Locus of control
I woke up at 7:10am this morning to finalise my PBL presentation... didn't really have much time, but I got it done. Been wondering how I was gonna present it, hadn't been confident about doing stuff out of memory and knowledge. Lately Dr.Lawrence has been pointing out my habit of reading out from the paper rather than explaining stuffs which I should have already known well in the first place. So well, I reached IMU at 8:35, and went on to photostate the notes for my presentation... I found Marilyn and Jin-Yu already there so tumpang'ed them to photostate my notes =P
Dr. Lawrence turned up late... oh well, everything has its first. I waited for my turn to present, formulating the words to say and stuffs... I did a pretty okay job I guess. ^_^
Surprisingly after Hafiz's presentation, they threw a surprise party for Marilyn (her b'day yesterday)... brought cake, food and all. So well, had a feedback session and I'm pretty glad I improved.... don't have the fluency which Eve has but I guess that can be touched up on. The session dragged out long with Dr. Lawrence sharing valuable experience about his time in IMU and his views about PBL. I couldn't make it to Taylors to see Carl Lin at 11, so I decided to go at 2...
Went to see Ms.Ong to have a chat, then went to library to study. At 1:20 I left for Subang... the roads are pretty much changed, with constructions going on here and there.... Met up with Carl Lin for a while, until 3... then she had to leave home with her friends.
On my way home... I foolishly got lost and ended up going through 3 unnecessary tolls totalling up to RM4.70. Now guys and girls out there reading my posts.... let me explain to you all what I learnt in lecture about 'locus of control' from Dr. Paul Jambunathan's lecture....
There are two types of locus of control.... the inner locus of control, and the outer locus of control.... People with inner locus of control feel they have control of themselves, and whatever happens is because of them and that they are able to make a difference..... If I were someone with an inner locus of control, which I think I am... I'll put the blame on myself for being such a bloody idiot... and if I were someone with an outer locus of control, I'd go on bitching about the fucking government putting up so many tolls without clearly indicating where I'm heading for, which I'm going to do right now cos I'm losing control.....
ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!! So damn pissed!! Bloody transport ministry, or whomever it regards! Raised the toll rates again.... and then nicely putting up USELESS highways like the New Pantai express highway in which the number of users can be counted on the fingers of one hand..... that includes me, the idiot who unknowingly fell victim to it.... >.<
Not to mention having 2 tolls so close to each other charging RM1.60 each! Its like.... go in RM1.60, go out another RM1.60.... where's the justice in this world!?
Bah, enough of my ranting.... I'm just an idiot, that can be changed.... the government....even if it could be changed, nothing will improve.
