I have social disease. I must go out every night. – Andy Warhol
I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. And was up and doing work since morning till midnight. Thought i would go home, take a long bath and chill. For i have a Corporate Lit. presentation tomorrow morning. Yes, Saturday morning, you got that right.
And suddenly!
BobbySeongMaryLisaKit and i decide to go for Dave Seaman in Zouk. We reached there at 1+ am. I was honestly fucking tired at midnight. Was falling asleep on the way back from work in Corean’s car. Than i started eating Pixie Stix and got all sugarhigh. Super sugarhigh i might add. I’m still awake now! I didn’t drink much lest i get sleepy and not do my work.
I can think of four friends from the top of my head that just came back to m’sia from canada/us/uk last week and are all sick now. It’s the heat. THE HEAT. THE HEAT.
It’s so fucking hot, one ‘fucking’ justifies it not. Already, it’s hot and sunny enough here. Now, it just feels like there is a hairdryer blowing you when you’re outside (as Dave says)
Rudy gave me a leet candlestick holder. It’s very fairy-like and i can’t wait to get some candles and take photos of it. Since my room is a war-torn mess (or a feng shui disaster as my dad would say), i decided to put the candlestick holder downstairs for the time being. I placed it on my dad’s significant marble table which only has his crystal quartz whatever ball and chinese vase on it. I think it’s some feng shui thing. Wait. It’s DEFINITELY some feng shui thing. So. Just now. He asked, “what’s your rubbish doing here? wait you knock over the ball than you know…” I replied, “I kneW you’ll ask me bout it!… you’re just afraid it’ll ruin your feng shui ‘arrangement’ and ‘atmosphere’ right!” My daddy just grinned at me. I am always right.
*thinks of past* ok. i take that back. i can sense retaliation from friends coming my way by saying that.
I forgot Aishah’s birthday!! it was two days ago and i totally forgot! Not ONLY did i FORGET, i totally didn’t know…. What made it WORSE is that she was showing Fizah and i a new Roxy leather wallet her bf gave her. As i was admiring it, i said, “Wah… damn nice wei! No occasion also got present man.” Shameless. Aishah is my best mate in college. She’s one of the three main things that make college life enjoyable for me.
Sorry Aishah….! Aishah, i am your slut for LIFE ok.
Happy 21st Birthday Aishah!
This was taken some weeks back when i was still a fabulous friend.
And you know what was worse? She gave me a postcard today! She gives nice-ass stuff to me sometimes, like a flower, or a card ‘just because’. And do i remember her birthday? NO. ARGHHH… *feels guilty all over again*
This is the postcard
The reason it tickled her fancy is because of the dog’s name: Booby. Only CE* people will name a dog Booby. Plus, the line at the bottom says ‘I like it after i eat spaghetti, lay myself down facing toward the sky’. Yes that is what it says. No i did not type it wrong.
This is what she wrote inside… gawd. It made me feel even more bad for forgetting her birthday.
*CE = Chinese Educated people. Usually only speak fluent chinese dialects and have an awful command of the english language **don’t get me wrong, i have nothing against them!
I dyed my hair today. But i’ve done this before bout 2 years back so noone’s surprised :p
Two people asked me whether i was really mad at this Kelvin fellow i wrote bout earlier. No la! I wasn’t okay! I was just being sarcastic. Christ… Kelvin and i have had this ongoing flirtation for months. It *was* on the verge of ‘almost’ till Aaron came along. Aww… poor Kelv. This is Kelv.
See how happy he is? A big happy picture it is too… Smile Kelvin Smile!
I stole a cookie from Mary just now. I accidentally dropped the last piece of it on the floor in VA. Being playful, i picked it up and held it out to Kelvin. Do you know what he did. Yes. I’m sure you’ve guessed. HE ATE IT. He KNEW it had dropped on the dirty carpet at VA (this cybercafe in Hartamas) and HE ATE IT. This is why Kelvin always manages to shock me. And yet. Yet. I always run up the stairs (okay so i don’t, i take the lift) to see him in VA.
Think of the germs! omg. Joyce hates germs. Joyce is so paranoid. omfg. i don’t want to kiss you ever Kelvin. Ever. i just took you off my ‘in-case’ list.
I shall (try to) sleep early tonight cos i’m supposed to go swimming tomorrow with Jess.
I went for wine and pate with Mich in Mont Kiara. I wasn’t in a particularly good mood at first but wine and chick bonding/laughing always does the trick.
I met up with Aaron after that. He gave me this serious face and said, “Actually… i want to talk to you about something serious. No, really, listen to me now…” “Ok… what…?” oh my god is he joking or what *we both have super serious faces* “I’ve been meaning to tell you for some time but i thought of waiting and i think i should tell you now…” “Ok… what iS it..” ok shit i don’t think he’s joking what on earth could it be *silence + serious expressions* “….” “yea….” oh no is it about me not spending time with his friends and him cos he always spends time with mary and ashley they all but i always run away “….” “well….??” argh this is killing me i think that’s the reason shit why is it taking him so long la can’t he just fucking sAY it and not be so female *aaron leans forward* “i smell alcohol.” “….” that’s it?! “you ar! drink drink drink…” “Cheh. That was it?” chehhhhh…wasting my time.
Did you feel like i was wasting your time making you read that? Yay. That makes the both of us. You know, everytime i write something now, i hear bloody Kelvin’s voice chanting in my head, “who wants to know this and that and this and that!!!”
I wish MSN has an ‘invisible’ mode. Everytime i go online, i don’t really want to chat. I just go on msn in case my real (i say real because i don’t mean friendster and strangers) friends and i have something interesting to say to each other. I usually don’t have TIME to chat. If my msn status says ‘away’. I *am* away. If it says ‘busy’. OBVIOUSLY i’m busy! Why the hell do ppl msg me asking ‘are you busy?’ And the thing is i can’t blow everyone off lest it’s someone i really HAVE met before and they figure me rude as fuck.
Okay, ya… i’m bitching alot. Well. The heat is getting to me. It’s so HOT.
I found this article which is so relevant to me:-
If you see a stray hair in the hotel bathroom sink, you may be so repulsed you call the front desk for a new room. Guess what? That’s nothing compared to the TV remote control, which you probably grabbed just after you put down your suitcase.
Think about it: Almost every guest in that room has touched it, the maid doesn’t clean it, and the dirt and bacteria are invisible. Bet you never thought about that before.
University of Arizona microbiology professor Chuck Gerba conducted a study of a dozen Tucson hotels. As the Arizona Republic put it, TV remotes hold more than batteries. “One of the dirtiest places in the room people don’t expect is the TV channel changer, believe it or not,” Gerba told the Republic. He has even found fecal bacteria on those remote controls.
Hotels know the room must be clean–very, very clean–to keep your business. In fact, safety and cleanliness are hotel guests’ top two priorities. But the reality is that not all hotels are clean.
Yes, you do get what you pay for. Microbiology professor Gerba said his research of those 12 Tucson hotels showed there is a “statistically significant” relationship between a room’s price and its bacteria levels. The higher the cost of the room, the fewer the bacteria. In addition to the remote control, Gerba’s team found fecal bacteria on toilet tank lids, sinks, and taps–all of which are places where moisture acts as a reservoir for bacteria.
What’s a traveler to do? Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or use alcohol gel to clean your hands after you touch items that are prone to bacteria. “That’s probably one of the best defenses you can use,” Gerba told the Arizona Republic. “Just remember, every place you’re touching, someone else did it before you.”
And if the hotel room doesn’t look or smell clean, it isn’t. Complain!
And why is it relevant? Well just read what Ash wrote bout me in her last paragraph on May 16.
