Okay guys, I'm so sorry about the Singapore-Malaysia-Indonesia Concentric fictions, but the fact is, I stay in the area so I'm aware of these countries than otherwise. This chapter would also introduce some one new who is not ASIAN!

It's the Tsunami?

"Ah, I need to rush home, I'm breaking fast." Malaysia sat down in his car. He looked out.

"Nooooo!" He cried anime tears, whimpering.

Indonesia was riding the train, his mind mainly on the president's election.

"I hope Susilo will pick a new sucessor soon," he sighed. The lights started flashing and the train started jerking. Indonesia started to panic. These symptoms were too eerily similar to the power outages during the 2006 Tsunami Disaster. Was there going to be a second Tsunami? There wasn't any alert given to his country yet! He didn't think that America would be that cruel, along with England and the rest of the European countries.

Meanwhile, Singapore was at the bus-stop, reading the latest news with his brand new iPad 2.

"Man, the elections were so close! I thought I could finally decide to go moderate or PAP?" There was only a 0.35% difference in the votes between the top two candidates. He tutted, as he looked through Tan Kin Lian's vote share.

"He is so going to lose his forty eight thousand dollars, whoah!" There was a sudden rush and Singapore felt the iPad leaving his hands.

"What was that?" Singapore took one look behind him and screamed.

Vietnam and the rest of the ASEAN listened at Thailand's house as all three nations complained via telecast.

"Why did the transport system had a power outage!" Indonesia raged in anger.

"There is a massive traffic jam over at my capital! Send in a helicopter!" Malaysia cried. "I need to go to the toilet fast!"

"Some gust of wind blew off my iPad! The prime minister is never going to let me have another one without solving the problem at hand. Malaysia, this is all your fault!" Singapore moaned.

"What is going on here?" Myanmar asked. "I just had a call from Brunei. He thinks that he is going to die out of embarrassment because his oil ships refused to leave the port!"

"Don't you know what it means? I thought you would have suffered from it too." Vietnam sarcarstically replied. It's the one time of the year when all of the Muslim countries and Singapore go into a panic." Myanmar just looked curious.

"It's Hari Raya Puasa! It's celebrated as a national holiday in all four countries, so a lot of people are trying to return home!" Philippines exclaimed. "The technicians who are supposed to be on the job have taken a holiday, transport systems are disrupted as people want to return home. As for Singapore's missing iPad, he could have watched out for the motorists from Malaysia riding towards the Causeway."

"It can't be that bad. We all had holidays before right?" Myanmar shrugged his shoulders.

"China's got it worse thought." Vietnam chuckled. "You should see him at the Lunar New Year. The Pandas were going into heat the last time and he was forced to juggle state affairs while controlling his pet Pandas from rampaging over Chengdu."

Meanwhile, in several countries...

"I HATE HOLIDAY TRANSPORT WOES!" That was the cry of Muslim countries all around the world.

Name Calling

"Recalcitrant!" Australia's Foreign Minister pronounced upon Malaysia's leader. Australia stared at his Foreign Minister in shock. He had just made a diplomatic boo-boo.

"What did you just say?" Malaysia shook in anger. Meanwhile, Mahathir was trying to tell him that it was no big deal.

"Yes it is! That angmorlang has no respect for us Asians! He is the one who's recalcitrant." Malaysia pointed a finger towards Australia.

"Watch where you're pointing, Malaysia." Australia took hold of his finger.

"Oh yeah, wait till you don't receive any palm oil or rubber from us anymore." Malaysia had a smug smile on his face. Australia gritted his teeth.

Till today, Malaysia and Australia still have bad diplomatic relations. Malaysia not exporting rubber is a big threat, considering it is the largest exporter of rubber in the world.
