i find that everytime i come to this page (editing page), i begin to think whether is it necessary to blog anymore. i'm reminded that the only reason i blogged was because of certain motivations then. and now, as those motivations are gone, i'm beginning to lose interest in blogging. or even maintaining a blog.
you have no idea how many posts i left unwritten. many were started with passion and inspiration, but halfway thru i'll just save it and leave it. they were always left unfinished because i always think they aren't reading-worthy-material. hence, i actually find no need of telling my piece of mind on blogs. cause i want them to mean something more i guess.
the reason i'm blogging right now is because this blog reminds me of the me i was, that made the me now. hence i'm talking to myself now to give a second chance to this blog instead of just do euthanasia. i think thats how you phrase that word. think. i miss my old blog lah.
so yes, i is giving my blog a second chance to hit fame haha. tell the world.
having said that, i think that blogging (to me lah) is for me to understand myself more, but for you to know that i exist lah.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord.

What Makes A Malaysian A Malaysian
okay. before i start, just want to announce that my update on vietnam will be coming soon. and its gonna be a looong one. and after you finish reading it, you'll be begging your parents to go vietnam with me. ;P
alright. back to the topic. received an e-mail. had a good laugh. so share loh. nah, read:
1. You can name all the players from the the English Premier League, but ask you to name one football player from Malaysia , one name also cannot come out.
edit: i know shebby! xD
2. When StreamyX come, you complain StreamyX too slow. When Maxis Broadband come, you complain Maxis Broadband always disconnects. When WiMax come, you complain Wimax too expensive. In the end, you say StreamyX still the best lah.
edit: they complain in circles to reach square one. =.=
3. When toll price increase, you complain. When petrol price increase, you complain. When you go Starbucks buy RM10 coffee, NO COMPLAINTS.
4. When you cannot find parking in a shopping mall and have to walk very far, you complain. When you go inside the shopping mall and there's SALE, run from one end of 1Utama to the other also NO COMPLAINTS.
sexist edit: girls lah! most guys don't have this problem wan. =P
5. You are always late. And the excuse you give when you're late is always either:
(a) traffic jam
(b) no transport
(c) cannot find parking
6. You have a parent who force you to take science stream in high school, study engineering in Uni, then when you graduate, they ask you to forget everything you learnt in Uni and do commerce.
7. You know someone who can specially develop an angmoh accent when speaking to a American / British / Australian.
edit: so darn true!! JAPANESE ACCENT ALSO GOT WTH. better still, thru the phone!! @.@
8. You complain against the government in kopitiam, you talk loud loud. Leave anonymous comments on blogs, you also talk loud loud. Attend ceremah by DAP, you shout loud loud. Then when Opposition organise a protest and ask you to go, you dun wan. Scared later kena tangkap by ISA.
9. Every year on the 30th April, you are one of the people below queueing up last minute to submit your tax return at the IRB.
10. When you pay RM10 for something that costs RM1, you blame the Chinese.
11. When a government service is too slow, you blame the Malays.
12. When a building is not good and collapsed, you blame the Indians.
13. When a Chinese student won a scholarship, you say 'Wah! Very clever hor?'
14. When a Malay student won a scholarship, you say 'Aiya! Of course lah! He Malay mah!'
15. When an angmoh stranger kiss you on the cheek to say hello, you very happy. When a Malaysian guy kiss you on the cheek to say hello, you slap him.
thats all. i've no intention on causing racial tension by posting this up, its all JUST for laughs, and its quite true (some of them). so yeah, hope i don't end up in ISA for stupid reasons like this. did i say stupid? okay. done.
p/s: despite all the shitty comments i hear about m'sia, i'm still proud to be a malaysian! and insya-allah (it means God-willing), i would want to make here, a better place.

merry christmas and boxing day.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
our prime minister visited my church today. was a cool experience although i couldn't shake his hand. (kinda lazy to)
PM giving his speech
i'm lazy to type what i think and feel about christmas and the pm and all. basically its just like an ordinary day for me lah. apart from the pm's visitation.
(i think)the best part of this year's christmas is actually just playing ps in daniel's house, the way we play winning eleven is totally hilarious. van der sar played striker, and scored.
boxing day - 26th dec.
i didn't know what boxing day commemorates, but i just know its on the 26th of december. according to sam, he says richard says that its a day where people exchange boxers (the ones you wear). lol. and i thought it was a day to commemorate some famous boxers (people who box). so i wiki-ed it.
and wiki says boxing day is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society.
well, guess sam was partially correct. giving boxers as gift still counts i guess. lazy to tell more about the history of boxing day, go wiki it lah. just one cool fact about boxing day, technically, it cannot be on a sunday.
kay. lazy d.
Romeo save me, they're tryin' to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real!
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
p/s : i know the stanzas sounds mushy and all, but it kinda brings my mind back to those childhood days where the perception of love was so innocent, and pure. it painted quite a nice picture in my head lah haha. guess we're all kids somewhere inside us.
=)

can you feel the love tonight (tonight)
was it can or can't. i can't remember.
anyways, SAM results are OUT! but, only the softcopy available xD that means i can only view my results online. which i'm restricting myself to in order to not potong the suspense.
and thats why i'm awake. and every now and then, tempted to go to that website and view my results. one thing good about that webste is everyone's resuts are discreet, so that only they can view it for themselves. thank God. if not, about a hundred people would start calling me up and go like: ''eh you got **************** lah." i even hate the thought of it.
and this friday is myHope. this friday is also the collecting results day. this friday is definitely gonna be a long day. so yeah. God have mercy.
anyways, lets not talk about results. lets talk about mamak. i think mamak workers need to do a few things. let me try to describe without using pictures.
#1 they need to shave
#2 they need to go for 'how to hear with clarity' course
#3 they need to smile, you know? like this:
imagine being approached by a waiter like this one above, crap. i don't know about you, but i don't feel like telling my orders to someone whose face says: "slap my face, you know i need one." kay lah. bit too much there. but i'll FREAK lah if someone like that approaches me to take my order.
"s'cuse me sir hehe.. may i take your order *THAT smile* hehe."
ANYWAYS, urghh. yes they need to shave. why? so that their facial hair won't find its way to my mouth. and for those who have ear hair (SAM students, its not mr munin okay. oops.) its good to shave that part so they can hear properly.
yes, and they need to attend the 'how to hear with clarity' course. this is to prevent occasions like:
scenario 1
uncle: *smooching sound* mee goreng mamak satu.
**5 minutes+ later**
waiter comes with a plate of nasi goreng mamak
uncle: ini mee goreng mamak?
scenario 2 part 1
boy: teh o' limau panas satu
**awhile later**
waiter comes with teh o' ais limau
boy: err. nvm. *drinks*
not so bad. he just didn't get the panas part. its okay,
scenario 2 part 2
boy: teh o' ais satu
**awhile**
waiter comes with teh ais.
first he forgot the panas. then, he f_rg_t the o.
but so far, the best was still this:
Scenario 3
uncles: sirap limau ais satu.
**took a long time**
waiter comes with wet kuay tiau hahahaha. how did it happen? God knows.
and all these took place in Tanjung. or rather, Mamak Bistro. at USJ 9 and SS14. so yeah, be warned lah. so you don't have to be surprise when your maggi goreng turns into susu ais, just act surprised.
talking about waiters, i reckon its an occupation that nurtures patience. i was once a waiter at TGIF. they pay good =) and its NEVER boring there. also, you'll get to see all types of customers there.
customers who...
'knows it all.' (mocha is pronounced as 'moh chah')
are plain stupid.
treat waiters like dogs.
wants something OUT OF the menu. simplified as VS. (not vern sheng, but VERY STUPID.)
tip well =D
are stingy like wth. one cent not spared kinda stingy.
have sex in restroom. (wth right?) don't ask me how. lazy.
insist to have something their way, and blames the waiters when it sucks. (VVS)
wants EVERYTHING that is free. (even kids meal HAHAHA)
kay. the list is never ending and redundant. so yeah. but one of the funniest thing working there is Zach. my schoolmate/co-worker/futsal kaki. why? he's easily pissed. and to deal with those customers listed above was like well... you get the point. but he tries his best to keep his cool in front of customers. but when he goes into the kitchen. its a different story lol. the way he curses the customers really makes me lol.
"i ask my dad buy over your company and fire you.."
"use your.... to stir your own soup lah!"
"you think you got money then very big ah?.. (1st line above comes next)"
hahaha. i miss those times. anyway, in a totally seperate incident, where i used to attend KCC, terence, jacob and i where having our dinner at Steven's Corner. and we disliked a waiter there who always likes to upsale without permission. and so.. we decided to kacau him:
Terence: bang, give me one teh ais panas.
Jacob : watermelon lassi.
waiter : don't have watermelon lassi, only got mango lassi. boss what is this lah.
Jacob : watermelon juice without water.
*i forgot what did i told him*
we laughed like wth lah. and the waiter wasn't that happy, and started scolding us bit lah. then terence fired him back, saying smt like 'oh you not happy with us now lah, i tell your manager.' those were good times.
anyways, i know what to say to pms waiters now. some examples would be:
milo panas. kurang ais.
kopi susu kurang manis tambah gula.
telur s'tengah goreng.
i don't recommend you to use it unless the situation calls for it.
think i've talked enough. shall stop now.
