*Epiphany*

A sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something. Hmmm...since being *down south i've had 'a sudden realization' of many things...and i've been only here for almost 2 months...so here's the list...or the more obvious things i've realized...

1. It's not always clean here...

2. You know you're truly m'sian when you reach into your pockets at the end of the day and find a whole lot of garbage. Cause apparently you get fined and sent for corrective action.

3. You know you aren't local when you're the only one NOT using headphones/playing a psp/playing an iphone when you're taking the public transport.

4. You realize it only takes 30 minutes to get from one end to the other -____-. Traffic jams are apparently being stuck in the same spot for 5 minutes. Anything above that time limit is a national catastrophe.

5. Apparently taxi cab drivers here are expert political advisors/critics that hate the current ruling goverment but at the end of the day they still vote for the same government.

6. You know you're m'sian when it's green to cross the road but you're the only idiot looking both sides to see if it's safe to cross yet.

7. No FUCKING MAMAK!!!

8. You realize how much you miss proper m'sian food when you head back home and you just gorge yourself until you puke then gorge yourself all over again. Then get stuck in an infinite loop of eating and puking until it's time to board the plane back.

9. They line up for everything.EVERYTHING.urgh.

10. They block torrent sites.KNNCCB!!!btw P2P is illegal...WTF?

11. One for the road. They're freaking workaholics but the money is good.

*PS: the name of the country i currently am in has been omitted to protect me for being charge under any weird rules/regulations they have. hmmm come to think of it. do i have any *down south friends...?
