Mr. Angkasawan

Yeah so the angkasawan fella Mr. What's His Name came to our school today.
Spelling his name out would be a waste of time so why bother?
You should look it up yourself if you want to know.
Providing you don't already know it.
So anyway, he came.
He was late.
Tidak menepati masa.
( heard later that he couldn't find our school. -___- )
Don't blame him.
Cause he never learned Moral.
No racism intended.
Anyway when he was giving his speech, he got our school name wrong.
-_______________-
Then, we adjourned to the dewan.
He gave us a motivational speech bla bla bla.
Which, I have to admit, was kind of fun.
He looked really old from afar, but from near, quite okay la.
Didn't really smile, was frowning a lot.
And he kept crossing his arms over his chest.
Which to me, is a very rude gesture.
Trying to act cool or something?
Probably didn't know what to do with his hands.
Anyway, after the speech was the autograph session.
They were selling stuff like mugs, t-shirts, keychains and a book.
A book worth RM35.
A super thin (and probably useless) book worth RM 35.
And people actually bought the stupid book!
The stuff was actually made by his family.
So all profits goes to the family.
How sad, using his publicity to earn money for themselves.
Not wrong, just sad.
So in the middle of the autograph session, he just stood up and walked away.
He told my school's PK HEM that the school was very disorganised.
( apparently it was because of the lack of marker pens for him to sign stuff. )
Of course I didn't hear it personally.
But I do have my sources. ;)
Later I was told that while heading for his car, a Form 3 student asked him for his autograph.
And guess what? He pushed her away and went inside his car.
Barbaric me thinks.
Oh, and when he went inside the dewan, he told the teachers :
Don't you have a bigger dewan?
-______________________________-"
How insulting.
Rude.
Of all the 11403 (more or less) Malaysians wanting to be an angkasawan, he got chosen.
Pathetic.
And he's not even an astronaut, just a ( as my friends call him ) "space tourist".
Our country spent 105 million ringgit to send this guy to outer space?
Nothing better to do with the money issit?
There are people who actually need this money more than this stupid arrogant jerk.
Sad. Sad. Sad.

p.s. Having my MUET speaking tomorrow, wish me luck! :P
