This also reminds me of a sighboard in Donggongon town not too long ago. It has since been changed after some people complain about it. Fancy a street called "Street In Front of Donggongon Town" hehehe...

mereka tak buat rujukan
memang banyak terjadi macam ni

Angie - i think I've seen that. Couldn't remember when
Written in Bahasa i think.
