Yesterday was the first time in my life that I went to a club. Technically, I wasn’t clubbing because all I did was just sat there and drink while I watched the others dance. It all began when I was waiting for Candy to arrive around 9 something which he said. I started to get ready around 8pm and it was just enough time because when I just finished putting some final touched with my make-up then he messaged me that he was outside my house. He wanted to assure to my mom that I am in safe hands. The conversation went like this,
“Don’t worry, Aunty, I will assure you that your daughter will be in good hands,” he said.
“Are you sure? What time are you planning to send her back?” my mom asked.
“Err, around 2-3am,” he replied.
“She has work tomorrow,” my mom said. “Ting, what time do you have to go to work tomorrow?”
“Around 12pm,” I replied.
“Make sure that she doesn’t drink because she is still underage,” my mom said.
“Yes, aunty,” he said.
After that we left the house, we went to pick Eugene at his place. We arrived earlier and we had to wait for a while because Eugene was getting ready. It took a while until Eugene beckons us to come into his house which totally freaked me out. I saw his dad, mom and sister and Candy was telling Eugene’s dad that I am Su Yee’s sister. My sister and Eugene knew each other since primary school.
After that we head off to Masion which was at located in town. It has been a while since I been to town and I saw it was pretty nice at night cause there weren’t much cars around and it was pretty peaceful. We arrived at the place earlier then usual so we went to mamak to drink. So we sat there for a while talking and joking then we head off to Masion. Reaching there, I saw a huge crowd of people lingering outside the club and I spotted Ken Nie, Chiong Kor, Mohan and Joel. We went there to say hi and such and I spotted Nicklaus in the midst. Nick came with Lisa, Shaun and Julian, his bunch of friends.
After greeting them, then it was time to head into the club. The bouncer requested for our identification card so ensure that we weren’t underage and thank god that I am 19 now. After that the bouncer chopped our arms with it stated “Happening Club”. I was with Candy because I am under his care. Candy showed me around the club and telling me where the toilets are and also showing me the dance floor of the podium and such. I just sat there drinking Chivas mixed with Coke. I haven’t tasted Chivas before so I was pretty much happy that I am drinking some expensive drink.
But after drinking that drink, my face turned really hot and it was BRIGHT red. Thankfully that it was dark in the club so they couldn’t really see much of my face colour, though I could feel that my face is burning really hot and I kept fanning myself so I could cool down. Eugene and Candy kept pestering me to dance but I kept declining their offer because I can’t dance to save my life. So instead I took the opportunity to bully Chiong Kor. The first time I met him was somewhere in Damansara Jaya when he was with the rest of the boys playing Dota. He was hiding in the car, hugging the pillow and refuses to come out and it gave me a huge impression that he was a quiet and shy kid. Who knew that when I saw him that night at the club, that particular impression was totally gone from my mind? He was talkative and funny. He wasn’t the same person that I met that night. I kept pestering him saying “Are you the same person I met who hides in the car hugging the pillow?” It made him speechless and didn’t want to answer my question. It was so amusing.
At first things were starting off slowly, pretty dead but went it touches the peak around 12pm almost to 1am, things started to pick up. People were dancing, people were screaming, laughing, technically, letting loose. I was just observing my surroundings because after all, it was my first time being in the club. I just sat there chilling while I watched the others dancing, drinking. Most of the time, I was drinking a non-alcoholic drink which was Coke. Only at certain times I drank Chivas mixed with Coke which was mixed either by Eugene or Candy. I think I only drank around 2 glasses of those. I wasn’t drunk but my face was really red from what I can feel from the heat.
People were going wild around our table and also the people at our table were going wild themselves too. It was really a thing to see. Most of the time they went down to the dance floor to let loose or for the guys, more like….picking up the hot chicks. As usual, I just sat at the table drinking my Coke and observing the crowd. I was really taken care of though. By Candy and Eugene, I felt like a little princess. Even though I didn’t dance, I just sat down at the table talking to Chiong Kor and teasing him in a way by asking him to and dance with some chicks. But his reply to me was really amusing. He kept saying, “I don’t want to dance with them! I want to dance with you only! Come la! If you dance I dance!” I was like thinking, “Is he drunk?”
After the hype, things start to mellow down because the club was going to close. People were finishing the bottle of Chivas which they ordered and dancing a few more rounds before the DJ stop spinning the music. After that, the lights turned out and the music stops and everyone have to leave. Candy made sure that I was with him most of the time. He guided me out and we headed to the mamak place where we sat earlier to drink. I was pretty worn out even though I didn’t dance but sat most of the time because in the club, it was stuffy and smoky. Everyone was smoking and my hair now stinks of cigarette smoke. It is like a combination of all the cigarettes that is sold here in Malaysia. After sitting down in mamak, we headed off saying our good byes to Chiong Kor and Ken Nie because they came with Mohan.
I bid my good byes to Nicklaus and Julian and Nick’s friend, May if I could recall her name. I sat in the car stoning because my eyes were painful because I was wearing contact lenses and it was really dry due to all the smoke in the club.
Candy sends Eugene home and then only he sends me home. Candy actually walked me up to my house because I was acting a little wacky by acting, drunk. Then I hugged him good bye and said thanks for taking care of me. When I reached home, I took off my make-up, earrings, and changed into my pajamas and plopped myself to bed. Then I received a text message from Candy saying that he just puked at the drain near my house and I got worried if he is able to go back home now. He said that he is fine and he just puked because he drank too much Coke. This was the first time I am hearing that someone pukes because of drinking too much Coke. Nevertheless, he text messaged me later saying that he arrived home and taken some medicine and was going to bed.
The next day which was today, I woke up with a strained neck which I think it was caused because I was sleeping the wrong way and I gotten myself with a slight fever. I told Candy that I won’t be able to join him for dinner because I gotten myself sick and I have already taken a leave off from work. But I must say that going to a club for the first time was really much an enjoyable experience though I didn’t see any of them drunk and going wild. Maybe if they are going clubbing again and decide to invite me again, I may join them or maybe not…it depends.

Chapter: The Turnaround
These pass few days was seriously what I call a big turnaround for me. The first few moments, it was pretty blissful I must admit where things were looking up for me. Then I guess I was soaking up my good fortune and was enjoying myself from time to time and was thinking “hey, everything will definitely go well. Nothing can happen.” But I was wrong. In just a day, I was crushed into pieces and I broke down and cry. Maybe it is because that I haven’t been facing a lot of stress at one shot lately. Most of my time I am pretty much, I must admit, stress-free.
So when suddenly at one major shot it came hitting me, smacking it in front of my face, I couldn’t cope with it. For the first time in my life, I was lonely. For the first time in my life, I actually wanted a boyfriend. For the first time in my life, I couldn’t calm myself down. I managed to stop crying from time to time but then later my eyes started to tear up and I would just cry. I didn’t want to bother my friends because they were busy with their own things. They too have their own problems to worry, why should I add on their burdens with mine?
I talked to Joey about some problems I was facing then we chat for a while bitching for a bit before she went off to bed. I talked with Riko online and I was sharing webcam with him and he too saw my crying that time and I got pretty emotional at one point and got really emotional with him. I wonder whether he is afraid to come online and talk to me now after the outburst I gave yesterday. I really am embarrassed for causing him to be in a situation when I was having my “rampage” yesterday. Poor guy, and he did nothing to begin with and he came on because I send him a text message all the way to Slovakia asking him whether he could come on MSN.
The next day I fell sick. I just was feeling off colour where I had a slight sore throat and I was coughing here and there. I didn’t have the appetite to eat but I have no choice but to eat due to the fact that my maid went through the trouble of cooking for me. Anyway, then Candy called me because he was bored of course and got nothing else better to do. Not really, because he text messaged me before hand and I told him that I wasn’t feeling well. The next thing I know he called me asking me whether I am feeling fine or do I have to see the doctor. I told him that just need a good rest because I couldn’t sleep the day before.
But after the call, I couldn’t go back to sleep and I don’t know the reason why. Then I just lazed around the house for the time being walking here and there. After lingering around my house technically doing nothing, I went online to play a few rounds of game. Then I got my external hard drive back from Naveen which it made me felt guilty because I had to make him come all the way from god knows where just to pass it back to me. After receiving my hard drive from him, suddenly Candy called.
“Are you going anywhere later?” Candy asked.
“Huh? In a way, going to pass documents to my boss. Why?” I asked.
“Oh, cause I am around your area already. I want to pass you something,” he said.
“Huh? Okay, what is it that you want to pass to me?” I asked.
“Something, I am reaching already. I will go up to your house and pass it to you,” he said.
“Erm, okay,” I replied.
So I waited for Candy to arrive and when he did, I went out to take the thing that he wanted to give me. Apparently he went to eat somewhere I don’t know where and he usually gets his honey and lemon drink whenever he has a sore throat and he bought it just for me to drink it to make my sore throat better. This was the first time someone actually came over from god knows where just to give me something for my illness. I thanked him for the drink and I went back up again because Candy had some things to do at this office. I drank the drink which was BURNING hot. Then later I went over to pass the documents to my boss. Well, more like slit it under the door of the studio. I was really surprised of what Candy did, but I really appreciated it because this is the first time someone cared for me and went through the trouble just to get some remedy to make it better. On Thursday, I am going to Masion with Candy, Ken Nie, Eugene and Antoine. Hope that everything goes well that night and nothing big happen…

Chapter: Exclusive Preview Tickets
Yesterday I would say that it was an eventful day. Why you might ask? It all began when I went out for dinner with my guy friend, Candy. Yes, I kid you not people. His name is Candy and I assure you that he is a PURE male.
Anyway, Candy asked me out for dinner because he was supposed to meet another friend of ours, Ken Nie but he was working and doesn’t end his shift until 11pm. So I met up with him around 7pm and we headed off to One Utama for dinner. At first he asked, “Where do you want to eat?”
“Chili’s,” I joked.
“Okay,” he said and I stared.
But don’t worry, we didn’t go to Chili’s in the end but we ate at the Vietnamese Kitchen which was just next door. The food there is not bad I must say. We ordered mango duck, yao mak fried with garlic and Assam stingray. Yes, we are eating the stingray that killed Steve Irwin. Okay, that was lame. Ignore that lame-ass joke.
Anyway, continuing my story, after we ate dinner, Candy wanted some dessert. So we were looking back at the menu and saw a very limited variety of dessert. It is either you want to eat tapiocas or tau foo fah. We saw a very interesting dessert called “Six Treasures Home Made Tau Foo Fah”. We just sat there talking and laughing like a pair of nutcases and the dessert came. Both of us looked at the dish and I randomly suggested, “Lets count whether got “six treasures” or not.” Believe it or not, we actually did. That shows how pathetic and crazy we are.
After dinner, which ended only around maximum 8ish pm plus and then we headed off to MPH to see some books but bought nothing because the books that Candy wanted isn’t in stock and the “mangas” I wanted is too pricy for me to buy. Then it was just only 9pm and Candy still have a lot of time to spare while waiting for Ken Nie so I suggested watching a movie.
There were mostly horror movies on which I don’t want to watch and Candy suggested that we watch “Meet the Robinson” since he hates Mr. Bean. So while queuing up for the tickets, a random guy suddenly approached us, more likely towards me and asked “Do you want to watch a free movie?”
“Huh?” I replied and before I could even registered what the guy have said he suddenly gave me two postcards and at the back it stated
You are invited to attend the Mix.Fm exclusive preview of
SUNSHINE
Date: 10th April 2007 (Tuesday)
Time: 9.00pm
Venue: GSC 1 Utama (New Wing)
Hall: 10
Seat: Free seating
*Admits One only
*Complimentary
Candy and I stared at each other and thought that we missed it or something or have to queue up to take the ticket because there was a long line at one corner near the movie area. So Candy decided not to go and started to queue up again for the “Meet the Robinson” movie. When we reached the counter the guy at the counter asked “Sir, you are not going for the movie?” Candy looked at him then at me and asked, “Huh? These things are tickets? Or we need to get the tickets?” and he was waving the postcard like tickets to the guy.
“Yes sir, these are your tickets sir. You can just walk in like that,” he replied.
Candy and I were stunned and we starting laughing like nutcases again and went towards hall 10 for our movie. When we reached to that point, there were guards / army-looking people that you normally see in the airport checking whether you are carrying armed guns or some drugs with you. But funnily enough, these “guards” were there to check whether you bring in any hand phone or video camera or any devices that can capture movie. We didn’t know that we couldn’t bring our hand phones in and we were asked to leave our hand phones at the counter near the escalator.
In my mind I was thinking “Whoa, tough security” and then waited for Candy for a while because he went to leave our phones at the counter. After all that hassle we have to go through the run through again before entering the cinema. Malaysian time, 9.00pm means 9.30pm and at first Candy and I thought that the show started but realized that they were just showing some advertisements.
One thing I can say about the movie? Please bring a pair of sunglasses if you are going to watch it. For me, the show is pretty boring but certain parts do have it climaxes. Overall, the movie…it isn’t worth seeing in the cinemas. Anyway, the movie is basically a serious movie where it supposedly to keep you at the edge of your seat (okay, maybe I am just exaggerating that) but Candy and I were laughing most of the time in the movie itself. We were thinking of plasma TVs, Star Wars characters, and many other stupid things that we could find in the movie.
After the movie ended, my eyes were sore from all that light that was shown and I assure you that my eyes still hurts now but not as bad as just now in the cinema. Three quarter of the time there are always showing the sun which to me it was really glaring. By the time I reached home, I could literally see in the dark and I kid you not for this factor. It was a pretty amusing day for me and also considering that this is the first time I actually got tickets for an exclusive preview for a movie. I hope I get tickets to watch Transformers or something. Can’t wait!

Chapter : A Boring Entry
It’s been a while since I wrote some interesting entries on what happened to me during the past few months…Anyway, let me try to recap some things that happen but I doubt that I can get all the details right away.
Let me start from my work life at the moment. Everything is going on well, with the work that we do, running up and down to re-shoot the pilot episode for the producers. Then on Sunday itself, have to rush to Shah Alam because my boss called me saying that the post production crew said that the tape couldn’t be read in the video camera which causes him to panic and when he told me, it also made me panic and I rushed all the way to his house and picked him up then drove all the way to Shah Alam.
One thing I can say about Shah Alam, it is a really big place and the signs are always misleading. I tell you, I actually drove around the roundabout continuously just looking for the sign stating “Seksyen 7”. Luckily my boss spotted his friend and asked him to guide us to “Seksyen 7”. While he was guiding us, we realized that Seksyen 7 was way deeper than we thought and we were sort of pissed in a way because the signs kept misleading us to another direction.
Thankfully we managed to reach there with a lot of time to spare and waited for the post production crew guy to come. While waiting there, my boss also called our colleague because he was staying nearby just to sit down and have a drink one in a while. We sat at this “mamak” restaurant to eat and the food there was SALTY. It is like eating SALTY Maggie mee goring. My boss ordered “roti canai” and asked them to put dhal, and when he tasted it, his face went funny and asked us to try it and we did. The dhal tasted salty too! I don’t know what’s up with that restaurant because all the food there is salty. How much salt can one person take?
On the other hand, on Sunday itself, my family and I had an Easter dinner at my mom’s sister’s house which was located all the way in Puchong. Anyway, we were having steamboat and I assure you, the soup was tasteless. Seriously, I literally put salt in my soup to add some taste into it! It’s as though the maid cooked the soup with some chicken bones and that’s it. Everyone was adding salt, soya sauce into their soup to add some flavour.
Speaking of steamboats, Beatrice, my team leader told me that our college mate, Chih Lun suggested that we all go have a steamboat dinner party since all of us have landed a job. From what I know, everyone is working with a fixed time and I am the only one who is having a flexible time. I just hope that this coming weeks that my schedule won’t be so pack if not I can’t go to some events that I want to go.
I was reading an entry in Joey’s journal saying that on the 21st of April that will be a doll event which I don’t want to miss it! It’s the first time ever that this event is held where the doll owners and their dolls either wear a matching set of clothes like their dolls or matching colour sets. It would be held in Cineleisure at 11 am and I pray that I won’t have anything on that day so I can make it to that event. I told Joey that I want to dress up too for the heck of it and she laughed.
Anyway, my mom’s elder sister stayed with us yesterday night and it was really amusing to watch her sleep. At first she was sleeping on the floor when I kept pestering her to sleep on my bed but she insisted that she wants to sleep on the floor because she likes it. My mom’s sister is pretty old fashion in a sense where she is able to sleep without the fan on or without a mattress. She must be really used to the olden days where mattresses and fans doesn’t exist or something. I have on the air-conditioner and she kept asking me to off it which I didn’t due to the fact that the weather was really hot and my room is stuffy. She left the door open because she wanted the cold air to be let out so I on the fan and made it blow towards me only. You might think that I am a selfish bitch.
Then later on today, my grandmother plus her maid plus my mom’s 2nd sister dropped by. I am supposed to bring all of them shopping but for the time being I am hanging out here because they are sitting down chatting. I don’t know when they want to leave so I am just making myself busy with typing this entry and technically, almost doing nothing.

At first she was sleeping on the floor when I kept pestering her to sleep on my bed but she insisted that she wants to sleep on the floor because she likes it. My mom’s sister is pretty old fashion in a sense where she is able to sleep without the fan on or without a mattress. She must be really used to the olden days where mattresses and fans doesn’t exist or something. I have on the air-conditioner and she kept asking me to off it which I didn’t due to the fact that the weather was really hot and my room is stuffy. She left the door open because she wanted the cold air to be let out so I on the fan and made it blow towards me only. You might think that I am a selfish bitch.
Then later on today, my grandmother plus her maid plus my mom’s 2nd sister dropped by. I am supposed to bring all of them shopping but for the time being I am hanging out here because they are sitting down chatting. I don’t know when they want to leave so I am just making myself busy with typing this entry and technically, almost doing nothing.

Chapter : The Interview
On Tuesday, I had an interview with one of the production houses’ company. My interview was at 2pm and the company was located in Kuala Lumpur so therefore I decided to set off early since I know that Kuala Lumpur is normally jam. Waiting for Joey to arrive at my place, I was getting ready my resume and demo reel, and checking whether the files are alright and so forth. The reason why I have dragged Joey along with me because I thought that if I couldn’t find any parking nearby the company, Joey could just sit inside and drive around. Despite that, another good reason is that if I get lost alone, it would be hell. If both of us get lost together it would be fine because Joey some what remembers thing and also not forgetting that she understands landmarks way better than I do.
We left the house at 11.30am and I knew that way to reach to Jalan Ampang. Once we reached to that road, we were already on the look out for the company. If you haven’t guessed it by now, I shall tell you that we got lost on the way. Frantically searching for the particular embassy that was the company’s landmark and we failed for a few times and were already at the peek of our panic state. More like me, not Joey because she wasn’t the one who is getting interviewed. After 2 hours of searching the company as though it was finding a needle in a haystack, we found it. To make matters worse, we actually drove pass the place before that and didn’t realize that the company was smacked right in front of our faces. One of the reasons we didn’t know that it would be the company because it was an old building. Not only that, we thought it was a house, not an office. Who knew that the company was inside that house itself? Another sad thing, there was a sign big enough for us to notice. The sign was as small as the numbers you see when you pass normal houses.
We found the company at approximately 1pm and we ate Mc Donald’s for lunch in my car right in front of the company itself. Well, we orders Mc Donald’s and take away and sat in my car to it because I was mostly afraid that I couldn’t get a decent parking nearby the company. After our lunch, we walked to the company and I told them that I was here for the interview and waited for a while. Joey was inside the company with me but she was just drawing her things. Later I was interviewed by one of the people there who came for the screening. My interview with him was pretty short and then he gave us a tour around the production house. Later on I was interviewed by another guy because I explained that I had an interest in doing 3D Compositing other than 3D Animating.
The people who interviewed me for the 3D Compositing asked me to come back to their office again for a 2nd interview with another demo reel where I have to show what I have done in my 3D Compositing classes and also my design works. At that time I almost died because I know that my works isn’t what you call high quality works and I have no choice but to comp it together and show it to them the 2nd time around. Now I am planning to do as much compositing plus animation works as I can since I am mostly free despite my part-time job and also picking up my brothers from school. The only thing that is stopping me from animating most of the time is because my computer is lagging for me but maybe not to others and also I really suck at modeling. I probably have to ask someone to help me OR teach me OR comment about my modeling work. Even though Beatrice said that people are looking at the animation not the model but I feel embarrassed to show my animation with bad modeling. Therefore I have made up my mind to do the best as I can in my modeling then I can animate.
After the interview, Joey was asked me, “Jessie, is that an interview?”
“Yeah,” I replied.
“Wow, it is so different from what I used to hear from my dad,” she said.
“Well, maybe because it isn’t the white collar sort of business-y thing,” I said.
We headed off to KLCC for a while and stopped by Kinokuniya and both of us bought something that made us really happy. Joey was saying that it was worth waking up early and also getting lost with me to get that book. Amusing I must say. Then we also went to Sungai Wang for a while but we didn’t buy anything there and I didn’t manage to find the bracelet that I was seeking. I managed to buy some nice earrings at KL Sentral though and Joey bought some hair clips at Sungai Wang. After all the trips there, we headed off home. It was really jam and thankfully I know my way home. Imagine if I didn’t know my way home and get lost and be stuck in the jam even more? Both of us would practically die on the spot and have no choice but to crack our brains to search for a sign that will lead us home. KL isn’t a place where I want to be honestly speaking.
After I reached home I had to do my part-time work because the dateline in on Wednesday, Joey rested for a while at my house because she had a headache. I woke her up around 9 something pm and she went home and I was stuck doing my work until now and therefore this entry existed. I am not happy with the work I have done because it was the first time I am trying to animate something really different from what I usually animate such as walking or weight lifting. In this work I am doing, I have to animate jumping and running and I keep getting the timing off and also problems with the character. Even though it is only a test pilot to show to the producers but I was determined to do it really well. I am now ashamed to show my works to them with such bad quality work.
But I don’t have the time to redo it again and not only that, my computer lags on me and I can’t open Photoshop and Maya at the same time if I want to do some textures because when I do so, I can’t even animate in Maya at all. The mouse and computer were screwed up really bad. So I have no choice but to show the sad results to them and hope that they will give me another chance to refine the big huge mess I made throughout the work. That way I would be happy that I am able to do something which I could feel that it is worthy to be called a good quality work instead of doing bad quality work and showing off to people as though my works are labeled “great”.

Chapter : The Screening
I had my animation screening on Thursday, 15th of March. All that I can say that it was a success though I was pretty nervous most of the time because a lot of people attended the screening plus my parents which I purposely “forced” them to attend. The dress code for the night was black and white pants or top but the girls have to wear skirts. So thanks to Joey for lending me the clothes for the night, even though she kept pestering me to wear the shortest skirt she gave to me instead of the asymmetrical skirt that was around above knee length that she had. In the end, on that night I was the asymmetrical skirt and a black top borrowed from her. I looked as though I was prepared to have a wonderful evening dinner at some fancy restaurant.
All in all, everyone said that I look really nice that night and it was flattering but I was more concern about whether the event is going on fine. I was in charge of the ushering and I had to walk up and down the stairs guiding the people who arrived for the screening. Beatrice and Adrian were the MCs for the night and I must say that they did a great job! Everyone was amused and entertained for the night and even though I screwed up part of my presentation speech, but Beatrice assured me that I did fine. Most of the time, the entire class of DG 41 were hanging outside because we didn’t want to stand inside crowding the auditorium. So we just waited outside and let the audience watch the screening and we could hear applauses from them when each animated movie ended.
After the screening, we went in one last time and thanked the people who guided us throughout the four months and also thanking the people who attended the evening. When it all ended, the production companies came to us and gave us their name cards saying that they will contact us next week or we could contact them if we are looking for a job. My cousin’s friend, Yap also attended the screening which clears the suspicion why my mom was really friendly and was able to talk to people who attended the screening. I was talking to him for a while explaining my tasks and also how was college like and also what position I am looking for as a job.
I also met some old lecturers who used to work in the One Academy such as Koon Wah and also Aik Sern. Not only that, I met some of the seniors who have graduated from the academy and I managed to talk to them for a while. Boo and a few juniors also made it to the screening and I was happy that Boo was able to make it because he came all the way from his work place to attend the screening. Joey didn’t attend the screening but she did watch the entire animation before that when I went for this game production house sharing. That night of the screening was really a memorable night for me.
After the screening and when everyone went home, the entire DG41 plus Hooi Ling, Sheng Han and Vincent went to KFC for a small celebration dinner. When we reached there, I saw some seniors hanging around there and we all one big gang sat there and had our dinner. We also celebrated Darren’s birthday which was supposed to be a surprise but it was partly my fault that the surprise birthday party failed because I asked Hooi Ling where was Chih Lun and she answered me without thinking, “He went to get cake for Darren” and during that time when she said that, Darren was just standing next to me. So that is how Darren found out about his surprise birthday party.
After our KFC dinner, the seniors who joined us for the night wanted to watch a movie and they wanted to watch a horror movie. They invited me as well but I am the kind who doesn’t watch horror movies so I declined their offer. So I head back to my car with Darren because he asked me whether I could drop him off at his work place and also I went to drop Beatrice and Vincent at their house. Honestly speaking, I already missed those times I spend at college with them and I really hope that we will keep in touch and will once in a while meet up just for a drink or for a movie. It would be fun to find out what is going on with their lives once in a while.
Not only that, I think if I am not mistaken, Joey called me one time and we were both talking on the phone…suddenly we came to this conversation about that special someone we know from college. It was so amusing when we found out that the special someone and another special someone are getting really close. After I found out that the special someone already broken off with the “spouse”, the realization dawned upon us that both of these special people are getting things on. We laughed so much when we were talking about it until the topic was still fresh in our minds the next day. The next day when I met up with Joey and the rest at Pyramid for a while, we told Yuki about this topic and all of us couldn’t stop laughing for a while and making a big joke about it.
When I went to church on Saturday after meeting up with them at Pyramid, something really funny happened. Maybe I was just having too much fun by myself or just thinking so highly about myself…but hear is the story. During mass, at this one point when the priest says “Lets now offer the sign of peace” and we have to bow to the priest then bow to others to show the sign of peace. During that procedure I was attending mass alone which I am used to it and I quite enjoy it…anyway, back to the story. As I was just offering the sign of peace to the people around me, I saw…spot this one cute guy looking at my way and I offered the sign of peace to him. Then later when I went up to take Holy Communion, and when I was walking back to my place, that particular cute guy whom I noticed and caught his eye smiled at me and I smiled back.
Even though I had this mini smile inside of me, but I was sure that the guy was just being nice. After mass ended, I was walking back to my car; I was so surprised that he was following me behind me! I was so amused and surprised at the same time that I had a hard time hiding my smile. I don’t know whether that guy caught me smiling to myself because all I know that I blushing really red and couldn’t even look properly at where I was walking. Then I called my mom because she called me during mass which I can’t pick up the phone then because it is rude and talked to her for a while. Then that guy suddenly walked in front of me and after I hung up on my mom, he was walking in front of me and I was walking behind of him. I really was trying to hide my overly red face and I just kept looking down on the floor. But I noticed from my view from the ground, he turned back to look at me a few times and that actually made me go even redder.
After I went to my car, I really couldn’t see him in the eye and I quickly drove off in a rush. I looked at myself in the mirror and I could see that my face looked like a beetroot. It was so red. Then I quickly called Joey and told her about the incident and I regretted horribly that I didn’t even stop to say hi or to catch his name. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a while and I kept complaining to Joey about it. Due to this reason, call me a sinner or whatever…I have determined to go to church every Saturday just to catch a glimpse of the guy again. I know, I am going to church for the obvious wrong reasons but it is just this time only for the heck of it. That is what makes church more enjoyable now.
All in all, everyone said that I look really nice that night and it was flattering but I was more concern about whether the event is going on fine.

Chapter: A "typical" Sunday
On Friday Joey and Sylvia had a sleepover at my place which is basically the first time I had friends over my house staying a night. It was pretty fun because we just sat down and chat and watched some shows. Nothing big happened because it is just a small sleepover. Try imagining three people squeezing onto a queen sized bed. It was cool that everyone managed to get some good night’s rest without getting rolled on or pushed off the bed. Well, if someone would get pushed off the bed it would be mainly me because I was at the edge of the bed technically.
Then on Saturday we woke up around 12 something pm and Sylvia went to get her parcel which a friend of hers delivered to her but got stuck at the customs and she did some things and had to pick up the parcel at the post office located at Kelana Jaya. Joey was doing some of her work and I was basically walking around the house doing nothing and feel asleep later on. After when I woke up, we headed off to the Curve do so some shopping which is basically stalking after Borders for the books that are sold there.
Then we walked around the Curve and Cineleisure and found nothing interesting and head back to my place. They ate dinner with my family and my mom cooked curry crabs which they enjoyed it a lot. Then Sylvia went back around 10ish I presume I couldn’t remember then Joey hung around for a little while before heading off to her own home. I’m glad that they managed to enjoy some time at my place even though there isn’t much to do nor I am much of a hostess.
Sunday was pretty much an all-boring day for me because first off I went to church and I met up with some friends after mass and so happen his sister is just about to finish Form 5 this year and was planning to go to the One Academy to study. Well, it is more like she is looking at some offers for colleges for the time being and so happen I’m a graduate from that college. Then later reached home fell asleep and woke up just in time for dinner. Seriously, I don’t know how long I have slept. I have been sleeping too much lately and it is getting a bit annoying for me because most of the time I spent is on my bed asleep. I am turning into some kind of a weird bum I assure you.
Then later Daniel Lee called up and asked to meet up with him because he got a part-time job offer for me. So I met up with him later around 10ish pm and met his friend too and now I’m basically having a part-time job without me realizing. Things happened really fast during that period of time and I am pretty happy that well, I have something to do now instead of bumming at home. Now my siblings have one week of holiday and therefore they will be running around at home and then I will start my work for my mom next week which my mom said that there is a lot of things for me to know and to do. It would be pretty tough for me because I am an animator student and I am going to learn how to do accounts and filing and all those secretarial things.
Well, my mom is going to pay me if I am not mistaken RM 500 per month since I am not experienced in the line she is doing and I think it is pretty much a fair amount and I was hoping that she would make it RM 800 so I could park some cash aside so I could save up to buy some things that I really want. Though it isn’t much but I guess it would do for the time being since I am mostly at home and doing nothing most of the time besides becoming a driver picking my siblings from school. I guess with the cash that I would have I would buy some books that I am wanting to buy for quite some time now and probably some gifts for my parents since I haven’t been giving them some presents for their birthdays. What a bad daughter I have become.
But come to think of it, it would be easier to shop things for my mom but I wouldn’t know what to get for my dad. What is there to get for a person who can buy anything he wants? A tie is too common and besides that my dad has enough ties already. If I want to buy him t-shirts, my dad is pretty particular when it comes to t-shirts because it has to be me think if I am not mistaken, 100% cotton or so ever that sort of requirements that he wants when he gets a t-shirt. In the end, I end up having trouble getting a “perfect” gift for my dad.
Anyway, my high school friend suddenly came up to me wanting to play a game of Reversi and that time when I was playing with him, I was busy chatting with my friends, typing this journal entry and doing some surfing and I wasn’t even paying attention to the game and it was so funny when I won a few rounds and he was like,”After tonight I am going to disturb you each day just to play Reversi.”
“Erm, okay…I don’t mind that since most of the nights I am just doing my normal thing and it would be interesting to have a game with you once in a while,” I replied.
“Yeah, I must practice with you each day so one day I can surpass you!” he said.
“Sure…erm…Okay?” I replied confused.
As I am typing this entry right now, he is playing Reversi with me and he keeps pestering me why I take so long to make a move. But in the end he managed to win me and he was like,
“Did you give me a chance to win?”
“Nope, I don’t think so…” I replied.
“You lie! I am so going to play with you again!” he said.
“Okay, whatever you say…” I replied with a laugh.
“Maybe tomorrow night, I’m off to bed,” he said.
Then after we bid each other good night, he went off to bed and I am still online writing this entry and occasionally drawing some stuff which I am planning to post it in the forums. What can I summarized up from my day? From a boring Sunday to, I have a part-time job and I have a partner to play Reversi each night. Funny.
Then on Saturday we woke up around 12 something pm and Sylvia went to get her parcel which a friend of hers delivered to her but got stuck at the customs and she did some things and had to pick up the parcel at the post office located at Kelana Jaya. Joey was doing some of her work and I was basically walking around the house doing nothing and feel asleep later on.

I have been sleeping too much lately and it is getting a bit annoying for me because most of the time I spent is on my bed asleep. I am turning into some kind of a weird bum I assure you.
Then later Daniel Lee called up and asked to meet up with him because he got a part-time job offer for me. So I met up with him later around 10ish pm and met his friend too and now I’m basically having a part-time job without me realizing. Things happened really fast during that period of time and I am pretty happy that well, I have something to do now instead of bumming at home. Now my siblings have one week of holiday and therefore they will be running around at home and then I will start my work for my mom next week which my mom said that there is a lot of things for me to know and to do. It would be pretty tough for me because I am an animator student and I am going to learn how to do accounts and filing and all those secretarial things.
Well, my mom is going to pay me if I am not mistaken RM 500 per month since I am not experienced in the line she is doing and I think it is pretty much a fair amount and I was hoping that she would make it RM 800 so I could park some cash aside so I could save up to buy some things that I really want. Though it isn’t much but I guess it would do for the time being since I am mostly at home and doing nothing most of the time besides becoming a driver picking my siblings from school. I guess with the cash that I would have I would buy some books that I am wanting to buy for quite some time now and probably some gifts for my parents since I haven’t been giving them some presents for their birthdays. What a bad daughter I have become.
But come to think of it, it would be easier to shop things for my mom but I wouldn’t know what to get for my dad. What is there to get for a person who can buy anything he wants? A tie is too common and besides that my dad has enough ties already. If I want to buy him t-shirts, my dad is pretty particular when it comes to t-shirts because it has to be me think if I am not mistaken, 100% cotton or so ever that sort of requirements that he wants when he gets a t-shirt. In the end, I end up having trouble getting a “perfect” gift for my dad.
Anyway, my high school friend suddenly came up to me wanting to play a game of Reversi and that time when I was playing with him, I was busy chatting with my friends, typing this journal entry and doing some surfing and I wasn’t even paying attention to the game and it was so funny when I won a few rounds and he was like,”After tonight I am going to disturb you each day just to play Reversi.”
“Erm, okay…I don’t mind that since most of the nights I am just doing my normal thing and it would be interesting to have a game with you once in a while,” I replied.
“Yeah, I must practice with you each day so one day I can surpass you!” he said.
“Sure…erm…Okay?” I replied confused.
As I am typing this entry right now, he is playing Reversi with me and he keeps pestering me why I take so long to make a move. But in the end he managed to win me and he was like,
“Did you give me a chance to win?”
“Nope, I don’t think so…” I replied.
“You lie! I am so going to play with you again!” he said.
“Okay, whatever you say…” I replied with a laugh.
“Maybe tomorrow night, I’m off to bed,” he said.
Then after we bid each other good night, he went off to bed and I am still online writing this entry and occasionally drawing some stuff which I am planning to post it in the forums. What can I summarized up from my day? From a boring Sunday to, I have a part-time job and I have a partner to play Reversi each night. Funny.
