Smack and die x_x

today's quite an ouchhh day. before FOB tutorial, the message we got from D was really shocking. let's just be more careful on the road alright.

then before lecture started, there was this big lalat that landed happily on ZS's book, and the next second its life ended miserably on the same spot, but totally deformed. eeeee. HK's heroic act - smacked the lalat to death until HB's file was torn. can you imagine the impact the lalat felt before death? no i can't!

i told my sister about it and she said, "really pity those little insects, it's so weird how people can kill them without feeling a thing.......that day outside my class also there was a beetle, one of the girls was scared so KH just stomped over it...."

then i tried to put myself into the insects shoes (don't think they have shoes though -.-). their lives must be really tough with so many killers (humans) around! more challenging than the 21st century managers wei x)

eye-opener. 

my elder sister just came back from a trip to Sarawak on Monday. more like a trekking trip where she went climbing up this hill. 4 hours of climb to reach the orang asli settlement, i don't think i can or will ever want to go for this kind of trip, so i shall just listen to her stories about the trip.

few things that made me go "whoah"...

#1 this guy in the picture is called a porter. he carries their bag packs up to the hill (4 hours), RM50 one way for 20-25kg of load. and that's what he does to earn a living. my sister said there are also girls doing this job, some only about my age. without them, who is going to lessen the burden of the trekking people?

#2 the orang asli there. according to my sis, only the oldest generation still follows the tradition of putting those metal bangles on their legs, up till the knee. basically, they cannot bend their legs at all. to get to the position they're in as the picture below, my sis said it looks as if they were falling down. and they actually have to work at the sawah padi. but i guess it's something to be proud of in their perspective...

#3 preparing some alcoholic beverage for all of them to try, and the alcohol content was 52% o.O don't play play.

#4 did he come out from our sejarah textbook?? seriously traditional. my sis also said they have a lot of tattoos... where the colouring is obatined from burning some wood, not too sure...

#5 souvenirs for us! fried sago (first time coming across such stuff), layer cake, Bario Highlands rice, unpolished rice, salted fish... 

interesting :)
