The art of speaking Indian

I am not insulting Indians with my title! It is actually a compliment since speaking Indian is a damn hard feat (in my opinion). Also, I was introduced to this term by Serious Comedy Studio, in its 10th production, Indian Laywers. So sue them, not me. XD

Story is, Indian Lawyers had their first show on 19th July and I was damn lucky I managed to catch their last show in KLPAC, which was Sunday 8.30pm (there were showtimes on same day at 12pm and 4pm too!). The better part was, my secondary classmates joined me this time! So, at least I get to exposed them to performing arts.

Wait, that's my story. Back to Indian Lawyers, it attempts to potray whether are Indian Lawyers saints or serpents. But for me, what I went through is more like a crash course on how to become a lawyer and how words are twisted in the courtroom. Another one was, a lawyer's question may sound potentially idiotic but it might be actually be a trap.

The main source of laughters, giggles and chuckles are actually the way acronyms are creatively changed in terms of what they stand for, ie (M)alaysia (I)ndian (C)riminals, the way the characters interacted and some wordplays. There was this part where the accused completely change his image for the court proceedings, from a gangster-ish,you-want-to-get-bashed-up-by-looking-at-me image to one holy clean-cut decent chap, as if a complete law-abiding nerdy citizen.

There are so many other things that I could say about the play but my last words are none other than :
GO WATCH THEIR NEXT STAGING IN PENANGPAC or SINGAPORE!

PS. Might learn to speak Indian one day. :P

Something and nothing.

I wonder what is this deep confusion or lack of strength that is currently residing in me. It neither did me good nor worse, but it definitely feels.. stagnant. Could it be a sleep-induced physiological threat that affected my psychological self? Or the pure fact that ignorance is no longer what I am capable of, instead a mask of apathy and indifference is in progress?

The auditing world lacks the thrill and fun that I yearn for, yet it possesses knowledge that I desperately needs. Of course, ultimately, it is how I make use of such knowledge to be a person with better means that brings out the worth of 'sufferings' I am going through. I do not know why but there is a growing distaste in things I m doing now. Or perhaps it is not my place yet to say such things as I had not been seeing the whole bigger picture yet.

To be honest, seniors had been great, workload had been bearable, but my lack of efficiency is proving to be a huge obstacle in my progress. Nevertheless, in the face of adversity, the ability to forge ahead is what makes a human human.

I may be burnout by turn of events as well, due to my lack of time management and greed. I always try to bite more than I could chew, to wear a hat bigger that what I can fit and even carry much more food than my plate can hold. But since it is not the first time it happened to me, guess I bought it upon myself.


I should just be a hermit.

Kuantan, is in Pahang!!

XD a highly retarded title but a title nonetheless. So, Kuantan, what is so special about it that it warrants a post by itself? Basically, it is actually the first time that I have an opportunity to go outstation. For work purpose, but I still managed to enjoy myself.  :P

But nah, I am not going to talk about what I did and what I didn't, instead this is more of a post about the speciality and things I find interesting during this trip of mine. And it starts now!

Kuantan is actually at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and the areas of Kuantan I been to, are either quite far from town centre or meant to remove your thoughts from city life. Near the beach too. XD Unfortunately, the beach is quite a shade of grey... so, I doubt that it really enables people to enjoy, or maybe the particular stretch we are at is just... dirty.

One of the really great meals I had at Kuantan was a seafood meal in a restaurant named Pak Su. The signboard is bright yellow with some Chinese characters on it. Apparently, it is famous for its stuffed crabs (yong hai in cantonese). At RM7.00 apiece, I guess it is do worth a try. Taste-wise, it taste much better when the chili sauce provided is applied on it, just don't put too much. Note : They used real crab meat, so no worries there. XD

The next item I was super impressed with is not in Kuantan, instead it is in Bentong, which is another town in Pahang. I am talking about the hand-made ice-cream that has such smoothness, creaminess and balance sense of sweetness from Kow Po Ice-cream. The logo looks like Mickey Mouse holding cones of ice-cream and it is perfectly apt. The flavour that I tried was Pandan flavour and it was really full of the Pandan fragrance. A shop that it pretty easy to spot if you just keep straight but keep a look out on your right if you are coming from the exit of the highway.

Yup, not really much, and maybe lacking, yet I enjoyed myself tremendously. Maybe it is also because throughout the trip, I saw quite a lot of trees and nature, which I am quite fond of. Just not very adapted to it. >.< cause I haven't morphed into a mountain goat yet? XD

A safety reminder though. To those who drove down to Kuantan or intend to drive within there, please be very wary of speeding cars. Kuantan drivers tend to drive very fast but they are still quite decent drivers. In terms of ethics and mannerism and all those.  

Kuantan, most probably I will go again. If need be.
