Mobile: Phone and Text Bans On Drivers Shown Ineffective

shmG writes to share that according to a recent study on the impact of laws banning the use of cell phones during driving, there appears to be no reduction in accidents as a result.
“The HLDI compared collisions of 100 insured vehicles per year in New York, Washington D.C., Connecticut, and California — all states with currently enacted roadway text bans. Despite those laws, monthly fluctuations in crash rates didn’t change after bans were enacted, [although] there were less people using devices while driving. An earlier study conducted by the HLDI reported that cellphone use was directly linked to four-fold increases in crash injuries. Also independent studies done by universities have shown correlation between driving while using a phone and crashes.”

Christmas ‘09 & New Year ‘10

The last 2 weeks were incredible! I get to meet my boyfriend again after 6 months of separation. Man, I miss him so much!

Before going to pick him up from the airport, I told my friend “hey, I am pretty nervous. After all, I haven’t seen him for 6 months!” Indeed, I was pretty nervous, sweaty palms etc lol. Anyway, I was standing there for almost an hour before I saw him walking out from the Arrival Hall. My heart was pumping very fast. Yes, I miss him lol.

Since then, we had out little trip to Port Dickson again, the nearest beach. Unforgettable memory lol. Walking for a few km under the hot weather to reach to another hotel, private pool, watching National Geographic Channel & BBC, lots of room services, heaps of hot showers and disappointed for no buffet (still :( ). It was awesome :) Then lots of trips to Cold Storage to hunt for food, Jusco for desks, rearrange the room, left over KFC, and heaps of complaining for not getting the light in my room done lol. Then we had our romantic night at Mandarin Oriental Hotel that next to KLCC on 30th December 2009. Despite I was feeling unwell, I love that night so much.

Time passed very fast as we were really enjoying it. 2 weeks came and left. I had to send my boyfriend back to the airport. Didn’t cry this time, well at least not in front of him. Sad, but I held it back. Thinking to see him again in 6 months is rather happy yet sad. Each separation is getting harder and harder. I cannot really take it anymore. When he told me “well, don’t leave again?” I burst into tears.

Now, I am very tired, hoping to graduate soon. I am very very happy that I pass that difficult subject which I though I was screwed. Still have 1 more subject and 1 graduation project to go. Must have to do well in current 2 subjects! I will do my best :)

p/s: I am so happy Bebe is coming with me! :D

Just realized that I can’t really handle that much problems and stress as I used to be. Unsolved problems or matters just do the merry-go-round in my head and always feel like something stuck in my heart. Pretty stressful. Guess I am getting old now, used up all the energy already *cough cough* or I am stepping into the “Strawberry World” and soon to become a citizen of the Strawberry chick (草莓妹) lol.

I really should loosen up a bit. I don’t really want depression to visit me again lol. A lot of stuff to do lately. Many in a day, have to be multi tasks. I really hope that I could have some spare time for myself. The short break wasn’t enough to recharge myself from all the works, stress, and more stress. My day is not about my day anymore. It’s fill with house chores, picking sisters from here and there, some more house chores, then now university stuff, part time. Whoa! Where is MY TIME to read and really sit down and enjoy a task-free moment? I don’t even have much time to talk to my boyfriend since then. Busy!

After this post I have to start digging for information for my assignment that I MUST finish before next Tuesday *sigh*.

Well, part time coming this weekend. I am actually quite looking forward to it. After all, I always have been wanted to work at the front-counter to meet different customers etc. Heard that there’s gonna be 3 consulors there with me in the booth that day. Pretty much existing. Hopefully I won’t be too nervous and make myself a weirdo or lost my professional that day :P

Right. Back to Work!

Random Stuff

Cheap = Low Quality?

As I washed the dishes earlier, and look at the water cleaner we have, I realized that some people really have the “dog eyes”. They are nice to the rich and bully the poor. I have deal with many people like that in my life by judging on me outlook and things I used. So what if I want to buy cheap things from the market? So what if I wear this really torn jeans and old flip flop? They are all nice as long as they are durable and pretty to me. I don’t care they are torn on me, so why do these people care? LOL!

Branded stuff not necessary to be better than the cheap no-brand-market stuff. You are just paying more because of the advertisement you and other people around the world see over and over again. So, it pretty much sounds like you are paying your $ for other people who buy or didn’t buy the product.

For me some of the no-brand products are more durable for the branded product. For instance, I used to buy a “tick” brand shoe which cost me heaps but it wore out and the bottom and front rubber came off after a while. On the other hand, I got this shoe that I bought from The Warehouse in New Zealand which stated “Made in China” (which also I believe that the “tick” company also outsourced their products there), hey hey hey, I have been wearing it for 2 years and I’m still wearing it, just as I bought the first day. Cool huh?

Geek Girl

So, I watched this dancing competition the other day and the girl team did really bad in the second round because they did not like their theme “Star Wars”. I was like “how could you not like it? ” (Of course, I meant the old one). Star Wars is classic! Then “Opps!” I realized I have been turned into a sorta science fiction maniac like my boyfriend lol. He made me watched all of the old Star Wars and Star Trek series and movies, plus the other science fiction series. Wow! I’m insane! At the end, I am brain washed and yeah I started to like science fiction stories. Some of them are actually quite good ;)

Lastly…
