To eat Durian is To go to Pahang (my 5 year hometown)
Have you ever heard of....
The Musang King ?
No, this is not some sort of Government propaganda, nor is it a new conspiracy theory. The Musang King have been colonising us since the dawn of the "Age of Durians", right here in our beloved country. Do you know why there is always an English name of a local tropical fruit, but Durians maintain their Malay name, even in English. Well, let's learn a little about the shocking truth behind the enchanting/magical/uber powerful fruit...
Warning! Hard Facts. If you love peace and Bob Marley, stop reading.
In 1932, a professor from an Ivy League University went to Malaysia in a study trip. He was introduced to durians, and he became fond of the fruit. Having asked the English name of the fruit, the locals didn't say a thing, and awkwardly brushed of the idea. The professor, on the other hand, went back to Europe and decided to create an English name for the fruit.
After finishing making a few deals with the Oxforrd Dictionary Press, and receiving the 'Right to Name' for the durian, he finally decided on a suitable name for the Malaysian fruit. but just as he was writing the name in the dictionary form, he started having a seizure and died on the spot.
At the same time, a particular type of durian tree glowed a bright yellow here in Malaysia. yes, it was the Musang King Durian trees. this bizarre phenomenon was not reported as the Malayan Regime was busy fighting Communists.
You see, the King of the durian family, the Musang King did not permit the man to rewrite its name, and by some weird voodoo powers, stopped the pityful professor by killing him.
...
... OK, gila x beievable cerita aku -.-' baik aku stop sebelum aku sambung gedik dgn lebih mendalam.
If u've been reading the nonsense above, it should be clear to u the EPIC-ness of the Musang King Durian. it is for this Malaysian treasure that my parents went to BENTONG, PAHANG. And, quite satisfyingly, brought back The Musang King. XD
Here are some pics of the magical fruit.
They went for Bentong at 6 in the morning and came back by 12. gila semangat. kahkah nasib baik sedap. :p
P/S: The above story is (clearly) fiction, and the Musang King really is arguably the best type of durian out there. so go find it! Oh, and The Musang King is originally known as Durian Kunyit, deriving its name from the yellow colour of the turmeric. Its place of origin is said to be Gua Musang, Kelantan (The Star). XD Toodles~

To write in a marathon-like way is to have no job. (unlike many of my friends)
yes, lets see how much entries I can write in exactly 1 hour. *deep breath*
Of Breakfasts and Dilemmas (official time wasting)
I, for one, love to eat breakfast early in the morning and sleep right after. Its the greatest feeling to sleep in the coldness of the morning with something warm in my belly. N I've been livin in such a way its actually become a routine. :p
However, TODAY, I am making a difference, becoz TODAY, I didn't sleep after breakfast. :D believe it or not right now its 7.45 a.m. in clear sunlight! n I'm writing an entry! This.. must be a sign of the end of the world. lol. If not, this is a sign of Melle Abadi getting married before I do. (wait, what?)
In any case, I just had breakfast. (yes, this is the main point) It was a scrumptious sandwich and a few nuggets. The main dish was accompanied by a generous amount of Milo Fuze 3 in 1 coz I was too lazy to make "actual" milo. a clear image could be seen with the GIF IMAGE below.

Yes, I love my breakfast. n no, there are no satanic hidden message in the GIF image whatsoever. if u ever thought that way, ur prejudiced. if u never did, ur too carefree. Darkness is upon us, cant u see? Christina Aguilera said there's a genie in that bottle..! n it aint no nice genie. it gonna kick yo in the lower back! *baiknya bahasa lol*
Yes, I love breakfast.
Thinking about it with a lil' more logic now, why do I even bothered to write this seemingly useless entry, when I have hundreds of thousands of unfinished posts in my drafts folder?! (thats a lie. I only have 9 drafts)
Why in heavens would I write about 'breakfast' when I am facing the 'biggest possible problem in my academic life'? a bigger problem than not understanding how soap compound is constructed in Miss Subathini's Chemistry class n not knowing why the vertical graph is called the x-axis when the y-axis gets the horizontal one. yes, my entire future is in jeopardy if i fail to assess this problem wisely.
So.. what is this problem anyway? (its hard to actually say it when u already wrote a lot of exaggeration about it. it like dat feeling when I know I'd be laughed at by Siti N. Fadhilah or Ammad Izzat or Pinto)
*ehem* I was actually called for interview to get a spot for a degree in mass communications (PR) (Hons.) in UiTM. However, my first choice is actually English for Professional Communication (Horns.). Problem is, if i pass the innerview, I'd directly be admitted to mass comm, n i dun want dat. so i'm planning to ditch the interview but then i'm scared i won't get a spot in English For Pro Comm. yes, sounds scary, yea? coz if i dun get both, i'm gonna have to live with a degree in Law, which is next in line. ... wait.

Oh mai Gawd dats, like, the coolest thing ever! :DD I'm a genius! (I'm also not that tall. ?? )
So what about it? a lawyer sounds nice too. So there is no dilemma I guess. one thing's for sure, I wont be going to the interview. (result SPM pon dah ntah mana... :p)
*menguap* okay aku mengantuk. Better take a nap now before the coldness of the morning disappears into the heat of the afternoon. Till next time, TOODLES~ XD
The greatest of people is one who can shine whenever he/she is placed.

(kalau org melayu ckp "benuh yg baik kalau campak mana2 pon akan jadi benda yg cool. permata lah, intan lah, pulau lah" lol. BM is still the most beautiful language sebenarnya. apsal tetiba aku sentimental/jiwang ngan bahasa ibonda ni? wa nak tido. hee~ :p)
