KK~

Finally, back from KK. And man… That place rocks. Everything is better in Sabah, let alone KK. The roads are better, the place is much more happening, the coconut trees are taller, the sea is actually blue (not grey), the people friendlier (in shops at least), the air fresher, and damn - the girls wayyyyy hotter. And they’re everywhere. Every corner you turn, every spot you look, there’s bound to be at least an attractive female in the picture. Habis Scott bernosebleed.

Needless to say, genetics tell us it is the best place on Borneo. Japan is a different story, of course, but yeah - back to the story.

Kroll, Scott and I left Miri on the 20th and spent the night in Brunei at my place so that we can make the queue in Limbang customs. Then starts our epic journey to the coveted seaside city of happening.

Below are the highlights of our journey:

  1. Scott punya passport expired - Brunei customs bercibai… so we stuck in Limbang for one day
  2. Scott nosebleed
  3. I pening sikit after minum margarita
  4. Hot girls everywhere… ^.^
  5. Kroll kena grind by Indian dude at Shenanigans

Stuck at Limbang~

We stuck kat Limbang… Stayed at Metro…

Road to KK~

Road to KK…

Backpackers Room

Kroll in our room at backpackers~

Choir in the background...

Choir singing in where Kroll calls the ‘cool street’. Here is where all the shops for all the cool branded shops like Quicksilver can be found…

Hmm~

Cool street again - taken from upstairs…

Snow?

Soap ’snow’ on cool street. And ciplak punya Santa on the side. There was this hot santa girl though. She berwave-wave at me. Bangga I.

Horsies~

Omg. Horses being used as Christmas decor… Woobee~ Woobee~ Animal cruelty alert~

Me coffee and Starbucks~

Me sipping tea at Starbucks. Malas I nak hit espresso.

Shenanigans somewhere in the background~

The hotel where Shenanigans, the hottest club in KK, lie. And the big fish is kinda cool too. Miri doesn’t have anything as cool as this.

Pulling an Adam~

Here I am, browsing for a drink/food at CDS… *ahem*

Too bad I neglected to charge my camera batteries, thus the lack of photos… Haih. What to do~

Anyway, after a server down and whatnot for my webhost… I kinda lost the flow of the blogpost already… So yeah. End here. :P

Merry X’mas~

Merry Xmas, fucking lurkers~

A present to all who I know are lurking but trying to be invisible - and also to all who know I know are visiting this blog. Merry X’mas to all~

Just got back from my KK trip, and will post something about it later on, when I’m feeling less tired.

Shoutbox Added!

Due to popular demand, I have added a shoutbox to this blog~

Now let’s see how will people treat this thing…

-edit-

Due to an unexpected streak of boredom, I have also made a new banner image for the blog. Yay! :D

Lega~

Whoosh. Finally after the past two hectic weeks (the most hectic since beginning of this year), we’re finally done with all of our assignments and are free for the holidays. Yay. That’s the good thing. Sucky thing is that everyone else is leaving for their hometowns. Well damn, we just sent Tish off at the airport just now.

Had dinner at Siamese Secrets. Burnt quite a hole in our pockets… But the nachos there were damn good. Too much meat though. o.o

‘neways, after eating (around 9pm already), we drove Tish to the airport and went byebye. Aww. Ada ke sadness~ Scott wah, emo like hell after that. Ada ke mihir.

Hmm… Okay. Now’s my chance to go all nerdy. Need. To. Play. Videogames.

Memalukan Negara

Damn… After berbankai with Scott and Kroll doing reading logs and research essay the night and morning before, I still had to dump and edit my movie with Kroll in the afternoon. And there was this ‘rock concert’ just now at 6pm… Or so they advertised it.

Of course, Malaysia being Malaysia, they did sound test at around 6.40pm or so and the ‘concert’ finally started at 7pm… Actually it was slightly later, but I don’t wanna make a huge fuss. The only stupid thing was that we all paid RM10 each to get into that little area in Boulevard. What to do? Blondie wah, make us go out and report about stupid things like this. And what to do? I’m the photographer for my group.

Talking about my group, let me go off topic for a while. There was damn lots of drama in classes these past few days man. Too damn much drama. My group punya medusa and her kawan were supposed to design the newspaper layout and whatnot, but they keep disappearing. Cibai - we only have one week left. Actually less than one week. It’s nigh impossible to complete without going all-out.

Then the lactating barbarian of our class who never shows up for anything or does anything constructive for my movie production group (or in general) berdrama with her ITJ newspaper group, just because her crappy and nonsensical (trust me - I read it) article about fashion ‘history’ was criticised by her editors. So she goes around yelling and acting overall uncivilised (read: normal for her) at her group, claiming that they never let her do anything or inform her of meeting times and whatnot. Fucking liar.

I know for a fact, being a director and working closely with my producer (man, I’m really glad I got Tulika as my producer), that that supposedly 12 years older female member of the human race is also the least responsible and least willing to cooperate in our group. Furthermore, even in the off-chance that she shows up for meetings and whatnot, she will most certainly disappear 30 minutes to 1 hour later. Without fail.

Personally, I try to empathise with her maternal responsibilities - however, as her behaviour is affecting our group as a whole, it really is bothersome. I’m just glad that I have a group that works efficiently even with a 1-person handicap. And her claims of having ‘health problems’ are highly suspicious in my eyes - for I have caught wind that her last ‘medical leave’ was in fact a tour of Italy or whatnot. Oy! I’m sick of you fucking Ities!

The very worst problem of all is that dear blondie was very biased when handling the matter with the other ITJ group (I’m just glad she wasn’t in my ITJ newspaper group) - blondie only heard one side of the story, the side of the person having her article criticised, and never gave the rest of the group any chance to put forth their stand. In fact, our dear student council member was dismissed when he requested for a second meeting with blondie so that he could put forth the other side of the story. And then, all of a sudden, editors are not allowed to criticise or even give opinions about the articles handed to them - apparently their right only goes as far as to correct grammatical errors.

The more I listen to this, the more I feel that blondie is unfit to be a lecturer. Isn’t it just convenient that rules suddenly pop up just so that she can defend the uncivilised cavewoman? Seriously, blondie is just defending the barbarian just because they’re both fucking immigrants. And I don’t mean to discriminate - in fact, most if not all of the class treated our dear foreign students and lecturers with respect and were very intrigued by people from different culture. This matter was never about race nor country of origin, it’s about the characters of the people involved - and how childish and defensive some people can get.

*sigh* And to think people like us, 18-year-olds who smoke and drink and laugh and play and do our assignments last minute manage to be able to think in a more mature manner then some people who simply believe they are superior and forever right simply because they have this ’status’ that makes them ‘more intelligent, mature or superior in general’, and that ‘immature brats’ like us have no rights - so they try to treat us as if we were high school kids. But that doesn’t work anymore - swim back to your island, you fucking blonde kangaroo.

And do I not fear it if the mentioned people actually come across this? Of course not. I memang suka cari pasal like this wah. If people like to berdrama with me or the people on my side, then they should be prepared because I can start a drama ten times bigger. Come - bring it on. You think I scared ka?

So what put me into such a pissed mood? I’d say it’s probably cause not only did I wasted RM10 to listen to Malaysian Idol for punk/metal/skinhead/poser/fucktard wannabes screaming, whining and overall act retarded on stage just now, some fucking idiot threw eggs from the balcony above the area where we sat. And the second egg hit Kroll. I kena splash damage. Cibai my new jeans terkena stain. I was damn pissed and stormed off. I think I kinda worried my friends cause I really looked like I was gonna go up to the arcades and start a fight or something.

But what to do? If it was like the 70s or 80s memang I take stick and go upstairs to beat people to death already. But what to do? We’re in the 21st century, where people are civilised. And by civilised, I don’t mean that we’re so just because we have mobile phones. So I nicely talked to a senior staff member organising the whole concert thingie and informed him of the fucktards tossing eggs into the crowd. He acted accordingly and summoned security guards to tighten patrols up at the balcony.

Transformed into my hot-headed state, I kept staring into the crowds up at the balcony and hoping to find some fucktards holding eggs or that my staring would actually make them come down and start a fight. Memang those stupid posers have no brains and will definitely attack without thinking. Lucky thing no one came down to attack me. Remember - self defense is legitimate grounds for pleading innocence in murder.

Bleargh. I think it’s the damn sleep deprivation that’s making me cranky. I should go to sleep before I turn green and go rampaging in Senadin.

Wasabi Poisoning

Wasabi... Yucks. x_x

I never did like that shit. Disgusting green paste of vomit-inducing taste, often considered to be a Japanese delicacy or whatnot. And I made sure that everyone knows that I hate it passionately.

So yeah, we were eating at this Korean restaurant near Boulevard… and some way or another, someone bet me (I think Kroll) RM50 that I couldn’t down that plate of wasabi. After a few little tastes of that green revolting substance, I decided to accept, demanding that the money be on the table first. Eventually the whole bet reduced to RM25, then to RM20… for downing five small plates of that green crap.

I don’t know about you people - Tish said it was a stupid thing to accept, but I think it’s a guy thing. The point of no return was when I asked for money on the table. After that, it wasn’t even about the money. RM20 isn’t that much, after all… More or less just enough to settle the bill for that meal. But yeah, so I took off my cap and my watch and downed the first plate.

The first one wasn’t so bad. The second one burned. By the third plate, I was more or less on the verge of puking… My eyes were teary and stuff. But I was already so close - I just had to persevere. Like I said, it’s a guy thing. It’s not about the money anymore by then. It’s ego, and the will to win.

So yeah, downed the last two… And the very next thing I said was “Toilet”. Puked out half my dinner… Came back smiling, collected my prize… after finishing off a last few drops that I missed. Haih.

Of course, that was just the beginning. For the rest of the night my insides burned like it was dipped in acid or something. Crazy ass. Cigs helped a little in distracting the burning, but it was after downing two Teh-C Peng (whoops. someone beradam with me later this…) at Najua that I felt slightly better. Just slightly.

Aaron Mark (there are two Aarons in my class… so yeah) took a video of me pulling that crazy-ass stunt, so maybe I’ll get it from him tomorrow… If I feel like it. Oh, by the way, the people eating tonight were Scott, Kroll, Tish, Mei Vun and Aaron, who invented “I’ve got a hairy back (yeap!)”.

I think I’ve downed enough wasabi to last me a few decades (or at least until someone offers me a higher wager).

Disney is not for kids…

It’s amazing how we manage to go minum even at the height of assignment pressure and act like nothing has happened. And it’s even more amazing how I can come return home and then still sit there and listen to Disney songs like Aladdin’s A Whole New World (ack. terasa someone later… :P) as if there wasn’t any assignments due this week. But while listening to these songs supposedly geared towards younger audience, I have noticed that numerous innuendos were cunningly buried within these innocent words - and they are definitely not suitable for kids.

Let’s take a look at A Whole New World

[Aladdin]
I can show you the world
(…)
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
(Smart pickup line right there)
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
(variety counts)
On a magic carpet ride (I guess that’s what they call it in Agrabah)
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
(yay)
Or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming
(I’d think I was dreaming too…)

[Jasmine]
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
(innocent man, this girl)
But when I’m way up here
It’s crystal clear
That now I’m in a whole new world with you
(she’s ecstatic)
[A] Now I’m in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
(yep, definitely ecstatic)
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling (whoa rough…)
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
[A] Don’t you dare close your eyes
(innocent girl memang malu sikit la)
[J] A hundred thousand things to see
[A] Hold your breath - it gets better
(I’m sure it does)

[Jasmine]
I’m like a shooting star
(ganas also this girl)
I’ve come so far (o…kay…)
I can’t go back to where I used to be

[A] A whole new world
[J] Every turn a surprise
[A] With new horizons to pursue
[J] Every moment red-letter

[Both]
I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
(’till morning)
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That’s where we’ll be
[A] A thrilling chase
[J] A wondrous place
For you and me

Yep. I have just permanently tainted the innocent young minds who watch Aladdin… Makes you wonder if the whole carpet scene was just a cover-up. But wait, there’s more!

Moving on to Beauty and the Beast…

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
(whoa… loose)
Then somebody bends (I wonder who)
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
(poor guy)
Both a little scared (I’d be too)
Neither one prepared (haih. noobs)
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
(ref. Razor Ramon’s Sunrise Sunset)

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
(I guess it must be)
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
(the things they teach in highschool bio…)
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Personally, I do not advocate people getting it on with half-beast men (or women), but yeah, I guess Belle is a little… weird. Ada ke kinks.

Well, I could do more, but I’m bored, and I don’t feel like spoiling any more songs from Disney (for now)… So I’ll just return to listening to A Whole New World… Whee~
