Fairytales do come true.

I was reading Top Ten Ways To Hint To Your Boyfriend That You Want To Get Married.

It’s all well and good, but I think the sure-fire way to take the relationship to a whole new level is a comment by BeerBrat.

After hearing this, your boyfriend would either quickly get down on his knees and pop the question, or if he’s a jerk, he’ll just say “Tatah. It was fun while it lasted, babe!”

Well, there is an option 3 - ignore you and continue the foreplay. Hahahah.

Well, either way, you get your answer, don’t you?

… for simply being a Malaysian.

Today, after class, I was walking to the bus stand to catch my bus. Needless to say, I was minding my own business and I was walking rather quickly because I didn’t want to miss the bus.

See, I’m walking straight ahead, and I was keeping an eye on the opposite road where the bus is parked, so if I see it leaving, then I can pick up my pace (i.e. run like a madwoman) to catch the bus.

All of a sudden, this man, who just crossed to my side of the road, started shouting IN MY FREAKING EAR!

“Lei dei mah-lai-sai-nga yen hai kau lei ge!”

[ translation - you Malaysians are dogs! ]

Hahaha, my reaction damn funny. At first I planned to ignore the fella la, because his interruption was totally unplanned-for (yes, I function extremely well with plans) so why bother changing my plans to accomodate him, right? So I continued walking ahead without showing any response. Then I thought I want to see who is this fella and how he looks like. So I turned back and look.

He was walking away, but apparently the whole time he was looking at me, because once I turned, he continued shouting:

“Tor sui ngo dei zhong kok yen!”

[ er… I don’t really know how to translate “tor sui”. It’s something like, get us into trouble. He said - get us Chinese into trouble ]

Heh. After he said that I just turned and walked away alsola…what for wanna entertain the dumbass. He was wearing black plastic spectacles, just like those artsy-fartsy types like to wear, which slightly wavy medium length hair. A bit stocky and wearing a maroon coloured shirt, if I’m not mistaken. Probably in his thirties.

But I understood what the fucker was ranting about. Must be the whole nude earsquat thingiela…what else. Oh I watched the video of the squats, by the way. As I watched it, it really got my anger boiling. The stupid policewoman just watching expressionless-ly…shit. Is this what they do for entertainment? So free, go out and catch some drug dealers or whateverla, please.

So anyway, back to getting scolded. Wahlau, why the fucker want to scold me? I look like policewoman meh?! Do I look like the type who enjoys sadistic tortures?! So many people in Petaling Street but wanna come and shout in my ear. Eeep! Maybe he knows that I’ve watched the video and I thought the girl’s boobs were quite huge! There I was, walking peacefully, not wanting to miss the bus, but this guy had to disrupt my routine. Heh. I’m not really pissed about it, because it amuses me when people are angry and I just ignore them.

And yes, he did have an accent when he was shouting.

Bah.

Today must be universal amuse FoongJin day.

After the whole ear-shouting incident, I reached the huuuge junction where I have to cross 2 roads to get to the bus stand. I was waiting patiently on my side of the road for the lights to turn red, not crossing even though the cars appear to be far away.

THEN, this pakcik from godknowswhere SUDDENLY JUST DECIDED THAT THE ROAD WAS HIS AND CROSSED THE ROAD. SELAMBA ONLY. The lights were still green for the cars, mind you. The pakcik somemore walked fucking slowly, one hand hiking up his sarong abit. WALK DAMN SLOW YOU KNOW! Like he really thinks that he owns the road and the cars will bow in fear of his awesomeness. Obviously, the cars, which have the right to go on driving, HAD to stop to let the pakcik cross la. If he walked fast, nevermind, cos they still can drive on after he crosses. But no0o0o. Pakcik decides that the air is cool and refreshing and wants to enjoy the afternoon sun, so he saunters across the road. By the time he reached the other side (where I was standing), the lights have turned red already. If I were in the car, I would be screaming in frustration.

But Malaysian drivers are nice people. No one honked at the oblivious pakcik.

Then when I got onto the bus, this auntie, who was seated on the third row aisle seat, started handing out flyers. IN THE BUS, mind you. To everyone seated around her and to everyone who walked into the bus and had to pass by her seat to get to the back of the bus.

I don’t mind accepting the flyerla, cos I forgot to bring my Reader’s Digest to read on the bus today. So at least got something to read while I eat my orange flavoured mochi.

I opened the flyer….and lost my apetite.

The flyer is about some evangelical thing la with ” ALL PEOPLE SHOULD REPENT! ACCEPT THE GOSPEL!” in red and located strategically in a box. It was an interesting read, though. Talks about how the world is soon coming to an end, with quotes from the Bible to back it up.

E.g For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places (Matt. 24:7).

And then it also talked about the effects of a nuclear disaster.

According to a television report, “The central temperature would reach 20 million degrees, and anything near the center of the blast would melt instantly. Places within a 20-km radius would be engulfed in towering infernos. Forest would be on fire, and the water in the lakes would be boiling. Tires, fuel tanks and all elements would burst into flames. Many people would suffer from severe burns, and their skins would be charred at an incredulous speed.” The Bible says, “(On that day) the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” (2 Pet. 3:10) Also, “the nuclear blast would whip up stormes gusting at 3,000km per hour. Areas near the center of the storm would be laid bare; people on the streets would be blown to bits. People who were (sic) still alive ‘the day after’ would live in extreme misery because of the nuclear radiation would destroy their body cells and bone marrow. Those who were (sic) not so badly affected would still suffer from gradual loss of hair, leukocytosis, and leukemia that would lead to non-stop bleeding - all of which is (sic) incurable. Mankind would be gripped by death and terror.”

Wah, you read something like that, you still got apetite to go on eating ah?

Okay, after all that ranting and sad stuff, I would like to share some happiness! I FREAKING WON THE LOTTERY!!!!!!!!!….NOT. Heh. I wish!

Nah. There’s this wholesale earrings shop near my college that sells really nice earrings. After enquiring, the salesladies told us that if we buy a minimum of 50 pairs, each pair will cost RM2. Normal retail price is RM5/pair. Since there was 5 of us girls who always hang out together in college….we decided that each of us should get 10 pairs! W00T!!!! 10 pairs of earrings for RM20!!!!!!!

Nice or not?!?!?!

Then we came up with the idea that we’ll go earrings-shopping once a year la…by the time we graduate we will have 30 pairs of earrings…more than enough man! Oops. I just realised that one of the girls, Fiona, will probable be going overseas to study :’(. Just as we were getting to know each other better somemore.

Wow. This is such a long post. Hahaha, consider me updated for the rest of the week

Nahh, don’t worry. When I finally get cracking on my assignment (which should be tonight, I hope), you will see more rants from me, cursing and kicking a big fuss about doing work.

I’m so sorry all you aussie ppl who has been calling and contacting me!

I’m very busy this two weeks, cos I have an assignment which I have no idea how to do, plus my Japanese test (which is set by the Japanese government, no less) is next Sunday - 4th December. So I’ve been trying to read up on Judicial Precedent and study my Japanese at the same time… :’( I hate exams and work…in that order.

So after 4th Dec, I pwomise to call you all up and yak long time, okay? Not to mention MEET UP! YES YES YES!

(Bankruptcy-dom, here I come!)

And yes, I’ll also probably update my awfully neglected blog when all these pesky matters of assignments and tests have been dealt with.

Stay tuned! Hahahah

Byeeee!

Before Jamie’s School Dinner (previous post) was on, I watched Desperate Housewives, which is about the ONLY regular TV programme I watch nowadays.

One of the dramas in today’s episode was Lynette finding out that Tom, her husband, had hired HIS ex-girlfriend, Annabelle, to work with him. And she has been working there for 3 months already, but Tom STILL had not told Lynette.

(Background story first: Annabelle was together with Tom when HE cheated on HER to be with Lynette. Basically, he dumped Annabelle to be with Lynette.)

So Lynette got all paranoid and worried that their business relationship could potentially evolve into something more. She asked Tom to either transfer Annabelle or she will ‘haunt his office to keep an eye on her’. Tom refused and so Lynette got ‘professional’ advice.

Edie, the *ahem* man eater, gave her a wise advice, which is - to be ‘best friends’ with the threat ala keep your friends close, but your enemy closer. In tune with this new strategy, Lynette threw a dinner party and invited Annabelle, with the intention of showing her that Tom and Lynette has a rock-solid relationship with a united family and they ARE VERY HAPPY TOGETHER. (Hidden message - so buzz off Annabelle, Tom doesn’t need you because he has everything he needs already.)

This being a drama series, something is sure to go wrong. Tom argued with Lynette saying that what she was doing is embarassing him and he still can’t believe that she doesn’t have trust in him.

Lynette : I trust you!

Tom : Oh yeah? How many times have you told me that ‘if you ever put your hands on another woman, I will take the boys and walk out of this house and you will never see us again!’?

Lynette : Well…*nonplussed and then a quick recovery* that’s just something wives tell their husbands!

Tom : Well, it seems to me that you’re not going to be satisfied until I do what you say and prove you correct!

*shocked silence*

Tom : I take it back!

Lynette : It’s too late, you’ve already said it.

Tom : Well, just think of it as something husbands say to their wives, then.

[ Everything from here onwards is applicable to both genders ]

Two thoughts struck me about this exchange.

1. The age old adage of ‘if he cheated WITH you, he can cheat ON you’.

2. It’s so scarily true how these self-fulfilling prophecies come to be. Wife gets paranoid, wife becomes extra naggy and suspicious and questions everything the husband does, husband gets sick and tired of not being trusted, husband gets fed up and think ‘well, since she has such a bad opinion of me, what’s there to lose‘, husband cheats on wife. WIFE FEELS VINDICATED. Of course, she will be crushed and sad and all that also.

Of course, if the husband truly loves the wife, he SHOULD NOT have thoughts like that or given up so easily. If he did, it’s clearly that he was looking for a reason to cheat anyway

Anyway, this scene is soooo familiar it struck a chord with me. And I bet with a few million other female viewers too. We know we should trust our man, we know that they love us….BUT….

There is always a first time for everything, as Lynette says.

Sometimes, we females do tend to overreact and in doing so, we dig our own graves. We successfully drive the male away and in the end, we bitch about what a bastard he is whilst sobbing to our sympathetic girlfriends. But we never realise that it was perhaps our fault that they were driven into the arms of another woman, because there’s only so much a man (and his ego) can take. When he’s all frustrated about you not trusting him, leaping onto every thing he say and dissecting it, interrogating him, it is obvious that he will be more vulnerable and open to the comfort offered by another woman, who seemingly understands him more than his wife.

Of course, NO ONE SHOULD EVER CHEAT, but we don’t live in a perfect world, do we?

Well, there really isn’t much to say. Whether it has good reviews or not, I’m sure people will still queue up for hours to watch the show. I think it was waaaay better than the first two, which sucked and that is the only reason why I could remember them. Can’t remember much about the third movie…but anyways. I thought it was good, better tha a lot of films I’ve watched lately. The starting was fuiyoh! Gripping sial! This show has more action than dialougue, it seems, which is good, because the lines they spout all seem kinda wooden anyway.

And ah, those Beauxbatons girls’ uniforms are damn nice! Those blue silk dresses with matching capelet and hat! Sooo gorgeous! Of course-la, only the tall and slim can pull off that kind of outift *grumbles*

After they prance into the dining hall, then they would go “ahhhh….” and then prance a few more steps, then “ahhh….” again. Wtf. It was one of the most ludicrous scenes in the show la…yes yes I know Veelas are supposed to be enchanting and all…but but…them moaning ah ah is like….huh?

Lol.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell you all that the uniform is very nice . Hehehe. Goodnight!
