Summary of my life in the past week:
Thursday – After our finals exam, Daniel, Divo, Shiv, and I watched Breaking Dawn at Sunway Pyramid, on the day of it’s release itself! (: Kinda felt weird though, cause I usually watch the Twilight movies with Pei She, Hui Yi, and Ying Ying. But I didn’t really have a choice, because we seriously had nothing else to do after our paper, which ended at 10.30am, so there was no way we would just go home right away, and this was the only movie we all wanted to watch. The movie wasn’t that good in my opinion, compared to the book, I mean. Yes, people, I read the whole Twilight saga. Deal with it! I miss Edward’s hair back in the first movie ): Robert Pattinson looked hotter back then! *sigh* After I walked home from Sunway Pyramid, I watched another movie, One Day, starring Jim Sturgess (another yummy Brit) and Anne Hathaway, and I kept weeping and sobbing like a fool. GO WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN’T YET! Anyways, yeah, I was in my emo phase at the thought of me being officially done with college now that finals is over, that was why I was watching depressing movies. Heh.
Friday – Daniel picked me, Shiv, and Divo up from our house and we went to Batu Caves. Why? Well, because we were bored. It was actually my first time exploring Batu Caves, yes, yes, I know I failed as a Malaysian. Surprisingly, there were more Chinese there than Indians. The monkeys scared the crap outta me. One tried to grab Shiv’s leg, while another tried to snatch Daniel’s bottle of water away from him, while Divo and I just kept running away from them. Don’t look at me that way, okay! The monkeys were aggressive! They were hissing at us! ):
Saturday – Pei She, Hui Yi and I went to Methodist College in KL to watch Ying Ying’s musical, Ramu and Chu Lian. My mind was blown away when Ying Ying came on stage with a hip-hop star’s look and started rapping to Nicki Minaj’s “Super bass”. Hah! Ying Ying was such a scene stealer, as always, and never shy to make a fool out of herself on stage. :’) Glad to see that she hasn’t changed one bit at all! I actually enjoyed myself that night, and I was impressed that the students of MCKL actually came up with the whole play all by themselves, even the scripts! Kudos to them! (: And dayummm, they have quite a few really talented singers there at MCKL. When this one dude started belting out his rendition of The Script’s “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved”, I turned to HuiYi and said, “I wanna marry his voice!” Haha.
Sunday – I was actually having quite a pleasant one-on-one time with my beloved laptop when suddenly, I saw this post on Facebook.
Apparently, Shiv got me an early birthday present already. I didn’t know how to react to this, and still don’t , to be honest. Yeah, sure, it has always been a dream of mine to attend a Foster The People concert, since I’ve been a fan of theirs before I’ve even begin my college studies, so I should be super stoked about this gift… but I’m not? Okay, maybe I am, heck, no, scratch that, of course I am elated! Without realizing it, I have been replaying FTP’s record non-stop for a few days now. But it isn’t all 100% pure joy of happiness though. I’m also feeling frustrated, worried, guilty, and a tad bit mad. I’ve told her a billionth time before that I do not want her to spend so much money on me, and she didn’t listen to me. The ticket is worth RM169. Heck, I don’t think my parents have given me a gift worth that much before in my whole life. I’m the kind of person who would be grateful to receive an ang pau with a RM50 note in it from mom and dad. True story. I’m mad at my brother as well, because he knew that she was gonna buy the ticket, and he didn’t stop her. I mean, I had already planned to get the ticket myself, that was the whole point of me skipping the CIMP graduation ceremony, so I can save up the cash to get the ticket. He told me, “Just accept it, it’s a gift… You spent your time helping her and stuff, and now this is her way of repaying you back.” That got me a little more riled up because I felt as if I was a gold digger. Both of them had missed out on the whole point. I do not expect, and do not want her to get me a gift just because I’ve helped her a lot, or else that wouldn’t be called a gift, but a reward instead. But my brother read me like an open book as he said to me, “Bullshit. You’re not mad because of this. You’re just mad because you won’t be able get her a better birthday present than this.” Ugh. Which is partially true. Like, how is it possible to beat a gift like THAT?? But, all I gotta say to that is, I love a good challenge, so… Challenge Accepted!
Monday – The Big Bad Wolf Aftermath Sale was held in South City Plaza, Serdang, and all books were sold at the price of RM5 or below. Of course, the bibliophile in me wanted to take this opportunity to fill up the empty spaces on my book shelf (even though I still have plenty of unread books left), but I had no idea how to get to Serdang. So, on Monday morning, EeLaine picked me up from college in her car, rocking her sunglasses, looking so cool and all, and with me riding shotgun. Haha. We stopped by her place for a while, and I got to meet her adorable dog who just seemed to love to stay on my lap the whole time I was squatting down. :B
Then, we took the LRT to Sri Petaling. We almost got lost on the way there, because we had to take a transit train and everything, but it was all good though, it was still kind of a fun experience. Haha. I just wanna say that thank God Eelaine was there with me, because if I was alone at that time, I think I would have probably given up the whole idea of the trip and just take a cab home or something already. You know, I always thought that girls’s sense of direction is bad, but not EeLaine. Woah. She seems to know how to get to places and everything and she tried to explain to me where we were at and all, but I just gave up on listening because I know that it won’t stay in my head for long. I think I would probably be the kind of girl who heavily depends on a GPS to get to places in the future once I’ve gotten my driving licence. Haha. At Sri Petaling, EeLaine’s friend, Jason Lioh drove us to South City Plaza and then we spent about an hour there shopping for books. I got 5 titles, which are The Keepers of Truth by Michael Collins, The Cider House Rules by John Irving, Love is Strange by Joseph Connolly, Evening is the Whole Day by Preeta Samarasan, and Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup. I would have gotten more books, but I asked myself, “Do these books really seem interesting, or am I getting them just because it’s cheap?” So, I put a few books back. See? I don’t have to worry about being a shopaholic in the future, since I’m such a rational person. xD
After that, Jason took us to Sri Nirvana Maju at Bangsar to have banana leaf rice for lunch. (Pic: http://twitpic.com/7kz04j) And we also went to the Star Wars Lego exhibition in Bangsar Village. (Pic: http://twitpic.com/7kz7rb) All in all, I had a really fun day, although I was dog-tired and had a really long nap afterwards. Hah! But November 28 was a historical day for both EeLaine and I, because it was the first time in our life that we had lunch with each other, after being friends for 5 whole months! :’) Lol.
