I’ve just arrived at my own home town, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Feels damn good to be close to family, and to be home. I am missing Brisbane already.

Especially the freezing cold beers.

However, after touching down for few hours. I felt hostile, more hostile than ever – all illegal immigrant’s child has grown to teen, and they tend to be more rebellious, especially at their current age, causing troubles to society.

I officially declare KK is not safe place. Not safe to walk alone, not even in public places. Unless you have a gun on your hand, a lastik in your pocket, or really really huge eye balls that can shoot lasers.

Kota Kinabalu has changed considerably since I left for studies. Here’s my thought.

Road traffic increased. There are damn many cars on the road due to easy loan schemes from local car producers. I bet you can see one Myvi in every five cars (definitely got one with loud exhaust, very cool one) Probably will be my first car I ever purchase when I can support financially. Just maybe. Without the vroom vroom exhaust.

Malaysia’s food price are a lot cheaper compared to Australia’s, one of the biggest factor is the currency. However, Sabah is one of the state where everything is more expensive than other states. A normal bowl of noodle costs RM7, compare to RM4-RM5 at West Malaysia. Damn, no wonder we’re so poor.

I am more conscience with my expenses since I am not receiving allowance from parents anymore (should have started saving earlier, heh). I became a frugal person as far as I am aware of. Each purchases are put into considerations. I struggles between “needs” and “wants”.

Haven’t hang out with any friends since the day I return.

Honestly, I am not ready for that yet. So many things I want to settle before I resume my social life.. yum cha, night life, sports and etc. I have a new set of goals before I return from Australia, and I want to focus on that mindset for time being before getting distracted.

Now you know my intentions of not going out. Don’t give up calling me just yet! I love getting calls from you guys.. hehehe. The best part is when I reject.. “noloh… I am not going out loh…”

HAHAHAHAHAH

My camera has been in hibernate mode for two weeks.

Maybe is because of the thought that ahbing.com is closing down, I lost the enthusiasm in personal blogging. This thought crossed my mind for many times. I am moving on to something bigger, hopefully more successful. Personal blogging used to be fun, but it felts like a task, or routine, whichever comes first. I don’t like it.

I still have many pending posts.. all of ‘em at months overdue. Forgot most of the posts details but you will definitely enjoy reading those entries

I went to a few shopping malls, alone.

Main purpose is to survey the quality of local pretty girls. Man, I am disappointed! Where are all the pretty girls ha? Why hide at home? Come out leh! I got so angry that I accidentally bought newest iMac. I almost bought another one for my sister too. My dad got so upset with local pretty girls too so he gave me the green light to purchase one for me.

Yes. I bought an iMac.

No, the part about my dad was just a joke.

It’s easy to impress my mum with new gadget. We played Photo Booth.

My mum said she loves my computer. Hehehe. My mum looks like 20 years older while I became Frankenstein or some sort.. a bald Frankenstein. I love my mum cause she’s so noisy

Yet to master the new beast, going to spend more time personalizing and learn the shortcuts. I shall give my iMac a name. Any ideas?

I personally felt that Kota Kinabalu does not feel the same to me anymore.

During my study breaks, I always come back with excitements and plans. Catch up with friends, unlimited “to-do” list, ever lasting yum cha sessions and more. I wake up every morning with excitement, “WOW today is another busy day”. I am not feeling this anymore. As if I have all the time I want, and do whatever I want as long as I still can survive with my own savings. Or is it because everyone has started with their journey, and I only started to depart my own journey, leaving behind and feeling lonely?

Walao I don’t even understand what I was typing on previous paragraphy.. if you understand what I am trying to say, give me a call 016-8158886 and we go out for a date. If you have gugujiao, don’t bother. My mum will flying kick you. She desperate for a grandchild now.

I consider this a ranting post. If you read from top to bottom, I thank you for your patience. This entry seems like written by a long-winded old geezer.. man, I am only 25 this year! Some of you would definitely say “WOIII you’re only 25 and you complain! I am XX years old and [..insert the rest]”

HAHHAHAHAHAH
