red- also the colour of love (i tink)

it’s been a month after the phone-fell-into-the super-deep-toilet-bowl drama. after using a six years phone for a week, i finally found my new baby

am learning the T9 way of tapping now. susah…susah weh~

finally convo is over. had a mad 4 days marathon. (marathon=makan)you wudn believe it!

yiyi and uncle came for a business trip last thurs and fri, so i was assigned to babysit yiyi. as the standard tour guide would do, we brought her to khoo khongsi, kek lok si, cheah kongsi, other kongsi-s and stuff.since i really dunno wut else to do in penang, iv decided to bring them for a makan marathon. we had cendol, nask kandar, braised chicken, braised duck, tomyum, steamed fish, bla bla bla… and they went home happy.

my frens (whom il be celbrating our 10 anniversary dis thurday!!!) came over to visit me on fri (am sooooo very touched). so… wut else la? makan marathon again ler! i tink i scared them, coz i brought them to at least 2 different places for any meals! once, we had dimsum, then curry noodles, den coconut water and finally egg tarts!had so much fun with them (we went bowling! sumting we havent done for at least 6 years now and the gals won! =p) and i learnt how to play bridge with them =p (addictive weh)

then my parents came over on sat nite. again we went for makan marathon. nasi kandar, tomyum, steamed fish, duck porridge, etc.

noticed how the days overlap each other? kfong and i travelled between town and usm on a average 3 times each day! kesian him… but it was very very very nice, coz they all came on time, coz…

it’s my convocation weekend!

and best of all… im the one who was not excited about convo. hahaha

had such a great time yesterday. i didn fell on the stage, nor my mortar board plonked down (wut a relieve!). the best part of all was… i suddenly realise dat i have many frens who cared about me! frens whom i havent been keeping in touch our hung out with as often as i should. man… u guys rock la! as soon as i stepped out of the hall, there’s definitely someone shoving some kind of soft toy, or cards, or etc into my face and yelling ‘congratulations lilin!!! there were lots of smelly, ‘hot’ looking people walking around in droves, taking pictures everywhere (i was one of them), and there were cheers around. had such a marvelous time having a quick reunion with other coursemates.

and during the convo ceremony, right after the vips march in- i managed to sneak out, trying to meet my frens =p not easy weh, have to put on poker face one, acting like u really nid to go to the toilet! but mana tau, my frens went home dah. so i went to the toilet (not easy weh! the robes were super long and heavy, my pockets were very shallow. so i had to somehow use the toilet while HOLDING my phone tightly. on the way back,of all people, i saw usm’s PRO (whom i befriended over an architectural event). he went like ‘ooo… it’s ur graduation! congratulations!!!’. so sweet! but then he suddenly realised there’s sumting wrong. ‘what on earth are u doing OUTSIDE here?’ so i said i seludup-ed keluar =p. very good answer. he went like ‘ooo, dats y i didn see u just now la, u bugger’. and then swiftly, i took out my phone, and said…’take picture take picture’, after that i ran into the hall again, and sat down quietly till it’s my turn to go up the stage =p hahaha

so there’s my magic weekend, surrounded by people i love. will upload pics in facebook.

love ya all. thanks for the magic. *muacks*

hullo people…

lilin’s back in penang. another two more years to study. the slowest to graduate among all. bla bla bla.

u noe wut? wen i went to take a pic for my matric card last tuesday, the woman said ‘i tak boleh letak nama awak sebagai lilin di kad awak la. i letak li lin okay?’. duh. wut’s the difference? u can letak ‘lilin yang cantik’ for all i care =p

monday, during registration, of all things i chose to sport my BRAND NEW cargo pants. of all things i suddenly had to go to the bathroom. of all toilets i had to choose the one i normally don’t go to. and of ALL things the pants had @#$%^ shallow pockets. so in the end, after i did wutever i had to do, i heard a loud applause for my efforts. it vaguely sounded like ‘THUD…-klong -klong-Klong-klonnnnng-SPLASH’. the person beside my cubicle was like ‘LILIN WUT HAPPENED???’. i told her dat my phone went for a swim. i looked down the lonnngggg deeeeepppp pipe and the oni vision i got was a puddle of dark blackish water.

i went out of the toilet, told everyone who cared to listen, dat my phone drowned, and askd them to not to call me dat particularly devilish day. and the only reaction my fren gav out wen he walkd pass the toilet is ‘lilin, do u wanna hear ur phone ring?’  *im gonna kill him*

so, dats not the end of our adventure. that nite, i had a sleepless nite. i made a resolution to rescue my phone from dat hideous place, get my fat-wit-contacts sim card, and give my phone a proper final resting place. (after all, whoever had had a 5 year old sony ericsson? got attachments weh…) the oni problem is, wenever i closed my eyes to try to get some sleep, the vision of me, head sticking dangerously close to the freaking squat bowl of a school toilet, right arm coated wit a plastic bag fully down the toilet hole, and groping aimlessly around to feel my phone! and the only things i managed to grab hold of are long, cylindrical objects  which  are sumwat mushy to the touch. HOW TO SLEEP LA IF VISIONS OF THINGS LIKE THIS KIP FLASHING IN UR HEAD???

the next day, haunted by my poor phone floating among other things, i declared dat i will launch operation rescue sony. i called buddy and askd him to bring me a big plastic bag, which he faithfully did. the plastic bag he brought was… big…-er than the average tapao char-koay-teow bag. so v stole CLEAN garbage bags from the bins on our way to the toilet, and got a steel pole wit us (just in case la). and all buddy askd me was… ‘u sue u wan to take it ah? it’s been there for a whole night. so well-marinated dat it is ready to be fried!’. dat kinda gross me out.

so wut we did was, v sneaked into the toilet. LOCKED the doors. looked deeply into the $%^@ toilet bowl, and decided to stick the pole in to judge the depth. alas, it really was as deep as my right hand. so v poked the pole around, trying so ‘feel’ if the poor phone is still lingering down there, and in our semangat-ness in stirring the sewage water, a familiar stench begin to fill the entire toilet.  wut next? LARI-lah!!!

in our hurry to lari sekuat yang mungkin, buddy’s car rosak pulak. gear box problem. dat’s another sad story. so there we were, strandd in school until help came…

so, there goes my phone (and buddy’s car. i tink that toilet doesn like me la). wen i announced dat i nid to go to the loo, my concerend frens will call out ‘lilin, CAREFUL of ur phone ah!’.

so people, be mindful of ur phones wen using the toilet. and for goodness sake, FLUSH after using the toilets! jagalah kebersihan tandas bersama.

ps: do text me ur contacts ya? thank you =)

…lilin had two french test! qu’est-ce que c’est? french 101! dun beliv? me too.

…lilin celebrated chinese new year. makan makan makan and main main main every single day for more than a week! O.o everyday ade saje gatherings la, makan gatherings la, kepo gatherings la (dis is wen all the relatives come and scrutinize all the kids life), more makan gatherings and even MORE kepo gatherings. so tak sempat do shopping pun. managed to sneaked out on a total of 1 and a half hours of shopping in dat one week, haha! and i bought a rm8.70 giordano shirt (memang cheapo!)

…lilin also went to jazzband annual dinner at tower palace at the 59th floor of komtar tower. kononnya palace la, food sucks, service sucks, and even the plaster ceiling was peeling all over! ewww… neways, had sum fun time there, not to mention feeling really old amongst all the energetic kiddos.

…lilin kept falling asleep in class. even wen she’s sitting right in front of the lecturers! even wen the class has only 7 people! one time, she was sitting between this two guys and they kept chatting her up. guy #1 kept asking ‘lilin, are u asleep?’. the he tried to explain why the mayans were entirely wiped out. so i turned to him and paid my fullest attention to him. halfway through, it hit me dat all guy #1 was saying was ‘hello….HELLOOOO???’. and then i heard guy #2 said ‘wah! like dis also u can sleep ah?’ O MAN!!! i slept halfway through the conversation!!! plz forgive me, i was rilly playing attention dude! =S

…lilin went to malam budaya aisec. was impressed and awed at all the performances. and laughed silly at the MCs who are really really lame. like VERY VERY lame! they even re-enacted tvb soapie scenes at a crowd of mainly english speaking people! wrong crowd la dude…

…lilin celeb-ed her cell group leader’s bday by playing a part in blindfolding her and driving her all around USM, while lying to her that we’r actually bringing her sumwer special. den stopped by my school wer some of the malay dudes pretended to be pak guards and askd why is there a blindfolded gal at the backseat. they demanded for matric cards. checked car boots. asked lots of questions! the driver pretended he did bring his matric card, and drove off! the ‘pak guards’ knocked on the car as we were leaving hastily. my fren kept screaming ‘they’r coming after us!!! drive faster!!!’. super duper dramatic. my poor blindfolded cg leader was scared speechless! after sum time ‘trying to escape the pak guards’, we stopped by beside the lake wer a bunch of frens wer holding lighted candles while waiting for her. we freed her blindfold and she went ‘OMG’ and nearly pengsan! and demanded to noe if the pak guard scene was real anot! we had a good laugh over dat! haha

…last but not least, lilin memang nak kena dah cz tak buat kerja rumah. so now lilin gotta work extra hard so dat she can graduate dis sem.

…lilin’s going to see porpoises later.like wild porpoises! hopefully waiting under the sun from 12-1.30pm under the ridiculously hot penang weather will bear some fruits! good luck!

holla. how’s it been? pretty hot huh? as in sun hot. not hot hot.

went to kuala terengganu last thu (17.01.08). the highway was pretty windy. erm, VERY windy, so popped a novomin, and there u go. a sedated lilin for 10 hours! first thing first wen we reach kuala terengganu … nasi dagang! was pretty nice, wit a big chunk of curry tuna and acar- all for rm2.00 sahaja. cheapo cheapo. checked into the hotel and then… we hit the BEACH! the waves were awesome. nothing like the ones in the straits of malacca. no one dared to play in the sea, but there’s alwiz beach volleyball, soccer and captain ball =)

neways, the trip was all about makan makan makan (they actually bought turtle eggs, urghhhh) and main main main (the boys went to play futsal at 12+am after bbq-ing!). site visit was okay, but the town was kinda weird- cz it’s like a mix of zaman batu architecture and zaman sekarang architecture =S very confusing… but after the kononnya site survey, we went shopping shopping shopping!!! yay!!!

neways, after 2 days in kuala terengganu, off we go to kota bharu. guess wut, we makan-ed nasi dagang again. but the nasi is browner than kuala terengganu’s, so got a bit of variety la (o yea, for all three mornings, we had NASI DAGANG)… huwahhhh….

kelantan was … well… hot! man, the sun was showing off his FULL glory upon us! all of us got sun burnt i tink. or at least 5 shades darker. no kidding. final destination was rantau panjang. supposedly to be the duty free zone, everything there aso so MAHAL! at the end of the day, v bought ice creams and jambu air (can u beliv it? all the way there to buy fruits?!).

but the most interesting thing has yet to happen- on the way bek, we actually saw BABY ELEPHANTS beside the highway! wild elephants dude! cool!!! and they were so cute!!!

by midnite of sunday, we’r bek in penang. and the day after, i guess half of the studio ppl got sick. me inclusive. fever and flu. souvenirs from the east coast =S

despite the fever, and buddy’s sprained and seriously macam elephantisis ankle, we went to join the thaipusam celebration in… er… sumwer in penang. happening weh. so many ppl around, so much huge hindi-song-playing-speakers around and so many people wit piercings around! whooo… even kiddos weh. man… ouch!

spent the whole morning kepo-ing at the fest, came home wit yet another fever bout. padan muka. sakit still wanna go kepo. ><

anyhoo, twas a superb week. cny holiday’s coming soon. may we all have a blast =)

il put another OMG here. being a SO NOT omg person, do notice that my OMG is actually in CAPS! here’s the story:

wednesday. my free day. without lectures, without worries, and best of all, it’s movie day! so after a short spontaneous lecture by one of the new studio masters (which kinda interrupted my plans), my teapot-shaped buddy and i went to town to catch a movie. movie was great. company was great. food was great. everything was really nice (hvn been spending much time wit the formerly piggy but currently teapot buddy, so am rilly enjoying this outing).

next, went to buy tons of groceries (macam aunty). bought a tray of eggs too (how come price of eggs kips skyrocketing ah?), facial cleanser, etc, etc, the usual stuf…

went to teapot’s place to catch another movie and then it’s time to balik rumah.

the way out to the main road was a really straight road, with some intersections. so our good friend sped a little. jz a wee bit. well, who drives at 40kph on a straight road at 2.30am in Malaysia? suddenly, out of the blue, a super donkey dude suddenly jz turn out from one of the junction at supersonic speed. seriously. u dun even hav time to say OMG! yea… anyway, both cars swerved to the opposite directions. having no time to say out loud OMG, i found myself saying ‘how come the brakes didn work ah?’ which came out pretty dumb. considering all the screeching sound we made during the matrix style swerve thing. well, rilly dumb. but i was in shock. plus, i didn get to say OMG! so do excuse me.

neway, wen we calmed down a little, teapot went ‘habislah the eggs’. smart alec me lookd behind and as sure as a brain surgeon said ‘no la, its okay’, and picked up the eggs bag and put ‘em up onto the car seats again. after 5 min, i decided to put the eggs back onto the floor, and thats wen i realised- THERE’S EGG EVERYWER!

desperately, the little egg car entourage went everywer in search of a tap. A TAP! at this ungodly hour! neways, we stopped by a petrol station, and unloadd everything from the back seat so that we can clean up a bit.

imagine the scene. it’s three am in the morning. two dumbos wer seen unloading eggs (freaking broken stinky eggs!) onto the tarmac. one trying to wipe off eggs from the car seats, and the other sorting out the good eggs frm the broken ones. and did i mention we bought a whole pack of toilet paper too? yea man. and to top it all, a bunch of motorist suddenly stopped by the station to visit their fren who’s on the nite shift. awwww… how sweet.how MEMALU-FYING!!!

arghhh, anyway, il spare details abt the conditions of the very malaysian toilet in which i did a lot of washings, and after abt half an hour displaying all the things we bought from tesco bayan lepas on the floor of caltex, we finally decided dat it’s time to go home.

and the little freaking stinky egg car made its way to sungai dua, slowly. so by abt 3.30am, we reached my place and wuts more? it’s time to make hard boiled eggs! whee!!!  

(i duno how on earth am i going to convince my housemates to eat 6 hardboiled eggs tomoro, but didn they say that there’s no point in worrying) =p

haha, neways, hapi awal muharam people. may u hav a better start of the muslim new year than the teapot and i.

and oh, about 17 out of 30 eggs survived the mini accident unscratched. i guess the back seat is indeed a safer place huh?

heyz everyone. it’s been a while, hasn’t it? been kiping busy since my last paper on the 7th of nov. so after all the study study thingy (as it…) of course there’s PARTAY!

8th nov : taiping zoo

to commemerate our first year together gether, buddy piggy and i decided to go to the zoo! yay!!! was planning to go for the night safari as well, but … i gotta attend a barbeque party at my lecturer’s place dat night, so it’s oni the morning zoo it seems. zoo was very very nice. entrance fee was super cheap (RM5). plenty of monyets swinging everywer (and ROAMING FREELY!). o yea, their fav pastime seems to be knocking down waste bins and hanging out around the bins (imagine oscar in sesame street). talk abt lepak-ing! and they hav PIGZ! lots and lots of them. sleeping all the time. waking up oni to makan if sumone threw them sumting. den doink! tumbang balik. man… so hakuna matata. and guess wut’s one of the common name for one of the species? babi bodoh. aww man… imagine living wit that name… ouch!

buddy piggy and me, and the *high* bear. he kept nodding the whole time!

Hakuna matata!

and on the 12th, mom came up to penang wit my cuzzie and all of us had a blast going around penang, MAKANING and SHOPPING!

14-16th nov: langkawi

langkawi was rilly great. all four of us had a blast. the kaki botol mommy bought all diff beers and the choc addict us bought so much chocs dat wenever vr hungry, it’s alwiz chocs+beer! whew… tok abt un-HEALTHY diets! by the time we got bek, v got so sick of chocs! mom, the ever shopping kaki, bought so much stuf dat we had a hard time figuring out how to get past the customs and how to bring bek the barang-barangs! not to mention dat everyone bought so much chocs! so we came bek a couple of pounds heavier, and a couple of shades darker…     

19th-22nd:pka camp at chefoo, cameron highlands

after langkawi, it’s camp’s turn! had a blast there wit all the ’sampat’ people there! (one of my roomie kept singing ‘(anyone whom she sees) is the sampat president, sampat president, sampat president…and so the song goes on on who’s the founder and the advisor and wut not of the sampat club’ ><’" and we even had the noisy ppl side and the quiet ppl side in the dorm (cz the noisy people sumhow endd up in the same dorm, and picked the same row of beds!’ well… u can imagine wut’s it’s like befor bedtime. phew… we had a great time listening to rilly harsh but awakening talks, playing crazy games and just enjoying the great company. was rilly glad dat i went there, made lotsa frens, and surprised a few (yep, they saw glimpses of the real lilin! lilin is actually very shy shy and quiet quiet ga…)

22nd nov: back home!

finally reached home today, the bas PANCIT-ed wen it was rilly near town. gee… got to see everyone, dad and lion and mom was hapi, i was hapi, and i bet even the goldfishes missed me =p but popo was admitted to the hospital earlier in the afternoon…

24th nov: bye popo…

yea, popo passed away today. it was hard for all of us. but at least she was quick, and peaceful. she had a tao-ist funeral, wit all the rituals and stuf. buddy piggy came to send her off. mom seemed okay outside, but even a few days after the funeral, she seemed so distant, and so… not here. so decided to gobek to usm later, and teman her.

30th nov: kitaro ‘love & peace’ concert 

well, we bought the tix earlier, so we went up to genting to watch it anyway. it was cold up there, wit the wind blasting and rain. so mling, buddy piggy and me  went lepak-ing in the indoor theme park while waiting for the show to start. went for the motion master- sum dinosaur movie… and… it was… lame… >< neway, it was rilly fun getting together wit all of them, (nying came to join us, and bear and her whole family was there too, minus her bro who’s in aussie). the trip down hill was rilly scary, cz it was raining, and rilly misty. er… CLOUDY! the visibility was like 20cm, and u cant see anything at all!!! man… kudos to nying for driving us home safely. phew… will rilly remember dat ride. it was the scariest ride in my entire life. and mind u, i dun get scared easily, cz i hav a very typical malaysian driver dad =p

so back to reality. 7th dec im stuck here again, in usm, practicing DAY and NiTe for the upcoming ‘christmas jam &jazz classics’ concert. it’l be held on the 18th dec, 8.30pm at dewan budaya. c ya there!

man, anyone wud tel u dat exam week is the worst week to be. in exam week, i get to:

eat MORE, sleep MORE, watch MORE soapies, blog MORE, play MORE, ebay MORE, and … more MORE. (and dad’s been calling…’are u preparing well for the exams?’. er… =p)

having a 2 and a half weeks of study break, i tink two thirds of it consumed by my darn project, another third of it wasted by dis little good gal doing all of the above. so.. wer did all the days go? u tell me…

its been raining and all cloudy in penang, best weather to tuck in all day long. wther its day or note, its sleeping time! zzz…

but, the beauty of it has to be spoilt by, a horrible gumache, caused by god noes wut!

imagine not being able to chew wit the left side of ur mouth for a whole week! best diet regimen ever. and best of all, its free of charge, save for abt a million bucks wen u go to the dentist’s ><

                          dats my homework. six A1s! ewww… glad its over =p

ahhh, the price for gaining wisdom… (wisdom tooth)

o yea, we had a big cookout last weekend too (the day befor submission). i tell u, dis time around, the day befor submission, i was as hapi as any lark! no hurry, no worries. i packed my stuf to make way for the cooking thingy, lazed one whole evening munching, chewing and playing heart attack wit the gang till midnite! food and company was a BLAST! wish we could do dat for christmas again! thankz mling for toiling so hard in the kitchen! yummy!

"HEART ATTACK!"

"huh?"

*everyone puts hand in the middle of the floor*

SMACK!

"OWHHHHHHH!!!!! i tink i nid minyak urut!!!!"

the full spread! stop drooling already…!

so very yummy…

                            not illegal gambling. heart attacking!

(haiya, kenot upload video la… no fun…)

2 days ago, my housemate suddenly barged into the living room and askd two pretty gals ‘who noes how to cutex?’

so i stared at my housemate, and my housemate stared back (u noe like those tvb movies, wen those lovers didn meet for a gazzilion years? yea, dats the moment. but dis is more wit ‘HUH???’ than love)

neways, i suddenly found myself sitting beside her, painting her nails! yesh, u read it rite. lilin was painting nails! i guess i musta hav keksi-ed her about one thousand times, cz… i painted like her hands more than her nails, and cutex-ed her nails more times than the bollywood couple rolling down the beautiful hills. and so, mayb one hundred hours later, i managed to get it rite.

and then, she said, lemme paint ur nails!

taa daa… STUDY WEEK=REBEL WEEK!

so, in short, me and my previous more ‘huh?’ than love housemate (during that time anyways. now we have more love than ‘huh?’. all lovey dovey) found ourselves wit… BLACK NAILS! whooo!!!!

                       see, same color as my keyboard =p

u noe, wen i pay anyone, they jz kept staring at my fingers. wen im free, i kept staring at my fingers. buddy piggy kept staring at my fingers. ><"’

so after the third day, v finally surrenderd and… ‘hey u hav nail polish remover?’

haha… so there goes our venture with dat.

*fat stubby fingers*

ahhh… hav fun folks! hapi studying and exam-ing…

its almost 4am, third of raya 2007.

am listening to launchcast at the today’s big hits channel and my only thoughts are… OMG! these are today’s big hits? (iv listened for like half an hour now, and i dun even hear a familiar song!). k, sumone jz said, ‘age is just a number’…

so i had my last class of public speaking laz wed, wen all classes had ended. v actually insisted that v hav our classes (crazy isnt it?). u see, public speaking class dis sem, sumwat went haywire and sumtimes, it’s better to describe it as sex education class. no kidding. the topics v discussed in those four walls… best left whithin those walls. and these bunch of people are the funnest crazy bunch of people iv met here, in usm. theyr rilly a hapi silly lot, but most importantly, theyr caring and as everyone puts it- very supportive.

so after our last class, we decided to go to subaidah (one of the mamaks) to hav sum drinks. and we were yakking abt everything (public speaking ma) and suddenly a guy stood up, the thai gals got ready wit their recording devices. suddenly i realised dat he’s gonna sing negaraku in the mamak!!! so the whole table stood up, sang negaraku in subaidah on a weekday 3.00pm for no reasons at all! and the rest of the patrons got free entertainment.

after our patriotic stint, it’s the gal’s turn to sing the thai anthem. it sounded hapi.

(*ahhh, finally a song i recognise! see, im not dat outdated after all)

neway, back to the national anthem. the thai national anthem. it was kinda cool. haha. and suddenly everyone started toking abt a party. cant settle on a suitable date, so ‘y not jz do it tonite?!’

and so, we were there, in the gal’s apartment, most of us late. at first there werent so much stuf, except dat one of the guys were busy (ahem! -she was pretty…so excuseable la huh?) and as it gets darker and later, and the crowd became slightly drunker, it gets more happening. we played mafia, not rilly good round, but everyone were pretty sporting and stuck on the whole game. the second round continues, and dis time half way shutting their eyes, instead of the mafia gunning down people, they brought a birthday cake. after the candles and singing, they did the usual thing -stuck the candle real deep into the cake and made the poor fellow take it out using his mouth. halfway down, they crashed the cake into his face!

ouch! the candle stuck rite into his gums…

‘ooo… is the cake ok?’

dat was a good one ><

suddenly a few guys carried the bday guy, one on each leg and the third supported his back. they went around the house looking for a corner and wanted to ram him er, lower part first into the corner.

‘dis is wut i call HAPPY CORNER’

yea. public speaking class AKA pervert class! duh… but it was rilly hilarious watching dat worried face =p

there were loads of other stuf dat happened dat nite, but lets jz kip it short. in the end, me and the bday guy gotta leave early at 1am cz… homework ma. submission soon. how to party? (potong stim oni). before that, we actually planned ANOTHER party, right in the middle of our exam week! how daring… hahaha

ok folks, tink better go oink now. tomoro’s a long day. superbly tired and bored to tears from sketching, hopefully will be watercolouring tomoro (i so wanna go home!). take care and hav fun!

o yea, SELAMAT HARY RAYA!!!

t’was 7.00pm, jz woke up from a nap, trying to watch lost season 2

‘ring ring…’

ooo, buddy piggy called. he said sumting like he’s coming to my place, in the lift, er… sumting like dat. i said, ‘okay, c ya later’ tinking, goodie, dinner finally arrived.

he said, ‘HUH?!’

poor guy, he was stuck in the elevator. (see, never say anything important to a person who jz woke up frm a nap =p)

so i RAN ALL THE WAY DOWN from the 11th floor, ran like the wind all the way to the guard house (semua orang melihat seorang perempuan yang agak cantik berlari-lari =p hehe. kidding) after an eternity of running, i finally reached the pak guard’s house…

‘encik, ada orang terperangkap dalam lift la’

’saya seorang saja yang jaga kat sini. macam mana nak pergi? itulah, baru baiki saja hario tu rosak lagi. tgk macam mana?’ o yea, got music effect summore. bollywood songs. those people running up and down the mountains around the trees kind of songs.

den he SLOWLY CRAWLED to the phone board, LOOKED SERIOUSLY RELUCTANTLY at the numbers, called twice on the number GROUCHINGLY (mayb because he was so into running around the trees wit a sexy babe, and i suddenly popped into the pic, a seriously un-sexy but still a babe =p), and dis time GRUMBLING non-stop as if i cut down the tree which he was running around wit his sexy babe.

so i stood there, stared at this human UNBELIEVINGLY as he pretended to take sum action.

after 5 min, i gav up. i ran to the lift, saw a hotline number and called it.

doot doot…

‘hello… sumting sumting sumting (i didn rilly pay attention)

‘hi, im calling from u-heights, bla bla bla’

‘okay, vl send sumone over as soon as possible’

o yea, u noe the malaysian context of as soon as possible? mostly, it sound more like ‘after i finish my steaming hot teh tarik k?’. the thing is, the teh tarik’s so piping hot! how to drink fast fast? later sakit mulut ma… ><

yea. so i waited and waited in agony, cz the poor guy’s been stuck there for like half an hour now. and the oni thing i can say to him is, ‘wait r dear. they’re coming soon’.

the thing is, i tot dat in cases like dis, they will actually come ASAP! but, malaysian ma. everything aso can ma. can wait la…

after 45 minutes, we decided to call the bomba, which responded surprisingly fast. so i had new hopes, that mayb the bomba will arrive before the lift guys.

this is when i saw my english coursemate. she went like…

‘o u noe? few weeks ago PRETTYGAL was vomiting so badly and she fainted in the elevator. we called the ambulance and it came HALF A HOUR LATER!’

ooo… my hopes came crashing down again. all the way from the top floor of my apartment.

the worse thing was, i rilly didn noe wut elase to do, other than to ask buddy piggy to wait, and i too waited for the super-guys to come and rescue him. there was nothing else to do, other than to wait. worse thing is, crying wont help, as much as i wanted to, cz … well, nothing comes from crying…

so after one plus hour, the guys finally came. went up to the lift room, found out that the brakes ter-fell on the cables (dats wut stopped the lift) and jz with a darningly simple push, VOILA, the lift was working again.

was so relieved to finally see the dumbo piggy again. there were tears this time, but these r tears of relieve. so glad the whole movie-like thing is finally over.

mayb i over reacted, but this was my first time ma… so like dis lo…

well, come monday, there’l be a TYPICAL malaysian who will be complaining like HELL in the management office. (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. muahaha)

jz wait and see… wait la… wait…

in conjunction with the title. red colour.
