Happy Merdeka Day
If I said I adore my country, I'd be a hypocrite.

Goodnight

When someone appears offline, it means they don't want to talk to anyone.

You're Fired

Finally, a proper outing (WorldStage doesn't count, that's a special occasion.) with Jaryn, Alia, Shu Lynn, Dan & Olney. Sheena's in NYC & Grace couldn't make it :( Lunch at Sakae was cheap-ER than usual (used RM40 vouchers D:) I beat up this guy called Big-Ben. In Jaryn's iTouch. Biggest accomplishment of the century. Then I attemped to weird her out with my feet under the table.
(Wow, this picture was ages ago.)
We saw Hsien Zern & Shia with their lady buddies outside the cinema being the awkward duo they were. They've gone from the two hunks from Halloween night to two wimpy boys. I'm not sure what they've been eating...or haven't been eating but they have lost weight. In a bad way. The man-ness that they should have taped to themselves jumped off the bus in front of a moving car.

Managed to get in to watch 'I love you Beth Cooper' (haha. 18pl.) cause of Vincent the counter guy. He's the guy that Dan said i quote "looks like he hates his job." The movie was good. Funny. Vulgar. It wasn't as 18pl as you'd think though. The censoring was a bit too much. The mushy scenes were so squirmy and iloveyou-youloveme. & Dennis Coogerman's nose was huge. Other than that Olney belanja-ed all of us the movie tickets. Yay!

After the movie everyone just dispersed and went home. My mom, Nick&I went to Canai15 to get some dinner before the buka-puasa crowd came in so now I'm here. Updating. On what I did today. Yup.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I got out the camera this morning during breakfast out in the patio just to take a picture of my tower. I squashed some clumps of bread into shape & voila.But then, I didn't want to go all the way back upstairs to stow away the camera so I just left it downstairs to watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona with me on DVD. It's interesting (if you minus out the part where Penelope Cruz tries to kill herself.)
Nick, my maid & I watched Miss Universe on tv. The Venezuela girl won. She was really pretty. All of them were. The type of pretty that if you saw them anywhere you'd definitely have a double-take (no matter who you were, guy or girl.) before walking on.
Mamee Monster. I was testing out the macro-bility.I don't like it when I look through the hundred of DVDs in the cupboard and I can't find at least one that I'd be interested in to watch. It's even worse when I have to watch the movie alone with a can of tuna in my hand. I smelled like fish after the movie.

Right now, I'm waiting for my mom to get back so we can go to Carrefour. I like Carrefour. I like supermarkets.P/S: I've counted 21 mosquito bites on my legs so far.

Skinned

Jaryn came over yesterday to meet up with Chrystal, Eugene, Nick & Jelly in Oldtown to get the info for the Geo&Sejarah folios. The boys are useless. They don't know squat about work. All they do is talk about Dota.
The security guards in Taylor's are useless too. We asked them where SS15/4D was and all SIX of them didn't know.
By the time I got home, I smelled. Awful.
Olney & Ruby came over to give me my birthday present. A very delayed gift. It's this puppet that walks. Fuzzy is scared shitless of it now. Nick wouldn't stop telling me that it'd come to life at midnight to torture me in my sleep. I hope not.

Remember those biscuits with the colored icing on top? I used to get them every time I went to the market with my mom. Now that we moved, I haven't eaten them for 6 years. My dad used to take Nick&I around naming the vegetables and each time I got it wrong (which was most of the time.) I'd get a knuckle-sandwich (a knock on the head with his fist.) Today, I got two knocks on the head.

How am I supposed to know the difference between long beans&french beans? They should wear mustaches.
There's this section of the market where they butcher the pork. It's red&pig heads everywhere like a gore movie. The smell is repulsive. All I see is dead.dead.dead. The heads, cut in half by the men wearing plastic aprons with a chopper in one hand and a piece of meat in the other. I'd go vegan but I don't think I'll make it through a week. I wish I were more dedicated.

When I got home, I switched on the tv & Spongebob Squarepants was playing.

Lavard Baklava

Sheena's heading off to New York at midnight. I'm going to miss her :( It's 10 days knowing that I can't contact her. While I'm busy finishing up homework she'll be walking around the Empire State building. While I'm watching tv, munching on bottomless packets of chips she'll be in Florida. Enough said. Admittedly I'm green with envy but no worries, someday I will go to NY. I will be one of those tourists that stare agog at the buildings, getting lost, looking at the map, have trouble getting a cab & eat a hotdog from the roadside carts.
On the way to eat Pan Mee for lunch after school.
I went for another pedicure. I love the CLEAN feeling of my feet after everything is done. The nail room was near Bangsar Shopping Village so we went to The Outback Steakhouse to eat some cheese fries&mushrooms :) Before, we walked past this sweets shop called Lavand. The Baklava Shop. but then we laughed about it in the steakhouse the whole time over and over again.

I've got this stack of homework & books in my room waiting to be finished. Plus, I'll be going out with Jaryn, Chrystal, Nick & Jelly tomorrow to finish up both the Geography and History projects. Jelly won't stop talking about what to eat for lunch.
"Lunch is good."

Words of wisdom from Jelly.

Read the end.

Got an email from my dad the other day.

A 85-year-old man went to his doctor's office to get a sperm count.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said,
"Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow."


The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave
him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained:
"Well, doc, it's like this - First I tried with my right hand, but nothing.
Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.

Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand,
then her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth,
first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing.
We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too,
first with both hands, then an armpit and she even tried
squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing."

The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?"

The old man replied, "Yep. And no matter what we tried,
we still couldn't get the jar open."

What were YOU thinking?

It's a Stage

Yesterday? Oh god. Yesterday was EPIC. I loved it. Except for the part where people started pushing, shoving, not being able to breath in the squeeze of humans, body slamming against sweaty fat guys, trapped under a thin sheet of plastic that they expected us to use as a raincoat, losing my phone, being screamed in the ear by some crazed fan, (I'm guilty of that too.) having to be carried out over the barricades by a guard just to escape the sea of people (15000 over people showed up.) & sweating like a really sweaty thing. Other than that, it was completely awesome :)

Alia picked me up after 12 and we saw Mr Chew driving in his car! We met up with Sheena, Danielle & Yoke Shan for lunch at Tokyo G. This guy (I think he was the manager.) in a too-tight t-shirt kept coming to our table to ask us about our meals & trying to make conversation. It was unnecessary. Phillipe showed up after a bit. Sushi is expensive.

After collecting our tickets, we had to sit under the hot hot HOT sun, on bricks of fire with a few umbrellas & our bare backs to the sunlight waiting in line for the gates to open to get into the Lagoon. So toasty. It was about an hour or more before it opened & all of us ran (yes, the real deal of sprinting past 20 people at a time down the escalator.) to the Surf Beach just to get a spot up front.Hehehaha, hi Intan.

When we got up front, it was another 2 hours before the thing even started so we had to stand-sit-squat there for under the sun & rain. The smell of boys is not sweet. There were these three guys in front of us (blocking our view.) who were pouring with sweat. At first, I didn't notice the smell. They smelled like boy. Next time I smelt them (I only smelt them to check.) it was like phwoar! The odor of bodies.Estranged performed first. Not as bad as we thought. I guess we kind of degraded them cause they were local.
Next came BOYS LIKE GIRLS.
All of us sang along word-for-word to every song. It was THE best rendition of Thunder ever! Must have been the 15000 back-up singers in the pool.
I took a random snap behind me to see how many people were already there. That's not even a fraction of the number of people that turned up. If I wanted a clear shot of everyone there, I'd have needed a helicopter.
Martin climbed on the beams for the last song.
I like Raygun, they're not so bad. They sound kind of Country to me though.
Pixie Lott performed after Raygun. I didn't get any pictures of her. We were too far away from the stage and I am shorter than foreigners.
During the Hoobastank performance all of us couldn't stand the heat & smoke (there were chain smokers EVERYWHERE.) so we went to the back of the back where there was this huge screen showing the performance. Beside the screen hung two lights that Dan&Sheena told me were called the loser lights. They'd start blinking at random any time just so the people at the back could experience some of the action up front. It was miserable but all of us could just sit there to catch up with all that happened cause at one time, Alia&I lost Dan&Sheena. & Vice versa.

Butbutbut, when they started to play The Reason we ran up towards the crowd to join music.

The All-American Rejects came after Hoobastank.
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you, You wanna touch me too.
Their last song was THE song of the night. Everyone there sang along.

& Tyson was covered in glitter!Kasabian ended the entire concert.
Oh dear, Kasabian. I love Kasabian! In the beginning it was "Kasabian who?" Now I can't get enough of them.

I remember, there were this group of boys infront of us during the performance. One of them climbed up onto his buddy's shoulders but next thing we knew, he was on the ground and there was a ruler-length rip in the back of his jeans. We laughed. He was embarassed. It was funny :)
The amount of raincoats, fans, empty bottles & cans left after the everything ended is breathtaking.
Today? I went to Ipoh to look at my grandfather, eat the best noodles in the world & see two dogs getting it on in someone's house. My little cousins were there to witness it too cause we stopped my the roadside to eat some mah chit. The stall is run by this old couple outside their house and they own two rottweilers. All of us children laughed in the car all the way back to my grandpa's house.

We bought some free chicken before going home. The free chicken is this prank my dad&I came up with. Last year, my mom went out somewhere while we were in Ipoh to go get some egg tarts. My dad&I swung by to this shop where they sell salted chicken. When my mom got back she asked us where we got it from. "It was free. This lady just came up to the car and gave it to us." She fell for it.

School re-opens tomorrow. I'm not too excited about it but whatever, holidays start the week after that anyway :) Goodnight.
