Just want to share about the fucked up thing that Kuching people including me practise all the time. May be not all or may be not everyone, or may be it's just me and some of you and some of those below;
1. When they want to go for an appointment with their friends and they were late - they will say, "I'll be there in 5 minutes" while they are still somewhere 30 minutes away... - Friends can wait. May be light up a cigarette or two. By the time you arrive, you friend might be dead due to lung cancer.
2. Their boss went outstation for a meeting - means business. But for them, it means partayyyy! This is sooo righteous. Everybody should have 'freedom' at their work place. But beware of moles.
3. They wouldn't give way to people who wants to get in their lane in the traffic jam - they will start to curse if the person managed to get into their lane. Just a guilty pleasure thing. "Cucuk jak bang... Nyaman palak sidak skati-skati jak masuk jalan kita".
4. They buy not one, not two but three or four cars! Parking place? No problem, just squeeze it by the roadside or hey, just park it in front of the neighbour's house - they only got Kancil and Kelisa, sure go out no problem one... - Fuck You! What if I hit your car when reverse?.. sure I'm going to pay.
5. Giving direction is another thing; "Pick me up at my house at Rubber Road West". - I would verbally show my middle finger to those who give me such direction. Just imagine, for example; Rubber Road West itself has so many lanes and divided into so many junctions. So what can we do? We say back to them, "Alright, pick you up somewhere in the future or after I finished the whole chapter on Rubber Road West and the Junctions".
6. Driving 20-40km/h is one of their major specialty! We wouldn't mind if you drive that speed at 12 midnight. But please la... DON'T DRIVE THAT WAY DURING RUSH HOUR! We know that you have no where to go and what's not, but please don't act like the road is your dad's. Everybody pays their road tax too bah... Either you go faster or don't even bother to go out at all.
7. They love to spend on branded goods such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada and they only work as cashier at some supermarket. THEY ARE WELL PAID!
8. We are aware of "Don't Drink & Drive" campaign. But in this case... they drink, smash the bottle on the road, then they drive.
9. Try to wear slippers, worn out tee and a short pants to some of The Spring's outlets... the sales person wouldn't even bother to look at you. Wear some nice Hush Puppies Polo Tee and Quiksilver pants, they will follow you all around the shop and will try the best to make sure you buy more... commission maa.
10. When it comes to celebrate some festive, they don't really care what time to play the firecrackers - 1.00am? no problem... take the lighter and fire away. There goes the car alarm, the house alarm, the dogs barking, plane passing by and baby crying. - this is what we call stupidity. Have some respect and consideration. Not everyone enjoys your firecrackers at 1.00am. We need to sleep too ok.
Alright. I guess that wraps up the post. Sorry no fancy pictures this time.
