Meeting my ex for the first time after 2 years

I'm just pathetic. i imagined the scenario over and over in my mind from the day she said she found someone new till the day i arrived back in Malaysia. It was just as i imagined. There i was sitting with my old bunch of friends at the mamak stall when she and her boyfriend would sit at a table near us. i got up went over and said hi to her, then look at her boyfriend, laugh like a hyena and then proceed to kick his ass. then i turn to her and say "Good riddance". but that was not it went. (oh and here's a brief recap of why i turned 18SG, when i left malaysia for australia 2 years ago, my status was "in a relationship". about two weeks later my status changed to single because she hooked up with somebody else and she had the nerve lie about it and say asked for the breakup on the basis of our differences) anyway it went like this instead.... i was sitting with my bunch of friends when my friend pointed that my ex, her boyfriend and a couple of their friends were sitted two tables behind me. They told me not to turn around but i did, i was curious what she looked like after 2 years ok... i didn't get a good look though cos the indian waiter dude was walking by. so there i sat for 15 minutes and i had a numbing feeling and my heart was beating a beat faster. i guess it was the anticipation of finally meeting her face to face after so many years (2 years is a long time k). finally the moment arrived when we paid for our drinks and walked over to say hi. it was surreal as if i was on automatic shift. i just said hi, smiled, shook hands with her boyfriend (which reminds me i'm gonna go wash hands now) and left. walking towards my car i felt a bit sad. She has moved on, why can't i move on. i guess every girl that has been in my life somehow stays in my life... always coming back to haunt me... never letting me forget.

Kena Bully....

Have you ever had one of those days when you don't feel like rushing to work so you drive at 80-90kmh per hour only to be overtaken left and right by cars and motocycles alike? i'm having one of those days... still looking at the opposite lane which was jam right up to the putrajaya toll was a nice change cos usually i'm one of those drivers will is always stuck in the slowest lane of a massive jam... i even took photos using my NEW (hehe) handphone which caused me to swerve a bit because i was trying to aim the phone properly which might have scared the guy driving behind me causing him to slow down and after that kept a distance of 4 cars from me. lesson to learn, use your right hand to to hold the phone so that your left hand is free to steer, change gears and pull the hand brake in case you swerve into the barrier.

Lessons in driving old cars

If you've driven an old car for more than a year you would know how i feel everytime i drive my old beat-up but loyal nissan sunny. Every you back out of the drive way, you'll get that nagging feeling that the car might just go KA BOOM!!! because her engine after years of running, finally overheats till the point of no return and decides to blow you up to smitherins. right so why am i talking about all blowing up and all, well its because last night while driving home i was suddenly overtaken from the right at breakneck speed by this stupid idiotic moronic psychotic woman driving a waja, which so happens to look like my waja, because she wanted to get to the tunai toll booth on the left while i was going straight to the Touch and GO. So what to do, i have to emergency brake and let her through lah... if not her car will have a huge dent the size of J Lo's big round ass. i BLASTED my horn and my mouth screaming foul languages in all three of my spoken languages. but thats not the reason for this blog. its what happened afterwards. So after letting the insolent woman pass, i started to realize that my car was jerking a lot everytime i slowed down or stop. so this meant that i had to keep my right foot on my accelerator to keep the engine from dying. This however prevented me from using my right foot to press the brake pedal. O_O this happened after the cyberjaya toll and i managed to drive all the way to puchong when my car finally gave up as i HAD to step on the brakes as i was going down a steep hill. so i slid to a stop at the side of the road. I tried to start the car again but to no avail. i even tried pulling that thing under the stering wheel which automatically accelerates the car (those driving auto might not know what i'm talking about) but it came out in my hands (Cha dou). finally i called my dad. while waiting i walked to the nearby coffee shop to have a drink, thinking about whether i should take tomorrow off to get my car fixed. when my father got there we tried starting the engine again and lo and behold it started and it was alright all the way home. When we got home we checked the car and found that there was no coolent in the radiator which caused the engine to overheat thus the jerking and mati engine-ing. so we filled it up with water and hoped that it would be ok the next day. Me being here (at the office) proves that a little water can go a long way. The lesson to learn from this experiencec is to if you're driving an old car, always make sure that the hazard light is working. Nuf said.

Why do i always feel the need to blog when i feel nostalgic

i didn't really feel like blogging these past few days even when something had happened over the weekend but today after listening and singing my lungs out to "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins (one of my fav songs only i didn't know the title and the singer until now :P) did i reliased that i am feeling a bit lonely. not that i don't have friends but i miss the special moments you share with someone u adore. i miss just cuddling next to each other in front of the tv. i miss the thousands of calls with the same question over and over again, "Where r you now?" i miss the privilege of being able to kiss someone anytime well nearly anytime u want. i miss the spur of moment instance when you suddenly feel the need to see her and u just go to her house and take her for an aimless drive around the block. i miss those moments. so here's Phil Collins and Adrian singing "Against All Odds"


How can I just let you walk away, Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me, When all I can do is Watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'Cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around, Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, So many reasons why
You're the only one Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'Cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, Well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, 'Cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

(ends with me and Phil taking a bow under the rain of undergarments thrown by thousands of hot models cos this so happens to be the launch of Playboy in Malaysia!)

The birthday party that went awry

last night one of my best friends had this birthday party cum yum cha session at Station 1 in cheras. so this place was packed with young kids aged 15-19 spending 7 bucks on drinks they call "Happiness" or "Fancy World" which is actually lychee mixed with strawberry. lets not go into what cars they drive or else i might lose my mental control and punch a hole through my beautiful flat screen monitor. anyway... so there we were the seven of us playing cards and UNO stacko when suddenly some guy came on the microphone and called out my friend's car number. we were thinking that his car might have blocked somebody else's car. some background information: my friend is notorious for his driving skills. another thing that i won't go into if i do, this post will never end. so anyway... he went to move his car and we were sitting there talking about how daring he was to risk double parking his brand new 2 weeks old Honda City. suddenly we saw him driving right up to the entrance of the restaurant, came out and stood there looking at his car. a few people were gathering around as well. curious, we joined the crowd gathering around his car. and there he was standing in the middle of the crowd, looking at his window or what's left of it. the guy left his laptop bag in the back sit and some dude broke the car window and took the bag. luckly there were only books in the bag and not a laptop or something like that... this made me reminded me of my car when it was broken into because i left my bag in the passenger's seat. stupid dude who thought that there must be a couple of million dollars in the bag must have been pissed to find my pencil box and a digicam. he didn't even want my digicam i guess cos maybe its only 2megapixels. what did he expect breaking into my 20 year old leaking in all places especially the back seat nissan sunny? so back to my friend, oh did i mention it was his birthday! -_^ poor dude. after that we sat for a couple more minutes but it was really a torturous couple more minutes as nobody was in the mood. so we packed up and left. i had to go home to sleep as i have work (sigh...) the next morning while the rest went for second round i think... anyway i think u can guess the lesson to be learned from this post... "Place a 2 megapixel digicam in your bag and the thief will not take ur bag!"
