Penangites (especially Penang guys)

Hurrah!!!!!! This entry is my 50th in this blog. Okay shall we start crapping of something nice?

For those who don't know, I am a Penangite. I lived and bred in Penang, one of the Pearl of Oriental. I don't know whether she is a pearl, but she is the food heaven for me and most people from Malaysia. Although some people outside Malaysia denied that, I dared them to go eat and compare our foods with theirs. Penang is a State; yes it is. We have our own Penang flag and her state songs.

People that I came across often have the same reactions when I tell them I from Penang.

"Ahhhh"
"I kinda figured it out"
or even "You have the same attitude as etc etc."
and etc etc.

What make us so different from other Malaysian? Okay I am going to list again!

We extremely loved our state. She is the most beautiful place ever, despite Sungai Pinang....

We not only loved our state desperately, we missed and loved our Penang foods. How can you find a good and cheap wan tan mee for only RM3 (AUD1)? Why do we need to go to restaurant and have a Rm15 wan tan mee, when I can sit at the road side and have RM3 wan tan mee, that is even more delicious! In food we are all Penang-sided, what my housemates like to call it. No other place have the better food than Penang. Char Kuey Teow and Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee for other people) is always the prime product of Penang? Penang is excellent in all kind of Hokkien and Chinese foods!

This make some of us cheapskate. WHY? Well we can get so cheap and good foods, why don't we follow the trend? People will start complaining when the food price rocketed high up to Rm3... Hawkers who sell their foods at Rm4 and above, they better be bloody damn good, else they are doom to earn nothing! Don't get me wrong. Some place, they sell the foods at Rm15 and people are queing up for that road side stall. Why? I have no idea. I never been there before, too far and expensive....

We also take our food very seriously. Food is the prime topic we talked about, when we are outside. Where to find the best place for Char Kuey Teow, and at the same time, it is not too far. Penang is so small, as compared to other state, still we do not like travelling. We don't see the point of going to some places, that need to take about 1hr drive....

Okay then they say we have the same attitudes. Being the small state, Penangites are more friendly, happy-go-lucky, and etc etc (I hope). We are closer to each other, because Penang is a small island. We are definitely not as Materialistic as other people (mostly from the capital). Sorry KL people, not that I condemn you people or anything. You people should know it yourselves! One of my distance relatives, actually throw her mother to an old folks home, and never talk to her even until she passed away... That poor distance-granny of mine suffered for about 1 year, and the people who visited her are us, the distance grandsons and granddaugthers from Penang... Her own grandkids don't even care about her... How sad? I condemn those people.

Once you got us into talking about Penang and her foods, we wont able to stop. We will continue until the next day and we can still miss it, even we just came back from Penang.

Some people said we have similar styles as well. They said most of us are Ah Beng and Ah Lian. (some kind of cheapskate style or something). Well, Penang was swarm with those people ages ago. But the time before I left Penang, it is getting better. And not all of us are Ah Beng and Ah Lian.... I missed Gurney Plaza and now the latest mall just open in Penang is Queensbay Mall. I did not get the chance to go there.... Huhuhu.....

Another thing is that we have our own Penang dialect! Penang Hokkien. No other Malaysian could speak like us in Penang, not even Taiwanese. We are definitely proud of our own dialect, and this dialect make us closer to each other.

Lastly, Penang will always be in every Penangites mind and thought. Everyone of us will dream, think and talk about Penang all the time. No matter where are we, and when is that. Not everyone like to go away from Penang, and to those who did, they will find someplace similar to Penang!

PS - I rewrite this blog. Because some error in publishing, and it deleted my first entry.

PSS - the beautiful picture of Penang is from Jason Lim (a proud penangite!)

Blokes like, Missus hate

Now is so damn hot. It is suppose to be autumn, but the temperature today was 34 degrees scorching hot. I feel like dying and suddenly I thought of writing an entry on something so common that it occurs to everyone.

I was talking with South 8 house people, when Sharon suddenly popped a Question to me. Something I reckon most gal will want to know. Will leave the question aside. Today my entry is about what habits that guys mostly do, that tick the gals off...

Back to Sharon's question. She asked me whether I like to drink my softdrinks/juices/bottled beverages directly from the bottle. Then I realised almost every guy do this! I drink my juice out of the juice bottle when I am lazy to get a cup and all the hassles in washing it. Ben ben drinks his juice out of his juice carton every dinner. Kelvin was tempted to eat his ice-cream out of his Bulla ice-cream carton. Hendrix, and Nicholas drink their juices/softdrink out of their bottles. The answer is: We guys are just too lazy to go all the way to the basin to wash our cups and then need another energy to wash the used cup. Just drink out of the bottle/carton make life easier. Somemore we guys don't have time to wash our cups. We need heaps of time to do other useful stuffs, than washing cups...

Next habit:

We guys like to take off our shirts, when the weather is hot. What is so wrong with taking off our shirts? Not that we are going to walk around the house with only undies... We still have our pants on! It is so damn hot, and we are not wearing bra, so why can't we take off our shirts? Then then, we like to wrap ourselves with only towel (below waist) after shower. Or maybe it is me only... Well, it is better to change in the room, than in bathroom. One - bathroom is wet and we might fall down when changing. hahaha. Two - it is easier to change in the room than bathroom, definitely! Somemore we are in our own house. We should feel comfortable in it! Not that anyone will look at us, wrapped in towel like souvlaki. Oh well, I am not a shy person, not shy to show off my fats! hahaha.

One thing that most gal hated, and I still have no idea why, is the Toilet Seat. Why are you people becoming so furious when we left our toilet seat up? Isn't it easier for us to pee?; while rushing to the toilet, we still need to lift the toilet seat up, then only we can pee... If we forgot to lift the seat up, then we might get our urea onto the seat. And the gal definitely hated it. We guys are definitely not going to follow you gal in peeing style: Seat and Pee.

I am not encouraging any war against any gender. And I am definitely not encouraging homosexuals. I am voicing out something we guys think it is weird to be so frustrated off. Well, you gals need to love our habit to love us then! Hehehe.

Mahjong麻雀

These few days I did not blog as often as I did. This is because MAHJONG! I started playing mahjong only after I reach Australia... First game was in Daylesford's vacation house, played with one bunch of aunties and gay uncles (they are my aunt's mahjong group friend)...

Then last last week, Kelvin (my housemate) start asking people to play mahjong. Although I played a few games in Daylesford, we were playing beginner mahjong. No "13 yu" no this and that.... Play the few round, but really suck in that. I had no idea how to do strategies. Luckily Kel still good enough to teach me, using the hard way.... He might be a good teacher, but the method of teaching he used is something like the Singaporean Army Force (SAF).... Okay, let's introduce to people what is Mahjong.

It was believe Mahjong derived from Confusious, THE greatest philospher of China. Like normal poker cards, every pattern have 4 similar tiles. There are big tiles: East, South, West, North, Red Dragon 中(middle), Green Dragon (prosperity), White Dragon (white board). Then of course you have Dots, Bamboos, and Character tiles.

Mahjong is a very good game because it need you to think quite a lot, when you are doing strategy. What kind of strategy? Well depends on your luck as well. They said when you loved your tiles enough, all the good one will come to you. If not, the one that you throw out, will come back.... Anyway, not going to talk much about mahjong. Want to know more, go google it yourself. Busy playing mahjong.

Hormones

Your body is in constant change!!! You started to grow when the hormones in your body increase your cell metabolism. Let's be more specific and choose a specific spot to elaborate this terminology.

When you reached adolescence, some part of your body will increase in size, because of the hormones in your body.

It become bigger and filled with blood.

In adolescence, you still can't control It's growth.

When It grows big, you will be embarrassed and tends to hide It away.

When you are curious about that It, and you played with It, It will burst with some kind of juice...

After all the juice is out of It, you will definitely feel good of yourself.

When blood start coming up from It, you will be worry...

Hair might start to grow, and if you are influenced by the norm of the community, you start shaving It.

Sometime, It will bleed when you shave It... And it hurts real bad.

But when you become older, you'll spend less time with It.

It no longer grow as much as you recalled, and you can control It already.

It won't come up when you don't want It to be.

To some people, It has it's own name.

But to some uncreative person, It's name started with P-

By now, You people should know what It is.

Bachelor of Stupidity (Procrastination)

Before I began crapping, I would like to thank Yannick, my useless next door Mauritian housemate, who helped me with my blog html!!!!!!

Okay, back to crapping. ;P

This semester is my final semester, of my normal degree in Stupidity; majored in Procrastination. This sem, seen it is the last semester, I shall practise the procrastination to its fullest! With all the knowledge taught by my lecturers, I shall make full use of it!!!My lecturers and family sure very proud of me!!!! Being able to fully use the knowledge I've learned in the class.

I just can't help it. These few days, I am very unproductive in doing my stuffs... Spend most of the time watching cartoons, tv series and useless comedy that made me the noisiest housemates; with my laughter!!!! Come to South 6, and you can hear my laughter in my room!!!! My housemates said that I am the one who chase away the other serious Aussie housemates; one of them is a lady. But I don't think it is fully my fault.... Okay I watch a lot of comedy and funny cartoons and animes, I watch it to heal myself!!!!

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Btw, I came from Leong's family. And our family is known to be very loud! If someone stayed in another block from our house, you can hear my sister 'shouting' with my cousins ('shouted' back at the same time). But the truth is, she is just talking with my cousin. I am the so call quiet black sheep in the whole family of Leong. Of course, besides my mom who came from strict Teow Chew family. Oh, Yannick should able to tell you people, that I always sing in my room.... But what can I do? I missed RedBox so damn much....Whoever you are, we need to go sing karaoke next time I come back Malaysia!!!!

Okay back to my degree, although I've one assignment that need to hand up next week, another one on 30th March, I am still procrastinating heaps! I can't help it (I said it again, twice in a same entry)... It is like, I got this bacteria called Studymoodlesscoccus sp. that multiplied in million times every time I open my books... At the mean time, the Bacillus watchtvus which happen to be synergistic with the Studymoodlesscoccus sp., had the enzymes which hypnotise me to watch more movies and tv. To make the matter worse, my immunity to this two bacteria.... Hope to see a doctor real soon. I don't want to fail any of my units... My seniors are saying that, my this sem units are darn easy. And they reckon I'll do it good.... We will see....

I shall let these bacteria inhibits my immune system until this weekend. Then I really need to work hard. So I can continue my Bachelor of Stupidity. This time will be more specific: Bachelor of Stupidity (Honours) with project in Lecture Halls Head-Fishing. In which, I will be researching on the benefits on head-fishing in lecture halls. I looked through the papers on that study and it said you will gain more stupidity in doing that!!!!! If you don't see me chatting away in MSN, give me some benefit of doubt!!! Practising my procrastination knowledge!!!!

Drawn Together

From L-R: Wooldoor, Toot, Ling-Ling, Foxxy, Xandir, Clara, Spanky Ham, Captain Hero

These few days, if you see what I am doing in my room, I am kinda hooked to this cartoon called Drawn Together! This nice little innocent cartoon is an animated reality show from America, in which 8 famous cartoon characters are drawn together and so happen to be in the Big Brother House! (Those who stayed in a Western countries should know what is Big Brother Show).

Similar to Big Brother (where all the casts are real people), Drawn Together touches: incest, homosexual, sex, spousal abuse, racism, etc etc. But it is not as harsh as South Park and had some Simpsons stupidity. Some of the joke is awfully lame, but at the same time not that completely lame because it is a cartoon!

This is the characters in the animated reality show:

• Captain Hero - perverted, macho egoist Superman, along with other superheroes characteristics


• Foxxy Love - a character from Josie and the Pussycats. She sounded perverted and loved SM as well.


• Princess Clara - racist, naive, and pampered princess (in the form of Ariel from Little Mermaid; but no fishtail)


• Ling-Ling - Pikachu from Pokemon, but speak pseudo-Japanese gibberish....


• Spanky Ham - the funniest character, that Ben Ben like the most. ( I prefer Foxxy Love!)


• Toot Braustein - fat-love-eating-bitch character from the oldies, Betty Boop.


• Wooldoor Sockbat - cute but weird, in a form of Spongebob Squarepant


• Xandir Wifflebottom - homosexual game character from The Legend of Zelda

It is an awesome cartoons and I urge you perverted people to watch it!!!!!! Aussie channel is in SBS, Monday 9-9.30pm. But I have already downloaded the Season 1 and 2. You might as well download it from internet!!!!!!Speaking of perverted, Yannick did say, "This cartoon will increase your pervertism (pervertism - word I made it myself)". How many guys out there are not pervert? I reckon all of us are!!!!! Hahahaha. Don't you dare disagree with me..... Some of my friends (both blokes and gals) said, "Guy/Bloke who is not pervert, is not a guy/bloke".

When you walk past a beautiful gal, or even some other people missus, you will definitely check her out! And when you walk with your bunch of friends (all guys), you people will speak to each other using your eye-brow in the way you can tell him/them to look at the particular pretty! I won't said it out loud about the blokes secret gesture!!!!! Sorry all my missus!!!
