need it , and the person who dislikes you wont believe it....."

friendS-M-Ship

I've got a friend. He studies in my hometown. He is young. He is a nice boy. He's lonely.
Sometimes he sends me sms, sometimes he sends me "missed calls" in the middle of the night.

And when we do get a talking or sms-ing. We usually get right back to the point that he's looking for someone special in his life.

Young, full of tainted innocence in a good way.

I've never met the guy before. We just sms and talk online.


He's a recent converSMSation between us..

*****


Joe: Do u know of any non-straight guys who r single? Intro to me can? Ha.

Me : What is your type? Physical and Personality-wise. Be Specific!

Joe: Type = non-sissy, a few years older than me. Personality=nice,not clingy, not childish. Added bonus:cute n more intelligent than me n can play da piano

Me: Build? Are you okay with long distance relationships? or does he need to be in KK?

Joe: Build = as long as he's not obese. Preferably slim. My build is not very good . Can't expect much. I don't like long distance. Friendship first. Need not be in KK.

Me: Need not be in KK but you don't want LDR? hmm...

Joe:For friendship it's ok to be long-distance.

Me: If it's friendship you're looking for, there are plenty to be found online.

Joe: Ya lo. How r? So bad. I wish I did better in my pre-u n got a place in UKM. Nvm la I'll just bear for a few more years.

Me: Well if it's a long distance friendship, how are you gonna keep it going? with your frequent famous missed calls? Like how we keep our friendS-M-Ship going, with SMS.

Joe: I want physical contact too. Someone to hug and sayang me when I want it.haha.

Me: Yeah I agree that sometimes the hugging and cuddling is much more important than the sex. It's what makes the reolationship more lasting. more special.


Joe: Of course la,but not everyone would hug you and sayang you. I'd hv got someone to do tht 4 me long long ago had i not grown up in perlis

Me:I grew up in KK so it's the same difference.

Joe: I feel very lonely sometimes though I'm surrounded by friends. Maybe coz they're straight.No one to share my inner feelings. It's a good thing my course is very hectic. It keeps me busy all da time.

Me: You know you can miss call me anytime you feel lonely.

********

It all comes down to wanting to be with someone, not because one is horny for sex or clingy for affection, but just someone to be with to share a life with. This wisdom coming from a 20year old. He'll make someone a great partner one of these days. I wish him well.

er.. what are you?

Tai : Who is that Malay guy *gestures to me* ?
Kit : Warren? he's not malay lah.
Tai : Is he Chinese? How come he doesn't speak Chinese?
Kit : He's Kadazan lah...
Tai : um, what is that?

******

Cleaning Lady : You nie, orang apa? (what are you?)
Me : Kenapa you tanya? (why'd you ask?)
Cleaning Lady : Muka Cina, tapi cakap macam melayu tapi nama macam mat salleh
(you've got a chinese face, but you sound malay when you speak and then you've got a white-man sounding name)
Me : I orang Kadazan lah
Cleaning Lady : Ohhhhhhhhhh dari Sarawak ye? (ohhhhhhh From Sarawak??)
Me : Dari SABAH... bah!

*****

So I'm Kadazan, Kadazandusun to be exact. I've got an english upbringing, not to say that I was brought up in London but I do think in English. Thanks to my parents putting us in the library when we were children so we soaked up a lot of Enid Blyton's writings. So if you want a definition of Kadazan, here's one. A riotious one! Split my side, slap my knee kind of definition.

Who wouldn't want this shirt?

In the sizzling, smoldering, languishing-humidified heat of the afternoon, who wouldn't want a shirt like this?

I don't care if it makes me look fat! hahahaha! maybe they can make one out of spandex which when turned on can make you look more muscular by concentrating air onto certain parts of the body. hmmm... but whilst that's still not done yet, enjoy.... the USB Air Conditioned Shirt!

Dreams..

A dream is a wish your heart makes,
when you're fast asleep,
in dreams you can lose your heartaches
whatever you wish for you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come shining through
No matter how your heart is feeling i
f you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

I've been having dreams lately, dreams of getting promoted, dreams of opening my own business, dreams of settling my debts, dreams of living the simple life, dreams of living a fabulous life. Of all these I would settle for a life that is happy and contented but knowing human nature, we would want more.

Someone told me his wishes and dreams in the next ten years, most of which include material possessions (new car, new phone, new washing machine, new house) or the upgrading of the aforementioned material possessions. If you ask me, I'm pretty happy with what I have and pretty contented with the fact that I can't have certain things. Does that mean I've become so comfortable, so boxed in, so blase about my life? I believe that I'm an over achiever with an serious case of procrastination. So this means I am happy putting off getting that new laptop, or doing the basic costings for my business.

I have dreams. Just because I don't tell them to the world doesn't mean they're less real.

I guess maybe you've got to share your dreams with someone because you can't go it alone all the time.
