When Someone Shops
There was like this massive jam which clotted up traffic on Saturday!! Absolutely enormous!! Apparently, it was caused by this mishap on Penang bridge in the afternoon and resulted in a flow-on effect which lasted until midnight. I got stuck at Farquhar Street for like 30 mins when I passed by at 4.30pm!! But thank god I escaped before I got caught in it for good. Here are some pics of the jam at night in Pulau Tikus:
-Note : it's only supposed to be a single line on either side
- at a traffic light
-Note : it's only supposed to be a single line on either side- at a traffic lightYesterday (Sunday), I didn't do much except doin' some reading, watchin' some TV ... you know regular stuff. However, at night, Al kinda asked me to go out for a brisk walk by Gurney Drive, and so I did. But it turned ugly when he 'kidnapped' me and made it into a 'joy-ride' and we ended up at Bt. Feringghi. Sad...but true. I got home at around midnight! But I did manage to buy a few cd's though: Alanis Morrisette, Fergie and Gwen. Anybody interested to borrow them??
Today, I hung out with Gim Ming and Jeff. Movie Day. What did we watch (for free) you ask? Accepted of course. Not a bad show. Not so much a laugh-until-you-can't-control-yourself-and-wanna-suffocate-to-death kinda show but it makes you think of what you really wanna study in college and what you really wanna be when you grow up. For me: Well, i'd like to study something to do with food, fashion & trends and maybe architectural design. My dream job? An actor. I know it's a bit out there and I am the furthest thing from being an actor...but it's really my dream.
But the most amazing thing which happened today was when Jeff and I were shopping around. It happened all of a sudden and totaly out of the blue and everything. It was so unexpected: Jeff bought an item of clothing. Ya I know, anti-climax much but i'll tell you, this is the first time i've seen him buying clothes! Honest!! Rare occassion indeed and I have proof (inject sinister laugh):
- jaw dropping event
Other than that, I did manage to buy the new issue of...yes that's right: GQ December Issue!!!
Al least I have something to occupy myself with when i'm bored.

Gotta love the Mag!
The last couple of days have been the same for me, relax, relax and yes, relax. If you're thinking i'm just wasting my precious time away, well, you couldn't be more wrong. I completed an application to another university (RMIT) when I was at Inti yester, I managed to update myself by standing in bookshops of Gurney Plaza and flipping through magazines (that way, I don't have to pay for them) and i've even read a fictional novel and I plan to maybe read more if time permits me to do so.
Alright, back to the magazine thing. I absolutely love to read magazines! Love 'em to death!!! It's a bible which gets updated every other month and with so many different kinds. Men's Folio, GQ, Details...love 'em all!!! Thank god for their existance or else WHAT AM I TO READ!!! Magazines are like (and I quote) "a shinning beacon of hope."
All hail the carefully constructed flow of information and articles and the pictures arranged in such a way to tempt and tantilize. And they all converge in such a way as to become an all-inspiring book of wisdom handing out tips on fashion, style news and beyond! Okay, I'm exaggerating a little. But unfortunately, I certainly can't buy all of them and most of them come slightly pricey. Bummer. So, that's why I now prefer to go to some Popular or MPH bookstore and read them up without paying...and ooohh yeah, the air-conditioning's free too!
- The bible: random issues
Today I went to Prangin Mall for a little shop, shop, shop with Damien and Jeff. Nice to see Damien after so long. Chris was supposed to be there too but apparently he tried to call us several times but my cell was in my bag (so I couldn't hear it ring) and in the end, he kinda went home. Sorry 'bout that! But anyway, we did go here and there and looked for stuff to buy. But we only purchased some accessories and no clothes at all...sad right?
It seems to me that Prangin Mall is just not what it was like last time, when bargains were rife and everyone was bound to buy loads and loads. Sure, there are promotions a bit but most of the clothes were plain UGLY! You really gotta go through all of them to be able to find an item of clothing which suits you and it's really not even worth buying something not on sale since a brand new item from any non-branded store is priced about the same as an item of a better well-known brand (in terms of quality and style too).

Sharing
What is it? What's wrong with it? I recently had an outing with four other guys, in which I tried to share some...guy stuff, but only to be surprised with their prudish behavior (no offence). I thought sharing thoughts can be a life enrichening experiance.
I know girls do it all the time, but some girls have said that guys should try it out as well. I mean, what harm can it do. It might seem weird at first but once you get past this so-called phase, you kinda get the hang of it. But seriously, is it wrong to share? Not only do you get to get access to advice and solutions to your problems, you also get to know whether anyone else is experiancing the same things as you especially in your teenage years.
But, there is a limit of how much you can share undoubtedly. There is a line between sharing and scaring. You don't wanna share too much of your deepest dark secrets, unless you're looking forward to the demise of your own reputation.
But again, yah...sharing is great! You get to talk, you get to know each other more and you get to know yourself better. What's so bad about that!

Movie Day
Movie day was alright. Zhi Xiang, Ivan, Kah Whai and I watched Happy Feet. It was kinda like a last resort for everyone since all of us had conflicting interests on which movie to watch, but alas it was a win-win-win-win situation, hehe. Personally, I thought the movie was......cute. The animation was great and so were the songs and tap dancing! And I think the lesson they were trying to get across is not to eat fish (at least not those from Antarctica).
It wasn't such a great time as i'd expected it to be. Probably because most of the time was taken up by the movie and after that, Ivan headed back. Then, the three of us went for dinner and that was it. The time constraint didn't leave much stuff to do after all. I guess I just wanted to hang out with them longer. This blows! But i'm not saying it wasn't fun...at least I did get to see you guys!
Anyways, I still don't know which university I want to go to. They are so expensive and plus I gotta consider which one is better and all that, it's just to confusing. And my parents think it wouldn't be such a bad idea to go to the US after all since my sis is there already! I am like so close to freaking out right now.
Sometimes I wish I was a penguin, then I wouldn't have to go to university!

Can I be more SAD?
Since school's out, I figured what a more refreshing way to start the holidays but to give this baby a slight make over.
Anyways, i've decided to leave my future in the hands of my parents (since they are the ones having the education fund). But yeah, I think that's what i'll do to avoid stressing myself and worrying myself till i lose my marbles. All I have to do is to just pitch in my feelings and thoughts and questions from time to time. Sound good? Good.
Today, I was able to discover that Alvin does not know how to prepare hard boiled eggs :( I know right! But anyway, he did call up for help and I obliged. Not like I care as he basically just interrupted my very busy day of sitting around and doing absolutely NOTHING. Yes, that's right, I have nothing to do...You know it's like everytime i'm just waking up, eating...eat again...eat summore and then go to bed. And the cycle repeats itself. Can I be more sad?
I think i'll just have to enjoy this state of boring-ness and nothing-to-do-ness as much as I can before December comes, then the day they put up the damn Christmas tree passes by and then I might just end up in some educational facility regreting that all I did during the holidays is just to whine like I am doing now......so I won't anymore......I'll stop......right......yup, for the next few posts, i'll try to lay off the pessimism.

Call on me
Okay, So school's out. Exam's are over. Assignments are no more. And hanging out is inevitable...so why do i feel so hollow? Could it be that hanging out has become so ordinary? Could it be there are more exciting things to do than constantly chatting? It's caught me by surprise for good! What should I do for the next few weeks? It's not like i'm active in the computer game sector. It's not like anyone wants to follow me for a jog or rollerblade or cycling. I mean Ivan's working, Jeff's involved with camps, Zhi Xiang and Kah Whai...well I haven't actually asked them...Alvin's always busy with God knows what, Jeremy has breathing problems when it comes to physical activity, May is...well I don't really know what she's doing, Mei Zhi, Lee Xin, Wye Sern and Boon Yong are all across the bridge and others are all tied up with school and other commitments. WHAT SHALL I DO???
Okay, maybe it isn't so bad. I'm going out this Thursday and Friday! That's good. And maybe if I really am too unoccupied, I can always try to arrange like a trip across the bridge and experiance shopping and hanging out in Butterworth. Maybe I will.
Okay, apart from that, all i've been doing the past few days is just taking it easy, y' know. Sleep late at night around 1.00am or so and waking up late as well, like 11 or 12.00pm. Just chillin'. Letting myself enjoy the liberation after the major exams. But too much of nothing can be taunting, so if anyone wants to do smoething, sometime...call me!!! I guaran-damn-tee* that i'll be there!
* Note: the guarantee only applies if I am available and if I actually do wanna commit myself to the occassion. So, if you think about it, it isn't quite a guarantee at all. It's just me, using the word on impulse. I shall not be held responsible, should I not turn up during an event.

One more, just one more to go
T'day was another judgement day: Biology paper
It was not bad, according to me, but everyone else was like "oh my god, that was the most mind boggling paper i've ever sat through." But, who knows, the marking scheme might be more uptight than i expect, so i only can hope for the best. My last paper is chemistry on Friday. I can't wait to get it over with and yet i don't want this experiance to end.
Today, I went to Ivan T.'s house with the ever irritable Yong Ming. No offence, but if you're reading this, somethings are just so hard to say it to your face. Anyway, we bought a burfday cake for him coz' his b'day is tomorrow. I wanted it to be kinda like a surprise and give him the cake with all the candles and everything but SOMEONE didn't bring along a lighter!
That aside, I now have a proposal plan regarding my studies, which is possibly to acquire a skill first like baking or something in the cullinary profession and then once that's done, only will i continue with uni. It's still on the rocks but i thought it was a pretty good plan. Hey, Karen! I might be pursuing something relavent in your field!
Other than that, nothing's been going on...that figures, since it's exam season.
Shout-out:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Just 2 more
Three down and two more to go. I'm having m Biology paper this Monday followed by Chemistry on Friday and then it's freedom, baby!!! Yah, Just less than one more week to go. I'm so to face the papers and yet so anxious to just get it over with and get that burden off my shoulders. I have officially like 31 hours until my Biology paper starts and that includes sleep time and a whole lot of other stuff. Crap dee lah. I don't know how well i'll do this time. In Inti it's bad enough that I only got an average score and now I have to face the Australian marking scheme and god knows how strict or lenient they are.
On more happy thoughts, my plans to go holidaying in the States might actually be realised. Usually when my parents like have holiday plans, I tend not to get my hopes up too high to avoid getting dissapointed which in most cases, do happen. But things are looking good on this one. I hope to spend about a month there up till Christmas and probably New Years. Yah, the only thing is that our schedule have to be in sync with my sister's, coz apparently, she might be going to Belgium of something. Jeesh, it's been only like 3 months that she's been doing her job and she's already jet-setting. Kinda cool actually.
Halloween in Penang is BORING. Nothing special, no public events, no parties. And not only that, I spotted this pumpkin in Cold Storage priced at a freakin' RM230. Ka-Ching!!! I wonder who in god's name will buy that thing!?
Anyways, I got some photos from Mei Zhi of the BBQ/Farewell/Lantern festival party thing held at the Inti hostel a couple o' weeks back and here's one of them:
