Loan Application Nightmare!

Oni wat ogi nyaa de sape wat tih bih?

This is a scenario where a guy is applying for a loan at a local financial institution.

Applicant:       Cik, I’d like to make a personal loan…I’ve filled in all the forms

Counter Girl:   Ok, you have prepared all your photocopied documents?

Applicant:       Already, cik. Everything is in order.

Counter Girl:   Great. Let me go through everything first.

Counter Girl browses through the documents while Applicant looks at...her…desk (Hehehe, you thought I was gonna to say something inappropriate were you?).

Counter Girl:   Ok, encik...you intend to loan how much, exactly?

Applicant:       Oh? It’s written there right? I want to loan RM 100,000.

Counter Girl:   Umm…yes it is written, but erm, encik…after assessing your income and your monthly financial commitments…I don’t think that the amount you are asking for can be approved.

Applicant:       What?! How can you say that? Heeeyyyy cik, look carefully there..you know where I work? P*******! Not cincai, cincai punya company you know. Oil & gas ooo…I’m an 'engineer' you know!

Counter Girl:   Erm…I realize ‘where’ you work encik (Of course, since he’s wearing coveralls with the company name on it, duh!). But  you’re not an engineer…you only work at under the Engineering Department. It says here in your payslip that you are only an 'engineering technician'.

Applicant:       Eh, where you go to school, cik adik…oooooiii?! I work in that department, so I am an engineer la. It’s not you that’s working there, and now you pulak pandai-pandai determine what I ‘am’ at work. How come my friend’s loan for the same amount was approved when he applied here a few weeks ago?

Counter Girl:   What’s your friend’s name?

Applicant:       Mr. Sanuh

Counter Girl:   Oh, he’s application was approve because he’s an ACTUAL engineer.

Applicant:       Ya la, we work in the same department, both me and him are engineer ma!

Counter Girl then slaps her own forehead.

Can people be any more dumber than that? Oh, and by the way, this particular loan application wasn't just a nightmare for the applicant, but also for the person working over the counter. Kesian.

Suria Perkasa Hitam a.k.a. Kesatria Baja Hitam a.k.a. Kamen Rider Black

Oni wat sirita tih doik obuok tayang? Many many years ago, when I was still a phlemy kid (budak ingusan la...) there was this one television show that somehow brainwashed the minds of almost every boy in my primary school. I'm gonna need the help of my fellow friends and readers to help me re-trace the steps of this television show, coz to be honest, the storyline was the last thing on my mind when I watched it. Tapi dalam aku cuba mengelak untuk ambil tauk pasal storyline cerita tok...masih juak aku dapat ingat dengan samar-samar apa sedang dilalui hero ya. Cerita nok aku maksudkan adalah....jeng jeng jeng! Nangga video tok dulok...jelmakan semula zaman gembira kanak-kanak anda! Henshin!!! Suria...Perkasa...Hitam!!!!!! Persoalan Minda: Aku heran dengan nama hero tok versi Indon ya - Kesatria Baja Hitam. Apa sebenarnya maksud 'baja' ya? Macam ne nama Kamen Rider Black, boleh ter'translate' kepada Kesatria  Baja Hitam? 'Kesatria' dan 'hitam' ya ...

Green Green River

Oni wat orud tih ponu tun duh?  Tebas! Tebas! Jangan tak tebas!!!  You must be wondering why on Earth did we try to manouvre a boat over grassland? Well, the problem is not that the boat is on land, it's actually coz the 'land' is invading the river! The lush greenery that you are seeing now is actually a river! This was I think one of the quirkiest field scenarios I've ever encountered in my career and it took place sometime in mid-2009 (dah lama dah...tapi coz nya interesting, aku post jak), it was actually suppose to be a riverine survey along the Karap River, a tributary of the Bakong & Baram River. Instead of actually surveying anything, all we did was try to get through all the vegetation. And here's the picture taken prior to the one above for to prove it! OMG!!!! What did we just get ourselves into... By the time we saw all those keladi-keladi buntings we already crying out, "Oh s**t!" and we were already regretting the trip was ...

Bidayuh Music?!!

Oni wat ya nai muzik Bidoyoh?  Traditional Bidayuh Instruments  One day, I saw a discussion on Facebook between some friends that was about Bidayuh MUSIC. I couldn't remember as to whether the discussion was about holding a competition for Bidayuh music or organizing some sort of Bidayuh music festival. Not so sure which one was it. But let me just ask this question; what exactly do you mean by Bidayuh 'music'?. For all I know, Bidayuh music that I have been exposed since I was a kid was those that involve an entire ensemble of gongs (tawak, kita'ak, pidabat and etc...). So when I read this discussion, it was odd for me to think that we would try to ask our modern songwriters to write new music from this type of ensemble. I was once told by village elders that to each kampung, their musical arrangement for this ensemble is different. So the beats played by the group from Grogo, will definitely differ from those who hail from Singgai, Pedawan or Serian. ...
