I heard from a friend that they can actually keep the passport for 2 different countries as long as they don't tell the respective authorities that they have the other country passport.
Hmm. Don't they have some kind of database to check? Although between different countries might be difficult, and it is also depending on the diplomatic relationship between 2 countries. We can't be expecting country like Malaysia to have some kind of cooperation with North Korea right?

Time flies
Last time when I was still in college, we seldom visit any malls, let alone the cinema. During my college years, I have only been to places like One Utama once or twice only. The only time we went for movie is when our friends came down to KL during their school break.
There was once we went to Midvalley to watch the movie "Day After Tomorrow", to avoid the crowd, we went really early in the morning, trying to catch the 10.45 am show. In those days, there's no Internet booking. We can only buy the tickets when we are there physically.
Since it's early in the morning, the cinema itself is really cold. Guess they turn the air conditioning to full blast and there are no other people around. The whole cinema is only like 20% populated.
As we arrive there late, we did not have sufficient time to go into the washroom to relieve ourselves before we enter the cinema.
As the movie goes on, it's getting colder and colder in the cinema. I was shivering like mad but I see none of my friends complaining, so I just force myself to sit there and continue to watch. As the movie is like winter themed, showing extremely cold weather everywhere, somehow I think our mind is being influenced by it and cause our body to feel extremely cold.
Some of us did went to the washroom in the midst of the movie, but some of us did not want to miss any part of the movie, so we have to hold on.. hold on.. until the movie ends.
When it's over, we have to rush to the washroom like no tomorrow.
I think I spent more than 10 minutes peeing then...
It is still very cold even after that.
In fact, I felt kinda cold for the whole day itself. Guess it is just our mind playing trick.

Midst of changing culture
Everytime when I get back from Middle East, it just feels so strange here in M'sia.
When the taxi driver requested me to sit on the left side, I thought he wanted me to drive the taxi! Then only I realized that in M'sia, we are driving on the right hand side.
Even the hottest weather here in KL would not be able to match the weather there during summer. Compare to their weather, this is like so heavenly!
Food here in M'sia is served is so small portion, I can have 2 plates anytime. Usually over there, I can't finish my food, they are serving it with generous portions.
Reaching a toll gate here after some time of driving is just so annoying, over there, toll gate on highway, it's almost non-existent, they have some, but not as much as we can see over here.
Smallest common car there would be like Corolla or Civic, nobody would drive a Vios or City there, because it is just too small. Most of them will be driving those 2.4 or 3.0 or 3.5 litre cars, because gasoline is so cheap there.
The malls there, will never be as populated as our Midvalley here. Probably they don't really like to hang out in malls.
And also, it feels super safe over there even when we are there all alone, probably due to strict Islamic law where thief will have their hands chopped, and also an eye for an eye rule.
A lot of Malaysians are working there especially in those countries where dinars is used.
So when is your turn?

Ramadan Mubarak
Today is the start of a month of fasting for all our Muslim brothers here in Manama.
Poor thing.
But they get to leave work earlier too.
