I'm not going to write long because I've got a very tight schedule ahead.
I've got one major project to be handed in on Monday, one assignment on Friday, one presentation on Thursday, and two tests this week. I'm quite overwhelmed at the moment so I don't really want to spend too much time blogging.
Life so far in Kuching is quite good. Kuching people speak Chinese the way we (Penangites) do. So far I've observed people from Bintulu and Kapit tend to speak in a rather 'more standard' accent, which makes them quite distinguishable, and those from Sibu and Sarikei have Fuzhou accent like my father does.
Lots of Hokkien here in Kuching but the Hokkien here is slightly different from Penang. Accent is totally different.
There are lots of Fuzhou too. I'm a Fuzhou, father from Sitiawan, and I really regret (though I couldn't really change anything) not learning or given the opportunity to learn Fuzhou.
Mandarin here is quite different in terms of choice of word. For example, 50 cent is called 五毛钱，whereas in Penang and KL it's called 五角。
Bread here are damn delicious, sadly the price is not very inviting.
New Sarawak Tribune and The Borneo Post are the two local English newspapers here. New Sarawak Tribune lacks solid news as they have limited coverage and reporting, no comics as well, but they have additional features that I like. The Borneo Post exclusively reports only news and only contains about 2 or 3 additional articles that are not news-reporting.
Fried egg, 荷包蛋，is extremely rare in Kuching, and can normally only be bought through ordering, and it cost RM1 per piece. People who say it's not rare in Kuching obviously have not been to Penang. The rather common choice is salted egg and omelette.
There are more Penangites than I previously thought, and a lot of Peninsular Malaysians as well. However, Sarawakian is still the majority, comprising about 70% of local students.
After eating it for three months, Kolo Mee still tastes as good as I first taste it. Even better, actually. My first try was white Kolo Mee and now I am eating too much Red Kolo Mee.
That's all for now. Rushing assignment now.

Disappointment
There's a reason why I always stay true to what I say, because I have been a victim of empty promises and disappointments throughout my life.
Every time people say they want to do something, they wanna give me something, they wanna do something to make me happy, at the end they do not.
They give empty promises. They give false hope. They give me an enormous elation and excitement only to crush it at the end.
It happens all the time, and ya I blame it mostly at him.
I won't say who he is, but I guess you might be able to figure it out.
Every time, all he does is give people a great excitement for something exciting, and then at the end he crushes it.
Even though right now I now he mostly is not true to his word and he rarely does what he says, sometimes I give myself the hope, and give him the benefit of the doubt, that he would in this case true to his word.
I have been stupid for 20 years. I have been stupid to treat myself with this.
Ya, I contribute this to my strong independence. I am always not given what people say they'll give me, so I have learned to grow up fighting to get what I want in my life.
Disappointed. I am also disappointed that even though I grow up like this for 20 years, I can still be disappointed by what I already know would be a disappointment.
This is why I have great difficulties trusting promises. All promises people give me are rubbish. If you cannot be responsible for what you say, go away, get out of my life. I am seriously tired of this shit.

Feeling
I miss the challenges I faced when I studied form 6.
I also miss the challenges we faced together in STPM. It's actually the spirit we faced together that I pine for.
STPM could be the greatest blessing in your life, if you defeat it psychologically first.
Then, everything else about STPM would be the greatest thing that has happened to one.
It's true, I've several people who miss form 6 life even after graduating university.
Appreciate form 6 life, really. I miss it so much.
