Ze 3-series!
I think Tat trusts me more on the road now... just yesterday he gave me green light to take the SL300 for a short spin round the neighbourhood (two cars in a week?? I feel the pressure). Yes Lyn I know you had the first dibs! Babe I wish I had your lanky limbs... I had to push the car seat all the way up and front sigh.

The two cars felt aight I suppose. Not much of a car person can't tell the difference between what pick up what performance wtvv

Got into a minor shouting match with Tat at a kopitiam during breakfast... saw the lady at the neighbouring table shift her arse and kopi-o further away from us once our voices got louder and louder.

It's really stupid. We got all pissy just because he ordered my char kuey teow without specifying for it to be just the flat noodles. I got a little annoyed as I'd told him MILLIONS of times that I hated mee/meehoon/anything but kueyteow... and he got annoyed that I got annoyed and I got annoyed that he got annoyed that I got annoyed etc.

It all went downhill from there. We're too comfortable with each other to feel awkward, but we were happy enough to fume in angry silence as we chomped our food down with unnecessary vigour. I broke my wooden chopsticks.

Today's lesson well learnt- thanks to both our quick tempers, we need to scrounge up more patience if we're planning on living together for the rest of our lives without killing each other... that and don't shove flimsy wooden chopsticks into hard food items (i.e. yao char guai) unless you want splinters in your mouth.

It's almost 7 in the morning and I'm still awake. Had Cyn text me at 3am with some yuck news... and I couldn't doze back after. Once I'm up, I'm UP.

Best part is that I have a class at 9 later, and I'm still contemplating whether to zzz for the next hour or to stay awake till then.

7am thoughts. Gorgor's awake for work. There's light. Sunlight...

                                                                                          

Ask me ONE question- no matter how personal, inappropriate or random, I will answer the question 100% truthfully (I might not if the question's out of line though).

I tag:
Suet
Aud
Tze
and whoever else who's up to it! Drop me a line if you do 'cause I'm full of questions/nosy :)

Things have been pretty mundane lately, so Tat and I decided to head out for our own special dinner date. I somehow managed to google up Bora Asmara, using keywords such as "great ambience"/"CHEAP and reasonable price". Haha.

Besides having a hard-to-remember name, Bora Asmara is DARLING. The route there may seem a little dodgy and dark, but it's really worth it when you reach the tastefully decorated Bali-themed restaurant. Or maybe I was just too relieved at the sight of lights...

Birthday Itinerary (In 24-hour clock format)

18 00 19 15
Thank you Malaysian timing (read: BAD punctuality). Told Tat earlier that we were just having a romantic candlelit dinner for two tonight... and he was being grumps and couldn't stop bugging me to leave for the restaurant now now now. When Eugin and Kailash finally popped in, they blindfolded Tat and took him for a spin in the car while the rest assembled at Tat's house.


The birthday kidnap video!
19 45
Brought him back home for the SURPRISE!!! Thank you high school friends for showing up, it really made his day :)


20 00
Cake smash in face


Check out the manic glint in my eyes. I was motioning Kailash to smash the cake in NOW!!!


Smashed
After 20 00
Hosed Li Tat down for his third (?) birthday torture, chilled in the kitchen with mates and drinks, converted Kai's car into a karaoke box, went for a joyride in Eugin's 5-series with DERLYN behind the wheel...




Monsters

Headed down to PJ for yumcha and Counter Strike at a CC with the boys and Jess (God, I haven't done this in ages... and I remember why now- the game just reminds me how bad my hand-eye coordination is).

03 30
ZZZZ. To tell the truth I was already tired before midnight. Old.

Jasmine's Australian friend Lucinda is down for a visit, so we brought her to town for a look-see! First stop- Petaling Street.

This isn't the first time Lucinda's been in Malaysia. She was here when she was about yay tall- and apparently paid much more than she should for a fake watch. Just because she's a tourist?

So I was the middleman for today. Bargained 'em goods and got 'em cheaper, thanks to my put-on crass Canton voice.

Jm: How much for the watch? (Lucinda slinks away discreetly)
Dude: RM75
Jm: What?! 75?? The other shop gave me 50
Dude: OH that's because I haven't given you the discount! I'll give you 50 also
Jm: Hmmn. I don't like the strap's cutting...
Dude: I can change the strap for you, no problem!
Jm: How about... I take the watch for 45 and you don't have to change the strap?
Dude: Umnn... okay okay 45!

Score!!! But I have a feeling I could've bargained it cheaper... Sorry Luce :(

Funny moment- Jasmine wanted Lucinda's attention so she called her name out, "Lucyyyy!"- and the guys at the neighbouring stall mimicked her, "Lucyyyy! Come and see the watches Lucyyyy!"

HAHAHAHA

                                                                                          

Life span: 4 days
Any tips on making them flowers last longer?

I don't really like modern dancing in general (whenever I go to clubs I'll be shifting from one foot to the other uncomfortably... like a guy), but I've always had a soft spot for ballet.

I used to do ballet when I was younger, but quitted upon my mother's suggestion. Besides her thinking that I had far too many activities going on (art classes, piano lessons etc.); my ballet academy had shifted away from near my home, and it would be a chore for her to send me. I pretty much welcomed the stop- more time for evening cycles to the park/more time for Jasmine to come over and play. But there were points where I wished I stayed on...

I still remember the five positions, I still remember doing pliés at the barre, I can still do decent splits, I can still do an arabesque (on flat of course), I sometimes do little (discreet) assemblés when I stand around for too long, I skip around and leap up pretending I'm doing jetés, I love pirouetting to see the colours whirl by... Even so, I know that ballet consists of many more factors of which I have no inkling of.

But one of my biggest dream is to dance en pointe. If I start now... I might be able to do so one day. Might. I mean I'm already 20...


Swan Lake- watch at 1:50 for Uliana Lopatkina. She's amazing
On a side note, I realise that I commit to many things... far too many to actually accomplish any of them.

Should I :(

Had the dogs bark at me nonstop when I reached Tat's place today... was kind of heartbroken. Didn't they recognise me anymore? Brush-brush? Bone-bone? Ear scratchies? Nose tickly? No? :(

But after Tat soothed them (more like smacked them into submission), they sniffed around me cautiously before leaping onto me in recognition, yay! Maybe it was 'cause I played with Foo's dog just before... I must've carried the previous dog's smell.

Felt so loved when Smuffy gave me a big sloppy kiss on the face (ugh dog goo) and also when Leo gently took my arm in his mouth for playtime :')


Their favourite toy- torn up bits of cloth for a game of tug-'o-war!

Woke up with a wonky right eye... and I didn't even use mascara the night before! I think my contacts got dirty.. Either that or I'll have to scout for more items I'm allergic to (like being allergic to dust is not enough, God).


Karaoke today! Rachel was in the washroom I think...
Tze, Aud, Suet I miss our karaoke days :(

Aud would be my M2M partner (Ohhhh my pretty pretty boy IIIII love you), Tze would be singing Jay Chow like a pro while the rest stumble through the Chinese words, and Suet would be... umn... soothing me in the washroom whenever I get too emotional over a song (remember One Sweet Day?). I'm such a sap.

Yeah I really miss you guys :(

What makes me happy:-

1. Free food
2. Free food
3. Unexpectedly having my boyfriend tell me this while cuddling in bed- "If you go to Australia next year, I'll see you there in June"

                                                                                          

Jasmine got me this pretty pink die/sticky notepad. I love post-its!



Thank you babe :)
It's also handy on making quick decisions! Here's me deciding where to go next year:-


1,2- Stay here for the time being
3,4- Australia
5,6- UK

Ack.

It's official. I'm a car killer. Just managed to smash the left tyre into a sharp curb... and this isn't the first time I'd done so.

RM150- new tyre
RM 25- alignment
RM 90- something cable thing which had to be fixed

Issokay, really. Sigh :(

Wanted to keep it hush-hush but what the heck... might as well warn you guys to never let me behind your wheels. EVEN IF YOU'RE DRUNK! 'Cause if I'm sober I'll still drive like I'm tipsy.

Parents are home from Guangzhou! Now I can lay off the much abused washer/dryer. Yeah laundry's still a big issue for me.

They got me a buncha stuff (including a pair of ballet flats which are a size too big for me...) but my favourite is this furry white coat!

On an unrelated note Li Tat sprained his left ankle. I guess we're now officially known as the klutzy couple what with his frequent unexpected injuries plus my daily tripping and falling/bumping into hard objects. Sad to say but ruises and cuts are a norm to us...

Story was, Li Tat was driving the golf buggy when he stuck his left foot out... and ended up sandwiching his foot between the side of the buggy and the stone curb. EVERYONE knows not to stick any limbs out while in a moving vehicle. Duh.

I mean... poor baby.

Tat: My injuries aren't a norm ok. I'm just unlucky
Jam: Yeah I agree, both your toe and ankle are really unlucky...
Tat: Ya sigh
Jam: ...to belong to you!!!
Tat: :(

I officially have a love-hate relationship with Blogger. I love how Blogger's publishing platform is around my level of www knowledge- HTML and FTP. But I hate how it's so unreliable...

Nowadays, whenever I attempt to publish posts, I get this message:-

Your publishing is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for it to finish, click here.

So I click here, and I receive the SAME message. So I click here again- the same thing ensues. It's like going round and round and round and... you get the picture.

It's mentally exhausting and enough to deter me from blogging. If this goes on, it's time for a change... maybe Wordpress.org. But I'm a noob in the PHP area... If you can help, please do :(

Kai and I were unintentionally very in sync with each other's expressions that night
I was supposed to be some Greek dunnowhatthingamajig with gold leaves on my head and a white flowy dress, but I chucked the headpiece after it scratched my forehead. It ended up sitting on Kailash's head for the rest of the night while I nicked his devil's horns instead.

The modest Mount Waverly suburban house we were this close to getting...
...Until the mother decided she wanted SYDNEY instead of Melbourne. I now know whom I inherited my indecisiveness from. Thanks, ma!

Before the whole I-want-Sydney-hooha, the 'rents were already sorting through the paperwork as they got the bid for the house. And I was already trying to envision myself living in that house, in that country.

I couldn't.

So I have to admit- this delay is very much welcomed. No really, thanks ma.

P.s. Parents off to China tomorrow :(

                                                                                          

She placed the delicate morsel of meat onto the tip of her tongue and rolled it around her mouth, savouring its taste. While munching, her eyes focused on the ongoing activity around her. As much as the food delighted her, she too couldn't take her eyes and ears off the rise and fall of the restaurant's bustle.

As she stared at the cast iron teapot while the waiter tipped tea, as she rubbed on the intricately carved leaf-shaped chopstick holder, as she rhythmically tapped the table leg with her right foot, as she clinked her teeth against the white porcelain of the tea cup- everything else was pushed out of her mind as a thought blossomed in her mind and dominated her thinking space.

It was a GOOD THOUGHT. In capital letters, because needless to say, it was a very, very, very good thought.

She was determined to pen that GOOD THOUGHT down. Once she reached home, she went up the stairs two steps each stride to her room. After grabbing a blunt pencil and blank sheet of paper, she started jotting down that GOOD THOUGHT. Signing off the last sentence with great flourish, her eyes skimmed the paper, reading through her scribbles.

She reached the last phrase- 'after all'. And realised that it was just a passage with no meaning, without delving deeper into the GOOD THOUGHT. Just strung up words. Just six nonsensical paragraphs.

Maybe she wasn't ready to share that GOOD THOUGHT. Maybe she wasn't ready to share her real feelings with the world after all.
