Zestful One

DPM’s visit

The deputy prime minister came to our uni to witness the MOU exchange between Felda and LKW so we had to sing “You Raise Me Up” for him. Was pretty boring. But we took lots of random pics :)

Happy Belated Bday to me (25 Sept)

23 Sept
It started on Friday – I had morning class but had to skip it for this choir practise. Then that afternoon I took a bus from Uni to serdang ktm station (it was RM3.15 – im not sure why it was 15 cents instead of a round number), then Serdang to KL Central, then KL Central to Bukit Bintang. All in all, it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to get from my uni to BB and cost 7 ringgit – yeah i actually counted the time coz i was bored. Hehe!

Went dating in Bkt Bintang. Its amazing how many things will catch your eye when you got no money in ur pocket – I only had RM20 in cash to last me till monday (26/9). After that met up with Erin at KL Central, and we took the lrt & taxi home for a quick shower before taking the car and rushing off to a friend’s (Nicky) 18th birthday party in BU.

Reached Nick’s place quite late. His other (younger & non-drinking) friends just left when we came. Only my uni mates – erin, nick, 2 more girls, 1 more guy – and nick’s best friend was left. Nick took out this game where there’s like 6 shot glasses around an arrow which spins. So on each glass there is a dare (to take off something) or to drink the shot. They filled it with vodka (yes pure Absolute Vodka) and that’s when the party started.

We had a great time but no one ended up naked coz everyone prefered to take the shot and for the non-drinkers, we gave them an yukky cocktail of coke, orange juice and a few other things. Most ended up puking (gross!!) after the game was over. I lost track of how many shots i downed, but i was taking coke between shots so I didnt really end up drunk. Then we started just talking, then the other gals went to sleep, nick’s friend went to sleep and left nick, myself and farhan talking till almost 5 am (i think) when farhan & i dozed off while the 3 girls just woke up. Was so tired that I actually snored loudly but got up at 6am, then went back home.

Felt a bit pissed off at my dad coz he suddenly marah-ed me for no reason by sms-ing me something in the morning just before i came back :( after we came back Erin and i stayed up talking till 8 sumthing am before sleep finally overtook us.

24th Sept
Woke up around 3pm, then went out with Farhan, nick & erin. At first we just lepaked at OU, walking around and talking. Thought of watching a movie but there was alot of ppl so we decided to go for dinner. The guys paid for my dinner coz of my birthday :D and the 3 of them actually sang Happy Bday really loud in Chillis OU :|

After that we went back to Nick’s place to help him clean up the house. Because he didnt have time to do it the day before and he was alone in the house. So we cleared all the empty pizza boxes, threw all the beer cans, looked for all the bottle caps on the floor, washed all the glasses, mopped the floor then swept it again coz it was still dusty and cleared all the mattresses and pillows.

Then geng Mosin called and I went to meet them there, Pam came soon after and Erin came as well. Got sms-es from isla, lola, heidi & my sis. Rang lola up and managed to chit chat a bit. I miss them alot :(

Anyway, we sat there laughing and talking till 6 am. Went back and went to sleep. Got up around 1 pm and read sms-es from a few friends, my youngest sis and my dad – who also apologized for what he said. There was a bouquet of red & pink roses on the dining table for me from my parents :D (and some money) which was really nice because they know I have never gotten flowers from anyone before.

I basically stayed at home the whole day, reading and finishing up my assignment due on Monday. But I went out for late dinner with just my family to celebrate my bday. We went to Mache (sp?) – pronounced mar-shay – at The Curve coz a few friends told me it was nice. The food is quite nice – especially the mushroom soup & mashed potatoes – but the desserts was kinda lousy. And its quite pricy.

Overall, I had a super great time this weekend :D will post some pics once i get them from my fren’s digicam

mamat Starbucks – part 2

The starbucks guy (refer last post) did ring me up eventually. I was on the bus on the way back on friday when i got a phone call from an unknown number.

Z : hello, is this fiona?
Me : yeah. who’s this?
Z : its me, Z.
Me : Z who?
Z : alar…Z from starbucks
Me : ooo..Z {i was thinking, damn! he actually called (@_@) }

Then he went on to ask where i was and what was i doing and what uni im in (even tho he’s asked it before) – probably wanted to make conversation. Then he asked “Do you have a bf?” and I was like “why?” and he said, “Just asking” then I said “Yes, i do hv one” and he went like “oh” in a kind of dissapointed tone.

Then he went on to talk about his ex, who was a lot like me, same size (-_-; ), very sweet and that its his off day on that day, etc, etc. and I just ok-ed whatever he said. Then finally he said “well i guess I’ll call u some other timela” and i was like “okay!”. Phew!

Mamat Starbucks

Im supposed to finish a draft on a MAJOR, 3000 word (emphasis added) due on Monday but I havent even started (-_-; ) I keep getting distracted and do other things like :

1. Write this post
2. Finally finish my new blog template (including all the links) nice o not?
3. Wrap a fren’s bday present – AFTER I finished reading it. I kno im terrible but it was too interesting to put down :P LOL!
4. Sleep from 9pm-1am (which is why i cant sleep now)
5. Made 2 cups of tea and finished it :|

Oh yeah, actually i wanted to write about this Starbucks waiter. hehe! Been wanting to write about it for some time but never got round to doing it. So here goes….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I frequently go to Starbucks Ikano to drink Iced Caffe Mocha and use the internet (it frustrates me no end to NOT have internet connection at home). I often go after classes in the evening to do assignments (and chat). As a result, Im always looking tired and very stressed whenever I go there.

A few weeks back, I wrote a post about one of the baristas (sp?) there – I’ll call him “Z”. Usually we have to wait for the drinks at the counter, but I have the privilage (or disadvantage?) of Z sending the drinks to my table. Some time after that, I asked him to give me free drinks, but he asked for my number in exchange. I didn’t give it to him so I just smiled and went “hehe!”

When I went there recently, I wasnt feeling well so I ordered a hot drink instead of my usual iced mocha. So when Z brought the drinks, he said “Here’s your drink dear” and I just said “oh, thanks” ignoring his last word. Then 10 minutes later (I havent even touch the cup), he came back and said “I stir for you ok?” and proceeded to stir my drinks.

Then after about half an hour he came back to my table:

Z : Are you interested in drama? There’s going to be this audition for this play and im supposed to look for people…..etc etc {cant really remember his exact words}

Me : Im not free la, I’ve got a lot of assignments to do. I dont have the time for this other activities.

Z : Its not that difficult, just memorize the script and go for a few practices. U just give your number and they’ll call if you’re selected…etc etc

Me : Nolah, my parents would kill me if they knew i was too involved in so many things. (pause) Alar..kalo nak number I, tanya direct je la {if you want my number, just ask directly}

Then he left and came back with a piece of paper and I was like “huh?” and he said “can i hv ur number? U said i could have it” then I just scribbled my number. And while i was writing it down, he asked “why not we go jalan jalan one day?” and I was like “err…nola, im not free” so he said “alar, u must have a bf already.” And I just smiled and said “hehe”

And all this while i was chatting with Pam online till she had to leave and we continued SMSing each other. I was telling her “I hope he’s not seriously going to call” and she answered “of course he’ll call. he stirred ur drinks didnt he?” and she was laughing at how I got my own personal stirrer.

Sekinchan and max were also laughing about it after i told them the “dear” part. Sure kena tease about him kaw-kaw after this :|

p/s: maybe I should ask for free drinks on Monday for my belated birthday prezzie :P

To be continued…..

Different people or one & the same?

A few friends and I were commenting over teh o ais and nasi lemak about people putting on different masks around different people. It was agreed that everyone shows a different side of themselves, its just human nature.

For me, I usually have a line – actually, many lines – between different groups of friends, family and love. Different strokes for different folks (as they say)

First is the “KK group” who consists of people who watch me grow up in my secondary school days, when I was innocent and naïve and a true goody two shoes. Never go clubbing, never dating, teacher’s pet, president of this club, vice president of that club, the usual lah. I must admit that my teenage life (until 17 yrs old) was really really straight cut but I had my share of good-clean fun :P I consider these people great friends who are part of my past – we keep in touch, but its different from physically hanging out often.

Next would be the Miri/Curtin group, who watched – and helped and encouraged – me dabble into things of the world : drinking, staying up late, clubbing, playing pool ect ect. Those were the 2 best years of my life – lots of memories and laughter and fun was poured into our friendships then. Lost touch with a lot of them already, unfortunately

Then I have my Blogger friends who are nice and kind of good :P (Of course I have no idea what they do behind my back) but these are the people that I would never dream of inviting to clubs or drinking. Hehe!

Then there’s the chat people, lkw students and other people who I honestly don’t know much about. These are the hi-bye acquaintances. As in, I kno them, but we don’t really hang out often.

Then of coutse there’s the close friends in KL – most from east msia, others from around here (like the Mosin club members. LOL!). These are the friends that I regularly hang out with, people that are just a phone call away to a all-nighter of laughter and drinks (alcoholic or otherwise).

I don’t like mixing any of my groups of friends (I tried it before in 2002 with rather disastrous results). For example, my KK friends would probably faint meeting my KL friends. And I cant really imagine my Blogger pals in Planet Hollywood on a Saturday night. Come to think of it, its rather amusing how different and diversified my groups of friends are. Handling many types of people isn’t an easy task, but it opens up my eyes to the diff ways ppl react to certain things.

I admit that Im probably slightly different with each of them. The real me is the same, but there are certain elements that are adapted to suit the situation and crowd. Then again, it happens with everyone else. We are all unique in our own way and that makes life so colourful (in a good and bad way). You’d never know what your friends are doing when they aren’t around you. For all you know, I could be someone who can give fantastic blow jobs or I might be someone who’s bisexual or I could be someone who is a published writer in the US or someone who has played football or someone who has attempted suicide multiple times or someone who enjoys phone sex. We never know what is happening behind closed doors – particularly after the lights go out. Hehehe….

P/s: some of the statements in italics are true and others a false. You decide :P ]
