Why So Long Never Post?

Hey guys, post some thingslah, the blog tak panas alreadylah. It seems as if only Alvin, Simon and I are posting. I haven't been posting too much too. Anyway, post somethinglah, a little bit goes a long way. I haven't heard any news from the Kuching people? Did I bring the coolness away from Kuching when I left? Heheehehe. Anyway, please bloglah you guys. Got nothing to talk about meh?

On to my post, anyway, I haven't check with anyone but I guess the trip is pretty much offlah. No one is committed. I don't blame you guys toolah. It was alot to ask form all of you. Instead, due to a logistical problem that all of us have leaving on two separate islands, I've decided to organise a trip for only the Semenanjung people. Hehehe, so stay tunedlah Semenanjung people. Don't worry, the government will give cabinet posts to the Sarawak MPs. Semenanjung people get trips. K, settle.

On another matter, I was sick on my birthday this year. Yea, so sad. I went out in the hot sun on the day be4 helping my dad run a few chores in KL Sentral/ Brickfields area and got sick becaused I was exposed too much to the sun. I get heat stroke real easy. Anyway, at least I celebrated my birthday a day earlier. I went to the Hart's Chicken in Berjaya Times Square after I saw my dad off in the bus to the LCCT. I went to KL. Ate Hart's Chicken, and walked around Bukit Bintang. I even got a chance to look at the latest iPods when I stopped by Low Yat's Apple Reseller. I guess Low Yat is really goodlah because they got the iPods first. They did it in just 2 days after Steve Job's launched them. I also went to Lot 10 and Sunway Pyramid that day just to lepak. Anyway, when I came back I went to sleep and in the morning I fell sick.

I was pretty sick because the fluid in between my ears were imbalanced or something causing me to fell really dizzy and disoriented. I really didn't want to do anything becuase I was sick. So I stayed in bed on Saturday and Sunday. I also didn't reply the birthday messages that were sent to me untill Sunday. Sorry, I really didn't want to reply so late but I was so sick that I was just turned off by the work. Anyway, I want to take this oppurtunity to thank the following people for their birthday wishes. Not in any order. THANK YOU IAN, ALDRIN, ALVIN, AARON, KOH SZE HOWE, SAMANTHA SI and SHAMIR. YOUR BIRHTDAY WIHSES MADE MY DAY. I NEEDED THEM A LOT THIS YEAR COS I WAS SICK SO, THANK YOU!

Anyway, my birthday also saw the arrival of my new roommate. To all of you who do not know, I have been living in My Place Apartments at Taylor's University College for the past 5 weeks and I was living on my own in a twin sharing room for the first month. I was really happy. Living alone but now, I have a roommate. He is from China. He is unable to pseak English very well so it is hard for us to communicate sometimes. He is in Taylor's to do an English course untill next April( if his classes goes smoothly) and will be joining the ICPU program after that. I'm not to happy about having him as my roommate to be frank. I don't have a problem with him personally but I just don't like living and sleeping in the same room as someone. Yes Alvin, this applies even to my future wife. I like my space and I would like to have my own room. Hehehe, I'm a rich, spoilt kid aren't I?

Anyway, I have found a way to get my own room and if my plan goes as well as I hope it would. I will be cutting down my rental by half next month. Anyway, I don't have a lot of problem with my roomate or him as a person but here are what I have to say about him, my house mates and living under Taylor's. Hehehee, I bet all of you were waiting for me to spill the beans rite? You want the juicy stuff don't you? Anyway, in order to do this I need your cooperation. Please don't reveal my name at all, I'm the Simple Guy. That's all.

Anyway, let's start with the guy from China. First of all, I think he's kind of annoying because he keeps following me around and my roommates around. I know he came from half way aorund the world to Malaysia to study but plreaselah, it's just really annoying having this big adult following you around all the time. What I mean is, when I come home and go into my room, he will follow. Then, when I go out to the living room, he will follow. Ad when I go an study in my room, he will follow me and study in the room and then stare at me. Walau wei! He's like a little kid who follows people aroun and is so annoying that I could just lose it. Besides that, he doesn't shower much and has worn the same shirt for the past 10 days. Yes, this is true. Deep down inside, I don't hate him but my frustration is largely generated by my own inability to live with other people withing closed doors. I need my spacce and privacy. I can't imagine waking up every morniong and having a person next to you in bed or in the bed next to you. The thought of having to do thid for the rest of my life scares me. Oh yea, he says 'nigga' alot when speaking to his China friends on the phone. Really, it's sonuds like that exactly. Russel Peters was ritght. Final words: I am not too impressed by the peasant lifestyle of the rich in Mainland China.

Anyway, on to my housemates. Let's start with OKZ. OKZ is a really screwed up guy. That's all I can say. His potty manners are better than that of a dog but just by a bit. Anyway, you get wht I mean so I won't dive further into that. I'm already in deep shit. Anyway, he cooks rubbish and he doesn't clean up after himself. THe kitchen smeels like onions after he cooks and the sink is always filled with rubbish whenever after he eats. He doesn't do the dishes. He throws the sachets that come with instant noodles on to the floor everytime the rubbish bin is full. He let's the cleaner clean up after him once a week and I actually think that he believes that he is smart for doing so. Heheheh. Damn. He doesn't bathe much too. He doesn't bathe before he goes to class but do not worry because he is a 'MAN' and can handle anything. Dirt, germs and filth are only a part of being a 'MAN' rite? This guy also talks as well as he uses the toilet. He always says things like "Ma Cibai" or is it "My Cibai" and "FU**" which makes me wonder if he has ever taken an English class. He watches the TV everyday and plays with Jun Yi's PSP everyday. He's rich, has a car and very 'cetek'. Anyway, this guy is like the typical rich guy with the kampung man's attitude. He lives in the single room. Lucky guy. He goes drinking every Friday and Saturday nite and doesn't bother waking up on Saturday and Sunday. Everytime people study, he will try to oppose their study routine or look at them as if they are weird or wrong. Final words: I am so lucky to have this big strong macho 'MAN' live with me.

Next, we have JC, the Joe. Yes, he is my housemate form St. Joe. Man, this guy is so damn popular. He has so many friends who are all so popular. He is a nice guy but I think there is a something behind him. I won't talk much but all I can say and very rudely too( sorry guys, I'm just going with the flow) is that he has thought me about what certain Christian people want to do. Anyway, I won't go into details but it scares me that some of my friends might be in on this. It is very conspirous and I am detaching myself further from religion. More that ever I feel. I am starting to gain confidence in my stand not to practice religion. Final words: Next time, if I ever become as popular as you I would at least not lie to people who aren't my friends.

Next, we have JY, super genius. This guy is always on the PSP and is so damn smartlah. He doesn't need to study but can score super high marks minimal or no effort. Man, he reminds me that I am even uselesslah. One thing that the Law Of Ueki has thought me is that we all have talents. It's whether or not our talents are useful in real life and whether we can find ways to use them. For JY, his talent is that he can just pick up know;edge from anywhere and use it instantaneously. As for me, I have no talent which I have discovered which means that my talent is no good in the real world or the worl of humans as I haven't found a part of human life to use it in. Anyway, damn, I need to make some serious trade offs.

The roommates in general, dirty, digusting and 'manly'. I want to live with a girl or by myself when I grow up. Anyway, what else. Taylor's management really suck. They only think about money and they can just come into your room anytime they want and move your things around as they like. They are like communists where the government can do anything as they please anytime they want regardless of your presence as a human being to stop them. Then, there's the resident leader. He looks so 'Kiasu' that sometimes I wonder why he is in such condition? Is he afraid that someone will come and snatch his job away? I honestly think that Taylor's put him there and it was not a democratics vote which decided his election as our leader. He seems so competitive that nothing can be achieved and I think that he actually believes that he is smart and logical because he uses his experience to judge people to help him. My God, his experiences has mad him blind and he cannot see past what he want's to see or tells himself to see. Damn, this type of guy just wants to get some part of his resume to mention that he was a "leader" and that he 'actively participated in matters pertaining to the living conditions of Taylors'. Damn, this type of people. Final words: Taylor's is a greedy cooperation with evil and profit hungry management.

Man, I think thats alllah for now. I've talked enough trash for today. Sorry if it was abit extreme,. I'm ranting. Oh yea, to end things on a lighter note, the other day, I tried downloading Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 1 in Taylors using utorrent. The utorrent ETA status displayed an infinity symbol which means that even after I die, I have to wait for somemore time just to watch Gossip Girl. HUh!? Taylor's internet access really bad.

Update On the KL Trip 2008 (25th July)

Okay, after getting feedback from "The Don", here is what I have to say:



1) The Malaysian Youth Hostel Association is near Petaling Street as I was told by sunRAY. For more details you can just Google or Yahoo it or ask sunRAY. Basically, it's a hostel with bunk beds and air-conditioning. sunRAY told me that they charge by individuals (per head type of fee). We (sunRAY and I) aren't sure how much it costs to stay there for one night to be honest with you and we have not contacted the Hostel because we were waiting to see how well this plan would go down first. If you guys are absolutely sure that you want to go then we will check. I don't know if this helps but sunRAY's rough estimates is that every person would have to spend about RM 20 per night to stay there. This includes breakfast (no other meals). Oh yea, I remember sunRAY telling me that they fit 4, 6 or 8 people into one room depending on how much people are in the same group. I am not sure whether we will be in separate rooms but if 4, 6 or 8 of us go, then we can get the same roomlah. Err... if you want to know more about this place, ask sunRAY. He stayed there after the 2006 KL Pesta. So he can give you a first hand account of itlah.



2) I totally agree with what Spartacus said about the Kuching people meeting the Semenanjung people and then coming back together. Before we can make any plans, I need everyone to send me some information about your travel plans (for Semenanjung people coming back to Kuching) and the academic calender for your current semester (everyone e.g. when classes end, when tests end,etc.). Please also tell me if you are participating in some other activities this December (e.g. camp, working, travelling with your OTHER friends :(, etc.) It is very important. Just post it in the comments section of this blog or sms/e-mail to either sunRAY or me. I will give a date onece I get all the info from Semenanjung dudes.



3) We estimated that our flight cost would take RM400. Actually, those rates were as of the date of the first post about the KL trip. At those rates you'd have to pay RM110.00 for a one way flight(we counted the most expensive flight charge available on that date), RM 45.00 for the administration fee, and RM18.00 (if i'm not mistaken) for the fuel surcharge. If you brought along I bag you'd also have to pay an additional RM3.00. In total, we obtained the figure RM 360+ (or was it RM 370+) for a round trip. I expect these rates to go up drastically. Drink and sunRAY have told me to watch for Air Asia's sale. But truthfully, the flight fees can change drastically. It can become as cheap as RM300 or as expensive as RM600. This needs constant monitoring. So what I recommend is that the range for the flight expenses be set at RM 400- RM 500 to be realistic. Just be prepared to fork out this ammount of moneylah if you want to go.



4) To be honest with you, I think that rite now, only Drink, Spartacus, sunRAY and I know about this trip. I will tell thomIAN tommorrow. Someone please tell Bun and KNee. PokeDex too. Personally, I think we will proceed with this plan once we have 5 people who agree to commit. If there are only 4 people then, we will have a discussion. If there are less than 4 people, then it's off. Deadline I set for confirmation is 1st September 2008. This is the ultimate final date. No further extentions. If you disagree with this date them please let me know. I set it to be exactly 3 months before 1st December 2008.

5) Reminder: Everyone, please ah, I want to be anonymous (just call me simple guy). And sorry ah if I modified your names in this post.

6) I have already posted the draft. Ah, you guys ah, keep bully me in you post ah. Wait, sabar.........!!!!!!! Err...Spartacus, actually, our outings on Fridays have been a dissappointment after you guys left. Only 3 ppl at most.

K. That's all.
