loads of question marks after a typical chinese dinner..

its been some time since i went to a typical chinese dinner.. but this time round.. it has left me feeling pretty weird and curious about the perception of these village ppl..


so since i was invited by the ketua kampung.. so i went.. wondered awhile of what to wear.. but coincidentally all my formal cloths were at rawang.. so i went in a black t-shirt and jeans.. lol....


when i got there, i felt so under-dressed and although many were not in super good quality cloths but at least they had collars.. there were loads of ppl.. CHINESE ppl.. mostly cina ah peks and aunties.. so i met up with Dato' Leong (the ketua kampung) and got introduced to some other ketua kampung and some MCA ppl..


when i was about to sit at a random table, Dato' Leong dragged me to his table.. the VIP table.. i was like "shocked".. under-dressed, kid like and sitting with ppl who's probably 3-4 times my age.. lol.. ppl from the back was taking peeps to see who's this "fellow" who's sitting with all the VIP..


the program was super lengthy and without much entertainment.. basically the agenda was just allowing ppl from my table to go on stage and give speeches. of course.. EXPECT ME..


then for the opening ceremony, i've never seen so many ppl doing an opening ceremony in my whole entire life.. i think it was about 20-25 ppl up on stage to do a 2 sec opening ceremony.. lol... this sums up to a little observation i've been doing with rural area places ppl..

1. they like to be involve in activities which allows them to hold positions
2. they often give excessive attention and recognition to ppl with position although not relevant
3. they tend to grab as many position as possible
4. they take A LOT of pride in their positions
5. the higher their position, the louder they talk and criticize ppl
6. politicians more than often give empty promises (even if they've lost the election)


after that, there was a karaoke session where a mixture of good singers and self proclaimed good singers (horrible) came on stage to perform their songs.. before they had enough, the emcee cut them off for a lucky draw.. 400+ ppl and about 60-70 prizes. to my surprise, once the last draw's number was called, almost everyone stood up and started walking out.. NO good night or thank you speech... my goodness...


so, i also ciao la.. said good bye, thank you, shook some hands then balik rumah to sleep..!!!



tomorrow's last day of work.. gonna leave early back home if possible to do some cny cloths shopping + cut my messy hair.. the best part... HOLIDAY FOR COUPLE OF DAYS..!!! :)

the post without pictures..... again.....

for the past few yrs, i feel that CNY and many major celebrations has lost it's colors, excitement and meaning.. probably work, studies and all the other stuff have been cramping my up that i did not have time to take notice..


but this year, i've been having many pre CNY goodies.. :)

1. free hardware -> i went over to one of my estate's supplier to get some hardware to do up my pond as i just moved to this new place.. its an awesomely big but really shallow.. so i got ppl to dig and redo the whole thing.. so i got some tools, netting n some other stuff.. so happen, the boss was in a good mood n i wanted to pay.. but he told me not to.. was on him.. weee...


2. free dinner X 2 -> monday, supplier belanja dinner at a chinese halal hotel.. 10 course meal with only 7 ppl per table.. my goodness.. it was like super full... after that, went bowling.. man i'm so lousy at it.. my score was i think only 90+.. another dinner tonight.. got invited by the ketua kampung.. its like a chinese kampung having their CNY celebration dinner.. good time to get to know the kampung ppl in case i get into some trouble.. muahaha.. plus go check out if there's any chicks around.. :P


3. cheaper stuff -> thanks to my dog (messy) i needed to send my shoe to repair + buy a new shoe in dec.. i've been going back to the shop to take that shoe i think about 3 times.. and on the 4th time.. i got it.. only cost me 25 bcuks when it was suppose to be 35.. :) then i went to buy some other stuff for my house.. cabinet, toaster bla bla bla.. got to know this shop owner (aunty) and she gave me some really decent price.. :) weeee.....


4. free car service -> need i explain more?? CNY gift.. muahahahaha...


5. loads of oranges -> basically in my new estate, its me and one staff.. yesterday a new staff came.. but our suppliers gave us like 12 + 1 +1 (my pongkam) of oranges.. what to do.. go distribute to workers la.. they so happy.. lol....


6. ANG PAU!!!! -> not yet.. soon to come.. :) weeee.... the only ppl who rugi is my parents.. muahahahaha... thanks mom, thanks dad:)

after 7 months..

due to complains from multiple ppl that i've not been blogging so i'm start again.. hiahz.. dunno where to start.. so many things happened this 2 months..


but guess what.. today marks the date where i hit 7 months of working in the plantation sector.. a sector that noone would even imagine me going in to.. but i guess it was wrong.. its only 2 months more to either early confirmation (good performance) or regular confirmation (1year).. i need to start bugging my manager to confirm me ady.. lol...


anyhow, my new house's smaller than my previous one, smaller garden, smaller room, smaller kitchen but a really big pond.. hahaha... *lazy to upload pic coz connection super slow n unstable*


besides that i'm learning up the new estate.. tomorrow there will be a new staff coming.. indian guy previous from united plantation (suppose to be a very god plantation). i also not sure y he's coming to klk.. its like degrading his planter's status.. lol.. but nvm.. i'll hear from him tomorrow...


back to watching tv..
