There are many variations to that phrase of course. Other’s would say ‘ like real lah you !’ OR in other words, it would also mean ‘ berbual champion !’
BUT, as my people would say where I came from…. ‘ Ye ye orhhh sajer ‘
That’s what the blogging world is about right? Everyone nak ye ye orh sajer…
Percicilan is really actually pecicilan without the R. Pecicilan in Javanese means hyperactive. Well, that describes my nature. Hence that’s probably why I never ended up as a real philosopher but just a toilet seat one. For I think just as long as I am doing my number 2. Heee
Some facts about myself :
I am in Malaysia but I am not from here. I am Javanese but I have never lived in Java nor is an Indonesian by any standards. I was born and bred on an island that was once the playground of Sang Nila Utama and Parameswara. I detox by writing, I survive by reading and I love food too much. Married and loving it, we are a pair of books-traveling-photography-aikido-foodie couple. Other than those 5 things, the husband and I are as different as cheese and sambal belacan.
I dream of becoming The National Geographic Traveler’s writer and photographer. But alas, that is just a dream. Would they want to employ a ‘ye ye orhhh’ toilet seat philosopher ? I doubt. So just go on and read me, if you don’t mind things churned out from the W.C !

Hi!
Am myself is an Asian, too. Married with 2 kids.
Reading has been in my blood ever since I was a boy. Writing, I start lately. Traveling is part of my job some years ago, especially throughout Indonesia.
Nice to see other Asian on this cyber world; glad I found you and your ‘walkings’. Keep up the good ‘walks’! I’ll follow as far as I can

Wandered here from Is’s blog, its so funny because my younger cat’s name is “percil” I think short for percicilan, my late Javanese great grandmother gave him the name. She passed on in April this year, but the cat and the name lives on. The name makes me smile thinking of her.
I love the name of your blog!
