LZ: Hi and welcome again, Big Chief WanaKissALot!

BCW: Glad be back.

LZ: I notice that your granddaughter, Pockahonta is not joining us today

BCW: Yes, she gone home on kiyekiya.

LZ: She took a train home? <thinks maybe keretapi?>

BCW: No. Big iron bird.

LZ: I see, and what about you? Are you gonna be riding your horse home?

BCW: No. Horse killed in skirmish with Mohiccans.

LZ: Mohiccans? Aren’t they kinda extinct, chief?

BCW: Nope. Still around. But mainly in central America now.

LZ: <This guy must be off his rocker>

LZ: Anyway, Chief, did you say skirmish earlier?

BCW: Yes, skirmish.

LZ: That’s a big word.

BCW: Big chief….use big words of course. Battle/scuffle/altercation/fisticuffs. No heard of word?

LZ: Err…yes. But, but, my…your lexicon is pretty good.

BCW: Big Chief WanaKissALot has widest lohiccon in all the tribes! <thumps chest>

LZ: Lohiccon? <Man, he’s really losing it>

BCW: Yes. Big lohiccon. Can say many words. Boobastic words.

LZ: You mean bombastic words, sir.

BCW: Yes, that too.

LZ: Hmm…lohiccon = lexicon

LZ: Waaaaiiitaminnit…that means mohiccan = ….

LZ: Mexican!!!

BCW: Of course!

BCW: Are you bimbo? Everyone knows about what happened to those guys.

BCW: Never read James Fenimore Cooper?

LZ: If it ain’t for this friggin chat show and Grandpa Daryl…<quietly mutters under her breath>

LZ: Okay okay. Back to the horse. What happened?

BCW: Got stabbed by dagger meant for me.

LZ: Thrown by the “mohiccans”? <See, I’m catching on to the lingo here>

BCW: Nope. Thrown by fellow sioux brave disguised as enemy.

LZ: Oh, it must have been an accident then. Everybody knows how popular and well-loved you are among the Sioux.

BCW: Don’t think so. On dagger was stuck a piece of paper with writing on it.

LZ: Writing on it? What did it say?

BCW: “Twist to remove”.

 

Trust Grandpa Daryl to be acquainted with such celebrities. Credits to him for the interview.

P.S.: If you have no idea what’s going on, worry not. This post is merely here to befuddle your mind. Thank you for your time.

*Bows to audience, looks left and right, zooms out before any angry mob of readers catch her and blast her into smithereens*

 Toodles.

Random.

February 25, 2009 at 2:52 PM (Just random., One Of Those Moments When I Couldn't Help But Blog., You know I'm bored when...)

I got an interesting email from Peivithra today. Take a look:

 

Read this. It is a 99.95% challenge that u will have a wrong answer to the
question asked in the passage.

 

Once there was loving couple traveling in a bus in a mountainous area.
They decided to get down at some place. After the couple got down at some
place the bus moved on. As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus
from the mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on board was
killed.
The couple upon seeing that, said, “We wish we were on that bus” Why do you think they said that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer:

If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down, the
resulting time delay could have been avoided and the rock would have
fallen after the bus had passed!

 

And I thought it makes perfect sense, although, I have some doubts on my own. If the bus passed the place without stopping, and the huge rock fell from the mountain anyway, wouldn’t the rock come tumbling after the bus, which would eventually hit the bus somehow? *scratches head* I honestly can’t answer this.

Toodles.

The many events that I haven’t blogged about. Lol.

February 23, 2009 at 3:03 PM (National Choir, The Weekends, Those really long posts...again.)
Tags: , , , , , , ,

It seems that I have quite a number of events to blog about, starting from Valentine’s weekend. So I suppose this would be another long blog post, and hopefully I would insert some pictures just so I won’t bore you readers to death. (Seriously, I have no idea who would really read such long posts without first jumping off a cliff, lol.) Ok, well Valentine’s gotta be the most annoying day throughout the year! (Yes, I just realized this seeing I usually don’t go out on Valentine’s) This year is probably the first time I encounter it on a Saturday and it just so happens that my friends decided to do some little outing for dearest Sze Min. :) Anyway, Jeff decided to come along and all of us had a splendid meal at Pancake House (again!!) Yes, I suspect the waiters all recognized us by now. Anymore and he would know each of our names. Har har. So then, after lunch, as usual we girls and guy went ‘exploring’ Pavilion. As you already know, there were God knows how many hundreds of couples there, blocking our road. Hmph! We went into Tangs because we were attracted by the display of TEDDY BEARS! And many other little thingies that they have on display there.  I almost couldn’t breathe with the crowd all around me! I was playing with this little black puppy soft toy and Jeff came and busy-bodied. I held it up to him and he was like almost sniffing it. Then I suddenly remembered, pulled it back and went, ‘Jeff, it’s a soft toy!’ And then, he went crap! Rubbed his nose and quickly got out of there. XDXD! Darn funny. He can forget his own allergy. Poor guy. We got out of there as the crowd was getting in our way, then we lepak-ed more. I actually can’t remember what we did! I mean, I do, vaguely, but to remember the exact order…OH! Now I remember. We went camwhoring in Parkson’s bathroom. -.- Well, you can’t blame us girls, we were told that the restroom there was supposedly like heaven, so we curious people (minus Jeff, of course) went to have a look. Ooooh! It was beautiful! It was like a studio! Lemme show you the pictures later. :D And *ahem*, our curiosity got the best of us, we went into the Nappy Room. Which of course, we shouldn’t have, but as you know, curious. SO….we went in..and camwhored ourselves silly….and then suddenly, this lady opened the door, and we quickly dashed out of there..and you should’ve seen her face! And the face of another lady when she saw about 9 of us with our faces red, and heads hung quickly walking out of there. When we got out of there, safely, we were all almost in fits of giggles about what happened and we were all like OMG you should’ve seen her FACE! She must be wondering what the heck we were all doing in a NAPPY ROOM. HA HA HA! We are so retarded. Tee hee. In short, we actually camwhored and ate a lot. Lol. Seriously, we went for some dessert like…after that! I wasn’t feeling for sweet stuff so I had Jasmine tea with Sze Min. We drank ourselves silly! Nyahahahahahah! We left after that, and I hung around with Jeff, waiting for his family to come pick us up for dinner. :) We were supposed to go to Road House Grill but GOD! There were lines OUTSIDE the door of Road House Grill. And there wasn’t an ala carte menu. It was all Valentine’s menu. Hmph! No doubt it’d be expensive and all those set meals for two rubbish. Lol. But you should’ve seen the LINE at Victoria Station. THE LINE!!! There were PEOPLE queued up for dinner, and not just 3 or 4 couples. There were probably like…15 couples out there!!! Are they insane or what?? It was close to 9 maybe at that time?? And they’re still lining up???? Seriously?! They must’ve been hardcore Valentine’s fan. What so biggie about Valentine’s?? (I sound like some anti – V day person now). But we quickly switched to on-the-spot formed Plan B, which was Korean food! Whee~! Didn’t make much of a difference seeing that each place was also PACKED like sardine in cans! I was getting all jittery with the crowd and we were hungry and you know. FINALLY, we got a place in one of the Korean restaurants. We were pretty lucky. :D ! And the food was good! The BBQ lamb, beef and unagi. Even if I don’t usually take unagi but I had a little and it was pretty good. Oh no! I had EEL!!!!! AHHHHH!!! Okok, snap out of it. Well, that wrapped up the night quite nicely, even though we had some complications before that. Oh, and I got a lovely puppy teddy from Jeff. :) It was very sweet of him. Hehehe. Such a long post just for Valentine’s itself.

 

 

 

Well, right after the weekends, I got busy with choir. We had a performance for Anugerah Seniman Negara at Shangri-La Hotel on Wednesday, so we were busy with rehearsals and what not. On the day itself we performed splendidly, I have to say. Nyahahahahahaha. We all looked good. :P ! The Agong and his Queen was present for the Anugerah. Tan Sri Jins Samsuddin was named the eighth recipient of the Seniman Negara award that night.

Last Saturday, we had a workshop at MPO. Most choir members were encouraged to go, even though they told us beforehand that they don’t expect much from this workshop seeing that it was only a 2-hour thing. Also we performed in front of the public, sort of like an impromptu performance after the 2-hour “workshop”. So much for it being a workshop, all we did was like note-bashing and a quick run-through of the 4 songs. There were other school choirs present. There were some people there who were really…oh, I don’t know what’s that word. Never mind, they’re not worth detailing about. Anyway, we all sorta agreed that…it wasn’t really worth going for, but it was done. And besides…our little ‘performance’ was pretty lousy. I’m pretty sure the clapping was all out of politeness seeing that there was an English man as the workshop master who was our conductor for the day. You know, come to think about it…I’m not sure what the workshop was for, really. *brows furrowed* Why did we go, again?? Lol. Sad. Then, after that, those choir members who went for Konsert Jelajah last year assembled at IB. We were to convoy for our choir party. It was Kak Marina’s sister’s house. Huge house. And quite far too. We started the party around 9pm. Before that, the girls took about 2 hours to get ready, make up and all. It was a masquerade party or some sort. I didn’t have the time to go hunt for a costume, so I just settled for my black dress. I would’ve taken on the role of a witch, if I could find the hat and all. Plus it seems that my make-up was simply too pretty for a witch. Nyahahahahhaa. Cik Syafinaz surprised us all with her costume. She turned up in a JUBAH!!! Lol! Fattah lifted his hands and went, “Cik Syafinaz sudah bertaubat!” LOL! It was so funny. Kak Nelly was really good, all dressed as Cleopatra. Her make-up was powerful too. Really playing to her role. Abang Amri came as Jack Sparrow, the pirate. He won King of the Night. And Kak Nelly was Queen of the Night. Hehehehe. We had games like Simon Says, Sebut Nama Kawan, and Charades. We had two more games, but we didn’t have time to play them as it was already midnight by then. Then we were supposed to have a dance thing, but the stupid player won’t read any CD. When we gave up, the player started working again. -.- It must’ve been a sign. Lol. We had a gift exchange event too. I got a boxful of chocolates! Just the right gift for me! I was glad. :D ! Hehehe. By 1am, we were still not moving and I was getting calls from my mom and me getting all tensed up and worried. I was worried about my dad being worried, and I couldn’t stop pacing around the house. By 1 something AM, I knew I was screwed when my mom starts bombarding my phone with calls. The entire choir knew about my predicament, but still, we were moving quite slow. God, if I had wings, I would’ve flown home and wouldn’t have to worry. Then again, teleporting myself sounds like a better idea. In the end, Kak Marina decided to send me home. I was the only one in the group who has a curfew. :S! By 2 am, we finally left the house. I got home around half past 2. Dad was not amused, and I silently crept up to my room. I think he’s just gonna ban me from going for any parties from choir or something like that. Oh well.

So, yeah, that sums up my weekend. More or less. Now I’m back to work, and will upload the pictures tonight. :D ! Just hope I remember and not get too lazy to do it. :P !

 

Cheers.

The Weekend before Valentine’s.

February 13, 2009 at 10:43 AM (National Choir, The Weekends)
Tags: , , , , , , ,

Dear Readers,

 

Forgive me for the long absence (honestly, a week isn’t very long, but it might be, for avid bloggers, and since I’m so – called aspiring to be one, it would be long. Lol). I was ill, probably was in the worst state I’ve ever been, and hence I was online til a couple of days ago. Even then, I didn’t really have the energy to blog. It annoys me, the fact that on Saturday, I was still well, and on Sunday morning, I was still too! But by Sunday afternoon, I was getting the hot and cold feeling and my head was spinning…and I went…”Damn. I’m falling sick.” So much for trying to convince myself otherwise.

On Saturday, I was kidnapped by Kak Nik! We went shopping! Dress shopping to be exact. I needed dresses, and so, that was our mission. We found my first dress in the first shop we entered that day. It was a black dress, with sleeves and quite a high-waist empire thingy. It was nice. :) Second shop we went into was Little Black Book. I’ve tried on a ‘toga’ looking thingy, and well, I get the concept, but the people who made it don’t really seem to get it. It was…ok. But it was weird, in a way. I can’t explain. It would’ve been good, if (as quoted from Kak Nik) it was “well – executed” on me. But it wasn’t. I did get a pretty brown dress from LBB though. One problem, now I’ve been trying it at home again. Something’s a little off with the dress. I can’t exactly tell out loud here what’s wrong, but Mom didn’t quite like it. :( I guess I gotta sort out this dress problem before I start pulling all my hair out. OH OH! We went to a third shop. I have to say, we spent the most time in there. I believe I tried…more than 5 dresses. First two dresses I tried on were similar, but it was so pretty! The dresses! It exudes the aura of elegance and sophisticated-ness, but, I’m still too young to be going around with those dresses. Plus, they’re something I can only wear like…once a year. Yup, they’re those kinds of dresses. I can’t wear it to a wedding, and I can’t wear it to MY wedding, because of the colour. Hmph. The next dress I tried on was…err…wait. I forgot. Oh yeah! A pink dress. It makes me look younger than when I was wearing the first 2. But I have to say, it was quickly forgotten. Lol. Oooh! The next dress was a SENSATION. Hahahahah! Why? Because it was probably the dress that I would’ve gotten, or would’ve been FORCED to get…if only…I could fit into it! How saddening it is for me to say, that it was probably the biggest size available, yet I couldn’t fit into it, simply because…hmm…because…okok, simply BECAUSE. It was a dismay to Kak Nik and Kak Lye Ching, who was there to assist in the dress finding mission…when I simply can’t get into the dress. You should’ve seen their faces trying to force me into the dress. LOL. And you should’ve seen their thinking faces trying to figure if they could alter the dress to fit ME. Sadly, there isn’t a way, and they were staring wistfully at the dress…wishing and wishing that I would just fit into it. There was also a green tube thingy dress that I tried, but even though it was nice, it wasn’t fantabulous. Unlike the golden-beige dress that I couldn’t fit in.

Oh god, now I won’t be able to stop ranting about the dress that I couldn’t fit in. I’m pathetic. Lol. The last dress was a purple dress. Like an evening gown. (Actually, all the dresses were evening gowns! That’s the phrase! “Evening gowns”! Hehehehe) It was pretty, but I wasn’t sure I needed to get it, and after a long battle of wills, I’ve decided not to get it…yet. God knows what my dad would think if I come back with it. He might throw me out. NO! Wait! He might throw my dress out! Hahaha! I’m just exaggerating, I’m sure he won’t be that bad. *hopes*.  Anyway, I’m hoping I’d be able to bring mom back there, one day. Oh now, back to the story, we dropped Kak Lye Ching back to the office and we went to Bangsar Village II for lunch and maybe a teeny weeny little shopping. We had sushi! At Sakae. Yummy. Was glad to see my true love once more! Hahaha! My salmon sashimi! Wakakakaka! Oh it was a bliss afternoon. :) and I finally found my SWEET SAUCE in Sakae!! They have SWEET SAUCE! Like the ones in Sushi King, Sakae has it too!! A little different but they have SWEET SAUCE! Whee! I was soooo happy. Kak Nik was so not amused. Lol. Yes, FYI, I am a fan of sushi with SWEET SAUCE. But don’t get me wrong, the normal soy sauce is great, but I have a thing for sweet sauce. *smiles smugly*

Sweet sauce.

Sweet sauce.

Sweet sauce.

Man, it feels good to say it. Maybe cause of the ‘sweet’.

 

Sweet sauce.

 

Ok, I should stop NOW. Lol.

 

Anyway, after lunch, Kak Nik was so very tempted to get my mom Haagen – Daaz ice cream as some sort of offerings cause she kidnapped me the entire day. I successfully convinced her not to. Oh, actually, I successfully…stopped her from doing so. Nyahahahahaa. We went into Trucco where everything was 50% off. Kak Nik said it was a closing down sale, so I tried on another dress. It was very nice. So was the price. After 50% it was RM300 ++. T.T I have no moneyyyyy! So I sadly gave back the dress to the lady. Sniff. oooH! We went to Principles/Warehouse (can’t remember which), just looking around when suddenly Kak Nik went, “I saw a bag I like.” And I went…”uh-oh”. Thus, this was what ensued:

 

Kak Nik: *grabs bag, twirls it around, hung it on her shoulder, paraded a little while* Nice innit???

 Me: Hmm, yes, nice, something you’d buy, from the looks of it, but uh…don’t you have loads of bags now, Kak Nik?

 Kak Nik: Yes, but but but…she’s pretty!

 Both of us: *looks at price tag* RM 267 ++

 Me: Yes I know it’s pretty, but…*Kak Nik slung it on her shoulders*

 Kak Nik: It’s pretty! Ok Zunny, I’m giving you 5 minutes to try to talk me out of buying this.

 Me: O.O! Okok! It’s pricey, Kak Nik!

 Kak Nik: It’s a fair price to me.

 Me: You’ve got Kate now, and Amelia and Elizabeth are coming! :D ! (Kak Nik named her bags, and future bags)

 Kak Nik: Yes, but this one is pretty too.

 Me: It’s got 2 handles! 

Kak Nik: I still think it’s pretty, even with the two handles.

 Me: Oh oh, um..um…*faltering, fading away…* Darn. You’re still gonna get it aren’t you?

 Kak Nik: Muahahahahaha. Yes! *devilish smug grin*

 Me: *took the bag from Kak Nik, opened it, and FROZE* Kak Nik…? There’s a baby cockroach running around inside… 

Kak Nik: ARGHHHHH!!! *jumps two steps backwards* ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? SAY YOU ARE!!!

 Me: *still holding the bag…uncertainly* Um…no, I’m not…ooh! I see it again!

 Kak Nik: Put it back, put it back!! *wails*

 Me: ooo….kay…calm down…*puts back bag*

 

We then left the shop, Kak Nik feeling quite upset, cause she didn’t get to have the back cause of the little cockroach I found. We headed home after that, Mom was calling me every 5 minutes, with her voice escalating each call. I had a family dinner that night, for my Dad’s belated birthday and I was almost running late. I wonder if Kak Nik got that bag of hers. Hurm. Oh yes, my two dresses were bought by Kak Nik for me, despite me wailing for her NOT to pay for me. This is what happens when Iman is NOT here. Lol. Thanks loads anyway, Kak Nik. <3 *hugs and loves*

That night we went to San Francisco Steak House somewhere in Subang for the dinner. Well…for some reasons, I don’t think San Francisco did a good job that night. :( I didn’t get my medium rare steak. Hmph. It was probably well done, for all I know. Anyway, I don’t have any pictures with me, my niece took them all, but I haven’t ask her for any yet. Oh GOD. This whole long post only wrapped up SATURDAY!!! I still have SUNDAY to talk about!!!

 

Ok, fine, I’ll make a quick Sunday. I had recording that evening, at One Scream Studio. It’s at PJ. But by afternoon, I was feeling feverish, and I knew I was gonna get sick! I managed to take it all in, til I reached the studio, which was almost difficult to find. I got there around 5.30pm. I was already feverish in an hour. The sopranos took sooooo long! They took an hour to finish a PAGE! No, wait! Correction. They took an hour to finish the first um…in English, it’d probably be a sentence! Something like that. T.T Imagine how long they took for the whole song??? 5 HOURS! 5 FRIGGIN HOURS!!! T.T! We waited so long, and by then, I was already pale to death, and sick like I’ve never been before. I was burning hot with the fever and yet internally shivering with cold! It was indeed a terrible thing to go through. And guess what? It wasn’t our turn yet, and I had to wait in the pain! Finally about…10.30pm, the sopranos were done, and us altos bundled into the room, with me looking sickly and about to faint. Miraculously I could still sing, and even miraculously, we finished in about an hour and a half’s time, about midnight. I already had 6 missed calls then, and several messages. Kak Marina was to send me and Yi Vonn home, so I went straight home after that. The hours following the night, was hell to me.

So that sums up my weekend. I’m not going to start on my week yet. I’m already tired talking about myself. I’ve to go search for something else to talk. Oh no! My forgotten interview with BigChiefWanaKissALot! He’s BACK! Lol. I’ll probably post it up tomorrow.

I took an entire day to type this post on Word in between work. God bless me.

By the way…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! *hugs and kisses*

Facebook…A virus?!!

February 5, 2009 at 11:59 AM (One Of Those Moments When I Couldn't Help But Blog.)
Tags: , ,

I was randomly browsing sites this morning, when I came across an article that caught my attention in a split second. I was on MSN.com, and seeing the bored and curious person that I am, I usually look around for something good to read. And this is what I found: 

 

25 random things about Facebook

It’s not a computer virus, but it sure is starting to feel like one

By Helen A.S. Popkin

msnbc.com

 

It’s not a computer virus, but for some Facebook members, it’s starting to feel like one. It’s called the “25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you,” and it seems all the kids are doing it. The Facebook notification pops up in your e-mail or Facebook “wall” with instructions to list these 25 things and tag 25 of your own “friends” to do the same.

 

The only thing lacking in this dubious invitation is the dire threat of a chain letter — that failure to comply means certain death in say, the next 25 days. Well, turnabout is fair play. Let’s see how YOU like it, Facebook!

 

1.  Facebook fosters the illusion that every person you know actually cares that you left your Nikes in the locker room at Crunch.

 

2.  Nobody cares that you left your Nikes in the locker room at Crunch.

 

3.  If you join Facebook to find out what your kids are up to, you might actually find out what your kids are up to.

 

4.  You don’t want to find out what your kids are up to.

 

5.  Unless, of course, you want to find photos of your 19-year-old daughter making out with another 19-year-old coed for the edification of a bunch of 19-year old dudes doing beer bongs. (That’s age 19, if you’re lucky.)

 

6.   You can announce your divorce on Facebook via the heart icon thingy.

 

7.   Don’t announce your divorce on Facebook.

 

8.   Don’t announce your divorce on Facebook for a number of reasons, the least of which is that all your “friends” will respond on your “wall” with sympathies that in a different era would’ve been delivered in privacy. You wouldn’t console somebody by shouting across a room full of people. Why are you doing it on a Facebook “wall?”

 

9.   You people take Facebook way too seriously.

 

10.  A woman was killed after changing her relationship status on Facebook.

 

11.  Remember that Burger King “Whopper Sacrifice” application that allegedly offered a free Whopper coupon for every 10 friends you dumped? Well, you probably shouldn’t have dumped a couple of your oldest friends, two of which are hardcore vegans. At least one of them didn’t find it hilarious at all and now they won’t “re-friend” you.

 

12.  If you join Facebook to find people you used to know, you’re just as likely to find your middle school BFF Jill as you are to reignite the passions of that one guy from Photography class who has been stalking you since junior college.

 

13.  “Don’t Get Botox”

 

14.  Facebook can get you fired. Yes, you. Just like you are not that one person who can drive safely while talking on a cell phone, you are not that one person who is in no danger of getting fired for something stupid posted by or about you on Facebook.

 

15.  What’s more, your boss is on Facebook. If you join, you’re going to have to decide whether to accept his or her “friendship.” If you accept, you risk losing your job for something he or she stumbles upon. If you attempt to play it safe by not accepting your boss’s “friendship,”  you risk losing your job for offending him or her.

 

16. Oh, and you’re also at risk of alienating your oldest friends by bumping their rank in your “Always show these friends” box. We’re talking your adult friends, like, in their 30s and 40s, with jobs and kids and all kinds of grown-up responsibilities.

 

17.  Your otherwise grown-up friends are angry at you for bumping their “Always show these friends” rank because obviously you’re trying to communicate some kind of super secret Facebook message along the lines of, “I value your friendship two-people less today than I did yesterday.” It’s like watching your friendship stock plummet.

 

18.  The esteemed widow of former Emperor of Malawi did not just send you a “friend” request, nor is she bearing a unique and prosperous offer straight out of Nigeria just for you.

 

19.  And while we’re on the subject, I’VE JUST BEEN HELD UP AT GUNPOINT IN LONDON AND I NEED YOU TO SEND ME $600 NOW!!!!!

 

20.  Facebook is most concerned about Your Privacy. (And the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny are friends!)

 

21.  Don’t connect your Facebook and Twitter accounts. People you haven’t heard from for, like, seven years — people you never thought you were friends with — will leave lame and annoying comments on your Tweets.

 

22.  It’s like, hey, if you want to rekindle the friendship I never thought we had, call me or at least send a private e-mail. Jeez.

 

23.  OK, the cool thing about having your Facebook and Twitter accounts connected is that your Tweets show up as your status updates. But then, if people respond on Twitter and maybe ask you something, and you respond via Twitter, it shows up as your Facebook status, and that’s annoying.

 

24.  While you’re sending zombie challenges to all your “friends,” there’s a guy in Egypt using Facebook to foment democracy.

 

25.  Eventually, someone will post photos from your high school yearbook. Dang, your hair was big.

 

Naw, but seriously. You kids are awesome! Come “friend” me on Facebook!

With courtesy of the website, I decided to post it up here, for all of you who doesn’t surf MSN the way I do. Lol. And besides, I thought this article was pretty amusing, though I have to say every point is TRUE. And reading all the links on the page, (guys and girls, you should) I have to say…its SCARY! What Internet can do, what technology can do, to you.

 

Unfortunately so, I’m pretty hooked on Facebook, and there seems to be nothing I can do. Maybe one day the phase would pass. The same way I abandoned my Friendster.

 

And you know what’s IRONIC??? At this very moment, I’m doing that “25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you” tag.

 

Well, what to say? That’s LIFE!

 

Toodles.

A chronology of events.

February 3, 2009 at 2:32 PM (Uncategorized)
Tags: , , , , , ,

I remembered typing my post for the New Year 2009. Suddenly we’re already entering February. How fast the earth spins on its axis. I shall summarize the events which took place the past week:

 

23 January 2009 – It was all work and the last day of work before Chinese New Year. Man, was I glad. :D ! I also had dinner with Jeff and his family, also with my sister. We had Korean BBQ! And I had a little of So-ju. It’s probably the strongest alcoholic drink I’ve taken so far! I had 3 little sips. Jeff had approximately 1 small cup by the end of the night and he was already dizzy. Nyahahahahah! 20% of alcohol, who wouldn’t be dizzy? I had fun teasing him. Tee hee. It was a good night, even if it didn’t start out almost well, it ended well. For me, at least. And thank you Najwa, for the wonderful chocolates. It really was a surprise, I have to say I actually forgotten about it until Jeff took it out and put it on the table. I was eyeing it for a while, thinking why is he giving me chocolates when it was HIS birthday. Then I think your name was mentioned and the light bulb in my head suddenly lit up so quickly it blew. (nyahahahaahah) THEN I remembered it was from you. Thanks, love (Naj). You’re the sweetest. :) You really didn’t have to. Hehehe. Oh did I mention, Jeff’s cake was CHOCOLATE! Tiramisu to be exact, but still…CHOCOLATE! I would’ve gone hyper if I wasn’t aware that Jeff’s family was there too. LOL.

 

25 January 2009 – Reunion dinner! Nothing much. Went over to Ulu Klang and had our dinner. Played with nieces and nephews. Nothing much. Prayers at midnight. That sums it all up. Lol.

 

26 January 2009 – CHINESE NEW YEAR! For some reasons, I don’t get the festive feeling. Then again, it’s almost the same every year. The exciting part is the angpau giving part. Nyahahahaha. I remember we used to turn on the TV real early in the morning and watch those CNY programmes. Well, this year we didn’t. Not to say it’s a bad thing, we’re not quite in the mood for it either.  Anyway, about 4 -5 pm in the evening, Mom, Sis and I went over to Ulu Klang. Mom decided to skip cooking this year, and to just go over to Ulu Klang and celebrate. Met all the uncles and aunties there. There wasn’t much after that. I occupied myself with my little darlings. :) They really are the sunshine in my life. *sighs* Mom, sis and I didn’t stay for dinner. Actually, the dinner looked like it wouldn’t even be enough for the people there itself, and the three of us, would’ve made it worse. And it didn’t look very appetizing. Dad had to stay to finish up some stuff and prayers and all…so the three of us, drove back, stopped at Craven Café (currently known as D’Jewel Café or something like that) and had nasi kandar. On the first day of Chinese New Year, we had nasi kandar. Life could not be any sadder at that point of time. Quoting Jeff, “It’s CHINESE NEW YEAR man! You had NASI KANDAR??! Sad kid.” Dude…you’re right. But what to do, life moves on.

 

27th January 2009 – Second day of Chinese New Year. We were invited to go back to Ulu Klang sometime in the afternoon as my eldest brother was inviting his friends and colleagues over. My second brother came over with his family to my place first for a little visit, which after they left, we went to Ulu Klang, had our lunch there, and hung around til it was about 6pm. I accompanied little Amelia watching TV while she recited the storyline for me, telling me that the dragon was the monster and etc. (how cute!) and then watched her as she slept. While she slept, I occupied myself with a True Singapore Ghost Stories book which looked ancient and feels ancient. LOL. At about 6pm, we left.  I can’t quite remember what we did that night. OH yeah, Mom cooked dinner. At least we weren’t eating out. :D ! No angpaus collected today. T.T

 

28th January 2009 – Third day of Chinese New Year. The day we were supposed to go back to Mom’s hometown. All the way in Sabak Bernam. Journey takes about 2 ½ hours. I brought a book I borrowed from Jeff. Brethren. Good book. Though I was barely reading in the car. I think I was hooked up on Red FM playing on the radio at the moment. Oldies, and pretty good songs too. But dude, halfway during the journey, I was CRAVING for Cheesy Wedges and KFC! Mom calmed me down saying that we’ll get steamboat once we get to grandma’s house, so that appeased me a little. And guess what? When we did get to grandma’s house, we DIDN’T have steamboat! AHHHHH!!!! I was NOT amused. We had this…err…some sorta dark looking creature that was supposed to be duck, but dad (as he told me later on) suspected that it may have been cooked again and again for the past 5 days! :S! The only thing I dare to pick off the table was veggies. Lots and lots of them, cause that’s what I saw my auntie cooking when I was at the kitchen, wandering. Nyahahahahha. We lingered there for about 2-3 hours…(got our angpaus! Whee!) and decide to go home at about 4-ish. Boy, we were GLAD. Don’t get us wrong…its just…complicated. :( Anyway, my grandma was trying to talk to me, and you see, she speaks in her dialect and nothing else. Only my mom and dad can understand her. My sister and I would usually nod and smile. But I can understand a little bit. She was trying to ask me whether I’m starting work the next day. So yeah I nodded. Like I always do, even IF I don’t understand her. Poor grandma. Well, then again, she literally has seen us GROWN! :D ! The journey back wasn’t as long as it was when we came. I, however, fell asleep shortly after I got into the car. Must be the heat or something, cause I suddenly felt very drowsy and couldn’t help myself but slept. Well, I was supposed to get back to KL and go out for dinner with Kak Nik, but…mom bought KFC since I was hounding for it since morning. But you know what??? Dad, sis and I all wanted cheesy wedges, and she only got ONE. JUST ONE FRIGGIN CHEESY WEDGES FOR US TO SHARE! T.T!! Sniff. Work the next day. Sigh.

 

 

And now, I’m back at work. I’m supposed to be doing some work at the moment, but I couldn’t help but blog. Because I’m getting bored. Choir starts again tonight. I have a recording to do this Sunday. Will update more about that, once they tell me what’s gonna happen tonight. I am SOOOOO LAZY. For choir. And work. Ugh. I want to read!!!
