Somehow, the words kuchai lama. toilet. and spider didn't sound right. Malaysian toilets are generally so filthy that any sane person would rather tahan until they reach home. If that is possible that is. If not, the best we can do is to hold our breaths lar. The most atrocious part of it all is that we have to PAY for the use of toilets. HMMPH!! The chances of a spider surviving the stench = nil.




"Cik nak mandi atau buang ayer besar?"



Our goverment even organized a toilet expo at the end of august to "flush" the image of the country having foul smelling loos.no pun intended. Our DPM, Najib had even called upon for a "toilet revolution". whateverthehellitmeansla.I wonder if he uses public loos anyway? The slogan? "Quality Toilet, Quality Life"



behold, the national loo expo!!



notice that they need to eat almost EVERY two hours??


Anyway, back to the story.

Now do you understand why i smelt a rat?



So what did i do?

I googled it la.. duh!!

and I got this.



Apparently, some arse decided it was fun to revive the old chain letter by localising it. In the midst of editing it, the said idoit must have forgoten about the condition of our tandas awams. Either that or he/she has been blissfully avoiding them for many many years.
