the fun-sized blog post

today/whenever:

  • people at my apartment block are inconsiderate - no one bothers to hold the lift while others are still getting into it. this happened twice today. stupid no manners lemon eater!

  • air con was at full blast at the office today, i sense a cold coming. ach-i-tiuuuuuuu.

  • there is no coffee, or the means to make coffee in the office yet, so, i don't mind dozing off in front of everyone.

  • what's the boring part of learning a new programming language? reading about it. reading a book on how to learn a new language is just so dull, as opposed to reading say, programming perl or perl cookbook (a language that i've already known

  • everyone's been asking when i'm going to balik kampung for chinese new year. i should have said my kampung's in selayang. but instead i went on a tirade of i'm not chinese yada yada yada neither am i mixed yada yada yada i'm iban goddammit yada yada - which leads to a barrage of questions like: what is your race? what do you celebrate? how often do you go back to kuching? can you swim there? gahhhhh!*

  • so i had my second bak kut teh meal this weak. oh my am i full.



* i'm not trying to be racist here, but 5 years in the peninsular and i've noticed that most west malaysians have no or little exposure to The Others - they seem to unconsciously think that you belong to one of The Holy Trinity (malay, chinese, indian - is this order politically correct?).

listening to: frou frou - it's good to be in love

Hehe, I would be one of those unexposed people to the outside world of West Malaysia and its 'Holy Trinity'. Once again I apologize, and hope you have a good holiday :-) take care

lemon eaters?

lift etiquette here is marvellous. men open the wooden lift doors (it's an old building) and squish to the side for the women to pass first.
