Thong Kai & Elva

see this dude in the middle? mr tan thong kai.

that's one of my new friends. lives in solok mahkota. met him four years back when i followed my cousin to his home. been my bak kut teh buddy in klang ever since.

he's eighteen now and very much into computers. goes by the nick of botakai. he even started his own forum two months back using phpbb2 plus 1.52.

did i mention he has a cute cousin?


oh yeah... the people around him: ray, han chun and elva. i have no idea who they are.

endless raub

i spent my infancy at raub, pahang. just round the corner is bentong. raub is a lot nicer cause there are fewer people.

there are no local delicacies in raub. neither is there anything nice to eat in bentong. might as well add kuala lipis to the list. all hopeless. the only thing people talk about in raub is the sempalit chicken. whatever, can't have that to eat everyday right? so if no one at home is good in the kitchen, you'll be crying.

other than that, the surroundings in raub are wonderful; even when the communist were still roaming the countryside.

nice cool air to sleep in; not so comfortable with the loud crickets and toads. it seems the amount of noise made by the crickets vary with the temperature; the warmer it is the higher the frequency. so why are they annoying with the cool air at raub? it's not the rate they chirp, it's the sheer number of them that drives a person unaccustomed to the cacophony insane. the toads add an irregular beat which sounds so annoying. just like listening to britney spears.

raub... endless.

dinner at westin

so the wedding dinner was okay. the food so-so. the bridesmaid beautiful. the bride... oh yeah... it's her wedding right? yeah she was okay.

met a nice girl there. photos coming in umm... well they usually take months to come so in a while the photos will be plastered around here.

for our friend's gain

we ought to ask oneself why we tell others about something.

i have heard many things that are totally wrong because people have bad memories, they do not have the capability to understand something so they misunderstood something, they are partly deaf and can't catch what people say correctly, or they are too busy listening to themselves.

i really enjoy our rare debates but you don't know the other debates i've had with others who believe they know more than they do.

so what is it that makes people talk? just to have something to say even if it's nonsense and gossip that may harm others or put them in a bad light?

a good reason to tell something to our friends is for their gain. pass them knowledge that will be useful to them or even if it's not useful can help unleash a new way of thinking and looking at things for them. if you do something good for your friends, you will ultimately gain as well since mixing with smart people will make oneself smarter. it just keeps the ball rolling in the right direction.

... and this is part of what love is.
