visiting durian

evie, nicole, lewe and janus came to kl for a holiday...with them they brought michael and morton (did i spell ur names correctly?)...the thing i remember most is lewe, michael, janus and morton's reactions to durian...we went to pak li's kopitiam (my absolute favourite, not that i have lots of favs) and we ordered like humongous amount of food...for dessert (we did order practically half of the menu) nicole ordered the durian-ice-shaving....it was....a crazy experience, to be pc....


they couldn't even stomach the smell...the made these disgusted faces (very very comical) and gosh the taste!!!!!don't even describe the taste...to quote morton 'it tasted like fart...nasty fart (at that)'...fart????did u guys think i'd purposely feed ur delicate palates with FART????but still...their reactions are precious....they couldn't stand anything related to durian...what about durian cake/ice cream guys???looking back, i still don't get that...is there anything about durian that is particularly nasty to foreigners but yummy to locals?


anyway, i experienced a lot these few days when they were here in kl...for example, it's really really hard for me to recommend a ba-kut-teh restaurant to evie and nicole since yup most of the ones i know are like at the suburbs...secondly, kl is really really jammed with people...esply bukit bintang area...i hate that...thirdly, i'm now all reacquainted to kl's public transportation, majorly the trains...i've been to berjaya times square like 4 days in a row...fourthly, sushi king is not particularly great in times square...the food is so mediocre, i wonder why people even go there...but i do love the fish ice cream (my sister alin loved it!)...remember the fish ice cream evie, nicole?u guys got it at the korean restaurant on nicole's bday ^^


fifth, morton and janus are the crazy ones, lewe and michael are the level headed ones, nicole and evie, well, i've lived with evie and seen nicole so many times it's difficult to describe them with just a sentence...they are great!sixth (is there a sixth?), i feel bad for them for the taxi situation...the taxi drivers fleeced them like lambs just coz they are foreigners...bad impression malaysians...seventh, (i've reached my limits of counting here) morton still didn't get his skate board, janus did spent a LOT on shopping (even though he did promised me so many times before coming) and i love the thoughtful gifts u guys brought for my family (the chocolates and the fragrant tea are just delish!the rose, well, like my sister said, my first from a guy, even though it was from all of u guys...let me keep my delusion)...


hope u guys had a great time in malaysia and do come back for a visit!next time i promise i'll have a license and i'll bring u guys to other places!

p/s: visiting durian is just a misleading title to make things all the more interesting than they actually are...

what have i learned this year?

good question...bear on reflecting (u can see my language is deteriorating appallingly)...will think about it deeply...hmmm...

hisashiburi-dane?

yes, it's been a while does it?heaven knows time is not a problem here...i'm swamped (by not doing anything, to quote michael parting words 'u should get a job this summer'...sure michael...sure...)...i'm missing my good friends, nia, rachel and joyce...we had such great times (doing stupendous things)...shout out to my friends who are far away...have a blessed christmas this year...

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lalalala

u know when u see someone all fired up doing something u want to do the same thing, right?...do get what i mean??...anyway, reading someone's blog motivated me to write...but...i don't have anything to say...so...hey people!!!!!!!what's up????????

learn about thyself

cleaning up and clearing up shoe racks enlighten me to a few facts of my inner self:

1. i'm a shoe-whore (not that i don't notice this before)...i have tons of shoes...particularly heels...and flats...and shoes...more shoes...
2. my shoes occupy a third of my family shoe rack (more like a shoe wardrobe)...this is a notable achievement...the fact that i come from a family of 7, 5 of them being females with lots of shoes...u do the math...
3. i take great care of my shoes...truly...i have shoes aged more than 5 years, in healthy condition...shows how great my shoes love is...
4. i want more shoes...
5. my mom should buy a bigger shoe-wardrobe...
6. i want more money to buy more shoes...
7. i need a rich as dirt sugar daddy...to pay for my shoes...
8. i want to go shoe shopping...

this is the harley's great enlightenment of the week...

public announcement

i'm in a great mood to be pissed (i learned how to excellently write a paradox in college, thank you my great teachers)...it's supposed to be a past event but i just have the need to write it now...i was traveling to a mall in the city (such a big event, the use of the word 'traveling') by the lrt and monorail (aka the trains)...on my way back, as usual the train was packed like a tin of sardines (so boring, need to come out with new idioms)...as usual, there were a bunch of youngsters (most of them who do this are usually young, the younger they are, the morally idiot they are, unsurprisingly)...


okay moving on, these younguns were seated on the infirm seats...u know, the seats for old people or pregnant ladies, special seats...of course in a course of a ride i can hardly see an old person or a pregnant lady (at least so far in my experience, but then again it's just coincidence)...but on that particular ride, this pregnant lady came in the train...she looked tired...what did these stupid moronic youngsters do?...*clap clap* yes they ignored her...she stood like about 10 cm from their seats, for her whole long journey...i could recall, there were this idiotic guy who was holding some sort of cert from a local uni (i remember him well, the rat bastard)...this moron was chatting to a malay girl wearing a headscarf and very stylish outfit (the bitch)...and there were 2 other malay bitches sitting next to the first bitch...


the lady stood for the whole 5 or 6 stops...looking very exhausted...very heavily pregnant...none, i repeat, none of those who had seats even looked at her and offered their seats, those morons...and me, the moron of all morons, were too caught up doing the whole internal debate whether i should ask someone to relieve his/her seat for the lady and take a risk of being shot the evil eye from the preggie lady (she did look fierce and had the whole 'i take care of my own business' look on her face)....i should have just done it...at least i tried...


the moral of the story here, so far these malay youngsters have appropriately proven to me that they can be heartless, conscienceless son of a gun (on a previous ride, this nice chinese guy gentlemanly gave my sister and i seats) and i am a coward...live and learn people....live and learn...

venting my spleen

it's confirmed...i ABSOLUTE*UCKING SURE I HATE MALAYSIAN INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!


which part of developing world is malaysia regarding to it's internet???it's so slow, it's messy, service is like a pile of *hit, anything related to internet in malaysia puts my blood to boil....wake up malaysia!!!!we need competent internet connection to be parallel to the developed world!!!

p/s: please excuse my language, grammar and my un-PC-ness...it is meant to be that way...

lips don't lie

.........NOT!!!!!.........lips do lie...my lips are chapped and dark....they look like they belong to a heavy smoker and i hate my lips...i don't even smoke!...it feels unfair somehow....yesterday, i took some pictures with rachel and i noticed that i looked really bad...chapped and blaken lips, due to dry climate, lack of chapstick use (blame it on the exam fever) and lack of fluid....dry scaly scarred facial skin, due to the same reasons as the lips excepting the chapstick (substitute that to lotion application)...bloated face due to crazy sleeping hours and weight gain (let's shout this to the world!)...life sucks...


p/s: my lips are supposed to be beautiful, depicting femininity at the cusp of youth (whatever that is)....

remember

packing is such a pain!to make me happier (and lessen the pain) i listen to songs...songs that keep on replaying in my head like a broken record...songs like bsb's like a child...such a beautiful song...and sing to paul anka's put your head on my shoulder...


and look at pictures...i'll miss u so much rachel!u r my best friend who understood me!rachel plz plz plz get a facebook account soon!!!we'll set facebook on fire, u & i *wink wink*!!!!hahahaha *fangirls screammmmm!!!*....

both of us posers ^^ (at the corner of queen and shortland sts where we got too lazy to walk and sat on the newly built wood bench, enjoying our third baklava in 2 consecutive days)

things i will remember about rachel:

• our dinners....we do enjoy our gastronomic feasts!she always always always get me dessert!love love love u rachel!
  
• her generosity....she's such a great person, who rarely gets angry and put in bad words....i am the bitch in this beautiful friendship with my 'shits, bitch' and so on huhuhu....now i feel bad...anyway, she listens to my 'bitching' sessions (u know this well rachel, week after week)....
• our mutual love of all things entertaining...asian entertainment, that is...from korean to japanese dramas n movies, to pop groups and idols, let us release our fangirls scream!!!!!*sorry evie, u must suffer, thanks so much for ur patience!*...she hooked me into these addictive songs such as super junior's sorry sorry and snsd's gee...we also have our endless discussions of bishies and cuties...our latest target - jang geun suk aka hwang tae kyung....
• willingness to do what i want...such as take crazy pictures, watch movie, eat at my favourite places, watch insensible (or is it?) youtube videos etc etc...
  
• and some things only u & i will ever know....
  

p/s: as i count the days, i will miss more and more of all of my great friends i'm leaving behind...christina, nia, joyce, dora, yaya, fazan, amin, choon wei, gaurav, stacey, chen, evie, nicole, jessie, kak tun and a host of other people....ur friendships help me through my years here and i'll treasure all the good, not-so-great and crazy moments, always!

'see this my way'

evie got a whole crazy view on people...she's funny that way...today, we went to auckland fish market, she felt like fish and chips....i ended up eating most of her chips...okay, before i deviate more off topic, let's move on to the main topic...we went to get our fish and chips...i managed to be clumsy and accidentally spilled our tartar sauce...please don't be alarmed...most of the sauce was managed to be saved by my own fast reflex...and we bought 2 more sauces, an alioli dip and tomato sauce...anyway, apart from falling in lust, errr, infatuation to the beautiful friendly guy at the counter, evie managed to make all these quirky, unexpected remarks about people we saw along the way...


witness these:

1. first unfortunate guy: the beautiful young caucasian guy at the counter of the fish and chips place...he got really really intense turquoise (were they blue?) eyes....he was being friendly, asking about our weekend and making uhmm very uncomfortable comment about the size of our meals....anyway, he was generally being a social creature we humans are....evie's verdict: 'he must be such a player...he knew he's such an all-that, u know a hottie...'.....*silent moment*.....errr evie, the point was, we don't know who he really is...hehehe...
2. second unlucky guy: on the way back home, we passed this beautiful residential area of high end apartment complexes in front of the harbour near the viaduct...in front of the glass apartment complex (the one closest to the market) we saw this guy walking a cute pair of short small doggies....they (the dogs) were terribly cute...we commented on how cute the dogs were...evie's verdict: 'he must have used the dogs to get girls...u know, such a lame way to attract girls'....errr....i only noticed the dogs...hahahahaha....
3. third hapless person/s: on the other side of the apartment complex, now closer to the viaduct, we saw this bunch of probably filthy rich people having a great luncheon on a yacht...they were seen dipping bread with some dips...anyway, the looked like they were enjoying a social scene amongst friends...evie's verdict: 'they must be showing off'....okay....i don't even know what to say to that...i just laughed....

evie is really funny that way...she sees things differently...listen closely to her comments...very inspiring...refreshing too...and hilarious!hahahaha...
