Street Crossing

A bit shocked and angry; that was my feeling a few hours ago. While walking through the usual road to my boarding house, I often cross the main street over the zebra-cross. There is a traffic light built for this zebra-cross & if you want to cross the street you can press the button behind the traffic light to turn the lights to red. It’s easy-peasy –yet the people is not quite that way—.

When I’m about to cross, I saw a man who had already pressed the button from the opposite of the road, so the lights turns red. By then, I also crossed it. Yet some people –especially one with motorcycles—kept going on.. won’t stop a bit and it’s just “WTF!”.

The first one almost hit me, but he loosen up so he can avoid me easily, but with some “sigh” sound. Shockingly, somehow I replied by yelling at him. me pretty sure that it was reflex.

Secondly, a young guy. He KNOW that I’m crossing the street, yet he won’t loosen up. I tell him with a serious tone, telling him “It’s red, dude” while pointing my index finger to the red lights. He seemed embarrassed and then just gone like a wind.


I’ve never felt this liven-up feeling for quite long. And it’s kinda arousing my adrenaline. Anger, and it’s been a long time since the last time I felt that way…

Dentists.. sure are rich ( .__.)

I took a day off as of today, for two main reasons,

1. is to attend a job interview (wish me luck).
2. is to visit a dentist for patching left molar.

The latter, has just made me kind of shocked.

I had my left molar patched in my high school days, and it’s been years since it got off by itself, 2 weeks ago. So a re-patching is needed. After paying a visit to a dentist near my rent house, he told me that the cavity in my left molar is deep and need to be cleansed first, before ready to be patched.


“Hey Doc, how much is it?”,
he said, “75 thousands”.

And… I was wondering…
*woot.. quite pricey just for cleansing*

And furthermore, my curiosity made me ask one more vital question,

Me, “Doc, how much should I pay for patching my molar?”
Doc, ”250 thousands for patching + 75 thousands for the drugs”
Me, *jaws-dropped* + moment of silence
Me, ”Could it be…. cheaper?”
Doc, ”It’s already cheap”
Me, “Oh.. is that so.. okay..”
Doc, “Come back here again 2 days from now”
Me, “Yep.”

And so, he told me to come back 2 days from now.


Those moment I’ll never forget. Going to a dentist is pretty pricey; embrace yourself and your pocket before you go.

Where have I been since 2010?

Heya.. I was playing and hanging around with Tumblr, and just wondering “Which one is the best blog site?”. And it turns out to blew up many choices for me in which, totally depends on my need of blogging.
I was planning to moving on, from Blogger to Tumblr, transfer all of my post in this current blog (stepmark) to my Tumblr blog (byhaqi). And unfortunately, not all of what I’ve wanted to do in Tumblr are.. satisfying. Especially blogging with text and some other stuffs around these text blogging.
It’s so-so for text blogging. The auto-save and draft feature is not yet available in Tumblr.
(dear Tumblr dev, hear my wish.. would you?).
Tumblr is good, –IMHO— for picture blogging; share some images or photos you’ve captured, drew, made. It’s totally a perfectly fit place for that and I’m currently using it to host my picture blog & some short thoughts (byhaqi).
And after these 2 years of absence from Blogger (plus, any other years..), I’ll have to stay with Blogger, .. and start text blogging again.
