Dreams and meetings

July 1st, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

   
   
Dreams. Dreams are astonishing things. Some are totally mind blowing fiction, but some felt so real that it gets scary overtime.

   I dreamnt of you again. It has been happening for the last 17 days. I thought that I could stop thinking about you after i shut my eyes. It has proven me wrong 17 times over. The dreams ranged from bizarre wonders which involved flying humans to real life situation where I was the interviewee and you were the interviewer. Bottom line -  I can’t stop thinking about you. Maybe I need to go a mantra or some hindu/buddhist discipline to force my mind to go from gear 5 all the way to gear 1. I guess I shall google about that soon.

   Well, it has been confirmed that I’ll be leaving next monday. I’ve been singing to "im leaving on a jet plane….i dont know when i ll be back again" ever since. ‘So soon’ would be a fitting word for the whole situation. Since Friday, I’ve been out meeting people for a final round before I go.

- Friday : Dinner at Siam Kitchen with Linda and Niza.

- Saturday : Coffee presentation with Elife ppl, Wedding dinner with family, late nite supper at swenssons with eleh, anoi, han and nana.

- sunday : Shopping and karaoke wit Oyah and Ann

- Monday : repair laptop for my auntie and then super late nite supper with Bart at swenssons. Bumbed into Shidah as well.

- Tuesday : Shopping for Zayed’s picnic date.

    I still have 5 days before I go. Wednesday has been booked by Zayed. Friday is booked for a movie outing. Saturday would be an overnite/movie marathon. Sunday I want to stay at home and just clean up my room and pack my stuffs. That left me with Thursday as well as maybe a few hours of Sunday for more meetings. I wish I can see more people before I go. I might be leaving for a few months.


*  taken from a scene at Mustaffa Centre *

   I accidentally bumped into a rack of fishermen’s friend which made the support on the left side of the rack to come off, making the rack tumble. I was quick enough to hold on to the rack so it wont fall off completely. My right hand was holding on to the support which came off and the cashier took it away saying its ok, they will fix it.

Zayed : (laughing) ok….i ll hold the rack and u pick up things tat dropped.

Cashier : tat would be $33.40 sir.

Zayed : ahhhh….i cant reach for my wallet coz im still holding on to the rack. Wheres the support tat u took?

   Seeing that the cashier didnt know wat Zayed was talking about, i went over and just took the damn thing and plugged it in.

Zayed : (rummaging throught the plastic bags) huh….wats this bulging thing???

Cashier : tats a ball

Zayed : huh?

Me : (confidently) Its the juice tat we bought lah, she packed it in the 1st bag i think.

Zayed : No! look….its a ball!

Me : (went over to inspect and saw a ball) WAT!!!! (shouting) Whose ball is tat???? I didnt buy a ball! whose ball is tat!!! i dont want a ball!!! y got ball!!!! How come theres a ball at the drinks section???

    As I finished my sentence of pure confusion, he went laughing out loud, really really loud. He paid for the stuffs, including the stupid ball.

Me : Y did u pay???

Zayed : Normally, we would fight for it. But seeing your puzzled/stunned face and your persistent questions about y is there a ball, its too hilarious. So i decided to just pay.

Me : …………………………………

   Anyone wants the ball??? Its a size 3 mini sized Adidas soccer ball which we paid for 17 bucks. Damn it!!!!

* Actually…..its you who i REALLY WANT TO MEET *

What a birthday party!!!!!!

June 22nd, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

June is probably the month filled with birthday parties. It seems that everyone is born in this month. But as for me personally, 21st June is rather special. 21st June is a day where Salleh was born 26 years ago.

The organised crime


With my r
eservist starting tomorrow
and me leaving on the 1st, it would probably mean a last outing for geng jahat until i dont know when we can possibly all go out again. Eleh’s party was preplanned 2 weeks before. I could still remember asking Lin about surprising him and Lin is a really good crime partner. 2 weeks ago Eleh asked -Eleh : Eh bro, my birthday we all go bbq ok?

Me : 21st, i cant ah bro. I think im going to fly off.

Eleh : (sounding rather sad) Oh, its ok then.

I felt really bad for saying that. Really bad. But all in all, it paid out. Lin, who also celebrated on the same week, on the 17th, didnt know tat a surprise was installed for her as well. It was a double bluff, making plans with eleh and also to surprise Lin. The idea of making plans wit Lin, was to know the latest happenings abt how eleh felt and all. We were building up an entire disappointing mood for eleh coz we really want him to know tat we all couldn’t make it for his birthday.

The structure

Even Zayed’s comeback to singapore was arranged for the party. The story or bluff that we came out to tell eleh is -

- I can’t make it coz im flying off on the 20th.- Zayed can’t make it coz he is still in Indonesia

- Bart went back kampong

- Syam also went back kampong

- Nana had to work to cover her colleague

- Anoi had to rest for tomorrow’s IPPT As for the final impact, I msged both lin and eleh on friday saying -Me to lin : Lin, im so sorry. I have to fly off today. So nana would be taking over the planning. Dont worry, everything else is planned. Have fun.

Me to eleh : yo bro, im flying off tonite at 7. So, happy birthday in advanced k. Take care man. I ll see u when i see u.

The messages were too simple, it sounded very mean. It was to create the last round of disappointment. I would of course, called them up to give this kind of news. So at 7.30 pm, all of us were seated in Badoque at simpang bedok. We chose the blackforrest cake for eleh and mango cake for lin. When Lin smsed Nana that they would be arriving in 10 mins, we all went out hiding. Bart, syam, anoi and nana went upstairs to hide. Zayed and me were hiding back in the toilet. So for whole 10 mins, i was locked in the toilet with Zayed. The word to describe it would be - nightmarish. It was the exact precise moment that I said out a silent prayer and wished tat it would be some nice sweet pretty girl instead of him. After a short while, eleh and lin arrived. We took a peak from the toilet and could see Eleh was surprised with the 1st surprise. So zayed and me, went to the counter, took the cakes and slowly sneaked out to the table. It was fantastically planned coz eleh and lin were facing the other way and me and zayed came both from behind.    Zayed hooked left and I went right, both saying -

Me and zayed : ahhhh…..anyone ordered cakes?????

It was then, tat both eleh and linsmiled the biggest smile i ve ever seen. Eleh began tearing. It was such a happy moment. And boyyy, were they surprised!!!! The plan was a success.

Food

The food at badoque was fantastic. I had lamb shacks, a dish with this BIG piece of lamb thigh and pasta around it. It was so good, i felt like licking the whole plate after I finished devouring everything. So lin was saying how sad eleh was when none of us could make it. Eleh had even taken a room in Sentosa, which means, we are all going to crash in after dinner!Eleh : (at the hotel with Lin earlier) haizz….i wish all my friends were here.

Hahhaha, it was really somean of us to be making him feel tat way. Oh well, its all for a good cause. Bart was putting in so much chili in his seafood dish tat he said was too spicy. He even got the cheek to ask ppl to finish it. How great! If he can’t eat it, who the heck could. Good ah, put more chillies. Took like so many pictures, probably hundreds, as all of us know, its going to be our last. Sobbs sobbs. After dinner, we all went shopping. Shopping would probably be incorrect because it would normally involved clothes and stuffs. We actually went to the shop and save beside badoque to get our snacks and drinks. Hell, its going to be a loooooooooooong nite.


Sentosa

The hotel room that they got was a deluxe room. I personally find that the room to be very scandalous and kinky. Why? Because u cant lock the toilet door, u can climb the bed and look inside the toilet, there’s another door to the toilet and its the backframe of the closet, which is actually a door, theres a straw curtain inside the toilet tat if u were to drape it up, you can actually see the bed. It was a room maybe designed for honey mooning couples. The bed wasnt’t as big as the ones in KL previously. In KL, 7 of us squeezed into one bed. Yesterday, there were 8 of us and it didnt stop us from squeezing. Lin brought Congkak dvd and finally I can watch it. There were some reviews abt how scary the movie is, so i had to see it for myself. With regards to tat, yesterday was the 2nd time in 2 days I watched malay horor movie. Friday, there was a steamboat at E life and we all watched a stupid movie - Anak with Erra Fazira as the leading actress. So congkak was on with me, zayed, eleh, syam and lin on the bed, Anoi and nana on the couch and bart decided to be on the floor. It turned out to be another unscary movie. Its simple really, they had many ridiculous scenes topped with comments from bart, me, eleh and syam. Because of all the elements, it turned out to be a comedy. I was seriously laughing my ass off with all the comments from us. There was this ridiculous scene where the effects from street fighter/dragon ball was involved. The bomoh was doing wat Ryu did. There was even a makcik inside with moustache. Hahahha, wat oni!!!!!!!!!!

After the unscary scary movie, it was cam whoring time. We dished out all the grape juice that we bought. The room, surprisingly had 4 wine glasses, 2 champagne glasses and 2 normal liquor glasses. It was perfect for all of us! Bart finally smiled taking pictures. We all commented that he looked good smiling and he vowed tat he would be continue smiling when taking pictures. Wat oni!

At 3 am, most were already asleep. Only lin and me were still awake. Eleh and anoi were half asleep and we were all watching soccer. It was quite hard for me to listen to the commentaries on tv as the bass of snores from bart and anoi were bouncing from the ceiling to the floor. Holland was disappointingly trashed 3-1. I was expecting Holland to win the competition since they beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1. Yesterday, they were indeed outplayed.

Departure

We all checked out from Sentosa at about 1pm. As all of us were feeling rather hungry and we decided to visit Seah Im at harbour front to feed ourselves. I was rather keen on trying on a mee rebus tat my friend was telling me about. She said the gravy is really good. It has been a while since I went dining at a place like tat. Everthing is so cheap. Mee rebus was at 2.50, soya bean was at 80 cents. I wish the place would never be renovated coz more and more places like tat are slowly disappearing in singapore. At 2.15 pm, we all parted ways.

From my personal note, I cherish the moments where geng jahat is together, be it holidays, bbq, birthday party. I realised one thing - those who were there, they are actually the most important ppl in my life, apart from my family of course. Without them, it will be just a normal crazy world. With them, its super extreme crazy world. Eleh’s continuous tears when we surprised him was actually a benchmark for our friendship. Known him for 10 years. 10 long years. Eleh bro, you and lin deserve all the joy in the world. I’ll see u man when i see you man. Anoi and nana, August got another project rite? Zayed, looking forward to bring the house down. Bart, we got a lots of upcoming projects. Syam, looking forward to working with u, again.

Happy birthday Lin and Eleh

Hell has no fury like 3 women scorned

    It was madness!!!! Madness i tell you!!! Madness!!! Well, it all started when Inspector Smith proposed the idea of a movie outing.

   It was supposed to be a simple, straightforward group outing with Erli and Yana. Movies to watch, EITHER Sex and the city OR Prince Caspian. After much discussion, this was the problem -

- Erli thought Prince Caspian is a sucky movie to watch coz the 1st installmet sucked (which I totally agree) and she had bad reviews from friends. She does want to watch Sex and the city.

- Yana thought Sex and the city is a total waste of movie to watch and she would rather watch it online. She does want to watch Prince Caspian for its effect and coz Caspian is hot looking.

- Inspector Smith wanted to catch both movies.

- I dont care what movie. I just want to watch a movie.

   Its like an IQ test to sort out. Everyone wants something and doesnt want something. Wa lau….so next is the solution.

   So came to the point where we set up a virtual courtroom over msn.

- Chief Justice : Me

- Topic : Sex and the City and Prince Caspian

- Prosecutors : Yana and Erli

  So we went on discussing why Erli and Yana have their differences in watching the movies. After the cat fight, we somehow came to the agreement tat it might be better to watch another movie instead. So erli and yana didnt mind Kung Fu Panda instead of the 2 initial movies although Yana still wants to watch Caspian. I told Inspector Smith about the whole situation and this is wat she replied -

Inspector Smith : I say we watch sex and the city  with Erli and                 then Caspian with Liyana.

   That solved one part of the problem and created another. Coz wat is Erli going to do if the 3 of us watch Caspian? Then Erli said she will watch Kungfu Panda alone while waiting for us to finish. Then, the hero for the day came out strongly and said -

Me : Ah, y don’t they watch Caspian together since they want to watch it and we watch Kunfu Panda instead. So it will all work out. All fair and circle. 1st watch sex and the city, then they watch Caspian while we watch kungfu panda.

   

I totally fell in love with myself after the great plan. Hehehe. So now, just waiting for all to reply to the confirmation. God!!!! Girls are so complicated!!!!

Yay….Euro starts!!!!!!!

June 7th, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

    Was out with Eleh and Lyn the nite before. Had dinner at the over rated RIA ayam penyet. It’s expensive for a plate of ayam penyet over there. For the same amount of money, I could maybe eat and extra plate of rice. But on the other hand, I did have an extra plate of rice, coz I was famished.

Me : Eleh, im going to get you dream catcher for ur birthday.

Eleh : Wah. Dont ah!

Lyn : Wat movie again?

Eleh : Dream catcher

Lyn : ah?

Eleh : Dream catcher

Lyn : ah?

Eleh : Dream catcher

Lyn : Ah?

Then Eleh burst into crying tears as the exchange went on.

Eleh : Eh khai, you tell her.

Me : In the name of God, most gracious and most merciful….Dream Catcher!

Lyn : ah?

Me and Eleh : ……………..

   

   We were just window shopping throughtout orchard after dinner, with the usual dares eleh and me exchanged during the course of retail therapy. There was this shop tat sells particularly extreme gay stuffs and we went in.

- A low cut blue cardigan

- a low cut blue v neck t shirt

- an all blue slip on shoes

And the perfect thing, is these are all men’s wear. We were daring each other to go to the fitting room and try it on. But for the life of us, we didnt dare. Lyn was also looking through things when she saw this nice looking ladies trenchcoat. It looks really elegant if any ladies should wear it.

    Suddenly, Eleh came to a realisation that he needed to buy a tie. So we went tie shopping then. We came to top-shop and with great luck, the cashier is Eleh’s friend, tat means high chance of having further discount. So we finally got the tie, and since Eleh was trying to recall trying to tie a tie, I showed him a live demostration in the middle of the shop with a step by step show of how to do it. I didnt really know if anyone was watching coz I didnt really care.

    Got back and immediately surf throught the channels of the tv in the living room. I went from channel 1 - 99 and there wasnt any Indonesian Channel. I was like “noooooooooooooo, it cant be!!!!! “. I looked for the old antenna and couldnt find it. I was beginning to feel really really sad. Well, the idea was to to watch Euro 08 over the Indonesian channel coz they cover it everytime, since my family dont own SCV. Went asking my sisters of the whereabouts of the antenna even and they dont know where it is. So desperate times call for desperate measures. I went inside my parents room and pulled the half broken tv antenna from their tv. Went outside, plugged it in and tried tweaking the tv. After much attempt, I attained nirvana when I saw one of the clearest displays of the Indonesian Channel. I wanted to jump up and down, but it was 11 pm and it might coz some disturbance to whoever’s living downstairs. Suck on tat Micah from heroes!!!!!!!

    So both me and my sis, sat infront of the tv for the next 4 and a half hours watching soccer back to back. Swiss VS Czech and Portugal VS Turkey. We were in it to support our countrymen. I even went to McDonalds at half time coz both of us were feeling dead hungry. As Nani, the portugese Man Utd player went in for a substitution, my sister asked -

Anisa : Abang, this Nani is Man Utd player?

Me : Yah. He’s good.

Anisa : Which country is he from?

Me : (looking at my sister with the utmost profound stare) wat sorta qnz is tat?

Then both of us broke into laughters. Well, my sister can be essentric sometimes. But we were filled wit joy when Portugal scored their 2nd goal and triumph over Turkey 2-0. Nice work guys!!!!!!!!

Men are naturally handyman

June 3rd, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

    So finally the showcase and the fridge came after much shufflings of furnitures and watnots around to create space of the ‘newbies’ to join the old family of furnitures.

    Yesterday, something really funny happened. My mum was cleaning up the kitchen as the old fridge was moved to the other side of the kitchen to make space for the new one which came today. She asked me to carry a block of glass which she found it too heavy to carry. I dragged the glass out and I immediately shoutedWoah” and slammed back the glass block to the wall coz there was this big lizard tat came out behind the glass. Both my mum and my sister came in asking wat happened. Told them wat happened and my mum asked me to spray the damn thing with the insecticide.

Mum : How big is it?

Me : Its biggggggg!!!!

Mum : use the insecticide.

Me : Its useless, they are not receptive to it.

Mum : At least it would crawl away

Me : Ok.

   

   I wasn’t about to go pick tat thing coz its a daddy lizard, which looks like a gecko and plus its black!!! Disgusting….eeeewwww. By then, all the macho-ness in me suddenly vanished. Its really big!!! So i did spray the lizard with the insecticide for like 10 seconds. I stopped and suddenly it fell to the floor. Both my mum and my sister ran out of the kitchen to the living room screaming. My mum even jumped on the couch. Hilarious! So there I was stuck with trying to figure out how to exorcise this demon out.

   

   I figured it will crawl away after I come back from Bukit Panjang Plaza. I came back and went to the kitchen and the lizard was nowhere in sight. It was until about 1 am, when i came back from the toilet to go back to my room when I saw tat damn thing infront of my room and my door was opened. It’s like its haunting me or something. I went back to the kitchen, took a broom and stood ready to charge. If it went into my room, it would be worst coz I have to like ransack everything to find it. So, armed with only a broom which is like my hip high, I went charging and smacked the living hell out of the lizard. It stayed motionless after the hit and I couldnt tell if it was alive or not. Back in the paramedic days, it was always going up to the person and tap his/her shoulder and ask the standard question - “Hello hello, are you ok….can u hear me?”

   I went back to the kitchen and took the dustban, swept it up with tat disgust feeling all over me, went to the toilet, threw tat thing inside the toilet bowl and flushed it to heaven. So much for being 1.87m tall and built nearly twice as anyone. Its really big and its not joke!

    So when the fridge finally came, I asked the guys if they can help with the wirings too, since the plug head of the wire was needed to be opened to fix the wirings through the cabinet hole and then to the power outlet. The delivery man argued reasonably tat he didnt want to be accountable should any damages occur during the stunt. So i did it myself. It was quite an ordeal since I have to move the oven and the new fridge just to get the wiring through the cabinet and I finally achieved it.

Conclusion - being a Male in the house, you dont get questions like “Can u do it?”. Instead, you get statements like - “You have to do it”.

Saturday Nite Fever

June 1st, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

   Before I commence to say yet another wonderful tale which would probably knocked sex and the city and prince caspian out of the box office ladder, I would like to say this one thing -

* moral of the story - finish your sentence completely *

    It was yet another nite of party for Lynda’s 2nd birthday party with a different crowd altogether. The nite was filled with burst of laughters, exposive sarcasm, indefinate bloopers and many other indgredients that made it all the more bizarre. Culprit involved were -

- Han

- Kiat

- Bart

- Me

- Dada

- Lydia

- April

- Serene

- Colin

- Farid

   We finally settled at Amirah’s grill at 7 15 pm awaiting the arrival of Lynda and Miss Heng. We were showed to a personal room on the 2nd floor which I must say was very cosy. It’s like this private room with nice sofas and authentic middle east decor. Received a call from Miss Heng that they would be late coz Lynda didnt go to work in the morning and she’s taking MC. So they would be probably be arriving around 8 plus. Being hungry, we decided to order our food -

Me: Black pepper steak for me

Han: Make that two

Farid : (stuttering) I want ba-bla-bak…

Me and Han : (interjecting) Ah, Bah Kua?

Server : (smiling) Tat’s pork sir…

Everyone : (burst into big laughters)

   

    Our food finally came and the steak I had was so yummy! It was tender, savoury and juicy. I’d personally recommend it to all steak lovers out there. Lynda and Miss Heng finally arrived around 8. And we gave her all the presents for the nite. It’s a good year to be Lynda. 3 birthday bashes and uncountable amount of presents, wow! Can i be you, darling? Hehehe. I also got her to open up the addidas shades present that we bought for her and it looks really good on her.

The sexual interchanges

    We handed out the menu to both Lynda and Miss Heng for them to order their food. We were telling them about how good the SET meal is coz of their worth.

Lynda : You all had SETS ah? (sounded like sex to us)

Everyone : (burst into laughter)

Kiat : I wish ah, no girlfriend how to have sex?

Lynda : Nevermind, it will COME

Everyone : (burst into laughter)

Me : ……yah, it CAME suddenly.

Everyone : (burst into laughter)

Han : …..choose your main course ah….you all want MEAT ?

Everyone : (burst into laughter)

    I didnt know why, but we were suddenly experiencing unintentional sexual interchanging experience. For the life of me, everything else tat went after Lynda’s initial question was somehow related to thing sexual. What to do, you have 2 of the horniest people around which I dont want to mention their name. Han and Kiat.

   April was showing us the bags tat she bought. The bag was round shaped and sturdy. It was really pretty and unique. There was this cardboard design on the front of the bag. It’s reversible meaning theres different design on either side and theres 2 carboards. So April was really happy since having 4 designs, meaning 4 different bags. There is pocked where the cardboards are placed.

Me : April, then can put ur family pics inside then u can have more then 8 bags.

Kiat : Or some dining mats then can make the bag like a table top.

    Soon, Dada and Lydia showed up around 10.15 pm. Take note of the timing. 10.15 pm. So the rest of us went to either relieve ourselves or smoke break. We left the 2 girls to order their food. I joined the smoking break and had a chat with the smokers.

Farid : ….yah, got it real cheap. 100 bucks

Me : Wah! How u got tat cheap?

Farid : I have friends

Me : Oh? The rest of us doesnt?

   So again, moral of the story being completing your sentence and dont let it hang. We went up 20 mins later and was shocked to witness this -

Dada : ….hmmm….i think i ll go for mixed kebabs. You?

Lydia : I dont know eh.

Us : Wat! U girls still deciding on wat to eat? Wa lau!

   Yups, 20 mins later, and both of them still had not ordered anything. We were discussing about the next chalet when the food for the 2 girls came. Dada was saying -

Dada : You know we should get his cottage in changi. Its really nice and big.

Me : how much is the rate?

  It was at this point of time when Dada fixed me this unbelievable look like wat i just said sounded really out of this world - extraordinary - uncomprehensible - loony - mad - wacko - crazy. I immidiately did a 3 seconds reality check on what I just said. The rest were looking at the exchange. And still Dada fixed me tat look.

Farid : Dada! RATE RATE! R - A - T - E (spelling it out) !

me: yah….you know as in money…SGD…like u pay some money then get some change back or no change if u pay exact. U know???

After farid and me finished our preaching, the rest, including Dada, were already bursting out laughing. Dada was tearing when she said

Dada : I thought u said Reds as in liverpool

Me : Ok, let me rephrase. How much amount of money do you have to pay for the cottage per night.

Lol. We all went back to laughing. Oh my god! Dada and blooper is like siamese twin. But the only difference in this twin is tat Dada is the only one keep introducing her other half. We then discussed on wat to do after our dinner cum supper. I suggested this sheesha place where u can also play their board games, but I forgot wat the shop is called. Something like kaki 8. Dada suggested Mines Cafe since her friend owns the shop.

Han : Dada, call ur friend ah. Ask him wat time his shop open…..

The rest of us : (looked at Han and ready to strike)

Han : …..until

The time delay between the word “until” and the initial question was about 5 seconds. So again, moral of the story, complete ur sentence. Next is the bill. We were quite surprised we were charged about 20 dollars extra. I looked at the bill and they charged us for the private room. It was charged as 5 dollars/hr and we have been warming the sofas for 4 hours. Time for Kiat and Khai to settle the issue. The problem was cordially handled and Im so proud for the 2 of us. We argued tat no one told us of any charges and we were showed to the private room without any request. Eh bro, we can open up a soliciting firm lah! Yah, keep dreaming Khai. So 20 dollars were waived off. Yay!

   We went round and round and round to find this Kaki 8. I even saw Fail.

Fail : bla bla bla….wat u doing here?

Me : oh…birthday party ah. Fail, u know wheres Kaki 8?

Fail : U mean Kaki 5?

Me : Oh, short of 3 legs ah?

   Fail showed us the directions. We decided not to go in coz it was packed and i dont think they have space for any of us hooligans. It was such a hot nite and I was sweating profusely.

Farid : Eh Khai, so hot ah? Ur sweating man.

Me : Hot would be an understatement. Im about to combust!!!

   We eventually settled for Esplanade since its breezy to be by the sea. Being under renovation, the spot we picked wasnt the most scenic but its the breeze and company that counts so we had to make do with the spot. Bart and me went to 7-11 at Marina Sq to get some drinks. On our way back, we saw Oyah and Fuad at Starbucks. We crashed in to have a chit chat with them since we havnt seen them for a long while.  We were there for a solid 1 hr and when we got back to esplanade, they thought we ditched them. Hehe.

    Dada then told us of a story about a movie called “Taxidermia”. The content of the movie -

- weird sexual fetishes

- body mutilation

- sadow mesochism

- bestiality

- disgusting diet

  This is the 2nd time this week I ve heard of wierd stuffs on vids and movies. The content Dada was telling us is really disgusting and disturbing. Maybe i need to see this stupid movie just to feel disgusted. Tat sounds a bit redundant. So we chat and chat and soo come to the topic of shit. Yes, shit. Yes, you heard me, shit.

Dada : have you guys like look at your shit whenever u shit to see if its floats or sink?

Me : you think i ll be bothered to look ah?

Lynda : wat? y would we want to see?

Han : (laughing) I thought shit sinks

Dada : Oh, actually, if the shit sinks, its a bad shit. If it floats, its a good shit.

Me : huh?

Dada : As in the sinking shit would be unhealthy shit. Ur diet is no good. Floating shit means u have a good diet.

Lynda : Ok, so next time i shit, i sms you ok to check.

Me : Y dont we take video then MMS Dada. Then she can analyse our shit.

  Lol. I dont know how the topic of shit started, but sure as hell, it hasnt finished.

Lydia : you know….i was at a kelong one day. Then my friend shit. Then her shit obviously go to the sea. The we saw the fishes ate the shit.

Me : Did u eat the fish?

Lydia : i hope not.

Bart : wah, if u eat the shit, then the fish eat ur shit, then u eat the fish…

Me : then its a full cycle!

Han : then u shit to begin a new cycle.

Wakakakaka. Tat was one of the most hilarious discussion ever. Still on the subject of shit -

Lydia : I once bumbed into this website tat shows how people can actually shit in the toilet bowl doing pattern of it it.

Me : Wah, like doing Mr Softie ice cream? tat kind of pattern?

Han : Then ur shit needs to be really soft

Dada : Then u need to move about your butt also.

   Oh my god, it was a discussion for shit scholars, i swear! Its really amazing how u can talk and talk about this kind of stuffs. Our impeccable discussion soon grazed into the 4 am hour. We all decided to call it a day. But because of my whinings of having yet another McGriddles Breakfast, i again irritatingly influenced Han, Farid and Bart to join me for Breakfast. We saw the rest off before we went hunting for a 24 hr McDonalds near our places. We decided on KAP’s McDonalds. Drove all the way to Bukit Timah, went towards the entrance and there was this McD’s staff who said tat it was closed. The only thing opened is the drive through. We found it really weird for such an arrangement, but oh well, who are we to jugde rite. But I was just imagining how funny it would be to have the drive through order on foot. Just a thought really.

    So on to Bukit Gombak to settle for the McD there. We were soon devouring our breakfast like as if we hadn’t eaten for weeks. I finished my tea, so i went over the the condiment counter to refil. I picked up the tea pot, tilt it over my cup and nothing came out. I opened the cap and it was dry as drought. I looked at the staff, wanted to say theres no tea inside, but decided not to coz i really cant be bothered. We were talking about super heroes when we found out Farid watched Pokemon when he was a kid. We told him, during our time, it was He-Man, X-Men, Spiderman, all Man and never a Mon like Pokemon or Digimon or watever Mon there is rite now. We got out of tat place at 6.30 am. I was so happy i got to eat another McGriddles. Yay!

   After dropping Han and Farid, was the finale of the entire outing. I saw 2 person fell from watever theywere doing at 2 different places on my way home. There was this guy, who was riding a bicycle and suddenly he felll. There was this guy who was walking towards the traffic light and he slipped and fell. This is the 2nd time weird things happened tat i had to witness on my way home. 1stly, a cat got raped, then 2 grown man fell from their positions, I wonder wat’s next?

Always be my baby

May 30th, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

My current favourite song - By David Cook, winner of American Idol 2008

Always Be My Baby

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I’m letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m a part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby

I ain’t gonna cry no
And I won’t beg you to stay
If you’re determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you’ll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby

I know that you’ll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you’ll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it’s only a matter of time

You’ll always be apart of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my my baby….

You’ll always be apart of me (you will always be)
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on (we will linger on….)
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
Always be my baby

* you’ll always be my baby *

Happy birthday darling Lynda

May 29th, 2008 by thelifeofkhai

   The day that I ve been anticipating all week is finally over. Its filled with tales of joy, fun and laughter. And do we have a party or wat!

    I started the eventful day with meeting Lina up for a quick catch up lunch. We had decided to dine in at Delifrance in Taka since we both havn’t had any pasta for a while. Somehow the pasta there tasted even tastier then I remembered tasting. It’s as if Delifrance made a new recipe for their pastas. Watever it was, it really tasted good. So Lina now is doing accountancy in a company at Tanjong Pagar. Wow! Young, pretty and sure rich! No wonder she has many suitors. All the best for her future endeavours. ZPS should have like an alumni coz I dont remember most of the ex students.

    Was planning to meet Inspector Smith after lunch for either Prince Caspian, which I really really want to watch coz it looks darker and more epic compared to the last one which i found to be too kiddy-ish. The other movie was sex and the city. But had to cancel at the same moment coz she didnt feel like watching anymore. Wat oni! I want to watch Prince Caspian ah! Let’s watch ok? So went back home and managed to watch another stupidly funny episode of CatDog at 3.30 pm on kids central.   

    I had booked a cab for the evening. The dinner party was scheduled at 7.30 pm. Since the carpark is somehow going an upgrading phase and I have no acess to the car, coz its in west malaysia, the cab driver sms me tat he was parked in between Blk 242 and 243. Its the 1st time a cab driver ever smsed me and it felt kinda weird. Wat’s next? A cab driver sending their passengers MMS???  Reached Lido at around 7.30 pm, quite on the dot, thanx to my absolute timing. Hehe.

    At rice table, Erli, Yana, Bart, Aisha and Nana were already seated. The plan was, when Miss Heng and Lynda arrived at Lido, we were to light up the cake and go outside to hide in some corner. So when both Lynda and Miss Heng were seated, we would sneak inside and surprise her. Sounds like a sound plan. So around 8, the watertight plan sprang into action. We lighted up the cake, and went outside to hide. Erli, Nana and me were hiding behind this podium and less then 2 mins later, we saw Miss Heng and Lynda going up to escalator. It was really amusing and amazing since the 3 of us, which is not the smallest of humans (esp me), tried to squeeze and hide behind a podium counter. So when Lynda was seated, we slowly sneaked in. It brought out the commandos in all of us. I was quite impressed to see how nimble the girls were, since only bart and me were the only ones coming from Mars. And Lynda was finally given her surprise! And the sing song - made a wish - blow candles - cut the cake followed after tat.

    Buffet in Rice table was really really filling. If anyone else said tat, it would be questionable. But if I said tat its filling, theres no doubt about it. There were -

- chicken rendang

- satay

- tahu telor

- small beancurds

- prawns

- sotongs

- chicken wings

- ikan bilis

- vege gravy

- soup

We were served no less then 20 dishes! 20 dishes for 14 ppl. Not bad huh. I was impressed by the server who served the rice with this giant plastic fork which i thought would be really cool for me to have and to eat my food with it. I think big goes with big. Its only fair! We ate and ate with the dishes going around the table like a mini food tasting seminar. I kept looking left and right for the dishes coz I was spoilt for choices and had a slight neck ache because of tat. It wasn’t long when all of us were filled up, like a filled up….pot (sorry for the lack of better analogy).

    We were deciding wat to do next after dinner.

- go watch movie

- go chill at McCafe

- go supper, then breakfast at McDonalds eating McGriddles and the half boiled egg at west coast. (crazy idea)

- go back

   I dont know why, we all went with the chill out plan. But instead of McCafe, coz theres no empty seats for the 14 of us, we went to Liat Towers Starbucks instead. How wonderful! 13/14 ex starbucks partners going to chill out at starbucks. I found tat a little ironic, but its the company tat counts, tat was my only salvation. We got our drinks, and sat around sharing stories and jokes. The funnies moment would be when Erli was trying to explain an IQ test involving 2 cups and a smaller cup which totally confused us. Bart and me, who were seated the furthest away from Erli, were the most confused. Coz we didnt really hear wat Erli was saying. So instead of trying to strain ourselves to hear her, we decided to taunt her. And the taunts were really really funny, what do u expect? Its bart!

    It was 11.30 when we were hit with the dilemma of going back or going karaokeing. Well, if you know us, going back is certainly not one tat exist in our vocab when we gather. So yes, its the sing sing singing session for like wat? 4th in the month? It was the 1st time for Miss Heng and Inpector Smith to join us. And it was really really hard to ask them to sing! It’s like asking a rooster to lay egg, or a cat to bark, or asking 50 cents to sing Celine Dion songs, or asking a newborn to run 2.4 km, or asking Muhammad Ali to have a last boxing match. They were singing off the mic. But when u gave them the mic, they stopped singing. Wat ONI!.. Haizzz….cannot ah cannot. It was about 2 am, when I grew really irritating. I would somehow morph into Mr Irritating Man when I am tired and sleepy.

   Bart is a kind soul to be sending us all home. Drove from West all the way to North and North West. I was seated infront and I got hold of Bart’s super extra long and big torch lite. I was just playing with it and being super irritating. And all the while, I was saying how I was craving for McGriddles. My irritatingness somehow influenced Bart, Yana and Inspector Smith to go and buy McGriddles. YAY! Im irriatingly influential! So after dropping Yana, we went to go buy McGriddles at Admiralty’s 24hr McDonalds coz by then it was 4 30 am and breakfast was on the menu. We just couldnt wait any longer but had to devour the burgers in the car. Bart had to just smell the heavenly smell of the food coz he was driving. We felt really bad coz we didnt realise we are dropping Yana b4 we went to buy the stuffs. Sorry sorry Yana, we go next time K.

    Finally reached my place after dropping Inspector Smith off. Bart finished off his share of McGriddles and I was sipping off my tea. We were both stunned on wat we saw outisde the car. There were these 2 cats, a male and a female. The female was doin its irritating mating call before the Male appeared. The male, which was like twice as big as the female, went over to the female, grappled on her, both gave out tat hissing sound when cats fight, then the male was tossing the female, got on the back and started doing wat horny males and females, human and animals alike, do. We both had just witnessed a female cat got raped! I was tempted to call SPCA, but wat the hell is the point.

- Thank you Miss Heng for the sweet letter and the wonderful lollipop

- Thank you Lynda for the sweet msg and happy birthday

- Thank you Liyana for buying the marvelous cake

- Thank you Bart for sending us all home

- Thank you Erli for the nice planning of the party

- Thank you Inspector Smith for wanting to go buy the McGriddles

   We should all do this again, no?
