Handicap

Handicap. What's it like being handicap? Well now Ive got a chance to "feel" whats it like. Well not really what's it like, just maybe 1% handicapped.

Last week I got into an accident. A very stupid could have been prevented accident, more like I did this on myself type of accident. I shall not talk about how I got it but rather how its been being "handicapped". So now Ive got my leg stitched up, yes stitched up and bandaged nicely Im all set to be "handicapped" for awhile.

Yes, you see handicapped people everywhere, day in day out until they make no difference whatsoever in your life. You do. Dont deny it. Well since Im stitched up now, I take a second to think how fortunate I am that my disability is only temporary every time I see someone who is actually handicapped. For life.

Being "handicapped" makes doing daily activities a whole lot difficult. Simple things you wouldnt have to use your brain activities requires some effort. Taking a shower is tricky, you gotto make sure the bandaged part doesnt get wet.

Walking about is also hard. You basically can hobble around, not walk. I think Im gettin better at this hobbling part.

Lastly being "handicapped", means I cant jog/carry my weights for a week or two which for me is the HUGEST draw back of this accident. AIIIIII!!!

Life : The Next Chapter

Well, it has been two weeks since I embarked on this new journey in life. The working life. Im currently workin at KL. Technology Park Malaysia, beside Bukit Jalil. It is a totally new way of life, of what Ive been used too. Being a student is the bestest thingy ever. I basically wanna make a comparison of life here and back home.

1. Traffic
Here: Traffic here is fast!
Home: I thought I drove fast till I came here. Wow. Now Im the one driving slow

2. Traffic lights #1
Here: Once the light turns green people actually start moving!
Home: Once the light turns green people start realizing it, think about it, look for clutch, look for gear number 1 then moove.

3. Traffic lights #2
Here: When the light turns green the fourth or third car will automatically start blaring their horns as if you were asleep and forgot to move.
Home:People tend to wait patiently with the car infront if they dont move.

4.Traffic lights #3
Here:Red?
Home:If the green was on long, before it starts flickering, people will already slow down.

5.Traffic lights #4
Here:People will get as close to you
Home:You can fit a truck in between!

6.Lunch
Here:5 bucks for lunch here is possible. You gotta look around, watch what you pile up on your plate.Drinks maybe...depends
Home:5 bucks for anythin and everythin. Yes, drinks included.

7.Small brains
Here:Plenty of wannabes. Kelisas horning and flashing high beam on Porches, Alphards, Mercs, BMWs. Yes, I notice its Kelisas. Anybody care to explain why??
Home:They drive and block up the fast lane. This is general la, not Kelisas. ALL* cars block the fast lane. Dunno whats it for meh!?

8.Tolls
Here:Go here go there pay toll
Home:Toll?

9.Car Park
Here:5 bucks a day? Hmm..not bad. Reasonable.
Home:Must put parking coupon ar? Walaowei the gobermen blahblahblahblahblah

I am surivin! woohoo! Atleast theres the pay here. Which is uh. not enough to cover expenses and loans. But at least once back home I can turn the brain OFF till the next morning. Somethin unlike students can do. Which I do miss! Hahahah

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost (1874–1963)

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. HOPEFULLY!

Left is my uh cousin's daughter and right is my cousin! The left baby has to call the right baby aunty. They are only a few months apart!!! Hmmmm.....

Papa John's @ AEON Bandaraya Melaka

JUST got back from dinner here.


The pizza here compared to the other one is simply fantastic! The crust isnt too thick till you feel like eatin a thick slice of bread instead.


Breadstick here is actually GOOD compared to the other one which is err not nice edible.


Baked rice is good! Rice is super soft. More cheese would be right. The amount of meat and vege is alright just not enough cheese.


The sauces! MY! They gave two dishes of the pizza tomatoey sauce, which was good, then (see top right corner) yea.. that was garlic butter! Definitely off limits for those watchin their weight. The taste of that melted butter with your breadsticks/pizza... oh so nice. Whats not to like about butter right? Not free flowing though. 1MYR for refill.


Overall its a definitely will go again place. The other place has lost my vote.

AEON Bandaraya Melaka

the chief minister police escort dropped his bike :D
pretty heavy. took him plus another two guards to get it upright again.

Ugly Malaysians

Ok Ive just got back from the post office after a good while. Lemme give you the senario.
Its crowded, people take numbers to get in line. Mostly are there to pay their bills.
There are three counters here at Tesco. Since there were alot of people they decided to open counter one and two just to pay bills.

Fair enough. It keeps the traffic moving smoothly.
Counter 3 still requires to follow the number called out. But since many people were there to pay their bills, their numbers were not counted.

So there was I, waiting near counter 3. The lady will punch in the next number wait a couple seconds then call out the next number. My number was 1054. A elderly malay couple with number 1056 decided "hey why not jump in and cut queue?" while the counter lady was still at number 1051. Ok to be fair I gave them the benefit of doubt. Maybe they really did thought that the numbers 1052- 1055 were already gone.

After going to the counter your suppose to put in your piece of paper with your number on into a little basket. To my absolute disbelief, these two old people turn around and happyily joked and laughed and gave their number to another young malay lady! Asking her to go to the counter to get attended immdiately! ABOSULETY INCREDIBLE!

First you cut queue. Then gave your number which has not even been called to another customer and askin her to get attended to immdiately? WOW!

Anyway by that time counters 1 and 2 were done with all the bill paying customers and I was called to counter 2... to get registered as a voter as persisted by dad. I fail to see the point of voting.

Bangkok

Durin the last week of 09, I went on a holiday with my family over 1,600 km up north to Bangkok, Thailand

The food there was superb. Lemme put in it one word for you, PORK!

My favourite is their bee hoon soup with pork balls. Must be a national dish or somethin, cause its sold EVERYWHERE! something like we have hee kiau and wantan mee everywhere here they have this everywhere there.

Its totally unlike our bee hoon soup here which I do not eat. Their bee hoon is slighty different. Their soup guessin they use pork balls they must have used pork bones for the soup. A good heap of bones.

Oh and their pork. According to mum it doesnt have the pork "smell". The pork over there is extremely tender and wonderful!

BBQ pork buns...

Pork Samurai Burger


Yes it is that good. I think I had this everyday I was there.


A night view from the hotel..

Their so advanced you dont even have drive tru's! They brin the food as your stuck in the jam.




Boat heading towards the floating market. Definetly a must go!

The same noodles again! HAHAHAHAHA

you ask your boatman to pull over, get a bowl, and off you go cruisin along the channels with a hot bowl of bee hoon soup in your hands.

Went for a dinner night cruise. Buffet.
My stomache couldnt handle it the next day :(
I had ALOT to eat. Trust me. If your stomache gives way the next day you definetly had waaaaay too much.




This is the uh...3rd or 4th floor of a mall. A HUGE high classy mall. They have an entire floor dedicated to sell BMWs, Maserati, Lotus, Porshe and Audi. Beat that Msia! All on the same floor in a mall. Cool.




Penang. Doesnt it look so near?
