An animal story
It must be the Merdeka spirit in the air, but today I'm going to tell you a very rare one, a homemade minishorts-styled animal story.
Now as you sit back and begin to read this, I'm not sure how long this story will be since I make things up along the way but I can promise that I will try to engage you guys… anyway here goes.
The story goes that once, there was a very cute little poodle, whose name was Pinky (because she loved everything pink). Pinky the Poodle lived in the spanking clean and hygienic, run on state-of-the-art vet technology Pets 'R Us, a huge home for cute cute and nice nice little home animals, you know, like dalmations (those huge lovely dogs with spots), golden retrievers (I love these creatures, so loyal and friendly), amazing rag doll kittens (lovely lovely), and cute chubby little hamsters that spend the whole day munching on vacuum-packed sunflower seed mix.
Oh they were ALL VERY VERY CUTE, but the truth is, none could beat Pinky the Poodle, 'cos she was always trimmed and groomed, and her long silky fur was always tied up in a cute little baby pink ribbon and the way she woofed and turned over on her back was just OH-SO-ADORABLE! She was the darling of Pets 'R Us, and oh everyone, yes everyone, even the people from outside just couldn't help but pour their love on to her.
So one findfine day, Pinky the popular Poodle, decided that she would have a holiday, a break from the orderly, orderly life that she led at Pets 'R Us.
Pinky decided, and so Pinky made a loud announcement, 'You know! I am going to Taman Negara! They say there are lots of things to see over there, and different species of animals never been seen before. I shall go. And I shall conquer. And I shall return to tell my tale.'
So she went.
Well see, she didn't go alone of course, she went with her best friend the little chihuahua, Hua Hua, and a few other friends… but because the star of my story is Pinky, we will keep them in the shadows, ok?
SO Pinky the Poodle arrived at the entrance to the great Taman Negara, and she said to her best friend the cute cute Hua Hua, 'Oooo we are at Taman Negara! So many things to see!'
And they squealed and all of them who came from Pets 'R Us strutted into the big big place called Taman Negara… ready, to face, anything.
Or so they thought.
The first animal they met along the way was a cute little mousedeer who went by the name of Sang Kancil. Now as we all know, Sang Kancil is a very very smart animal, probably the smartest animal in the whole of Taman Negara. He was also multilingual, and could speak a rojak blend of dialects and languages apart from Jungle Talk at the same time.
Sang Kancil, was astounded to see Pinky the Poodle all wrapped up in pink, and so he asked, 'Wahai si anjing yang beriben merah muda, where do you come from my dear? Ke mana you nak pigi?'
'Wa,' said Pinky in her cute little arfy voice. 'Wa come from Pets R' Us. Wa come for holiday.'
Koyak. Like chicken talk to duck. One talk BM campur English, one talk English campur Hokkien. How to match I ask you?
Sang Kancil tried again, 'Huh? Boleh repeat ke?'
Pinky said, 'Wa said. Wa ai go holiday. Wa hungry. Wa dunno where to go.'
Sang Kancil said, 'Huh? Tak faham lah.'
Pinky was exasperated. But instead of using the universal language called 'English', Pinky decided to act clever, and go back to her Pets 'R Us language. 'Arf arf arf arf!'
That was a wrong move yeah…. cos Sang Kancil, having been in huge wild Taman Negara for the entire part of his life, had never heard the structured syllables that came out from the orderly lifestyle of Pets 'R Us. He shook his head at at this 'betina gila' and walked away.
Pinky and her friends felt SO ANGRY, and the first thing that Pinky thought was, 'KNNCB! If there were a huge huge pig right here now I will throw at that silly little creature and it will flatten him.'
And lo-and-behold, just as that thought crossed her mind, a huge ass wild boar just so happened to walk near them.
'Newbies?' he asked, suave in a way that only wild boars can be suave.
'Urm yeah!' Pinky blinked at his English. 'We're tourists. We come from Pets 'R Us.'
'Oh. That clean clean place in the city ah? I heard they feed you guys healthy food and you guys get to play with a lot of nice things.'
'Yes yes yes! Pets 'R Us is nice and clean, The Place For All Animals is our motto… but you are a bit big and fat to fit inside…'
'Taman Negara is famous for our scenery and the big outdoors. This place is big, so you need people to take you around.'
'We're hungry and we want to go somewhere where we can take things home.'
Big fat Wild Boar thought for a while, and then he said, 'You should go to the TN Falls.'
'Huh?'
'The Taman Negara Falls.'
'Oh is it a nice place?'
'It's where there's great drinks, and wonderful fruit to buy. Things you cannot get at Pets 'R Us.
'Oh!' At the sound of 'things you cannot get at Pets 'R Us, Pinky and friends squealed in joy. 'Can you take us there?'
'Can no problem.'
And he did, took them they, and they eagerly followed the Big Fat Wild Boar.
OK bla bla bla… the trip was tedious, uncomfortable, but they reached there soon enough. TN Falls was a sight to behold, it was something completely alien to the folks from Pets 'R Us–it was chaotic. There was birds of all colours flying everywhere, monkeys with red asses swinging from tree to tree, behind a pictureresque scene of wonderful splashing water rushing down a very big hill.
Pinky and friends were so excited, they wanted to run to the waters immediately! They forgot to say something though, and Wild Boar wasn't about to let them go so easily, 'Oey!'
Pinky turned back, and her friends went to see the new place.
'Yes?'
'You forgot something?'
Pinky was silly. She decided to say this, 'Urm. What?'
'Shouldn't you give me something?'
'Like?'
'I don't know. Show your appreciation?'
'How?'
'TIU! Your mother never teach you manners ah?'
'Urm. At Pets 'R Us, we can do anything we want.'
'OKAY… well here is not Pets 'R Us, you must say thank you and give me a kiss.'
Wild Boar said that because he was angry, but you know what? I don't think he expected Pinky to squench her cute little nose and give him a peck on his ugly face. Happily he strutted away, pleased that his usually failing bullying tricks worked.
OK now where were we. Oh yeah. TN Falls.
Now Pinky and friends had travelled very far, and they were very tired, so all they wanted was a slurp to drink. They strutted to the clean lovely stream, and wear about to poke their nuzzles into the water, when suddenly, a huge animal growled.
'Grrrr… what you doing?'
Oh it was Sang Serigala yang sangat licik, the guy who maintained the cleanliness of the stream (everywhere else it was dirty you see, but the stream that provided the drinking water for the living things in Taman Negara must be kept clean, so that was his job).
'We want to drink some water,' said Pinky.
'You're tourists.'
'Yes we are.'
'Tourists must pay.'
'KNNCB? What for?'
'To help us maintain the filters.'
Well that was not true, the waters were naturally clean, but Sang Serigalas memang licik like that one lah… so anyway, Pinky asked again, 'Like this ah? How much?'
'All the ribbons on your two fore feet!'
'Huh? So expensive?'
'Well, they're your only possessions that are worthy. I'm not asking for the ones on your two back feet.'
'In Pets 'R Us, water is provided FREE OF CHARGE!'
'This is not Pets 'R Us, girl, this is Taman Negara. When in Taman Negara, you do as the Taman Negara-ians do.'
She had no choice but to pay for their slurp of water.
It was the dreamiest water they had ever drank of. Of course lah, completely fresh, pure fall from the sky water, very clean only Taman Negara got one… not the recycled type they get at Pets 'R Us.
Pinky and friends drink drink drink drink so much, until, CB, have to go toilet.
Now potty business, was a difficult business in Taman Negara. It's the big outdoors, and basically, because of the intense level of diversity in Taman Negara-ians, they do whatever they want at a nice big patch known as the lalang field, where lots of patches were available for animals in Taman Negara to do their big and small businesses.
A small and tight little clearing led the way from the TN Falls area to the lalang field area, and after getting their directions from some passing monkeys, Pinky and friends made their way to do their potty business.
There was a very very long queue of animals lining up in the little lane… and poor Pinky and friends just had to wait. They waited and waited, and everyone found their own patches… well, Pinky was nice enough to let her friends go first mah…
So she was eager to go but she had to wait, and she was patient, even though the wild smell of poo amidst lalang prickled her sensitive nostrils, she waited.
It was almost her turn.
She waited, and she waited.
Then finally, it was her turn! Yay! Yay!… Pinky was just about to put forth her next foot to her very own dirty patch, when suddenly, a HUGE FAT ELEPHANT appeared before her very eyes, and took over the patch!
Oh dear, oh dear.
Poor little Pinky… she was so shocked, so bullied, so shocked, that she… she… she…
…she peed there and then. On the spot. In front of everybody.
Oh dear, oh dear.
The rest of the trip was quite a disaster, because Pinky couldn't stop the taunts of the animals that kept ringing in her ears, and well, we can't quite fault her, right? The poor poor thing.
You know, I was about to say 'The end', but I'd like to tell you some facts about Pets 'R Us and Taman Negara.
One is small, one is big.
One is systematic, one is wild.
One is clean, one is so big, it's clean here and there, dirty here and there.
One is quite predictable, one is so diverse you never know what will turn up next.
One is safer because it's enclosed and tighter, one is huge and scary at times.
One has citizens, one has MORE citizens.
One is small, one is big.
And both are wonderful wonderful places to live in… really.
Except, really, we all know this already, there's no place sweeter than home. Tourists love their homes more than the place they go visit, and nothing beats the warm cushiony comfort of home. NOTHING. Otherwise you'd pack up and go live elsewhere already, like Andy who went to live with his mother because he considered that home.
But oh well, Pinky had to go the extra mile, because well, she's Pinky, and everyone is supposed to love Pinky, so Pinky must say something. Anything also can.
So she just decided to say 'Arf arf arf!'
So I ask you, you guys so pissed for what?
THE END.
Add on: You know, since all fables have 'a moral to the tale', this one has one too. I just need someone to phrase it nicely you know, in a short, one-sentence very simple one-liner, so that parents can take the gist of this story to bed and tell their children 'kids, this is what you cannot do…'
So help me out will ya? Give me the moral of the tale.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:32 am
Definitely among the best critics of the whole XX-KL debacle especially the ending. Very few people are able to summarise it as well as that.
You rock…
August 26th, 2005 at 1:35 am
Numero Uno.
How come the theme reads so familiar to a certain other post at another certain site where Malaysians got heckled to no ends.
As long as we are proud of the Malaysians, we can ignore what the others say and feel.
This is our Tanah Air, wo men de Mu Guo, our birthplace. We love you, Malaysia. Happy birthday on the 31st.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:36 am
Kim beats me to it.
And yes, mini, you rock. Always a pleasure to read your posts.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:37 am
Lol. Very astute and clever take on the whole issue.
Nicely done.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:45 am
eheh.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:52 am
Ekekeke, good analogy. Prolly the most entertaining XX-Kl post I’ve read so far.
August 26th, 2005 at 2:01 am
hohoho hehehehe
August 26th, 2005 at 2:15 am
We are pissed because Pinky the poodle, being the top dog in Pets’R'us, wields influence and pinky knows it, but her naiveness and UNworldliness cost her a nice trip and she had to ‘arf arf arf’ without thinking objectively , that’s what we couldnt stand.
but too bad she is more kampung in her mind than a poodle from a kampung in Taman Negara.
August 26th, 2005 at 2:24 am
One more thing, do you guys notice that when Pets’R'us-ian go to Taman Negara, they always want to compare their den with that jungle? I dont think they do so when they visit other places.
I deduce this down to the inferiority complex they subconsciously hid in their mind, you know, to verbally put it out to substantiate their belief that they are superior while it is not entirely so. agree?
August 26th, 2005 at 5:41 am
Buaya: Actually, I think they do it in a lot of places but just that they can be more verbal with Msia.
August 26th, 2005 at 8:55 am
*TABIK!*
August 26th, 2005 at 9:03 am
No lah. Golden retrievers are not like that. Hamsters stay cute and quiet. Ragdoll kittens are nice carpety stuff.
Pink poodles just like to bark and walk that hoity toity strut. Very annoying.
That’s all.
August 26th, 2005 at 9:11 am
well, i am pinky/xx’s fans, whichever u put it, no matter what…..
August 26th, 2005 at 9:15 am
well, i am standing on pinky/xx’s side, whichever nick u put it, no matter what…
August 26th, 2005 at 9:23 am
yeah lah ah lian, your nick alone also can see adi lah… no need to repost your comment one.
August 26th, 2005 at 9:38 am
wahlau. celebrity IS a powerful weapon. it can make people delusional…
August 26th, 2005 at 10:34 am
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot !!??
August 26th, 2005 at 10:39 am
LOL…they said it all…they said it all.
I’m actually hunting for stray kittens around my area. I wanna find one nice tahan lasak but good one to keep.
August 26th, 2005 at 10:41 am
So the moral of the story is :
Nothing beats the comfort of your own home
August 26th, 2005 at 11:06 am
One of the best post i have read so far.
August 26th, 2005 at 11:12 am
Moral of the story : Poodles are pure-breed dogs, they don’t belong in the jungle.
August 26th, 2005 at 11:43 am
*clap clap clap clap - standing ovation!* hehe, may just nominate this for Ping of 2005!
August 26th, 2005 at 11:45 am
Ting Ting! mini-pooh vs pink poodle, Round 1
Fight!
August 26th, 2005 at 12:16 pm
Moral of the Story :
When you get a pet, don’t get pink ones coz they’ll be all over you if they wanna score some tit bits and once you turn your back on them, they come right at ya and bite your buttocks off…
August 26th, 2005 at 12:17 pm
moral: don’t pee in public?
August 26th, 2005 at 12:28 pm
moral: er…dont go in to a sewer without a cockroach as a guide?
August 26th, 2005 at 12:57 pm
Taman Negara = Malaysia (Large and wild)
Pets r us = Singapore (Small and systematic)
Pinky = Influencial Singaporean (coincidence, Wendy loves pink too)
Just coincidence i guess…
bah~
August 26th, 2005 at 1:14 pm
Moral of the story: Pink poodles are bitches.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:53 pm
Great way to bring forth a point without instigating yet another XX vs YY debate. The use of animals like George Orwell really does hit the right spots without provoking violent protests is indeed more educational than sentimental. Hahaha I like the part where cow head dun match horse mouth. Excellent story!
I must admit XX citizens do tend to compare with locals wherever they travel. Most do not understand the value of experiencing and accepting a culture not of their own. Typically, a XX traveller would miss the comfort of their home (in most ways well-pampered by their government) and would complain a lot when things go in different ways from home and they are not used to.
However, I can’t say this is a unique trait of XX citizens. I hear foreigners in XX also complaining how they can do better back where they come from. I don’t condone this behavior. I’d accept it as human nature that ‘home is where the heart is’. When foreigners in a strange land don’t accept hence don’t understand the strange ways, they would only bring themselves further from the comfort of a place they can call ‘home’. If ‘home is where you were born’ then there would be an obsolete gap in the modern age of globalization.
August 26th, 2005 at 1:58 pm
Moral of the story:
Pink dogs are not natural
August 26th, 2005 at 2:02 pm
Moral of the story:
Read the story properly. Pinky is NOT pink.
August 26th, 2005 at 3:46 pm
Moral of the story: Someone should spay the stupid pink bitch so she doesn’t clutter the gene pool.
August 26th, 2005 at 3:51 pm
seraphe,
1. It was NOT mentioned in the story if Pinky is pink or not. She may be, she may be not.
2. Read comment No. 12 by the writer herself: “Pink poodles just like to bark and walk that hoity toity strut. Very annoying.”
Anyway, pink or not, Pinky is a bitch for sure.
August 26th, 2005 at 3:59 pm
Well at least , in my story, scientifically, a poodle = dog, Pinky a she-dog.
but that’s only a story.
ok?
August 26th, 2005 at 4:22 pm
Now go watch Madagascar
August 26th, 2005 at 4:58 pm
Moral of the story? Ermm… people say I got no morals, so here’s a 31/08 proverb instead: ‘Hujan mas di negeri lain, hujan batu di negeri sendiri; lagi best negeri sendiri.’
Your point exactly, but why does everyone else think that you’re ‘turn padang hunus pedang?’:shock:
August 26th, 2005 at 5:01 pm
Yes, I agree. I might be wrong to assume the dog is not pink. My bad. Sorry, Flyz. It was just hard to imagine a dog with silky long coat all being colored pink… so I assumed it was only her ribbons that are pink. Anjing yang semua merah muda kan?
August 26th, 2005 at 5:02 pm
Sorry, typo on last line: … think that you’re ‘turUn padang….
*nampak putih tapak kaki*
August 26th, 2005 at 5:11 pm
Finally ‘got’ the meaning of this blog after reading xiaxue’s blog entry. It’s a really brilliant, ‘wicked’ take on her trip. But I agree with a few of the comments she made, esp our cabbies.
On the other hand, why visit Malaysia if it is meant to fit into the ideal one sets it out to be? Wouldn’t that be missing the point of experiencing something different from one’s home? I guess, she is only in Malysia for the shopping…so, she kena ‘cheated’.
Well, Malaysia is Malaysia, with all the good, bad and ugly, the sum of its parts that makes our country what it is, uniquely Malaysia.
August 26th, 2005 at 7:04 pm
It brings to mind the recent attempt by the State Government to create a “Mini Arabia” in KL so our Arab friends will feel “more at home”.
It’s like, WTF? Why the heck are they coming as tourists to Malaysias if they want to “feel at home?” Define tourists!!!!
August 26th, 2005 at 8:12 pm
we should berdiri tegak on 6am in the morning when we heard NEGARAKU on the stupid alarm radio.
STAND STRAIGHT!
CHEST OUT!
BREATH IN!
SING!
~NEGARAKU~
August 26th, 2005 at 9:51 pm
“monkeys with red asses swinging from tree to tree”
Woohoo, I made it into the story! (Even if it was only a bit part … apologise to all red assed monkeys)
Moral of the story: If you pee in public, your pink poodle will turn red with embarassment!
Moral 2: If you go somewhere that isn’t your home … just pee anywhere and damn the consequences!
Moral 3: If you’re busting to pee and a BIG FAT ELEPHANT suddenly appears & scares you, you’d wet yourself too!
Moral 4: Click your ruby slippers together and repeat “There’s no place like home! There’s no place like home!” You won’t wake up in Kansas, but you might find yourselfs in Pet’s ‘R’ Us store!
August 27th, 2005 at 12:24 am
mini, you have made 2 stories out of two singaporean blogs, make more, they’re juicy!
August 27th, 2005 at 1:31 am
Moral: Don’t venture into territories not your own / where you don’t belong
August 27th, 2005 at 3:22 am
Whoa…you think Taman Negara is wild ah..wait until you go to the huge jungle down south lah..the one south of pet’r'us leh, got tiger and crocs and what not…eat others when they are down and enraged one. TN is a haven compared to that liao. btw, I’m from pet’r'us lah.
August 27th, 2005 at 7:34 pm
hahaha minishorts this is a great one!totally quirky and loved the bits of Bahasa Melayu you used, reminded me of the days back in school
Btw, Taman Negera rocks!!
August 27th, 2005 at 7:36 pm
Excellent points however I want to raise one thing do you want to live in a jungle forever? Would be far better to improve the place don’t you think? Living in a place that is a jungle is fine and all for some but maintaining the status quo would only mean it gets left just as that. Mediocrity is not something that should be celebrated in such happiness and glee especially in this day and age of globalisation.
As for other parks/jumgles that have worse conditions in them well would you like to emulate them?
Competition will be the factor that will make or break our nice park. We gotta be a better pet store than Pets R’ Us OR if we were to head in another direction, better than Sea World or Central Park Zoo. If we don’t want people from Pets R’ Us visiting our park just because they want more, well, we are simply not going to have enough cash to keep it running, maybe no reason to keep it running even. Then what will become of the animals?
Just 2 sens from me, a lone donkey in Taman Negara who wants the park to be the best place in the world.
August 27th, 2005 at 9:31 pm
Would you like to stay in a place where you are free to do what you like, bar the glass ceiling, or a place where there’s a glass ceiling, yet you are not free to do what you want?
The surprising this is, we who live in the jungles have no complaints, and not for lack of “visits to the pet shop”, but we love the jungles for its diversity and variety.
Those who have complaints are those who have left, and probably are trying to convince themselves that it was the right choice.
Mini said, “So I ask you, you guys so pissed for what?” …
So, to both sides… why are you so bitter? Why are you defensive?
August 27th, 2005 at 10:52 pm
i don’t want to turn taman negara into Central Park Zoo leh… menakutkannya.
likewise, neither do I want to turn Pets ‘R Us into Taman negara.
blardy hell nobody seems to get it.
August 28th, 2005 at 1:31 am
one word: wicked!
LOL ^_^ u go gal!
August 28th, 2005 at 1:26 pm
Great post !! Steady !!
Reminds me of something I wrote for Sillypore’s birthday recently.
Well… I also had a bad experience when I visited KL in June. Guess most prob. I went to all the “wrong places”.
August 28th, 2005 at 5:10 pm
you are evil minishorts.
August 29th, 2005 at 6:11 pm
Taman Negara must really improve on its potty patches…. always not enough banana leaves to wrap the goreng pisang…..
Pet’R Us 1 - Taman Negara 0
But Taman Negara got many many nice feeding sites suitable for every animals from Indian Rhinos to Chinese Alligators to Malayan Tigers. Pet’ R Us got no feeding sites only Pedigree Dog food & Eukabana Kitten Feed…
Pet’R Us 1 - Taman Negara 1
YEAH!! It’s a draw!!
August 29th, 2005 at 11:08 pm
I think the blogger concerned was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have learned not to expect too much when I go travelling.. Sometimes if you don’t expect too much, the results can be very rewarding.
Also, I think it’s not where you go to, but who you go with is more important.
August 29th, 2005 at 11:29 pm
eneri: i definitely agree wif u i juz look forward more to visiting the famous places n buildings….shopping is see wut i like n ask for the price if i am not happy abt it then nvm there is alwiz something else to buy…^_^ (dats wut my parents taught me…)
keep an open mind n u will enjoy ur holidays…especially when u r wif good company! ^_^ i bet u travel a lot too…coz only ppl who travel alot says sensible things like dis…
August 30th, 2005 at 5:47 pm
i have to admit, i have not been a huge fan of your previous few posts but this one absolutely rocks!! hats off to you and oh-so appropriate for the upcoming 31st *clap clap clap clap*
August 31st, 2005 at 12:11 am
gutsygal: I learned the lesson from 3 trips i took with the ‘wrong’ company. Luckily, it was only 1 person out of the whole group! Being the selfish me, I will enjoy the trip no matter what, because I paid for the trip with my OWN money.. I don’t fork out cash to spoil my own mood!
August 31st, 2005 at 12:06 pm
I want to add my vote to say “I got it”.
Every place has its good and bad and of course criticism is allowed, just be tactful and intelligent about it.
Plus don’t venture out into the world-wide world (heh!) expecting everything to be like home. Love your home yes but appreciate also the differences in other environments and cultures.
August 31st, 2005 at 6:31 pm
nicely done !! *clap hands* *thumbs up*

As a singaporean, i got to admit that your post make sense: There’s really no place sweeter than home. Some singaporeans want to feel like they are the king/queen of the world when they are abroad, and make unneccesary comparisons. If u want to visit a country, don’t criticize it. It was her choice to visit KL, and she just had to live with the consequences. I visited KL earlier this year, and i found the people there nice, friendly and helpful.
September 3rd, 2005 at 9:33 am
Moral of the story #1:Do not personally attack a person when that person did not personally attack you.
Pinky deserves to have the right to say something not because she is Pinky, but because everyone in the blogosphere has that right. Being popular has nothing to do with it. It’s not right to think that Pinky has no right to criticize just because there are hoardes of people reading her blog. So she’s popular, SO? She may be a celebrity of sorts but it’s not like she isn’t human. Let’s be objective here.
Moral #2: Why look at the tiny speck of wood when there’s a splinter right in front of you?
What’s with getting all defensive when people criticize our country? Why are we showing that we are such sore losers who only know how to get sensitive and defensive when people mention our weakness.
Truth hurts. But it’s time to start owning up. What’s the use of defending the country by slamming profanities at a justifiably irked tourist, when we contribute to traffic jams and litter in the city, or merely stop and stare when a person’s handbag gets stolen.
Moral #3. We grow up by making amends, not by making excuses. So should the country and its people.
September 3rd, 2005 at 9:50 am
actually, you’re wrong. there are some tourists who’ll like the country that they visit so much so they they MIGRATE there.
brush up on your facts, dude/dudette.
besides, i don’t see a need for you to b*tch about what others say in their blogs. it’s their freedom of speech after all isn’t it?
conclusion of the day : press the little ‘x’ at the top right hand side of the window if you’re unhappy with the blog. the blogger never begged/asked YOU to read his/her blog. which means that YOU’re going on your own account. which also means that YOU b*tching about them is totally irrelevent =)

you’ve got language issues and no i don’t think the analogies were entertaining at all.
perhaps you should learn how to write first before criticising xx. at least she doesn’t have grammatical problems like you.
and stop being the hypocritical dog you are. saying that she flamed your country doensnt give you the right to flame hers and her people.
besides, she never flamed your country, she just said that her experience in kl sucked. and i’m sure everyone of us has had a bad experience somewhere.
perhaps next time you could consider adding a pinch of good language and a dash of intelligence to your postings.
that’s the moral of the tale. so next time readers won’t feel nauseous after reading your first paragraph.
September 3rd, 2005 at 1:15 pm
An objective Malaysian with a sense of humor here.
Maybe Xiaxue should’ve minced her words a bit, but if people weren’t so anal and humorless they might’ve just laughed it off and drop the case. She was merely blogging about her experience in KL. I am born and bred a KL-ite but I wasn’t insulted.
Surely you as a rather famous blogger yourself know how it feels to be flamed just because you were being honest about your thoughts regarding certain issues. It’s not pleasant at all.
On a side note, I think it’s really childish for people to pose as Xiaxue defenders but use horrid English and illogical reasons with a dash of vulgarities just to mislead others into thinking blogders of Xiaxue are mindless.
September 3rd, 2005 at 1:16 pm
The moral of the story is: Everyone hates Pinky. Look at the comments on my site and you will agree. Even friends and people who know her personally secretly hate her and these are all real comments left by real people.
September 3rd, 2005 at 2:02 pm
oh yea… Pets’R Us ppl just love to compare. Not even with Taman Negara, but with Amazon lar, with Central Park lar, with etc etc… everywhere.
and pinky’s admirers not voicing so much backup voices? maybe because they disagreed, until pinky needs to rally for support?
lol
September 3rd, 2005 at 3:18 pm
Pinky is indeed rallying a suport, read her latest entry on Sept 03
September 3rd, 2005 at 4:06 pm
c’mon lah, i am a m’sian and i know for a fact kl is exactly as xx describe it. sure, it means you have to be streetsmart as the locals would proudly tell you. on the other hand, do you expect to be cheated and groped when you go to a great city like new york? and when you bitch about it the locals put you down b’cos you don’t have their streetsmart. kl will forever be a provincial wannabe unless it changes. cities like new york is great b’cos it is tourist friendly. pple go, pple come back and tell everyone else great things. no, i am not really a fan of xx, but i do read her sometime & i always bear in mind her age when i do. fuck lah, m’sians never want to admit their country sucks big time in front of others but behing close door, dah tu complain tak habis2.
September 3rd, 2005 at 4:11 pm
i wasn’t necessarily talking about that person but since you guys are so adamant that it was that person there’s nothing much i can do right?
after all the comments and the thoughts in your mind belong to you and you can say whatever you like.
oh but since i’m here yakking too, i should like to add that i love golden retrievers as they’re such pretty dogs….. better than those sang monyet dangling in the wild jungles swinging from tree to tree. these are just opinions that you should note and not get too personal. in mandarin its known as ‘dui shi bu dui ren’… i can’t agree more…
September 3rd, 2005 at 5:09 pm
in short,the whole debate on this issue is rediculous.
September 3rd, 2005 at 5:23 pm
another xx-fame-rider i see
why do you even bother. nothing better to do is it.
September 3rd, 2005 at 6:04 pm
This is such a damn, fucking and meaningless post. No matter what fucking shit it is, Singapore will always rule over Malaysia.
September 3rd, 2005 at 6:30 pm
[...] Today, I paid a visit to Xiaxue, the unworthy Pinky. Seems like she’s facing a dilemma for bad mouthing KL. Oh KL, the mother of all Malaysian praise, the center of all money wasted, the crown of this scum, the pearl amongst weeds. I personally would care less, the post provoked stupid Malaysians and Singaporeans- bickering away like there is no tomorrow, each defending each’s own country. Wah, Xiaxue, the celebrity is so. honest. What’s wrong with honesty? Well, when someone gets famous, (WAH SHE IS FAMOUS OHHH -.-) certain retrictions apply. [...]
September 3rd, 2005 at 7:40 pm
Why are you doing this? I am currently studying in Malaysia and have stayed here for two years. What Pinky wrote about her experiences are very true, from (most of) the cab drivers esp those of certain race who never fail to attempt cheating until the incident in Petaling Street.
I have always respected you, You are famous and I think you from all other people should understand better how it feels to be bashed…
I just dont understand why you did this.
September 3rd, 2005 at 7:41 pm
HAhA! mind if I link this 2 my blog?
September 3rd, 2005 at 9:01 pm
are you suggestin that KL people are all Big fat Wild Boar ,HUGE FAT ELEPHANT as quoted from your “story”“

1. “you’ve got language issues and no i don’t think the analogies were entertaining at all.”
(to which I say: go get a sense of humour.)
2. “perhaps you should learn how to write first before criticising xx. at least she doesn’t have grammatical problems like you.”
(confuckinggrats. but to say that xx doesn’t have grammatical problems? joke of the next millenium! hey, you do have a sense of humour afterall..although strictly limited.)

September 3rd, 2005 at 11:09 pm
Why can’t Singaporeans compare? That’s one way we can improve ourselves afterall. Everyone keeps ranting about how Singaporeans just love to compare and I say that they should. Singaporeans are born and bred to competitive because they know that if they don’t adapt quickly, they’ll die out since they’re a small island with no natural resources. In anycase, being systematic=stability
September 3rd, 2005 at 11:38 pm

September 4th, 2005 at 12:48 am
such an attention whore. you are worthless
September 4th, 2005 at 1:02 am
It’s really ironic that those who said a certain blogger had every right to voice her opinion in an impolite manner are denying minishorts’ right of voicing hers.
September 4th, 2005 at 1:31 am
i believe opinions can and should be voiced as long as they’re constructive.
destructive opinions, when voiced, only hurt others.
xx went overboard, but minishorts is no better.
September 4th, 2005 at 1:50 am
voicing opinions, whether positive or negative, is rather different from pointedly attacking and insulting someone else.
September 4th, 2005 at 1:56 am
I suppose everyone have the right to blog about whatever they want. Afterall, XX was just blogging about her experience in Malaysia and her opinion about it. It seems like all the response from Malaysians are “yeah, my country is liddat. its all ur fault”. Why not look at it the other way, that the KL-ians indeed are at fault? Are you trying to imply that getting molested in KL is nothing, and cheating is just a culture in KL? It certainly does not reflect well about KL, in fact, doesn’t reflect well about Malaysia as a whole.
So what if XX is famous and influencial? I don’t think there’s a need for her to be politically correct all the time. If she’s not going to be honest about her experience, and instead, start blogging about how wonderful KL is, wouldn’t those who went to KL and suffered what she went through felt cheated by her entries?
Whatever it is, honesty is the best policy.
September 4th, 2005 at 11:52 am
Absolutely wicked!
*two thumbs up*
September 4th, 2005 at 12:03 pm
If you guys truly believe that XX has the right to say whatever she likes on her blog then so does Minishorts. The thing I find amusing about XX supporters is that they are so delusional. Leave the cow dung alone and wake up and smell the roses!
September 4th, 2005 at 12:30 pm
goodness, you also wrote on that issue? even I have lost any respect for you.
I thought you were different. I thought you’ll understand that all these were uncalled for.
September 4th, 2005 at 3:31 pm
really hilarious post! kudos!
as long as you realise that not ALL Singaporeans are spoilt pampered little bitches and bastards.
we do have nice people, you realise? it’s just that some ugly people tend to be more in the spotlight. So don’t tar all of us with the same brush.
The moral of the story : Never take XX seriously. *arff*
September 4th, 2005 at 3:55 pm
i truly believe minishorts have the right to blog abt whatever he/she have to say about this matter. which concludes that this topic is totally uncalled for.
September 4th, 2005 at 4:03 pm
inferority complex..
stop such nonsense.. wat pinky polky poodle rubbish.. bloody bimbo..
exercise some morality even when blogging k.. and if speaking behind a stupid name of minishorts.. dun comment wildy on others who put their faces on the webbie to let u bomblast her with rude and uncalled-for comments.. bloody rude..
September 4th, 2005 at 4:55 pm
you are just a shallow bitch. Stop your ramblings about XX. Opinions are a prerogative of everyone and anyone. You have no right to judge whatsoever. Your just seem more childish and immature by doing so. Goon…
September 4th, 2005 at 5:13 pm
AG: like duh… and i WASN’T talking about that person lah… this scenario can happen just about anywhere.
though if the comments are anywhere to get by, I think some people really have problems understanding ‘fiction’, ‘reality-influenced fiction’ and… urm… blogosphere-infected fiction. THE LIKES.
(BTW, RAININGNOODLES, you don’t have to repeatedly comment under different nicks. I could have chosen a blue poodle, but pink+poodle sounds more catchy. no offence to you because i had no idea you existed until now. you blog looks cool though
)
September 4th, 2005 at 6:56 pm
Very well written Minishorts! Moral of the story?: If you are a frog in a well then just learn to shut up. Croaking may get you drowned!
September 4th, 2005 at 7:16 pm
Wait a minute.
Take for example, you have a bad bad bad bad bad experience at some country. And you blog it out.
You’ld definitely put in emotions right ? Like “name-of-the-country SUCKS!”
If you didnt put in emotions, who would want to read? You tell me la. You just tell me.
And it is just HER EXPERIENCE.
Oh, dont you tell me you read some books on a girl who got raped. And she shares with you her experience. Do you say
“Serves her right for walking so late at that night” ??
Is that logical in the first place ?
Maybe she didnt have a choice but to walk right?
I dont know.
But i dont see what’s the commotion for over the EXPERIENCE of someone.
September 4th, 2005 at 8:43 pm
it’s fucking karma
September 4th, 2005 at 11:39 pm
JC, Comment #84 :
Come on, you don’t compare with country that (you think) is worse than your country to improve yourself. You compare with better ones! Please be logical a bit ler. That’s not competitive. And you won’t improve.
September 4th, 2005 at 11:58 pm
Firstly,i am a Singaporean.
I am really impressed by the way you wrote in this post,minishorts. Cheers for you. I do agree that singaporeans are brought up in a systematic way by the government that seems pampering us in other people’s eyes in other countries. There’s alway two sides in everything,Pro and Con,Good and Bad. I dont feel mad when i read this post,not that i dont love my country,but i choose to respect the freedom of speech in this world.
So guys out there,doesnt matter where you come from. Just relax,it just a post that the author want to show her point of view. Peace.
P.S Dont worry,xx’s/pinky poodle doesnt have that kind of influence in its country. We still love our neighbours.
September 5th, 2005 at 12:24 am
To those who were saying that mini was rude, you are an even worse example of what rudeness really is. Calling someone a bitch or a whore doesn’t exactly put you up as the moral guardian, thus you are in no way fit to be calling mini that.
If you have bothered to spend a few minutes to read that post properly, then you deserve to get smacked and slapped with a big “Read again” sign.
When did the author ever criticised the country that disqualified the other candidates for the presidency? She was merely outlining the differences that exist between the two very dissimilar (not as much as you hope) locations.
“So I ask you, you guys so pissed for what?”
I think that’s as good as explained her stand on this issue.
September 5th, 2005 at 1:12 am
haha this is a brilliantly wicked post. however, being a true-blue, born-and-bred, bargain loving, durian eating singaporean.. i have to say:
when is this blog war ever going to end?
September 5th, 2005 at 3:00 am
aiyoh get a life pls! bo liao ah nothing to do but to bitch abt other ppl’s posting. if you’re unsatisifed in any way, than blog a post condemming Singapore man. dont sit just sit in front of your computer and kaopeh non-stop. we know Malaysians bitch about us all the time. Singaporeans vice versa. people just dont admit it and act all cute and fake up front. giving criticism on something doesnt make someone a bitch and definetely not a whore. whoever who said that was obviously looking in the mirror while saying it. when your mother called you stupid, does that make her a whore. wow! beta go for a DNA test quick cause whores are all around! stupid!
September 5th, 2005 at 3:21 am
mini can say what mini wanna say and xx can say what xx wanna say. if mini said mini wasnt talkin abt xx or singapore than mini is not talking about it. reading all your comments and posts realy crack me up. this just goes to show how stupid, sensitive, rude and immature ppl are getting nowadays. how to maju like this. hahahahaaahaaa laugh at yourselves man! take a chill pill. sheeshh!!
September 5th, 2005 at 4:13 am

let me help you with this:
Long long ago, there was a bitch which lived in Malaysia. Her kanine friends called her mini….oops i said it didnt i?
Even a fool can read that you were writing about XX.
I had so much respect for you.( not like you need/want it also.:???: ) And you destroyed it in 1 single post. As they say, it takes a million days to earn your respect but just a minute to destroy it.
Enjoy your future though. Good luck.
September 5th, 2005 at 9:48 am
Just a note to BoAfan (comment #102):
I don’t know about you but if i have (in your own words) “a bad bad bad bad bad experience at some country”, yes, i would blog it out with strong emotions, but perhaps with a title like “My trip to name-of-the-country Sucked!” instead of “name-of-the-country SUCKS!”
If you can’t tell the difference and the associated connotation between these two sentences, then too bad.
Anyway, i do agree that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Wonder when and how is it gonna end…
September 5th, 2005 at 10:03 am
as far as i’m concerned, this case was closed on the 26th of august. you guys can go on talking about it if you like but the present is more important than this past issue.

September 5th, 2005 at 10:47 pm
since the pinky-fans loves singlish, i’ll speak it that way - Small house see big big house.
Pinky needs to go back to Pets-R-Us to get the wires reconnected. Probably she is a ‘frog in the coconut shell’. Haha… thumbs down for you.
September 5th, 2005 at 10:50 pm
you people are funny.
why is S better than M? why is M better than S? i dont know. because everytime i find a fault in S, i find one in M. everytime a M-ian fires, a S-an backfires. its even funnier when the S-an criticise the M-ian to not take it personally, the S-an takes it personally too. i laugh.
whats the matter with Mini’s english? maybe she’s just not so particular. when you are writing in deep thought, you tend to overlook these things. so what if she’s not a perfectionist? why make it an issue? i laugh.
and if you people notice, she was not insulting S. P’s defenders, see that she praised S more than M? if you want to say its sarcasm, its just you. i felt she meant it more in the win-win point of view. i felt she just showed patriotism. its how some look at US. idiotic president but can we say the same for the people in general? no. it is not fair. P also did say maybe it was her bad luck. dont you people read?
i think we have a right to say what we feel. but why be so low? and why be low because of other low people? i think maybe some of you do not have conscience. why make everything sound so negative? it is not necessary. how can we ask for world peace when neigbours quarrel like theres no tmr? verbal (or literal rather) expression is like a drug, take it with discretion, it heals you. abuse it, it abuses you. the more we make it an issue, the more an issue it becomes.
S-ans, dont take it personally, either. if reading this post makes you hate Mshorts, why? she didnt say anything wrong. not literally. what? the thing about Pinky peeing? well, why is it shameful? poop happens.. pee happens too. BAD BAD ELEPHANT. but also, SILLY PINKY.
okay, maybe Mshorts did mean to offend. MAYBE. negativity causes irateness causing animosity causing belligerence causing war. we dont need that, do we?
who cares if my english is broken. who cares if whoevers english is broken. the greatest leaders of the world dont all speak english well. it doesnt bring you to heaven nor hell not even jail. just negative thinking, that.
P was just expressing herself. M-ians are defending themselves. there’s only two sides in a court of law in any country, M or S or whatever.
we are being so silly, i think the better thng to do is fight to show modesty. S OR M? WHO WILL SAY SORRY? SHAME OR PRIDE, ITS ONLY IN THE MIND. M-ians, show that we’re better, wont we? but the judge here is called Morality.
Moral of the ’story’ after the Story: prudence is a virtue. silence is golden.
tell me if anything i said is wrong. i am only a civilised KL teenager.
September 6th, 2005 at 12:13 am
aiya.. the place not gd means not gd.. but so gd to see so many patrotic ppl ard.. then agian.. not gd means not gd no matter how much you stand up for the place.. ppl’s experience there what.. what she post is true life acct what for you ppl get angry? do smth to change it then~
September 6th, 2005 at 12:20 am
dun be childish and fight over nothing impt lah.. even though i can feel tat she’s trying to use her blog to ‘boy-cott’ KL. Good or not, it doesnt concern.. Arguing with someone, who constantly wants to prove she’s prettier than Jamie, Li-lin and Celest, degrades urself..
No right or wrong her, but y critise spore jus cuz she critised KL (true or untrue doesnt matter).. it jus makes u look uncivilised..
September 6th, 2005 at 1:49 am
hey… u tryna diss my homeland? “Well that was not true, the waters were naturally clean, but Sang Serigalas memang licik like that one lah… so anyway, Pinky asked again, ‘Like this ah? How much?’” tt pretty much shows doesnt it? all u do is hustle.. and cheat.. sad for u still to stick to ur side soo strongly.. or rather.. write and criticise urself.. if pinky was pinky.. u would be blacky. or browny. or even greeny! shit…
September 6th, 2005 at 2:16 am
Well…after reading ST and your blog, I’ve come to one conclusion…based on my own observation:
The (quality/intelligence of the post and comments) are inversely proportional to the number of comments.
September 6th, 2005 at 11:53 am
i’m proud of Singapore, and i do appreciate the culture of other countries when i do visit them. That’s the whole point of visiting them, and having good fun at the same time. We’re not all spoilt brats that complain at everything. It’s all in the name of fun when we say we’re complainqueens and kings(which some maybe really are). So dont diss Singapore and be stereotypical. Pinky’s just one of those that dont know how to appreciate. Thankyou.
September 6th, 2005 at 1:10 pm
Good one, perfect summary of a matured person. At least its been put into perspective. Still not entirely happy at XX, but what the heck lets be adults and get on with it. Can’t clame her for what she is….
September 6th, 2005 at 5:37 pm
im from spore, and i really like kl, it’s a nice place to spend my holidays. people there are friendly, and it makes me think that malaysians are nice, UNTIL YOU WRITE. i dont know that some malaysians are so hot-tempered and just shoot their mouth. i know who’s that pink poodle, and i dont think she hates kl, as in the whole malaysia. only one bad account, and you sound so vengeful? that’s so not malaysian. and i dont think that tourists should be forced to like smelly drains, dirty toilets and cheating locals.

September 7th, 2005 at 7:04 pm
Mmm, I’m from Singapore too, and I enjoy going to Malaysia lots. I don’t get why everyone has to be so spiteful and what not just cause XX described her day there. Exaggerated though it MAY be, it is her opinion. I mean, come on it’s a civilised world. If they don’t like it let them be, that’s their opinion. If you don’t think so, then fine, you don’t think so. What’s the point of lashing back?
September 8th, 2005 at 5:31 pm
Woah!! Bloggers war!! So the drama! Pass mi the pop corn!
I think bloggers have their right to voice however they feel (regardless whether its right or wrong). And readers have the right to stop reading or continue reading and get pissed off.
Some old (and supposingly either smart or too free) man have said “he whom anger you conquer you”. the fact that you have the time on ur hand to write an (assumingly amusing?) entry to lash back prove that she is still the reigning queen.

I hope the people who posted those really mean comments and the owner of this blog are happy now. If u guys really read XX’s blog, U oughta noe how sad she is. What do you guys gain? a good laugh at somebody else’s expense? What do you have to prove? Your charisma? Your wit? At least XX shows that she has a heart.
September 11th, 2005 at 5:27 pm
