Bitchy Days

As the time I’m writing now, there is 27 more days before I reach to the end of my journey… AWW CUT THE CRAP.

I’m going to see all those peeps back in Kuching and finally get to experience Malaysia like a Malaysian. As you may wondered, why am I going all goofy on somewhat a BORING AND INDECENT place like Kuching? Let ME tell you one thing, when you live somewhere else, you do have this sense of insecurity inside oneself and you feel loneliness that you may have never experience.

FCUK, let me give you some insightful examples;

IMG_0130 You start acting like a bitch/KENNY

DSC01023 You feel small in this BIG WORLD

Now you understand why some people go gay or awkwardly crazy when they are out from their original states they were born into. But no, that’s not it. With so much assignments, test and exams reaping into your door every moment, you ALSO start cursing foul words and turn/twist different profanity to express your sorrows and anger.

Eg.

NICK (This does depict any real person) : CHEEBYE. 98 in Physics NIA!

Bryan : ZZZ…

~~~

YII FUNG (This also does not depict any real person) : Aiya never study one la. Chemistry also very hard for me le.

The following day.

YII FUNG : 95% NIA!

Bryan : ZZZ.. Bitch

~~~

How about those many times where words are used indecently and involuntary as our mouth muscles are not in control? You tried to control your motor mouth and show that you are indeed a downright down-to-earth goodwill person but it just came out of the sudden. This is what we call

GLOBALIZATION

Don’t you think its wierd when you hear Africans say CHEEBYE out of nowhere. Hokkien people should be praise of their efforts in educating the global community. Why is that so? Cheebye, Lanjiao, Kan Ni Na, Pu bo, Pu Kang is some of the most common words used today. And where did it came form, us HOKKIENS. WE SHOULD BE PROUD AS I am indeed proud to be one of this visionaries.

Before I stray too far, let me get back.

Bryan's phone Bitch!

IMG_0093 CheeBye!

sppeeedddyyy Awesome!

DSCF0005 Damn!

Yes, my world is filled with this type of westernised and hokkienized words. That is what I learnt in Australia. This words can be indeed useful.

So I’m telling you, there is no wrong in profaning everyday. It is used everytime. If anyone is to say that were you raised in the longkang, you can always say that my MUMMY AND PAPA ALSO SAY THAT WHEN DRIVING LE. OK, done deal.

As soon as we learn the many ways to communicate, we can even write pitiful stories with profanity to give it more feeling.

Girl : I want you to bring me to somewhere expensive ok, not KFC.

The Definition of Holidays

Taken from Wikipedia;

  • Official or unofficial observances of religious, national, or cultural significance, often accompanied by celebrations or festivities
  • A general leave of absence from a regular occupation for rest or recreation
  • A specific trip or journey for the purposes of recreation or tourism

Taken from Bryan Kho;

With the availability of friends in Perth close to zero due to the fact that many smelly rich kids went back to M’sia without me, I had to throw myself into an overload and spent my time with this band of brothers.

Holidays are an utter pleasure for some people but it definitely will sink your budget into an overdrive and even more if you are in somewhere new. Take an example, a spindrift female in KL. Though I can’t say more that holidays was indeed enjoyable and sinful at best. My diet wasn’t curbed at all with frequent fast food outings and polysaturated French fries.

During the early mornings what you can expect during a typical holiday in Perth;

Mid afternoons in Perth;

DSC00882 Fishing in the Cerulean Seas

Late-Afternoons in Perth;

 

DSC01656 Molesting fishes

DSC01609 Getting all excited for nothing

DSC00908 Watch Live Action Jaws

Consequently, everything had an ending. Holidays do end abruptly as a matter of fact. Whether or not time passes by when individuals are having fun or rather God has trick up his sleeves, holidays are probably defined as something unusual and meaningless if that was the case. You do not gain anything in return instead you daddys money for unbeneficial activities. I am one humbly who do not agree with that.

DSC00884 Whattt? You talking to me?

(A overdued serious post)

Holidays are a time for relaxation and freedom. Breaking apart one souls to the environment rather than work loads on just computers and books. Somewhat I did understand people tend to be merely more busy during the holidays going out rather than during their exams. That’s because people find it enjoyable. If studies or university courses are enjoyable such as that, they too will look forward to school itself.

DSC00886 

A time where people have the right to choose what they wanted to do, innovate and pretend. Now, it’s all about being pretenders of our very souls to each of everyone. Who gives a damn if you had money? That’d make other people happy but do you really need that much money if your spending half of your life doing something that you hate?

Go figure if you were to live your life 24 hours a day with 1/3 of the time spending on your job. Your not sane if you pick something that you didn’t like at all.

***

Holidays are closely related to work and ultimately, college. They work with each other to tell us something. A time to think. A time to choose. A time to conclude. And of course, a time for relaxation. This holiday meant much to me as much as some other pesky mosquitoes lurking in the shadows wanting my blood. It’s a feeling that you can’t forget.

DSC00864

That said, I did had feelings before the holiday. Feelings of insecurity, feelings of hopelessness, feelings of lust, feelings of desire and feelings of deviation from real life. Those feelings never did get me through this holiday smiling every moment but even with that, I did smiled outright inspite of everything’s going to hell. I enjoyed it and learnt something amidst of all the thing that is not going according to plan. I am contented.

***

I want to thank god for bringing me to this so-called sacred place. I want to thank my uncle for sponsoring countless of money. I want to thank my relatives for their support. I want to thank my friends for being friends. I want to thank myself for taking some good photos.

Periodically

A word NOT to describe this blog. As I promised, this blog will continue its valiantly triumphant updates every so and then and even more so active in my mid term holidays, I deliberately disagree that as I seem to have this word ‘lazy’ across my mind all the time.

BTW, my holidays are like 1 week only, and this is my only holiday for like… the whole foundation? WTFF (That other F is “Freaking”)

Firstly, I think that this blog lacks a few things;

  • Life in Perth (It’s stated in the title and I do not really describe anything on it)
  • More general things (Like MJ’s death or Swine Flu)
  • My brand new guitar
  • More pictures of other people. (I just keep on forgetting to bring my camera, damn
  • More better taken pictures (I don’t have DSLR ok, I normally use iPhone to take only)

Nevertheless, I’ll try to blog more if I can. Reminds self to bring camera*

And yes college life is a bummer.. (Thanks Nat for reminding me that)

~*~

And I never had the chance to say this before I went down under

I miss Kuching, all the people, all the piracy, all the food, all the imperfections and most of all, the AVAILABILITY OF A CAR TO DRIVE

If I ever had this chance to go back to Cat City again, I’ll certainly do this few things;

DSC00262 Make those guitars produce noise

DSC00263 Support Piracy

DSC00268Shout “Sohai” or “Noob” every now and then

DSC00269 Visit this girls house every now and then

DSC00233 Hang out with them dudes (Which mostly involve having CS tourneys in Cybercafes)

DSC00253 Go ‘Spring’ Shopping literally (Man I miss my short hair!)

DSC00276 Tell this ‘Guy’ to buy more of those alcohol filled chocs

But most of all…

Perth in Review (Part 1)

Why so busy lately?

DSC00481  Have been busy dodging bombs. (FIY, SOY means Soil on You or in other words, Shit on YOU)

Perth is as a matter of fact, a great place to live though there is not much ‘Hua Na” roaming the streets anymore. Thank goodness. Terrorism be gone Whether it is a good thing for some people, there is still those Aussie Slang running around your mind every now and then. You will receive heaps on greetings containing, “Luv”, “Darling”, “Sweetie” and the all famous “Teddy Bear". I am not a cute cuddly toy mind you but they Aussies don’t really take those words seriously as to their real definition.

Nevermind about that I say. They wont rape me that’s for sure. Right?

 DSC00332 Like I said, “No Hua Na, no terrorism"

Another thing is, those fences or jail bars that we seem to cage around our homely home are long gone in Australia (Well in some cases). They are not inviting any robberies or rape cases and some sort, it cause crime in Australia is more well controlled than Malaysia. You walk at 12 midnight and what do you see? No shady man, no massacres, no nothing (Well, I still don't recommend you to walk at that time of night). Though aggressive drivers are more likely to be seen in Australia.

 DSC00315 A typical street in Perth

In Malaysia, the car chases are a bore compared to Perth. Don’t you find it awkward that a car chase have a ninety percent chance that the car they are chasing is a KANCIL? I mean seriously, they don’t make movies like Italian Job anymore. "Reporting a prime suspect in aggressive driving, a black Kancil driving at 90kmp/h. Calling in backup in Batu Tujuh. We may have duit kopi if we do catch them" depicting a actual car chase in Malaysia in English.

As I said previously, cars here such as brand new Mazda can be sold as cheap as a plain old junk called the Kancil. I am so sad that we all have been cheated all along. Say thanks to the Prime Minister of Modernization. He’s the one who came up with this brilliant idea.

DSC00348 Perth Public Transport in comparison with Kuching? Laudable

Besides all that ranting, there are also other things to be well kept aware of. The many places to visit in Perth of course. From Perth City itself, strolling over the famous Swan Lake, feeding seagulls at Fremantle Port, having a picnic at Kings Park, feeding yourself at Chinatown, getting lost at Curtin University, going Wind Surfing at the beach, and all in 30 to 1 hour drive from the suburbs, you can’t go wrong getting bore at this place. Though, night life here is particularly amiss in Perth. Most shops close at about 5.30pm. The agony for us, the bliss for those businessman.

 

DSC00418 Chinatown, the only place with nightlife (Well, doesn't really look like Chinatown)

DSC00383 The Beach (Forget whats it called)

DSC00362 London style Chinatown

DSC00359 Pwetty Unknown Flowers

 

 

OH YES. You can easily get fat here..

 

 

DSC00479 Fish and Chips + Me = Orgasmic Dietary Malfunction

DSC00423 What Naruto fans like to eat. (The best Ramen is available in Fremantle Market)

 

Anyway, my first impression of Perth compared to Kuching is “Beats the Hell out of it in some ways”

Since my hair is itching to get a shampoo rinse, I’ll be signing off up to this point. Be sure to check out for more upcoming post about Perth and a review on the iPhone 3G.

This is definately a must for those iPhone haters cause I was one of them last time but now, I have become a fanboy. I proudly admit it.

So to sum it all;

KUCHING : PERTH = 0 : 1

The Great Escape (Finale)

Am I finally settled in Perth, Australia? Not entirely.

Anyway, totally very stupendous sorry for the late post. Been pretty busy lately. Trying to balance gaming, travelling, preparing and chatting is pretty hard. And finally now, I found time to blog! Yay.

I’ll make this post short and simple for suckers who never visited Australia, understandable.

Perth is something like Kuching.

DSC00297 image

Pretty similar ain’t it? (Sorry about the noise in the first picture. My camera can’t really take dark places)

Just that the buildings are taller, city is bigger, streets are bigger and a cleaner well kept river.

Though with all the similarities, is hard to say that Kuching is on par with Perth. In here, you can see that alot of immigrants from all over the world are here blabbering their own accent. From the Konichiwa type to the Brits, the ni hao ma and the ‘Au’ Fe’ De sen’ (I wonder how to spell that), you can find them in all sorts of skin colours. Still the majority is Australians of couse but its quite hard to tell whether they are citizens or coming from say America. ULTIMATELY, this proves that there is a reason they all flock to this enchanted bay. You know whats that?

CHEAP CARS!

image 22-30K AUD

image 20-25K AUD

And to top it all of;

image 11-12K AUD. ( RM28K. Cheaper than Malaysia!!)

Though the only proton car I seen so far was someone driving is a metallic white Gen-2. Poor Bastard..

That’s all folks. Remember to check my blog next time for the REAL review of Australia. Tata.

(Lesson of the Story Kids : Malaysia are ****tards and never will exempt their overpriced tax rates in imported Cars and other items. They want stupid people like you and me to buy their home made junks. MALAYSIA BOLEH! BULLY)

The Great Escape (Part 2)

I’m finally at Aussie. Honestly, I’m kinda homesick. From the absence of Proton cars zipping past the highway, Asians who are like rarely to be seen, blondies everywhere you walk, you sure are going to say “Ha?” or” Wow”.

Anyway, currently I am surfing the web in my cousins house. It’s alot faster than Malaysian Internet I can assure that. For now, I’m pretty free, but with my cousins Wii and his Uber Awesome Rig to be accompanying for me the next few days, I am sure going to be busy =D. I guess gaming do run in the family. Kekekeke. Photos coming soon.

Damai Puri Memoirs Finale

The final take and the finale that you have been waiting for. Took me quite some time before I decided to post it up due to many reasons. But who cares about details, it’s finally here.

Do me a favor and do not trust Nathaniels part of the story. His lies will only brainwash you.

Starring our wannabe heroes;

group Natalie, Brenda, Joan (Can’t come up with a nice name xD)

Day 3

Our plan to wake up to see the sunset was screwed again cause we couldn’t bare to be awake at half past 5. And Nat was part of the crew that did say he didn’t want to wake up also. Put the blame on Soni. She kept us awake for too long. Damn you to the bits of every circuits you have.

P3080131 This reason for our sinful act of ‘slothing’ around

We woke up early again to catch up with breakfast. The moment we set foot on the hardwood of Elements, all we saw was the foreigners which was busy lining up for food. And the line was as short as Nat’s “pen”. There was barely a chinese soul in the whole place. Though it feels a lil tweesy bit scary to be eating with all those tall people, we still preferred eating with less people. No need to be scrounging every fried potatoes that you see. Though we seem a little sad as this was our last day..

P3100253 “So I was saying, Condom or Contraception?” Jeff uttered. BK in deep thought.

P3100251That is what Nat do in his free time. Gawk at people who are eating.

On a side note, we saw a small group of Malays or “Pau Tau’s” who looks to be a part of a political group. So, that is what they do to help the country??? Go figure.

After our faithful meeting in Elements, Nat said he wanted to some big business in the toilet. I wonder whether is starts with a letter Musterbate or Shit. So me and Jeff went for another old folks session at the Activities area and went for some Congkak fun. It’s where you put marbles into many holes and you yourself tries to collect them in your own homebase hole. It’s simple really though it’s complicated to tell here.

When Nat is finally done with whatever he had to do, we walk all the way back to our crib to do some little packing of our own before heading out to the beach.

DSC00140 Honestly, he looks ugly here xD

DSC00142 “Can you like stop hitting on my chick.. OH MY GOD, what are you doing to my SONI?” Nat screamed.

Not long after that, we were finally at the beach. Our first visit to the beach wasn’t that aspiring or memorable as we didn’t had much time to be swimming there. All we saw there was an overweight foreigner lady, a grandma I think who was bracing the waves and the locals playing some sort of futsal with no goal post.

The beach was much cleaner than the beach at Santubong Resort I can assure that.

DSC00152 For those people who are constantly emo, can come here to let out some steam

DSC00155You know which place will take it’s toll if a tsunami comes.

DSC00159 If you guys learn geography, can you tell me what is this phenomenon?

And yes, we did a little cam-whoring at the same time.

P3100272 Do we call this an extreme sport?

P3100274 Obviously you see that mine is bigger ^^

P3100275 The majority of Suku people had just increased that day

P3100277 Trying to be gangsta.. Which he will fail miserably

DSC00164 Nat’s and Jeff’s single life turn out to be like this..

DSC00163 Though it then turn out that they love someone called MELVIN.

With all that fun to be had, we finally retire to the hotel, or only me who did that. The rest of the group for another round of swimming which I gladly skipped. We knew our time is up and we had to retreat to our safehouse back at Kuching. Our 600 was well spent excluding of all that food that we bought and the fuel that we used paid to Nat. Yes, it ended quite abruptly. Quite like a blow to our stomachs.

DSC00146

Not that but i mean..

P3100283 Sad…

DSC00182 Despair…

We marched onwards to the checkout counter with our overloaded luggage. We were about to resume our daily activities before the eye of the storm (SPM Result). With everything planned out, Jeff will continue trying valiantly to be Lin Dan and struggle in Form 6, Nat will be busy applying for scholarships in Chemical Engineering and joining those geeky ass science competitions and lastly Me, who will furthering studies in Perth sooner or later, we were even more ‘emo’. Those was very sad moments..

Though Nat was more worried about money that we had to split up and paid to Nat. Yes, its very true. A snobbish scholar who cares more about money than his friends… Sob

We packed our belongings to Nat’s "Proton or Perodua" (Due to CD's concern on my limited knowledge of Malaysian Cars and his overwhelming support in Malaysian Cars) Viva and drove off back to Kuching. That was the end of our trip to Damai Puri…

P3100264 Sayonara

OUTAKES BY SINCERELY, US (NAT, JEFF, BK)!

Tears in Heaven... Literally
More than Words... But barely enough lyrics

Emo guy failed badly at emo song
