Rice issue

Ka'amatan holidays...had just passed. While they celebrate, the people here in Sabah are really worried about the rice issue. As all the aunties and "ah sau" know that we are know facing "rice extinction" and that our rice will be gone in...3 weeks from now. Omigosh! Means that we're not going to have rice for the next few weeks/months! That's bad. And now mum is making a big deal over it and she is nagging here and there about it and asking to finish our rice and not even leave 1 颗 on the plate! It's easy for me and hard for Nicky since his plate is like, dirty, when he said he's done but mine is "sparkling clean"!! *ting* haha.... I don't understand why the goverment won't do anything about this issue and why they don't squeeze their brain juice to figure out a solution. We can get rice from Thailand or somewhere...our neighbours. I'm sure that people would pay for rice. Think people!
Another thing...
this pisses me off!!! We (Nick, ma, Zhong and me) went to visit 1 Borneo yesterday (since they say it's ready). BUT we were actually pranked by them. When we arrived there, it was so confusing and we don't know where to park so we just followed the cars in front and they led us to a dirty place, which is still under construction. Ma said that she doesn't want to park her car there. I understand. It was so dusty!!...all the cars parked there were covered with at least 1cm of dust and every car was stuck there because (i guess) all of them didn't know where to go.
Mum was so mad that she said we should just go to another mall. But then, she said we've come so far (too far) and she said she will give it another try. Then we got up the parking. haha. And then, Tam Zhong did something really funny. Because the parking was like, on the 4th floor and we have to like go straight until the 4th floor, it was quite high, and scary! So this Zhong said,
" Wah...so high!!! Ahhhhh-eeee-yyeeeee!!!!!!!!"
And it was soooo funny! The way he shouted! Gila man!!!
Finally! We got up! FINALLY! But (there's another but) the parking floor was more like a dust storage. The people doing construction was wearing masks and covering their eyes because it was awfully dusty! Ma said that we should just leave, for our health's sake. So the boys and i said okay. Then...we changed our minds (lol). We parked at a less dusty place and ran into the mall. The good thing is, we finally got in.
The bad thing is, the whole mall was filled with dust, and people were covered with dust. It was just a dusty mall. The construction work isn't even completed yet but they still allow the public to go in. I mean, what if something bad happens? Like for instance, something drops on your head? Who will pay? Who is responsible? It was so dangerous! I walked through the corridors with a heart pumping so quickly! My nose was itchy. Ma said her whole body was ithcy. So we left. It was a lousy, dusty experience. BOOOOOO!!!!!!! Nick and Zhong started sneeze-ing once they got in the car. I'm never going there again!
On more thing...
They are trying to turn Sabah into their so called "shopping paradise" which i think will not happen. Maybe for some people but for me? Sorry. I still think we're a bit out. I still think that the shops/malls in KL are better and more fun to shop in because....
  1. it's cleaner
  2. more comfortable
  3. the 服务 is way better
  4. they have the latest
  5. more variety
  6. more discounts
  7. more brands to select

It's true. They are putting up stores like M.A.C and Guess here but why didn't they ask themselves Can my product sell here? For me, i would rather buy a jeans from Guess in KL rather than from the Guess in 1 Borneo because the jeans in the KL store would be much newer and maybe cheaper. For instance, the pants i bought in Esprit, KL last year. $129. When i went shopping the other day(labour day), the Esprit in Warisan had written "New Arrival" on that pants and guess what? It was $50 more expensive. you see. How can you survive like this?!?!?!!!!!And no....Sabah doesn't have all the brands...they got no Momoé, no Wild Channel or even Tribal Spirit. So....i would shop in KL....more.

sleepy.
