The Truth About Sarawak

Hahaha… Must be wondering what is the truth about Sarawak right? You know I had this conversation with a net friend from Penang on MSN the other day and I really don’t know to kek si(angry till die) or to chio si(laugh till die).

He: Eh! Are you near to Labuan?
Me: Hmmm… It’s up, up, up there. I have to fly all the way there, you say near or not? It’s in Sabah.
He: Sabah? You not in Sabah meh? You told me before you are in Kuching.
Me: Yes, I’m from Kuching but I’m not from Sabah and I had never set my foot there till now. Since when I said I’m from Sabah?
He: Kuching not in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah meh?
Me: *almost fall down from chair* ~.~” Nooo… Kuching is in Sarawak.

I’m sure many East Malaysians ever encounter this sort of conversation before. Very classic one… This leads me to the tag that Monkey tagged. Actually it started by Clare.

It’s just for fun ok? Don’t get upset by it. You think we are not upset when you asked us questions like this? We did but since it’s a never ending story so we think it’s better to play along rather than getting upset since high blood pressure cases are increasing nowadays we better don’t let it shoot too high.

Q: Oh, you are from Sarawak! *eyes wide with excitement* So far away! How you people come here ah?
A: Fly here of course.

Q: Plane? Got airport?
A: You don’t know we have our own helicopters? We have our own helipads and hanger at home also.

Q: You guys not living in jungle/or trees meh?
A: We live in jungle but don’t live on trees. We do not need to live on tree because we have many lands. Trees are only for those that don’t have any land.

Q: Got Internet?
A: Got. We use wireless one, super duper fast from satelite one. Else how we update blog? How you think Kenny Sia can be so popular?

Q: Got Astro?
A: Astro? No need lar, we have free satelite TV! Uncensorred one summore from all over the world. Why pay so much money for Astro?

Q: Water there clean or not?
A: Clean, crystal clear, we don’t need to spend money to install filter at all.

A: You not scare I chop off your head now?

Ok… Done. These are all I can think of. I’m sure you(East Malaysians) also encounter quite a lot. Take this tag if you want. The questions do not necessary be the same as mine, you can add in new ones. By the way, please track back as I want to read about what you write also.
