Never thought the <I>white</I> house (umah kek simpang tigo soborang balai) was the local addicts haunts.<BR/><BR/>Well, it sure does brings me back in time (not all of them were bad, though).<BR/><BR/>See you around. Maybe we can talk things over latte or whatever you favor.<BR/><BR/>Greetings and lots of love from a Langiang living in Kuale Kangsor.ArahMan7https://www.blogger.com/profile/10800847777772543779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-51633222046792383852008-10-26T00:28:00.000-05:002008-10-26T00:28:00.000-05:00Hola wareh den,My, my!

You graced <A HREF="http://arahman7.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">My Journey To Recovery</A> with your presence.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the lovely comments too. Now look what have you done? I'm still blushing. My beloved wife were looking at me, hard! I guess she must sense something amiss coz she then asked, <I>"Wat's da matter, Hon? Looks like you have just being proposed?"</I><BR/><BR/>I guess I must have looked like <I>a dirty old man</I> who have just been caught with his hand (<I>pecker?</I>) in the cookies' jar!<BR/><BR/><I>"I'm not that horny, Cayang. I'm not about to run off chasing anything that wear skirt. Anyway, who would want an old man like me?"</I> - she must have not heard me when I said, <I>"if only you knew... ?"</I> (nasibaik tak donga, kalo tak parah den, lol!) ;-)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I felt so small. Even so after Mat Cendana befriended me and introduced me to the giants <I>who's who</I> in the Malaysian bloggersphere.<BR/><BR/>Dato Klana Primary School? Was it in Channel Road, Sikamat, Somban? I was there in 1973-74 when Sek. Men Sains NS <I>invaded</I> your school and took two buildings to serve as our hostels.<BR/><BR/>Those were the days when our HQ in Gontam, Pilah tak siap laie. Jadi kita orghang numpang ket skolah KGV selama 2 tahun.<BR/><BR/>Bodyguard kita orghang, akak2 diTunku Kurshiah (maso tu tongah nak naik, sumo eh lawa2 belako) dan abg2 ket SDAR. Those were the days Mat Salo. It's a long long story and it will take a long long time to story. Esok2 la den cito.<BR/><BR/>Sonang2, singgah la laie ket blog den.<BR/><BR/>Greetings and lots of love from a Nogorian living in Kuale Kangsor.<BR/><BR/>~ <A HREF="http://blazingpink.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">ArahMan7</A>ArahMan7https://www.blogger.com/profile/10800847777772543779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-12342154027089018562008-10-21T01:57:00.000-05:002008-10-21T01:57:00.000-05:00Hi I just came across your blog and enjoys your wr...Hi I just came across your blog and enjoys your writing very much. Its full of two sides of the coins. <BR/><BR/>Mr old geezers seems penuh berkarisma (dan bergaya gambarnya). They are becoming today's nation-concerned-young -chick's fantasies.

They are young at heart...hei, they are not old yet. They are young at heart and is still kicking hard ! In chinese hokkien, they are call "lao-chiao" or od-bird, which means very experience people. They eat more salt then the young chickus eating rice. The difference between them and us is they have the courage. I bet they are worst when they were still at their younger years, lack of experience and wild and hard to handle type. And for Sheih, he is still young and inexperience. Just use his horns and knock what ever he thinks it's right for the sake of justice ! That is what you call fresh blood ! he.. he.<BR/>Btw, we are far above age as far as Sheih is concern, but not far from Zoro and DJ Merican. Give another 3 or 4 years more and you'll qualify for EPF withdrawal.Do you think you are old ? I'll be joining Zoro and DJ Merican for the sake of justice and Old Men's Country soon !!kbguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191209028393276826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-60223549687933768992008-10-12T06:21:00.000-05:002008-10-12T06:21:00.000-05:00Hi cuz,I suppose when we reach that "geriatric" ag...Hi cuz,<BR/><BR/>I suppose when we reach that "geriatric" age there's relatively nothing much left to lose compared to the younger people with their careers and budding families. <BR/>I salute them for still wanting to make a difference for the future generations. <BR/>Remember that until we die, our deeds are still being accounted for, good or bad. And after we're dead, one of the three deeds that goes on indefinitely is our contribution to the well-being of the society. I do hope these brave people are doing just that.<BR/>Take care bro and have a safe journey back to Kaltim!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-33385636211905894432008-10-10T21:53:00.000-05:002008-10-10T21:53:00.000-05:00Hi Mat SaloAs far as I know, one of the old geezer...Hi Mat Salo<BR/><BR/>As far as I know, one of the old geezers you refer to did in the past stand up for the teachers (together with his comrades) and got punished for it too. <BR/><BR/>Some people just have it in them. Some come to it when they see the light and some hold on for the purposes of keeping their family alive.<BR/><BR/>My hat's off to those brave 'uncles'.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13729752991744815923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-79557639465400382652008-10-10T09:08:00.000-05:002008-10-10T09:08:00.000-05:00Salam bro,Hear ye!

Elviza is correct. This is the old geezers time. You young guns take care of your kids, we old foggies will take care of the time that is now. When we took time to put bread on the table we allowed the rot to fester and multiply. I for one regretted my complacency and misdirected priorities. IT IS PAYBACK TIME NOW AND I HOPE TO MAKE UP FOR MY INDIFFERENCE OVER THE YEARS. <BR/>It ain't your's or Elviza's time YET, but your time will come and then you must saddle up and go get them critters.<BR/><BR/>They might break this old body but they will never possess my mind.<BR/>Peace and good will comrade swampmanzorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541853781206395661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-77900247154154465582008-10-09T21:49:00.000-05:002008-10-09T21:49:00.000-05:00Mat Salo,Good write-up.
