Yesterday night, I recieved a call from someone special whom I met in back National Service. That added to my (emotional) burden of thoughts and memories which I already was dealing with.
Well, I will save the story for myself but the memories which came back to me also brought along a song which me and the boys used to sing at night at our dorms to the stars, hoping that in our counterparts' dorms, the song could be heard.
Lela - Bidadari
Kenangan silam aku dan dirimu
Berdua sesama bermadu
Saling berjanji sehidup semati
Hakikat di dunia ini
Segala yang dikata
Harus di kota
Ibarat adam dan juga hawa
Alangkah indah
Sewaktu bercinta
Tiada senjata
Yang dapat menghalang kita
Kau umpama bidadari
Suci bagai embun pagi
Tapi aku belum pasti
Apakah cintamu itu suci
Kau hadir membawa erti
Penawar di kala sepi
Sehangat dian yang menyinari
Bersama cintamu abadi
This song like the one before is beautiful yet has hints of pain in it. Such emotion...

Your Song
Been about quite a lot this week. Every day in fact. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Bah, what's done is done and all I can do now is just look back and smile/frown.
Sometime earlier this week (methinks t'was Monday), Dong approached me and asked me to audition for the BBQ Night Acoustics. He offerred to play the guitar.
Nearly everyday of this week I've been having dinner or at least a meal with JoA before she drops me off (I'm so grateful for that). On Thursday, after classes and some sit-down-and-bullshit sessions, JoA and I had lunch in Champs in Bandar Utama Centerpoint. The noodles she ordered were CRAZY... They were like, a portion for like, 2 and a half people. Restecp! She finished it all up (save for the vegetables and the squid which she offerred to me). I could barely finish up my pork chops (which so wisely came with rice). Afterwards, we went to Sunway Pyramid to go bowling. We invited Loretta & Dong who gladly came. While waiting, we did some window shopping and found out that JoA knew even less than I did when it came to bag shopping (wahahaha). As we walked along, I noticed that something was wrong with JoA. She seemed to be having a fuzzy head. She had to take off her lens. By the time she'd taken off her lens, Dong & Loretta had reached pyramid and were en route to the bowling alley. We met them there and began bowling. It was a sight to see indeed. I'm not a pro-bowler but the 2 of them were hilariously cute when they were bowling. Their antics kept us entertained till about 5-6pm.
After that session of laughs, we went over to a Cendol vendor on the roadside somewhere in Subang near SS15 and got us some. I recieved a phone call for a survey on handphones and I was doing the survey all the way while I watched my Cendol melt in front of me. The bunch beside me were having odd conversations, I couldn't hear them at all. By the time I put down the phone, my Cendol was completely melted. I didn't enjoy that. It wasn't good anyway. While I was holding it, the sugar was dripping and had gotten onto my fingers. Damn, that was disgusting, it dried up and got sticky and.... urgh!
Having "refreshed" ourselves at the Cendol stall, we went over to Dong's place to begin the jamming session. Jamming is just SO fun. For the first jamming session, I'd say it went quite well (but I need to memorize lyrics). Loretta was more than happy to jam along. He did wonders to the songs. We're still trying to coax him into auditioning with us but the fellow is still shy and reserved. He needs to see how essential it would be for him to join us. Another guitarist and vocalist can do lots better than what only Dong and I would be able to pull off.
The songs which we were initially thinking of playing were Jason Mraz - I'm Yours, Howie Day - Collide, John Mayer - Your Body is a Wonderland and Ryan Cabrera - True. We found out that most auditioners only played 2 songs. Within the 2 days, we decided that we'd still play I'm Yours (your song :D) and we somehow came up with a little ensemble of 3 songs: Jay Chou - Qing Tian, Joan Osbourne - (What if God was) One of Us & Peterpan - Mimpi Yang Sempurna. It's a little rickety because it was an impromptu make-up song but it can be done and according to JoA's ears (the genius herself), it sounded good. Well, I guess that makes up the second song which we're playing for the audition then.
After jamming on Friday night, JoA dropped off Loretta and then beat me up with a yellow (think Sin City) pillow at the traffic light before dropping me off.
What ensued after she dropped me off was emotional. I will stop at that. There was this wierd guy who came up to me in the train as I was closing my eyes and just "emo-ing" and asked me what station I was getting off at. I wasn't the nicest person to him. I just stared at him.

Nothing But A Dream
Peterpan
Mimpi yang Sempurna
Mungkinkah bila ku bertanya
Pada bintang-bintang,
Dan bila ku mulai merasa
bahasa kesunyian.
Sadarkan aku yang berjalan, dalam kehampaan
Terrdiam, terpana, terbata.
Semua dalam keraguan
Aku dan semua yang terluka karena kita.
Aku kan menghilang,
Dalam pekat malam,
Lepas ku melayang,
Biarlah ku bertanya
Pada bintang-bintang
Tentang arti kita
dalam mimpi yang sempurna.
This is indeed a beautifully melancholic song.
My kind of song. I love the composition,
I love the lyrics, I love Peterpan.
Not really up for pouring my heart out onto this blog for now.
Right now I do most of that in my singing and my guitar.

Robber of the Ocean's Blue
O'er all the calm in the seas, All the blue grows but bluer,
All the pain grows but truer,
O'er moaning under the breeze.
The grumbling sands seem to bleed,
Ev'ry breath it breathes unto,
Shells- husks of dead sink into
the sands, torn from their creed.
Beyond the silky, tear-rimmed shore,
Deeper still into the spray,
Lurks the dark and far-away
eye of the storm, pain grows more.
Within the heart of this all,
Lie shreds of hope, long since lost.
All are but lingering ghosts,
Which never let the storm fall.
Cry now in eternal grief, O'er the pain that keeps growing.
Sigh now but not in relief, For the gale that keeps blowing.
Found now, is this Ocean's thief...

Bowling: Singing Fingers & A Sore Butt
Monday. College. The new semester really took off today. My two other classes began today as well, which leaves me with a full week of classes. This short semeseter will get the best of me before I even know it. I have a lot of work to do, lots of studying to study and a body-clock to knock into shape (yeah right, fat-chance if you ask me).
I will not talk about classes unless I find it necessary to do so and I'm sure sooner or later the day will come when you will be able to make a course outline from all the details I give you about my school-work but until then, I shall avoid it till (as I've said) necessary.
Well, let's see where do I begin, ah yes, the morning. When I woke up to my irritating alarm. I snoozed it a bit too much and that got me out of bed at like, 5.30am. A restless night. I lay in bed from 2.30 till past 4 just trying to go to bed but my head wouldn't shut up (I know that's freaky, but yeah.). Thoughts just kept racing through my head, ethics of all things. Ethics!!
So yeah, I got up late and in a flurry, I had to leave the house after getting ready. I stood like an idiot being stood up there for about half an hour waiting for the retarded bus to come along so I could go and reload my phone so I could wake The Fuz up. By the time I'd done that, it was already too late to make the time we agreed on to meet JoA at the train station in Subang. She called and in her morning grace, decided that she would wait for us. We made it. Late of course, we can't really be naive enough to believe that the Malaysian public transport system. JoA gave me directions which managed to confuse the sleep-deprived Wayne. The Fuz & I ended up jay-walking to the other side of the main road only to recieve a call later from JoA further confusing the sleep-deprived Wayne and causing me to think that we needed to jay-walk back across the street. On reaching the intended rendezvous point, there was no sign of JoA or Daniel (her car). Then, I recieved a phone call and turned around to see a frantically waving figure of a girl on the other side of the well-trafficked road. The figure seemed to be on the phone screaming "Look over here, on the other side, I'm over here!". So we jay-walked once again, towards the car and yeah, that was the story of how I got from Klang to college today.
Between classes today, we went to check our results for last semester's examinations [insert suspense music here]. JoA, Stef & yours truly went over to the library to do this. On seeing my results, I was relieved and almost was about to say "yippee!" (no, I didn't do exceptionally well. I just got better grades than I thought I would) when JoA told me what she got and when I noticed how down she'd gotten. I immediately suppressed my "yippee!" and only made it known that I was relieved. I decided to try to cheer JoA up a bit, I decided to test myself while I was at it and challenged her to a few games of bowling after my class ended. In the meantime, she also kindly agreed to wait my class out by sitting in on it with me for my first class of Public Speaking (which was boring). I also managed to convince her to join in to help out with some ceremony which ARCCADE was holding on Saturday (yay).
After class, we headed to Midvalley megamall to hit the pins. Once we left college, it started raining cats and dogs. We could hardly see but we managed to reach megamall in 3 pieces (her, Daniel & Moi). We went bowling. It was embarassing. I used to play every week in the school bowling society back in the day. I was a decent player. That is no longer the case it seems. JoA ended up teaching me how to play. It was embarrassing no doubt but hey, we had fun. I was just glad to see her laughing again (so sue me). After the 2 games of being thrashed by JoA, her knee ached and we were going to meet up with The Fuz, Carment, Joel & Pearly for food. After seeing them, leaving my bag behind, losing them, wandering around and finally calling and finding them, we sat down to have a good and well-deserved stare at Carment and Pearly enjoy their Asam Laksa (food). Afterwards, we went to the food court where JoA & The Fuz had somemore food while the others and myself had dessert (I made one round of the food court and nothing caught my eye).
Soon, JoA had to go so she went. The rest of us wandered around a bit more (we seem to enjoy doing that) and then Carment & Pearly decided they should head home. After they did that, we thought we'd follow suit but on getting into Joel's car, he said 2 letters which sort of woke me up "CS". We headed over to Damansara Jaya and played some CS till about 11 something and then headed home.
It's been a day indeed. My right thumb, index & middle fingers were singing after bowling and my butt hurts. I had fun. I enjoyed myself. I hope everyone else did as well. Well now, I should make preparations for tomorrow. I don't want to snooze my alarm again in the morning (I hope not, Haha).
I will not talk about classes unless I find it necessary to do so and I'm sure sooner or later the day will come when you will be able to make a course outline from all the details I give you about my school-work but until then, I shall avoid it till (as I've said) necessary.

Welcome to Klang.
Yesterday, JoA came down to Klang and met up with The Fuz and myself. After she reached Klang, she gave me a call (which woke me up after I completely missed the first one) and asked me how to get to my place. The funny thing was that we had a little breakdown of communications and I - having just woken up - wasn't fully functioning yet. She got lost in the process (haha). After a few more directions and a U-turn, we discovered that she'd actually gone the right way and had actually overshot my place (haha again). After finally picking me up and getting to The Fuz's place, we went off to eat some Bah Kut Teh.
After the meal, we took JoA to do what she'd come down for: her guitar. The shop-owner was a friend of Fuzzy's and she was very hospitable and verbose. After JoA had chosen her guitar, we went hunting for JoA's bed-frame. We went around to a few shops till we finally decided that we could look into Courts Mammoth. On reaching the Mammoth, we spotted a furniture shop beside it and decided to compare prices and look for the best deal (what any other logical shopper would do when presented with more than one shop selling the same thing). After walking to both shops twice, JoA chose her bed and got a matress with it. After this, we went for some "sweet soup" ("Tong Sui") called "Aeroplane" ("Be Gi") or also known as Len Chee Kang. Haha, apparrently Fuzzy never had it before either. Well, I'm glad they liked it. After that, we were dropped home and thus ended a short yet fun-filled day.
The night wasn't near as entertaining as the day. Last night we were meant to sign up online for tutorials for our Social Psychology class at 9pm. We (Fuzzy, JoA & Myself) were there waiting at 8.45pm and just waiting for the time to sign up. When the clock struck 9, the expected happenned, the server crashed. There were what, 70+ people logged on and probably another 20-30 trying to get onto the site and it crashed? What a pathetic server. to make things worse, the geniuses up in the department decided to bind the tutorials for Social Psychology and Human Personality classes which made students who were doing only one of the two subjects non-eligible to sign up online and had to do so manually the next day in college. Such stunning efficiency, such sparkling logic... I was so irritated by this. Irritated by their insolence. I cooled off as fast as I'd gotten peeved. Besides, getting all aggro wouldn't make the server come back to life and magically make the tutorial sign up upload through all those 100+ students hacking away at the Refresh button. JoA and I decided that we'd sign up online first anyway, just so that we could reserve our slots in that tutorial. I just lay back and waited it out. Others really didn't take this well and I don't blame them. The server got back up at about 11-ish? That's like, an hour or two after the stated time. Sure the site died on the server but don't you think that if a server can't even support less than 150 users, it should be deleted and spoken bad about for the next decade or two?
Oh well, enough about that. Now, onto today. This morning, I dragged myself out of my bed at 6.25am, 35 minutes after the initial alarm went off. I just HAD to watch 3 episodes of Prison Break before i went to sleep (haha). I got myself ready and then headed out towards The Fuz's place. Sent him a message saying I was on my way. I didn't get a reply. I thought he just didn't feel the need to reply. I reached his house and stood outside and sent him another message telling him that I was at his gate. After waiting for about half an hour, I called him. He didn't pick up. I thought he was in the shower. I gave him 15 minutes and called again. He was asleep. After dragging him out of bed, we set out to the train station. We were headed to Subang today. We were going to rendezvous with JoA and from there we'd go on to college to settle the issue of our tutorials (read about it under Yesterday). We went up and discussed things with Jue Ying, an admin in the CFP (Center for Psychology) who set things right. I helped Stef sign up as well but sadly, Fuzzy couldn't make it into the same tutorial group as JoA, Stef and Me. Bummer. After that had been done, we went over to Lan's Corner to have breakfast (yes this was all done before 9.30am).
The horror, I ordered a cheese thosai (Fuzzy said it was good) which ended up not having a single ounce of cheese in it! The horror!!!! I will never order thosai (with the exception of thosai masala) ever again!
After the not-so-good breakfast, we were off, to Low Yatt Plaza. The Fuz needed to get his router checked, buy DVDs and get some speakers; JoA was out to find herself a pair of earphones, get her modem replaced and on the way, she got herself an FM modulator (something which allows you to transmit music/radiowaves to radios OR in English it means that she can play mp3s in her car with a pendrive); and myself, I was out to get a set of speakers for my babe Celeste (yes, I'm a geek who names his beloved possessions).
After walking about Low Yatt for a couple of hours looking into and comparing prices, we eventually got our stuff and then, headed towards Midvalley Megamall to meet with Sue Jern to spend our MPH vouchers which we won last semester during the Colloquium for our Ergonomics project. I just walked around the bookstore staring into books which caught my eye without the slightest intent to buy because I wasn't crazy over buying any books. As it is I have quite a few at home which I hadn't finished reading yet. Besides, I'd already promised my share of the voucher to JoA earlier on.
I wandered around some and then wandered somemore and then a bit more till I noticed I had lost JoA and I didn't see her at all through all of the 4-5 rounds I'd made through the bookstore. Initially I was looking for her to let her know that Sue Jern had finished choosing what she wanted and was waiting for us to get done. JoA's absence didn't really strike me at first since she enjoyed reading a lot, I thought that she'd probably wandered off somewhere I missed. I finally decided to call her because Sue Jern was just standing around and I felt that she was getting a little impatient. JoA didn't pick up. I began to worry right about then. She wasn't in the store and she wasn't picking up and didn't let anyone know where she was. I was worried. I made one more round of the store. Still no JoA. Called her again, she still didn't pick up. Just as I was about to call her again, she popped out from behind a book rack. Relief! She'd been on the phone and I guess she had her call waiting function on which explained why I could still call her. Well, we payed up and Sue Jern had to leave. JoA finished up her phone call and we decided that we would go to Klang again to eat. We did, we went over to Port Klang and went to this old school Chinese tea shop which served Western food (Coolness)! After that, we went to our homes again.
These two days have been really fun as this is probably one of the few times my friends from KL or anywhere else have come down to Klang (what's more twice in two days). Well, I guess this is just lots of fun which I hope will make getting through this semester easier.
After the meal, we took JoA to do what she'd come down for: her guitar. The shop-owner was a friend of Fuzzy's and she was very hospitable and verbose. After JoA had chosen her guitar, we went hunting for JoA's bed-frame. We went around to a few shops till we finally decided that we could look into Courts Mammoth.

As it is I have quite a few at home which I hadn't finished reading yet. Besides, I'd already promised my share of the voucher to JoA earlier on.
I wandered around some and then wandered somemore and then a bit more till I noticed I had lost JoA and I didn't see her at all through all of the 4-5 rounds I'd made through the bookstore. Initially I was looking for her to let her know that Sue Jern had finished choosing what she wanted and was waiting for us to get done. JoA's absence didn't really strike me at first since she enjoyed reading a lot, I thought that she'd probably wandered off somewhere I missed. I finally decided to call her because Sue Jern was just standing around and I felt that she was getting a little impatient. JoA didn't pick up. I began to worry right about then. She wasn't in the store and she wasn't picking up and didn't let anyone know where she was. I was worried. I made one more round of the store. Still no JoA. Called her again, she still didn't pick up. Just as I was about to call her again, she popped out from behind a book rack. Relief! She'd been on the phone and I guess she had her call waiting function on which explained why I could still call her. Well, we payed up and Sue Jern had to leave. JoA finished up her phone call and we decided that we would go to Klang again to eat. We did, we went over to Port Klang and went to this old school Chinese tea shop which served Western food (Coolness)! After that, we went to our homes again.
These two days have been really fun as this is probably one of the few times my friends from KL or anywhere else have come down to Klang (what's more twice in two days). Well, I guess this is just lots of fun which I hope will make getting through this semester easier.
