not so boring things about the boring, blur me

        There’s just one thing that annoys me… and that is Malaysians constantly complain about the level of cleanliness in the country.. But i have one thing to tell some of these complain kings and queens: Don’t complain when you yourselves litter the country with thrash like birds throwing their poop around..

     One such example is well.. my family.. not me though.. From a young age, we were taught that throwing rubbish is wrong.. right? no shades of brown here.. it’s plainly green and red. (for those who don’t understand, please read my past post)

     What i DO NOT understand is why my mom scolds me for holding the empty Yeo’s Teh Bunga Kekwa box around. Erm.. this happened a long time ago, untill I finally found the courage to give her a piece of my mind concerning thrash..

     Yeapz.. lots of parents do this, right? admit it.. Not only my mom.. We get scolded for trying to keep the country clean, by holding onto thrash untill we find a tharsh bin.

     BUT when we go into Singapore.. We get scolded by our parents for littering their grounds! WHAT?! It’s right to litter in Malaysia, but it’s wrong to litter in Singapore? What lesson are our parents trying to teach us? That we should respect rules of other countries, but ignore our very own Malaysian rules?!

     Now this is the mindset of Singaporeans.. at least Singaporeans that i’ve seen.. which are my relatives.. These are things that i’ve heard and seen.

     Case 1: My aunts from Singapore taught their children this. "Wo men jai Malaysia.. ni shou shang na ke la ji ke yi tiu de.. bu yong jao la ji tong. Meaning? We’re in Malaysia. The thrash in your hands can be thrown away.. You don’t have to look for a thrash bin..

     Case 2: Ni men yao diu la ji, jiu kuai kuai diu.. Malaysia bu hui jua ni de.. hui chu Singapore, bu ke yi luan luan diu la ji liao hor.. Meaning? If you people want to throw your rubbish, throw it quick. You won’t get caught for littering in Malaysia. But when you return to Singapore, you cannot do this anymore..

     It is no wonder why ppl in JB (Johor Bahru) have this saying: Half of the thrash you see on the roads are contributed by Singaporeans. Hmm.. Well.. it’s a little exagerated.. but well..  you get the meaning.

     And on the highways.. you’ll see 90% of Singapore cars speeding like they’re trying to break the current speed record. Well..  they buy their expensive cars, but can’t use their car’s potential to the fullest.. where else to flaunt their babies but Malaysia’s highways? My uncle said this to my mom.."hahahaha.. Wo men ar.. chong Singapore lai ar.. ru guo yao chong leh, jiu shou ji jang wu shi kuai zhi jai men de pang bian de pocket.." Meaning? hahahaha.. We ar.. from Singapore ar.. If want to speed leh, we keep a few RM 50 notes at the door’s pocket.. Why keep RM 50? erm.. why else.. heard of Coffee Money? hmm… To them.. RM 50 is less than $s 25.. so? To them it’s nothing.. so? LET’S FLY…

     And the last thing.. is.. well.. Chewing gums!! ok, they don’t throw chewing gums around.. but just to inform those who don’t know.. Singapore is sadly deprived of chewing gums.. chewing gums are banned in Singapore, and only obtainable through the dentist, if you have some kind of dental problem. SO, the moment my cousins step unto Malaysian soil, the first snack they’ll ask for is.. well.. chewing gums.. BUt luckily, they do not throw them around.. if not? I’m sure to use a Ha Dou Ken, followed by a Shin-ryuu Ken. While they’re in the air, i charge my Kamehameha and blast them with it, sending them to a planet called, Chewing Gum land…

     Well, these are experiences that i’ve had with my Singaporean relatives.. AND am not saying that All Singaporeans do that.. only… erm.. according to my Singaporean relatives, majority of them do so.. I’ll leave the judgment up to you peepz..

     Lastly, to all Malaysians.. IF YOU DO NOT KEEP YOUR COUNTRY CLEAN, WHO WILL!!!
