My colleague Philip, is a freelance photographer. He likes to shoot pictures and I can say that his skills are improving. Last week he showed me his lomography photos. I thought he bought the lomo camera kekeke….but he told me this can be done with photoshop!! Of course the effect is never the same with a real lomo and a fake lomo effect. But certainly you can make use of this instead of purchasing a real lomo camera which cost you a bomb!!

So what’s lomo? (got this from wikipedia)
Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Accidents such as over-saturated colors, lens artifacts, and exposure defects are rehabilitated to produce swirly, abstract effects — a trait emphasized by practitioners. Others use the technique to document everyday life, because the small camera size and ability to shoot in low light encourages candid photography, photo reportage and photo vérité.
He also gave me a link to look at some of the lomo effects people produce with photoshop…Arghh..I just love photoshop, don’t you?

So here’s my lomography attempt…I would say something different from the usual photo :). Nice touch and easy to achieve too hehe..

ORIGINAL

LOMO-ed

So anyone wants to try and show us their LOMO picture??

Fear

Last week, we went to Nam Hiong Chicken Rice Shop @ SS2 for dinner with MIL. They’ve got pretty cool deco on their wall, chinese opera mask!!

As we sat down and start ordering, I told Faythe those faces are like monster. Very ugly. At first she acknowledged it that those are monster face.

When we started eating our food, Faythe drank some of the soup and ate some rice. Then after a while, all of a sudden this is what happened:

Faythe: Mommy mommy (can see her face changed suddenly)
Mommy: yes…why..u want taufu?
Faythe: Mommy mommy (she sounded more desperate this time)
Mommy: Sit down huh, can’t get up..what you want?
Faythe: Mommy mommy (She’s staring at one of the mask and looked scared)

I decided to carry her, instantly once I carry her, she stopped Mommy-ing me and laid on my shoulder and hug me so tight (like hanging on her dear life).

I didn’t realised what was it at first, so I continued eating while she sat on my lap.

Once a while she will peep at the mask, but when we attempt to put her back to the high chair, she refused.

Then I asked her if the mask was the one she afraid off, she just kept quiet and laid on my shoulders again.

Conclusion, must be lahh…100% liao!!

Daddy tested the water by carrying her nearer to the mask and she shouted “Don’t want”

Thumbs up for the food, but thumbs down for the deco. It really nice to have something like this for a restaurant, but I guess when you have kids, those faces really looks scary. It’s like someone staring at you…eee…

Oct 26

I went for the much awaited Hytex warehouse sale. This is a really crazy WHS. The price goes as cheap as RM1/Rm2 per piece. People grab clothes like crazy *sweats*. I even saw some Mommies piling up clothes as tall as Faythe or even taller, all they’re buying!! Crazy kah!! But I can say it’s worth it since it carries brands like World Of Cartoon, Izzue, American Athletics, Garfield, Warner Bros.

This is the only WHS that goes for 1 month, and every week they will load in fresh clothes. If you have a lot time, you can try going every week :).

This year I went there twice. Once with Daddy & his friends, another time alone.

The first time (reached there 10am):
We head for the Rm2 section, too many people, nothing much to choose from. All sapu-ed by the aunties whom were sitting at the side busy sorting out the clothes!!

So we went to other sections (RM3/RM5/RM8) and it’s better, at least got room to move about. We manage to get quite a bit of clothes, even for myself!!

The funny incident:
We were almost done with the sapu-ing, I told Daddy I’ll just go look at the RM3 section 5mins then blah. But I went there, found a lot of pants and was happily digging. Forgot bout the 5mins.

Daddy came and shouted, “Oooii…ng sai chin kah (don’t need money one isit)”…OMG, that was so embarassing. I looked at him, then he started laughing. Everyone stopped and looked around who shouted that LOL. I guess it was like a reminder to everyone to shop wisely. I told Daddy, “I don’t know you one”..go far far away.

So no choice, gotta finish my shopping before he pulls another one on me.

The second time (arrived at 930am)
Since there’s so many people @ 10am, I decided to go there earlier. Actually my main aim is to get the stroller.

I was very wrong to think that there won’t be crowd at 930am!! The RM2 section again was filled with MAD people, grabbing and grabbing clothes. I got a bit fedup and just walk out. headed to RM8 section and I was the only one there kakaka…

I managed to get the stroller and more clothes. I even managed to get clothes for myself each for only RM8!!

Here’s what I’ve got:

Oct 22

I seriously enjoy all the festive holidays…but needless to say, I hate it before it arrives. Since like a month ago, the traffic has been bad. Due to our *you know who* friends gotta starve everyday and then pig-out during dinner, everyone tries to rush home to be on time to buka puasa. If you leave the office 5 mins late, that’s it!!

And to add salt to the wound, my MIL stays in TTDI. I’ve gotta fetch the kids from her place on the way home. And they’ve got this famous Pasar Ramadhan there. Well, I don’t mind the food, but it’s really creating a lot of traffic jam in TTDI itself!! Why can’t people park and shop properly. Gotta double triple park!!

So when Friday came, I thought, at last…most of the people are gone by now. But i was so so wrong. I left my office at 6pm+ on Friday after dropping off Annie at the carpark. The rain has stopped, but LDP in a standstill. So I decided to take penchala link. The hartamas there was jammed too, but wasn’t that bad, at least still moving. Once pass the toll, I was so relieved cause it was so smooth…

Then suddenly I saw in front, the road heading towards Damansara Perdana and Tesco was on a standstill!! Arghh..again I took a detour and turn to the other side to join at Bandar Utama.

I was supposed to turn at the 1u junction, but it was jam too, so I took the turn after that, made a U-turn and finally manage to cut thru at TV3. I head towards Centerpoint only to find that it’s also jammed!!!

By then it’s already 7pm+ and I’m so tired. My car not auto mah, so that left and right leg is really soring by now. And I’m dead hungry and also needs to go to the loo.

The rain has started again. I decided to take a break in Centerpoint. Had my dinner and packed dinner for the family from there too. I think I took a 15mins break, then on the road again, still jam!! Arghh…

But this time I’m more smart, I bought a magazine from a shop in Centerpoint. So while getting stucked there, I started reading. At last..finally, I reached home like 8pm+ and it was raining so heavily, got myself all wet though I had my umbrella.

Faythe was crying (scared of thunder) and was hanging on to me…Daddy as usual wants his dose of dinner. Haiyoo…so exhausted. What a day…Swearing & cursing still.

Oct 19
A trip to Chiangmai
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Travelogue | icon4 10 19th, 2006| icon325 Comments »

It was a very short notice. Daddy had 10 days leave, he decided we should make a short trip to Chiangmai as our yearly honeymoon. We try to go somewhere every year, just 2 of us. Last year was Bangkok, year before was Lang Tengah, so this year is Chiangmai. So I took off on Thurs & Fri and we had a 4D3N trip to Chiangmai. Kids as usual were left with MIL and maid.

Departing from LCCT

We took the skybus to LCCT. Cheap and convenient. When we arrived, the place was like a madhouse. There were so many people, I would say sea of people!!! Mostly Indons, making their wayback to homeland for Raya. The custom gotta scan thru all the cargo luggages, so everyone was like trying to queue up. Daddy went to buy the tickets while I queue up to get our luggage scanned.

And this SINGH fella (the one in blue turban), he was so so rude. He didn’t want to line up and just cut into the line. I exchange words with him prompting him that he should line up, the he gave some excuse that no one is following the line (there were 3 lines) so he dunno what to do (damn sick!!). I told him off and said he should line up and the line is so obvious. But he refused to move, and started cursing me, say I’m young lady and talk so much bla bla bla. Then he say you all should co-operate and don’t make so much noise.

Whoa..make me even more boiling hot, I told him if you want people to co-operate, firstly you better co-operate and go line up. But he still refuse to move. In the end, everyone start moving and moving and nobody allow him to cut in haha…serves him right.

I told Daddy bout this when he got his ticket, he just looked at me and laugh. This wife of his so fierce :P

On the plane

So we departed on time. I slept a bit in the plane then woke up. So bored nothing to do, started snapping photos. Daddy bumped into his friend in the flight. Apparently their company was organising a trip to Chiangmai, so he asked us if he wants to join him. He’s the boss mah..so he can say that lah. We looked at the itinery, 2nd day looks interesting. So we decided to join him for 2nd day tour. He later confirmed with the local tour guide for us. That’s really nice of him :).

Chiangmai - Day 1

We arrived there at 1130am KL time. We followed our friend and tag along for lunch. We are on free and easy, so anything goes. After that the tour guide told us to follow them for 1 day, we gotta pay Rm100 each. That was quite reasonable, including 2 meals. So we agreed. They stay just behind our hotel, so it was really convenient for us too.

After lunch, they went ahead with their own activities. We checked in to our hotel. We booked the hotel via Internet after going thru some review. It’s a 3 star, lobby looks pretty rundown, but the rooms are very well maintained. Most important clean!! So we settle down and decided to walk around the town. By the way, we were staying near night bazaar.

The map we got is not as comprehensive as the Bangkok one, so we decide to just walk and explore. Then we came to this Low Yat look alike place. They sell all sorts of electronic gadgets there. We were trying to locate the shopping mall, the locals told us there’s only 1, Robinson. So we took a tuk tuk there (100 bhat). It’s a mini mall, something like 1/2 of Sunway Pyramid. Nothing much to shout about.

They had food bazaar at ground floor, selling all sorts of food. We took some food from there. Daddy also bought some fried exotic food to eat (worms, crabs, grasshopper). But in the end never eat cause tummy upset hahaha…

We went back to hotel and then headed to night bazaar. It’s very weird, by 6pm, the skies is already getting dark. We walked around doing survey. We managed to get some cotton clothes for Faythe and Gabriel (our nephew). Then we went back to hotel to rest.

Chiangmai - Day 2

We started the day early following the tour. Our first stop is the Elephant Camp. The tourguide yak alot bout the elephant. He was speaking in Mandarin most of the time, so I had to do translation for Daddy throughout his yakking.

The entrance free is FOC to the camp. For people that wants to take the elephant ride, they need to pay RM40/person. It was a 30mins ride around the jungle. I would say it’s a good deal and worth the money. Most of us went on to the elephants. We had a lot of fun shouting at each other and taking photo for each other.

The place was pretty stinkco..cause the elephants *pang sai* as they walk (roll eyes). I managed to took a pic of the elephant *pang sai*. The *sai* was round haha and we were told that the *sai* is actually recyclable!! They collect and dry it and use it to make something (can’t recall). After that we proceeded to the elephant show where they made the elephants to go around, do some tricks. The elephants are so cute, they can even kick the ball. Then they also showed how the elephants draw. Yes!! They can draw (or rather I would say pat on the paper) with their trunk. The masterpiece they put on for sale and most of it were grabbed by the ang mo.

We had a chance to get close to the elephants. They are really a bunch of greedy elephants. They grabbed 2 bunch of bananas from me!! And ee…it was pushing me and trying to curl me up while Daddy tries to take photo. As usual, this scary cat Mommy screaming away LOL.

We left the elephant camp and head for the Orchid and Butterfly Farm. The orchids are beautiful, with so many colours. But the butterfly, really a far cry from KL’s butterfly park. There weren’t any butterfly at all!!

Next we had lunch at one of the restaurant. Food was OK. Nothing to complain.

After lunch, we went on a series of stop and go factories.

First we visited leather factory. We were given briefing of all the different types of skin. Picture shown here Daddy holding Ostrich skin. After briefing we went to their showroom to look around. Everything so expensive lah, so only took pics haha…They’ve even got pink crocs purse..nice colours :P.

Next we went to jewelry factory. Thai has ruby and sapphire mines. So they are actually pretty cheap there. We bought 2 rings previously when we were at Bangkok, so this trip we didn’t bother much. The first pic is actually a replica of the princess’s ring!! So many stones mannn!!! The tour stopped here for almost an hour cause some of them were buying jewelry. I got so bored, started snapping photos of Daddy’s eyes LOL.

After that, we adjoured to Carpet shop. This Pakistani guy showed us some carpets. The amazing thing bout the carpet is when you see it from diff angle, it gives a diff colour..Cool!! But when he told us the price lagi cool. The one that you see in the pic, that cost USD$650!! No joke mann…Everyone’s jaw dropped. Immediately after he showed us we went to touch and feel it, very nice haha..then all walk away and venture elsewhere LOL. There was also one carpet where they sewn some semi-precious stones on it.

Leaving the carpet behind, we then head to silk factory. We were shown how they actually separate the silk from the err eggs or dunno what lah. Wasn’t paying attention, was busy snapping photos. They even put life worms (pic 2) in the demo!! Ewww…Things are expensive too in silk factory. So all just look see. I bought a Silk bat for Daddy since he wanted it. He has this obsession over bat, cause he says chinese means *Fook*, good luck wohh..

Then we went to birds nest shop. Wah…tonnes and tonnes of birdnest and other food products. We tried a bowl of bird nest (RM15). Nice but different texture from KL.

We went for our 2nd last stop, the umbrella factory. This was the most interesting one. The umbrellas were actually made from either paper or cloth. Then the skilled people will do painting on them, very nice. As you can see in the pic (2nd one), Daddy took off his clothes and pretend he’s naked to take picture (roll eyes). Then the skilled people are also available to draw for us on our clothing. So everyone got so excited and most of us got them to draw motives on our pants. Daddy had a dragon drawn. Myself butterfly.

Our last stop was teak wood factory. I didn’t get down cause very engorged. Was in the bus waiting for dinner time to go express the milk. So no photos. Daddy told me the teak is very nice, but all so big peace lah and so expensive.

After that we went to have dinner by the riverside. Nice view and food was pretty good too. I was really a long day, we reached hotel at 8pm (I think). Took shower then went bazaar again for a walk. This time round we bought some aromatherapy oil.

Chiangmai - Day 3

We wanted to go to Doi Suthep (the temple on top of the hill) in the morning, but the tuk tuk driver told us evening is better. So we went for massage near our hotel. 2 hours massage, 2 people only RM750 haha…good bargain. I took a pic of the pug, the owner’s dog.

Then we had lunch at a restaurant near the bazaar area. The food was good and price reasonable (2 person like RM40-60). We had our dinner there as well.

Then at 3pm, we start our journey to Doi Suthep. It takes about 40mins to drive up the hill to the temple. The road was pretty windy, but not as bad as Genting.

There were a lot of people. This temple is right on top of the hill. Visitors has a choice to climb the 300+ steps or use the cable car. We climbed!! It wasn’t that bad after all. And I discovered that each step was actually donated by one person..Cool eh. There was this girl (wearing traditional tribal costume) sitting on the stairs. So I took a photo of her. After taking, she said, take photo must pay!! Wahh..OK lah, I paid her RM as I didn’t had any Bhat with me.

The view from the temple was OK, not realy great since there was a lil bit of haze. After that we decide to leave the place before it gets dark. On our way back…

Guess what..everyone were stopped by the police. We waited for like 15minutes…and here comes the princess (the white MPV) going up the palace. Apparently, they’ve got a winter palace up hill. So everyone had to stop and give way to the princess..haiyaa..and she never waive at us oso..cheh!!

At night we went to night bazaar for the last time to get some souvenirs. Then we head back to hotel to pack.

Chiangmai - Day 4

We were in the airport early to get the tickets. Daddy went to get it while I waited for him. Took some funny photos.

(1) all the EBM..transporting back to KL
(2) boxes and boxes for donation…
(3) huge baskets of vegetables…for the cargo flights

The duty free shop was really a far cry. Only 3 shops. Daddy had like 300 Bhat left and he didn’t wanna keep it since it’s no value. So he asked me to spend it. Went to one of the shop, and bought some chili padi crackers (yum yum), chocolates and also

(4) & (5) Lays - salmon teriyaki and mayo seafood flavour..nice nice..mayo seafood very nice, how come they don’t have it here??

The plane arrived 15mins early (first time in AirAsia history haha). As I walk to the plane, I saw this cute plane (Nok Air). They painted the plane like a bird, so so cute haha…can’t resist but to take a pic.

We arrived LCCT 30mins earlier than schedule. Went home ASAP to make sure all the EBM didn’t melt.

It was an enjoyable trip. Lots of sighseeing. For shopping nothing much. And who missed the kids most, Daddy lerr…

Oct 10

Vyktore turn 4 months old today. Lets look at this little boy’s milestone for the pass 1 month.

Vital Stats:
Length: Not sure, but the last measurement was like 60+!! Err can’t be that long lehh..
Weight: 3 weeks ago was 6.2kg, I think now he’s 7kg at least

His Diet:
Milk milk milk and more milk. He’s taking 5oz every 3 hours, for the last 2 weeks, he’s been waking up 2-3 times a nite (Mommy very tired!!). This week he’s back to single feed at 3am.

Physical development
Playful
He’s another playful baby, even worse than Faythe. He likes it very much when we start talking to him, after a while, he will start giggling and giggling.

Sucking fingers
He discovered that fingers are pretty delicious. He likes to suck on his fingers whenever pacifier is not available.

Rolling
He’s almost able to roll. Now is like 90 degrees. When he gets stuck, he will make a lot of noise to get our attention, so that we help him to accomplish his task.

Grabbing
He’s beginning to grab things around him. He does this while feeding. His hand will go swinging up down up down trying to grab hold of something

Solids?
Oh boy..he’s another *wai sek mao*. 2 days ago, I was feeding Faythe with some corns in cup at home. Vyktore was sitting next to Faythe. He stared at the cup without blinking his eyes, and his mouth was as though munching on the food!! Maybe I should start some cereal when he’s 5 months, I still wants him to go more on BM, there’s bloody hell lot of it in the fridge, if he reduce his milk intake I think I gotta dispose liao!!

More photos of Vyktore HERE

Oct 9

Faythe turned 21 months on 6th Oct (sameday as Mooncake Festival :P). I’ve noticed that over the last month, she’s grown up so much.

Vital Stats:
Height: 82cm still….
Weight: Last measured was 10.2, but I can feel that she’s much more heavier now!!
Teeth: Short of 6 more to her complete set

Eating routine:
2 times milk
2 times rice with soup, meat & veg
Many many times of snacks…
1 time vitamin & Cod liver Oil

I notice that everytime after recovering from sick, she goes into eating spree…luckily she doesn’t change to a picky eater, phewww…

She’s also very interested to try out new food, whenever we eat she must make sure she gets a taste of it unless we tell her there’s chilli!!

Development

Striking conversation
I can now strike some simple conversation with her. She still speaks only a word of two. Sometimes she attempts to combine them, but have not learnt the usage of AND, OR, etc.

Patience
She hasn’t been really patient when she was 18-20 months, but I can slowly see this evolving on her lately. She understands the meaning of patient and wait. Sometimes she gets too excited over something and can’t wait, but when Mommy tells her to be patient and try to talk to her, she will listen up and tries to understand.

Friendly
This is nothing new to her, she’s always a friendly toddler, now she will even say Hello and wave her hand when I tell her to greet people. She can also distinguish uncle, auntie, kor kor, jie jie, kakak. But she still gets mix up when she sees baby, she thinks that all babies are di di kekeke…

Sleeping
Only sleeps once a day, 2-3 hours. She had a funny sleeping habit few weeks ago, she attempt to sleep while sitting!! YES, resulted like a humty dumpty about to fall off..You can watch the video HERE and have a good laugh. She’s over with that, now she likes to watch TV then slowly doze off. This usually happens during daytime, night still very much the normal routine: READ-PRAY-KISS PARENTS-SLEEP.

Chatty
She talks a lot and almost speaking 3 syllabus. Her 3 syllabus one of it is butterfly..but nobody can tell what she’s saying except Mommy. She calls butterfly abat ta oo . She calls herself as Paythe (Faythe) sometimes. Sometimes she will call herself Boo (girl in Monster Inc.). *I think she’s watching too much cartoon liao!!*

Words
She pickup words extremely fast. Whenever we speak, she will repeat our last word!! OR she will pick up a few words along the line. She has no problem with pronouncing her words except F. It becomes P. So Faythe becomes Paythe, friend becomes prend. But she can pronounce Fly though.

Long-winded
Sometimes she’s very long winded. She keeps repeating the words again and again until Mommy has to say Yes, Faythe, correct. Then only she will be satisfied. I guess it’s part of growing up that she wanna make sure she’s speaking correctly and wants Mommy to say YES.

No-no-no
She has learned the word NO. Hasn’t use it on herself yet *Sweats*. She uses it on di di. When she sees di di puts his hand into the mouth, she will go grab the hand, take it out and say no no no. We always tell her this when she puts her fingers into her mouth, looks like she grasped the concept and applying it on her brother too.

Don’t want
I’m so relieved that now she can tell me what she wants and don’t want. When she’s hungry, she will say susu, but sometimes when I ask her if she wants milk she will say don’t want, but opt for other food. At least not so much wastage!! If she made Mommy make milk and refuse to drink, I’ll give her a long lecture and try to coax her to drink it.

Blowing candles
She finally master the art of blowing candles (thanks to mooncake festival hehe). She will request us to sing Happy Birthday when she sees candle being lit. At the same time MUST clap hand (if we don’t she will come and hold our hand and insist *roll eyes*). Once we finish singing she will also clap happily then proceed blowing the candle.

Taking off pants & diaper
She’s able to take her pants off by herself after I thought her. She’s also attempting to peel off the diaper, most of the time only can do one side. Then she will start to walk and shake off the diaper LOL.

Swearing (OMG..she swears!!)
Opps…this is something bad. She learned the word stupid. Our few encounter, while driving, we honk the car that came out from the lane without looking at the traffic on the road. Whenever she hears us honk, she will say stupid. MIL said learn from her *roll eyes*. I’ve told her that you can’t say that, it’s very rude (Told faythe, not MIL). So now all of us gotta drive, honk and stop swearing before she learns more swearing words.

Telling Mommy
I find this pretty fascinating. She can actually show me how things works which I don’t know. MIL bought her a dancing zebra (the one where u press at the bottom and zebra on top will go dancing). I couldn’t figure out what was that at first. Then she showed me the bottom and said “Press”. OOhh…so that’s how it works.

She can also tell me new things that MIL bought for her. MIL bought her a turtle. One day she came to me (at MIL’s house) and told me to-to. At first I couldn’t understand what she’s trying to tell me, later she asked the maid to take the turtle and showed to me. Mommy of course screamed kakaka…She asked me to put the turtle on her hands (daring girl), but Mommy scary cat don’t dare lerr..so the maid put on her hand, she let it crawl a bit then put it back. Errm…after few days, turtle went missing. Not eaten by Faythe, but MIL told me the cat ate it!!

3 more months, she’ll be celebrating her 2nd birthday. I’m pretty sure there won’t be any BIG Party as Mommy is too lazy to cook up one. But I’m getting some ideas on what cake to get for her :).

More of Faythe’s photo can be found HERE

Flashy Morning
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Et Cetera | icon4 10 6th, 2006| icon323 Comments »

This morning as usual,  I walk from parking to office taking the normal route. There weren’t many people walking as opposed to the usual crowd. Probably due to haze. Traffic was pretty clear too.

As I was walking down the mini slope, this motor came (I walk in opposite direction of the traffic). Then this motorist stood up all of a sudden. So I thought hmm..better be careful. I saw him adjusting his clothes and then…his *goreng pisang* just flashed pass in front of my eyes. Sticking out from the zipper!! OMG….that was so so bloody disgusting…yucks yucks…

My heart started pounding, I was a bit worry that he might stop and flash his *goreng pisang* more to me. So I pretended didn’t see and kept walking. He didn’t stop..after he stood up, he just sat on the motorbike and continue riding with his *goreng pisang* sticking out.

Then at one moment, I paused and thought, hmm..if this fella would have stopped, what would my actions be, lemme list it down:

  1. instantly take my backpack and whack him
  2. point at his *goreng pisang* and say, oi..so small lah, pls don’t show lah
  3. lure him to take down his helmet, then i take his helmet and whack him hahaha
  4. scream and run (no lah, this is so not ME, I don’t want ppl to think I’m a nuts)
  5. run to the police station (which is like 50m away) and ask the police to nab him - but I don’t think will have time since he’s riding a bike, I’m walking…

List exhausted..anymore ideas?

This is not my first encounter with flasher. But this the first time in the pass 10 years maybe. Now that I’m married, flasher is not a big issue lah….worse come to worse just laugh at them only or go take a stick and whack the fella..but those days when I was young, it’s really a shocker to see that!! I’ve had various encounter with flashers and this is how they do their work:

  • he drives a car, stop next to the bus stop (where I was waiting for bus), winds down the window and then psst psst..(get some attention). when u look at him he’s mas****ing in his car!! OMG…no better place kah??
  • another case in the car, but this one more professional, cause he’s driving at the same time mas*****ing…I was in the Intrakota bus and they’ve got elevated seats. So as I was looking out of the window I saw this fella…aiiyooo….no wander KL got so many accidents lah, can’t he just concentrate on his driving!!
  • he sits next to you in the minibus. somehow, he manage to open his zipper and slot the *goreng pisang* into a plastic bag!! Then he start shaking the bag non stop…after that he elbows you to get ur attention and make eye contact for you to look down. alamak..if wanna flash, do properly lah..put in plastic bag siapa mau tengok eh…
  • he just walk in front of u, take out all his clothes and laugh…I conclude that this one needs to masuk 1-800-tanjung-rambutan.

What kinda society we have today….what a shame!!
