While Malaysia Barat is tearing themselves apart from the recent case of the racist principal telling Chinese kids to go back China, trouble is brewing with our neighbor to the south. Barely a year ago the Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (BENDERA) announced that they will invade Malaysia to cause havoc with its 40 well-trained, bamboo-armed and black-magic-protected men.
Now at this point I share your blurness on what really pissed them off to the point of throwing human faeces at the embassy. This simple but crucial disclosure may reveal a bit why the tension between the two countries are on high again:Indonesia’s Maritime and Fisheries Minister Fadel Muhammad said Indonesia freed the seven fishermen due to lack of proof...because he needs to pacify his countrymen to show that Indonesia is standing up to Malaysia (Kiasu la).
Malaysia has since quietly responded to the note and made it clear that the Indonesians had encroached into Malaysian waters"
People here only crowd around bridges for fishing, pakto or if someone just jumped off the bridge. Curious if it's the latter, I decided to join in.
Turns out they are netting fishes. Dead and dying fishes floating downstream along the Sungai Merah lit. Red River.
Another person kepoh like me told me there were more of the floaters in the morning and several opportunistic Sibuians grabbed as much fish as they can, leaving virtually nothing for me to take pictures of by then (3pm). However some persistent fishermen caught whatever leftovers the river yielded. And for leftovers, some of the fish are quite a pricey catch. Keli, sepat, buris, and some more fish of which I'm not sure what their native names are.
Although it's a free for all free fishing, or simply netting, I'm wondering what killed these fishes. The very same kepoh person told me there's been some logging upstream that killed them, however the logic escaped me. I'm assuming the recent flood unleashed something in the river and killed all the aquatic life, the same thing that happened in 2009's January near Kapit (read the news here).
It looked like this in Belaga and Kapit last year and it could've been like this this morning in Sg. Merah. (Image source)

Further closer inspection revealed the reason for the haunting (ignore the bear, it's my sis'):
Haha so phucking cute! The cat gave birth to 3 healthy kittens. Although they bear the common Sibu street cat coloration of orange/white and gray stripes/white, they are effing cute nonetheless XD So guai-guai one some more haha
Will leave them be until the litter can walk. Maybe I should impose taxes for cats who use the house soon before more cats come in and turn it into a nursery.

Apparently Sibu in Chinese is pronounced as "Shi Wu", lit. Witch. I'm not sure if it's the Left 4 Dead's witch variant, but it somehow caused a fuss lately.
Thanks to May for the heads-up for another pontianak video in her post. Pontianak, or female ghost of woman who died giving birth, is the staple of Malaysian mainstream horror stories and poor handphone 3gp format videos online.
My 4520 died in the line of duty during my critical moments of last assignments and finals. It was one fatal shopping trip when I was stocking up for winter and finals. 4520 fell out of the fattened-up and consequentially-unzipped bag. But the case of Mothers that fell out as well broke its fall and 4520 survived the fall with some 
A series of unfortunate events began to unfold ever since, reminiscent of Summer 2008. Like what Jackie Chan said in the movie Little Big Soldier "You have to step on shit first, then good things will happen". True that, and I persisted. God, comrades and trance helped me out during my tough times until the end of my final finals. Some zombie-killing in-between also helped vent out some stress and rage I accumulated (cheers to all fellow Survivors and Infected alike).
Thanks to Bowie for coming up with the title above as the first supportive comment 5 minutes after I broke up that 4°C night. 1 minute later me and the rest of the slightly-finals-free peeps in Perth enjoyed a blardy good Germany vs England match. Yup I'm back in the sea again and this time will remain single till I remember how it felt to be authentically in-love again. I'm happy to see fellow brothers who share the same predicament have moved on. M and V et al., remember my phrases I uttered with epic coolness in the winter "Find a wife, not a girlfriend. Let your successes attract the right ones, not you working hard to appease the wrong ones."
After weeks sobering up and enjoying my last moments in Perth the results were out that 0°C midnight. I found Gloria, and dude is she hot. She's my official degree graduate acknowledgment. I celebrated with a $30 (RM90) haircut and hours of Ganjaguru till the batteries were out. I flew back to Malaysia early July, back to the familiar hot and humid Sibu.
I got an accidental faux hawk going on. If you diss my elongated sideburns that will compliment the faux, STFU and go trim your bush. Apart from that I've been busy traveling around learning the art of business to better myself for the future, hence the lack of time to do much update or play Facebook. And yes, wo xianzai zai xue zhongwen :)
