Love dog

This post is dedicated to my dog, Pammy.



She's a really lovely and loving dog. See that heart-shaped black patch on her body? :-)

Talk about stating the obvious

Here's a funny sign that me and my good friends discovered while hiking at Bukit Gasing.



I bring your attention to this sentence:
"Walau bagaimanapun, tumbuh-tumbuhan lebih senang dijumpai dari haiwan".

Translation: However, plants are easier to be found than animals.

Like... duhhh!

I shudder to think what kind of forest would have animals that are more easy to spot than trees and plants! Maybe they had 'concrete jungle' in mind, whereby there is definitely more city-dwelling animals called homo sapiens compared to plants.

Scary shopkeeper

Would you walk into a shop to buy stuffs if it had a shopkeeeper such as this:



Well, with us cutting down more forests in the name of development, I guess food is becoming scarce in the forest. Even orangutans need to come out of the jungle and be budding entrepreneurs in order to survive.

Jokes aside, this thing really freaked me out for one second while I was strolling along some festival in Kuala Terengganu. Poor Spongebob, however, is permanently terrified! Look at the look on his face!

Government health advice

Yo peeps! (What is a 'peep' anyway? Is it as in, Peeping Toms? What if your name is not Tom?). It's been awhile, have been busy recently and started a new job about 1 week ago.

How are you guys doing? Feeling unhealthy recently? Gaining weight, on the path to obesity? Well if that's the case, you better use the elevator. Don't try to use the stairs as a form of exercise. Why, you ask? Because that's what our government advises:



So, use the stairs only if you're STILL healthy!

No wonder all those overweight makciks never use the stairs, even if it's just to go down one floor. Just heeding the government's advice, wo kan.

Favourite wokanwokan youtube vids - Hiromi Uehara "XYZ"

This is my first post in a new series called "Favourite wokanwokan youtube vids".

One of my hobby is music. If you're a musician, please watch this video. It's probably not for everyone, but if this doesn't blow your mind, I'm not sure what will. I have seen this Hiromi girl in Singapore before at the Esplanades. I can't describe to you the sheer awesomeness of Hiromi. See for yourself:



Speechless. But since this is a blog and you can't hear me talking anyway,... Typeless.

I don't mean to be mean, but...

Hi folks. Today I'm gonna talk about something that irks me quite a lot. I'm sure in your daily life, you would have had a conversation with somebody that goes like this:

"xxxxxxx, aaaaaaaa, that's mean yyyyyy, zzzzzz, etc etc..."

I'm emphasizing the "thats mean" part. Usually these term is used by people whom English is not their first language. Now, I don't mean to be mean. My English isn't perfect either. So, I mean no offense, please view this as an educational post.

Folks, the correct way of saying it is "That means xxx". Not "That's mean".

"That's mean" means that you're saying something is mean. For example, you saw some dangerous police man harassing some poor folk who was minding his business finding his way to Terminal Putra. So then you'll say "That's mean!!!", in the same way you would say "That's bad!" or "That sucks!" (please don't say "That's suck!", that's realllly wrongggg).You got what I mean?

What irks me even more is when someone says "That's mean that xxx". That's like a combo of bad English. That's owning.... monster kill... godlike! (Sorry, I miss DOTA).

So there you have it. Let's make the world a better place by using our languages properly, and not by mutilating languages and creating some absurd terms like "Wo kan wo kan". Oops...

Watch out! Dangerous police lurking around!

Caught this rather curious sight near Terminal Putra, on my way to catch my bus to Kuala Terengganu.

Watch out! Where could the 'polis bahaya' be hiding? Must be somewhere in the bushes! Or did he squeezed into that metal box? Where is he? Wo bu kan tao, wo bu kan tao!
