Monday - went to SPCA... you knew the story. oh btw... did i mention the accidental discovery of
Cocoa Boutique somewhere near Times Square? The choc tasting was good... but i wasn't really thinking when i bought them... they're quite pricey now when i think of it. hmm but oh well... i cant possibly return the products so might just as well enjoy em! oooh and of cuz... the spontaneous choice of Thai food for lunch at Green Lotus, somewhere behind Lot 10. =) good food = happy me.
Tuesday - Had it all planned to watch all the old classic cartoons like Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, and Aladdin. Jean got her VCR player, and we all went back to search hi and low for all the ancient video tapes tht we could get our hands on. Brought 'em all to jean's condo, together with snacks and a 5-litre bottle of water, we 4 girls were so hyped up and keen on the whole thg. But! But it didnt turn out the way we wanted at all. The VCR player wasnt working after all... so the disappointment sent us walking down the road towards the nearest Starbucks. Caffeine therapy... always works! ;) Chea Ean went back, and the Js went swimming... and sauna after that. Mamak for dinner; slept over at Jean's.
Wednesday - lunch at La Bodega with Jean and her friend Lyn; back to TPM for a meeting with the admin; back to apartment to pack stuff. Nothing much.... just a very laid back day.
Thursday - main event was the moving of furniture from bukit jalil to kepong. kanlun left for Redang with the boys. Had steamboat for dinner with Chunyie, a very stormy night i remember. quite different from the usual steamboat experience cuz 'twas windy and slightly wet cuz of the rain and cool air. mental note: steamboat on rainy days are recommended.
Friday - met up with Jean & Jess in 1U when they're having their break (oh they're working as promoters for the Samsung Road Show). I kicked the ball and it got in the goal and i got a free mug. muahaha... cool.
Saturday - met up with chea ean for the french animation marathon, but ended up circling the area lookin for the auditorium, only to get there 15 mins before the show ended. haha. sad. but funny.
Sunday - that's tmr. plan to go to the Brickfields temple, but dunno if i can wake up! so yea... laters. will write more tmr.

Siao!
If I have nothing to worry about, or no one to answer to, no norms to comply to, no expectations to live up to, no one that i could or might harm by my actions, no punishment to befall me, no consequences to bear, no prison no guilt-haunting no zilch, and if logic doesnt exist at all in this universe, I would:
*evil laugh*
- Do something nasty however I feel like it to those who couldnt get pass my Standard Hypocrisy Test which I'll set by reasonable standards and logic.
- Eat everything I love, whenever I want it, however much I can manage to eat, until my stomach is close to bursting. muahahahahaaa.
- Fly a jetplane to the Arctic and Antartic, catch a fish or some rare animal that you cant find in tropical ocean, bring it back to Malaysia and adopt it. I'll name it... The Fish. I'll have my own gigantic Arctic-imitation aquarium. Before I come back, I'll take many many pictures with the whole Polar Bear family and the Penguin family and their "yi ma gu zeh" ('all the relatives' in cantonese)!
- Find a suitable date and name it the Annoyance Day, and dedicate that day to just annoy the hell out of every single people everybody meets and make it compulsory to all citizens in the whole wide world. Those who disobey will be sent to a room where they get annoyed till they couldnt stand it and have to repulse and annoy those people back. No choice whatsoever.
- Continue talking crap until all of you get agitated and burst into tears! And then laugh in your face!
*evil laugh*

Have You Ever...
Have you ever:
- Blown your nose a little too loudly in your class when everyone's listening to a complicated math problem frustratingly and every tiny sound seems to be amplified and irritating more than it usually is?
- Splattered a mouthful of coke in your friend's face due to a stupid joke another friend was telling?
- Tripped right in front of your friend who said hello to you, and a whole bunch of passer-bys, while turning around to greet him?
- Dug your nose and absent-mindedly wiped it away under the table only to notice the guy you were having a crush on was standing not far away looking at you wide-eyed and stopped in his track which seemed to be heading towards you for a chat... initially but not anymore?
- Shouted at a girl in a dance performance who made the same old mistake she always made during rehearsals, only this time it was the real thing, and made a fool out of yourself in front of the whole crowd?
- Thought that you actually made a funny joke when the incident above happened that's why the crowd was laughing and you actually beamed only to realize much much much later they were laughing AT you and not anything else?
- Asked your mom if it's possible not to grow old because and only because you're worried you're gonna have white hair and you think it's scary?
- Asked your mom if it's possible not to grow up at all because you like the way you are and also because grow up means growing boobs for a normal girl and you think there's a high chance you're a normal girl and you don't wanna grow boobs because you wouldn't know how to wear a bra because dunno which idiot invented the bras with the hook behind when it's so obvious eyes grow in front (on the face to be exact) and you're scared you wont be able to wear bras because your hands may not be long enough to reach behind and you'd get into trouble because girls have to wear them and you wonder if you can actually not wear them yet be normal and not get into trouble?
- Slipped on the ice and fell with a loud thud in front of all the students coming out from class and the 2 seconds silence and eyes staring at you felt like an eternity?
- Been very extremely mean to someone when you know you shouldnt but did it anyway?
- Asked someone a silly question just for the fun of it and just because you feel like it even when you know it irritates the hell out of him/her/them but did it anyway?
- Wished you were someone else at some point of your life?
- Wished that you were an Eskimo instead because it'll be cool to tell people your house is an igloo? "My house is Igulumuatamala Igloo. I live in an igloo. I'm living in an igloo. I lived in an igloo. I used to live in an igloo. My parents live in an igloo...." Cool.

Just Wondering
There was a young lass who was twenty-three years of age 23 years ago. She met a young lad who's kind and decent and nice looking, whom she eventually got married to. A year later, on a hot sunny afternoon in December, a little baby girl who weighed 6.3lbs was brought into this world.
This little baby girl is now twenty-two years old young lass, just like her mother was, some 2 decades ago. Just like any girls, she'd of course loved to have someone special who'd say all the nice things in the world to her, treat her like a princess, protect her from the scary world out there, take her in the arms and make her believe she's the most important thing to him. In short, she'd loved to meet her Prince Charming.
But truth be told, not everyone is that lucky and most people usually dont get all of what they want (partly because they never cease to want more, but that another issue altogether). So she's still just a young lass, living with her parents and sibblings, and still studying. 23 years ago, her dear mother didn't get to go to university let alone overseas because in those days Girls weren't thought to need such high education. And also her mother didn't come from a well-to-do family.
So the young lass felt blessed to have such wonderful parents and fun sibblings, such interesting relatives in Penang and Singapore and Australia. She's blessed with such good and true friends wherever she goes, and not just one or two, but many many. She's showered with love and caring friends all over the world and has a comfortable life and she doesnt feel she should ask for more. Even though sometimes there's a hole somewhere within her, feeling empty and lonely. Only sometimes.
And it's at that sometimes that she wonders, what it'd be like to be marry so early and have kids so young at age. What it'd be like to have kids in 2 years' time, just like her mother had. What it'd be like to be a young mother whose kids have young grandmother, and what it'd be like for her career with kids at such young at age, or if she's even gonna HAVE a career. And what if she has kids later in life, and her kids dont get to spend much time with their grandparents for they'll be too old by then and might just leave before they're born.
What would it be like, she wonders.
Lots of possibilities. Infinitive. It's a world of possibilities, aint it not.
Meanwhile, all she can do is just wonder. =)

Colors in Canvas
Throughout the 21 years' walk of life, i've seen many many kinds of people.
Those who are so very nice they dont mind other people taking them for granted.
Those who dont give a damn about anything that happen to themselves let alone to others.
Those who are just plain selfish holding an invisible red pencil always drawing a line between themselves and others, and make it known that no one can cross their lines. the "that's not my problem" kinda mentality.
Those who are selfish, topping up the flavor with greed. the "what's mine is mine, what's yours is mine too" motto.
Those who dont know how to spell 'c.o.u.r.t.e.s.y.' and 'r.e.s.p.e.c.t.'
Those who're naive enough to believe they know everythg and the world is in their palms.
Those who, on the contrary, has so much in them and so much to offer, yet dont quite see it because of the lack of confidence.
Those who're extreme pessimists, and others extreme optimists/borderline surrealists, and of course in between perfectionists, realists.
Those who're infected with Hypocrisy and are at their last stages of integrity.
Of course, these are only just a few to mention. Only 21 years of life, 16 years of memories, and I've met so many different kinds of people. Am I bemused or what. Come to think of it, more often than not these are the people whom we all encounter on a daily basis and make our lives so much more colorful. Without them our lives would be so mundane and dull we wouldnt have anythg or anyone to talk about, no inconceivable actions or silly statements to comment on, no scandalous affairs, no injustice to fight against.
No nothing. Life would be, just. A bird. Sky. Girl. Wind. House. That's it. The colors these people painted our lives with. It may not always be rainbow colors, but it's still better than black and white. Thank them, we all should.
When you see a rotten apple so rotten it couldn't be help anymore yet you cant get rid of it, you might as well think of it as a nutritious food source for the worms. Right? Shit happens. That's life.
