why some things are such things?

aloha...

it's been a while...
it's not that i'm bz with the other blog,
as i rarely update that one either.
i guess it's true as what mr. X says to me b4.
once i start working, i won't have much time to blog.

nevertheless...
what done is done...
now i'm here, there must be something that i wanna share.

as you might already know, (but i'm sure you don't)
today is my 7th day of working.
4th day of training on the job.
and i came across something really funny.
fyi, (if u ought to know) i'm currently working w FedEx,
so, today, i learned bout prohibited item that cannot be send to certain countries.
and 1 of them happened to be Saudi Arabia (SA).
when i saw the list of type of item that cannot be send to SA,
i spotted 1 of them which is kinda funny.
well, funny that it's being banned from entering SA.
the item is, "pokemon toys".
yup, it is forbidden to export "pokemon toys" to SA.
anything related to "pokemon" are banned.
i say it's funny at first becoz usually the type of item that cannot be exported to a certain country would be like explosives, radioactive and so fort.
but, pokemon toys?
seriously?

when i ask my trainer, he said that the reason is because of there's a pokemon that is design with a certain arabic word-like design written on its belly.
so, problem arise regarding to that issue.
but i don't know what that pokemon is?
cuz i didn't ask him.
it's embarrassing to ask such question, especially when you're adult.
as far as i know, there are some pokemon that has something written or drawn on its belly.
for example:
  • Arbok
  • Poliwag
  • Poliwhirl
  • Poliwrath
  • Koffing
  • Weezing
  • Sentret
and probably others, these a re just some of the earlier generation of pokemon that have something on their belly.
however, i didn't see anything that can be relate to such issues.
i can't believe i never knew such things, i wonder i you guys have heard about it.
when i try to search for a little info on the internet, the only say that pokemon is banned in SA due to the style is like gambling and also some thing like evolution.
if it really do due to such reason, i wonder no other things are banned except pokemon in SA.
for example digimon, yugioh, megaman, bleach, naruto and many more.
so, if u guys know something about it, can u share some info pls.
myb u have heard it from somewhere b4.
who knows.

well that's it about pokemon being banned in SA.
it seems that i just work for about a week,
and Ms T and the other has just finished their last sem.
but I'm sorry to say that it is not possible 4 me to go to your convocation day.
as the job that i got now requires me to work 5 and a half day,
and also, since that i just started working,
i'm still under probation period,
so, there's no chance that i'm gonna be able to apply for a leave.
hope you understand.

owh, one more thing, this saturday is supposedly my other frens wedding ceremony,
but i still couldn't come to this saturday, i have to work full day.
so, i guess i just wish "Selamat Pengantin Baru".
what was it in english?
"Happy New Bride Groom" hahaha
i guess he's not gonna know if i wish it here.
i guess i entrust mr X to wish it for me then.
next time, if you want me to come to your wedding ceremony,
don't kawin cepat sgt.
ak pon x bole nk amik cuti lg ni...
haha, ttbe ttuka BM plak...

neway, that's it then..
i can't write too long as i can't keep my lappy on for a long time,
it's already getting hot and hotter.
it's time to close lid, and say goodbye.

au revoir....
