Ada kala lawak-lawak yang kita dengar tu tak la lawak sangat tapi kalo korang asyik memainkan adegan-adegan tersebut dlm imaginasi korang, ia akan jadi semakin lawak, gilababi punya lawak siap boleh jadi tahap dewa, sampai korang ketawa cam sial. The mind is a very powerful tool indeed. Aku jenis yg suka sangat lawak bodo dan memang pakar gelak sorang apabila orang lain tak rasa apa apa lucu pun. Kenapa la lawak sangat ni? Sebab imaginasi korang tak cukup power beb. Ok, satu contoh simple: Ah Bai jatuh longkang. Tak lawak kan? Tapi ko cuba fikir, bayangkan Ah Bai yang bodo tapir benar-benar terjatuh dalam longkang dari segi jenaka. Bayangkan reaksi Ah Bai dgn muka dia yg poyo. Bayangkan dia jerit mintak tolong. Bayangkan dia tgh sibuk usyah awek awek sampai buta tak nampak ada longkang kat depan. Bayangkan “ALAMAK MAK DATUK!” yg keluar dari mulut si Ah Bai. Bayangkan nama Ah Bai. Ah Bai? Chee mane? Korang kena la pakai wotak sikit, jgn asyik nak org explain je joke-joke. Otak tak pakai selalu akan jadi lembab wei. Nak gelak pun kena org ajar ke?

It really sucks. Just when I’m about to have my own share of some much deserved enjoyment in my plain old boring life, I’m down with an aggressive form of viral infection. A sudden bout of sore throat, first dry, then productive cough, runny nose, fever, myalgia (muscle aches all over), and malaise (general feeling of discomfort), all classical symptoms indicating an influenzae attack, otherwise known as the flu, commonly mistaken as the common cold. As a result, I am left with no choice but to breathe through my mouth, which is very unhygenic, and to make matters worse, my pharyngotympanic tube is obstructed on both sides subjecting me to partial deafness. James on the other hand, was partially deaf from an entirely different reason, he managed to somehow rub his left ear, so much so that ear wax got lodged so deeply into his auditory tube that it made him incapable of hearing in one ear. Sounds absolutely absurd and bewildering? Think again. That little incident there adds further steel to the principle that I hold on to so dearly in life which is non other than ’shit happens’, simply because it does, whether you like it or not.

Anyways, as I was saying, yeah, I kinda fell sick on Friday, when I was over at Alson’s place to visit, to eat, to drink, to collect ang pau, and to play PS2. The sore throat came all of a sudden when the guys were playing Naruto on Alson’s PS2. Speaking of which, as one of the first group of people to be informed of the latest news, I proudly announce that Alson is now officially, a married man. Married to whom you might ask? Sadly, that is still a mystery. I just know that they got hitched in Hawaii, a beach wedding he told me. For further details, please ask the man himself. Heh.

Right after Alson’s, we drove to Angel’s place. James was already there, he left earlier when the guys were playing Need For Speed. I must say Angel’s house is pretty neat, it has this nice, cozy, homely, warm feeling about it. I especially like the mini fountain at the extra area by the side of the house. And I also like the spacious floor in the living room, seems like a decent place to just sit down on the marble floor on a hot day under the fan, sipping icy cold drinks, eating scrumptious fruit salad with fruit salad mayo and chilling out with friends. And by that, I don’t mean to imply that it is a suitable place to gay around, which I find very disturbing, totally and utterly revolting.

At about 7.30 pm, we made a move, and went for a gathering at Steven’s Corner. They should really reward us for frequenting them so often. Among those present were Wei Jian, Kok Hong, Chin Fei, Ching Fui, Ching Koon, Tua, Wai Hong, James and the Twins. Starving because I didn’t eat both breakfast and lunch, the normally okay-only-tasting cheese naan tasted like the forbidden fruits of heaven. I swear I felt so high that for a moment I forgot I was sick. It was most definitely an out-of-this-world experience. Melissa, you’re really really jealous, aren’t you? =P

We left Steven’s and headed for Wei Jian’s place at about 10 something. At that time, I already felt feverish and my face was flushing red. While the guys were thinking whether or not to drop by at the cyber cafe for a few rounds of Dota, I left with Ching Fui and Ching Koon. Reached home, took a warm bath and before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

The next morning, I woke up feeling alot more worse than the night before, I could barely open my eyes because it hurt so badly around the eye orbits. I had this terrible headache and it felt as if my head was split open with a chainsaw, exposing the insides of my skull. The excrutiating pain was unbearable and all I wanted to do was to close my eyes and to go back to bed, wishing that I had not woken up in the first place. I gulped down 5 mouthfulls of water because my throat was dry and I buried my head under my blanket. Half and hour later, I found myself stumbling all over the place around my room trying to wake myself up as it was already almost noon. I had to go to Mid Valley to get something for someone special.

After washing up and all that, I drank a glass of Neslo (It’s bad, I know..) to freshen up and off I went to Mid Valley. Suprisingly, the roads wasn’t as congested as I would have expected it to be, eventhough it was on a weekend, and for the best part, the car park was half empty. =) Walked around for a couple of hours, went in and out of shops, but still couldn’t make up my fickle mind on which one to buy. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Initially, I was looking for a backpack, but nothing particularly interesting caught my eye. And then I saw it right in front of me, it was jet black, with grey linings (looked more like silver to me) around it and it had this sort of shiny leather surface which exudes of class and elegance, seemingly the perfect choice, just the one I was looking out for. It literally had ‘Just Do It’ (Just Buy It) written all over it. At the same time, Russell Peters words echoed in my head, "Do the right thing…", so I did, I did the right thing by buying it. The price tag was definitely justified by its breath-taking jaw-dropping mind-blowing awesome good looks. I just hope that that someone special likes it, because she deserves it. =)

To all my friends, that includes you Richard, Bumi-boy, Happy Chinese New Year once again before all the 15 days of Chinese New Year comes to an end. Cheers, here’s a toast to a fantastic year ahead!

Sometimes, when you look back at remnants of the past, you realise that life is not quite as you would have expected it to be, you get the feeling that you could have done so much more to improve on certain things which are the way they are now, you wish to be a better person in every aspect and to achieve new goals and broaden your horizons paving way for changes significant enough that it would at least be of some contribution to the good of society, but somehow at the same time, you know deep down within you that it is not possible. No one can manipulate time and change the past, you might have been able to do something differently but what is done is done. Well, that is probably true for everyone else, unless of course if you’re that Japanese dude from the Heroes series, you know, the guy with superhuman time-manipulating abilities, what’s his name again? Oh Hiro Nakamura, right. =P

Anyway, what I was trying to say is that I am not what I expected to be 5 years ago. I wanted to be far more mature of a person than I am now, I wanted to see the world from a different point of view, as well as to experience new things in life and to reach out to new heights which I have yet to achieve. Most of all, I wanted to be able to look back at the past and say to myself, "I’ve made it. I have done all the things that I have aspired to do 5 years ago right, with absolutely no regrets or what-so-ever." Being able to do so would really mean a great deal of personal satisfaction, it is equivalent to winning a battle with myself. But of course, ideally speaking, that is not very feasible, it would never take place.

For all we know, the journey down the road never comes to a complete stop until we meet a dead end, and by that I mean when we encounter death itself, the ‘light’ at the end of the tunnel as some might refer to it. The choices we dread making are like the many fork roads that we would have to stumble upon one time or another in our life-long journey down this particular road. Choosing between Route A or Route B or Route C seems all so easy, as if it was a simple child’s play but why is it that we humans find it so difficult to make these decisions in life? It is so mind-boggling and far too perplexing for the human mind to register, I mean come on, it’s just like an MCQ question, but why is it so complex in its own way? We all dream of living in fairytales and lead ‘happily ever after’ endings in addition to not having to worry about any consequences of the choices that we make. If that was the case, the road of life would then just be one very long and straight line which is nice, all we have to do is to travel along the road to meet the light at the end of it, problem solved. I’m sure most of you would agree with me. But then again, there wouldn’t be any meaning to it, would it? =)

Okay, let’s zap ourselves back to reality, it is essential for us to learn from our mistakes in the past and to make sure or at least try not to repeat them in order to be able to become the person we expect to be, let’s say 5 years from now, in the not too distant future. And perhaps by then, we would be able to say to ourselves what we’ve always been wanting to say, "I’ve made it and I have done all the things that I have aspired to do 5 years ago right, with absolutely no regrets or what-so-ever."

I really am looking forward to that day. Wish me luck. =) To all my family and friends, Happy Chinese New Year. Enjoy.

Now that I’ve gotten your attention. Yes, it is that time of the year again. You know what I’m talking about, the one day where most of the guys would probably be flooding the chocolate stores, the florist shops, gift-shops displaying cute little fluffy teddy bears or anything of that sort, and for some even lingerie stores, it is non other than most girl’s favourite, Valentine’s day that is. =)

As a Valentine’s dedication to all the women out there, I’ll be sticking with that ‘Chicks Rule’ picture display on my profile (yeah, the one with the guy’s head falling off) for about a week. Oh, and by the way, sorry to all my gay friends out there (you know who you are, I need not mention any names haha), I couldn’t find a picture of a guy pushing another guy’s head until it falls off.

Alrighty then, first things first, to my very lovely and beautiful darling Elaine Tam, sorry for not being able to be there to celebrate this special occasion with you, I know we’re separated by land and sea, but fear not because I will always be in your heart. I’ll forever be there by your side one way or another, maybe not physically, but I’ll find a way. Anyways, just wanted to tell you, I love you and Happy Valentine’s day. I’ll save the rest for later when you come back to Malaysia. Study hard, persevere and be strong okay? =)

To all the other female beings out there, Happy Valentine’s day to y’all yo. Be nice to your boyfriends and thank them at the end of the day. Haha don’t make them work too hard. And the guys, please oh please treat your woman right, it’s a special day and love is in the air, make your other halves happy, treat them the way they should be treated. Listen to what Russell Peters has to say, be a man, do the right thing. =)

Ah yes, the single ones, do not despair, take this opportunity to approach your crushes and express your love, who knows right? It might just work out after all, little cupid will work it’s magic. Embrace this worldwide celebration and spread the love yo! =P

Just so you know, in Japan, many girls consider it an obligation to give out chocolates to their male friends or colleagues, it is called giri-choko, giri meaning obligation and choko, a common short version of the word chocoreto which means chocolate. This contrasts with honmei-choko, which is given to a person someone loves or has a strong relationship with. Don’t ask me though, I have no idea what honmei is, am too lazy to find out. So girls, where’s my giri-choko? =P

One month later, the guys would have to return the favour to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine’s day. This reciprocal day which is on the 13th of March is called the ‘White Day’, the girls should expect white chocolates or marsh mellows, but somehow things have changed, Japanese men have taken the name to an entire different meaning and lingerie has become a common gift. Heh.

I also found out that in Korea, there is an additional something which they term as the ‘Black Day’. It is on the 14th of April specifically for guys who did not receive anything for Valentine’s day, where a bunch of guys would usually hang out in a group to eat Chinese-style noodles in black sauce. Damn gay, I know. The noodles has a name, Jajangmyun, they call it.

I guess that’s enough facts to enlighten you for the day. Heh. Have a wonderful time everybody, enjoy yourselves, cherish your loved ones and make the world a better place. Once again, Happy Valentine’s Day and good luck with the ladies, guys. =)

Here I am, doing what I do best, stoning at 5.35am, unable to shut my eyes even for 5 minutes and get myself some much needed rest after over-dosing on Bleach, Grey’s Anatomy and Heroes. Damn, that sucks.

Missing my baby, how I wish she was here with me, right beside me, right this moment. It’ll be nice.

I’m thinking of changing my hairstyle, making way for a change that is somewhat more radical, perhaps something different that I’ve never tried before, something edgy but easy to maintain, and at the same time, messy but neat, you know what I mean? But the problem here is do I keep it long or cut it short? I dread making decisions like this. Argh. Wish I could just shave my entire head leaving only 0.5 cm of hair all over, unfortunately for me, I look too chinese to pull it off. Suggestions of what I should do are very much welcomed.

Strange things happen all the time. And speaking of strange happenings, a week ago, Hadri played this music cd using my car’s cd player when we were driving to the mamak. Trance, techno or whatever music they call it. Basically, at that very instant everyone in the car started to ‘Feng Tau’. I call it the ‘Ah-Beng Phenomenon’. And just 10 minutes ago, I was surfing through the archives of KinkyBlueFairy, and there was this youtube video, I clicked on it and when the music started playing, I found myself ‘Feng Tau-ing’ to it, which is odd, because I don’t ‘Feng Tau’. When I came to my senses I realised, "That’s it la, I’m doomed, I’m ah-beng-fied". Someone, help me! =(

By the way, here’s the link:

It’s called the Arnold Rave. =P

Oh and here’s another one, it’s a music video:

I think I’ll probably go shopping after this, still haven’t made up my mind on where to go. Thinking of going to 1U, but going there alone is kinda sad, besides 1U is huge and walking alone is uberly boring especially when you can’t make a decision on which pair of jeans look better. Mid Valley is an option, it’s near, it has almost all of my favourite shops, but still it feels so awkward walking into the shops simply because I visit them frequently so much so that the staff themselves recognise me. Sweat. Speaking of being given weird and the occasional "Oh my God, it’s him again!" looks. I so dread making decisions like this.

Anyways, I’m off now. Heading upstairs to resume my Grey’s Anatomy marathon, just finished downloading episode 13 of season 3. Ciaoz people and good morning. =)

And here’s another something to add some cheer to your day:
