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.

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.


Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist

 

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....

spies / Tuesday, October 25, 2005

 

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.

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 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!

 

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! =)

. / 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.
