2 months in Malaysia

Ahhh Malaysia, 2 months here.....
What have I learnt and experienced?

-You don't miss Malaysia as much as when you're overseas
-Malaysian food when smacked right infront of your face doesn't make it appetizing or amazing as you've imagined while you were overseas (Takde OOMPH)
-95% of your friends are overseas studying or too busy working
-You rot at home tolerating with crappy broadband service (Screamyx) brought to you by the best (and worst) ISP in Malaysia, TMnut.
-You return home only to see that in 2 days, petrol prices increased from RM1.90 to RM2.70
-You return home only to see that the US dollars you brought along is not enough thanks to the rising fuel prices
-You try to play dota only to find out that you disconnect more frequently than an otters banging clams on rocks to break it open.
-You call TMnut at least once every two days only to find from other sources that they were undergoing a one month 'upgrading' process.
-You return home to see more political drama unfolding which has more plot twists and chinese dramas
-You return home to find out that one of your dogs vision has deteriorated T_T
-You return home to smell the fresh air of Indonesia in Malaysia
-You return home to go out with friends only to find out that your car is no longer there
-You miss US more because their standard of living is higher and you can purchase items online with ease
-I had more fun in Ames for the last 2 weeks I was there than the 2 months I was in Malaysia
-I've also remembered why I hate KLCC TGV (my legs are too long for the seat.... I'm lucky I chose the corner seats)
-Taking public transportations just after the fuel price hike is like a battle for survival. Thankfully I'm tall (the tallest) enough to breath above everyones head.
-KL roads have about a 40~70% deficit in car users
-Malaysia has about a 40%~70% decrease in car accidents
-KL roads have about a 40%~70% increase in motorbike users
-Malaysia has about a 40%~70% increase in motorbike accidents
-Malaysians have become more kiam siap(kedekut, selfish) than usual
-Malaysian newspapers (particularly 'The Star') can still write crap stories about how fuel prices are gonna increase the price of their 'Roti Canai'.... SERIOUSLY, WTFH
-'The Star' writes about how hawkers are keeping their prices as usual (Yea that's news...)
-Malaysian newspapers are all LIES or FABRICATED STORIES. Thus the only thing worthwhile to read are 'Thumbnails", "Comments" , "InTech", and comics.


Well... there are more but those are what I could come up with in the past 10 mins or so...
