Lahad Datu. . . (I have no idea how to title this post..)

Greeting from Lahad Datu!

Sorry for the short absence from this blog. When was the last blog post? November 13th lol! Today is November 26th, so almost 2 weeks without any blog post. What a lazy brooger!!

I’ve been busy (ehem this time it is for real) adjusting my life in Lahad Datu for past one week. Just came here last week and been busy since. Taking over people’s job halfway is not fun at all.

Scratching my head figuring out the reports, calculations and what not, people on top chasing you to produce something when you have yet to warm the seat you’re given, and to top that need to hear complaints and gossips of what happened when I was not here from the subordinates. Managing people is the number one pain in the ass job.

People don’t like to be managed. We’re always some sort of rebels at heart, launching perpetual wars against this world with some self serving causes only our own self can identify with. Probably that explains the messes this world is in, the never ending conflicts among humans, the slow and painful destruction of this pretty world with our disastrous way of life. (Shit did I sound normal?)

Lahad Datu is truly a cowboy town. Among the things you’ll notice when you set foot to this little town are:

1. 4WD vehicles zooming here and there. I think maybe out of 10 vehicles on the road, 8 of them are 4WD vehicles.

2. There are many car wash centres. Business is good, thanks to the dirty road and probably the nature of works these vehicle owners are involved with. Most are working at the plantations, construction sites, factories, shipyards and seems like there is mud everywhere. It is as if Lahad Datu is one big construction site. Cleanliness doesn’t seem to be top in the list of concerns here. Wait till I get you some photos at the fish and chicken market next time. Ehe!

‘Rainforest’ of palm oil trees

3. Food is a bit expensive for a relatively quiet and small town. 3 persons, breakfast with milo, tea, coffee and two plates of fried mee = RM15. A plate of fried mee will cost you RM5. ‘Economy’ rice will cost you between RM5-Rm8.

Let’s see if I can compile a ‘10 things about Lahad Datu’ you should know list for my blog eh? I had the chance to make a short trip down Tawau last Sunday to check out awesome town. the chicks. I heard the chicks down there are worth checking out. Amber Chia is from Tawau. I was hoping to see chicks with juicy, plump lips like her (but hopefully not talking Engrish like her)

Met up with a uni friend, went around the town and bought some local snacks. Got this ‘ Keropok Amplang’ – ball shaped crackers made from mackerel and shrimp fillet at Tawau main market.

Hmm, it does look like some funny pills…

Crispeeeeyyhhh! Nom nom nom..

Spent one afternoon in Tawau then came back to Lahad Datu. 1-2 hours drive, depends on how awesome you’re on the road. Driving around this part of the world is quite ’scary’.

Life here is seriously boring. After work, stay at home reading books, listening to the radio and online from my mobile. Facebooking and Tweeting lah, what else? Internet connection at my place sucks.

Er, that’s another reason I don’t blog Well, at work surely I cannot blog when I have things to attend to. (tee hee hee..) I can’t even online properly from my mobile using Celcom Broadband, what more to try on the netbook. Boo!! I can only online using DiGi, although slow but at least consistent. And surfing using mobile, it’s considerably fast.

For the past week, I slept before 11pm, woke up around 6am. That’s a sign I am getting old. Ask Suituapui what time he sleeps? *chuckles* I guess that’s it for now. Till the next boring update~!

ps: Am going to celebrate my 27th birthday here in Lahad Datu. -.-|||

Smelly people should be shot to death, repeatedly!

Smelly people must be shot to death, repeatedly.

I was boarding my flight back to Miri from Kuching on last Sunday and a shapeshifter (borrowing the phrase from the 62% evil michael ooi) was sitting next to me.

When I sat down after putting my hand luggage, immediately I noticed an unpleasant smell coming from my side, greeting my sensitive olfactory sense. I always have a heightened level of sensory perception when it comes to smell and taste. First thing I would notice about a person I meet, is their smell. *sniff sniff*

She smelled like she was dipped in shit for days, well perhaps she marinated herself in a pool of shit. No, I didn’t ask if she just came back from some kind of fetish spa. I was traumatised for the whole duration of the journey back home. I sat with my face facing the opposite side, reading my book and occasionally sniffing myself because, I smell damn good damn it!

I swear she farted few times during the flight. I could smell the sudden, heavily concentrated toxic fumes assaults every now and then so it must be coming from her smelly orifice, releasing it to kill me slowly. Could she be a hired assassin sent to eliminate me for making too many hairy jokes? I was choking in toxic fumes, afraid that I would die a smelly death next to a smelly person. That would be really tragic.

Smelly people should be shot to death, repeatedly!

ps: Come closer, let me have a whiff of your smell.. it better be good, hey!

pss: Do you know that BN politicians and some of their supporters also have a certain distinctive smell? Smell like shit. Too much craps, geddit? I bet my last fortune, Hishammuddin’s mouth is freaking smelly

Wan Burger, The Best Burger Stall in Sarikei!

It’s been a while since I posted anything on food,  if you have noticed. Ehem, yes, I did post other stuffs aside from politics. I posted on how to make your own fried popiah, how to fry a nice, delicious looking crispy fried chicken, my slimy experience, cooking simple home food etc. before. Well you can always hop over to Suituapui’s blog – …Still crazy over food after all this years! for his food posts.

I stopped writing food post after hearing a comment from NH. But today, I’ll make an exception to promote the best burger stall in Sarikei – Wan Burger!

A leech & a cock!

Greetings people!

I just came back from the deep jungle of Limbang, deprived of mobile signal (damn you DiGi! What Widest Coverage!) and internet connection. I had fun plucking leeches from my legs, bitten by insects, traveling along the river and walking under the rain in the forest. I am clueless of what are the latest shits going around the world and especially in Malaysia but knowing the typical everyday stories we are stuffed with I guess I do not miss any of it.

Leech! This bugger left nasty marks on the skin after it sucked your blood. I had more photos, some pretty disgusting with bloods and mashed leeches. Nevermind. Anyway, I bumped  into bigger ‘leeches’ at Limbang town.  ROTFLMAO!!
