stupid us

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

the world is nearing apocalypse. i’m pretty sure of that.

willingly,we’re continuously being subjected to unfairness and so much torture we’re getting too used to it. unsurprisingly, some even swear they love it.

by all means , please analyse these situations:

1. we pay water bills and all the cukai pintu, cukai taksir n the sorts but yet, the water coming out from our taps, are murky ,brown n obviously contaminated with side products of the metal oxidation process.eventually,we get a water filter n fork out more money, and we,being authentic malaysians,pry among the neighbours  by :    " hey, mine is shinier, bigger and more efficient, and it comes with a 5 year warranty and look! free, water tumbler. howzat?"

i can almost hear the water filter companies go laughing all the way to the bank.

2.we have to ridiculously pay 5 dollar per hour for our car to be parked in filthy, swampy carpacks after 15 minutes of searching of vacancy, and then i see a sign saying :DISCLAIMER: " we will not be held liable to any damage, loss or misfortunes towards ur vehicle. thank u." how they even dare say thank u, you mother@#%%%$#!!

3.oil prices go up and credit cards are being debated not to b used in oil pumps. i havent got a problem with that. but what do troubles me is the very scarce chances untill it comes up to the point of luxury to get ur windscreen cleaned,ur tyres pumped n ur receipt be delivered. and whats with the filthy toilets and impossibly high prices in their convenience stores?  wake up people, WE PAY THEM 4 THE SERVICES.

3. there’re at least 37 toll booths in klang valley only. to build highways they say, for driving convenience they say,to increase efficiency and time they say ,almost everytime they plan to built new tolls.(we just love u so much samy vellu)

frustratingly, we still stuck in 3 hour traffic jams and guess what, the longest one was lining up to get our tolls paid in toll booths.

God forbid, i hope that one day, one very weary, tired consumer will realise this blatant injustice n stand up to have their say, but wait,"too fussy-lah", "can still make a living what..", "why bising2 this is life man"…n heaven forbid, how many other millions of excuses will come up.

At least, i have done my part. * Sigh*

p’s: thank u patrick

Kuching: An enlightment Vol 2

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

u think kuching is like another town is semenanjung? then welcome to the club. ithink so too. and boy, was i so wrong.

to make reading easy i list my views in point forms,

  1. church st theresa is sama besar dgn masjid jamek sarawak.if not bcoz of the illuminating , gigantic cross, it would easily pass as a museum or istana budaya back in kl.
  2. toll ada satu saja in kuching, thank god samy vellu has not seen any potential value in sarawak. there also only three R&R, no highway but loads, and loads of roundabouts in sarawak.
  3. kuching is the land of toyotas, u can find toyota models here where back in kl takde, camry, corolla, vios, hilux, highlander, ipsum, opa, gaia, innova,nadia, and many others, but theres a LOT of toyotas..
  4. roti hi-fi, gardenia, keropok lekor, yong tau foo, tau foo fa sumer takde. so sorry fans..
  5. they make mean , cheap pisang goreng in many varietes, u can choose wether u want pisang goreng tanduk, or pisang abu or pisang  nangka, ( 10 cents per piece)
  6. signboard of shops here are very direct,
  7. say a shop simply say, " kedai photostate" " buy it here" " bookooo" , and to my amusement, "pusat tuisyen alam flora"( ahahahahahahaha).

no wonder i smiled from one ear to another. hehe

Kuching: An enlightment Vol 1

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

First thing first.Travelling makes me nauseous. Ever heard of motion-sickness?Well, i’m a among the unlucky masses.

so when my uncles and aunties plan on a 130 km ride to sri aman, sarikei and batang ai, i wasn’t exactly thrilled to tell u the truth. dread is more like it.

On the plus point, imagine 7 full grown men and women (my family of course) being jumbled up in a kia spectra for a 6 hour ride.

Not exactly a nice picture.

uc, sarawak is larger than peninsular malaysia, so lets just put that the ride to miri is equavalent to a complete , solid 12 hours journey from seremban to perlis back and forth, without the pleasure of R&R.

but tell u what, i came back fine, vomit-less, headache-less, and un-nauseaous.

i think the long journey kindof harden u up. orang melayu kata "alah bisa , tegal biasa."

in fact this is the best journey i’ve gone through so far,,regardless of the non-existent super mega malls, theme parks straight highways or simply roti gardenia( they dont even have hi-fi over here, can u believe it?)

i’ve learned that it turns out that padi huma or padi bukit is literally padi being planted on bukit, imagine bukit2 yg kite lalu tepi highway yg full of bushes, so transform that image into pokok padi.i’ve learned how to distinguish lada hitam and lada putih and witness the very own pokok itself. i’ve learned how to apreciate greenery, bcoz i know and we all know u can never witness greenery that much back in semenanjung( sarawakians call us "orang malaya" or "orang semenanjung") amidst all the pembangunan.

and the people, the longhouses ,the food, oh man the food is simply georgeous even tho i thought the lack of " pedas " in its food a little disappointing. mi kolok, mi sapi, laksa sarawak, mi belacan n cucur , kuih cincin, ais krim with gula apung,air pisang..they just completes my heaven.

my message is, come to sarawak. u never regret it.(ada bunyik2 camelia tak?)

post-utp

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

hey,
4 those who like kecewa they couldnt get utp, please dont.
the Only point we go there is to waste time n catch up with old friends who suddenly look very  diffrent  up to the extent  u dont  recognise u  anymore. (likewise them to me).
And when i ask , " skolah mana selalamalama nh?"
they replied " oh, TKC,"
Pause.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooo…………
n u forced 2 add, " Hebat jugak ko nh"

N then , there;s the english problem..
i mean, i’ve seen this people who just STUCK whenever they want to convey ideass due to limited vocab.
i say, cakap jelah bm, kite kan dudok malaysia…whats with the fuss with english, yes it is important but it saddenns me the most when it sets double standards among us.

"weh, psst.. terror english…..mesti anak orrang kaya..mesti dudok kl."
like i didnt hear that

come on, u cannot live in kelantan and b good in english is that what u mean,?
typical malaysian mentality..
someone even asked me what wass it like dudok in kl?
eh?
is it wrong to live in kl?

if u dont believe me, try going into these massive camps where participants came all over malaysia n tell them u live in k.l. and add a slang , (like put emphasis in the word K.L, as in KEY-ELL like a qalqalah with 2 harakah in it.
trust me, u’ll get some ‘faces’

P/s" they real reason korg takyah nk kecewa is like tpt ke oversea only 110 out of (600×3). tolong kirakan..mmg susah babeng.

shopping is real bliss..

Friday, December 9th, 2005

referring to subject matter above, i’ve got to add that it is the case when the money ur spending is not from your pocket.haha

i would like to discredit the universal fact that shopping Your clothes with ur mother is a total bane and deemed uncool.

the fact: my mom has just spent over RM 500 on only 7 HELAI,not pairs of MY clothes of labels from South China Sea, Ms Read , Looney tunes, Moon, Pinque and nearly from Padini as it was too short, i had to take it back bcoz my mom wouldnt approved it.(though reluctantly.i mean u simply cannot resist a padini’s shirt for only over RM 30. 00 ???)

we’re talking about owning at least 10% design of clothes that our average pocket money wouldnt afford.( the remaining 90 % of design wasnt’ approved namely because: 1. too short 2. too showy
3. the colour is like "kain cina mati"( these were her exact words when i showed her a khaki coloured blouse) 4.i want u 2 wear orange 5. baik tak payah beli , kt terengganu 20 ringgit jerh…6. aper pakai baju lapis2 nih? ( on clothes yg baju lain, lengan kaler lain)7.too ketat n soo  much more..

phew. my mom could pass as an ustazah.

perfect match anyone?

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

ahh…baru habis tgk full house dgn cara illegal(aiman, r u reading this?)

it makes me wonder..does incompatible match, mixed personalities, behaviour that are totally  oppposites in a relationship is THE so-called perfect match?. some scientists even swear by them, they put up some very scientific mumbo-jumbo about how we produce  smells called feromones that attracts the opposite sex. thats how you get drop-dead gorgeous guy/average looking girl and j-lo/scruffy lad(read;mark anthony..no, hes not sexy at all)

incidentally, my views r somehow shared by a life n times writer,Kitty Kaye who brought up an interesting stoy regarding this issue, so im  gonna copy paste the story 4 those yg maleh nk baca paper..

basically its about what she heard on the radio pasal soal jawab antara couple untuk dpt voucher kedai furniture(ikea la kot takkan courts mammoth )

…….its the perfect match show where the station calls a couple and ask one partner a q? about the other and hopefully, the poor partner will get at least three out of five questions.

…….First q? , she answered that she would spend any winnings on ‘clothes 4 our new baby’
2nd q?  she said something about wanting 2 spend more time with our new baby.
3rd q?….she answered that she likes roses.
4th…q? was something like she found his eyes 2 b the sexiest and 5 th, she replied "i prefer light colours"

the male partner was asked the same questions. his replies was supposed 2 match hers 2 show they really are soul partners.

to the first q? , he succintly replied "Shoes!" to which she replied out loud, "What ? Shoes? , what gives u that idea!"

Then to the second question, he said still with confidence, "Sleep"
Ooh, not good, not good at all,
and the poor man bravely(but with his confidence wilted), went on, to answer the 3rd q?, "She doesnt like flowers" and here, an agonised squeal filled the airwaves.

Admirably, the man soldiers on with the fourth q? where he regained some confidence and i could almost c a slow smile on his face, "my arms of course".
By this time, there was only silence from her and he quickly replied the fifth question, "Black!…i think" afte a short pause.
Poor guy, he didnt stand a chance .
Not at all.

U c, after further assessment, some people think this is just a poor couple who doesnt have the time to know each other really well yet.

well, i just thought the girl lied in the first place.

p/s; oops, i think i ve wrong spelt excercise in my recent post, so…to english teachers and conservatives..my apologies

excercise? i thought i left that one 6 months ago..
