Peaceful, unassuming village life you say?

Ahli Mesyuarat Tingkap

When someone mentioned about village life, we think of friendly, kind and helpful people or peaceful and stress-free life. When we mentioned city life, we thought people are rude, selfish and life is too fast-paced and stressful. It used to be like that but not anymore. I’m an observant person and people told me stories. Over the years, I have concluded that it is definitely bad for the mental to be living in the village.

You would think people are generally more materialistic in the city but those in the village are worse. The first thing they ask if someone wants to be their son in law is “What is his job? How much he earned? Does he have a house, a car and if he does what kind of car?” Somehow they don’t think kindness, responsible or being hard-working is important. Families quarrel over money. All they talked about is money.

Competition is also fiercer in the village. Usually about whose house or car is bigger. Those with small, unfurnished house with no latest plasma TV or fridge will be ridiculed and talked about. When a neighbour or a relative got new flashy furniture, they feel they need to compete and upstage their neighbour, even if they can barely afford it.

Speaking about competition, they also like to compete whose children got married first and it’s almost like an honour to be a grandparent at a younger age than other neighbour/relatives. It’s a shame to have unmarried children over the age of 20.

“How old are your children? Why are they not married yet? I’m only 45 and already a grandparent!”

What they didn't tell was their children can barely support themselves so these proud grandparents need to work their ass off to support both their children and their grandchildren. Their idea of nice retirement I guess.

Some of them have this sense of entitlement. They feel people owe them something. If people are more successful or richer, they'll say, "If it's not because of me/my parents who helped them when they are in need, they would not be where they are right now." or if someone did not invite them for a wedding, they'll say "lupa saudara".

Somehow those in the village also tend to be more nosy, judgemental and vicious-mouthed. They see a girl with different guys and concluded that she is a slut. Someone quiet and shy is a pretentious snob. Their life is probably too mundane and unstimulating that they feel the need to spread lies, gossip and talk bad about others.

I’m not saying all villages are the same nor all of them are like what I mentioned. These are just stories from my side. How about your villagers/village you came from?

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan?

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE . So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed. Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket. Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island. We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island. They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us, then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants. I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date. Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date. 1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression. You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine. No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour. Use cologn...
