Sunday

Woots, I am loving driving! =DDD

A few days back, my mum told me a new Jusco has been built in Mahkota Cheras. A couple of days back, she told me again. Yesterday, I asked mum, "Where's the new Jusco?" (a preamble to my main motive *evil smile*) 

Next question, "Why not we go there? I feel like driving la." *pleading*

Yeah well, there were some slight objections like, "Very dangerous la.", "Later kena caught by police then really susah you know."

But guess what? Mum said we would drive today. (That conversation I had with her took place yesterday)

So, *wide grin* at around 3 something to 4pm, we left for Jusco Mahkota Cheras. And I drove alllllll the way there! =))) And yeah, I even went up to 80km/h. That is when mum said, "Don't drive so fast. Drive up to 60km/h enough already." *nods* =)

Feedbacks from mum :

Parking : Not bad =)))

Driving : Not bad, considered very good already =DDD

"You're even braver than me." =P

"Good la, now you're free!" *happy!*

I drove home too. And when I reached Taman Midah area, it started to rain. Gosh, it was my first time driving under the rain man! Man, it was not easy at all. Well, my vision was definitely limited. But thank God, I managed to make it back home though. =) Thank God.

______

Omg, I actually saw CDs of metal rock bands at a shop in Jusco Mahkota Cheras. There's even albums of Bullet For My Valentine and so many more man! It's the first time ever I see metal rock bands' CDs. =D Oops, not Arctic Monkeys though. =PPP

______

And I drank coffee today. Not that it was a big deal or what. But it's been quite some time since I last drank coffee at home. I don't usually do that. Well, I used to during my SPM days. Maybe that was why my mum thought it was weird I drank coffee today when I asked her whether she wants coffee too.

Me : Mi, you want coffee? Just now I drank half packet only. (3-in-1 instant coffee sachet) 

Mum : How come you drink coffee wan? You usually also don't drink wan what.

Me : Tired mai drink la.

Mum : Tired then go and sleep la.

Me : You slept on my bed, how am I gonna sleep?

Mum : You should've told me what.

Me : *the main reason I drank coffee is because I wanna drive later on*

Heck, I was feeling sleep you know. But I didn't wanna sleep cause I wanna driveee!!! =DDD

Alright alright, I seriously have an obsession with driving now. Oops, did I mention I was driving with neither a P nor a L? =DDD

I'm satisfied.

I'm happy.

I'm thankful.

I'm safeee! =D

Driving. Jusco. Rain.

Oh-kay, umm, should I be surprised that taking drugs has the least percentage? I thought it should be the highest! And in contrast, staying out late at night occupies the highest percentage. Oh, right.

No tags. LMAO. =)

never ever ignore any legend that has connection with mushrooms

2nd May 2010

Sunday

I had only 5 hours of sleep last night - I mean, early this morning - due to that mushroom movie, 'Shrooms'. It was described as some kinda horror cum thriller movie in the papers and feeling like it's been so long since I've watched such movies on tv, so, why not right?

But don't blame me for not warning you that this ia a MUSHROOM movie. (mushroom movie? LMAO!)

Alright, I'll give you the synopsis here.

(if not for the mushroom buds that silhouetted against the moonlit night, it would pass for a movie like Alice in Wonderland. Seriously!)

Having been promised the 'trip' of a lifetime by their Irish friend and mushroom expert Jake (Jack Huston), a group of American teenagers arrives in Ireland, keen for adventure. Despite Jake's warnings about the "shrooms they shouldn't eat," things start to go horribly wrong when one of the five American tourists, Tara (Lindsey Haun) munches a "Death's Head" fungus and immediately suffers convulsions and dark visions. While confined to a tent that night as the others listen to Jake's ghost story around the campfire, the horrific details of this barely-overheard yarn from the man who brought her out of convulsions becomes Tara's new reality. The next day, as the group is bloodily whittled down to one, it is eventually becomes clear that, whether or not Tara's apparitions are real, the carnage they leave behind certainly is. Since everyone is now high on "shroom tea," it's anyone's guess who will last the longest. Will the jock Bluto (Rob Hoffman) succumb to the talking cow, or the succubus in the muddy car? Will long-haired Molly (Alice Greczyn) perish at the hands of the Texas chainsaw-type guys, or the dog-boy? Will bitchy Lisa (Maya Hazen) be snared above or below the reedy lake water? Will martial-arts wannabe Troy (Max Kasch) get gashed in the forest clearing, or abandoned orphanage hallway? Will Jake die from his jump through an upper window, or due to an axe in his brain? Even after a helicopter locates the sextet's lone survivor, and a land ambulance takes her toward the hospital, the slaughter will continue.

Seriously, I didn't realluy quite get the story, not if I didn't read the synopsis. Well, for one thing, I wasn't paying full attention to the movie. A huge thanks to MSN! =P And secondly, there was this guy, Jake I think, (if not for the synopsis, I wouldn't even know the guys' names. I just remembered Tara, Holly and Lisa. The synopsis states 'Molly' but in the movie, I heard it was 'Holly'. whatever =P) has an accent not quite like American accent. American accent is way easier to comprehend. I mean, at least you can hear clearly for American accents. (can't remember what's the word for 'easy to hear'. forgive me, my vocab is rusting man! Really.) British accents are a lil difficult though. But that guy's accent sounded like, what, Spannish? Really,  I couldn't catch what he was saying you know.

Great, my English is undergoing a downfall now. =P

______

Oh, and good news! Gossip Girl season 3 is back! Starting 31st May on 8tv, every monday at 10.30pm. I'm a Gossip Girl fan alright? =D But then, Mondays are Criminal Minds. Aww man, do you know what that means? Criminal Minds season, uhh, dunno what, is coming to an end. Darn! And also One Tree Hill! Aww man, I miss watching One Tree Hill!!! <333

______

Oops, I was so sure that there was no man-jumping-outta-window scene in the movie last night. And that dummy was soooo sure there was such a scene cause he said he thinks he watch the movie before. And when I read the synopsis just now (the one above), there was such a scene. =PPP

My bad. Haha!

Horror. Thriller. Msn.

you are how you sleep

1st May 2010

Saturday

I came across this article on Yahoo. See which position are you. =)

[graphic via BBC.com]

Fetus position - A whopping 41% of participants sleep in this curled-up manner. Women are twice as likely to rest like this and it is listed as the most common position. These sleepers are said to have a tough exterior but are still sensitive and may appear to be shy but warm up quickly.

Log position - If you sleep on your side with both arms down, you are a social, easy-going person who is trusting, sometimes to the point of being gullible. The study showed 15% of people sleep like a log.

Yearner position - A close third is the side-lying position with both arms out in front of the body, with 13% of partipants sleeping like this. Yearners are noted to be open-minded and still cynical, suspicious, and stubborn about sticking to decisions once they are made.

Soldier position - These sleepers lie on their backs with arms down and kept close to the body. This 8% study is said to be reserved, quiet, without fuss, and hold themselves and others to a high standard. Soldier sleepers have a higher likelihood for snoring due to the flat-back position, which may not cause them to wake up often but may result in a less restful night's sleep.

Freefall position - Those people who lie on their bellies with arms under or wrapped around a pillow with head turned to the side, make up 7% of the population studied. Freefallers are brash, outgoing, and are very uncomfortable with criticism.

Starfish position - Sleepers who lie on their backs with arms up near their head or the pillow account for 5% of participants. These people are good listeners, helpful, and are uncomfortable being the center of attention. People who sleep in starfish position are more likely to snore and to suffer from a poor night's sleep more often.

Hmm, I dunno for sure which position am I either, because, I think my sleeping pposition changes every night. LMAO! Haha.

Sleep. Article. Yahoo.

under another impulse attack

1st May 2010

Saturday

I wonder how am I gonna survive if last minute plannings are omitted outta my life. Like, seriously? Life would be so much more bland and uninteresting as it is now. Well, at least for me, it is pretty much interesting now. And heck, I couldn't be happier to live with it. =D

Talking about last minute plannings, it's just like, planning for a badminton session just an hour earlier and getting people who can come for the badminton, and also, booking a court half an hour earlier knowing that there wouldn't be any courts left but still give it a try anyhow. Having only 2 people who have cars to use at the moment, 4 people that needed to be fetched, summing up with Friday night's traffic, it was not an easy job I tell you.

Finally admitting to ourselves that we couldn't make it for badminton, other alternatives came up. Crazy they may sound, but at least it was better off than having no suggestions at all. Ain't it?

Coming up with ideas that sound like this; going to MBO for a movie, pasar malam outside Leisure Mall or having a yumcha session while chit-chatting. Whichever the suggestion was, it was definitely better than saying we might as well go home then. No?

So here is how the whole night went.

Supposedly we were to have badminton on Saturday, that is today. However, outta a sudden, Liew told me that birdie asked him whether we would wanna have badminton yesterday night. And it was already almost 6pm by then. I asked birdie and the next thing I knew, we were planning for a badminton at 7pm. LMAO. Tell me just how can that be possible in just an hour's time? Or so we thought it was possible. =D

Birdie had 5 yeses from Moong, Sue, Ting Sen, Jie Lun and Teh Chen. I had a yes from Liew and a no from En Hau. Okay, that sounds totally incomparable with that birdie's responses. Haha.

And the plan was on. How crazy we were! But as expected, we would not make it for badminton at 7pm because by the time we finished our so-called planning, it was 6.45pm already. So as said, we would have badminton from 8pm-10pm. It got worse when birdie said he hasn't called in to book the court yet. How nice birdie! =P (i totally don't blame you for it okay? seriously!) So when he called in and there was no more courts for 8pm, it was my turn to call in to Challenger. Alright, no luck. No court. That was just, you know, like something hard just slammed you in the face. LMAO.

Finally, we decided that we might as well book for 7pm, even though we would be a half hour late. But we weren't just a half hour late. We were an hour late! A huge thanks to Malaysia's traffic. *sarcastic smile* So on our- me and birdie- way to Pudu Plaza, I asked, "Why not we cancel badminton and go for movie?" That expression birdie gave me! Haha. Because obviously, we wouldn't make it for badminton already. It was way too late and even if we reach at 8pm, we would waste an hour's money. So why not we just go for a movie? =PPP (i know i'm insane) I called Liew and he told me he hasn't even fetched any of them yet. Haha. I told him the so-called change of plans and told him to ask the others about it when he has fetched them later on.

Gee, how rush. Quoted by Liew, is really very rush, but the process is fun. LMAO. =D

Alright, birdie still gotta go to Pudu Plaza and fetch Jie Lun and Teh Chen and by the time we reached Galaxy Ampang, it was 8pm already. Gosh, we felt so so sooo bad for all the mess man. =S Because apparently, they can't get tickets for Iron Man 2 as the queue was like, 5 lorries' length (according to Liew). zzz!!! But the queue was really long though. But definitely not the length of 5 lorries la!!! Grrr! So ended up, no badminton, no movie. *can't-help-it smile*

FINALLY, we said to go yumcha will do. I'm soooo sorry and birdie was too! =( So, omitting the details, birdie fetched Teh Chen and Jie Lun back home before heading off to Kaki Corner where they had to wait for us again. Urgh! We felt so damn sorry for that! =(((

And you know, it was already 10pm when we reached Kaki Corner. =P

It was the strangest outlook ever; all of us wearing sports attire. Birdie with his Looney Tunes tee which he kept complaning that he wanted to change his shirt. =P Ting sen with his SMK Cochrane Perkasa sports shirt and me with my SMK Cochrane sports tee as well. I guess we never looked stranger than last night for an outing. =PPP If only we took a picture of us last night.

Mismatched!!!

What can I say? Last minute plannings could just sweep your feet off the ground man! =D

That's why I don't think I could ever survive without such plannings. =)

Badminton. Movie. Kaki Corner.

impulse vs eccentricity

28th April 2010

Wednesday

Before I start blabbering about what happened yesterday evening, I think I need to clarify some things. Firstly, I soooo do not believe in superstitions. So, screw superstitions. I only believe in God.<3 Secondly, how can you ever compare my current lifestyle with my SPM lifestyle. That is undoubtedly very unfair to me okay? And besides, it's not that I'm going for clubbing or doing something illegal or what. I'm just having fun like what a teenager my age would do. Is that even wrong to you? And what is so that wrong with having a sleepover at a friend's house? It's not that we will do something unrighteous or what. Damn, you guys seriously gotta have some trust in me. It just hurts when you have doubts in me. =S And thirdly, don't think that college's lifestyle is the same as in high school. It's just not the same okay? True it is, I have not experienced any college life yet but from what I could see from my friends' college life, they're not a teeny bit the same as in high school. But whatever it is, I just dunno how to make sense to you. You'll just have to figure that out yourself sooner or later. And lastly, apologies for any hard feelings I caused here.

Peace. =)

(do I sound like you'll wanna say 'LMAO' now? =DDD)

Alright, enough for all that grunts. Now, the fun part! =DDD

Seriously,  advanced plannings would never work out for us. Well, at least for myself and my cranky buddies. =D Thanks so much to us, the last minute planners, we all settled for a movie just an hour before the movie starts. That didn't sound crazy enough for you I know. Just stay with me, and I'm sure you'll find us extremely outta our minds. =PPP

It wasn't really a last minute plan actually but, hmm, I think it can be considered as one though. Haha. Sue already asked Birdie to train her driving on the road on Monday night's badminton. And after driving, they might as well go for a movie also. I chatted with Birdie before he went off to Sue's house and I was told that he would go to her house at 3pm. But at 3.30pm or so, it started raining cats and dogs and what's more, there was thunder as well. So I thought their plan for movie after that would be cancelled. That was one thing.

Second thing was, I told that dummy about it. He just said that he could make it if he could use his Kelisa. The thing was, when he reached Cempaka (I suppose), he asked me whether I wanna go for movie. LMAO! That was so sudden okay? Because at first, I didn't think I could go anyway. Heck, Monday I went for badminton and now I'm off for movie again? You think my mum would allow that? Hell no! So that dummy phoned me and asked me whether I wanna go or not. And could he be dumm-ier than that? I asked him where was Birdie and got a 'dunno' as answer. Few more questions, and more 'dunno-es'. Gee, thanks, that helped a lot dummy! =PPP

And after I hung up to say that I would ask my mum first, I received a message from Birdie. Heck, I didn't realise he changed his name in my phone's contact list from 'Birdie Ming' to 'Wei Ming!!!' Grrr, did he even need to to add the 3 EXCLAMATION MARKS??? Birdie you! Haha.

My conversation with my mum.

Me : Mi, my friends invited me to go for a move oh. Can I go?

Mum : Can is can, but don't stay overnight again ah.

The rest were not as important as the first reply huh? Haha. Even I myself got a surprise when she said I could go. That is something man! Feeling oh-so-good, I replied to both of them my green light. =D

So here was the plan. En Hau fetch that dummy back to his home to get his Kelisa and then he'll come and fetch me. Something sounding not right here? Or, how would En Hau fetch that dummy home? Here was the thing, En Hau and that dummy were in the same train on their way back from college. Well apparently, En Hau was coming home from PWTC while that dummy was at Masjid Jamek. So coincidentally, that dummy boarded the same train in which En Hau was in. How nice! And I really laughed my ass off when that dummy told us how strange it was when he sent En Hau a message and heard a message alert immediately when he was in the train. The second time he sent, it happened again. I bet it would be funnier if one of them called the other. =DDD

So, having that explained, now, shall we continue? =)

So En Hau would fetch Ah Liew back home to get his Kelisa and then, umm, wait, now I'm kinda confused. Then what about En Hau's Myvi? Does that mean after fetching that dummy back home, they both drove to En hau's home and left the Myvi at En hau's home and only that dummy drove? Uhh, geez, I forgot to ask about that yesterday! Haha. Forgive me. =)

Anyway, that dummy said he was gonna fetch me from my home. Alright, I'm sooo cool with that. =D

On the other hand, Birdie who was with Sue for almost the whole afternoon, would go straight to Galaxy Ampang. Geez, I still couldn't understand why Galazy Ampang okay? I've never been there and when I asked En Hau and that dummy about it on our way there, I was told that it's just like UE3. In terms of emptiness alright? Heck, it was deserted! Way deserted than UE3!

Gee, we could even complicate ourseleves with the issue of dining at home or outside after movie. I just love my friends. =DDD

Alright, talking about the movie now. Sue bought the tickets before we even reached there yet. So, 'The Losers.' Uhh, that's the name for the movie alright? Haha.

So, the synopsis.

Basically, it's about a gang of highly skilled soldiers that was sent for a mission in which they were then kinda like, framed for and they were then left stranded in Bolivia. The mastermind behind all this was a man called Max. He tried to kill the 5 soldiers in that mission but what Max didn't know was, they survived and nobody knew about that. A lady came into picture later on, convincing them that she could help them get back into the States with the condition that they help her get Max. It's kinda complicated, I know. Because I didn't really understand the story at first. But after some revelations, things got clearer. Though some parts were really violent and aggressive and gruesome, the killings were very much surreal. Well, it's a 18++ movie, so expect some 18++ scenes though, if you get what I mean. =)

Uhh, I guess it's not a bad movie after all. Hey, I think it's even better than Kick-Ass! Really I do think so. Clay, Rogue, Cougar, Jenson, Pooch. Clay was the commander, Cougar was a really pro shooter. Uhh, you know, being very good at gun-shooting? Do you call that a shooter? Or gunner? Heck, I don't know! Haha. Anyway, I like Cougar. He's really really really damn effing cool man! He reminded me of Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean. You know, Orlando Bloom? Yup, that's him. Why I said so? Because Cougar always had that very cool poise and he's always wearing a hat like the one Will Turner wears in Pirates. Oh, and there's also a part where he said, "Never touch my hat." Geee! <333

Jenson was the computer pro. He deals with all the electronic gadgets all the time. There was a scene where he faked himself as a telekinetic-something-I-dunno-what-machine that acts like a Terminator. You know, can shoot people using his bare hands. Really LMAO man! That scene was hilarious!

And Pooch! Oh, he's funny! He drives all the time and well, he's the peacemaker. After Clay and Rogue fought, Pooch became the peacemaker and made them apologise to each other. Then he asked, "Does that make you all feel better now?"

Clay and Rogue, "No."

Pooch, "Who cares? I feel better now!"

=DDD

And also another part where he got shot in both knees. Somebody asked him whether he could stand. And Pooch replied, "Oh, is that a stupid question? I just got shot in both my legs!"

Later on, he was asked the same question, by Clay I think. =P

Pooch looked at the enquirer and said, "Oh, so today's a stupid qustion day?"

Man,  he's funnnyyyy! Haha. =DDD

And also, at last, he climbed into the hospital to visit his wife who was giving birth.

Wife : Where the hell have you been?

Pooch : Traffic.

Haha. He's really funny man. =D

Oops, forgotten about Rogue. He's the traitor! And quoting from Clay, "You'll die very badly."

From left, Cougar, Rogue, Clay, Aishah, Jenson, Pooch, Max.

<3

The movie was a blast. But the environment was the total opposite of that man. Geez, I was freezing madly throughout the whole movie. That's the first thing. Secondly, the seats were soooo uncomfortable. OMG. I really had a hard time finding the right position to sit comfortably. And then, the mango juice that dummy recommended was sooooo sweeeeet! Haha. Dummy betul la him! =PPP

No complains. The movie was awesome though. I like the characters. <3

______

Movie ended at around 8.30pm. And then, we left for dinner at Hoong Fook, if I'm not mistaken with the name. =D It was really my first time having such a meal with friends. You know, like, having white rice with dishses. Oh, and they even ordered 'gu lou yuk'! Haha! =DDD

It was really awesome. A wonderful night-out. =D

Supposedly, Ah Liew was to go home himself. As in, no need to fetch anyone, while Sue will drive En Hau back home and then Birdie would fetch me back. Well, Birdie's car was parked at Sue's home. Then for I-dunno-what-reason, Liew said he could fetch me home. Grrr, that birdie ming! Well, on;y he will understand what I mean! Birdie you! =PPP

And you know what? That dummy really let me drive his car on the road! I am being so serious right now. I'd never expect him to really let me drive on the road, especially at night. Get this right, I don't have a P licence and not even my L was with me man! (my L is with my car instructor) How could he have allowed me to drive??? OMG!

But, gee, I was thrilled!

He said that I could only go up to 40km/h. But when I was driving, this was what happened.

Me : Uhh, you said the most I could up to is...?

(glancing at the speedometer and feeling like lmao!)

Liew : 40 ah!!!

Haha! I realised I exceeded 40km/h already but I just can't stop laughing out loud! Hahaha. I really didn't know I went more than 40km/h until I looked at the speedometer you know. That scenario was hilarious! =PPP

Gee, you really can't blame me for it you know? I always drive up to 60km/h using the uncle's Kancil and, well, I just, very naturally I went up to 50km/h already. Just, almost 60km/h. Hahahaha!

He said, "Imagine you're sitting beside an inexperienced driver!"

Alright alright, my bad. =PPP

I told Birdie that Ah Liew let me drive his car, but he didn't believe me!!! And he said Ah Liew's crazy! Hahaha. Man, my driving was(is) perfectly safe la weh! Chill la. =DDD

______

Next movie : Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 / The Crazies / Date Night =DDD

 

______

Next driving using that dummy's Kelisa : 60km/h =DDD can I, can I, can I??? Haha!

______

PS. Andy Chong Wei Chong, say wanna kacau me this morning at 5.30am! I bet you slept like a log man! =PPP

Impulse. Movie. Driving.

26th April 2010

Monday

Apart from sleepover at Liew's house and aftermath from camp, this is my first time ever to experience such lethargy. I've never felt this tired before man.

Well, lemme tell you.

I came home yesterday at around 12.30pm or so. And guess what? That Birdie Ming said wanted to come into my house and he really drove into my condo's parking lot man. Really lmao. Haha. So I showed them my Myvi (sounds as if the car really belongs to me. haha).

And I even got a ride around the condo before they went off. =PPP

I didn't do anything except bugged that Birdie to lemme drive. =)

I'm so not that forceful okay? Haha. And En Hau would surely lemme driveee, right En Hau??? =DDD

And I was sooo hungry at that time (I even complaint in En Hau's Myvi on the way home) that I ate a piece of fried yam cake ('wu kok') and a cup of strawberry and blueberry yoghurt before heading off to shower. So it was 1 something when I went to bed.

By the time I woke up, it was so dark outside. I was wondering what time it was, what day it was, and how come I was asleep. I groped for my phone which I expect it to be laying on top of my tissue box, but it wasn't there. In fact, I found it lying next to my pillow on my bed. Unlocking it, there were 5 unread messages and 1 missed call. Ignore that for the time being. I focused on the time and it was 5.44am!!!

I repeat, 5.44am!

It was then only I remembered I fell asleep after my shower.

Alright, 1.15pm (I checked the time the last message I received) till 5.44am. Around 17 hours eh? I replied that dummy's message and thinking it was still so early and I would have to fight for the bathroom at that hour, I might better continue to sleep. And true it was, I fell asleep not long after that, waking up at 8am later on. So, recalculating (sounding like En Hau's GPS =P), I think I slept for 19 hours. =PPP

1.15pm (Sunday) - 5.44am (Monday)

5.45am (Monday) - 8am (Monday)

19 hours

=)

I've no words for that. I just can't believe I actually slept for 19 hours straight. Haha!

Waking up was difficult. Because all I felt when I stood up was dizziness. And my whole body had no energy at all. I don't think I ever felt like that in a very long time already. What's worse, I felt so thirsty and I still do now. I dunno how much water I've drank since this morning. =P Oh, and you know what? I had chee cheong fun for breakfast again. Aww man.

Haha. =D

I broke my own record.

19 hours. 5 more hours and it would be 24 hours. Haha! Quote from that dummy, I'm insane!

=DDD

Sleep. Tired. 19.
