Bro, let me help you with that!

An insight of Malaysian Traffics
I've always fascinated by all the passer by who would help somebody stranger in the middle of the road. i mean, where do they have the time to stop and give a helping hand to somebody else who has just met in an accident on the road. and, I've got to tell you guys, Malaysians are master in doing such!

i mean they will really stop in the middle of the rush hour, to do something good! and, if you brought racism into this, saying that that fellow wont stop and help people because he's from different races and all. go to hell man! racism is down in the drain in Malaysia, well, a big part of it. because some racist buggers still linger around in Malaysia!

a story of mine then, do you'll know the bike that consumes the least amount of petrol?? it's the bike that i ride to work! Modenas Kriss, ever heard of it?? it's this old bike from the 2003 i think, it's slow, i can see cars and other bikes passing me and my reaction would be like :

Modenas Kriss 2
              "Dudeeee, where are you going??" Because when traffic starts to get congested in Malaysia, we Malaysian Bikers have our own wayy of getting over it. We literally go through the traffic! And i would be giving the weirdest smile ever to the people who was going pass me so fast in their cars while they're sitting in their car with their air conditioner turned on! In you face car driver!!!!! hahahaha! Going through the traffics is much fun! Just going left and right and honing at dumb drivers! you know, it's fun.

This doesnt make sense, but it looked cool. right?

And that's about my bike, it's light, easy, cheap! BUT even with all these awesome stuffs, i ran out of gas one day! can you imagine, i finished my work, and i was jumping up and down to the fact that I'm going back home! but, my bike had just to stop in the middle of the road because it ran out of gas! I'll tell, it's the worst feeling ever! not the worst, i thought it could be some workout sessions for me to push the bike all the way to a petrol station of some 700 metres away! 700 metresss!!!! thank god a traffic police guy was around to show me the wayy.
i was pushing like this guy here


After I've pushed for like some 300 metres, i was practically bathing in sweat! seriously! And here is where the story gets it's name from. A guy, a random guy, in a bike just stopped beside me and asked :

         "Bang, minyak habis keh? mai saya tolak" Which means, "Bro, out of gas? I'll push you to the station"

Pushing in a sense that he'll place his foot on my pedal and push it with his bike. I first said, "Bro, it's alright, I'm getting closer already". But that guy refused, he insisted he want to help me! My heart was in a winter season all of a sudden, OMG, does people like this still exist? Let alone in Malaysia! He pushed me to the station and i thought of buying him a can of red bull, but he just went of waving his hands to me! I mean, this guy is legendary for me! He's this really simple mechanic by the looks i would say, but, that doesn't matter at all. He's a Malay, and I'm an Indian, but he didn't care about races all, he just wanted to help this fellow who was pushing his bike to the petrol station! It's awesome to see these kind of people ! Seriously. Malaysia is a blended society of different races, more like a traditional Malaysian food called "rojak". It's good to be here!

Malacca's Food! Super Awesome!

 For the first time in my life, i went to a place knowing so little about it. Malacca. Jonker Street!
This is the one street that you guys should never ever eveeeer miss! It's pure classic! trust me!
Jonker Street Entrance!
Chicken Rice Balls! Rice Balls in the size of golf balls!
The choice of foods you can get here is simply awesome. Chicken rice balls, chendol, some crazzzy traditional sweets and tons of awesome stuffs. Old and antics stuffs is quite of the normal around this place. The was this shop called "beyond treasures" i think. The whole shop was filled with crazy old masks! all sorts of masks you can get anywhere. and the thing is, the price is quite reasonable too! those masks still haunts me now. damn. Ever been to Petaling Street or Chinatown in KL. The choices here in Jonker Street could match that of Petaling Street, the mother of all night markets!
And i've got to tell about the "CHENDOL" ! They're were super awesome. I bought'em a couple of times and i wasnt satisfied! Bt man, the taste of it is something else. You KL people would have never tasted that kind of chendol anywhere before. The jonker street start at about 6pm. And the initiation part is a interesting one. You will see cars squeezing through the tight spaces between people on the walks. People setting up their ancient old stores with some of them preparing fresh ingredients like mangoes and oranges for their fresh juices. Dragon Fruit juice was great!

Gula Melaka Chendol! Tastes Awesome!
The Bizzare Andrew Zimmern part! I had this tiny baby crabs! They were whole, with their snappers and legs still intact. Dipped in some kinda batter and fried right away! And you have just got to dip them in a spicy hot sauce and eat'em! You can find this stall at the entry point of the jonker street beside a big stage where you can see people performing.

Steam Goodness! Pork Balls and alot more!
It's really worth it !
Manicuring in KL is like 50 or 60 i've heard. My sister got her manicure here for 25bucks! RINGGIT MALAYSIA! It was pretty! And the girl took so much of time and made her nails look like a million bucks! I bet you girls would wanna get some pretty nail polish with something out of the order type? They were really nice, serious!

What else, food, drinks, old and antics. arrr!!, the river cruise. Well, i didnt go for a river cruise, but we had a walk on the pedestrian walk prepared along the river. We can get a feel of walking in Italy itself. Well, maybe not Italy, maybe a simpler Malaysian version! And the settings are perfect for pictures! Make sure you got your dslrs charged and start snapping! Occasionally you'll get to see some boats cruising along the river. Although im not sure what river it is. hmm, it got to be SUNGAI MELAKA! haha.yeap, i just googled it.





It's known to be the best carrot/radish cake in town!

So, Malacca is a great town to go. For it's food and antics. And you have the perfect settings for a perfect shot from your dslrs! Make sure you try their famous chendols! Taking the North-South Highway from Kuala Lumpur will cause you about rm50 for petrol and Rm 16.50 for toll! another rm16.50 on the way back. Have fun guys! Malacca is awesome! cheers!

Last Minute Revision Does HELP!

 Well, to be true i never liked the idea of going to school to study. I rather go to see my friends and to spend time with them. I'm sure I'm not all alone in this. Some of you guys also would have done the same thing. Right? haha. It was like the best time ever in my life. Going to school to see them. Seriously, failing the exams wasn't a big deal for me when my friends failed together with me! haha. But in the end, we pulled through with a decent results. How to put it, hmmm, we studied when it was necessary i guess. I've got to tell you, those last minute studies we did was the most thrilling moments ever! Going through all the syllabus and making our own fortune telling by marking what might be asked in the exams and how to "tackle" them! haha. As hard it was, it was fun too! My friends were really the best ever guys you can find. Being with them made my day every time. They can make jokes out of the most random thing. And we weren't the bad students in the school. We were just being mischievous and having fun like the world's gonna end the next day. One of my friend, Ray was the noisiest among the bunch.

Ray- he's a guy where when you stare at him, he will start mocking you. This doesn't make sense i know. But, he's like the mocking legend in my class! Teachers will have a hard time handling this one fellow. What more can they get when they try to handle the whole class. As far as i remember, 5 teachers went running out the classroom with tears down their faces! And i was absent to school for 50+ days. Maybe the numbers of teachers might be higher. haha. Even i have made a teacher cry. It's not something to be proud of i know. But, it was just the most random thing ever. She was complaining about me taking so many leaves to my dad, bt he kept smiling. When she asked if im having any trouble back in the house, he kept smiling. When she told this has got to stop now, my dad kept smiling! And that made my teacher's tear sacks to break loose! This made the whole class to get amazed how a smiling pair of father and son can make a bold and strict teacher to cry just like that! hahaha. And back to this guy Ray, as i told you, he's the strangest as you can get. And he had a friend called Dev, these guys were "married". Yea, married! I think the wedding took place in our school canteen, im not sure about that. Dev was the wife. Tall, fair and slim wife. They would sit on each others laps and address each other "husband","wife" and "dear". Dev was a very bright student. He's good in sports and exceptional in academics. He was like the candle to Ray's last minute revision. Together, they would be at the most random places around the school and studying. Dev will spend so much of time to stuff all the bits of knowledge in Ray's head. Ray's a fast learner i've got to say. He passed the exams with flying colours! The exam was Spm! People might say last minute study doesn't help you much with your exams. But, put away all of that to the farthest corner you can find. It does help to get you good grades! It definitely helped me!

Being Together without racism is AWESOME!

It's interesting to notice that a person who's being so lovable, could one day turn against another. The ones who were notoriously known, would sometimes be the ones who will help. We can be racist and talk trash about others. But guys, you've got to understand one thing. People comes in many different gift wrappers. IT'S ALL DIFFERENT ON THE OUTSIDE, but we're all the same on the inside. We're all human beings. It's like a stupid statement to say that racism doesnt exist in the world now. It does unfortunately. But, it's always being overshadowed by the liberal thinking of the people. Numbers wins. It's the minority who all opting for the whole racism issues. Those ******* people i would say. Be free guys, this world is not made for you alone. It's for all to share and having to fight for our rights is making things even worse now. The Mayans might have not been right with the whole doomsday prophecy, but one thing is for sure. We are creating our own path towards doom if we're all acting racist.

And, I have just got to tell a story about my country, MALAYSIA.

It's the best place ever to be if you ask me. It's a multiracial country which thrives on the love for street food! Using this food culture alone, our multiracial society could be told. For a starter, our Malay people came up with "nasi lemak" or coconut rice. It's this fragrant rice cooked with coconut milk and "pandan" leaves. Served with a spicy sauce or preferably known as "sambal". You can find bits of onions and anchovies in this "sambal". And a whole loads of chili seeds! Together with a fried egg and cucumber bits. I know, it's nothing much. But, trust me. The simplicity is the best part of it. It tastes so good that we Malaysians have it throughout the day, for breakfast,lunch and dinner! It's that tasty! Next we go to the foods made by Indians in Malaysia. Indians are famous for their fried foods like thosai, roti canai and papadam! They are usually accompanied by spicy and tasty curries like "sambar", chicken curry and chutney. The thing about the Indian's food is the number variety of them. Take thosai for a moment, you got plain, rava, masala, butter, egg and a whole lots of types which i might never know! You can even see Indian selling "nasi lemak" in their own ways. I do prefer the Malay people's "nasi lemak" though. haha. And now for the best food of them all, Chinese food! I've got to tell you all, these guys are the best ever. They make delicious food effortlessly in the blink of an eye! Char Keow Teow will show you the way to the heavens! You can even find the Malay version of the char keow teow. Chinese have shown some liking for the Indians curry and made their own Curry Mee. They're all delicious!


And being together is awesome! Especially when you can get these types of fusion foods! I love Malaysia for it's MALAYSIAN LIFE and the awesome people who can thinking the same way as i do. As for the first blog, that's it i guess. More words straight from my thought will people be revealed! I am a MALAYSIAN! CHEERS!
