Malaysians are so concern meh?

highway - accident - jam. 

it is the norm in Malaysia. don't get confused, I am not talking major accident. I'm talking emergency lane, car behind hit car in-front kind of accident.

IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. 

well, this is the Federal Highway in Shah Alam i think. but i'm not talking this side of the road, I'm talking the opposite side. this road here leads to Icity, Klang etc, may have 3 lanes, the other side, leads to Kuala Lumpur, well, has 4 lanes, including the ONE emergency lane. 

see, minor accidents almost always happened in the emergency lane. or, maybe because it is so minor that the wrecked car can be moved to the sides. 


AND YET!

some of this minor accidents, are the cause for some MAJOR traffic congestion on the other friggin four lanes.

Funny isn't it? how a small accident on the emergency lane can cause the other four lanes to stop moving as well?

well, NOT to Malaysians. Malaysians are very, I repeat, VERY concern about people whenever there's accidents. they love to stop or slow down their cars to check out whatever that is going on, on the road. they are so concern that they would even cause the whole road to be congested with cars to some few miles behind, not knowing what is going on upfront, or why the traffic is so bad. 


Like this one picture i simply steal from someone's else's blog. it's completely understandable that the congestion is bad due to the fact that the police directed the whole three lanes to merge into only one, this one is utterly acceptable. (well, this accident is too bad to even compare) 

but can you see that on the other side of the road, people are queuing to see what's going on, on THIS side of the road as well? 

i thank the concern Malaysians. 

but really. this has really got to stop. yeah you're concern and all, but admit it, you won't stop and help anyway, so why don't you excuse your big fat bum, and move on with your life. 
DO NOT SLOW DOWN, alright? yeah i understand your sympathy but it's causing trouble to everybody else who doesn't give a damn to slow other cars down to butt in others' businesses.

please. think about other people as well, you wanna be a nosy person, with all due respect please do so, but do help yourself and others by keeping your nosiness to yourself. by that, i mean do not slow down your car to see if the car is wrecked, or the mirrors broke a thousand pieces, or somebody died or not, because this act of yours is causing trouble to other people.

and maybe not today, but some other days when you really need to hurry and other people are slowing down their cars to see an accident on the other side of the road, you would probably understand the irk that some people faced.

not so gelak-gelak everyday.

toilet manners

toilet.

we all know what you do in there. no need to speak about your business once you are done, and you are not bound to speak of it to anyone even when they ask.

if there's such thing as personal space, well, this one will be a great example that falls automatically under the category PERSONAL

anyway, enough about that.

what i want to say about today would be manners we all carry with : before, during and after the toilet business.

well, i am no preacher. neither am i a janitor.

 i am just another toilet user sick of some gravely ignorant toilet users who love to see us; other mentally stable toilet users suffer by letting us see their disturbing droppings all over the toilet. 
the seat especially, the floor, the walls, the faucet, the toilet paper holder YOU NAME IT.

at the sight of these severely unpleasant scenes, my brain can't help to pop out a simple thought. 

a simple three letters of WHY

funny isn't it, in a small country like Malaysia, here we would've thought the people are generally very traditionally accustomed and polite, soft-spoken, modest, gentle and full of grace. yet somehow i think all that was only once upon a time kind of story.
our women used to be all that marvel. now to have one would be like a fairy tale. ironic how time has changed us all. 

cultural differences have brought some terrible changes. chances are they are probably:

not ashamed that any of the by-products that come out of their body is looked upon by some strangers? 

so ill-mannered that they can't clean up after themselves or they simply need some unfortunate others to do that for them? 

not disgusted when they see a disturbing toilet scenes at the time they are desperate to use the toilet?

lemme list down some of the famous *things* people don't mind letting others see.

  • used pads with unbearably thick blood stain
  • used panty-liners with thick discharge stain
  • un-flushed dungs in the toilet bowl
  • used tissues lying around
  • menstrual blood/ yellowish fluid on the toilet seat
disgusting eh? so here's a terribly direct advice to those reading, let's keep our wastes to ourselves. if you don't want to see other people's droppings, don't drop yours for others to see.

be a mentally healthy person, not some ill-mannered person. 

Leave the toilet just as YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIND IT

gelak-gelak everyday.

Air Buah or Air Gula

Malaysian's favorite.

Sugar.

it has come to my attention that the sugar I used in Japan was a lot less sweeter than the ones here in Malaysia.
and my cousin who went back from German said Malaysia's sugar sweetness level is a lot higher.

so what now.
is there any way sugar can get sweeter? or the sweetness level differs geographically?

But the thing I really can't fathom is how watermelon juice and apple juice can actually taste the same. what??????

I drink to a point I can't possibly drink anymore. the sweetness choking on my throat. then like, i suddenly felt so thirsty i can't handle anymore of this sweet sensation.

Oh please
I came to quench my thirst. And what's happening to me?

Malaysia. Where all the fruit juices and teh 'o's taste of gula.

That is why Malaysia, proudly saying, is the number one country with the highest number of diabetics among ASEAN countries.

And I don't know why Malaysians love sugar so much. 

Normal daily situation:

Go out for a drive and saw a guava stall by the road.
"Eh, got guava lah. So hot now, some guava juice would be nice man."
So, stopped by the stall and told the stall owner. 
"Boss, ini air berapa satu?" And thus the owner will reply:
"Rm2.00 la" and so thinking a cup of guava juice would be worth rm2.00 per cup, you fork out two rm1 notes and handed it out. 

The owner then takes an empty cup, *here's the important part so take note*
Takes the bowl of liquid sugar and put in 2-3 small cups of that sugar into your cup. Then, the owner goes taking the guava juice into your sugar-filled cup. 
And handed your oh-so-nice guava juice to you, and you went about, happy for your sugar drink.

That 2-3 liquid sugar might constitute like 2-3% of your drink, but lets think, if you have 100ml of drink then your sugar content would've been 20-30ml of that water. 
That is if the sugar cup takes only 10ml per scoop.

we Malaysians need a better and healthier lifestyles. we need to cut down sugar intake, to have better health.

lol. don't i sound like a national tv commercial.
but hey, some national tv commercials are only meant for viewing purposes. nobody really takes them seriously, don't they?
