my take.. / Thursday, November 10, 2005
if u used to call ur old flame
something else other than his or her name, would you still continue to call him
or her that now? understanding that a piece of the past will have
tendencies to stick, like that irritating ring of fat around your waistline that
just wont go away. but is it still appropriate now to address someone
from ur past by wat u used to call them? the name that you are so fond of, and
usually more affectionate than nicnames given to normal friends. according to
professor norman, the oh-very-professional term for this is "lerplerp names". my daily one hour train rides are far
from boring lately. a recent train ride i took from one end of the country to
the other, inspired this entry. and in lieu of the festive season, eye candy
madness u know. thank you my lucky stars! guys in baju kurung
really look damn gorgeous dont they. less the fact that they are much much
younger than me, but takper lah, i love boyish charms. its easy to pick
out the couples. they try their very best to sport matching outfits. and im dead
sure they try their very best. it jus feels too faux pas for me though.
even when mama asked if we would want to go boria this year, i condemn
the idea followed by my sister's agreeing echos. digression. anyway, lerplerp
names..... i was on a mission for the weird and
the funny. a reason to giggle myself silly. somehow, i cringe when i hear
couples calling each other baby. macam gross. i overheard one of the couples
calling each other bonda dan kanda. a beefy blonded guy called his whiny
karat-haired girl shooooshoooo... the girl calls him... dooodoooo... and get
this, kuat-kuat! like they have the whole world to tell. i kid you not.
another girl was calling his gangster-fied tatood bfriend kochang. wateva that
might mean. or maybe i overheard her wrongly. maybe wat she really said was
oi kacang! a friend said that he wont call his
ex gfriend by the "lerplerp name" he gave her. i asked him what but he wont
tell. ceh! my guess is its "baby". hehehe! anyway he said he finds
it inappropriate partly coz he feels that its undeserving for her to be
addressed by him affectionately like in the past. since, he said, there
are no more feelings between him and her anymore. they are jus normal platonic
friends. and she should be treated like a normal friend. point taken. personally, i feel that if you still
have tendencies to want to address exes by the affectionate name like you used
to, clearly, you have not gotten over the change even though you might be very
fond of calling him or her that once upon a time. u dont continue calling a
piece of paper, paper still, if it had been crushed up rite. u call
it rubbish. same concept applies. accept that things change.

dip it low.. / Sunday, October 30, 2005
he came over to my place after buka
after work
for a totally uncalled for movie date. i agreed even though i had no idea what
we were gonna watch but since he said he was maybe gonna pay for it, i
didnt ask much. so he came and hanged around in my room for awhile whilst i got
ready, then left only to the despair of my maid coz she was actually boiling
some water to make for him some tea. heh. ok. after saying so much irrelevant and
disclaiming so many uninteresting facts about what i did, wic im sure u guys
dont give a rat's ass about, this is what i actually wanna share with you people
haagen daz chocolate fondue. and
thats the portion for one. a lot tau... he paid for the movie tix as he had
promised. and then we realised we had 45 minutes to kill before the show. the
spark of spontaneity somehow got us that night i guess. we saw people dipping
relentlessly into huge cups of irresistible chocos. indisputably enticed, we sat
our butts down to have some. and i had to pay for it. a case of tipah tertipu
coz i tot the night would be on him. monetarily, we were even
lah. shish.
anyway, max brenner, you are so last
season. i gotta give it to haagen daz for having the nuts. and its not jus
fruits that u get to dip. u get 3 balls of 4 flavours of ice cream, chocolate,
strawberry, coffee and my favourite macadamia. we were pleasantly surprised at
the portion presented to us. coz having getting used to max brenner's measly
fondue ensemble, we expected something along those puny amounts. oh tapi
tidak! (puts hand on forehead) sadly i couldnt take too much of the sinful
concoction so i busied myself getting trigger happy. check out haagen daz's most
satisfied customer for the day.
anyone who saw us eat
would haf shaken their head in disapproval. this couple in cahoots confirm
cannot dine at fancy restaurants. messy segala! and he literally slurped
the chocos up like mee kuah panas. i took a lick and thats it. the cocoa
got me. i was swearing my fate half
the time. we watched zorro by the
way. thoroughly enjoyable. and now im inspired to learn to ride a horse. like
really ride a real horse. not some kedi-fied horsey at the
zoo. then when im really good at it, i wanna be the first person to go to europe
from singapore on horseback.... heh.

many people. but now its... toot-toot toodoot

pick me up when november comes / Sunday, October 30, 2005
The boy continued to listen to his
heart as they crossed the dessert. He came to understand its dodges and tricks,
and to accept it as it was. He lost his fear, and forgot about his need to go
back to the oasis, because, one afternoon, his heart told him that it was happy.
Even though I complain sometimes, it
said, it's because I'm the heart of a person, and people's hearts are that way. People are afraid to pursue their
most important dreams, because they feel that they don't
deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve
them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved
ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been
good but weren't, or of treasure that might have been
found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly. to my frens going tru the roughest
patch, So, surely with every hardship
comes relief, Surely, with hardship comes relief Suraah Inshirah embrace that mantra....

abah asked me, dila si _________
punyer boyfriend byk jerawat eh? dulu i saw her with another guy. yang itu
lagi handsome. heheee.. i knew lah who they were talking about. my
parents were telling me that they met one of my friends by chance with a guy.
and of course they just assumed that was her boyfriend when hes not. shes still
with the handsome one. mama was saying, abah straightaway
put on his shades coz he din want her to recognize him.... then, abah said, oh mama lagi
terror! she wore her helmet and put down the visor! and they were at blk
merah ramadhan bazzar. so if anyone happen to be there
yesterday, and saw a makcik with a helmet on her head, visor down, and another
member beside her wearing shades looking like her bodyguard, going around buying
kuih-muih and air katirah, thats my mom and my dad.

trivia number 1 / Saturday, October 22, 2005
in the hot wax he dipped his hand..
no wince on his face, he still could
stand. . cast his love for me he did,
my fren my heartfelt gratitude i would like
to extend
ok laaaaa... i am a hopeless rhymer.
i remembered writing a pantun about awan in sec 2 malay class jus a
few years back awan... berkepul-kepulan seperti bunga binatang dan cendawan itulah awan.... something like that. but im not here
to write about my poetry writing deficiencies lah. i jus want to know
what i can do with the hand. so........... trivia number 1: what can i do
with the hand? as an indispensable book end?
a hook for all my harta karun....?
a spectacle holder i bet... no?
a nose picker/head scratcher/ear
digger maybe??
contrary to what he gave
me, i gave him an initialed handkerchief and a hp pouch with his name
embroidered on it. so boring rite! a handkerchief is still a handkerchief no
matter how u use it. and a pouch will forever be a pouch u see. oi woman! so
boring lah you!

the tale of hurricane helen / Tuesday, October 18, 2005
a group of many people have warned me
about her.... hmmm... lets call her hurricane helen. for the goodness sake of
posterity. i could have decided to call her something along the lines of a five
letter b word wic is not even close to bimbo. but bless this bulan
ramadhan. i do not want to sin more than i should. so...... by my definition, the
group includes jus some of her numerous exes, a few girlfriends and a number of
her acquaintances. they have told me about her infamous social prowess, her
knack for breaking up, breaking up other people that is, her wild social
life of being surrounded by guys and guys only, her flair for sexy clothes
screaming "guys! i am walking! look at me!", yadayadayada u know, i know.
i thought it wise not to trust their incredulous tales, coming from her bitter
exes, her jealous girlfriends and her general acquaintances who are bitter and
jealous and... well, probably dont even know what they are talking about. so i
stuck it out for her. i told her exes not to be bitter, her girlfriends that
they are jus being unreasonably jealous, and the others that they probably dont
know what they are actually talking about. i spoke in her defence, that
helen, is in actual fact, a really nice person. but holy kemama! guess what...
hurricane helen had decided to hit close to home. i feel gutt sick now. like
theres a million other hurricanes in the core of my stomach going round
and round and round and round. i feel so sick for defending her wic i now find
terribly undeserving. helen wont go out with your boy lah.
why should she rite? but more importantly, y should he?!
tekkkkkk.. wrong! are u sure helen went out with another guy when she was
still with you? maybe u jus paranoid lah. tekkkkkkkkkkkk.. wrong! helen
is a really nice person. tekkkkkkkkkkkkk.. sungguh wrong segala!! actually i feel sick-er for being
proven wrong the wrong way lah. thats the main point i wanna put across
actually. ok.. so maybe some parts are jus me being in denial coz i refuse to
believe what they told me. but the point is, i want to think nicely of
her. and to be proven wrong when you are trying to do something nice saddens me
to the core. let me repeat... to the corrrrrrrrrre! so ever since she had
decided to hit too close to home, i have since believed that the tales of
hurricane helen are verily true after all. certified and chopped! u poor poor
thing... i know i am not suppose to have such
sentiments especially now during the blessed fasting month. but still. as they
say bitches die hard. whoops i jus said the b word. haha. have a
good week yah guys!

soft / Tuesday, October 11, 2005
you know how i look up to you. like
how i secretly know that you can do anything i can, but better... youre like my
superheroman. i dont tell you of course else your ego might rocket sky high
kan. ceyyydeyyy.. but to see you crumble in pain pained me too lah.
maybe times of pain are in fact blessings in disguise. they serve as occasional
reality checks. that we are in fact, human afterall no matter how strong or
determined we are for a perfect cover-up. i almost cried when i was going to get
for you your meds. coz i realised that my superhero-man is jus afterall, a hu-man.
so u can say today is my lembik day.
lembik like tahu. i watched goal and i cried. goal OK. its a macho soccer story
for goodness sake. then santiago scored and i almost cried too. ooooooooooooh
santi santi santi. then when i went back, i saw the palestinian quake on the
news. and i cried again. kan kan kan... lembik macam tahu seyyy....

tis the season when siti meets devi / Monday, October 10, 2005
i finally got something to wear for
raya. a gold kebaya ganghra. whut?? ok ok. its a ganghra. but i got it
really fitting. thus it now looks like a kebaya but with ties at the side. nice
lah coz got details and it looks like a corset. and unlike how u typically pair
the top with a long flarish skirt, the bottom was somewhat fitting at my hips
too but still flarish nearer to the ankles, like a kain ikan duyong. so
there you go, kebaya ganghra. and uncannily, how befitting too dun u agree,
since we are celebrating depa raya this season. i like it. trendsetting the
times, i will. all i need now would be a little something looking like this...
i got the whole suit at less than
half the price since amazingly, i managed to squeeze my really lumpy body into
the largest size for kids. if i had asked for a size one notch higher, it would
have cost me 80 more dols. one of the perks of being my size (and my
height). u wear clothes with a smaller price tag - if ur lucky enough.
next on the list would be that kurung siti zubaidah. whut?? uhhh... i
shall explain another day. anyway some kind of an excuse for a
lion/vampire decided to ps: next time wanna gigit kasi signal
sikit.. jgn suddenly ngap ok. thank you. pps: good luck with your job hunting.
and lu rawk my world baybeh lu raaaawk! =)
happily happily angrily angrily bite me
on my left arm. and left me with a nasty souvenir as a symbol of his
unconditional love amidst all the fury. but id rather think of it as my battle
scar. fight! fight! fight!

. / Thursday, October 6, 2005
with respect to my previous post,
yaya!!! i wanna see u do the se7en. and
norman u too. they asked for 7 but theres
too many people i wanna kepo-kepo around with. heh. yeah i play bangsat. on another note, i have jus exposed my inner most soul
to someone who.... i am not too sure can take it. fuckledoodledooo. i cannot afford a break now even
though i think i have been mugging like a mad cow. but somehow i feel i have
lost the propensity to retain information. i could do it when i was 16. hence
the last minute muggings that i always pull. and succeed. but its getting
tougher to mug at the last minute nowadays when i forget what i haf read after a
few sentences. and it takes away too much of the time to re-read. but i do
anyways. so what i could have finished in an hour or less when i was 16, i can
only pull it in double time now. nothing to be proud of. and i have
fifteen dols left to my name for the whole month. wic means, i cannot afford
anything. but i need a break! bummer sia... so hows everyone doing?

a majlis we will go / Wednesday, October 5, 2005
as you can see, we have yet to master
the art of proper photo taking. and these... are really vair
minor. you shd see the rest. ok or maybe
not.
a whole lump of people, with a whole
lotta good majlis fooood.. and more guys behind the cam.
the plan was to have a gathering for
food before puasa. coz thats when the mugging and the starving starts. and then
all of us wont even have time for each other. anyways the whole lump of us took
up the entire back space of majlis so it felt somewhat like a private party. we
got wanky, hot and raunchy after huge doses of shisha smoke. im not lying i
swear. ive got pictures to prove. but putting them up would be too detrimental.
im jus doing mankind a great big favour u see.
