Hate for the wrong reason

Class today was laughter!
That was until the Lec utter something stupider than the rest of the non-lectures.
He hates Kuala Lumpure, just because the Malaysian Chinese there speak Mandarin or dialects! He is very proud that the Indonesian Chinese can speak such fluent Javanese language than the origins themselves.

I can find a handful of fist fight facts to dignify the Malaysian Chinese of KL
1) Yap Ah Loy and his fellow Kapitan were hired by Raja Abdullah himself to run the mining in KL, naturally you find lots of Chinese in KL who resided there generation after the other.

2) Bless Malaysia for being a Democratic country for the immigrants from China and India get to retain their own mother tongue even though Tanah Melayu’s other half the population are Malays and Bumiputeras

3)  Indonesia who was ruled by Suharto was one big Dictator who oppose of the Indonesian Chinese to retain their own language! Only the national language or the dialects of Indonesia were allowed to be use in daily conversations. Books in Mandarin were burnt! A strict rule of not allowing the Chinese to use their mother tongue in their own homes was amplify!

4) Not all Malaysian Chinese are fluent in English nor Bahasa Melayu. An applause for them for being able to master Manglish. Which he himself said that there are some locals can’t speak superb Javanese. ( in-your-Face)

5) You don’t go play tourist and say ” I hate this place because the Indonesian Dutch in Holland does not speak Indonesian”!

6) For god sake, you’re in a multicultural country you get all sorts of exposure of languages. Act like a tourist!
Now you know how hard is it for foreigners that come to Indonesia and most locals don’t speak basic English properly.

7) Kuala Lumpur is a big metropolitan, with sections that have more Malays, Indian or Chinese than the other. My guess you walk into Chinatown- Petaling Street “Chee Cheong Kai” or… what the heck you’re doing on Chow Kit road?!!!
There’s Masjid Jamek and Little India! Go there and you’ll experience the same thing.

Banana Chinese or Chinese educated ones are proud to be the citizens of Malaysia.

Man you just dissed the one and only Malaysian Chinese!

 

CITO

CITO have two meanings that i know of :
1) in writing medical receipt if you state CITO on top of the paper it means = URGENTLY
2) CITO stands for CITY OF TOMORROW in Surabaya

Yeah what a name for a mall in Surabaya! That i find it ridiculous.
Like every other mall, it is huge and comprise of 3 shopping floors with rooftop and basement carpark.

The only thing that i will say this mall stands apart from other is

this

it’s not about the big mall with very few people, but look closely… look at the Banner.

There’s a ruling according to the City State of Surabaya, Rule 5, stating that Malls like CITO are Smoke Free Zone!!
A hefty fine of  RP 50 Million or/and 3 month of jail will be sentence.

One of Indonesia’s main economy generator is their export in Tobacco and Cigarettes.
Trying to be health conscious to the many, they did prepare something for their smoking customers-

a box room for Smoking

It’s a small room! As small as the Diaper room provided for mothers to nurse their babies or change their diapers.

Those men puffing in there didn’t look to happy being coop up in a room like that just to fag! They look more frustrated than relieve from smoking.

Nursery Room Thank god for that! because i do find mothers publicly breast feeding their babies or toddlers a tad disturbing! Although it is a norm in this country.

In malls you’ll get those mediocre and big brands store in it… but there was this small brand but mediocre company have their own shop open in this mall. It was definitely funny to see that brand of crackers there looking all so glamorous in that tiny shop.

presenting: the higher class version of a sundry shop in a mall :p

I spotted Tako-balls selling there too! Boy, I was excited… and in the end disappointed!

it was awful an unauthentic, assuming those tako-balls i had in Malaysia are the real ones!
The sauce here caters to the taste-buds of the people here and there was no Unagi! Their octopus was not in read marination, it was pure white! One word- Horrible!
Don’t ever attempt this if you really know what Tako-balls is!!

There was a temporary tattoo spot, where this friend of mine wanted to get something on her sexy back.

His art is really good

which is his d-r-a-w-i-n-g ONLY!!

The skin work of art itself wasn’t even somewhat good. I think CrazyS would have done a better job!
Anyway that girl who got herself inked, she got another one free in the end. Compensation for a bad job done and upsetting a customer.

Verdict:: CITO is just another fancy mall for people to loaf.

New Moon

The first suck- Twilight, and so does the second movie.

I don’t know what teenage raging hormones go all crazzee about when they see Pasty-White Edward Cullen. Man, he badly needs to get some one degree of burn on him.
If the character get to use his original Brit accent, i’ll probably be all over him, yet again he is pallor…

Other than expressionless acting with monotonous voice, the fans must have only imagine themselves take place as Bella in those scenes with Edward. They must have fallen for his rugged looks

Bella aggravates me too, she is as bad as Edward was. Lifeless acting… bahh…
If it weren’t for not reading the book i will not be watching this teen flick fiction at all.

The only highlight of the movie that is worth watching are the Werewolves!

Jacob Black who acted as Bella’s best friend, he and his pack of wolves got to be the yummiest thing ever on screen!
Damn, Taylor Lautner is only 17 years old with a bod like that!!

This Pup is going to some Big Bad Wolf in years to come.

Beer Battered Tilapia with Mango Sauce

This is what happens when a friend give me FREE mangoes and me come upon a recipe for it!

I had some trouble getting some of the ingredients so i altered a wee bit of it.
(Tilapia is known as Ikan Nila in Indonesia and for the chinese Fei Zhou yu “African Fish”)

Taste: Tangy-Sweet Fishy Mango

It was so good that the stray cats came to find where the whiff of the aroma was from and they were rummaging the garbage bin… heehhehe.

Splashing under the rain

I’m sore at my both arms, due to lack of triceps usage.

I bet my hands will be too heavy to be lifted up tomorrow.
Best buoyancy work out with soothing acoustic music playing in the swimming pool. I lack the same capacity than the last in holding my breath underwater.

My friends and i thinks that we should make Wednesday a Water Baby’s Day   Sounds good!!

So AGM and AGD is done. I’m glad! I’ll be slowly disappearing from the scene.
Holding a post helped me a lot.
I learn patience, dealing with difficult people, think objectively not subjectively, putting others first at times.
Will i want to do it again? Maybe, but i got other pressing matters to attend now.

Reading for signs

Do you ever do that?

I for one, will not do so. Putting bits of rational reasoning to make a decision, yes, i’ve done that. But to read for signs from the sky or a situation i’ve not, until recently.

Next year, very soon next year i’ll be spending most of my time in the teaching hospital. I was offered a quaint house to rent and i really like it. The pricing of the house is cheap since the whole house is refurnish, all i have to do is check my self with my luggage in. There was only one prob… i can’t bring the whole crew with me.
Finally after weeks of consideration, for the first time, i appreciated the final decision made by my parents when i told them about the place. It was a NO if i were to move in alone.
A few days ago, i got to know that, that place is easily flooded when monsoon comes.

Loud and clear was the answer to me now.

Being Realistic

Jea: CYF has been relentlessly mentioning on the big R word.
Deprive: …. uhhh… Do i have to get a loan now?

Lilac

I’ve forgotten i bought a cute lilac dress
but i’m afraid i got not enough mass to fill in )”
