Surprise for LP!

Today was fun. We threw a surprise party for LP which he didn't even suspect a thing! Originally we wanted to throw him a party yesterday but he couldn't come to college because he was sick. Luckily I found out about it before I went and picked up his cake. We postponed it to today but we weren't sure about the time. Alexis went to get the cake while Paul, Charles and Jay stalled LP in AUP for as long as they can. Han Sen was getting the napkins from the shop while JC, Tuan Tynn and I got the room ready. After we got the cake, Alexis went to get LP to the room while the rest of us waited inside. Han Sen and I went to the next room to light up the candles and bring it in when he's inside the room. Surprisingly he didn't suspect us even with all the people in the room until he saw the cake. He was happy and pleased with it all. He even hugged everyone for it ahaha!

After he blew the candles, we let him cut up the cake for all of us and let him serve us. That was bad of us to do but technically to justify ourselves, his birthday isn't until tomorrow so he still has no special privilages yet. Of course, I gave him the present that I got him last monday along with the card signed by everyone. We told him not to open any of it until it is officially his birthday so better keep your promise LP! We also smashed a piece of cake in his face when he didn't want to eat any yet ahahaha!

Before we were going back home, LP treated me and Alexis some Subway for a second round. Alexis paid her own meal and LP paid for mine which I will be paying him back tomorrow. I don't care, you're going to take the mullahs! Anyways, happy birthday in advance LP!

To Study, Or Not To Study?

Now that is a really, really good question. Can you actually study when there are so much distractions around you? I can't seem to do it at most of the time, but when I do get a mood to study, I'll read for hours and hours, forgetting about getting any sleep or food in me. Tips on when you're reading, it's best to do it before you sleep. One time I did this with my history, I actually dreamt that I was living inside the event that I read about before I went to sleep. So yeah, that helped me memorized what happened a lot.

Studying also depends on your mood. If you're in a good mood, you'll most likely not study and just keep doing stuff that you like. If you're bored, you would give in to reading. If you're depressed, you will read like there is no tomorrow. I don't know about you guys, but I can be that way when I'm depressed. Now I really should be studying my american history as my exam is tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Unfortunate Day

An unfortunate day yet again in KL. Only this time, I went to KLCC by myself. Here's what happened last night. I followed my parents and sister to KL as they were going to watch a play at Istana Budaya, so they just dropped me off at KLCC as I had to go and buy my friend's birthday present. Oh boy, you have no idea how much trouble it was to get the gift. First, I didn't bring any cash with me so I thought I'd just withdraw some money from the ATM but, out of all the days my card had to have some error during that time so I couldn't withdraw from any of the ATM machines over in KLCC. Then, I took a cab from KLCC to Istana Budaya to get some money from my sis. Ironically, I went to her to get some money when I spent about RM40 on the cab fare to go there and back to KLCC.

After that fiasco, I went to buy the gift and thankfully, it was on a 20% discount sale so that was a relief. When that was done with, I had to wait for my family to finish with their play. They said it'd finish at 10.30pm, so I thought okay, I'll just wait and read my books at Burger King. I bought some ice cream from there and that costed another RM3. Fine. Then, BK was closing as it was already 10.20pm and still no call or anything from my family. So, I had to change location and move to another place. Then I thought okay, let's wait at DOME since their going to be here soon and it's raining already. To sit at DOME apparently I have to buy something from them and as I didn't eat my dinner yet, I'll just have their apple squash or something which costed almost RM14. Great.

DOME then closed at 11.15pm and still no calls from my family. So then I just sat out in the rain waiting for them, not spending another dime as I'm already broke as it is. Finally at 11.45pm, they picked me up from KLCC. What a long night that was. And I was only planning to buy the gift at KLCC and do nothing else which would have taken only like, 10 minutes at most I think? 

Seriously! Have your family ever ditched you until it reached to that extent before?

Reunion

I hate myself. Yesterday's reunion didn't exactly go as planned. I somehow got myself sick that night with a heavy migraine and a stomach ache. I think i got food poisoning or something. Anyways, the migraine was really bad. I almost fainted during the photo session as there were too many bright lights flashing and too many people around. I ran straight out to the bathroom after the last photo was shot and stayed there for awhile. Because of that, I missed the birthday singing and cutting of the cake by all the March babies.

After that, I spent most of the time just sitting down, trying to calm both my migraine and my stomach ache. I didn't get a chance to mingle much with everyone. A few close friends of mine knew what was wrong so they sat down next to me and talked with me. Thanks guys... Because I was sick, I decided to leave the party early. Even though I really, really wished that I could stay a lot longer, I'd just be a burden to my friends who are taking care of me.

Some funny stuffs did happen though, like it took us 1 hour + to start the bbq fire. We were using this charcoal that was shaped like a Curry Puff. It looked really weird. To start it, we gathered some leaves and sticks we found on the field and burn them below the charcoal. Some of us looked a whole lot different than the last time we met. It was really fun, despite that I got sick. I can't wait for the next gathering next year.

School Days

In a few hours from now I will be attending my old high school Form 5 class 2nd reunion. I'm quite excited and can't wait as we haven't gather like this since last year, though some of them can't make it to the reunion. I remember back in school, how noisy we were, how we annoy some of the other teachers, how our homeroom teacher fought for us, how we threw a party when the classes next door we're having exams, how we helped and supported each other with everything, how we acted like... family.

I miss those days... Back when everything was simple and fun... I sometimes wish that it wouldn't end. But, everything comes to an end at some point. All we can really do is hold on to those memories, or move on with our lives along with the lessons learnt...

Weird Habits

A lot of people have weird habits that they follow through everyday. That goes for me too. I have a tendency to walk around in circles in my living room everyday while listening to my MP3 player. My family thought it was really weird for me to do such a thing last time, but they got used to it eventually. I think. I also have the tendency to talk to myself as if I'm talking to a group of people. Now this was really freaky to my family and to some people out in public as well I guess. That would explain the many people staring at me whenever I do this sort of thing.

Point is, everyone has a weird habit that they have to do to get through the day. It's a good thing to have as it can be an immaculate support for anyone. Don't let what people say about a habit that you do everyday stop you from doing it. Unless of course if that habit is killing people, literally.

Smart Tunnel For Dumb People

The title says it all. Smart tunnel really benefits dumb people like LP and me. Okay rewinding back to yesterday night. we left college at around 7.30pm and then...

LP : I think I should go to KL today to get my books. You wanna go?

Me: Aiyo why you want to go now la. I don't have my ATM card with me today so I can't buy anything since I only got RM30 left...

LP : Oh okay then.

Me: Ahh WTH. Let's go to KL again. I'll just use JC's method of reading books over there.

LP : Har??

And the conversation went on with us crapping a lot until we reached KL. Before we went to KLCC, we made a quick stop at Low Yat because LP was hunting for some computer parts for something. Curse him! I really got tempted a lot by the notebooks on sale over there. But since I'm broke, no notebooks for me. We went to this store which I completely missed the name of it to get his stuff. While we were browsing around, there was a mouse running around inside the store. The staff eventually caught the mouse on a mouse. Now there's something you don't hear everyday. Anyway, after he got his stuff, I got myself a pair of cheap speakers which LP then said...

LP : Why do you need speakers when you already have the earphones?

Me: Because I don't wanna go deaf. I use the earphones every single minute.

LP : Oh okay. So how much are the speakers worth?

Me: RM14.

LP : Oh so it's 3 months then.

Me: What!

When we were in the parking lot, after he just finished paying the ticket and we got into the car...

LP : Okay, next stop. KLCC.

Me: Okay. Yay books~

LP : On my IPod music for me please. Just attached that and open the IPod.

Me: Okay. Done. Eh no sound also. Oh okay the wire.

LP : Uh-oh, where did I put the parking ticket just now? Shit.

Me: Har?! You lost it already?!

LP : 2 minutes driving in the car and already I lost the ticket.

Me: Memang Terra.

LP : I give you permission to rummage through my wallet see if I put it in there.

Me: Nope not in here. Your pockets?

LP : Only change. Oh shit. Check around.

5 Minutes later...

Me: Hmm no where to be found.

LP : Okay found it.

Me: Har! Where was it?

LP : In the pocket of my shirt.

Me: . . .

After we left Low Yat, we went for KLCC to look at the books. And then...

LP : You know what? Before I go to US, I'm gonna go watch the F1 race at Sepang.

Me: F1 race at Sepang?

LP : Yeah. I always wanted to go watch it. This year I'm going to get the tickets.

Me: Why didn't you tell me last year. My sister always get free tickets to that race.

LP : Your sister works in Petronas?!

Me: Yeeeeaaaah. She usually gives the tickets to my brother but it's mostly cause I never ask it from her.

LP : . . .

After that we divide and conquered the store to look at our own stuffs. While he was looking for his stuff, I was looking for the birthday present for my friend. I finally found the perfect gift, but I forgot that my ATM card was with my mom at that time so I had no money to buy it. Man, this means I have to go to KL again and soon, as my friend's birthday is very soon. LP was crying when he couldn't get to buy some of the magazines as he went slightly over budget on his other books. The store was about to close at the time we were leaving, so just in time I guess. When we left KLCC...

LP : Okay, which exit do we take. What's on the right and on the left?

Me: Left is JLN Ampang and JLN Tun Razak. Right is JLN Tun Razak (Selatan).

LP : Ah either way is the same. Let's go left.

When we got out of the exit and made a few turns...

LP : Where are we again? I don't remember this road the last time we came here.

Me: I have no idea. I don't remember this road either.

LP : Should we continue on the unknown path or turn back to KLCC. Counting the loss of fuel and time if the unknown path was wrong... Ahh let's just go back to KLCC. Safest choice.

Me: Yeah I agree.

We got back to square 1. And then...

LP : Okay, let's go this way...

Me: Umm LP, the sign board...

LP : Oh shit!

Me: Yeaaah.

LP : Oh shit oh shit oh shit! Oh okay, the road joined back again. Okay now we're on the right road. Okay next time we go remember to take JLN Tun Razak (Selatan)! JLN Tun Razak (Selatan)!

Me: Eyup.

After that...

LP : Where's the smart tunnel? Is that the smart tunnel? No entry...

Me: Umm I think...

LP : Hmm what la this thing don't even have a sign board as to what tunnel it is.

Me: Err the sign board is over there on top of it.

LP : Yeah now I see it. Okay. Smart tunnel really for dumb people like us who are idiots with directions.

Me: Eyup.

When we got out the smart tunnel, everything went smoothly as we know where to go already. After that he sent me home and that was the end of another KL trip with the notorious LP. Conclusion, smart tunnel is really good for dumb people like us who don't know the road in KL and actually got ourselves lost in the process of finding the right road. Do you guys get this much trouble when you go to KL?
