the one with the long one and then some

this will be a log one...trust me....

the swine was on hiatus for too long....th swine is back with a vengeance. hahah..right..anyway whats new...well i hv a lot to tell......bt it depends whether i rajin or not to put it down here....first shoutout is to nadia di singapura, i didnt know i had readers, probably just u, n 2 others but anyway thanx!!! malu pon ade..how's erica? is she still sprawled on the couch with her big black eyes glued to the tv? erica, the biggest and most beautiful cat ive ever seen....big is beautiful anyway...this brings me to a story worth telling.........people, finally after almost 5 yrs of being (blissfully) together, i made my maiden trip to singapore with dydy...ok its not exactly maiden la...my 3rd trip actually...the second one being about 30 minutes apart from the third...ok the first trip was with my bro...a one day trip which was worth spent....it was a few mths back when we attended a cousin's wedding in jb....so kirenye that was when my passport loss its virginity....i was so proud when the immigration officer kasi 2 chop kepade passport ku...with 2 loud stomps its now well on its way to getting more cops....hopefully..insyaAllah...ok anyway the day got us going to sentosa island....we figured that takyah waste time at shopping malls so we went straight to sentosa island via mrt and cable car.....

bes dowh naik bende alah tu..that was my first time tuh...kire byk first time la time tuh....the cable car ride was fun....and it really proved how heavy we were..the cabin was actually swaying and tilting when we moved about...important note...if there are more than one fat passenger on board pls be seated evenly so d load can be distributed n u will avoid plunging a few hundred metres into d sea....i hv to say sentosa is eerily well managed....but its gud la...d transportation, attractions and tempat makan very bes lah...d highlight of d day was catching the pink dolphins on show......i felt like ditching quantity surveying n become a dolphin trainer instead..... pastu g jenjalan at raffles...wow the moment i stepped out from d mrt station i felt and said to myself 'owh begini rasenye di kota metropolitan'........sayang take note when we are already rich from siphoning someone's swiss bank account we go honeymooning kat fullerton kay........or we just buy that damn awesome hotel....tgk je mcm dh horny..hahahah....otw back we decided to take d train to avoid d jam.......ok our ktm is at tanjung pagar....its supposedly the only msian soil in sgpore...tp when we got there the state of the station was really sedih......the stains on the wall is the same ones since the 50s....msia should really pimp it up...jage air muke sket...ni mcm kesian.....i feel sorry for d station..mcm kene left out.........to say that its kept like that for heritage reasons mcm, atleast clean it up a bit la...ni mcm premis citer kelakar seram..

ok..moving on to the second trip......it was a study trip..actually i menyibok je..it wasnt my class per se...u see there are 2 elective subjcts this sem where we can choose to do only one..i chose property investment and valuation whereas the other one is international procurement...so obviously that class got to go somewhere...(at last)...but we all yg nyebok ni got more than we imagined........first of all the civil construction site we visited was by far the cleanest n safest u'll see...n we were treated so well n everyone was soo nice i swear i was teary eyed in my heart..hahah....pastu we had lunch at arab street at d famous restoran zam zam...makan byk gile nk mampos..beriyani, kambing, ayam goreng seketul sorang n murtabak..ok fast forward to shopping n later getting lost in orchard road...sorry guys for losing all of u....u cuak i pn cuak juge......pastu yg bes nye was our experience of almost being squished by a bus or a lorry....causeway at 9pm...traffic wasnt so bad.....but then suddenly d bus stopped halfway n people just got off...i thot ok they're in a rush n we werent.so tralalala.....skali mcm i was pushed/pulled to go down d bus as well...at first we were walking in a single file in d middle of d causeway ok....cars were whizzing really fast beside us..tu pon dh ngeri....so we got to the other side thinking its much safer.....well were we wrong.....we were walking sandwiched between buses and mixer trucks within a few inches je from our body..........at first both of them were stationary so ok lah....suddenly they started to move simultaneously n were picking up speed....time tu tayar bus memang sampai tinggi ketiak aku...n maner die nk nampak kiter dok jalan tepi dier....so we ran....i ran.for my life....smack in d middle of d causeway...neither was i in johor or sgpore........we could have been stateless n squished....alhamdulillah we were fine........this swine ran like a stallion..hahah....

upon reaching jb, dydy pon sampai juge...so we met up 15 mins later, got my stuff and i was back where it all just ended for my second trip to spore...this time i was driving...i had to drive their car into spore....thank goodness no more catching trains n rushing for buses....tapi i tell u, i was extremely tired gile....we walked for miles earlier on..from 7 am till 930 pm....when we got back eventually at 2 am, my legs mcm nk tercabut n my back felt like it cracked in 12 places....call me an exaggerator tp memang mcm tu aku rase.......second day in sgpore was spent shopping again at orchard road......the sale there is definitely better than kl......bought 2 pairs of shoes..i love love love.....that nite the cousins wanted to catch d fireworks....derang pon baru lepas merdeka time tu...so yeah,so more back breaking walks transpired.......never in my life was i apart of such massive sea of people............nasib baik boleh tahan...any claustrophobic person can die one la.....d fireworks were fantastic..some more tgk with sweetness so quadruple d fun la....pastu makan wit cousins (his, hehe) n balik n again i felt my limbs aching to the core...3rd day in sgpore attended dydy's fren from ns kawen....i got my first taste of kawen-bwh-block-n-makan-style-boyan-masak..........omigoz sedap gile swine ah kan......i makan tk ingat dunia.........ok another note abt sgporeans..........they are not fat.....ive yet to see any fat pl there...u knw why?they cant eat on public transportations n they walk around to everywhere n anywhere!!!!!!!! i felt really out of place there sometimes......u can say im d fattest among his cousins or cousin's gfs........heheh....doesnt help that pegi sane makan saje..."suraya must eat this,dont hv in kl"...aku pon ape lagi, have ke dont have ke in kl i ate everything in a heartbeat.......ahahah....met up with so many of his wonderful family members...felt rite at home with everybody....thank u so much....insyaAllah ade rezeki ill come down again for sure one....

this is my ode to merdeka....sans the part where ade pasal robbie williams of course

my culture

When I look back over the years at the
Things that bring tears to my eyes
Poppa said we had to be wise to live long lives
Now I recognise what my father said before he died
Vocalised things I left unsaid
Left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family where I can be strong
For you I plan to be
Within me, my ancestry, giving me continuity

This is what my daddy told me
I wish he would hold me a little more than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame the blood in my veins
And bring pain to my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place
I'll make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again

Hello Dad remember me
I'm the man you'd thought I'd never be
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I've been lonely for 27 years
Yeah that's right my name's Rob
I'm the one who landed the popstar's job
I'm the one who you told look don't touch
I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much

I believe in the senses sight and sound
I have always been too loud
Won't you help me drown it out

I'm what I feel, what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a mass of spinning wheels
Always digging in my heels
Now I've got the faith to

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again

This is what my daddy told me
I wish he would hold me a little more than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame the blood in my veins
And bring pain to my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place
I'll make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again

(For my culture)

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm waters
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
