August

Whoah. This morning, I actually bothered to wake up and go to class! I don’t know why but then something just struck me awake at 7:15am. I was a little hesitated to get my ass off the bed though but then it was just like any other ordinary Mondays. Washed up and then had a packet of nasi lemak for breakfast before leaving the house at 8:20am. Traffic was undoubtedly smooth and a minor downpour as well.

Class went on as usual, with slight disruptions as few of the student’s bags went missing after our sketch test. Ms. Tang brought us to the foyer at ground floor and we had to come up with 20 sketches in 30 minutes time. Not an easy task. The most sketches one could draw were only 16. Well, so I guess I did quite a decent job in having sketched out 13 pieces + the stupid 8B who kept breaking. Daym, I must’ve dropped it on to the floor once. The carbon lead inside has broken up into pieces.

Shits. Gotta prepare for next week’s test. Yes, I never knew that Life Drawing does have tests as well. This is obviously freaking me out. It was supposed to be held today but then postponed due to the large amount of absentees. Had lunch alone (sad huh?) and then back to more drawings. Argh! It’s damn freaking boring. Quickly get everything done and then left for Club 7 with Husni. Daym, his Kelisa sped away like a rocket while my sis’ Proton Wira were rocking so hard as if it’s going to take off anytime at 120km/h.

Here, let me tell you a little bit about my terrible experience after college. Okay, now imagine that you’re in a ‘T’ junction road with 4 lanes divided by double line. The two lanes on the left leads you all the way straight while the other two on the right is a turning. So happens, I was on the second left lane but was then caught behind a slow moving truck. I usually cruise but then for some odd reasons, I was damn impatient and so I decided to shift to the right lane to overtake this truck, and little did I know there was a fast approaching Proton Perdana.

The man obviously jammed his breaks and there were sounds of screeching tyre. Thank goodness mishaps didn’t take place but that was more than enough to make me wet my pants (almost actually ;P) I still wanna keep a clean sheet. No accidents please! Well, it was a little too late to swerve back to the second left lane so I continued making my move but that fella was blasting his horns and flashing the headlights at me.

Husni witnessed it from the back of the row of cars and he told me that the guy was actually speeding like a crazy whore and even worse, he disregarded the red light! God knows what the fcuk this fella was up to. Moreover, it is damn freaking obvious that he was on the right lane. It was supposed to be a turning lane! That’s why I wasn’t expecting him to cross. The man zoomed past me and started doing all sorts of vulgar gestures, which kinda ticked me off actually. IT WASN’T TRULY MY FAULT, YOU FCUKING BITCH! Go speed all you want and your way to HELL! And I won’t be seeing you after this cause I’m going to heaven instead.

If you still don’t get what I mean, post it in the comment and I’ll come up with a rough sketch of the road situation.

Okay, that pretty sums up the drama of my life today. Nothing much after that. Played some fun foosball and then came back home. Mom finally cooked chicken chop after for such a long time! Ooooh, yummylicious~ I was so hungry that I actually managed to finish up the two pieces of chicken. That makes it… *thinks*… half a chicken? *BURPS*

And lookie what I’ve got here. It’s a copy of Dumbass: The Movie! Proudly Malaysian made. First of it’s kind… Well, actually not really. It’s a local version of MTV’s Jackass where crazy people do crazy stunts. George happens to be one of the freakos. The 40minutes ’show’ features some of the grossiest/wickest stunts ever done so kudos to the Dumbass team! Some are quite entertaining but definitely not the part where these guys actually played with their lives. YES, they jumped right out of the busy road without any notice. One of them almost got knocked down -_-;

Ever tried cat or dog food? Even better, blend two of those together and eat it. You might wanna check out the stunt performed by these Dumbasses. I don’t wanna spoil everything so ask George for a copy of it. Make sure your stomach is empty.

I’m too lazy to upload the pictures into my photo album so there you go.

Sunday has got to be the most boring day ever. The clock ticks so slow as though it’s running out of battery. Basically spent the whole day at home before Eugene invited me to Rack for a few games of foosball. Came back home at about 6pm and then watched Room Raiders on MTV. Oh my goodness, the guy featured in this episode is such a dork. He’s so dumb he can’t even crap for nuts.

Sister decided that we go dine at Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas tonight and so off we went. Traffic was surprisingly at it’s minimum. Looks like many have gone back to hometown to spend some quality time together with their family. Only took us about 12 minutes to get to Hartamas.. And yes, call me a freak cause I actually timed the journey. *growls* Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow so be sure to check it out yeah?

Daym.. I’m currently in a state of dilemma on whether to skip Life Drawing class or not tomorrow. I’m just feeling lazy, and I bet that many will not turn up as well. I just want another day off! *stomps feet* So how ah? 2 minutes till National Day Eve! Any plans? Well I’m dead sure that I’ve none at the moment. Oh wait, I think I’ve mentioned this in my previous post… -_-; But hell with it! Second call for company to go celebrate National Day together, anyone?!

Guess I won’t be going out till late night for the next couple of weeks. According to the chinese lunar calendar, today is the beginning of the one month holiday where spirits from the netherworld will roam in the grounds of the living earth. Chinese belief states that the Gate of Hell will be opened from today onwards and so we are strongly advised not to go out once the sun has set and the day engulfed in darkness.

Evan got selected for National Service! Hahahahahaha! ROFL! Daym, I’m such a sadist… Anyway, all the best to you!

Alan Smith, who is the saviour of Red Devils, is my new hero. Manchester United managed to clinch a point during the dying seconds when Alan Smith struck from 20 yards, bypassing Blackburn Rover’s Brad Friedel who was on top notch form last night. It was total frustration when ManUtd was one goal down and they kept pushing in but just couldn’t put the ball behind the net. Brad made quite a number of fine saves which undoubtedly makes him the Man of the Match.

Oh hell, the match was toe-curling and nail-biting. So many dramas! Well, Smith’s controversial equaliser might have been resulted from a clear handball by Saha but then, oh well… Too bad for the Rovers. *beams* This also means that Manchester United is now trailing 8 points behind leaders Chelsea and Arsenal. Erk.. Not a very good start of the season.

Bah! I give up trying to get into Khidmat Negara’s official website cause it just won’t load! The list of the 85,000 candidates chosen for the next batch is officially out and 450,000 curious youths born in the year 1987 are bombarding the site to it’s very max limit. Oh well, not like it has anything to do with me already.. But then it’s just that, I’m being a sadist to see if any of my friends got picked for the ’summer camp’. *growls*

Ohohohoh! Well, maybe not anymore since the National Service Department has revised the rules and regulations for the 3 month duration of training course. Also, trainers are now being hired by the government itself so expect some REAL military-based adaptations. The course meals aren’t always a bad thing. You’ll eventually get used to the food being served after about a week or two.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be drills on handling firearms, which obviously kills the best part of the National Service. However, that is also for the sake of everyone’s safety. You know kids nowadays, with such big influential from games like Counter-strike, some pricks might just pick up the gun and start spraying everywhere, thinking they’re some l33t player fragging in de_dust.

A piece of advise for the chosen ones: Just live with the food being served. You can never live without it. And don’t try to be heroic cause all activities involve team members. Doing so will only leads you to infamy. Always look on the bright side of the National Service. 3 months is nothing. You’ll get over it in no time. Last but not least, the lyrics below might come in handy so better memorize it!

[i]Kami anak-anak Malaysia,
Berbagai bangsa, berbagai budaya.
Kami sehati sejiwa, berganding tangan demi negara~~~

Malaysia negaraku yang indah,

Ow kay.. I’m getting a little patriotic here. That’s the result of having to sing the song 6 times a week during National Service! National Day is just around the corner. Anyone celebrating anywhere or something? All I know is that I’ve no plans on that day so holler me if you’re looking for a company!

I’ve been having weird dreams lately.. Will talk about it later tonight. Bye for now.

FINALLY turned legal. Another three more years to go before I get to indulge myself into the clubbing world. I’m eighteen years of age yet I don’t look like one which is pretty damn sad, don’t you think? Bet the cashier would still ask me for my identification card whenever I purchase tickets for a particular 18+ movie. But then, at least I can now show them with pride and gracefulness! No more running away or pretending like “[i]Oh? I didn’t know it’s rated 18SG[/i]“. Daym, that’s lame -_-;

Anyhoo, just a not-so-long (hopefully) snippet of my wonderful birthday cause I don’t wanna make it long-winded and bores the shit outta you guys. Interestingly, the day kicked off with a mosquito bite on my cheek. I don’t care nuts about them sucking on my blood as I usually sleep like a log and crushing those nuisance once in a while. This time, I actually felt the pain which resulted from the ‘love bite’ and that practically woke me up for Thursday.

Washed up and then off to college as usual. I was cruising about 80-100km/h and fast approaching campus when I suddenly noticed a long stretch of cars. Was thinking and cursing how crazy these police forces are having to set up roadblocks during the wee hours of the morning. It was bumper to bumper and soon found out that a fatal accident had occured at the far curve end of the road.

Our assumptions are that the guy was speeding and tried to “[i]pek corner[/i]” but then got himself into a mishap instead. The Proton Satria was pulled over to the side of the road and firemen were actually present to amputate the top cover of the vehicle to remove the casualty. It was unsightly just by looking at the wrecked car. Chances of surviving that crash is way below 1%. Polices tried to ease the traffic but then we, being malaysians just got to slow down and catch a glimpse of the scene. Haih..

Basically half of the class were late and so was our lecturer. Did nothing much for yesterday’s class since everyone else hasn’t got their assignments done. Only few of us managed to finish up the essay and now moving on to *drum rolls* …….. [b]50[/b] sketches! Right, that’s what I got for my birthday ^^; The number isn’t a problem but thinking of how to come up with so many sketches is what that drives me crazy. Creative Studies really squeezes till the very last drip of my brain juice.

Back to Subang at about 3:00pm and then went to Club 7 with Eugene. What else? Played a few games of foosball and then headed over to the indian rojak stall. Yum yum. Came back home and went online, hoping to receive some birthday wishings from my friends *beams* 10 minutes have passed and still no wishes. I was a little disappointed and so I took a nap and woke up at 7:30pm.. My phone was bombarded with messages all of a sudden!

I am also deeply saddened by the fact that my mom actually forgot about my birthday! *cries* She only remembered after having told by my brother, who came back home and started pole dancing in front of me while singing the birthday song. Geez, weird guy he is but that’s what makes him the most adorable brother in this world! Not to mention, but irritating at times as well. Hahaha, I guess we both have the same thoughts about each other, no? ;P

Anyway, I was just being a little too fussy. Childish me. Walked over to Subang Parade and dined at TGIF! Daym, the food is lip-smacking good! It’s been such a long time since I last stepped foot into TGIFs. I used to crave for the buffalo wings but then the craze suddenly died off.. That was like 6 years ago, at least. Settled down and I was pretty jovial by then. Wowee~! Dad wasn’t present cause he has got dinner with some other people. No idea. Don’t know. Don’t care. Not like his presence will make any differences.

I had a one half BBQ Roasted Chicken and a bowl of cream of mushroom soup. OHHHHHHHH, tantalizing. Then of course, a dozen of buffalo wings! I’ve no idea what are the names of the rest of the food cause my brother was the one who ordered them. Sounds like some kinda tongue twisters to me.

So that pretty rounds up everything that happened in one of my most important birthdays. I may not have put up a massive ass-kicking celebration party but nevertheless, I enjoyed every moment spent especially together with my family. [b]THANKS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHINGS FROM ALL OF YOU[/b]. You know who you guys and girls are!

As for today, woke up early and did some final touch-ups on my analytical drawing assignment before leaving house at 8:20am. And yeah, I was late, again… Class ended early today cause my lecturer’s got something else to do. We were asked to stay until 3:30pm but then everyone rushed out of the class in no time. Hehehe! Came back home at 1:40pm and stayed in front of the computer till now. Can’t seem to work on a new layout as my brain is temporarily shut off. Assignments have robbed my sleeping hours and the eyebags are horrendous.

Slow down, you crazy child.
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile.
But then if you’re so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where’s the fire? What’s the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day.

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you’re doing fine.
You can’t be everything you wanna be before your time,
Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight.
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead.
You’re so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need.
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
You know, you can’t always see when you’re right.

You’ve got your passion. You’ve got your pride,
But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while.
It’s all right you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Taken off from 13 Going On 30 OST. Can never get enough of Jennifer Garner.. I’m dying to watch Alias Season 3! Stupid freaking antenna’s not working so no 8TV for me! *cries*

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me,

First to watch Alien vs. Predator (in the cinema =P)! [i]Curi-curi[/i] snapped a picture of the opening title. Hehehe! Crappy show I tell you. Will blog about it tomorrow. Just came back home from Sunway Pyramid not long ago and I’m sleepy… Ciao!

[b]25th August 2004[/b], [b]10:35pm[/b] :

Argh! Everyone’s beginning to use ‘daym’ and now I don’t feel much originality in it already! No idea where I picked that up from though but I do remember that ‘daym’ is rarely used way back then. But not anymore :( Hahaha, shit this is no big deal anyway so let’s just forget about it. As usual, I’ve nothing much to blog about since life has became so routine: wake up > college > nap > dinner > assignments > sleep. Still trying to adapt to it.

Everything you do needs money (obviously), but then college life in Cyberjaya is exceptionally much costlier. First of all, police has begun issuing summons to those who are found parking their cars at inappropriate places (mainly outside of the campus). George’s already hit the jackpot lottery the day before yesterday and now he’s eighty bucks poorer. Hehehe! This really scares the shit outta me so I will have to fork out RM50 for the monthy pass.

Next, art tools that we need for our classes. Each A2 sized artblock costs you about RM7.50. And I’ve already finished up two in a week. Also, 3 A3 sized sketchbooks which sum up to a total of RM33.90, just for scribblings. Assignments are to be handed in using A3 sized artblock. Another RM5.00. I know I shouldn’t be complaining about all these but it’s just plain easy to see that how rapidly fast my allowance is depleting.

Lunch is another problem. RM5.00 for a meal. Never ask me to skip my lunch cause I’ll die of hunger. So basically lunch at college roughly costs me about RM200 per month. That’s like.. 2/3 of my allowance already! WTF! How about my daily expenses on Mcflurry Oreos and foosballs!? This is getting nowhere.. And last but not least, toll fees are pain in the ass. I spent RM4 everyday just on toll fee.

Crap, I don’t even know why I’m blogging about all these. It’s just that I feel so calculative all of a sudden. Every single cent that I spent over the past few days counts. Been keeping receipts and all to monitor on my expenses so that adjustments can be made to suit to my liking on how I wanna spend my cash next month. Been very cash-strapped nowadays so must [i]jimat-jimat[/i] a bit already.

I don’t wanna include spoilers here but then a valuable piece of advice to all movie fanatics out there; Save your RM9 for other shows. ALIEN VS. PREDATOR is a flop! That show lasted for merely 80 minutes only! Digi had the special screening of Alien vs. Predator last night for DiGi loyal customers and so I was just fortunate to get picked to be part of this so-called “private function”. Got a freebies pack which contains two sets of popcorn and drinks and, a cap! And not forgetting the booth girls who are very adorable as well!

Eugene and I were there at Sunway Pyramid by 5:30pm and browsed around before we decided to go Ming Tien Restaurant for dinner. BAK KUT TEH r0×0rs! Walked back to the shopping complex and begun on our hunt for new clothings. Bought a pair of t-shirt and 3 quart. pants at Billabong boutique store which were more than enough to leave me walking out of the shop with an empty wallet. Put the stuffs in the car and then went to A&W for root beer float. Yummylicious~

Thankfully I got the tickets for Cinema 1 and then again, thank goodness that we both managed to grab ourselves good seats from the middle row, considering that we were pretty far at the back of the queue. We actually started queuing up from A&W Restaurant and the line continues to lengthen. Bumped into an old friend of mine as well who happens to be sitting right at the back of me. Hahaha. I saw her at first but wasn’t sure if she’s my ex-classmate back in Sri KL. Then she called me. Wowee! Glad Yee Von still recognizes me. Hahaha ;) Had lotsa wonderful (both good and bad) memories during Std 6. Gah!

For the second time, ALIEN VS. PREDATOR IS A FLOP. *Beams*

Turning 18 tomorrow but no plans on celebrating. Not like I’ve anyone to celebrate with though. Everyone’s busy with college and some on vacations. The rest … They just need some solitude moments so I guess that I’ll probably just stay home and finish up on my Analytical Drawing assignment. Hahaha. What a way to celebrate one of the most important birthdays in life.

Pearly’s got herself a domain and lip-smacking hot layout as well! Point your browser to aurexia.net now! Also Mellissa and Yen Zhi!

1 hour and 30 minutes to go. *smiles*

August

Today was just like any other ordinary Mondays. Had life drawing as usual and started scribbling like there’s no tomorrow. Forgot to bring a sketchbook so I had to go buy a new one which sums up to a total of three sketchbooks that I currently have right now. Played around with the viewfinder that I drew last night to come up with a perfect scaled artwork. Basically it was a pretty darn boring day, and came back home with a sore butt after having to sit on the easel for merely 4 hours.

Had Penang Fried Kuey Teow for lunch and chilled out at the cafeteria. Rumor has it saying that the polices were coming over to issue summons to those who parked their cars along the stretch of road outside of the campus. Steve and I panicked and so we quickly rushed to our cars and drove to the Metro Parking in the campus. The street was damn freaking empty compared to other days! People didn’t want to park at the parking space provided cause it’s the same from parking outside. Not like we have any shades to protect our cars from the scorching hot sun..

But then again, both of us parked our cars in the parking space provided just to play safe. I’d rather pay RM3.50 than having to fork out RM80 for the fine instead. And not just today that the police will be ‘dropping by’, so I guess that it’s time to demand another RM50 from dad to get the monthly pass already. ARGH!

Came back home around 4:00pm but couldn’t rest cause [i]GirlGirl[/i] sprained her left foot earlier this afternoon. So I had no choice but to drive mom and [i]GirlGirl[/i] to the vet in SS14 to seek medical treatment. Dropped by at the fruit shop to get some fruits (Duh..) and then back home. Came online for a while before dozing off to bed.

As for yesterday, sister’s got dinner with her friends so mom and I tagged along brother down KL to settle credit card bills. We had a little bit of problem deciding on what to eat in the first place. We firstly suggested Saujana, but then brother insisted on having korean cuisine in Desa Sri Hartamas, before we finally settled down for snacks in Jalan Alor. Besides SS2’s renowned “[i]Wai Sik Gai[/i]” (Voracious Street) , boy never have I seen soooooo many food stalls in just a glimpse of the eyes. You can actually lose count in the total of stalls available right there in Jalan Alor.

Hella big variety of food, and once again, we ran into problems deciding on what to order… Cause everything just seems so, delicious! Sounds unbelievable but then below are the lists of food that we’ve ordered:

1. 1 plate of Sotong Kangkung
2. 15 sticks of Chicken Satay
3. 6 pieces of Chicken Wings
4. 1 plate of Grilled Oysters
5. 1 plate of Grilled Stingray

All for RM70. It’s a little tad expensive considering the food that we’ve ordered are actually APPETIZERS only. Muahaha! Yes, my family is voracious and we eat till we drop. It’s been such a long time since I last feasted on grilled stingrays. Lip-smacking good I must say. Guess what next!?? We left that place and then drove to the noodle stall which is located one street away and we had a bowl of beef ball noodles! Yup, that’s our actual main course and not forgetting, an additional bowl of 10 beef (meat) balls. A cup of iced sugar cane for refreshment and that’s about it. Too stuffed up to do anything else after that.

Do drop by at Sinful Indulgences if you just can’t get enough of food. I’ve my grilled stingray featured in that food-only blog. Thought you might wanna check it out and continue drooling for more!

It was a pretty fun outing last night. Brother showed me few of the many happening KL nightlife spots, namely Zouk at Jalan Ampang and Nouvo, Atmosphere, Espanda, Beach Club situated at Jalan Sultan Ismail. Daym, I would never drive down to KL all alone during the night cause I’ll get lost in no time. The roads are all different compared to years ago and now it’s way beyond recognition. Reached home at about 9:00pm and then lazed around.

And shittttttttttttttttttttttt, it’s 10pm already so I guess I’d better get going to finish up my assignments for Design Studies. Ciaos
