Security Check? my ass...

Okay, went to the library to do some maths yesterday night, It was very normal, very usual until i got to the main gate/roundabout, There was a sign saying "Security Check" and 2 guards standing there. At this point, what the damn sign should have read was "Parking Sticker Check" or something like that.

The whole idea of this stunt is that, there are not enough students buying those pathetic parking stickers. Why in the name of all that's holy should we spend more money on a stupid sticker when I do not drive to campus often enough to need it? and why should some of us pay for a sticker that does not garuentee us a parking space? It's always full, and there's plenty of Creative Parkers to make life more difficult trying to manuvure a car in or out a parking space.

I know many people including myself, do not have their own cars, which should not be a problem. The problem starts when some of us have assignments and need to meet up to do it. So I drive there, cause its safer, and more comfortable, and its night time. Melaka is a safe place, but I do not fancy doing a 400-meter sprint if anything happens.

Ok, fine, the sticker is not that expensive they might argue, but I have 2 cars my household has 2 cars, not rich, but cause parents comes in pairs. So i am at liberty to choose which car to drive which is already parked outside the house (makes life easier). But somehow, those 'geniuses' at the top, thinks its a very smart idea to limit the same of those stickers to 1 per student. What in the world are they trying to do? They want us to buy the stickers, but they are limiting the sale of the stickers. I do not drive to campus often nor do I need to drive to campus often, cause I can walk. I am just there to finish up some assignments/project that needed doing.

Considering everything, I don;t drive to campus often, if I do, its only for a few hours, lack of parking space, creative parkers, does not warrant me to buy a damn sticker just so I can park the car in my own porch...
