This is how accustomed we have become to my pimptress hat. Hehe.


Aumm..


*scrape scrape* And I didn't ask Lie Yuen to take a photo at THIS angle. i look like an aunty with saggy boobs. ANGLE SAJA OKAY....ANGLE.

Josiah has been talking about this pasar malam about 15 minutes away from where we stay. He asked us if we were interested to check it out and have dinner there on Tuesday. Of course I would readily say yes to any photo taking opportunity.


Little Boss relaxing while manning his mum's rattan stall.


NAUGHTY GIRL!!! YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT YOUR RICE AGAIN??? I BEAT YOU ONLY YOU KNOW....!! WHERE'S MY TANG TIU ARRRR....??

*shivers at childhood memories* just kidding lah. Only once or twice my grandmother would say it to us. My dad's form of punishment is kneeling down in front of the altar/take rubber bands and flick it at us/leave me downstairs with the lights off/threatened to only feed me roti canai with sugar and nothing else(i ended up loving roti canai and sugar more than any other mamak food).


Ughh..but people still eat it.


The aroma of joss sticks and incense is somewhat nostalgic to the average Chinese, don't you think?


Veges are always pretty to photograph!


THE LOVE OF MY LIFE....We've been in love for... 16 years now. My grandmother put some durians on a plate for me and put some newspapers on the floor of the dining room for me to sit on. While the adults enjoyed a durian feast at the dining table, 3 year old Jolene dug her fingers curiously into the soft fleshy durian with utmost fascination. She stuck her thumb into her mouth and the rest as they say is history.


Rempah ratus... herbs.


BRA..LELONG LELONG. I know it's about the same price as those that they sell in Carrefour..but ew.. Can never bring myself to buy undergarments from pasar malam.


Petai.. quite interesting the way they present their ware.


Cosmetics. Never ever buy foundation, lipstick, eyeliner or lipliner from capalang brands. Eyeshadows are fine because mixing and matching is good. And you can throw the colour out after using it once or twice as it is so cheap. But ugh, imagine putting some RM3.90 lipstick on and then swallowing it as you do with your usual lipstick.


what..?!


Yes, I KNOW it's a watermelon.


L-r: Josiah, Lie Yuen
We bought some satay for dinner.


*air liur meleleh*


This durian dude asked me to take a photo of him. I layaned lah. And then the mango dude in the next stall told me to go home and "use the computer to see through his pants, because he never wear underwear". Sheesh.


Meat... been a while since I had some good ol' pork. It's not pork though.


Dried goods.


Nice colours!!


MMMMmmmMMm.... but no time to cook la these few days. So just for the sake of taking photographs only.


I LOVE CRABS. But lazy to peel. :( So never get to eat crabs. T_T


I LOVE SEAFOOD~~~~~


The fisherman arranging his squids so that they would look prettier.


Oklah, not exactly a favourite. Sting rays have the texture of rubber.


*Air liur meleleh more*


Not a fan of green apples, but such a pleasure to photograph!


We bought these though. Pulut udang. I thought it was otak-otak. Felt so disappointed. :(






So kaku lah they all. Supposed to do that running running thingie and look back at the camera and wave pose.


Damn old school right???


This is me buying my dinner. Yeah, makelove the diet. Mummy and Daddy say I cannot swear on my blog. Sorry.


KEROPOK LEKOR!!!! I know WHO loves it. hehhee. But you can't have too many of it at a go, or else you'll cause your palate to feel really raw..Owww.. And then if you leave the rest for later, it's no good anymore because it's best eaten when its crunchy and hot!!


finger food!


Oh god..............*orgasmic*


One of the highlights of Malaysian cuisine.


Lie Yuen wonders about the usage of pink coloured onions.


I'm not entirely excited about something pink for once.


It's supposed to go with this french toast thingie.. which is actually a square omelette.


Fried sausages.


Fried chcken!


pulut udang!


Abit like curry puff....but they have all kinds of fillings.


The obligatory bag of satays.


Inside the pulut udang..


The three fattening food to rule them all!!

It's good to break away from the norm every now and then. I'll DIE if I have to eat kuay teow thng, chicken rice, wantan mee or bakkutteh every night. Or Kangkung with soup.

:(

Nope, never been one of those girls who have an overflowing friendster inbox with Ah Beng's begging to be friends. I don't think I'm an Ah Beng's cup of tea.

There was this one guy who viewed my friendster though.(among 140 viewers since the start of the month. I may be sad, but not THAT pathetic as to be excited about ONE guy) So he seemed like a very down to earth(read: far from your average egomaniac metrosexual (read somemore: bit nerdish, someone who has worked in the IT line far too long type)). And I'm judging from his profile photo. Graduation day, very happy looking, with a bouquet of flowers. His age? 27. Hmm. Someone hasn't been camwhoring in a very very long time.

He left pretty intriguing messages. A nice change compared to the usual suspects of "Can I friendster you?" "Can u gif me tel number? I want meet you." "Can I make an introduction between my penis and your vagina?"

Obviously you know I made the last one up. No Friendster-desperado types can conjure such flawless grammar in that last sentence. :)

So his first message was like this:

hi jolene,

Just drop by to wish you a very happy mother's day !!! What did u do or get for your mum on this special day ?

Fair enough. At least a little effort in trying to be friendly.

Jolene wrote:
hey:)
i got her Rose Body Lotion from Bodyshop...and what did u get your mother?

What? He seemed friendly. So, I, be, well, be friendly back..

Boon Eu wrote:

hi jolene,

is bodyshop having a sales ? where did u get that ? how much is that ?

apparently, i get her nothing. Just spend more time with her and help her in doing house chores. A simple life here.... u hv msn ?

It's very hard to come across a Friendster weirdo who speaks passable english and actually asks more things than "Got photo? Wanna see your breasts."

Once again I made the last bit of the sentence up. We ALL know Friendster desperados CANNOT structure a sentence like that!

Jolene wrote:
erm yes. but can we talk through friendster? i prefer that.

no... Rm39.90. Bought at Sunway Pyramid's branch.

welll..at least u spend time with her;)

I don't like to add people to my MSN only to ignore them after awhile. Waste of space you know? For sure I'll ignore someone I don't know..

Boon Eu wrote:
errmm..... sure.... i can understand why u want to talk in friendster first..

u bought at sp ? I just pass by there just now, came back from midvalley.

u also spend time wif ur mum wut. still studying ? wht course r u taking ? i cant really see the details cause im not in ur friend list yet.

what do u like to do usually ? whts ur chinese name?


I get bored very easily with tennis type of messages. I hit you back, you hit me back. Clearly we have nothing in common and clearly I'm just being nice. So enough lah, let this message rot in my inbox.

Three days later, I get another message from this Boon Eu fella:

hi jolene,

I think i gave you a reply through friendster and still not yet receive your reply. Been wondering, is this the end of the communications. Well, if you visit my site, there might be some perceptions that i'm like a female photo collector like most people think. Hey, i add, i write, i reply and i write and i really do communicate. Now when u see this, u must have thought if you really do, u must be the most busy person in the world, there are 400++ ppl in your list !!!! Well, some reply for a short period n then disappear, some write write write also dont reply, some deleted me w/o my knowledge, some reply within the range of 2 sentences, some reply until
not enough space then we shift to email but hey, those who reply are about 1% of my list.

You aren't in my list, u reply but u stopped. I was wondering what is the purpose of being here. Isn't this place is for making friends ? Some told me, internet can not trust, the details is fake, the pic is fake, the things they put is fake, the stories they tell also fake.... watever these ppl are fake..... okay!!!! so everything in this cyberworld is fake .....so what is real ? why are ppl flocking over here and pretend making friends ? If there are real ppl wif real stories n details in the net, y aren't they open to sincere friends? Then they answered, they don't know you, you are behind the screen, can't verify at all.......I said, you got a point.... so what if i lie to you right on your face, can u tell that im lying ? Hahaha... got them....

Then they said, the ppl in their list are all known, they know them in real life...... Oh okay.... so y cant they meet me in real and then i be their real friend? they said, safety mah.... who knows you are a serial rapist killer with a vampire sucking teeth
with a monster inside you who are planning to pounce on them when you got the chance ? Bad news bout these stories is on and off in the press, don't u know ? I said, okay......, so everything here is fake, people who dare to make me their real
friends is risking their life for being killed, raped, brutally tortured by this possible monster in everyone of us.... So this is a place to group only known existing friends who they already known for years in real life....

So where do i seek new friends ? All my friends from college are here n there except where i stay..... and i am forbid from this crowded places filled with killing smokes which flocks over there and drink liver killings liquid.. so how ? how ar,
huh ??? Go back to school ? Go to gym ? Hmm.... maybe go to bookstores.... haha..... Jolene, what do u do for ur leisures ? Is your friends all your
existing known real friends ? What is your concern for now ?

-Boon Eu.

You're scary. I ignore people on friendster for leisure. Yes, all 500+ people on my list are friends from real life. My concern is you.

Bye bye.

o_o Nah, I didn't send that back to him. I also malas to reply. Later he send me another loooong message. Wastage of brain space to try and read through it.

Freak!! Have you ever had someone demand that you reply their messages??? By the way? Bad english..baaaad baaaaaaaad baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Sorry lah, abit anal about these things. I know I don't speak(most of the time) or write(sometimes) like the Queen Of England, but if it's my first time talking to a certain someone, I will be trying my very best to avoid the simplest grammatical blunder.

That aside, my god. Will you look at his novel of a Friendster message?? And those points are quite silly.

If someone doesn't want to be a friend, she won't reply. Take the hint, buddy. No need to reply with an entire thesis discussing about the pros and cons about making friends online. Furthermore it is not even ENTICING to talk to a stranger.

Gone are the days of adding random people to my ICQ list and surfing IRC to make "new friends". Those were the days when only a grand total of 2 people from my standard 6 class had internet at home.

These days? I can't even find time or energy to layan ALL my real life friends online(I still love you guys, you know I do. Just message me anytime,we'll catch up.. yam cha or something?) and most of them don't message me for nothing because they are very busy as well.

Whereelse, friends through blogging, that's a whole new genre. We share the same interests, we have a slight understanding about each other's lives via our blogs... but other means of friends-making ie. Skype, Friendster, MSN Pages, what not what not.. ugh. So ... I don't know...internet noob(female)/internet perv(male.).

I don't know about you guys lah, but this Smalls always emo about how much she loves Gavin, and misses Gavin and stuff.

Apparently, *eye open big big like preparing to tell BIG conspiracy like that. sorry too much of Da Vinci Code* Gavin also blogs!! At this group blog that he has with his friends, called ThinkTanks. Quite ingenious, the name.

However, his friends think that he has been emo-ing a little too much in his posts as of late. About what else but of a recurrent theme which is subtlely described as, "Its a female monkey. Rather challenged vertically. Cackles alot. Commonly seen snuggling up to Gavin like there's no tomorrow."

Apparently there is a petition going on to go against the Emo Gavin at their group blog. They are having the petition to impose an Anti Social Behavioural Order on him. HAHAHA. GO AND VOTE TO GO AGAINST THEM, PEOPLE.

Jocelyn gets a free dinner from Gavin lah for promoting it on her blog.
Me ar? Um, Gavin doesn't know me, but I think I should have Smalls' gratitude. Hehehe.

I like bo liao things. *pbbbffsst*(raspberry)
