Sometimes You Need To Talk To Yourself

You know, I had a dream the other day.

It has to be the overdose of Geisha books that I've been indulging in(am currently reading Geisha, A Life by Mineko Iwasaki) or else I would not ever ever have had such a dream.

I dreamt that I was a geisha. Yup. Go ahead and laugh.

Or rather auditioning for some geisha position of sorts I don't know. There were this bunch of business men in suits directing a whole line of geishas and they were pointing at us and sort of picking the geishas of their choices or rather directing the geishas to move here and there for I don't know what.

Then after awhile, there was only me and another petite geisha left in line. A conceited business man looked at us and spoke to his assistant.

"OKAY! Ask that girl over there(he points at the petite geisha) and that refrigerator to come over here."

He was pointing at me when he said refrigerator.

I felt SO fat and hurt in my dream. Hahahaha. Oh my god. And NO, I do not have some secret fetish to be a geisha..Nononononono.. What a stupid idea.. haha..

~*

Sometimes it sucks that I do not have a car here. However, it would not be practical especially when I go back for the holidays. Sigh. But it really sucks when you have to almost beg for rides from friends to do simple tasks like buying groceries and doing things like going to Telekom to settle some issues and etc.

And especially when everybody has their own dinner at home and some others have gone out with other friends and a few sweep happiness(translate to cantonese) ones want to go eat yucky stuff at the cafeteria. Which happens pretty often.

I looked into the bag of food my mother packed for me when I came back to Kedah. Ahah! Instant Nissin Noodles. At least something with soup and a bit of veggie. Even if the veggie is preserved.

:( Maybe I'll go to the cafeteria after all.

I really miss home cooked food. The closest I can get to it is going to the nearby coffeeshops and without a car, I can't do much. Walking takes 25 minutes. Cycling takes about 15 minutes. Maybe I should get a bicycle? Sigh and don't forget, Sungai Petani is notorious for rapist, murderers and reckless drivers.

No, I'm not going to ask for a car because it's not practical and furthermore I'm consuming so much for my education as it is. What do three people who live in a house and attend the same classes need three cars for? But they do not want me to pay for the petrol because then they'd feel indebted to fetch me around.

SIGH. I'm making a barter system with them. I will foot the internet bills every month as I hitch rides of them everyday.

~*

I just want to come home. If it wasn't for the internet, I would be miserable. There're not enough friends here. I only know 42 people here. Oh, if you want to count a few lecturers in, that's fine.

THERE'S NO LIFE HERE. Kedah feels like a different era compared to home. It feels like a.....a...a..different..TIME ZONE. Argh. I'm serious. If it wasn't for classes, there is NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING to do here.

~*

You know why home is SO happening? Even though most of my closest and dearest are away.. but at least I have fun things to do like attend Amanda's(Tan) dog, Goldie's birthday party!! She even asked me to bring Angel along. LOL.

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.


Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
