"Haloo!"
"Haloo?"
Me: Hello.
"Haloo?"
"Haloo?"
Me: Hello..... *in frustration* HELLO!!!
*click*
What the Fork?


This is what i always go through every day since i got here...
And the fact that im in the middle of nowhere doesn't help.......
Bloody phone......
I somehow always get a second hand phone.......
Black Ice..... Previously my sis phone.
Untill she got her NEW Motorola V3i.......
Its not that the black ice is a bad phone...
Good camera.
An MP3 player.....
A decent handphone....
Was pretty happy when i got it from my sis....


Been close to two years......
that was then.
NOw....
Its a pain in My Arse.
the phone has a mind on its OWN!!!!
It switches off as it pleases.....
The Batt doesn't last as long anymore.......
Its giving me lots of problems......
Example:
2nd scenario: Valentine's Day....
Alvin: Hello?
Me: Hello?
Alvin: Hello??
Me: HeLLO!?
Alvin: Hey man can you hear me?
Me: yes....
Alvin: Hey man, i got something to tell you.....
Me: hello? yeah?
Alvin: I love you man.
..............
*Distant muffled giggles and laughing*
Me: What?
Alvin: Hello? Yeah you heard me man... I love you....
Me: Shut the fork up.
Alvin: Hello? Hello? Dude your phone sucks.
*like i know it...*
****************
I've always been a fan of O2 models....
There's just something individualistic about their models...
Of course they make Bloody BIG pdas/phones....
But at least they make them nice.
Not ugly with a antenna as big as a thumb attached on the top leftside..

Well?
Guess What????
Im gonna GET ONE!!!!!!!
My dad decided that it was just too annoying to talk to me with the phone im using now...
Its a load of crap and makes me look bad.
And not to mention,
cheap.



Actually my dad already got the phone before CNY.....
it was initialy for his Use... (cmon dad.... what were you thinking? You got the N95 already!!!)
But only decided to give it to me now......

EPISODE IV: BRAIN LAG

OH BLOODY NUTS.
This is What happens..
when there is a lapse of common sense..

I was on my way back from collecting my girlfriend from Pui Shi (a friend i made) whom i borrowed to...
When Ravi (another friend i made) invited me for a game of futsal.
Why Not Right?
I wasn't getting enough exercise ever since i got here.
A little footsie won't hurt..
What the heck.

We played on the road cause there wasn't any proper futsal court yet.
Through out the first half of the game i was playing terribly.
Me and Ravi were down one point and struggling to make opportunities for a goal.
Damn Slippers. Restricting my movements.
Can't fake moves with them on.
I took them off.
BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!
The others did warn me though.
I was eager to win.
Did seem like a good idea at that time.

The equalizing goal and the many opportunities i opened proved that.
Then Ravi was challenged by both our opponents.
I was open.
Ravi gave a light tap to cross the ball pass the opponents for me to tap the ball in.
In a swift move of my feet, i changed direction to rush for the ball.
It was in my reach.
But i missed it.
Then i felt something was wrong with my feet ever since i rushed for the ball.
I looked down.
OH SHIT.

"you ok man?" Ravi
"yeah im alright, can you help me back to my house?"
"sure." Ravi

"If you need any help just give me a call alright?" Ravi
"yeah i will, thanks man."
I tended to my injury in the bathroom.

I checked my feet............



Wait for it......

What the heck is that?

















ARRRGGGH! What the heck did i do to myself!!!??
Apparently, the friction between the tar road and the sole of my feet combined with the sudden change of direction, caused my skin to tear from my feet!
The result as you can see is quite painful.


I had no choice but to remove my skin,
IF not it would be just disgusting to walk around with a piece of skin dangling from the sole of my feet
I prepared for surgery.





THE OPERATING TABLE







MY TOOL OF SELF-INFILICTION
(heheh.)








AFTER THE SURGERY....









THE PIECE OF SKIN...
(my housemates jokingly said it looked like potato skin)
(kinda true)

After that i thought i could just let it heal....
But my house mates insisted i see a doctor...
so we went out.


"apa terjadi?" the doctor asked..
Pui Yee (not to be confused by Pui Shi) stayed silent...
"Sebenarnya doctor..... saya.... bodoh."
After telling my embarassing tale of shame and stupidity to the doctor....
Weng Khit had to go and tell Pui shi, Alvin, Yoke Ying and Li juen.
Thanks alot bro.

There they were outside the clinic...
Alvin, pui shi and yoke ying half laughing at me.
Only Li juen looked concerned...

How stupid can you actually look?
You can ask me.
I just experienced it.

Well now im just resting at home....
got a MC from the doctor...
feet does sting though.







I will survive.


I'll just have to figure out how to get to lectures now.

>> FAST FORWARD

Well this is as what the title says...
A Fast Foward....
Be on the watch out for these if i didn't post for a long period of time......
Here are some pics
of cny, and others....

ON The way back home....
(michael buble's home comes to mind)
bought the Grassland..... bus.
Damn Comfortable.....
Heheh. Look what i found!
this is a pic of my Grandmama and my late Grandpa
With a mini cooper in the background.
look how happy my grandpa looks....
could it be because of Grandmama
or the mini...?
( i guess it runs in the family...)
(heheh. =P)


My New Kicks....
you like....?
recently going crazy over skatekicks....
these shoes are snug...
and performs best at comfort....
really durable these things....
but one major draw back....
........................
Kinda heavy.


OH YA!!!!
My dad just got me my Work machine.....
this is The Other.....
My Misstress so to speak.
While im not with my girlfriend... i'll be spending time with her...
heheh.

She is fitted with a dual core processor....
not to be confused with core2duo.
1gig RAM and110 GB hardisk space
using buggy Vista..... (hate vista)
The Best are its altec lansing speakers


COMPAQ RULES


Well i was living in my grandmama's hse... during the CNY hols.
besides going to Grandama's place...
*note grand mama (mother side)
ama (father side)
Anyways, i was out on the second day....
out to buy newspaper for my dad.
Then i realised some thing....






their back alley is GREEN??
with Grass???!!
I wasn't used to this cause...
In my place (jb)
the back of our houses are like personal dumpyards.
In melaka...
the COWS can graze behind your house...
literaly.
"the grass is truly greener on the other side"
(behind the house!!)







Me and my family went to Jonker street later that evening....
with my cousins..
Which we've been procrastinating to go actually go and shop there countless of times....
Finally the Time came......
we went there at about five or six....
and the place was already quite crowded....









there were many shops along the street.....
and stalls set up outside those shops on the street.

So basically, you would ask... what's jonker street like?
An overly glamourized pasar malam, thats what it is....
the price is premium....
like in malls....
so yeah.. that was how it was like..
a mall outside on the street.
minus the aircond and marble tiled floor....
period.


So my dad wanted to get a portrait for the restaurant that my mom manages..
My sis.. wanted to buy keychains as momentos and some clothing and a bag...
My youngest sis just tagged along..
Kakak wanted to get clothings too.

I on the other hand,
Didn't know what to buy.
so we walked around...
Until... We found.......



This...

firstly its the name....
I squinted at it...
Puzzled at what it meant...
I asked my dad
"Whats this dad?"
He replied....
"i Dunno"
i tried to figured out what they meant by magic rubber....
rubber as in the substance it was made... (it was made of wood)
or an action for it to be used....
At that very moment...
My sis was looking at me.
with her eyebrow in a Do-Smeell-What-The-Rock-Is-Cooking? fashion..
I bursted out laughing!
My sis got my vibe and laughed too....
its our little secret sis.....






oh.... this guy was selling fantastic tees at a marked down price...
they were one of a kind since they were supposedly for the european market.
there is a reason for why they are for the europeans though.....
they were....
well..
Obscene.
f**k
d**k
B**ch
all adorned most the tees.....
my mom looked...hesistant..
then she relaxed when she saw decent ones....

these were 100% cotton
and it was only rm25!!!!!!
found a tee
that suited me and like what the picture meant...
(will show pic)


Sadly this was the only thing i bought....
one tee.







My sis on the other hand bought, multiple acessories, a bag on me....., a tee on mee, and others...
kakak also went on a shopping spree.... a tee. necklace, rings, and bracelets


Overall...
Cny was enjoyable.....
got considerable amount of ang pow....
But missed the chance to get more as i went back on the day my family planned visiting...
Cripes..

Travelled back to Kampar.... from melaka....
Horrible.....
after one bus change and multiple bus stops.
Finally reached after 9 hours.
then reached medan gopeng.
couldn't find a taxi willing to bring me to kampar because of traffic...
got to bus terminal... then took public bus to kampar.
Traffic was Fartking Ridiculous
Took 2 hours to cover less than 500 meters!!!

Took another 1 1/2 hour to reach kampar....
then i realised they had no taxi to new from old kampar after 8pm.
fantastic.

Thank Goodness Ah Fu was around and he picked me up...
Thank you sifu!!!!!



*sigh*
finally back...
now only one problem...
My hands are itching to play mahjong...

EPISODE III: The BREAKup

MY GIRLFRIEND
What the hell we're you thinking when I said Girlfriend in my previous post?


I like the way this picture screams...
Ride me.... ride me...
Bring me faster......
*ahem*





*The Hotseat*
that can render any male impotent...
if not riden properly...
oh how my marble sack hurt riding this thing ...!








NOW i know what you're thinking...
these must be her shocks....
what makes her comfatable...
but really after one month riding her...
its not much use...






Magic indeed........









AWW...
Baby got tatooed....
And she put my initials on her body.....






Now the story....
everything was fine when i bought her
for the first few days she paced perfectly.....
then the problems began.......
while pedaling....
the pedal broke....
goodness know how...
(but secretly i think its my weight)
it didnt matter.
I'll just do what i do what i always do.
Blame it on someone or on some other reason...
okay fine.....
i'll just go back and fix her....
as i brought her to the shop which i bought her
her front tyre burst
the moment i arrived.
Great darling.
"your implants exploded"
then after i got her "new implants"
soon after.... some thing major happenned.
mind you.
this all happened in a span of seven days...
i was riding her back from Uni.
wary of her current injury
and the new reinforced metal pedals as a replacement.
i decided i would pace her.... again
bringing her to 2nd gear and coming out fast from a corner...
i felt at the top of the world
Until.
I heard a clink as i stepped on the pedal to make her go faster...
OH SHIT!!!
Her friggin chain broke!
I lost my balance as i hit my pelvic bone on her y frame..
and....
rammed into a tree..

This Is....
The chain that broke......
and broke again two days later after the 1st incident.
I was so Pissed....
that i couldn't walk straight and cursed at the bike shop with every step i took.....
Thanks a bunch bike shop.....
yeah you know who you are....


Bloody Bike Shop.
