Wrestling

last nite i went to ipoh utk jemput my hardbound report. on the way balik tu, my friend bwk nenek makan kt nashmir, riverfront restaurant (which is very nice of him. nenek rs terharu because the day before i did said to him that i would like to eat in the restaurant).

dekat restaurant tu, adela dia psg citer wrestling. so i was kind of annoyed la because apasalla restoran mamak mesti bukak samaada citer AF, bola atau gusti. saja. takde pilihan lain ke? bukak la chanel AXN ke apa ke. sonokla sket.

the thing is, i really really dont get wrestling. i mean, u know it was staged act. and yet u still ENJOYED watching that horrendous act? dah la tak reti belakon. lagi mau nk belakon. i was quite surprise when i heard the rock belakon but some people say he can really act. but no, i never watch any movies featuring him (as the lead actor… my… horror…) or any wrestling stars, for that matter.

and really, how can people regard the gruesome things like that as entertainment? bergaduh tu kira entertainment ke? and american regard themselves as the most civilised people on earth. sheesh… but then, what can u expect from a bunch of paranoid people who always think they have to prove themselves as powerful by beating other people up?

Welcome Back to UTP

nice…. at last after i enjoyed myself having no exams (and getting payment for that), i at last have to drag my lazy ass to UTP. bila teringat keadaan UTP yg panas dan gersang, rs2 cam tamau balik dh. but then i remembered all the dearest friends yg lama tak jumpa, so jd bersemangat la plk. but before that, i have to pick my things yg nenek tgglkan kt rumah bapak sedara nenek di ulu kinta. the problem is, i forgot the way to go to his house. add to the problem, my uncle was outstation and not expected to be here until next week and my auntie jadi guru pengiring for her rombongan sekolah to some place that have no phone coverage. my cousin supposed to be home but when i called his house, he was not in. haaaa… dlm keadaan ni, nk tya sapakah?

so, dengan memori berkarat yg nenek pun ingat-ingat lupa, nenek bg je la direction kt atok. tp dh nama pun ingat2 lupa, so byk la salah masuk simpang. yg atok plk dok membebel kt nenek sbb jalan nk g rumah bapak sedara yg selalu pegi tu pun leh lupa. "tu la…org bwk g jln, dia g tido. celik mata je dh sampai. caner nk igt jln g rumah…" bla bla bla bla…. but then, i think he really cannot blame me for forgetting the way.

i mean… come on… i’m a girl! i have bad sense of direction. i dont have built-in navigator like the guys do. i remembered that we should lalu sunway city before we found the simpang. and that simpang have lots of small kedai-kedai. but atok tak puas hati gk. "awk ni sepatutnya kena igt land mark yg strong sket. ini igt pokok tu bentuk camni la, kedai tu byk kt situ la. klu sekali pokok kena tebang, kedai kena roboh, dh gelabah tak igt simpang mana". true to his word, kitorg jumpa the right simpang. yes, of course it has lots of small kedai but he pointed out what supposed to be the "strong" landmark. "tu masjid tu. itulah sepatutnya landmark yg awk kena igt". oh yeeess… i NEVER perasan yg ada masjid kt situ! hahaha…

then, bila dh sampai kt gate berek polis, the guard ask us where we want to go. i said that i wanted to go to my uncle’s house. i said his name is sekian-sekian. then dia tya rumah dia blok mana. i had ANOTHER mental block. i dont know what block his house is. i told him i’m not sure but i know its somewhere back there. dan dan tu jugak nenek kena jeling kt atok. at last of course guard to bg masuk tp kena bebel lg. "awk ni lain kali igt la blok rumah tu mana satu. ini igt ‘blok belakang-belakang sket’. awk igt satu je ke blok ‘yg belakang2 sket’ kt sini?" and he continued driving while something else struck me hard. ALL the blocks look the same and i’m not sure mana satu rumah dia. nenek dh seram dh. ni mesti kena bebel lagi sekali ni…

when i admit that i dont remember which block, atok dh naik moody and i was quite afraid to tease him when he was in that condition. after half and hour circling the blocks, finally i heard my cousin calling my name. Ya Allah, tak leh cakap caner lega hati nenek bila dh jumpa rumah pak sedara nenek. bila dh angkut semua barang, muka atok still toya and i felt very guilty because memenatkan dia. ye la, dh la belanja nk balik sumer dia tanggung, jadi driver sukarela nenek plk lagi, then i compound that dengan memenatkan dia lagi. but as sweet as he is, he never hold grudge to me. dgn muka toya tu, he hold my hand. somehow, after three years i’m with him, i know when he hold my hands while he was still mad at me, its his way of saying that "dont worry… i’m not mad at you."

bila dh sampai utp, ANOTHER problem accur. instead of my name yg kt slot sepatutnya, it was filled with some other name. my friends kata dia dh booked kan bilik tu utk nenek. when i checked in the computer, my name was not in the database. and then i called my supposed-to-be roommate and she was equally baffled when someone else entered the room. but then i asked the RC people to just put my name in any room because i wanted to have a talk with this girl and if she agreed, switch our room. kira macam nenek dh bookingkan bilik baru utk dia la.

after some ‘discussion’ (sbb that girl looks cool over the mix up, its her BOYFRIEND yg nmpk cam bengang) we agreed to just switch rooms and solve the matter about the names at the appropriate room tomorrow. several days later, that girl texted me saying that the fellow didnt allow us to switch room, even though kitorg tukar suka sama suka. and he asked us to switch room balik. nenek mmg rasa what the fuck la this fella. i mean, antara just liquid je our names and switch them, dia lagi prefer utk keep the names and we hauled all our things and switched rooms. that guy really dh pts wire. to those UTPians, i’m sure u know who am i talking about here because this fella is the talk of the century. it really seems that this guy is the kind that you love to hate. i mean, u can’t help it. u just hate him. he is the power-sucker who love to do something ridiculous to other people "just because he can". my God…thank goodness he’s not a policeman or worse, politician. klu tak, mmg dh cacamarba Malaya ni…

At Last…

at last, my last day in plc international… i cant really say what i’ve felt on the last day though. if i say, i felt completely natural, i might come across as cold-hearted bitch. but really, as some of my friends would know, i am lampi. so whatever feeling that i SHOULD feel that day, i felt it much… much… later. namely today. sekarang ni barula nk rs sedih and sayu. like… WTF. haha…

i heard rumors yg kata ada farwell party for me yg makan2 tu, so i was like…. yay! free lunch! but since i took 2 days early leave, so i guess tak jadi la. in the end, i brought them american chocolate cake. some of them LOVE the cake but the older ones kata terang2 kt muka nenek that they dont like chocolate cakes. aiyoh…sgt terasa okes… i mean, ye la…my bad for thinking using MY tekak instead of theirs. nxt time, nenek akan beli according to majority taste. (klu ada la nxt time. haha)

i get a wonderful facial from kak liya and kak nurul. ok, correction. kak liya je yg buat facial tu. kak nurul is more like a narrator je. dia tolong explain step by step to the fascinated audience. they do it well that i think they already acquire new regular-client-will-be sbb dgr2 cam one of my housemate nk wat EVERY MONTH facial dgn diorg. and seriously, if next time nenek turun kl and find out that her skin have improved, i will definitely nk wat gak!

and the most interesting part is, i’m gonna karaoke-ing today! pegi dgn bdk2 satu rumah je. nothing too kinky or wild, if thats what u think. somehow, 8 months i’m here tak cukup to turn me into a wild girl. tak sempat nk culture shock pun even though i had my fair share tgk ‘pemandangan biasa’ di kuala lumpur.

cuma satu perkara yg nenek tak sempat nk buat is to enroll in the make-up class. do you know that girls in kl are very beautiful? their make-up are just like the one u saw in tv ad or magazines. professionally and immaculately done. i wish i can make-up like that also. but i understand, klu ada bda yg nenek tak dpt buat, mebi its not good for me anyway. i heard these words somewhere yg stated that ’sometimes the things that we like is not necessarily good for us. and the things that is good for us is not necessarily something we like’. so i guess, mebi its not good for me. mebi its not time for me to try that out yet. or mebi…. i’m already beautiful. tayah nk improve apa2 lagi dh…. hahaha…

Voices

guys, do any of you know who’s the voice behind the nescaffe jingles on the radio? the lyric goes like this

Suatu pagi, pagi yang indah

Satu aroma, segar buka mata

Satu hirup ah! deria terjaga

Bahagia terasa…

wanna one nescaffe 5x

i think the voice is very nice one. something that i describe as "clear and crisp" voice. in fact, klu nenek pandai nyanyi, i long to have voice just like hers. bukan cam siti nurhaliza. bukanla nk kata suara siti tu tak sedap. but her voice is extremely popular that it became…errr…common. everybody wanted to imitate siti’s voice that they have no identity whatsoever. latest example is Mila AF5 - Bagaikan Mutiara tu. first time i heard the song, i thought it was by siti. but i thought "Apsal sora siti tak konsisten dlm lagu ni?" then my little sister said it was Mila who sang it, not siti. hmmm…budak AF…patutla pun…

terlanjur citer psl AF, i remembered something. last saturday, i went to Konsert Kementerian Pelajaran. yeee… i went to konsert. hahaha. tp konsert yg sangat sangat sangat la bersopan santun sbb dress code nya adalah formal ye. we have to wear baju kurung.

konsert tu sebenarnya diadakan setiap tahun. yg menjayakannya 100% org kementerian pelajaran. that means, students from all over malaya, teachers, staff et cetera et cetera. i have no expectation when i heard that they (students, teachers, staffs) will gonna to perform - sing, dance. playing musical equipments… OK. I lied. of course i thought its gonna turn out at least mediocre because they are totally…amatuer…

then bila derang start perform…my…i was impressed! i mean, they were very good! suara masing2 i think were better than the AF finalists. i was surprised to find that i actually enjoyed their amatuer performance better than the more established concerts. this was waaaay better than the AF concerts. (not that i ever foolish enough to go to AF concerts. nk tgk kt tv pun mls. hahaha)

bila kuar dr stadium negara tu, i felt…puas! the kind of feeling yg buat kn korg have that little smile stuck on your face that u cant seem to wipe it off. haaaa…gitula hebatnya derang. anyway…my cousin who perform in that concert (brass band SMK Victoria) - u rock man! best la ko ye dpt salam dengan Agong. sayang along tak bwk kamera, klu tak, along sure amek gambar ko….
