When I first began to write my blog, I promised myself to never EVER use my blog as a medium to transfer baseless information (ie GOSSIP). It maybe convieniet to just say that so-and-so langgar me today without saying sorry or another so-and-so forget to pay me back the money she borrowed last week (maybe I should do that). But just considered about this. What if you are the one that kena gossip inside this or whoever blogs? The embarassement! Can you imagine that. With just a few punches of keys on my keyboard and TA-DAA!! …there goes your status and reputation (OK I melebih a bit.. HAHA). Luckily my blog is not that famous, if not these two people gonna kena.

BIG TIME!!!

1st victim

My Management Tutor

Why her??

Erm.. where do I start??? Haha… Well what about her inability to teach??? Hello??? How do you conduct a class, Missy?? Ever had of maktab perguruan of anykind?? Yeah… go there!

<Typical Management Tutorial conducted by her>

I have no idea on how she come in and addresses the class cuz I always late for her class (for obvious reason). Whenever I come in, she will be checking our homework and mumbling somethin under her breath. As usual, I come in late, sweating (hello? 8 floors ok… erm plus M floor… that’s 9 floors), holding a lot of books and a bottle, and with my bag half dropping …but still I say sorry to her (thanks Jacy and MAY for the reminder) for my lateness to attend her so-called class. Instead of offering a sweet smile (What smile? You mean she can smile????) and accept my apology, she did the "next-best thing".

Me: (In an innocent and convincing look) Sorry Miss, the lift break down and I have to climb the stairs all the way to here. *PUFF PUFF* (Wiping sweat)

She: (Zoom past me without even looking at my FACE) This is the last warning! No more next time. (As usual in her monotone stern boring voice)

Yea and in case you still wondering what the "next-best thing" is?? Duh! To memalukan me in front of the class!

As usual after checking for homework (so high scholl) she will proceed in front of the class and do her statue pose there. And yea don’t get me started on her most overused phrase! After reading each question she will actually speak this question to us.

"How bout others?"

*No answer*

"How bout others?"

*No answer*

"C’mon how bout others?"

*still no answer*

Duh! DAMN it! I mean I don’t care about "the others" or did they actually did their homework or not! Nor do I care about your relentless talk about not being shy in class!! And you think I give a DAMN about the DAMN participation marks?? For your kind information that will be a stern NO!! NO!!! and NO!!!! I answer your DAMN question because I can’t tahan with you and your anthics. I mean what are you turning the study environment into?? Some kind of quiz on TV show where contestant have to be forced to raised their DAMN hands just to speak out??? Where’s the sense in that??? I can’t imagine what our class is turning into…. I mean isn’t she suppose to teach?? Isn’t teaching is what she suppose to do?

2nd Victim

Information System Tutor and Lecturer

Now this one is the complete opposite of the 1st victim. She is this kind, always smilling, sweet and joyful lecturer.

Why I complain about her??

Well first of all, I wonder if she actually understand what she is lecturing. During lecture time she will just read to us the lecture notes and add a little bullshits at the end of each sentence. Like today I actually believe she reading the lecture notes for the first time! (during lecture time). She will goes like this…. "Erm… database approach *muttering under her breath* is a …. *mutter some more* …collection of data *mutter some more and smile*… stored in…. *smile* and in the end she will read the whole DAMN thing over again.

There’s this one time when I approach her to ask her about a tutorial question.

Me: Miss what is the answer for this question? I didn’t catch the answer just now.

She: Erm.. (read and read and read)

Me: Answer is C rite??

She: Yea. The answer is C.

Me: But I think the answer YOU given me just now is B.

She: I give B ar?? Wait let me check. (Take her answer sheet out and flipped thru frantically) ….Yea the answer is B. Yea… definitely B. C is wrong.

-_-"

What the hell??

I mean can she even teach without her answer sheet or lecture notes?? I bet she can’t even survive. Good lecturer can just come in without anything and still conduct a perfectly brilliant class! That’s what I call BERKUALITI!

And one more annoying thing about her. The way she pronounced the word

                                                       DATA

Its pronounced as "dae-ta" rite? Guess what she pronounced??? "DA-TA" with the hard "DA". Is this a Bahasa Melayu class?? Siap dengan bahasa baku summore! HEBAT! I dunno what’s the deal with me but everytime she said "DA-TA" it actually stings my ears!! So so pain.

For those of you that know me from the beginning you may wonder what happened to the nice and good-nature ME. (OMG slamming lecturer!! this guy ah). But I just can’t tahan anymore!!! Don’t worry guys this blog entry will not lasts long. As soon as they change their attitude, I will remove this entry altogether.

Hmmm… I wonder when is that gonna happened…..

It never occur to me the fact that I’m a goody-two shoes. I mean… you can’t possibly evaluate yourself right?? You need feedback and comments from the people around you (external environment) to get a rough idea on who you are. So based on the research (ahem.. what research?) that I had conducted, I can conclude that I am a

                  <booming voice> goody-two shoes!!! </booming voice>.

So just to prove your perception of myself is wrong (and I mean very wrong), I decided to hang out with my other bunch of friends instead. Haha… (Actually just hanging out with them for the 1st time!) So when Sam asked me if I wanted to join him (ahem… and his gang) to go and catch a movie at night (and some other activities I assumed), I totally jump into the bandwagon and agree!! Haha… I mean this is a great chance for me to prove to you all that I’m not anyone of the below:

1. Kiddie
2. Kiddie
3. Kiddie

Haha… So we, I mean they all decided to go and see BLACK NIGHT; a supposely very scary movie (based on the TV ad). The venue will be at Mid Valley and the movie will start at around 12am. Haha… As usual I will be going with Sam and the rest will go by their own. During the whole journey there, Sam stepped on the pedal to accelerate through the silent black night (pardon the pun) outside. By the time we reach there, the whole gang had already berkumpul and bowl their way in the bowling center. What a great place to hang! Bowling center. Haha… I just couldn’t imagine that 2 years ago, I was this fat dorky guy. Now look at me! I hanging out at bowling center! Haha…

After the lil’ hang out at bowling center we move along to get ourselves the tix for the movie. We managed to get the tix for 12.15am. As usual the movie is rated 18SG. And as usual, one of the guy will start screaming and asking if everyone of us is actually 18 years and above. And as usual, the joke will falls on me! And as usual I wil explain to them that I’m 19, healthy and still breathing!

So typical!

Of all the scary movies that I had seen these past fews years, nothing compared to this one when it comes to the amount of false scare and cheap tricks! I mean, get a life! Come out with new tricks OK? Copy here and copy there. I mean.. ever heard of ORIGINALITY?? Overall the movie sucks. Not worth my RM10. One piece of advice… Don’t go and watch!! Well, that’s just my opinion, if you guys insists on wasting your hard-earned money yawning away in cinema, then just go ahead. Haha…

After the movie finished, of course there are other activities that follows.

•            The bowling = Pre-show
•            The show     = Main show
•             Mamak lepaking = After-show (Post show)

So mamak lepaking is next. Haha… When we had agreed on the place to mamaking (I should coined this term), we sped our cars through the night. I feel sooo free and emancipated! Haha… Suddenly I feel very excited! All the combinition of late night, loud music (Sam’s stereo), and cold wind make me feel so light and heavenly!! Haha… No, I’m not on high of estassay(see I could not even get the spelling right) or anything. I’m just feeling liberated. When I turn the volume up, when I scrool down the mirror and when I put my hands out to feel the colds wind beating against it, I feel so… HAPPY!! Haha… Setting yourself free is fun!! Haha..

The rest of the night is a blur. We ended up at OUG mamak store, one of Calvin’s friends fall asleep in his own lap, one gal sakit perut, and suddenly after just two replay of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Cars, we ended up back to Sg. Long. 

That’s not all.

Sam suggest we should at least watch the match between Poland and Germany (if I’m not mistaken… I’m very blur at that time) to find out the score. We agreed reluctanly and got drag into a mamak store by him. By the time 90 minutes past, we all thought it gonna be a nil-nil score. But outta nowhere Germany score and they won the match. The greatest feeling of all is when we all shouted the same word as soon as the ball entered the goal. Yea… we shouted GOAL!!! (I mean what else??)

When I reached home with Sam, I reflected on the activities I done today. Well, it’s gonna be another nice blog entry I guess. Haha… But my smile fades when I saw the time on my watch.

                                                   5.27am

Dunno how am I suppose to wake up tomorrow. Haih… Come to think of it, coming late to class will make an interesting blog entry also! Haha… (At this point my sanity is really outta the window).

I falls on my matress and realized that I had make full use of this one day of my LIFE. 

I just realized that I’ve been living in Kuala Lumpur for my whole entire life. The longest I had been away from my home is when I served for my National Service stint (2 months to be exact). Come to think of it, it wasn’t that long after all. I mean, its only 2 months right? Like the old people gonna say, "It’s just like a blink of an eye!" But to me, it’s like forever! I mean I have gotten sooo used to the life in KL (carefree, Astro, Mid Valley, friends, MTV) that I can’t possibly get comfortable elsewhere! KL is where I’m born, where I live, and where I gonna spend the rest of my life at! Haha…

<Back to reality>

I’m stuck in Sg. Long (I don’t regard Sg. Long as part of KL… Haha… I mean, which part of it looks like KL?) with nothing but a heart full of semangat KL-ism.

<Back to the real reality>

There’s no shopping centers in Sg. Long (What!?), not a single damn cinema around (kill me instead), and horrors of all horrors…. NO McDonald’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (enter your choice of fav obscene language here). How can I possibly survived???!!

I wonder too….

Well, you can guess how elated I am when I got the chance to went back to PJ / KL to collect my results the other day! I was like… smillin’! Haha…. Anyway, so a few of us (12 to be exact) took 3 taxis and began our journey back to civilization! Along the way the taxi driver uncle talk a lot. I mean A LOT! Anyway I’m too happy to bother bout him. So my friends layan him instead.

(To protect the identity of my friends from the vicious taxi driver uncle, all their names will be ommiteed.)

Taxi uncle:   Next time you all wanna go anywhere ah, make sure its after          9.30 if not ah very jam one. Haiyo! You see! If jam ah the meter keep on goin and goin!

DUH! Isn’t that what you want?

Friend A: Yalah yalah. But today we got classes, so have to go earlier. (chuckle)

Taxi uncle: Oh like that. So you all go go back for what?

Is that your business at all???

Friend A: To take our results.

Taxi uncle: Results ar? Go so far and take ar? Haiyo.. so ma fan la.. manyak susah la… (Dry chuckle)

That’s it! I’m puttin my iPod on!

So after about 45 minutes (very long), we arrived at PJ campus of UTAR. After gathering our results and other shits we( friend A, friend B, friend C) decided to go down KL (YEAH!!) to take the stupid damn No. 22 bus back to Sg. Long! We decided to stop by Petaling Street for lunch. Friend B said there’s a very nice bubur store nearby. So we decided to try it out! But due to some complications (sesat jalan la) we end up at a chee cheung fan store. The food is very nice. While I was eating, I suddenly heard a loud shriek from the next table. It turns out that the auntie seated at the next table just come in contact with some rodents (tikus!!!). Her face was locked in a grimace expression. She can’t move and seems to paralyzed from head to toe. Moments later, she screamed "Lo Shi ah!! (Cantonese for tikus). We quickly look down at our feets and check for signs of scurrying rodents. Nothing, we saw. Haha… But a nice comedy during lunch wouldn’t hurt anyone right? Haha…

While I was looking for the rat or whatever, I happen to caught a glimpse of our surroundings. It was dead filthy! Dirty water accumulated near the dripping pipes, stray cats lazing around, fungus or whatever stuff can be seen at the edge of the table, and many other unmentionables! How can one possibly eat at this kind of environment?? At that time Friend C caught my eyes. Being a friend of me for more than 4 years, he seems to understand what I’m trying to convey through my expression.

"Ei at KL ah. The dirtier the place the nicer the food!!"

I look at him in search of other answers. But his words finally founds its way into me. It’s so totally true! This is what unique about KL. The people, the culture and the environments. They all reflected the true semangat KL-ism!! Long live KL!! Haha…

The next time i go down KL I will be on the look out for my friend’s bubur store. Haha.. its easy to find! Just search for the dirties and filthiest store around!! There you have it!! Your nice hot bubur! (One word of advice, just keep your sight on the bubur will be enough!!) Haha…. 

What a great marketing ploy!

Release a movie about the son of Satan on the 6th of June 2006 (06/06/06). In the New Testament Bible, the 6th of June is considered a day where bad stuff is gonna happened (hurricane, earthquake and stuff). Please correct me if I get the information wrong or mixed up (I’m not a Christian. I read all these in newspapers). But for the producers of "THE OMEN", the 6th of June is the day where the greens come rolling in. BIG time! haha…

So is today really as bad as it predicted to be??

Well, first of all, when I woke up today, I had this kinda blur feelings in my head (Haha… who doesn’t?). But the "blurness" is kinda different from the usual "blurness" that people experience (ahem… Sam). The cause of my blurness is not because I don’t enough sleep or stuff (ahem… Sam). But it’s associated with being… y’know… being blur. Dunno-what-to-do-next-blur! Or what-am-I-doing-here-blur! Finally after sitting on my matress for bout 20 minutes, I finally figure out what to do next.

BRUSH MY TEETH!

Haha…

So after brushing my teeth and prepare everthing (and mind you, I don’t have to figure out what to do next after the brushing teeth part. My blurness kinda fade away after that. Haha…), we all wait for Sam to fetch us all to school. Haha…

After having our lunch at the nearest (it’s not that near) Nasi Ayam store, we make our way to school. Above us, the clouds are showing their other faces. From bright and blue a minute ago, now it had turned to a shade of grumpiness and grey. Now it looks like something really bad about to happened. Y’know.. like those disaster movie where the dark clouds come rolling in and the birds are all migrating to other places. Well, the condition are kinda same minus the birds. You don’t get to see many birds here in the afternoon and morning, but at night time, all the crows are out and about.. IN FULL SWING! (OK they just returning to their nests. But why??? why??!!! do they make those loud noises???!!!)

OK my point is , for you people out there, becareful when you go out today (I’m not being supersitious or anything) , and watch out for some sky changes and birds migratory! Haha… And yea.. for those of you living in Sg Long, you have to watch out for other stuff also. (FALLIN’ STUFF) when you walkin along the shops in the night! Haha…

GOOD LUCK for y’all!!
