Reporting In…

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Greetz y’all… well, I’m gonna report in before I fall into a comatose state due to overeating. Current mantra: "Eat first, think/work later."

Day 1:

Reached at 9.18pm. Grinning like a mad person and teary-eyed when i was on Penang Bridge, and looking at the beeyewtiful skyline of mah lavly island.. Aww… Reached my Kapitan Keling nasi kandar stall at 10pm.. but it was closed. So i turned around the corner, to Kapitan’s for tandoori chicken.

Time: 10.15pm

Ate: Garlic cheese naan, the best tandoori chicken u can ever get ur hands on..2 teh tariks

Hung around til 11pm and whizzed back to Kapitan Keling Mosque.

Time: approx. 11.15pm

Ate: Rice, fried chicken gizzard, ikan goreng gulai, beef rendang, limau ais

Then went home to sleep and pig out on television (YAY! TV!!). Jakun-ness I know…

Day 2:

Woke up late, then went to see my grandma. She needed me to buy something, so i happened to chance upon my fave hawker centre in Island Glades.

Time: 7pm

Ate: Char Koay Teow (large, duck egg, extra everything..yum), rice and granma’s cooking (my fave steamed pork with salted egg, vege, fish)

Then had to rush home, to meet parents for dinner.

Time: 8pm

Reached home… watched DVDs… and cooked a double cheese burger.

Finished watching the DVD… and went out for yummy nasi dalca with lamb kurma, papadums and bendi at Kassim Mustafa, Pulau Tikus.

Day 3:(scared yet?… or just plain hungry?)

Went to cari my best friend, who incidentally stays near a great Curry Mee stall.

Time: approx. 4pm

Ate: Curry mee, with additional sambal sotong, fresh sotong, tau pok, prawns and char siew,extra chilli and lavly see koh thng.

After that, went jalan-jalan in Gurney Plaza, looking at clothes, but all the while, me calculating mind was thinking.. "where to go? what to eat? where to go? what to eat?" sorry Lay Hoon.. I was also thinking abt our conversation la, of course. Hehe.. Girls’ minds.. and multitasking. Yeah!

Then, our stomachs rumbled. Hehe.. time to go!

Time: 8pm

Ate: @Bee Hooi.. O CHIEN, CALVIN!! HAHA! chicken broth and koay teow thng.

Got home, and after awhile.. me dad says he wants to go eat capati.

so we ended up at Gurney Drive Khaleel.

Ate: Rice, yummy fish curry, deepfried bittergourd, ladies fingers, teh tarik

A Beautiful Life - Part 2

Friday, June 10th, 2005

Drink Drink Drink..
Smoke Smoke Smoke..
Average 2-3 btls of whisky & 14-16 packs of ciggies a week.

Wish i could just forget..

Freaky wei..my hands were shaking so badly these past few days, I couldn’t even hold my blade straight to do my work. Went to see a doctor.. took a blood test.. It’s either hyperactive thyroid glands.. (which she said was highly improbable) and most probably, an anxiety attack. WtF?? She gave me anti-anxiety pills to take.. Which really work! Not supposed to take alcohol widdit, but…. knowing me and my self-destructive person.

Sigh…

Current songs in my mind :

Mr. Lonely - Akon (never fails to make me cry…..stupid lovely song)
Lovefool - Cardigans (Fool me…go on and fool me, Love me…pretend that you love me)
Ragdoll - Maroon 5 (my theme song!)
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5 (made me think of someone, but it was all so stupid. SIGH..)
Behind Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson (Here I am, once again, torn into pieces, can’t deny it, can’t pretend, i thought you were the one…)
Almost Doesn’t Count - Brandy

Crap.. I’m turning into this depressed (wait, I memang depressed..), lonely, heartsick person.

This friend in my class and I agree on this crappy theory which pretty much applies to lotsa people.

When you love someone so much, you’re so mad at them. But yet, you just want to hear their voice over the phone. And when they keep away or ignore you, you miss them even more.
Unrequited love sucks doesn’t it?

That’s why.. never ever ever love.

But even if that someone doesn’t love you back.. you don’t mind, as long as he calls, or msgs and is still in your life.

Is it stupid? *sigh*

Well.. gotta go. Got loads of assignments to do.. and my best friend, Mr.J.Walker’s waiting.. HAha..

A Beautiful Life

Life’s so fucked up.
When you can’t get something, you want it so badly. And when you finally get it, it isn’t so great after all.

I recently learnt a few lessons of the matters of the heart, thanks to some.

Lesson is: Never have heart. Never love. Never think that someone loves you back. Its a fucking lie. Love makes you vulnerable and strips your soul bare. And people just love taking advantage of that.

Lesson 2: “We’re all unique” that’s another fucking lie they feed to us so that psyschologists have jobs.

Lesson 3: Never trust anyone. They’ll only mess up your life and screw you after they’re done.

In a moment, great memories haunt and hurt.

In a flash, love brings heartbreak and tears.

And everything comes rushing back.
Smells, touch, songs, places,words, experiences intensify. But only for me.

Whereas, the other person is just enjoying life the way its always been. Thanks.

Another funny thing.. when you think you’re so numb from the bitterness of life, that you can’t cry anymore, someone has to come along and prove you wrong.
Thanks again.

“Lonely.. I am so lonely.. I have nobody.. For my own..”

My beautifully fucked up life.
