When Shit Happens

This post is inspired by Ms. Koh 2's "Ang moh 红毛" post.

When shit happens,

The British will say "Bloody hell!".

American will say "Jesus Christ!".

Chinese will say "糟糕了!".

Taiwanese will say "干!".

Malaysian will say "Shit!".

Singaporean will say "Oh my god!".

Hongky will say "憋家伙!".

Cantonese will say "Diu lor...".

Hokkien will say "Jia lat liao!".

Penang CB lang will say...

CIBAI!

You Know You Are In Penang Long Enough When...

Ms. Koh 2 inspired me to write this post after reading her post 'You know you are in Japan long enough when...'

So, you know you're in Penang long enough when...

1) You slow down your car when the traffic light is green to let pass the motorcyclist from other side of the road.

2) You run into traffic jam when there's accident happens on the other side of the road.

3) You start to put flower pots, DIY-cement block in front your house to prevent people park their cars there.

4) You order food with Hokkien in Ipoh or KL.

5) You pay parking fee from morning till night and even on Sunday.

6) You say it's big, cheap and worthy when you see double storey linked house with the size of '20ft x 64ft' selling at the price of RM400k and above.

7) You say 'Jialat lor' instead of 'Diu lor' when shit happens.

8) You start scratching people's car when their cars block your way, park too near, or park in front of your house.

9) You drive like 车神, leaving your car 1cm away from the butt of the car in front of you to avoid people cutting into your lane while waiting at the traffic lights.

10) You laugh when you listen to jokes spoken in Hokkien.

Help me update.

Penang Drivers Vol. 3

No matter what you do, they still want to park their cars near the entrance, because they don't have legs to walk...

Penang lang really jialat!

I have Buddy!

One of the intentions for me to start this blog was to talk bad about Penang people and exposing their bad habits. Which is also the reason for the birth of "Penang CB Lang" category inside my blog.

After a few posts of "Penang CB Lang", some of my friends asked me:

"Don't you afraid your life might be in danger?"

In fact, sometimes I did worry about it. That's the reason I haven't put too much personal information on my profile. However, this will not stop me from continue writing on "Penang CB Lang"!

But sometimes I wonder whether I'm the only person doing this?

I feel so lonely...




Hey! Not this kind of lonely okay!




But today I'm not alone any more! I have finally found my buddy!

This is the english version blog for PENANG BAD HABITS STORY. We share and discuss about BAD HABITS which has been found in Penang. But this doesn't mean that those BAD HABIT we published here are only available in Penang. Please mind of the language and grammer that using here, because my english is terrible type.

Looks like I'm not the only person who thinks Penang lang really jialat after all.

Your grandfather's one ar?

They thought all the land belongs to their grandfather one huh?!?

Penang lang really jialat!

Genius

An old post from my previous Friendster blog. Some of you guys might have seen it, but I believe most of you haven't. So I decided to put it here again.

This is a genius design from Penang's plumbers.

Penang Folks Most Favorite Hobby

I remembered I have published a post in my Friendster blog two years ago regarding Penang folks' hobby.

Photo taken two years ago behind my house.

Two years later, apparently those CB Lang behind my house still enjoy their hobby very much!

Photo taken last week behind my house.

And they even invited more CB Lang to join them and form up community.

A more and more popular hobby in Penang.

Penang lang really jialat one...
