23-11-09 (Monday) "1Malaysia"

Finally... Home... Its been... 40 weeks and 6 days...

I'm glad to be back.

Back to the land of squatting toilets.

Missing those corridors actually...
Back to having to pay for entry to toilets in public areas.

To undrinkable tap water.

To where the colours of the birds around are just limited to black or brown.

To where the coins aren't so massive they tear the coin compartment in my wallet apart every. single. time.

Back to having fixed time. The hours don't change every half a year.

To where practically everyone speaks at least 2 languages and many speak 3 or more languages (including dialects), not to mention the dozen dialects that're spoken all over the place.

To where we don't bother with proper English. We somehow understand broken English better. Better yet... Throw in all the other languages/dialects/expl*tives to make it clearer.
"Eh, this one you sure boleh ah? Cannot simply one, you know. You say one ah? Cincai la..."

"&^!#(^!$"
To the place where there are 2 options to cleaning up after some massive bodily disposal in the toilet. Its tissues or water hoses with high pressured water. "Brrrr...."

It just feels awesome to be back home after all this while...

"This is 1Malaysia."
... And for more than this one reason... ;)
