after yesterday's triple whammy, today was definitely slower. ohyeah i forgot to mention, it was a triple whammy yest, cos i got this mass msg from tommy saying he changed his number. so i suppose tt means that he doesn't suspect me? haha. which, shafa claims, can finally be closure for me.
anyway, carlsberg guy wasn't working today. i looked and looked and looked, and he just wasn't there! i was quite disappointed. cos yest i got to see him eat old chang kee outside. wow he's so cute. ohyah and liyana keeps suaning me about george! it's completely embarrassing. i think the entire female population of swensen's loves him or smthg. sheesh. i know i think he's cute, but i didn't think he was that cute, it was more of the whole bad-boy thing he had going. well whatever.

okay, today was officially the best day of my life. i swear. it couldn't have been any better. okay, maybe it could, but just by a teeny bit.
anyway, what am i talking about? well. i'm talking about work! i was working the 5-11 today. [or technically speaking, yesterday.] and it was a sunday rite, so ns guys started streaming in.. i met nicole, frm rgs.. and she remembers me, i dunno y, cos like we haven't even talked before. and i was doing the alfresco so there was this part of 8, and they were ordering, and someone asked another person, "what do you want, shi han?" and i was like, WHAAAT. and i like, shot him a glance and it WAS shi han frm obs.. and i stared at him and smiled and he was like, "norain.." haha. cool.
okay, to get to the point, i was at the fountain trying to catch a glimpse of carlsberg guy, and i saw this like, vik, with a familiar-looking bag. and i was like, ain, don't be crazy, it can't possibly be OM.. but he turned around, and i saw his face, and it WAS him! i wanted to die. okay, no i didn't. i wanted to start dancing right there and then. or scream his name or smthg. but you know, duty called. so i went back outside. unfortunately, he sat inside.. but when they were seated [he was with bfg, who was booking back into camp], i went up to them and i sed, "hello.." and he looked up and he looked so surprised, and he said, "eh hi, what are you doing here?" haha duh. stalking you, i wanted to say. "duh, working!" i said instead. haha. omg it was just so cool! and they asked me, "got free food?" [that's about the only interaction i remember having with bfg.] haha. always the eternal question. anyway, i was so bitter at having to do alfresco. ironic cos i've been wanting to do alfresco since i started, but last night was the wrong night man. hai. takper. got to refill their water once. haha. and when they were leaving, he made tt sound and waved--waved--at me. woohoo!
haha. point of interest. i told liyana about him, and she was like, "gelapnyer! macam orang minyak!" haha. universal opinion, it seems.
anyway after tt i got home, siaped, and went back out. i totally do not understand the taxi metering logic of the wee hours of the night/morning. the part that said "extras" kept rising and rising! in the end kena 14 bucks. bodoh. but anyway it was a blast! they play only hip-hop and R&B, so it was perfect.. and yeah, it was wall-to-wall mats. haha. note to shafa there. mats and all these hardly-dressed girls. i can safely say i wasn't inappropriately dressed. haha. and of course george looked great. really cute. and he smelled great, he always smells great--it's the perfume. and i cabbed home with him. yay. haha. he doesn't live that far away frm me, just down the road slightly from mak.
yeah it was really cool, except for the fact that i can't seem to get the smell of rokok out of my hair. really annoying. i shampooed with 2 different kinds of shampoo! pon tak hilang! dammit! and of course now i can hardly keep my eyes open. it was quite funny really, cos by the time i got home, my mom was awake and pottering round the house. parental reactions? i dunno. she didn't say much, so i'm taking it as general consent.
well yeah. all things considered, yest was perfect.

heyya today marks the most successful mat-watching day in the history of mankind! haha. sorry aku giler. but wow it was just so much fun! other than the fact tt i downed more than my fair share of coffee, which will prolly make me get up at unearthly hours to pee.
hm we started out swimming/tanning at sya's.. it was cool, and i managed to work on my floating.. haha. so if i can't swim to save my life, at least i might be able to float to save my life. and i got a cool tan, even though it was like less than 2 hours of tanning..
then i met shafa at tampines int.. i was late so she got to like see all the residential mats.. haha. anyway we had lunch at jon's salon as usual.. for once, i actually finished my food.. entah, these days i can never seem to finish the nasi, and it's so sayang.. saw gerard.. woohoo.. he rocks. like i said, all of you will come crawling back to me someday, admitting how hot he is, and how sorry you all were for being so blind. hm we met ambika, and simin.. yeah and some familiar-looking guy who looks abit like tommy.
well by then it was time to begin the mat-watching, but we had no idea where to go.. we tried the wheelock coffee bean, but it was like full.. so takper.. and we went to rocky master's [or whatever] instead. there were these 2 cool guys sitting near the front, like all hip-hop-py and stuff.. and while we were waiting for our drinks, one of them came up to shafa and started asking her where the good clubs were or smthg. haha. i wanted to die laughing. i KNEW he was trying to chat her up cos when she sed she doesn't go clubbing, he asked her name and everything.. we didn't really catch his name [it starts with a D], but he works in ecko hong kong, and he's puerto rican plus iranian. [his mom's iranian.] cool sia.
the mats were great, and ader quite a few skaters.. of all ages.. there were sum like, 10-yr-olds.. kiut. and i SWEAR i saw the canadian pizza guy, but maybe i was blind. entah. anyway we were walking round the second level of cine [cos we got tired of the lung-cancer-inducing-smoke], and i met josh! woohoo! he's all botak-growing-out-ish.. and he's booking in at 730 tmr.. malam, i mean.. oh and there's this cute guy working at the cafe or whatever tt blocks the once-accessible passageway on the 2nd floor. mim guy. seriously, he's cuter than tommy..
we had dinner at LJS. ["we had dinner"=shafa ate, i watched.] and shafa fell completely in love with one of those over-the-top mats. you know, the kind with shades tt cover half their face, plus like, the shirt-jacket-pants combo? she was totally obsessing over him. okay, takperlah, but she even called him "ringleader"! giler eh? ringleader. eee. okay whatever rocks her boat larh. i didn't have a mat-of-the-day, but there was this cute vik in a purple tshirt with a nice goatee who was people-watching too. haha. btw, thanks to ringleader, we spent like 93746284 hours at LJS. but it's okay, i was in no hurry to get home.
we made one more stop before home. you know me and my habit of dwelling on the painful past. i convinced shafa to go to lido starbucks with me. haha. and i got my usual. haha. HE wasn't working, but dil was. and dil was also surprisingly nice, like smiling and friendly and everything. so i forgive him for being irritating and patronizing those past times. haha. not tt he was begging for my keampunan or anything. so that was a total of lots of coffee--the rhumba AND the iced mocha frm rocky.. btw the iced mocha rocks, it's so chocolate-powdery! and so now here i am, with the beginnings of a sore throat and the usual pangs of nak terkencing. haha too much info.
haha and shafa was attracting so much attention! besides the puerto rican guy, one grp of mats commented "cantik rambut!" and another grp sed "wah, the strokes!" haha. but she was pekak so only *I* heard those comments. but wow. it was a great day, overall, even though i missed simple life 2.. i mean, it was wildly successful and all.. can't wait for the next month's..!

"Urban Essentials--so phat, we put yo momma to shame."

hehe. i'm listening to urban essentials on nova 93.7.. this australian channel.. it rocks! they play like a total of 6 hours of hip-hop and R&B per week.. and tt joke reminds me of OM.. speaking of whom, i wonder how he's doing..

okay carlsberg guy first. he was working again today, i think he started ard 1230-1245 gitu ah.. and shafa was like, "he has the rugger build tt u like.." haha. oh wow he's really cute, and i was like sitting outside cleaning the baby chairs, and he walked past me! i'm not sure where he was going, canadian pizza? anyway he was THIS close and it was all i could do not to like reach out and hug him. haha. and he passed me twice more, thereby upping the cobaan factor.. bodoh. and at one point i was just staring away at him and then i turned around and i almost bumped into george. buat malu sey.
yes. george was late. like one-and-a-half hours late. i'd like to think it was cos of sembahyang jumaat, but baba sed no, the earliest they end will be 145.. anyway he's a huge pemalas, he goes for "toilet breaks" like once every hour, and for about 15 minutes each!!! he's crazy! i dunno how he's lasted this long.. oh and we were both looking at the VDay cakes, and he asked sunny, "this one the valentine's day cake ah?" and sunny was like, "yah.." and i asked, "how much ah?" cos you know, they're really nice and cute and i was thinking of getting one. for myself. anyway, sunny said, "$12.50.." and i made a face. duh, what a shitty price! and THEN sunny added, "you buy for him, he buy for you lah!" omg! buat malu! i promptly ran away from them. far far away.
anyway to his delight and my dismay, work finally ended. so i brought out my butterscotch and water and i sat outside. and he and kak nores joined me, and they, of course, started puffing away. urgh. the only reason i took it at all is cos he was there. i think i'm just gonna have to get used to it ah. as long as i don't start ah. he also took out his mp3 player [one of those creative or ipod ones] and started bopping and singing along, with kak nores. and i was just dying, cos he can't sing!!! haha. then he asked to listen to my mp3s, and i think he liked them, cos he was like singing along even more.. like the "snooooooop" part in drop it like it's hot, and practically the whole of 1,2 step..
well i could just go on and on, but i won't. haha. i have some self-restraint left in me. haha.
ooh we [baba and me] met at woodlands just now, and there was a group of cute budak CD.. hehe. i lurve budak CD. they rate right up there, after budak police.. oh and we got our fitted white shirts.. tak sabar sey, nak pakai! woohoo..

wow i was so totally crushing on carlsberg guy just now!!! i kept topping up the ice in the jugs so i'd get to look in his direction.. he was just looking so cute, sitting on a crate of drinks, or standing around.. wow. his face and physique are just like wow.
oh and when i first got into work, guess who was eating ice-cream at table 21? kentut and friends!!! omg. i was just wondering yest, when they'd show up, and well, rupernyer it was today. but they didn't recognise me, i think. anyway they're like, liyana's ex-classmates, so i think they were there to see her..
as we were closing, abg rahim's friend came to like, hang out with him.. and his twin brother came too. i wanted to die laughing! he was like, "that's my twin brother, muker macam abg rahim sikit.." and well, they're like twins, so they were spitting images of each other! haha. i dunno why i thought it was such a funny concept, but it was.
well, tmr's the big day. haha. i put a star next to the "12-5" notation to remind me of its significance. if he happens not to work tmr i'll know that it's just not meant to be. haha.

just bumming around before work.. anyway i watched shall we dance last night, with baba and lucaz [one of her colleagues], and left with a burning desire to learn all those dances. hahah. oh and they make a reference to the original the king and i in the movie. it's so cool, cos i've been trying to d/l tt song like, forever! yeah anyway as movies go, it's not tt great, but who cares? i watch movies cos i like them, not because they're good.. next is constantine, and hitch looks good too..
oh and i found this shop selling console games, right next to the bishan theatre.. the urbz is selling for about 70 bucks, the same as in perth, so i'm bumping off all items on my things-to-get-when-i-finally-get-my-pay list and putting the urbz on top. ha. can't wait!!! and i dunno what i'm gonna do with the one i got in perth, but whatever. with time, it might just disappear and 70 Australian bucks will remain in its place.
went to rj again yest, but i totally did not spot first official cute j1 '05. maybe next time. haha. and i went to the office and asked after the batch directory and it seems we'll get it along with our results, if anyone's interested. haha.

got back from another supposed mat-watching outing with shafa, and i want so many more things tt i don't think my whole first month's pay is gonna cover it all! haha. i wanna get the secret potion and the purple loose powder from red earth! and i've decided my first dvd will be either barbershop 2: back in business or shrek 2. i'd rather get the latter cos it has more extras.
anyway it was a "supposed" outing, cos shafa was so cerewet she only declared like 1% of them as mats, while i was just like turning here and turning there like giler. haha. funnn.
btw due to my great observance, i've discovered tt the cute guy archie from csi is archie kao in real life. haha. but i've only found one photo of him on imdb. ooo he's so cute!

woohoo. residential cute guy does NOT hate me! haha. i was at mac's with baba buying dinner and he came in, and i kinda smiled at him, and he smiled back!!! woohoo! but of cos, i had nothing interesting or remotely normal to say. takper. there's always friday.
there was this couple with a 2-year-old kid who came in just now, and i was totally attending to them.. and they were all really nice! serani, and the parents are like solidly-built, and the kid, ricardo, is a really really lawar boy with the finest hair in the loveliest shade of brown.. and they were all so friendly.. the dad was like, "i want the lamb chops with lots of fat.. babat.." and later while he was enjoying his lamb chops, he said, "miss.. these lamb chops are really nice.. a lot of fat.. really really nice.." while his wife was laughing away. and once when i walked past, ricardo slapped me from the back, and his dad scolded him, "you start touching people when you're young, what will happen when you grow up?" haha. SO funny. i hope they come back. they're so cool.
oh and there was sum huge sale of canned drinks [incl beer] in the square, and there was this cute guy wearing a carlsberg tshirt [presumably promoting carlsberg beer], of indeterminate race. so i spent some time at the fountain staring at him. haha.

heyhey.
after work today sya and i were hanging out at pasir ris int.. there were billions of ns guys, booking back in.. but i swear, 75% of them were fat! haha. anyway i met suff, with some of the sjimats, and he said they're booking out after 2 weeks, so it looks like we'll be hanging out there 2 weeks from now. haha.
oh and this week i'm only working 4 days, excellent!
God i have so many things to do with my pay once i get it. i figure i'll put half in the bank and spend the other half.. off the top of my head, i'm gonna get:
1. brown contacts
2. a nice new dvd to celebrate the new dvd player
3. new clothes
4. large hairclips
5. Jay Sean CD!
6. new piercing
and you know, stuff like that.

ha. i went to jon's salon just now and finally got my first-ever photo with taufik. actually, scratch tt. it was my second-ever photo with taufik [the first was taken with my fone]. it's really nice, objectively speaking. no, seriously. i have nothing to do with the nice way the photo looks, of course. it's cos the background [marie veton and all the clothes] is so colourful and bright and stuff. and i dunno how the makcik printed it, but it has this nice white border round it, like some professional photo or smthg. cool.
lots more things happened at jon's salon, other than the photo, which will stick in my mind much longer than the memory of the photo. and it all happened in such a short time, i could hardly absorb it! oh God. grant me the strength to forget this.
and it's been having fun having people stare at my braids, but i've concluded tt i have sum sorta scalp problem and so they're gonna have to go.

it was another meet-taufik session today. but nothing can beat the first one i had. same place, same people, plus a whole load of others. this time there were guys as well. haha. there was a cute arab-looking one, a family friend of amy's.. he's in sec 3, and he's really cute in a budak-baik-with-thick-brows kinda way. and his mom kept pestering me to take photos with taufik. haha. this time it was all that much more embarrassing cos u know, everyone's watching you take photos with him. so i just stayed away from him mostly, and watched pretty woman.
i guess the problem this time is tt it wasn't very intimate or personal or anything. plus we'd been there 2 hours earlier or smthg, and the tension was mounting in the period of time before he arrived.. well, whatever, i'm still glad tt i went--at least i got to talk to him [about my braids, actually]. and it was the last ever meet-taufik session, so i'm glad i didn't miss it. cos he's being transferred to the police band, actually, so i suppose amy's uncle won't be able to "abuse" his position anymore. haha.
there was this really cool lady who was there too. she's the receptionist at amy's mom's workplace. she has short hair and she dresses really really cool, and she looks great.. sorta like Phoebe [Charmed]. a malay Phoebe. cool sey. i wanna look like her when i grow up.
haha. "when i grow up.." when will i stop saying tt? when do i have to stop saying tt? when i'm 20? tt's like barely 2 years away. or when i'm married with kids? well. just wondering.

i'm watching the second episode of american idol on star. woohoo star world rocks.

today was slack as usual. i managed to clean out like 4 drawers and mop the storeroom, with drinking time to spare. anyway, there was this guy today who totally reminded me of derrick! same voice, same sense of humour, same niceness, everything! he ordered an earthquake, and i was getting all confused with the flavours and stuff, and he was just really nice about it. but yah, he WASN'T derrick, cos he didn't look a bit like him at all.

hm. Cute Guy of the Day was actually a father of this 2-year-old girl. haha. he's a vik, and he was totally scaring me by making me the sounding board for his you-don't-have-a-washbasin complaint. i mean, i totally agree with his logic and stuff, but i'm not exactly the right person for him to relay his comments to. so i was just standing there helplessly, while his wife smiled at me sympathetically.
oh and resident cute guy was working today, of course.. but it was non-peak at 5, so he wasn't hanging round the alfresco area like he was supposed to. he's like botak, i just realised, but he's so cute! when he came in to work, he was plugged into his earfones and he was just bopping away to the music. like really, REALLY grooving to the music. so cute! naseb baik takder customers, i looked quite stupid just standing there watching him. and clearly, i wanted to linger for as long as possible but the area manager just HAD to drop by so i made myself scarce.
had peach ice-cream today, it was so nice! it has actual peach bits inside, so cool! and today was quite a slack day, so it was quite relaxing, and i even took one order. ha!

oooooh i'm so tired. i think that'll be my opening refrain, starting now.
worked the 12-5 today, it was okay actually, less crowded than i expected.. and i spilled water again, twice. once while pouring ice water for this boy. but his mom was SO nice, she started laughing and she told the boy, "see that shows that you need another shower!" yeah i mean, most moms would just be shit outraged and get me fired or smthg. another time at the food runner station. sucks man. and i scalded my thumb on the curry chicken baked rice. yum.
i can't believe i'm working for the next 4 days! God that's just giler tiring man! and to make things worse, the cute guy won't be around!!! he's working the 5-11, while i'm working the 12-5.. damn! takpe, i'll hang ard for like 15 more minutes, maybe.. haha.. and then i'll sit outside for like 45 minutes.. just in case he comes out, even though he works at the fountain.
ohyah there was one cute guy today, with his gf. he gives a nick vibe.. haha. all biggish and cute-faced.. so i was especially attentive to him. and yest there was this cute guy who ordered takeaway, and kak nores told me he's a regular, so woohoo, can't wait to see him again.. his bapak is feringhee, and his mom is malay.. cool, mixed!
and i've lost track of the days, wow..

God my legs are killing me! ..and so ends my first day at work.. haha. oh guess what. i DID spill water, as i feared i would. hahaha. the [plastic, thankfully] cup toppled over and completely drenched this poor balding guy's back. and i was like, "i'm so sorry! i am, i'm so sorry!" God if i weren't so mortified it would actually be funny. actually kak nores did laugh at me. haha. and it was my first serving-run somemore. way to lower the morale, man. haha. well i recovered, after hiding at the fountain for a few minutes.. and my legs are more tired than my arms, anyway. i don't think i sat down at ALL, from the moment i started work. i didn't think that was possible.
it's really cool, you can see a marked change in the number of patrons as dinnertime approaches.. and by 10 there's hardly anyone. there are those idiots who sit there for hours and hours. it's quite annoying acherli. i mean, to me, it was just an eyesore. like, can you go already so i can clear the table?!?!?!
at the end of the night, i had chocolate peanut buttercup ice-cream [CPBC], scooped for me by azhar, who resembles shamo, and who calls me No-Rain for some unknown reason.. there was some leftover rice [as in Baked Rice. yummy!], but i didn't have any cos of my stupid self-enforced rule of not eating after 7. hahaha. mampos ah kalau besok ader leftovers, aku akan kebas.
and tt was my first day at work. ohyah there was one cute customer, but he was with his gf. gondol.

wow. i logged into statcounter and found out a few disturbing things. firstly, someone has been searching for nydia AGAIN. heLLO! the girl wears a tudung, can we please leave her alone? kesian sey. secondly, someone has been searching for scaryhots! and landed here! how embarrassing. i hope it wasn't one of his good friends who'll tell him the stuff i wrote abt him. and lastly, someone has been searching for ME!!! oh God. that is so freaky. [okay fine, it wasn't freaky when i was searching for samit, but still. he's a guy. trained in defence and law and order. I'm just a helpless girl. so leave me alone.]
i bought a new cd today. pure uRBan essentials 2. i got it for like $19.50! what a bargain. [oh God i sound like becky bloomwood. haha.] it is SO good! i adore it. it's 2 cds which means 40 songs! isn't that amazing? i can't wait to buy more of them.
gondol nyer jason. nak ber-friendly2 konon niari. tembak.. oh no i start work tmr, i'm totally freaked out! i have horrible visions of spilling ice water on innocent patrons/myself and breaking plates full of food. please don't let tt happen, God..

today was my last day of training. i start the day after!?!?!?! -shrieks in horror- oh and abg rahim was giving me the grand tour , but he got waylaid at the fountain [tempat buat ice-cream], so i waited for him, and the cute guy working at the fountain talked to me! wow. i wasn't even looking at him at first, so when i heard his voice i practically had to pinch myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming. haha. i'm not gonna reveal his name for fear of being discovered here, and i'm also not gonna detail the conversation here cos i've had enough of obsessing over guys who wear aprons who make conversation with me. but wow. i really hope he talks to me again! but i won't be seeing him for like, oh, i dunno, the next week or so? cos i checked the roster and tmr's the last day he's working this week. dammit. and all the times I'm working this week, he's not! it's SO sad. oh and the column next to his name says "NS" so maybe he's going off to NS soon.. that's SO sad.

hmm.. i guess i wouldn't have been tt starstruck cos of that first time in marie veton.. but i mean, baba and i DID refuse to enter the house and giggled in the corridor for eons. and baba kept asking, "you're real right?" haha. and of cos, the rgs girls were having lunch with him so i'm sure tt helped to ease any starstruck-ness. he's a really nice guy. the kind tt we'd be good friends with under normal circumstances.
had training today. for the waitressing job, i mean. it was okay. cos i just sat there and listened to my trainer, Kak Nores, and jotted down notes. it's abit like going for lecture, except it's one-on-one, and it's 2 hours long. oh and people keep walking past you cos we were sitting in the alfresco area. there were quite a few cute guys too! and i regretted not wearing anything cool and eye-catching. haha. there's a Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza place next door, so there were some cute guys frm there.. and there was a cute hai sing vik/mim-gelap, and an okay coffee bean guy, and the swensen's guys were pretty okay themselves.. oh and i was initially afraid i'd have to take out my nose stud or smthg, but interestingly enough, my trainer and another girl have nose studs too, so no worries there. haha. ohyeah and the area manager dropped in for a visit, and he's really nice! he came out to say hi to everyone and asked for introductions.. anyway yeah more training tmr.. and i just realised tt i'll prolly be working during CNY, WITH abovementioned swensen's guys. cool.

'sup, man?
had the greatest day ever. okay so it didn't start out so well. baba msged me: "taufik didn't report for work today so the whole thing is at a standstill. amy will keep me updated." so i was like really sad and i really believed tt it wasn't gonna happen. skali kul 11 si baba called and asked, "kau dah siap ke belum? he's coming at 12-plus so can we siap in like 15 minutes gitu?" so i had to scramble like crazy, nasib baik dah mandi, and took a bus to khatib to meet baba.
yadayadayada.. finally we reached there, the rgs girls were already there, eating lunch with him.. kesian amy sorang, i'm glad we arrived to form an older-girls group with her. haha. anyway in the lift baba and i were like, "okay, we're older.. act mature.." but then when amy opened the door and went in, baba refused to go in! and i got scared too, and we spent like 5 minutes giggling nervously outside her door, and amy's parents and her pakcik [a.k.a. taufik's inspector] were like laughing at us. anyway after tt we dashed into amy's room and hid there.. but finally we came out and sat in the hall while waiting for him to finish eating.
then he finished eating and he sat on the sofa next to mine.. and he started to sign autographs.. God, i thought they'd never end! those rgs girls kept coming up with more things for him to sign.. i mean, at first it was just normal stuff like his calendar thingy and posters, then they started tossing phones, bags, phone covers, previous photos, and even one ezlink card! tsk. for the record, i got him to sign my calendar thingy and my bag. that's it. ha.
then finally we took photos. lots of them. neverending. i wanted some of him in full uniform, but he couldn't take off his jacket cos apparently you can't take social photos in uniform. i managed to see his badge with his photo, though, so cute! but when it finally ended, it was back to more autographs! haha. then i decided to call fana and give her a chance to talk to him, since she couldn't come along.. actually i called sya first, but she didn't pick up so bukan rezeki dier ah.. anyway he was being really funny and cute and well he was just lots of fun.. once a trailer of his video came out on tv and he was like, "eh siapa tu? orang giler!" awww cute nyer! ohyeah he sed he was in soccer but he sucked so he joined AVA. and i was like, "eh kental!" and he agreed. wahaha! and he sed he refused to join tarian cos it's kental for guys..
anyway then amy's uncle got a call about a suicide a few blocks away, so he [amy's uncle] was gonna go alone and leave taufik with us, but of cos taufik had to get back to work too. hai.. bodohlah si org commit suicide tu.. what bad timing! if not, we wouldn't have let him leave, i think.
but he managed to sing a song for us before he left, how cool is that? we requested me and mrs. jones, by popular demand. okay, at first he just sang the first line, spontaneously and without warning or prompting. then i started screaming. haha. which set everyone else off. so we asked him to sing for us, this time with our recordable phones at the ready. it was really cool. baba helped me hold mine, so i walked around taking his photos from different angles..
and finally he left, the rgs girls walked him downstairs while i just stood at the gate and kept saying "bye". how slenger. of me, i mean. haha.
and that was our day with taufik! yeah!

i've been crossing at traffic lights alot lately, and i've been wanting to mention this, and samit even mentioned a version of it in his blog. anyway. i was just wondering. why do people jab at the traffic-light-buttons so? like, if someone's there alone, they stand next to it, jabbing away repeatedly at the button. what, do they think that an extra jab will encourage the traffic lights to hurry it up and change faster? or if someone's there already, and the button is already lighted, the next person comes along and presses it anyway. like, maybe the first person has nothing better to do than to stand on a street corner and watch the cars go by, and clearly he hasn't pressed the button cos it's lighted?
just a thought. i wonder if those buttons wear out faster with all this incessant jabbing.

so today i went back to rj. okay scratch tt. i went to the new campus. it's HEEEEEEEEUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE. you could get lost there. [in fact, i did.] lots of places for making out and stuff. but you know what? besides the fact tt i have a straight bus there, i infinitely prefer the old campus. so i'm glad i didn't have to move.
did major catching up with the PsMS minus hana. how fun! of course, i bored them silly with samit stuffs. but most of the time i kept myself in check.. haha. there was alot of talk about taufik, and at one point, marriage and even sayurs!!! God. we ARE getting old, aren't we?
and i found this year's first official cute j1! hahaha. i have to keep reminding myself i'm a j3. anyway. he's a vik [duh], kinda short and skinny and dark but really nice wavy hair AND he wears diamante earring(s)! i love him already. hahaha. yeah he's hot.
i have to admit i was hoping OM would be there, tapi takder ah. sad. there was nasi though, and lauk and yes, sya, i'll have to agree tt iylia looks hot. i can't understand how i missed it when we were tarian partners.
i did alot of sitting around, actually. oh but we played ourscene for the first time, and sya won, even though i'd bumped her back to start earlier. haha. bodoh. and i added a couple of photos [including one of samit], so it looks even cooler. i think i'll add another one soon. when i find a really hot one. i realise he's not very photogenic, even though he's extremely hot in person.
ohyeah, this morning i tried to cut my hair, and now i'm left with the shittiest bangs the world has ever known. so i have to use lotsa gel and keep my hair pinned up. gondol. now i'll look shitty for the rest of my life. [or the next few months, or something.]
finally tomorrow will be an actual rest day. i hope i get the swensen's job. please, please, PLEASE, God.

woohoo! bought taufik's cd! haha. slightly more than a week, and i can collect it..

yoohoooooo!!!
haha. i thought tt going out at 7 a.m. would make it a shitty day for me, but no! baba and i were sending irwan off just now, at pasir ris interchange [wow i'm so glad to be living here after all], and we met nikhil.. haha so we went up to him while his parents were talking to sum guy, and i asked about OM. ingenious, no? yeah and he willingly provided the requested info.. woohoo!

went to PS swensen's to look for a job. the manager there, rahman, was totally hitting on baba! kesian. he kept asking, "ni ader vacancy tak?" and saying eew things like, "alah jauh ah, camna abang nak ambik.." my sympathies to baba. but at the same time, hahahahah. it was really funny cos her interview was like 30 mins long or smthg and mine lasted all of 5 minutes. well, whatever. i'm not complaining. i mean, he's old, even by my standards. and baba considers anyone who's not 18 as "old", so it's REALLY funny.
oh and i couldn't resist, i just HAD to visit starbucks. and he was working, yeah. but he totally ignored me, so i totally ignored him. actually i should have acted normal [which means i say hi to him, and make small talk and stuff], but i dunno. i just can't do things like tt. it's too much of an act. everything's changed lah. i guess i should just forget him now. but i'm still gonna think he's cute. but it's okay. i'll just pretend we never talked. like just now was the first time i met him. yah. great. then i can still keep going there. and i can still keep seeing him around. it'll be like me seeing samit around, but him not knowing i exist so i can still go on liking him. yeah. great approach.

so yest turned out pretty cool, actually.
met baba at the airport for the annual swensen's birthday lunch. we had fries, calamari rings and ice-cream cake. we did gift-exchanging--i got a door hanger and the honey vcd i've been wanting! it even has a cool dance instruction video, which i haven't really watched yet due to people constraints. haha. baba brought candles, so we poked one each into our cake, made wishes and blew them. it was cool. i haven't blown out candles in.. well, actually the last time was on my brother's birthday, haha.. but that was a disgusting durian cake and about 1938748 other people were blowing out the candles too so it doesn't count.
i came back home and bummed around a bit before going to gillian's house.. only vania was there, and i thought i was late! and there was like so much food.. anyway it was really cool.. i was exchanging guy gossip with nurse, and she told me some stuff about batu tt puts some things into context. ooh and we met gillian's [younger] brother, who is like half-a-metre taller than her, and has apparently lost 15kg, and is kinda cute! nurse and i were visibly drooling. haha. anyway then we cabbed down to the esplanade.. it transpires tt xiaoyun was fahmi's partner during the prom pageant thingy.. haha. the crowd at the esplanade was just wow. i've never been to a countdown thingy before, so tt was a new experience for me. it wasn't tt great, though, i thought. okay, firstly, instead of the countdown, we observed a minute of silence at 11.59pm. so at the end of tt minute, ppl started cheering. okay, it was quite cool i guess. there were all sorts of people there! and like, seemingly the entire bangla workers community was there.. and beribu couples.. the latter adding less to my enjoyment of the event than the former, actually. i didn't see anyone i knew except for 2 j3 [okay now they're j4] manjen girls. but u know, the sheer number of ppl translates to quite a number of cute guys too! haha. and there were like, entire malay families, complete with tudunged mom and songkok-ed dad.. i thought it was quite cool and unexpected.
i was afraid i wouldn't be able to get home, but it turns out there's a nightrider that goes right to my stop. so i sat there, my butt turning to stone, for like 2 hours, as the bus went the scenic route through md sultan road, orchard road, and down the east mrt line on the way to my house. i was kinda hoping i'd see samit or smthg, but no go. ohwell. i tried. anyway, i wasn't exaggerating, it really took 2 hours. i got the bus at like 1245 and reached home around 230. but wow. my first nightrider experience! how cool!
anyway i was so tired when i got home, i slept till like 12 noon. [actually, i slept till just before tt cos my mom just HAD to call me on my cellphone. talk about bad timing.] and i've been chilling infront of the tv since then, watching the CSI marathon and my honey vcd, so i shd be quite well-rested now yeah? happy new year. ohyeah and i hung up my new skateboarding calendar. love it!
