Me = parents' driver ;D

Drove my parents to work, brought food out for mom, picked daddy up for lunch, sent him back to work, took them out for dinner, drove them home... wah.
sooks came by today, and we had a good time yakkin' and stuff. Unfortunately, our evening had to be cut short 'cause I had to head over to Jaya with dad. Like I said, me = driver. However, I much prefer this status over that of a passenger any day :P
Anyway, as I was saying, sooks and I spent a good two hours just yakkin' away, and she's redesigning my site for me, yay sooks! ;D I can proudly say that it takes me the least effort to revamp this site, simply because sooks usually does all the work for me, lol! Hey, I'm HTML-stupid, alright? No, scratch that. I'm 'puter-stupid. So sue me. *phbt!*
Lucky me to have a 'puter-savvy pal like sooks *twirls around* You're the best, sooks ;D *hug!* So yah, to all two of you, expect some ups and downs with the site for a while.

I actually got my password mixed up, and gave sooks the wrong one *smacks forehead!* Stupid, stupid... *bonks head against wall* Bah humbug. Sorry, sooks!

Sleepy.

Oh, you know what? I was swimming yesterday, and I found myself comparing swimmers in their lanes with cars on the highway, hiaks! *scratches head* I really don't know wtf is wrong with me. Too much of Driving 101 from dad and Audrey, maybe ;) I find that I'm much more confident at the wheel without constant instructions from Audrey and dad. True, they're both really experienced drivers (dad's been driving for 35 years, while Audrey's been at it for 8) but honestly now, the barrage of orders they dish out just makes me want to drive all the way to Tanjung Harapan and check myself in :P (Tanjung Harapan's the infamous local mental institute, hehe).

Haiyah, we deal. *grins*

Sharon left for .ca today. Have a safe flight, take care, and keep in touch, girl *hug* We miss you already.

It started to rain five minutes after I left the house, but I swam anyway, hiaks. Am so out of shape, ugh. I think the last time I swam was almost two years ago, eek. Blah.
It's been a great day. I quit my job, I swam, I drove around (no, not in circles, smartass! :P). And to round things off, Kayla, Di, Sarah, Shean Min, Sharon and Agnes are all online at the same time! *grins* Among other things, Shean Min just said he way gay and wished he was a woman (??), Kayla's starting work at the park next week, Sharon's back to her explicit self, Aggie's kinda silent as usual :P
Can you tell I miss these crazy people? heh. I do, I do.
Fatboy Slim's in Malaysia! *gasp!* Audrey's given me the choice of either seeing him perform, or catching the sneak preview of Scooby Doo. How ah? I'd love to catch Fatboy Slim in action, but I have a feeling the crowd's gonna be godawful. Pfft. Will let Audrey decide I guess.

I am finally unemployed, wee..!!

I know I know, I should be more than grateful for a job that pays so well, but thanks to my status with the university, I really do have to buckle down and get to work on my essays instead of earning money :P
Before I forget (as I'm liable to do), Happy Birthday Bronson! Sorry I couldn't make it last night; tiredlah. I would've offered to bake a cake for you, but since you don't like cakes, it saves me the trouble, no? *cheeky grin* Have a great day anyway. Ei sooks, tell me when you're free to yumcha :P
Yah, work's been mad, but I went to AS this morning and told my boss very politely that I wasn't coming back. It was off to downtown KL with dad after that to deliver some shoes.
Drove mom and dad to work before taking the car (ooh..!) to the now-defunct Valley Club, @#$^! I'd wanted to go swimming, and nobody told me the bloody club was closed, BAH. Came home and slept instead, hee. Driven by the sudden urge to swim, I headed to another public pool nearby, but it was closed too. This is just not my day, hmph.
Right, I'm gonna go back to the pool again and see if I can get a few laps done before it starts to pour. Wish me luck!

Aiyah, back already.

hehe.

I refused to wake up today, even though Sharon and I had planned to have breakfast before making our trip to the Kek Lok Si temple. Finally left the house 12-ish, and we bought even more souvenirs at Air Itam. I'm getting better at this bargaining thingie, hiaks! Bought a couple of wind chimes for mom, and Sharon picked up some chopsticks and tee shirts. Yes Kayla, I bought chopsticks for the house too ;D
We had a small mishap when leaving Air Itam: while backing out of the makeshift parking lot in a narrow alley, we managed to put part of the car into a drain, ahaha! Okay, it really wasn't that funny at the time, but it sure as hell strikes me as funny now, heh. Anyway, Sharon called her parents, but while we were waiting for the tow truck to show up, some very nice people stopped their bikes and helped carry the car out. We're ever-grateful to these wonderfully kind people :) It's nice to know that amidst all our complaints and cynical views of how many seem to carry about them an apathic air, there are still others who prove otherwise.
After our little 'adventure', we picked Kai up and had our last lunch surrounded by roadside stalls in Lorong Selamat. They saw me off around 3.40, and it was a long and slow bus ride back to KL, thanks to scattered showers throught the trip. Not that I noticed, really, since I slept most of the way back.

I think the only bad part of the trip was losing my sunglasses :/ I've only had them for about two weeks, and being the careless idiot that I am, I probably either dropped/left them somewhere, or someone picked my pocket. Pfft. At least I still have my cellphone and wallet.

I had so much fun :) It's nice to know that, even after not seeing each other for such a lot time (Sharon, anyway. I got to see Kai quite a bit, since he was closer geographically), we could pick up where we left off, and while we've grown up quite a bit, we really haven't grown apart.
Words are inadequate to express the kind of thanks required for a friendship that's beyond description. I suppose we're lucky that way, because words aren't necessary in the first place.

It's 3.40am and I'm sitting in Sharon's room, catching up on notes from deviantART, writing a little, and yakking away to Sharon while doing so.

I've had a fantastic time ever since I got here at 1am this morning; Sharon and Kai picked me up, and after sending Sharon home, Kai and I headed to a nearby mamak stall to catch up a little on news. We continued our conversation at his place, where we yakked till almost 4am. Didn't sleep till 6, and was up by 10. Sharon came by around 12, and we spent the rest of the afternoon cruising around Penang Island, finally settling in Gurney Plaza's Coffee Bean for the next 5 hours or so. Managed to catch a bit of the lion dance competition being held in the mall before we had dinner, speaking of old times and laughing at remembered first impressions, crazy jokes and dramatic turns in our lives. After raiding Ferringhi for cheap CDs and souvenirs for Sharon to bring back to Canada, we stopped by Gurney Drive for a drink before heading home.

I haven't written a stanza in ages.

Stanza of the Day:
I miss you
and the talks we used to have;
ramblings
of a shattered mind
that hid behind
a wall of cynical dreams.
I've lost all
and everything
except pride
that which inside
I stay: empty, hollow,
(the bitterness I swollow)
but safe.
Perhaps someday
I'll tell you.

...there I was, all happy and excited, rushing to get stuff completed, thinking that it was my absolute last day at Alice Smith. Even skipped both my breaks to get as much as possible done, when lo and behold, just before I took off at 2.45pm towards freedom, my boss stopped me and requested that I come in the following week, "just for a few days more".

%$&@%*#^&)$&*)!!!!

:(

Ah well. Was at Chilli's Bangsar with Audrey and Isabel after that, and tried to drown my sorrows in iced lemon tea. Got home around 5 and passed out for a couple of hours. Caught the first half of the game between England and Argentina; thanks to the penalty shot, it ended 1 - 0 in England's favour. Booyah!
Made up my mind to skip work Monday; will be heading to Penang tomorrow night to see Sharon and Kai, yay! Have a doctor's appointment in the afternoon, and I'll be in BSC with sooks for a bit sometime between packing and stuff.
Am talkin' to Ra Ra over MSN; I miss bullying that bugger :/ lol, he just told me he missed being bullied, ahaha! I'll keep that in mind the next time he starts whining ;D

First things first (before I lose the mood and forget to rant about this): damn you dM for bloody flooding my mailbox! Celaka sial, send so many mails for what?!
Now that we've got that outta the way... hmm. Was enlisted to help sooks make boxes yesterday, so we did that for a couple of hours after I got back from work. Cracked the silliest jokes while we hunched over irritatingly square pieces of blue paper that we coaxed into boxes. I swear, it takes a lot of patience to sit there and fold 'em things. sooks left around 7-ish. Watched some tv and went to bed around 9pm. I'm so boring, eh? :P
Today was much more fun! Went around PJ with dad after work to run errands and stuff (even managed to get a quick trim) before rushing home to take a shower. sooks came by a little while later and we headed to Sunway Pyramid to buy her a pair of wedges to replace those that Joshi chewed. Found it, bought it, and we lepaked for a while.
Headed to Old Town soon after for a yummy bak kut teh dinner (one that neither of us has had since I left for Canada almost two years ago). We stuffed ourselves silly, and even managed to feed some stray cats along the way. We yakked about the most inane and laughed a lot; it was fun ;D
I got home just in time to watch the second half of France vs. Uruguay, which ended in a draw of 0 - 0. Checked CNN for updates, and Senegal has been kicking some serious ass, ooh..! (just remembered that Senegalese joke sooks told me over dinner... ahahaha!) Anyway, it's been a great day. Had hoped to hunt Merv down later in the evening, but he was busy, so the plan was scratched. I should go sleep now.

Thanks to weird weather and wonderful, beautiful pollution [/sarcasm], my eyes are bugging me again. It's hard to restrain myself from trying to gauge my eyeballs so that I can wash them (out of sheer irritation and desperation!).
Been working for the past two days (when will my contract ever end?!) and moving furniture at home. I finally lost my temper and moved all of the parasite's things out, yay me! Packed all of Audrey's clothes and put them upstairs in my old bedroom, and today we moved her (extremely heavy) queen-size bed as well. I rearranged the furniture that's left downstairs (sounds familiar, girls? ;D) and am pretty pleased with everything so far, albeit rather tired.
Sharon called this afternoon; Kai's back, woohoo! Am finalizing plans to head up to Penang for the weekend to see them before Sharon takes off.
Nothing else to say, 'cept I'm missing a lot of people.
