*Sarawak laksa.

2. my brother is nice. gave up his room for a week.

3. 1 yr ago (or 2 months ago), if u asked me, i'd say cultural village, matang wildlife, etc etc.. are situated 'far-far-away' from kch hav 2 drive 1 hour to get thr 1.
now i noe the diff between all places that are far. after hvg to drive thr myself hehe. (regardless having to tailgate ppl or not)

*caution: open mouth at own risk. *home to prehistoric mankind.

- matang area taking 3rd turning then 1st turning at the roundabouts brings u to cultural village, damai beach resort. *pau killing chicken with sumpit at Penan Hut.

- matang area taking all the turnings to Dewan Undangan Negeri brings u to Astana and Fort Margheritta.

- matang area taking 1st/2nd turning at the roundabout brings u to matang wildlife centre n sampadi.

*this orang utan below, Doris does tricks like rolling over n gets jealous when other orang utans get more attention. when Azam (the male orang utan below) came out we were oooh aaahh-ing over it n 4got all about her. she started sticking her tongue out while making rude noises at us to say 'oi idiots look HERe! i'm way cooler kay. like. totalle.....'

- going down the penrissen road brings u to 7th mile n so on which is the way to Pitcher Plant garden and Semonggok Orang Utan centre. n i tink jong's croc farm is sumwhr thr too.

below: a dessert called White Lady. (has milk, pineapple, longan, mango?, lemon n maybe summore i dunno)

Meta Horn. (i'm not sure myself if its the correct spelling hehe. prob sum hokkien word that morphed to that pronunciation). very refreshing ice thingy w lemon, cincau, the green thingy they put in cendols, nata de coco n summore stuf i dunno.

5. finding out that u shud walk down the souvenir shops opposite Waterfront from the Tua Pek Kong down not the other way round cz the items are cheaper nearer the Tua Pek Kong temple. *spot the tua pek kong temple behind the metal bird replicas. the shops are on the right. a whole street of them.

*sakit hati after buying keychains, 4 for RM10 when it was 2 for RM2 further down. (cz we walked opposite/wrong direction) nola actually too dumb to just KIV 1st cz we tot 4 for Rm10 oredi damn cheap de ma.

*dinner with Pau's uncle at 3 Point Restaurant with tons of seafood! thanks Pau's uncle n Pau for having that uncle. :)

9. girls love shopping n guys love the outdoors (minus the 'dying in the heat sitting in the car backseat cz the front ppl hog the air-con' part) tho the indian boy is constantly seen displacing air-conned areas.

10. u can still cut lanes irresponsibly (in my case unintentionally! :P) in kch n not get cursed by other drivers. ok maybe i din hear them cursing. but they din sound the horn de ma. :S

sight touches

without sight u cant

- make ur own sandwich

- read any book u see at a bookstore

- watch the latest Harry Potter that was out that ev1's screaming out loud about

- see the smile forming on ur friend's lips

- u feel alone when no1 touches u

- understand what it's like to see diff colours. n no1 can explain to u how it is like to see.

- drive out for a lunch date with ur frens.


but. without sight u can

- not see hatred in 1's eyes

- hear the slightest sound 100 metres away. bcz ur ears hav been trained to be sensitive to the slightest shuffle of the feet.

- imagine the world to be how u want it to be.

- u hav a better memory than any 5 normal person can combine. u rmb exactly whr u're put a certain little thing, differentiate the feeling of texture in ur fingers more than any1 else.


i wonder. the imagination of a person born blind must be reli wonderful.

:S

Kuching's Saturday Night's Sunday Market

i dunno y they call it Sunday market. it opens on both saturday n sunday. :P

yeah went thr ard 7.30pm w my mum n sis today.



owh sori no this is from Boulevard shopping mall. kiooooooottt matching little doggy handbag for ur kioooooottttt little doggy. Ew.



these are the perfect results of ingenuity of those sunday market sellers.


1. if u ask me to construct an umbrella stand, ok maybe i'll take 30 mins.

2. then ask me to sambung the wires of the lights u wana hang inside the top of the umbrella, let me take my kemahiran hidup book 1st 2 refer...

3. then if u ask me 2 on the generator, i'll take another 10 mins asking the nearest person 2 help me n teach me 2 do it at the same time which wil take another 15 mins.

4. then ask me to pasang the lights on to the inside top of the huge umbrella, get me a ladder n some string n... owh shoots shud hang the lights 1st b4 putting on the umbrella shade. back to Step 1.

add in a few clumsy crashes n thr u go.



n these are the perfect african ReD apples!


the sellers were kids (lwr sec sch students) helping their parents out at the stall. made me wonder wad i did whn i was their age. seriously respect them 4 the amt of time they spend helping their parents out in the fruit business. salute!


the MUST BUy-bananas. my dad loves them. :D



i turned n saw a bunch of malay ppl buying fruits from a chinese fruit seller. we hardly see that anymore dun we. a dying harmonic culture. hmm..

Dragon fruits.

the typical sugarcane juice squeezing machine. more respect for the uncle thr. for his age, he surely is a hot energetic lass to the aunties frequenting the Sunday market. hehe.


sis: u taking pictures for WAd?? *her y-do-i-hav-a-nutso-for-a-sister expression*


n just whn we tot we were leaving...

HUge commotion at the shophouses beside the market. i was thinking, whoa.. street fight!! :D how cool is that! i mean, gosh nooo so violent......

then


the BOMBA came w sirens wailing n all!!


*wadda h*ll???! - in jyi's intonation*

how happening can a Saturday's Sunday market get?

huge kepo crowd start gathering ard Bomba truck.
ev1 whipped out their Sony Ericsson, Olympus 12.0 MPixel camera, sum started drawing furiously on their shirts to capture the scene. harmony!



sum fire on the top floor so the firemen had to hack the metal grills. whn it din work, they used the fire thingy w sparks (sori i duno wad its called). cool... :D
the firemen are under the shoplot w the chinese writing on the signboard yeaps. trying 2 open the grill. top floor on fire.

i left after that. after figuring it cant get more happening then a fire. hope no 1 was hurt n evting ended okay. hmm shud check out tmr's news n c if my face gets into the pprs. *cough* i mean, 2 c if any1 was hurt or the amt of loss.

so in the end i bought home this cute innocent child along w his teddy bear n a huge piggy in tow.

N suffered during ospe. (my practical paper) was staring at the bone couldn't rmb the labels cz I totally din revise anyting thruout the wkend. :S…… I nearly had panic attack drg my clinical exam.

The dumb instructions (or the dumb me who din understand the instructions) said 'this station is unsupervised' so I sat down n was wondering 'wad in the world is an old man sitting in front of me supervising me?? Nvm la. Ignore him.'

Then I took the whole 4 mins writing down wadever I wanted to ask the fella patient.

*RIINNNGGGGG!!!!!* (meaning time's up move to next station)

Suddenly realised….

"Am I suppose 2 interview u here?? U're the patient ar???"

"Ya u're suppose to interview me"

(sorry I said sh*t in front of the patient)

Goes to next station n met who else but DR. LALA >>>>>>>>>>>>> *TONG TONG TONGGG>>>>>>> (name of doctor changed 2 avoid trouble)

*me hysterical asking the doctor to let me interview the patient again bcz I DUN WANA FAIL MY CLINICAL!!!!!!* -seriously panick attack thr ok.. start 2 cry redi… LOL.

*DR. evil LALA keeps insisting I sit down (while pushing me down back into the chair while I try 2 stand up) n prepare to present my case in the next station padahal I hav NOTHING 2 prepare cz I din interview patient AT ALL….. *swt..

*another Dr. heard the commotion n came over 2 REScue me… PHEWWWWWW finally she said I can interview patient again after ospe is over whn all the statons r done.

human emotions r complex.

they drive u to do the craaaaaaaaazzzzziest things that no tots could ever phantom. except for ur own.

things that hurt but wil heal.

things that you regret but wil make up to.

things that only God knows y u did and later u probably wonder y u did it too.

things that drive ppl up the wall trying understand which aspect of ur nature it was that drove u towards that direction.

i. am trying to understand.

this isn't an emotional post. it is just filled with questions. my questions. which i wonder how long it'll take for me to get an answer. well. questions are better than condemn.

n i thought i could judge.
