Dear Yasmin

You inspired us to race-less unity
You motivated us to embrace diversity
You moved us with your wonderful creations
You reminded us to respect each others
You are the one-and-only Yasmin Ahmad
You are a role model for us, for me
You are a Legend that shall live on forever in our minds, our hearts, and our souls
May you rest in peace beside the Al-Mighty...

From Reluctance to Enjoyment

So, being a student felo means more than taking care of the students' welfare. We have to guide and monitor their activities progress. We have to do pep talks with them. We have to help them to re-enter their room with spare keys whenever they lock themselves out (P/S: Speaking from experience, students have a weird and consistent tendency to lock themselves out, especially when they want to go shower i.e. they only have their towels on them...). We, well only me, have to be the face of the dorm and PR-ing with the foreign students since my dorm start taking foreign students. And most unfortunately, we ahve to attend random workshops...Sigh...

Last week I attended a so-called "Kursus Pemantapan Felo" in Langkawi, albeit reluctantlybecause the Deputy Vice Chancellor decided to send out "chained mails" that read: Yo'all need to get your asses to the workshop unless you are terminally sick or dying. Hence, I ended up missing the most awesome debating tournament and in the blink of an eye...pooffff... I'm in Langkawi!

The registration - smooth, I roomed with my good friend Daniel.
The facilitators - nice, warm and welcoming! Really enjoy the workshop due to the facilitators only... Comical actions, remarks and jokes included...
The room that we got - Seriously absolutely totally SHADY! The first time Daniel took his shower, well he shouted like a crazy girl because the tap water was yellowish with rust fragments as the company...OMG! WTF! But being the troopers that we are, we presevered and 'tahan'... To add to the already humongous SHADINESS, our room carpet had weird spots all over it, we seriously didn't know and lagi seriously didn't want to know what was them or where did they came from...
The talks - B-O-R-I-N-G! So I doodled and memorized some song lyrics whenever I felt sleepy, which was like 85% of the time.
The Marching - Rather fun because I was not complaining like other suckers who were forced to be at the same place, at the same time as me. Seriously grateful that I was a Scout back in high school and I felt totally awesome since I nailed the marching...Fabulous Smiley Faces...
The workshop - turned into a training camp from "Biro Tatanegara". More complaining fro the other suckers followed since we had to do a lot of physical stuffs. So many people were in denial about where they were... But being the felos from my absolutely awesome dorm, we accepted the fact that we couldn't change anything and just simply had to go through with this workshop/talk/camp/whatever with High Adaptibilities and Classy Posh!

There were some fun things that made the camp enjoyable...
For starter, we broke the curfew everytime we had the chance to and went out from camp site to the beach, to the "Ikan Bakar" and seafood restaurant for fresh, cheap and delicious seafoods, to the souvenirs shops, and to go out from the camp site, just for fun doing nothing...

We also had a so-called "Group Survival" final day of the camp. Whereby we were left with nothing except our clothes on us, our I/C, and our other team-mates. So the aim was to collect 50 bucks per team for a BBQ dinner that we were having. To generate that amount of moolah, we worked in a Padi Museum and it was SO-SO-SO-MUCH FUN!!!! We "tanam/cucuk benih padi. tuai padi, bersihkan kiambang dalam kolam, and tangkap ikan-ikan (bersama dengan pacat-pacat sangat gila siul besar) menggunakan perangkap buluh di dalam sawah padi". It was fan-freakin'-tastic for me personally because I got to do all these things that I had never did before!!! Awesome!!!

But our kind, easy-going, and friendly facilitators suddenly unleashed their inner evil, sadistic and ruthlessly stingy alter egos!!! So we were overworked and underpaid... Good thing we were allowed to freelancing to generate more moolah for our team... My team decided to sing classic Malay songs to foreign tourists and We were absolutely successful!!! Our first customers were a couple of Middle-eastern lovers. They knew nothin' about what we were saying but they were so awesomely kind to want to treat our group of 8 members to lunch when we got to the words "hungry and no money". Of course we rejected the tantalizing offer, so we sang "Rasa Sayang" to them and they gave us 10 bucks... OMG!!! So much moolah with so little efforts!!!

After that, we got 30 bucks from a group of American tourists that kinda prefered to pay us to n0t-to-sing... Haha... But they went along when we told them we were singing classic Malay songs (P/S: "Negaraku" was made into acoustic Malay classic briefly... Everyone were standing up, including the tourists). Now we seriously started to consider the idea of staying permanently in Langkawi and sing our ways to fame and fortune!!! Seriously!!!

A very warm and friendly UK middle-aged couple followed by an enthusiastic and energetic Austrian middle-aged couple gave us 10 bucks each. So by singing 4 times and choosing from 3 songs (Rasa Sayang, Ikan Kedek-kedek, and Negaraku) we managed to get 60 bucks already...
That's freakin' awesome!!!! We were going to sing more because we just enjoy singing to the foreign tourists' clueless and happy faces but our plan was cutted short due to time constraint and the other suckers that were asking for donation because they couldn't use their brains to come up with something more creative to get money...Sigh... But we sure as hell had fun...

Through the camp, I made new friends and we totally bonded from the fantastic times we spent together. I also sneaked out from camp to the beach bars to drink and now I'm absolutely into "Frozen Magarita"... Before we went back, we stopped by the Kuang town because all of us "left": a lot of important stuffs (i.e. alchohols, chocolates, travel luggages, perfumes, souvenirs, etc) there. I spent some money there too in the process of "getting back" the beers, vodkas, chocolates and souvenirs that I "left'' in Kuang myself before the camp.

On the ride back, we watched Micheal Jackson Concert while enjoying the "Langsat". We dropped by for "Nasi Lemak Ikan Masin" dinner at Sungai Perak. And when we finally arrived UKM, it was 1234am this Tuesday...

Just in case you don't know, I enjoyed myself towards the end of our camp. Big-Time!!!

Think but still stucked
Try but still failing
Angry but powerless
Sad but no tears
Depressed but stagnant
Frustrated but furtile
Speak but vague
Want but can't get

The Hunt for Black Panty Hose

One fine day, not so long ago, Moi woke up rather early for a Saturday cos Moi have to lend Moi support to Moi sister that was attending an important job interview. Moi cleaned up and was ready to go.

Moi walked to the bus stop outside Moi campus. On the way there, Moi sister messaged Moi...

Sis: Hey bro, where art thou now?
Moi: Hey sis, walkin 2 get the bus. Y?
Sis: Umm... I nid ur help la...
(Moi brain: This is weird... Not good!)
Moi: Wit wat?
Sis: I nid u 2 help me buy somethin...Can?
(Moi brain: Red Alert!!! Definitely Not Good!!!)
Moi: Spill it sis! wat u wan?
Sis: Can u help me to buy BIG A4 size envelope?
(Moi brain: OMG! Is that it?! I'm such a paranoid idiot!)
Moi: Oh! No prob! C u l8r!
Sis: While ur at it, pls help me buy panty hose too... Can?
(Moi brain: See see see... I told you that there's something fishy!!! )
Moi: R U SERIOUS??? I thought all girls passing 12yo have panty hose??!! Y u nid to buy now?
Sis: I 4got to bring mine dis mornin... Pls pls pls...
Moi: Ok la... U-O-Me BIG Time!

So Moi got new mission before meeting Moi sister... The Hunt for Panty Hose!!!

Moi went to this pseudo-convinience store in Bandar Tasik Selatan's LRT/KTM/RapidKL Bus station. No trace of panty hose...

Moi went to Times Square...Only 9am... Not open yet...

Moi went to Times Square's... Starbucks Coffee!!! And get Mocha Frappuccino!!!!!!

Moi waited...

10am, Moi made way to Watson in Times Square... No panty hose...
Moi went to the sales assistant...Moi called her Busy...

Moi: Do you sell panty hose here?
Busy: Why you want panty hose?
Moi: I want to wear it. Do you sell it here?
Busy: Why do you want to wear it? You are girl?
Moi: I'm a guy, but sometimes I do drag... Like last night I did and tore my panty hose. So I need a new one now. Do you sell it here?
Busy: You are weird and crazy...
Moi: Yes I am! Do you sell panty hose here?
Busy: No.

And stupid Busy walked away from Moi... Absolutely Dazed and Terrified... Hahahaha... Suit her well for being a Busy Body!!! (I know! I know! Moi is Evil! Right?!)

Moi was rather pleased to have annoyed and frightened the Busy-body Busy... But the hunt for panty hose continued...

Moi walked to this random shop selling socks, accessories, and PANTY HOSES!!! BINGO!!!!!!
There was a Major problem... On display are as follow:

1) Fishnet panty hose
2) Medium-sized fishnet panty hose
3) Skanky fishnet panty hose
4) S&M Fishnet panty hose
5) S&M leather panty hose
6) Pink panty hose
7) Green panty hose
...So many colors, so little blog space...
31) Polka dot panty hose
... So many different colors of polka dots, so so so little blog space...

Basically there were over a gazillion variety on display... Moi called Moi sister...

Moi: I found the panty hose museum, what color/type/DNA/species/design you want?
Sis: Oh! So many design ah... Then no need to buy already la... I just found my black panty hose. Apparently I did remember to brought it along this morning... Thanks anyway...
Moi: I will wack you when I meet you after this!
Sis: Sorry la... Later I treat you lunch... OK?
Moi: That's more like it... See you later sis...
Sis: Ok! See ya!

(Moi brain: At least you learned that 1) people like to judge other people eventhough they shouldn't so those who judge will be judged back and 2) there are a gazillion panty hoses out there...)

The hunt was stopped... So Moi went to support Moi sister... Starbucks Frap in hand!!! (Happy Grin)

We Hate You Too!!!

Making my Perfect life Imperfect
Through your stupid accusations
That I'm not doing my works
That I'm not following our contract
That I'm lying to you
That I'm stupid

Turning me from Angel to Devil
Through your idiotic actions
In sabotaging my works
In stifling our progress
In making us wait to no avail
In your procastinations

Treating my Professionalism with Crappy Excuses
Through you and your empty scalp
Giving silly request
Giving unwanted interceptions
Giving baseless reasonings
Giving broken promises

We are not difficult
You are the difficult ones
We are not dumb
You make dumb people look smart
We hope you hate us
Cos we absolutely hate you too

Retaliation

Tonight is the night
My retaliation begins
I am well armoured now
Awaiting their presence
Excitement and Anticipation mixed
Luck is my friend tonight
They will surely come
They will surely perish
The end is near for them
I am happy
For they will die
An unforseen death
An unfortunate faith
I hope more of them will come
the more the merrier
At least for me
To retaliate
To kill
To eliminate

Assaults

I was exhausted and sluggish
It was a long and tiring day
Laying on my bed
Lights off
Drifting into sleep
And they came into my room
Stealthly, timidly but excitedly
Their adrenaline level at its all time high
Abruptly
Their assaults began
The first hit was on my forehead
Followed by the second hit on my left thigh
I felt the pains
But they were too good to be seen
Third hit was on my right shoulder blade
Fourth on my right arm
No matter how hard I tried
I failed to fight back
I layed on my bed
Like a tortured prisoner in the darkness
Waiting for it all to end
To no avail
Their assaults continued
Until I gave in to my unconsciousness

Easy Breezy

Waking up late in the evening
Feeling hot and sweaty

The electricity was off
Walking to the main power point

Turning on again the main switch
Lights and wind followed

Easy breezy
Going back to sleep now

I need my 18-hour sleep
Seriously...

Fiction/Imagination

He woke up...feeling tired and sleepy...last night was another sleepless night
He looked into the mirror...feeling funny and weird...his hair were messy but cute

He cleaned up...feeling the cold shower...uncontolled shivers ran wild on his body
He dressed up...feeling slightly better...at least he looked smart and preppy now

He ate...feeling the cold but tasty pizza...it was from the fridge from last night
He locked his door...feeling secured...starting his walk to work

He sat down...feeling mundane but determined...the datelines have to be met
He ate again...feeling re-energized and chatty...lunch with friends are always fun

He continued...feeling slight soreness of his eyes...now staring into the screen again
He drank...feeling a forced sense of alertness...caffeine is his saviour at work

He done something...feeling contented but bittersweet...still got a lot to do
He went home...feeling tired and lazy...looking even more tired and lazy

He arrived...feeling warm and cosy...abeit the solitary in his home
He cleaned up again...feeling the hot shower...intoxicated in the warm steams

He cooked and ate again...feeling great...the new recipe worked out fine
He drank and read...feeling excited...by the combination of wine and his favorite book right now

He switched off the light...feeling slightly imbalanced in the dark...too much wine while reading
He climbed to bed...feeling exhausted but happy...feeling the warmth of the person beside him

BAd ChiNeSe...

Ok. I'm turning into a bad Chinese. FYI, I'm not being racist but do you know that Chinese pride ourselves in our super-duper-awesomely superior Mathematics skills? We invented the 'Xuan Pan' and we are super-duper-awesomely meticulous when it come to money-matters. For us, there's always a very crystal clear line that separate family, friendship, and whatever-relationship with MONEY! We tend to be very formal, or rather cold and calculative when it comes to money...We try to not owe anybody money, we make damn sure that NOBODY owes us money... Money is like our energeons...

Points of Being Good Chinese

1) I took less than 60 seconds to calculate how much everybody had to pay me for group dinner/lunch or in sharing birthday/wedding gifts. Condition: The receipts must be preserved for the smoothness of my calculation flow and as proof.

2) I always take receipts whenever I get something. Anything without receipt, I won't get it or I would get it somewhere which is able to issue me receipt.

3) I have successfully helped my friends a gazillion times in getting back their money from their IOUs.

4) I was educated by my parents and my Chinese friends that Subtlety and Formality is the best tools to get money when Punctuality failed.

5) I'm a calculative person when I'm getting stuffs i.e. I have to plan my shopping list -> do market survey and pricing comparision -> filter my shopping list through the necessity and frequency of usage scanners that I was born with in my brain (just like any other Chinese) -> and then only I will do my shopping.

6) I keep tab on my daily expenditure. What I eat (since I have a super-massive blackhole in my stomach), What I get, What I share, What I pay for, etc. This is to ensure that I'm will not exceed my daily expenditure.

7) I pride myself for the Absolutely Awesome management of the clarity and structure of my Absolutely Awesome records and memory regarding money.

So having said the above, why am I turning into a bad Chinese?

Point 5 and 6 were broken this week when I went to Alamanda Shopping Mall...

By a pair of Awesome Espirit shirt, on sale with 50% discount. I tried it (was kidding myself that "Feeling the shirt is an essential part of me doing my Market Survey), it felt Awesome on my skin. And most importantly, I looked damn HOT and SEXY with it on me. Hence I bought it there and then...

I think Point 7 was automatically broken too since Point 5 and 6 were broken...

But, it's OK! The shirt was on 50% discount. And I looked damn HOT and SEXY with it on me.
