Just got this idea to write a lil small bit about Malaysia whenever i blog this month. Just something small as our 49th Independence Day is around the corner.
Don't know why the sudden urge to be patriotic. Just sentimental i guess, i remember how we were forced, each year, for the whole month of August to sing and do things patriotic in school. I hated it sooo much.
But now... 3rd year after graduating, i willingly feel patriotic? Hahahaha, i saw flagpoles in universtity and wondered why they don't have any optional Negaraku singing or whatever every Monday or so...
Haha, if its optional, i'm sure the hall would be empty.
Even i won't promise my attendance. But once in a while, like now, once in three years, i wanna stand up straight n sing the song la...
Haha. Another celebration lies at the end of the month for me as well =)

Malaysians are not so bad
20% off True Singapore Ghost Stories iif u are a member of Popolar bookstore. Damn, i don't have the card, damn the thin book costs RM16, damn it costs RM5 to apply for the Popular card.
So i did what i always do, hehehe.
I find a target, a girl who was at the cashier with her book, the card on top of her book. Hehehe, thicken my skin, smiled and asked "You have the Popular card ar? Can i borrow it and i'll pay u 1 dollar or something". Since the discount for my book would add up to RM3.20.
She said she'll pay together, then i'll pay her back. So i did. And when i wanted to pay her extra, she wouldn't let me. Not even twenty cents!! She chased me n returned it!
I was like, no need lar i borrow your card... n she was like never mind, i use it (the Popular discount card) so much.
See, Malaysians are not so bad what!
Thanked her more than once and read half the book the same day i bought it! Hahahaha.

Vegetarian No More
Yeah yeah yeah, u dunno how happy i am!
Chickens, u shall die for me! Hahahahahahaha.
1901 Soakin Ted (it's just the hotdog, no bun), chicken not beef for a light lunch yesterday before Fitness First. After Bodypump and killing myself further burning 460 calories in 1 hr, ten mins + many breaks, i had my McDonalds Spicy Fried Chicken. Hmmmmm, so happy!
Went to pasar malam with besfriend after ages of not going. Felt like eating everything but too bad i was still full from the McD... damn it... the Uncle Bob's fried chicken looks, smells so good...
Microwaved more chicken hotdogs for supper! Wahahahaha.
Chicken drummets for an early lunch today. Planning to eat chicken rice later...
Oh, i love chicken! =) =) Hahaha.

New Experience
Study partner, L 'ajak'ed me to double date: steamboat dinner in Manjalara. She asked almost 4 weeks ago! Hahhaha, a week before the semester started and even before i started work!
We only recently got down to it and it was good! After eating, L and i were playing with the leftover food and the 'sisa-sisa makanan' such as egg shells. The boyfriends were rolling their eggs at us! Hahahaha
Before the dinner, E and i had about 6 hours to kill after classes. L asked us to tag along for this Talent Fashion Outbreak thing by Kolej Bandar Utama (KBU)'s Modeling Club. So we went. What we were expecting was totally different from what was.
In short they were hard selling their event to us: coaxing us to participate in three sub-events, to commit. And the thing is we would only had a week to prepare! Yikes no!
But since we went all the way there, the coordinator/advisor, Ron said that they'd just show us what they are about aka join their club for a day. It was more like a dance club, sort of like the movie Take the Lead.
What really fascinated me was one dance, there is no specific name for it... i'll just call it the flower dance. The dancer rests a flower on each of his/her palm, facing upwards, fingers outstretched. So the flower just sits on the hand instead of holding it.
Its really slow dance... the music is those... er... spiritual chanting kind of dunno what song! Hahaha. And the dance is... ahh, i can't describe! The dance is of slow flowing movements, focusing on wrist movements... its very free.
L passed me a flower and asked me to try. Its wonderful! A bit the self conscious at first, but after being taught the basics and after being told to just combine anything, it became just the music n the flowers! Just kinda move with it, i know i'm not great but it feels wonderful!
Also watched the very talented assistant coordinator/advisor, Christina talk about the art of geisha! She could really do and explain all things geisha: the tea ceremony, the way geisha enter the room, the Kabuki...!
Re: Vegetarian
I imposed this rule upon myself: if i missed one day, i'd have to replace two days. So Saturday was half day vegetarian, so i had to replace a day. And Sunday i wasnt vegetarian, so i'll have to replace 2 days.
So my vegetarian sentence was dragged on till Wednesday. And on Wednesday i didnt wanna go vegetarian cuz of the steamboat dinner. So thats means i'll have to be vegetarian onThursday and Friday.
So basically my one week of vegetarian became two weeks. If i'm not careful, i'll become vegetarian for life, forever in debt. Hopefully today'll be my last day. I can do it!
Employment
Since my contract ended and wasn't extended by the Green n Black company... i've had two offers. I rejected the promoter one by J n J though it pays RM16 an hour due to the time: 5-10pm and the undetermined locations. The other one, Eperiperi rejected L and i!! Sheeeesh! This one pays even better: basic pay of RM12-16 an hour plus commission! Wasted
I hope 2 people back out and they'd call us tomorrow.
Received an unrelated, surprising call from a private number today, asking me to go for a briefing on Saturday. The girl didn't tell me what it was about so i can't assume much. She did tell me what event it was for and i'm excited! We'll just have to go and see.

Fitness
After hearing D went for like 5 classes at the gym she's on trial in, i wanted to do that too.
Not possible. In the beginning of my second class today, somewhere in the left side of my stomach hurt.
So decided to just do take it easy n just treadmill, cycle, the other thing and do some leg muscle workout thing... since i hate my fat bumpy cellulite-filled thunder thighs. The muscles in my butt actually hurts after the exercise.
Good.
But i also slept like a baby for god knows how long after that... Bad. Yawns.

Childish
Cut into another lane on Kesas. Heavy traffic, rush hour. Expensive bike sounded its horn at me. I horned back lar, u think u own the road? =P
The guy horned back! And i horned back again! And he horned again! Wahahaha, while beeping/horning/whatever me, i saw him bounce on the seat of the bike! Damn funny! Hahahahaha. Like sound effects-the beep is the sound effect of the bounce!
I laughed like hell. Dunno if u understand me. =P
Next. I fell out with a friend last year. Used to be very very close, but hardly spoken to her since July last year. Just hellos, sms birthday wishes. A couple of short conversations online once in a blue moon etc.
On the way to E's place this morning, i passed by her house. Her brother was reversing out so i stopped and waited. I saw a girl in a passenger seat but i didn't know if it was her or the brother's girlfriend. So i did not wave/smile.
I did smile at her brother but i guess he didn't see me since his expression didn't change.
In uni, i saw someone that looked like her from afar. I looked again, longer, trying to assertain if it were her, since i'm VERY bad at recognising.
When i determined it was her, just as i was about to smile and wave, she turned away deliberately, bithcily, in a frown, before i managed to smile, wave.
Okayyyy, so it was her in the car with her brother. And she must be mad at me for not smiling/waving?? So she's returning me the cold treatment?
Is it my fault? Do u think its justifiable that she did what she did? What about next time? Should i smile when i see her? Or should i do the same?
There is not much left to salvage from the friendship, honestly, i don't enjoy her company anymore but i don't want to see that five-six years of friendship degrade into completely nothing. I don't wanna say "that girl and i were close but now we don't even say hie to each other anymore".
But at the same time, i don't want to smile at her, only to have her intentionally ignore me. I don't know why but it still hurts to have her treat me that way.
Interpret the title of this post in whatever way u wish. If u think i am the childish one, so be it, but do tell me. I need to know, i need to learn. But comment diplomatically. Thanks.
