Are You A Sabahan?!!

Why you must visit Sabah, Borneo Malaysia.......

I am always proud to know that I am truly a Sabahan, although often that's not seem to be the case. If you live in Sabah, knowingly or unknowingly whether you are a truly Sabahan or otherwise (illegal immigrant or PTI that is) here are some indications for you.

You are a Sabahan, if.........

1. You know what "aramaitiee" means...

2) You shout "referee bodoh" and at the same time throw mineral water bottles on the pitch during a football match at Likas Stadium..

3) Your Timorese maid ran away with her lover, taking your money or jewellery along..

4) You doubt someone's mykad whether it is real or fake..

5) Your favourite assemblyman whom you vote and supported all this while ... gambled away and lost a whopping 60 million ringgit in a London casino..

6) You go inside a karaoke bar at 12 pm and realise that the place is still open at 5 am...

7) You come across a supposedly local person but with a very foreign accent..

8) You cannot vote in an election because someone has voted on behalf of you ...

9) You own a bakakuk

There are a couple more:

1. Every time you go overseas, you crave for Ngeu Chap.

2. You try and describe something to someone, and you can't help saying "bah" and "itu anu, kan?"

3. You see a real horse you'd think it's big, 'cause Sabah only got ponies.

4. You don't bother with appointments, you just show up.

5. You expect all Chinese to speak Hakka.

How much of a Sabahan are you?

1) You drive at right lane of the road, with a speed of only 50kmh. If people horn behind you, you still don't know what's wrong.

2) You have the luxury of working from 8am to 5pm (you get off work punctually).

3) You don't believe that there is any "clean" politician in Sabah.

4) You feel "obligated" to reach the top of Mount Kinabalu at least once in a lifetime.

5) You prefer a big car to a big house (probably cos you can't drive a big house around to show off).

6) You wear slippers and shorts wherever you go, even to the city.

7) You still think that Labuan belongs to Sabah.

8) You will not go to any FREE seminar/function unless there is food or refreshments.

9) You don't care about service. You just want things cheap, cheap,cheap.

10)You know where to get your candles and torch lights quickly in total darkness (due to training by frequent blackouts).

I like to add some more........

1) You are forced to arrange Daily Express every morning as it comes in all sorts of bits & pieces.

2) First thing a fellow Hakka says when he calls you is "Ngai Tiaw" without caring whether you are good or bad mood.

3) You are expected to be free for anyone who calls you day or nights otherwise you are anti-social or "Lin Si How Kiaw Ngaw Hoi"

4) Everything you say will start of with "Lin " eg. "How Lin si", "how Lin gin yaw" etc..etc..

5) You are very lazy to walk always want to park right in front and if you can't get that parking space you will go round and round !!

6) You will enjoy your durians, langsat, and other fruits thinking its the best on earth.

7) Invariably you will speak some Kadazan lingo only remembering the bad words.

8) You are more tolerant and have many friends from amongst natives and politicians of different parties can sit down together for cups of coffee(unheard of elsewhere).

9) All wedding dinners start an hour later than stated on the invitation card and nobody cares you are late as your friends would have seats reserved for you.

10) When you meet a friend in an eatery first word always "eating kah ?"
