alas, regret

after an entire weekend of doing everything but studying, i am filled with self-loathing on this cold dark monday morning, 1.27am, with naught but a french midterm to usher me into this new week.

fuck.

friday was tx's/eric's/james' joint birthday bash and it was, to say the least, bloody madness. went to james' room to pregame very noisily, then to senior fauver where every single azn on campus was congregated very drunkenly. birthday boys passed out, an ambulance was needed, and i created a mess in my friend's apartment, talked to everyone there, and stole my friend's bag. ah, the folly of youth.

sat woke up with monster hangover, so stayed in bed and watched korean drama until the sun threatened to set on me. andrew invited us over for food - he cooked hak cheong gai (asdfjaskjdfhakjsh shiok), luke made horfun, i made meekia and siyou made... milo. was nice long alcohol-less dinner which lasted until 10, then went over to tx's house to visit.

today, cooked dinner at senior fauver with tx to repent for our... indiscretions. chicken curry and asparagus! i fried the asparagus! it was good!

and now i am so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so dead for tmr. so, bye.

goodwill

i love the all-encompassing exhaustion that follows after a day of madwhirlwind rushing. such a good brand of tiredness, i want to bottle it.

this is why i am holding on for a bit longer before i crash and die on my warm soft bed with Bobby. (bobby is kahpuang, don't misunderstand hor thanks.)

skyped with jasmine today, whom i haven't seen for like, a bloody year. the familiarity is overwhelmingly comforting. also, comfortingly overwhelming.

home beckons. this is the time where i start to forget my parents' faces again and my mind's eye squints to remember Nemo's exact features.

BUT. wanderlust cannot be sated so i am going to TRAVEL MY ASS OFF THIS SUMMER before going home for good. so excited omg. russiagreeceamsterdamcambodiavietnam. these words roll off my tongue like coins into a wishing well.

new york, new york

today was great. last night, after leaving the busted 'innocent gathering' in carlo's room, cosmic coincidence and mighty fate and divine intervention dictated that rachel, christine, shirin and me (of the 'appear offline' disease) appeared online at the SAME TIME at 1.45am and we decided on spur of moment to meet in NY, today. WAS SO HAPPY. had to wake up at 7am though.

BUT. hauling ass out of bed in ungodly cold and paying taxi extortionate amounts of money were worth it!!!! rachel was v good host for me shirin and jabir, all of country bumpkin status. here is what we did, in chronological order:
- met rachel, brought us to 32nd street aka KTOWN nyeheheh. ate at shanghai mong, where i had damn good msg-laden fried rice with kimchi and fish roe. wah lau. damn nice la. and was surrounded by hangul. and again, we shouted until angmohnang look at us. no matter where we are in the world ah..... is same.
- went to union square where at 3pm sharp there was a NEW YORK CITY PILLOW FIGHT. WHY GOT PPL ORGANIZE THESE KIND OF THINGS ONE. how to not love a city like that, how. people BRING their own pillows and sit patiently around the square for fight to start, leh. i spotted: drunken santas, a chicken man, a braveheart, a humongous tuna fish pillow, a pikachu pillow, and a victorian princess, among others. AIYOH is the only response la. when the fight started... it was chaos. feathers sort of poufed into the sky, damn chio.

the infamous tuna pillow.
rachel: *trying to find patrick in the fray* look for the giant fish! LOOK FOR THE GIANT FISH!

Pikachu


aiyahhhh

- oh before fight started, we stood at a freaking dog pen for very long, staring at dogs. ok it sounds damn boring here but THE DOGS IN THE PEN WERE DAMN CUTE LA I GIGGLE FOR 15 MINTUES LOR.

- after fight ended, we walked to Magnolia bakery in Greenwich for these bad babies:
had to wait for like half an hour, but whatever.

along the way, i was accosted many times by the heinous and effusive chinese of patrick, who er, called me dabian la. dunno why. apparently, i am related to this:

it is a lump of shit, who is also my sister.
i....... dunno la. dunno.


greenwich village townhouses! so pretty omg i must live there one day. must la, but cannot. sianjipua.

then, we sat at a park for a while eating the muffins in nice sunlight and talking about... queefs and the like. then, tried to visit hudson river but was too cold. so. went to the SATC sex shop (the one with The Bunny) and were fascinated by the... products.

somehow, the sex shop put us on the mood for dinner so we ate at damn nice Scandinavian restaurant where i had Swedish meatballs WITH JAM :D:D:D. happy bitch, i was.

then after that had to leave the beauty that is NY alr, even though the fibres of my being were telling me to stay with rachel at columbarium and watch star wars till the wee hours of the morn. came back, showered, went for nong's birthday and drank a little, and am back again.

A GOOD DAY. RACHEL I COMES VISIT YOU VERY SOON HOKAY. :D

Friday, March 21, 2008

i blog when bored

another day on campus, another day of er, finding things to do.

oh but i woke up and found christine online and we skyped! vairy hairpee!!!! even though never see hide nor hair for like, 3 months, we were wearing fbt shorts, with big shirt, wearing glasses and eating pocky and talking to each other across continents. win. hee.

and zen, went to adong with nate and sue, where i went insane buying things like daogay, pocky, coconut jelly, organics shampoo, milo, cheecheongfun, and fresh prawns zomg. spent a bit too much, but whatever. the pocky, and the wangwang, and the keropok, are worth it.

came back and spent a very fun and stressful 2+ hours cooking laksa and meesiam prima deli mixes (damn authentic lor, i fry tofu and cut spring onions and boil egg and cook fishballs and shit. also, the prima mixes are freaking pwnage! laksa package got bloody guchye summore ok. hahaha win.). sue and nate and chanyoung made korean food: japchae (which is basically tanghoon) and miso soup and fried pork. and then we ate. and ate and ate and ate. and somin and eric and luke came and ate too. was nice!

after that watched er, enchanted, which is not as bad or good as people say it is. it is normal. that it my verdict. ok no one cares.

then was bored after that, so me and sue made bubble tea. boil pearls and all. it turned out damn nice la wah lau i can quit school and become hawker alr. will have rolex watch, gold tooth and drive bmw one lor. but after i consumed the bubble tea and it was no more, my life had no more meaning again so i bothered andrew in his room until he wanted to sleep so i came back to lonely room and watched korean drama again.

ah, life in the rural backwaters of new england.

tomorrow.... movie marathon in middle(of fucking nowhere)town cinema with shirin and rudi, then marathon futurama session with carlo. hopefully that will take up the whole day. but first! gym! -.-

ooh summer plans are looking very exciting. i hope it happens. PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN. shall not say anything here so won't jinx.

ok it is fucking 4.08am what the hell am i doing WHAT AM I DOING. it is so easy to waste life away.

must sleep. night.

it is already fucking thursday

last day in ny was great. I LOVE NY zomg. how the hell to live in the shithole that is middletown, how. i need to get out of campus again, this time mebbe Boston on sat. shiokz.

so i left diana's house in the morning (like secret lover) and found my way to astor place all the way from flushing! then met james and led him around soho heehee my sense of direction is not as wack as i thought it was. we had lunch at some small diner which served blardy nice paninis (i had a pork one, of course) then walked around summore. i love walking around new york! we were standing at a roadside vendor haggling for fake dior bag when suddenly someone freaking tried to grab my bag away from me and i almost ALMOST panicked and shat my pants when i realised it was bloody nate. DAMN SCARY OK OMG. anyway. walked around summore, though it is difficult to shop with two whiny boys. and in the evening, i led them to taisho (rachel you must go there, must) at astor place where we had this bad boy:

ramen with pork and spicy cod roe. i think my tongue grew a face and smiled. ok that image damn scary YUCKS i want to scratch my tongue omg. ok shall shut up.

happy ramen eating wesleyan students. (that, above, is probably my best angle.)

today woke up obscenely late, went to gym, met shuwei who very kindly invited me to pyungah's birthday dinner at japanese restaurant with whole bunch of korean/japanese seniors 0.o. was nice though, i talked to tachi who is damn damn cute! (ok if any wesleyan students reading this i die HARHARHAR.) like 10 yr old boy liddat nyeheheh. after that, went to bar where i got in on shuwei's passport. is good to be an azn man, angmohs all cannot tell difference one. drank, shouted a bit, resisted eric's attempts to drag me to his room to watch korean dramas, and am now here. an unexpectedly nice day!

and tomorrow is when i go to azn supermarket to BUY MILO AND ORGANICS SHAMPOO WHOO.

omg just saw pictures of hallmate's spring break and (this is going to get un-PC so shall speak in code) got one picture of bai4 moses de ren2 mooning the camera. AND HOR, THE ASSCRACK IS HAIRY ONE LEH. OMGOMGOMGOMG CAN VOMIT AND DIE AND PASS OUT. wah lau eh sibeh tahan. why got hair there one............???????? this is why i love belonging to race of hairless huang2 se4 rens2.

on another note, have been listening nonstop to 50 first dates soundtrack, to remind me of beach days. it makes me feel very very happy in this shitty new england weather.
So, please listen to Amber by 311, Hold Me Now by Wayne Wonder, and Friday I'm In Love by Dryden Mitchell. is like chicken soup for the soaked soul.

back!

so, puerto rico was great. it consisted mainly of lying on the beach, soaking up the much-missed sun, making fun of thomas, eatin' chicken and rice and beans, home-cooked food, and listening to the 50 first dates soundtrack.

cos i am lazy and sleepy, shall summarize:
day 1 - woke up late after red-eye flight, then just spent entire day at an impossibly blue beach near melina's house. was bitch-slapped by waves, watched erwin attempt to climb a coconut tree, and took many photos on rocks. went home in evening, luke cooked thai curry and ting cooked coke chicken and went happily to sleep.

day 2 - spent entire day in san juan, the capital of PR. the houses were pastel and gorgeous, went to a pretty cemetery, patronised a quaint little pastry shop, fooled around on an impossibly green field. tried going to bacardi factory but the bitch was closed. WHY DOES THE LORD PREVENT ME FROM IMBIBING ALCOHOL, WHY. anyway. went back to melina's where noumaan (who was referred throughout the trip by Melina's hilariously un-PC father as Paki (short for pakistani harharhar)) cooked instant curry (alternative name coined by father: PAKI PACKET HAHAHA. i love it la, the political uncorrectness.) and andrew cooked ecuadorean chicken. DAMN SHIOK, after that fat fat went to sleep. heeheehee. i love sleeping when fatfat la. happy until giggle one.

day 3 - took ferry to Culebra, small island off PR. woke up at ungodly hour of 4.30am :(:( but when we arrived.... WAS FREAKING WORTH IT. had roast chicken for lunch which is always, always, shiok, went to the more impossibly blue beach and spent the whole day there lazing around in water, jumping on huge waves, swallowing water, snorkeling, sleeping on the beach, INHALING TWO MANGO SMOOTHIES IN QUICK SUCCESSION, eating chicken kebabs, and burying andrew in the sand (we gave him J-cup breasts and a cone shaped penis, which quickly collapsed into a va-jay-jay, which then became a er... komodo dragon, just because. dunno la. the brain of luke is a mystery).

interesting fact: have you ever noticed that sand-men always, inevitably, end up as hermaphrodites. testament to the maturity of the human mind, eh.

went back to our beach apartment, had bbq dinner while playing cranium - found out that it is insanely difficult to hum 'oops i did it again' and that jenny thinks that zorro is an extinct animal. went back to the beach to hang out and THE STARS FILLED THE SKY. can see orion and big dipper that kind, wah lau. and i saw a shooting star! was quietly very happy :D

day 4 - spent entire day just driving back to Ponce. had mega dinner, where melina's parents cooked some Puerto Rican traditional chicken stew and baked salmon and noumaan used another Paki Packet. went out after that to downtown Ponce to the er, clarbing area. a group of 14 asians walking around was apparently an unimaginable sight to the locals. ppl TURN AROUND to stare at us lor, felt damn exotic. came back, hung out on the roof with a trampoline and some alcohol.

(my house next time must have trampoline room. MUST.)

day 5 - with half of us gone, we went to a waterfall where er, i v embarrassingly took half an hour to muster up the courage to jump off rock ledge into the water. WAS CRIPPLED WITH THE FEAR OMG. got nice man called bryan take video of all of us, and is going to send me them. heh. video of me falling damn unglamly into the water on my ass will probably arrive in mail soon. WE CAN THEN ALL HAVE A RIGHT LAUGH AT THE GIRL WHO CANNOT DIVE. after that, went hiking up a mountain expressly for the purpose of making ourselves hungry for dinner, WHICH WAS VARIOUS FRIED MEATS AT A PUERTO RICAN EATERY. omg. tired and sore and muddy, then eat fried chicken and fried pork and beef and fried bananas and piƱa colada IS BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. was very very very happy. the pork was like zicha pork manz. cannot take it, after a while can feel the heart stopping and the arteries choking BUT CANNOT STOP. then after that not enough, so went to have chocolate cake with ice-cream at another restaurant. heheheh. arteries pop alr.

~~~~~~~~

ok that was written when i got back. and i er, forgot to post, cos got distracted by nap. lazy to put up photos, if you are so inclined, they are on facebook. or shall put them up one day when i am bored out of skull.

so life after puerto rico ain't bad either, mainly cos it comprises mostly eating.
on sun went to main street with shirin to eat nice brunch at cafe, went back to sleep, woke up for pho at main street again with bunch of people. then... skyped jerrine at night! finally! was very very very to the power of infinity nice! commiserated about many things, and made each other itchy by staring into the camera very intensely. hahaha. I heart fiends. :) and i miss fiends. :(

and now... i'm in new york! left school in the morning to go to malaysian restaurant. ADS;FJADKSFJHAKJLSDFHKLAJSDFHJKADFHAJK MALAYSIAN RESTAURANT! IN NEW HAVEN! kinyan mark rheesoo nate sue james sarah chanyoung came along and we had:
char kuay teow
nasi lemak
mango chicken (dunno why the hell this is malaysian)
beef rendang
roti prata
kangkong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND GET THIS: SAMBAL STING RAY.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the mouth waters and dies with the happiness. the tongue has orgasm. the saliva drips down chin.
was so so so so so so so so so happy, like you wouldn't believe.

and the restaurant had a lot of angklungs for decoration, which i played with very excitedly. NAT AND NAOMIN AND SK AND JERRINE, A SHOUT OUT TO YOU!

after that, nate drove us to Flushing, NY, where nice senior, Diana, brought me sue nate chanyoung for 'best' bubble tea in NY! was damn shiok man, the pearls ah.................................
after that, we had a lot of fun exploring asian central by ourselves. went to korean supermarket where i was extremely happy browsing korean foodstuff with sue and chanyoung's expert korean advice. heeheehee. and then to korean bookstore, where i happily learnt many korean words. then walked down chinese street WHERE I BOUGHT ROAST DUCK ZOMG. AND THEN. we went to korean restaurant where we had BBQ BULGOGI AND KIMCHI STEW STEAMBOAT OMG I AM SO HAPPY AND SO FAT NOW I CANNOT TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the most pleased my stomach and mouth have ever been.

tmr if all goes acc to plan, am going to Manhattan to meet james to have chinese dumplings , then shop, then after that meet nate and co for amazing pork ramen and teppanyaki, then back to school.

and thurs i am going to cook prawn noodles and mee siam. and eat sue's korean japchae and bbq pork.

er, the obesity approaches. i scared.

ok need to shower now, cos smell of pork. and entry damn long alr, soz. bye!
