Last weekend, I crossover to JB to visit a friend of mine who was going to leave for Oxford by the end of this month.

"JB DUDE? OXFORD LAW? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME"

But then again, we cannot look down on other people just because of their geographical origins.

Then again, we always have good laughs about the people from the island republic down-south.

So on a lovely Sunday afternoon, I was heading back to Singapore after I found my way to Larkin Terminal. The terminal looked like an interchange in Singapore, but packer, dirtier and had suspicious looking people.

I went to the loo, got into the Singapore public bus, and was on my way to the Causeway.

SHIT

WAT THE FUCK

MY WALLET

MY HANDPHONE

MISSING

CIBAI!

I GOT PICKPOCKETED!

MAHAI!

Is this how you treat your fellow Malaysian? Just because I have money and you don't, you don't have to deprive me of what I have! Can't you just go get a job, then an education or something? I know it's hard, but that's life! My family worked hard for the money, and I worked hard for the scholarship allowance! SO FUCK YOU PICKPOCKETER.

Throughout the journey to the causeway, I was dazed, lost, I didn't know what to do. It's ok if you just loose your handphone or wallet, but BOTH -- Killer. Lucky enough, my passport, student card and university card were still with me.

I went to the JB Police Station to lodge a police report. They were surprisingly friendly. They even gave me some coins to call home! But in the end they didn't take any action also la because... well what can they do?

The only thing that the policewoman pissed me off was:

Policewoman: Encik boleh encik bagitau nombor alamat anda? (Sir can you please give me your house address?)

(I gave her my Sheares Hall address)

Policewoman: Oh you skarang tinggal di Singapura ka? (Oh you're staying in Singapore now?)

Me: Ya, tetapi keluarga saya tinggal kat KL (Yes but my family lives in KL)

Policewoman: Oh ok.

It took me forever for me to spell No. 20, S-H-E-A-R-E-S H-A-L-L, H-E-N-G M-U-I K-E-N-G T-E-R-R-A-C-E, N-A-T-I-O-N-A-L U-N-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y OF S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E

But I must complement her typing skills -_-"

Anyway... to continue,

Me: So Jika saya nak renew Mykad saya, perlu saya buat kat KL? (If I want to renew my MyKad, do I have to do it in KL?)

Policewoman: Oh TAK APE. Jika anda masih warganegara Malaysia, anda boleh pergi ke pejabat pendaftaran di mana-mana. Negeri ke, daerah ke, kampung ke, kami akan menerima anda!

(Oh you don't have to! If you're still Malaysian you can go to any registration office in the country, be it state, district or even village!)

Me: -_-" Ok

FUCK YOU POLICEWOMAN YOU THINK I'M SOME SORT OF TRAITOR WHEN I DECIDE TO STUDY IN SINGAPORE? THE REASON WHY I'M STILL MALAYSIAN IS BECAUSE I LIKE BEING ONE. ALTHOUGH I'M NOT PROUD OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY COUNTRY, AT LEAST I TRY TO DEFEND IT TO MY BEST! CIBAI!

Seriously...

Yeah, after that, I went back to hall. It's a blessed that I still have my ezylink for public transport man. I wouldn't know what to do then.
