Merry X`mas

I going back hometown (Jawi, Penang) tmr ^^ 1 month plus never go back liao. Bought the ticket last week, to Kulim (a town in Kedah, Malaysia), and the Plusliner bus will turn out from the highway Jawi toll, and use old road to Kulim, then I will ask the driver to drop me at Jawi, just 3 minutes away from my house.

Cannot always go back, cos the knn ticket is fucking expensive now, last year I remember still RM21.70, now already RM25.70, to and fro already RM50++, and have to sit on the bus 5 hours, sit until kah ch’ng kuk oso pain. But sometimes miss home and parents, still have to go back, this one called kia hao ok? =x

I take 10am bus, should be reaching Jawi at around 3pm, already called ck (my hometown best fren), ask him to stop working and go eat laksa with me at 4pm, very long never eat “laksa kau” laksa already, very nice one u know!!

And I will celebrate Christmas and Christmas Eve in Jawi, then come back KL on Monday 26 Dec 2005 afternoon, cos have to go back to the knn office the next day. I think will meet up some secondary school friends and lim teh with them.

Last Sunday (18 Dec 2005) I went to Sungakai, Perak. Sungkai is located in Perak, Perak is located in Malaysia.

Actually I follow gf back to her hometown (kena force a bit only go one), well, I was a little surprise with this short trip, I thought I will just feel bored and sitting at home. We depart from KL at 3pm++ and reach there at about 5pm. There’s nothing in the house, and she decided go out yau cheh hor (go around and waste petrol) with her cousin. I follow la then.

This is first time I go to Sungkai, lookalike like my hometown Jawi, kampung kampung feeling, feel like going back hometown.

However, Sungkai is more special than the ordinary kampung.. I think most of you saw orang asli (native/indigenous) and their village in geography class during secondary school, but I saw it in Sungkai leh! They’re staying somewhere near to the mountain, and waterfall. I saw quite a few native villages there.

Their abode…

Their house pretty small I guess (I din enter), but nvm mah, since they spend most of the time in outdoor activities, plantation, playing, building new house etc. Not like us, can stay at home watch tv and online (that’s the reason why we can stay at home). When I go into their territory, mobile phone (Maxis) oso no signal, I think it is dangerous if go alone, better go with a group of leng lui. They’re actually not that ‘asli’ anymore, not that sua pa like wad we studied in text book 10++ years ago.. I even see some of them got motorbike one ok? luckily they dun hav car, if not sure they oso can chao ciah like we see in initial D liddat, cos all those mountain road.

When you think about orang asli, what would u think? naked? bo ceng sah, can see their neh neh and running around? lu ki lan.. wrong ok? they wear properly like us, but you may recognise them from their eyes (look at you like you’re their enemy), curly hair, and skin, when they saw outsiders like us go in to their ‘territory’ (it is like jungle like that, with a small path go straight), they will just look at you. Like how you go to zoo and look at those animals.

Another thing I notice is, the native dogs (dogs oso got native one or not? I dunno cos geography teacher never mention that leh) in their village oso very special one, all very skinny, not like the dogs that you see in KL or even in our hometown.

We actually driving towards to the waterfall, before I reach the waterfall, this is what I could imagine and expect to see:

But, I see this one when I reached the destination:

Aiya.. dun care la.. take photo first.

Anyway it is still a very beautiful scenery, got family camping at there too. I oso snap quite a few photos using mobile phone (I dun hav a digital camera :( ) and a few short video clips.

On the way to the waterfall

Native kids looking at the leng luis in our car see their notty hand

Dun forget this.. I saw Banjaran Titiwangsa (Titiwangsa Mountain) (which I studied in geography book oso) in Sungkai

Actually I still got few more nice photos but very pin tua to resize it liao haha, kanneneh, it is 1am again!
