You know one thing I take for granted that I really shouldn't? Safety! I seem to put myself in potentially dangerous situations all the time. For example, I'm always driving around by myself in the middle of the night. In KL, this is considered to be a pretty big no-no, because, unfortunately, there are all sorts of highway crimes going on. Especially if you're a chick. Thugs have been known to intentionally ram into their victims cars, making the victims think that it is a genuine accident. However, it is only a ploy for the thugs to be able to steal, hurt, rape, or do whatever the hell they want to their victims. So like I said, I'm always driving by myself late at night, putting me in this potentially dangerous situation. Now, in order to avoid such a thing happening to me, I often choose to speed. I figure the faster I get home, and the closer I get to an area where there are more cars, the less likely shit is going to happen to me. This speeding puts me in potentially dangerous situation number two: I risk getting into an actual accident. But I continue to push the limits anyway, because all I'm thinking is that I want to get home, safe and sound. Although speeding on the freeway isn't exactly the best way of getting home safe and sound, is it? And just the other night, I was out with my friends, and though I wasn't driving this time, I did find myself alone in the car again. We had stopped at a gas station because my 2 friends wanted to use the bathroom. I opted to wait for them in the car, regardless of the fact that it was 1am and there were all sorts of men milling around. I'd locked the doors so no one could get in, but what if some loony came and pulled a gun on me? I know it's just plain dumb to do these things, but I do them anyway. I suppose I suffer from the it-won't-happen-to-me syndrome. Man, my mother would kill me if she knew half the things I did. (On a side note, it's funny how the above-mentioned syndrome seems to be most commonly found in people who have unprotected sex.)
