The Shopping complex was called 'ocean' located
infront of the jam besar Sungai Petani.
It was 1996 and everybody was still wearing
those GQ belt. the one studded with metal buckle
on the tip of the belt.

'aaa.. yes' pocket answered short and simple.
terified by the interviewing environment.
the interviewer scan through...
and then suddenly he laugh...
enjoyed the humour for a while
and he Called a nearby friend
and he too enjoyed the humour written there.
then after a while they managed to calm
themself.
'boleh tolong explain tak...
Sex : Normal tu macam mana?'

ya ya saya paham bahawa bahasa jiwa bangsa.
Tetapi kadar kefahaman bahasa inggeris yang
terlalu rendah boleh menyebabkan anda
dimalukan di khalayak ramai dan sekaligus
menyebabkan anda hilang keyakinan untuk
berhadapan dengan dunia.
