Had a nice shift at work yesterday. Boring, pasal takder cute guys as usual, but it was alrite. Andy and Don were complaining because a certain someone kept taking one-hour breaks. Sigh. Suka hati kau lah nak.

Oh okay fine, Dan was there. Mira says he looks like Utt. Haha. I agree!

Then after work, Khai came by with his friend Zhafran and we hung out and watched Balls of Fury. Omg that is such a fantastic movie. It's hilarious nak mampos! And Masi Oka guest-stars, if I'm not blind. And Maggie Q is so hot, it's unbearable. AND Mowgli from Jungle Book [Jason Scott Lee was Mowgli, right?] was in it too. I don't understand why Christopher Walken is such an accomplished comedy actor, I think his face is actually pretty serious.

Anyway. Point: Funny movie. I still wanna watch The Nanny Diaries, by the way.




So this morning, we passed inspection, save for the non-blinking signal lights. And then when I reached home, I jiggled the left footrest because it just didn't feel right, and *plunk!* the batang-connector [whatever its real name is] broke off. Congrats.

Thank God for lots of things.
Thank God it didn't happen before/during inspection.
Thank God we didn't go straight to bike shop after that.
Thank God it only broke off when I reached home.

Et cetera.



I'm going crazy, this lab report is not doing my mind any favours. What's with the utterly-confusing NMR spectrum?!?!

Yesterday was Khai's birthday. [He turned 20, fyi.]



So we hung out at Vivo. Yes, just the two of us. Don't ask me why he wasn't out with his other guy friends or whatever. Or his family. Well, he said his family semua macam busy. So yea. It was fun. I dragged him to eat rosti and calamari, followed by some SB-lovin', followed by Ben & Jerry's. *slurp*




Oooh. Remember the Calculus test I thought I screwed up? I passed! I got sixteen out of a possible twenty, yay! But remember, my friends, this is the five-people class, so I have no idea what my letter grade will be.


More 2A just now. I sucked, again. But I sucked less! Haha. And everyone was going on about how my figure 8 is so smooth, and whatever. WELL, that doesn't help my bumpy course, does it? Abeh nak bitter eh. Well, thank the Lord for my excellent figure-8 skills, but I really hope I get some bumpy course skills soon. Haha. The nice class 2 dude was there again. He's so friendly. I love friendly guys. Too bad he's prolly married with kids. No I'm kidding, aku tak suker dier or anything, I just love having someone to talk to. Takyah look so worried and unapproachable all the time.

I hope people don't think I'm showing off at figure 8 because I swear, I'm just unable to go slowly. Abeh time crank course screwed up. Sigh.



Geylang on Sunday night with Hanom and Yoyo[balls]. It was alrite, tapi two of us [you can guess which two] were wondering where all the cute mats were. Oh, there were a couple here and there, but they were either:
(a) with their pregnant wives, or
(b) minors of the age 17 and below.
So you can see I wasn't having such a fantastic mat-watching time.
But bumping into Horis and Gad was great. They're so much fun I swear. And when Zahdan arrived, all hell broke loose.

Gad: "Zahdan kau pakai makeup eh?"
Zahdan: nonchalantly "Tak, tak pakai makeup. [pause] Foundation."
Everyone looks incredulously at one another.

It was revealed later that he was also wearing lip balm and eyeliner. Haha.


Hmm yes I think I've just about covered everything. I'll end off with the overdue photos from the Wild Slumber Party at Hanom's. HAHA. They've been held over due to Ramadhan, but they'll resume right after, YAY!

YZ forced me to be at bar on Friday, it was terrible. Okay, no, it wasn't. I didn't get any outrightly-dissatisfied customers or anything. But I felt so lost, and I didn't even have a till AT ALL. It STILL wasn't crazy busy like weekends should be. I guess it's partly cos of Ramadhan and stuff.

After work I went to An's and we hung out for awhile.

Then I got home, only to find that there were no parking spaces available. Bings giler babs sey. In the end I had to park next to a tong sampah. BODOH.

I've been bored all day and working on my lab report all day, and I'm still barely half done.

I have mechanic's hands again because I washed the bike just now HAHA. I am in love with the engine degreaser, by the way. It's like magic. [Of course, as a chemist, I know better.] I was happily spraying away and all the grease just melted into oblivion. Okay, no, it dripped to the power of gravity, but whatever.

Anyways the FJR dude and his Super Four friend were like talking to me just now. Totally buat malu sey. Dahlah si S4 tak puasa--happily drinking a canned drink and smoking--nak mintak allen key and chain lube from aku lagi ader. And my phone was blasting jiwang songs, and FJR asked me to Bluetooth him one of the songs. Consequently, he found out my name. :S

They were basically like, hanging around, for Lord knows what reason. Giving me tips, and asking me where I go to school, and how come I wasn't in school just now, and telling me to spray the fairing and buy bike parts in Malaysia.




Calculus midterm was crazy. It was like four questions, worth five marks each. Mati aku. And I couldn't do a single one! So I just bluffed my way through. This is maths, though, not history, so I don't think it'll work, but we'll see. Haha.

I adoreadoreadore my new Crumpler. It is gorgeous. It is huge. Lovesloves.

Yesterday I dropped by Ah Boy to get a visor. It was noon, and swelteringly hot. Biasa ah, when I parked infront of the shop, the people sitting at the food centre were staring. And smiling. Whatever, Muslimins-tak-puasa, with your kopi and teh-o sitting in front of you like nobody's business! I HATE people who don't puasa in public. It's disgraceful.

Okay, time to get lost.

Riding was much better this time, even though I didn't pass.

The bumpy course is the bane of my existence, I swear. One of the abangs was frantically giving me tips, but I'm really more of a practice over theory person. In the end I managed to get through the 840278403 bumps without falling or straying from the course. But by that time it was too late lah. Takper there will be a next time.

Plus, I did NOT fall this time, except once when I failed to put the sidestand properly. Itu pun I managed to rescue the bike from falling. Gahaha. I mean, Alhamdulillah.

There were two other girls today. Satu butch ter-tua. And one was a budak pract one. So once again, I wonder, where have all the girls gone?

Ohyeah today's instructor was BP, he's still so cute! Haha.

Wells, I'm off to bed. [*Newsflash: MBBK just called me! But don't worry, he likes other girl(s).*]

Just checking in.

I am so amazingly sleepy it's not even funny. And I wasted like two dollars printing one-slide-per-page notes. How did that happen anyway? I already changed it to 4-slides-per-page! Bloody Lexmark. I hate bloody Lexmark. [Is it batal puasa to be angry at incompetent printers?]

Well, I better get back to my derivatives. I've made three [out of four], two of which are oils and therefore cannot be used cos this is Chem Lab, not art class.

Sorry, I'm a little crabby today.

HeyHEYhey!

So last night I was chatting to MBBK. Online, of course. Haha. He is so adorable, takleh angkssss.

It's already September and I just realised the Ain Awards are coming up! And I completely forgot about it, plus I don't think I have enough guys this year! I tried listing them, but I think I only came up to six, and what kind of a list is that, right?

Actually I don't have anything exciting to blog about. The past two weekends have been spent mainly at home. So like yeah. Sedih kan? Ohwell. My life thus far has been characterised by peaks and valleys, so I will get out of this one day. In the meantime, I'm still battling Cute Boy nightmares and new improved ulcers from the braces.

I was giggling and grinning and ecstatically existing today, and do you know why?

Because of this:



Tak faham? We'll start from the beginning. I was at the AXS machine outside LT27, attempting to renew my season parking. There was hardly anyone around, so when some guy walked past me, I glanced at him. It was MBBK laaaa! And he glanced at me too, and he smiled and I automatically smiled back and waved, for good measure. He started to continue walking, then changed his mind and made his way towards me.

"Ni bawak KR kan? Slalu kalau jalan-jalan mesti nampak.." he said.

I will not detail the conversation here. Because I was pretty stupid during, oh, ALL OF IT. But it was nice. I said something like, "Skarang da tak makan Megabites lagi, dah takleh jumpe ah.." OMG Ain, gatal much? Thankfully, he replied, "Taklah, masih boleh pe.."

Haha. I also said, "You're Khai right? ...Ain.." and he nodded, but I was anxiously wondering whether he was hearing or listening. Anyways whatever, because a coupla minutes later I was walking into lecture still grinning like a Cheshire cat. I was brimming over with the news, but I tried as much as possible not to bore people with it. By the time the two lectures ended, I was almost back to normal. Just a wee bit more hopeful than I once was.

Crossed paths with Farhan, and smiled at him.

Retrieved my helmet which was sitting on the bike, and found a slip of paper sitting innocently underneath. It was a note from him. GAaaaaaaa!!!! [Which, btw, was almost my exact reaction. I literally screamed and, unable to roll around on the gravel in my work clothes, crouched down next to Alfian's bike instead and laughed hysterically.]

That was why I spent the whole ride from school to work grinning and giggling alternately.

Oh, don't worry, it wasn't a love note or anything.

I really really do have a crush on MBBK. He's super-cute la! But then again, scrawny guys have been my downfall. Sigh. Anyways he was at Megabites as usual with Farhan on Tuesday. And I was at Megabites as usual with Hanom and Nadianah. HAH! More of the same la, smile here, smile there, and Farhan waved as they left. It was only the two of them, aku BODOH tak gi bebual ngan diorang, cos when else will we meet in Megabites this bulan Ramadhan? That was my last chance!

Hang in there, Khai, I will macam talk to you after this holy month. Hehe.

I even said goodbye to one of the Megabites cashier aunties. She was macam grinning at me as I stepped up to her for the third time that day, this time with my usual brownie with ice-cream. So I said, "After this you won't see me for one month.." and she laughed and said, "Yah I know!" Haha.




PA at CT was alright, or at least it felt that way. The cute familiar-looking CT partner was there again, presumably doing his PA, and he smiled at me yay! Loves being remembered/recognised. Espesh by cute guys. Actually the CT environment isn't too bad for studying and all. And they have powerpoints, etc. Toilet pun dekat.. It's definitely not LT at night! Haha. Well, in the near future, perhaps.




And today was not just the first day of Ramadhan [which I adore, btw], it was also my first 2A practical. I guess I forgot how hot it could be. I was macam dying out there. But I survived. I dropped the bike a couple of times, and I was jammed against the railing, unable to move. It was so sad and embarrassing. But he kindly passed all of us to the next lesson, even though my plank was too fast and my slalom too slow.

Nat's premonition of there being lots of abang-abangs was right. Sigh. But whatever. There was also a really handsome guy. Really handsome. I'm not kidding. He's taking class 2. Menyenyeh on the phone during breaks though, so I guess he would be attached/married.

Also, macam takder pompan niari. There was one girl in the session before mine, but that was it. Where have all the girls gone?

We were tegured for speeding in the circuit. Haha. How can you NOT speed? The orgasmic sound of the engine, the smooth gear-changing, the clear roads, the wind in your face... I could really get used to this. Well, "speeding" means 30 km/h, so I kept it down to 25. Haha.

Finally, when it was all over and I was going home, I found that I was ill at ease with the racing footrests on Baby. Apernieeee?!?!? Less than two hours on standard footrests and I can't take racing footrests already? I was like, Eh asal kena tonggeng banyak sangat? Terrible. It eased after a couple of junctions though, thankfully.

Hello.

Yesterday morning I was talking to Spinelli's guy as usual. [I actually know his name now, but I refuse to use it.] He is, by the way, 34 years of age. How old is that? That's like fourteen years older than me! When I was born, he'd prolly already started smoking! Haha. Anyway whatever. The point is, I love talking to him and he really shakes my Monday blues away. Smalam it was something about clubbing and riding and Ramadhan.

I told him I won't be seeing him for a month, which means about eight mornings, and isn't that so sad?!?!



MBBs were spotted in Megabites as usual. But Khai wasn't there so I didn't really bother. And we had a nice late lunch [we not including MBBs, duh], with dessert and everything, and Lonerguy is STILL cute! Amazing.



I'm soooo soooo sleepy because I was at A'an's place last night. On the way back, some annoying Toyota macam, refused to give way to me, lepas tu nak horn-horn kat aku to say hi! And he's like, 48 years old! Please, sadarlah diri sikit. I raised my eyebrows at him and went on my way. Sorry, I have no patience to deal with old farts yang tak sadar diri at three in the morning, who don't even want to give way to me in the first place.

But OMG I love Chinese lectures because Thomas is so cute.

I've been plagued by Cute Boy nightmares. It's crazy.

Yesterday I went for an utterly-useless 2A theory lesson. Suck-ups. There's one in every class, isn't there? I was sleepy and hungry and bored. When it finally ended I cabuted immediately. Then I realised there was a bike parked on the other side of the pavement, thereby blocking my way out. Unless aku nak back the bike out the steep slope. But soon this adorable boy appeared and started walking towards the bike, so I proceeded forward and asked him, "Lepas tak?" and he said no, it prolly wouldn't. And he hastened to move forward, leaving my way clear.

That was about the only exciting thing that happened all day. And also the only stranger I spoke to for the entire weekend. But he was cute. Probably barely nineteen though, by the looks of it. Pun bawak KR. Well, maybe I'll be seeing him around.

Such a beautiful day, but I'm in no mood to go out. I'm never in any mood to go out alone.

Yey I went out with Hanom just now. BC after eons, and everyone who's anyone is gone now, but one of the girls remembers us and she gives us 15% discount without prompting. So nice.

Loadsa cute guys here and there, but Hanom took the cutest one, so I settled for the thicker guys. Haha. Bodies, not body parts! [Don't get it? Takper.]

We were just sitting outside Topshop and this manjen dude comes up to the married-with-kid malay girl smoking next to us. He beckons her forward, and she obliges, stroller and all. Haha. Rupernyer he was collecting donations. While she donated, he turned to Hanom and me and said something like, "Hello, Red Riding Hood, oh sorry, it's Brown Riding Hood.. Donations?!?!" Irritation lasted a millisecond, only to be swept away by amusement. So I donated two bucks, just because he was so daring. When he was done with the three of us, he thanked us and left, pausing to BLOW A KISS at abovementioned married malay girl. "Shh.. Secret!" was his parting shot.

Semua macam shell-shocked. Then we laughed in a much-appreciated moment of camaraderie. HAHA. She was like, "Mampos kalau laki aku nampak.." and we laughed along. Later, when her husband showed up, I burst out laughing again and she actually said bye to us.

Some minahs aren't that bad.

Anyways, we watched Ratatouille, which was, as all Pixar films, fantastic. Hilarious like balls. And lovesloves the storyline, although imagine if that were communicated in real action. GROSS. And of course, Colette is super-cool with her purple-highlighted hair and hot bike. Plus she can cook. How all-empowering is that? I want to be Colette. But I hope I end up with a hotter boyfriend ah. And did anyone spot the coffin-shaped drawing room of Ego's? KLAKAR!

We are watching Bratz together right, Hanom?

Heart MBB.

That's my new password, HAHA.

Anyway it was such a perfect Tuesday because ALL my favourite MBBs were in Megabites. It was like, three-plus? The cute new one with blonde hair. Khai [of course]. And Farhan [tak se-cute, but OHWELL he smiles at me, i.e. friendly]. So I skipped part of lecture to hang out a little longer at Megabites and just look at the MBBs.

Well actually I was just looking at Khai. And the new guy. I'm sorry, but Khai is so adorable and macam mischievous-looking yet marginally baik-looking at the same time, I just macam, terpukau. Haha. BUT. I spotted a ring [macam gold] on his right ring finger!!! APERNIEEEEE. Is he MARRIED? Am I in crush with a married guy? Please murder me!

Anyway yeah he smiled at me, and macam, took a double-take when he first saw me. After that he was sitting with his back to me, but he kept turning around to look at entah-aper. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

And the cute new guy was facing me, and I swear he was attempting to take photos of us with his phone. But after that he flipped the phone around and took other innocuous gambars.

Farhan came last and the first thing he did was smile at me. Farhan is cute in a geeky way. But OMG it was like Hanom's first time seeing them la, and when Khai turned around, apparently she "got the shock of her life" because he's not cute. He SO is! He's just a little skinnier these days--prolly lost weight during the holidays due to stress from not seeing me [and Amy] around. Gahahahaha.




Yesterday I went to sign up for 2A. But shhhhh don't tell anyone. Tanak jinx it. It's bad enough I have a pending court case. But I am excited, nevertheless. Alah, kalau kena revoke pun, at least I got to get a feel of a big bike, right? It won't be a complete waste, so to speak.

After that was lunch at Secret Recipe, yums. Did you know that the fish and chips doesn't come with ANY sayur at all? It's like, they crafted it specially for me or something! Haha. Ended it off with a cheesecake, aku BODOH luper nak try the affogato. Next time, perhaps.

And store meeting at night. I really missed being in GB Building. And last time Rizal was just a CLC-in-training, now he's a full-fledged CLC! I used to be so in awe of him pasal dier macam cute and eloquent. And now.. Ah, how life has changed for us all. Hahahaha. Next Thursday is the first anniversary of my working at SB-LT. Totally, right? =D

Oooh and when I was on the way home from GB, around eleven, there was macam a fire, or some similar emergency, in the area. Three fire engines, one LF, couple of firebikes, LOADS of firefighters, some diverting the traffic away... It was heaven times two. Too bad aku takleh slow down or anything, otherwise I'd be creating another catastrophe for them to deal with.




Aaaaaaand, finally this morning on the way to school I encountered some mat of indeterminate age, who appeared to be either:
(a) following me to school and then changing his mind at the last minute, when I exited, or
(b) sengaja bersaing dengan aku all the way down ECP/AYE, to see who can corner faster, selit faster, move faster in general.
I swear! There were times I went far ahead of him, till I couldn't even see him when I turned around. Then somehow he would appear a couple hundred metres down the road. Or I'd be hanging back, then he would macam slow down, with continuous mirror-checking, until aku dah catch up. *confused*

Yup that's it! This morning I saw the two largest MBBs. TAK MAIN AH. Where's my Khai?!?! [Wow, mengada-ngada..]

Hi.

It hasn't been a terrific week or anything, but things to rejoice over:

1. Bye-bye P-plate on the 31st!!! Congrats Ain! I'm going to CDC this Wednesday, insya-Allah everything will go smoothly.

2. Wild Slumber Party at Hanom's crib on Friday night. Highlights include Underwear-Lastiking, Bra-Tossing, Pad-Throwing and a prank SMS to a random mat that went too far. Haha. Well, who knew he was having a dry season kan? We can't be held responsible for that.

3. Atikk's birthday celebration on Saturday night. Bunch of cute rider mats at Al-Ameen Bukit Timah, and after that some of us went KTV-ing. Farid, Jambang's friend, has the best effortless voice in the entire world. I want to be his girlfriend so I can listen to him serenade me every night, how's that?

4. Sunday was Aliyah's wedding and my first design wedding. Don't hate me, dak-dak cutting, but it's all so macam, cliched and contrived! And everyone's shirts look the same, regardless of design group! Plus, you can hardly read the stylised words anyway. Then I decided to imagine my mom's face if I told her to prepare for a design wedding, and I couldn't stop laughing.

5. This morning I chatted to Spinelli's guy as usual while someone else made my latte. He really really really brightens up my day. No, I'm not in love with him, thanks. But it's macam nice to have someone to talk to and exchange pleasantries with and stuff. He was talking about how I don't need braces, cos to him I look just fine or whatever. How nice.
