this blog has basically been dead for almost a year. but sentimentality and wishful thinking has kept it around in my mind and bookmarks all this while. but i've undeniably have changed a lot since my last time posting.

but entering a new "era" so to speak, it's time to move on and start anew.

don't really have an idea how to go bout it, but am gonna think it over properly before starting again.

all the best. to me. hahahaha

love and peace everyone!

it seems that for a period of time, peole found their merry way to my blog whilst looking for the word: TETEK. sadly, i do not have an abundance of bobbies on my site, unless you enjoy Coce yo. (see camwhoreran highlands posts)

still cannot beat aly, whose blog was searched using the key words "pics of bloody underwear" or something like that some time ago hahaha.

ps: going to google trends site, it seemed the poor people in batu pahat searched the most for tetek, last i checked => tetek, just type it in and see what happens hehe

please donate generously, a lack of tetek is a terrible thing.

2007-01-05T13:09:00.000+08:00

fwooh, 2006, what a year.

the year i graduated, the year i started working, the year i turned 21, the year i went on more trips, the year i became a cam whore, the year i actually filled up an organizer from jan to dec.

what will 2007 bring?

a few resolutions:

to not get caught up in the moment - been making many mistakes and wrong choices/ decisions just because i was distracted by the NOW, and forgot about hat i already KNOW. don't what the question to arrive from myself and others, "know already and still do? WHY?"
stop making excuses.
manage my finances in an orderly fashion. and save some of it haha.
always do what i love, and do my best. design and performing.
begin dancing regularly again.
look good, feel good. get that six pack and lose that baby fat, be strong enough to do lifts with a dance partner and to do tricks on the breakdance floor.
CLEAN MY SPACE AT HOME. not only my room y'know. (damn, this one has been there since forever) maybe i should become more anal-neatfreak.

Camwhoreran Highlands Day 2 part 2, Day 3 the end

2006-12-17T22:20:00.000+08:00

We continue where we left off, with ROUND 2 of hill climbing. this time towards the hills just behind the MNS nature center. the sunset light made taking photos glorius.

true camwhores at heart, we risked our lives climbing out unto a rock stiking out the side of the hill to take snaps.

DINNER. steamboat. too much food.

AFTER DINNER. wine. pillow talk. panda hugging.

the morning after. time to go. sob.

no time to be sad, camwhoreran highlanders are always ready with a smile for the camera, we'll make even the ringlet bus stop look glam baybeh. enjoy coce yo.

spot the hawt bus passenger.

back in KL, spot the klang "valley".

one last look at our home for 3 days and 2 nights and 700+ photos.

it was a wonderful trip. let's make it our yearly pilgrimage, seeing how several members of this years expedition were at camwhoreran highlands as well hehe. love and peace and teh tarik to all.

Camwhoreran Highlands Day 2 part 1

2006-12-08T05:34:00.000+08:00

the day begins with us grudingly gettng out of bed, too groggy to really notice the scenery. (it's green, and it's tea, after a while it gets monotonous hehehe)

breakfast gets us going, with homemade chapati and tosai. and more teh tarik. The dhal habis jual.

next, we went of trampling thru the green. camwhore session begins. the group splits into two at the moment cos leen, ken and rach got stuck on a rock.

macam ciggarette ad yo.

enjoy Coce yo.

we managed to catch up with one another and stopped by the road for our packed lunch. we are joined by Lambo, our temporary guide dog and pet.

random scenery on route to...

the TEA HOUSE. where we climb up to the view point and yes, you guessed it....

...camwhore session begins again.

the high altitude = less oxigen to brain = unusual behaviour

the highlands bring out the poser in you.

can you feel it?! the camwhore energy?!

yeap, smiling and taking photos (and walking 3 km up and down slopes from MNS centre) is a tough job. time for a nap.

i got bored, and started jumping.

soon, everyone joined in.

to achieve better altitude, we had to resort to using accesories

jumping got old (and tiring), so time to DUDUK SEKSI ATAS BATU (new hotseller vcd in pasar malam)

sit on mountain. see leen's mountains.

after photo session, twas time for the quintessential pseudo british cameron's experience. TEA.

we got a ride from one the tea tractors goin up and down the plantation for a quick and violent trip halway towards the MNS session. named highlight of the trip by general concensus hehehe

it never ends. i'm running out of ideas for captions. we got back safely to the MNS centre.

more random scenery. to be continued...

Camwhoreran Highlands DAY ONE

2006-12-06T00:25:00.000+08:00

rachel coined that term, genius i tell you.

anyways, aly has got out the first series of posts on camerons, head on over there if you wanna see the whole trip in one go.

me on the other hand, am gonna do an almost blow for blow account of our weekend in the country hehe.

so here goes with... DAY ONE

a good trip begins with a good breakfast: MAMAK near pudu, while waiting for the bus.

road trip! (bling shades automatically ups anyones sexy)

phew, we arrived safely in ringlet, and hop into mrs moorthi's (caretaker) pajero to get to the MNS-BOH field study centre.

en route, we drop by mrs. moorthi's house for lunch, puss play and food pick up. camwhoring ensues on the road outside her place.

we interupt the blog for some over abundant breathless scenery inside and around the BOH estate.

after lunch, we go ahead and start walking towards the MNS centre while mrs M prepares our tea. it starts raining on the way and we berteduh by the roadside till mrs M came and picked us up hehe.

fwooh we finally arrive at the field study centre. Time for karipap and teh tarik and Taboo.

BBQ dinner. nuff said.

Taboo continues. This time with added Baileys. luckily we had the whole place to ourselves that night, a bunch of tipsy 20-somethings with a game involving shouting out guesses is considered a hazardous source of sound pollution. bloody fun tho. wahaha.

amazingly enough we finished ALL the cards in taboo. on all sides. and then it was after 4 am, time for bed and looking forward to another fruitful day...

ugh. holiday mood has not left me. and summore i am in between projects (not being really productive during working hours). and i've gotten hooked on meebo.

last drama thing to happen (work related anyway) was me being sucked into a project for Coca-Cola.

look out for the promo coming out later this year. that's all i can safely say for now...

other than that, happened to have the fat ass SLR camera with me one day, so here's some random shots.

MONTHLY BLOGGER RETURNS

2006-10-13T00:32:00.000+08:00

YES MY DARLINGS.

that includes the two visitors who have stumbled here by accident, making the grand total of people who are still faithfully checking this blog to...3.
...
me included.
...
... i'm a stubborn biatch and i've kept this blog and invested too much time and effort* in certain posts to just let it die a slow painful death...

*well, to ME anyways, in the distant past. like about 6 months ago. darnit.

so on with the show.

i would like to make clear however this is just another teaser post. with the intention of kick-starting my blogging juices after being sucked dry the COCA COLA company (more on that later...)

so on the list to-be-blogged:
- accepting my inner camwhore. doing the DIY one arm out camera facing yourself with a bulky SLR cam is not jelly beans i tell you.

- my 3 day affair. yeah, i had a lover's tryst of dramatic proportions with make-up and sets and all in the actor's studio bangsar. photos coming...

- onigiri works! - an insider's guide on my new habitat - menara IMC, 8th floor.

- singing in a hilton. nope, not paris, she's not that roomy anyway. the kuala lumpur wan. a wedding gig in which i realise yet again i need to get my own set of formal wear.

- RIP nokia. a tribute and eulogy for a short, yet intense fling i had with a clamshell....phone. full of joy, sadness, suspense, and murder most foul.

- MONASH BALL. a royal escapade. now a regular drama series on Channel Qleen,
episode 1,
episode 2,
episode 3,
episode 4...

adios muchachos!

2 weeks worth of updates.

2006-09-11T00:54:00.000+08:00

will not happen here. hehehe

however, last night i had a dream aliens attached the earth but humans, like the evolutionary cockroahes that we are, manage to overpower the invaders with our hidden tech advancements and determination. a little like independance day(the movie), but with better special effects and bigger robots. naturally, i was one of the heroes doing the saving.

it was MY dream after all.

after the battle, peace settles on the land, and i return to my homeland to rejoice and celebrate with my family. my parents say cool, but we're leaving for the graveyard now. huh? oh ok lets get the boiled chicken to be put near grandma's grave, ala clean the graves, ching bing style.

my parents said, "no lah, two wan tan enough already wan la for those two."

then a dark gaping feeling of loss filled me as i realised my two brotehrs didn't make it through the war.

at this point i sorta woke up, though the gaping feeling of loss still lingered in my head. thoughts like how unfortunate the feelng of parents who outlive their children, and how much i actually miss my brothers. since one of them lives in the USA and one has moved out.

...

anyways, i lied earlier about the 2 weeks worth of updates.
here in point form:

item 1
developed what i conculde to be psychosomatic rashes. i break out in hives when i am feeling under pressure/ stress/ overly tired/ worried. was really bad like 2 weeks ago. now only comes out when i'm really pushing myself. and the day it was BAD was a friday when KL was flooded and most public trans got blocked up, so imagine a croeded monorail train, packed like a sardine can with me having red splotchy skin, resisting the urge to scrath. HELL ON EARTH. i thank the gift of foresight to wear long sleeves that day.

item 2
merdeka weeked was a high and low. high: HOLIDAY. low: chi hoe's farewell.

item 3
went to watch broken bridges. having friends in the audience and the cast+crew made the whole experience surreal. douglas lim can sing! the disturbing part was when a girl aborted her baby/ suicided on stage using a smoothed out hanger wire.

item 4
AMAZING MALL RACE. i came, i saw, i ran, i didn't get to finish the race. chi bai la. for a full report, jengoklah di sini:
queen sleen's fabulous account
(my race partner and sexy jiran hati sejiwa muah muah)

bloody blogger's brutal honesty
(my bitch and love of my past life)

item 5
i worked on a weekend. with said rashes hitting me like clockwork exactly when my brain is repeating the mantra "it's time to go home". saturday and sunday. it's karma i tell you for leaving pretty early (before 10pm) the previous few days muhahaha...

item 6
attempted to go for the starbucks music festival.
ended up lepaking in the curve, watching monster house, and then having peach soursop ice kacang in Souled-Out hartamas. it was the night of reunions. ran into ex-college mates (i miss and love you all), ran into former high school mates (miss you too, even though most of you like like 5 minutes away). saw mia palenscia sing indie rock tho. nice.

item 7
got a proper haircut @ peekaboo @ the curve earlier the same day of the starbucks music thingie. made the stylist, jeffrey, laugh when i was saying i wanted an "uneven fringe" when actually it's called a slant, or something like that. malunyeeer...

item 8
my graduation ceremony is gonna be on the 11th of november.
gosh. i haven't booked my tickets. shit.

item 9
there IS NO ITEM NINE.

ok, time to sleep and back to work.

ps. the whole day i was wondering WHY ONLY JUST TWO WAN TAN FOR MY BROTHERS GRAVE?! WHY WHY WHY WHY...

pps. a moment for all victims of terror. it's been 5 years. i was watching the smoking tower when the second plane hit. i thought it was a movie. not a live news feed. things like this should not happen.

patung kucingkecik ... EAT THIS!!!

WANITA REMPAH

hehehehehehehe...

entered the axn amazing mall race with aly, leen, and rach. today my kaki keras and sakit oi as a result of a couch potato doin 1km on a treadmill, 500m on a crosstrainer, 20 assisted pull ups, rock climbing, and running up and down 5 floors of 1 utama new wing. that's a bloody achievement that is haha.

damn.... i do a lot of walking on way to work........

oh well, time to focus on the rewards of exercise....TIGHT TUSSHIES.

yes. thank you.

btw, went to startlight cinema last week and watched 2 fast 2 furious and the tokyo drift one. can't stand the "hero" for the second film.

best nani moment of the night: character suddenly rips of shirt and do a "show muscle" walk and camera angle while walking to a car, [all of us go "HUH?"], cuts to character punching thru car window with ripped shirt round fist. [all of us go "aaaaaah..."]

2006-08-13T20:28:00.000+08:00

yikes, i've already been working for almost 2 weeks now...

and weekends are really becoming the oasis of the working week.

i think my life is gonna have the ryhtm of work work work *recharge on weekend* work work work.

and everyday is an adventure because of crowded public transport combined with a drowsy designer.

so far what i've been doing in office is illustration, readapting posters, character design, storyboards, and logo design...

clients include nescafe, da ma cai, and tv9...

ry's gotten a new lovely white slim samsung phone... so he passed on his nokia clamshell to me. which worked fine for a few days and then i dropped it when getting out of the car today. i nearly cried on the spot, but caught myself when a tribe of bangladeshi workers were gonna walk pass.

it's now being repaired in pyramid. after getting that phone, i finally had a concrete reason to upgrade my sim card. which is like almost 5 years old and only 32k... time for a mobile phone camera cam whore to be born!

ROCK FOR HOPE
COME AND SUPPORT THE CONCERT, former schoolmate needs your support for a definitely good and worthy cause. check it out.

and finally, after this post of soundbites and cliffnotes:
the PDLAKA wanite rempeh afre gonna take the local music scene by storm!

heres an upcoming preview, an outake from their shoot with fotoCHOP studios:

confirmed la sunita is scary.

disclaimer: i will not be held responsible for any shit covered chairs, mental/physical injury, caused by viewing the above picture.

and cause i had no time to document said PDlaka trip, other than take a ton of photos:

argh!!! work in 6 days!!!

ok...

this week, i have been getting less sleep cos of all the goofing off i wanna do before i have to be a good, clean, organized, and working designer. (yeah right)

and i am now hooked on a new show.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE wahaha

watched the entire first season in a few days, and am downloading the second season. this, along with "dancing with the stars" has made me wanna dance again. ballet even. but then i remember i might have to wear tights. not a pretty sight.

and i also am loving "one piece" the manga. ry says it's a waste of time but i can't get enough of eichiro oda's cracked up style of storytelling and the fact i am learning more about how to draw by reading it (i'm a design geek). and it's got...

day of the sotong

2006-07-13T15:21:00.000+08:00

chapter one:
i wanted to do some banking in the morning, while picking up some printing from a shop in sunway. so i took the cheque, the quick cheque deposit envelope and headed out, while filling up the envelop in the car before going to the bank, i realised i didn't have my bank book with me (nombor akaun tak ingat) nvm, my mom helped me to bank it later... but petrol wasted ish.

chapter two:
got home, ry asks me out for lunch in midvalley with another fren. "be there by 12.45, u late u die" he says. right. it's like 12.00. alamak, all my stuff to get ready before i go to klpac not ready, and i'm in need of a shower. *hurricane joel sweeps thru room packing stuff into bag. will have to sort out stuff at traffic light stops in car hehe. hmm, got some slight stubble making me look extra ah beng/ sleazy. need to shave, looks at clock, shit, 12.15, OUCH, cuts self with razor blade.

chapter three:
i bleed while trying to isi petrol before heading out, stuck in my card, not accepted, transaction cancelled. eh?! try again. same answer. bitchy pump 3. forked out some cash to fill up enough to get to midvalley, then KLPAC, then back. after filling, i realised i was sticking my ATM card into the pump and not my credit card.

chapter four:
ON TO MIDVALLEY IT IS 12 friggin 30 oh my gawd i am gonna be late. it was a miracle but i got to midvalley by 12.55 and ry so smart, lunch is actually 1.00 pm but he tell me 12.45 cos he KNOWS i am gonna be late. good thinking, but his smugness and "i told you so" face... grrr

lunch goes smoothly.

chapter five:
lost track of time, it's like almost 2 and i'm stil in midvalley. i run down to my parking floor. and.... i can't remember where i parked my car. shitshitshitshit. so did the echo location technique (walk around randomly while hoping the car alarm will sound) while racking my brains on any clue where my car actually is.

chapter six:
found the car, and tried to figure out how to get to KLPAC asap from midvalley. it's like a little after 2. was supposed to be in KLPAC by 2pm...got to midvlley by 2.20 ish, just in time to greet the first choir in for soundcheck. phew...

chapter seven:
the show goes smoothly and now i have 400+ photos to sort through of concert pics for the respective choirs and organizers. ok.. got to car, pressed alarm to unlock it. and it locked.

wtf..that means the car was unlocked the whole evening...

nothing missing (as far as i can tell). thank you god...

chapter eight:
went to naili's for supper. kept spilling ice kacang unto the table, which meant 5 minutes later a pink drizzle hit my pants. but i had fun and good food. while walking back to my kelisa, saw a kancil completely covered in shag pile carpeting. on the outside. it would be interesting to see that car in the rain.

didn't take pics of the shaggy car cos scared of the owner

the end.

cat and bunny and hot afternoons

2006-07-12T01:22:00.000+08:00

ipod mini casings made by me ages ago with felt and bad stitching

never got around to version two which has a bottom flap for the charger/dock, felt like the bunny was wearing long johns with the button ass flap.

i think my blog is like becoming a photo blog already...

and i am starting to think i've got an "irritating bad luck" syndrome. it happens like when i finally start getting ready to go for choir rehearsal earlier so that i'm more punctual/ not so rushed, a lot of things just go slightly wrong to not really be BAD, but just make my blood boil.

it's a hot afternoon, so i'll take a quick shower before i go. OK, packed my bag earlier, picked it up, double chk contents, can't find organizer. SHIT. *15 minutes of running up and down and all around over ripping room and house apart, and i finally find it in the usual "oh my gawd why didn't i see it there when i looked there just 2 seconds ago"

by then i was soaked in sweat, again. so had to take another shower if not the air con in car would make me feel all clammy and in need of a restraining order to avoid nasal damage to unsuspecting choir members.

so another shower, was about to leave and then couldn't find organizer AGAIN... took 5 mintes this time, in my rage i didn't see it right next to my bag. it was a black organizer on a black piano in a shadow covered corner of the room in the late afternoon. ok, i've got a history of ke-sotongan too, but it didn't count. not much anyway.

by that time i was running late. and i was was rushed. urgh.

it's the same feeling you get when your download bandwitdh gets really good when you really HAVE to off the computer.

it's like someone somewhere is tweaking the universe a little to derive some perverse joy from your misery and frustration.

urgh again.

wow, what a whirlwind weekend... on friday night, ryonn comes back from shanghai, i took the plunge driving solo to klia in rain in kelisa, got there in time, and then drove straight to kl for a night at chili's : see "i am betty crocker's bitch"

nearly got killed several times on way to kl and after chili's tho, concentration was down after the long day, ry is convinced that my car will claim human sacrifice, it's just a matter of time...

anyways, friday nite out, sat morning off to genting! went there, took a dip in freezing water, i swear i could cut glass if i pressed up agaisnt the window after that, went thru some fun workshops, ate a LOT, played UNO, played with wigs, then on sunday morning, sang a lil and watched other ppl sing too and by sunday evening, i was back from the mountain nodding off in church in shah alam.

monday morning, went for a brief briefing in college, then was off to IPOH! pudu station was an EXPERIENCE... defies explanation, ppl haggling you to buy bus tickets, and being paranoid about your valuables in your pants. i mean wallets.

2 hours later i was in ipoh. played wit dogs, played with ps2, xbox and pc, all familiar friends, and ate ate ate, luckilly had a chance to swim swim swim to that i din have to buy 2 seats on bus back to kl. i miss spending time with rowan, f'ng, kyou and lina... they make the world a happy if, more hentai, place...

after 2 nights, i came back to kl at 1 am on the thrid night.

next afternoon, had an interview with ppl at mccann one of the big BIG ad agencies...

fast forward to following week had a second interview on wednesday... got offered a job, i think i accepted it... but it's all a haze now... kena tegur from ry and parents for settling on low pay and no epf and socso... but my father also said, work for experience, not money...

i think i start in august, am waiting for the paperwork...

i think i start in august, oh my gosh...

i start in august... and the room has not been cleaned...

august is 3 weeks away...

gosh.

CINE LAI SURE

2006-06-29T21:49:00.000+08:00

yeah, some chinese newspaper spelt it like that. ok, the building with the funny roof next to the curve?

that's CINELEISURE

it's actually a cathay cinema, but with added bells and whistles.

originally, as part of the MAKE MONEY initiative during my graduation campaign, the advertising peeps in my college decided to mass enter this student ad competition being hosted by said funny roofed building/ company.

out of all the entries, 5 were shortlisted. 3 of them from my batch, 1 of them being my team. woo hoo, this was followed by a presentation from all 5 finalists

fast foward to like 3 weeks later, and we have a press conference and the winners are revealed.

we were treated to a cut price presscon where SONY BMG were commemorating great sales, of the BIGGER album. a larger than life version of crazy frog came out to dance and present stuff. 6 feet tall with its head was the size of a volkwagen beetle.

thankfully there were no casualities, though it brought a smile in my evil heart when the frog nearly collapsed backwards due to the head being off balance.

and then there was the prize giving. they announced the consolation winners first, then the 3rd place winner, then the 2 finalists, which was my team and a team from IACT...

we got second place.

i like the bag :)

couldn't have done it without the great marketing mama lynda and the design devil jaemy.

but WHYY LAA MUST THE CERT LOOK SO SEKOLAH RENDAH sob sob (i hope no one from cineleisure reads this or i am screwed muahaha)

and to lynda, president extrodinaire : i have learnt so much from your professionalism and flair for thinking and executing the BIG IDEA , and i have a great admiration for you spirit and confidence, and it has inspired me many times.

to jaemy, my fellow vice president : your creativity and wackiness made me realize how much insanity and humour helps you be free from constrictions when thinking and brainstorming.

THANKS YOU ALL AND HOPE WE ALL GET CHUN JOBS/ HAVE FUN STUDYING AFTER BEING UNLEASHED INTO THE INDUSTRY

Malam Mesra Malaysia

2006-06-15T11:10:00.000+08:00

also known as Denise's Kitchen, Seaside edition

another in the series of lapuk posts muahaha, i spent a lovely weekend in the company of fellow crazy friends from choir in Port Dickson.

there were like 10 of us all staying together in a 3 bedroom apartment. and the interesting bit about this trip is that it's the most cooking i have ever done on holiday. the first thing we did on the way tehre was load all the food stuff into the cars, then after that, it was carrying all the food up, then after that it was preparing the food, a group effort consisting of ikan bilis cleaners, ginko nut peelers, and quail egg shellers.

it was a lot of fun tho wahahaha, there were all the essentials in the inventory we packed that it felt like we were opening a restaurant. i bow down to denise for coordinating the feeding effort. we had like porridge, indon mee, steamboat, curry chicken, western breakfast, cucur udang, konyaku jelly, ginko barli tong sui, asam fish, fried rice, plus various tid bits and a purple tide of ribena. hehe

and surprisingly, the beach was clean! the water was still brownish tho, but swimmable. there was an episode when we started singing and doing fake synchronized swimming choreography in the hotel pool. and it was a busy labour day weekend.

i must say, it was a pretty effective way to get the pool to ourselves. it's either that or we're the only funny people who still wanna stay out in the hot hot afternon sun. i had the severe sunburn to show for it hehehe, felt like a cooked lobster for a few weeks after that.

we had a round on the banana boat, which was being run by kids circa around the age of 15........below. we thought they were just manning the boat for the brother/father, but turned out they were driving the boats too. imagine the wind whipping thru your hair, the banana boat skipping from wave to wave, and a small kid steering the speedboat towing you. made me glad of my lifejacket.

but it was fun. if your idea of fun is tempting death.

hehehehehe

these were all from my back/front yard. not at the same time tho :P

well, time does fly and this blog is about 2 years old already.

actually time really did fly in the case of this blog cos the number of posts between the last anniversary and this one was pathetic.

*pause for reflection

...

at least now with college out of the way, i'm taking advantage of a relatively more flexible schedule, and as you can see a overhaul of the blog.

which can also mean i'm substituting my sleepness nights rushing assignments to sleepless nights doing up my blog. the only difference is that i can stop anytime i like.

so said the alcoholic in denial.

but anyway, now is the time to GET THINGS DONE, aka: every other thing that needs to be done other than "real" work, which is organize the threatening jungle of stuff in the study room, landing, bedroom, and laundry room.

i seem to accumulate mess like a snowball accumulates layers of packed snow as it tumbles down the side of a mountain.

time to get started before we lose anymore innocent sherpas.

ps. i LIKE picasa...

Pics of my aunts uncles and cousins and grandma and nephew and food that went so fast i only got time to take photo of empty bowl. got small small pic of my bro and sis in law at bottom part also hehehe.

this year had the traditional "stuffyourselfwithasmuchmeataspossiblebeforefirstdayofnewyearwhenyoucanonlyeatvegetarian" reunion dinner at my place with dad's side of family. we watched memoirs of a geisha and had durian cake and amarula cream liqour for dessert.

and i realised 5 out of six dishes that night had pork in it hehehe, lap cheong, stir fried arrowroot, roast pork, sea cucumber and mushrooms, steamed chicken, and sar kot. basically my mom makes the same stuff every year. i still love it. esp the pork.

finally i have been allowed to drive the kelisa to college. NO casualties, and was damn lucky in finding parking that requires no skill.

eg:

| car |[empty]| car |

kelisa drive

after parking took me 10 mins to realise i remembered to put the steering lock but forgot to alarm+lock the car.

am currently grounded to subang tho. [see sotong moment above]

and my mom says i can't hooraa hooraa with my friends till late late...

2006-01-22T15:59:00.000+08:00

my birthday is ages from now but that's beside the point.

the point is to pig out at what is confirmed to be my family's official hangout. we visit this restaurant at least once a year for ANY special occasion. i swear, sometimes i think we all wilingly create special occasions as an excuse to visit this restaurant. it's been the only jap restaurant so far that's been consistent (the saturday special anyway ), every time we've been there.

the satuday special is almost like a buffet, as in you pay one sum and eat as much as you want/can. except that you order off a menu. so the food will always be freshly prepared, and with the good service and serve yourself appetizer table, you don't feel any real break between orders.

the pictures are just highlights : sashimi, beef teppanyaki, and green tea ice cream and mochi for dessert.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY

2006-01-15T22:10:00.000+08:00

wow. 21.

anyone wanna see if genting is willing to reimburse us through some rigged gambling in our favour? ohohohohoh

this time you can walk in tall and proud, and flaunt your hot tush at those stupid security personnel haha.

the birthday party was an EVENT man. make sure you take care of those presents! all our blood sweat laughter and tears in there hehehehe.

and don't forget, those teh ais coupons are only valid till the end of february!!!!

new year's resolution

2005-12-27T01:45:00.000+08:00

one of them anyway.

long time ago, i realised that the more i got comfy/ happy, the more slip ups i made in speech and decisions. so i end up hurting people and also just causing big f*cked up shit situations that i just don't know how to solve.

being angry and serious and silent prevents me from getting into said big f*cked up shit situations. i'll have to keep rememebering to catch myself whenever i am laughing too much or not worrying or distracted and not focused.

heck i think it's gonna be lonely/lovely. self repression helps save lives.

i hate it when my stupid mouth gets me in trouble. like john mayer said, not filter in my head, whats a boy to do, guess i'd better find one soon.

gosh i hate this. i just wanna hide and be alone for about a month.

gosh, the lyrics for that song. are perfect.

"oh i'm never speaking up again, starting now"

My stupid mouth,
Has got me in trouble.
I said too much again.
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended.
She said well anyway...
Just dying for a subject change.

Oh, it’s another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head.
Oh, what’s a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips. she looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the
Salt and pepper shaker.
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just
Slipped out and what went wrong.

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed.
Thanks for playing, try again.

How could I forget?

Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head.
Oh, what’s a boy to do?
I guess he better find one.

I’m never speaking up again. it only hurts me.
I’d rather be a mystery than she desert me.

Oh I’m never speaking up again.
Starting now

One more thing.
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it’s all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be funny.
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

I’m never speaking up again it only hurts me.
I’d rather be a mystery than she desert me.

Oh I’m never speaking up again
Starting now

yeah, i'm the "likes to post lyrics on my blog" type. so sue me. the song's a damn fine illustration of what i'm griping about right now. and i like music dammit.

f**k.

till next time

2005-12-06T18:45:00.000+08:00

yes, i know i haven't upddated in over a millenia,

yes, i know i shouldn't let my blog die a horrible death of uninteresting topics.

and YES, i KNOW HAVE NOT UPDATED.

geez.

but you know what, i also know i am in the final week of college. and have only the occasional mah jong session or makan session or dating session or whatever to ease my nerves.

oh gods of procrastination i wish i could take your name in vain. just to spite thee and

in other news, even tho i was in a drunken stupor of lack of sleep, and was almost late for a KLue magazine internship interview...

i have been called back for a final interview at the klue main office in bukit bintang.

it be in the afternoon in the middle of KL.

oh joy.

on the flip side, i have many assignments due the next day, my parents would have left for san fransisco the day before, and i be carless.

oh shit.

and finally thank you all who helped make goin home a sucess, a safe trip to tracy and to all those who will not be joining us next year. what little time we have spent together has made my life a little richer.

this december, i have no rest. got cameron's trip (woo hoo), got caroling with ykls in 1 utama, got caroling with college mates for fundraising, got comics fiesta also for fundraising, and got christmas and new year and birthdays oh my.

and "singa, sihir, dan almari" and "mungkin cinta" be opening this week, and i will not be able to go. :(

HAAAAAAAAAA mei yiou

don't let my griping fool you. i really am enjoying all the hustle and bustle. except when it involves heavy lifting and copius amounts of sweating with no showers in sight.

whilst i have no mood to do anything other than blog, due to various aches and pains and a case of food poisoning, here's a report on what i'm up to, hopefully by the time i've recovered. (yes, i am shamelessly fishing for sympathy)

on sat, will be heading to isetan lot 10 for a performance for some bra launch. am singing lily's eyes with idzam with wai fun on digi piano. need to get there by 10am. it's a conflicting gig. for one thing, i'm gonna be missing class, for which i have 2 outstanding assignments due. for another thing, it's the first paid gig i've had in a loooooooooong time. for yet another thing, i have to get up early and find my own way to the middle of KL on a sat morning.

oh heck, i do it for the money.

and my mom doesn't seem to realise/mind i am missing class. heheheh

on that SAME day, straight after the bra gig, i'll be skidaddling (how the heck do you spell that anyway) to KLANG, to some school for the KMM, (klang music festival, not kesatuan melayu muda) to perform "Shenjidema" again.

then on SUNDAY, there's this~>

please DO come and have a good time, and be supporting a good cause as well ^^ CALL ME, or something if you need more details.
all money goes to sponsoring tickets for the YKLS charity performance end of the year.

there will be like 20 acts, each doing a song each, ranging from opera, broadway, filipino pop, canto classics, and j-pop if i am not mistaken hehe.
me and tracy will be doin a duet from mozart's "don giovanni". i am the don juan trying to get the soon to be wedded virgin to come to bed with me. the night before her wedding night.

sounds fun eh? ohohoho

i got a OSIM gift bag with some massage oil and an "iBrush" which basically is a vibrating hair brush with detachable brush plate to function as a massage device. looks like it could be mis-used/ abused. hahahah

uwah, went to see one of the craptacular movies this season, THE MYTH. show was off all the way, but entertainment value wah FWOOSH. "jack" needs to lose the hat. the whole show was done very very hong kong style, disjointent scenes, illogical story, unnesseasary footage, weird editing, and kick ass action. plus all those weirdly pronounced western names. and get this: JACKY CHAN SPEAKING TAMIL.

after movie, ry, me, aly, sleen, rachel, and danny adjourned to kenchana, when lo and behold i get one weird ass shaped maggi mee goreng(pics below), remember you saw this FIRST here and only at KENCHANA mamak. hahah

it's been a gruelling week. but FINALLY we're DONE. with marche's. here's the damage:

due to working long hours at odd hours jaemy and lynda found it neccesarry to wear sun protective headgear in the car on the way to the curve.

tired and shagged out.

MAKAAAAAAAAAAAN

we are so gonna whoop your asses if you ask us to hang up more ribbons after this.

ngeh?

marche's. ou yea

2005-09-21T22:39:00.000+08:00

me and a bunch of friends got a gig to decorate marche's at the curve during their oktoberfest promotion period. This was day one of actually putting up the deco. "making of" pics maybe later la haha. i think we were all a bit loopy from having to wake up early and also inhaling too much spray glue fumes the day before, preparing the deco items.

jaemy(debate stance), swen(pouncing), zhiling(trying to concentrate), lynda(covergirl angle)

jaemy(the hat needs to go), swen (trying not to puke at the hat)

lamb shank, shrimp pasta, chicken rissoto

the fondue

us and "gary" from 8tv right at the back. ran into him at marche's. he was being VERY friendly, seeing how we are complete strangers. he exchanged numbers with jaemy. only jaemy. HMMMmmMMMMmmmMmm.

i have nothing of real interest to post at the moment but i have a cute cat picture.

2005-09-18T00:48:00.000+08:00

this was taken like ages ago outside the my house, one of the local kitties found the top of the old mitsubishi pajero comfy that hot afternoon.

what a day

2005-09-15T01:46:00.000+08:00

i had a quite the day. i finally got the funtastic graduation batch 2005 promo pack (our seniors). it's worth like 25 bucks and i got it free cos i answered correctly in a quiz session during or graduation campaign class. they came to share their experiences.

yay. went for yum cha in rasberry after that and shared a small fudge cake with kyou, aya, and gure. so muhibah, got one rep from every major in my college except for interior design. gure had class, so the rest of waved our hankies and bid her farewell.

but then the rest of us went to see charlie and the chocolate factory. me and kyou were having our second dose of the burton cannabis, while aya was gonna be having her first time. after that we laughed joyously at how much of a actor god johnny depp is and how much we worship tim burton and also why do all young boys in movies look the same.

we adjourn to 1901 hotdogs for a lil dinner, by way of breadstory which was already having the 30% off all breads at that time. i got the vanilla ice cream bun, which is this like 7 inch fat bun with milk powder and icing sugar sprinkled all over it, and filled with this cream that tastes like vanilla ice cream, or as aya puts it, condensed milk cream. kyou and aya got a spicy turkey ham bun and a cheese bun respectively.

after my hotdog i gleefully dug into my bun, which i have been itching to try ever since i saw the flavour on sale in breadstory almost a week ago. it was pretty nice, a bit jelak, but it was tasty yum. BUT, half way thru the bun, i saw a lil something poking out of the dough....in morbid fascination, i pulled it out and it was a 2.5 inch hair that had been baked in the dough. i am just glad it wasn't curly. too bad i din leave it in, if not i would've had an excuse to rain fire and brimstone unto breadstory.

and i saw a cat being hit by a car later that night. i was walking by the side of the road, when a kembara drove past me and i heard a loud *WHUMPH* i turned around and saw a cat flailing wildly on the road. i tot the cat was just stunned or something, so i kept walking, but i was just freaked out. i kept turning back, and the cat was like having a seizure, it was waving it's legs wildly and flopping on the road like a fish out of water. finally after a minute or so, (i was already far away by this time) i saw it had stopped moving and was lying smack in the middle of the road. i wonder if i could have saved it. but it was after 11pm and there were no vets around open. all i can hope for is that the kitty doesn't become this.

my 10 days

2005-09-09T02:05:00.000+08:00

those people at Blizzard entertainment have a dastardly strategy to ensnare people into the World of Warcraft. ever since how many donkey years ago, a few of my friends have been living there in Durotan server having grand adventures.

BUT, i was given an oppurtunity to sample this exciting new horizon due to a free 10 day guest pass. only problem was, i couldn't chat in private chat rooms, couldn't axcess mail, cannot trade with other players, and cannot level beyond 20. but who cares it was FREE.

after the lengthy instalation and patching process, i finally entered the laggy world of warcraft. (of all times i chose to play, streamyx was going thru some shizz)

well anyways, it was a fun and immersive experience, and i had a blast, and it was only REALLY fun when you've got friends you know there. cos it's such a detailed system, you can actually flirt and hump random things in the game. sorry, don't tell blizzard i said that haahahha

but 10 days are over and all i got were these lousy screenshots.

the shoot

2005-09-03T04:18:00.000+08:00

This was my final assignment for photography class last term which i submitted, featuring one of our lovely babi gang, Rachel!

THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH RACHEL for giving us your time and effort to make our shoot a success. thank you also my fellow group members, rowan for lending us her hair pins, and also to adobe for creating that program called photoshop.

it was a long day, starting at 5 am, with us making our way all the way to taman melawati, dealing with make up and hair, people, and also trying not to feel self conscious with the old man doing tai chi in one corner, and the other bunch of housewives who were doin tai chi and line dancing while we ran around taking photos. it was hectic cos we were all sharing one model in our group of six while having to produce one set of shots each. (it's an individual output, but group preparation).

our idea came from trying to use a "modern geisha" concept, and also the fact that her dress is actually just made up of ONE piece of black cloth 6 meters long, which was not cut or sewn, just pinned and clipped on her. The photos were taken with slide film on a regular slr camera (nikon F110), the slides were then scanned , digitised, and texturized and such in a PC.

it's a late and pleasant evening.

you are one of the only two people left in the starbucks that night. one of you orders a grande rhumba frap to share, and we exchange chuckles over silly things said over a laptop.

near closing time, the manager gives you two muffins for free, they're cold, but one of them is a coffee choc one that still tastes scrumptious, but tastes even better cos it's being shared too and crumbs are flying all over the place.

the blueberry one is almost like rubber and one of you dissects it, much to the disgrace of the clean floor, now carpeted with even more crumbs.

the little looks, the laughs. the company.

it ain't perfect. but i'll take it anyway. perfect things lack character.

the weather has been freaky. it's a sign, yesterday, at 5.30pm ish, there was a hailstorm that seems to have been limited to SS14 Subang Jaya.

The experience is best described as someone throwing buckets of marbles from the 5th storey window.

Argh! cos of the craptastic haze, everything has the lingering taste of smoke now, it's amazing that darurat belum diishytiharkan. My butter pecan baskin experience was ruined by the everpresent aftertaste of burnt slippers.

damn, why is it there's always a catch?!

FINALLY i drove my mom from here to taman tun (to pick my grandma) without any incident, and using the fastlane mostly (woo hoo), when she asks me whether i should be getting out of my P license. i took out the card, and seems it's been about a week since it expired.

GAH

so now i'm REALLY barred from driving even tho i've finally gained enough confidence to zoom zoom vroom vroom. grrrr

not to worry, by friday i'll be getting my license with a goofy haricut pic on it. which incidentally got me in a small argument with my mom yet again.

i wanted to get my license done ASAP, so i decided to take some insta-digital passpok/driba lesen photos at ss15. took the bus from college, was lucky and din have to wait (i was guessing fate was on my side by this time), got the photos done, collected my processed film for a college assignment, and on to drop my expired "P" at my old driving school. yay three birdies with one stone.

came home, feeling all accomplished for getting so many things done in one day, which is rare in my usual procrastinatory fashion, when my mom pops the bubble by marah-ing me for getting insta-digital passpok/driba lesen photos at ss15. which cost 20 bucks (i get a CD with the pics anyway), rather than a normal negative which is about 10 bucks, and for not really inquiring about the price of the "P" removal.

the lady in the shop charged my RM50 to send it for me and to renew my lesen for a year. i have no friggin idea how much she is chargin for the service and how much is the actual license. boo hoo. kena marah.

on the bright side, i'll be getting my REAL license tommorow. and the streets shall fear my name. "The Moving Roadblock"

another thought : i think it's gonna be hilarious that i'll be getting a haircut sometime soon and will look next to NOTHING like my pic in the license. ohohohoh

attack of the MyVi

2005-06-28T17:58:00.000+08:00

a few weeks ago, i was walking home from the bus stop when i saw something small on the metal steps of the metal pedestrian walk. at that time, i did not know that there have been postcards going around with the new perodua car to be made into models at that time. so, at night, the little car that was on the steps looked a tad creepy. it only looks bright cos of the flash. i was under the impression that it was some sort of remembrance thingie. or one of those things you get from chinese prayer shops...where you burn paper versions of earthly possessions.

even at that time, even not knowing what it really was, i took pictures anyway. it was pretty surreal.

one thing's for sure, the MyVi will always be known as the hungry ghost car to me now.

Randomness

Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people's attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.

fwoooh. whatta long day. bloody rm10 for a cab to taman paramount lrt station from subang grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.!@#$@#%!$%

dern it man, auditioned for a production of green tea. got too see sedaya. it be red, white and big. TOA feels so cottage industry hahaha.

then flied to ACTS school. i still can't recall how to get there. i just know vaguely that it's behind securities commision somewhere.

recital time: almost like ykls family reunion, hehehe. farewells too. regina, tyler, annette, all have to go soon. *sigh

but on to other things. CS lewis once said that making up your mind about something is always a cheering things, no matter what the decision was. i'm finding that true. you see, i finally managed to talk to and settle my situation with the production of M!Opera. my current course at The one academy and the rehearsal and commitment demands clash like flamingo pink on swamp green. it was decided it would be best to leave the cast as my missing rehersals and not being able to concentrate well, on my college(graduating year) and the show at the same time is not a desirable situation.

it was a wonderful experience being able to be part of the production for that short time. i wish the best of luck to my fellow cast and crew members and great sucess in the future production! who knows maybe i'll try out again if the show goes to tour after i graduate haha.

but on to the future!

wow what a day.

after unnaturally going to bed around 12.30 the night before, i awoke out of strenght of habit after 7 hours of sleep. thus, i awoke at 7 ish am. waaaaay too early, when ryonn was supposed to pick me up. oh well, so i lay in bed listening to patrick stewart reading out "the last battle" by CS Lewis to me. i roll out soon after and attempt to rid myself of the sleep deprived zombie feeling.

damn, need to water plants, i remember in the shower, but then i look out, and lo and behold! it is raining! fate smiles on me today.

so we leave for genting, in the car was annette, mei yee, and ian, with ryonn driving. had a bite of dim sum, and off we went to genting to catch oliver. turns out karak was jammed, so we took the scenic route and saw a really pretty lake.

sampai genting, and felt like a sardine. it was a triple combo killer. public holiday, weekend, and school holiday. the lobby of first world hotel looked like a refugee camp, with little groups of people huddling together, waiting to be checked in. it was pretty ridiculous, why do we malaysians tolerate this type of treatment as paying customers?

anyway, show was at 1.30, we were at the theatre at around 1.15. express lunch man.

oliver oliver oliver. the show was fun, but the SOUND! gosh, it was so unbalanced, at most times the sound was really loud and harsh, and really detracted from enjoying the music, it made it sound like they just wanted volume, and not quality. if they improved on that, i think the show wouldn've been SOOOOOoooOOooo much better.

after show, we wandered around and the otehrs wanted a bite, so we were at one of the overpriced food stores. this time, a nasi kandar place. the food wasn't bad, but RM6 FOR A PIECE OF FRIED CHICKEN?! and also RM3 FOR A MILO AIS?! i wasn't even hungry but i lost my appetite.

coming down we dropped off ian back at KLPAC to get his car, managed to get a guided tour in and about the new place, while we ran into nala. it's so exciting wandering around that place, it's the combination of a lot of glass, light, grass, trees, rolling hills, running water, and the feeling of space all around, you get really excited at all the possibilities. so excited in fact, that we we're frolicking around the park area and all over the place, oblivious to whoever was there.

having nothing else to do, we all decided to catch Somewhere in the middle

Somewhere in the Middle: Sat 4 & Sun 5, Jun 2005 (Sat: 8.30 pm; Sun: 3 pm). By the Compagnie Moglice Von-Verx, a theatrical trapeze performance combining dance, poetry, music, and swinging acrobats. At the KL PAC.

it was a really artsy performance, almost like trying to understand a work of abstract art. you could fall into the trap of overanalysis.

and that was my day. not bad for a saturday.

and tommorow looks like another long day. day day day. daa daa.

oh and by the way, to those who have nothing else better to do on the 11th of june, you can come by to Frame Network, at plaza damas in sri hartamas area at...i'm not so sure the time :P

but i'll bge having a joint recital with carrie, annette and me.

that's all for now folks.

aaaargh. what a bloody fiasco. i want to hide at home till the whole bloody thing blows over. i knew i din look my best when i was there that morning for the photoshoot and interview, cos i had been up till 6 am the night before, on a design inspiration run. (i just go with an idea when i strike one). henceforth i looked like a druggie zombie. pasty too. it also just hit me that probably half of malaysia now can recognize my pasty white self. it wasn't so bad on sunday morning, when not many have read the papers.

it's gonna be so awkward going to college on monday again. oh lordy, give me strength, and may my college mates display maturity and sympathy.

*sigh* well, the only consolation i have is that i be looking much taller than my bro muahhahaha. small (pun intended) consolation, but i'll take what i can get at the moment.

it's all because we got spotted having breakfast at coffee bean one sunday morning by a friend of a friend of the Star editor. parents happened to be out of town, so it was just me, my bro, grandma, the wheelchair, and plates of scrambled eggs that morning. seemed to be something so bloody unsusual, don't see how tho.

i will survive!!! mesti muka tembok a till the taunting and heckling stops.

anyways...

the YKLS is gonna be having its next spectacular spectacular show coming up! we're gonna be featuring a live harp in our concert, who will be accompaniying as well as soloing during the concert. come come, bring your boyfriend/ girlfriend, auncle/aunties, sugardaddies/sugarmamas, etc. it will be a musical experience, featuring a lot of special compositions that are inspired by the four seasons.

recently i've discovered that i really like campbells tomato soup. especially if it's made with one can of milk instead of one can of water. mmmmmmm

ever since i started reading Yakitate! Japan, my interest in bread has had yeast added to it, and is now expanding. but sadly, all experiences with gourmet or quality bread has been limited to the occasional hotel dining occasion.

delifrance and carrefour baguets are not bad, but there's still something lacking. bread story and bread talk and rotiboy? it's mostly lots of butter bread or repackaged white bread with spangles added. they all have their tasty numbers, true, but nothing really tastebud shattering.(in my limited experiences with their baked combustibles so far that is.)

but then...i had my SUN MOULIN experience. it's got that japanese refined quality to its products, but with competitive local prices. as in about in average RM2 a pastry.(which is loverly considering the quality)

there was this amazing thing called a strawbery ommelette. don't let the name deceive you, it's actually a thin clice of the softest sponge cake rolled up with a fresh strawberries and cream filling. YUM. they also had the best tastng croissant i have had in a long time. it's light and crunchy on the outside, and fluffy and buttery on the inside, best part was that it didn't collapse when you bit into it, the thing just melts in our mouth as you sink your teeth in. if only i had some coffee when i was in the car munching on it.

am definitely gonna buy more when i go there again. and the cakes look so inviting. hopefully the rest of their goods taste this good as well, cos they've got a wonderful variety of special breads that are pig out worthy.

i swear i'm not being paid by them, tho if they do see this post i hope i get free samples. ohohohoh.

ach, the "holidays" are here.
shit one week has already flown by. why am i not having the time of my life after going thru the time of my near-death pass me by?! hehehe

but it's been a whirlwind week. sang at sheraton subang. in swedish, and estonian, and a good dose of "ding dili". the organizers knew more about the songs than we did. malunyer.

i got into the mah jong groove at queenbabi's place, and happy bday to zebrabi. i finally realised how uneducated i am in the recreational habits inherent to my culture. but...it's probably in my blood, i'm enjoying it more and more. can't wait to play again. maybe cos i had help and so called beginner's luck, winning 2 out of the 3 rounds i played. i think. had carrot milk instead of teh ais. my brain tak boleh tahan.

and, for some reason, i've been waking up with the right side of my head experienceing a lingering dull pain. it's been that way for the better part of this week. it's either my head's been getting heavier(with lead i suppose, not actual brain matter), or someone's been sitting on my head before i wake up.

what a day. i got the rehersal time wrong. ended up late for rehersal. only after coming home i realised i sweared in front of the composer.

ohshitshitshitshitshit. fark.

hitched a lift from somone to bandar tun razak. took star line lrt to bandaraya station, which is very near sogo. misread the map and walked in the wrong direction to the interchange ktm station. walked all the way to the old old main station, the one near heritage hotel. at least got to walk thru dataran merdeka and see it personally on foot. a first for me. hmmm getting onto the starline lrt also was a first for me. wow! it was a hot day.

anyways, got to carrefour station. eventually. so late. so zonked. parents had made a deal that they would only be wiling to pick me up from that station. i realise i made a really really big circle from PJ to Sri Petaling to KL to Subang. *does sotong movements to properly express my dissapointment in myself* still not hopping mad tho. just really really out of it by that time.

anwyays, parents get me. want to go shopping at parkson and carrefour. fine. we need milk.

feel slightly vindicated because managed to get 2 tops for 19.90, at F.O.S sale. they be bright orange.

got home. asked for allowance. got into a minor spat with financers. told that i need to get a job, and that i should work out the complications because if i want the money i should work for it and quit whining. i feel put down but i cannot get angry because they are right. but then my dad pulls out a electric weighing scale which can read my body fat percentage. it seems i am slightly over, and since i am a sedentary creature,(despite such anomalies as me walking all around KL today and having dance class last night), i must excersize more. i must control my diet and my habits. he urges me to get a job teaching bodyjam classes. even tho i am a little clueless a the moment how to fit that into my life.

it's all a lil overwhelming, i must say. not angry, just feel very hopeless and reeking of poor self image. optimism puts up a fight, winamp deserves an amnesty award.

shit. i have not done any substantial work or studying at all. marketing mid term is up, magazine design is piling, packaging design lays virtually untouched, illustration is like filling a well with a colander, presentation and social ettiquette is a mystery hidden in a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

i am avoiding seeing the mountain for fear i'll fall of the cliff. i need to help myself get out of this. it starts tonight. i shall *gasp* sleep before 2 am. baby steps baby steps.

...

i need a drink.

i realised i finished rehersal at 2pm-ish, and got back to subang around 5pm-ish. or later. uuurgh

selamat dateng kanak-kanak sekalian, saya telah ditimpa inspirasi menterjermahkan klassik televisyen berpendidikan ini untuk faedah..tiada sesiapapon. tetapi, kecanggihan bahasa ku tidak boleh mengecapi ketinggian kemahiran yang ditunjukkan oleh si-fu saya di sini.

dia merupakan inspirasi saya dan saya akan bertindak seperti saya tidak mengenalinya dan tidak memberi sebarang kredit apabila saya memenangi hadiah nobel sastera, oleh kerana aku adalah kelahiran generasi cinta cetak rompak. ini adalah kewajipan saya kepada ahklak masa kini yang patut dipromosi dan amat "chun" sekali.

tetapi, ku sudah lari topik. saya tidak akan minta maaf kerana kamu masih membaca dan padan muka.

oh tidak! oh kepahitan jiwaku merentasi lautan mengaum! saya sudah terlupa adegan yang patut diceritakan. hanya yang boleh diingati adalah skandal berkualiti seumpama edisi siasat dan kisah benar, yang akan membongkar misteri hubugan sulit antara burung besar dan raksaksa biskut, dan kenapa si oskar bermuram masih ingin tinggal sebagai sampah masyarakat. (ini bukan metafora, kerana si oskar tinggal dalam tong.)

aduhai aduhai apa yang sedang berlaku kepada masyarakat masa kini?! ini yang boleh diceritakan buat masa kini kerana ku sudah malas ber taip taip.

biar saya mengakhiri sesi ini dengan gubahan puisiku tulen dan tidak cetak rompak punya. jika tidak jelas, boleh pulang balik sebelum satu minggu.

daging khinzir dipanggang,
memang harum asapnya,
bahasa malaysia bahasa kita,
sila gunakan bila boleh.

rasalah kehebatan puisiku, yang sangat istimewa tidak boleh digambambarkan.

haih, all you closet blog readers out there. if i had known there were actually ppl who see my crap here, other than alybabi and myself, i might have put more effort into what i write. :D

anyways, it seems there is a plot to go to redang, and it's actually moving along! wow, what a change form our grand plans of post SPM celebratory trips which never materialized but only accumulated in reunions to SS15 drive thru McD's mostly organized by *ahem*.(names shall not be mentioned here, for i do have some sort of semblance of pity in my soul, as dubious as that may sound.)

now lies the question of funding. oh lords of cash cows give me strength and guidance. i shall either have to go the way of anorexia nervosa, or use my salesman pitch, or what's left of my new year money. i wonder if there's anyone i can blackmail. anybody willing to be my sugardaddy/momma? hehehe

i hear the blackmarket trade in organs is profitable...hmmmmmm...

phew.

i survived. i survived. *cue inspiring gospel choir number here*

in a valiant show of misplaced heroism, i tried to clean my room. that's right i actually stopped habitually writing it on my "to do" and "resolutions" list and actually went and did it!! yeah.

it's quite worrying seeing the amount of notes and other random crap i've accumulated over the past 2 years. i've uncovered some unsuspected thinigs, like my lost sense of neatness and organization. two things that sadly will forever be dead to me... at least until i move into my own place and have ikea sponsor all my furniture. oh how i love those scandanavians and their modular space saving storage appliance designs.

note* do something about weak willpower and discipline.

so now and i am revelling in that short-lived euphoria that i have not felt since i found an old angpow packet lying in my desk with some money in it.

it is indeed a feat of respiration that i managed to keep my sanity amidst clouds of dust and heat and runny noses and itchy nostrils and underwear riding into my crack due to the sweat.

yes, ladies and gentlemen, i am proud that i can finally see the surface of my desk after many months of helpless wandering about the house in search of an empty flat space to do my illustration assignments. my mother shall rejoice that i'll no longer leave elbow grease stains on the glass tops of the tables downstairs.

and there shall be feasting and joyous sounds throughout my little world in my head till the next battle against the trash pile. what i need now is a little plastic mannequin hand-onna-stick to pat myself on the back. 8D

BEFORE, sorta | this is more like what the place looked like while i was clearing. i was using the "take everything out and put it back in properly" strategy. beautifully simple in theory, but a painstaking bugger to actually do.

AFTER | note there's an actual flat space on my desk.

and now, for something completely different...
