bridging over maybe?

hello, i don’t think people read this blog much, but i’d like to say that i’ll continue posting some stuff as soon as i have some free time to do so. i’ve been up and about taking some pictures. some with ky and lanatir , some whilst i was out with a colleague of mine and some on my own at home. venturing into digital photography is something really new to me, for previously i’ve only had chances shooting with a yashica and a zenit film slr, and some other point and shoot digital cameras. i suppose i’d start posting pictures here when i can, and hopefully by the time of my next post, i’d be posting from a url with my own namesake on it. its not that i’m taking blogging serious or anything. i just would like to own a piece of cyber real estate which bears my name.

anyway, i don’t really have much to write at this moment, except to express my worries about the huge workload i have at the office, but i think what i’m distracted most by is the excited feeling i’m getting from my baby steps in to the world of photography. and yes.. i don’t know nuts yet, and probably will never know enough. after all, the more you know, the more you realize there’s more to learn about. the journey begins…

until my next post.. i hope everyone’s having a good time.

alcohol.girls from china.a pole.in a murano.

the following story involves alcohol… girls from china …. a sturdy pole… and a nissan murano.

imaginative minds could definitely concoct a steamy and saucy story involving the above key phrases, but not me. i will speak of the events that took place on that tuesday/wednesday night.

i had just left ky’s place that evening, and i was heading home. and lately a bunch of ex classmates from high school have been hanging out together on a regular basis since most of them were back for holidays. so i got home at about 9 pm and i got a call from a my ex classmate Kevin (should be a pilot in a couple of months.. and ladies, he’s definitely a looker..) i agreed to pick him up at 10pm to go out for a drink and later on have a game of Risk (yes we still play board games even though we’re like 25 but i think it’s pretty fun.. and yes i might come off as a total geek/loser for saying that)…anyway, 10pm came and i text-ed Kevin that i’ll be 10 minutes late cause i was gonna have some food first (but in actual fact, i was lazing on bed and almost fell asleep). and about 10.10pm i got a reply, dude come not got some ‘happening’ accident in front of my house, police all coming now..

so on i rushed there, and this is what i saw.

murano and the pole

i was totally amused by what i saw. The pole was totally detached from its footing. the base has shattered and was not even held down by anything. is the car were to be moved the whole pole would just fall.

anyway, to make a long story short, what we found out later was the the driver and passengers were both from china, i believe they were escorts of some sort, thought the originally claimed that they were air stewardesses ( and no..i didn’t find them attractive one bit..) they were drunk when they got into the accident. but check out this next picture..

murano close up

The car didn’t even have a DENT… well maybe a tiny one.. BUT MAN it looked like it had such a MINOR accident. everyone at the scene were commenting how their next car would be a murano, coz its frigging solid..

so, after the whole excitement died down, i go to thinking.. if i were to be on time to my friends house to pick him up. i would have been there to see it, or if i were to be on time, my car would have been that electricity pole. i don’t think my tin can of a car can stand up to a murano. i could have been injured for gods sake!

the moral of the story is,

*buy a murano, if you’re a bad driver… at least it saves you on expansive fix ups

*be lazy if you feel like it.. i felt lazy and lazed on bed and was late.. hence i avoided an accident.. haha.

i feels good.

forgive the broken english. but i feel with the emotion that i felt .. nothing can describe it better then shouting I FEELS GOOD. *please that note that the writer does not encourage the usage of broken english in anyway whatsoever, infact, the writer finds that people who speak broken english are a huge irritant and despices people of such. the writer shall grant you this one and only time to say ‘you bloody hypocrit’ to him at this given moment.

anyway, my car broke down a couple of days back, friday to be exact. and things at the office has been as hectic as ever, that’s due to the fact that i’m handling a very problematic account at work. so.. yeah my car couldn’t start on a friday morning, took a cab to work. i had to work on saturday as well so that very much rules out the chance of me to get the car fixed and my trusted workshop. come monday, all i could do was pay the darn 15 ringgit to get me to the office again.

SO… come 1800hrs. it was a bout time to leave, (i normally leave at 1845 - 1900hrs) i tried calling some cab services. and all refused to come pick me up because of the heavy traffic. kept calling till 1930 and still no luck.. which was when i decided that MAYBE i would consider walking home (which should be around an hours walk suppose. along some busy highways and what not*)

i think i only walked abt a kilometer before i saw a cab approaching. so i got on the right side of the road and hailed it. Unfortunately, a white dude beat me to it. (i think the dude was english or something from his accent). Whitey opened the door, enquired something then shut the door. looking all pissy. that was when i started feeling bad for whitey. ‘hmmm pity this guy, come all the way here and then no body wants to send him home’ but anyway .. i walked up to the cab opened the door and asked the driver

“Hi encik, dari sine ke XXX boleh tak??

(hello kind gentleman, is it possible for you to drive me and send me to xxx??)

“oh, you la yang telepon tadi, tadi i ke office you tunggu tapi takda orang..”

(Oh so you were the one who called for the cab earlier… i was at your office building waiting. I went round and round a couple of times, even stopped, got down and had a chat with the guard who was there. after some time chit chatting with the guard, he asked me ‘Hey. areyou here to pick up the guy and send him to XXX ? Oh, i saw him set off on foot!’)

“yea, saya yang telepon tadi. so boleh eh hantar saya balik?

(yes it was me who called..send me home bitch…)

at this point whitey walked up to me curious, of why the driver decided to let me in the cab. and i told him that i called for the cab earlier on. whitey looked frustrated, and i felt bad. i told whitey that its really hard to get a cab at these hours, and asked him if he wanted any numbers to call.

‘Oh yeah!! that would help alot. say do you speak the lingo here? i mean.. are you local in the country??’

‘yeah i’m local and yes i do speak the lingo here?’ (at this point i was contemplating why he was asking me if i was local. perhaps because he thought that with my immaculate english (writer blowing his horn again, this calls for some rotten cabbage and tomatoes.. please feel free to throw them at him at any point of time ) he must have thought that i wasn’t local.

‘anyway mate, i’de to help you, but the cabs blocking the way. Here’s the numbers that i said i’de give you. Its actually a newspaper cut out with all the cab numbers here’(my mom cut that out for me .. *blush*) I hope it serves u as much as it served me.

‘Cheers’ he replied.

i got home half an hour later. lazed around and started writing this. but now that i’ve gotten it down on paper, well virtually at least, i kinda feel sad that i didn’t just give him the cab. i could have walked home. i could have gotten someone to fetch me. instead, i left the white dude, alone, in the dark, lost, trying to call a few radio cab’s number while he doesn’t speak the local language. i’m a selfish prick. should have thought twice about feeling so great about giving him the paper cut out thinking it would help him. what an arse. i feels not so good nows.

kick me.

note.

the writers exxagerated on certain parts of his translation from bahasa melayu to english, just to give the reading material some added value. Under no circumstances should you ever use his translations for your own references when trying to translates stuff.
