Tomorrow never comes until it's too late.

Today I hung out with the Chem boys [Alfian, Azlan, Naufal] at the Milo truck after lecture and among other topics, we talked about tunang, marriage and the future. It was weird, but fun! Haha.

Oh I watched Step Up 2 The Streets the other night, did I mention? It's fantastico. And I can't wait till Cathay DE opens so I don't have to travel so far just to watch a movie. Well, technically I don't travel to watch the movie, I'm usually already there, but STILL. At least I won't have to travel home. Cos I'd be home! Practically. 

No more lab reports for the week so I'm FREE on Sunday! I think I'll book a class. Yey!

Oooh ooh. Okay I love love love the HK cafe at Simpang Bedok! It's hebat! I'm not generally a fan of HK food or anything, but really really the food and prices rock. The service is great, and they have two TVs, with TV3, no less! They play Warna or Ria, I can't remember, and they have a packet of tissues for your use, as well as free-flow chilli padi and chilli jeruk and whatever chilli you can think of. We started off with a bowl of noodles each and ended up ordering one side after another just because it was all so goooooooooood.

I can't wait to go back, I really can't.

You'll be at my graveside

We had another gamelan test today, and I happily finished first cos anyway Atikk's crush was sitting next to me, so distracting. I had to get out of there. After that I went to check out the KR thread after 83749824 years of signing up, haha! I was basically looking for more evidence, which I eventually found.

Anyways. After that I went to CDC for circuit revision. It was SO BAD because it just wouldn't stop raining! And omg Bahawdin loves to kacau me! When he came in [I'd seen him outside earlier with some road training people], he claimed that the way aku bawak motor is scary. He further accused me of blow-blowing, and making eyes at him! I DIED. Then he told Raime, and Raime was like, "Wah, really ah? Your KR what colour?" in front of SEMUA ORANG! Sungguh embarrassing. And this Bahawdin just wouldn't let it go, he continued to torment me until he finally had to take a lesson.

I felt like I was in primary school all over again.

PLUS, it rained like nobody's business! I have found out that my beloved Aeroblade [which all the instructors have, hehe!] is not infallible after all. Sedih. My matching red-and-white Vans were soaked to the core. They became 1.5 times as heavy by the time I got home. The E-brake area was a paddy field, and the first few times I just bypassed the bumpy course altogether. But Alhamdulillah, I did not fall. I came close though.

And BP asked me, "What bike you ride? Oh KR ah? Wah so fierce! Then ride KR how come scared to go bumpy course?" HAHA. He's so cute.

I SO wanted to go for a class today but the rain and all.. I mean, why risk my life to lose maybe 30 grams? Haha. So I stayed home and slept. Tomorrow I'll be going. Yey! I know this costs me a hundred and fifty buckeroos each month, but it's SO FUN! My body's already aching gloriously from yesterday's boxing. MORE PLEASE!

Until the break of dawn

Today it was raining like balls again. But I rushed to store anyway, cos I had this stupid theory that it might get heavier [it didn't]. I also thought I'd be relatively dry in full raingear. I was wrong. Along Commonwealth or thereabouts, I was in the second lane going pretty slowly behind a Z4. There was another car next to me in the first lane. SUDDENLY, I got splashed BIG-TIME by the car next to me!

I'm not talking the kiddy-splash around your legs there, this one splashed me right in my face [well, the visor anyway], and my whole entire body got drenched. I was blinded for a full second because I couldn't see through the water splashed on my visor. I am a slow-reacter, so when I could see again, I screamed. EEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Of course, no one could hear me. I prolly looked crazy, with my mouth wide open aje. The driver of the car macam, glanced at me worriedly, prolly thinking I was gonna blame him, but I understand that he didn't know about the enormity of that puddle. Anyways he wasn't even speeding, we were going at the same speed. So. It's okay, Uncle!

Also, really glad I wasn't following the Beemer too close, cos can you imagine if during that one second of blindness, I'd crashed into him? There'd be hell to pay. Literally.

 

Well. Enough of that. At store, I was doing some work before my class started. It started raining heavily again, so this little boy and his mother and younger brother shared the table with me. I didn't mind, cos the boy [he's six] was so cute, he was asking about my camera necklace [a real talking point, that one], and demonstrating the properties of the strong magnets he was playing with. SO ADORABLE. In between layaning him, I chatted to his mother about Singapore and how they're settling in here.

WHY does my best CDR have to happen when I'm NOT on shift?

 

I went for boxing with Hanom, our first time and OMG, it was murder, murder I tell you! I wanted to run out like halfway through the workout. I felt like I was doing hellish P.E. all over again. But afterwards I felt satisfyingly worn out. Yey! Kalau aku smangat maybe I'll try it again next week. I like May even though she's a sadist. Haha. She said, "Do come regularly so I can torture you again.."

I bought a Ferrari today!

Woohoo! I'm trying out the Windows Live Writer, it looks fun.

 

Anyways I was isi-ing minyak just now, it came up to more than twenty bucks balls! [That's cos I let it run to reserve and stuff, but STILL! I'm totally considering switching to 95 now.] Well there weren't too many people inside, so I took the opportunity to press the "Engine Sound" button on the Ferrari display. And the auntie smiled and said, "You want to buy?" so I said, "I where got pump so much fuel!"

She told me that the guy who went before me qualified for the offer, but dier tanak beli the car, so I could buy it as his privilege. Of course, I said yes! I got myself the 575 GTC for $5.95. So cute! Totally in a good mood, and I didn't have to waste fifty bucks after all!

At work on Friday, there was this man who ordered a brewed coffee from Diana. She was R1 and I was running R2. Aleh-aleh the man shouted, "Yah, I want milk and sugar! Put everything! Everything!" I was a bit spooked out, but I decided that he's just some excited new customer, first time try Starbucks [that's what he said].

Si Diana giler, malas nak layan, just added milk and instructed him, "You walk straight, turn to the right, the sugar is there. Brown sugar, white sugar, Sweet 'N Low, all have."

I wanted to laugh but I was still in shock from his loudhailer voice.

Fifteen minutes later, from a table where he was sitting alone, Loudhailer shouted a collection of prose filled with angry profanities, mostly directed at.. ENTAH? We all stared in shock. But I dunno, being Singaporeans, we ignored him.

Suddenly he shut up and calm prevailed.

But later he started up again! Something about "don't be racist, we all walk side-by-side, fuck you!" if I remember correctly. Zul called in Security while the American dude who was waiting for his coffee commented that he'd never seen such antics in Singapore before. I was like, "Yeah, it's my first time." He laughed and said, "It happens every day in New York!"

Well, I wouldn't survive in New York then. Excuse me for living but I like my peace and quiet.




Oh I was going home that night and I stopped at the traffic light in front of Lido. There was a small Pooh bear lying on the road. So I put the sidestand down, got off, picked it up, and stuffed it into the bubble. It's like having a riding companion. I'm just gonna leave it there. Wonder how long it'll be before it's gone.

Bye bye Studio 1!

  In 2018, I was heading to Zumba class when I saw "The Brass Barre" printed on the directory of the same building. Immediately in...
