GReader Spam: Round Two.

Ahem. The second round.

Let's start off with another photo of Kuching.


Sunset photos are addictive. Like Coca-Cola, or the Power Rangers, or Wonder Woman. Heh.


Evil Expanding Post of Evil


200% eviler shot of a building posted yesterday.


Caves are dark...


...and I don't have external flash. Wanna contribute? :D


In all honesty..




Anyone remember Para Para Sakura? This is the Pari-Pari Cave.


..which has absolutely no relation to the Para Para.


Green Stuff in Dark, Enclosed Spaces...


...is what some people are very good at breeding at home :)


Ever played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?


Well, this is the Fairy Cave, in HDR Rendering.


What happens to your eyes...

The (fully) grown post.

(Note: You can click on the photos for a larger version.)

First post ftw!

...waitaminute...











Kuching Waterfront, at night.


Expansion pack! One (1) new photo!






















I know, I know, this temple could be anywhere.. But it's in Kuching, really!


Second Expansion Pack! WooHoo!


Kuching Riverfront, from the other side. Those of you who read the name of the photo file will probably wonder why I spelt biulding instead of building. Heh.


This is becoming like The Sims!


The Empire of The Man.


The Sims: You Are The Flesh


No really, YOU are teh flesh.


The Sims: Are You My Daddy?


RoarZ! (actually, more like *yawn*)


Calm Water + Blue Sky = Arsenic Poisoning


Sign beside the lake reads:

WARNING
LAKE WATER CONTAINS HIGH LEVEL OF ARSENIC, PUBLIC IS STRONGLY ADVISED NOT TO FISH, SWIM AND BATHE IN THE LAKE OR TO USE LAKE WATER FOR DRINKING AND OTHER PURPOSES.


Iron Man


I post this photo for one reason and one reason only.

The sign on the bottom-left reads:
"...In 1992, the street was closed to vehicular traffic and converted into a pedestrian mall."


Rays of Light.


Obligatory sunset shot. Not good. But it's the best I have. I lack skill. (Note to self: must go again!)


The Government. Teh gov't.


An imposing structure along the river. This is the Real Ultimate Power! (currently under construction)


Wonder if I'm spamming anyone's GReader..


Ahem. Sign reads: "Air Panas" (Very direct translation: Water Hot). *Puts hand in water*. *Awkward pause* ... Hot Water FAIL.


The Reason


You know, this is why some people go to Borneo.


Annah Rais. Longhouse. Bidayuh.


I wuz dere.


House of Skulls


Among the graffiti found on the walls of this house include: BABOK (love) NANAKOI, GENGHENG SIJOBOY, and ROSLI JANTAN


Flowers.


Insert stupid-lame comment here.


The Cutest, Sharpest, Snappiest, Spiniest, Coolest Fake Marching Porcupine Ever.


Really! (Ok, maybe not)


Need For Speed: Kuching


Cars travel at 50km/hr! One out of 1000 cars are modified! Loud, obnoxious, stupid techno music coming from random cars on the road is a rarity! Do you feel the Need for Speed?


Bau (Smell)


Dewan Suarah Bau: Hall Civic Smell (So much for direct literal translations)


The long and not-so-winding road.


Note the weird colours. Not my fault! It's the friggin' polarizer!


More Flowers. Just because.


Heh.

End of GReader spamming (round one). :D

Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Asia, Earth.

Been here since last tuesday. Heh.

Irresponsible, F*cked-up, Malaysian...

CONTRACTORS.

Specifically, those Class-F ones who are usually tasked with repairing roads, changing light-bulbs, etc.

Why?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there was a Class-F contractor simply known as Eff-U. Now, Eff-U's "expertise" was changing light-bulbs of street lamps along major roads. So, one day, he was given a contract to change light-bulbs along a major highway. As soon as the contract was signed, Eff-U sent his men out to complete the task. Little did he know what would happen that day...

You see, Eff-U, in all his wisdom and idiocy, did not tell his workers that they would be working at a busy highway, the kind where 40-foot trailers, cars and speed-o-bikes were known to travel at speeds exceeding 300km/hr. Nor did he even bother to purchase warning signs or the like. Relying instead, on his "past record" of successful light-bulb changes. The workers, upon arriving at the site, decided that it would be too much hard work to go back and pester their boss to buy sign boards. Besides, they've done things like this before. So they drew lots to decide who would "redirect" traffic using a simple red flag and striped plastic cones. Mind you, they weren't even equipped with power armour or whatever, just plain cloth armour.

I'll now leave the rest to your own imagination.
*Hint: lots of blood, gore, and body parts strewn all over the place.

The End.

In some ways, Malaysians are stupid. I think the "cari makan" mentality has made us a nation of idiots, infecting each one with the notion that putting food on the table is all that matters, regardless of how it is done. The "bosses" don't seem to care about the safety of their workers, nor do the workers seem to have any common sense at all. What matters, is money. As long as there's money, it's ok, it can be done.

"Aiyah, no money, no talk-mah! We vote BN because mau cali-makan-mah! If we don't vote, they don't give us anything, how? Don't be so stoopid. Why find tlouble? If you ale lich, then all oso boleh-mah! Malaysia Boleh-mah!"

...well, f*ck you!

Note: the above story was exaggerated to make a point. Just one simple point: place warning signs BEFORE any maintenance works, not AT. And no, the blood, gore and body parts are just your own imagination.
