Do yourself a favour.
I'm feeling the least bit patriotic now. I am actually counting down the days I go away from here.
"Eh, then no nasi lemak how?"
Make do with what you have, I suppose. There was a time when I was 16, I headed off for my brother's graduation and said "I want to go back home". Not like there was anything wrong with where I was. It was perfect!
No such things as double parking, littering, and other negative things you see in the TV. They even give way for pedestrians to cross!
Try doing that here, and the chances of you being rammed by a Mat Rempit is very high.
We emphasise on "budi bahasa" or manners on all citizens so much we have a campaign for it! But honestly, how many of us are actually courteous in all that we do? You still see people hogging up the seats on the bus/commuter trains when there are other people who really need those seats don't get to sit on them just because some person thinks their bags are people who deserve those seats!
Back in 2003, in the USA, the people are so friendly and so courteous. EVERYWHERE okay! Even the people in the toilet would smile at you and ask "Hi, how are you? Can I help you with anything?". I'm not making this up. I went to the McDonalds' in California (can't remember which part) and this lady came up to me in the toilet and smiled and asked me if I needed help.
Some people here would criticise you for being able to mix with other races. I have had the experience to the point my religious were called in for questioning. It's a multiracial country, for goodness sake! So is it wrong for me to talk to people who are of different races? Since when was that a crime!
I wasn't keen on going for my brother's graduation. I was going to miss my exams AND I didn't like the place (or so I thought). But that trip changed it all.
But the only thing that I missed when I was away was food. They can try to make nasi lemak or tomyam but it cannot compare to what I have here.
I want things to change here. I don't want people to say we "bocor" every month (at least it's supposed to happen, unlike the leaks in buildings). I don't want any more name-callings. I don't want corruption to reign supreme.
What I want is for people to grow up, break out from the shells they've been hiding in and do something.
Haha.
*grumbles*
You should have gone for that toe surgery instead of postponing it. Now you have a torn muscle AND a broken toe.
Sigh...life's like that.
Oh Jonny Wilkinson...
He looks so much like Arjen, only difference is that he's a bit bigger.
I'm waiting for the new WC soon. Whee!
Didn't I tell you I love rugby too?

He looks so much like Arjen, only difference is that he's a bit bigger.
I'm waiting for the new WC soon. Whee!

twin ah!
you know i actually have a sorta fear towards the united states. perhaps im just this ignorant little bug, unaware about things around me lah.
but it sounds like a wonderful place lah after reading this post.

@ Aimee - I used to be like that. I was afraid of going there because I thought everyone was like what you see on the TV (you know, unpleasant and all). Turns out, they're friendly. Even the garbage man would say 'hello' to you and ask how was your day!
I want to go there again...sigh.
