.durian in the fridge.

omigod.

Not that i hate durian or anything, i just don't fancy it. But, WHOA is the smell strong or what? My entire family likes durian, except for me. I don't knoe why. Something about it being so slimy and sqooshy.. yucks.. but anyway, weirdly enough, my family didnt wipe out the entire population of Durian, and we had some leftovers..

And in usual Malaysian fashion. Tapau la!.. In come the plastic tupperwares (which, in actual fact, arent "tupperwares" but normal plastic containers).. And hence, my fridge is now home to a stash of yellow golden sqooshing durian.

MAN...
THE SMELL..

I know its only like two small little tupperwares.. but MAN oh MAN.. the smell got into everything.. and when i say everything, i mean EVERYTHING. Everytime someone opens the fridge door, the whole durian smell comes rushing out. My WATERMELON tastes like durian. I'm telling you, its the grossest thing i've ever had. BLEURGH. And i made ribena to drink. Because the water was in the fridge.. it made my RIBENA taste like durian..

My dad had pineapple-upsidedown cake (flown specially from Australia, brought over by a cousin).. which tasted like durian..

Too much wei.. Thats MY pineapple-upsidedown cake.

Its like the invasion of Durian..

.as long as you love me.

BACKSTREET'S BACK!
ALRIGHT!!!!


omigodddd... backstreet boys were SOOO amazingg.. sigh.. i just fulfilled one of the things that i put on my "Must-Do Things before i Die"... and this particular thing was very very high on that list..

first of all, to all you cynics... Backstreet Boys are a CLASSIC.. and if you give me that "what the hell, are u still 14 years old.." (i.e. the Van-bitch face).. well, then i'll say it to you.. everyone loves BSB.. yes, including YOU.. you're just in denial.. dont tell me you dont start singing everytime you hear "As Long as You love Me".. I KNOW YOU DO!

the dance moves.. the harmonizing.. the flashing lights.. the live band..

what more do you need for a fantastic performance!.. it was a wonderful, amazing, incredible, great (I can't find anymore superlatives) 2 hour performance..

i love backstreet boys.. sigh..

.uhhh.

oh man. either my life has suddenly become ever so boring that i have absolutely nothing to blog about, or.. i don't know, i cant think of any other explanation..

This new semester is really killing me, man.. The amount of assignments is enough to break me into a gibbering, slobbering idiot.. Not that it hasnt already.. *whine whine*

We (the sem6 students) just attended the briefing on our internship, which is going to be taking place sometime in June or July.. Everyone of us are so pumped up and excited at the prospect of getting to play at working in a big-time advertising company, or world-wide PR company or magazine company or whatever..

When asked about prospective companys to intern at, most of my advertising classmates said Leo Burnett! without hesitation.. so i guess about 10 of you guys will be contending with each other for placement at LB.. haha.. good luck.. but personally, i dont really see whats the reason for the fixation over LB.. just because two seniors went for their internship there, n came back with relatively good news, doesnt mean that its the ONLY option for us.. there are TONS of great advertising companys out there..

i'm thinking of Naga DDB.. or LOWE-Lintas.. hmm.. i might just end up in Naga DDB..

anyway, i'll think about that when the time comes.. first, have to concentrate on this damn CPM project.. sigh..

.first day of school.

Was pretty uneventful. Which is probably because the last day of the previous semester was only 5 days before today.. So. Anyway. The seniors are back and are eagerly describing every little gruesome detail about their internships. Complete with coffee-making and paper-pushing.

SOME people... think that their significance in my life is ever so great, that I must be thinking about them all the time. I HAVE TO.. otherwise, they'll just shrivel up and die if i don't think about them 24/7.

Reality Check.

You may have been important to me, like a long time ago.. but a long time ago is exactly that. A LONG TIME AGO.

I have a life. Which does NOT revolve around you.


"..."

but i digress...


"wheeew!" That was some venting out for me. Sorry. Heh..

CPM group projects have officially commenced! Our Almighty Leader who is Smart, Intelligent, Dignified, Poised and (i can't think of anymore wonderfully positive adjectives..) is none other than.... *drum roll please... KARUNA!

*please dont kill me Kayroona.. but can't you just SEE my delighted/bitchy/HAHA face?... hehehehe....

i love you too, K..

.i don't like klang.

and i don't this Klang likes me either.

Klang BakkutTeh was seemed like such a good idea. "seemed" being the operative word here. So anyway, BigBenBong so graciously decided to drive us girls there. Thank you, benB!

So, we left at 8 and got stuck at the damn Projet (you know, the one that's near Pyramid.. near my college).. and you know the shortcut that we masscommers normally take, the one with more holes that Swiss cheese. well, it was flooded. And when i say flooded, i mean FLOODed! What was formerly a small road became a whole f***ing RIVER!

A lovely icky gross muddy brown oozing river, complete with floating trash and the odd banana skin. *After all this is a Malaysian river we're talking about..

About two n half hours later, and a whole lot of phone-calling, wrong-turns, frustrated Billie's, hungry Sulin's and grumpy Karleng's.. we managed to find a BakkutTeh shop that was still open.

"Thank GOD!" cries Karleng.
"FoooooOOoooOOooddddDddd" mumbles benB (who i might add, is the driver of the night, so his mumbling was a bit worrying.. )

And so we eagerly step into the shop, just as the dude shouts out "SUDAH HABIS LOR!"

"..."

can't you just hear the damn *&&^)$)@#*@$%#'s coming out of our mouths..

A total of three hours on the road and still no food make Billie.Sulin.Karleng.Ben.Kaling a very grumpy bunch of people.

In the end, we had to settle for some random "bigfry" somewhere in some random place. Whatever... It didn't taste that good, but hunger makes stale bread and warm water taste like a big fat turkey ham n cheese sandwich and chilled Coke.


.pictures from new years.

.smile for the camera!.


SWINGing in the rain.



no, i don't really know what that means.. just sounded cool.. hehe..
