My Personal experiences in Malaysia ,which I will like to share with everybody so that they will learn from it.
PT2
After listening to their advice I followed the to their house, to their greatest surprise their where more than eleven of them sharing one flat. I was amazed and they said that is the way to survive and cut the cost of the rent and bills. They brought out our local African food (FUFU with Egusi soup) which they renamed Suji. After eating with them I felt so good and I was relaxed,I brought out my pack of cigarette everybody took one stick out of it and it became empty. We were discussing about events that recently happened in Nigeria and also switching from topics to topics. We finally landed in a very big augment of football and resolved it with the help of Internet. It was getting dark that day so I had to spend my night their in that crowded place.
The next morning everybody living in that house brought out their laptops and mobile phones and placed them on the table. I looked at them and asked why will one person own up to four mobile phones are you guys working for the mobile telecoms company? Can you get me a job their? why hide what you are doing we are all brothers. One replied in a slang words " When I look at my mobile phones it is gingering my swagger" and he returned the question to me and asked if i had a laptop. I replied no; and he said that I have to get one so that he will teach me what to do so that I will not get hungry in this country. He asked how much is my budget to purchase a laptop and i said "well i don't understand anything please speak in our native language before you get me more confused. They laughed at me and took me to Plaza lowyat where they sell lots of gadgets and electronic equipments to purchase and economy laptop which will be good for me to start life in Kuala Lumpur. I ended up buying a HP laptop and we went back home on a Rapid KL Bus.
On reaching back to their apartment they asked me to take one corner as my office and they will teach me how to operate a computer . I have not touched a computer before it was my first time and I was so excited to own one. First I started learning how to use the keyboard which was very fun to me. As time goes on they allowed me to use their wireless network. I started learning how to sing up for social networking sites like Face book,Twitter,Tagged,and created Gmail address ,Yahoo Address and it was lots of fun for me . I began to surf the web until I came across YouTube and the real fun started. I enjoyed my laptop played music and visited fun sites. One morning one of the oldest guy living in that apartment came out to the siting room looking very angry began to shout in a very high voice and rude manner . He was very upset, pissed and kept attacking on everybody in the flat. He said to me "what do you think you are doing with that laptop, you should be making money out the laptop instead you are here wasting Internet bill and watching blue films(PORN). I looked around everybody was quite, nobody talked back to him. I paused for a while and I asked my self what is going on? I said to him please can you let me be you told me to get a laptop that when i get one you will give me a job.This is getting up to one week now after i have used the little money i should be feeding my self with to buy this laptop yet I did not see any job. You never showed me what to do . What I do with this computer is the only thing I thought myself. each time I come to you to teach me what to do you give me excuses. what do you expect me to do .You are not the only one frustrated in this country. I myself is getting more pissed than you and I can even explode here and now better mind the way you talk to people. Before I could finish my words my bag was outside. Then I Knew that he was the one who used her girl friends name to rent the house because the citizens here in Malaysia don't rent their house directly to Africans. I said "I don't care why will someone talk to me in that manner without doing anything" . After all at the end of the month he will ask for rent from me. Everything here is contribution, I better find other people that have manners that we will live together and share our bills than living with a maniac like him who will over crowd his apartment with more than eleven people and expect to get the house rent from them without paying any single cent at the end of the month. I abandoned my bag their because it was a heavy load for me . I took my laptop and made my way to the street.
