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 :)

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

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!

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…..

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 ]

All guys are gay??
I had this conversation with a classmate of mine whom i havent met for quite some time. He said “all guys are gay. But no one would ever admit it”. This is his reasoning:
Guys watch porn right? What kind of porn do they usually watch? Male-female porn. (some guys also watch lesbian porn tho). If the actor is not well-endowned, would they watch it? Would they choose one that shows a “short and small” one or a “thick and long” one? Obviously the latter. So, all guys are attracted to watching well-endowned men. Meaning they have a small sense of gay-ness.
We were laughing our heads off at his reasoning. I’ve never heard it from that point of view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last weekend
Last weekend i was pretty busy. Friday night I went for dinner with Pam & Andre, sorta like a gals nite out. We went to the food court at hartamas – the spaghetti there is superb, so rich and cheesy alfredo sauce. Then we sat and chit chat, shared stories about what we missed, shared ghost stories (citer wajib) and cracked jokes. Poor andre was hving flu and she somhow managed to sprain her thumb badly that she has to wear something like a small sling over her thumb.
After that we lepaked at Mosin TTDI (our new hangout place) and met up with the 2 stooges and macna. Then Pam & Andre left early, then pokiah sent macna back then farm + fren dtg. Talk talk for some time, den farm +fren balik. so i finally got back at 6.30 am, took a shower and finished my assignment. Went to sleep at 8 am, Sat morning.
Woke up at 1.30pm, had lunch, watch tv, heard my sis & my mom quarreling (yet again!) did my assignment, went to sleep at 5.30pm. Got up at 8 sumtin coz pam colling colling (she went to anugerah ERA & we’re supposed to go out after that. Encik amat called at around 10 something, want to ajak lepak but i was going out at 11.30 so we planned to meet up after that. Went to PH with pam, met Man. But that nite mcm kurang mood want to drink or dance so Pam & I juz sat at the bar talking. After det met the 2 stooges at Lotus around 3 sumthing – they sibuk cuci mata, we sibuk makan coz didnt eat dinner. Man was so drunk owedi so he juz sat quietly while the rest of us chit chatted. We went all back early, then slept – too tired already even tho i’ve been sleeping on and off the whole day.
Next day had nasi ayam for lunch then went to maju junction in the evening. Had some bun for tea, den char kuey tiau for dinner. Den went to lotus at jln TAR but i didnt eat. Den took the Star lrt to masjid jamek and putra lrt to Kelana Jaya. but the LRT stopped at Tmn bahagia and refused to move, so i took a taxi from thr to Mosin (RM5) den makan Mumtaz naan….soo sedap. the 3 of us bantai 2 keping. Laughed until perut sakit giler den went back around 1.30 am (very early by our usual standards).
In short, Sat was for sleeping and Sunday was for eating. LOL! Next weekend i dont think im going clubbing la. Kenot tahan, its been 3 weekends in a row. Its not that i spend money – cover charge is free, and drinks is sponsered – but i malas. So plans next Sat is to mabuk teh o ais at mosin until the next day la – if all goes well. Hehehe!

This year, as 25th September rolls by, I have no expectation, no plans for big-makan-makan-at-my-hse (like back in Miri), no food-and-water-balloon-fights-in-the-hall (like back in 2003), no being-thrown-into-the-dirty-stagnant-lake (which was our tradition back in Curtin Uni), no being-pelted-with-flour-eggs (which i used to do back in school), no picnics-and-bbq-at-the-beach (like i did in KK) and no long wishlists {like what erin did – babe im happy to be able to fulfill at least one item :D}.
I want this year to pass by quietly, in the comfort of close friends and family. Next year we will go all out. I promise :D because next year is most significant. 21 maaa… :P
I do however have a short wish list :
1. SURPRISE ME
2. Anything from this list
3. That see-thru-plastic-calendar-with-pockets thingy at roominteriorproducts
4. Cash la….(easiest prezzie)

Someone said I analyze too much. That I think too far ahead.
Others say I should anticipate so I would know how to react.
Someone said I should go with the flow, take things as they come.
Others say i never use my head, never think before I act/talk.
Someone said I have a tendency of seeing the best in people, that I trust people too easily.
Others say that I believe in no one but myself.
Someone else said I will always come up with worst-case scenarios.
Others believe I am very optimistic.
I am all of the above and more. A contradiction of sorts, never fitting into one mould. Forever changing, never the same. I am sometimes troubled by the little things but am calm and rational facing big things.
Whenever I do something, I’ll always wonder “what if..”, “is this right?”, “should i hv..”, etc. Its not that i have lack of confidence. Its just that sometimes Im unsure. I made mistakes in the past (who hasnt?) stupid, idiotic mistakes that cost me, amongst other things, my trust in ppl, my beliefs, my dignity, and much more. Even now when I have gotten over it, the memory is forever seared in my mind – about how the ppl that I trust most are the ppl that I must be most cautious of. Sounds selfish but “once bitten twice shy”.
My greatest fear used to be rejection. But now i realize that my greatest fear is to be used. To be taken in, cared for, then thrown away like trash. Like something insignificant. With no regards to my feelings. To be cheated and stabbed in the back. I know that my insecurities stem from this fear.
Not long ago I asked someone for an honest opinion of me. One of the things he said was “U somehow pening tengok reactions orang lain .. apsal laa this world is somehow weird ..apsal laa orang cannot be this and that.” But its true, i am puzzled by human behaviour (even my own most of the time). But of course I cant change other ppl.
I can however change how I look at it. I believe that however bad the situation is, even tho you cant make it better, but u can change your outlook on it. Maybe that’s why I always look cheerful, coz i realize that even when you dont feel like smiling, but you force yourself to look on the bright side to be happy and smile, after some time, you actually believe that things will work out right.
It takes someone who really knows me inside and out (which are only a small handful of people) to know whether I have problems without me telling. Three years ago, an old friend commented about me “when bad mood…..sure can tell….just look at the face…if got frown a bit already know something wrong..even she smile when she’s sad, still can tell.”
I want people to remember me as someone who has brighten up their day at least once in the period of me knowing them. I know i have my faults – im lazy, have bad time management, forgetful (to name a few) – but I would like accomplish something meaningful in my life, something that doesnt have to impact the whole world, but to impact individual lives.
To end this babble of my incoherent mind at the wee hours of the morning, I would like to quote Martin Luther King Jr:
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper,
Sweep streets like Michaelangelo painted pictures,
Like Shakespeare wrote poetry,
Like Beethoven composed music;
Sweep streets so well that the
host of Heaven and Earth will have to pause and say
Here lived a great sweeper,
Who swept his job well

First : An apology to the person who’s secret i terbocor kat blog. I mana
tau takleh britau benda mcm tu. sorry laa :( Post tu dah de-deletekan oleh wakil
badan penapiskan blog (blog censorship) kat penang
Upside & Downside of a girls nite out (3-4th Sept)
Anyway last weekeed i lepaked at stabaks, ikano with the 2 stooges at around 10
pm. Then around 11 sumthing they sent me back, i changed, then I went
meronggeng-ing to Planet Hollywood with Pam and Cass . The music was good and we
met a few interesting people. Took a shot of chivas+ice, and bout 4-5 glasses
dewars+coke (I lost count..hehe) courtesy of our new friends. Danced, sweated,
took photos and exchange phone numbers before leaving.
Pastu lepak kat Devi’s in Bangsar pastu got this group of malay guys sat at the
next table and were looking looking at us. Then one of them, the most decent
looking one, came over and had the audacity to invite himself to sit at our
table:
Weird but Friendly Guy (WBFG): hi can I sit? (then he terus dgn tidak malunya sat down)
WBFG : So where are u gals from? KL? (we all juz gave half-hearted nods) Went out?
Pam : From my house
WBFG : So where u gals staying?
Pam muttered Shah Alam, and Cass muttered Cyberjaya. I still kept ignoring him
WBFG : You girls are nice, at least u all layan my questions, not like some other girls who would juz ignore strangers (I guess he doesnt realize we were trying to ignore him too). Im not
trying to ayat u girls {yeah right!} just being friendly {sure *rolls eyes*}
Then org yg tgh boring melepak kat mont kiara itu call, so i ajak-ed him to join us. After i put down the phone,
Me (to Pam): My friend is coming
WBFG : Your friend? guy or gal?
Me : Guy
WBFG : Boyfriend?
Me : Haha! No lah!
WBFG : Yeah right. Anyway I better get going soon. Nice meeting you girls. If u want to do some facial or beauty stuff, my mom has a beauty salon at Hartamas {wtf is he promoting his mom’s beauty salon for?}. Here is my number, save it in ur phone…01…(at this point, 3 of us looked at each other then Pam and I looked at Cass and she had no choice but to save his number. LOL! Kasian plak she kena buli by us)
Takut pula him. LOL! Poke, ada org takut kat ko lah :P Not long after that, 2 mamat arab sat at the next table and tried to catch out attention.
Arab guys (AG) : Excuse me? Hello?
(I was ignoring him but Pam suddenly turned to face them coz she thought they wanted to ask/tell something important)
Pam : Yea?
AG : So where did u guys party today? Somewhere in bangsar?
Pam : Party? *buat muka blur* We were from my house.
AG : And what were u doing at your house?
Pam : Oh……studying
(At this point I tried to hold my laughter but kenot tahan so it came out like a false cough)
AG : Come on….you’ve got to be kidding
hank goodness at that time poke called and asked where are we, then I saw him just outside and we cepat-cepat moved table to sit outside. He was like confused at bit at our kelam-kabutness but after we were sitting, we told the whole story to him and he was laughing. Then he noticed, “How come everyone is staring at us ah?” to which I answered, “Because we are the only girls here.” Then he looked around and realized that it was true. I think the other guys were
looking daggers at the poke & his fren. LOL!
Then we talk talk then Pam & Cass went back around 4-5 am…not sure la..i wasnt really paying attention to the time. Then Max joined us and we lepaked there till 9 am after someone tertido a few times and someone else punya eyes already rolled up coz nak tido :P So far I just tahan but the moment i got back and my head touched the pillow, I slept till evening around 5-6 pm.
Upside : Got free drinks and met interesting people
Downside : Got harrassed twice at a mamak stall…I would expect it in a club…but at a mamak stall…adehh…
