Chat with Morons

Few days back I chatted briefly for the first time with this particular moron. This was how part of the chat went:

Moron : Dah kahwin?

Me : Blom? U?

Moron : Blom gak

Moron : Umur brapa?

Me : 45

Moron : Itu bukan blom kawen, itu dah terlajak

What makes me called him a moron is because you don't say such thing to a person you chat for the first time. The reason why I say 'blom' is though I have no intention at all in getting married, but who knows one day for some reason I just might.

Few years back I chatted also with another moron. This was how part of the chat went:

Me : Tinggi brapa?

Moron : 5' 8", u plak?

Me : 5' 5"

Moron : Ohh, you kat bahu I jer.

Me : Oh ok, so kepala u 3 inci tinggi jer ler

Moron : (senyap)

Bali

From Monday to Thursday BB and I took a trip to Bali, Indonesia. It was mine and BB's 1st trip to Bali and Indonesia. The trip was a really good and a deserving one for the both of us. Some people especially the Whites go there for the beach. We went mainly for the places in Bali and the experience. We went to several places and they were beautiful. I have now more respect for the Indonesians. Perhaps from looking at the Indon workers here, the news, documentaries etc and of course my own ignorance my perception of the Indonesians was more negative than positive. Denpasar was not what I had imagined before. I thought it was slightly backwards but it was not at all. The city is big with many shops, beautiful houses and a lot more modern, hip and happening than some cities here in Malaysia like Kuala Terengganu or Kota Bahru (Sorry NK hehehe). The people especially the men are smoking hot. Anyways we know that Indonesians are artistically more advance and better than Malaysians. In fine arts, craftsmanship, music, films, interior and exterior design, fashion they rise above us. In corruption and in crime hmmm I'm not sure.

Surat Khabar Lama

A few minutes ago I sold a short stack of old newspaper to a surat khabar lama man. There are a few surat khabar lama men in my area. Though the voice yelling 'paper lama and old newspaper' through the speaker sounds like a Chinese the surat khabar lama man can actually be an Indian. Today's paper lama man told me that the stack I'm selling would fetch RM5 a few weeks back, but today it costs only RM3. He told me that its the effect of the global economic crises, of course. According to him orders for old papers by box manufacturing companies are declining because many other companies are closing down or are also facing diminishing orders. What surprised me a bit was that the prices of iron and steel have also gone down. What use to be like RM5 per kilo (I think) has gone down to only 30 sen. He then went on to say that USA is to be blamed. The Americans have set up a plan to ensure that the Beijing Olympics is a failure as they know that China is economically getting strong, and so is India. Thus USA has made efforts to bring down China's economy including other Asian countries. Nevertheless, their plans backfired and now they are in a financial slump. Though this man deals with old newspapers he knows that it is pertinent for him to know to state of the world's economy because it will affect his. I'm impressed.

Vacation

Next week I'll be going on a trip with BB to an island people say is like heaven...well may be more of a paradise (anyways what's the difference). Thank you Air Asia and the Internet for making booking for holidays easy. Been wanting to go there a long time ever since I started working and that would be 20 years. Hope it would be a fabulous trip

Post

My menstrual cycle is back after 4 years. I've been given back my post which I left 4 years ago. Thus, I'll be grumpy again, that's how one of my colleagues describes me. Nevertheless, I'll try not to be grumpy but will just fake my smile even when dealing with cognitively and emotionally challenged young adults. The thing that will probably help me fake my smile is that now I will be paid.

Today

Today for the first time I went to Pavillion. Two of my best friends invited me to have lunch there since they know that I have never set foot in Pavillion. I am the type who would wait a little longer, or sometimes much longer, to set foot in new places like new departmental stores or new restaurants. Basically I do not like crowd and mostly the kiasu types, especially those with certain profiles (Yes, I admit I'm a racist sometimes). Another reason is that I do not like to drive to KL what more to places such as Bukit Bintang which is extremely crowded. The place is of course huge since it is built over a few landmarks that I would pass by on my way to school back in the 70s, like the BBGS, the old Eden, the swimming pool and probably St. Mary's too. There a lot of places to eat and a lot of dishes to try. We went to Tony Roma or Romas and had the ribs. It was delicious. These two friends of mine are the kind that you would dearly miss if they are not around and would also miss you when you're gone.

I've read in other people's blogs not too long ago that the line at the JCo Donut shop would be long the moment the place is opened. Just now at 12.30 I saw no line at all at the shop. Probably the hype over the donuts is very slowly diminishing. For me personally, I could not take the donuts from either Big Apple or JCo anymore. My 'tekak' becomes 'loya' when I think of the donuts. They are just too sweet especially those from JCo. Anyway I'm more of a 'cok keria' person than a donut person.

Back to not eager to go to newly opened places, I have not set foot in Berjaya Time Square and have never been up the KL Tower. My friends told me that I have not missed anything by not going to Time Square. I think so too.

On an unrelated note, yesterday I bought this machine people use to wash cars that shoots the water really fast. I know there's a name for such device but I'm too lazy to think. I bought it mainly not to wash my cars but to wash off the mold or mildew in my drain and on other things in front of moi house. I like to have things that make my life easy and I do not like to borrow them. That's why I have more than 1 car since I do not like to borrow anyone's car when one of my cars go for its scheduled service. Hardware store is a heaven for me. I wish I had all the machines or gadgets in the hardware store even though I might not know how to use them.
