Time to go home…?

While I was wandering with a friend in a pool center about his billiard supplies, the supplier came to me and asked “So, are you going to go home this mid-April?”.

At first I don’t know why he asked me to go home, until he said the word “State Election”.

To be honest, I haven’t register as a voter yet, and haven’t have the desire to do. Maybe the affection of all those political thing haven’t really reach me yet; maybe I will not be getting anything from voting yet, I don’t know.

But I like the term “Go home” though. Because I would love to see some improvement made in Sibu. But that remind me of… The Sibu drivers skill… When a horn is a deadly thing to press; when their father owned the road. The word “What’s the point?” came in… So… Yeah, I’ll be still sitting here doing the same thing I do everyday – Work!

Sibu, may not be my home anymore…

This time coming home feeling a bit strange. Like, it’s not my home anymore… Not about how boring it is…

I don’t find any productivity here in Sibu anymore, or maybe all this while.

Too many distraction in Sibu. From “tea time” to “Look at the dog“. Those gaming desktop computers were back here after my brother doesn’t want to stay at the house in Kuching. So there is my gaming zone as well.

That’s why I’m not planning to come back if possible already. At this age, I think I put my priority on my career first, then only my wife. Which is why last night was… Just a movie night. As long as I have a little time, I would rather take a rest than go full force on something doesn’t help my career.

Back in Puchong, real working hours were around 10 hours per day. Here in Sibu, 4 hours top, 6 hours miracle.

Appreciate the toilet

Who doesn’t use toilet? Even the old, they used to built a special one to call them a toilet. In Sibu, all those public toilets are… Really really in a helpless situation.

Public Toilet

From broken bowl to phone numbers to drawing. Maybe that is how we rocks the toilet.

Even though Sibu was promoted to have had the best toilet in Malaysia, one of it kind conceptualized public toilet and so and so. But none of those are really… Functioning.

Why?

Offensive greetings

Competitiveness, that’s the word I can use for fellow Chinese in Malaysia. Maybe not all, but in Sibu, it is definitely the best word to describe a Chinese here.

It is not because we all want to be competitive, but we don’t like to be offended for being… Too luxury, well, if you even understand that.

Greetings

Try one and you’ll see how Sibu Chinese works. Greeting like, “Wow, seems like you’re having a nice life here“, or a simple “Getting rich by the day eh?“, or sometimes, even “How do you do?” may be a very offensive questions. To defend themselves, only to put themselves into a smelly drain.

They’ll go, “Neh, making a hard living to meet end needs.“, “So, so, unlike you having a great car and etc.” or something similar, they will re-directed the questions back to you instead.

Perhaps, it is not about the questions, it is more about getting to know you than to let you know more about themselves. Either one will share it to you, or they will be offend when you question their life.

Come on, it’s Chinese New Year now. We all are good :)

The news came too quick, we reacted quickly too. So now I’m back home seeing all relative coming in and out, even the those elders I never see before.

Anyway, this Chinese New Year, is different already, and it’s good. At least I get to do something else at home :) Bought some fuente cigars back while in LCCT, thought to have some relaxing days here, but don’t think I will smoke that for now.

There will be another few more days before my wife will be here. So for now, with Chinese taboo stuff, I’ll be staying at home most of the time. That is when my jobs become my only companion :P Well, it’s good to see things still flowing…
