Kek See!!

went to the pasar malam last night. bought like 8 scrunchies/claws/rubberbands for like rm5 or something..malaysia is pretty amazing lah..cos you know how you go to other countries like singapore or australia or even london for that matter..they have laws and they actually follow them, know what i mean?so it brings me to think that we malaysians are like rebels of the free world like that..(got right,abit?)..its hard to explain lah but its like here, we have piracy, we have bribery, and thenn..there are our drivers..(that one alone should get us an award if there ever was a contest for "Patientest person during a traffic jam" or "Most skilled weaver between cars especially on highways") but honestly, i think it's brilliant..cos i totally hated driving in aussieland..it was like ok..you know here right lane means go fast, damn fast or superfast right?here, got a certain understanding one right?like people tail gate abit means they wanna overtake lah, then they flash you means they reeeally wanna overtake right?ok, in aussie..its different..they LOVE using their horns..any little bloody thing they horn..its like they panic abit because they follow every single road rule and they stop being creative, you know? and on the highways, there are like what, 4 to 5 lanes?all lanes will consist of people doing about 50 -60km/h...ON A HIGHWAY!!!!!(these memories get me all kek see, i tell you..:P)((for non-hokkiens, thats kek sei in kantonese))

ok..on another note..today i think i received about 9 smses from 9 different people..this may seem few to some, alot to others..but here's my question, when did typing replace talking?(please bear with me, this whole friendster experience gives me the heebie-geebies sometimes)or maybe there's an sms contest that i should know about?because MY GAWD MAN!!talk about culture shock coming back here...i mean, i can fully understand if people had to send the same message to multiple people but aiyoh!!pick up the damn phone once in a while lah before you forget how to dial someone's number..which is slowly happening thanks to bloody handphones..andd its not that im not grateful for new technology but i think im starting to forget my friend's voices..and smses are so bloody ambiguous you know? sms, msn, irc,icq, blogs..its like they're there to facilitate one into becoming a hermit!and i've seen it too!people stop knowing how to communicate face-to-face, shy guys become even shy-er for example,instead of asking her on a date why dont i just sms her?, girls start getting more paranoid (shit, why didnt he message back?why doesnt he like me, even when sometimes, there's nothing to sms back to!)and i would've been blissfully unaware of all this going on had it not been for a dear, sweet friend who told me, albeit politely but still with a little tinge of annoyance about my bad habit of not replying smses on time..but here's the thing,how does one know when to reply and when not to?cos it usually doesnt end with just one message, oh no...it drags baby...at those times,i'm thinking, wouldn't it just be easier to call and get "oi whats up?" "nothing much,just working" "wanna have lunch?" "ok, what time?" "1?" "ok,meet you at ..?" "ok chao" "chao" out of the way in 2 minutes on the phone compared to 6 messages or sometimes more because you didnt get the message on time so you've already had lunch, so you gotta apologise..aiyohhhhhh..kek see!
