Sombong Siot

Sombong siot, tulis email dalam English, die igt die habis bagus

Memang, memang aku habis bagus. Kau yang malas nak bace dalam English, kau plak nak kecoh. Bukannya aku pakai ayat-ayat yang ‘tebabo‘. Setiap garisan mudah difahami. Kalau kau kata kau nak tolong Melayu, then by all means, remove me from your list. I’m not a sympathetic Malay. I can live without your contract.

It would’ve been much easier if you told me you want it in Malay. Dumbass!

ps: Some people chose to be morons. What a waste of air.

Bye Bye Xperia

I’ve managed to sell the Xperia. Now I’m bursting with flavors!

It wasn’t because Xperia wasn’t that good. It’s just too good for me. It was a phone for pure business man or sales people who needs up-to-date emails. I am sure I don’t belong in that group of people.

I was also bothered by the fact that it connects to GPRS/3G automatically. Luckily it only drained my prepaid number. Unlike most people, my postpaid plan rarely exceed RM50 per month. And I intend to keep it that way.

How much did I sell it for? RM 1,550.

Yeah I dumped the hot and sassy girlfriend, now it’s someone else’s problem.

ps: Let’s go for sushi!

pss: I made it! Top 100 blog in Malaysia. No 35! But still, not as wicked as I used to be. Darn.

The Jagung Story

I have a long exhausting to-do list, but I’ll blog for your sake ;)

It was hot weekend in circa 1997. I was lying on the lower bunker bed, burying my face on Dragon Ball comic. An annoying voice struck the air, “Jagung bakar, lapan posen, Isnin dapat” as he enters the dorm.

I promptly got out of bed and made my name on the list.

Being boys, we’re always hungry. Plus jagung bakar was never on Kuala Kangsar’s menu. A chance like this is hardly a miss.

As Monday school ends, I rushed to find M, the Jagung seller. “Jagung aku mane?”, I asked. M replied, “Lepas games hour (6.30pm)”.

Bro, jagung aku mane?”. M replied, “Lepas prep malam (11.00pm)”.

As night falls and reading Dragon Ball for the 17th time, I went searching for M. I really want that jagung.

Jagung?” the question gets shorter, so was my temper. It continued for a few days, and M would give another time or day.

One day, M announced that his supplier couldn’t deliver and monies were being refunded. Somehow, I never got mine. I am very certain, I wasn’t the only victim. Not to be stingy, but those days, 80 sen could really fill ones tummy.

From that day onwards, when ever I crossed path with M, the common ice breaking would either be, “Jagung?” or “Duit jagung?” (on or off MCKK). Even the ones who never ordered used the line.

Up till today, whenever we mentioned M, the thought of juicy butter soaked grill corn came to mind and how depressing it felt. ‘Jagung‘ is now commonly associated with the term Judas, the one who bails out on plans. Fong Fey Kei (FFK) in Cantonese.

M is now a happily married (his invitation was never extended to us, fear of jagung) and a doctor for Ministry of Defense.

Despite his happy ending, I still want my jagung.

ps: This took 2 hours! Gosh, back to work Ed!

The Long Awaited PD Trip is Finally Over

It was a simple day trip, but the preparation took months. Everything was carried out in details. Everyone was given a task. Mine was rather simple, to help out what needs an extra hand.

Let’s not waste time and straight to pictures! Since I’m a pretty nice guy, I’m not going to burst your bandwidth downloading unnecessary pictures.

Click to enlarge.

Flirting with Xperia

I’m still contemplating over Xperia and 5800. I can’t possibly have two good phones at hand. It would be an injustice to my pocket.

To be able to test two phones, I have to get another sim card. Luckily, starter packs isn’t that expensive anymore. While I was browsing through the numbers, I saw the sales girl’s eyes locked on my Xperia.

Sales Girl: I suke la phone you.
NoktahHitam: You nak masuk dalam phonebook I?
Sales Girl: I cakap I suke phone tu. Bukan phonebook.
NoktahHitam: Lebih baik suke tuan die dari phone tu.
Sales Girl: Tak bole. I dah kawen.

And yet you’re flirting with me?

I didn’t know phones are chick magnet. Now it makes it harder to sell the Xperia.

ps: Going to PD tomorrow! A gentleman’s weekend indeed!
