pressure

I never realised how many GOOD blogs are out there.... You must must read memoirs of a poklen.... the addie is http://memoirsofapoklen.blogspot.com if u have time go check it out. If you dont have time go make some. Especially if you bruneian... whoever Ziq and Maya are... you guys ROCK man.... Now I dont have to rack my brain when people ask me bout Bruneians... Well the whole blog says alot about bruneian humor... and how BITCHIN' is part of our culture, but at least Ziq and Maya have made it readable, they are the poklen experts of the millenium.

(if u wanna know what POKLEN means.... go read the blog)

OK fine, alot of it is their opinion, but alot of people do agree what, although silently, they have just put into words what alot of us have thought for ages. Funny shit....

So yeah, had the opportunity to sit with someone who wants to put an end to piracy in Brunei. Good luck dude.... And it was really refreshing to actually get a lecture about how kedai communist is a haven for thieves. Considering u used to go der urself... hehehe....Are you sure you Bruneian... Amazing how many different arguments he had to get his point across.... But Im sure he had his own motive.... You would think hes gonna start selling original DVDs or something.... hehehe.... Dude, you do know that alot of tourists look forward to visiting our fake HMV.... we're actually very well known for it... That, oil and young girls that sell themselves for $20 recharge cards, oh yeah and our rainforests....

WEDDINGS

How many of you actually go to weddings? Seriously, For those who dont have families yet or are still unmarried, unless its a friend, u really cant be arsed to go to your aunty's anak buah punya laki's biras's nini's cousin twice removed's son's wedding..... The argument is always, 'jangan catu lai, karang udah ko kahwin nada orang mau datang!' Im thinking thats OK what, I dont know them, they dont know me, save me alotta money what.... hehehe... Why is there so much emphasis on one moment in a couples life, oh oh, you mean if we take out a loan and spend enough to buy two houses on fancy schmancy baju and pelamin and food and GIFTS then my husband will never ever stray and we will live happily ever after.... really? OK DEN...


one of my friends is still paying off the loan he took out to pay for his wedding, and he is now divorced..... COOL rite.....

and I wouldnt wanna keep those makciks from making their very KATOKed bajus and when else can they wear their jewelry.... kesian jua tu.... I mean hello, HIGHLIGHT kaliah..... The hustle and the bustle of making baju, and make sure enough kain for their anak, mesti matching kali ah, kalau inda they wont be able to recognise them.... hehehe....


But the BEST bit is, no its not when the bride and groom come out to say hi under the archway yg kan gugur luan banyak bunga plastic... Its when these wonderful makciks whip out der little plastics so they can tapau the food, its like, can u at least wait until kami we actually taken some of it first, udahtah they eating for free, rangka lagitu, well im not saying the food is that great... tapi apakan, we have to make sure we have enough rations kah? some of them dont need the extra food what... ok im sorry... advice to wedding planners, please dont provide gifts that dont fit the terima kasih plastic properly, any extra space can be used to fit grapes, oranges or kuih.... I


m not making this shit up, I dont know where to look sometimes, you'd think if they can afford the 10 solid gold bracelets around both their wrists, the numerous rings on their fingers and the many many necklaces they wear at the same time.... not forgetting the bruneian version of bling, the heavy ass wapaks, some of them bigger then the kids wearing them, kesian u know, the kids just wanna run around and play... at least they'll have really strong necks im thinking so they can eventually elevate them selves to the multi-necklace trend that u must follow once u older... all in the name of good training i say....

Next time you at a wedding, or panggilan..... after everyone starts eating, look at your watches, its the race of wiggle wiggle, fuss fuss, fidget fidget....... on your marks get set gooooooooo... siapa paling laju get up and go.... I mean, youve got your present, plus as many others as u can get off the people giving them away at the entrance, "anak ku lagi lai drumah, c anu, yg nda dapat dtg", given your $2 in the envelope left over from hari raya, or the one youve specially printed with your name, even though nda jua banyak isinya.... tapaued some food... go home la ah.... you deserve it, it must be tiring to lug all that around, plus the jewerly, the KATOK on your baju, the effort you made on your hair (saloon with some chinese name) or tudong, cause u r a religious woman to the maximal.... and all that bitching and telling story.... aiyo... u need your rest....


Im thinking ive made enough effort on my post.... happy now RANO... pressure wa.... I should have made up a fake blog name la.... hahaha

ITS ALL GOOD...........
