Hostel Is Officially A Better Place! - 11.11.09

I foresee sunshine in my upcoming week. No more bad days, troubles, and with an Internet connection, I feel soooooooo alive, wooooot!

BUT!!! It has been stressful. VERY stressful. P1 W1Max managed to drive me nuts for six times in two weeks lah, geez.

In fact, it was so much to the point that on one time, I unlocked my hostel room door, slammed it hard, and screamed "FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!" before realizing my roomie was inside. Ooops. The word was long and draggy, too.

Sigh, I have no more reason to complain about him thinking that I'm a nutjob. DIE. Thank god that shit's all over! Let's just pray very hard the frickin' modem doesn't malfunction in the middle of my Facebook-ing again.

Yours truly,

Mervin, but seriously people, P1 sucks. Marilah kita boycott P1!

P.S. I have a class at 8 in the morning tomorrow, and it's 4.45 a.m. What the shit am I doing awake at this hour? Thank you, double-caffeinated teh tarik.

From 21 To 12. - 07.11.09

Penas turned 21 last Thursday. The master plan was to spend the whole night celebrating at Dreamz Cafe, but shit just happens, and our plans got screwed. Showered her with tons of presents, though.

Oh well, 21st birthdays are all that jazz. Decided for next Saturday to be the celebration day. Wait for my proper update.

November is a month full of birthdays. Go figure my meaning, muahahaha. XP



Yours truly,
Mervin, the teddy bear is sooooo cute!!!

P.S.

It's Been A Boring Week, Sigh. - 05.11.09

No shooting zombies.
No PLK.
No random dinners.
No nothing.

This sucks lahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! *screams*

Hence, this post'll be about a hundred random farts, in no particular order. Okay la, I'm exaggerating. My numbers are all screwed, so yeah.

#1.
I've got a stalker. Or more like my class's got a stalker.

Wherever we go, he's there. Dressed up in slacks and a shirt that's probably XXXL size, and he's smaller sized than me la, wtf. Can't help staring at him everytime I see his nerdoh face.

Once, he touched Say Er on the shoulder, and asked for the time. That made her jump and pull faces when she turned away from him. Now guess what? According to another female friend of mine, he did the exact same thing to her!

M-hmmmm.

PERVERT!!!!!

I know I'm being evil for posting this up, but I DON'T CARE.



#2.

Hey asshole. you're irritating more people than you think. And I'll be there to watch the day you drown in everybody's hate.

Mark my words, I'll be the first one laughing, saying "I TOLD YOU SO!".

Asshole!!!



#3.
Just for fun and curiosity.... Should I? Should I not?


FYI, that's a wristband. So innovative laah. I should be an entrepreneur!! ROFL.

Anyway, I showed this to some friends, and they said I should try it out someday. And now, Penas's demanding I keep it on as her birthday present. So tough, so tempting too!

So FINE. Try it, I shall. Adventurous, I know. I guess that's the best word to describe me? XD Yeeeeehah.



#4.
One random afternoon, I was in high spirits. Waited for the elevator, and the moment the door opened, I greeted the three or four people in there with a big "HI!" with a huge smile (:D) plastered on my face.

Wrong move.

Who'd know their reactions would be so unfriendly?! Dammit, they were looking at me as though I'd just escaped some mental facility. Turned away in shame, and I could've sworn their eyes were drilling into the back of my head.

Was I really so insane? God knows.

Obviously, desperate times call for desperate measures. Was supposed to stop at the 8th floor, but I took the stairs at the 3rd(!!) to avoid further embarrassment, the noob that is me, tsk.

From now onwards, I vow to listen to mummy's advice : Do not talk to greet strangers. Go die.



#5.
OBJECTIVE COMPLETE!

It's not that I have a laptop.

It's just I want a backpack, cannot meh?

And now that I have one, I'm so darn jumphappy! Love the design, love the colors, and just the fact that's it's a backpack. Yet again, couldn't have done it without CCY. Sankyuuu!!!!!



#6.
We're the IN group.

I've survived breaking once, I WILL survive it again, even if it's without them.



#7.

Left 4 Dead 2 is coming out soon! And when I say soon, I mean real soon! Like super super super soon! Like twelve-more-days-kinda-soon!

I'm so impatient I can go jakun all week long. Gomen.



#8.
I guess this wraps up my Monday to Thursday morning?

Okehh. Mervin is signing off.

Yours truly,
Mervin, Mr Wong, I BENCI SANGAT AKAN YOU!!!!!

Does It End Here? - 01.11.09

It's really sad when friends drift apart. It's inevitable. Friends will, sooner or later, walk on different directions. And some prematurely walk too far off till you can't see them anymore.

I know it's unavoidable. But I just can't help feeling shot when I bump or look at photos of them and we're like random strangers, when they used to be such a big part of my life (at least, they were for two weeks).

You get it, don't you?

I do believe that some bonds can never be truly broken, if those friends are worth spending some time to preserve it. The optimist in me says so.

The question is..... are they worth it?

I sometimes think if it was my fault. For not being as great as him, for not being as perky as her, and for not being plain myself.

I never wanted it to end this way. But they don't seem to bother.



Yours truly,
Mervin.

Boo. - 31.10.09

Ello.

Ugh, it's one of the days where I'm just not in the mood. But for the sake of my beloved blog, the choice is update now, or..... one week later after I return from my hostels. =P

No friggin' connection there la, what to do?

It all started with...

Booze, dance, and all that shit.

A professional DJ as a relative is cool. I want one too!

He was already wasted that time.

The rest was history.


Happy 21st, Nigel! And to quote Russell Peters...

" Be a man! Do the right thing! "

Okehh, the end of my very short and very stupid post.



Yours truly,
Mervin, Happy Halloween people!!!

What're We Having, Blood Or Coffee? - 30.10.09

Is it me, or is EVERYTHING suddenly so happening? Friends, studies, teachers that piss me off (in good and bad ways), and every other whatnot. Ahhhh, I'm not complaining.

BUT!!!!! I do wanna complain bout this sem's timetable. Screw it! Too many bloody breaks! (pun intended) 2 hours, 2.5 hours, and some even extend to 3! Thankfully, our college is near TBR. *ahem ahem*


3 bucks worth of evil fun, so how can we not?

You'll never see me in a more sadistic mood. Planning strategies and proceeding to strangle, tear or vomit on humans is just so epic!

And according to Ding, he's never seen me not being me. Perhaps I've got a split personality? One more bent on being evil?

Hoho. The mind boggles!

=.= My mom thinks I'm going crazy, sigh.



OR.... we just stop by Pak Li's Kopitiam. Okay, I take my word back. PLK is lightyears better than OldTown, period.

On the other hand, guess what? "Stop by" is a wee bit understated. Whenever we're there, we somehow manage to behead 3 hours in no time at all. =) Gossips, laughs, jokes, all-theory-no-practical, bitches, and coffee always completes the day.



Yours truly,
Mervin, looking forward to next Monday's 2 hour break!

P.S. Just discovered I'm a caffeine addict! If I don't get my night coffee, my hands shake uncontrollably. Was trynna thread an accessory into my camera last night, but my hands were doing their thing again. And what perfect timing to run out of coffee! Walked all the way to TBR just to get one stickpack. This. Is. Scary.

I'm Leaving This Post Untitled. - 25.10.09

No, not really, I'm just too lazy to think of a title for a short post like this. =P

Anyway, I don't know if she'll see this on time (eventhough I told her to), but I still wanna wish Kelly a happy happy birthday here.

So to the girl I've shared many laughs, good times, poses, photos, fitting rooms, SPM stresses and Kancil's Crash Course boredom, Happy Birthday!!!! =D


Have a good one, despite your exams, huhu.

Will see you next Saturday!

BUT!!!! First question. Dinner where?

Second and the most important question....

You belanja onot? ROFLMAO.



Yours truly,
Mervin, it seems I've got plans every week. Perfection.

P.S. Designing and changing a blogskin is total stress. So many HTML errors! Am never editing it again, sighh.

Lunch... Saffrons of Suffering. - 24.10.09

Wheeee, I'm back. Continuing from my previous post. I woke up to Yi Hui's mom (right in front of me) telling me to go down for breakfast. To be honest, I was starving, but since I didn't want to look greedy, I waited for at least 2 more people to wake up to start eating.

In the meantime, discovered that watching people sleep is amusing. So twisted!




Thank god we bought too much food. There were extra egg tarts too! Leftovers never tasted so gobsmacking.

After that, all we did was pass time. 2 hours of piano, mahjong, gossip, more Korean flicks, more gay entertainment.




And just like that, it was time to leave. Packed our stuff, crammed 11 people into two cars, and it was off for Kumitha's Deepavali open house. It wasn't pleasant, but at least I could still feel my ass when I got out. :S



I havent' been to a Deepavali open house before. I've been to CNYs, Rayas, Christmases, but no Deepavali. Expected tons of spicy stuff. I think it was the same for most of us anyway, but nevermind that.

Do you know what a kum kum is? I don't, but that didn't stop us from playing around with the stickers.



Now we know how we'll look like if we were Indians.


Strangely, we were very quiet. Like HELL quiet. Or at least, quieter than usual.Didn't crack much jokes, didn't run around whacking each other. Don't look at us weirdly. Polite ma!

Main course was... bittersweet. So tasty, yet so spicy! The best dish was the hottest, phew.


Ate with our hands, where Leno and Jun displayed their pro skills. Downed countless glasses of soft drink, water, and ice. I've no pictures of these moments, though, so you guys just have to envision what happened la, k? Just picture everyone (Samson especially) on fire, and you've got it just about right.

Naturally, I overate again. That was hell to my body.


Sigh. I've got other stuff to do, besides the fact I'm lazy. So fine. Pictures, pictures, pictures.








Oh, Kumithaa's scarf came in of good use, too.







Yours truly,
Mervin, LAZY LAAAA!!!!

Three Floors of Syiok-ness. - 21.10.09

One big house. Two birthday people. Three couples. A huge feast.

That was how it was last Friday, when we planned to celebrate Yi Hui's and Hong Sin's birthday at her new house, and for a few of us to spend the night at her house.

The initial plan was for me to help the Wangsa people cook up some stuff after the lecture, but since Yi Hui needed help preparing food, me and Peggy layaned.

Anyway, time seemed to creep so slowly in the boring, useless lecture. But when it was all over, woooooah - SALVATION. Jumped into SayEr's bf's car, and reached YiHui's front door at 4. First thing that crossed my mind was...

"Okay. Biiiiiiiig house."

My house is nowhere as giganto as hers! Mind you, I'm the #1 budak bandar in my class, gahh. And the fact that her mom's got incredible taste makes it a ++++++ point.


Anyway, since the others would only be arriving around 7-ish, the three of us were stuck with a gazillion minutes of boredom. Couldn't sleep, was too pumped. Couldn't jump on the bed, they were hard. Couldn't start cooking, or the fried stuff would turn mushy.

So while Yi Hui slept and Peggy read, I busied myself with my camera. Here we go =D







Yi Hui, are you absolutely, positively, 100% SURE you don't wanna buy my photos? Hahahha.






So at 6, we started cooking. Lots of frying means lots of hard work. But at the same time, it means more tasting the cooking, if you know what I mean.


FYI, we actually burnt the nuggets to make them crispy, okay. Extra time went into the oil, but to no avail. You'll see why.

We were also afraid that there wouldn't be enough food to feed around 25 mouths, so we stressed for a while on some additional food. Salad? Soup? More meehoon? Majority won, so we made sandwiches. Tuna, which is one of my absolute favs.


Didn't know it would be so easy. Bread, butter, tuna, lettuce, bread.The hardest part was waiting for additional bread to arrive.

The end result was niiiiiice. I like.


See the egg tarts? They're from Tong Kee! Superb. Typing this makes me crave for more egg tarts.

As mentioned, the others would only arrive at 7. While waiting for them, those already there did nothing but eat and eat and eat.


Hence, we were already full even before the party already began. Not that smart a move. That brought death to my waistline, groan.

And everything fried went from crispy to mushy. Broke my heart when I saw that. Still tasted okay though, so all was good.



At 9.30, the others finally arrived, and (to my horror) brought more food. I'm a monster when it comes to food, but I have my limits, okay!!!


I remember this most out of everything else. Sweetened creamer, leong fun, cendol, and longan. The taste? Use your imagination. Let's just leave it at that.

But here's a hint : YiHui's mom told Samson she'll only drink it only if she's totally thirsty. *Gasps*


There was just so much food! Oh my shit. Was so full I could hardly sit up straight. I shall never overestimate my stomach capacity, ever again. Ughh.

BUT!!!! Everyone said the sandwiches were awesome. Success!!!! Victory!!! Or whatever you call it laah. Maybe it's because they weren't there to see how we made the sandwiches, teehee. =P

Good times.





Poor boy wasn't feeling too well that night. Fever, vomiting, chills. But Mangcket Foo's much better now, or so Say Er says.


Anyway, despite my bloated stomach, I felt like being healthy. Do the right thing! Went out for a walk with a few others.

All I can say is... It. Was Quiet. 90% of the houses were still unoccupied, and so there was that lonely feeling. Something I don't experience at Subang. Sometimes it just feels good to take a break from all that crap noise and pollution on the streets.


Us sesat people terrorized the playground, too. Ridiculed the see-saws, almost broke the swings, and made untypable sounds. *ugh ugh* From afar, the playground was alive with the laughter of 5-year-olds. Laugh all you want, we're all little kids deep inside, no?


Went back with just enough time for some rest, drying off (we were sweaty, hm) and cake cutting! Wheee. Sang three versions of the birthday song. I believe it's one of our traditions now?




Blueberry Chilled Cheese, and Orange Delight, although the stupid cake shop messed up my order, sheesh.




No prizes for guessing which cake was better, hee. Then, picture time! Okay, funny awkward moments.

That's her mom in the middle. Thanks aunty, for the tasty chow mein, for being such a great host, and for letting us vandalize your house. XP




Just realized that boys really DO come from different dimensions than girls. Obvious reasons photos why.


Can't you tell? :S


Rest of the day was duller, but still happening la. All I did was play cho dai di. No money gambling, but... I got slaughtered. Didn't win a single round! I should really play more, sighh. A Korean por-nedy (go figure) was thrown in, too.

T'was very tiring. Crashing on her mattress never felt better. But seeing that many big, neverending smiles made it all worth it.

Shall continue this post another time, cos' this one's so long it's not even funny!

Wait for my proper update.



Yours truly,
Mervin, remember. TONG KEE.

Results.

Well, results from last sem's exams are out. 1A, 4A-, 1B+.

I know they're not too shabby, but somehow, I feel I did better than that. I remember smiling confidently when I walked out the exam hall. The rest is a stupid blur.

But I really think I did better okay!!!

Ahhh... I guess I've learnt not to expect too much, right? And not to be a perfectionist, too. So screw that, yeah.



But then again, my teacher just HAD to tell me that I was just 1(!!) mark away from scraping another A. That managed to piss the bejeesus out of me. How can you sleep easy after knowing that?!

I'm gonna be hating the number 'ONE' for a looooooong time.

Yours truly,
Mervin, I'm kiasu. So?

Asshole, Asshole, ASSHOLE!!!!

I have quite a couple of things to post, but I'm gonna budge all of that aside for now, because I want to make a post about an asshole. Just for him. No names though. Just a vague gist of what's up, nothing more.

So, this asshole. Yeap.

It's been almost a year since I threw him out of my life, but due to some unfortunate circumstances, I have to deal with him again, sigh.

And it's really something to know that after all he's been through with his own friends, he still hasn't changed ONE BIT. Insensitive, inconsiderate, and blunt. I kinda saw this coming, but alaah.

Dial A for ASSHOLE, indeed.

So after 9 months of being away, this asshole decides to announce his return by publicly insulting me, even when he KNOWS thats exactly what ticks me off.

Fine, I let that slip.

But... hey, asshole. You have no right to say I don't do anything, when you don't know what I'm doing. Neither do you pass the buck to someone else the moment you walk into the meeting room, when it's your duty to do it.

If you're just up for the title and certificate, just say so. After all, even the people close to you say they don't trust you. Sounds nice, doesn't it?

In retrospect, things wouldn't have been so screwed up with the 3 girls if only I'd given up on you earlier on. But I was naive. I believed in you. I looked up to you. And to think I wanted to BE you, ugh.

I'm over that sort of stupidity, pfft.


For those who stood up for me, defended me when I wasn't there, thank you. I is grateful.


I don't usually write hate posts. For one, I suck at it. Too childish, even for someone like me. But this time, I'm so pissed I just have to express it.

So I'm gonna scream it here on the WorldWideWeb because the asshole doesn't read my blog anyway. At least, I think he doesn't.

Oh well, if he does, it's no biggie. He's blunt, but I'm sure he knows I hate him enough to do gory things to his tiny balls without a pinch of remorse.

One last word.

ASSHOLE!!!!!


Yours truly,
Mervin.

When Pigs Go Crazy.

What do we do when there's a two and a half hour break, and suddenly english lessons get called off, adding yet ANOTHER break hour?

Watch a movie, what else?

After Say Er went coocoo over Sorority Row screaming it was a must-watch, me, Yi Hui, Sam and Jeremy decided to make a run for KLCC to catch it, with lessons resuming at 2 o'clock. But ugh, GSC just had to place Sorority Row AT 2 o'clock.

Arrggggh.

But but but.... we are not people who go home empty handed and so we switched over to plan B : PICK RANDOM MOVIE.

Ended up with some Korean horror named Chaw.

For the record, I was, and am not a big fan of movies in any other language besides Chinese and English, so I was a little skeptical when I sat down.

The wild mutated beast that kills, and no kidding; That's what the entire movie's about. Some wild pig grew to be larger than Pumbaa from the Lion King, and starts eating people up.

THAT. IS. ALL.

The animation of Pumbaa's grandson wasn't that real, and every second in the movie felt so fake. But still okay laah.

The comedy and pain scenes did manage to piss me off, though. Childish, and a bit too try hard at times. The calafares are just fuggly faces on the screen in need of acting lessons, mainly because they can't act for nuts. Wanted to stab each one of them in their guts, gahh.

Oh, the ending? Shit stupid, something involving Photoshop's bloat or pucker tool. I'm knocking two points off for that. Take that, Korea. =P

But DO watch out for tha part when two cops piss together at the roadside, or when they set the lead actor's ass on fire with gunpowder. Take my word for it, they'll leave you stupefied, giggling and whispering "WTF?!?"

So ok. For my first Korean flick..... 5.5/10?

Still watchable, okay!!!


Blergh. Maybe I'm just too fussy when it comes to movies.

Or.... maybe I'm just looking for reasons to stick to English movies. XD

Went back half an hour late for class. Whoops!


Personal note: Bring sweater to movies. I learnt that very cold lesson that day, seeing as my butt nearly turned to ice.



Yours truly,
Mervin, it still hurts.

Sushi King's RM2 Promotion @ KLCC

Wednesdays are not one of my busiest days, and so I made big plans to storm Sushi King's 2 dollar promotion. Hm, it was a while since I last had sushi.

Good ones, mind you. Not those cheap things you get from Carrefour or Giant.

Sadly, only a maximum of 6 people are allowed per table, and that's IF you even have the membership card. Thank you, CCY. Couldn't have done it without you (and your card, of course).

So, the initial plan was for 5 people to go. Somehow, we managed to entice5 other people into coming along. I guess the more the merrier. Wheee. Was so happy thinking of all the salmon and scallops I was gonna swallow whole. Still had to split into separate groups though, tsk.


Arrived there around 4-ish, and even then, there was a queue! Glanced into the shop and it was full. All greedy little humans.


Picture pixellated to protect the privacy of that beautiless woman (check out the english, yo!).

I'm evil, I know. What're you gonna do? Hahhah!



Thankfully, we didn't have to wait long. Only 10 minutes, phew.

Caught a sight of something that wrung a bit of a heartache before that. Felt so emo, but hey! Nothing's stopping me from enjoying my sushi with full pig-headedness, okay. Seeing the kaiten belt cheered me up. =)


So officially, LET THE EATING BEGIN!!!


I don't know about healthy, but heehhhhlll, you bet it's good. Even then, 'good' is an understatement.





I swear to God, we (more like I) didn't stop taking anything!!! Half raw scallops, prawn eggs and salmon kept appearing on our table like magic. And within 20 minutes, us being us, we finished 30 plates. Wooooot!



Sadly, I really regretted gobbling everything so quickly. Seating time per table is 1 hour (that's what happens when everyone enters Malaysiakiasu mode), and so we had many minutes of greent tea to kill.

Also, new types of sushi appeared on the belt right after we decided to stop, freak. Forgive me, fried scallop sushi. Nana kimi hotade.

And since neither group was sitting near the belt, we had to literally walk over and take.

Can you imagine? Felt so impolite, but I don't care. It's a 2-ringgit-per-plate-of-rice-based-sushi promotion.

GRAB.

Don't mind me. :D

Did I mention the other group actually waited for the purple plate? Determination and perseverance always pays off, right? After 20 minutes of waiting, they walked back with tempura prawns, dammit.

Sigh, those sad children.

Nope, *denying* I'm not jealous, ah, nope. =P

Oh, and Nitsume. I have no idea what you are, but ooooh, you're so good.

Tastes like soy sauce, but it's not. Tastes like caramel, but it's not. Tastes like both mixed together, but it's not! Dunno la, it's just.... NICE!!!!


What an experience, seriously!!! 69 bucks for a totally hearty meal. Everything was fresh, tasted good, and the feeling of taking as much as you can will always be awesome. Happy stomachs, though mine felt like bursting anytime.

I'll be there at the next promotion season. CCY, book a space on your card for me. If not, I'm not your friend anymore. Hah!


To end this post, I'll do a bit of promoting, since I feel like it.

For those of you who don't know, Sushi King has a membership card. Sign up, and you'll be able to enjoy the two-ringgit-per-plate-of-rice-based-sushi promotion, along with an exclusive cutlery set and vouchers worth 20 bucks you can use next year.

For those of you who don't know, the promotion is seasonal. Two seasons per year, and the promotion only applies to rice based sushi. Max seating time is one hour due to limited seats. Lastly, for thos eof you who don't know.....


Sushi King pwns ass.


Hmph. I should be getting commission for this.



Yours truly,
Mervin, next stop : Sakae Sushi. Anyone?

It Only Lasts For A Little While.

Yours truly is not feeling himself today because of emotional turbulences. I've never really felt this way in secondary school. It's a new feeling.

Loss? Regret? Fear, perhaps?

Knowing that in a blink of an eye (and seriously, I mean it more than ever), it's all over. Some of us'll be walking a separate way, and the remainder would have a little more borrowed time to spend together.


But in the end, it all boils down to the same thing : We WILL, sooner or later, say the dreaded goodbye.


Back then, I thought the saying "College is the best time of your life" was utter bullshit. It's only now that I realize how stupid I was.

Hahah, I love you nutcases. The love-hate thing, the yelling, laughing, homosexuality, behaving like the donkeys we are... I love them, and will always do. Cos' in the end, all that's left would be these memories.


I hate goodbyes, but as much as I dislike them, we can't avoid them. I'm still trying to come to terms with that, but I don't think I'll ever make it in time.

I don't think I even want to. I'm in denial.


And yet, am I really found?

Or still lost somewhere in the middle?


Oh God, it hurts. It really does.


Yours truly,
Mervin.
