Weekend Wake-Up

Learned a thing or two this weekend about other people, their homes, as well as the subtle differences in culture and family upbringing. Will share. Just so we all learn together, move forward together, and achieve Wawasan 2020 together.


*1 Malaysia spirit*

*mock patriotism*

*snicker*

But seriously, I learned that:


1. One really old man's birthday is a way bigger deal than the Father's Day celebration of five fathers. Or maybe everyone just forgot the latter. =p *offering benefit of the doubt*

2. Birthday cakes, birthday candles, birthday songs and birthday ang pows are good-to-have birthday items no matter how old you are. =)

3. Weird-looking cakes sometimes do taste nice. So, never judge a pandan cake by its sickly shade of green.

4. There are people who actually consider fish – longkang guppies, specifically – as dispensable creatures that are not worthy of responsible and humane treatment. *disgusted*

5. Family makes the worst enemies. But only cos they know the real you best. Meaning, they know exactly where to hit you where it hurts.

6. Having kids is no joking matter. When to have them is another non-joking matter.

7. A little extra noise for a little while is okay. Lots of unnecessary noise for prolonged periods is just unbearable torture.

8. A life without air-con and hot water is a life not worth living.

9. Sleeping in beds others have slept in is just disgusting and unhygienic. Sharing used pillows is worse. Just imagine how much dead skin cells and dandruff you're getting comfy in. *grossed out* Surprisingly, some people don't seem to mind. @_@

10. There is no point of having doors in a house if nobody respects the fact that they are there for a reason: To be closed and locked at will. Also useless if nobody understands that a closed door should always be knocked, while a locked door just means, "Go. Away."
