Met up with Pinky and Pammy-poo just now, went for dinner nearby in TaiPan. Had dinner - char koay kak, popiah and hokkien char. It was okay la, we all can never rid ourselves of the lovely Penang food we grew up eating, and it was my only meal of the day. Knowing me, having that incoming dastardly month of the time :), I eat and eat and eat. Came home, was still hungry, but nothing to eat! Made some milk and oats and now I feel bloated and sick. *ergh* Watched Sydney White and now, while waiting to watch the rest of Boy’s and Girls’ Guide To Getting Down, i decided to blog a lil.

Sydney White is your typical corny, predictable teen flick with the dorky girl, hot guy, mean bitch and weird guys thrown in with some sorority pledging, frat parties and misunderstandings and of course, the happy ending. But I have to say, Matt Long (the main guy) is so super cute! He looks like a younger, not so smirking Josh Duhamel. And this other guy, Jack Carpenter, he’s cute too! *lol* I think, judging those highschool kids has infected me with some schoolgirl-crush disease. Mana tau, already so old konon.

So yeah, after dinner, Pinky goes, let’s ‘adjourn’ to Starbucks, and ‘adjourn’ we did. Again, cute guy at the counter - and the friendly girl nicely drenched my macchiato with tons of caramel. *yum* OOH. I get Venti’s for Grande prices now. I think the baristas at Borders pity me coz I look like I have no where better to go. -.-

So now, the menu for Pinky’s thing has become more exciting, and so have the games. Best part, Ian’s mom started laughing, when we were discussing it at home (the Taipan Starbucks closes damn early - 12, and Pammypoo thinks all Starbucks are 24hours.lol. Pam..pam…). She said, "24 years old and you guys are playing games?" Lol. She doesn’t know the amount of joy we derive from torturing people with seemingly deceptive-looking games… We, I am proud to say, MGSians from Penang, are absolute MASTERS at torture. I think we inherit it from the spirits of the Japanese soldiers who (supposedly) stalked our school, which back then, was a convent/safe house by the missionaries. HAH.

Which brings me to all those ragging events, the crazy games and especially, the end of the year, where teachers would give us a whole day off, and each activity club would come out and we’d have a field day in the school. Noone was spared. I think, the teachers foresaw uncontrollable violence in us girls, so leaving the school aka cancelling classes was the safest way to go. This day would start off by each club and their seniors giving a hard time to the juniors. And then, basically, the whole school became a battlefield.

Man, I kena what ar? One of the worse ones was, eggs, flour, mud in my face and worst of, my hair. By the time I went home, after all those hours chasing down people in the heat, I was literally walking around school with a Cake as a head. Took me a whole day to just get the big chunks out. Them war-whoops would make any boy pee his pants.

Some people ask me, when I recount all this, "are you sure you’re from an all-girls school?" or even when I do certain things that most normal (maybe CITY) girls don’t/can’t do, I go like, "Hello! Everyone in my school does this. I think I’m milder in fact! You should meet Pinky and Pam!" lol.

There was this one time, when I was still in TOA, when Eelyn and Rex came to Penang to visit. So ngam ngam, I had an invitation from Pinky to go back to school and play floorball with our juniors. Sounded great! Ok, to be fair to Eelyn and Rex, I didn’t tell them anything so they gamely came along in their pretty sandals and were also dragged up hiking Penang Hill in those same sandals. Looking back, I musta been a meanie. Anyways, we reached my school gym, and it was pretty much going on already. Flopped down on those musty mattresses, we sat down and watched. I was getting EXcited!! YAY!! Then, the round finished, time to switch players. I jumped in, played amateurly a bit (juniors were more lenient and gave face to the seniors - maybe coz we looked older and more fragile kua) and then, before I knew it, I was sweating like a pig, and the round was done!

Stayed for the next one, and I came up to Eelyn and Rex. "Hey guys, wanna play?? There’s space for you guys.. Cmon it’ll be fun." Silence greeted me. Along with Wide Eyes. "NOooOoooo…. are you CRAZY?????? You guys are friggin VIOLENT!!!"  oh-kay. never had anyone say that about us before. hahaha..

looking back, those were the best times ever. E-V-E-R!

evereverevereverever…

I’ll never forget that.
