OH DEAR LORD.
her eyes, how bewitching.
and that slight cock in her eyebrow... whoooooo!
i'm telling you, i'd definitely fumble too.

on merdeka day, instead of doing anything of patriotic significance, joel and i went over to baskin robbins. it was the 31st, so there was a 31% discount on everything.
we went to the pulau tikus branch, and let me tell you, it was like a can of sardines in there, much to joel's surprise. here's a fact: when there's anything free, anything on sale, any promotion, you can count on us malaysians being there. no shit, i'm not kidding you.
it was hot, stuffy and crowded, many flavours were running out, but the worst thing was they had no more pint-sized ice-cream takeaway thingys. like, fuck me! are they for real? i had no choice but to purchase one quart of cookie dough ice-cream because i already promised my little brother i would get him some. the initial plan was to sit down and have a nice chat whilst devouring some ice-cream cones. we aborted and went over to the nearby coffee bean branch. now, i know i kinda swore not to go over there ever again, but i had no choice. there was no starbucks in sight and we just wanted a drink or two, the non-alcoholic kind!
i didnt bump into anybody i've worked with before, so thank god. i hate doing all these, you know, follow-up kinda things. what i'm saying is, they're not exactly friends but it's just the fact that i've worked with them before. you bump into them, and there's the awkward conversation and all, which i find really silly.
sigh.
i had their latest promotion drink, and god, it tasted AWFUL. waste of my fucking money; i should have went for the iced hazelnut latte. joel had the hazelnut ice blended, of which the cashiers exploited to earn some extra cash for the company. they tricked him into paying an additional rm3 for two pumps of chocolate fudge, blended into his beverage. i mean, one would have been tolerable, but two? he didnt even know what they were charging him for. i, too, thought it was only one pump, but NOOOOO. that's one aspect i've always disliked about their sales strategy, 'tricking' customers into paying extra without informing them beforehand. i foresee a boycott... even though i've been yearning for their cheesecake. bleh
there was free wi-fi, so after a few comments on his facebook status and a little conversation (HAHAHA) with seumas, we said our goodbyes and made our way home.
yesterday was a surprise holiday given to us by the school (chung ling students only, sorry). hahaha, so in end, it's almost like an extra week of holidays for me because i skipped school this tuesday. i overslept, you see; so did my brothers and father. my brothers made it to school though, which was possible for them since their schools were only, at most, five minutes away.
anyhoo, i went for a movie with switching yesterday. a fellow horror fan, we were actually planning to watch orphan and the final destination back-to-back. unfortunately, they've stopped showing the former for no apparent reason.
i waited 2 hours for switching to arrive. to pass the time, i read lat cartoons in mph.
they had me guffawing.
aaaah, lat is truly a great cartoonist.
the movie? thumbs down, this time round.
it was horrible! the acting was inferior, some scenes were just pure nonsense, and the movie was supposed to be all thriller/horror with the occasional comic relief, right? GAWD NO. i'm not sure if the humour was intended or not, but it was just over-the-top! the suspense and morbid anticipation were just momentary, temporary aspects felt during the film. stupid, aint it? luckily the tickets were at student price, because it would not have been worth paying rm10. oh, they also repeated the ways of how some people died! seriously? unoriginal.
after the film, we headed to starbucks. switching said the blueberry cheesecake there isnt half bad, so i tried it, and it was quite delicious and all, but i think the same thing over at coffee bean tastes a wee bit better. we had a nice chat and a few good laughs until she had to leave for the hospital to visit her grandma.
it wasnt that bad a day.
