any computers in every way. Buy one if you get the chance to. I did and I have never complained nor have I ever strayed away from my Mac. It's Mac for me forever man! You may think that money limits you. Well save up. Buying one in 6 years is much better than buying 2 normal laptops every 3 years. Macintosh may be expensive here in Malaysia. But the prices in the US aren't that bad actually. It's expensive in Malaysia because Apple hasn't set up in Malaysia. But I doubt that they would. Remember, Mac is derived from Macintosh. They named the computer Macintosh after the apple because the apple was cheap and available everywhere in the US.
That's all for now. Happy Independence Day!

Hey, I haven't forgotten
Hey guys, I haven't forgotten any of you. In my previous post, I only said goodbbye because I put up that post 10 minutes before the taxi arrived. I was in a hurry. I only got 1.5 hours of sleep the night before (packing, hehehe). Anyway, for all of you who do not know, I am in the American Degree Program at Taylor's University College in Subang Jaya( hpoes this answers your query, Bun, we can meet each othe on weekends if you want to).
My course lasts for 4 year (i'll be doing 2 years here and 2 years overseas like saykhia). I choose the American Degree Program because it is not very stringent and allows me to choose the courses that I would like to do. I basically pick what I want to study. Yeah, I know you guys think that this is weird and very different from waht you guys are doing but it's really cool. I get to study a whole variety of subjects outside my major as it is required by the program ( we have to complete a certain number of credits in various academic areas and fields). The subjects that I take cover topics from the humanities, natural science and mathematics, fine arts, social sciences, etc.
I am currently enrolled in the Actuarial Science program. However, though I am in the actuarial science program, I am going to major in mathematics and economics as US undergraduate degrees are supposed to be general and not to prepare you to go into a particular profession. I will only major in the second year when I apply to go to a US/ Canadian/ Australian University. They just put me in the actuarial science program as a guidline only. This semester, I am taking 4 courses ammounting to 14 credits which are Calculus 1(5 credit course), Introduction to Business (3 credits), Introduction to Computers/ Computer Concepts and Applications (3 credit) and English Composition 1 (3 credit). Notice that all the subjects that I'm taking are all from different fields. I haven't been given any projsects yet but my business instructor says that we will have to come up with a business plan that is agriculture related.
It's really cool this system. I only go for classes about 3 hours long every weekday. I gives me time to digest the knowledge that I gain and allows me to control my studies outside the cloassroom. There are about 150 students in my class and quite a number of them are JPA/ MARA students (about 50). I'm friends with the JPA people. They are really nice and humble. I live a My Place apartments which is really nearby to my school. It's just 10 minutes away from my school. In fact, it's 8.15pm and I'm currently blogging from the library. I'm staying here till it closes at 10pm. I like the library. The environment is great and I even have my favourite table number 17. Hehe, it's at a cool and nice quite place. My roommates are great. There's a Josephian and he's a really nice guy (cute too, he's single too, saykhia, bluray and bun). Anyway, we don't have Internet access at my apartment. There are no phone lines either. So I can only use the Internet when I come to the library.
I love classes and my life here. With KL's yellow sun and the lack of the Kuchingite(the earth aroung Kuching), I feel at home. I'm finally back. Hehehe, just kiddinglah. I still love Kuching. It's my second home. Though I can only stay there for 3 months on a visitor's pass now (sad). Anyway, for those of you who didn't know, I bought a Motorola KRZR K1 just before I left Kuching. For those of you who may not have known this, I bought it because it is the Dan Humprey phone from Gossip Girl (actually he uses the KRZR K1m which looks the same but is only available in US because it's a CDMA phone, mine is the GSM version. Oh yea, his phone is black in colour while mine is blue) YAy!! Now I have the Blackbook (Black Macbook) and KRZR like Dan Humprey. All I need now is a place at Dartmouth and a hot popular chick. Hehehe. I'm a huge fan aren't I (I remember saykhia telling me that I get obssesed with things). Anyway, I really hated how seasin 1 ended. I didn't watch the entire last episode because I went out with you guys but Dan and Serena broke up. I'm so sad. Plus, Nate and Serena go out together? How can this be? Why don't the average joes ever get the it girls? Anyway, I did like the part where Chuck say's "I'm Chuck Bass" when he hit's on his father's business associate. It's so cool the way he's says it. He was suppose to be with Blair on the G5 to don't know where but he cheated on her because he couldn't stand being monogamous. But so sad. I saw Enews a fews weeks ago and I think in the trailer of the second season of Gossip Girl, I saw Serena making out with Nate over the summer. How can she go back to Dan after getting done by a guy like Nate. So sad. I hate this. But like much of Gossip Girl plots. I think this proble will be solved in just 2 episodes.
Anyway guys. I love and miss you all. SMS me once in a while.
