Disappointment

Yes. Disappointment was what i felt when i saw my "pizza" arrive at my table. I went to the Curve again and after much wandering around on The Street, i settled in this classy little italian cafe-restaurant called the La Gourmet House, which serves quite a nice delicious stew. But i was dismayed to find out that they no longer serve their grandma stew. So while waiting for Cow, who was stuck in jam in LDP Snailway, me and Nico decided to order a pizza. And this item caught our attention.


10. Folded Mediterranean and Makarash Pizza
Flavourings are folded into the pizza dough instead of being placed on top. It's surprising and delicious!

Something like that la. And i was so captivated by the cosy jazzy ambience of the restaurant and the description of the pizza (surprising!) so i ordered it. When it arrived i saw this 4 slices of double crusted pizza, with flavourings inside. And their flavourings turned out to be tomatoes, carrot strips, black olives, some wrinkly mushroom, and raisins. Oh my goodness. It was rather sour, yet tasteless. V.v. bad. Their pizza crusts were wonderfully crispy, i admit, but the rest was just horrible. Vege Pizza! Man! Nico was saying, "eh. There's no meat inside here leh.."
No meat!! What kinda pizza has no meat? It's not ethical. We're purely carnivorous, man. "We should go report to the persatuan pengguna!"

We were supposed to order other stuff when Cow arrived but the pizza turned us off so we paid up and scarpered. Oh. La Gourmet House actually serves very delicious food. Their bruschetta are heavenly. Just.. Don't order the wrapped pizzone thing. Bleargh.

So anyway, we shifted to Italiannies to further continue our foodscapade. We shared this Chicken Arrabiatto thingy which was rather grotesque. It was like those tomato based spaghetti, except that there were four enormous pieces of fried breaded chicken on top. Apart from chicken, the rest of the spaghetti sucked. The sauce was just too sour >.<.. And once again, Italiannies serves very delicious food. Their salmon fettucinne is heavenly. Just... Don't order the Chicken Arrabiatto thing. Bleargh.

Damn!

Urgh. Am dying here.

The Internet disruption is driving me nuts. Apparently there was an earthquake in Taiwan that ruined some international links.

I can't log in to MSN!

Bleargh!!

Golden Flower

Ah! After much anticipation, i finally went to see Curse of the Golden Flower @ CineLeisure (people, CineLeisure's popcorn is fucking mind-blowing. go eat it. it's divine!) with my family and Ronnie.

Overall, the movie was great. That is.. The censored version was great. As usual the more exciting scenes are cut out, much to the public's dismay/anger/outrage/disappointment etc. etc... My parents haven't been to the cinema for donkey's years, and obviously were not accustomed to the rules of the cinema (whatchoo doooing?! turn that mobile offfff *bang*). Dad was blatantly pointing at Jay Chou, saying, "wah. hey he's holding the guan gong spear!" with Mum responding with "where?" while i sat there, mortified. It's ironic. I've been raving on and on about movie spoilers and my parents turned out to be... It's like a anti-drug officer whose son got caught smoking marijuana until his brains fried and his balls shrunk. Oh well. They weren't actually spoiling the movies hor.. Hehe. =P

Man i tell you. They must've had a hard time finding a bunch of girls with jugs the size of basketballs. Damn.. Each one of the dayang-dayangs in the palace looked as if they had 2 pomelos strapped to their chests, then squashed together by push-up dayang-dayang costumes to form obvious cleavages visible a mile away.

Sis was beside herself when Jay Chou, the prince, appeared brandishing his guan gong spear left right and centre. She kept gushing "Ohh!! Jay Chou!!" while at the same time sticking her hands into my pack of popcorn. But some of the scenes were so magnificent i think sis could've died. It was like gold vs. black. And they died and died like falling chrysanthemums in the wind. Ooh. So majestic. =P Absolutely thrilling.

********************
Discovered that the Curve is actually quite a funky place to hang out around. There's this The Street there, which is a street full of restaurants. V. atmospheric. Must go there one day.

damn. this is horrible. sis went out with ron. mum and dad are out. and am stuck at home! No!!

pathetic la. am a KL-ite. should be out counting down!!

****************
went for aunt Heko's Christmas Lunch as usual. Was back-breakingly freaky as usual, having to pretend to be a perfect gentlemen with wonderful table manners. Ah well. I got a eau de toilette thingy as a present. And it smells much better than the one dad lent me (grotesque).

dragged dad off to see some handphones just now. i need a new one. i want a new one. yes.

p.s. finally defeated Mateus the Corrupt in FF12. Am overjoyed!

Argh!!!

Not for the last time, am bored!! It's now 4.15 in the morning and am hunched up in an unorthodox position on a chair, typing feverishly and running over a list of various disadvantages and dire consequences of leading an unhealthy nocturnal life. Bleargh! Just two days ago i woke up at 5a.m. feeling really high and decided to play Final Fantasy. But i discovered that sis was awake too (night owl family. it runs in the blood) so i spent around 2 hours being her counsellor + psychology doctor before forcing her to go buy McDonald's Breakfast with me at the 24hr Drive Thru at Bandar Utama Centre Point (i drove there btw, and i freaked sis out coz it was really dark and i couldn't see the road properly and kept banging recklessly into potholes).

Holidays are gonna be even more boring after this coz many of my friends will be buggering off on happy and jovial christmas vacations while i am stuck here in this hellhole, feeling a virulent mixture of jealousy, envy, and outrage. My usual DotA friends are not around anymore. Melv flew off yesterday to Egypt (the most unChristmassy place to visit, but nevertheless interesting). Fish has classes in Uniten. Ennie's gone away to Tasmania. Danny's backpacking through Europe. Brown Bear will be going to North China tomorrow to experience the wintry frosts (now i have to go to gym myself). Urgh!!

Ah well. Yean May called just now in the afternoon while (and she was scandalized to discover) i was still sleeping, informing me about a movie outing on Friday! Whee. At least something to look forward to.

Eragon

Went to watch Eragon today. And despite all the hype about it, the movie turned out to be just so-so. Not great.

The movie has a little bit of everything, but just not enough. There was little (close to none) humour used in the movie apart from "expected you to be more..... well, more". All the action and fighting in the movie was just sad, few slashes here, a burst of magic there, nothing much. The war featured in the movie was sad too, coz the dragon just spat some fire and whoosh, that's it. And the most annoying part is.. No romance. Am not a fan of lovey dovey scenes lah.. But the only thing the main character kissed was his dragon's scaly snout. According to the book, there was some sorta chemistry between the elf-Arwen-lookalike and Eragon. But the most intimate scene they had was her wearing his armor for him. That's wrong!! Urgh!!

Ok lah. The movie might be nice to some people, but it's hard not to be biased coz my Eragon movie experience was terrible. Y'see. I was sharing a cinema with some fucked-up idiots. One of them was sitting behind me. Every 2-3 minutes or so, he would give one large exclamation of "HAH!" Not "huh", not "hah!", but "HAH!" When he first did it, i thought he was clearing his throat or something. Then it happened again. And again. And again throughout the movie. And each time he did it, i lost concentration on the movie. I was trying hard to turn around and ask him to shut the fuck up. Didn't know what he was doing la. Crazy fella. In addition to the HAH!-ing asshole, there was a row of giggling girls sitting on my right. Giggle giggle. Giggle. Man! And there was no romantic scenes in the movie for them to giggle at! What the hell? Giggle? Wanted to slap them one by one. *Slap* 'Ow!' 'Giggle somemore la, u whore!'

So. To hell with people who spoil my movies!! May they rot there like a heap of flesh!!

Y'know.. Sometimes it feels good to bitch about hateful people.

Now i feel good. Good enough to continue about the HAH guy. Apparently Cow stuck around after the movie to have a good look at HAH. So when we went bowling after that, Cow pointed out that HAH was bowling too. And the five of us joked about going near him and yelling HAH everytime he bowled. LoL!

p.s. Bowling sucked. I lost terribly to the bunch of chattering aunties on the next lane, all of whom, had more than 110+ total scores. X(

p.p.s. Finally got myself arsed up enough to play Final Fantasy 12. After a few hours of gruelling training, i managed to increase Balthier's, Fran's and Ashe's levels by 2 to 28! Whee. What a huge achievement huh? =)

!!!

Holidays are turning out to be boring as ever! And to prove it, i went out for late-lunch-early-dinner (lunner? or dinch?) with Dad. Normally i would've stayed at home and played games. But after a week of hardcore gaming, i needed a break. So we ended up at Jarrod and Rawlins (Purveyors of Fine Food and Wine) at Sri Hartamas. Jarrod and Rawlins is a unique restaurant as they let you select what you want to eat, and how much you want, anything from a piece of ham to twenty sausages. They have this whole range of meats from which one gets to choose. Hams, bacons, sausages, steaks.. Whatever. And those displayed are raw. After you make the order, the people in charge will sizzle them into perfect, juicy and succulent pieces of food that will satisfy even the most intense of carnivorous cravings. Mmm.. Oh. And they charge a RM10 for sizzling the food, so.. it's wise to select all you want in 1 go. Asking them to cook only 1 piece of sausage for 10 bucks is stupid.

So. Dad and I shared this platter of extremely fattening, but nevertheless appetizing sausages and bacon. 7 pieces of sausages in total. 1 freaky dunno what cranberry thingy, 4 spicy chili sausages, and 2 chili dynamite sausages (flaming. tsssss. stuffed full of cili padi!). I also ordered two tiny pieces of streaky bacon and 2 pieces of shoulder bacon. Just to try. The platter came with a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes and mustard (which i did not touch). The restaurant was stacked full with wine. Wine. and more Wine!! There was a whole rack of wine there. And i think we were the only ones there lame enough to be eating food. The rest of the patrons ordered wine. Saw this ang moh woman sipping gracefully at a glass. Another man and his friend were inhaling wine-fumes indulgently. @_@" Bleargh. Anyway. After that loaded lunch, i will eat only salad for dinner tonight. =) Mum made me one for lunch but i was still asleep.

And speaking of sleeping till past lunchtime. My body clock has gone haywire as usual. It's customary for me to stay up till the wee hours of the morning during holidays. It's great, not having to wake up early in the morning, all groggy-eyed and nauseated. But then.. I slept at 9 this morning. A.m. Stayed up the entire night reading novels. At 9, after flipping through more than 600 pages of paper and minute printing of words, i felt groggy-eyed and nauseated. X( And i fell into a dead sleep swirling with confusing dreams of cars being dented, people laughing and cellphones running out of credit.

Rain!

To further dampen my holidays spirit is the rain. I mean c'mon! It's practically pissing with rain everyday. As i type out my words here on Blogger, there is a colossal storm raging outside with streaks of rain hammering on the awnings, whooshing wind uprooting plants, thunder booming so loud that my roof is rattling and lightning threatening to sizzle my modem into one of Jarrod & Rawlin's sausages. Terrible. I have better turn off my comp now. A thunder-struck modem is gonna add a load of misery to my holidays.

Oh and as a small p.s. Ron is back! Sis went to fetch him earlier this morning. Hehe. S'been a long time.

Layout!

Aha! Just changed my blog layout. Turns out it is really very simple. After getting some help from Old Bean Wing Hoh (i owe ya one. ) i changed my blog orange! Whee. Finally picked something sensible from BlogSkins. Most of the skins there are 50% suitable. Everytime i pick a funky and artsy one that suits my liking, i discover that, after enlarging it, there are images of anime characters locked together in a disgusting embrace. No!

Urgh. There is, however, something wrong with this layout, as it does not show the title of my posts. I have to type it out myself. Ah. No big deal anyway. Whee. Ink Blot is squirting orange ink now. Or rather.. White ink. C'ya people. :D

1 Utama

This is my most visited mall ever. Have been to it for no less than 500 times in my entire life. Have been going there for the past few days.

First i went to watch DejaVu. Which is, unbelievably, about time travel. Urgh. Strangely enough, this is a very cool version of a time travel film. The very idea of travelling back into the past is ludicrous as ever, as every action done can result in complex consequences (for instance A pours water in floor. B slips on water and dies. C sees B die and falls into trauma. And A is sued for pouring water. And families of A, B and C suffers. So it's a chain reaction. ehe). But in Deja Vu they seemed to have incorporated some realistic explanations in the storyline to make it as if it was possible.

Just earlier on today i went to 1 Utama once again to have lunch with Danny the Boy, and Ernie the Pianist on Ecstasy. A bunch of people were supposed to come, but cancelled last minute. So. The 3 of us. And we ended up in Dave's. Dave's as in Dave's. Not Dave's Deli. Dave's is a divine and atmospheric restaurant, and am lovin' it! So i ordered their Chef's Signature dish the cream carbonara with bacon and fettucinne. Mmmm.. Oh... It was heavenly. Danny ordered bolognaise with sausages and spaghetti mixed with angel hair. Ennie ordered this platter of sausages. For dessert i got myself a mouth-watering tiramisu while the other 2 shared apple crumble. We decided to describe the dessert as.. orgasmic. Mmph! Multiple explosions! It is a wondrous experience not to be missed. =D

Graduation + Jolin

Aha!! I finally graduated from C.I.M.P. as an Honours Student. Lalala. Honours. Sounds nice. Has a funky ring to it. So you see. Despite being lazy and eternally last minute, i still scraped some good grades.

I arrived early in school to have some sorta farewell breakfast with my classmates. Was supposed to be sentimental and sad, but we ended up playing chor dai di as always, while, at the same time, refusing to donate money to Wingie's St John's Charity Conman Dinner.

Then after that we buggered off to TR4.12 to collect our gowns. LoL. Those gowns were terribly stuffy: large, sweeping and billowing black fabrics. Me and ChowLin aka Tommy were delighted to discover large sleeve-like thingies on the gown, like those in the Ancient-Chinese movies' outfits. Big long sleeves in which the characters stow loads of gold ingots that never seem to be fall out. We pretended to stuff my camera up my sleeve. Hehe. Oh and speaking of my camera.. i was blur as a sotong as usual. I left my battery in the charger and forgot to bring it along.
X( Had to call sis to bring it for me.

Anyway the graduation was typical. Bunch of speeches from this old Canadian guy (who was actually attempting to psycho us to study in Canada), Susan Cheah (horrendous, with lots of prefixes b4 her name). Elizabeth Lee gave one of her famous metaphoric speeches, this time comparing us with shiny shells on the beach. Rosemary recited, or rather, read the If poem by Rudyard Kipling. Man! That poem is sickening. Have been seeing a lot, first during form 5 english classes for SPM, then inside Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Anyway. Good of her to include it, though. Ali's speech was short and sweet, and i thank him for that. It sucks to have a droning speech that seem to last for hours.

After returning my gown and collecting my deposit money (which i do not intend to return to dad. hehe), i went wif my family to Sunway Resort for their buffet. Despite being in a 5 star hotel.. the Sun and Surf's buffet is just below average. The food is just ok, not great, not orgasmic or whatever. Just ok. I went around eating loads of mini sandwiches, which tasted good. Their chicken satay was grotesque. The taste of ginger inside was just too strong. Yux. One thing i like about it is the variety of desserts available. The stuff were attractive. A small section dedicated to dessert. Some of the little thingies' name i do not even know. Souffles? Parfait? Whatever? There was this divine chocolate mousse thing in a cup and it was fantastic. So after stuffing ourselves full, me and sis went off in search of the Kelana Jaya Stadium.

And we found it. And 3 hours later we were standing inside, watching Jolin Tsai sing her head open. The concert was sensational, secara overall. The lights were fascinating. Her voice was wonderful. The people in the crowd were screaming themselves hoarse. The fireworks that shot out of the stage were resplendent. Whhooosh! The only thing bad (apart from having to stand due to cacat tickets) was Jolin's outfits. They were simply awful. Brown sent me a website that said she was given warning to wear extra clothing (so as not to show indecent parts of body, i.e. mendedahkan aurat) in Malaysia. Man.. So first she turned up in this ultramarine knee-length leotard with a small blue skirt attached to it. Was terrible. Terrible. And she had a big blue flower on her head.. Then she put this strange bathing robe thing over the leotard and proceeded to dance with some jellyfishes. After that she changed into a puffy princess gown, which was ok la.. And next she wore this white coat in which she marched, brandishing a rifle here and there. And she stripped it off to reveal this gold top with shiny blue track pants. @_@ Finally she appeared wearing black shorts with some ostrich-esque feathery stuff behind. So as i said, overall it was good. But i think Malaysia should not be so bloody-damn conservative. So what if people showed off their legs, or cleavage. Or whatever. It's ridiculous. I mean, we didn't get to see Jolin's horse riding scene becoz of that.

Holidays

Ah. Holidays are here again. Am dead bored!! Been slouching around in my house, eating, playing games and sleeping.

Gaming
I played a few games of hero siege with Danny and Kang Wei. Hero siege is quite a sickening game involving some heroes protecting a big castle. But Danny seems to love it. Apparently there are lots of mini quests to be done during the course of the game. As well as that, i played many many many games of DotA with my usual group of friends, and got my head pawned many many many times for many many many pieces of gold. Anyway. I have yet to continue my Final Fantasy 12. Urgh! The very thought of needing to train 10 more levels on some cacat snow wolves is enough to turn me off. Well, at least i managed to plug it into the TV, and cleared all the dust caked on the console and controllers. Will resume when i feel like it. =)

Gathering
I attended a small lil' gathering with my primary school friends at Grace's house on Sat. About less than half of them turned out. But we had a good time, just sitting around, engaging in completely pointless conversations. Some of my primary school friends had some drastic changes in them. Also... We played the horrendous and dreaded Truth or Dare. Was pretty stupid la. Surprisingly the bottle they spun did not kena me. Elaine, however, got chosen quite a lot of times! Anyway the dares were not extreme (extreme as in "I dare you to run around naked", "french kiss so-and-so for 2 minutes") but were kinda embarrassing and involved a lot of lame singing and sultry moans of "Hey.. Sexy!" The truth questions were even sicker, asking people how many exes they had or how many times had they masturbated in a single day. For more information, read Grace's blog (I know, Grace! I have the pictures. But am sooo lazy to transfer them. Just gimme some time to laze around).

iPod
Aha! I finally found out how stick videos into my iPod! It's just plain ridiculous to own an iPod video for nearly 1 year and not know how to put a video inside! What's the point of getting an iPod video, but not watch videos on it?! I met Moomoocow (a.k.a. Mev) at the gathering. She had an iPod video so i interrogated her, and she sent me the converter. So all i have to do is to convert normal videos into iPod format and put it into iTunes and boom! It goes into my iPod. Whee. Maybe i can download some videos from...

LimeWire
I wonder why i didn't use this program sooner.. LimeWire is wonderful. Tired of the lousy and snail-paced BitComet's pathetic performance, i decided to download LimeWire. It's fantastic. It's so easy to search and download a song. With a snap of my finger and a click on my rodent, i get access to a huge list of songs to download from. Have already downloaded more than a dozen songs i couldn't previously find. Marvellous. But then hor.. When i type "Christina Aguilera" in the search box, i get more than just Christina's songs... Overflowing with porn as usual. Sighs. But that's not entirely a bad thing though.. Ehehe. XD

Oh Baby~!!

The. Exams. Are.. OVER!! Whee.. So anyway. I had my World Issues as a last exam today. After that, me, Kang Wei, Yeah Man, Mojojoseph, Danny, Shin Ying, and Christine buggered off to sing in Red Box.. Truth be told, i don't exactly fancy wasting my time in a dark room listening to a bunch of loons (myself included!!) sing like toads with sore throats, simultaneously watching ridiculous music videos on a tv screen. Ah. Nevertheless... It was quite an okay first experience.

After that me, Danny and Wingie Wing went to Ennie the Flute Girl's for some farewell gathering. LoL. Nothing much happened apart from some hardcore screaming of laughter, our sudden discovery of the "Sensasi Berangin Ekstrem" and "QuickPoo". I managed to secure a huge pile of junk food before coming home. Whee.

***********************************************************
OkFor some updates. Last thursday we had some incredible fun in IB and also World Issues. For WI, Scavvy sent us on his Scavvy's Scavenger Hunt, which involved me and my team (consisting of me, Khaled and Elena) doing a series of ridiculous antics.
Such as



Huggin poor Ms. Ford. (she must've gotten so irritated that she prepared a note to Scavvy.)

and




Pretending to steal something from the bookstore (and in the process, raising suspicious and incredulous looks from the store owners)



Soaking my hair...



and... Doing handstands in the lift..

Ah well. We did not win anyway. But it was great fun! And the also, we had to find real blond hair. There was this poor blond girl who got approached a gazillion times, and was so totally exasperated when we asked her for her hair. "I'm going bald!"

2 Down

World Issues. Bring it ON!

Wooohahahaha!!!!

Christmassss!!

Y'know it's only November but i can feel Christmas in the air. Was ambling aimlessly in 1-U after a particularly rigorous and painful gym session (have not been there for 2 weeks X( blame it on the ISUs) when i saw a huge pile of Christmas decor loaded in a trolley in front of a shop. Throwing curious glances around, i realized that many of the shops have already erected their Christmas trees. Yup. Christmas is in the air!

Not that i have much Christmas celebrations to look forward to. Maybe only Aunt Heko's Annual Christmas dinner. Each year, there would be this fat (and really really dry) roasted and stuffed chicken. I absolutely detest dry chicken, so i normally wouldn't touch the chicken, but i would gobble the stuffing, which are goddamn marvellous! Mmm! On her heavy wooden table, there would also be banana and peach crumble, some freaky pasta, a truly massive bowl of salad drenched in olive oil + honey + dunno-what-else-dressing, shepherd's pie (v. nice.), one colossal and heavily decorated Christmas fruit cake (sickeningly sweet. sometimes drenched in rum) from some 5 star hotel, and lots and lots of red wine. Bleargh!

Aunt Heko and her bunch of cackling menopausal friends love red wine. They drink. And cackle. And speak in extremely loud boisterous voices. And bellow with laughter. I once pissed Heko off when i told her,

"I hate red wine."

"Oh. Someday you would come to like it."

"I don't think i will ever come to like it. It's gross. And it's freaking expensive. I mean, why drink red wine when u can get sparkling grape juice at 5.99 from Jaya Jusco?"

"!*@&^$!"

Of course, she made it a point to call my mum and complain about my apparent lack of sophistication, and also my katak-di-bawah-tempurung-ness.

Hmm.. I kinda miss having a Christmas tree at home. We used to have this glittering white one, on which we would hang a large number of shiny sparkling ornaments, and sprinkle bits of glitter and cotton on top. Also, we would arrange a few colourful fake presents under it. And it looked really Christmassy. But mum, who loved to throw stuff away, decided that it collected too much dust and is a waste of space and chucked it out. LoL. But then again... if you think on the negative side.. It is frickin annoying to be meticulously hanging plastic angels and horns and shiny balls on branches. Even more so when u need to clear up the cotton and glitter, that seem to cling on to the branches for an eternity. So. The best way is to just marvel at Christmas trees in shopping centres. =P

Sleep!!

Woah.. For the second time this semester, i went to college after having less than or equivalent to 1 hour of sleep. Today i slept for like 10 minutes. After administering the finishing touches to my World Issues assignment, it was nearing 5 a.m. By the time i took a bathe (and lazing inside the bathtub till i became all wrinkly like a prune) it was 5.50. I lazed around and discovered that, however lethargic i was, i couldn't fall asleep. Ended up rolling around, singing to my pillow. And 30 minutes later my maid was waking me up. X(

Sis says it's weird how i can survive going to school with no sleep at all. LoL. I think my body has some sleep-debt ability. Like what we learnt in the stupid respiration in bio, when excessive oxygen is used during strenous activities, it is considered as an oxygen debt. So i just got some sleep loan from Mr Sandman that allowed me to survive in a zombie state. Now i need to go and repay some of my debt. Nights.

Aihhhh

*dramatic sigh*

*more dramatic sighs*

As usual i am doing my assignment last minute. It's 9.45 already. It is due tomorrow. And i have not done anything. My group members' phones are off. Sighs..

Well fuck them. Will do it all by myself.

Procrastination is the thief of time, but last minute works are the best of mine!

Whoohooo!!!!

Man. How i longed for this weekend to come.

Finally. Like finally, i have handed in all my ISUs. All of them! IDC and IB. Man. I'm like a bird, i wanna fly away! Somehow, ISUs this semester required a fucking shit-load of hardwork compared to those last semester. So, with that huge weight off my cacat-ed shoulders, i can finally concentrate on my well-earned entertainment. =) Just 2 more weeks. Final Fantasy. Wait for me. Movies. Wait for me.

Speaking of movies. Caught the much-anticipated 007 Casino Royale today with my bunch of IB classmates including Yvonne Woi the Nurse and Danny New @ Sunway Pyramid. It was a freaking 2 and a half hours and ended right at 6 o clock. Me and Danny decided to go home together, but the jam and a km long queue prevented us from taking a cab. We ended up stuck in a bus (which was supposed to bring us to KL Central >> LRT >> Paramount St. or Tmn. Bahagia St.) that made a huge round over to Summit and back to Sunway Pyramid again. Fuck! And the worst part was. The journey from SyPyramid to Summit back to SyPyramid took 1 hour 20 minutes. *curses and thinks of various ways to ensure a painful + torturous death for the bus driver*. The bus driver was majorly fucked up. I tell u this. Fuck him. Pummel his balls like what Le Chiffre did to Bond! After driving us round and round some cheaplak low-cost-housing-area places, he hopped down to this mamak for ages to get a teh-ais, and possibly some fags to satisfy his nicotine-deprived body. A few stops later, he hopped down again ("U wanna go KL Central right? No Problem. Wait me 10 minutes) and went to grab a kebab. !#^$@!!!!! I was practically vomitting blood. So me + Danny couldn't stand him anymore, we got down again at SyPyramid and got a taxi home.

>.<

Urgh.. Am dying. Slowly rotting into a heap of flesh in manner Pudge 2.0 the Butcher.

Just came back from Putrajaya with Gayson and Azrul. We were supposed to go there and snap pictures of the infrastructure there to score a 4% bonus to our "create-your-own-frickin-city" assignment. Azrul (a hardcore speedster) drove us around as he was familiar with the area. Man.. Putrajaya is like some Final Fantasy city and reminds me of FFIX's Lindblum. The buildings are beautiful. Heck. Even the lamp posts were ornate with freaky flowery designs.

So we were happily snapping snap snap snap at the hospital and police station and the bus station and greenery. and suddenly sis's camera just died. Curses! Although i had already shot enough pictures to fulfill the requirements.. There were loads of beautiful structures that i missed.. Sighs..

Anyway now i have like 2 hours to kill in the SyUC computer lab. And that sucks big time. I feelike going home. X(

Woarrgh!!!

Am gonna die here... My group (Me, Faris + Colin) finally handed in the bloody IB ISU. Presentation done. Report done. Ah... A huge weight off my shoulders. Was expecting life to be a tad easier after that but i couldnt be more wrong.

Thursday is gonna be maniac day! 1 World Issues test. 1 IDC ISU presentation + report + my frickin DHL study trip. Damn damn damn! Blearggh!

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Anyway. Will be going to Putrajaya with Azrul & Gayson later to snap pictures. Yes. In order to gain a 4% (individual) bonus to our "create-your-own-frickin-city" assignment, we have to take pictures of the various forms of infrastructure in Putrajaya with our faces in the picture. -_-"
We also have the incredibly passive Ronald in our group but he did not appear today so screw him. We're ditching him! Woohahaha!!

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Will be popping back to SyUC to attend the wonderful bi-annual CIMP Talent Night! Whoopee. Hmm.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Lisa poisoned me with a piece of S³(Super Sour Sweet) but i was and am immune to Super Sour things. =D So too bad, Lisa! Faris, however, writhed about when he ate the sweet. S'like he got a hole burnt through his tongue or something. =D

Woah!!

Today.. was a freaky day.

I went for community service at an old folk's home.

I drove mum's CR-V to Sunway College to supposedly rendezvous with my classmates, but ended up driving (and terrorizing) 4 of them, while 2 more followed behind (both, whom i assume, were vomiting blood throughout the journey).

The chaotic journey began with me, the car, Old Bean, Yeah Man, Kang Wei and Mojojoseph bouncing over the multitude of bumps that littered the roads leading to and fro Sunway College. Minutes later we were caught in a sickening traffic jam on the LDP, which was overflowing with cars. Old Bean, who was giving directions, led me on various roads I have and have not driven on until we reached Petaling Jaya's Old Town. Oh. And I got lots of horrified remarks during the car-ride, most of them from Old Bean. Stuff like "not so close to that treeee!!" and "chill, wei shiarn. chill" and "I’m gonna puke" and "don't go so close to the curb!" Was quite a nightmare.

The home GT Heritage Home was a truly elusive place. It is situated on 2/29. We went round and round in circles in that housing area in Old Town and found 2/27, 2/28, 2/30 but no 29… Eventually Old Bean got hold of some Sister Mary's number and she directed us to the home, which is just a bungalow with a little less than a dozen people residing in it.

2/29's entrace was partially barred by this awful rapist van and an old rusted cream-coloured Mini. Being the newbie driver I was, I couldn't get through the small gap. After much reversing and braking, I was stuck and blocked the route. So I employed the expertise of Kang Wei to deftly weave the car through the gap. And of course, during the process, the couple Yin Fan + Chow Lin following behind were repeatedly honked by annoyed drivers.

The person in charge of the old folk's home was this irritable woman whom i referred to as Miss Mdm Woman Lady and Leng Lui. Her name, we later discovered, was Audrey Santiago, and she told us to paint the walls at the rear part of the home. Bahh! I was expecting to have some insightful and pleasant conversations with kindly elderly people who would tell us about the horrifying WW2 and possibly the cruel Japanese during the Jap Occupation, or to have a refreshing game of chess with skilled old people, but no. We had to paint walls. Grotesque greying walls stuck with bits of green moss and lizard dung.

But I have to admit.. Painting is rather fun, even more so when you get to hear Kang Wei squealing every now and then for dripping paint either on his face, nose, or shirt. Eventually we managed to cover 3 walls and a stretch of drain cover (as in penutup longkang) and scored 3 hours of community hours.

!

Hardcore food overconsumption today. Let's see. What did i eat...

@ KLCC:

1 piece chicken chop + black pepper sauce + fries + grotesque mixed vege,
1 cup (regular, TGV standard) 100 Plus,
1 McDonald's chicken burger with lettuce and thousand-island-esque salsa sauce,
Approximately 14 triangles of Chacho's Cheesey Cheese nachos,
1 cup (large, TGV standard) Coke,
1 plate of divine Mdm Kwan Nasi Lemak (menge-store-kan lemak pada badan anda),
1 bowl of Mdm Kwan Cendol (which i think is sucky compared to those roadside stalls).

So after KLCC i went off to Zouk, in which i did not consume any food or beverages for about 3 hours. So when i got back to PJ, i pestered dad to bring me for supper!

@ Ming Tien Tmn Megah (all on dad! =D):

2 pieces of tissue-paper-thin Penang apom (thingy. not so sure about spelling),
Approximately 4 pieces of thicker Penang apom securing corn/banana,
1 pot of claypot chicken + 1cm² salted fish,
Approximately 1 gallon watermelon juice,
7 pieces of 锅贴 (pot stickers.. erm.. fried dumplings),
Half a piece of crunchy carbohydrate from dad's mee jawa.

@ Home:
1 piece of red bean bun (mistook it as chocolate bun.. -_-"),
1 piece of brazil nut.

Ah... Mm.. Food! Y'know. People really live to eat. Imagine life without nice food! Can u imagine a long life just to subsist on milk and bananas? and lettuce and tomatoes? Holy fuck. I'd rather die. Yes. Die instead of living in rabbit-food torturous hell! Die! Allow me to demonstrate.



Uwaaarghh!! Slit my wrist! Blood is spraying out! (hehe. my wrist. not my blood.)

Halloween

Was halloween yesterday. We were supposed to dress up in costumes but i had none. Initially i wanted to put on something multi-coloured in manner of rainbow boy (coz i had a rainbow-coloured pair of fans, and also a psychedelic slinky), but i couldn't find any colourful piece of clothing to match those accessories.. So in the end i brought a roll of black sugar paper to make a witch's hat.

Anyway, my witch's hat turned out to look more like a dunce cap.


Me (Dunce) with Kikilala the Fairy

Faris was dressed up like a complete military dude (he claims to be a terrorist..). Kikilala was a fairy, wearing some freaky wingy thingys. Kourosh came with a gorilla mask, and Lung² wore some grotesque rubber mask which was totally stinky.

During IB class, Colin suggested me to fold the dunce cap up a bit. Which i did, and in the process creased it up and bent it to the back to create a perfect wizard's hat! Voila!


Me (Wizard), Kikilala the Fairy, and Colin the Red Devil (notice he's wearing some fairy antennae but his horny red hair is like the devil)

Ms Woi was dressed up as a kinky nurse, with a small pink dress and white knee-length boots! And she came equipped with her little torture kit containing fake blood, which she drew on our hands. I poured a line of it across my wrist to appear suicidal. Man, i tell you. The fake blood looked real. LoL. Will ask her where did she get em.

She also made a fake Jack O' Lantern using newspapers, and gave us all treats.
=D Fun! I got some sorta Maltesers stuff. Nips or something.


Our class picture. I am behind trying to hex Shahin into a frog.


Another variation, with me attempting to jinx Kavitha into a raccoon =D

Ahh!

For the first time. I drove to Sunway College today. Unaccompanied. Wheee!

Would have been a better experience, but i was half-dead due to lack of sleep (1 hour sleep between 5.30 to 6.30).

Holidays

Sighs. Sighs. My holidays are coming to an end.

I spent the last 10 days in the most unproductive manner. I sat at home. I ate (subsisted mostly on milk, bread, peanut butter). I played games (and got KO-ed / GameOver-ed / my Head Pawned countless times), I slept. And i played more games.

I made some abortive plans with Nico to catch some movies.

I made some abortive plans with Siao Ming and Mojojoseph to so sth with the torturous IDC ISU.

and now there's something wrong with my body clock. For the past few days i've been sleeping at 4am, and waking up 11 hours later.

************************************
Things i have done "right" during the hols:

  • Managed to train my FF12 characters to level 23 (on average).
  • Convinced mum that, however beautiful they are, her lillies are actually smelly, not fragrant.
  • Went to gym 5 times (not merely to blow aircond and listen to headache-inducing trance music).
  • Managed to sleep a lot (to regenerate my body for the oncoming weeks of ISU onslaught).
  • Managed to celebrate mum's birthday.
  • Convinced dad that he has to buy flowers for mum eventhough she has her smelly lillies.
  • Managed to try Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza, which is not bad. Satisfactory.
  • Completed DHL Case Study for Yvonne Woi and submitted on time via Sunway Blackboard.
Oh that reminds me. Will be going to DHL for a study trip! Fun. The initial destination of San Francisco Coffee would have been much better, but who am i to complain eh?

************************************************
Dad is completely against my choice of painting my new room black. -_-"
He's totally superstitious.. Hmm.. Best not to worry. Have 2 months++ break after CIMP to design my ideal room.

Now i have to focus on CIMP! and CIMP! S'good that WI has no ISU. Saves me some time. Phew

Aaaaargh!!

Final Fantasy 12 is driving me nuts! Throughout the game, i got Game Over-ed no less than 10 times! It requires so much training.. Vomit blood. Worst part is that they do not tell you that you need to train. One area you will find a bunch relatively weak monsters that you can kill will a few strikes. Then just one zone away, you get your ass kicked like no tomorrow, and Game Over! Baaa!!

Normally i get killed by bosses. But yesterday my entire party got wiped out by some normal creatures in the Stilshrine of Miriam. I was horrified and went to check for guides @ gamefaqs.com. Turned out i should have at least a base level of 30-35. But most of my characters are at 22-25. Holy crap ass!

****************************************************

Anyway, we went to celebrate mum's birthday at a seafood restaurant called Coconut Flower. Situated in some god-forsaken place i did not know how to go to, it sells a wide variety of tasty and delicious seafood. Truth be told, i really do not fancy seafood all that much. I don't have that zeal. Initially mum suggested that we go for hi-tea or something, so i got really excited and anticipated a visit to a beautiful and classy hotel. Unfortunately for me, mum went all emo and crazy and changed her mind in the last minute. Sighs.

Ah well. Coconut Flower wasn't all that bad lah... The place is quite atmospheric, with exuberant trees planted in the vicinity. Their salted chicken was divine. As was their Teochew Style steamed pomfret. And there was this absolutely fantastic salted egg prawn, which i did not consume (allergic to prawns. they make my lips swell like angelina jolie)...
T_T I Love Prawns!!! Oh god. Why punish me so? Sighs..
