Back in KL & The Fabulosity So Far

Eh tak sampai sekejap jer at KT and already I bergegas back to KL, with very little people knowing. Ahaks some people don't even know I left KL in the first place. The reason for me coming back is a very complicated one involving my dad, a sudden seminar, fucked up dates and a few classes of students potentially left with no one to guide their progress in education. Barf lol.

So anyways, I packed my shit up and climbed onto the fastest double-decker bus back to KL, practically with no one knowing ;) Anyways, life back here isn't supposed to be filled with fabulosity. It's supposed to be spent going through countless ads and notices so that come September, I won't be a homeless slut in an all-new environment. But seriously, fuck all the classifieds. I've been sitting at the computer for days going through a massive amount of classifieds (among doing other things of course) and yet I'm nowhere near a room. GRR. Maybe it's time to do the manual thing and bang door-to-door searching for accomodation. And also, call upon whatever limited contacts I have to beg for help.

Like I said, I was supposed to be filling my life with all this dreary stuff of house-hunting but, I can’t help if fabulosity knocks at my door right? Barely 5 hours after reaching KL, I was already terrorizing MidValley.

What to do? Both Mama and I needed new threads for our night-time activities :D
Recently have been going out with Mama a lot, and doing lots of catching up. Really feels like our high school ages (forgive me for being in denial about my real age, again) except that now, we're wiser and ehem, more experienced in certain aspects heheh and we've lost the dork look, hopefully.



Andy joined us at night, and we went to the New Place instead of the Usual. Definitely much hotter. It's been sooo friggin long since the last time just the three of us went out. You can tell that things have changed. I used to like, kinda look up to Andy, like he's the mostest senior one and like, he's this ferocious fashionista but don't really feel that way anymore. And I'm sure that Andy feels the same too, cuz he's less talkative and the two things he said made me know for sure - he referred to me as "former best friend" and then he said, "like I don't know you anymore". Sad sad :( I know we're still good friends, but it's like people grow up and lots of things change I guess.

The next day was BuatBuat's convocation. Both me and Cyntia already told her that we can't make it cuz we wanted to see her OTT buat buat reaction when we do the whole 'HI! SURPRISE~~~' thing, and we weren't disappointed. From far away we can already see her doing the whole OH with the big big eyes and everything LOL LOL LOL. It would be muuuuch better if there were tears, but that's not her thing, it's the specialty of her roomie, the one and only JC. And according to her, the surprise was not 'high' enough, so there was no need for tears. Thanks HowYee, made my trip back from KT just to see you feel soooo worthwhile. Hngh. (LOL I'm kidding, I know you read this during lunchtime so hehehe cheers :D Don't termuntah) After her convo we went bergedik gedik at Pavilion and she belanja us satu dozen donuts to show her love and appreciation awwwww....

A semi-nasty picture, which is like, my default setting.

And then a so called 'normal' one which she can show to everyone else and not kept together with the other Victoria's Secrets ;)
I finally redeemed my convocation gift meal from my dad via my sister. LOL sounds so complicated, like Jac is a free meal voucher hahaha. Was supposed to get it in Genting last couple weeks but food up there mostly sucks and anyways, Lim Goh Tong took the food money from my dad. So we were left starving by the slot machines. LOL! So because I didn't had any lunch and was dead bored, I texted my beloved sis and asked her out to dinner. She marah me very kao lat cuz I was sooo last minute and she was sooo ugly hahaha. So I brought her a blouse (which I ironed first, OMG I'm such a lovely brother) to change into, which was totally unneccesary cuz she spilled food on it. Dirty pig lol. Felt so meletup, the calories I lost by skipping lunch came back in double during dinner bwhahaha.

Pre-makan camwhoring

Camwhoring during starters

Enough food for two hungry pigs

And yet, still feeling voracious grr

After we finished makaning, we saw this totally gruesome thing which made us almost throw back up again. KLCC was closing when we wanted to chao and we heard this horrid screams and saw a guard running towards the screams. We thought there was like a gang fight or pek yao going on so we walked, as calmly and as un-kaypoh as possible towards the same direction. What we saw was totally terrifying in a very sad sad way. A cleaner auntie, who is old and very tiny, seemed to have gotten her hand stuck in an escalator. We couldn't see very clear what happened so it might seem like illogical to get a hand stuck in an escalator but seriously, she was sitting down and crying + screaming in total pain. Everytime someone tried pulling her hand out, she screamed with fresh pain. It was totally too much to handle. We left hoping to god that she would be ok.

Yesterday was Rong's farewell but no blogs about it yet cuz I'm too lazy to transfer the pics right now. Should be up in a couple days :)

A Reaaaallly LOOOONG Catch Up Post

You know how people always say like, the grass is greener on the other side blah the blah blah. Funny cuz its pretty much true. Like a few weeks back while I was in KT I kept saying that I was dying of boredom and my brain was rotting and all sorts of shit. Then I went back to KL and I felt sorta the same thing like life was also pretty much meaningless - like OMFG am I having a pre-quarter life crisis? - and I started missing all the tiny crappy KT things like sunrises & sunsets and most importantly, Zie's! Even the pesky tuition kids that I help tutor for me dad suddenly looked attractive, considering it was the only job I had. Yep, I failed miserably at finding a uber-glam job in KL. I don't know why I set out with intentions to look for a job, it turns into a shopping trip. Maybe I should stop trying to look for jobs at ab-fab places that make me wanna buy their clothes ;)
So I don't know what to think that the moment I get back to KT, I get to experience all the so-called well-missed things, all in the same day. Like, my dad woke me up at an ungodly hour cuz he needed to go to the airport and there I have it, 4 hours sleep and my beloved sunrise. And then cuz he was in KL, it means that I gotta take some of his classes and ta-dah, reunited with the appreciation-challenged, noisy snarky students I love so much. Thank God for Zie's with Mama :D
Anyways since this is like the philosophy of my being, it is only natural that now I'm back in KT, I'm gonna start reminiscing shit about my shallow but fab-packed life in KL right? Right. Already start missing the hectic pace, the malls, the clubs and the toxic air of city life LOL. And since I'd practically ignored my blog while I was in KL, I figured now would be a pretty good time to post da pics of all I did in KL last couple weeks :)
So the mainest thing that happened, and also the official reason for me to go back was my convocation ceremony. Yep, the result of studying hard (and also playing hard), countless assignments and bloody exams for two whole years is so I can spend 1 and a half hour waiting in a hall in an unflattering and uncomfortable robe to go onstage for 30 seconds and receive an empty blue scroll thingy that make funny poppish noises. Wel, at least it gave the OHF gang yet another reason to camwhore kao kao! Many of them had loads of family members with them. In a way it was kinda sedih for me lar, but then it's okay cuz I imagine it would be dead boring for them plus, I still plan to have several more convocations if possible. LOL. My dear dear sister was so kind, she bought me flowers! Even though flowers aren't really my thing, but it means that kiasu me won't have to feel so left out when everyone else pose with their huge bouquets :P

Well anyways there we were, posing with the bloody hats and scrolls and someone had this extremely clever and original idea of throwing them hats - are they even called hats? - into the air for the really graduate kinda feel. Like, clever right? I was like, please don't be so gaybai do you think you're shooting a poster or something? No one listened and were all for the damn idea. Once was not enough. Nor was twice. By the third time it's like so melebih lebih but they still wanna throw them hats up and hey, as luck would have it, someone's hat hit me in the face with its sharp edge. Never felt so beautiful. I was already feeling like shit for that few days so getting maimed really made me just wanna cry! LOL
The rest of the convo pics, most are already on my Friendster though:

Maybe she confused me for one of her popstar idols from behind??
There's always time to camwhore, even though in a no-camera zone waiting to go onstage.
Going back to KL also meant that nights on weekends will be much much fuller with life. Bitch is talking bout nightlife LOL. Since I was deprived of club smoke for soo long, I originally planned to hit up all the usual spots and then some not only on Saturdays but also Fridays and Thursdays and Sundays. Desperate right? But its a situation my cash flow and my friends' schedules don't allow cuz unlike me, they actually have jobs and classes to attend. Oh boo. So I only managed to go for like, twice or three times which I suppose is better than not going at all.

First night, with Mama @ the usual

Andy's birthday, where for the first time ever, I mixed my college friends with my old skool friends. Thank god no awkward situations arose where I have to run back and forth between two groups cuz no one was talking whew. My bitches are cool!

Back in KT, I found myself a new twin sister and when I got back to KL, Mary-Kate did not disappoint. Like me, he was without school or job so we had pleeenty of time to lepak around. And since his hati dah pun berkecai kecai, we really did went out a lot. Even had slumber parties over at his place in Bukit Jalil. Which was where they had a fun faaair woo hoo. First time we went it was after 12 so the place was closing and I said I wanna go once more to play the rides. So the second time we went a bit earlier and the rides were open. There were actually only a few rides, like 3 or 4 that seemed like fun so we decided to start with the one that looked the funnest which was this huge ass thing that swings you round and round and up and down.

Look at how tall it is! It was seriously fun cuz you're like hanging on while being thrown and twisted in god knows what directions and at the highest point, you get to see out real far. Too bad that when we came down, I felt like someone unscrewed my head and reattached it upside down. I went all the way there and I was only able to play ONE ride cuz I was too effed up to play any other rides after that monster. Since even the carousel would make me throw up at that point, we decided to go win some prizes. When I saw there were SpongeBobs to be won, I absolutely couldn't resist!

I tried real hard but all I managed to win was two teeny tiny ugly bears. No SpongeBob for me :(

Of course, a trip back to KL wouldn't be complete without a diva karaoke session with KZT. And since we too fabulous to do morning sessions anymore, we went for the night one. And I was sooo looking forward to it cuz I really felt like I could be the next Ashlee Simpson but bad lucked as I was, I came down with flu. Which was more or less my fault for doing what I did, but still! UGH! My voice totally got fucked up, my eyes looked bengkak as hell and I got a clown's nose.

This is how every single shot of the four of us looks like! Always the same positions and poses, different settings and clothes. Worse is when we're at DK GBX, we always camwhore in front of the wall near the toilet. LOL

After exhausting my quota of fun in KL, I was just about to wonder what else I can do to occupy my little fickle mind for the next couple of weeks when lo n behold, parents to the rescue. They said they were coming down for a long weekend holiday and whisked us up to Genting. But not before I redeemed all the messages God sent me hehehe ;)

Camwhoring in the cold weather

And we saw this really cute wind thingies that Cyntia has, so hey anakku, this picture is for you! Muah! Short legs rock!

STATION KOPITIAM Sucks!

In fact, the whole of Times Square sucks! Had such a horrible day there yesterday! Grr~~ It all started when me and MK wanted to go for a movie -I know, I go out with MK everyday but he's the only one always free and available! Unlike some others :( - and since we're bored of MidValley and Pavilion we decided on Times Square. Bad ch0ice.

When we reached the cinema right, the person that sells the tickets checked our student IDs. I mean, all the other GSCs don't do this and of all times to check, they do it now, when my student ID is expired. I know, they're just doing their job but still, sooo annoying. And then, it turns out that for the movie we're watching (Journey to the Centre of the Earth), they DO NOT provide 3D goggles even though it's promoted as a 3D film and on the GSC website, it says that the goggles will be provided. Like WTF bitches? They say goggles are only provided at MidValley so anyone who wanna watch this movie the way it should be watched should deffo go to MV. There are loads of scenes in the movie which I think will rock if we had them stupid goggles.

And then and then, we reached the most angering, frustrating part of my day at Times Square; Station Kopitiam. When we wanted to order, all the waiters just pretended they didn't see us so that their other colleagues will tend to us. Took like 15 minutes just to get any sort of service. The serving waiter was sooo dumb ass, he kept asking us to repeat our orders. It was just a simple fried rice with two milkshakes. And still he messed it up cuz when the drinks came, my milkshake was lemon. I ordered chocolate. Asshole looked sooo unhappy when I asked him to change the drink. Apparently, getting the drink right is such a difficult task that when finally, my chocolate arrived, MK has already finished all his stuff. I took one sip of that damn chocolate and told MK 'did they like put poison in my drink cuz I told them to change it?' cuz it tasted disgusting, like there were cockroaches or something crawling in the glass. MK said it tasted of soap water. Ew. I asked MK whether I'm a bitch if I complain about it. MK said nuh uh it's our rights. MK said OMG you're gonna be so fierce. I said no I'm always nice and sweet when I complain. So I called a waiter over.

Me: Excuse me, air ni kan, baunya pelik lah.
Waiter 1: OK. (Runs off)

Whatthefuck was that? He like totally disregarded me. So I called Waiter 2 over.

Me: Scuse me, air ni busuk. Ada masalah ke?
Waiter 2: Nanti I pergi check.
Me: U nak check apa? I kata air saya ada problem.
Waiter 2: Tunggu I pergi check.

Double WTF. He ran to the kitchen to check... Check what??? Dear God. I called Waiter number 3 over. I was ready to blow.

Me: I dah beritau 2 orang tadi. Air saya ni busuk.
Waiter 3: Tunggu ya. (Brings the drink to the counter)

I followed cuz I was sick of them bitches running away. At the counter, all the staff gathered and watch like I was some kind of troublemaking alien bitch.

Me: Air ni ada problem. Busuk sangat. I dah tak nak tukar, so I'l just pay the bill. You orang akan charge untuk air ni tak?
All of them was like Huh?
Me: Siapa tahu cakap Melayu kat sini?
They were HUH?
Me: U semua kat sini, takde satu yang tahu cakap Melayu?! I beritahu you, air ni ada problem. I tak nak bayar untuk air ni. Cuba you minum tengok?
Some stupid bitch used a tiny spoon and sipped the bubbles and said
Stupid Bitch: Betul air ni. Tak salah.
Me: (Half -slammed huge bag on table) Apa maksud you tak salah? I minum kan ada bau lipas, kawan I kata macam air sabun. U cuba minum dengan straw tu! Jangan nak minum sikit sikit macam tu! U minum tengok busuk ke tak?
Stupid Bitch 2: Tapi you order chocolate. Ini chocolate. Betul.
Me: I tahu lah yang ni chocolate. Masalahnya, chocolate ni busuk! Ada bau lipas! So I tak nak bayar untuk air ni, faham?
At last, a semi-smart person stepped up
Semi-Smart: So encik, you nak macam mana? You nak kita tukar?
Me: Tak, I dah tak nak tukar. I just nak bayar untuk nasi goreng tadi tu dan milkshake satu lagi. Boleh?
Semi-Smart: OK, OK. (Gets the bill, we pay, we go)

OMG it was like soooo frustrating I was surprised I didn't pop a blood vessel or something. It totally fucked up my day and my perception of Times Square and foreign workers in general. Starting from yesterday onwards, I'm gonna be sticking to my 2nd home Pavilion and I bet all the foreign workers in Times Square gonna know that I'm a huge pain in the ass bitch LOL

Poor Kak Lim masuk hospital yesterday. Started having food poisoning the night before but it wasn't so serious. Became very bad in the morning and afternoon and since I was the only one around, teman her to the clinic. After one injection, many medicines and a few hours, she still didn't get better so we had to take her to the hospital. My first time driving someone to the hospital. I know it's not much to shout about, and absolutely not a very nice thing, but I felt so grown up, ya know? Like one of those good guy characters in TV dramas that get to send the lead actress to the hospital cuz of some dramatic accident, then fall in love, marry, turn out to be a killer and generally fuck up the lead actress and the police and everyone and omg, sorry, got distracted. Anyways, we went to Tawakal, which brought back soooo many memories which were supposed to be horrible cuz I had dengue and had thingies stuck up my arm and someone poked 2 needles in me each morning to draw my precious blood but weirdly, my time spent in the hospital doesn't feel that way. In fact in some kind of twisted way it bordered on nice. OHF even calls it Tawakal Resort cuz when I was there, it felt like a holiday as the whole big gang came everyday, usually a few times per day, bringing lots of food, gossip and laughter, bugging patients and nurses alike until they can't figure out who and where the sick person is. So when we returned this time, I couldn't resist snapping some pics since I missed out on the camwhore sessions the last time around just lying in bed.

Chinyee was behind the curtains getting TWO painful injections in the ass. We felt so kesian for her so we took pictures of our sad little faces :(
Chinyee resting after the whole thing. NOT an overnight ward stay cuz that would cost like a couple thousand bucks, ridiculous right? Good thing that came out from all this, is Chinyee finally lost weight after trying for twenty years. Good job! Let's hope the 5 kgs don't come back!
Today, after finally getting all my certs and shit compiled and done, I went to my new college to finish up applications and credit transfer and blah blah blah. Went to MaryKate's new house first cuz he was soooo lonely at home alone. Ran around in MK's very empty large living room then he teman me to my new college. When we reached, we were like sooo lost but cuz we're the glamorous Olsen twins, we pretended like we knew the place well and walk like we had a purpose LOL. Shit still not done cuz of ONE bloody sentence in my transcript. Ugh. Gotta be back again next week to settle it once and for fucking all and also to house-hunt. Double ugh.
Slutting it up in the LRT on the way to the college ;)
Because it was drizzling and because we were coming back again, I decided to leave househunting till the next trip. Which meant that we were freeee. It was only 4. MK stated that MidValley is only 2 stations away. I suggested that maybe we could go watch a movie or something. MK agreed enthusiastically. A plan was formed and off we go!

Desperate to be stared at the KTM station.

After everything was all done, I was supposed to go back to MK's for a sleepover party how fun! But MK suddenly received an SMS and omg, he suddenly has a date! As he has been fantasizing about it sooo friggin' long, I decided that no, I will not be a lamppost nor a wet blanket. Usually I throw mega tantrums if my plans don't go accordingly but since MK's my twin sis and he seems to be on the point of orgasm just by receiving an sms, I waved him off to his date with all my blessings. AWW. Which meant that I was going back GK alone. Everyone dah pun makan so when I reached I gotta makan alone. I was cooking instant noodles on one side of the stove and I saw that Crazy Auntie was cooking something fancy and complicated on the other side for her daughter and I can't help comparing and thinking 'god two people living in the same house, one gets home-cooked food and mother's love, one gets extra-salty seasoning from indomie.... haih' I bet even the Crazy Auntie pitied me cuz you know, I was having problems just from cooking instant noodles. LOL a chef I am not.

The poor boy eats the instant noodles he cooked all by his lonesome, while in the background, the mother accompanies her daughter while she eats something cooked with lots of fish, veggies and love.

1st Post Since Returning to KL

Been one full week since coming back to KL yet I'm only blogging now cuz I was so uninspired and totally unmotivated to just sit in front of the monitor and type for like half an hour. There's so much else to see and do in KL. LOL ;)
Anyways, when I returned to beloved C-21-4, lots and lots have changed.
a) No more Sasha
b) No more GK gang housemates
c) New roommate

So yeah, the most major was that my cutey-pie baby Sha was no longer my 24/7 companion. It was such a big change cuz previously, life kinda revolved around her - like I can't stay out the whole day or run away from home cuz someone needs to feed her, and like 70% of all my chores involve her - feeding her, cleaning her, cleaning up after her, etc etc. Now that she's not here, life's much freer and my room's definitely cleaner but I really miss the one thing that jumps up and down in happiness whenever I just walk into a room. And I'm still not used to not having her follow right behind me everywhere I go, always overexcited and over-sniffing everything. But I guess she's kinda happy with the kampung life though. She gets to run up and down two floors, there are lots of rooms and corners for her to smell and explore and she gets to stalk my poor grandma through the whole house. Yup, life must be fun for her cuz she's put on serious weight. No more lifting with one hand. LOL

When I was in KT, GK Gang moved out of the house so when I came back, there was this bunch of people I absolutely do not know, sitting around the house. There was this family whom I found really annoying cuz they practically took over the whole house; their junk was all over the place in every bloody corner but I later found out they were only staying for a month cuz they were here for medical purposes so I kinda felt guilty for disliking them earlier. See, I have emotions bitches! I also discovered that the fridge was dead and the water filter has tiny organisms living in it so I really thought I was living in hell until I saw the new fridge, HowYee gave me a kettle and most most mostest importantly, The Husband of the Ultimate Bitch gave us Streamyx!! Woo hooo!! Which is the reason why I am able to lie on my bed at this ungodly hour updating my blog hahahahxx :D Anyways, the family with lots of stuff moved out and this couple that never appears moved in, and then there's this lady who never comes out of the room, so yeah, the house is pretty quiet all the time, so it's not that bad. GK Gang has been reuniting here for auntie mahjong sessions so its just like good ol' times! Except with less cooking oil fumes in the air! LOL

However, the drastic-est change of all was my new roommate, my sister! After 2 years of living more or less alone without family in KL, my sister starts her internship at the very glamorous Citibank and as the lovely, supportive brother, offered her a place to stay so that she'll feel loved and less alone in this big lonely unknown city. Well, what a shock that is. I haven't even fully adapted to the concept of the roommate, let alone that rommie being my sis. The first few days were very honeymoon-ish. We went shopping and jalan jalan around KL, and we spent unneccesary money or splurging on pricey foods and stuff I was like "you're an intern and I'm jobless, and we're spending six bucks for two slices of raw fish?" LOL. Not all fun and games though. Since masa kechik kechik, we are two very different personalities and we still clash over lots of things. Jacqie is clean but untidy while I'm not-so-clean but tidier. It's like she can throw all the bras on the floor but the floor her bras are on need to be spotlessly clean while me, I need to have all my books in order on the shelf, but I don't really care if the shelf is a wee bit dusty. And our most often conflict is over a tiny tiny detail. I love love love my dim yellow lamp and rarely switch on the bright, unromantic fluorescent but she on the other hand hates the yellow light cuz it 'buat sakit mata' so she always switches on the ugly fluorescent light which I absolutely can't stand. Well they say blood is thicker than messy clothes and ugly lighting so I'm gonna be sticking with my new roomie for a while :D
