And she's certainly not an Orang Ulu. Ads always lie! Deng deng. Heck, if I have Orang Ulu inheritance, I'll get JPA in my sleep! *coughcoughracistcough* And you know why Daniel got it to India? Psst, he's Dayak. Oh yes he is.
P/s: This is purely for entertainment purposes. I'm happy with Petronas. VERY happy, actually. And I'm sure that JPA people choose only the bestest among the best, with of course a high degree of transparency. Absolutely no double standard. *gag*
Cook won Cook won neh neh neh neh neh! Cook won Cook won *dance in circle* it's amazing ZOMG! Thank the heavens Americans are smart enough not to let Archuleta win this. And in case you reaaaally live under a rock, Cook won by freakking 12 million votes! This is so drama material! And I'm using so many exclamation marks! Haha. !!! Oh my Cook you have been wronged! Those foolish people still thought Archie deserved to win. But noooooo, nooooooo you won! You are the winner! Victory is yours!
Too bad for Archie though. He must feel like a total loser right now. I'm so sorry for him.
Actually, not really. HAHA! IN YOUR FACE!
*clears throat*
Getting back to the point, I'm such a spendthrift! The other day, I was supposed to meet Sherene at Boulevard for lunch. And so, after having spent a full 30 minutes trying to park my car, I was going up happily from the basement.
Just a picture I thought of posting. We went to Bing! the other time and watched Prince Caspian after that. Introducing myself, Norman, Sherene, Edwin and Andy.
Suddenly, my left foot was feeling more comfortable than the other side. It's like one side of the sneaker had this smooth, delicate texture, while the other side felt really hard.
So, I gulped, and slowly looked down, my eyes squinting. To my horror, one side of my foot was wearing a brand new Adidas that I bought in Penang, while the other side was GASPETH no other than my faithful Sandak!
And since that umm... trend of fashion was rather outlandish, I rushed to the men's department and bought a new pair of sneakers in less than 5 minutes. It's absolutely mandatory to reveal the price in order to show what a spendthrift I am, but since my dad reads my blog and if he finds out how much I spent he will kill me and you can never see me blogging in my blog EVER AGAIN, it's better to keep it a secret.
But the pair of sneakers were totally justifiable! I mean, I felt comfortable throughout the day, and err... it's not like I'm not gonna wear them ever again, right?
Sigh, I got to learn how to spend wisely! I'm unemployed. No money is coming in! And so, my impromptu resolution is:
Eddie cannot spend more than MYR10 a week. However, if Eddie is able to suppress his foodlust and not use that MYR10 this week, the amount can be brought forward to the following week!
See, I'm putting effort to become a better person!
So anyway, after lunch, we went to Popwave II, which was just across the road. We sang for four hours straight, and I couldn't find myself talking at the end of the day. And here's the best duet in the history of Popwave II, according to the tauke there:
I just finished watching the second latest episode of Ugly Betty. Why second latest, you might ask. Because I just realized there is an Episode 17.
Anyway, it's really unfair to call Betty ugly. It's an understatement. *coughs* I mean, she has so many good qualities in her. She's smart, she's hardworking and overflowing with new ideas, and kind and helpful and loving... *prattles on* But yeah, at first, nobody could see them good qualities, that's for sure.
*shrugs* I was forever scarred by the image of Betty and her ginormous blue-colored braces. But somewhere between the ending of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2, I found myself thinking: how come Betty looks SCREAMS kinda pretty?! It's like, sigh, when you like someone, no matter how ugly she is, she'll grow into you eventually and become pretty!
Even if she wears a red Guadalajara! poncho.
Porke? Omg ironic! HAHA
So girls (or boys) out there who think yourselves are fugly, don't give up hope! I mean, who cares if you're super fat, or your face is brimming over with pimples. As long as you have a heart of gold (aiseh), people will like you all the same!
You know, forget about it. I would personally suggest plastic and liposuction.
Omg joke! Anyway, ugly people, just to remind you that you're not the ugliest person on earth:
Malaysians in general have very bad habits. Uncountable. We cannot do anything much about it really. It's already too blended into our culture.
One very VERY annoying example is that Malaysians never knock. NEVER. Even at home, parents will blatantly open the son's bedroom door, give him a cardiac arrest, and continue yakking about something from the papers/net. It can be so annoying.
There will be awkward moments, when the son's doing something very private - I will not say what - in his room and being bumped into by his parents.
And even when the son is NOT doing 'something very private,' but it just coincidentally appears to be so, it's even more awkward because he'll try to explain, while his parents pretend to be all understanding and stuff.
(trying to give a clean, third person POV here so pardon me)
Therefore, people, I have come to the last resort:
We should all do that. It does wonders I tell you.
Zomg my PC is dead for like A WEEK! I have so many things to blog about, but with my sister's lappy I cannot do much. It's slow/inefficient/time consuming and its backspace is not working! I mean, how am I going to type properly without a backspace?!
Option 1: type > error > left arrow > delete > repeat a few more times > die Option 2: shut down PC > sleep
Option 2 wins hands down.
So with my PC back and healthy, I'm happy to announce that I'm offered the Petronas Scholarship.
Tadah! My offer letter, arrived via Abx Express.
So, uncle, auntie, pek pek, mmm mmm, ah gong, ah mah, cousins, friends and enemies, for your information, I'll be spending five years at the Institute of Technology Petronas (Universiti Teknologi Petronas) in Tronoh, Perak, doing Chemical Engineering. Please don't forget my existence, because I will be very sad. I love you all, and thank you so much for all your support.
*takes out Thank You list*
First of all, I want to thank God for letting this all happen. Although I still don't entirely believe in His existence, I know everything happens for a reason, and there's some dude up there writing all the plans and putting all the pieces together. I also know that without the setback in SPM, I might never learn humility and accept the greatness of God; heck, I might not even earn a single scholarship. Therefore I prayed, and many prayed for me, and God answered. Praise the Lord! oh emm gee did I just dedicated the whole paragraph to that dude?
Heaps of thank yous and hugs to my folks and evil-as-usual sister, who compromised with my hot temper and erraticism, and made do with my regular indifference and emo-ness. Mom and dad have always been supportive, and Elaine, well her sarcasm constructive criticism does help sometimes. Hehe.
Many many years ago, when lace and pantyhose are high fashion...
Hugs Rachelle and May for listening to all my rants and whines and being the outlet to my *GG* deep, dark secrets. Sigh, words cannot do them both justice I tell you. Thanks Mother K and family, Lam and Zhen for being there all the time. And all my wacko fwens who laughed heartily at my results. You guys are so sweet. *smirks*
Dinner! Fired a hole in my wallet and Andy's. Anything for yat ban pang yao. *secretly cried a few nights*
So that's it. I'm leaving in July together with Andy. Mixed feelings right now really. Haha.
Random stuff:
Carmen turned 1 last week. Omg she's soooo cute! It would be such a perfect picture if it wasn't for some crazy confused person thingy who thought she was unquestionably cuter than the baby.
And...
These donuts suck. Didn't get the chance to say this earlier but those filthy ring-shaped cakes are tasteless! Seriously, they are! Don't buy.
Altogether, I'm happy to be selected by Petronas. Almost all my roomies during the camp got it. So here I come baby!
P/s: All the best to Edwin who is still waiting. xD
Goes to show that I literally die without my computer. *seizure*
So yesterday, when I was happily watching 康熙来了 with my sister in her room, the power went off. I mean, a blackout lah. My dad wanted us to off all the electrical appliances, and he proceeded to switch the power supply back on again.
I went back to my room, and wanted to plug in my PC. The moment I plugged it in, *gaspeth!* the power went off again!
And the process repeated:
1. Dad wanted everybody to off all the electrical appliances. 2. Dad proceeded to switch on the power supply. 3. I went into my room and plugged in my PC. 4. The power went off. 5. Repeat 1 - 4.
This went on for a couple of times, until my dad and I decided there was no hope. Time of death: 5.43 pm.
Knowing that my PC was dead, I ate my dinner half-heartedly, fed the stupid dogs, and went to sleep at 6.30 pm. Because I had nothing to do.
I woke up dramatically at 11.30 pm, replied some text messages, and went back to sleep. Finally, I really really woke up at 9 am this morning. Total sleeping time = 14.5 hours. Omg I'm a pig.
Anyways, I sent my PC to the repair shop, and that stupid geek dude person thingy told me that it would only be fixed by tomorrow. THE HORROR! So, still having nothing to do, I've decided to go back to sleep. Ta.
P/s: Just an update to show that I'm not entirely dead. Yet.
Yellow. Omg haven't been bitten by blogbug for ages. And since my return from Penang, I've been trying very hard to pay back the 100 hours of sleep debt. But fret not, for the Eddie shall blog once again to save the world!
Ten things I HAD to say about my trip in Penang:
10. I want to thank Aunt Joyce, Joann, Sze Khiun, Mee Ling, my evil beautiful and intelligent sister Elaine, and Clement! for tending to my *coughs* loquacity/demanding-ness/heavy appetite without many complaints. Your hospitality is greatly appreciated. If it were not for you all I'd be long dead. Or maybe sleeping under a bridge and eating raw mice. Big hug.
With Clement, my sis Elaine, and cuzzie Joann.
9. I've gained 2 pounds. TWO POUNDS! Omg but it was all worthy. The food was marvellous. Beyond description. Nasi Kandar Pelita!! *faints* Can you imagine, the nasi lemak in Subaidah will only start selling at 1 o'clock in the morning?! And still it will be people mountain people sea. Penang people never sleeps. So, during my stay, I tried:
1. Penang Mee Jawa (weird, I mean, it's like saying Indian Sushi) 2. Pelita's Nasi Kandar 3. Aki Pancake (I think I ordered a Butter Turkey Ham Cheese) 4. Penang seafood (whatever. I ate like everything but the seafood) 5. Oyster omelet! Oysters as big as... something big and round. 6. Pastasia. I know it's not Penang specialty but *shrugs*. The baked rice with cheese thingy rawks. 7. Cititel's Kirishima Jap Restaurant. *drools* 8. Häagen-Dazs ice-cream. (it almost killed me with the sugar rush) 9. Nando's (wahahaha running out of authentic Penang food to cite) 10. And finally, Penang's wonderful, presentable+affordable+delicious dim sum!
Yum. I don't remember what I was eating, but it definitely tasted good.
Everybody.
8. I despise bossy, guilty-but-act-innocent, stupid, fat Indians. *gunned down by activists* Whatever. This Indian guy hor I tell you, was IS the MOST preposterous, god-awful, nbelievable with a capital U person I have ever seen! Clement didn't have a car in Penang, so he had to rent one. Then when we were on our way to breakfast, the car was knocked and dented by this stupid, steel machine thing. And out of that 1953 car-machine came the fat Indian, who rambled about how WE did not follow the law and kept braking. Hellooou? If we brake, YOU BRAKE LA IDIOT! At last, the fat ass paid us 70 bucks and left. Best part was, the owner of the car didn't even notice the dent! Omg he must be blind bwahahaha. Hope that Indian dies all the same.
As you can see, I was the one forking the sotong, and my sister the prawns. Or were they fish? Hmmm...
7. I discovered my true identity! I'm actually an *cue horror music* IMPULSIVE SHOPAHOLIC. I bought all the unnecessary stuff possible! To further prove my point:
I bought a freaakking watch! A WATCH! *faints*
6. Penang is like a gigantic microwave. It's hot, and it's baking hot. Maybe it's due to the fact that Penang is an island (okay you can totally 'duh' me). I bathed 4 times a day during my stay there. That's like a 4 : 1 ratio compared to the times when I am in Kuching. (*shocking realisation!!* Eddie only bathes once a day back home?!) Just kidding lah. I'm a very hygienic person. Really!
5. Penang people, or rather Penangites (I don't like the sound of it. If it's pronounced with four syllabus, it reminds me of meningitis), simply dress to impress. You cincai catch one person from the street, he/she must look good one! I mean, the things they wear can make a walrus look sexy. Made me so self-conscious. It's so good to be back in Kuching. Everybody dresses kns. Kaka.
Can we just skip 3 and 4? Good.
2. I went to this Music Cafe for a drink with my sister's friends. And then I went up stage to play and sing bruaahahaha. I have to say, it was exhilarating. Damn there might even be a scout there! Have to on my phone 24/7 in case any company want to sign me up for a record or something. They are so making the right choice man.
There. We were umm... flashing our cards!
Can't possibly post the video up because I have no idea how to resize that 60MB thing. So click below, and here's a picture. You guys just imagine the dashing, talented Eddie sing lah.
Bwahaha. It was a flawful performance. :P
Just don't mind the conversation between the lead vocals woman person with Sze Khiun at the beginning. Hehe.
The lead vocals woman person giving me a little souvenir.
And the final and most important thing I wanna say about Penang?
1. *cue McD's theme song melody* Ba ba ba ba ba... Black sheep.
