The muzak: Sleep All Day - Jason Mraz
June 16, 2005
verbal diarrhoeahello hello hello.
i am BACK from KL!!!
oh i've missed singapore so much.
i don't know if any of you noticed but i've woken up from my blonde "moment" which lasted 6 days because in my previous post, i stupidly stated that i will be away for 5 days when if you actually counted properly, 10th through 15th meant SIX days. oops, but oh well!
i am currently putting up KL pictures on zorpia. as i said before, pictures do speak more than a thousand words. i am feeling too lazy to type a longwinded post about the events that occurred during the 6 days of neglecting my blog. its 3:35pm and i'm still in my pyjamas drinking a mug of hazelnut coffee. speaking of coffee, i should be looking for a job at starbucks soon.
anyway, back to KL.
lets talk about shopping first. shopping wasn't as great as i hoped it would be because it was on the last day that i finally found a nice shoppping mall (and i only had less than 2 hours to conquer it) while on all the other days, i wasted my time shuffling through huge malls desperately trying to find stores worth entering, which weren't that many, sadly. i've learned that we should never judge a shopping mall by how it looks outside or by its name. for example, if you had a choice to go shop at either berjaya times square or sungei wang, which would you choose? times square of course! BUT! as unlikely (cheapo and cheenah) as it might sound, sungei wang was the exact shopping mall where i got to have the most satisfying shopping experience throughout the whole of my stay in KL (welllll, other than that trip i made to F.O.S- F.O.S. is awesome).
crap, i'm already beginning to be longwinded.
so here's a list of things i bought just in case some of you are dying to know:
-two shirts from F.O.S.
-two mickey mouse shirts
-pair of pyjama pants (pink with white polkadots. its so cute i'm gonna wear them out one day. hobo day II awaits ruth!)
-pair of bedroom slippers
-lots of badges/pins
-wallet from roxy
-DVDs (million dollar baby, napoleon dynamite, and coach carter)
-book
-4 packs of really funny-tasting chewing gum. (the packaging looked too cute to resist but i was deceived. ugh.)
i think that's it? i used up every single cent my dad gave me :D last thing i spent on was two slices of chocolate fudge cake. YUM.
let me attempt to summarize 6 days of KL now.
10/06 Friday
my trip began with about 5 hours of bus ride to KL which consisted of sleeping, eating and being entertained by VCDs played on the bus's tv screen.
the first VCD we got to watch was RAMBO III! ha ha ha! we thought that was bad until the old bus attendant with smelly-looking feet inserted some VCD of blue full spandex lady booty shaking along to malay latino pop music. it was extremely disturbing. my heart went out to the little kiddies on the bus whom i'm sure, wondered why that woman seemed soooo deranged. the camera would zoom in onto her butt (which she seemed or was VERY VERY proud of) every 2 minutes. at least me and ruth found it hilarious- because it was. the only decent VCD we got to watch was In Good Company, thanks to MJ who brought it along with him. good old topher grace and dennis quaid! oh and scarlett johansson :D
so after those 5 hours, we reached the hotel. we were very pleased by it- nice hotel room, good food, good service etc. i got to share a room with ruth, jeanne, and rach :D fun fun fun! first night session with ian mckellar was about the church- covenant community and stuff. that was very good.
11/06 Saturday
after breakfast, morning session, and then lunch, we got to go SHOPPING! ..... at times square. oh we were soooo excited, so the disappointment was pretty big. at least there was F.O.S. to redeem us from our disappointment. we walked over to F.O.S where we spent lots of time trying on LOTS of clothes. that was fun.
aaah i give up. making a post on 6 days and elaborating on each day is just too troublesome.
just go visit my lovely and handy ZORPIA!
other than the shopping, i was sooooooooooooooooooooo blessed by russ's and ian's ministry where they preached about the church, faith, God's fatherliness (is that a word?) etc. i'm still feeling a little overwhelmed by everything.
big things that i've learned:
-live a life worthy of the calling you've received from God (i still haven't figured out what my calling is exactly...)
-the fruit of faith is not blessing but obedience. we shouldn't reduce God's power to the amount of faith we have. our faith is like a mustard seed, but it doesn't matter because as long as our focus is on God (and not our puny faith) big things can happen.
-we've come to this kingdom at such a time as THIS. God put us on earth with a specific role, and for a specific reason/purpose during this specific time and we shouldn't waste our life away investing on temporary things of the world but instead, begin to invest on expanding God's kingdom, and just being part of God's kingdom for his will to be done through you.
-(this wasn't part of any of the russ's or ian's sermons but what ruth heard on her ipod-starla's sermon) the difference between christianity and other religons (such as buddhism, islam, hinduism and etc.) is that other religions attempt to seek god, but for our case, God seeks us and chooses us. i never really thought of it that way. and i felt so special cos God chose me :D
very interesting, right now, i'm having a discussion with ino on how to levitate birds. fortunately, i'm very skilled in this area.
do any of you know who marla sokoloff is? me, ruth, rach, and jeanne were playing hangman late at night in our hotel room, and when it came to my turn, i thought haaaaaaaaaaaaard, really hard and finally came up with "marla sokoloff" but NONE of them had any idea who she was!!!! she was in dude where's my car, sugar and spice, AND whatever it takes.
oh well. i won that round of hangman so yay!
other than playing hangman, we got to watch lots of tv in the hotel room. average joe hawaii was the most entertaining i must say. the girl's name was larissa (heh, that's my sexy brazillian name according to the quiz at blogthings ; ) heh heh.)- she was really pretty, but the guys were all really dorky on purpose. so i guess the producer tried to make a shallow reality tv show, not so shallow by getting a beautiful girl to look deeper than only skin deep.
malaysian idol was pretty entertaining too.
the little flaws of malaysia:
-gross toilets (after all the countless trips i've made to malaysia, i still don't get the technique of using a shower hose instead of toilet paper. thank goodness for kleenex!)
-lots of flies
-polluted air
-how my hotel room was located on the smoking floor.
-men making kissy noises and randomly talking to you. poor ruth had some middle-aged man at carrefour say to her "eh, byooteeful ger ah! byooteeeful ger!"
and on the elevator, me and ruth were singing some random song when two men came in and asked us to "sing again! sing again and make us happy!" that was really weird.
the goooooood sides:
-dunkin donuts!
-baskin robbins!
-exchange rate (almost everything becomes so cheap)
-biiiig F.O.S outlets
-cheap famous amos cookies
-coke, sprite, and fanta strawberry drinks in cute bottles
-really good roti prata
-uuh... lots of land?
hmmmm yes yes yes. its 6:02pm and i'm still in my pyajamas! no, i didn't take 3 hours to type this post. i had a huge interval sometime between 4-6pm cuz my mom had to urgently use the computer to fill out some resume. 'tis nice lazing at home finally :D was supposed to watch batman begins with isaku pete and dan but lazing at home sounded nicer to me today. i have no regrets! ha ha ha!
no plans for tomorrow so far. i wanna get cracking on my easel and canvas! and on saturday, me and ruth get to help out aunty juliana with victoria's birthday party! fun fun fun. cake cake cake. food food food. little kids little kids little kids.
okay well, i shall stop here even though i probably have more to say.
l8erzzzzzzz.
