the uk-post-malaysia-syndrome
So im back with an update for the week as promised to my good friend. And then to be 'welcomed' by the new interface in blogger. Dont really like it honestly. Or probably i ll begin to like it as time goes by. U just need to get use to new things, arent u?
In regards to the holidays, i think i ve came up with a term called uk-post-malaysia-syndrome (if someone else could think of a better name for this, pls do tell me).. The symptoms and effects:
a) Speaking english-bm rojak in government departments or to locals
b) Leaving the cashiers without collecting ur change
c) Uncertainty in whether u locked ur car or where did u put ur car keys an hr ago
d) Being bewildered when u spot drivers failing to give way to pedestrians on the road
e) Tremendous shock when u witness how daring or creative ppl are in breaking rules and also bringing laughter to ppl of how obedient u are in abiding with the rules, such as paying 50 cents for parking even if it's just a short stop
f) As u glance thru the food menu, prices are mainly quoted in double digits. Then u ll begin to ponder, "Is inflation really so serious in malaysia?" But actually when u convert the pounds u spent in the poundland back to ringgit, hahahaha.. stil, things in england are still more expensive
g) Infamiliarity with roads and places, and even with ppl and friends
h) Partial loss of freedom (i think that's one of the main concerns for myself), but no more laundry, dishwashing, cooking =p
So, the remedies? Time. On a clear note, im not annoyed at all. Imagine how many times i ve been caught up with this syndrome in these years. It's just part and parcel of life. Just sharing on a sharing basis which i find it quite hilarious and interesting =D
