the word

i hate reading academic essays.

they take the fun out of reading.

bombastic words are used right, left and center. one sentence can be read a gazillion times and you still don't know what they're talking about. the dictionary becomes your bedside friend, the best friend you never knew you had.

microsoft word has the thesaurus function which is god sent i tell you.

word count. i heart you so when i've almost reached the required word count. the wonders of technology. i would die if i had to use the typewriter and manually count 2500 words +___+

***

omfg. please focus. you have a 25oo word essay due next week! does the word contem.fic. and andrew not scare you!? *slaps self repeatedly*

ok. bye bye. wish me luck wtf.

menu a la carte

every restaurant needs to have a M-E-N-U!

or else how to order? and know how much the dish is?

it's a basic human right ok wtf. i need to know what you serve and how much i'm bloody paying!

2 makan place comes to mind when i'm typing this. if you know me, then you'll know la. i'm not gonna type it here. i must remain anonymous and mysterious wtf.

but c'mon laa. wasn't there a big hoohaa when mamaks didn't display their price on the menu or something? or was it because they simply naik harga on the drinks and roti's? can't remember the specifics but i remember the hoohaa.

so, same thing lor. get a menu please. as though customers know what you serve. yes la, you can cook anything the customers order but customers wouldn't know until you tell them. so list it out on you menu laa. and if ask apa sedap, got the cheek to say "everything also nice. if not nice, won't serve" wtf.

and then they will list the whole bloody menu out verbally in like 5 seconds wtf.

you think this is bullet train meh? brain processor ok not intel wtf. takes time to process the message. linear model wtf. sender ---> message ---> receiver (education put to good use wtf)

and then you'll just start panicking cause the dude is standing there waiting for you to order so you'll just order the first thing that comes out from his mouth when you ask the dude to repeat.

or they'll ask what you want. pasta, chicken, fish, rice, nasi lemak and the list goes on.

dude, how to think what i want if you're standing there spewing food names like a bullet train?

is it VERY MAHAL to produce menus? c'mon man. if you can afford to buy plastic tables and chairs instead of renting a proper shop lot and extending your business by buying or renting over the shoplots next door instead of sitting at road sides, i'm sure you can produce a menu. print on paper and bind it laa wtf. we students do it all the time for assignments ok wtf. tak ada profit langsung. only grades wtf.

but the damn thing is right, business damn good lor. so i guess having no menu works for you.

but still, i don't like lor. i don't know how much the food is. simply tambah here tambah there. for all i know, you could have added in an extra few cents or ringgit to make it easier. and we just willingly pay the price.

why laa nobody complain about them not having a menu and displaying their prices?

but then again, it's a known fact their prices aren't cheap anyways. still....

just get a bloody menu. makes life so much easier...for me anyways.

this is just RIDICULOUS!!!

Lavigne 'too sexy' for Malaysia gig

15 hours ago

Malaysia has cancelled a concert by Canadian rock singer Avril Lavigne after the Islamic opposition slammed the show as being "too sexy".

The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry said it was unsuitable for Malaysian culture and could not be held on August 29, two days ahead of the country's independence day.

The government's decision comes after the youth wing of a fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, called for the show's to be scrapped.

Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party youth official, said that Lavigne's show was "considered too sexy for us" and would promote the wrong values on the eve of Malaysia's independence day.

excuse me while i go BULLSHIT!

my wednesday routine today

woke up early this morning (8am) to try and finish reading Beloved.

read a few pages. eyes got heavier. pillow became softer. blanket kept me warm and snuggly. and my bedside lamp became SUPER GLARING i had to wear sunglasses to keep the glare away, yo.

then i fell asleep.

screw Beloved la. finish it tonight. let andrew spoil it for me. i dont care anymore.

i woke up reluctantly at 9am.

came home from class in the afternoon. read the paper (felt damn bangga for LCW got to meet the PM and show off his Silver Medal and get RM300,000. i also want!)

ate kinder bueno yumyum. drank water. slept till 6pm.

then got lovely visit from jman! who brought eggtarts fresh from ipoh yumyum.

ate dinner in the rain. drizzling made me eat so fast didn't get to enjoy pffft. now damn bloated lorr. stoopid. i want it to rain HEAVILY now so that i didn't stuff myself so fast for nothing. RAIN RAIN NOW!

i'm now happily surfing the net doing mindless things. i should continue reading Beloved.

the book is rather confusing. ahh, to read a postmodern text!

there's this one chapter where it makes NO SENSE at all super confusing like who is she talking about and then got no punctuations just a space so right it's like reading everything in ONE BIG BREATH crazy shyte
(imagine that sentence i just did, no punctuations right? x 5 pages)

but really sad too. go read it if you dare.

this is like a diary entry. not so much a blog post, huh. I'M CHALLENGING THE SYSTEM WTF
RAH RAH!

sportsmanship

i'm never one for sports.

like i avoided PJK like the plague. i never wanted to play anything at all. i ran away from the balls instead of catching 'em. go ahead and laugh.

but this year's Olympics got me excited.

i actually wanted to watch the badminton finals.
and
I HAVE NEVER WATCHED A SINGLE BADMINTON MATCH IN MY LIFE!

you can practically see the nation's hopes on him. stress man!

watching the Olympics this year makes me wanna grab a racket, ball whatever and just hit,smash,kick whatever. or run. or swim.

makes me wanna master a sport actually.

you know what the Olympics should turn into an event? essay writing. that is one serious sport. no sleep. constant caffeine fix. can make you go crazy wtf.

i've been reading the sports section of the newspaper too 0_o
which is so unlike me.
the Olympics is really getting to me.

gymnastics. diving. athletics. weightlifting. badminton. table tennis. swimming.

i find weightlifting very scary though yet fun to watch wtf. i'm so scared they'll fall on the weightlifters and then crush them or something +__+

the life

two down.

one to go.

the story of my life.

pfft :/

of mindlessness

it's a wednesday night.

i'm facebooking, blog hopping, gossip reading, listening to the endless stream of music flowing from my iTunes, contemplating whether i should have a piece of chocolate (at this hour!) among many other mindless things.

i know i should be doing something more productive. something intellectual perhaps?

i have this nagging feeling that i'm supposed to be rushing something. the number 15 pops up periodically and yet, i have no idea what that number signifies.

*thinks thinks thinks*

nope. still clueless.

so while i'm thinking, let me tell you something about this lady marguerite duras.

i don't like reading her books. period.

so the confusing it's like sitting the merry-go-round a gazillion times. and so the depressing. and just so mixed up.

indeed you are a marvelous woman, doing the things you did and going through such rough periods in life.

but six feet under you are.

ohh... six feet under. that rings a bell *ding ding wtf*

*thinks thinks thinks*

nope. can't seem to place my finger on it. sounds very important though.

moving on.

i can't count. period.
i hate maths. period.

went to this brain development center (not for me, my brain gonna combust thanks to contemporary fiction) and this guy posed a math problem.

there are 14 animals.
there are chickens and rabbits.
there are 40 legs.
how many chickens and how many rabbits?

my head was literally throbbing. never have i seen a math question after my mufy days.

feels damn great to be an arts student now HAHA.

OMG NOW I REMEMBER!

I HAVE 2 ASSIGNMENTS DUE ON THE 15th.

au revoir.

bangkok post in its finality finally

did he believe us?

so after declaring loudly that one of us was going to be staying at a friends place, he began to get busy with the paperwork and click clicking on the computer.

so we waited. and waited. and waited.

and then he declares

"i have upgraded your rooms to a suite"

O___O

"but if i catch three of you in the room, i will charge you double"

+___+

"have a pleasant stay *flashes smile wtf*

***

when we got into the room, we were like 'WHOAAA'

we had a living and dining room. with a walk in wardrobe the size of a public toilet cubicle and a huge ass bathroom. basically, we had a BIG room for 3 girls.

damn good deal.

rights. i'm getting lazy to type so i'll let the photos do the talking.

view from our room

the uncle who sold us skewered chicken&pork. he's holding an egg which will make us strong. he kept showing us his muscle while holding the chicken. but anyways, he damn layan. posed whenever the camera was directed at him. must be thinking we damn jakun, never see hawker food seller before wtf. and he was damn nice. buy 10 free 1 and he added in 3 of the eggs that will make us strong!


Platinum Fashion Mall is every female's dream destination in Bangkok. must visit ok! i rate this 11 stars wtf. your money will surely be well spent here.

satisfied after shopping!

then we headed to the shopping centers! this is us in front of Central World. it's just like your regular shopping mall. most of the brands here can be found back home. anyways, when going to Bangkok, you dont buy stuff you can get back home. you buy cheap stuff!


then we headed to Paragon, where we had Tony Roma's Pork Ribs *yumyum* faster guess how much? it was less than 250 baht. TONY ROMA'S PORK RIBS you cannot get at that price! there was a promotion going on i think, hence the very affordable pricing. the beef ribs back here is already like rm50++ so imagine our joy when we saw the price for pork ribs. i think the fact that it was pork ribs was enough to tempt us to eat it anyways. if it wasn't pork ribs it would have been mcdonald's pork burger. see the pattern? we were in a pork indulgence.

after dinner, waiting for a taxi!

then at night this is what we came home to.

ok fine, not exactly. we had to buy this before 12am because in Thailand, they dont sell alcohol after 12am.

drink we did.

and again, drink we did. shots!

then, partied we did.

the next day it was off to chatuchak, the biggest weekend market! must come here at least once when in bangkok. the enormity of the market amazes me. can get lost i'm not kidding. and the rule is to buy what you see. dont even think of thinking about it and then going back to the shop to get it. cause, that's not gonna be possible.

believe me when i say we hunted high and low for them coconuts! unfortunately they weren't chilled cold. room temperature pfft. the weather was damn hot! but nevermind, got to satisfy my coconut craving. going to Thailand, one cannot miss out on their coconuts and orange tangerine whatever you want to call it. those 2 drinks MUST drink when in Thailand especially in hot weather like Thailand.

after chatuchak, we headed to Emporium. i think we spent about an hour in the shoe department i kid you not. we took forever in deciding if we wanted to buy the shoes or not. the salesperson must have wanted to strangle us +__+ but alas, we all bought the shoe! no need to strangle after all since got business albeit it took forever to come to that decision wtf. then after getting our shoes, we went to get ourselves a massage! when in Thailand, the massage cannot miss! be it a foot massage or full body massage. very worth it especially after a long day of shopping =D the photo shows them preparing for our massage


at night, we headed off to suan lum night market. another great place to visit. you can find all kinds of kitschy stuff here. there was this shop that had one of a kind shoes, but unfortunately, they're made to order so we couldn't buy 'em. after suan lum, we planned to head back to the hotel but halfway, we decided to go visit patpong, another night market but not just any night market. this night market offers you the chance of watching a 'ping-pong show'. and boy are the pimps aggressive. they practically stalk you. we were curious as to what it was about so we asked one of them pimps and the next thing we know when we walked away, she (yes, a she pimp wtf) stalked us. we got damn scared and quickly hopped into the above pictured tuk-tuk.

we went back into the comforts of our hotel room. but of course, not before stopping by 7eleven. seriously, there were 3 7elevens right in front of our hotel! as you can see from the photo above, there are 2 cans of heineken, 2 bottles of smirnoff red, 3 cocktails, 1 lychee something *i forgot the name* and a bottle of black smirnoff. OMG ALL THAT FOR 3 GIRLS!!!
at the end of the day, we downed a can of heineken and one of them alcopops. we alternated between the 2 and omg the combination will leave you high. guaranteed wtf.

so there you go.

that concludes my bangkok post.

i had tonnes of fun in bangkok with the 2 monkeys. the long nights of chit-chat, bonding over shopping and drinks, and the very carerful language we used makes for one heck of a memory!

we had so much fun, we're thinking of making this an annual trip!

ps: you know what my theory is regarding our hotel room? i think he knew we were lying and that was why he upgraded us. or maybe it's because it was 3 of us girls. smitten with us wtf. whatever the reason, bless his soul. he made our stay in bangkok all the more memorable! superior suite for 3 girls. i feel like i was in an episode of sex and the city wtf. the shoes, the shopping, the drinking, the city of Bangkok, the chitchats minus the sex. or not. HA HA *wiggles eyebrow*
