Met up with long time buddies Han Wen & Tony for a simple dinner last night. Thankful to be spared from the usual Hartz buffer get together; my gut's still bloated from my colleague, Li Jie's farewell feast the night before.
Mates from the good 'ol school days. uh, the gaban like pose? don't bother asking... what's 'in' today could very well be tomorrow's laughing stock.
Bid goodbyes & parted ways after form 6, eons ago. Memories from those short 2 years were by far the best throughout my schooling years
Got my degree, landed myself a challengingcrappy job, they too got their educator's license...
A guaranteed secure job that awaits you, how does that sound? Good, if you don't mind getting shipped to the furthest corner & deepest remote parts of the S'wak. Sure, scares the sh^t out of me. Why?
1. no PSP, no PS2 , no PC (generator power supply sucks)
2. no internet (coz no PC except the only one linked to the outside world in the village library)
3. no NTV7 or Hitz.fm, the only channel you get is RTM1,2 & radio 4,
4. lights out after 6 (generators don't run 24-7)
5. meal always consisting of ubi keledek, paku, midin, cangkuk manis & the occasional roast babi hutan
6. making calls via hp is a complex affair, climbing up to the roof to get as close to the radio/tv antenna for coverage or running to the pier down stream is a must
7.the closest town is 1/2 boat ride away...
8. no more movie-nites, no lim teh sessions, no fancy dine outs, friday nite clubbings replaced by tuak session at your local long house hosted by the tuai rumah
9. no chicks to ogle at... except for the noisy ones in the barn
... for the next 6 - 9 years. Tiuu... jialat! Though, my buddies seems to be holding up fine. Living a much simpler, calmer & healthier life being closer to nature. Can save up a gold mine too - coz no more friday night chivas/vodka, 0 petrol expenditure coz your VTEC fuel guzzler sits at home 200kms away, you don't have a gf coz there is virtually no kang tao in your local village.
A noble profession that takes a different kind of toughness to answer the calling. Respect!
Not my cup of tea though; if i'd were to swap places with you guys, i'd probably die from boredom by the 2nd day. & i hate kids too.
