Story of a fish catcher

I was brought to a riverside that supposedly has a lot of fish.

They said sometimes the fish even jump out of the water, almost landing in the lap of man.

They said " I want you to fish these bountiful resources and you are to catch at least 5 a day!" 

I was then given a set of instructions and left standing at the riverside, scratching my head trying to understand how do I fish without equipment.

No fishing hook, no bait, no net, no bucket. No nothing. Just a set of instructions.

So I jumped into the water and try to grab a fish with my bare hands. 

Most swam away, some swam nearer then sped away. 

It's okay. I jumped out of the water, dug at the riverbank and pulled out few small worms.

Jumped back in with the worms, hoping that it can interest a few fish.

Managed to hold a few but then they swam away towards the other end of the river, where another catcher has something more attractive, a bait and a net.

Occasionally, someone was sent to me with more instructions or was asked to learn from another catcher. 

But it's not the same. They have a net and at another river where the fishes LOVED to jump on land. 

So they just throw the net into the river and waited for fish to be stuck to it.

And the end of the day, I was asked how many fish I managed to get.

"You can't even get one?! Are you not doing what I asked? What is so difficult in catching a fish in a river so full of them?"

Is it because I didn't fish?

It's like groping in the dark, hoping to at least grab something.

At the moment, I can still swim. But if I continue to jump in blindly, who knows I might drown one day?

How Long Does It Take For Books From The Book Depository To Reach Malaysia?

How Long Does It Take For Books From The Book Depository To Reach Malaysia? Update as of July 2023: Unfortunately, Book Depository has closed on 26th April 2023 😢 I love books and on average, I read about 1-2 books a month.  I'm not very fussy about the condition of books as long as I have exciting stories to read. And because books can be expensive, here are my go-to-places for cheap & affordable books: Bookxcess  - 1st hand, brand new books Booksnbobs - Quality, preloved books at affordable prices Carousel - for cheap, preloved books that I can't find elsewhere like this Babylon series Booksonthemove - Loved this initiative of book exchange!

Anyway, I just recently discovered The Book Depository , an online book store based in the UK and has a wide selection of books on topics I couldn't find here in Malaysia. I've always bee...

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.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Confession Of A Kaki Poret

  Poret didefinasikan sebagai bergosip, bercerita, berborak dalam bahasa Sarawak.  - Kamus sukasukajak So most would know that I spend my free time/ off days at the gym right? So now my colleagues never ask "What did you do on your off day?" instead they ask "Did you go to the gym yesterday?".  My colleague was horrified that I go the gym alone and asked "Tak kena kacau ke kat gym?" Helooo..orang2 di gym tu mana ada masa nak kacau orang. They are too busy admiring themselves/their muscles in the mirror.  What is so great about gym that I spend so much of my time there? Well, before i started working fulltime, i was a regular, hitting the gym 3-4 times a week. So regular that the front desk staff knew my name, made friends with few other regulars. So whenever I was there, I see familiar faces. So regular that after sometime I didn't go, the regulars would say "Hey..where have you been?"  Oh did i tell you this gym has quite a...
