Sex, Guns and Words: EIGHT

Prior to his university life, he made friends with a guy whom he had met during his stay in Malacca. Roccha is the guy’s name and as they shared their past stories, they noticed how similar they were in a sense. The hardships of life struck open them unprepared.
Roccha is in a band which is called the Visage. When asked why they chose the name, Roccha explains the name means face which is a perfect fit for the band’s status as they are still new to the music world and can be anything they want to be.
Even after he had left Malacca, they still keep in contact once in awhile to ensure the bridge of friendship remains as solid as the first night they met.
Now in the present, Sam wishes to be back in a time where everything was not as hard as it is now but he knows such thing is only possible in his dreams. Unlike Roccha, his current colleague is an asshole in his opinion.
Roza sits by the living sofa with his gun holster visible in sight for Sam to noticed. It is a sign of authority and danger.
“You should hide that shit man. People might come here.” he said.
“People or just that one chica you’ve been seeing lately?” Roza questioned him.
Roza takes out a folder from his bag with the front page written as ‘CONFIDENTIAL’.
“It’s another job?” he asked.
“What do you think mate?” Roza replied sarcastically.
Roza finishes his coffee as he looks at his friend. Sam feels underwhelm of the whole situation but orders are orders.
“Do I really have to go?”
“It’s not up to me but remember what you said?”
“About what?”
“You saved all of us after that mind-blowing statement.”
“A squad functions perfectly when each unit member learns to compromise and communicate. Ya'll disappoint me.”
“Ask yourself if you really have to go or not.” Roza shuts the front door as he casually leaves the apartment building.
Sam shouts in anger, he is releasing his tensions and fears of what will or would happen during the job.
“FUCK! Fuck! Fuck! Arghhh! Motherfucker!” he shouts while kicking around the furniture in the living room.
“Fuck this bullshit.” he leaves his apartment.
Outside - he takes out his phone and dials Susan’s number. On the opposite side of the call is Susan reading her textbook about business communications. She hears her phone ringing to the song of  ‘Me and You’ and picks it up. To her surprise, it is the person that would make her smile for no reason at all. Yes, she is smiling.
“Hello there mister. How can I help you?” she teases.
“Come here now.”
“Woah what’s up with the tone? Something happened?” she asked.
“Just come. I’ll be waiting for you at Kate’s Cat Cafe.”
He hangs up. She rushes out to meet him.

Sex, Guns and Words: EXTRA 3: First year

“I’m sorry Abdullah .” he shot the man with his silencer barrel pistol. Two shots were shot. He dragged the body back on the bed. His hand bloodied and deep down he felt guilty about it but he knew it had to be done. He takes out his phone and speeds dial to an unknown number, “The owl is now in a cage.” The receiver from the other end replied, “Affirmative agent. Rendezvous at the designated location.” He throws the phone away outside the window. He makes way onto the main deck with the rest of his belongings. He prepares his escape with the ship’s safety boat. He once again stares at the gun and tries to accept the situation that he has killed a person. He took a life away. “If you cannot fix a person then don’t hurt the person.” his father said. He keeps the gun and throws away the thought of his father’s advice. ‘I am now and not before’ as he sails away from the cargo ship.

Mythology of Borneo / Sabah - Mount Kinabalu [Part 1]

Information on the picture: it is drawn by Yeng Kiat [ source ] Mount Kinabalu’s (Malay:  Gunung Kinabalu ) [pronounced ki-na-bah-lu] name is a mystery to this day even among the locals. Because to each family, and to each person living in the state of Sabah the origin of the mountain’s name have their own different meaning. However, there is a common derivation of the name from the Kadazan words that is well known among the people of Sabah (mind you, the Kadazans aren’t the Dusuns, and the Dusuns aren’t the Kadazans, and there is an abundance of people living in the state),  Aki Nabalu , meaning ‘the revered place of the dead’. The local Kadazandusuns believe that when they pass away, their spirits will climb the mountain top and dwell there. Sir Hugh Low , a British colonial administrator and naturalist made the first documneted ascent to Kinabalu and he reported that his Kadazandusun guide carried an assortment of charms such as pieces of wood, human teeth, a...
