i don't get it. i have friends who are 20 years old and they still act as though they are still in primary school. they have this mindset that they OWN their friends. they get jealous when their friend got close to others. and they blame it on the other person without looking at the mirror first. and then the nonsense continues. everything is related to that other person. and it doesn't come directly, it's usually hints like " went out WHO?" or "talking to you-know-who on the phone?". it's worse if it's between two opposite sex. rumours start flying everywhere, tarnishing the persons involved's image. sometimes, they will even tell the whole world about it.

who i am close to or whether or not i'm attached is none of your business. if you want to know anything, JUST ASK THE DAMN QUESTION! i'm not obligated to tell you everything and it's at my sole discretion whether or not i answer you truthfully.

i thought i'll never hear these kind of thing after secondary school, guess i was wrong.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAY WEI!

it was a short trip to kl together with alisa, lai ching and rita but nevertheless it was enjoyable yet relaxing. we went there on wednesday and came back today (friday). alisa wanted to see her boyfriend shien long, rita wanted to go back to cyberjaya then meet up with her bf, i wanted to buy a birthday present and lai ching is our driver! hehe... (don't kill me ya, lai ching?) still, we did our part by talking to her during on the way to kl. the topic of our conversation was "hot" and some of us had to chill for a while... meanwhile, rita got scared of me because of something i did to her *wink* and it's funny to see her behave when i asked her to. although i've been to kl countless times but like they say it's a different experience when you go on a trip with someone else. this time, there wasn't much waiting for someone to get ready and decisions were made rather quickly. what i want to say is sometimes it's really frustrating that time is wasted to decide what to eat, especially when everyone's hungry. for example when one person suggests a place to eat then another person complain about the price being expensive, the food not nice, atmosphere not nice..you get the idea. we can actually save that time and use it to walk around, window shopping.

speaking about food, lai ching told us about seed cafe when we were looking for a place to eat at one utama on the last day of the trip. the food is expensive but we don't really mind since it's once in a blue moon. furthermore, where can you find this kind of cafe in melaka? since we're there we might as well try something new. anyway, the menu is really interesting. i ordered a vietnam style beef noodle which is not really special but it's served with a nice tray. as for lai ching, she ordered a chee cheong fun with minced chicken. we were curious at first because the menu stated something about "hard work" and "interactive eating". when the food came, it hit us. she was supposed to wrap the chee cheong fun into something like wanton, herself! now that's interactive eating for you! alisa ate pasta with tomato sauce while shien long ordered a beef sausage which looks obscene, according to alisa. here are the pictures, although a bit blurry :-

the first day was spent at sunway pyramid where we had a nice dinner with shien chuin (shien long's other twin) and lai leng (lai ching's sister). that night we were unable to sleep well because it was freaking hot! as a result we woke up the next day and went to mid valley megamall with panda eyes. i bought my present there and we even had time to catch a movie. that basically summarizes our short trip. and did i mention we drink a lot of coffee while we were in kl? not to forget some beer too...

it was a fun outing yesterday. i was having a blast! i don't remmeber the last time i laughed this much. anyway, i went to sin yi's sister's wedding dinner last night with lai ching. actually, i was representing my dad and he asked me to bring someone along as there was another invitation. he was going to genting to watch lobo in concert with his friend.

i was surprised when i heard that his sister is getting married. i mean, she's still young and is just starting to build a career. yet, seeing them on stage smiling happily all the way made feel like getting married also. the problem is finding the right partner and having loads of cash. i don't know how to describe that feeling but it's very heart warming when the screen a short video biography of the bride and bridegroom.

after the dinner, we met up with ee lin, thye shin, ah wei and eileen at ee lin's rented house. we played a couple of rounds of need for speed:underground drinking teh tariks i bought earlier. and then one by one started to leave, leaving me and lai ching talking to ee lin in her room. we talked about lots of stuff and the last hour of talking was the highlight. i was shedding tears! no, not crying but actually laughing my ass off! we finally left at 6am and went for dim sum before i sent lai ching home.

some people just don't know how to appreciate the things they have or own. perhaps it was influenced by their family background, but i was getting annoyed by friends who constantly whine about petty little things. and some people became jealous of me just because i have something new or just that little bit lucky. they just don't understand that i don't always have the luck all the time. sometimes, i need to work or sacrifice something in order to get the things i want. i rarely ask money from my parents or sister to buy things. some people aren't born with golden spoon.

another thing is, i get annoyed when people who are old enough to think for themselves doesn't know how to act accordingly. they just think that they are still their parents' cute little baby and sulk all they want. they get angry easily when things don't go their way.

on another note, the number one thing that turns off guys is girl that act cute although they are NOT. it doesn't matter what age they are but the older they are, the worse. instead of being cute, they are making a mockery of themselves. these people will scare off their friends and if you think that being cute can help you get lucky with the guys of your dreams, DREAM ON!

i got myself a temporary tattoo today! actually, i've always wanted a permanent one since i saw john boy's (an ex-hitz.fm dj) tattoo. the reasons that stopped me from getting one is because i'm scared of the pain and also the risks involved (read: mercury poisoning). but then again, who knows? i might change my mind in the future.

here's the picture of my tattoo:-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIN YI!

i was having my hair cut today when i heard a blow horn sound outside the barber shop. and then the barber exclaimed, "is the guy selling putu mayam?". i looked and saw the guy pushing his bicycle with some sort of aluminium tong on it. suddenly it reminds me of my childhood days when i often eat putu mayam. nowadays it's so hard to find people selling it and i was quite happy to see that guy. even the barber told me that he really liked eating it since he was young. he said when he was still living in his kampung he used to eat it very often. since he came to the city he doesn't know where to buy it. so both of us went out to buy it and the barber even told the indian guy to stop at his shop everytime he's there.

actually, i don't know how to explain what a putu mayam is. it's something you eat with coconut and brown sugar. some say it's also nice to eat with curry. i hope to see more of that guy soon...

anyway, it looks like this:



childhood days are so sweet...
