... well, it's been two days since I started my tai tai life, and this is the first opportunity I've had to SIT DOWN! Mind you, it's been good.. so no complaints.
Rundown of the last two days: Dropping husband off at work, and picking him up later (2-3 hours gone). Supermarket for groceries, buying tons of fruits from our fave Chinese fresh foods vendor who comes RIGHT OUTSIDE our apartment block on Mon/Fri, laundry, the gym (my new fitness training program has started.. OUCH), taking car for fixing a problem and then picking it up again, tidying up the house, getting tickets for various shows a bunch of us are going to see (Pixel - are you going for Julius Ceaser? We are going on the 10th Dec.)... and I still have a ton of ironed clothes to put away, and have to file all the stuff I have not filed for the last two months, and I have to finish my Xmas shopping too (Yes, that does mean I have started it!!).
Hey, while driving husband to work today, we were on Jln Tun Razak, in a traffic jam, stuck right behind a Kancil, where the driver had his BABY on his lap! I don't get it. Are people like this in their right minds? That baby was standing up on his legs, hanging out the half open window, grabbing at his face, grabbing at the steering wheel. IT WAS SO STUPID!! What happens if, God forbid, he gets into an accident. If someone slams into him from behind, or he slams into someone, that baby will go flying straight into the window OR will end up being the 'cushion' between the father and the steering wheel. End result... bye-bye, baby, bye-bye (in the words of Abba). Or what happens if the baby reaches too far out the window and falls out? Don't people THINK before doing these things... or does everyone think "Ah, it'll never happen to me." Hellooooo, wake uppppppp, it can happen to ANYBODY and EVERYBODY. PUT THE BABY IN THE BABY SEAT, strap the little fella in, keep him safe.
Other PET HATES:
- drivers who do not signal when changing lanes
- drivers who do NOT LOOK when changing lanes (worse than not signalling)
- drivers who double/triple park and then walk away from their cars. When you get back to your car, you can't move because of these idiots
- drivers who go through red lights with total nochalance, ignoring the fact that they almost hit you when it is YOUR right of way
- drivers who park so badly they take up 2 slots
- drivers who queue barge and shove their way in when everyone else is waiting patiently in line. Actually this applies in traffic jams as well as other queues
- drivers who do not acknowledge you when you give way to them, a simple wave of the hand would do
- parents who let their children run riot in public places, especially restaurants
- people who talk so loud (whether on the phone or not) that you can share their conversation from half a mile away
- people who do a 100 transactions at the ATM when there is a long queue of people waiting
- ... and the list goes on.
So, what are your pet peeves/hates?

totally agree with you on the hate list. this is malaysia!! malaysia boleh!! at the end of the day, the baby acts as the airbag and that's it, end of an innocent life.
i think i know why you are so mad about the motorist here. you just came back from aussie. the mentallity of the motorist there is so much different then here. you felt so safe and comfortable driving on the road there unlike here.
A middle-age male with black hair and sunglasses in a dark-blue SUV was horning and flashing high-beam on me while I was driving 50km/h along the magnificent and zig-zag ocean road drive. I really wondered if he was from Malaysia :|
Actually, there were so FEW drivers on the road in Perth... that was why it was so easy!
Kong, the guy must have been from either SG or M'sia... where else!
