Pakistan
On 15th February, one of my good frens-Yiu Wey(si fu) ,was sent by his company to Pakistan. Well, he just got his job few weeks back and sent outstation. I guess his boss pretty look upon him.
He said his job requires him to travel overseas frequently- to developing countries like Pakistan, Cambodia, Nepal, India etc.
The 1st response when I heard about his job scope, I said:”wau, your job is so adventurous one ya”, Well, I was expecting him to work in Cambodia/Vietnam around June coz I will be traveling there. And it seemed I was more excited than him that he would be sent overseas.
Si fu said :”I would only be sent to Paliah countries leh,wat so excited on?” . Sensed that the atmosphere was like a bit sad, I comfort him:”hey, it’s good to get travel there leh, coz these countries are now still in developing stage, there are a lot of chances compared to in Malaysia leh”.
Si fu seemed not convinced by my seemed-lao-beh reason. But I do hope he is working happily there and send me some Pakistani postcard.
Today he first flied to Pakistani’s capital-Islamabad (pretty easy to remember its name), and will go Lahore later.
Actually I do not have much knowledge on Pakistan except it’s an Islamic country which separated from India together with Bangladesh. I even thought Karachi was its capital instead! What a shame.
So I googled, and found:
Pakistan is at the center of the world (no wonder stupid US ka ka cau cau over there)
