Hey Honkytonk

Listening to: Placebo - Slackerbitch

YES! I love work! I’ve worked three days now.. I have not been paid yet, but i’ve been pondering, what i should spend my money on… the more i think about it, the more i feel like not spending it. It’s HARD-EARNED money! it’s painful to just spend it on something useless and not worthwhile.. i’m thinking of contributing it to the Buy Hong Chan A Laptop Fund. otherwise, i’ll go and get myself a digital camera at the end of it all..

3 days… i get a day off tomorrow.. I’m really enjoying work.. but a waiter is not allowed to sit, and standing all day, from 11am to 5pm is quite a strain on the knees and feet.. oh well, the payrate is good (certainly better than chili’s in KL) and i get a free meal! and it’s certainly better than sitting at home all day, watching tv reruns and sleeping… this working, means i’m never idle, no time for thinking silly things and no time to do stupid things..

I’m working now, with a working schedule and all.. How am i gonna collect my results?! and go travelling with all the ktj people?! this is quite a quandary, i’ll figure it out sometime… hopefully before all the travelling actually takes place

Listening to: Sheila on 7 - Melompat Lebih Tinggi

I bet many of you reading this will be wondering, "what the hell is hong chan doing, listening to indon music that he cannot understand?" well, it’s because the song is actually quite catchy, and there is a guitar solo about 3/4 through the song which is actually quite nice, and the next time i hop into zarif’s car, along with enrico and justin, i can actually sing along, instead of being the only one being left out, quiet :P. After listening to it three times, i have figured out some bits. namely: melompat lebih tinggi, and untuk kau simpan. i have yet to figure out what i means, but i will one day, find out.

i’ve been sleeping very well recently for a change, no more bedtime at 2/3am like at ktj, nowadays it’s 12-1am. i’m impressed. i’ve been sleeping more soundly, but more weird dreams. two nights ago, in my dream, rollin called me to come to medan, because it was his birthday. i said "that can’t be, your birthday is in may!" and he said "just come lah", telling me his address among many other things. and so, i went to his place, and then, the whole house was totally abandoned, and there was NOBODY there at all. quite freaky indeed. and i was standing on this rug, made of either white tiger or zebra…

i’m getting disillusioned with this blog of mine. i was reading through some of the stuff, and i realised, that it’s hardly special. should i start specialising? i’ve seen some blogs, where all they talk about is sex, or drugs, or education, employment, or etc… mine is totally random, i talk about everything..

it’s hard to be humourous on text, because when people crack jokes, there are many other things involved, like hand actions, facial expressions, and other people’s laughter… it’s amazing what can be funny. It seems, that there are two groups of people our age. the type that laughs at everything, and the type that laughs at nothing. as always, we have outliers, anomalies, but generally, that’s how it looks. there are people who i’ve tried to crack up many times, but they never laugh… and there are people who i manage to effortlessly crack up, i just say something, and off they go, burstin into laughter… if i ever wanna become a good stand-up comedian, i’m gonna have to isolate what makes EVERYBODY laugh…

and by now, song has changed… it’s Artful Dodger - Twentyfour Seven feat Melanie Blatt..

Listening to: Amerie - One Thing

I was thinking back to the old days, when N*Sync were pretty big, my friends and I, used to call one of the guys, called Joey Fatone, we used to call him Joey Fat-one… see fat one.. now that was pretty funny stuff… strangely enough, that guy has the same birthday as my younger sister…

Sometimes I think i’m going crazy, especially when I’m alone and it’s quiet… I swear, i see things out of the corner of my eye and when I look, it’s gone. It’s like i’m seeing things that are not there… very freaky mind you, i kid you not. I hate this, sometimes it’s quite scary.. but seeing these things are nothing compared to the sounds that i hear.. I was in the toilet, and just sitting down, with my head down, thinking of stuff.. and i heard the door open. My first reaction was "what the hell, didn’t i lock it?" and when i looked up, it was still closed.. hmm i even heard the door creakin..

I was lying in bed last night, with some nice music on, and my door was slightly ajar.. and everybody else was asleep, this was really late, and i kept on thinking there was somebody in the dining room, which i can see a bit of.. which was impossible, and this freaked me out a bit..  so i just sorta covered my eyes and listened to the music.. and then i heard the rustling of leaves.. this is freaky stuff, because i live on the 16th floor, there are no trees up this high… and then i heard some funny breathing… and i fell asleep..

This is not a healthy way to live, hearing and seeing all this weird stuff, i wonder if anybody else experiences the same thing, please let me know if you do, just so i know, i’m not crazy, or if i am crazy, just so i know i’m not the only one

I watched Fantastic Four a few days back… and I thought… "hmm.. this movie turned out better than i expected" This thought may have been provoked by the fact that Jessica Alba is in it and there are some interesting scenes, and my mind was forced into thinking this movie was good… but it was actually, not that bad… Jessica Alba is hot. really hot. really really really hot…

This cartilage regrowth medicine… i can’t feel the effects… weird..

I’ve decided to put an end to the "got punani" remark, it’s male chauvinistic and it makes me sound like a pervert, which i’m not. repetitive things can be funny, but dirty repetitive things can offend, and may cause misunderstanding… so, i must learn to let go of this…. i’ll end each entry with a…. hmm, ideas anyone? my blog is oh so thought-provoking

Listening to: Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

yesterday, i received my first ever ever paycheck! the feeling when that envelope enters your hands… it’s magical, yes! for all you unemployed people, u dunno what you’re missing! a sense of real earning, like u deserve it!! hahaha!!

i was just listening to an old song just now, LL Cool J - Paradise feat Amerie… this song has got one of the cheesiest and funniest lines i’ve ever heard, u’ve gotta hear LL Cool J, slowly saying "Paradise is very nice" in between the chorus lines, it’s so damn funny!!!

The last three days has been quite interesting.. for many reasons that is. first paycheck, funny music, university discussions, and a few other reasons i won’t mention. but interesting doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good… bad stuff can be interesting..

argh, i’m aching all over, if only going to the gym felt really good, like a hot cup of coffee, i’d go to the gym at least three times a day, and no sugar or milk please, i like mine black.

Gym is very useful, few days back, i met Rina and Risa, the twins, whom i haven’t seen in years! it was quite a surprise, a pleasant one. and a surprise to them too, apparently, i’ve changed quite a lot, i’m guessing they meant i’ve lost quite a lot of weight. :P… I said hello, and it took em a while to figure out who i was, now that’s impressive, i haven’t had that sort of effect in…. uh well, i’ve never had that effect on anyone before, i guess i have really changed a lot..

Listening to: Bloc Party - Helicopter

I was thinking, what happened to some of those singers who were REALLY hot property for a while?? You wonder, you hear all sorts of things about some people who have retired and are not doing anything special, but some of these celebrities, without even saying goodbye, or making any signs of disappearing soon, suddenly go… they’re gone.. so ephemeral..

what happened to don philip? kavana? LFO? etc.?

sure they weren’t very promising to begin with, but nevertheless, interesting.. the pop industry is so fickle, if u don’t do something stupid or unless you are stunningly good-looking, you’ll never stay popular or famous..

Much credit to people like Britney Spears who has a terrible voice (some credit to her, she doesn’t go out of tune and can sing, it’s just the voice she was born with, which she can’t do anything about sadly), can’t dance and is guilty of making several fashion boo-boos (i can’t really say anything about this, coz my fashion sense on a scale of 1-10, is a 0.2)… She’s still famous, earns loads of money and is quite popular among the tweens..

I think many of us should make Mickey Mouse Club our goal, because they have a habit of making children into big big stars..

Yes, one day, when these stars grow too old, they’ll become huge, not so bright and turn into a red giant (this only applies to white celebs.. it’s true! their efforts to tan themselves do not always work, so they turn pink-red and as they get older, get fat, just like real stars!!(stars as in the things in space) hopefully if they’re shit celebs, they’ll explode or become dust particles..

"I’m what you might call
A brick in the wall
A tile on the floor
I am nothing more"

Two things that celebrities are never short of… must be money and punani. They sort of come hand in hand sometimes don’t they? No, they don’t have hands…

Got punani?

Listening to: Estrela - Saturnine

Nothing lasts forever, everything has got to end at some point, and this includes my habit of making the title of each blog entry a "let’s"… may it rest in peace.

My condolences to the relatives to all those that died due to the explosions in London and my sympathies to all those who were injured.. you guys have some shit luck.. I sincerely hope that the dead rest in peace and the injured promptly recover well.  I hope nobody I know is injured or killed even, that’d indeed be terrible. What’s with these fellers, killing people…

Well, it looks like i’m going to Canada, although i’m still not sure… it’ll take me 6 years, still a year longer than the UK.. but possibly cheaper, and with a bigger Korean population there, there is a larger market for me to conquer with my dentist chair!! muhwahaha…

I was watching the Kao Hsiung World Pool Championship… some dude, Mika Immonen was losing 2-8 at the last 16 stage, but managed to win it, now that’s a real comeback.. was amazing indeed.

I need some human contact. hopefully if i’ll go out for a while this saturday, i can meet up with some jb folks from old.. :S and if i’m lucky… punani??

Got Punani?

lol, anybody who has done A-levels knows what i’m talkin about when i read the title.. just a silly book.

And yes, finally, the mellowness and all the emotions are gone, i’m once again, certified emotion free. Call 0127012387 for details and visit our nearest store in JB to order. While stocks last.

Now, i’m one of the few left in JB. Nash is still up there in KL, Mark and Simon are in England.. only left with Amal and Sara. Oh yeah, and Fadzrul… but i don’t have his number..

This is a challenging time for me.. I have absolutely nothing to do, and nobody to hang out with. I’m trying to find a job, where i need not any knowledge of the malay or chinese language. I can speak a bit, but if i were to work as a waiter, i’d be pretty stumped if the next customer came to me and asked "what is in this thing, could there be anchovies? i’d like the mussels removed.." in malay or chinese… ah, the fear is creeping into me now.

Another reason it’s challenging is.. i went to the hospital yesterday, got some x-rays done. apparently, my ankle is VERY screwed up and my knees are TOTALLY abnormal. The orthopaedic surgeon suggested that i should never play sports seriously again, especially football and things that require me to jump.. that means no more basketball, football, and a WHOLE lof of other sports.. looks like i can only jog.. and even that, must be done carefully. This is extremely shit news, i love playing football… i love sports in general.. now i’m gonna have to do the most boring exercise possible.. = jogging. :S

At least, punani is allowed.. phew, though i’d be pretty embarrassed if the doctor told me i was allowed to chase punani in front of my parents. i’d have to tell them its a tropical fruit or something. So who is gonna donate a pair of kneecaps and an ankle? Add a punani in there too..

Got Punani???

Listening to: Manic Street Preachers - Everlasting

The hols have started, i should be feeling very glad, relieved and absolutely joyful. but i’m not… leaving KTJ was possibly one of the most sad points in my life, so many friendships had to come to an abrupt pause as i contemplated not seeing some of these people ever again. Josh and I left the hall early after speech day, they’d have the farewell, lots of talking, photo taking, i don’t think either of us could take that sort of emotional battering. so we skipped that and decided not to shed tears like most of the people still there.

However, leaving, it did not hit me until i was at KL Sentral, seeing Fahim off, now that… that REALLY needed restraint. Just seeing Leanne cry, was very very saddening, considering that she’s usually so upbeat. Fahim and I had been gettin a little closer recently, with him giving me advice and all, about applying to Canada and etc and this led to more mixin around, it was deeply saddening. One positive point, is that if i don’t get my AAB, and enter Uni of Liv, UK, i’ll go to Canada and i’ll see him! WOW! More of his jokes and more fun, remembering KTJ and of course, Canada is supposed to have the best weed.

The L6 are having their OBS course right now, i miss some of them.. especially the ones i got to know in NAQ.. hopefully they’re doing well without any problems, i still remember my obs times very fondly.. what memories i’ve had here. OBS, late night chatting, shisha, movies, even some memorable arguments, performing on stage, saturday events, sneaking into other houses… eh? wait a minute!!! I haven’t had punani in KTJ! Mayb i’ll visit next year and get some..

Got Punani?
